tutudesz:
You think UN can break Nigeria

It will affect Buhari because he won't have enough money to spend on such days!

Poiu11:
Tinubu is a northerner like him. Tinubu is not yoruba name. He just grewup in lagos to understand yoruba

No wonder, someone once said he Tinubu and Tambuwal are from the same family.

AchalugoNwa:
Hahahahaha we shall see
keep living in your delusion
Apc was formed with the collation of cpc acn anpp and APGA faction of okorocha
Infact Okorocha gave the name Apc and kept them alive throughout his tenure in South East
without him Apc might not get the required percentage in south east to win the presidency.

Yoruba at the other hand is highly and grossly overrated in Apc
since formation of Apc yoruba has never given Apc a bloc votes like SE/SS gives to PDP
even in 2015 change tsunami it was not a clean sweep.
come 2019 it was a close call between pdp and Apc and Tinubu has to rig heavily with thugs to retain his Lagos.
Same southwest a whole VP lost his poling unit yes let me refresh your memory on that, the osibanjo you're talking about lost his poling unit.
Pdp nearly took osun if not for the brazen rigging that happened.

so what's your point in Yorubas investing in Apc?
you guys keeps hyping this yoruba Apc blah blah blah
Infact the people that made Apc stronger is the north that always give Apc a clean sweep
that's how to know where a party stands.
as it stands Apc are not even sure of getting 50% votes in Yorubaland sef that's why they're still unsettled with the zoning issue because they knew that any wrong move, they're gone.

Let me tell you how northerners play politics
they don't do party stuff like you guys
as far as it's same North, same ideology and goal
trust me even Buhari will not back a southern candidate over a northerner.

the north is not done yet with power and they're monitoring the situation.
the only way the south can claim power is through unity and I don't see that happening because yorubas will try to be greedy even after producing president and vice president since democracy.
on the other hand
it's either South East president or the North continues because we'll help them achieve that since una wan play politics abi.

It's unfortunate you guys don't understand Nigeria politics and still view things from 2015 aspects.
things have changed

if Buhari can support Obaseki who is pdp just to spite Tinubu then you think he'll allow him close to power or any of his associates?
north no dey do party oo
better get that into your head


Btw I don't care if you're from Afghanistan
this is Nairaland and we know as e dey go

Don't be deceived, Gov Dave Omahi is the candidate that will win the APC presidential primaries.

Amaechi2023:
the South East didn't really have a say in the APC but ruling them out completely would be the greatest undoing of the west.
That said. If the ticket is going to the west(tinubu) I guess then his biggest challenge would be picking a northern vice as Christian.( to be honest in today's Nigeria, no Christian Northerner can give you a strong say in the north politically)
Now this is where the east might have a say in the primaries. The likes of Rochas and uzor Kalu.
If this two can agree to work together (which is near impossible) then tinubu camp would be shaken.
Imagine a Rochas who at same time is also admired by northerners.
All he needs is a strong northern vice who'll call the shots..
Elrufai, zulum, fintiri, are strong northerners who are not tinubu loyalist.
Now when it comes to primaries no doubt Rochas would pull up the eastern votes and south south majority votes.
Tinubu would pull the west, north west also and have a say in the north east but Rochas for sure would definitely call the north central delegates..
Now it's evenly splited. As it looks tinubu has the upper hands due to his consistency and continuous permutation but ruling out the east is a no go area.
Buhari which we both know would only give tinubu his full support only if the likes AMAECHI and Rochas two of whom he also respects don't come for the ticket.

You are wrong sir.


Gov Dave Omahi is likely to defeat all the people you mentioned.

Dave Omahi as President and Yahyah Bello as Vice president will defeat the PDP.

Monogamy:
Let SE demand the presidency from Pdp..

Which investment do SE have with Almajiri/Ewedu party

Gov Dave Omahi is likely to win the APC presidential primaries.

Ruggedniggaone:
The only apc candidate that has brighter chance of winning is osibanjo any other candidate is a waste of time. because I see pdp going for northerners and the only apc candidate that can drag north with pdp northern candidate in the presidential election is osinbanjo forget about tinubu because aboki know about his looting records so his candidacy is dead on arrival

So Abokis are really against looting?

Bluntguy:
It's the South East's turn.

Gov Dave Omahi is likely to be the Flag bearer of the APC.

LikeAking:
Its easier for religious men to raise funds. Religious men are very good when it comes to bring up religious people only. They are not too good when it come to other carers.

It's far easier for these 'real men with experience in life' to raise funds because they understand life better.

So Exam fraud has been 'normalized' in Nigeria that Exam Frauds Practitioners now freely advertise their frauds on social media?

