It must be an acute angle.

stanisbaratheon:

The Security agents need to start paying attention to Nairaland with it's very dangerously negative posts.

johnmartus:
Yes you are right the man will finally tell Nigerians how Buhari is el Sudan.

This people have no respect for elderly man. You see what he called a whole president on his posts.

He is going to jail other people like him can learn from him. Even when his father was arrested he exposed where the stupid man live.

God bless police for this move nairaland should be their major target. If you don't like Buhari criticize his government but not his personal lifestyle.

This violation of the rights of civilians by the military men is common in developing countries.
It a reflection of our backwardness.











It has nothing to do with Ojukwu and whatever he saw in 1967.

SLAP44:
You just noticed it now?

Ojukwu has been saying the same thing since 1966!

Why all these unnecessary victim mentality?



Everything is not about you.

SLAP44:
For those who applauded them when it happened in Umuahia, Aba and Onitsha,

Oya, start clapping for our gallant men

What goes around

Mr Shape,i have a question for you sir.




Can we do it this way?

1) Calculate the area of the biggest semi circle.

2) Calculate the areas of each small semi-circles.

3) Add the areas of the four semi circles.

4) Subtract the summation from the
area of the biggestt semi-circle

Mrshape:
Take necessary precaution, stay safe and relax your mind with this shape

You made an assumption about the diameter of the shaded circle that's almost correct but not exact.

stanisbaratheon:
Diameter AB= 56cm
Radius of AB=56/2=28cm
Diameter of AE=EF=FG=GB=56/4=14cm
Radius of AE=EF=FG=GB=14/2=7cm

Diameter of shaded portion=28-7=21cm

Area of shaded portion=(πD^2)/4=(π×21^2)/4

Area=(3.14159×21^2)/4=1385.44/4 =346.36sq.cm

I have never seen her before.

Ask medical students if they haven't been sewing facemasks for themselves for long.

BeautifulMind2:
Bitter people, show me the face masks being produce in your state or region at this critical time the world is facing convid 19?

I have noticed it on several occasions that some Nigerian ladies somehow feel shy to speak their native languages in public.

Adaogwashi1:
I was really disappointed at Mrs ijeoma but thank God for the other man that spoke in Igbo





I still remain Ada ogwashi

But she is still hot and can out compete many 25 year old undergraduates.

Hadizometer:
She's too old for all these na..

There is nothing special about face mask (I sewn two last week for my personal use).



Innoson or anybody doesn't need permission of the Federal Government to manufacture ventilator or any medical device.

BeautifulMind2:
Aba made, nothing impossible for Igbos just give them necessary support, Innoson has promised to manufacture ventilators if government give them go ahead order.

Lalasticlala

You are gradually going insane if you don't know.



Leave politics for politicians and stop your silly ethnic profiling before it snuff out sanity from your brain.

Herdsmen:
THAT IGBO BOY..
Not Obsession but the fact, that your people can’t stay a minute without mentioning igbos, opening threads on igbos,using any and every opportunity to stroke the Igbo nation..

Me go the expose una .. well.. and steadily.
I know una in and out .. eat una ewedu ati Amala..understand una language .. una ways .. even been to places in your land that most of you online have never dream of ..

Una no Dey like take .. even 10% of what una dey give..
That’s the problem.. and una no Dey if questioned “ why una dey do like that” una call am diplomacy.. further translate to “ Sophistication”

If you want dig my first post .. bounty gat no time.
Truth said.. that’s all.

Not an open secret.. is what 90 million Nigerians already kno

Let me tell you one thing sir.

2023 is not very far and candidate that is likely to win by them must have started serious work by now.

Most Igbo politicians aren't in the front race for the tickets of both APC and PDP. So from the look of things, it is very unlikely for an Igbo to be the flag bearer of both parties.



Ordinarily, the PDP which has enjoyed undiluted support and loyalty of the Igbo people for over 20 years supposed to be sympathetic to Igbo presidency but the party is conspicuously silet about it. Rather it is becoming clearer everyday that the party has reserved it's presidential ticket for 2023 Atiku Abubakar.


Even if all Igbos are agitating for Biafra, it won't stop the 2023 election.


In summary,

By 2023:

1) An Igbo candidate may not become the President
2) Biafria will not be created.









The Igbos can't blame other Nigerians for it (most especially if they still give PDP/Atiku overwhelming support in 2023 and they lose).

