 Politics › Re: Manifesto A Must In The Next Election by KnowAll(op): 10:02am On Apr 08, 2010 |
Some Nigerians are going to the polls soon don’t forget to demand for an official Manifestoes from those prospective LG Chairmen. Most LG government these days get a lot of money from the FG, averaging between N35 and N90 million depending on the population so ladies and gentlemen ask for an official Manifesto. This subtle bye product of our democracy should not be taking for granted. It is the key that lubricates the rustiness of democracy, reorientation and making this idealism a fact of our everyday existence is an objective that should be at the forefront of our Democracy, INEC, FG and State Government should have radio and TV jingles reminding the citizenry of this wholesome civic duty. Lets get started. We cannot eradicate corruption in our country when those employed to do a job don’t have a job description even if they have a job description what are the prospective office holders bringing to the job. How are they going to eradicate the poverty in the land. Nigeria is specifically and generally an agrarian society why all LG don’t have mechanised farming is something I don’t understand. I read somewhere some of our lands are going to be lease out to some foreign nation for them to grow products for their home market what non sense, this is absolutely bull excreta, the FG must stop this neo-colonialist move with all their might. |

Why re-invent the wheel when there is already a wheel in progress, I was wathcing that Isola Balogun campaign on u tube including the Q and A session what he plans to do is basically what Jonathan is already trumpeting. The North should realise that the illness of Yaradua is not Jonathan's making, since they ran on the same ticket, he should be allowed to complete the race. |

What are your credentials? Are you willing to be vetted by Nairalanders? Not really, but one thing is certain I have being in the fore-front of a crusade to eradicate corruption in our country. Ribadu at the moment is a diasporas like many of us he might need like minded people both at home and abroad in setting up his operation in Nigeria, I just felt those of us who have been coming to this forum for years tearing out our hair over the madness perpetuated back home, this might be an opportunity to serve the mother land if our services are needed. In fact let someone put a poll on this thread and the names of those who are intrested in operation Zero Tolerance To Corruption, If I qualify all well and good and if I dont qualify no hard feelings at least I would know that those who qualify would do a good job if not a better job. |

| Politics › Re: Cnpp Urges Jonathan To Run For 2011 Presidential Polls by KnowAll(m): 4:09pm On Apr 04, 2010 |
My inclination is Jonathan is going to run but the strategy is for the PDP spokesman to scream at the roof tops for all asunder to hear and get the message loud and clear that the Presidency has been zoned to the North, this would allay any fear or discontent from that zone. What will now happen would be the positioning of IBB as the front runner only for IBB to pull out in the last minute having already chosen Jonathan as his running mate. I sense IBB would now pull out of the race 2 to 3 weeks to the election proper or better still when the election has being completed in which case it would be too late to start organising another primary. The reason why I believe this is the strategy is because for the Americans and Brits to go and visit someone who is not in power or even in goverment in his private residence in Minna is very unusual. Going to visit IBB in his Minna mansion, when there was a sitting President in the nation to use a more subtle word appear not only subversive but damn right rude and undiplomatic to say the least. Basically what it would simple mean is Jonathan would be the deputy running mate up to such a time the Presidential Candidate pulls out of the race either b4 or after the elections for health reason therby giving Jonathan a clear run for the Presidency. IBB's lack of lustre or enthusiamsm is a bit of a worry, I also sense the American's love the Jonathan script as a man who have never stood for an election and yet tends to end up being the beneficiary of such office. |

You have a right to be silly, but distorting facts will not help your aimless agenda. Do you know the meaning of the word "landlocked" or are you deliberately trying to sound annoying? Ikwerre's are Igos quite alright, where they beg to differ is the concept of Biafra. They don't share your ethusiam and rightly sure they are entitled to their own views after all not all Germans are within the Borders of the German State. The Austrians, a part of France and Switzerland and even Poland have ethinic Germans and are more comfortable the way they are now than to be under one super German state. But from the postings I have gone through on this thread one can sense assimaltion tendencies from the East Centran Igbo, these unfortunate views not only sounds and looks expanionist in nature, it stinks of it. |

