ladman: seun you are right we need people like that but can he win election considering the illiteracy and poverty rate in nigeria ?people always sell their future for a five hundred naira note.
then he better find 500 times number of majority vote or substitute
Stop calling collective economy socialism. A self control and powerful society doesn't encourage a free meal such as socialism. An art and craft economcy is no welfare state.
it's either socialism or capitalism or slavery choose one Arts and crafts is capitalism
KingSango: I am an Ibeji, I know things about prosperity that you have never been taught.
Please explain
I love nice things. Trust me, Capitalism, Communism and Socialism are Whitemen's terms.
Their terms But reality whatever you call them
Africa is suffering economically because you have adopted what doesn't fit you.
Agreed for democracy But capitalism is capitalis Socialism is socialism
You purchase their old clothes instead of making your own, which is way cheaper.
Due to socialism
All those clothes are used by other humans who did God knows what while wearing them, its negative energy. Economics is about energy distribution simply put.
Agreed
I live in a Capitalist society and we have poor people here in abundance.
Mostly their fault
Reconstructing an ancient African trade economy where no one would be without food and a skill to earn money. Businessmen will still get rich, in fact even more richer.
I have the formula.
Ase
Love Sango
still waiting for your formula that will beat human nature of greed survival and self-interest
ajoguegbe: So if you interview most Igbos, they actually believe these things happen because they are the 5% 1. In Appointments. Most political appointment by Buhari and his APC government has been concentrated on the North. Even after a public condemnation where they released names of "all' their appointments to prove no section is being marginalized. A counter investigation showed that they hid some names in their list
no law was broken They didn't support they don't deserve They do have their ministers according to constitution Views jury whining cos they didn't get 'juicy' posts where Tey can loot not actually fix anything
2. In Victimization Igbos believe Buhari is using the tools of government like the army and EFCC to victimize their people. Reno Omokiri captured it well when he said EFCC could not arrest maina and co but were very swift in arresting Innoson MD same way they arrested Ifeanyi Uba. Another area that comes to mind is the Arewa vs Ipob issue, Some Arewa Youths called for genocide and no arrest was made even after El rufai ordered their arrest but the military invaded nnamdi Kanus house for asking for seccession. Fulani herds men have murdered thousands but are not declared terrorist instead a special fund will be allocated to fight them but IPOB never killed anyone but were declared terrorists
Did they commit the offence or not They weren't victimised at random They shouldn't disturb govt when they know they have skeletons
3. In Favoritism Since Buhari came to power all efforts has been concentrated in the North. I think it was the World Bank president or so that said Buhari asked him to focus all development effort on the North East. Buhari has also wasted billions looking for oil in the North and recently demanded for 1 Billion dollars to fight Boko Haram-all northern problem. Imagine what half that amount would do to empower entrepreneurs in the South
Same with point 1 Only ministerial and civil service require federal character
4. In Commerce Under Buhari many imported goods are banned under the pretext to promote locally made goods. Importation in Nigeria is done mainly by the Igbos. Also due to the dollar issues many Nigerians studying abroad could no longer afford the fees neither did the federal government come to their aid.
Why can't they invest in manufacturing like dangote instead of exporting our nation's birthright for mess of dollars
5. In almost every opportunity It seems to most Igbos that Buhari uses every means to punish them. Last December 2016 there was fuel scarcity, this December 2017 another major scarcity. This is a period most Igbos travel to the east for Christmas. All these moves are always hidden under one reason or the other
If they like their village so much they should stay there What stops them from importingfuel and selling at loss abi fuel companies in east are northerners?
Do you think there are other areas not covered? Share your views
nothing is covered You're just fanning flames of discord
KingSango: Capitalism and Socialism work for Northern imperialist nations that require imports to supplement their economies.
normal
This is would be America and NATO nations, who imported slaves and natural resources from Africa. Almost every valuable natural resources known to man can be found in abundance in Africa. By Africa adopting a capitalist economy it is eating itself, literally. How you Africa is importing any product from China or anywhere else. This is how come your Naira is hyperinflated compared to American and Chinese currencies. This is what I mean by eating itself. You are literally just paying for products whose natural resources come from Africa in the first place.
All Economy Theory is superficial and an economy can be based purely upon peanuts as currency. Might not work out long but you get the picture.
