Yoruba girls are always trying to act westernised, if you beat a yoruba girl, she would divorce you straight up (I am totally against battery), but we do have values. Its not until when you act like a white i.diot that we know u are educated.

This thread is useless, to think that tribes or etnic nationalities will toe a single line on election day is just plain stupidity (Bt that is what we hv in Nigeria). I am of the opinion that elections are not necessary at the moment in Nigeria, let's get the electorate educated:
You have teens advocating against child rights in Zamfara (a legislation that protects them).
You have people still talking about zoning, when leaders ought to be detribalised.
You have people advocating that 74billion naira be spent on education, when majority of our youths are unemployed (most unemployable).

But the most absurd hing about this, is that people are more than willing to spend hours defending these same leaders and advocating for them. Na u sabi ooooo

@post
Obj was a very bad politician, bt as a president he is still naija's best. He truly understood the need for capital structure in d country. Bt as a politician, na yeye man. He was vindictive, bad tempered and childish.

At last we are exporting something, no one in his right mind will say anything negative about this. Way 2 go Nasarawa!

People saying Jonathan is backed by d US may be right, but i am yet to see how that will affet the power-play in Nigeria. The US needs only our oil and at the moment they are getting enough from Iraq (bleeding those guys frm 2.5million to 12 million barrels) is not beans. They can afford to let us kill ourselves for nothing, na 4 CNN dem go dey watch us (Just look at Thailand, I heard these same words during the June12 brouhaha). Jonathan has got to be wise and rise above selfish interest.

I don't believe that Obasanjo put the North in any cooler, Obasanjo himself is a northerner, it is unfortunate that he has Yoruba parents. Whenever he wants to make any political assault, where does he start from? The North. He is more comfortable in the North than anywhere else, he is popular in the North. His main supporters are Northerners. In the interest of peace, Jonathan should not contest on the platform of the PDP. However he may, if he can make himself a Northerner (In which case there are no benefits of a southern president).

Anambra state, if reports are anything to go by seems to have a good governor. All these talk abt Soludo is meaningless, what will Soludo do? As an administator, he wasn't excellent. I don't even know his policies, today he is welfarist, the next capitalist. As a lecturer, fantastic! otherwise forget him. No need putting square pegs in round holes. Andy Uba is someone else that I admire in the state, too bad he has thrown his hat in the ring. Let's just forget Soludo.

I think your reaction to Know all's post brings to fore an important matter, the protection of corrupt leaders. I think Know all's post lacked tact and his language was a little blunt, but then your attack, the defense of Orji Uzor Kalu, Sani Yerima's defense and Ibori recently makes me wonder if electoral reforms are going to be effective. Our problem as a nation is a warped sense of loayalty (We are loyal to useless organisations and unprofitable institutions), and of course lack of a good educational system.

@Knowall

Bros there is no problem that is unique to the East, Nigeria is an unhealthy nation. Trying to posit a solution or ideology no matter how effective in the manner you have done earlier would arouse suspicion of tribal sentiments.


@All

This is a funny thread, if foreigners read this they would be disappointed when they get to know the places where you are comparing. Posters are basically comparing a man that died 10 years ago with a man that died yesterday, what is the use Our economy is dead! None of our cities (We don't even have cities, mayb Lagos would try a bit) is worth visiting as a tourist attraction centre. I have travelled to a few places, but I am yet to find any country like Nigeria. We have a one commodity economy, okay now I don't wanna get started (Let's just forget this argument).

@Mekusyz
Guy, the fact that a place has a resource means nothing, the question is do they have it in  a production-profitable quantity? The answer to that is no, most places in Nigeria don't have enough resource to make a wildcatter or prospector blink. However I do agree with some of your comments that present governors in the region are trying, and the region has suffered the most due to neglect by FG and past corrupt governors.

Below is a correction of your last post, please take note!


I don’t (don’t) know much about the American justice system but here in Naija this is 1st degree murder. I strongly doubt the defence can actually come out of it unscathed irrespective of whatever his DA pleads. However, he can actually go with a very light sentence if in addition to pleading provocation and temporary loss of insanity and control caused by walking in on his wife and another man making out in their matrimonial bed: his DA plays on the sense of moral decency of the judge and portrays the defence as a hardworking and dutiful husband who loves his wife so darely (dearly) to a fault. The worse thing to plead hear (here) is self-defence cos obviously, everyone knows the defence was not attacked, neither did the subject come at him with the intent to cause any physical harm. Since according to the defence, the wife went out for the door(note he didn't make any attempt to stop her) seconds after he forcefully let himself in but when the subject tried to make thesame attempt, a fierce fight ensued subsequently leading to the subject's death.(I) Am not a lawyer but i (I) know well enough not to plead for liniency (leniency) based on this scenario (scenario) cos it surely wont swing, the judge would conclude the subject was killed by the defence in an uncontrolled fit of rage, to even think that he had the time to get a knife worsens his case, self defence is a no-go area in this particular case.
But the defence has a couple of stuff going on for him in this case: first, the assault on moral decency that the DA will stir up in the judge, secondly, the fact that defence sounds remorseful and sounded forgiving when he talked about his wife being faithful until hitherto and lastly, the fact that the judge is married and understand the sanctity of marriage. Fact is that Nigerians may not be the most morally upright people, but they sure know how to frown at immorality in a way that will make angel Gabriel (Gabriel) green with jealousy