You posted an Edocentric site to prove your point? Guy forget that side. Edos have no claims to Lagos. What baffles me is how Edos didn't encounter Osun, Oyo, Ogun before getting in to Lagos. It baffles me how they can fly from Benin back in the days directly to Lagos. So I can post a Yoruba centric site to prove Yorubas are the creators of mankind?The Edos came from Yoruba's initially everybody knows the story, one of the son's of Oduduwa founded Benin. The Benin Kingdom predates the Oyo Empire, hence the reason why the Benin Kingdom controlled the whole western Nigeria Coast from Dahomey to escarvos. Thare is no reason for the Binis to settle in Ibadan or Ijebu ode or Abeokuta because these are landlocked hinterland abodes and of no benefit to the Bini Kingdom. Since there has being a long passage of time 400 years precisely it would be difficult to prove, but one thing I can assure u is most coastal towns along the west Afracan coast consist of an almagamation of different tribes. That is why King Jaja who was Igbo from the hinterland was the king Opobo a town on the coast. Your argument lacks substance man |
| Politics › Manifesto A Must In The Next Election by KnowAll(op): 10:43am On Apr 04, 2010 |
It is good that democracy is back, in fact it has been back for 11 years now and one of the core ingredient and a bye-product of democracy has rarely sufaced in our discussion boards, in our newspapers or even in our elections. Ooops I gaffed there, it actually comes up to the foreshore during election campaings albeit informally, word of mouth manifestoes, yes I can remember clearly when Bola Tinubu promised during his first term election campaigns, that the 4th mainland bridge would be one of the cornerstone of his time in office, like everyone else I was excited that this project that has been on the drawing board for decades would be resusitated. 11 years later, even Mr Action Governor- Fashola has not touched this laudable project that would have eased the pain of those travelling from the Lekki Corridor to Lagos Island and mainland. Manisfestoes are like report sheet. If your child goes to school, at the end of the term u would ask him or her about her report sheet, just to reassure your self everything is in order with your child. Have we ever asked why there is no visible development in the country?  , because we the electorates have not demanded from all the the officials from the councillors in the LG to the Presidency of what their plans are for the ward, or the country or the state as the case maybe. I work with British civil service and every six months they have a mid term report on how u doing in the job, if u need to go on some courses u discuss it with your bosses. This trend continues year in year out whether u have been in the post for 6 months or 12 years it does not matter.What brought this topic to my attention was the recent Anambra state elections conducted in the month of February this year, where the 3 candidates vying for the post where all good candidates. I thought to myself the incumbent Mr Obi should be a lot easier to analysis and put under the microscope. If Obi had a Manifestoe which was presented 6 months b4 becoming the Governor, his failures and short-comings would be visible even to to the blind, if he has failed, the thought of him, facing an already disgruntled electorate to canvass for their votes would be a daunting and herculian task. The electorates needs a bird's eye view of an incubent's accomplishment or failure as the case maybe. But in the absence of a Manifestoe one cannot properly and honestly evaluate the political office holder. Although one has a vague idea how they have performed but without a systematic annotation such views are hollow and lacks substance. Manifestoes is a contract between the aspiring office holder and the electorate, it needs to be collated and put together well b4 the election has being held and it should be kept within ample access of a public domain. That is the public at any point in time should be able to access the Manifestoe making sure the wordings, lettering, and suject matter has not being distorted in anyway and manner. In essence comparing the aims , objectives and goals of what is listed in the Manifestoes with what has transpired on the ground should be straight forward and unequivocal. In fact I beleive just like your Bible and Quoran, I would expect the citizenry of the states to master the manifestoe by heart, this is neccessary as it would enlighten the citizens of the state ,LG, and the country of the duties and promises the Governors, Ministers and the Presidency has made but not yet fulfilled. I hear people say there are no opposition in the polity, there is only one reason for this misconception, we the electorate armed with a well documented Manisfestos should and are the number 1 opposition even b4 the officail opposition parties. In fact the vociferous voices of the electorate actually boost the official opposition parties confidence level immensely. We have 13 months to go, let us demand for IBB's Manifestoe. Fashola's Manifesto, Jonathan's Manifesto, Buhari's Manifestoe, and all our prospective Chairmen, Governors and House reps Manifestoe In the current dispensation out of a mark of 7 Edo State - 2/7 Ondo-2/7 Oyo-1/7 Lagos -3/7 FG-1/7 Rivers-1/7 and every other governor, those that have done a good job would probably get 2/7 and those who have done a shoddy job would get 1/7, by my estimate nobody gets 0/7 because salary gets paid. That is why so many states are 1/7 and those who are bit innovative gets 2/7. Fashola leads the way with 3/7, which is not particulary a pass mark We should demand official Manifestoes so that we can evaluate them better next time. |