I assume you're a practising economist but empirical evidence shows that capitalism create wealth while socialism simply destroys it
Arts and crafts economies are what the ancient West Africans had not Capitalism. Food was never a concern in ancient kingdoms because many crowns had their own people farming the land. Such as Bunyoro Kitara, an Empire in East Africa had government farms. I do believe that Oyo still has government farms. Last I checked Oyo Empire in Oyo Town had such farms and the state of Oyo has state farming. Most ancient African kingdoms that prospered greatly used food for currency. This way their gold was stored up. If Nigerians adopted food for currency in its 36 states that would give ordinary Nigerians a chance to save their Naira and buy the arts and crafts, which would create livelihoods for all its citizenry. This is my plan but I can't get into details online because its apart of a proposal.
Ase
we are not farming farmers getting old and very inefficient due to tiny acreages with no tractors
Love Sango
I hope your theories pan out since only capitalism works
Rossikki: Bunch of ignorant, dumb, pampered fools. To them, "Africa" is just one single country defined by poverty and deprivation. Most of them cannot name 4 out of the 55 countries in Africa. Yet they will open their demonic lips to tell you 'everything' about "Africa".
Epiphany: *passing by the thread and see this. Just remembered too that the same thing was said about Obama - 'why does he not start as a governor? He is running for President - and he is even black. He must be a joker'*
I used to think that Utomi cannot win the election in Naija but i guess that after someone like Yar'Adua and PDP, people will be so tired of the old antics that they will vote for a 'fresher'. If PDP or any party tries to rig the elections, then people will really protest.
I may be dreaming, but i am enjoying the dream!
Obama was a state senator first then federal senator he didn't just become president
KingSango: Hmmm...grasping ? I would rather be an eunuch than be a sodomite pedophile.
I focus upon Sodomy because its a rising demonism here in the U.S unlike Nigeria where you have laws that keep homosexuals in check. Homosexuals are running European nations and many Africans in Diaspora are helping the Whites with their evil plans to spread homosexuality. Its really awful.
politics the game continues
Arts and Crafts aren't limited to entertainment.
yes it is
Besides, I have devised an economic system that incorporates everything in the society not just farming and factories.
let's hear it
Farming and factories have their limitations.
every man made thing has limitations
When you increase food production fuel prices will go up.
so does efficiency nothing goes for nothing we need tractors fertiliser and irrigation but mostly tractors
You can't tug at the web and not have the whole web move. Might as well restructure the whole web that get entangled in a mess.
how do you restructure the web only capitalism works
KingSango: Slow down. I love women. I live pure. No offense given, no offense taken.
Arts are limited to what the possibilities you gave as crafts aren't just for rich societies. And who says Nigeria isn't a rich society? Nigeria has a rich cultural heritage and rich arts and crafts history.
OK OK so I was grasping at straws on that one but seriously ppl need full bellies before they will appreciate entertainment.
Ehiscotch: He is all too powerful, for now. He was nearly removed but he rigged his way up and even when a fresh election was conducted, many had already lost hope in the APC.
who gave him the power (votes) no be our ppl? nearly is not good enough better candidates need to rise up and challenge him
oooduancalmdown: There is nothing bad in having several ethnic groups in a country, but when it is excessive, then that is when it become a problem. Like they say, too much of everything is bad. For a ethnically diverse country to thrive, there must be just one single majority ethnic group in it.
Excessive ethnic diversity make people unpatriotic.
lie lots of tribes in yankee
Unpatriotism make people corrupt.
nope socialism does
Corruption brings underdevelopment
see above
Underdevelopment breeds poverty.
yes... ish
Poverty breeds crime.
correlates classism breeds jealousy and covetousness hence crime
The root of Nigeria's problem is not bad leadership, but ethnic differences.
it's a lie it's leadership when AWO was developing SW it forced the other regions to try to keep up
You can only kill a tree by removing its root.
another lie you can remove leaves block sun or deprive it of water poison also
The leaders were raised in the same society as you and I. There is no way tribalism will end in Nigeria .
nope
This country has three major ethnic groups Each of these group has its own goal, culture, and way of life.
everybody wants good infrastructure and social services no matter the tribe
There is nothing like unity in diversity. It does not make any sense.
visit America
We are not patriotic to Nigeria but to our own ethnic group.
so what by helping your tribe you help the country, the continent the world
Majority of European countries are split along along ethnic lines for a reason. It is to solve these problems.
so are we 36 states 774 local govt abi your governor is a Hausa man?
