4get all this bullshit u are writing 4 him
Hausa man na Hausa man, they no dey change,, whether all of dem go Harvard, Stanford or fuckford
For more than 40 years, Hausa niggers have led this country, but see where we still are
BORN TO RULE is their mentality, but guess what never more

Any fool from Nairaland who votes 4 this sourface should not complain when Naija is islamized like Turkey

NB Someone should draw a cartoon of the Prophet of Peace with Lady gaga and Rihanna, and see his true colour

Dankwambo ko
Dambruba ni

Dankwambo is not a Hausa man, he is Tera by tribe.
Gombe state is like 40% christian in population and most christians from Gombe love Dankwambo cos all this while he has been governor, he has never discriminated against them.

Dankwambo's mother is even a christian. About half of his kinsmen are christians. So, this man has no problem at all. He is very detribalized.

mrde:
His wife is Tera not him sir. He's Bolewa

Bolewa people are from Dukku LGA. He is from Yamaltu/Deba and they are Tera people over there.

MitrikDenholm:
Nope. He's Fulani.

No he is not! He is Tera from Yamaltu/Deba. Most Terawa know this and thus identify with him.

StaffofOrayan:
Once again it boils down to an identity crisis, 99% of history books even in Africa starts with slavery, and hollywood keeps reinforcing that almost once or twice a year, EVERY YEAR, movies about Ancient Egypt are played by whites, that does a number on your psyche, who are we? what have we achieved? why are there pyramids in Enugu? Oba of Benin's Pyramid? the fortress at Ijebu, etc, we are missing in history or stored in British museums! They never make it to Hollywood movies, just Africans naked and being whipped, So subconsciously we have adopted the mentality of slaves, we are extremely poor in spirit, we have no heroes, a 60 years old man can't mention a hero, that gets even worse in the political arena, zero role model, it's so bad the meme I dropped was of a quote from Winston Churchill, no Nigerian politician is worth quoting.
Our identity crisis is so bad we cling to stupid meaningless titles like its a price, you hear an 'educated' man call him Chief Dr Evangelist Adeleye esq. or Chief Imam Alhaji Eng Lukman, we hold tight to tribes, clan, and religion, even though we understand none, because when a black man gets money/power, those are mostly the first things he despises. He wants to first move away from people that look like him, wants to dress diff, even change his colour if he could. African Americans are worst off, their history starts on the shores of Africa with chains and sad songs, their heroes are freedom fighters who were all killed. We subconsciously unknowingly think we are nothing so we desire the flashiest things, we hope that would somehow make us different from everybody else,
Lastly do you realize West Africa uses the British curriculum? So we can forget about having any pride in past history that doesn't show Lord Luggard and Flora Shaw as our heroes. And don't forget white Jesus and Arabic Muhammad.
That said, all Nigeria needs is just one governor that would open the youth's eyes to good sensible living, people would start to demand more. Are we going to get that? Highly doubt it, why? Our leaders are so poor in spirit they become freemasons, freemasonry creates an elite, elites look out for themselves.

John Kuffuor, president of Ghana, Jerry J. Rawlings, his predecessor, Omar Hadj Bongo, president of Gabon, and Paul Biya, president of Cameroon. Others are Blaise Campaore, president of Burkina Faso, Idris Deby, president of Chad, Mamadou Tanja, president of Niger, Denis Sassou Nguesso, president of Congo Brazaville, his predecessor, Pascal Lissouba and Robert Guei, a general and late head of state of Ivory Coast, South African parliament is built on Masonic lodge, so no need to ask if Mandela was a mason, Koffi Annan, and tons of Nigerians, the same people that enslaved us, our so called leaders are bowing down for them in secret meetings and selling us out.

Yeah, you are right with your points.
Thank God for people like you and I who still learn history on our own and would not accept everything fed to us from the western media hook, line and sinker.

The Nigerian society needs very heavy re-orientation, and I am happy that most of we the youths are realizing this. Realizing problems and mistakes is the first step to finding a solution. I don't know about other people, but for me, I sincerely hope to cause/mobilize a change in the nearest possible future.
I'm so disgusted with the lackadaisical, non-challance and visionless attitude of our fathers and their generation. Well, maybe because we are in a more developed age of enlightenment and technology which has given many of we the youths the platform to realize the mistakes of our fathers and do something about it.

yemi15:
Now, this is a worthy presidential candidate, I know my vote for him will not be a waste, will have clear conscience and will be able to sleep deeply at night with that vote.

