Did you really answer the question above, or are you sounding like on of the PDP politicians.

I asked: How far have you gone; and you answered, we are getting there. Any other thing you said does not focus on the question.

It is not as if I am trying to discourage you. If you are sincere and serious I love what you are doing and will join you.

But first answer my question. you took off since 2009, what have you achieved? What were the challenges you met? What are the plans to make better results now, because it was obvious you anticipated to make impact during the last election but did not.

If you are a revolutionary, be assured you are talking to someone like you. But be straight and avoid rhetoric

Walahi, we need better EDUCATION, especially in the NORTH

This thread took off since 2009, how far have you gone!

Beaf,
I've never seen you criticize PDP-lead administration under GEJ for once and I've never seen you commended any initiative on the the part of opposition government no matter how good it might be. Don't you think something is wrong with you or your life? Each time I read your posts, I feel sad as if you were sitting next to me. Nigeria as a country is going down on daily basis and only what you people could do is to blame imaginary enemies when the Government has power, authority and resources to tackle the crisis. If USA could go to far away Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Syria in the name of fighting terrorism and their citizens feel safe, I'm baffled by the GEJ's govt inability to curtail domestic unrest. With your stereotype line of arguement, I don't pray to have your type in my immediate environment. Or may be you just like attention, and surely you know how to get it.

You mention a process of social engineering and recolonization but fail to outline precisely what work has been advanced in these areas hitherto or even how the NRP plans to attain such highfalutin goals by partaking in the ‘democratic’ elections planned for 2015.

You know, too often we rest content in a state of ignorance; spouting criticisms about the current socio-political system, even as we exhibit the lack of discipline or focus to engage in the search for credible alternatives.
Against this backdrop, I applaud your efforts to elevate the debate.

Still, it needs to be said that there is nothing new here.
The NRP has tendered what is unquestionable a Maoist template, which requires us to suspend our current realities and ignore historic specificities.
This is not the kind of change we desire, @KnowAll

And what is this I read about your leader who specialises in Maoism and was a Yoruba Nigerian?
Has he gone off to the great beyond (a place of no return) or simply ceased to be Yoruba/Nigerian, by virtue of being embedded behind the great wall of China for too long?

Its your numbers we are disputing, maga.

Besides, even if they win that election, it WILL BE OVERTURNED. its that simple

People like Kodewriter have the mentality of people that died before 1960. This is 2011 dude. The world is a global village and democratically the minority will have a say and the majority will everly  have their way. I still think the Yorubas are a majority in Lagos, closely followed by Igbos. If in the future the Igbo population surpasses that of Yorubas in lagos then common sense will tell you that they'll have their w

Besides anything you have to say is moot. You are not resident in nigeria and do not know enough about it to make comments. You are definitely NOT YORUBA and you probably only read about dangote on the web once you grew old enough to surf without supervision.

This is the cold hard reality of life in nigeria. There are ANCESTRAL LANDS. There are INDIGENES. Indigenes have RIGHTS as distinct from SETTLERS.

You are the one who lives in cuckoo land. Nowhere in the world do people willing give up legacies bequeathed by their ancestors without being compelled forcefully. Not Saudi Arabia, Not Japan, Not China. If such people are so concerned with serving their country, then they should go where they are needed most. Not Lagos but KANO. He can do more service there.

He is permitted under the law but he is NOT ENTITLED to it simply because he employs people there. Otherwise Yoruba CEOs of oil servicing firms would have a right to contest for governorship in Rivers and cross-rivers.

Face the reality, we are a conglomeration of nations, and as far as the yoruba NATION is concerned, Dangote IS NOT A CITIZEN.

One other thing: I am ok with being ineligible for governorship in Lagos because they are also ineligible for Governorship in my state. Obviously people serve as commissioners across state boundaries (current Osun governor Aregbesola was a commissioner in Tinubu's cabinet). That doesnt mean a Non-Yoruba can simply walk into office there.

Respect your landlords.

compared to the Ashantes, the Ga are a tiny tribe. Compared to Hausa/Igbo we are not. So your assertion is wrong AGAIN.

Stop using examples from a nation of immigrants. they are all newcomers and no one has more claim than the next over there. We Yorubas have been living here (the awori have been there for centuries) for centuries and should be respected.

The onus is on the stranger to be civil at least and not try to collect the morsel from the homeowners mouth.

@KnowAll,

What are our founder's antecedents? (see, I am beginning to sound like a card-carrying member of NRP already ) 
I am not asking for a photograph, lest I be mistaken for one bent on building a personality-cult before the ship sails, but just a short bio of sorts.

You see, one needs to know this new 'leader' is not cut from the same cloth as the charlatans currently desecrating the vision of our esteemed founding fathers - the ones you mentioned earlier.

Our leader was a Yoruba Nigerian that left the shores of our country in 1942, for china, he was ardent admirer of Chairman Mao, hence the reason why he went there. He also had interest in Eastern mysticism, Japanese Folklore and Tradition. In his time he has seen two backwaters, rural countries transformed in less than 3 decades to one of the most sophisticated places on Earth.

And in less than 10 years, he has seen China change her tack marrying successfully Western nation’s brazen capitalism with a comfort given communism. Since our leader has experienced both trends, he confides to us that the pitfalls Chairman Mao experienced cannot be repeated, he knows where the Chairman got it wrong and how. On a visit to Japan in the early 1970’s, he wrote his idealism and named it “the lost and last book of reason” which we the followers of the NRP termed the ‘Red Book’.

He wrote this book within the confined tranquillity of a Japanese Buddhist monk’s temple. The book was passed on to the reformers in China as a comrade-in-arms goodwill gesture. His Doctorate thesis to the Communist Party was based on “the possibility of fast tracking a multi- dimensional leap into industrialisation whilst still holding on to the tenets of communism” this paper was wildly accepted by the communist party.

His many articulated views and tenets, were adhered to and followed, the result today is the rise of China from the cacophony of misery, poverty and penury into a lender of last resort even to the super nations of the world.

Equalism? Sounds like a variant of communism to me. That bird won't fly homie.

KnowAll,

This party is going to need an ideology, something that separates the wood from the chaff which abounds everywhere.

KnowAllism (?), Zikism, Awoism, AminuKanoism, Islamism, Godfatherism, ManOfGodism, Classical liberalism, Modern liberalism, Social democracy, Neo-liberalism, Marxism,  something to hedge our bets on.

What's your call?

2015 is around the corner we are preparing, the Chairman and Elder statesman comrade and founder of NRP Mr Adebayo Mao tse tung, an ardent follower of Maoism has just released a communiqué, Nigeria can be greater than China in 10 years time, a 1 million man un-employed graduate march would commence October 1, 2011 in a city to be determined, stay tuned.

Don’t forget comrades we still have 20,000 Vacancies all over Nigeria.

Do you still maintain that Boko Haram has not attacked Yola?

http://www.thenigerianvoice.com/nvnews/42418/1/boko-haram-attempts-jailbreak-in-yola-prison.html

Members of the radical Islamic group Boko Haram who are inmates of an over crowded federal Prison in Jimeta, Yola, Adamawa State, this morning started a riot in a bid to escape from the facility.[/b]Reports from Yola said trouble started early Tuesday morning after a routine roll call for inmates when suddenly, members of the radical group attacked prison warders refusing to return to their cells.

Imagine a very poor state of osun embarking on a meaningless project. How many people are in osun state? ? How many people visits osun state in a whole year? ? The governor should focus on those projects that will affects lives of his already poverty ridden people than talking about project he has not even done the feasibility appraisal for.
