It is not about where the former presidents hail from that matters to the Igbos rather their unalloyed romance with PDP. if not why did they refused to vote for Ojukwu under APGA or Moghalu under YPP ? Let PDP present a goat or pig as presidential candidate and APC present NOI or even their new found hero Atiku or Saraki, majority of Igbos will still queue behind the PDP's goat/pig. Didn't Atiku vie for the presidency under Action Congress? was he voted for by the Igbos? So plz shelve the talk "we voted for YarAdua, OBJ and Gej" It all about PDP and nothing more....

Shagari and abiola must be PDP members

BafanaBafana:
Northerners didn't vote for APC or PDP, they voted for Buhari. They also voted out non performing governors irrespective of party. I wonder how that translated into aligning with SE. That's why you guys are backward politically. I know several people who voted against Atiku because his deputy was Igbo. And it's not like the north hates you people. Igbos hate northerners and insult them day and night on social media. Since aboki can't respond to the insults, he has vowed never to let them have political satisfaction.

For the love of God how are the Igbo backward politically?

prior to 2015
the igbo - North west - north central - south south alliance have been producing presidents

the north east and SW were always been split

so I don't get your drift bro

oyatz:
Party democracy has been with Nigerians for long.
As we progress in the journey of democracy, so many things we never thought were possible will happen and our Democratic institutions will be stronger.

Unless there is clear cut manifesto from the party. I don't see it happening

like what do you stand for and what are you going to do for the people

Not this Strong man syndrome we have in Nigeria

DonroxyII:
Where you roll head from ... no be competition na

it's not, you were acting like you had all the facts. that I don't like.

Banter1:
North is still far better than south south, south east and west combine in terms of elections violence.

South West
Noth Central and south east are relatively peaceful

Na south south and noth East and west get wahala

KwoiZabo:
Thak You for seeing some Truth in my Statements. I want Tinubu's so called Dynasty to end not because I hate him but theres nothing like a healthy democracy. If you go to Ajeromi-Ifelodun (Ajegunle), those areas are practically slums with bad roads and waste everywhere, tomorrow people will say Lagos State has high IGR and nothing to show for it.

The area you mentioned is igbo dominated so that's your answer

DonroxyII:
Egbon, Dem never born me in 1983 oo , I was born five years later .....
I was talking about 4th republic .... Politics of 1999- till date !!!

Just Chop your loss in peace


was there any real opposition till APC came around?

oyatz:
In 1983, the late Dr Olusola Saraki fell out with the leadership of the NPN (the ruling party at the federal level) and the incumbent Gov Adamu Attah of Kwara State. He quickly endorsed the candidacy of Sen Cornelius Adebayo of the UPN who went ahead to defeat the incumbent Governor.

I was just about saying this.

Saraki is young he will bounce back, we have seen the likes of chimaroke Nnamani, orji uzokalu, bala Mohammed etc

Who people thought were technically finished in Politics make a comeback. Power is transient


Plus we are Not yet serious as a country as much as Dynasties exist worldwide. The were not bigger than the institution ie the Party.

If the Bushes, Kennedy's, Clinton's, Rockefellers

As big as they were ever go against party ideology. They were finished

The only ideology the Saraki's and Tinubu have in common is looting

What's the Difference between PDP and APC

unless we demand strong institutions we are just wasting our time

mamatwiny:
Ikukuoma and Andy Uba comes to mind.

ikukuoma should just retire from politics, this was his best chance at clinching the senate.

losing to Ifeanyi ubah is an embarrassment

aberyomi09:
Yes boss

I'm confused between this and 09 accord. The ground clearance of the Avalon looks suspect to me.

what's your take?

You made the right decision.
I've been down this road before. it's just a huge waste of time. only go with someone that matches your drive to grow, we don't have all day to be pampering or petting an Adult.

aberyomi09:
Budget 1.950m https://www.copart.com/lot/27685659

does this include clearing in Nigeria

HomoDroid:
Don't display so much ignorance friend, even God does business with the devil - go and read the Biblical book of Job! Moreover, the party ruling my dear country is not evil, regardless of whatever shortcoming it may have. Your words have a way of acting up, so be careful of what words you use! Don't just believe you are smarter than that man who became a billionaire within a short lifespan, rather, try to be humble and learn from him!

He's not emotional, The fastest way to loose an election in Anambra is to join or associate with APC

That's the just the fact
Ngige
Andy Ubah
Tony Nwonye

Are examples.

Ifeanyi's love in Nnewi and Anambra south as a whole was what made him win. People like him because of his philanthropy.

Going for that caucus meeting was foolish.

senatordave1:
Op,tafawa balewa has over 100k voters.secondly,the governor has too options.firstly,he can stall inec by going to the appeal and supreme courts to delay collation until 29th April deadline has lapsed.
Secondly,he can wait till pdp is declared and then goes to the tribunal to get an injunction restraining inec from giving bala the certificate of return.

