but you are in lagos paying taxes to tinubu

I'm sorry I'm not in Lagos.

lekki1444:
So a certain aspect of the country are very proud of the fact that they do not have godfathers ( The south east ) but coincidentally that part of the country is in disarray and indigenes of that part of the country run into the part of the country that has a godfather because the part that has godfathers is the most prosperous and most organised, relatively speaking of course. So the point is a man has to be stupid to say he doesnt want something but is running into the place where what he doesnt want exists. Proving that you need a central figure with a vision who will put the pieces together to make the vision come true. These central figures are called kingmakers or godfathers and it is because Lagos state has had godfathers from its inception is why it is the hub that it is today. There are other states with ports that are strategically located who can takeover from Lagos and become the next hub but these states have no godfathers. Everybody is just running around like a headless chicken doing their own thing and getting in each others way. A governor can build something and then the next governor wike will come in and knock down everything the previous governor built. Just a bunch of headless chickens with no central vision is why these states are in disarray and everyone is running to Lagos which is the sole place that has a very active godfather. The yorubas have always had godfathers with the central vision who will then appoint people to realise that vision. It is the godfathers of yoruba land who approached the portuguese and the british and said,we need you to make this the main trading route. And this is why Lagos is the hub it is today. The godfathers have been the akitoyes, the lamurudus, madam tinubu, the kosokos and in modern day it is the Jagaban.

The idea that you can build a world class civilization without godfathers is preposterous. The western world with all its organisation and prosperity is that way because they have godfathers who run the whole show behind the scene. These godfathers are the kingmakers and it is them who choose the people who you will vote for but behind the scene both parties work for the godfathers and so it matters not who wins because they all work for the same people. So what they have in the west is an illusion of democracy but it really is a dictatorship run by godfathers. YOU CANT BUILD A FUNCTIONAL CIVILIZATION WITHOUT gODFATHERS. The godfathers pioneering the destiny of the west are the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Duponts and the Gettys.

In conclusion this whole igbo mans speech of we dont want godfathers in the east is just the ramblings of a child. when you are ready to get some work done and come up the ranks ? you better go find you a godfather or else the place will continue to be in disarray. Meanwhile in Lagos we will continue to support our Kingmaker aka the godfather aka JAGABAN. He is not a perfect man but the place would be a lot worse without him as the central figure directing the affairs and appointing kings. it was him who gave us Raji Fashola arguably the best nigerian goevernor in the past 50 years

It's like the out come of the Edo state election is giving you worries. If you like, write up to 50 pages of rubbish on nairaland, it won't change the fact that igbos are allergic to godfatherism and modern slavery. We are republicans by nature and a thousand of you cannot change that. You should be ashamed of yourself for being proud of the fact that a human being like you should tell you who to vote, pocket your resources and walk away gleefully. Shame!! He should also tell you what to eat and what to wear. It is only in Nigeria that someone will be proud of seeing his paid taxes and collective public funds in someone's pocket. Tufiaaakwa!! If you think that this is how developed countries and cities got to where they are, you must be the biggest joker of the century. If all nigerians have this same mentality of yours, then the country is truly finished. God forbid!!

lekki1444:
but you are writing this post as a slave in lagos state paying taxes to jagaban

And you think it's something to be proud of? That your taxes go to one man's pocket? Are you normal?

ChangedMan1999:
It is bad for a group of people who are staying in another persons land or state to come out in the open to say "we will vote for this candidate"

Play the neutral game.

It is natural to have one candidate in mind, but don't come out and say we so so so people are for this candidate. Let your votes be divided so that the people of the land won't think you pulling weight in their land by opening backing a candidate.

But, incase a candidate has done so much for your people and you want to reciprocate the love, just hold private meeting among your people in the state and make them know who deserves your vote. Again, make them promise that they wont tell outsiders what you discussed in the meeting.

On the election day, just go straight to the election ground and cast your vote and come back.

I hope you know that it's also bad for someone to come out in the open and ask a group of people who are non- indigenes of his state about their choice of electoral candidates.

I can pay for all nairalanders.

YEBOmadiba:
I guess the Americans are also stupid because they have a serious problem with Mexican and Colombian drug cartels.

Do you say the same about them?

Have you ever seen the Americans March to the Mexican or Columbian embassy asking to deport their their citizens ? Have you ever seen them fight on social media and insult themselves over drugs? Or have you ever seen the Americans tag every Mexican or Columbian a drug peddler or a drug dealer. Their prostitution level is even worse. No country can beat their records, but yet they live peacefully in America. Have you now seen that black South Africans are the most foolish people in the world?

MASTAkiLLAh:
Black South Africans have been a problem to that country since the days of Adam. The only luck they have is that whites settled and developed their country’s infrastructure. The blacks are so lazy and always exhibit a victim mentality thereby blaming everyone for their problems except themselves.

As in ehh. If you look at the people spearheading this stupid protests, you will see that they are all blacks. Black South Africans are the most stupid and useless set of blacks in the world. A disgrace to the black nation. Anyways, it's better for Nigerians to come back home before they loose their lives to stupid and useless people.

