We are very Sorry for the shut up part,

Am ashamed of professor Wole Soyinka


Ina as much he could analyse, he never suggested the way forward if RUGA is abolished.


I detest people who can only destroy but cant construct.


Well said, RUGE will set Nigeria on Fire. Can Prof please proffer a better way of approaching if he is good at condemning.

post=79884550:
It is good to see that the same sets of nonentities calling Professor Wole Soyinka unprintable names just last week,
names that they can never call their grandfather.
All because of a boy on a plane, that his parent did not teach manners.
A boy that wakes up his parents with karate kicks every morning,
Saying why should the boy stand up for the PROF, afterall they both pay the same money.......
a man as old as his grandfather,
they are now the same sets of people hailing the PROF today!

Nigeria our darling country.
Hypocrites everywhere!
What a nation!!


You see what we are saying?
Na PROF Wole Soyinka dis tin dey call washed-up old fool so!

Ruga is Sabon Gari Kano, Sabon Gari Zaria, And similar colonies in Sokoto, Gusau, Katsina, Maiduguri, 9Bauchi, Yola, etc where your ancestors came to beg for Ruga to stay and they were given. Shameless ingrates.

nextstep:
Are they saying it's against Edo culture to raise cows (either in pastoral grazing areas or on ranches).
But apparently it's OK to eat cows. Where in the world do people refuse to give land to raise the food they eat?

If Edo people stop eating cows (or had some taboo against cow meat), then the piggery analogy might make more sense.

But all I can do is ntooor... we saw this coming since first term, yet enough of my Southern people voted for Buhari again... now they are complaining. We said: "here's a pair of educated, detribalized connected, worldly people with business experience", and Nigerians said: "nah... give us the cattle rearing bigot pretender"

Well, anybody can say anything, but no state except Lagos is self-sufficient, so the day FGN says no more allocation, that's the day that governor understands that power pass power.

Benekruku:
In as much few to no conflicts happen in this zone, I think the gesture need not be introduced into the state.

But if Obaseki was proactive enough to foresee and continuously improve, I did will "personally" advice he buys into so as to nail open grazing.


Sentiments, religious and tribal bigotry has eaten so deep into the populace that we even tend to ignore the much benefit that out weighs the odds.

Honestly Oga I see your comments on this RUGA.
Are you saying this proposal by PMB isn't bigotry?
The herdsmen came against the farmers by destroying their crops without provocation, and all you do is to settle them?
What about funding community farming and fencing too to ward off animals?
What compensation has been made to the slain farmers?
How many herdsmen assault offenders have been arrested?
Truly, I would love to make sense from your point but it still means nothing.
No wonder PMB said years ago, "ND militants are treated with kids gloves while BY guys are being killed"
See Oga, if this country goes bad today we all will feel it. Even PMB as much as he is enjoying all the wealth and privileges of a president will still feel the heat.
So no matter where you belong, ensure the truth always and drive for peace and progress

But if No, ai don't think Edo requires such. They have been with herdsmen for years without conflicts. Same scenerio applies to the South East and South South.


But for North, This should be implemented across

May it never be well with all the politicians that brought this Boko Haram issue to our country to meet all the issues we have on ground before.

May it never be well with anyone that used the money (over 2Billion US Dollars....700 BILLION NAIRA!!) meant to procure ammunitions for our soldiers on the war front to campaign for election sharing it to shady characters all over the nation, making them billionaires and multi-millionaires overnight....and they watched our soldiers died like chicken, and that administration even had the effrontery to sentence some of our soldiers that ran away from the war zone to prison!!
May it never be well with all of you in life!!

May it never ever be well with all the politicians sponsoring Boko Haram and different kind of terrorism in this nation along with anyone that supports them.9

They will all die miserably for all the pains they have brought to this nation, they can never escape it.
We won't mention names this time, let your conscience judge you, wherever you are.

And if this prayers nauseate you, may it never be well with you too, enemies of Nigeria.


RIP to our gallant soldiers.

Ask GEJ/PDP, they gave that responsibility to the DISCOs when they privatized electricity and power generation or just google the meaning of privatization.

It is not by force to comment.