It has gone a full circle, the Edo's where the first King of Eko, those early Edo's where not viewed as strangers in the 1600's, the indigenes of Lagos did not only accept this man as one of them, they made him a King. Fast forward 400 years later, another Edo man with admirable intellect who was born in Lagos speaks Yoruba as the mother tongue is being queried as to his indigneship by people of Ijebu stock what is the world becoming. If those stone aged but learned and ancient lagosians can have the wisdom, the vision, and the astuteness of recognising a great man, not only from his background, but from his locus standi within the community as it where, one is amazed by the so called mordern educated scholars, their comments, their decorum and their misdearnors is not only embarassing, it is demeaing. My take is these mordern day antogonist are an aberation, engineered by the misfortune that has engulfed and befalling the land, they are history manipulators, they are selfish, self centred people who want to reap where they have not sowed. What hope do we have in Nigeria, when there are people who want the sweat and blood of those who toiled the land to be in vain. Mr Aganga is not even asking for the obaship like his forebeares did 400 years ago, he is only informing Nigerians of his state of origin, the Jonathan regime can see the wisdom in Mr Aganga's proclaimation why would some mordern day political distortionist like Felele who himself is of Ijebu stock would want to re-write history beats one's, imagination the earlier these lagos urchins get off the internet the better it would be for Nigeria and Lagos State. These distortionist and history manipulators are tantomount to Nazi apologist who beleive the holocaus did not happen. See History of Lagos Obaship from 1600's attached. http://edoglobalorganization.org/Publications%20pdf/Edo%20Customs/History%20of%20the%20past%20and%20present%20Oba%20of%20Lagos.pdf |

Biafra has actually blocked your thinking pipe and rendered you completely moronic. Who mentioned Biafra here now? Anytime you read up anything on Igbo or eastern affairs you sh'i't your pants. In the other thread on state police, you couldn't even contain yourself to first read the topic before panicking down your views that it would be abused by tribalists and secessionists (by implication). Why not go and learn courage first before airing any views in public. It is impossible to intelligently discuss a topic when you are busy sh't'ting your pants at the mention of Igbo, or any thing that may be remotely related to self determination. Coward! Oh boy u dey vez, because I caught out in the other thread, stop thinking like small child. Make sure u proof read b4 posting otherwise boys go just de make u look silly all over the place.

Stop picking sums from the air; argue with facts. tpia asked you for the figures to back your argument. You are yet to do that, instead you are quoting fictitious sums. It would be stu*p*d and nonsensical to start quoting figures from the air when their is standard trend which is prevalent in the west african coast line. There is no country in the whole sub-region that has a city which is more developed than the capital of that state. Lagos like every other city on the coast buck this trend irrevocably why should I now embark on a exercise in futlity to debunk a trend that is as clear as day light. Even the blind men in Lagos would know this city has gotten good bite in the nIgerian pie. |

while you're at it, go and find out what happened to your own state's allocation for that period. I dont have to prove it, the evidence is there for all to see. Lagos was both the Capital of Lagos State and the Federal govement. Assuming u have 18 states in the country and u give every state N0.5 million Naira making a total spend of N9 million, lagos spent 1/2 of the FG'S ALLOACATION together with that of lagos that is 6.5 million to lagos alone while the rest of the country share reminder.

