What's is his gain in this contraception except, immoraly corrupt society. “And the life of this world is nothing but play and amusement. But far better is the house in the hereafter for those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious). Will you not then understand?” (Quran, Al-An’aam: 32)

Is better to save our community than accept Alcohol VAT Money and lose our religion, culture and Morality. One Nigeria is actually against the North

But you have never for once rejected the Alcohol VAT money and your leaders are vehemently opposed to any re-arrangement that can make each State to be collecting it's VAT.

Honestly, I still don't understand why elected Public office holders across the length and breadth of Nigeria even have time for this man that has no electoral worth.



If FFK should contest for councillorship in his hometown of Ile-Ife , he will be defeated with a wide margin.

There are bad roads in ALL States of the Federation.
We need alternative systems of funding the constructions and maintenance of roads.


1) Let the FG hands up from the constructions and maintenance of roads and allow each States to contstructs roads within their territories.

2) More resources should be redistributed to the and generated by the States to fund and maintain their roads.

3) States that can finance the construction and maintenance of their roads can privatize these roads to the private sector.

garfield1:
Not true.it was originally introduced by the military government as sales tax.the nass renamed it VAT.states at no point ever collected VAT

You are wrong sir.

VAT was introduced by the Abacha Junta in 1994 to replace (with wider coverage) the Sales Taxes previously being collected by States Governments. Then, the renowned Tax Consultant, Olusola Adekanola & Co was saddled with the responsibilities to collect VAT on behalf of the Abacha Junta.

Stop typing nonsense. There is a video on YouTube where ElRufai exonerated him from any wrong-doing during the privatization exercise.
You all are hopeless hypocrites. Osibanjo is part of a failed administration and no sane person should be thinking of handing over this nation to that clueless clown.

You are unnecessarily rude, lack decorum and the capacity for comprehension even though you stands to personally gain nothing from whoever becomes the president.


Was why post about Osibanjo or handing over any Nation to anyone?


Nobody hands over power to anyone, let alone a whole nation with millions of electorates.


Any candidate desirous of becoming the president should throw his cap into the ring and the the winner be elected. QED.

slimghost:
He is a hopeless hypocrite cum tribalism. They blame Atiku for the wrongdoings of Obasanjo’s administration but struggle to exonerate the BDSM Pastor from the failures of the mannequin.
Bloody nitwits.

OBJ saddled Atiku with many tasks (especially the chairmanship of the privatization council) but he got his hands soiled.

El-Rufai who was the secretary of the council at that time wrote negatively about Atiku in his book 'The Accidental Public Servant' and Obasanjo himself made damning remarks about his conducts during the Administration.


In any case, Politics in third Countries like Nigeria is a complex art of corruption, scheming, strategy and witts.

Ovamboland:
We've been telling them that hanging the political future of a whole region on the mantra that northerners don't vote for southerners is not a strategy but mere emotional response. Even though the real evidence on ground doesn't support that mantra, the emotion is so strong. Same people who just got bitten by incumbent don't lose elections in Nigeria, you'd think they've learnt anything in 6 years.

As we continue this democratic journey, so many issues will crop up and we will deal with these issues to become better.

The Buhari Administration have certain flaws that will eventually be blessings in disguise.

Doradorwa:
He's gonna use it against you mam...

Is it a crime to have vaginal infection?

Gobdddd:
INEC should let us be.

We're ok the way they kept us.

Nigeria and Nigerians will never forgive Atahiru Jega.

They have caused us more harm than good.

They are the architect of Nigeria's problems.

Let them be more worried about the NE and leave is here alone.

It's not by force to be a Nigerian.

We don't need their crook selection, called election.

What we want is Bifar.

Am not here to argue with anyone. You can argue with your chinko fone

Relax, Atiku is cuming to give you Bifar.

FAKE NEWS ALERT. the nation that is Tinubu newspaper has no office nor correspondent in SE and SS This is mere conjecture to massage the ego of Yoruba. If APC fields a Yoruba candidate, PDP and Atiku will flush them. By the way how will APC deal with muslim-muslim ticket

How old are you?

Are new in Nigeria?

