The fraudulent political structure created by IBB and Sani Abacha guarantees the emergence of incompetent leaders.
The too many states proliferated by northern military dictators in the old Northern region guarantees Northern political elite the political powers of deciding who can be president of Nigeria. The northern part of Nigeria whose people pride as the most educationally didadvantaged in Nigeria largely determines who leads Nigeria. |

Got her pregnant at least five times and served her as kola to a few of my cousins who came visiting. She was so virtuous that she'd rather stay awake washing my underwears than reading for her exams.
It was through her that I perfected the skills of female manipulation.
I do miss her. She was such a good girl; but I'm glad that I wasn't the unlucky man she ended up with. Because till today, she's still believing the Lord for a child.

Politics › Re: Akeredolu: Only A Party Determined To Lose Will Field A Northern Candidate by onuman: 9:36pm On Feb 08, 2022 |
seunmsg: The 1959 election was a parliamentary election and not the presidential we practice today. Victory was determined by the number of legislative seats won and not popular votes. NPC came first based on number of seats won.
Again, you need to also consider that while Western and Eastern regions adopted universal adult suffrage for the election, the northern region adopted limited suffrage whereby women are not allowed to vote. As a result, they had lesser popular votes than the two other regions. In fact, northern women were not allowed to vote until the 1979 general election when Nigeria adopted the presidential system of government. Who won the highest number of votes does not become winner. A presidential candidate in Nigeria must also win 25% of votes in 24 of the 36 states, before he/she can be concluded as winner. Without zoning or rotation, how can a presidential candidate from any southern region win 25% of votes in 24 states, if far north is supporting a presidential candidate from the north? Discrediting zoning or rotation of the presidency in Nigeria is like handing Nigeria over to far north political leaders to manage. |

StarchAndBanga: Hello,
Created this thread to share my side of the story regarding this thread:
https://www.nairaland.com/6968649/customer-blocked-me-after-making
On Wednesday last week, I contacted Xcelinteriors cos I wanted to buy wallpaper and carpet. We agreed on N90k as the amount for the items (excluding waybill). I had every intention of paying for these items as I requested for her to drop her acc number for me to make payment more than once (u can see that from our chats) but she suggested she would first go to the park to confirm how the waybill would cost so I send everything including the money for waybill at once.
She told me she would leave her office to the park when she closes for the day and when she gets there I would talk with the park ppl to negotiate for the waybill and send the full money including the waybill to her.
After our last conversation, something came up on my end so with remorse, chatted her up to let her know she should not bother going to the park anymore as I won't be able to pay for the items any more.
I 100% had no idea she had already gone to the park (according to her) cos we talked on video around few minutes to 3pm.
Around 4:41pm, I messaged her that she should not bother going to the park again and something came up on my end so I won't be able to pay for the items again (as at when I sent this message, she did not tell me she had closed for the day already and was going to the park to waybill the items). Be careful. Mobile phone service is going down in many parts of Nigeria, including Abuja. |

