JosephXavier: Let's be critical in our our approach to this
Women are asking for equality in everything and are asking for an advantage at the same time
You can't be a feminist agitating for level play ground and still asking for 35% seats to be allocated to you because that would be unfair and mischievous
In my own humble opinion, I think they should participate in politics more often and not sit back and wait to be appointed into political positions
A woman I respect so much is Sen Mrs Ekwuniife from Anambra central.
She have contested and shown that she can represent and is now a two time Senator in Anambra central that has the most number of strong politicians like Chris Ngige, Peter Obi, Sen. Vincent Umeh and the rest
Most if these people protesting don't even have a Voter's card and are not registered to any political party, but you would like to win elections and occupy political appointments
You can't reap where you did not sow
Nobody is stopping them from buying tickets, declaring there interest and campaigning
It's a fair challenge so don't be looking for an advantage
If one digs deep into the protest he might find that even that staged protest by the so called Abuja women was idealised and sponsored by a man. What on Earth can women in Nigeria do right if not shouting around and following their miscalculated emotions?
zenensky: Too many old men in our National Assembly, they don't care about women rights there with their 1960s way of thinking.
You have fish brain dear Western wannabe. The world is better off with equity for both genders not favouritism for women. What makes you think that it is cool to reserve some elective positions for women just because they are women? Nonsense, the people are wise. If a woman stands out people will vote her against a man. The case of Uche ekwunife and Victor ume proves it. Most women are incapable but greedy and they want to make national legislature another August meeting. It won't work.
FreeStuffsNG: Iyen na nice but please reject HE Atiku and those who will elevate tribe over competence and vote for experience and competence.
Nigeria deserves a brilliant visionary leader who is an experienced public administrator and Patriot to the core. Asiwaju Tinubu is by far the best and if you truly want competence,I present to you Asiwaju Tinubu.
Asiwaju Tinubu is a brilliant visionary leader with the wealth of experience , education, sagacity, mental and physical strength, local and international clout and temperament to lead Nigeria to greater heights.
Ceenachi: US UN NATO & EU have made: 14,500 dead in Libya 165,000 dead in Afghanistan including children 224,000 dead in Syria 1,200,000 dead in Iraq It didn't shock anyone in the West. None of these countries/organizations have been sanctioned. Does US UN NATO & EU has a moral grounds to rebuke Russia?
Western media will not tell you that Ukraine has been forcing Luhansk and Donetsk regions to be part of it, in spite of vast majority of the people choosing to be independent via a referendum. What they want you to believe is that Vladimir Putin is bullying innocent Ukraine for pleasure.
Western media will not tell you that trampling on Ukraine's sovereignty is not Moscow Kremlin's main aim but survival against US-led NATO's encroachment, with the insistence on admitting Ukraine into NATO after allowing other Eastern European countries: Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia to join.
Western media want you to believe that the West is always right while Russia and China are the perpetual bad guys.
Sensational talk as usual. When it comes to Nigerian case your button will function differently.
OneCorner: That’s why presidency is not about being popular or young, it takes experience Man is just using his citizens as pepper soup to gain public sympathy... I have to blame the Ukrainians in some way for electing a former comedian and actor as president, now he thinks everything is about acting and making people laugh
jcross19: you want peace to reign but the EU and america are sending hundreds of millions of euros to Ukraine to get weapons and fight! Is that how to make peace? Huh even the western wants Ukraine to fight so that they can penetrate Russia!! The world leaders are just bloodsuckers pretending to be peace lovers...
You are very dumb. So peace is meant to be enjoyed by dead people abi? Russia invaded a country without provocation and you expect them and their allies to fold their hands and die for peace. Sorry for your brain.
Watch that Putin's speech and see a real and honest person speaking without twisting his tongue. Not those sensational Hollywood speeches of American presidents.
What makes you think you are wise by spewing this gibberish? It is already obsolete. You saw a video and you claim it is media stunt. How did you get to know. Are you in Ukraine? Do you have first hand information about development in Ukraine? Please stop that wanna be Russian.
FERNANDEZISBACK: Here is a sensible man not the underage kids on nairaland who are still feeding from Mom's pot parading online as wannabe redpillers.. Bunch of weaklings..I hope these wannabe redpillers won't call him a simp since their brain is only glued to women bashing and unproductivity.. Appreciate and respect your partner then watch things go in order.. Blessing to all real men and women out there...as for the wannabe redpillers keep enjoying mom's rice and stew maybe when you folks grow up you will get back to your senses..
Finally a sensible man appears. I am still looking for a sensible lady. Journey in futility.
US has tapped out of sanctions, and they do not have any more leverage left over Russia. At least not when China's got Russia's back.
We have seen how harmful the sanctions from 2014-2017 are already performing on Russia . I don't want to go into numbers, but the truth is that any great power, with huge mineral resource like Russia, can easily shrug off sanctions.
The US has to accept - and if it is not ready to accept, it will be forced to; that a unipolar world is not only dead but impossible! Building propaganda narratives like Trump's trade war with China, that is damaging the US economy will do US no good.
And for those whose mouths are on a steady on CNN's butt, hear this: Russia never threatened to attack Ukraine. Never!
