ProfAmaben:
Nigeria as a nation is finished, no thanks to the northerners that drained the country of it's entire resources during the military era. They have made sure that the country Nigeria would always be a laughing stock and they do this by always placing mediocrities in the public service and government offices.

As if that wasn't enough, they invented Boko Haram as a means of siphoning our Oyel money from the south. These northerners can destroy Switzerland or USA in a week if given the opportunity to govern such strong systems.

They keep breeding like rabbits just to keep winning elections since your democracy is based on numbers and not ability. The electoral college system of the US should be implemented here ASAP or better still, let's divide.

is your Governor a northerner?
Your senator nko
Rep?
Minister?
Lga chairman?

You might not agree, but something great is happening across Africa, a big Revolution.

Nothing is stopping this and it's very close.. it's as close as March 2021.

Light vs Darkness

they said this to in 1960

Football na blood money wey dey legal

After football na politics.



Yes but it requires a startup capital. Now, tell how much money has Messi or your current crop of politicians invested to get such massive pay?

they 8nvested the greatest asset of all,time

LilMissFavvy:
WTF! For the sake of his children, he should have left some money for his wife.

do you know how much Manhattan apartments for for?

DaddyRochie1642:
If this really happened,.... then that maid should prepare herself for series of "Assassination Attempts", because that wife won't allow that money and company to go to the "Maid" just like that .

still won't go to her that money is gone forever

michlins:
you mean those little imps get mind to be racists

no be you de call fellow human being imp?

AMvanquish:
Another shithole country. After so many years of oppression & house arrest, you would think Aung San Suu Kyi would know better. But that lady fall hand big time, she now became the oppressor.

All these noise we like making, give someone small power and see their behaviour change.

very stupid woman indeed. Just wasted all her goidwill

Ihatemumu:
That's if Nigeria hasn't been divided into various countries by 2023.

no division till oil and then gas which is 100 times the oil finish

Brendaniel:


you are right, rigging is done by almost parties in Nigeria, however when you talk about court processes in Nigeria, just forget it, between 2019 and 2020 after the elections, ICPC uncovered 9.4 billion naira bribe in the judiciary of which most were for election cases, so tell how would you rely on court judgements, well I'm not saying there is any party that is clean and that's the reason why I'm against this style of governance in Nigeria , I think it only breeds corruption...

like he said, who says the whole 9.4 was from one party. In politics, money talks so whoever spends the most usually wins

Brendaniel:
Last year, I was telling my brother that APC is a takeaway party, I told him that APC was only designed to overthrow the then ruling party and hand power over to the north, that even in 2019 they wouldn't have won the election without rigging, the problem now is some people are trying to wash that takeaway to use it again which it wasn't designed for...



That's the problem with some people in this country, you criticize a political party then you must be in the opposition party, I have never supported PDP, I was a heavy critic of J

Yes you are
By default
You're either for or against
There is no sitting on the fence
Saying you criticise both is just saying you're a confused flip flopper.
Pick a side

onathan, to me democratic type of governance is not working for us here,

Yes it is
We're just not using it as instructed

it is like a scam to the citizens, if after over 20 years the country keeps getting poorer, then what is the justification for the democracy

Democracy job is not to get rich
It's to allow you choose your leaders by popularity

, and if you come here to tell me that there is freedom from the military then why is there still police and military brutality going on everyday, the question I ask is what really changed? the major thing that changed was increase in poverty and insecurity...

you get change of govt every 4 yrs
With military you just be looking like fowl

Rugaria:


2 things that are fatally wrong with your submission above:

1) Igbos in the south east are not the ones pushing away Igbos from other areas! On the contrary, Igbos from other areas, especially the fulani invented "south south" are the ones fiercely clamouring for a separate identity! The only time you see Igbos from the south south speak up about how they're being pushed away from their so-called Igbo heritage is during times like this..This forum is littered with so many examples of this! We have threads here where for many pages, it was a tug of war as some BROTHERS from mainly Rivers State and Delta State unleashed all sorts of diatribes on the igbo, simply because in the heat of the political persecution going on against the igboman at the moment, it looks convenient for folks to claim a new identity! That in my opinion is evil and should be condemned! Essentially, your advice should go to the Igbos in other regions to man up, actively identify with their kind in the hinterlands and boldily move forward to possess their possessions!

It is what it is

2) You also get it wrong when you talk of creating a "world class igbo economy" within Nigeria, without the Igbos not being interested in the leadership positions/decisions in Nigeria. That can't work my brother! Folks easily forget that politics come first before the economics. You can't get the right economic policies you need to create a versatile economy, if your traducer is in charge of making political decisions over your head on a daily basis!

Not necessarily
Awo was not in charge but he developed his region and would've continued if he hadn't run for prime minister.
We have bad leaders, this has not stopped individuals from thriving so why not communities?

To even create an export oriented economy for instance, you need to get the macro/micro economic policies right! The CBN for instance, needs to get the fiscal and monetary policies right!

Any farmer waiting for rain before he plants will starve to death
Start and adjust on the fly
Stop waiting till every is perfect

Otherwise the final prices of your goods will struggle against the prices of similar goods from other competing economies.

Cbn will not change policy daily, so you can adjust for said policies
And those policies don't affect emerging economies as highly serious competing economies

We still de level minus 1000
Fiscal policy is for ppl dragging plus 999 levels of competition and need slight advantages.
We still importing egusi and jollof rice not to talk of toothpick and pencil

. That's just one single consequence of having the CBN governor making policies that run contrary to your interest! Who appoints the CBN governor? It's the president! So how can you create an economy that's competitive enough, if you have a hate filled president appointing officers who will make policies that will kill your initiatives?