Mmuoojukwu:
You talk of blackmail when you haven't cheeked your dictionary for the meaning of blackmail. Which tribe in Nigeria doesn't blackmail? The events before buhari's election, were they blackmail? You cannot underrate the power of people. If Igbo can't let go of Biafra after 50 years what makes you think they won't get what they want. I think it's this pride that may end this forced marriage soon. You deceived someone the first time, he let you go and the second, he let you go as well. Why are you so sure he will let you go the third time? Things are changing my dear and people have become more complex by the day. The renewed Biafran spirit which Nigeria wants to see will not stop until it achieves its aim because the last has proved Nigeria is a scam. Nothing is impossible, it's a matter of time. Kanu is already doing underground work alone begging Igbos to support him and Nigeria should not push Igbos to change course and follow him. The story will change. Think it about it. Think about it my dear.

This is a very bad statement if you know the implications.



The Igbos are a significant portion of Nigerians.

We can't build an egalitarian nation if a significant portion of the citizens can't hold the highest position in the land.

Akponmfet:
Correction, Igbos can never be president of Nigeria no matter what they do.

Every Nation grapple with some developmental problems and it's responsibility of the Leadership of the Nations to identify ways to solve these problems.



Nigeria is not well developed because we haven't solved most of our problems and this is largely because we don't put forward our best eleven (the best brains in the land) in leadership positions.


The more we open up our selection process for leadership positions, the more we are likely to get quality leadership. We must gradually do away with certain factors (such as religion, tribes, caste etc) that restrict who can aspire to leadership positions.



Any Nigerian citizen that's qualified should run for the highest position. With time, tribe and religions will no longer be determining factors.

In this way, even a Nigerian from a very small tribe (like the Bachama, the Angas, the Afizeres, the Ngzim, the Karekares etc) can aspire for the top most position.

UdechiHD:
At least this post is more explanatory and informed. I applaud you for this.
And I as a person have always maintained that Ndigbo good or bad must battle hard for the Presidential ticket of either the PDP or APC.

I will never be at ease with a Peter Obi stooping low for the VP to Atiku. He should aim for the Presidency. Same goes with Umahi who I feel is a Presidential material for the PDP.
The likes of Rochas Okorocha, Ogbonnaya Onu, Rotimi Amaechi etc should vie for the APC Presidential ticket.
Rochas from the look of things will contest the APC ticket because he has always had that boldness for a long time now. Ndigbo must give it their all and who knows what may happen at the end.

You were giving insinuations about what was never in my post.

I never accused Igbos or any tribe of anything (it's baseless to do so).


In Nigieria, the political dispensations usually tilted towards TWO MAJOR political parties, eventhough several smaller parties exist.

To win the presidential election, you need to clinch the presidential tickets of any of these two MAJOR political parties (not just running in the Primaries).

However,long term presidential aspirants sometimes gathered enough momentum, experience, publicity and public sympathy to finally win the presidential election, even in well established Democracies.

So many myths have been created about presidential elections in Nigieria and they looked apprently credible because Nigeria haven't practiced Democracy for long.


#Correction: for the benefits of younger generation;

The AD didn't merger with ANPP to form the APP, rather what happened was;

1999: AD and APP went into the election as an alliance in which Olu Falae of the AD was adopted as the presidential candidate of the APP with Umoru Shinkafi of the APP as his running mate.

2002: The newly formed UNPP led by the late Augustus Aikhomu merged with APP under the chairmanship of Alh Ali to form ANPP.

2006: Most AD resigned en mass from the party to form ACD=> AC=> ACN.

2010: The Buhari organization broke away from the ANPP to form CPC.

2013: ACN+ ANPP+ CPC+ faction of APGA led by Okorocha= APC.

UdechiHD:
Imagine your false analysis. Some of you don’t know anything about Ndigbo except those fed you by your propaganda Lagos-Ibadan media. You sit in your bedrooms and analyze issues that are beyond your understanding. How do you mean the Igbos haven’t contested under the major political parties?

Sometimes I get angry with a lot of Yoruba’s and how you downplay or belittle the political efforts of the Igbos. This was how you guys kept deceiving the indomie generations that Ndigbo have never supported the Yoruba political ambitions, until facts were brought forth.

1. You said this trash countless times until the voting results of the 1993 elections was posted on nairaland which busted your falsehood. Abiola winning Anambra and getting over 40% votes in all eastern states despite having an Igbo as running mate for the NRC.