Hear it again, Russia never threatened to attack Ukraine NEVER! It never threatened to attack Ukraine even if Ukraine joins NATO - i.e. even if Ukraine is admitted into NATO. What is being said is that in the likelihood of Ukraine joining NATO, the Eastern Ukrainians, i.e. the republic of Donbass region who are ethnic Russians will reject the admission into NATO, and will decide to declare independence. After all, why will they join an association that is set-up to fight them?
Russia is just re-echoing the sentiments of the Eastern Ukrainians, promising - like in the case of Crimea and South Ossetians to honour their request, and probably defend their (Donbass) sovereignty.
Therefore, it'd be utter lunacy for Ukraine to think that they can join NATO, and at the same time prevent ethnic Russians in Ukraine from Joining their motherhland. It's just plain stupid!
If Ukraine wants to Join NATO, they are welcome to do that, as long as they do not stand in the way of the Eastern Ukrainians quest to rejoin Russia. But if they think they can eat their cake and have it, then they should get ready for carpet bombing. Which even the combined power of NATO won't save them!
Your sentimental narrative is very obvious. Certainly, you are one of those that oppose the self determination being fought by Eastern region of Nigeria while you are busy clamouring for such in far away Ukraine. This is typical of buhari supporters and I am sure you are an ardent member.
shortIGBOman: Bla bla bla bla bla bla. All the wealthy men in Anambra are IGALA. The real Igbos in Anambra are settlers who came to Anambra to hustle. And they from the middle class and below. They all speak Igbo in Anambra cause, Igbo is the language of trade in the East.
Just saw the moniker I quoted. Coconut head moniker.
shortIGBOman: Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla. No one stoped you from leaving. But let me remind you, when you leave, you must do so with only the 4 Eastern States. Which are; Ebonyi, Imo, Enugu and Abia States.
Anambra is IGALA ancestral State and the North will soon reclaim it.
My dear. I can never be a northerner. Tell your northern land grabbers that anambra is not for sale.
seunmsg: Obi is innocent because he’s Igbo and all others are guilty because they are not igbos. We know your ways so no one is surprised.
Peter Obi Pandora is a thief and a failed governor. Someone that can’t even make quality appointments, choose a competent and worthy successor, conduct local government election and has no enduring legacy in a state he ruled for 8 years shouldn’t even be mentioned when talking about prospective presidential candidates.
With this comment I can get that most nairalanders have not touch with political realities they analyse. They only type trash due to free mb. Anyway I am sure this poster is a secondary school boy.
Despite the desperate packaging, he is not fit. It is very glaring. Nobody hates tinubu as loud and lousy afonja tries to paint it but it is very obvious that tinubu is old and tired, he should go and rest. PERIOD!!!
Them go collect receipt of everything dem don do,I don't have any problem with APC or pdp producing d president so far there's no touch of igbo.
I am only voting against any party that field igbo as President or vp.
Even any candidate wey igbo support even if na my brother I go vote against am.
They need to know that no b only them get monopoly of madness
Nobody dey drag your madness with you. Una don kolo carry cup. Na Igbo elites be the real problem. If not the solution and cure to your ewedu head mad skull harvesting afonja muslim is ready.
uglyafonja: Alcohol may not be a sin.....But where the problem lies is the after effects....
Alcohol will always make you to think about fornication... Alcohol will always make you to think to commit mastabation Alcohol breed anger and hyperactiveness
The sad event is just enormous, if it is possible to avoid it, kindly avoid it.....
I have the urge to fornicate whenever I take alcohol....
You lied!!! Alcohol can only bring out what is hidden in you, your real desire. Just don't take excess of it.
Candidlady: You can't control it your genders are beast...
Hopefully you rape someone and get caught... Then they insert a broom stick into your penis... Pour a lil gas on the crown of your dvck and lit it.. Then clip your nails one after the other...
Pained olosho. We know you folk. BB, bitter bitshes.
Chooo!!!? I was actually expecting a banter lo and behold was disappointed. People wey no wan wahala still dey nairaland ooo. No everybody here be cat and dog. Tuale sir!!
Your grammar is worse than Nigerian police unless twas a typo-error. You could have used pigin or your local dialect. The use of queen's English is not mandatory. Haba!!!!
Bounceboune7: This is the same northerners that believe igbos will vote for them
Igbos don't know what is about to hit them,they have so much created more enemies for themselves that it will b hard for them to b accepted outside their region.
Their children on different social media platforms aren't helping issues,look at gidgiddy,penguin2,asgard73, odin13,frigga13.
Just read comments from those people above n u will vote an handicap from Senegal over an igbo man.
Them never know wetin wan hit them, it's time to reap d hate they sow
Even your people down east have long rejected you. Who wants to be raped by bandits and bokoboys?
Penguin2: Oh, awesome to see it’s actually his account.
His opinion doesn’t count.
Even his father can’t do nada.
It’s Igbo’s turn to produce the presidency in 2023 or we all become IPOB. Even our politicians will give up on Nigeria.
Nigeria can try if it dares….
Igbos are not born to be naive and stupidly calm. This is what you get when you don't know yourself well. When your people say they want their own country you stand with them because they are your own. Don't come to the social space to counter your people because if they are not your people they can never be your people if you want please them with your life. Know this and know peace. Forget Fulani, hausa and Yoruba.
seunmsg: Chronic IPOB separatist are now chronic unity beggars campaigning for Peter Obi Pandora to be the president of the same country they want to breakup.
Whether Obi becomes president or not, we don't want Nigeria anymore as long as empty skulls like the present dullard keek being the president. Get it now.