LikeAking:
Rip to the dead.

Nigerian parents must ensure puplic universities are functional and world class standard.

They cant be wasting their funds in the so called private uni.

We the blacks love short cut too much.


Parents spending too much on education is one of the hidden reason many Nigerian shave remained very poor for all these decades.

In the developed world only the very rich send their kids to private unis and co, but in Nigeria the very poor and average send their kids to private unis and co with their last card. Not cool.

The religious private unis too dey over do. These students will not be pastors when they grow up. Unis should be ran by real men with exp in life, not religious men.

Nigerian parents dont understand the true meaning of education.

What stop these so-called 'real men with experience in life' from establishing and running their own universities?

And who told you that students don't die in public universities?


Both Bowen University and the Lawani family are correct.

Most likely, Precious had a seizure attack, fell down and sustained a skull fracture with intracranial heamorrhage leading to her untimely death.

ImmaculateSpenc:
I presume since you’re from Enugu, you should know more places, than the Getto of Enugu. It’s like one saying Sheta in Lagos is the face of Lagos.

Show us pictures of other places too.

But if it's the video/pictures of old , rustic parts of Ibadan that is being shown, you won't be saying 'this is not the race of the city'

FarahAideed:
Nothing is stopping Bokharam and Bandits from taking over Abuja except for the presence of Buhari there .. remove Buhari today and Boko Haram and bandit will enter Abuja within 3 weeks

So why hasn't Boko Haram taken over at least one State since 2009 they have been fighting, with attendant wastage of lives of their members and their communities?

mrsage:
The herdsmen, bandits plus boko haram in Nigeria do not have the manpower to take over the entire country.


Afghanistan is made up of 99.7% muslims.

In Nigeria Muslims make up about 50% of the population.

How can we end up in the same situation?

Thank you sir.

I am still surprised that some people think Boko Haram (Nigerian version of the Taliban of Afghanistan) can take over Nigeria.


1) The whole population of Afghanistan= 4.6 Million with about ten RELATED Tribes. Pashtun tribe which is the tribe of The Taliban alone= 42%, Tajik ,a closely related tribe= 27%.

Religion of Afghanistan= 99.7% Islam.

2) Nigeria:

Population= 200 Million
Tribes= over 300 tribes

Religion= Islam= 50%
Christianity= 40%
African Traditional Religion= 10%

illicit:
Osama bin laden, leader of the Taliban

Osama Bin Laden was the leader of Alqaida NOT The Taliban.

The Taliban led by Mullah Omar were ruling Afghanistan between 1996-2001 and they gave shelter to Osama Bin Laden when he was stripped of his Saudi citizenship and also expelled from Sudan in 1998.

RiceProducers:
Splitting Nigeria "peacefully".
You can see most IQs are low and idiots are free ranging because social media has democratized access to propagating hairbrained ideas.

The idea of peaceful splitting.. and that the splitted countries dwell in peace and happiness after can only arise in the minds of desperate, hateful and neurotic people.

If you start splitting now please resign yourself to mob sense, modern warlordism, ethnic cleansing, killings, slavery, rape and a thousand points of conflicts not only in Nigeria but the entire West Africa spreading southwards.

Actually I think it is time the FG starts monitoring social media and arresting people for all types of ideas that could break up the country.

It is getting too much that any social misfit can wake up and post incendiary stuff

Nigeria was created by the British and the people of Nigeria have God-given rights to decide if they want to continue as parts of Nigeria or not.
Nothing is sacrosanct about the unity of Nigeria.

AngelicBeing:
Hian, you have started again with your analysis, l am the new Ambassador of Nigeria representative in the Catalonia, I accept Biafra, Arewa, ijaw, oduduwa, ijaw, Itshekiri, urobho passport, visa and passport fee is 6000 Euros and you will get 50years multiple entry visa

Why did MASSOB stop selling Biafran International Passports? It used to be common in Ebonyi State around 2023.

onuman:
Wishful thinking - all. Were you born after military rule in Nigeria?

Ask any over 40 year old educated and politcally conscious Nigerian to explain to you why Boko Haram hasn't been able to capture Aso-Rock transforming to the Government of Nigeria despite fighting since 2009 suffering great loss of lives.

Gordieshegz:
You may not be completely right about this if you consider these questions.
Did the whole of Nigeria share the ideologies of military regimes? Did Nigeria break up when that happened?

Terrorism is way deeper than that, and remember that every tool of government is presently in the hands of the Northern people who share terrorists' orientations.
It may be very unlikely but not impossible.

