Cretaceous: Ogbeni keep kwayet! You're silly to think I care about what you think. If I am Yoruba, it shall not be well with you and you shall die an asslicker! And If I have claimed what I am not, let that be my portion. Fool, now say amen.
Olodo! So the June 12 struggle brought progress and development to the SW? We are talking about landmarks, legacies and meaningful achievement which Awolowo is reputable for, this nonentity is talking about some selfish struggle which most actors ended up betraying the struggle. You are mistaken political actors for selfless leaders. Ogbeni just shut up. While I acknowledge the effort of Afenifere and the Nadeco group for their participation in the struggle, where has that gotten us to? Democrazy? You are lick Buhariiii's ass. Does he come across as someone who espouses the principles of the June 12 struggle? Yet you have your tongue stuck to this anus. We are talking about regional development, this one is talking political victories.
Nigga, are you for real? Please shut up! Lagos progress and development predate the emergence of Asiwaja. Lagos made Asiwaju and the not the other round. All Lagos governors have always performed beyond expectations due to the resources available at their disposal even though the development we are seeing is not commensurate with the resources available to them. Why did you talk about Lagos? Why not Osun, Ekiti, or Oyo? I am talking about the progress and development of the SW region, and you are mentioning Lagos. Y'all think SW stops at Lagos when y'all should be thinking about the transformation of the other SW regions to become glamorous and independent like Lagos. Imagine, if Nigeria balkanizes today, the poverty that will hit all SW states bar Lagos will be doing a press-up. It is stupidity on your part to attribute Lagos' success to Asiwaju who has done nothing than steal from Lagos, rape Lagos blind and still even robbing Lagos. eg his feud with Ambode. We all know it's not about performance but some vested interest. We are not fools like you zombies who cannot reason beyond what baba sowipe. Imagine if Asiwaju dies today, what will he be remembered for vis-a-vis what Awolowo is remembered for? Food for thought real food for thought........you need a crate of beer |

Press Release
Nigeria Is Going To Be The Envy Of The World Soon, Says VP Osinbajo On Independence Day
“The reason why we are so optimistic is because we know that we are the best, we know we are going to excel, it may seem like it’s taking a while, and there are many problems, but every one of the over 1,000 days that I have been Vice President for, I grow stronger in my complete confidence that we are going to be the envy of the whole world in a few short years. Well, you might say that that is optimistic, why not, I am a Nigerian” – VP Osinbajo
Remarks By His Excellency, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, GCON, Vice President Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria, At The Independence Day Dinner And Gala Night Held At The State House Banquet Hall, Abuja, On Monday, October 1, 2018
Protocols
I am extremely pleased to be here to join you all at this special anniversary dinner. I also must thank you all very much for honouring our invitation to be here to celebrate our country, especially on this 58th anniversary of our Independence. I am 61 years old this year, and most of those six decades I have lived here in this country, here in Nigeria. So, I think I can say that I know Nigeria quite well.
A few years ago, a poll reported in The British Independent newspaper declared us the happiest people on earth. The same poll said that we were also amongst the most optimistic people on earth, despite everything that we’ve experienced as a nation. I agree with both assessments, in other words, that we are possibly one of the happiest in the world, but I must also add that we are by far the most humorous people on the face of the earth. Well, if you don’t agree with me, but I can tell you so many reasons why we are the most humourous.
A few months ago, an important Nigerian politician who was on his way to a trial in a court said he was abducted. And after he escaped from his abductors, he remained hiding on a tree for 11 hours. The most interesting part of that story is that many people online in particular, on the Internet, started to tell stories of different birds and how long those birds could remain perched on a tree. All these were the Nigerian contributions to that story.
Yet another very important politician insists, and still insists that the most important attribute for leadership is dancing, and boy could he dance! And for those who think that that is ridiculous at least 200,000 people voted for him in a particular election.
When I served as Adviser to the Attorney General of the Federation between 1987 and 1992, I had a driver who was always broke. But he was always so optimistic. He had 14 children, while I, his boss, had only one child at the time. And I asked him, “Why do you just keep having so many children?” Of course he had more than one wife. He said to me in Yoruba “I don’t know which of them can become President of Nigeria. So, the more I have, the better my chances.” How optimistic can you be? Only a Nigerian can be that optimistic.
Wherever we are from, from whatever part of this great country that we are from, whether we are from the North, the South-South, the South East, West, wherever, we have the same DNA. We love our country and this may not always be obvious, but you try insulting Nigeria if you are a foreigner and you will see our fierce and angry our reaction can be. A Nigerian can say the same thing, but if you’re a foreigner, don’t try it.
We love our food, we love our clothes, we love our merrymaking. We love to be successful and we love success. We are resilient, we are fair minded. Nigerians always fight for the underdog, we believe in justice and the rule of law, even though our system still can do much better. But we are by far one of the smartest and, perhaps, the most talented people on earth. And I don’t say that lightly.
In the US, Nigerians are the most educated ethnic group, not one of the most educated, but the most educated. Sixty per cent of Nigerians in the US, we are told, have college degrees. This is above the American average of 30%. And Nigerians in US are one of the highest income earners in the US, and I choose America as one example. Nigerians earn 25% more than the median US income.
The world’s fastest supercomputer was designed by a world-renowned inventor, Philip Emeagwali, a full-blown Nigerian. This means Nigeria has the patent for the world’s fastest computer. The wealthiest black African, a Nigerian. Isn’t that a good thing? We are also told that the wealthiest black woman in the world is also a Nigerian. Who knows who the next wealthiest African would be here or the next wealthiest African?
A Nigerian family, The Imafidons, who live in the UK, have been officially been declared the smartest family in the UK, a family of about six children who have excelled in their academics in incredible ways. The designer of that famous car, Chevrolet Volt, is a guy called Jelani Aliyu, he now works for the Nigerian government; super talented Nigerian from Sokoto State. And for those who think that we are only giants in technology and business, Anthony Joshua is the world’s best heavyweight boxer, for those who watch boxing.
Everybody is dancing to Nigerian music, and our traditional attires, especially our women attires and headgears have conquered Africa. Even our male attire, there’s just something about the Nigerian swag. Whether they like it or not, we Nigerians are just exceptional, we are just different. Anywhere you go, you know a Nigerian, don’t you recognize a Nigerian when you see one? You can just tell. If you see anyone reading a book on How to become self-confident, know that he is not a Nigerian, we are born self-confident.
The reason why we are so optimistic is because we know that we are the best, we know we are going to excel, it may seem like it’s taking a while, and there are many problems, but every one of the over 1,000 days that I have been Vice President for, I grow stronger in my complete confidence that we are going to be the envy of the whole world in a few short years. Well, you might say that that is optimistic, why not, I am a Nigerian.
Happy Independence Day. God bless you all.