Bribe the officers
Corruption works both ways

High exchange rate means costly prices for raw materials to be imported. It means costly imported machinery since we import most, it means highly costly remuneration policies for foreign expats who might be needed to help with setting up some manufacturing processes.., the list is endless.

No it doesn't
It means you just have many zeroes behind prices(nominal value)
But value(real value) remains the same
Just work with stable currency

. We haven't even gone to policies related to setting up the basic infastructures needed to fast track the course of rapid industrialization such as power projects, rail ways, gas distribution, roads, ports, soft loans to SMEs etc... You need to have the right policies at the center to make this happen! Look at how Obasanjo turned Ottah into a manufacturing hub with the gas line biuld up.., look at how Buhari is doing the same in Kaduna. How can any eastern city compete with those cities if policy makers deliberately starved the eastern cities of such foundamental structural investments?

obasanjo did not do anything o
Those were private sector investments
Is aba not thriving?
Is south east not member of PDP? They had 16 years to implement policies which apply to all by the way.
Are we not all in the darkness together with 2GW OUT of installed capacity of 7GW instead of 1 to 200GW?

EASTERN ports exist but easterners refuse to allow then to function

Do they not have governors and senators and reps and local govt chairmen and ministers and board appointees?

A market in aba just installed a 150MW generator to boost productivity under Buhari regime so no I don't agree that you only develop when you're the president.

MightySparrow:
Kaduna Ezeogu, Ebele Jonathan, Michael Obasanjo, Rotimi Amaech are Igbo.

Tinubu Tochi, Igbo man, 2023!

which wan be Michael obasanjo again

Sugar.....Research.....in Kwara?

where should it have been?

ArrewaDrugGang:
Lol. This dubious federal government fooling themselves in many ways. What is the essence of a sugar research institute when,

1. Nigeria in not a major producers of sugar,

It should

[/b]

2. Is not a exporter.

We should reduce imports ($1bn annually)

[quote
3. Sugar production economics is complex and Nigeria holds no chance to become a sugar market is anyway.

How?

Or is it because dangote and few other holds sway to the monopoly of importing sugar they think Nigeria has any thing to do with it??

Why not open research institute for staple foods like cassava, Guinea corn, yam, etc.

We already have

Failed corrupt government

to you

Gondonu:
Old brigade of politicians.So they are telling us that they are not sensitive to the religious inclination of Nigeria just as El Rufai did in Kaduna?

is it their fault that there is no Christian politician with the same clout? All the Christian leaders just loot for thselves ,they never have any ambition beyond whatever crumbs they're able to corner

Odoogu:
it's obvious the problems of this country in this democracy era is fundamental.
The local govt is very essential, it's what births effective development and growth. there is a popular saying that 'you grow from the bottom to the top' but in my country, the reverse is the case.
Credible and good leadership also emanates from the local govt. but that can't be achieved if governors only install those loyal to them and not the people.

amend the 1999 constitution pls, let the LG be autonomous and let INEC alone conduct their elections.

how many people here have ever participated in a LG election b4? cos I haven't been aware of any!

are you a party member?
Of you are you will know when election holds
Who will amend it. Ruling parties will not.
So try and win governorship or presidency
Oh and BTW
No govt is essential to growth and development
Only private sector is
Govt is jus a parasite that adds no value instead takes away from

tutudesz:
whether APC or PDP or any party in control of a state hardly lose LG election.

cos they re popular

Rhapsodia:
Okay

Who still takes LG Elections seriously

The money used for those Elections should be used to create job opportunities for the youths...

The Governors should just appoint people.....is that not what there are even doing....

Democracy is really expensive

Good soup
Na money kill am
You cannot compare Corolla and buggati o

Esseite:
Nigeria... A country that cheats itself..

The leaders steal like their lives depend on it, even down to noodle palliative, yet still the world poverty capital.

Trust the online urchins and minions to tell you Buhari is the next best thing after sliced bread despite seeing themselves being looted to their 3rd generation..

Despite the padding, one would think the country ought to have the best rail network in Africa, but would surprise you to know that some of its regions still have no rail access at such exorbitant amount while the country wallows in deep deep debt.

man must wack.hebu you were enjoying when pdp was looting ? Or you think it will only be you chopping Everytime? Turn by turn

Jollylolly:
Make una go sit down abeg... Tinubu should not contest but instead support PYO come 2023...if he want to stay relevant for more years in Nigerian political sphere... Hes a kingmaker and should not try contesting.

kingmaker in his 70s?
This is his last chance
Who kingmaker epp

nazicartel:
Is there something different or something bad the Igbos did?... Because since I started being steady here, I have seen many people countering our Presidencial ambition. Is there anything bad if an Igbo man vies for the seat?.... Besides your username, sounds somehow and insulting too

they do not make political friends. You need popularity to win not just zoning

blackpanda:
What do u now want us to do U are the one that dressed inappropriate knowing fully well u are going to a govt establishment, not the mall or shopping complex. Na u still carry yourself come social media to cry. Oga abeg park well

DEfine appropriate

pocohantas:


It is not their fault that they are in their 20s, but they should stop calling every lady who desires marriage DESPERATE.

When these guys are ready, any girl who isn’t ready is not DESPERATE, she is an olosho that wants to fck around in her youth.

Any girl that is READY, is the chosen one after so many witches he dated.

Men want women to be ready when they (MEN) are ready. Women should learn to be honest schemers.

desperate desire is desperate
Ducking around is oloshoIsm
She was chosen
Should men want women when they are not ready?

pocohantas:


I can bet all these guys forming their girls were desperate are in their 20s.

There is really no desperate woman, there is a woman dating a man who is not READY!

Let these guys get to 33, their tone will change. Na today we start to see them.

us it now their fault that they are in their 20s