First, you wrongly assumed that Boko Haram is similar to the Nigerian Military.

Second, the Military rule gained acceptability across different parts of Nigeria (this doesn't mean that the whole of the population shared their ideologies) and the Nigerian Military had members from different parts of the country. Even, at this there were political instability with coups and counter coups fuelled by ethnic diversities, so what makes you think that Boko Haram, a group of illiterate and largely Kanuri Muslim fanatics will gain better acceptability and succeed where the Nigerian Military fail?

SARSCoV2:
You are far from the truth.

The North share same interest irrespective of religious beliefs.

Ahmed and Paul in the North are one. They will always put their interest first. It's not like the South were you have this division.

This is definitely not true.


Politics is about interests and greater the differences between the people ,the wider the interests.

Theocracy (Government based on religion) often fail in the long run especially as population increases and becomes multi-ethnic.

GenBuhari:
These pictures are very interesting and make me want to learn more about Idi Amin and to not rely purely on Western propaganda or view of him.

The interesting thing is the white men carrying him seem to be happy and enjoying it. They were properly paid well.

The white men carrying President for life, El-Hajj, Field Marshal (Dr) Idi Amin Dada were not paid but serving 'punishment' .


In my own view, I think Idi Amin had a mental health problem but many people didn't know it. I
The guy gave himself strings of titles that depicted delusions of grandiosity.

tommy589:
People who clamour to live under religious injunction,written over multiple centuries ago should watch handmaid's tale series. Watching it will jolt them back to see the beauty of modern laws and ways

The world needs to LEAVE Afghanistan alone!

After 10 years of Taliban rule, the Afghan people themselves will revolt and send them packing and the people will say never again.


The force that will annihilate the Taliban need to come from within and not from outside

justmondris:
Says who? If they can rule the entire north that means they have conquered army,military, Air Force and the police because all their headquarters are in north. So tell me why do you think they will not conquer the south and why you think they will allow you to disintegrate?

Boko Haram can't even successfully rule Borno State.
If Boko Haram are laying claim to to Aso-Rock, several other armed groups will also be inspired to lay claims to Aso-Rock. Even within Boko Haram, there will be hot contest for power leading to splinter Boko Haram groups.


Boko Haram or any ethno-religious terrorist group can ONLY become the Government of this country if Nigeria were a smaller country with about 10 (related) tribes practicing one religion and sharing similar world views like Rwanda or Somalia but Nigeria is very large and it's actually a comity of nations.

onuman:
When Boko Haram captures Aso Rock, it shall use Military Decrees and force of arms to hold all in Nigeria in one Nigeria - nothing can happen. The Western countries can’t intervene because Nigeria is seen as a democracy; therefore Boko Haram gaining power is part of formation of a nation.

Southern Christian politicians can only flee and bark from abroad, to no effect.

You are very naive.

1) Boko Haram capturing Asp Rock is no longer 'democracy'

2) Even as at present, it's very difficult for even elected Government to govern the whole country, hence the proliferation of armed groups that are not under the country of the government like Boko Haram, Killer Herdsmen, Armed Bandits, Niger Delta Militants and now IPOB's ESN. So what give you the impression that all these armed group will willfully submit to the authority of Boko Haram which they didn't elect?

3) As Boko Haram try to form Government in one State, several armed groups and splinter groups will surface. In the end, several armed groups and war lords will control their strongholds.

For instance, it will be very difficult for Boko Haram to rule Rivers ,Enugu or Benue States.

shedy03:
You will be surprised how easy it would be executed if it were to happen in Nigeria, they will rule over the whole country and there's nothing the fear-fear southern part can do.
Let's hope it does not happen.

Nigeria is a very large country with highly heterogeneous peoples. This factor mean, a president can only emerge with the aggrement/support of many ethnic groups. Most times it's difficult to get this widespread support.



Although there are about 10 small groups in Afghanistan, there is only one overwhelming ethnic group the Pashtun ethnic group and over 96% of the population are Muslims.

IamAsiri:
What I don't understand is how Buhari's nephew can be older than Buhari himself is

Haven't you seen many people in rural areas who are older than their uncles?


The reason is because some parents, especially in polygamous families give birth early and continue to give birth even when their oldest children have also started procreating.

BiafraAburi:
Yoruba has only one dialect. Stop confusing the languages of Owo, Ijebu, Ekiti, Ijesa, Ifẹ, Ondo, and Akoko, Ilaje, Awori, and other people languages to yoruba.

What is the name of that 'only one dialect'?

feezay86:
Taliban has taken total control of the country. This would have happened during GeJ, Boko haram jihadists would have taken over the Government because the North was totally in support of it.