......you should on the other hand show us the major projects GEJ/PDP completed in 16 years

Show us the roads

Show us the completed rail projects

Show us the bridges

Show us the refineries

Show us the hospitals

Show us the water works

Show us anything meaningful Nigeria benefited from 16 years/PDP and $500 BILLION oil earnings.

Not all Yorubas are bad just like not all Igbos are bad. My organization is a multinational organization and I no longer work with him.
There are people of great minds everywhere and most Yorubas I know condemned that act of ballot snatching in Lagos

shadeyinka:

I have generalized as far as the current political terrain is concerned. As per politics the North specifically the Hausa/Fulani would choose a Yoruba man 10 times over an Igbo man.

As per individuals, we all have both extremely good and extremely bad human beings. I wouldn't judge a whole tribe by that yardstick!

aribisala0:
In Nigeria of 1970 if there was one group that was a frien to the Eboe man it was the Yoruba
Awolowo save all the allocation of East Central state during the war and handed it over at the end,he recapitalized ACB but they chose to make the Yoruba their enemy.

The truth is this started even before the war. They jailed Awo. Zik as presiden appointed Eboes all over University of Ibadan. I can go on till next year intead of you to show respect and gratitude to the one people who showed you humanity after the war you fed your children all manner of lies and today we have the result.


You are in for a nasty surprise before the year runs out. You will find out what the Fulani have always known

aribisala0:


Honestly you need to learn how to write in coherent English. This chaotic offering of a troubled mind is an undeserved chastisement.What is my sin? I am no psychiatrist!

Lagos was a protectorate of Britain since the late 19th century well over 100 years ago. It was a prosperous centre of commerce THEN .
This is simply because it is the cheapest port to maintain in Nigeria. That is all. Do not be bitter about this.Do not begrudge the Yoruba the foresight of their ancestors to locate in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Your ancestors bequeathed you a land flowing with Akpu& tombo you should thank them too.
This claim that politics keeps Lagos the way it is is hackneyed and tired. Clearly you are young.
The North were never happy with Lagos and as far back as 1975 put in place the Abuja agenda.
Lagos is not even satisfactory to us Yorubas. We know we can do better if we had true resource control

This refrain of open up seaports is quite ignorant. Who closed down seaports anywhere?

The simple truth if you are old enough to know is that Nigeria has been broke for a very long time short of an oil boom that lasted 9 years from 1974-1983 when prices crashed and a short period in 1991 during the 1st gulf war.
The 3rd Mainland bridge was constructed up to Herbert Macaulay and then suspended for years why? No money

We did not build any refineries? why? no money
We did not build any power stations after Egbin completed in the early 80s why? no money.
this for nearly 20 years. No rail nothing. And then there came a windfall of 1991 and it was all plowed into Abuja. No serious Economic infrastructure. No refineries , No railways, No Power station . Everything Abuja. Lagos NEVER received that kind of cash injection.
Is it a country that fails to build all those things that would build seaports?

There is no conspiracy the truth is from 1983 There was very little investment in Lagos except the completion of 3rd Mainland Bridge. The port in Lagos was a cash cow. Money was taken out but nothing put back and so all the roads around it decayed.

How then can you folk be so petty to keep this victimhood alive.
There was a functioning port in PH when Shagari was in power. It ceased functioning simply because the Nigerian economy collapsed in the mid 80s and the Naira plunged. Buhari banned a lot of stuff and Cotonou came to life.

The Nigerian government is not going to build any ports they have not done do since the upgrade of Lagos by Gowon under Bamanga Tukur.
There is simply no money
Again there was a slight window under Jonathan when we had $100 oil prices what did Odili ,Ibori and Akpabio do?
Akpabio built a grand stadium and Hospital.

Let us tell our selves the truth. The port is Lagos is there and serviving in spite of government not because government supports it.

That port was there throughout the military government and Lagos never exceeded 500 million IGR in a month.
Give credit to Tinubu

The governors of the SS have had the resource to build a port in Akwa Ibom but they mismanaged it. How much did Ibori get convicted of stealing?

Yet you do not like the truth rather you prefer victimhood.

