He has my support on this ... tired of the tribal iddiots making every thread unreadable here.

Do you know what social media means?
It encompasses Nairaland and goes farther than you think.

Horlertoungy:
DO YOU KNOW THAT: During the Nigerian Civil War, while Britain was sending sugar, butter and milk to the Biafrans, the same Britain was selling weapons to the Nigerian troops in Lagos. Britain gained immensely from that civil war while Nigeria and Biafra lost badly in everything and on all sides, all the billions the young country (Nigeria was just seven years old then) was supposed to use for development, they used to fight and kill themselves, our economy is yet to recover till date and that is not to mention the three million brains wasted.

If any civil war happens again, the same people who will benefit will not be the careless and ignorant youths screaming and calling for war, it will be the sellers of the weapons, you can see how President Donald Trump is selling weapons to both Saudi Arabia and Qatar at the same time while some comedians are taking sides. Who gained from the deal? United States. It is all a game and if you are not smart, you will keep making a fool of yourself as a nation.

If Saudi Arabia and Qatar start killing themselves tomorrow, it is none of the business of the weapon seller, they will even sell them more to finish themselves, just as the Americans are selling to the Saudis to finish off the Yemenis. The new world order simply has no time for stupid people, if you want to kill yourselves because you don't have sense, they will happily sell to you all the weapons you need, they will even help you upgrade and do maintenance for 'free'. After all they did not force the weapons on you, you demanded for them out of your own foolishness.

That is why you will see in many African countries like South Sudan and Congo where people are starving to death because there is no food but in these same countries they always have money to buy plenty weapons to kill themselves. You then begin to wonder how people who are so poor they cannot feed themselves are able to get countless AK-47s. It is left for the people of Africa especially the youths to use their brains and learn from history. As young Nigerians, make your leaders in government accountable, stop defending anyone based on sentiments because it will NEVER favour you, insist on good governance and a just and fair system that will provide abundant opportunities for everyone. The world owes you nothing. Wisdom is always profitable to direct and there is no misunderstanding that dialogue cannot resolve. After all, all wars are ended on the dialogue table. I have said my own. Kindly share.

Very nice, I'm giving you five minutes to edit your message without bias or I'm deleting it

I still believe this one.

LOL

I like the fake one better.

Donald Duke superintended over the reckless spending of N35Billion Naira of Cross River State's money based on 'assumptions'. None of these assumptions materialised BEFORE completion of Tinapa, so ZERO due diligence & ZERO feasibility studies on N35Billion and you have the guts to support such an individual with fetid excuses?

And you quoted Nairaland for your argument, instead of another site with statistics and proof. You should know how to weed the truth from speculation.

I like Donald Duke and I believe he is the best for this country, but the changes he's going to make we won't be ready for it.

He has dictatorial tendencies too. And uses it to achieve his goals.

hollywater:
Thunder fire all of them. They can easily agree on that, but won't agree on restructuring or biafra.

Hahahahaha

Odingo1:
CBN should stop defending naira with huge injection of dollars into fx market, foreign investors will be scared to invest because the exchange rate can collapse any day.

If they don't inject whose going to invest there, what's there to invest when people are running to other countries like Kenya and Ghana, with stable economy

Borrowing to service old debt....

Very funny country

NCP:
The entire population of the South Eastern States and their citizens scattered everywhere is not upto 14million compared to the Third largest tribe, Ijaw with 18.5million

Point of correction the third largest tribe is igbo, the fourth is Ibibio not Ijaw.

obyrich:
For having his speech leaked?

LOL

Ajaoogbo:
If this is true, then Buhari has turned out to be the best President.

Ever

OK I'll be saying it along with him tomorrow morning , my people will think I'm a prophet of some sorts

Fellow Nigerians, I am happy to address you all today on my return from medical treatment in the United Kingdom. It is by the grace of Almighty Allah that I am here with you.

I want to begin by thanking every Nigerian who prayed for my quick recovery. I also wish to thank those who lost patience with me. I understand your feeling. We have so much work to do in this country that every minute lost is a disservice to ourpeople.

My special thanks goes to the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. He held the fort in my absence. I’m very pleased with his performance despite the difficulties our political structure imposed on him. He did the job of leading this nation so well that I have a renewed confidence in our leaders of tomorrow.I also thank the National Assembly, my ministers, the members of the judiciary, our security forces and civil servants across this nation who go to work everyday and look up at the picture of their leader who had been absent for long and still dedicate themselves to the task of the day.

Being sick is a human condition. Whilewe pray that sickness does not befall even our worst enemies, it is one of those life experiences that ‘will come when it will come’. For those concerned about the financial burden my illness must have exerted on our nation, I want to dispel your fears.

Though as your president I am entitledto receive medical treatment anywhere that my doctors deemed best, I’m waiving that right. My family and friends will take care of my medical bills.

