I am surprised that people from a southern zone who know little or nothing about the Kano Emirate have suddenly become experts on Kano culture and traditional rulership.


Check this thread, you will hardly find Northerners commenting but many Southerners giving information about what transpired in the selection of the Emir to Kano.

Xisnin:
Stop lying to gain attention.
I have challenged all your fellow travelers to provide evidence that Ado Bayero is the "rightful" heir
but they became confused.

There is no rightful heir to the Kano emirate.
Though it is restricted to certain families, the rules are very lax.

It's only in poor third world countries that this kind of post will be seen.






Who is not under the grace of God?
Are you under the grace of the Devil?

rummmy:
dont fight a man under the grace of God or you will receive your own bad share..... Just advising you....

Awol1:
The question you should ask yourself is, why does it seem that all those who fought GEJ are biting dust one after another?

Are they just mere happenstances to you?

Grow up kid, nobody fought GEJ.




GEJ contested an election on the platform of PDP, supported by his party members but when APC members like Saraki, Amaechi, Tinubu or Oshiomole supported APC candidate in the same election, people like you will interpret it as betrayal or gang up against Jonathan.

MegaPlayBoy:

What of 50years?

Thanks for telling us the problems of the North.




















Can you now list the problems of your State and how you have been solving them.

Jayess:
Sorry o....

But everything is wrong in the North of Nigeria! I mean everything, from insurgency, to Gandollarism (corruption), poverty, illiteracy (I'm surprised the State assembly hold session in Hausa ), child marriage, Almajirism, blind loyalty due to low mental functionality and brainwashing....

I have already said sorry o....

Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan is a man and NOT a god. He is not infallible and definitely isn't above errors and mistakes. It's not a sin to be in opposition to his re-election as you are always propagating here.

Please stop attributing every negative event that happen to some people to their disagreement with the policies of Jonathan's administration or opposition to the re-election of the Ex-President.

greatdreamer:
I've no pity for Emir Sanusi, he was a part of those who used propaganda to bring APC to power now he has reap what he sown. That is his own divided of democracy. GEJ your God is powerful as those who ganged against you both home and abroad have been disgraced and silenced

APCNig:
He cannot join politics. He is banished and his rights are limited. He can ponly vote, he cannot be voted for.

Been dethroned doesn't abrogate his constitutional rights as a citizen of Nigeria.

mrvitalis:
Sanusi/Peter obi under PDP is a sure bet to win ...no matter who APC presents

This is a good combination of seasoned bankers-technocrats, but why not Peter Obi-Sanusi?

There are certain factors that mitigate against the economic development of Nigeria but these are actually more of failures of Leadership at ALL levels rather than deliberate conspiracy against a particular Geopolitical zone.

1) The Federal Military Government of the past years slower the progress of Nigeria down by getting involved in business enterprises and limiting the participations of Nigerians in such enterprises.

2) However, the FG can't dictate for market forces for long.


The FG can't improve the economy of a State for long.Only the market forces can do that.
For instance, for almost 30 years that the Federal Capital has been moved to Abuja, the city is still not a commercial city despite that ALL the Federal Ministries, Embassies, International Airport, Universities and the Head-quaters of many companies (including banks) are located in Abuja.


3) There were several attempts by the FG in the past to force maritime traffic to Onne, Calabar and Sapele ports but it backfired (similar to the attempts by the Federal Military Government (FMG) to fix prices of certain commodities)

In 1978, my father's container was forcely diverted from Apapa port to Sapele Port.

He went by road to Sapele, booked and slept in a Hotel there for days, cleared his goods and headed to Lagos to sell his goods at increased prices.

Cherez:
1. My guy Oyatz, Enugu airport was just touched by GEJ & PMB is on the verge of sth. Ethiopian airline flew to Enugu and Emirate was about to follow suit but the FG needs to setup some instruments and run some standardization before it can accept international flights.
Saudi Arabia is just one country; what about the hundreds of countries all over the world?
Depending on traffic, flight companies can direct their flights to Enugu and sure the SE has lots of travellers too especially to Asia (China)
Port-Harcourt was just rebuilt by the FG also. See these infrastructures are bad and only if the FG does right on them will international flights use them.

