I said this for long time. The ignorant of a governor is still insulting pdp instead of him to be looking inward where is problem lies.

The PDP took him to court to challenge the legality of taking PDP's mandate in Ebonyi to APC.

The Governor can win the hearts of all Nigerians by resigning from office, drop PDP mandate and freely join the APC.

The late Governor of Kano, Abubakar Rimi was elected on the platform of the PRP in 1979 but he resigned from the party and resigned as Governor before decamping to another party in 1983.

Presidential ambition don turn Presidential commotion...

Governorship and Presidential elections are different matters.

Igbos are just something else. Doesn't it bother them that just about everyone else complains about their attitude?

For over a week, Rant Headquarters have been approving posts about what people think about people from different ethnic groups. People don catch cruise ontop Yorubas, Hausas, Fulanis, Igalas, Tivs, etc. Them yab them tire. Not left out of the yabbing spree and fun were Igbo members of the group.

But as soon as e reach Igbos time, it became a huge war!! They couldn't take even the littlest of innocuous jabs (which was what others endured, and which even they themselves gave others). It was all fun and games with other tribes, but when it got to their own turn, they started attacking anyone with a snide comment about Igbo men or women.

Of course most commentators found this attitude very irritating, and made it known to them. Interestingly, some Igbo members admitted they were ashamed of the attitude of their brothers who took things too personally whereas people were just having fun at their expense, just like they did every other tribe.

Igbos, you guys need to check yourselves. E no make sense anymore.

The unwritten negative effects of the civil war and the emergence of IPOB impacted on the psyche of many Igbo youths online to exhibit victimhood at any given time.

Galloman:
Congratulations to South west.
The coast is now clear. The presidency is between BAT and Osibanjo.
Politics is all about personal interest and compensation of sacrifices.
You can not eat where u don't work. Those constituting nuisance on nairaland should go and hide themselves in shame. Your region has invested heavily in a party that never deam it fit to clinch their presidential ticket.

Which congratulations.


Buhari is right.


You can't disenfranchise the political appointees. They have every right like other people to participate in the political processes.

vicdom:
Lol...... See this cunning creature. You want an APC governor from the east so that he can influence some votes for APC during the presidential election when you have clearly adopted the Yorubas, especially Tinubu to take over from Buhari. As a matter of fact, your slogan and campaign in most threads is to scheme out Igbos from APC presidential ticket, and you are here now convulsing with so much bitterness because your evil plans might not be working out again. Your hypocrisy stinks to the highest level. Spits#

The Igbos has always and will still vote for the PDP, irrespective of what the APC do or don't do.

Coolsperm:
Honestly Tinubu is insulting us by wishing to be a president, for God sake Tinubu is a well known criminal

What is the way forward sir?

Whiteangel1234:
The wicked soul here are those who cannot rally behind an Igbo man in the last 50 years if for nothing for the sake of National Unity of this country Nigeria .


I'm a New Generation of Igbo youths who where not born during the Biafra war of 1967 - 1970

Nigeria have a choice to make the right choice is to give South East the Presidency , it's not much but it will reshape the mind set of majority of our people that Nigeria belong to all of us .

Nobody is giving anybody any ticket.

Atiku, Saraki Tambuwal etc have been spending time, money and energy on getting PDP presidential ticket , do you think they will just quit the race for Peter Obi who didn't much for the party but sat down in his house demanding to be given the party's ticket just like that?

Whiteangel1234:
No we cannot win the presidency without corporation from all zones in Nigeria . PDP will lose big time if she field an Igbo man and APC field Yoruba Moslem it's like handing APC easy victory

The Igbo candidate that will win the presidential election must first win the primaries of his party.

Let Peter Obi or Anyim Pius Anyim win PDP ticket first.

Whiteangel1234:
It's use and dump bro

He is not the first Governor that have decamp we are not kids biko

Why Umahi?
From Orji Uzo Kalu to Umahi all Igbos potential presidential hopeful in APC all have issues


At this point we the Igbos have nothing to loose it's not like we have tasted presidency The north can have it

The PDP in Ebonyi State took him to court for daring to cross to the hated APC.

In any case, it's a gubernatorial matter and has nothing to do with presidential election.

Ugonna62:
Why then do you praise tinubu to high heavens for doing what is ordinarily normal and what others b4 him have done and still doing,as a self aclaimed political veteran , you must not sound silly,chidish,stupid and unreasonable for you to register ur support for the your god Tinubu.it dosent make any shred of sense in view of the obvious fact that the man is sick,old,incoherent and unarticulated in speech and reasoning and lack the ability,agility and capability to govern a country in multiple challanges like Nig.this is not 2015 we will not entertain or tolerate any stupid propaganda from yoruba people to entrone another deadwood as a president.

