Your hate for Kanu has made u call him several derogatory names but u ended up agreeing with him that the Cameroon original nativity of Atiku has some merit. Nnamdi Kanu with this revelation has once proven wrong his enemies and confirmed he is truly a scholar of contemporary history. While I as a person prefers Atiku over Buhari and would wish him to win in d forthcoming elections, it must be emphasized that people should give Kanu d respect he deserves for furnishing us with information that appears hidden.

But Kanu IS a dumbass. I mean, quite the mischievous little character. Yes, I said it. The only thing Igbos have gotten from Kanu is trouble, brainwashing, boot kissing, self-belittling, and abandonment; unfortunately we also lost some lives. There are ways to obtain a Biafra - not that its existence would miraculously stop fake drugs or other crimes, nor would it prevent Igbos from arrogantly overbearing the other minorities being roped into the concept of Biafra - but Kanu's pronouncements and seditious activities are not the way to achieve it.

The information about Atiku is available for anybody to get if they cared, but it's disingenuous to phrase it that "Atiku is from Cameroon..." for the purposes of elections. If doubt should be raised about one "Cameroonian from Adamawa", then it should be raised for all Adamawa indigenes. Their being Nigerian has been a solved matter for nearly 60 years. In the same way nobody doubts Hawaiians are Americans (joined the Union in 1959), nobody doubts that Adamawans (and Atiku) are Nigerians... except some people who prefer to use their intelligence for scamming their fellow Igbos.

Buhari is Jubrin from Sudan
Atiku is from Cameroon.
What next, Sowore is from Benin Republic?

Well, if we accept people of Adamawa as Nigerians, then why single out one indigene? It's either they all from Cameroon and are ineligible to vote, get a passport, etc, or they are all Nigerians.

mrvitalis:
We have Ashow called Next titans... And other similar shows like that

The average Nigerian youth is just intellectually lazy

I always ask people what did the American government contribute to facebook, instagram, twitter, google, amazon, Tesla and the rest that is not available today

I understand where you're going but I will step in and say that the government of US did this:

- established good, and well equipped, public education system to train their young
- provided stable light, and built the backbone and initial funding for a pervasive Internet
- provided fair and stable economic system
- provided a social safety net, so even if you failed, you won't perish
- provides subsidies (erm. tax rebates) so people could afford Tesla's cars
- provides good roads so Amazon could be sure of getting and delivering its products
- keeps the dollar stable so it doesn't halve in value after one year

Castigating Nigerian youths for not being able to achieve the same as US youths, growing up with drastically different - and disabling - environment is not fair or encouraging.

Shibaraba:
Weyrey leleyi o.

Simple question.
Can you call your neighbour (an outsider) to join in your family meeting?

As in some people head na Mimi noodles dey inside
And some others with eggs in their skulls ,go say he dey right.

I no blame their group. Noodles and eggs na perfect combination

But that's the original problem: to Buhari and Ribadu, Chad and Niger are family. It is us - in southern Nigeria, that are neighbors to Buhari.
Once you understand who his real family is, you understand why he does what he does.

etrouble:

Yet her ex-husband kicked out her ass. SHe can melt a stony heart but she couldn't melt her ex-husband's heart. What a heart melter!

Husbands kick out all kinds of women for the flimsiest reasons. You can be the kindest heart, best cook, longest weave, best bedroom skills, etc, and the man will still find some excuse (usually another new thing) to kick you out.

The sad thing is that many people that I heard on the streets have this to say this about Sowore:

"I've never heard of him"
"He's untested and inexperienced"
"A vote for him would be a wasted vote"

I hope more and more people will be convinced in the next two weeks to vote for him. What I also want to see is for all the third-force parties to join up behind Sowore, and for all the youths to vote for him.

Which kind unsupervised access, visiting all kinds of site and posting all kinds of nonsense with my money.

Only at the age they are living on their own, paying for their own data and electricity. Until then, 1GB/month, and I will monitor the URLs you visit. Use wisely.

Trouble is these days, all the kids want to feel among, so by 14 they are demanding for smart phone so they won't be left out. And once you have your one phone, you can pretty much go anywhere you want. The Internet is not a safe place, in spite of all the benefits, so there are apps to help monitor and limit.

One thing somebody mentioned they do is the phone does not have a sim, so child can only browse where there's wifi (at home), which is connected to a router/firewall. Of course, the kid can go to somebody else's network and browse, so it's not the best solution either.

Nice one, but I'm sure this is the last time we will see Atiku in Asaba, wearing akwa-ocha. Once they get our votes, they never come back. At least our tourism industry (hotel and olosho) will benefit small from this visit

Only 16 more days before the Wicked Wizard of Daura clicks his heels and disappears into the desert.

I wish I could wish her luck, I really do, but her music is quite embarrassing... she day try sha... what have I accomplished?

