Bigotry on the increase. NL is now a house for ethnic fights. Guys, its not right. All this tribal e-wars won't help anyone. To be honest, every ethnic group in naija can be stereotyped but its stupidity to generalise because there are pple that are exceptional. Some peeps, you will never know where they are from until they tell you. No ethnic group is perfect. All are flawed. In fact, I think its foolhardy trying always to defend one's tribe or ethnicity. For me, I take facts, see that I don't exhibit the negative traits and ignore the insults. |

Why can't we see beyond PDP and APC ? how is it so difficult accept as reality that neither have you in mind. Its a like a match between them where the ball being kicked around is the masses. Who is fooling who? many PDP supporters are blind to powers behind gej , you think he is the one pulling the strings in bringing opposition parties down? PDP killed democracy since obj's tenure when he registered multiple parties thus weakening the possibility of a strong opposition. Behind gej are powerful, greedy and wicked pple orchestrating events and policies to favour them. Gej must carry out pdp 's ambitions. APC could have been a viable opposition but it messed up and showed it has no difference in agenda and purpose with the ruling party when it opened it doors to criminals. APC became a failure. Its easy to hide behind ur phones and systems and type bigoted statements but surely a break up is not as easy as we would like it. there is too much hate spread by ethnic and religious bigots already that no region would be peaceful in the advent of break up. There would likely be problems between west and east, middle belt and core north, core north muslims and core north christians ,west with ijaws and ijaws with other Niger delta minorities. Hate is already everywhere and down deep. unfortunately, the solutions to our problem would be difficult to accept not to mention implementation. Its real democracy. one that has federating states and power reduced from the centre. Those who then want an islamized state can have it in their areas. Those that are dynamic would grow at their pace. 2 Likes |
| Politics › Last President Of Nigeria? by ogbronx(op): 12:18am On Jul 15, 2014 |
Goodluck Jonathan: Nigeria's last President? By Chido Onumah conumah@hotmail.com President Goodluck Jonathan did not disappoint during his recent appearance at the 66th United Nations (UN) General Assembly in New York. At least, he said what he thought the international community expected him to say. The focus of his speech was global terror. “We must win the war against terrorism because it infringes on the fundamental rights of all peoples to life and to live in safety from fear,” the president said. “For us in Nigeria, terrorist acts, rather than intimidate, will only help to strengthen our resolve to develop appropriate national strategies and collaborate even more closely with the international community in the fight against this menace”. Regrettably, there is little to indicate that the Jonathan administration has plans to develop an “appropriate national strategy” to deal with terrorism in Nigeria. But while Nigerians are used to the rhetoric of the present government, I am sure his audience at the UN expected to hear, not empty talk, but the practical steps the government has taken to tackle terrorism in Nigeria. His audience would also have been interested in hearing what the government was doing or has done to address other issues, including poverty, unemployment, and lack of access to healthcare, all of which “infringe on the fundamental rights of all peoples to life and to live in safety from fear.” But it did not happen and it wasn’t surprising. Under President Jonathan, we have come to expect more rhetoric and less action. For those looking for proof, you need look no further than the president’s first media outing a few weeks ago. If there was any hope of an early resolution of the lingering political and social crises in Nigeria, that hope was dashed by the president himself during his national media briefing. The president’s remarks were a bizarre mix of platitudes and a frightening lack of appreciation of history; a bitter foretaste of what to expect in the next four years. “Nigeria won’t break up” was the bold headline the morning after. The president had offhandedly dismissed insinuations that Nigeria could disintegrate by 2015. His reason, according to press report: “The country that will disintegrate, you can get it by the study of the psyche of the people. During the civil war, the South Easterners were the bulk of members of the proposed new country called Biafra. Now, the Igbos have investments across the country. Go to the South-West, go to the North. As small as my village is, Nigerians from North, East and West have bought land. People who want to disintegrate will begin to shift back into their own geo political zones. The behaviour of Nigerians shows that we are not really going to disintegrate. People look at us because of our ethnic diversity and begin to predict that we will disintegrate. We will not disintegrate. I will not preside over a country that will disintegrate and I assure you that from now till 2015 Nigeria must remain one united nation.” I don’t know whose psyche the president has been studying, but to dismiss the threat of an imminent national implosion on the basis that people are not “shifting back into their own geo political zones”, would have been laughable except that it is misleading and terrifying. But even at that, the reality does not support the president’s position. Across the country, there are thousands, if not millions, of displaced people fleeing violence and palpable threat to their lives. Many of those who have not moved may have no place to go having lived in their current locations for decades. Nigerians leave their homes everyday not knowing what to expect. Not since the civil war has there been this level of anxiety and insecurity. The reality is that Nigeria is on the brink. The frightening truth is that the “war” this time will not be between any clearly defined ethnic nationalities. It is for this reason that we should be concerned. There is nothing “sacred” about Nigeria. Our country, like many of the 54 countries that make up the Commonwealth of Nations, was the result of British commercial and expansionist interests. However, unlike some other countries born out of colonial or imperialist conquest, Nigeria has managed to survive for 50 years. We shouldn’t take our unity for granted. Nations survive and maintain cohesion through concerted efforts, not wishful thinking. I hope President Jonathan does not think that by saying Nigeria won’t disintegrate, that is enough to secure the unity of the country. There are ominous signs all around us. Indeed, it is a miracle that Nigeria has survived for so long considering the decades of abuse? The president was blustery about his single tenure proposal, saying: “I have no regrets at all (in proposing the change). The issue of single tenure is to stabilise the polity because you have to stabilise the polity to stabilise the economy.” Expectedly, there was nothing on corruption, the major issue that threatens to grind the Nigerian state to a halt. For a regime that talks about a transformation agenda, one would have expected the president to be more forthcoming on a blueprint to tackle corruption. Clearly, it is not likely to happen, not when he has refused to make public his asset declaration. Hopefully, now that it appears the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) wants to act, starting with the case against former governor of Lagos State, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, it is expected the CCB will accede to request to make public the president’s asset declaration. This is one issue the mainstream media in Nigeria has refused to touch. Its criminal complicity on this matter is a great disservice to the country. Of course, we can agree on one thing. The current crises, whether it is infrastructural deficient, the collapse of public institutions, or the lack of national ethos, did not start with the Jonathan administration. But the job of a president, particularly one at a period of national emergency, is to show a sense of urgency and courage in confronting problems. These two factors are lacking in the way the country is currently being run. I did not vote for President Jonathan, but that point is irrelevant. He is president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and holds the destiny of 150 million people in his hands. For that reason, I want him to succeed. His failure does not bode well for the future of the Nigeria project. But for a man who claims he had to walk to school without shoes, President Jonathan, now the proud owner of all manner of designer shoes, doesn’t look like a president in a hurry to “walk the talk”. He many well etch his name in history, although for very tragic reasons |

