Okay, I'll come back to read comments. That seems to be more interesting these days.

There's this book published early this year by a professor. It's titled "Economic Diversification in Nigeria". The book details certain political underhand in the building of a Post-Oil Economy in Nigeria.
The author, Zainab Usman, is of the northern Nigeria extract. And I think she spoke some frank truth about the economic strength pertaining to each composite regions and the factors that contributed to these economic and political realities.

Anyone interested in its pdf can DM.

On God

Information disorder is a menace on it own. And that's what you get when every Tom, Dick and Harry assumes the role of information purveyor.

I hope Nigerians institutions are observing. This is why consistency is everything. I strongly believe Peter Obi presented valid credentials. What is standing against that is the floppy system and non adherence to a style. Nigerian institutions must institutionalise their styles! Be unique and stay unique!

Nobody mentioned Awka of Anambra state so far, why?

"we dare not miss this chance, because we cannot be sure of anther"

I like this part.

Let it be known it's Youth-O'clock next year!

Whatever happens, whoever emerges in 2023, it's electoral decision of the youths. Youths are going to decide who rule their country next.

2023 elections are going to be the prevailing decisions of the majority of Youths.

And it should be known also, as it stands, no political party or candidate has monopoly of youth support. No doubt, in their struggle to market their
favourite candidates, certain sections of the youths may be more pronounced than the other, but the fact is, to every political divide are sizeable youth adherents.

I have friends who are diehard supporters of Tinubu. Ditto Atiku and Obi. And of course, I have in all these camps who are lossing sleep because of their opposing candidates supporters.

The point is, there's a mass political reawakening going on, especially amongst the youths. And as much as you can identify this with a party A, you cannot say otherwise of the party B, also. Youths are everywhere and they are for everybody.

It's truly an audacious August.
I like this woman's personality. She's fierce. Critical and daring. What a woman!

She'll make a good president.

I've gone through most of the comments under many political topics on Nairaland, and I've noticed that when it comes to people defending or trying to market their candidates, verbs like 'is', 'will' 'does', 'was', 'had', 'did' 'has' etcetera oftentimes flood the comment section e.g. under this trend: https://www.nairaland.com/7256146/2023-vote-why

To me, the choice of words predicts the political orientation the user has. It reflects on what sentiments s/he is making their decision. And it shows smug or uncritical satisfaction with their political interests.

For instance, if you say 'will', it tells us that you only presume a certain subject is going to act in a presupposed way; in a way s/he never did, so no any base for assurance he's going to do it at all, or to be fair, he's going to do it the most right way if he eventually does it. That's because no track record to reinforce the choice of 'will'/'is'. The same goes with other perfect present forms of the verb.

To illustrate, as an employer, would you give your one million dollars project to someone who only believes in his imaginary strength? He constantly uses 'i will', 'I am' 'i can' when what is expected is telling what has been done or achieve before, or someone whose choice of words involuntarily takes you back to things he was and had done? I think the choice here is clear enough.

Using certain words inadvertently reveals your competence or the lack of it. And for the one who's to make a decision based on this, it subtly reveals some levels of shallowness and shadowiness in the reasoning faculty, and it will ultimately result in poor decisions making.

My candid advice to PO followers —and others candidates' keyboard warriors, too, let your words reflect his competence, his track record and his capacity.

My concern is, is it that Nigerian military and paramilitary organisations are fundamentally established for people with genetic destitute of hair or bald?

I don't understand why police, DSS, Immigration, Nigerian Army—watermen, junglemen and airmen, and the rest of them will always have be on lastskin in their jaw region all through their service years

Any explanation?

It sounds like, "I hereby order an increment of my salary to the tune of 10million Naira monthly."

He's possibly right. Rich people's kids don't often believe in love; their feelings is always attached to physical beauty and affluence, nothing extra. The few of them that are in genuine love only love people from across other divide.

I remember how this Yellow guy issue generated a lot of sensations back then that it nearly pitched North against South.
But why now? Since the matter had been laid to rest either by sheer jingoism or true reflection of the justice, I found it quite distasteful that some people are now using political mechanism to wake a dead issue.

North is playing to the gallery here if you ask me. If they indeed feel unsatisfied with the pronouncements of the court then, what made them wait until now when they could have explored the justice system to the tip of it to get redress to the perceived inconsistencies in the judgment that locked up the accused..?

Well, politics is all more like trade and bater, and it's time again to do some business.