2. You lied again that Ndigbo never stood with you Yoruba’s during the June 12 struggle. Still yet, we saw the row call of the founders of NADECO with a large host of Igbo activists. We saw an Nwankwo as the Vice Chairman of NADECO, we saw a large number of known Igbo elder statesmen who stood their feet. We also saw the likes of Agbakoba, Ubani, Chris Anyanwu etc in Abacha’s dungeon. Lastly, we saw the likes of Ekwueme with his leadership of the G-30 which fought the junta till democracy was gifted in 1999. But because of the exploits of the youthful Daniel Kanu who wasn’t different from the Yoruba leaders who sold out to Abacha, the Igbo nation was ridiculed by you miserable loud mouths.

3. Before you come out spreading your falsehood about Ndigbo not producing candidates for the major parties, here are a list of Igbos who bid for the Presidential positions.

1979 - 1983
NPP: Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe
The NPP won three states in Nigeria, Plateau, Imo, Anambra. The breakaway GNPP faction led by Waziri Ibrahim won Borno state.
NPN: Alex Ekwueme was running mate to Shehu Shagari.

1992-1993 Presidential Election
SDP: Arthur Nzeribe was disqualified
NRC: Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu was disqualified and a host of other notable Igbo sons by Babangida appointed NEC screening committee. This was why no notable Igbo contested for Presidency.
Rather Sylvester Ugoh became running mate to NRC Bashir Tofa.

1999 Presidential Elections
PDP: Alex Ekwueme lost Primary to Obasanjo
APP: Ogbannaya Onu dropped ambition for Olu Falae and his party the ANPP merged with AD to form the APP for the Presidential election.

2003 Presidential Election
APGA: Ikemba Ojukwu. Came third with 1 million votes after Buhari who came second.
ANPP: Chuba Okadigbo contested as running mate with Muhammadu Buhari.

2007 Presidential Election
ADP: Pat Utomi
PDP: Rochas Okorocha came 2nd in the primary that produced Umaru Musa Yar’adua. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala came a distant third.
ANPP: Edwin-Ume Ezeoke was running mate to Muhammadu Buhari.

2011
PDP: This was the first time no Igbo contested. The GEJ candidacy was supported.

2015
UPP: Chekwas Okolie
AP: Rochas Okorocha

2019
YPP: Kingsley Moghalu whose party won the Anambra South senatorial seat.
PDP: Peter Obi was running mate to Atiku Abubakar
APC: Rochas Okorocha stepped down for Buhari.
APGA: Jerry Chukwueke was running mate to John Gbor

From what I have observed about you;

You dissipate so much energy about your real and imaginary enemies, the Yorubas instead of thinking about your strategies in achieving your goals.




The truth is that no Igbo presidential candidate has ever contested the election on the platform of any major political party, so how can you win when you don't contest?


Contest for the tickets of both APC and PDP in 2023 with all seriousness. Even if you don't win in 2023 you will make an impressive showing which can be your position of strength in the following election.

Don't approach political issues from the mindsets of traders that only invest in areas with immediate return on investment.


Even in the US, many presidents only win after years of being in the race e.g Jimmy Cater, Ronald Reagan, Nixon etc.

It may interest you to know that Donald Trump joined the presidential race as far back as 1998.

In Nigieria, Atiku first contested for the presidential ticket in 1993, then 2007, 2011, 2015,2019 and still warming up against 2023.

The late Dr Olusola Saraki ran against Shagari for the NPN ticket in 1979, then for SDP ticket in 1992 and APP ticket in 1999.

The Late MKO Abiola was warming up to contest the presidential Primaries of the NPN in 1983 even against the incumbent President Sheu Shagari before he resigned from the party in protest against level playing field.

LabDNA:
They delude themselves that they are more fortunate than we are.

When you see two yorubas discussing 'alaroye' politics, it's like comedy. You'll hear them beating their cabin biscuit chests and deluding themselves that since the 'Ibo and north hate themselves' the East will prefer and vote a yoruba in 2023, so that they can keep exchanging baton between the hausa and yoruba presidency to the detriment of Omo Ibo'.

I simply laugh and waka pass. E go shock them.

You don't still understand the analogy.

Buhari had impressive resume (anti-corruption, Spartan-like discipline and Military experience) which he sold to his employer (the voters).

