Useless talk from a minister. Quite a shame

EdEdEddy:
Judas betrayed Jesus to fulfill the scripture, me question is what happens to him?

Peter deniedJesus and later cried for forgiveness but Judas never asked for forgiveness.

Hmmm ok

Dasuks:


Before u get all excited, stop with the half assed analysis. North/se beat Awolowo in 79 and 83. Whether u factor in the awkward judgment for 79 or the absurdities of 1983, in Nigeria what counts is who is sworn in come inauguration day. And the gap was already very convincing. Only issue was spread. The eventual runoff 2nd round would have been prepackaged by the military for Shagari either way. An Awo victory as slim as that was, would simply not be announced. Nigeria was designed for federative leadership not regional..

That being said u are conflating Abiola's victory with his identity... lol. That was a man who built contacts (even in the East, he won Anambra and averaged more than 40% in Igboland) nationally, over a decades long empire building career. In fact, up until the 1992 ban of old politicians most Yorubas didnt even consider him. He held no real regard for Awolowo or his political wing. His victory was borne from his peculiar persona and strategy. Ofc he knew getting his kin on board was only a matter of time. Ultimately it all worked out. Who was Bashir Tofa ? His money and worth were only for him and his family. In fact, I will go as far as saying as there is no equivalent of Abiola right now in this country.

The Igbos aligned with PDP from 1999 and I would also point out that even tho their Ekwueme lost out to OBJ they gave OBJ all of their votes. Same OBJ that won only 12 percent in Lagos, barely 25 percent anywhere else in the west and only about 30 percent in his home state of Ogun. Lol.. the only successful Yoruba at the polls was more of a northern, SS and Eastern choice than a SW selection... so one could even argue that the AG/UPN Yoruba core political center has never produced a President lol..

Hence, it didnt matter where GMB picked Okadigbo or Ume Ezeoke or Ojukwu ran etc. Who were this men to the bigger picture of SE political positioning. Igbos threw their hat in with the PDP, albeit a Northern oligarchy dominated structure... the irony... I think what u should ask urself is that why has Igbo voting not necessarily followed the ethnic identity of their preferred candidates. What elite resolutions govern these choices. Perhaps, what cultural norms or presumptions and the like. Not the BS u have up here, throwing things together to fit ur narrative. I will repeat by the logic of " what votes do u bring to the table? What is ur contribution?" that is so popular now, OBJ essentially owed the SW nothing. The rigging and machinations in the SS and SE almost made it seem like he was their son. Look at his Rivers numbers for example. Nigeria is actually less tribalized than trolls like u make it seem on NL.

Igbos were on the right side of 79, 83, 99, 03, 07 and 11 some of u on here make it seem like u dont know that the only time the SW votes correlated with the winning party was in 93, 11,15 and this past 2019. If we were to go all the way back to 1959 and 1964 federal elections, the story is the same, with both Igbo and Yoruba losing out in '64. And the West losing its own regional control in the 1965 regionals.

1979 and 1983 on their own invalidate ur claim. Stop getting carried away with temporary political success. With the emergence of Goodluck Jonathan in 2011, almost every zone in the country has technically been at the center of power over the country's history. They can all say "been there, done that". Wait for 2023, 27, 31 and beyond before drawing ur conclusions.

thank you for schooling the empty headed OP. His myopic brain failed to inform him that SE and North have paired severally to produce the leadership of both houses of the national assembly.

Juliusmalema:
Thank God you said Imo, Abia and Enugu because over here he is useless to us


I don't know what exactly he will offer us.

Oga its not about benefitting anything from him. He is equally useless to the three states i mentioned but they just like him.

Some like him because of PDP, some like him because of his outspokeness tp the FG.

The three states i mentioned are states i am frequently in touch with and i am sure of them, I am not frequently in touch with Anambra and Ebonyi so i cant say for sure.. Thats why i didnt mention them.

Let me state it clear that Wike and his Ikwere people have nothing to offer us in Igbo land. In politics, Ikwere can produce not more than two senators and few house of resps members compared to us that produces 15 senators and good number of reps.

Ikwere cannot produce governor or minister constantly like we constantly produce five governors and atleast five ministers in every administration.