Let me tell you something, A Yoruba man is the second richest man in Africa right now .... A Yoruba woman is the second Richest Woman in Africa ........... A Yoruba Woman is richer than the Richest man in Igbo Land. You push wheel barrow around the Yoruba Land, Sell fake Products and Counterfeit goods, Import goods from Abroad, Own some Clothes stores and Electronic stores in Yoruba Land and you think that's the end of everything in Life ....... Every Tribe in Nigeria can never be Bloodsuckers and Cannibals like your Tribe.... Every thing is not about showing Muscle you need to use your brain..... You are the one complaining of Being Enslave ...... Yoruba have no Master...... We got Nigeria in our hands ..... and if Yoruba is being Enslave leave us to our Slavery ..... The Slavery sweet us die, watch us as we continue winning without making noise....... Empty Barrel Make the loudest noise

akiOYIBO you see ur life?
(I no be Yoruba BTW, but see correct reply)

Chai... and you will see jobless youths spending their last credit to support people who don't give a damn. Ask these same people to donate N100 to fix the water pump, you will see excuses. Mtchew

CreepyBlackpool:
I would've said the students were stupid but


this is 400 level, nobody wan get extra year

My thoughts exactly... who wan try am?

(Amb) Adedipe Dauda Ewenla cannot have Hon. in his name because he is not a present or past member of the House of Assembly. He is an aspirant/candidate.

Still... may the full wrath of the law visit their sorry asses.

Remimadrid:
Buhari does not need ur votes to win. Your people did not vote much for him in 2015, yet he won, so it won't be different this time around.

With the Northern vote divided this time around between Buhari and Atiku? SW with no horse in the race might stick with PMB because of Osinbajo. SE, SS, may just be the deciding vote... abi what do you think?

Slynation:
And who are the 3rd force parties...?
Exactly what Nigerians are looking for, but the so called 3rd force parties won't campaign, they won't advertise, they won't do anything tangible to show any epitome of seriousness and u expect Nigerians to wake up one morning, go to the polling centres and vote for parties like CUPP and other lilliputian parties, thing's doesn't work that way....!! just take a look at the case of Oby, what message is she trying to pass across!! after embezzling money meant for campaigns and adverts she chickened out... Or do u think Nigerians love the duopoly of PDP and APC...? I think it's high time all those stupid & dispensable diminutive parties form a coalition just like APC so as to become a force to reckon with, but obviously they won't...!! Do u know why? because business is booming and having a registered party of your own is a very lucrative business here in Nigeria with a very simple ideology "Collect huge amount of money from the brobdingnagian parties either PDP or APC and form an alliance with the highest bidder on the eve of election.....
If things must get better in this country, a maximum number of parties should be considered, then u can come back let's talk about voting another party other than PDP & APC....
NB: A vote not in favour of the aforementioned parties is a waste!!

You make very good points... the matter just tire me...

"amidst the baseless criticism from opposition parties. "

The claims are not baseless, but you know the real irony? APC and PDP are composed of the same people... there's no difference between the so-called opposition, and the party of the current president. So when people start shouting and counter-accusing each other, realize that at the end of the day, they are all friends with the same agenda: carry as much loot as you can.

cooltola:
My only hope is that I hope the rumors about Atiku is false and does not manifest if he becomes President. I do not trust PDP or APC, I think Buhari is a better option. I hope that those are going to vote for him will not look back and have regrets next year or next 3 years if he wins. I hope that the next serious presidential candidates in 2023 will not be an ex generals, ex president, ex vice president but a reasonable, visionary leader that can take the country to the next level.

I don't understand how, if people are regretting voting for Buhari today, how it will get better if he's elected again? It's for certain there will be regrets from 2020-2023

Centcanada:
Who is charly boy? What does he do? Where does he work? How could a full grown man answer Charley boy when he is almost the age of a grand pa? If he has nothing good to offer as an advice to this great country that Buhari is bringing down, let him keep his mouth shot and follower those that has something upstairs. Nigerians need thinkers but not talkative!

But hasn't he just given us good advice? APC and PDP are the same thing, just like boli and plantain. The advice is: don't vote for either of these candidates. Choose wisely from the third force parties.

I feel we are on the verge of making history - this is the first time we have so many viable third-party candidates, but as usual, we will settle between two mediocre choices, then complain about their lack of vision in the next 4 years.

NgeneUkwenu:
Only corrupt Nigerians are United in support of a Criminal PDP Chief Justice...

Thunder fire all of them.

OK, so he is criminal (which I'm not debating for or against); the Constitution outlines how to deal with it, which has not been followed. A simple majority in Senate is required, which was not obtained. The National Judicial Council itself said they will look upon the matter on 28th, so on what basis is Buhari able to suspend or remove?

He should follow due process, and not strong arm his choices. BTW, has Senate confirmed his choice?

This smacks of stacking the decks before an election, and is - at the very least - a faux pas, if not outright tyrannical.

Please PMB, you have served your country (I can't say you've done it well, but there you are)... thanks and have a good rest of your life. Can't wait for Feb 16.

jameskey:
And when it comes to election you will not vote for him and you want his to treat every body equally.No work No pay.

He is elected to be president of the entire country. The ballot does not say: "president of the people who vote for me". Once you're elected, you stop being a partisan candidate, and you take all citizens as your own. Won't that even be an excellent way to guarantee your re-election?

