Both of you have points only if you merge your views to arrive at an almagam.






Buhari can set aside #100Billion to transform 20 already existing companies in each of the six Geopolitical zones (#600 Billion in total) to triple their production,sophiscation and quality. These companies are to start paying back the 'bailouts intervention loans' after 3 years.

Wrong notion... Who told you that economics...?

Which one is yam head again?





You are a bad guy!

Valkrie:
This your description doesn't hold water...

Go to Okene and you would see many infact countless who would any day pass as a fulani person if not told...I have very close contact with these people and know them very well...

Do you know if el Rufai falls among the 10% who don't have yam head like Bello?

The quack auxiliary nurses are the main culprits of this trend. This is why I am against doctors training auxiliary nurses.

The real, qualified nurses are much better.

bigpicture001:
...with a clear sense of unbias, I created this thread for public discuss of the issues facing the medical industry especially the doctors..

Its a common knowledge that doctors spend a long period in school trying to master the science of saving life's....they purchase and read very voluminous text books, pay high school fees, do very tedious exams..and carefully master the art of treatment through Housemanship......

however these set of professionals find it very difficult making it whenever they set up a hospital as a sincere and helpful gesture of employment of nurses to aid their operations have turned out to be their Achilles heel...yes! the nurses....

The nurses, auxiliary, graduate and all have crafted a profession off the doctors to rip them off....they first come into the hospital agreeing to work for the firm with wages as low as 20k....and gradually, they corner all the hospital patients..going house to house on their off period hours to deliver unqualified services to patients at very cut price and compromising the health practice.....

This has forced a lot of hospitals to close and made the medical practitionals depend mainly on the FG for well paying jobs...since they cannot control the nurses......all over Nigeria the rush for the study of nursing is on a very high inclination because if this.....they know they will get a small job in the private hospital s,corner the patients with lower charges and attempt to treat them with rehearsals of what they see the doctors do......

.this is very unprofessional of the nurses and must be put to stop...because, this has taken over the entire country as the nurses are now accepted as the main provider of health services instead of the doctors who actually went to study the courses and knows better

What is your take on this..?

On average, women enjoy sex more because of the anatomy of the female reproductive parts.


Sex takes place inside the woman while the man only needs to use a stump out of his body for sex.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did well on this matter.

God bless him for this.

Boko Haram members watch porn videos, drink expensive alcoholic wines and also dance to normal hip-hop songs when they aren't unduty and want to relax.

ZombiePUNISHER:
useless headline

Who told you they were celebrating Easter?..
These are Muslims..

We know....

The topic is NOT about the Igbos or the civil war.

Every discussion on Nairaland need to be turned into Igbo/civil war affairs.

SLAP44:
Nigerians are crying for food just 2 weeks of peacefully staying at home forgetting that the Igbos faced starvation for 3 straight years while the Biafran war lasted?

And we must remember that for this last two weeks they are crying, nobody is bombing their markets, churches, schools, hospitals and refugee camps unlike what happened to the Igbos?

And no one is laying any land or sea or air blockade on Nigerians, nobody is shooting at both moving and unmoving targets this oast two weeks and yet they are crying?

Excuse me sir,



Did you attend any University and graduated with a degree?


It will be most unfortunate if a University graduate can write what you just posted.







Do you know the meaning of GDP at all? Is GDP calculated based on the tribes of the people within a defined area?

Does the GDP of the United States of America include the economic activities of Igbo, Egyptians, Indians, Mambids, Anabutas, Cherokees, Yorubas, Malaysians and Mexicans living and working in the US?

kettykings:
Are you going to count the contributions of igbo , chinese ,indian business men in lagos as part of the contributions of the south west ?
The north according to the write up did not count the contributions of igbo , chinese ,indian business men in the north as their contributions, they did not count the contributions of yoruba in the north as their contributions

Where in the Nigerian Constitution did you read that you need to win four Geopolitical zones? Are the Geopolitical zones in the Constitution? What is the definition of winning a Geo-Political zone? Is North in the Constitution?



The constitional requirements are as follows

1) HIGHEST number of votes (This is where Kano, Lagos, Katsina, Rivers, Kaduna, Oyo comes into play)

2) 25% of the votes cast in twenty four States.