2. Now exactly same thing is happening with the seaports.
Bro, see Lagos would have been much better than what it is if the FG had moved some concessions to Onne porta and co. Today, the Yorubas who own Lagos I tell you are groaning cos of the population in the place which is making it hard to control in terms of neatness, crime, etc. I am one of the proponents that Lagos should be depopulated esp non-indigenes should move back to their states; those who have nothing doing there. Reason why I supported Fashola then.

3. The importance of the FCT in Lagos was in structures; all embassies, international organizations, companies, etc which prefers the capital especially for security and diplomatic reasons. And these and their employees all pay taxes to Lagos state
See, Ibadan is an example of my point. Ibadan didn't have the advantage like Lagos but grew out of pure independent hardwork. Kudos to Baba Awo.
You get?


Honestly, I hate to discuss this cos this shouldn't even be a topic if not for the situation we have found ourselves

engrsyer:
But it is true to what GEJ said. $20B is not like our #20Bn that would just leave CBN account and it won't affect the nation. Yet SLS claimed it got missing just tarnish the good image of GEJ. No wahala so let him also get his own pan of flesh and eat juicily.

You are wrong.

SLS never said $20 Billion disappeared from the vaulti of the CBN when he himself was the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

What he said was that about #20 Billion from the sales of crude oil were never paid (unaccounted for) into the Government coffers.

engrsyer:
Whatever you sow, so shall you reap. You think you can disgrace God's anointed(GEJ) and go freely? Is a lie

Stop bringing GEJ into every matter.

Ex-President Jonathan is a MAN and he is not beyond errors, mistakes and weaknesses. There is no sin in disagreeing with the policies of his administration.

By attributing every negative event that happened to certain people to their opposition to the re-election of GEJ or to criticism of his administration, you are turning him to a god that can't be wrong.

I so much love the Bini Monarchy and culture. They are one of the relics of past African civilizations.


Oba to'kpaye... iseeeee

id4sho:
Calm down, who gave the oba staff of office? Governor.
The oba has to adhere to the rules of local government and chieftaincy. if he errs , na the commissioner go tidy him matter . What happened to the Benin empire when the British struck. Go back to your history books, Ask Sultan Dasuki hw far. The Governor is nobody's mate. The President is the Lord, I repeat.
The monarchs are at the mercy of the executives.

Don't deceive yourself with DAT yeye slogan "long live the king" in Bini language

duro4chang:
You are not a good student of history. Go and learn what happened to oba Overami and come and tell us sorry.

Oba Nogbasa Ovenramen was sent on exile, no other person became Oba of Bini while he was alive. His Eldest son, Oba Eweka-II succeeded him in 1914.

we are on the same page. i was only reminding him of their comments.

Okay

Bro, the problem largely due to this forum, NAIRALAND!


The comments made by the members supposed to be vetted in some ways.

In Qoura for instance, you register with known identies.

The names ,qualifations, area of expertise and experience of the commentators are often added when they comment on any topic.

#The Buhari administration is hopelessly nepotic but the good news is that it has three years left.

We will all overcome it.
I

Cherez:
My question wasn't an absolute one but related to the guy I quoted who says the SE contributes nothing.
So, I asked him, if the SE contributes nothing, what do other regions contribute to get all those stuffs?

The SE also contribute in agriculture Viz; yam, rice, livestock, etc too.

They also said the SE deserves what it gets cos it took up arms against the state. I agree but then why spend millions and even rehabilitate people whom have no reason taking up arms when a huge chunk of NE took up arms against the state too?
Oyatz my guy, I'm one of those Igbos who have accepted our fate in Nigeria; even though being oppressed, I'll never go violent or hate on anyone but remain diligent knowing that GOD got HIS people.

But, I'd like to ask you in all sincerity considering events from the current loans so far in the past 7yrs or so don't you think that an agitation from these people is rightful?
This is why most Igbos keep quiet when NK talks even though most don't support him but the hostility of Nigeria itself supports his attacks.