Don't care if he is Fulani, someone this educated can not obviously be a bigot.

I urge other Nigerians to join this train of progress by pledging your votes to him once he becomes a presidential candidate.

My 2 cents.

Dankwambo is not fulani. He is Tera by tribe.

NwaAmaikpe:



The pronunciation of his surname even disqualifies him.
We are tired of Northern presidents,
Tired of Fulanis..


Let's pitch tent with our own.
With a man who has a track record of great performance.
A man in a class of his own.
Good with the sax
Good with resources
An all-rounder and Nigeria's own Bill Clinton.

Donald Duke.

FYI Dankwambo is not a fulani man. He is Tera by tribe.
I wonder how come many people don't know this.

MonPro:
What is Dankwabo's tribe? Is he fulani?

No, he is Tera by tribe, from Yamaltu/Deba LGA.
Funny enough, his mother is even a Christian. Half of his tribesmen are christians.
So, he is definitely more from a detribalized society.

xandy84:
So Fulani has a well educated man and present Buhari as president? I'm not a fan of Hausa/Fulani supremacy over other tribes in Nigeria but this dude looks qualify and his previous posts he held told stories of trusted and tested achiever and not Buhari who is associated with failures and nepotism.

Dankwambo is not Hausa fulani. He is Tera by tribe.

peterphd:
Is he fulani??

No, he is Terawa by tribe from Yamaltu/Deba LGA, Gombe state. Most people from Gombe are not fulanis. However fulanis form like 35% of the state.

nwabobo:
Empirical evidence suggests that while the Anioma part of Delta leads in education, innovation and enterprise, the others lead in pipeline vandslisation, militancy and amnesty accruals.

Why do you guys only and always brag about Anioma? What about Rivers state that is and continues to be dominated by Igbo speaking tribes?

Are Anioma people also the reason why Edo state ranks high?

CSTR2:
Without the aniomas ,delta would be a full blown militant state.

What about Rivers state where the Igbo speaking tribes are majority? What is it? Do they ever get any educational relevance in any ranking?

WORLDPEACE:
You don't decide who is north and who is not.
The northern region is still the same as when the colonial masters created the region. And the south still comprises the same people.
Any other thing apart from that is your own wishful thinking.

What you are saying is rubbish.

The average man from Kogi, Benue and Kwara does not even know that he is a northerner or acknowledges himself as one. He does not see any bond with himself and Hausa people, rather most of them see themselves closer to Yorubas, Edos & Igbos. They don't know the meaning of Arewa cos they do not understand a word of Hausa.

Those of us from Taraba, Plateau, Nasarawa & Southern Kaduna who understand Hausa and used to identify as Arewa people, today, a lot of us see that to be very useless! And that is why you see that Buhari has never won elections in Plateau, Nasarawa & Taraba.

donnie:
I hope this man has finally shelved his presidential ambition. His speeches are becoming worse by the day.

I once supported him for his restructuring stand. Now even that one get k-leg.

Me too,I once supported him, but I have discovered that he is nothing but a desperate hypocrite.

ImmaculateJOE:
Am sure by this Atiku's statement he has loose more than 1million votes from south and north minority.
..
I will spread this information tomorrow in Yola market particularly to Christians of the north

Exactly. Atiku has lost our support with this comment.

WORLDPEACE:
If south vote for a southern candidate and the north vote for their own, who would win?
They are more than you are. Don't let emotions becloud your reasoning.

Not if the south can sway a large chunk of votes from the middlebelt.

Or do you think that people from Benue, Kogi, Plateau, Taraba, Kwara, Nasarawa and even Southern Kaduna would go just because Hausa fulanis say go?
Middlebelt masses have largely lost interest in any bond or affiliation to the north. You better know this.

