Ibkhaleel:
Thank you for this submission....I will love to have time and discuss with you

I'm open to further discuss, as long as it will lead to a better Nigeria, even if it is one person at a time.

Ibkhaleel:
If they as intelligent as they think they are, then they should know that politics is all about bridge-building, consensus and give and take.

You made valid points however, this is the bone of contention.

Concensus, yielding and conceding, give and take.

Northerners obviously has more numbers and agricultural reserve.
South has mineral resources and agricultural.
West has industrialization and access to the ocean.
East has people of industry and agriculture.

Pray tell, in this bridge building economy of ours, have you over the time, pre nd post independence, seen an even balance on this scale?

Has there been a balance between consensus and concession?
At some point, we clamour democracy and call for concensus; at other points, we call for concessions...all these done when it's favourable to one's appeal.

Everyone's bias is valid.
The foundation was not effectively laid to show balance.
PDP tried it with their rotational ideology but failed.

We have to come to this roundtable and have this discussion, and as Fmr President, Goodluck Jonathan said, succession will not be on the table.
We just must find angles of compromise.
We cannot be in war forever....the life in Middle East Asia is not what we desire for ourselves.
Secession will lead to more secessions until the borders of secessions are tightly held together to stand alone.

The easterners or biafran landscape is not well defined.
North and North Central is also an issue
The West still has independent Lagos state to contend with.
The South doesn't even know which states are in the south.

Even if we split, the splitting will continue and it will be very bloody for all parties.

Where do we go from here

Ibkhaleel:
The problem with southerners is that they are brainwashed and programmed into accepting the new word into their dictionary and applying it to every Northerner...

The problem is if you ask most of them the meaning of quota system, they don't even know it. They are just saying it because that is one of the things they were made to believe.

They're the victims of what Chimamanda Adichie called "Single Story" They're fed up with the story of negatives.


Ndi Every Northerner Is A Product Of Quota System, Chew On This ...

Do You Remember the Pacesetter, SARKI ABBA from KANO State

In the cold hamattan of 1984, a Kano Indigene from SCIENCE Secondary School Dawakin Tofa did the unthinkable!!!

He scored 9 distinctions (8 A1 and 1 A2) in his West African Senior School Certificate (WASC) Exams. This achievement seemed unrealistic and never happened that the authorities at Lagos assumed it was a cheat.

In order to prove their assumptions right, a car was sent to pick up 16yr old Sarki Abba straight from Dawakin TOFA where he was made to retake the whole 9 exams in the duration of 3 days.

After marking the rescheduled exams, he scored 9 A1 (the only 'A2' he had in English Language before the retake, became 'A1' resulted to 9 A1)

Faced with shock, the Lagos authorities saved face by apologizing and instituting the National Merit Award making Sarki Abba its first recipient.

In 1989/90 school session, also at 21, Sarki Abba graduated as OVERALL BEST Medical Student, OVERALL BEST Graduating Student at ABU, Zaria. Sarki was then invited to U.S.A where he continued his studies, work and lives there since then.

Sarki Abba is presently a Professor of Urology and Pathology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, USA. Also, MD, PhD, at the John T. Grayhack Professor of Urological Research.

Prof. Sarki Abba's research program is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive cancer initiation, progression and recurrence with the ultimate goal of developing therapies that interfere with these processes. His work has particularly focused on Prostate Cancer.

From this story you posted, does this man look like the average Northerner?

He's obviously a genius...and under the sleeping eyes of Nigeria, the US have poached him forever.
Another loss for us. Imagine what he could have come back home to help us solve in this country.
Well, it doesn't change the fact that the northern education system is run by a quota system!

He wants to collapse the economy of the entire state?

What type of security move is this?!

Why not intensify security personnel instead and perhaps, regulate night activities...what concerns castles, firewood, motorcycle and petrol purchase in the insecurity the state is currently facing

ezewealth:
Which part of are u noticing this, this 042 I dey stay so?

Nna come Ngwo, udi side.
I dey 9th mile.

All those drug barons wey marry fine wives keep for mansion, how many dey stay for naija?
All of dem dey for South...leave wife for their mothers.

If not for Nsukka curse, married women for dey bleep anyhow for here.

TWLifestyle:
lol , in short its always the woman's fault - u can't make it in life with this your hypocritical mindset o .