Politics › Re: 2023: Why Amaechi Will Be Apc’s Best Candidate; Thicks All Boxes. by onuman: 8:54pm On Feb 06, 2022 |
Penguin2: I’m not going to bore you with long epistle. I will be concise and straight to the point.
So one of the presidential hopefuls for the 2023 general election is the Honorable Minister of Transport, Rt Hon. Chibuike Romtimi Amaechi (though he has not declared).
Some have speculated he might be Buhari’s secret candidate especially with his recent turbaning by the Daura Emirate.
Now, away from secret candidate and turbaning, let me enumerate for you, why the man Amaechi might be APC’s most suitable candidate for 2023.
1. HE IS A FOUNDATION MEMBER One of the arguments that some supporters of some certain interest in APC has always used against some presidential aspirants like David Umahi and Orji Uzor Kalu, is that these men are not foundation members of the party but just defected when they saw the party had won power. To them, those men do not qualify to sick APC ticket while some other people that laboured to build the party and financed it will be deprived of it. Well, that argument won’t work on Amaechi because Amaechi was the leader of the 5 PDP governors that joined APC then as New-PDP. Not only did he join the APC, it is believed that he also made a lot of financial commitments and has twice been the Director General of the party’s presidential campaigns. So, whatever stake that any interest in APC claims to have, Amaechi equal has it and that is non-contestible.
2. HE ANSWERS FOR SOUTHSOUTH CLAMOUR TO COMPLETE THEIR TENURE One of the distant voices that has been heard in the discourse of 2023, has been the fact that the Southsouth part of the country still has 4 years of its presidential tenure to complete since President Jonathan could not win re-election after 4 years of his original tenure. Although , like I said, this clamour may not have been as pronounced as many other clamours, but it has been made regardless and that is what an Amaechi presidency will answer to; since he is from the Southsouth .
3.THE CLAMOUR FOR IGBO PRESIDENCY As 2023 elections draw closer, one of the loudest and most valid agitation is that of Igbo presidency in general and Nigerian President of southeast extraction in particular. All Nigerians of conscience know that this agitation is valid, and for the continued peaceful coexistence of the Nigerian project, it is imperative that it is addressed. Now, that’s why Amaechi comes in. While somebody like Nyesom Wike has told the world he is not Igbo, Amaechi has consistently insisted that “nobody can deny me of my Igboness”. He has always adorned his traditional Isiagu dress when occasion allows it, in identification with his Igbo culture. Now, while Nigerians are skeptical about handing power over to an Igbo man from the southeast, such fears might not exist for Amaechi. Why?
Because an Igbo man of Southsouth has never gone through the denial, punishment, deprivations and subjugation that has been meted to the Igbo man of southeast. The implication is that the anger level in their hearts are different.
While the Igbo man of southeast might harbour resentment for the Nigerian state with desire for revenge, the Igbo man in southeast is likely not going to harbour resentment in his heart.
So, if the agitation for Igbo presidency is something that must be addressed, but the rest of Nigeria is skeptical about handing power over to a man from Southeast, the closest solution to the impasse is Amaechi.
With Amaechi, all that would have to be done is to conscientize with Ndigbo to settle for “Igbo Presidency” rather than insist on “Nigerian President of Southeast Extraction” and trust me it would sell.
4. AMAECHI IS DETRIBALIZED AND A BRIDGE BUILDER One of the most reoccurring arguments against most Igbo presidential aspirants is the fact that they are tribal and are not bridge builders. Well, not Amaechi; because I do not think there’s any part of Nigeria that has anything against Amaechi especially when it comes to tolerance for Nigerians of other ethnic groups. What am I even saying, there’s a ‘Rotimi’ in his name, Remember? Dude is even a Yoruba. Lol.
5. AGE One of the issues in the front burner of the 2023 political discourse is the fact that we need young, agile and capable people to occupy political positions. Yes. Aso Rock should not be converted to retirement home for old men to go and be resting their bones. At 57 years of age, Amaechi fits perfectly into that yardstick.
6. PROVEN RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS An unbiased assessment of the Buhari regime would throw up Rotimi Amaechi as one of, if not, the brightest and most performing ministers in the Buhari government. The transformation happening in the rail sector is visible to all Nigerians. But that’s not all, before he became minister, he was governor of Rivers State for 8 years and if you ask those who witnessed his administration in Rivers, they’d tell you he has been one of the best things to happen to Rivers state. So, aside that fact that an Amaechi presidency will answer to several other agitations and inerests, we are also going to be having a man with proven records of achievements in public service.
7. NO TAINT OF CORRUPTION “I don’t like money”. That is one of the most popular statements that has been made by Amaechi. While that may have been metaphorical and does not really translate to him being a saint, he seems to not have any case of financial malfeasance to his name so far despite how long he has been in public service. So if APC’s aim is to give Nigerians somebody who is not corrupt, then Amaechi is the man.
I promised it was not gonna be long but it did.
But there you have it. What are you going to add and what are you going to remove?
Penguin is a bird of reason! If the Igbo of SE harbour resentment from Nigeria, what made you believe that another Igbo from the SS will be different? Because of mere geographical division - SS and SE? Abeg, find another story to tell. |
