The Upper-hand Is With PDP:
The Senate composes of 109 Senators. The PDP has 49, while the APC enjoys 60. Of the APC 60, about 12(including Saraki) are seen as rebels and has been ostracised by their party. The PDP must meet these pro-Saraki APC minority group to present a PDP candidate from NC as Saraki's successor(anybody but David Mark). The APC rebels should be rewarded with membership/chairmanship of choice standing committees. With 61 senators(49 PDP Se+ 12 APC) behind PDP candiate, the party stand as "Majority" to defeat whoever the gods of APC present as their candidate because APC will be left with 48 senators. A very wide majority. Considering that PDP need a minimum 55 senators for this battle, 61 will be more than required. This is enough to humble APC.

Saraki Must Make Up With PDP
As for Bukola Saraki, he is unfortunate to be served the same meal he served former president Goodluck Jonathan and PDP. However, he has to repent and respond to his alleged offence. But, he should be told that the only way he can redeem his betrayals towards PDP is by supporting a PDP candidate to succeed him. This will also defeat the evil mechanism of Buhari and other APC gods.


Finally, the PDP must not let go of this rare opportunity to legitimately control the Senate and have the Umbrella standing in the office of the Senate President. Buhari will have no choice but to work with PDP-led Senate.

Let's teach APC how to play politics.

ECOTERRORS:
This is good news and Dangote should be commended for this.


The abokiss don't have any reason not to attend school now.

chukwudi44:
Absense of his certificate is enough proof. BTW Have you presented proof of Saraki's alleged guilt?

Nigerians ke? Since when did Nigerians become synonymous with yorubas? I dont remember you callingg for any protest against Buhari over the forgery of his WAEC certificate.

Ikpeazu Condoles with Awolowo Family over Death of Matriarch

September 20, 2015

https://metrowatchonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ikpeazu1.jpg

The Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has expressed his condolence to the family of the late Nigerian statesman, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, over the demise of the matriarch of the Awolowo clan, Hannah Idowu Dideolu, who passed on yesterday at the age of 99.

Governor Ikpeazu extends the sincere feelings of the good people of Abia State to the family of Awolowo, the Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun and to the great people of Ogun State for the vacuum that has been created in the social and political life of the people by the death of the famed matriarch.

The Governor noted that, until her death, HID was the “living tree” of the South West political history and stood as the rallying point of all political leaning in the South West, having married a man whom the Yoruba see as their political symbol.

He noted that, until yesterday, HID was the living representation of that symbol and therefore commiserates with the entire people of the South West over the irreparable loss.

Governor Ikpeazu described HID as a woman of courage and resilience who stood doggedly behind her husband throughout his embattled life as a foremost Nigerian politician and community leader and prayed God to grant her soul an eternal rest.

He also prayed God to console her family, relatives, the people of Ogun State and the entire Yoruba race who must surely be touched by the passing on of the legendary matriarch.

The Op's hypocrisy
Now the hypocrisy of the op lies in the fact that he stated only APC members and refused to add PDP members that has used the same strategy to halt their investigation and prosecution.

Prominent among them are Deizeani and [/b]Stellah Oduah.[/b]

Isn't it an Irony that someone accusing people of Hypocrisy displayed the same hypocrisy in presenting his case.

Chinese authorities say the arrests are part of the Communist Party’s latest anticorruption campaign — and they include the arrest last month of four employees of the British-Australian mining giant, Rio Tinto, on bribery charges.

But analysts say that prominent corruption cases in China are often the outgrowth of power struggles within the Communist Party, with competing factions using the “war on corruption” as a tool to eliminate or weaken rivals and their corporate supporters.

Dbboy:
man with all the long epistle you have written on almost all page just goes to prove how envious you are of the IGBO people success, why didn't you spend much time disapproving that (result)of the Chinese, indians or the other African people who a lot better than your tribe the luganda but you find it so convenient challenging our own report because it put the igbos ahead of you lads. This is not about chest pumping or beating or what ever you call it, but its clear to all unbiased mind that the igbos are far superior being in Nigeria to any other tribe, that's why there so much envy in any part of Nigeria the igbos settle. please don't hang your self on a report that took thousands of man hour resarch to come to an unfortunate conclusion that proves what we already know in Nigeria to be true that Igbo are the best in everything the lay there hand on.

