It's obvious the slave in us is still strong. In fact, some of us still beg to be enslaved.

Some of u open ur nairaland site and allow very thick stupidity to ooze out. Go and ask Muhammad Ali (RIP) why he threw his first Olympic Gold Medal into the sea. It was a restaurant owned by a white man in a white man's land. Here, a 'white man' comes to ur land, still refuses to serve u in ur own land and all u do is make up excuses for them.
Slavery is still in you.

he threw his medal cos he stupidly thought that being an entertainer Will make him equal to the white man. We fly their planes, we watch their TV, see by their light, ride their vehicles use their drugs, even buy their toothpick. All you do is entertain on the stage, on the field, just as the slaves sambos did and yet you wonder why the white man doesn't respect or fear you?
Is it tie ghettos or the Caribbean or Africa, where has tie black man done well ar a race.
It's not by chest pounding or throwing insults, everybody knows you're best av that.
What else are you bringing to the table.?

Ladycloud:
lol.. Noo my dear... The guy is just tackling me upandown...

which guy, who him, Wey dem

bizgenius1:
Nice video

when they deport his asss na in him eye go clear. Wetin he find go dia country if his was not messed up

Horus:
So just because they were robbed (maybe) you believe that they have the right to segregate?

is it until they start poisoning your food bfor you get it that you cannot force somebody to like or respect you. You can't even produce toothpicks. That's why the rest of the world treats us tie way they do. Not because of skin colour

Qualer:
is it that you are quite stupid or what?

simple qsn. Instead of answering, insult. Who sounds stupid between two of you?

RoseDearestLove:
The truth. Very well spoken.
This is our country and we ought to be treated with utmost dignity and once again dignity. A healthy dose of it.

do you behave with dignity or respect?
You can't even produce toothpicks.

delishpot:
Does the club stop people based on race? Does Ferrari stop people based on race? Do they syop people based on the fact that they can not read or write? If NO, then you need to go rethink and come back with a better excuse as to why you love to be treated like a second class citizen in your own land

no be una carry go wia dem go treat una like second class.?
They did not impose ''slavery ''
It is you that went where you are not invited.
Na una de branch strange ppl wedding ba .
And yet you wonder why ppl want to screen you?

thomasthomas:
yes, I agree but it will take a very long time as far as farming is concerned. We need large scale farmer. From 1000 hectres up...

not really. Simply double peasant farmers productivity with fertiliser, Mech and or irrigation. There's a hundred million of them

Shewunoshewa:
Don't be a stubborn goat!
It's evident that you struggled to counter my points.

How have I struggled.
You're the One Who cannot defend your ideology
I gave you examples
You threw insults
Who do you think readers Will think is struggling


The fact remains that for a culturally and religiously diverse country as ours, true federalism is what we must practice if we must be one country.


What is true federalism. So there is China made federalism Abi.



It's the reason the colonialists left us with the system when they were leaving.

No they left us with plenty of time bombs which are all going off as planned

True federalism has worked before and it will work again.

Federalism works (whether true or fake)
So does dictatorship, military rule,presidential and monarchy.
It's the leaders that make it work not a piece of paper.


Any system would have worked for us if we were all one tribe.
Like they were one tribe in feudal Japan.
Samurai, shogun, Ronin mean anything to you?


Unfortunately, we are not and we are too suspicious of each other.

Ah finally we agree on some basic realities
I am not suspicious of Chuks Mohammed or edIdiong. We are all brothers.

I am however suspicious of politician types who use mass psychology (another ugly reality and fact of life) and the simpletons Who fall for it.


The checks and balances in this system will always be compromised by religion and ethnicity.

the checks and balances are comprised by lack of integrity and laziness of a ppl.

Addendum
Your fada is the stubborn goat
Learn to talk to ppl in public

Ladycloud:
how can you be so sure I use a toothpick

chei wetin na, you be lawyer?

MisterGrace:
Less talk... much action.

less votes during election. In politics you must blow your own trumpet cos no one will blow it for you

Ikwokrikwo:
We can now see why the north doesn't want to let go of Niger delta oil, even their so called agriculture is HEAVILY dependent on oil money.

Building and maintenance of irrigation dams - oil money.
Provision of subsidised fertilizers - oil money.
Provision of machineries - oil money.
Distribution of improved seedlings - oil money.
Financial grants and loans to farmers - oil money.

The north will just be another Senegal or Niger republic without oil money to sustain its agriculture

and what have y'all built with your own oil money allocation.?
Private jets and Dubai homes ko?

fulanimafia:
We are all one and those divisions are only visible to outsiders, and the greedy ones/saboteurs amongst us are in the minority. Furthermore, I as a northerner consider myself one with a Yoruba man politically (not just within the APC), so Kwara being Yoruba is not an issue.

you need to hear vehemently adamawa and other middle beltppl defend their identity when we call them Hausa. They SPEAK Hausa, they are not Hausa.