My crush

jlinkd78:
It now appears PDP is d truly party with national appeal as their presence is seen across d six geopolitical zones. Personally feel bad seeing Imo state tagged an APC State especially when I know my ppl voted for PDP

As in ehh. The thing is very painful.

DrAbayomi:
No one is looking for faults here oga! I supported Obaseki at the polls to prevent osho from wielding his influence blatantly over Edo state... Why not look up the meaning of the controversial phrase “godfathersism” and we take it up from there! It doesn’t reduce Obaseki politically if the school remains named after Osho.
Namaste.

You are still not making sense. What's wrong with a governor changing the name of a University located in the state which he governs? The school wasn't named after oshiomole anyways .

Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!

ILegend. I want to see his hippopotamus mouth.

tinsel:
I thought when you win a fight you show magnanimity to your opponents in victory and extend a hand of fellowship. Why is this man such a bitter person. What kind of teaching is he giving to his children

I don't see any bitterness there. He only renamed a university due to reasons best known to him. At least he didn't name it Obaseki university Edo state, neither did he close down the school. It still a state university for the people of Edo state and that's all that matters.

DrAbayomi:
This isn’t the way to go... we didn’t end godfatherism for another godfather to emerge. Renaming the institution is uncalled for. I think the legislative arm of the state government should react accordingly.

Need I remind him Oshiomole’s 8years in Government will forever remain indelible in the people’s heart. It was all Edo citizens yearn for before he harmed himself politically!!!

What is uncalled for there? When has it become godfatherism to rename a university? Or did his actions change the fact that the University was built under oshiomole's regime? Some of you surprise me. So many universities in Nigeria have been named and renamed. It's not a new thing and neither is it a bad thing. Stop looking for faults where there is none.

ODJ124:
every time we keep insulting our country this isn't fair...
let's appreciate what we have..

we compare ourselves with developed countries..

when only their defense budget alone can fund Nigerian budget 2 years none stop...
do we even have money... compared to them..

Most Africans sees Nigeria as the USA of Africa...

Hahahahahaha. How then will they see South Africa, and Egypt? You made me laugh this afternoon

decatalyst:
See as she open mouth wide...

This one sabi any other thing so?

Lol

yaqq:
There's this joy one get when your buddy tells you he just smash a pu*sy..... Especially that of a stubborn girl....

If Layton nack this girl, na 100 percent vote we go give am

I don't understand this.

Lagosians did not support Ambode and that's the truth. If lagosians were serious about breaking free from the shackles of godfatherism, the elections outcome would have been different but instead, they were loyal to tinubu. Forget about tinubu's influence on lagos politics, lagosians were not serious.

Kennyswag:
getout of my sight..

Lol

longetivity:
what kind of lie is this

It's very real

Kennyswag:
Nonsense

Because you don't have it in your region?

This is the most stupid and useless thread I've ever come across since the day I was signed into Nairaland.

TheChameleon:
According to APC supporters :

1. Pastor Ize Iyamu is an ex cultist who Oshiomole had eloquently campaigned against in 2015.

2. Overbearing influence of Oshiomole.

3. Disaffection within the ranks of APC bigwigs.

4. Anti-Tinubu sentiment - EDO no be LAGOS mantra.

5. Most importantly, Buhari's failure at all levels

[b]6[b]. Edo people's love for ugly leaders. Ize Iyamu wasn't just ugly enough.
[/b]
Youths... NO politician is worth risking your life for. Have your fun online.

Come back to this thread when results are officially announced.

Ah! But obaseki is more handsome than ize iyamu na!

chibuzorAbia:
When are you SE people going to get PDP presidential candidate?

Why does your moniker contain an igbo name? Is that not stupidity on your part?

How come nobody is concerned about those parties that scored nil?

pricklewane:
Everything he listed happens to be true. You are just hurt because you know it is n it was spelt out to your face. You should ahup up if you have no rebuttal.

There is no truth in what the Op posted. As long as igbo Muslims and other Muslims in igbo land is moving about freely, without fear of being killed, there is nothing like religious intolerance. They even go to their mosques in peace and come back safely without harassment from anybody. We can't say the same for our Christan brothers up North.

[quote author=NaMeAboki post=94074053[/quote]Wow! A long epistle of self deceit. This is complete trash. You are only deceiving yourself if you think that northern Christians are treated better in the north. Every lie that was written in the useless post is very much applicable to Muslims in the north.

slivertongue:
if this writeup were to be a proposal or an abstract for a research work..hmmm the premise, observation
and conclusion don't add up.

Well unfortunately, it's neither a proposal nor an abstract. It's a reply to the stupid ideology of the quoted moniker.

DCmonster:
God punish you and that your mutherfucking father. May devil suck you both balls.

Igbo matter will kill you and your fellow ewedu gobbling morons and head slammers.

You got me rolling on the floor

ajailer:
This write up just hits the nail on the head in regards to each tribe towards religion. The igbos are the most intolerant in terms of religion, hardly will you see a Muslim Igbo but with other tribes, a mix of the religion is common in many families. Above all, the Yorubas are the most tolerant towards religion in Nigeria.

Hia ohh chim! So because you can hardly find a Muslim igbo, then you assume that igbos are religiously intolerant? Wow! Is it by force to be Muslim? It's not our fault that the Muslim society has dented their image especially in Nigeria.
