PoliticsRe: Lagos State Was Never Capital Of Nigeria by Odibembem(op): 10:14am On Jan 04, 2023
Hydroxide:
When it comes to issues like this, you will be comparing Nigeria with the United states and other top notch countries of the world. Why don't you compare Nigeria and those countries in terms of good governance, security, opportunities? Those countries see themselves as one irrespective of where any citizen comes from, nothing like tribalism over there. Nonsense comparison.
You obviously are commenting on the wrong thread. I never remotely mentioned any tribe or tribal supremacy here. I only tried to educate some of you that Lagos Island city is different from Lagos state and States are never the capital of any country at least here on earth. Can u mention any country that has a state or province as capital? Is Cairo, Nairobi, Accra, Dakar or Pretoria a state? Likewise Lagos State was never the capital of Nigeria but Lagos Island as a city. Your type must have brains made of sawdust honestly

A tottering illiterate like you trying to "re-educate"?

The garbage you wrote up there only goes to show your level of inferiority complex, guilty complex and acute paranoia...

So Lagos Island was the capital and not Lagos state proves what exactly?

Y'all are pathetic
You see, some of you think the purpose of every post is to prove a political point hence you are shaking like someone with Lassa fever. I didn't post to make a point, I posted to educate. Do you know of any country in the world that has a state or province as capital? Only cities are capitals. Is Accra a state,is Washington DC or London or Pretoria or Ottawa a state? Can't you just learn something you did t previously know and be happy?

It was the capital 100%, mind you, Lagos State was created in 1967 not 1976, Victoria Island was dredged by the Federal not the western region.

Op & yourself are mixing facts & fiction to deceive the gullible.
I errorneously transposed 1967 with 1976 which I have now corrected. But what exactly is your arguement? That Lagos Stete and not Lagos Island was the capital of Nigeria? Do you know of any country in the world that has a province or state as capital? Is DC a state? Is Ottawa a state and is Paris or Madrid or Moscow or Canberra a state? Or is Accra a state? States are never capitals of countries, only cities are and the former capital of Nigeria was Lagos Island and not Lagos State. You shouldn't argue with this irrefutable fact

Now I know that we hv many ignorant fuckers. How could somebody say Lagos was never Capital, where does Lagos Island located? Is it ijebe Ode or what
Lagos Island was never part of or inside Lagos state till 1991. It was a city adjoing Lagos state
Why is this so hard to sink into your brain? Washington DC is a small city adjoining Virginia and Maryland but not inside any of them. Infact Lagos Island was an administrative territory long before Lagos State was created in 1967 but the island was not part of Lagos state till the FG left for Abuja in 1991. Make una dey read and do small research na, this una ignorance is earth shaking

Op you are the ignorant one. Ok, which part of abuja is the capital of nigeria? Is it only where aso rock is situated? Wrong!
Lagos as a state was the capital of nigeria but the presidential villa was situated in the island. When was MMA built and where was it built? It was built in lagos the then capital of nigeria. The whole of abuja is the capital of Nigeria not just where aso rock is situated.
Stop shifting goal post. Tinubu never developed lagos.
Am taking pains to cure your ignorance you are still adamant. Washington DC is a small city adjoining Virginia and Maryland, not part of either state. Same way Lagos was an adjoining city to Lagos State. The simple test was for you to find out who collected PAYE for Lagos Island residents and for Ikeja residents prior to 1991. But you would never know there was a difference cos you don't even know what is PAYE and has never paid PAYE from the small shop you run. Stop celebrating your ignorance, states are never capitals of countries, only cities are.
PoliticsLagos State Was Never Capital Of Nigeria by Odibembem(op):
There is this wrong impression even held by otherwise very educated elites that Lagos State was the capital of Nigeria for so many years till 1991. That is not correct. What was capital of Nigeria was Lagos Island which even did not include Victoria Island. The mainland of today from Ikeja to Ilupeju where all vitually under the western region and only carved into Lagos State when the state was created in 1967. Perhaps to emphasize the difference between the state and the federal capital territory, Ikeja and not Lagos Island was made the capital of Lagos state. All through till 1991, the FG had jurisdiction only on the island and could only collect PAYE tax for residents there while state govt had jurisdiction over the rest of Lagos and collected the PAYE of the residents till d FCT moved to Abuja and the state govt took over jurisdiction of the entire state. Yes, federal presence on the island attracted infrastructure and development to the adjoining towns but but also created urban slums all around the state. However, know the truth, only Lagos Island was capital of Nigeria and not Lagos State.
PoliticsRe: Between Kenneth Okonkwo, Daniel Bwala And Niyi Speaking On Obasanjo Endorsement by Odibembem: 6:31am On Jan 03, 2023
Afikoo:
Kenneth Okonkwo, Daniel Bwala of PDP And Niyi of APC were in Channels TV speaking in Obasanjo Endorsement of Peter Obi .

It was an interesting debate.