What exactly did Tinubu do and why did I raise him for doing whatever he likes?


Tinubu is pursuing his life dreams, you too need to get busy, pursuing your life dreams.

Ugonna62:
Which movement,? The man is only towing the part of atiku a strategic politician who earlier visited the pdp cacuse in na to inform them of his intention to run for presidency under the party..i dont knw why any small thing tinubu do become extraodinary in the eyes of his urching,aregbe might be correct when he said that tinubu is Yoruba god,.na wao,na so una wan take win for 2023.

You must be a teenager and haven't witnessed many presidential elections.


Major presidential contenders always visit and lobby every power blocks within and outside their parties.

Awolowo, Shagari, MKO Abiola, Obasanjo, Ekwueme, Atiku all did.

wagesofsin:
Tinubu and ohuabunwa should stop wasting their time. They will not get the Presidency. What is happening in APC tells us that the APC Presidential candidate will be the person Buhari wants and it's either Rotimi Amaechi or Osibanjo.

Ohunabuwa is in the PDP.


In a democracy, it's wrong to insist that people should not contest and must wait for the president to choose his successor.

Was it Donald Trump that annointed Joe Biden?

Was it Jonathan that annointed Buhari?

maestroferddi:
Tinubu is going for broke...

This desperate moves will certainly backfire.

This is Nigeria where most things follow a routine pattern.

Atiku visited the PDP caucus in the House.

Ohunabuwa wrote to visit the PDP Caucus in the House.

You didn't criticize both of them or say they are desperate.


Tinubu also wrote to visit his party's caucus in the House and you are here foaming in the mouth that he is desperate.

muykem:
You are just shouting everywhere even when it's clear that Ademola Adeleke will never become a governor. I am from Osun state and majority of us will never leave our destiny in the hand of a man who was born in the educated and rich family but could not get ordinary WAEC at age of 50years.

The man has gone back to complete his university education in the US.

emmanuelbrown26:
Update us abeg, they should check missing body parts of d girl bcs I don't trust afonja in mining body parts.
So lazy to work but ever ready to faji, all they know how to do is skullarship, it means any missing person would be difficult to find in afonja land.

But the culprit isn't an Afonja

NNTR:
That Arch Oluyemi Odeinde RIP whom you say is his uncle was born six years after him on March 25th 1960 at UCH Ibadan (i.e. University College Hospital) and so would be his half brother actually

Architect Oluyemi Odeinde's and possibly same for the 68 years old Mr Paul Bolton's father, is Architect Olufemi Abayomi Odeinde, who passed away in 1981, due to injuries sustained in a motor accident

Architect Oluyemi Odeinde passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of Thursday March the 18th of 2021 and would have been 62 years old if still alive. He was born on March 25th 1960 and was interred on March 25th 2021. His dad and grandad passed at 59 years old, but he broke that jinx

Mr Paul Bolton, should start with getting the correct spelling of the surname of his father (i.e. Architect Olufemi Abayomi Odeinde) right first, then realise that he has plenty of the Odeindes residing in the UK

Had Mr Paul Bolton contracted me to look for his father/relatives, you would have been one of my resource persons.

eldoradoxx:
I knew all along that there was no way Chidimma could have singlehandedly overwhelmed and over powered Ataga and murdered him without a single scratch on her body. She had to have a strong male assisting her, Quadri obviously snuffed life out of Ataga with the connivance of Chioma.

She drugged Ataga and stabbed him multiple times.
The knife she used was found in the vicinity of her house at Alagomeji, Yaba

Randal:
Who is the Quadri guy

Probably the Boyfriend of Chidinma Ojukwu.

gidgiddy:
Are you saying thats why Nigeria has achieved nothing since declaring independence in 1960?

Nigeria has achieved many things since 1960.

Nigeria was a very backward country in 1960 and no doubts, it has really improved.

It may not be moving forward as expected by some people but considering many parameters , it's easy to say that Nigeria has improved in many ways.

Nigerians love to spiritualize anything they don't understand.


The OP didn't even bother to research anything scientific about aging process and why different people age differently but just jumped into conclusions based on superstitious beliefs.

That Arch Oluyemi Odeinde was his uncle.
If the man had contacted me, I will work to locate his family in the S/west, Nigeria.



His mother had a hot teenage romance with the father in 1953 which led to pregnancy and subsequently his birth in 1954 causing embarasment to his white maternal family.

JAMO84:
So, a small hijab will subdue top, trouser, shoe and berret?

It's not about subduing other forms of dressing but it introduces a very obvious division in an organization that ought to be neutral especially in an artificially created heterogeneous country already battling a religious inspired terrorism.