Shymm3x:
@ excerpt in bold - that's the crux of the matter, and it's problematic. The jingoism defeated the purpose of the stat and the radical improvements being made in inner city schools. And rather than focus on what the government is doing to bridge the gap between disadvantaged ethnic minorities, in messed up catchment areas - where the schools used to be utterly terrible - and folks from better areas with access to better schools, these folks are using it as a premise for ethnic supremacy and that's troubling.

I'm not even defending Yorubas here - I did the same on a next thread in the family section a few weeks ago when folks were posting ridiculous stats to show that black African kids in the UK are superior to Caribbean kids, without considering a lot of factors. At the end of the day, black folks are still at the bottom of the totem pole of everything and a lot of factors play into that.

SonOfEl:
as you see them in your narrow and bigoted mentality. are these two cases the only reason for your bitterness and hate? you keep exposing and disgracing yourself at every turn.

Shymm3x:
Lol. These folks are even terrible at chest-beating...they labelled themselves as the most brilliant African race based on a flawed stat, despite Luganda speakers from Uganda topping the stat they provided.

What the stat did was to show the improvements made since 2009 in the inner city schools (public schools), and that's evident in how the Yoruba kids went from 39% pass to 75% within two years, since most of the Yorubas in Lambeth live in the most disadvantaged areas (Brixton, Stockwell, and Kennington) - while the few Igbos in the borough live in better areas like Streatham, and Clapham - and they mostly attend Catholic schools. It's also evident in the performance of Ghanaian kids since there's a huge Ghanaian population in Streatham. It's just common sense and nothing to brag about.

I guess it's safe to say that Ugandans are more intelligent than Nigerians - bwahahaha. I'd wager that they'll disagree with that, but that's what's on the stat they're touting for vacuous academic supremacy.

Anyway, I want to see the stat for Tottenham, since there's a huge population of Igbos there.

SonOfEl:
truly your bitterness and hatred for IGBOS is incurable. your case is deliverance case.

SonOfEl:
your bitterness is incurable. what's the big deal about celebrating an article that silences the scientific racism of whites? is it because IGBOS are the main case study being used to counter the white racists about blacks?

your bitterness won't change a thing...am sorry for your blood pressure.

SonOfEl:
you and your shymmex should keep consoling yourselves......

Shymm3x:
This is from the UK government:

https://www.education.gov.uk/consultations/downloadableDocs/213_1.pdf

http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20130401151715/http://www.education.gov.uk/publications/eOrderingDownload/RTP01-03MIG1734.pdf

The UK government doesn't even do classifications based on ethnic groups within a country. I honestly don't know where these plonkers got the Lambeth link from. And even if Igbos outperformed Yorubas in Lambeth in 2009 and 2010, but both were almost on the same level in 2011 - how does that make Igbo the most brilliant African race?

How about the Luganda folks who outperformed everyone in 2011? Shouldn't Luganda speakers be the most brilliant of them all? I guess Ugandans are smarter than Nigerians then, based on the stats, no?

omonnakoda:
I already raised the question about whether GCSE's are written in the UK. You can scroll up and look for that
If we have a different opinion or miscommunication we should not then get irritable and then insolent.
Likely that will have unintended results
Are you holding fort for the OP?
Let him make his own argument

I am not being obtuse though your mother may have that problem.Take it up with her

omonnakoda:
Like I said let him make his own case he said 2015 US study he also presented some information from the US so unless you are holding the fort for him you have reinforced the idea that there is A STUDY which we are all referring to on this thread. That is dangerous.
In any conversation we should agree terminology and be sure we are all talking about the same thing.

On this thread when we say "THE STUDY" are we all talking about the same thing? I think not. It seems many believe the information presented by the OP is "THE STUDY". That is my point. He has not said otherwise

For you to suggest we are all talking about the Lambeth study which is not reproduced on this thread is ,at best ,naive. How can that be? How many participants here have read it or are aware of it?

Of course he was being rather disingenuous, by conflating various strands of information which are completely unrelated, but then since you and I already know that much; what is the problem?

omonnakoda:
With respect sir.unless you are choosing to be spokesman for the OP he did not mention this Lambeth study,in fact the title of this thread is US 2015 report or something like that and I personally asked him for a source and he gave me a link to a blog which listed a long bibliography so it is presumptuous of you,I think, to hold the forte for the OP and say it is THE LAMBETH STUDY. LAMBETH is not in the US and much of the information relate to the US too.