Abuja Declaration (1989) The Abuja Declarion is the outcome of a conference of the African countries of the OIC in 1989 and launched by a communiqué of the Islam in Africa Organisation (IAO) founded during this conference. The Islam in Africa Organisation (IAO) is a Nigerian satuted Islamic organisation, an initiative of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC). Dr. Usman Muhamad Bugaje is the current Secretary- General of the IAO. the man The organisation was founded on 28 November 1989 in Abuja ,[1] Nigeria, with the goal to win the whole of Africa for Islam. The statutes and goals[2][3] are ratified in 1991 and this marks her formal definitive founding. The founding-communiqué is also called the Abuja Declaration . [4] Startingpoint for the conference is the fact that Africa is the only continent with an Islamic majority and therefore Africa should become completely Islamic. [5] The plan contains a lot of points that are also common for Christian missionary organisations as relief and economic progression. A battleplan was composed to Islamise Africa with some less innocent points in that decision: [6] "To ensure only Muslims are elected to all political posts of member nations". "To eradicate in all its forms and ramifications all non-Muslim religions in member nations (such religions shall include Christianity, Ahmadiyya and other tribal modes of worship unacceptable to Muslim)." (the word Christianity is underlined in the declaration) "To ensure the ultimate replacement of all western forms of legal and judicial systems with the sharia in all member nations before then next "Islam in Africa conference." "To ensure the appointment of only Muslims into strategic national and international posts of member nations." The execution of this strategy can be recognised in countries like Nigeria , Ethiopia and Sudan. In Nigeria more and more provinces choose for the Sharia leading to heavy protests of Christians, oft resulting in violence and bloodshed to both sides. In Sudan the government chose in 1983 for the Sharia, in 1991 sharpened with death punishment for apostasy from Islam. Funds: The government of Nigeria has donated 21 billion US-dollar conform an IAO-communiqué [7] as donation to this "Islamic Development Fund". Organisation The IAO consists of four main organisations: [8] the General Shura', the highest authority consisting of 43 members from all over Africa and the Diaspora. the Executive Comité . the Secretariat housed at Abuja, (Nigeria). the Necessary organs to the realisation of the goals. |