The people that are supporting him in the SE are not doing for any political gain as you can see.

Dear Goverrnor Wike,

You have been enjoying the massive support of the masses in Rivers state and even in the south east states(i am very sure of IMO< ABIA<ENUGU) since the beginning of your Journey to the government house.

This massive support of the masses have been shielding you against your opponents and they envy you too.

Unfortunately some of the decisions you have taken during this covid-19 lockdown period is anti-masses and shameful.

As a result of these, you have terribly started losing the masses (who are your shield) and gradually you are opening doors for your opponents to deal with you.

You think your opponents have stopped desiring to produce governor? Dont you know that they are not afraid of you, rather they are afraid of the massive support of the masses you have.?

you are pushing the masses to your opponents thru your bad actions thereby empowering them to deal with you. Wike dont make that costly mistake o.

I advice you to retrace your steps and win back the masses if you want to survive the battle. Dont think that your opponents are sleeping. You can see the moves they ve started making now that they ve seen that you are losing your massive support?

BE WISE O. JUST BE WISE

Gazzy88:
You're the psycho patient here. You came with a nice thread of bicyclists and you are now posting random pictures of your region. What for? So we can all move down there or what? I still don't get it. Seun is a Yoruba man and he owns nairaland which means you're the intruder here and whatever you do here is a traffic for this great forum. So the earlier you realise that you're the dumbass on nairaland, the better. If you like post pictures of owerri looking like Paris, me and my kinsmen won't leave our progressing region to that low-igr area. Most of those buildings belong to criminals like Evans dem. Hope you know that. Continue fooling yourself, OK?

It seems your brain is locked down from reasoning well.

somebody is showcasing his beautiful state and you are here opening your empty mouth to tell him that there is no gain in what he is doing. I pity you.

Do you know what tourism means?

Do you know that tourism generates huge money?

Do you know that hotels in Owerri gets fully booked every weekend by people who come from various parts of the country to enjoy their weekend and prepare themselves for the task ahead pf them in the new week?

Your small brain tells you that only Seun your Yoruba brother is gaining..

Those people who visit Owerri during the weekend, dont they pay for their hotel bill, food and do shopping there?

Receive sense. Dont talk when business men are ta;king pls

Good job. God bless my state.

Lets hope that Hope will not fall our hands

frankmoney:
Confused man ..are you sure this man knows what he is doing . Only in Nigeria we see lockdown having breaks in between , every other country slowly removes thier lockdown but our own na push and start

Oga shut up. We must not do our lockdown exactly like others.

GOFRONT:
Na waoo....Can you imagine....And to think some people were busy tapping into Emoney's financial success not minding his source of wealth.....

When you say Vanity upon Vanity, they pick offence...

Your reply clearly shows you did not read the post.

Stop being too lazy to read

Arrewa:
Stop deceiving yourself and feeling important because of the Nigerien migrants following trailers to the south for survival!

An average Hausafulani don't travel to the south except those in military, Navy, tailoring and those changing currency

Those guys are not from northern Nigeria... Yes they speak Hausa and are muslim

We share border with them in kastina and Borno!

We have large number of them here in kano hustling...

So stop feeling important when Nigeria divide you'll not see a single northerner in your region!

You'll be the ones trooping up north for survival...

What do you have in the south east that will make northerners migrant to Biafra land after division??
You need the north for survival...Biafra land is landlocked,Your land can't even produce maize, when this country divide Na there reality go hit una!

Niger Delta will be on their own... Even with the Niger Delta oil... South east is still the capital poverty of the south what if Nigeria come divide?

Stop deceiving yourself whit these trailer dramas... I watch the video where they were intercepted... The security agents tag them kano indigenes whitout asking them for their IDs or interviewing them!

Stop feeling too important... An average Hausafulani will never travel to the east unless those who have very important thing to do there!

I have been to all the eastern states including Asaba...

80% of those people you're calling ndi Hausa are Niger migrants...

They're more Igbos in the north than Hausafulanis in the entire south

See as they're Gullibly shouting that's true

I just pray for this country to divide sooner! Even if na temporary division...

