If Nigerians could eagerly vote buhari twice, why not Tinubu? We love mediocrity.

Tinubu 2023

Insha Allah

And the same Nigerians who voted for mediocrity because of ethno-religious bigotry will turn around crying when the hunger starts to bite them from the poor performance of the mediocrity they voted for.

I laugh at some Yoruba dullards who drum support for Tinubu to succeed president Buhari. Those dullards will vote a Tinubu but not vote an Okonjo Iwealla for president of Nigeria.

If Tinubu ignores the fact that it's the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to President Buhari, he is merely campaigning for a northerner, possibly, Atiku, to succeed Buhari.
In 1999, zoning principles made Nigeria allow 2 Yoruba presidential candidates on the 2 largest political parties.

On the ground, in the air or in between, Air force 1 is always in contact anywhere around the world.

God Bless Nigeria

God Bless VP Osinbajo, the best and the hardest working VP in the world.

God Bless PMB.

God bless me too..

Air Force 1 relates to American presidents jet.
Stop your copy cat.

America armed forces destroy any force that's a menace to America.
Nigeria armed forces can't destroy Boko Haram fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.

Worse, Buhari said in 2001 that he would not stop fighting until sharia criminal laws are used all over Nigeria.
Stop misapplying the term Air force 1.

NewsForYou:
Everywhere soft for my president and his amiable VP.
I know Nigerians will appreciate Buhari when he leaves office.
For now oppositions are trying everything to make Buhari bad.

Modified: If you like give me 700 mentions. I only engage iPob when necessary.
If you think change is slow you are smart. If you think Nigeria can be fix overnight. You need proper thinking.
It takes years of continuity to build a country. A president will not get it hundred percent. If you don’t appreciate Buhari at all then you should stone Jonathan when you see him that’s my simple take.
If you think Jonathan regime was better. Remember that just the way positive change will not reflect immediately, damage done will also not reflect immediately. Madam Ngozi warned Nigerians, she warned Jonathan but instead Jonathan spent all the money meant for building Nigeria on 2015 election, he allowed people loot the country recklessly. That’s why we are here today. God knows i have never been a member of any political party and I’ve never even voted before. But I have common sense. All of you paid agent should get off my mention.

So the gradual process of building Nigeria includes building standard gauge rail lines from the far north to Niger Republic while the east and southsouth where Nigeria's wealth comes from have no standard gauge rail lines?
This country with people like you and Buhari is heading for the rocks.

ArewaNorth:
This is mere fanaticism. The constitution we have today is born in a Christian way of life, colonial masters system and colonial masters are Christians who are in a mission to propagate Christianity, banned the existing Islamic laws and replaced them by Christian laws. Should Christians have enough jurisdiction in their Bible it would've been the doctrine of laws we could've been using in Nigeria.
If we can sit down and write laws with penal codes and sections that guide our conducts then why the bigotry when Some people choose to live in their own way?
Is it not obvious that some people are so uncivilised that women aren't entitled for inheritance in their culture in Nigeria without any existing law backing this cruelty and is still practiced?
Stop dodging reality and know that all groups of people have the right to make laws based on their culture and traditions. Customary law is practice where Christians majority reside and Shari'a is adopted where Muslims are majority.
Despite Shari'a law, National laws supercede Sharia law and only Muslims are tried in sha ria court, Muslims have the right to say they don't want to be tried in Shariah court. So why the excessive religious fanaticism and bigotry?
In a sane society with ethno-religious diversity, states have right to adopt their justice system. In the U.S you see as demigods almost all states have their own laws and Federal laws supercede those of states.

We read and listened to some hate speeches of Kanu and his followers and it is indeed very clear that Religious fanaticism and ethnic jingoism is what beclouded their struggle. They targeted Muslims and their businesses during Endsars protest, they always claim there are no Muslims in the East, Muslims are being marginalised!
Average IPOB is driven by religious bigotry; check their comments on Nairaland, all they do is to descend their energy on insulting others religion, they're shamelessly calling every Muslim terrorist, they call out Yoruba Muslims all sort of derogatory names which is incline to hate!
Ethnic profiling and generalising criminality is very wrong, religious fanaticism and jingoism is a big cancer!

Death for apostacy, stone adulterous women to death, cut out the hands of thieves, etc, these barbaric penal codes are among the punishment from sharia criminal justice system adopted by political and religious leaders of the 12 sharia states of the north of Nigeria in 2001.


Shortly after, Boko Haram emerged and says that it's fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system.
Boko haram should have been defeated long ago if not for sabotage of the Nigeria armed forces by some people of the sharia states in high political and military offices in Nigeria.


So why do you expect the mainly non Muslim groups in the south of Nigeria to remain with you in one Nigeria until Nigeria is either finally crippled by strife or conquered by Boko Haram/ISWAP/Northern Nigeria's sympathizers to Islamic sharia criminal justice system?