However, it's a different ball game entirely to decide whether impressive resume of a job seeker is equal to his capability.

For instance, we can not say for sure if a prospective employee with M.Sc in Analytical Chemistry from ABU, UNN or LAUTECH about to be employed by the Ministry of Environment can generate cooking gas from Sewage waste of Gwarinpa Estate.

Turantula:
Like Buhari's impressive resume
Fact is, North and West vote only along tribal sentiment

Your first paragraph is most laughable and emanated from a deep seated entitlement mentality.

1) Mention the presidential election that an Igbo candidate contested and did everything needed to win?

2) Winning the presidential election is just like seeking for employment.

You need to have impressive resume, look for employment adverts, attend interviews and convince the interviewers on why they should hire you.

3) You can't sit down in your Papa's sitting room and be expecting Microsoft, Shell, Chevron or MTN to bring your employment letter to you.

It is the same for running and winning a presidential election.

Buhari consistently ran for the presidency for 12 years and only won at the fourth attempt.

mrvitalis:
The simple truth is igbos have done everything needed to win the presidency but the truth is no matter what igbos do

The north still want to retain power at all cost
South west never want to imagine Igbo presidency ....that's the truth ....it's not igbo fault at all

No matter what the igbos do excuse would
come

APC in 2015 ; of only igbos have one senator we would have given them Senate president
2019 igbos give APC 3 senators
APC in 2019 ; igbos only gave us 3 senators we can't give them Senate president over a zone that produce more senators

Bros the truth there was never a plan for the igbo man ...what did APC give ignos deputy chief whip lol.....


Enough of igbos do this or do that ...you hate igbos and have no plans to support their ambition ...be a man and state your mind ....

1) Your assumption is wrong and it akin to a candidate who never bother to write JAMB exams but keep saying the universities will never consider him for admission



2) Yorubas and Hausas are not the only voters in Nigeria. You need to campaign and make them see reasons to vote for you.


There are millions of Nupe, Igala, Ijaw, Ebira, Efik, Kanuri, Tiv, Idoma and Ibibio voters.

3) It's pure blackmail to say that Nigeria will not develop until an Igboman becomes a President.

goodnessme1:
Yorubas and Hausafulanis will rather vote for shekua of boko haram than voting for a competent Igbo man.
That is why i pity some Igbos fooling themselves in the name of Igbo presidency.

Where is ojir uzor Kalu that was insulting Igbos because he want yorubas and Hausafulanis to love him,and maybe give him president.


Igbos will never rule nigeria.

And nigeria will never move forward.

Nigerian establishment doesn't hate Igbos.

The reality is that no Igbo presidential candidate has ever contested the presidential election on the platform of a major political party.

Without clinching the presidential ticket of a major political party, it's very difficult to win the presidential election.

Had it been that the second republic wasn't truncated and let say the late Dr Alex Ekwueme won the presidential ticket of the defunct NPN in the 1987 presidential election, he could have won.

In the present dispensation, only the PDP or APC presidential ticket can take you to Aso-Rock. The Igbos need to get the ticket of any or both of these two political parties to win.

Amumaigwe:
The Nigeria establishment hates the Igbo man's guts simple and short. Biafra started becoming topical from 2010. If Biafra is the reason why igbos are strangulated politically by North and SW conspiracy, why weren't they considered for the top job since 1999 when there was no agitation for Biafra, even when they made attempts to clinch it?

I agree with you that the only hope for the Igbo man is to collectively uphold and demand Biafra. That appears to be the only option left for them to chart their destiny by themselves since most Nigeria so called elites will choose rather for Nigeria to burn to ashes than any igbo man leading this country, even though he is capable of restoring her glory.

An Igbo, Edo, Igala or Nupe and indeed ANY Nigerian citizen can be President of Nigeria, may be not in 2023 but thereafter.


There is absolutely nothing magical about 2023.

What we need now is to

1) deepen our democracy by ensuring that votes count.

2) Work toward a decentralized Nigeria so that a region doesn't necessarily need the presidency to attain her full potentials.


3) Minimize the roles of tribes/religion in politics while emphasizing MERITS.

I don't support incestuous relationship in any form.

I only gave other instances to show that the practice is not limited to the Islamic world.

AreaFada2:
I hope you also know what Queen Victoria's curse called Haemophilia did to several European dynasties. Like the Russian Imperial family for example.