Is this the first time that elected Governors will be decamping from one party to another,especially the opposition party to the ruling party?

Was it not in the same country that Govs Dave Umahi and Bello Matawalle decamped from the PDP to the APC? What gives you the impression that if these could decamped , others can't decamp?




I am still surprised that some of you guys on this forum really put your trust in (Nigerian) Politicians.

chigoziri2403:
This one party system will be the end of this country

Relax, Atiku is cuming.

SlayerForever:
Absolute rubbish. Logic turned on its head. In your bid to antagonizing anything Igbo you have vomited something that questions your mental health. Good to see.

This isn't about antagonism.

Tribes emerge from tribes especially tribes that live in close proximity to each.

It's very naive to assume that descent of Nembe from Igbo and Izon is possible but regard the possibility that some igbo clans may actually have descended from Nembe and Ekpeye as 'antagonism' of Igbo interests.



No tribe descended from Heaven.

SlayerForever:
[s][/s]


The only reason you feel you can talk is that you think Yoruba being second class citizens to the Hausa Fulani is okay so far as you get crumbs from the table. So you feel assured in your existence : All is well. This is what being an Omoluabi has become : being a cooperative errand boy to the caliphate.

When the blade does go down on the Yoruba scrotum for sure, we will be here to see you still frequent Igbo threads.

The post is about Southern Minority tribes.



You can open another thread about the Yorubas and everything that you think is wrong about them.

chiiraq802:
Then there was no strong opposition like APC... PDP was just the Big player and they agreed on when the Presidency should go to North or South.

Currently Nigeria is divided among Religious and Ethnic lines. personally i don't believe in Nigeria or sham elections ... but i seriously want a Southern President in the mould of Akeredolu or Ameachi but the Northerners and Fulanis will not think twice if given chance to vote for there brother ooo.

Some Hausa/guys that stays at my area recently went to there states ...Staunch Sai baba supporters ooo, but as they came back...

When dem dey discuss for there language about politics...dem go dey chant Sai Atiku....
These guys knows what they are doing but God no go shame us.

Nigerian democracy needs to mature.

Politics is dynamic and not static. There are many things that need to happen to define our democratic culture.

Bursting of certain myths will help to reforce the democratic culture of this country.

A candidate from ANY region can defeat a candidate from ANY region if he and his political party work well enough for the victory.

proeast:
Minorities of SS are just lucky to have Igbos as neighbors. We have enough evidence to claim most of Rivers State, half of Delta and parts of Bayelsa and Edo states as our territories. However, we are business minded in nature which now makes small ethnic groups like ijaws to be encroaching on our lands.

This mindset is the major reason most of the Southern Minority tribes supported the FG against Biafra during the civil war and are presently vehemently opposed to inclusion of their peoples into IPOB drawn Biafran Map

It is the same reason why Rivers State was created in the first instance, the same reason why the Stadium in Port Harcourt was named LIBRATION Stadium and Gov Wike recently renamed it YAKUBU GOWON Stadium.

SlayerForever:
The area of research we are focusing on now is why the Izon and Nembe don't understand each other. We observed there are similarities but we also know despite these similarities they are distinct people. It would seem the Nembe are descended from Igbo and Izon mix of cultures mainly, with the Igbo being the bulk of the mix, as well as other cultures contributing too. Hence the distinction and drift from Izon, and resulting closeness to Igbo. But it is all hypothesis until proven with more information.

It may also mean that Igbo partly descended from Nembe with contributions from neighbouring ancient tribes like Ekpeye.