Toluabigr8:
say no to tribalism bro

I want to, but my president is decidedly tribal, ignoring all the wisdom in our federal character, and our history of taking steps to forge a more inclusive, united country. Most, if not all previous Nigerian presidents have been inclusive.

How will my concerns get voiced when none of the ministers in charge share a common experience with me? How will they make decisions that have relevance for me?

Amumaigwe:
So because Kwara is in North Central and Yorubas occupy the South West, therefore, there is no indigenious Yoruba in Kwara?

You have a point there, but I think when people think in terms of appointments, there are distinctions in people's minds.

Take for instance, if a Yoruba person from Kwara/Ilorin was appointed minister, would people from Oyo count it towards their own appointment quota? Or will they say, "no... we also want a person from Yorubaland." They would accept to count a person from Osun, Ogun, etc... but Kwara... that's middle-belt appointment. I think that's what's happening here about Okiro too...

Abi what do you think?

Toluabigr8:
when they are doing good things they are ibo buh if it is d oda way round they are not ibo hypocrisy of d highest order.... Rivers is not SS

We didn't mention SS or SE. Okiro is not an Igbo man.
Edo is in SS, but would you call a Benin person Igbo?

I think he did an excellent job, but if somebody says "Okiro is Igbo, so people should be happy for the Igbo appointment", that's as misinformed as claiming that because a "Nupe person was appointed, Sokoto people should be happy for the Hausa appointment". There's so much wrong with that last statement.

I'm not Igbo, so I'm not claiming or disclaiming somebody.

Toluabigr8:
You mean people like MIKE OKIRO

Not appointed by Buhari, so not relevant to this discussion.
He isn't Igbo BTW, he's Egbema from Rivers.

Tallesty1:
This world is a snake pit bro, everyone fights for territory.

I can't wait to be abused like this before taking action. Raise your hand in an attempt to slap me and I will finish your plan on your face.

I am not a gentle man at all

Akuruoulo:
He deserves the beating. His an idiot

The trouble for him is that as a Black Man in America (which is where I think this is), if he touches her, he could be looking at arrest, court proceedings, and possibly jail time, even if he was provoked like this. Totally not worth it.

The guy is real tolerant and didn't lose his cool, which we commend, but why didn't other people restrain her? I mean, she kept going and going... and the sad thing is if he so much as pushed her, she would start claiming victim and crying for police. Women in yankee abuse the situation... it's best just to avoid wahala cuz they crazy.

The sad part is he could be on probation for all you know, and this woman knows it. He does not want a silly woman to land him back in jail. It happens a lot that a woman knows if you do something you will get into big trouble, so they keep taunting and provoking.

All one can do is walk away, ask for people to help and restrain her, and avoid her ass in future, even if it makes you look silly. People abusing him will not be around to bail him out or pay lawyer fees.

I don't mean to be an ass, but who cares? She's not an elected leader, nor appointed minister or director.

Funny, it seems stealing 500 Naira used pant is now worse than stealing 50k?

ebuk4real:
No doubt that. My message is if only Dangote got 75billion forex support, how much did his contemporaries got?

How many of his contemporaries are actively building a USD $15 Billion project, with confirmed work on the ground, and a solid commitment from all stakeholders? If somebody like Innoson was building something of this scale, and didn't get the same level of support, then we can compare and contrast.

Of course, CBN's commitment is a result of lobbying and requests, just like in other part of the world. I don't think the Fed in the US, or Bank of China will just support a random business without lobbying, phone calls, and visits. If his contemporaries don't ask, they won't get, and it's up to them to complain that they are not getting the level of support they need.

CBN has said simply: you bring this type of investment - which obviously needs a ton of forex - and we're here to help. It's a sign to other investors, local and foreign; to Dangote's suppliers in Europe, India, and Asia; to members of the foreign press; to shareholders in Dangote locally and abroad; and especially to naysayers in European and American industrial communities whose business would suffer because of this refinery: this project is not going to fail, and the Government has the facility to support it.

ebuk4real:

Padi padi government...

You may say so, but governments in developed countries give subsidies, tax breaks, special financial arrangements in the name of progress and employment. It wasn't even so long ago the US government bailed out (as in just dashed them money) to American car companies and banks.

Sakamaje:
Atiku is so lucky. He's the only Fulani/Muslim igbos don't hate.

You don't get to be loved because of luck... it's the result of how he has carried himself all this while. We dislike PMB because of his disdain and disrespect. You would not know that PMB is a president of all Nigeria based on the way he talks about other people who don't belong to his side, those he appoints, those he associates with, where contracts are done, and even places he visits.

Thank God the current CBN governor was appointed before he became president, otherwise our economy would have been in the shitter.

LuciferVirgin:
Fool

Now which was the best decision?
Killing yourself or killing everyone else?

My perish for lack of wisdom.

*spits

Well, if I was one of the people whose death was averted by his self-sacrificing action, I would be very very thankful and grateful. In saner climes, we would gather and assist with burial and or assist his family in some small way.

RIP to the unlucky hero.