Finally remember from 1979-1983 Alex Ekwueme as Vice President and Ume-Ezeoke Speaker HOR and yet the Yoruba whoo were in opposition were able to conspire to hold back the SS. Is that credible? Was it the Yoruba that held back investment in power,refineries railways and made Babangida spend over $10 billion on Abuja?

The truth is Abuja has been a total waste. If that money had been spent on Lagos it would yield returns 10 fold what returns is Abuja yielding?
It is still being subsidized.

Still greater than the SE. Ogun State IGR alone is close to the entire SE despite all the chest beating

SW IGR less Lagos still greater than SE.

aribisala0:
Please stop talking rubbish there is no coalition with the North or coalition against the East

In 2011 GEJ got 2.4 million SW votes and Buhari got 240000 . We never saw that as a coalition AGAINST the north or a coalition with anybody.

We chose what we thought was the best option based on the available information.

If anyone was involved in a coalition against anybody it was GEJ and the Eboes agains the SW after GEJ won the election.
The only difference between the election numbers in the SW is they were not cooked up like in the SE and SS.

At any rate in 2007 SW voted for Yar'adua against Buhari was that a coalition against the North?

In 2015 GEJ had succeeded in squandering his political capital in the SW by depleting the PDP. He jailed Bode George, Harrassed Dimeji Bankole, Drove Oyinlola out of PDP and so by the time election came who was his biggest player in the SW ?? Femi Fani-Kayode.
GEJ was badly advised by the Eboes and his wife and fought against all the Yoruba people in PDP whom he thought were Obasanjo's people and so he was naked in 2015. The fact that he had not extended political patronage to PDP in the region did not help him and so from inheriting, Oyo, Osun,Ogun and Ekiti govs in PDP from Yar'adua he was left with just Fayose whom he installed in the dying minutes come 2015.

How then can we call this a coalitin with the North

Buhari was not aligned with political forces in the north. His party CPC was completely out of sync with that.

Buhari and Tinubu were both opposition elements and their victory was improbable . GEJ made it happen.
The Yoruba have always voted rationally.

Buhari's performance has been disappointing and we have seen the reflection in the results of 2019 election
How then can any sensible person talk about coalition agains the east?
Was GEJ favorable to Yoruba interest?
Did he govern well?

The truth is he did not afterall Yoruba voted him in.

This time Buhari has been disappointing but Atiku did not have the right resources and probably is not the right man for the job. SO do not cast this as any Yoruba vs East story that isn RUBBISH

shadeyinka:

Yes, we've been fighting!
Over what?
I don't really know.

And what have the East gained from the fight? Nothing
And what have the West also gained from the fight? Nothing

So, must we continue to fight each other?

shadeyinka:

But it doesn't mean that peace shouldn't be given a chance. Right now, we need the unity more than ever. The North prefer the West to the East, that is the truth. But, the East cannot be politically relevant by themselves. They need more friends than enemies. Therefore make more friends!

aribisala0:
Guy what is federal presence? There has been federal absence now for 29 years with Federal presence in Abuja for same period.

Why is Abuja not generating that kind of IGR

It is a fact that in 1999 after 8 years of Federal absence when Tinubu came to power the IGR in Lagos State was 500 million a month today it is 30 billion.
Ask Davido he will confirm it

Federal Presence Well for your information the Nation takes out more that it gives to Lagos . Lagos State is a Net contributor to the Federal account .

What has cashless policy got to do with anything . Your brain is working in a bizarre way. How is that relevant to anything we are discussing here . Next you will remind us of how Rihanna comes shopping in Onitsha market or how Orji Uzor Kanu banks with the World Bank as your brother previously did on Nairaland.

You claim SE seeks independence and yet NOT one of your Houses of Assembly has passed a resolution to that effect. Not one of Your elected federal legislators has raised this in the National Assemble so what evidence is there that you are seeking independence more than anyone? Is it your attempt to forcefully rope in the SS into your failed enterprise.Asari Dokubo has put you jokers in your place.

Tell me is Nnamdi Kanu your representative? Let us start from there

aribisala0:


As usual you specialize in lies and distortion. What has Sardauna's statement got to do with what I said. We are talking political arrangements and you are talking Lebanese. Did the Sardauna talk about bringing in Lebanese people into government?