Politics › Re: Independence Day: Osinbajo Makes Prophetic Declarations About Nigeria by meccuno: 3:19pm On Oct 01, 2018 |
buJu234: Let's call a spade a spade, let's stop all these spiritual gimmicks and big big grammar, let's face the fact.
Statistics have it that 1 out of every 5 black people you see in the western world is a Nigerian, these are the people that are making wave in the black community in the western world. And they are all 99.9% from and given birth to in southern Nigeria (SW,SE, SS).
If these guys can do well in other people's countries why can they do well here? Reason being the quota system (that's destroys creativity ) will never allow them. and this system is controlled by the Northern Nigeria leaders.
whether you like it or not Nigeria is controlled by northern Nigeria, which means if northern Nigeria is not ok, the nation as a whole will not. Expect for what we are seeing today where southern Nigeria is far developed that northern Nigeria. Why because southern Nigeria encourages everyone to think for himself, attend school, very little quota systems.
Let the Northern Nigeria leaders change their leadership style from selective quota system to an inclusive democratic Islamic system like United Arab Emirates, Qatar and what the newly Saudi Arabia crown prince is doing to Saudi Arabia now.
Not the leadership system of the Pakistani, Yemeni , old Saudi Arabia Islamic government, that favour's only a few.
What happened to the Alimajeri schools that Past President Jonathan built? Inside those Alimajeri boys lies the future billionaires, captain of industry, that can change Northern Nigeria.
You call some states educational disadvantage, giving them low Jamb marks to enter into university, where by killing their brain power. That's why its hard for them to succeed in private enterprise ( every country grows on private enterprise not government funded enterprise ) that involves heavy competition, they only succed on monopoly and government favours. These can't help them become a global brand. Because all global brands must face tough competitions, the world is a global village.
Every developed country has developed based on the development of the people, human resources not natural resources.
That's why with all the crude oil in Saudi Arabia it can't be compared with Israel that has zero oil deposits.
Until the northern Nigeria leadership change from quota system to full human development for all northern people, where everyone is equal, has 100% right to school, where birth control is put in place, where Islamic teaching that said u can only marry more than one wife IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT!!. Where making sure that the educational budget is higher than going to Mecca budgets etc.
Until these happen, the development of Nigeria as a whole will not be there.
If you check, the statistics, All the poverty, sicknesses indices are very high in northern Nigeria compare to the south.
Today the GDP that made Nigeria the biggest economy in Africa, over 90% of the Non Oil sectors are controlled by southern Nigeria. Is it Nollywood, Music, creative arts, banking, services etc.
These 're what you get when everyone is allowed to think for himself and given opportunity to succeed in respective of your religious view.
Get this, if you allow a person to develop his brain during his youthful days, when difficult times come in his adulthood, he will devise a positive solution but when you give a person too much waivers during his youthful days, where by making his brain power ineffective, when he faces problem in his adulthood, he will devise negative solutions like depression, suicide bombing etc.
Since 1967, northern Nigeria has been controlling the leadership of Nigeria (directly / indirectly ), yet the region is the poorest of all the regions. Why?? leadership systems. Nigeria is a reflection of what Northern Nigeria were to be if it was a country of its own. |