has anyone verified Aganga's antecedents yet? Huh -where is his mother from? -if he really is from Edo state, then is he a first, second or third generation immigrant to lagos? -initially, some news reports said he was from Ekiti. Is this true. -why should Lagos always the the only state in Nigeria that tries to follow due process? Why is lagos the only state "belonging to all Nigerians". Are the other states located in outer space, the sahara desert and atlantic ocean, or why cant they also be more accommodating like lagos. This is the 21st century. Una no dey shame? -why cant Jonathan appoint ministers for other states whose forefathers also migrated to those places from somewhere else. Lagos State took 75% of Nigerian's income between 1967 and 1992, whilst taking this income Nigerians from the four corners of Nigeria settled in Lagos doing their own quota in building Lagos. To now exclude the sons and daughters of these Nigerians whose sweat and blood built Lagos is not only unjust but also unwarranted. Especially those who have acquired the Yoruba language as the only language and the mother tongue in the household. Those who can speak the languages of where they came from can easily claim those places but those that speak only Yoruba will become stateless, how can u be a Nigerian and be stateless.

So how do you recruit police officers in Nigeria today? Simple question. I have stated it needs to be revisited, check out my first post again. A committe just like the Uwais reports that drew the amendments for the constitution should be reconvened with the sole aim of redrafting and tweaking the charter of the Nigerian Police force. The charter establishing it has being left untouched since the 1960's and needs to be reviewed and mordernised after all the 12 states created in 1967 has blossomed to 36 states today. |

State Police in the " Nigerian Context" would mean the genocides perpetuated in Plateau State would have been be accomplished by the Beroms, them being the majority and will probably also be the majority in the Plataeu State Police Command. This kind of conflagration or flashpoints would not be limited to Plateau State but will replicate itself all over the polity. State Police despite the good points associated with this kind of Policing would be a recipee for disaster in Nigeria. In any other homegeneous country it might work but in a multi ethnic society like Nigeria it is stuff of doomsday scenerio and unimaginable mayhem. This is a chasms we can certainly do without, what we should be looking at is the reformation of the Federal Police to make it workable, the modus operendi has to be revisited and its charter reviewed, perharps a militia that straddles between the Federal Police as we know it today and a new National Guard Unit with a Military Colonel as its head might be worthy for consideration. I wrote about this a while ago. Somewhere in between those 2, something funtional and practical could emerge. It would require the expetise of erudite Nigerians to deliberate and put an acceptable force forward as the present one has outlived its expire date. The Police formation as it stands today was promulgated by the then Gowon regime in the 1960's. |

Please stop this 'Lagos is no man's land' nonsense. Lagos belongs to the indigenes of Lagos. For those that say that Lagos was developed with federal money, the only part of Lagos developed by the federal government was Lagos Island. The [b]other parts of Lagos such as Ikeja, Shomolu, Surulere, Mushin, Ilupeju, etc were part of the Western region before they were merged with L[/b]agos Island to form Lagos State by Gowon in 1967. As long as you can still trace your way to your father's village, then you have no rights to any positions that are available to the indigenous people of Lagos. By the way, I am not from Lagos but I was born and bred in Lagos. Mo kin se omo ale, mo mo ile baba mi. And Aganga was part of that western state up to 1963. Part of his commonwealth was used to develop lagos state, he was born there, he can speak the lingo fluently, so why exclude him. AC propanganda. |