With regards to the question of the North and their son;

* The North consist of 19 States, over 200 different tribes practicing different religions having different aspirations.

*The North is NOT a monolith entity .

Ordinarily, I don't see anything bad in a capable Fulani candidate succeeding another Fulani man as president but in Nigeria, this will raise dusts and this will start from the NORTH for these reasons;


1) Non-Fulani Northerners: There are several tribes in the North who rightly or wrongly feel the Fulanis are subjugating them politically, economically and socially.

The Buhari's Administration more than any regime espoused the supremacy of the Fulani tribe in Nigieria.

Asking these people to queue behind another Fulaniman to spend another 8years after Buhari to make 16 unbroken years of Fulani rule will not go down well with them.

2) The Hausa-Fulani: Class-A: These are Fulani supremacists who will only vote for a Fulani candidate (Atiku in this case)

Class-B: These are the Political Class who enjoy Fulani supremacy privileges but will not like to lose these supremacy built over the years on a myth that a Hausa-Fulani candidate will always defeat a Southern candidate.
However they will not like to subject this myth to any election that may possibly burst this myth.
Because of this factor, they won't support Atiku in 2023.

Class-C : These are Hausa-Fulani ambitious politicians who will not support Atiku because they too want to be president when power returns back to the North.

Some of these people may infact be warming up to serve as Vice President to Osinbajo or lobbying Osinbajo to make them Ministers, SGF, Chief of Staff etc.

gidgiddy:
This is simple mathematics. If Osibanjo emerges APC presidential candidate in 2023, he will need to win majority votes in 4 of the 6 geopolitical zones.

Osibanjo has no hope of winning majority votes in the SE/SS. That leaves him with the SW and the North

Why would the North leave one their sons to vote Osibanjo?

If Osibanjo does not carry the entire North, he has no chance of being president because all the votes in the SW cannot give him the votes and spread to be president

I just left the other thread because of you, only to meet you again here.

SURVIVOR2203:
I don't mean to distract you but I need to tell the good people of Nairaland my plight. I recently went through a gruelling and very serious surgery to treat an underlying infection which gravely threatened my life and well-being in one of the teaching hospitals in Nigeria. I have spent well about 500,000 and I was recently discharged. I don't want to be specific about the diagnosis and some details, except you kindly request for them, which I no doubt can sufficiently provide in details but in private. I am grateful to God I survived but I have indeed not been able to pay off my indebtedness, which is hanging on my neck like debt, I have also not been able to get the medication in line with the post surgery procedures,and I feel I am dying in instalments. I am in pain and weary,as I could not help myself or even feed majorly due to my financial distress and if course the Covid 19 scourge . I am indebted to the tune of 85,000 and I can barely get my medications and supplements. I am in dire need of help ,as I am weary,tired, depressed and giving up. Please request for every details of my admission and I am ready to furnish my would be helper. I know how traumatized I became with this illness that I survived, and I pray none of you but become afflicted. AMEN


PS I have to put up a new account and I am using mtn night internet plan to surf here and make this urgent SOS message.

Please help me I am losing hope. I am just hoping I get a lifeline and goodwill from members of this forum

You are fixated with what you percieved to be Osinbajo's weakness (his Yoruba ethnic groups) which you always compare with Atiku's perceived strength (his Northern identity).

It will be more objective if you compare strengths of Atiku Vs Strengths of Osinbajo and also compare weaknesses of Atiku Vs weaknesses of Osinbajo.

For the sake of simple analysis, let's assume the 2023 election is between

Osinbajo (APC) Vs Atiku(PDP)


Let me do some projections about the strengths/weaknesses of each candidate.


Atiku (PDP);

1) Strengths:
* Islamic religion,
* Appeal to SOME core Northerners
* Good understanding of the Private sector.
* Good connection across regional and tribal divides.
* Below expectation performance of the APC administration.

2) Weaknesses:

* Weakened Opposition party
* The Fulani identity:- Buhari the outgoing president and Atiku, the proposed incoming president are both Fulani men. Expect anti-Fulani resentments with fears of domination.

* Limited Funding of Presidential Campaigns.