Yes the constitution needs changing even by fiat. But no one will accept it being done by an Eboe.That is the bitter truth.
You guys lack tact and diplomacy and would only end up plunging the country into crisis

When you say we don't want that this is another of the falsehoods you keep feeding yourselves. So it is you that want resource control more? The data is there of all the regions in Nigeria The SE is the most dependent on revenues from oil with the lowest IGR the data is there. THE SE is the biggest parasite so stop this SS/SE attachment

Yes

aribisala0:


What strong tie did Awolowo have

Was Ekwueme a Yoruba man?

Was Edwin Ume Eze-Oke a Yoruba man

If you are too young ask your elders

Awolowo politically ALWAYS was in opposition

In 1979 Shagari NPN had Ekwueme as VP and did a deal with NPP to give them Speaker HOR and the same thing played out in 1983

In 1983 he pardoned Ojukwu and brought him back from Core d'Ivoire to join NPN

Tell us the most senior Yoruba man in Shagari's government
If you feel taunted ,sorry. The truth is that from day one the Eboes were never friends of the Yoruba and have ALWAYS sought to be in central government at the expense of Yoruba to the extent that in 1962 Awolowo was jailed and the MidWest was carved out of the West while the East was left intact.

After the civil war instead of moving on you poisoned the minds of your children against Yorubas and you are hear talking ribbush and ninsuns.

If you are sincere is the issue about becoming President? to so some extent it is because it would mean changing the constitution by force if necessary which would be a coup of sorts. Nigerian will not tolerate that from an Eboe man and so any Eboe man going there would have to continue the status quo. It will be a waste as far as Yoruba interest is concerned

aribisala0:
really

What have they achieved in any of their states?

aribisala0:
Yoruba are not jealous of Eboes. Yoruba are indifferent to them. Deep down we see them as politically disorganized and culturally uncivilized. That is the bitter truth. We prefer to have Regional government. If we do we generally mind our business. Yoruba would not go to Enugu and start looking for how to become Mayor.
So in reality we have greater affinity with the Hausa and Fuani than Eboes politically. We do some other things well together especially crime but not politics. We are parallel lines politicallly and the only way we can operate is if the Eboes accept Yoruba as their leaders which they are too proud to do and yet they have no serious political thinkers.
What can you deduce about a people who line up behind Nnamdi Kanu

aribisala0:
What are the Eboes afraid of Let the SW ,SE and SS slug it out competitively? At the end of the day it would surprise both that the SS would win.

The bottomline is the Yoruba do NOT see the Eboes as a relevant factor to them becoming president. The Eboes HAVE ALWAYS been political competitors so long may that continue.

Let the Eboes stop wailing and come to the pitch to contest.

Mayor08:

I'm not against who you people vote for/like or what you stand for... You guys should learn to respect other people's decision, we are different... Let us criticize this government constructively and not base on hate... When an igbo man says something against this government, so many people will think he/she said that cause you guys hate him

sweetrace:


My first degree was world history. I was taught in a very objective way and allowed to seek the truth for myself. No, I was not fed lies. Rwanda has a President from the massacred tribe today and so Nigeria should give the presidency to an Igbo man? Is that how democracy works? Don’t you have to vie for elections. Was Ebele Jonathan not originally Igbo? Please, I’m neither Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba. I’m not interested in tribal sentiments for Nigeria. I’m interested in who is capable of getting the job done. And there is an armed forces day for all those slain in the war. Do you want a special day for the Igbos? Then all the numerous tribes in Nigeria should have a special day each because all tribes suffered casualties. I wish the Igbos will get this huge chip of their shoulders.

sweetrace:


I hope you know that Nigeria is not the only country that fought a civil war. America fought a devastating civil war and they moved on from it. Anyway, why are you calling yourself victims of the civil war? Ojukwu led you into a needless war. He was denied his rightful position and instead of handling it as a personal issue, his ego made him involve the entire tribe. Some Igbos still do this When they have a personal fight, they make it an Igbo issue. Anyway, Igbos fought a good fight but lost. Gowon was magnanimous in victory. He declared the war as having no victor or vanquished. Exactly what more do the Igbos want? Did you expect to go into war without having any casualties ? Stop using Biafra to blackmail. It won’t work. Let’s move on.