| Culture › Re: Crab Mentality by ogbronx(m): 12:41pm On Jul 13, 2014 |
It ain't just jealousy or envy . Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket, is a phrase that describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither can you." The metaphor refers to a pot of crabs . Individually, the crabs could easily escape from the pot, but instead, they grab at each other in a useless " king of the hill " competition which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise. [1][2] The analogy in human behavior is that members of a group will attempt to "pull down" (negate or diminish the importance of) any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of envy, conspiracy or competitive feelings. [3] This term is broadly associated with short-sighted, non-constructive thinking rather than a unified, long- term, constructive mentality. It is also often used colloquially in reference to individuals or communities attempting to improve their socioeconomic situations, but kept from doing so by others attempting to ride upon their coat-tails or those who simply resent their success. [4] The popularity of the phrase has made accusing opponents of crab mentality a common form of defense against criticism, whether the criticism is valid or not. [5] Depending on the context, this tactic may fall under the logical fallacy known as argumentum ad invidiam, or appeal to envy. [6] While the reason for crab mentality is thought to be jealousy, and a paucity of resources leading to perpetual competition, it also appears to be a behavioural trait indulged in despite people knowing it to be disadvantageous to them.

I guess the writers and producers of the series "boondocks" could enlighten us more. The series is dedicated to using humour in educating the black race on this crab mentality thing. There is even an episode that clearly animated crabs in a basket as a blackman was trying to explain to another the fundamental flaws of the black race. Some peeps here in nairaland see it as only envy or jealousy. It goes beyond that. Its a collective mentality that kills ingenuity and growth. Its not just the envy of someone's success as most of you put it. Its crab mentality that makes you attain some level of financial,position, and political success and can't stand someone else trying to reach there. Its deep and has long been the bane of the black race. @ op, good and interesting topic. This should educate some of use instead of PDP and APC nonsense.

Our leadership is nothing to be proud of but all we do is pray for divine intervention instead of getting up as a people to elect good persons who can do the job rightly and take necessary actions against those who abuse their mandate. Its why I don't pray for Naija during service or with my family. How will God after giving us in some measure, his kind of intelligence, do for us what we can do for ourselves? This is the problem with Africans. Its mental laziness. Mental poverty has had more adverse effect on Nigerians than material poverty. As a matter of fact, The former is the cause of the latter. Even here on Nairaland, objectivity is scarce. Sentiments results to parochialism. It is usually a very disheartening thing to those who are conscious of the negativism of the average African. Take for example, that a book is written on the fundamentals in of why Nigeria and Africa is so degenerative, that book would likely not be widely read by us. We hardly think of the greater good of our country and continent or leaving a legacy but selfishness to very high extend that after stealing billions, we still fight for a couple of thousands. its really sick. I often wonder if over the times, a clandestine organisation wanted our education to fail, wanted our pple to be so repressive so that they go unchallenged with their nefarious and selfish aims for themselves and their future generations or cause. Its important we seek knowledge and be objective about our collective future. Let's look for substance rather than form from our politicians.