Personally, I have given up on Nigeria a long time ago but I'll never hate on anyone cos of anything for I'm sure the Igbos will survive this and this has actually made them better at somethings.

DMerciful:
The only thing preventing these places from seceding is the lack of seccession clause. Quebec especially wants to secede.
I just told you California wants to when you ignorantly mentioned California and now you started interpreting what they meant by their own seccession as trying to assert independence.
Joker!

In the US Constitution, there is a secession clause but the State that wants to secceed MUST seek the approval of the two third of all the States in the United States of America.

Some of your points are very misleading.
You
1) Are there International Airports in other parts of Nigeria?

And= Yes.

For instance, the Mallam Aminu International Airport,Kano is the busiest airport on the Nigeria to Saudi Arabia route.
There are International Airports in Port-Harcourt,Enugu and Calabar.

2) Can the FG compel Airlines and Air passengers to land in any Airport?

Ans= No

3) The old Federal Capital and Lagos State
are NOT exactly the same thing just as Enugu, the capital of the Old Eastern Region is not exactly the same thing as Enugu State.

The old Federal Capital was limited to Lagos Island, Apapa, Eti-Osa, Lagos Mailand and parts of Surulere LGAs.
Anywhere after the railway crossing at Yaba was never part of the old Federal Capital.

Ikorodu, Ikeja, Epe and Badagary Divisions of the State were never parts of the old Federal Capital but were parts of the old Western Region and many parts of these places were rural areas as at 1991 when the Federal Capital was moved to Abuja.

Cherez:
Lowest revenue for the FG, very correct. Let's analyse.
Currently, Ogun state generates heavily only cos of proximity to Lagos.
Now Lagos generates revenue cos of the concentration of FG's facilities there in the instance of airports, seaports, movement of the capital from Calabar to Lagos.
Now, imagine seaports are built in all viable seafront across Nigeria but no you hear of dry ports elsewhere.
(Before you claim I'm jealous of Lagos, Bros Lagos is trying and I want my state to emulate it in certain areas and may GOD BLESS Lagos state and the Yoruba nation who owns it) but the truth is that Lagos was made this rich by FG's nepotism.
Imagine that MM1 is about the only viable & most preferred airport in Nigeria cos of FG's acts.
So, no matter where you're from the South you must board a flight from Lagos, arrive and lodge in a hotel, book taxi, and even a foreign person will most likely spend time there(revenue in tax).
There are other seaports but govt will prefer that Apapa & Tincan is flooded making citizens pay demurrage on goods.
Does it make sense to you?
Same thing applies to Abuja.
The FG strategically drives revenue generation too.
Imagine the current loan request and there's no single project for the SE & tomorrow you'll rush to ask what?
Infrastructure drives development and industrialisation.

The topic is what has NIGIERIA done for the igbos?

bigpicture001:
Ur no.1 is baseless...the people found routes to market the traded with..govt is not involved....if for example govt created good railway system on the route already discovered by the traders,then you will say govt. Did something.

2. By virtue of being on a land nd all ur money exchanged for 20pounce, u turn next to agro...thats ur decision not the govt. DT u bought it from the north I'd exchanged for ur hard earned money....govt didnt intervene by subsidizing it cuz ur from war torn region or provide u cheaper means if t- fare...meaning,they did nothing

3. U HV not com to the east,hence u write as dou there are roads,rail,hospitals or housing.....

The ppl built half their inner town roads, the govt roads(F.G) are mostly dilapidated...but one can't deny the fact,it has once been done by d FG....but infrastructure in d southeast is the least in the federation

4. Did I hear u hv a say,wen everyone treats u like second class citizen..

Only major ethnic group not to lead the nation, FG keep mum,when Igbo's businesses are attacked all over the country.especially Lagos. Kemi adeosun was heard in a leaked tape degrading an entire already marginalized ethnic group, nd FG did nothing...which say do they HV when recently leaked project plans for next 30 years were released nd no south east zone....

Ur 5 nd 6 are baselesd, cuz the firms are not of FG nd no special intervention to Mk the Igbo's get jobs specially was made. The job relationship was mutual.....

So think well nd answer again. The OP meant what specifically has the FG done for them...