FarahAideed:
With this statement Atiku has disqualified himself from the polls and won't be having my vote....We don't want a leader who can't address a problem for what it is but would rather try to play on words.... every Fulani attack is carried out with the explicit approval of Miyetti Allah which always follows any agenda that the majority of Fulanis want ....Fulanis have used terror and vengeance as the pivot for their expansion for years and they all support it so for Atiku who I thought should know better to now start using clever words to shield a collection of criminals shows he doesn't have the fairness and equity required to be a leader of a secular state like Nigeria ...Nigeria cannot afford another ethini Jingoist in power

Exactly me too. My support for Atiku has been destroyed today. It really seems like a fulani man is always a fulani man.
Like Atiku, Like Buhari.

StaffofOrayan:
Why do black people still believe this nonsense? Please don't raise your kids on crap
https://classroom.synonym.com/1600s-were-portuguese-trading-14076.html
''.....Portuguese exploration along the West African coast began in the 15th century in the course of Portugal's search for a shorter route to Asia. Although trade with the Africans had not been the goal of their voyage, the Portuguese found that Africa had much to offer. African cities rivaled those of Europe in organization, and African agricultural systems were significantly advanced. The Africans had desirable goods to trade including ivory, gold and pepper. By the 1600s, however, the kingdoms of Africa had established trade with the Portuguese in a far more lucrative export: African slaves.''

I think black people in general are suffering from identity crisis,we don't know who we are and we have no real heroes, even in our afterlife we are still hoping a foreign messiah would save us, that's why a totally fictional movie like Black Panther gave blacks worldwide joy. Now in the bid for identity, a lot of Nigerians have rallied behind the Nigerian flag, and the nation itself, that would be hard to shake off. We have no history besides some migration tidbits, our history books start from 1960! Imagine you educating your kids on his forefathers, you would describe them as cannibals and mass murderers, but if a white/arab or Asian describes his ancestors, it would be full of glowing admiration.

Asia was colonized but the young men and leaders weren't carted off in their millions to slave away. Besides most Asian countries don't have democracies or they recently switched to democracy, and their history goes back 1000's of years that they teach in their schools, they speak their own language with pride, but Africans have been made to believe we had no influence on history even though Egyptians/Hebrews were black, NEVER heard that in school, I had to do my own research to find out.

Still, we can do better as a people.

I think you are misjudging me. Who told you that I do not acknowledge the great history and achievements of Black African empires and kingdoms of the past?
I very much do bro and I know a whole lot about them and take pride in then more than you think I do.

However, as much as I acknowledge the positive side of our history, you do not expect me to completely ignore the negative parts do you? Some of these negative parts are still working against us till date.
Europeans, Asians and everyone else had negative parts of their histories and I don't think they deny it do they? I am speaking with my fellow black people and that is why I can freely open up on the negatives of our history. If I was speaking with an Asian or White, you don't expect me to talk like this, do you? I would definitely defend my people.

Asians did not sell themselves as slaves, but Africans did, and beside I see no reason how this affects our present day progress.
Most Asians already had a great sense of nationhood and homogenous states before Europeans colonized them, this is why they largely retained their languages after colonialism. Asians to a large extent already had homogenous religions too, which defined them.
No region of Africa had a homogenous native religion with widespread adherence, whereas the Arabs and much of the middle east had Islam as an identity and a somewhat unifying tool, South Asia had hinduism while East and South-East Asia had Buddhism.

Besides, It is only in most parts of West Africa that our indigenous languages are not officialized and promoted. This I think is largely due to heavy plurality of ethnicity.
However in most Southern & East African countries, their native languages share equal official and literacy status with English.

espn:
[b]Iwobi, 62, came to Italy in the 1970s on a student visa, got married to his Italian wife [/b]and became a councilor for the party in 1995. Iwobi said that he wasn’t against immigration but that he wanted people to travel to Italy.





Is he not an illegal immigrant too? He was there on a student visa

How is student visa illegal migration? Pls stop embarrassing yourself in public.

StaffofOrayan:
To be frank, Europeans deserve no peace for raping our continent, making our kings figureheads, lumping tribes together and giving us democracy, perhaps the most corrupt form of government in the world, US with it's phony wars keeps pushing these terrorists to West Africa, that said Africa needs to do better, Iwobi should know, something chased him out of Nigeria!

I disagree with you.

Before Europeans came to Africa, were Africans not conquering, massacring, enslaving, cannibalizing, human sacrificing (which we do till date) and looting each other?

Are we Black people sub-humans? If the Europeans lumped us together, what stops us from sitting down as humans to renegotiate our existence as nations?