Nature prefers a wider gene pool by far.

As for the knackaton cousins, they won't stop any time soon. The guy probably went to rent a house quickly to have freedom to be knacking the girl.
OP, get a clear evidence before you confront your brother.

If you keep quiet, it may soon result in abortion. Or should family find out by other means, you will be an accomplice.
Good luck.

We all desire some level of privacy and the right to have 'little secrets' .

Sex and sexual matters are one of the secrets of women which they only share with few (or even one) persons close to them.

Many girls (, including good and religious girls) when left alone also want to experiment with sex or certain sexual feelings (like watching porn or masturbation).

Offsprings from incest marriages are prone to genetic diseases but not necessarily low intelligence if the parents are intelligent.


The main drawbacks of incest is that the offsprings have limited pools of genes to chose from, unlike offsprings of couples that aren't related, as a result of this factors, health risks/weakness present in both parents become magnified in the children.

excanny:
Not just among fulanis, Its allowed in the Quran or somewhere in the islamic texts.(Ofcos all religious writings were written by ignorant cavemen).

But scientifically, its a disadvantage. Produces people who are not smart in the long run.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's case is not lies but delusions. It is one of the many signs of mental illness.

LabDNA:
I believe MNK, Buhari and liar mohammed have finished us with lies.

Before 19th century revolutions that swept through Europe and brought ends to many dynasties, many European Royal Families married their cousins in order to purify the royal (blue) blood and prevent it from being contaminated by marrying commoners.

After centuries of this incest marriages, all the European Royal Families became one big extended family and by the late 1890s, Queen Victoria had become either the grand mother or great grand mother of almost all European Kings.

Incest of this variety is allowed among some fulani clans (e.g Sanusi Lamido Sanusi's first wife is his cousin and a daughter to the late Emir Ado Bayero, who was Sanusi's grand uncle and fostered father).

excanny:
A lot of people don't sleep with their cousins, only insane people do.

Don't make incest look Ok.


Inbreeding results to low quality offsprings, in the Muslim world where this is practiced, they have the lowest IQ and close to stupid reasoning individuals. Read ur Biology textbook, Genetics.

You better take appropriate precautions, so many Nigerians (far greater in numbers than the 131 stated by the Government) already have the virus without notifying the Government.




























Soany will also die of the disease in April.

Some in Hospitals with Government records while many will just die at Shrines operated by Babalawo/Dibia/Boka, Prayer Montains or in their homes with no records by the Government.

BUHARIGOQUENCH:
Hmmm.....thought about this too...The numbers should be in thousands and not hundreds like they are claiming...Nigeria is too porous compared to other nations so it baffles me...anyways letbus still protect ourselves

One of my course mates in the University called Shola used to be a member of our church when I was attending RCCG in 100L.

Some years later, I saw him with some Muslim guys coming from a Mosque and I was surprised because I used to see him in church, so I asked him what happened.

He said his dad is a Muslim but the Mum a Christian and their parents gave them freedom to practice both religions and chose the one they like when they become 18 years. It sounded strange to me.

Much later around 2012, two younger siblings (Idowu &, Alaba) of my very close friend wanted to get married.

Alaba got married in the Church of his in-laws. Then, I asked my friend which church will his younger sister get married (expected to be their father's church) and he said 'no church' ,then he said something that really surprised me 'Dad is not a Christian nau. He was born a Muslim but doesn't go to mosques or attend any Muslim programmes.He is neither a Christian also. He is on his own!'

And I have seen their dad, slaughtering a big goat for Christmas before.

Bestinstinct:
I totally agree with you. Let me buttress your points with my family setting. My Paternal grand dad is christian while my grand mom is a muslim (both are very serious with religion). My dad is indifferent while my mom is a very serious christian. Religion/ethnicity is never an issue in my family and cannot be forced on anyone. My dad is a Yoruba while my Mom is from South South. I stopped going to church at age 13 and became a full blooded atheist at 30. I prefer dating outside Yoruba and it doesn't affect my relationship with any of my siblings nor my parents. Our belief and who we decide to dwell with just doesn't matter. When it comes to politics, we are equally free to choose but I don't see myself supporting another political party when my younger bro is having something strong going on for him with another party. Doing otherwise can be considered as betrayal. I believe that sums up your point on Yoruba In conclusion, I believe each zone should be given equal chances to pursue their dreams.