As leaders, we must lead by example. I promised to end medical tourism if elected president of Nigeria. Two years after, it has not happened. You do not have to go far to know that it has not happened. My absence from Nigeria for 103 days makes it evident. It is my personal failure. I own up to it, the same way I own up to all that we promised but have not accomplished.

As part of my renewed commitment to this country, in my remaining days as your president, I will make sure thatno president of Nigeria will again havethe need to travel abroad to receive medical treatment. We have done greater things in the past. We can do this.

In the last two years, we have opened the window of opportunities for tens of thousands of our young people through the N-Power entrepreneur scheme. We have school children in 13 states of Nigeria receiving free lunch at school as part of our Homegrown School Feeding Programme. In 9 states, over 26,000 are receiving N5,000 stipend a month from Conditional Cash Transfer Programme. We have stabilized the Naira and the economy. No matter how raw and uneven it may have been,we have taken a stab at the fight against corruption. Though it is still with us, its wings of impunity have been clipped. And instead of unrelenting on this fight, we are reloading and refocusing.

We have made strides here and there, but for many, the change that we promised has not materialized. In some cases, the change has taken many of our people two or three stepsbackwards. To them, it is hard to preach that stepping back is part of the process needed for a forward push. They may have seen the rams do it, but that does not mean that theywill understand it and embrace it when it means doing with less meat intheir pot of soup.For me, this period of ailment has been an opportunity for great reflection. If I had an illusion that I would always be with you, that illusion is gone now. I will not always be with you. But I know that Nigeria will always be with you. I, therefore, come back with a renewed commitment to leave a better nation for you all. In the little time that I have left in this role as your president, I want to see a more united Nigeria for all.

Our unity can only come if we create an equitable and just nation.I have had time to look at Nigeria fromoutside. I have watched with great interest how the wheels of the nation work from afar. They are not working well. All that we were afraid of are happening now.We shall confront them. But more importantly, we shall confront the nursery where the anomalies are bred.

In re-committing myself to the Nigerian project, I am determined to listen to, and understand, the people at the fringe of our society. More often than not, we fail to give them our ears and assume that what they have to offer has little or nothing to dowith our lofty dream for the nation. That, I have come to understand, is a false premise. All voices are needed inthe negotiation for the advancement of the Nigerian project.

Moving forward, balancing the Nigerian project to give it a solid sense of equity and justice is paramount to me. I want all those whoare committed to come to us. I want those at the forefront of the fight for restructuring Nigeria to bring to me proposals and blueprints on how to make things better.I want to balance the seats in the House of Representative to make it fair to all. I want the number of states in each geo-political zones balanced. Iwant to see the resources of this nation shared in such a way that thosefrom the areas where these resourcescome from do not feel cheated by the rest. I want to devolve power from thecenter. I want to free the regions to stand on their own. I want the geopolitical zones enshrined in our constitution. I want the presidency to rotate amongst the zones. The number of local government in each zone should be fair so that local government allocations to each zone would not be lopsided.We need to sit down and articulate theblue print of how to make Nigeria great. I want a master plan of what should be done on my desk in six months. We need them in specific terms.We have to radically transform this country if we want it to survive. I’m looking for a holistic treatment of all that ails us.

With the remaining time that we have, we want to set things right to make it easy for those coming behind us. We cannot wait. All along, the military has been the one putting in place constitutions and structures. Our democracy is mature enough that we can do them ourselves in tune with the desires and goals of our peoples. If we can accomplish that, the rest of the task of governing this beautiful country should be a lot easier, not just for this generation but for generationsto come.You won’t always have Buhari with you, but my job is to make sure that you will always have a Nigeria, an equitable and just country for all.

Political defeat of one section of the country only leads to progressive defeat of the whole nation.I am ready to defend this vision of a new Nigeria with the last breath in me.It is very unfortunate that we have been programmed to believe that in a family, injustice to one does not impact the cohesion and commitmentof the other to the family. But it does. It is the reason for all the rumblings we hear in our dear country today.To ensure my commitment to this, in afew weeks, we will convene a meetingin Aso Rock with all the young people who are so dissatisfied with the Nigerian project that they have decided to opt out of it. We want to listen to them and forge a way to regain their trust. The youths of this nation are the most important resource that we have. That should not be just a mantra to be given mere lip service. It is a statement of fact that we need to hold sacrosanct.My generation has played its part. We must have the courage to begin a systematic disengagement so that the next generation can take the lead. I have seen them in technology hubs across Nigeria, on the streets hustling,in schools and in markets. I am confident that they can take this nation to glorious places.If this our present malaise is a spell, it has run its course. Our mumu don do .Thank you for listening and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Hahahahaha haha

Maybe he wants them to sit at home and ponder on what the president is going to say on Monday, not a bad idea to him, but the president 's town didn't go for holidays why is he making his state go for holidays, will this act increase his allocation?

H

Hahahahaha

Boys aren't smiling.