Remember that Muslim military dictators from Northern Nigeria supervised Nigeria's 1999 Constitution. So your talk about the Constitution having Christian origin is unfounded. The military dictators carefully excluded sharia criminal justice system from the constitution because they must have understood the menace its inclusion could cause in a society where people have different religious faiths.

smileyoo:
when I say my beloved nation, I truly mean it because Nigeria is natural blessed with human and natural resources, that other nations wishes they have suchlike, but we unfortunately don't have honest and visionary leadership to chanel these nature given resources for the rapid development of the nation.

And you don't seem to understand that given the way Nigeria is structured and governed, no leaders can ever emerge to channel the resources to rapid development and nationhood. Every leader puts the interest of his/her ethnic group above Nigeria's interest.
For example, if Nigeria is a nation, would President Buhari first think of building standard gauge rail lines in the north to Niger Republic, while the southsouth and southeast regions from where Nigeria's resources are mostly found have no standard gauge rails system?

oluwaahmed:
Pls where did you get the information that's its IPOB that's causing these killings? Don't get me wrong o, I mean it can actually be IPOB or Bandits, Fulani Herdmen or Boko haram. But the army, police and DSS with credible Intel haven't said anything as per whose responsible how come you with zero credible intelligence or investigation arrived at IPOB as the source of the mayhem? Even the governor being the CSO of the state said that its his political enemies causing the unrest and even said last week that he will name the culprits. So why not wait.
Instead of fellow southerners to demand from security agencies the cause of this, many fools are here shouting we told them. What if its boko harm that's operating in the east? Don't you know that if its boko haram that's operating in the SE then nobody is safe in the south. If they can come for igboho the way they came for kanu what makes u feel the south west wouldn't be next?

There are paid propagandists in charge of levelling every crime in the east to be Igbos killing Igbos. The propagandists feast themselves online demonizing Igbos and IPOB with every of their paymasters' police/army manufactured story about the Igbos. They foolishly believe that they are writing for, and convincing British and Americans that Igbos and IPOB are evil.

smileyoo:
so sad, but for how long will these senseless killings continue in our beloved nation ?
for sometime now, I 've decided to stop online criticism of this govt, because it changes nothing, especially as the govt don't seem to listen to our cries, after all, nigerians voted for them.
am now directing this my humble question to my fellow nigerians : how can we collectively stop these senseless killings in our nation ?
or are we prepared to surrender our country to these; terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, criminals ?

Bolded;
Beloved nation?

You don't even understand what a nation means.
In a true nation, the senseless killings going on in the south and north of Nigeria can never happen.
Adoption of Islamic sharia criminal justice system by the 12 Northern Nigeria Sharia states has brought blood flowing and tears to Nigeria's north, and now to the south, especially in the southeast.

By the way, where is Nairaland's Nonpartisan1?
He may link this senseless killings in Kaduna to Biafra separstist groups, the same way he links violence in the east with IPOB.

Nonpartisan1:
It is finished! Alaigbo is gone to the dust. To even imagine that some of the Egusi -eating -cannibals are all over Nairaland and Facebook defending ipob atrocities.

Tufiakwa!

Until you understand that Nigeria is finished, you will always be jubilating with news that a part of your so-called dear country is down.

Stupidity of the worst order.
Unknown to you, you are indirectly campaigning for Biafra exit from Nigeria with your rejoicing of Ala Igbo (IPOB land) is finished.
Go school, you attended only bolekeja school.

ArewaNorth:
You can't just be fanatic and ignorant at the same time. Shariah system is practice in the North centuries before the coming of whites. The same way North adopted Sharia system some people also adopted customary courts system, our constitution allows every group of people to make laws that suits their culture and traditions. Therefore, stop being fanatic and know that Sharia system doesn't have the jurisdiction to judge people of other faiths. There is no shari'a system where there is customary court and vice versa.
All terror groups are born out of extremism, the excessive hatred and religious jingoism couple with extreme fanaticism portrayed by Nnmadi Kanu against Islam and North on his social media pages gave birth to IPOB, and it is evident that almost all IPOBs have the habit of religious fanaticism; they showed it during Endsars protest by burning Northern Muslims businesses and mosques.
Femi Adesina exposed how some churches are spreading hatred against Islam and believe me, average IPOBian hates Islam, u can attest it here on Nairaland.
Like IPOB like Boko Haram!

Sharia criminal laws are not the same as Sharia civil laws.
Sharia criminal laws are not allowed in the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria; but Sharia civil laws are allowed, just as customary laws are allowed in the Constitution.

You are apparently a Muslim but do not understand the difference between Sharia criminal laws and Sharia civil laws.