chrisxxx:
That is what the fools do not know. It is even more than 6. In Obio Akpor we don't speak the same. Where I come from the same Obio Akpor with Wike, Wike will prefer I speak English. Though I understand his own Ikwerre very well but mine has some variation.
For instance if I want to say here I would say: nha Wike would pa.
There: me: nham, Wike;Pepi or pi.
The Obio and Akpor variation is about 5%.
Then when you get to Emuoha the variation becomes more pronounced. The further you move from PH to Ikwerre communities along east west road the more difference you get. But most times those in the deep end understand us in the urban areas of pH and Obio Akpor than we understand them.
They have the v sounds of the Benin.
Me; Come I say Bia someone from Emuoha would say Va.
Me; Person: I say Badu. Emuoha: Vadu.
Hall: me Obiri , Emuoha: Oviri.
Nnamdi Kanu in his London hut started broadcasting lies and educated Igbos who know the difference between the Ikwerre man and the Igbos started listening to him.
The competition we have in Rivers State is such that if truly the Ikwerres were Igbos it would not be the Igbos saying it. Kalabari would lead the campaign. If not then okirika or the Ogonis. But together with these tribes we all passed through the torture of our colonial masters the Igbos. The civil war liberated us. And that was why a stadium was built and named liberation stadium. As if that message wasn't passed clear enough Wike changed the name recently to Yakubu Gowon Stadium.

You have a deep understanding of the Igbo-Ikwerre situation.

chrisxxx:
Fool. You think the whole Ikwerre speak one dialect. Let me educate you su ntolo.
Ikwerre found in ph and Obio Akpor call kindred Rumu.
Those in Ikwerre lga call Oma and Omu.
Those close to the boundary with imo state call Umu just same as the Igbos. Those in Emuoha call Emu.

If Ikwerres itself has 3-4 dialects, how come they always say Ikwerre is a dialect of Igbo?

chrisxxx:
Ikwerre is going back to Benin. Igbo is going back to Israel. The whole of the south east belongs to the Fulanis. History has it that they first settled in South East. But for moving of cattle from place to place the Igbos arrived from Israel and took over their land.
Buhari has this history and it is a mission that will be accomplished.
Children of Gad and Eri must go back to Israel. Ikwerre must go back to Benin.

Hmnnn, I see

Okay.

Democracy is a process and not an event.


We need different kinds of sceneries to come up to test the dept and nature of our democracy.



However, anyone that has a good understanding of presidential elections in this country will know that the PDP is presently disadvantaged and will need a lot of political engineering in the next 12 months to be in a position to win the presidential election.

OfficialAPCNig:
We know what we are doing.

SE/NE in APC.

NE/SE in PDP

You aren't hearing the latest News.

The PDP is settling for a NE/SS ticket.

Anago55:
. The burning of the inec offices were as a result of the mishandling

The youths were peaceful in their agitations in 2015-2017 until the python danced remember?

Burning of INEC offices with electoral materials means that votes from that axis will be low.

Every party (especially an opposition party that want to dislodge an incumbent party) needs a lot of votes to win.

Anago55:
With this arrangement or should I say permutations? Any Igbo man that partakes in the Nigerian election 2023 is a bastard and should be regarded as an outcast knowing fully well that igbos have been schemed out again as usual. We can't continue to vote in others year in year out with the others considering one of our own as good enough and you expect me to continue to queue in the hot sun to vote while I remain a second class citizen of my own country


Igbos, now is the time to give up on the Nigerian project because Nigeria has no plans to integrate us into her. Quit the illusion that an Igbo man will ever rule this country. It's not happening, not in this generation at least

I was an advocate for Igbo presidency 2023, A United Nigeria where justice strives but with this,my heart is broken to shreds and I don't think it can be sown again

Igbo leaders, shame on you all. The scheming out started the moment the Igbo leaders allowed python dance one and two. The orchestrators knowing fully well that igbos have sympathy for Biafra manipulated the Eastern leaders into queing with their evil plan of gazzetting IPOB as terrorist group,this singular act was where the Eastern governors and other leaders lost the people as well as the chance to produce the next president of this country. Now everything is lost ,I wonder what the likes of Umahi and other leaders will be feeling like now, knowing that the igbos are not even considered good enough for even vice president position,A supposed majority tribe ooo

*Sobs

I quit

I defect fully to the other side

2023: All of you should really round and vote for Prof Kingsley Moghalu

Praxis758:
These are brainwashed folks.

This is a total distortion of history and chronology.

The scriptures is very clear in explaining how the 'lost tribes of israel' came about. Pls read this following:

1Chronicle 5 : 23 - 26
23 So the children of the half-tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land. Their numbers increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to Senir, or Mount Hermon.

24 These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their fathers’ houses.

25 And they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.

26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, that is, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria. He carried the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into captivity. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan to this day.