Nigeria is different from Afghanistan. The Taliban succeeds in Afghanistan because majority of the populace share their religious identity and/or ideaologies.

In Nigeria, if Boko Haram capture Aso-Rock, they will only be able to rule over the core North and this will speedily leads to disintegration of Nigeria.

AlexBells:
What do you mean by what Is my point does that publication look like my handwriting, first of all, 10 million pounds adjusted in accordance with inflation tools today is not less than 200 million pounds and today we use the naira since you don't want to look into inflation that will billions of naira.

Then the account you quoted looked at the investment side using compound interest, we are not just assuming he had kept 10 million pounds in the bank since then, some where used to buy lands and other investments which if increased 10% per annum given his investment trend at then, check 10% of now $200 million pounds over the stretch of the past 55 years in a compound interest that's called prospective statistics.

I do understand that according to B Disraeli, there are three types of lies, 1. Lies, Dammed lies and 3. Statistics but the true lie here is you which thinks that you puncture a hole in my argument just so it won't sale, this argument simply started as a question "how can the son of the richest man in the country at then be so money motivated that he wishes to divide the country that made the fathers wealth and his wealth possible".

I had told you the only Challenger was Dantata whose Dynasty Re surfaced today as Dangote but Dantata was no longer around as he passed on in 1950 but we are looking at from 1956 to 1966.

Okay, you have won!


Sir Ojukwu was worth $4 Billion in 1967.

I hope this makes you happy.

AlexBells:
Okay, if you don't value any of the evidence I had provided, then please can you reference such your authentic platform like Forbes and tell me who was the richest Nigerian alive at the time since you had disregard every other publications please who was the richest Nigerian between 1956 and 1966 let's start there.

The only challenger could have been Alhaji Dantata but you seem to forget Dantata died in 1955 and the time of argument we centered on was the lead up to 1966 to 67, with Dantata no longer in the picture, I don't think there would be any challenger around 1966, you seem to forget during those days, Forbes and all the rest was not focusing on Nigeria as just an emerging country.

But let me give you the benefit of doubt, who do you think was the richest man in Nigeria between 1956 and 1966 if you don't have any candidate then don't tell me the whole country was a flat wealth.

Stop shifting goal posts, what exactly is your point?


That Sir Loius Odumegwu-Ojukwu was a $Billionaire in 1967 or 10million pounds in 1967 now equals $4Billion?

BiafraAburi:
Benin IleUbinu migrant, stop talking already. We know that there are few of you IleUbinu migrants amongst Anioma and Ika people, but at the right time, you will be chased back to IleIfe in Yoruba land where you all migrated from.

You can't chase anybody away from their land,as a matter of fact, once Biafrans cross the border (River Niger) into any part of the present Delta State, they will be seen and TREATED as Foreign Invaders. This mistake was the single greatest mistake made by Ojukwu that led to the cascade of reactions that eventually liquidated Biafra.

You modern Biafran irredentists ought to learn from History.

AlexBells:
Check out this one from punch

You keep falling below standards.
So an article in Punch Newspapers is the same as Forbes ratings? Is Punch known for rating of Billionaires? Anybody can write anything in Punch as a News Item but such doesn't represent expert opinions on any matter.

In 2002, one prominent Nigerian Newspaper had a headline ' Harry Akande is the 7th richest man in the world'


If you want reference on International Politics, you can qoute TIME Magazine,
If you want reference on Medical Publications, you can qoute THE LANCET.

If you want ratings of Billionaires, you can qoute Forbes Magazine or IMF but not the opinions of a random guy (not even an editorial) published in The Punch Newspapers.


Quoting a fake Forbes website and an article written by a random , unknown guy in Punch Newspapers as your reference cast dounbts on the credibility of your assertion.

AlexBells:
I don't want to insult you, 4 billion in todays equivalent, how are they able to calculate richest person ever if the value of the money is not adjusted for inflation, lol, products of free education.

You have to adjust the value of the money in todays value to arrive at how rich someone actually was, how are wealth of earlier wealthy people like Vandabilt, John D Rockefeller, Henry Ford, JP Morgan be rated in todays sense if it were not adjusted to account for inflation and value change lol.

I am telling you that the website is fake (a clone) and not from Forbes.


You guys just love propaganda.


Sir Ojukwu's business were mainly;

1) Road Transport

2) Shares and stocks of qouted companies

3) Landed properties.

All these were great business for a country just coming out of colonialism but couldn't have made him a Billionaire even when we adjust for inflation.


Nigeria was a very backward and poor country in 1967. Most people in Nigeria at that time were rural peasants.