Like building almajiri skls specifically for the northern youths nd no where else, creating a 13% derivation fund for Niger delta nd no where else...

Nd delebrate infrastructure upliftment of the south west

Every Region contribute to the economy of Nigeria. I am ashamed to see supposedly educated Nigerians that don't understand this fact.

1) If all other regions stop working and Nigeria rely only on the sale of crude oil, will the money be enough for the country to import;

All meat we need?
All Leathers we need?
All the yams (including Pando yams) we need?
All the vegetable oil, palm oil, animal feeds?

All the maize?

In fact ,the money won't be enough to import food and clothes for the country



2) For instance, in the S/West ,the production of Agricultural produce, poultry products, Fishes Timber and wood products , livestocks etc meet certain needs of Nigerians. If these aren't produced, then Nigerians will be forced to take her hard earned money to go and buy these products in the international market at exhorbitant prices.


3) If the Northerners don't produce beans, onions, beef, leather, milk, rice etc, we will have to be importing all these at exhorbitant International prices.

The currency of Nigeria would have become worse than that of Zimbabwe.

Cherez:
So what has other parts done to deserve all they are getting?
There was a war in Nigeria which was obviously from a good reason (progrom) and no rehabilitation after, now the NE brought BH on themselves and since 2011 there has been rehabilitation programs running into billions of dollars yearly.
Now to what the Igbos have done; the major revenue source for Nigeria is oil and Abia and Imo state contribute to this.
Aside the SS, can you explain what other regions contribute to Nigeria?

Stop posting your propaganda as the Gospel truths on this Forum.


75% of the oil in Nigeria are NOT on any land let alone Igboland.

Most of the crued oil Nigeria has are actually offshore (Sometimes upto over 70 nautical miles away from the shores, deep into the Ocean).

Are you saying the Atlantic ocean is part of Igboland?

ChimaAdeoye:
Igbos fought for Nigeria's independence and won it
Igbos ceded power for a northern Prime Minister to keep the young nation united
Igbos developed Nigeria's educational curriculum as well as human capital development
Igbos helped Nigeria create a huge entrepreneurial base that is still cornerstone of the economy
Igboland is base to 75% of the country's main resource - OIL



.... I can give you more examples to your moronic question abokii!
In the end, Nigeria will collapse under the weight of its own injustice and unnecessary war against the Igbos.

Every politician and almost every citizen already know where you will direct your vote- To the PDP, which you have been doing since 1999.

This is not news and had nothing to do with the APC not giving you any ticket.

You can't get presidential ticket of a major party by blackmailing the party.

unbitchable:
Let me remind you. "if APC will not zone her Presidential candidate to the southeast, we will support a northern candidate in PDP. Let the north continue to rule us". Why are you so unstable and untruthful to yourselves?

The funny thing is that when other Geo-Political zones play their own ethnic cards,these wailers will scream blue murder!


Playing the ehnic card will only give the majority ethnic groups -the Hausa-Fulani and the Yorubas the upper hand, a very dangerous trend that always make it difficult to get good leaders.

Adeinfo:
You ended up showing how daft you are by not being able to reason with a plea of fact. Continue wallowing in the ethnic card.

mrvitalis:
In the private sector ...tell me how many bank owners are from north ?

Is banking the only sector of the economy? What's the contribution of Banking to Nigeria's GDP?


There are millions of Northerners rearing cattle, planting tomatoes, beans, rice, onions, cotton etc
There are many Northerners involved in Petroleum transportation.

There are many Northerners that have invested their energy, time and money in the scrap metal business (a multi billion Naira industry).

There are many Northerners involved in the production of sugar and leather in this country.

There are many Northerners in the entertainment industry (Kannywood) and the print media (Daily Trust, Gaskiya, New Nigerian, Premium Times)

Nigerian economy is like the Human body with different parts which though are different in sizes and functions but are nevertheless very important.

There are Northerners in the Foreign exchange markets (Burau de change).
There are Northerners in the downstream sector of the petroleum industry (MRS, A.A Rano) and construction companies.

Every tribe in Nigieria contrary to what tribalists assume , contribute to different aspects of the Nigerian economy.

