For anyone who calls himself a "proud Nigerian", I ask you this:

How can you be proud to answer a British colonial name created in London in 1897?

How can your national identity be an imported English name?


How can a British journalist be the person who named you?

For those who do not know, there was nothing called "Nigeria" until 1897 when a British journalist called Flora Shaw wrote a piece in the London times about the British protectorates of the "Niger Area" in west Africa. She then joined the two words "Niger" and "Area" and referred to the people who lived around the River Niger as "Nigerians". The colonial office in London then adopted this name

Nearly 130 years later, we are still running with this imposed shameful colonial name.

joe54:
STFU
Does it matter.
They are probably trying to remind themselves of the slavery nigerians have subjected them to.

after4:
dem don start, igbo this igbos that, dem no go leave us alone yet dem sey we no dey important but dem no fit allow us drink water keep cup. you guys are obssessed with igbos

joe54 and after4 have no problem with gidgiddy talking about the name Nigeria, but when Nigerians start talking about the name Biafra, then you will want Nigerians to leave you guys alone.

Una wan dey dish out what una no fit accept.

ruggedtimi:
so to produce senator and house reps now na of the criteria to be a good president

So nah the only thing you see be that for the post wey you quote?

Creamypie:
Old tinubu, its either south east president or we give our votes to the north, just like u betrayed south when u made west to send their votes up north.

Who cares about una inconsequential votes? Vote whoever you like.

Tinubu will never step down.

We are all here to learn on Nairaland.
Don't allow people who know nothing about groups feed you with lies.

Nobody stop you from educating us with anything Nigeria on Nairaland.

Stop taking drugs for other peoples headache.

Nobody wants to learn about Ijaws in the Politics section. The Politics Section was created to talk about Politics not about learning about Ethnic Groups.

People like you are the problem of this country, always justifying una bullshit.

I'm sure there are sections created for talking about Ethnic Groups, if there is none, you Ijaws can create una forum and start talking about una tribe.

Nairaland Politics section is created for talking about Politics.

Atiku you are an Islamic fanatics.

You had no problem with the killing of Deborah Yakubu.

I fealt so sad watching the video

I wish I didn't see the video at all

Hizzy:
I want to ask this question
Do other countries that have Islam as a religion practice sharia law or it's only applicable in Northern Nigeria ?
Countries like Parkistan, Senegal, Egypt

Pakistani Muslims behave like Aboki Muslims. There are numerous countries that practice Sharia laws. In some lawless countries practising sharia like Nigeria, Pakistan etc such a thing done to Deborah Yakubu is allowed, but in some civilised countries practising sharia like the UAE, Qatar etc such an action is not allowed.

Chuksaluta:
What do we Nigerians want? A cultist gets sick all of a sudden in court but a Governor with balls is taking him head on, still we complain. I ask again, what do we want?

HolyHero:
A man accused of recruiting cultist to attack his own party secretariat shouldn’t be walking freely.

He has a chance to defend himself in court.. if he’s found innocent he can counter-sue the River state government..

Sponsoring cultism and inciting violence is a serious allegation…

Y’all are supporting him because y’all are cultist or hypocritical…

People like the accused are the ones that sponsor cultism that has resulted to the death of thousands of innocent people and destruction of properties…


If he’s innocent the court will vindicate him.

A Federal High Court have told the Police to set him free.

The police and the Government had no right to take him before a State high court again.

The guy should just head to the Appeal Court

Ijoh:
Who stop you from speaking for your tribe.

Will you tell others what to think

Apart from that all the things the Op wrote are fully correct.

So who the fvvck gives a dam about all this? You guys can create your own forum and start talking about Ijaws and stop disturbing us on Nairaland Politics section about Ijaws Issues. This is Nairaland Politics section, is not a section to promote ones ethnic group but a section to talk about Politics

They cry about Southern Politicians contesting for the ticket, but the fools have no problem with Northern Politicians

The South West and our brothers in the South South will contest for the ticket, may the best candidate win.

Who are this foolish things always disturbing the peace of Nairaland with Ijaw this and ijaw that.

