PoliticalWitch:
Note for the senator

1.Oil is at $59 dollars per barrel today

2.We need oil to be at $140 per barrel before we can reduce taxes, and stop borrowing.(For the uninformed, see this article HERE)

3.Bubu is bad , I know....but the truth is, since he took office , oil has hovered between $75 and $30 per barrel. So borrowing has been in order to prevent total collapse.

4.Also, we have no choice in this country but to raise taxes. Simple.

5.I want APC out too. But whoever takes over is going to meet the same set of problems. The problem of getting money.

6. So, let's face the cold reality. Sorry APC has not been good at diversification like they promised.

Modified;

Call me paranoid. I don't care. But I'm the King of adhering to safety precautions. Let's leave religion aside and do things right. I.e if Dbanj knew he had a pool in his house, the family ought to be more careful with a crawling baby around the house.


Safety is key. And every factory equipment and machine produced have safety rules one must adhere to. That's why they say around the factory no ties, no bangles. No wrist watches. Its for scenarios that can play out like this

healthserve:
Yes. You don't near any equipment with transmission belt with loose clothes. Its the standard rule

MetaPhysical:
No make hin head swell abeg.

FarahAideed:
If you look closely you will see the machine in question was a two stroke water cooled single cylinder deisel engine usually found in villages and it has a large tyre like transmission belt used to transmit power from the engine to the mill and from experience I can assure you if her Hijab gets caught in that belt it will drag and decapitate her in a second .

@Mecunno, He/she isn’t a monkey. You can disagree respectfully, but there’s no need to call anyone names. Let’s start trying to focus on issues not individuals.
@Oghenaogie, please leave it as it is and do not retaliate with an insult as well.
I want to be an agent for positive change not one that breeds quarrel or insults amongst people.

One of the region or a selfless leader is needed to champion the southern cause, the igbos sees the yourabas weak or too diplomatic a people, the yorubas view the igbos too overzealous and haven't no record of bigger monarchies, kingdoms or institution to show they will respect and submit to authorities if a southern political system is formed. South southern minorities haven't evolve in to a political unit yet. A melting pot is needed to be created among them all.

GMbuharii:
Unlimitk, you can believe whatever and whoever you want to believe. But the truth remains,we southerners are doomed if we continue like this. Pele o


As for you above,keep on promoting hate and discord. God is watching and will fix you

Blankstare:
Good. Your presentation are rational for the players of Nigerian project. Just like Ken saro wiwa of blessed memory will say ''ethnicity is a fact of an ethnic group, ethnocentrism is what's been use to cause commotion in a multi ethnic state''.

Osaze007:
Bayelsa votes are unfortunately inconsequential

RussianKGB:
Unity beggar inviting secessionists to his thread. What an opium.

Unlimitk:
I'm Yoruba
I asked the guy one on one
He said Edo
Even other Igbos know this
Wait! U think it's all of south south that like Igbos?
Better don't live in that delusion
Everybody has their own freewill
Don't just always assume stuffs

nabiz:
you are close to the truth. To add to what you have said, the problem between Igbos and Yoruba is based on what our father told us. Most of the Igbos and Yoruba who preach hatred are mostly those that have not traveled out to other region and still believe in what their father told them.

I was once like them. My judgment on Yoruba were base on what people told me about them and not really on what they did to me personally . I remember learning a skill in the mixed of Yorubas. Their language alone irritates me. I always feel insecure whenever they are speaking their language because I always think they are discussing me and this was based on what people told me about them.

The truth be told, yorubas are wonderful people. My little years of dealing with them proof to me that my parants where wrong, though we have bad eggs in every region. I can not forget Mr Yusuf of National automatic council, Abuja where i did my I.T., I can not forget Engineer Femi Akinde. I can not forget Mr. Jimmy Akinwmi and many Other.

The Yorubas and Igbos are just like 2 jealous woman married to one man(housas) who instead of pleasing themselves as a fellow woman try to please the husband. Before you crusify me I want to give you assignment.

The assignment is this
Just breathe in, relax, take a pen and piece of paper, write down how a Yoruba man or Igbo man have offended you personally and not what someone told you. Believe me if you try this you may not fine any. Why are we hating each Other? Why can we come together to fight our common enemy......

lokzie:
Pardon me, I think the point should be that we need visionary and competent leaders now more than ever. Regardless of tribal or political sentiments, Nigeria as it is today, is toying with its future on so many levels. Now more than ever, we need patriotic, competent, selfless and visionary leaders to steer us, as a nation, first out of poverty, secondly towards a deliberate future position. These current crop of leaders don’t cut it, time is not waiting for anyone, young teenagers of today will be competing for relevance in a world that depends less on oil. When people start to love themselves more than politicians from their tribe or political parties, we would begin to see that the love for anyone politician isn’t worth the destruction of your future or those of your young or future children.
If I needed it, I would gladly pay school fees to be tutored under Prof Iya Abubakar because he has proven to be competent in Mathematics, I would not necessarily be acting wise if I chose someone who say, is an accomplished musician for the same thing unless of course he/she is equally competent in Mathematics. My point is when things are free, we can choose to be less rational about our choices, however I think the future of the country is very valuable, certainly not cheap, so please let us set love for the country, love for ourselves and our children above blind love for our politicians whoever it is.

OGHENAOGIE:
you no well Buhari contested and won...stop ur stupidity beside Buhari is lettered too except you are deluded

MetaPhysical:
Ibo is known for industriousness and economic prowess. Toll gate is all about money and industry.

MetaPhysical:
Will you stop behaving like a pre-schooler?

Immhotep, come and carry your toddler comot for my thread abeg.

UniQue84:

I want Ibos here in Nairaland to know that there is a very bad blood and tension between us and it's not because of anything historically that we have done to bring this about. We are both victims of mis-fitting in a political space. The disharmony results from political power struggles in a political landscape hewned together by a foreigner.

Nonetheless, it is worth appreciating that thension is very managable through outlets such as Nairaland. What ordinarily would have erupted into fracas on streets is dissipated as heat and venom on internet.

I do not believe a Yoruba would fail to act and rescue an Ibo in a distress situation. Neither do I think if a Yoruba was struggling for life an Ibo nearby will refuse to act. Above and beyond the tension that tear us apart our humanity recognizes and responds to the inner emotions to preserve and nourish life.

I love my Ibo brothers and sisters....but we no go see eye to eye from now until Nigeria is finished and everybody go hin way.

Mightyhaiz:
Lol,take these buzzers serious at your own peril.. The reason they endure the loss of their identity and destiny is because they feel igbos are losing too. What a line of thought..