I'm not here to be objective.
I speak from a man's point of view.
I raised 3 causes....

-Source of wealth
-Nature of job roles at home
-Sex denial.

If you have a valid woman's POV, tell us so that we can understand you female folks.
Don't come hauling abuses.
You can do better.

It's not unexpected in dat your enugu.
You get married to an already made man, you dont know how he hustles.

Most na drugs and yahoo....some don sell kidney sef.
They just marry you, buy you cars, keep you for big house and visit once in a while.
Others, work their ass off all day. When they get home, all they need from the *ever complaining HOUSE WIFE* is food and peaceful rest.
But since she has been jobless all day, na preek dey hungry her.

This I have seen in Enugu...and some Eastern States.

ON THE FLIPSIDE.

Women push their men away when they deny him sex in the name of being angry and not in the mood.
If you try dat nonsense twice, the man immediately gets an option outside.
Men no like too much stress ontop kpekus wey dem fit get outside with small change.
Don't push your man out and turnaround to say he's denying you sex!

Taba21:
Say Igbo women

My bro, you no lie.

I experienced same, even with my mother to the point that I thought she wasn't my biological mother.

Cane, koboko, pepper, garri stick, locking outside all nite....wetin we no see for igbo woman hand!

Go to National bureau of statistics NBS.

They have that information.

Lai Muhammad Lai

All these bitter women that managed to clinch a rich man...na so dem dey pour all their frustration for their domestic servants.

Why is it always done by women?

Women, why do you people harbour such level of despicable hate for your fellow human

Shey nobody wants to comment on the 6yrs old relationship ni?

Or am I in the wrong nairaland

hopefulLandlord:
These things have been happening since forever...

2. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

Not only is the above "sign" totally redundant since there's always been "nation/kingdom against nation/kingdom" even in the time of Jesus but also objective signs point to the fact that the world is actually getting MORE PEACEFUL and historians say this period is the most peaceful humanity has ever been

3. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines.

This is also redundant cuz earthquakes has been happening since time immemorial before and after Jesus, also this civilisation and enlightenment combined with humanitarian aids has ensured the devastation wrought by earthquakes are now more manageable than ever; also, Jesus also seemed not to be aware of Earthquakes happening on other planets; Famine? that's also redundant cuz The most terrible famines in history are past famines with the most recent being the North Korea famine which happened in 1994

as we can see, these verses are redundant or vague.

In the 33yrs of Jesus, there was relative peace as no war was recorded during that time.
What we had was church persecution and afterwards, crusaders movement.
It was before Roman empire lost their world title.
Plus or minus, we had like 50yrs of peace.

Famine is not redundant.
Google well, it's even happening in our time.
Madagascar has not seen rain in 4yrs now and counting.

The middle east has been in various wars since my childhood.
Even this Taliban takeover has been on since 2001, before and after 9/11.
Hitler, Hussain, Osama, new terrorist groups are springing up every other year.

Oga, repent for the time is near!

Emotionally unstable.

Finally, man is a social being.

We all need each other.

RIP man.

billynoni:
Issokay lemme modify, since I've booked a space on FP. For those feeling neglected, not loved and not loved enough today... Let me use this opportunity to tell you, I love and care for you. You're a great person and you deserve the best things of life. Have a great day!

The street is rough.

If you really love and care for me, mbok show me love...

Mk I send acc details?

Holyman3:
. Her father is part of the law.
So it's better to stay over there and die?

Rally fellow idealist...push for am amendment.

If religion is so sacrosanct that it can't be amended, then she should denounce the religion and still remain a northerner. We have freedom of worship in Nigeria.

I never even see the obscene image wey dey cause all this brouhaha

Holyman3:
She can relocate to Lagos.
USA as powerful as they are, left Afghanistan for Taliban. If Kano says they don't want such thing, leave the place for them. Don't bring religion into it

So she should leave her fatherland for them and become a stranger elsewhere
Who made such hypocritical rule that should govern them?

Is man for law or law for man
When a law is outdated or inconsistent with realities, it should be amended.

We are free moral agents!

Kobojunkiee:
Your "pure" heart is meaningless to God so long as refuse to do as He commands.

A pure heart ---> towards God.

Thats how God will reveal Himself to you in His Son and by His Spirit, through His Word.

"...that I may know Him, the one true God..."