Africa was not the only colonized area. Asia was heavily colonized too by the same Europeans. How come many of them are making tremendous progress today compared to Africa?

The owner of the place doesn't want you there. They have every right to send you out.

olaboy1:
That’s how Europeans are, it’s in their DNA and they will never change from the rulership mentality of their fore fathers.
You see them donating money to Africa like they give a sh$t about us.

Denmark is currently trying to pass a law where they will have a facility or colony in North Africa to send their asylum seekers to and even when they are granted asylum they still can’t move to Denmark. Africa needs to wake up and use the social media to name and shame countries dragging us down. One wonders why Denmark is not considering Switzerland or Australia as the dumping ground of asylum seekers.

We need to learn how to maximize our resources and eat what we produce and forget about European aids, they think so lowly of Africans and we shouldn’t entrust our lives into their hands.

One day I believe Africa will rise.

As much as I blame the Europeans, I still give a large chunk of the blame to our people for being a very stupid and foolish race. We have refused to learn for so long now.
Look at many Asian countries who were as poor and extremely underdeveloped as us decades ago, today they are doing far better, making steady progress and rapidly catching up with the west.
How many African countries are really progressing?

I think we deserve whatever shitt we get. Enough of blaming the Europeans.

mfm04622:
Who go free make dem no use his/her language teach his/her children? The "larger regional" languages Na him wahala go start! Even the major languages. Will you use Ibadan Yoruba or Ekiti Yoruba or Abeokuta Yoruba to teach?
What about the time you will need to translate words in English that don't have equivalent in Local languages? Especially scientific words. Especially when teaching organic chemistry in Local languages. Hmmm! Not just worth the trouble. Government should just enforce students passing at least one local languages. In fact, in Cameroon, to gain admission into tertiary institutions, one must pass Mathematics, French and English. We should include a local language as compulsory in ours.

The major regional languages have already been officialized, concluded and agreed on some time ago. I think they were only Kanuri, Ijaw, Tiv, Edo and Efik-Ibibio.
All other minorities were expected to fall under any of these categories or make a case for their own languages (if they would be considered).

As for the larger languages. Kano dialect of hausa has already and always been the official hausa dialect. Oyo yoruba the official yoruba dialect, while Igbo Izugbe the official Igbo dialect. All yorubas, hausas and Igbos are educated in these 3 official dialects irrespective of which ever subgroup they hail from.

DUDE, IT IS GOING TO BE YOUR FUNERAL.

THE WHOLE THING IS SHORT SIGHTED AND FANTASY GONE WRONG.

IN THIS DAY AND AGE, WITH ALL THE INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY, U THINK THAT IS POSSIBLE?

I THINK THE ENTIRE NIGERIA WILL USE THIS TO THEIR ADVANTAGE AND START OCCUPYING VILLAGES IN SOUTHWEST AND CLAIMING INDIGENE.

LAND IS A PRECIOUS COMMODITY AND VERY LIMITED.

THE TINY YORUBA SOUTHWEST AREA WILL BE QUICKLY OVER POPULATED, WITH NO ROOM FOR EXPANSION.

POPULATION GROWTH WITHOUT LAND EXPANSION IS WAR.

WHOSE LAND ARE YORUBA GOING TO STEAL?

IS IT DAHOMEY? NUPE? EDO? EBIRA?

WILL U CREATE ANOTHER LEGISLATION TO COPY THE CHINESE ONE BABY/CHILD POLICY?

FYI I am not a yoruba person. I am from the middlebelt, born and bred in Delta state. I am just giving you the most possible case scenario. Take it or leave it.
The yorubas are no fools to watch their heritage destroyed like that. They will take measures.

mfm04622:
Not workable. Imagine having 200 pupils in Primary 1 and you have 70 different mother tongues? Where will you get the lands in cities to build schools? How will the schools be managed? Is it efficient to have teachers teach 5 pupils? Or even 1? Where will you find the teachers? It is because there are not enough teachers that Youth Corpers are being used to teach. Imagine the efforts required to translate each approved textbooks into 500 different language? Also this will also limit interactions between pupils and students if different ethnic groups since time spent in class will be spent with only there fellow students from same ethnic group. It would have been different if we all speak same language like others (Russians, German, Italian, etc) who speak same language

The policies were not meant for every language in Nigeria. It was more or less for the 3 major languages and perhaps other larger regional languages.