Every masquerade should quit when the ovation is high

Vickzdvipe ask him here.

Bibble:
I don't understand what you're trying to say

Check law 47 and Law 19 in the 48 laws of power

aworatak:
Tribalism is who we are and nothing can change It. We have to learn to imbibe the spirit of tolerance till we disintegrate.

Now you just made sense,
Your parent tell you as a kid not to hang out with strangers for a reason, is that a sign of hate?

The people saying all this hate speech in Nairaland are they saying it out of ignorance or is there a reason for saying it?

I believe we should ask ourselves this questions and act, or we should ask ourselves this same questions and keep quiet and act like nothing happened until it escalates to something else.

Hate speech is not the problem,

vickzdvipe:
hello good people of nairaland gaming republic! please i really need insight from you guys since most of you are (experienced) in this feild i.e gaming and downloading games. So without much ado, I pose my question;

Where can I download complete pc games with their latest cracks and patch?

Ask Hakeem12 he might help you

Which of the youth are you talking about, is it a selected youth that you've chosen to make it seem like it's the whole youth in Nigeria.

OP you dey miss

I had to binge watch just to get to this level.

Please is lalasticlala a formal of speaking I tongues?

DocHMD:
By 'peaceful co-existence' you mean instituting hate against Igbos and shouting 'East must never rule this country' as you have been doing during 'peaceful years' from 1970s till 2015.

Maybe your "peace" will return when you allowed to speak against the East but East MUST be prevented from speaking back.

Ndi ara!

I wonder why the shout one Nigeria but chase out another ethnic group from their midst.

If you ask them they'll say Nigeria is non negotiable.

So you mean atheist don't believe in anything,?

obisco4u:
Relax brother. I also stopped believing in God November last year when I discovered that there is one up there to answer prayers for me or anybody. You just discovered the truth the hard way just we all did. All you need to defend yourself from are all the lies religion has to offer.

You need to meet some of these jehovah witnesses they are good in answering most of your questions concerning God or if there's no God. But are you telling us you believe in evolution and the big bang theory?

And purem.

You can’t ban expressions you don’t like and pretend you still have freedom of expression.There is no balance. It is a completely black and white matter. You are either allowed to express any opinions or thoughts, or you are not. When you are not allowed to express any opinion you like, you arenotallowed to express any opinion you like. Why don't we just go back to the military.

vedaxcool:

Trying hard to sound smart when you revel in bigotry doesn't just work. Hate speech led to a Genocide in Rwanda, Hate Speech almost destroyed the world in the Second world war and caused the deaths of 100s of millions. You simply don't get it, because your education didn't just give you all you need

Boyo banning hate speech does not get rid of the underlying problem. If you only allow speech and opinions that you like, then the next day, somebody else will allow only speech and opinions that they like. Those opinions may include a ban on regarding you as a human being in any way, shape, or form.

If you prevent hate speech, people inclined to hatred will go directly from hate thought to the third step, which is hate violence . You want to prevent that.Somebody who carries resentment can not be detected at the hate thought stage – the hate speech stage is the first stage detectable to society, which is why youwantthis, you want to see as much of it as possible. This is when somebody can be addressed by the community through informal and formal means – why are they full of hatred? Are they feeling well? Are they just stupid bigots, and if so, can they be talked out of it? Or have they possibly pinpointed a very real injustice in society?


Example negotiations with boko Haram, Niger Delta youths during the early stages or IPOB during the early stages rather than using force and escalating the situation

All you guys commenting here are bias, it's called

CONFIRMATION BIAS

They love to agree with people who agree with them. It's why they only visit websites that express their political opinions, and why they mostly hang around people who hold similar views and tastes. They tend to be put off by individuals, groups, and news sources that make them feel uncomfortable or insecure about their views — what the behavioral psychologist B. F. Skinner called cognitive dissonance. It's this preferential mode of behavior that leads to the confirmation bias — the often unconscious act of referencing only those perspectives that fuel their pre-existing views, while at the same time ignoring or dismissing opinions — no matter how valid — that threaten our world view. And paradoxically, the internet has only made this tendency even worse.

The truth is we live in a democracy and people have the right to say what the want, there's going to be people who won't accept your point of view, so get used to it. If you want LOVE-SPEECH then go to heaven.

Why would you think someone will be scared of you and won't tell you he hates your character or your behaviour is very stupid to think so, one man's food is another man's poison, you don't expect to say sheet and I take it with all smiles because I dont want to hurt you,
The truth is there will always be HATE-SPEECH.

If you don't like it then go ahead and kill yourself

NtoAkwaIbom:
Mbok ask amm oo, which rally, where ?... Those Ipob propaganda pigs and idiots na just to lie and chest beat dem sabi

I'm not saying akwa Ibom and cross river do not support them but they don't support them to that extent that you people think they're going to die for you. Till now the Ipob have not explained anything to them to tell them what IPOB stands for.

Mynd44 haven't you read this?