Osinbajo/APC:-

1) Strengths
* Incumbent party controlling 21 States with political structures in every ward in Nigeria
* Incumbent Vice Presidency
* Federal Might
* Sound educational background
* Christianity
* Greater Funding of Campaign

2) Weaknesses

* Poor performance of the APC administration
* Yoruba ethnic identity: some voters will not vote for him just because of this.

gidgiddy:
In 2023, PDP will field either a Northerner or someone from the SE as its Presidential candidate, Obasanjo and GEJ have already taken the slot of the SW and SS in PDP

If PDP fields someone from the the SE then Osibanjo should forget the SS/SE. On the other hand, if PDP fields a Northerner, maybe Atiku, then you will see Northerners desert APC and switch to PDP as that will represent their best chance of keeping the Presidency in the North

Either way, it not good for Osibanjo

Don't mind giddygiddy, his understanding of politics is very shallow.

Unik3030:
so Igbos loved a Fulani man more than their own when they voted Atiku instead of other Igbo contenders

u really don't know d meaning of politics of interest

so y did Yorubas vote buhari when sowore contested too?

So in your own opinion, you genuinely believe that in 2023, if Osinbajo contest as the flagbearer of the APC, the results will be like;


APC= 6 States

PDP= 30 States +FCT.










































#No single politician in the top echelon of the PDP, not even Atiku who is most likely to be the flagbearer of the PDP and the direct beneficiary of this superb, error proof expected victory of the PDP can be this optimistic.

Even with an overbearing Obasanjo at the head of the PDP with almighty Federal might at their disposal, the PDP has never won 31 States.

gidgiddy:
Well if APC fields Osibanjo in 2023 then you better hope that all the votes in SW can deliver Osibanjo because thats the only zone he has any hope of winning

Let just say only about 5 million Nigerians can afford brand new cars.



The 200 Million population will make sense if we are considering


1) Indomie that sells between #50 to #100

2) Detergents that are sold for #50 per one satchet.

3) #100 MTN/GLO airtime cards

henryobinna:
its funny when Nigerians mention the population figure as a reason why we have a very big market. Bro we have a big market for some goods. Cars are expensive.

Out of that 200 million, how many can easily afford just 1 million naira?

out of that 200 million over 60% of it are either in poverty or living pay check to pay check, what we call hand to mouth here in Nigeria.

The other ones(say 20%) are just struggling to stay afloat, many can conveniently feed and maintain theit families but can't afford 'the luxury' of owning a car or would have to save for ages to do so. The last 20% are the ones who can afford to buy cars and stuff... that leaves every business such as the auto industry with roughly 40 million people as against your initial 200 million. Note that these figures are rough estimation and very certain the remaining who can conveniently afford a good car are much less than 40 million, infact the last 5 years has drastically reduced the figure.

The 200 million people population count would make sense if we're talking about businesses that sell food items or other commodities, not cars even airlines won't be stupid to do their calculation with 200 million people

With time, Innoson workshop should be like this

2023: Vote T.A Orji for President

Atiku/PDP will still win in the SE but their votes will be around 1.8Million votes but Osinbajo/APC will get about 500,000 votes.

In the SS, the APC will have more impressive performance but PDP may have a slight edge. (APC=1.3 Million ,PDP= 1.5 Million)


Political parties account for about 60-70% of the success of each candidate in an election. This why when it comes to legal interpretation, the mandate belongs to the parties.

If Buhari had contested the 2015 election on the platform of APGA or Labour parties, he would have lost.

Perkins2018:
If the south east fails to produce the pdp candidate and Osinbajo becomes the candidate, do you think any northern can defeat him in SS/SE? You take online banta too serious.

You don't win or lose presidential election because of only ONE factor but because of several factors.

You have consistently maintain that if Osinbajo/APC Should contest in 2023, they will lose because Osinbajo is a Yoruba man.

This single factor that you have pointed out may be the reason why YOU and some other voters may not vote for them. Now my questions;

1) Do you think MOST voters will not vote for them because of this reason?


2) Are there other reasons why some voters will vote for them? Are these voters likely be be in the majority?

gidgiddy:
In other for a person to become president of Nigeria, that person must win majority votes in at least 4 of the 6 geopolitical zones. The SS/SE will not vote for Osibanjo, he is a nobody there. Infact, most people in the SE/SS keep wondering why another Yoruba man should be president after 8 years of Obasanjo and the SE has not har it and the SS only had one term. So that means that Osibanjo must carry his native SW as well much of the North.