My friend from Enugu called me that the price of food stuffs is now very high that people can no longer afford to eat... That this shit should end so that food will start flowing down east! And these people are not on lockdown like Lagos and Kano... But the price of food alone is making them not to feed

I laughed... >

Upon the fact that Northerners are pushing food down south with the help of Nigerein smugglers... I just pray for this lockdown to intensify and last for 3 months...

The north is abundantly blessed... We just need to invest more on agriculture... And we can feed the whole of Africa!

Oga sstop messing up yourself abeg.

Now you are saying they are people from Niger.

When it is census time they will be counted as Hausa people.

When it is election they will vote as Hausa people.

Now that it has to do with negative thing you have started vomiting trash and branding them Niger.

Stop disgracing yourself

Lifted2000:
2023 Osinbajo for President

2023 Soludo for Vice President

South cznnot produce both president and the vice.

it is shared between north and south, Muslim and christian.

Lostz:


they actually make sure the present one is a success before thinking about the next one

It is actually the early preparations that produces the well organised world cup that you see.

Serious countries also start early to prepare their players.

It is Nigeria that usually does dying-minutes preparations

demitola:
This Osinbajo man or no one else. What is Peter Obi?

The problem with some of you Naiiralanders is that you bring insult in every thread.

Just say the candidates you want.

forget about the one you dont want.

Is it hard for you?

Genoa:

2019 was a free and fair election, majority voted for Buhari.

Hence, your opinion is a complete trash.

Although I wasted my vote on Atiku.

I disagree with you. 2019 election was not free and fair election but the truth is that even if it was free and fair election, the possibility of Buhari winning is still there.

I agree with you on Atiku whom i supported too. This time around I am for southern candidate of any one of Osibanlo, Peter Obi, Soludo and Fashola

SLAP44:


The only people that has the time and space for this lazy postulations are people from the SW and north who are scared of the Niger Delta feeding bottle being yanked from their mouths.

Op, find a job in your Oshogbo enclave and stop disturbing us.

What is this one saying?

Pls this thread is not for IPOB members. Just shift abeg.

Lostz:




you will start discussing about 2027 in 2023

Preparation for football world cup starts as soon as the ongoing one ends.

That is when FIFA names the country to host the next one coming up in four years time.

Thats how good planning is done.. START VERY EARLY TO PREPARE.

MinorityOpinion:
Peter Obi

complete your nomination by making it four candidates. Two from each side.

Thats the instruction

Lostz:
2023 is still far. you guys have already voted in a lifeless duara man.

let us enjoy the duara man first before you think of 2023

We were against Buhari but others said they want him. Now all of us are passing through pains.

Anyways, we have to move forward

2023 is not far for a good planner. Discussions about it is already ongoing before now.

Lets do some sampling for 2023 presidency candidates from the south.

Each South East, South South and South West here should suggest four candidates. Two from SE and two from SW..

For me i suggest Peter Obi or Soludo.

For SW i suggest Osibanjo or Fashola..

Lets see if there are persons that are close to being consensus candidates in our region,

yugotee:
I think this is a great piece. Please read carefully and verify the revelations made here.


The problem with writing skewered history is that it equally misinforms its target: Kayode Esho was a great jurist, but Akunne Oputa was the "Socrates" of the Supreme court. Enahoro was a young editor, but Azikiwe made him that young editor with Osita Agwuna as his assistant, at his paper, the Southern Nigerian Defender in Ibadan, where my own father incidentally started as a rookie before shortly abandoning journalism for the stable berth of the civil service.

The myth of Awolowo as building the first this and that does not match the documented economic history of the period. Between 1954 and 1964, Eastern Nigeria was described as "the fastest growing economy in the world," by the Harvard Review; faster than China, faster than Singapore, and all the so-called "Asian Tigers." Awolowo is often credited with "free education". But no one yet has pointed out any surviving school buildings of the period built by Awo. But all over the East there were quality schools built by the various communities using the Town Development Unions from 1954, and acessing the matching grants of the Eastern Nigeria Development Corporation. And this was the East with the poorest revenue resources of any of the regions. The Mbaise secondary school exists, the National High School Okigwe exists, the Ngwa High school exists, the Enyiogugu Grammar School exists, etc. These were solid schools built all over the East with matching goverment grants. But where are the buildings of the Modern schools in Western Nigeria? They do not exist. They were makeshift.