One who REFUSES to do God's will obviously does not have his or her heart set on God.

See eh, some pastors don't want to preach this so that the congregations won't abuse salvation...but that was the same reason Paul asked, "should we continue in sin because Grace abounds?"

See eh, Grace abounds, so much so that all you need for salvation has been paid in the blood of Jesus. And it cannot be paid twice.
But rather than use that Grace to continue in sin, use the grace to live above sin and do great deeds for Christ.

I've come to realise that there's no formula in Christianity ooo.

A pure heart towards God, ensures a koinonia with Him.

Coz people have fasted, prayed, sow seed, tithe, evangelise, do every every...yet, nothing come out.

Just have a pure heart of righteousness, you and God go dey ball steady.

chiiraq802:
I don't seem to understand this man. Win the hearts and mind of Boko Haram, Herdsmen, Bandits and etc.... for what reason
If they say Islam and Sharia is there problem, then dey should be the ones fighting for the separation of Nigeria. but if there plans is to Islamize every tribe in Nigeria. they should better wake up.

They have vested interest in the ownership of the whole landmass, rather than cohabiting with their inferiors.

VTJN:
I recently got a transcription job. I'm likely to lose the job due to my inability to get a system.

Oga use that your last double allowee to buy laptop.

Quit with the excuses already.
Be positive.

Don't dwell on the problem, think of possible achievable solutions.

Newton85:
Lol, baseless point. A bang average footballer like Andy Carroll was the most expensive British player ever when he was signed for £35 million by Liverpool.

Good point.

I guess Nigerians do overhyped everything

kenzysmith:
Africans and money consciousness, dribbling without sense with his funny kind of leg over okocha tried but he is just average that d truth.

He was the highest paid African player when he joined PSG.

Is that what you pay an average player

Wetin dey worry una with hatred for this nairaland sef?!

Obatala7Kronos:
I am not surprised one bit because it is inherent in their DNA and I strongly believe that it has to do with the polluted & contaminated water they drink and bath them with in Alaigbo during their birth.

I come in peace!

Did you read the post or you just came to spew your long borne hatred for the Igbo ethnic group

This person should be banned from spreading this level of hate.

SIRAO:
shut up,they did it. my sister and her son was involved, they were coming back from Lagos and they were held in owerri by the army around 9pm till early morning and the driver left around 4am this morning and their senna bus with lugagges of the passengers was burnt. her son, driver and other passengers was macheted and they were rushed to hospital.
The fulani did not kidnapped them but the so called freedom fighters 're the people that tried to kill them. the funniest thing is that my sister always have sympathy withe to my displeasure. This I just lesson for all this supporting this evil call ipob

Let's see he pictures of your relatives.

Infact, I'll send pressman to come cover the story exclusively if you wish to mk it known to the public.

I got rejected today.
However, I learnt three things.

1. Recruiters don't care about the BEAUTY of your CV. (Argue when you are an employer)
2. Sometimes, you should empathise with the employers.
3. Study the company once you get invitation for interview, so you can highlight the skills that fits into the company's requirements.

He wanted someone to manage a fleet of bout 100 trucks.
Even with my experience in logistics- in managerial capacity, I still knew within myself that managing 100 trucks directly is a task I wouldn't give to a newbie.

I did put in my best to convince the employer that I am capable of learning quickly on the job, given my track record in my previous jobs and how I've always been passionate bout the transport sector, citing all my precious jobs that were all transport related.
He assessed me on other aspects, MSoffice suite, transport softwares, I passed above average. The only challenge, which is a true challenge even to me is that I have not managed more that a fleet of 10 buses. Managing 100 trucks is a big feat that I would like to start as a trainee or an assistant level, before managing the responsibility.
I'm hopeful but not anxious.
I'm ready to learn and give my all...but truly, that post deserves someone who has had some experience handling large fleet of trucks.
I wish they get someone better and also take me as an assistant...and watch me grow capacity to handle and exceed the responsibilities.

ivolt:
Only 2 of the 6 display any evidence of advance education.

3 actually.
Zulum of borno
Ben ayade of cross river
Ortom of benue

There is no motive or second party.

I've been a mischievous child before.

I dare say, that I could have done what that gurl did when I was her age.

Our mind just wan test everything wey we no know.

But truly.......where is the lie

We go still again

Nawa ooo!