The question any Osibanjo supporter should ask is why the North would vote Osibanjo when they could vote another Northerner and make him president

If Jonathan were to be in the APC, he stands a good chance to win in 2023.

Esseite:
The North would partner with the SS, get the SE in the bag, at the same time the SW and SE would be satisfied due to their never ending squabble.. there would be little or no succession cry and no zoning agreement cry either..

The signs are glaring.. guess what, GEJ might even be the one to nominate a candidate.

You speak out of ignorance sir.


Agent-Host-Environment are the three basic factors that determine the spread of a disease like COVID-19.
1) The Agent: the same or slightly different variants of the same virus.

2) The Host: the average age of people in the US and Nigeria differ.

The genetics of Nigerians is different from the Americans.
Social factors like economic capacity for international travels or even air traffic is higher in the US than in Nigeria. This particular factor aid the spread of COVID-19.

3) The Environment: Temperature, Rainfall and humidity in the US, Italy and Spain are different from those in Nigeria

IamPlato:
where is el rufai and kyari?


Compare Newyork With Nigeria, who Is More Standard Enough To Contain A Virus Like this?


Our Government Have No Where To Fly To that Is Why They Are Still Here, If The Virus Is Here They Would Do everything Possible to Contain It, not Because They Love Us But Because They Are in Here With Us and Can Be Infected.

They Would Do All They Can And Even Pay Nigerians To Stay Indoors.


I Wish You See What I See

There is no need for speaking in parables sir.



Democracy is a process, it's not an event. Elections should be like a sport, those who win today may not win tomorrow.

Democracy in Nigeria goes beyond the 2023 presidential election which like all other elections will be contested by political parties and not regions/tribes.


1) Are ALL Northerners in the APC?

2) Are ALL Southwesterners in the APC?

Ezemust:
let the brotherhood btwn west n north continuo.but when the big brother strike a blow let non of them tell an outsider

If Osinbajo wins APC presidential ticket in 2023, his candidacy will have strengths and weaknesses.

You are not being objective by having a fixed mindset on what you perceive will be his areas of weaknesses. You didn't consider what will be his areas of strengths.

If you want to do a clear, objective and unbiased analysis, you will have to do SWOT analysis of Osinbajo/APC candidacy.



Great leaders, Military Commanders, Political Juggernauts, Corporate Chief Executives and all highly successful people don't take critical decisions by thinking only in one fixed direction.

They even have extra plans for their own possible failures, they anticipate betrayals before it happen, they consider elements of surprise, they estimate the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents as well.

gidgiddy:
APC was all about getting President Jonathan out. APC would have never won if they hadnt fielded a Notherner like Buhari. Thats why the North voted for the party, for them, it was "operation bring back power to the North"

In 2023, there will be no Buhari and the North are not keen to lose power. If APC fields a Southerner like Osibanjo, then APC will be seen by 5he North as no longer representing their interests, which is about holding on to power as long as possible. The North will rally behind another Northerner and produce the president

No matter how much anyone thinks the North loves Osibanjo, they can never love him as much as one of their own remaining in power

If Osibanjo has no support from the North, how will he ever be president? The SS/SE wont vote for him and all the votes in the SW cannot make him president

I have more chances of visiting planet Mars than Osibanjo ever becoming President in 2023

It seems you have a better understanding of Nigerian politics than giddygiddy

Ezemust:
the north could'nt vote buhari in in 2011.the north collabo with south east n south south vote obj in.the north collabo with south west to vote buhari in 2011 and 19.no zone can put anybdy in pawa alone

Every major contender for the Presidency will have areas of strengths and weaknesses.


What you just described may be an area of weakness for Osinbajo in 2023 but there are several other factors that are areas of his strengths.

gidgiddy:
What I see is that the North has no intention to concede power to the South. The Northern Elders Forum and the Arewa Consultative Forum have all said that Presidential rotation is not in the constitution and they do not recognize it. Power is very important to the North and they wont allow it to go down south for 8 years. Last time they did that with Obasanjo, they bitterly regretted it

In 2023, the Northerners will rally behind a fellow Northerner, no matter the party, and ensure he wins.

Osibanjo stands no chance as he will never be able to win votes outside his native SW