Of course we are one, but the reality is that titles can be used to sway ppl sentiment.
Just like some ppl can kill to defend football club.
Tis human nature to seek out identity

Shewunoshewa:
First, South Sudan got independence not resource control. After, the common enemy was gone, the tribes turned on each other.

Which is what will happen in Nigeria
I have seen inter street fighting over councillorship fa


Having said that, didnt the US also fight a civil war shortly after independence. Did it stop them from being a great nation eventually?

They would have been a great country even with dictatorship in place. They are serious ppl


Have you seen the end of South Sudan?

So you want to waste another couple decades like South Sudan ba


Are you a loon@tic?

Are you an slowpoke


What of countries that are successfully practising true federalism? Do they have 2 heads?

What of the countries that are successfully practising unitary system, also multi ethnic, multi religious.
What of those practicing monarchy.?
What of those that developed under dictatorship?
Military rule?
If you're serious it doesn't matter which system of govt, you will succeed.
And if your ineffectual it doesn't matter if heaven comes down, you will mess it up


Dont you know that true federalism provides many checks and balances for a highly diverse country like ours? Checks that dont exist and cant be enforced in this current system?

I challenge you to name 3 checks and balances that are not present in our system.

NigerDeltan:
What is diz one saying? SMH

that Jona was an ineffectual buffoon and your fada is ''dis one ''

Ladycloud:
shebi, u were there when I bought the toothpick

not stopping you on race.
Stopping you on behavior.
On certain criteria.
Abi you fit just enter barracks anyhow.
Or can stranger enter your house without permission?

oluwafreshkid:
Just cos you want to eat beef... call the cow Uncle Cow.

no be una wan chop ponmo by force. We ignored them, na una wan enter dia establishment by force. Who de call cow brodaa by their actions

geni340:
nope, yy

just feeling the girl.wondering why guys haven't scooped you up

thomasthomas:
yes, I agree but it will take a very long time as far as farming is concerned. We need large scale farmer. From 1000 hectres up...

then gada 1000 farmer investors. First bank has over a million shareholders getting peanuts from their investment. I won't talk about other banks and insurance companies. All this 12 kobo dividend on 70 naira investment when they can double their money in Agric.

Imagine Catholic church coops investing in farms.
Teacher coops
Civil servant coops
Police
Army
Nlc
Coca Cola, Nnpc staff coops
Start somewhere
Grow

Iluvsweetsex:

na true na. Walking about with flashing errybody your ponyon .commando for that matter. Harsh

fulanimafia:
Who is marginalized? Those that have been heading the legislature and are most represented in the Armed Forces? The political north is impenetrable but don't take my word for it.

Good luck with trying

hmm benue and Niger are not the only members o. Plateau adamawa Tarawa kogi NASArawa nko. We in kwara are Yoruba.it's only saraki that are claiming Fulani.

Iluvsweetsex:
I love wearing trousers and I don't put on pants unless during my period lol. I was going out in a hurry and I 4got to zip up, a guy stopped me and told me my zip was opened. I was like, many ppl would ve seen enough

chei see gobe

fulanimafia:
The middle belt is an illusion and mostly a geographical delineation. There is only one political north.

that illusion can be used strategically. Just remind MB that they are marginalised and one political north premise goes up in smoke.

geni340:
Talk about an awkward moment!!
We've all faced embarrasing situations bt some are really disgraceful...hias mine...
went to a get together party-sort of, & after all d shindig, we ladies tidied up d place and yes, we swept. bt luck really frowned on me cuz when i held my broom & bent to sweep, i forgot my manners and didnt hold d upper part of my dress 2gether. and one of my boobs almost popped awt..
ladies lets hear urs!!

..others!!

you married?

fulanimafia:
That will never happen. Not under this administration, not under any APC or PDP government, not if the entire Niger Delta is flooded with oil from blown pipelines, not if the scAvengers blow up the entire region.

Massive development and clean-up of the Niger Delta? Certainly. Weakening the Presidency and reducing the power at the centre? Never.

Mark my word.

what if they bribe some middle belt(6 states) to vote for them.
You know ALL politicians ALL are hungry bastards willing to sell their left nut or even their children for money

Agimor:
Paradventure Buhari succumb to pressure and true fedralism is put into play no politician would be interested in the central politicis especially that of the Oil producing state. They would prefer to contest within the confines of the state than going federal.

that is not federalism. That is revenue allocation. Less at federal more at state and local.
But still won't develop Nigeria
Just more looting

TPAND:
I totally agree, let states control their resources. This is also strategic to the development of the Niger Delta, if their individual state government are wise, can promulgate policies that would Favour the people and bring employment to her people.

they already control their resources

thomasthomas:
It's sad! People that have money to invest in agriculture prefer it to liein their accounts while they cry for lack of food!

People with money need to tap into that huge market!

don't you have money?
We all have money.
Just not as much as them
We just need to pool it
And invest
Start small
Scale up
Hammer
Relax more for us