What arrant non-sense.


There is no qoatal system or federal character system in the following sectors of the economy;

1) Beef production


2) Print Media- The Punch, The Guardians, The Nation, TELL, The News, ThisDay

3) Electronic media- TVC, AIT, CHANNELS, GALAXY etc

4) Banking-Firstbank, Union Bank, GTB

5) Food & Beverages- Coca-Cola, Dangote Sugars, Cadbury, Leventis

6) Timber & wood industries

7) Aviation- Arik, Aero contractors etc

Poultry business

9) Fisheries and aquaculture.

10) Building & Construction- Dangote Cement, West African Larfange, BUA etc


Nigerians from diverse ethnic groups are doing well in these sectors.

Look for areas to carve a niche for yourself and stop giving silly excuses that Federal Character or Qotal system is the reason you can't excel.

XANDERBOY85:
To be honest, if merit is enthroned over and above quota-system, affirmative action and federal character, it would be mostly Igbo and Yoruba that would lead.....this can be seen in the present day national achievement metrics!

But this would mean the Hausa-Fulani would be relegated to the back-burner, and this is why hell will first freeze over before merit trumps other primordial considerations!

mrvitalis:
Its a fact u want to deny

There's no fact in your earlier post and there is nothing to deny.

By the way, who is in charge of using the merits and the non-merits?

There are Nigerians from every tribe that are intelligent, hard working and excel in their various fields.

In the private sector where Government is not charge, Nigerians from different tribes excel in different fields based on merits from Aviation to Zoology.

Why can't you be man enough and marry two (or even three) brides at the same time?

stupidity:
I'm in tears as I'm writing this. Have you all seen a grown man cry before? That's my case right now.


Yesterday I came back from work very angry. Then rain fell in the evening. This rain washed away all my pains

As the cold was becoming unbearable all of a sudden, I had to call one of my family friend to come keep me company. You know that kind cold that only hot brexx can keep you warm. Even if the brexx is not hot, let it be warm, just suck it and get warm from the inside.

This girl said she's with her friend and can't leave her friend all alone. I told her there's an extra room for her friend.

So they came. After all the merry and talks the girl friend said she can't sleep alone that she'd join us. At first I thought she was an agent of satan that doesn't want to leave her friends sight so I cannot "you know" her friend. But this girl came in and before I could even get them something to change on, this girl don off pant lie down for bed.


In summary last night was a success as there's no time to give full details


But the problem now is I'm so getting used to playing with two girls now. More like'

"one girl nor Dey reach me again"


I have upgraded to threesom and it's the best a man could ever ask for "bedwise"


How do I relate this to my fiancé? I want her to know I'm willing to pay additional bride price fee to include her girlfriends as part of the bride price package. Na for her to Dey arrange clean clean fine girls come house for the party as nairaland auto correct would call it.

Ma go wash cloth first.

Okonjo-Iweala was the Minister of Finance between 2003-2006 and between 2011-2015.

Iyiataata92:
when you have a fertile land and refuse to farm on it, don't get mad when others start farming on it.
Ngozi Iweala is better than anything we have now as finance minister but partisan politics won't let her get a chance

Congratulations to Okonjo-Iweala.




However this kind of post is very unnecessary.

mrvitalis:
Nigeria know for we to move forward merit must be the bases of selection ...the problem is if u use merit igbos would come on top and dominate like the 50s and 60s

So instead of igbos to dominate let's keep moving in circle ...n never allow them leave cos if they leave in 10 years they can develop weapon to strike any part of Nigeria at will

Kid, i don't have your time today.

I was wondering how you will read and pass.

Arsenella007:
You only quoted a wiki page of military trainings Buhari attended.. where is his Waec certificate Oga? You are worst that the so called illiterate supporters of Kanu, I guess Senator Abaribe is one also. Keep wallowing in your hatred..

What are you saying?


A Colonel without a university degree in the Army has greater education, expertise in management and exposure than a fresh graduate just graduating with B.A in English Literature or B Sc in Animal Husbandry.


10 years of active military service is not less than four years of studying in the University.