I hope those unambiguous scripture passages settle and clarify the etiology of the lost tribe of Israel.

And it must be noted that none of the jews historians both old and contemporary has research works or writings that supports all these fallacies by the Igbos.

I'm sure the Igbos do not know better that than Josephus who was a contemporary of Jesus and whose writings about the Israelites are still regarded as the best piece in secular narration.

So all these shameful lies about Gad and Eri must stop.

How can you know the history of a people more than the people?


IPOB Igbos originated from Israel.

LegendHero:
Na you know. We go know how things go be by next year.

However in the spirit of Southern unity, PDP should please zone the ticket to the SE.

The PDP has zoned it's ticket to the North and chairmanship to the South.

Peter Obi is scheming to be the running mate to Atiku in 2023. He doesn't need the S/West to actualize this.

Corporate2020:
Saraki is a confirmed betrayer. He is lobbying for the South to product PDP Chairman so that the Presidency will be zoned to the North. He will never die well. This idiot has refused to accept the fact that he will never be Nigeria's President. The reason is simple. The Hausa/Fulani/Kanuri will never give their slot to a Kwara man whom everybody knows is a Yoruba man. The Yorubas will nevr ever give their slot to an Ilorin man whose forefathers betrayed the Yorubas and who he himself has been betraying Yorubas and claiming he is a Northerner. It's so simple.

Rotational presidency between the North and South will make it difficult for Ilorin people to become president because of their dual identities.

emmykk:
Because the yorubas are betrayal and greedy they have been supported by PDP to get to the presidency for 8yrs through other tribes and region in the south but when you expect them to recipocate that gestures they went and support northerns to get VP position....is that good?

People who aren't members of any political parties make childish comments like this.


1) Politics is about interests. Every have certain personal interests.

2) For ordinary citizens (masses) like you that don't get anything directly from the Government, your interests may be limited to having someone from your tribe become the president or preventing someone from a tribe that you hate.


3) For peoples that are members of a political party, they have other interests that goes beyond tribes.

For floor members of political parties that attend rallies from one town to another, singing, dancing and shanting party slogans , they aren't just doing all these because of tribes but for what they stand to gain if their parties come to power e.g contracts to supply wooden planks to roof the community primary school, employment slots in NSCDS, N-power, FRSC etc.

For upper echelon of the party, they will support their parties to win because they they will be in power as LG chairmen, House of Assembly members, Governors, Senators , Ministers etc.

Timi Sylva worked for APC victory in 2015 to earn a Ministerial post , despite being a kinsman and a former beneficiary of GEJ.

Rotimi Amaechi also worked for the APC despite being close to GEJ.

Odingo1:
North will continue ruling in 2023 if the other southerners cannot forge a common front and back Igbo presidency. Igbos did it for Obasanjo and GEJ. Let SW support Igbo presidency to show southern unity.

Haven't you seen the situations in the PDP that the party has zoned their ticket to the 'North'?

NaijirianKing:
Don't worry.

Field a christian-southern-pastor against a Northerner and we will see the outcome.

This didn't answer the questions I asked.

humility33:
Bro...in all honesty should PDP field atiku/obi and APC field a southwestern... i doubt APC will win 5 of the southeast states and 6 of the South states which they've never won in a presidential election

Then you have core northern states like sokoto, kanu,jigawa remove taraba 11 of those northern states may vote Atiku plus Niger State

The north I know dont vote along party lines but ethnicity

If the south west is really fair and just let the southeast be given the Presidency slot...you dont go tell me that there is no eligible south easterner in APC. The PDP you mentioned is desperate to claim power from APC come 2023 not the ibos fault that the best they can get is a VP slot and if that is the only available role for them.... forget a south westerner winning in the SS/SE

You guys keep making the same mistakes;

1) Nobody is giving anybody presidential ticket.

2) It's NOT the Yorubas that are preventing S/East candidates from contesting.

At least, there's no formidable Yoruba presidential aspirant in the PDP, yet the party is not considering an Igbo politician for it's presidential ticket.

3) A student who is not preparing to write JAMB shouldn't be insisting that his parents mustn't pay his brother's JAMB exam.