The Catholic church forced the Azikiwe government from its scholarship program, but it is also on record, that the Eastern government was the only government in the world that invested 45% of its revenues in education. The East had the highest number of schools; the highest school enrollment; the broadest penetration of medical services; and the best modern road network in west Africa. Indeed if we look carefully, the only public hospitals and most of the schools still standing in the East today, at various stages of run down are the schools and hospitals built by Azikiwe/Okpara.


Every division of the East had a Joint Hospital as part of the Eastern Medical services. So it is often claimed Awo built the first television station; the first sky scraper, and the first Sports stadium, the liberty stadium in Ibadan. Well, these are prestige or white elephant investments. First, the Eastern Outlook, the government paper of Eastern Nigeria was the first newspaper established by any government in Nigeria, and it was of such quality and impact that the literacy level of Easterners, and the depth of public information retailed by Outlook was without compare. This is besides the fact that Western Nigerian Broadcast Services, WNBS-TV founded in 1958 only preceded the ENBC-TV founded in 1959, by only seven months. But Outlook preceded Sketch by about 15 years.


Now Azikiwe built the Onitsha Modern market, the first modern mall or trade emporium in West Africa. Onitsha was effectively Dubai before Dubai. People traveled all over Africa, from as far as the Congo and Sudan and Egypt, to come and buy and trade in Onitsha. The economic impact of this was humonguos. So, give me the vast Onitsha modern market over Cocoa House in Ibadan.


Azikiwe built the first Nigerian University at Nsukka with the first School of Law, the first School of Engineering, the first Business School; the first school of journalism, and the first school of music and performance, etc. By the time its first graduates took the Nigerian civil service exams in 1963, everybody began to raise the cry of "Igbo domination" starting with Akintola and Ayo Rosiji. Give me UNN over Liberty stadium. Azikiwe began the first modern library system in West Africa.


The East had a system of city libraries starting with the very modern Ziks Library in Enugu. I Literally grew up in the Umuahia Divisional Library. These libraries were built all over the East. Schools in the East were built with libraries. Moreover the Eastern Nigerian Library Board had a sysem of rural amd mobile libraries. There was nothing like it anywhere else in Nigeria: kids having library cards and able to borrow or order books from the public library. Give me the the first library over the first TV. I do not by this mean that Awolowo did not make his contributions, but the regular skewering of the facts, and angling of contemporary national narratives often makes it seem these days like the greatest contributor to the founding of Nigeria and its development is Awolowo and the Yoruba, when the actual facts speak differently.

The great Ibadan historian, Tekena Tamuno, was unambiguous in stating once at NIPPS, Jos, that "the Igbos are the makers of moderm Nigeria. When they abandoned their project, Nigeria collapsed." We must remind Nigerians, particularly Igbo children, daily of these fact, to achieve what Achebe called " a balance of stories." And that also means we must read beyond the surface of things. Babarinsa's Guardian essay is angled carefully to maintain a revisionist narrative. And that is to be always challenged, however innocent it might seem.


Even today, most Yoruba think that Awolowo founded the Universities of Ibadan and Lagos. No one has reminded them that it took Azikiwe's pressures for a university for Nigeria, in his meeting with Arthur Richards in 1946, that led to the cobstitution of the Eliot commision and subsequently the founding of the University College, Ibadan.


This fact is even clearly conveyed in Michael Crowder's eponymous book, The Story of Nigeria. Nsukka was Azikiwe's critique of what he felt to be the conceptual limitations of Ibadan. The University of Lagos was the result of NCNC's ideological contributions to the federal policy during the ill fated coalition government with the NPC. UNILAG was an NCNC project, shepherded by Aja Wachukwu as minister for education. Even the great UNILAG in her 50th anniversary failed to mention Prof Eni Njoku as the pioneer Vice Chancellor of the university, a man that layed the solid foundation of what made Unilag is today.


These facts must be made known and put as forcefully accross as possible. Again, until the lion tells his own story, the story of the hunt will belong to the hunter. Kabissa!