You must seek to have your own Islamic country ruled with Sharia criminal laws you adopted beginning 1999 in the 12 Northern Nigeria Sharia states. Stop deceiving yourself with yourselves: you can't practise obsolete Sharia criminal laws in the north but strive to share one country with the southern Nigeria groups that bluntly resent Sharia criminal laws.

Boko Haram is fighting for a country to be governed with Islamic sharia criminal laws.

IPOB is campaigning for a Biafra not tainted with Islamic Sharia criminal laws. What's your problem with IPOB?

Prinxzona10:
White people can never use their fellow white men to commit evil buh black people have the same animal mentality and we will continue to suffer for it till we start reasoning.....People said that they're tired of been in the same country with you(because of injustice,nepotism,hatred,lost of interest,lost love towards the country),the next thing you suppose to do is to call them to a round table(dialogue) ,engage them buh if they determine and said nope,then you compel a stockholder's meeting of the former head of states,the governors,the high government officials and deliberate on it and engage them locally and after if they still insist on going,then you put forward a referendum on the table buh you see black people,they will rather die than to do something honourably...fighting your brother to preserve the benefit and interest of the white people. I will open the eyes and minds of many people even some of these lost souls here,will see reasons and repent. I will be starting from next year..the day Nigeria will be free,is the day Africa will also be free buh the question now is ,"WHEN"??

Mental and physical laziness are reasons why rest of Nigeria would not let Biafra, even if Igbo-only Biafra, to exit Nigeria.

They believe that if Igbo Biafra exits Nigeria, the other oil producing areas in the Niger Delta will also exit Nigeria.

These lazy people don't want to see that the richest countries in the world - Japan and Switzerland - have no crude oil and gas deposits.
Pitiable.
If Nigeria were to be white man's country, Nigeria would have been dissolved into more manageable countries long ago.

But blackmen groups forced into one Nigeria will want to decimate their populations in the north and in the south, before the inevitable dissolution of dysfunctional Nigeria.

Aufbauh:
Seriously??
The problem with them is that we told them, we warned them. They derided and called us names.
When the facts began to emerge, they deflected and spun the crimes to Fulani Herdsmen and DSS and APC Government. Now, faced with the truth, they’re too ashamed and embarrassed to accept that, IPOB, ESN aka Unknown Gunmen are one and the same Terrorist Organization that cannot bring about any good in the SE.

The damage caused by IPOB in Igboland will take decades to fix!

Outdated propaganda of falsehood.

IPOB has its motto as 'non violence."

Same as me; though I am a Nigerian.

The fraudsters who stole Nigeria dry now resort to calling every Nigerian a fraudster and thief.
Shameless people who forged APC, a conspiratorial political party that has brought Nigeria to the lowest level as a country housing the world’s largest number of poor and hungry people.

ArewaNorth:
When you have dysfunctional families with absentee parents and you begin to have kids drifting to crime, how is that the responsibility of Govt? When parents abdicate their responsibilities, the child becomes a burden of parents, community and the Govt is held responsible for the boy’s crime.
What a confuse society!

Govt has her responsibilities which is clear she isn't doing well but all these problems are mostly products of poor home training.

When you adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal justice system and Boko Haram emerged subsequently and says it’s fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal justice system, who do you want to continue to share one Nigeria with your Arewa north of Nigeria?

Let the assumed drug sellers and Kogi Jews and children of absentee parents have their own country different from yours. Why the stupid propaganda blackmail?

And this is what this Akande had to to say in the responsibility shifting game?

Does he not hear of the crumb stops on the master’s table?

Official corruption of President Buhari placing less qualified members of his ethnoreligious group in government positions, is worse than monetary corruption.

Go and meet Fayose.

Shebi when Buhari proposed it you said he wanted to eat the money.

Retrogressive element.

That’s on the outmoded narrow gauge rail lines built by the colonial master, while president Buhari government is proposing or building standard rail lines in Niger Republic.

Aba area has produced billions of Dollars from crude oil to Nigeria.

Nigeria is a country controlled by shameless people without conscience.

More and more desperation of Abokii and the army it controls for continuation of dysfunctional one Nigeria.

conductor20000:
This is exactly how it should be.

Nigeria as a whole should be begging Igbos to provide an intellectual (not Rochas and OUK) who will try and at least undo the economic havoc Saint Buhari hoisted on them in the past 7 years but no, they are too proud.

It will further give Nigerians a tangible excuse to give when Igbos demand Biafra or complain of the running marginalization.

I said, same way Nigeria always beg Igbos for unity is how they should be begging for Igbo presidency only more aggressively. If they were not selfish and wicked people whose only interest is to see Igbos suffer with them in the gaping monster shithole created by Lugard followed by Fulani and Yoruba presidents.

Thank God they're not listening sef. It would be a disadvantage to Igbos in our agitation for our separate peaceful, fair and organic country which is already written. He who the gods want to kill, they will make mad and block his ears first.