Is Nairaland Politics section now a place to talk about ones ethnic grou

Some mumu go still dey talk about waivers

When Reno was telling them the truth, they were abusing him

Aboki99:
Following hate campaigns by Sunday Igboho, the entire South Western Nigeria erupted into an orgy of attacks against northerners in February 2021. Scores of Hausa/Fulani were attacked and set ablaze in South Western yoruba states.

At that time not even one Yoruba leader or governor came out to condemn the massacres of innocent northerners. Not even one!

Now fast forward to today when some crazy hoodlums decided to take laws into their own hands by killing one Debora Yakubu in Sokoto for alleged blasphemy.

Now the southerners are all up in verbal arms forgetting that they were as silent as dodo when the Igboho-inspired massacres of northerners in the South West of Nigeria took place in February 2021.

At that time, they kept silent with some even justifying the massacres. Now that the shoe is on other other foot, all he'll is let loose. While the killing of Deborah by crazy hoodlums is utterly reprehensible, the bone I have to pick with southerners and their leaders is :

If they truly value human lives, why were they silent when in February 2021 northerners were massacred in South Western States?

I need no insult but just a link of a South west governor or any notable personality therefrom who just condemned the atrocities against northerners in the SW in February 2021. If they didn't, why?

Did Fulanis kill Yorubas in the South West or not?

We have a lot of very stupid people in Nigeria

Nah all this our mumu politicians I go blame sha.

Fulanis were unleashing hell in the South West, attacking and killing people unprovke, destroying farmlands all over the South West, kidnapping our people unprovokely and this bastard here is asking us foolish question.

There was a time going to one's farm land was so risky because of Fulani heardsmen, to even travel sef nah wahala, because of Fulanis, on our land o, no b say we dey Sokoto or Katsina o

I will keep on blaming our politicians who are in love with One Nigeria.

Left to me, Yoruba land have no business been in Nigeria.

Just look at the type of foolish thing I dey share a country with

What do you mean by Tinubu is desperate, can you explain how he is desperate?

2023: Power Should Rotate To Southern Nigeria – Bayelsa Governor Tells Visiting Ex-Vice President, Atiku

Diri spoke on Friday when former Vice President and a PDP presidential aspirant, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, visited him at the Government House, Yenagoa.

The Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, has said he is a strong proponent of zoning and rotation of the presidency in 2023 to the South of the country.
Diri spoke on Friday when former Vice President and a PDP presidential aspirant, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, visited him at the Government House, Yenagoa.

According to a press release, the governor noted that no individual political ambition should be allowed to disorganise and disorientate the party.

The governor said, “I am one of the strong proponents of power rotation and zoning and I still believe that power should rotate to the southern part of Nigeria.

"However, our party has taken a decision and there is nobody that is greater than the party. As a party member, I cannot stand above our party. I am carefully choosing my words as an umpire because I am holding a very sensitive position as deputy chairman of one of the electoral committees."

Diri, who described Atiku as one of the strong contenders for the party’s presidential ticket, noted that the PDP was more interested in wresting political power from what he described as “the rudderless, directionless and failed government of the All Progressives Congress."

Speaking earlier, Atiku stressed that the PDP must put its best candidate forward in order to wrest power back from the APC.

The former vice president called on the party to brace up and be united for the sake of Nigeria, emphasising that the PDP could not afford to be in the opposition again from 2023.

Atiku said, “We must put our best forward. Meaning who we believe can bring us back to power. It is very important. We must brace up as a political party. We must unite to return our political party back to power. We cannot afford to be in opposition again.
“There must be peace and unity before this country can be governed. That is why I emphasise unity and the need to unify the country. What I mean is that; I am going to give every part, every section, religion and faith, a sense of belonging in this country.”

I hope some people will finally stop disturbing us about MURIC not condemning the action of the pigs that killed Deborah.

May Deborah soul Rest In Peace.

See as Mallams dey carry religion for head pass Saudi's wey get the religion. See as dem stone and burn person because of ordinary religion.