Our founding fathers like Ahmadu Bello , Tafawa-Balewa, Azikiwe, Awolowo, Aminu Kano, M.I Okpara and SL Akintola who negotiated our independence settled for religious neutrality and they knew what they were doing.

In Britain and the US where such religious garbs are permitted, they already have well entrenched systems that work largely based on merit regardless of religious favouritism/bias.

JAMO84:
Werey, go and reverse it now.


Even British police allows hijab




THERE ARE MORE THAN 80 MILLION MUSLIMS IN NIGERIA, NOBODY CAN DENY US OUR RIGHTS. NOBODY!!!

The essence of uniforms is to make everybody appear similar with no fear or favour.

If some members of the police force are to waer religious garbs, the police will no longer appear to be neutral and it will polarize the police along religious lines.

By the way, what will happen if all non-muslims also decide to waer their religious garbs to work?

mrvitalis:
U seem to be blinded by socialism that haven't worked anywhere in the world

Do u how many million family would leave the poverty line because of this ?

U know how much car owners would save on car repairs ?

No, I am an entrepreneur and more of a capitalist than socialist.

I just observed the unusual stand of yours

mrvitalis:
This is what I was saying for long people abused me

Not only that most can't even produce petrol

For what we sale fuel in Nigeria no refinery would break even in 100 years even

Fuel should sale for nothing less than 400 a litre
Not only should subsidy be removed ...#50 to #80 road tax should be imposed for fuel and #100 tax on diesel for road maintenance

Poor people don't benefit from subsidy it's the rich n middle class that do

On this issues of refining, you seems to be anti- people and aligning with the Government!

BSsniffer:
story..... modular refineries can't refine crude oil because it would affect dangotes business.


We can divert those subsidies to modular refineries.

Dangote refinery hasn't started business o

gaddafe:
I dare you to provide a link to the bill and let's analyse it. The house of Assembly does not have the power to use the word "any means they feel like". Rather states will only generate power with the approved means of generation which will be approved by the federal government. Also that's not even the main issue here as I didn't quote you. Power sector is divided into generation, transmission and distribution. If the house approved state for generating power, it means the federal is still in charge of the other two sections. I bet you didn't know this. Please think we'll next time before quoting me.

What really happened was that Electricity was taken from the Exclusive list to the Concurrent list so both the States and the FG can legislate on it, just like Education & Health.

Amojii:
FG should do the needful, to diversifies Nigerian infrastructures, Lagos already have a see port, building another one in badagry is like putting all your eggs in one basket...

project like this should be shifted to other parts of the country where there's an open sea, e.g Delta, Rivers or Akwa Ibom to service other parts of the country

Or else is a way of depriving the South East the comfort of easy shipping?

In this era of restructuring, start mounting pressure on the Governors of those States to build the Seaports in their States.

Lipscomb:
Evidence? Stop inviting intruder.

The Ga people themselves always say this in their oral history.

backbencher:
Where do you think your states get money from?

All of them are oil dependent. And all of them will not and cannot be able to survive without oil money.

It's harsh, and it is the truth. That's why there would be war. Or alternatively, short term, all of them charge high taxes on everyone, which could lead to unrest.

We are not in the 1960's anymore, and even if we were, our production won't be enough to sustain our large population.

Suppose there is no money from sales of crude oil to Anambra, Ogun, Kwara, Kano, Nasarawa and Ebonyi States, do you think all the people in these States will just die off or what do you mean they can't survive without money from oil?

backbencher:
What is restructuting?

Because at the end of the day, most of you shout 'restructruing' thinking that it means South would get more oil money than the North.

Really, in its pure form, restructutring means that the South South gets 80% of the oil money, while the South East gets some 20%. Everyone else fends for themselves. And please don't tell me that the South west can survive, because if it could, it would have long since stopped relying on subventions from Abuja, plus the South west does not have an actively exporting industrial sector.

And even with the South South getting most of the oil money...oil prices are going to fall.

Anyway, that means that most regions are going to be broke, and there would be a big war over resources, which you won't want and you won't like.

Me, I think we should get off oil by

1.Removing subsides on power and petrol

2.This would mean increased investment in both sectors

3.Enough electricity and power to power industries and industrial growth in all states

4.Which would mean increased exports of industrial goods

5.Now we can talk of restructuruing and even secession.


Plus, get the 70% of Nigerians to pay taxes.

Restructurting is just something used by Nigerian politicans to get votes. They know very well it is not possible in reality for now.. And yes, as a Southerner, I know it ain't. And I don't like it. But here we are.

Who is supposed to do all these you itemized?

Two lazy black Africans fighting each other because of imported religions of those who enslaved their people.!


No Arab/Jew will fight a fellow Arab/Jews because of black people