Watch the debate here


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTCCdJeGJ4k
Whenever I see Kenneth Okonkwo dramatizing and trying to read poetry in making his points I usually burst into laughter. The guy is a clown and a dramatist, who is he reading poetry for? And to think Obi people see him as so great..The guy is not persuasive, he just reads poetry about impossible things Obi will do, what Obi never even told him. This same Kenneth was initially running around Jonathan team in 2014/2015, immediately Jonathan lost he ran to APC and was dramatizing around them yet he could not convince his ward in Enugu state to deliver 100 votes for APC, very nuisance value and now sensing the sentimental bandwagon among his people he has ran to Labour to continue his drama and poetry. He calls himself a lawyer, (the degree he obtained via night school, allow him defend u in court at your own peril) but we actually know he is an actor and dramatist at heart. His dramatist skills reminds me of those days of secondary school debates - panel of judges, co debaters, viewers and all those slangs. Obi half educated cheerleaders would make a hero of any villain or clown as long as he wears the Obidients cap

PoliticsWhy Is The North Central Not In Political Contention? by Odibembem(op): 10:43am On Dec 31, 2022
I have observed arguments that both South West and South South have tasted power, that the two zones yet to taste power are the South East and North East. The likes of Orji Uzor Kalu used that as basis to support Ahmed Lawan at APC primaries that if South East doesn't get it, then it should go to North East being the other zone yet to taste power. What about the North Central? Why is no one fighting for them, why are they not really agitating for power to come to them also? Yes, in d military era, they produced Gowon, Babangida and Abdusalam but they have never produced a democratic leader, not even VP. At least the North East have produced Tafawa Balewa as Prime Minister for six years and Atiku Abubakar as VP for eight years. The North Central should also show interest in the presidency like the North East and South East. They are not less Nigerian

[quote author=Sergio101 post=119492407]Alright.

What made the coup an "igbo coup".

As we always hear from you and your ilks.


The coup was an Ibo coup cos majority of the plotters were Ibos though the two arrowheads were Midwesterners, the beneficiaries were Ibos as JTU Aguiyi Ironsi siezed power eventually and he never punished the coupists, also only the Ibos did not have the elite of their military a d political class wiped off by the coupists and finally, the Ibos celebrated and owned the coup, an Ibo musician even waxed a song celebrating Kaduna Nzeogwu for killing the Sarduana and right in he north Ibos brandished TShirts of Nzeogwu as a hero. They were very tactless in those days!!!!
PoliticsRe: Why Is Tinubu Yet To Win Any Total Presidential Poll Or Projection? by Odibembem: 6:23am On Dec 28, 2022
seunmsg:
Edo is too close to call for now. The state would be divided in such a way that whoever wins won’t have any significant margin of victory.
You are very right, Edo is about the most toss up state in Nigeria. Edo South with the highest population would likely go Obi way with APC second and PDP third - Obi has decimated PDP votes there. Edo central that used to be iron clad PDP would also go Obi but with PDP second and APC third. Edo north would be conveniently won by APC with PDP coming second and Obi third. So the projection is slim win by Obi, followed closely APC and PDP falling to third. PDP used to win every preside trial election here, they should blame Obi for this cos while Obi split their bites, APC bites largely remain intact
PoliticsRe: What Do APC And PDP Supporters Mean By Structure When We Have BVAS? by Odibembem: 9:28pm On Dec 27, 2022
Workch:
I see a lot of PDP and APC guys depending on existing rigging structures to win this election. A lot them do not really believe that the will of the people is going to make any difference but I want to know what they mean by structure.

Thr structure that I know of is a political presence that not really try to passively convince people to vote them but try and buy voters, snatch ballot boxes, buy INEC staffs to help them overthumbprint ballot papers and bribe INEC preciding officers to help them manipulate incident forms.

Except, I don't know a lot again, what other thing do you think this structure can help you to do now other than just buying votes?

Whether or not we like it, the electoral reform Buhari passed has weakened these structures significantly and there is really much they can do now other than buying votes and maybe mobilizing grassroots campaign, which doedt really convince a lot of people anymore because they already made up their minds. If I am wrong, I want APC and PDP guys do educate me.
Structure means people on ground working for you independent of you telling them to or being there yourself. Structure means having party officers and officers whose responsibility is to deliver you irrespective of if they like you. Structure means fielding candidates in all the 360 or so federal constituencies and the candidates combing the interiors on your behalf. Only APC and PDP has structure, Obi does not. Let that sink in!!!
PoliticsRe: Is Christmas Safe Under Tinubu? by Odibembem: 9:20pm On Dec 24, 2022
eagleu:
Muslim-muslim ticket means that neither the president nor the vice president of Nigeria would have a religious understanding of Christmas.
Of course, they may tolerate the celebration for just a while, but eventually, and just like Hisbah police in Kano, good muslims will keep quiet when fanatical muslims attack Christians for celebrating Christmas.
We know countries where Christmas is neither celebrated, nor tolerated. Is Nigeria in line, because Christians just don't see far enough to understand how that maybe possible. A few years ago, some Christians believed that sharia law would never be applied to them. The rest is now history.
Many of you think in reverse mode. Tinubu's wife is a Christian and celebrate Christmas, his children are christians and celebrate Christmas, he never stopped them thus far, is it now as President they he would stop them? What is making many of u so moronichuh

Obi is the candidate of the shallow thinker who believes cost cutting would solve our problems whereas what we have is a revenue problem which Obi has no clue how to solve. Obi is the candidate of the riff raffs, the yahoo boys, empty headed easy virtue ladies who have heard that the fashionable thing on social media is to be Obidient. But the deep and critical thinker, the realist, the pragmatists and goal getters are all for Asiwaju. These goal getters control the political space, the power elites of the south west and north and they are going to slam dunk Asiwaju into Aso Rock. Would be a miracle of Obi wins three states.