Unless the OP says so I have not seen any reason to assume THE link you provided is the central basis for his thesis.
Now if we assume that to be the case or he comes out to say so then we can debate the study and whether it actually concludes what we are being told about Ibos

Isuata:
@onReflection
You seem like a highly intelligent person (irrespective of your tribe) - i assume you have some reservations with the bolded in my comments?
Also, i think it would do well to have come up with a highly unbiased and detailed description of how what the @op asserts is untrue (with factual academic links) for us learners to consume.

@others
i think high IQ should be displayed in how well your IQ creates solutions for your immediate environment, on a patriotic level= how it helps to advance your nation.

@ the user who says the Yorubas have not dominated the wealth space, here's an analytics of the past and present for you to digest
https://businessdayonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wealthy-nig-chart.jpg which shows dominance spread.

But all in all, its evident that the yorubas and igbos are educationally advantaged, lets help the northern parts to become so too, that way, their narcissistic tendencies will be reduced and Nigeria can become the doyen of the Black race.

omonnakoda:
I think you are right but have fallen into a trap too
You say "A STUDY"
I ask what study. Did you invest time to find out which "STUDY" you are talking about.
What is the NAME of "THE STUDY" you are talking about? Where was it published and on what date?

omonnakoda:
THE STUDY??



There is no study

Let us ask a few question

What is the Title of the so called study
Who is the autthor
Where does the author work
Did the author provide any contact details
When was it done
Where was it done
Where was it published

What kind of research exactly are we talking about exactly e,g primary.secondary
What were the Aims and Objectives
What was the Methodology including data analysis
What is the size of the population it "STUDIED"
How long did it take

Any declaration of interests/conflict or funding


When you read research you will know ,when you read journalism or propaganda to you should know.

It should not be that easy to bamboozle any one who understands the rudiments of scholarship
I declare boldly that there is no study here just a very badly written review of a motley of information from varied sources mixed up with clearly falsified or fictitious data

I would be very interested to see where in the UK data such as Yoruba origin is collected that is just a brazen LIE

omonnakoda:
I will always be around to expose your desperate and absurd antics.
One idiot starts a blog and then transplants it here as "evidence" and the chimpanzees are cheering

It is fictitious but more importantly very transparently so.

It has nothing or little to do with the US and it is NOT " A report" of any kind just internet pseudo journalism dressed up as research. What is the source of the RED AND BLUE BAR CHARTS

Kastonkastroll:
my bro, the people you arguing with will never reason with you. They will always stick to their lies and all that. sad but true.

Isuata:
I truly believe their nothing wrong with an individual highlighting the supremacy of hes/her tribe.......

This is one of the reasons i like @areonakakanfo and @totit they respond with counter facts and disputes frivolous facts

In as much as i agree with @onReflections premise i believe as other ethnic tribes in Nigeria and West Africa we should the ndi Igbo props; as a tribe they have risen from annihilation to compete at the peak. as a Yoruba person i respect them for that and it shows they are a force to be reckoned with; they rival the Yoruba race in almost all spheres which is a great feat to pull off.

I believe sometime in the future when we are rid of our illiterate leaders both groups will be able to work together to navigate the greatness of the Black man in the world.

As young people, lets cultivate the habit of competitive rivalries that can uplift our tribes and thus improve and stimulate the black race as a whole and the onus is on us to show the Northern regions the light of education, build their people and also learn their strengths

Even though the blog and excerpts used by the OP doesn't relate to the title used; I still salute the NdiIgbo greatly for high IQ as displayed in all facets of life.

SonOfEl:
she just told you the truth, take it with a cup of humility, so you can be cured.

OkutaNla:
Guy, you sound like a yoruba guy coz all this your talk is too 'sophisticated' for Yee.bos . They will eat you for dinner coz they can't reason rationally even before they beat their chests. Folks like myself need to consistently expose their ignorance and hypocrisy. That's the only way you can deal with them (especially their internet Biafrans) coz they have serious inferiority complex issues. Granted a few are rational enough to debate your likes on this subject matter, but those are in the minority. I will treat their fvck up anytime of the day.