[s] Hardeysolution: Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has prophetically declared that Nigeria will be great again.The Vice President stated this at the 58th Independence Day Interdenominational Church Service at National Christian Centre, Abuja.

“Nigeria, you will be exalted, you will not fall, you will excel, you will rise beyond the imagination of the world and you will be a pride to Africa and the world.
“This is the season of your exultation, Nigeria, the season of your renewal, season of your restoration.
“All that we have lost will be restored; where we have failed, we will succeed. We declared that deaths and destruction, every device of Satan have failed over Nigeria.”
Osinbajo also prayed for the family of the deceased pilot in the Nigerian Air Force jet that crashed on Friday during rehearsal for the celebration of Independence anniversary, Squadron Leader Baba Bello, and two survivors.
Prominent dignitaries at the event included: Wife of the Vice President, Dolapo Osinbajo, Mrs. Beatrice Ekwueme, wife of former Vice President, Victoria Aguyi Ironsi, wife of former Head of State, Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, former Head of State, Gen.

[s] tstx: Insulting Nigeria on Independence Day for not being like the USA or other more developed countries is like insulting your father on his birthday for not being like Dangote. Let’s all change this attitude of pessimism and hopelessness and believe that one day Nigeria will get it right”.. Below are the Top 7 Things Nigeria Has Achieved since independence – Nigeria At 58. Also you might want to read this => Nigeria @58: Here are the Top 10 Areas Nigeria Ranks Lowest in Africa
1. Best And Largest Army Currently at 57 We possess the 4th best and largest military in Africa. 2. Economy Is The Largest In Africa Yes, i know this may be a little too hard for some of you to believe, but it's the fact. Our country Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa. 3. We Are Winning The War Against Polio Thanks to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and our federal government, polio has nearly been eradicated from the country. 4. Access To Information More people in the country have access to information and thus education than ever before thanks to the rapid spread of the internet and smartphones. 5. Child Mortality Rates Are Lower Yes, child mortality rates are lower than they have ever been in Nigeria’s history. In the late 90’s, we had about 100 infant deaths per 1,000 live births but now the number has gone down to 71.20 deaths per 1,000 live births. 6. More Women Are Now Going To School This was not the case in the 70’s 80’s and 90’s. 7. The Country Is Winning The War Against Malaria Although malaria remains the leading cause of death in Nigeria, the number of deaths caused by the scourge fell from 227,645 in 1990 to 192,284 in 2015 and its now down to 120,150. 8. Democracy This is the longest episode of our democracy in our post independence history, we have had a number of episodes of democracy in our long years of military rule, over 18 years unbroken is the longest that we have experienced and I think that is a major achievement. 9. Communication Communication has improved significantly in Nigeria, and it’s now standard to be able to communicate with friends and family all over the country without problems. International communications is also no longer a problem. We now also have a large number of radio and television stations delivering myriads of programs to our people. Infact Nigeria Remains the Country With The Highest Smartphone Penetration In The World. 10. Her Citizens Nigerian citizens is one of the country’s achievements. The country has produced top level doctors, engineers, economists, teachers, lawyers, literary gurus, entrepreneurs etc who have achieved maximally both nationally and internationally.
So there you have it. Do you still think Nigeria has Achieved Nothing since post independence.. Do you still think Nigeria @ 58 is not worth celebrating?

They understand not the politics of Nigeria, they have not a single leader, no machinery in place for a possible leadership position, they don't speak in uniform voice, they have no dominant party of their own.
If they are behind politically they should have been strong economically but they are not, if they are not favoued politically they should have built a region that will be safest for investors, hell no ,all I see is jealousy and hatred for Yoruba people.