While you are entitled to your opinion (which I disagree with), your reasoning is flawed.We practise a Party politics democracy and not a zero party democracy where allegience to indigeneship is the rule. In a party politics democracy loyalty to the party is the alpha and omega. Even if u come from planet zult and u claim to be a staunch PDP follower and sympathiser then you are half way there, Aganga has through his connections with Ribadu and El-Rufai sealed his own nomination as the PDP reps for Lagos State by dining and mixing with the right people. Indigeneship has no role to play especially in a party which has had a non existant status in Lagos state. The party needs new credible heavy weights and intellectuals after people like Bode George has brought it into disrepute. The man was born in Lagos, he speaks yoruba as a mother tongue what else do u want. Fashola did his Uni in Benin does that make him a lesser lagosian, what kind of warp thinking is that. Those of u arguing aganst Aganga, I sense are the same people always urging and arguing in favour of Fashola, a word of advise to your thick skulls, mind your own business and let the PDP Lagos Chapter be. You cannot be with Fashola and at the same time putting your bloody noses in PDP Lagos State's business. You are war mongers, ethnic mongers, not any different from the beroms who are claiming ancestral ownership to lands several tribes in Nigeria has settled on for 100's of years. |

Its a simple question: Should someone be appointed a minister representing a state that he is not an indigene of - Yes or No? Undecided The Answer is - Yes A PDP led FG can appoint whoever it deems fit to any position as a representative of lagos state, if the said appointee claims to be from that state, as far as the FG is concerened the party is non existant in that state and any Nigerian who claims to be from that state would do for the time being. The selection was not down to a AC led administration, but to a non existant PDP, all of a sudden PDP Lagos Chapter has a voice when it comes to come and chop, but election time they disappear into the thin air. It is within the realm of possibility for Dangote to be appointed as a business Czar reprensting PDP from lagos state, having traded in that city for well over 30 years. |

Nobody said Aganga shouldnt be appointed, but it should not be as a rep of lagos if he is not. I dont know of any precedence where people are to represent where they are not from.I guess you are one of those LAZY PDP card members from Lagos State that cannot even deliver their wards in a general election, and yet want to benefit from the largasse of the PDP, people like Koro should be touting around lagos trying to lure voters to thier hold. But silly Yaradua rewarded a man that cannot deliver his ward with an abassadorial post. If AC where the goverment at the center or the FG, the imposition of Aganga would not have being possible. Look PDP in Lagos State has no leg to stand they have not delivered and so should not be rewarded.

It is clear the role people like GD, Akala, and the Oshun man would play in the forth coming elections, these men would be the Regimental Seargeant Major (RSM ) for the IBB campaign, they would not only make a killing in terms of funds required by inflating the pivotal role they will play in installing massers IBB as the King of Aso rock, they would also have assumed that sacred post of Oyo-mesi or King makers as with the old Oyo empire.

As someone pointed out, he didn't even school in Lagos State, so what is his claim to Lagos indigeneship exactly, just accident of birth Olusegun Aganga is more a Yoruba than Edo, he might bet ancestorially linked with the Edo's so are the Binis that settled in lagos in the 1700's. I saw him speak in that conference and the way he pronounced some Yoruba names nobody has to tell u he is a true son of the soil. Even his English language speech is tainted with a ting of Yoruba accent. How more Yoruba can he be, as far as I am concerned he is more Yoruba than some self acclaimed Yorubas. Apart from that diasopoaras who have exelled in any displine should be allowed to return to the home country and give their own quota to the development of the country, they should also be allowed to claim any one of the 36 states since some of them might have lost touch with the home country. Lagos state dosen't even have the f****ing right to deny someone wanted by presidential fiat to be a representative of lagos state, lagos being the most cosmopolitan state in the country hence the reason why Aganga was attached to lagos. Secondly the PDP in lagos did not deliver Lagos to the FG why should Federal Authorities listen to a bunch of loser PDP politicains who cannot deliver their state to the centre goverment. If lagos state was PDP today this kind of imposition would have being impossible but because lagos is an opposition state, they get treated like opposition, they need to go and find their voice by voting PDP in the next general election or shut up. What has people like Koro done to deserve an ambassodorial posting. F***k*ng bunch of losers. |

That income is a bit high but it is based on 2 jobs not one job. b4 tax it is about £4,900. I pay all the bills in the house and maintain 2 families after divorce so I am out of pocket after paying all the bills. my wife helps out to make the pain bearable. out of £2750, £3150 GOES OUT, SO I am out of pocket every month by £350.00 |