The Scandinavian etynic group like Danish, Icelandic, swedes, Norwegians , and Finns are apart for a reason. The Italians, French, German cannot be under the same roof. Same for Asian Japanese and Koreans. Countries don't develop with prayer and fasting.
nope
Countries don't develop by miracle.
yeah they can but not by ungodly ppl
They develop with the right system. Have a lovely day
countries develop with capitalism (entrepreneurs) that's the only system that works laziness is worrying us not tribalism
horsepower101: That is not his job. Plus if he tries to lead a protest, most of you guys will politicize and tribalize it. To each his own.
so? you think development is easy. it's easy to type on Nairaland but not to actually fix and yet you blame leaders who are just as less lazy than you. at least they applied for the job for their own benefit.
if you're not willing to put in the work then you don't deserve a better naija
Ehiscotch: Listen (read), the only good thing about Mark is his "impositioning" of candidates and godfatherism has helped idoma people get a piece of the National cake. Check, most federal appointments favour the idomas than the tivs but the tivs are better off locally than idomas. e. g Former Minister of interior (and David Mark's puppet) Abah Moro.
KingSango: Laughing, all warnings are not doom sayings but simple cautions, yellow lights, means to slow down upon spending in this case and capital invest.
I wasn't mocking just saying that the system resets every generation and wealth redistributed if America stops consuming someone else will
I have told you again and again what is coming. I have warned you and I pray that the APC has been listening. I pray that Buhari's government has been listening. This new tax reform is a weapon disguised a savior of America's flailing economy. What caused America to sway? The Rise of Africa along with the Southeast Pacific, which includes all of Southeast Asia's market where the Chinese have taken over. America's huge empire can not survive on rations, that is what tax cuts are, they cut the funds for vital government services while the bills remain the same. In other words, the cost of services or to do business, to re-supply does not reform. America is in bad economic shape and so is Europe who Brit just exited from the European Union and is suffering a migrant crisis. The West is crumbling, it can not win a war with North Korea backed militarily by Russia and China. America's massive aircraft carrier fleet is cancelled out by the countless islands and land locations where Russia and Chinese have military airstrips that can launch air raids against America fleets with ease using manless drones with no risk of life loss. Plus the Chinese have been building numerous artificial islands for that very same purpose. The writing on the wall for the Western economy has begun. This is a last ditch effort to deliberately implode their economy as predicted in the Simpson Cartoon which accurately predicted the election of Donald Trump. The Trump-het is blowing loudly for Nigeria to prepare itself, its citizenry and government, traditional and culture leaders must come up with innovative economic systems that would replace the loss of trade and business resulting from economic fall out from America. This is a very serious threat to the economic future of Nigeria who has just recently stabilized itself after border agents like Boko Haram,, whose violence set its society into a spiral, driven out of Nigeria by the Nigerian army. Coming off the heals of a recession Nigeria must adapt gradually to this new event. Believe American tax reform will drastically affect Nigeria in the long run although it seems far away from everyday Nigerian issues its really just takes a huge increase in import prices from America that would put a serious pinch on economic development instituted by the APC and other Nigerian political parties. Time to seriously consider restructuring.
Ehiscotch: I wonder why David Mark has not been arrested.
He has done little or nothing other than imposing candidates on Idoma people. Most of the political offices are held by his brothers or relatives.
I laugh when I hear him condemn impunity.
This man has zero to offer. A walk around his constituency and you'd be shocked how a Senate president for years hasn't attracted something to his constituency .
what are you talking.
Shebi he shared rice and they collected it.
and he satisfied their craving to have idoma man in office whether he delivers or not
Emyogalanya: AGREE ON WHAT? THAT IGBO SHOULD REMAIN IN NIGERIA AS SLAVES? OR WHAT ? OR THAT THEY SHOULD AGREE THAT THE NORTH MUST BE STOPPED FROM USING WEST AS STOOGE
oooduancalmdown: By 2030-which is 13 years time, Nigeria will not change from its present state. Education system will still be in deplorable state. Health care will be terrible. Road will still be bad. Electricity would be erratic. There will still be fuel scarcity problems. Health care workers, lecturers and other federal government workers would still have to go on strike before their government listen to their cries. Can somebody refute all what I wrote? A child born today will 13 years by 2030. He will become a teenager. Would it be right for a normal child to grow up in such environment?
then change the environment instead of prophesying doom and gloom
ogashman: I wonder why people re already sponsoring a boycott gtb campaign.the saga is yet to be resolved by the supreme court n yet u guys ve passed judgement on behalf of the court.
it wud ve been a different case if the supreme court had mandated gtb to pay Mr innoson and they declined. funny how people derive pleasure in bringing others down.
it might be surprising that those calling for the boycotting of gtb do not even know the minutest details of this case.
next time they use diplomacy to solve problem instead of abusing power