This guy, you have a very dark mind. You need help bro

Prodigytal:
Bro, you missed the point or should I say, the point missed you. Not everyone can be a block chain engineer or a programmer. The 75k so called block engineers make in 3 days, footballers make it in 3 hours. Not everyone can play football. Nigeria's problem for everyone to become wealthy. It's for everybody to escape the extreme lower class. The background of any soceity is the middle class. If majority of Nigerians are middle class, purchasing power rises and we can consolidate on that to move into tech and ict. People in those countries cab think of bit coins because they don't have to worry about price of food. How many nigerians can afford to eat good food three times daily? Let's tackle a problem at a time and not compare ourselves with countries that solved our kindiscussion of problems 100 years ago.

Farming doesn't generate great wealth. the money is in processing and sales of farm produce.

I just hate the propaganda about Agric. We are better off using our numerical strengths for production but power generation is a major problem.

einsteine:
If agriculture is so profitable, why are entrepreneurs in foreign countries not going en masse into it?

Actually, go into agriculture before saying all this. There are way more profitable businesses than agriculture. Don't sell hype. 100 tonnes of Cocoa would require 60 Hectares of land even with improved agricultural practises and hybrid varieties. Do you know the cost of acquiring 60 hectares of land and planting enough to yield 100 tonnes? Do you know the yearly costs in harvesting and getting 100 tonnes of cocoa beans ready? At the end of the day, the profit on that 60 hectares of land might not be more than $15,000 a year. You can earn that in 75 hours as a Blockchain engineer.

There is a reason serious countries in the world leave the bulk of the agriculture to poor countries. Agriculture is yesterday's news. Good if you just want to live off the land but it would rarely bring you massive wealth. Areas to go into to get massive wealth include biotech, renewable energy, software development/artificial intelligence, and pharmacy.

By the way, I studied Agricultural Economics for my first degree, so I speak from an informed position. Don't sell hype.

As when people talk about Agric millions I feel so sad

The money is in processing and selling of farm produce not farming

Nbote:
So where Mr Jollof com stay pose for photos with her?

omo was just about to ask the same

adedehinbo:
ask that from ur empty head

You are a poster boy for why we need to devote more funds to education.

adedehinbo:
get the Bleep out of here,I repeat those pastors are thieves feeding on the gullibility of their followers while they enrich their pockets.Nigeria pastors are theives

is there a fake 80 naira note?

theoldpretender:
No it does not.

One of Obama's supporters was a terrorist back in 1970's america (a woman called Bernadette Dohrn).

Anyone can say they support leader X....MEANWHILE leader X does not know anything about them

Most white supremacists love trump though...largely because they regard him as a 'symbol of resistance' against the 'elite'.

Yes they are in his base no doubt

he's not hard on them, they need to be told you can't have such ideology in the 21st century.

That's where I fault him.

but on the other hand the democratic Party had demonized the white man.

like every problem a minority has its because the big bad white man has it out for them.

do racist exist? Yes of course

let's identify them and shame them

not blanketing all white people as racist

The move or the DNC to identify politics also contributed to the rise of the alt right trump base


imagine Simone sanders a CNN contributor saying, very soon white opinions won't matter because they would be the minority

That's just signally for conflict

hermesprogidy:
You are intelligently stupid. Asking me to prove that Trump is racist is like asking me to prove the Earth is round. I simply don't have that time.

There is something called confirmation bias.

it's one if the cognitive biases that affects the brain

it's where we look for corroborating evidence to prove what we already believe as being true.


You can't just call somebody names without proof.

show me acts of open racism and then let's condemn it together

Not bringing up all these faulty arguments, it just sets a bad precedent

theoldpretender:
Seems like the shooter is a self professed supporter of Trump...

From the Daily Mail



Too many people carry american matter for head.

Does that change anything?

We all should be held personally responsible for our actions

hermesprogidy:
I see you are seeking attention, but you don't need to type daft things for the sake of attention.

Your arguments are weak and that's putting it mildly

You are not intelligent

hermesprogidy:
That was my rebuttal. All that crap you wrote is typical FoxNews propaganda. Next!!!

You are not intelligent

hermesprogidy:
Lol. If it's European Whites, I agree but American whites are mostly Christian.

So this man is American?

hermesprogidy:
Stop watching Fox News.

I'll take it that you don't have any rebuttal?

hermesprogidy:
Stop watching Fox News.

Provide a rebuttal or keep quiet

theoldpretender:
Right wing terrorists are different from Christian terrorists.

1.Right wing terrorists usually fight for a 'separate all white homeland' or 'to protect the white race from contamination'

2.Are neo-pagan (chiefly Odinists...see Norse religion, and I should add most practitioners of pagan European religon are not racists) or atheists, rarely Chirstian(Many of them hate christianity, it's a weak Jewish religion to them)_

3.Usually claim to love Adolf Hitler and Nazi ideology. Can quote Mein Kampf backwards and forward

4.Hate Jews, Muslims and blacks. Usually Jews.

kill them with facts

but all them hang themselves first. it's sweeter that way