SAY NO TO IGBO PRESIDENCY. We DON'T WANT. WE WANT BIAFRA. They should go and beg Thiefnubui to become president of Nigeria or even make Booboo life president.

Rotation has been it for emergence of president of Nigeria since return to democracy in 1999 after the skewed and lopsided political structure of Nigeria created by northern military dictators to favor only the old northern region of Nigeria.
Every northerner or southwestener knows it’s the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to PMB.

Who expects the Igbos to kneel down and beg for what the Igbo merits?

Now you are trying to run away from your statement. You wrote, "You seem to be glad". It's a very simple thing, show where I said that I was glad or anything like that. Stop trying to shift the goalpost and simply back up your statement. Where did I say I was glad. All the other bullshit that you are trying to pull won't work with me.

I can post what I wrote and back it up, because it was as clear as day. Can you back up your post?






In what way is your weird post related to mine? Where did I say that I was glad??

You wrote that the federal ministry of works moved to work on the road since 2019, and that president Buhari is expected to commission the road during his visit today in Lagos.

So, I told you that you are apparently happy that federal government is reconstructing streets in states. But we have a federation.

Must state capital be specially different from other towns in Abia state? No.
Make Aba become livable once again; don’t ask for flyovers and tunnels and possibly, underground metro in Umuahia because it’s state capital, while Aba and other Abia towns stink with underdevelopment.


Don’t be like people in Imo state who have reduced their state and its development process to become affairs of Owerri state capital.

I have no time for all these silly and stupid arguments that people bring up during election season. What the hell is, "You seem to be glad"?? Can you show me where I said that I was glad? What kind of nonsense is this.

I've had to go down Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island at least once a month in the past 4 years and I have been shocked at the condition of the road. It was riddled with potholes and I was surprised that such an important road, which leads to Eko Atlantic City, the NTA, Silverbird Galleria, Naval Dockyard and other important facilities, could be left to deteriorate in such a shocking manner.

The Federal Ministry of Works moved to the site in 2019 and they have completely reconstructed the road from the Eko Hotel junction all the way to Marina. I believe that President Buhari will commission it during his visit.

You seem to be glad that Federal government takes charge of reconstruction of streets in states. Why is Nigeria dubiously called a federation?

complexBoss12:


The feds are after IPOB, why?? Because their agitation is a treasonable offence and and secession is against the constitution.

How come nobody sees that Sharia law goes against the Constitution and seeks to established an Islamic government inside Nigeria??

Issues are that most of the people in the south of Nigeria don’t understand that Islamic Sharia criminal justice system adopted by the northern sharia states is unconstitutional.

Mainly Muslim military dictators from northern Nigeria who supervised the 1999 constitution refused to include Islamic Sharia criminal laws in the constitution because they knew the chaos it would cause in Nigeria of plural religious faiths.

But beginning 1999 when the sharia states adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal justice system, the sharia states literally carved out a new Islamic state for the region but still cling to one Nigeria because of lucre.
With Boko Haram which subsequently emerged and says that it’s fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal justice system, it’s a question of when Nigerians in the south shall be overwhelmed with violence and the country renamed Islamic Republic of Nigeria.

Brexxit:


When we where warning them on this forum about the consequences of the jailbreak by UGM at Owerri on this forum they called us names like"afonja".

The same police and army they want UGM to kill are the ones now rescuing them from armed robbers.

Imo state has turned into a den of terrorists,thieves and bandits.

The funny part to it all is that Igbos on this forum would like to pretend everything is well.

By the time UGM is done with them, somalia would look like paradise to imolites.

You with your co-Islamists deserve pity.

You wish for a part of your one Nigeria to be like Somalia. But you never knew that people from the area might continue to move and grab your lands, including your papa’s burial ground.
Unity begged with foolish blackmail.

ChiefSosa:
That'll be the second Independence day in Nigeria. I honestly don't see any valuable thing we gain from the North.

Boko Haram is fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.

Twelve northern sharia states adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws.
In 2001, Muhammadu Buhari said he would not stop fighting until Islamic Sharia criminal laws are used all over Nigeria.

The earliest demands from Tanko Mohammed appointed by President Buhari as CJN was for Islamic Sharia criminal laws be included in Nigeria’s constitution.


So figure it out what all the leeway given to Boko Haram by the government of today is all about.

Southern politicians are waiting for the day Boko Haram and ISWAP collect all of Nigeria and declare Nigeria an Islamic country.

Nothing that Igbos will not hear in this country.
Just reading this Arewa youth man makes one sick.
If not for the skewed political structure created by northern soldiers to favor Arewa north economically and politically, how could this Arewa man get the guts to address the Igbos in this insulting manner?
If he doesn’t understand that zoning determines how Nigeria chooses president, because of the skewed political structure, and that the zoning formula dictates that it’s the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to PMB, he is in for a big struggle against the Igbo.