IN THE SHORT TERM, AMBODE THINK HE IS SMART BUT WAT ABAOUT THE LONG TERM?


BLACK MAN NEVER GRASP LONG TERM OUTCOME.


IT WILL ULTIMATELY BACKFIRE.


ALL NIGERIA TRIBES NOW FLUENT IN YORUBA IN SMALL SOUTHWEST REGION WHERE IT IS VALID.


THEY WILL BEAT YORUBAS TO DEATH OVER LAND ISSUES.


EVERYDAY YORUBA WILL BE FIGHTING AND THE WORST PART IS EVERYBODY WILL BE SPEAKING YORUBA AND CLAIMING INDIGENE.

It is not as easy as you think bro.

The non yorubas will definitely integrate into yoruba culture, this will make the yoruba nation more populous.

Go to Kano and see, majority of the hausa speaking muslims you see in Kano are not from Kano state, many of them are not even Hausas by tribe! Many of them are Nupes, Kanuris, Shuwa, Baburr, Fulanis, Gwaris, Ebira, Igala, Auchi and even yoruba muslims. Yes! There are yoruba muslims who have integrated into Hausa culture and identity in Kano state!

tobida:
WHETHER IGBO SING YORUBA OR SPEND ONE DAY LEARNING YORUBA WILL NEVER MAKE THEM YORUBA.


HOWEVER WAT IT WILL DO FOR THEM IS OPEN MORE OPPORTUNITIES IN SOUTHWEST REGION AND THEY WILL SPREAD FURTHER TO YORUBA VILLAGES.

IGBOS SPEAK GERMAN AND ITALIAN IN THOSE COUNTRIES, EVEN POLISH, BUT YET REMAIN IGBO.


AMBODE PLAYING ETHNIC CARD AHEAD OF ELECTION IS ALLOWED.

You are very wrong with this view.
Growing up somewhere outside your native land has great impacts on you.

Go and observe that Igbos who grew up in Onitsha and Igbos who grew up in Lagos or in the north do not behave the same way at all. They behave very differently.

I am from the north-central and I have observed this very very well. Igbos who grew up in Jos where I am from are very different from those that came from the east.

I am from Jos but I grew up in Warri and I can tell you that I am very different from most of my people in the way we act, think and almost everything else.

Thank you so much for sharing op @shiftback.
You can't believe how ignorant a lot of us have been.

I've always noticed something fishy about these power banks and their so called ' mAH'.
I think the original mAH of a power bank is even far lower than your calculations.
I once had a 20k mAH power bank and it charged my 4k mAH phone full only twice when it is fully charged.

Likewise my current powerbank of 13k mAH charges my 3k mAH phone full only twice when it is fully charged, and according to your formula, the original capacity of the powerbank was supposed to be 9162 mAH. ......
I'd love to hear your opinion, do you have an idea what could be wrong here?

I will say it for the umpteenth time that there is something patently wrong with the Blackman's DNA/gene...

You can see reasonable human beings exhibiting the candour/forthrightness to oppose an unfair/injudicious system even when they are the beneficiaries.

Come to Nigeria and see how doctors are capitalizing on the crappy system here to sustain the status quo. They hardly care that other medical professionals, who by the way do most of the leg/dirty work, hardly get a look in from the system. Doctors have been know to fight any attempt to raise the working conditions of other health workers in Nigeria...

It is rife in this clime. People are at top in companies and establishments see those at the lower rung as foot mats only meant to be trampled upon. How pathetic...

You have said nothing but the truth.
What I wonder is, 'how did the black man find himself here'?, did we not evolve as humans like whites or are we a sort of lesser or inferior beigns?

Mogidi:
Though I like Dankwambo, the time is not right for him to contest. It's either Atiku, Lamido, Kwankwaso or even Tambuwal.

Absolute rubbish. Instead of us to have Kwankwaso or Lamido as president, we rather remain with Buhari. These 2 people are no different from Buhari. Kwankwaso is even worse than Buhari in terms of tribalism and religious bigotry.

Atiku is the only reasonable option here. Cos he is far more enlightened and educated, detribalized and is a well proven successful and seasoned business man and educationist.
