Kccheechy: Is it the same Davido that said that he wasn’t brilliant and wasn’t getting good grades in school?? the same davido who said his teacher once told him that he won’t make it in life because he wasn’t academically sound?
Davido actually studied Music at the University.
Most people think he studied one serious and difficult course.
leomarz007: Why are y'all degrading davido. What do u mean by he doesn't look like one who has good book head. Den dey write who sabi book for face.
During my time the Don 1 for cultist and Igbo smoking from ekpoma follow carry first class. The guy know something die.
Ogbeni If u no sabi book no reason say the next person be like you.
When I was in 100L in the university, all my friends and i were surprised one day when an announcement was made that Kegites Club will be conducting their tutorials to help Students.
We went to this tutorials out of sheer curiosity, lol and behold, we saw brilliant academic discussions being delivered by apparently unserious Kegites members.
Idiko1: Do you intellectually and remotely embrace the fact that ports in Nigeria are exclusive domain of federal government? I really want Nigeria to disintegrate so as to usher fresh intellectual development.
Railways, Airports and Seaports are in the Exclusive LEGISLATIVE list in the constition.
What this means is that only the FG can legislate on these. It doesn't necessarily mean only the FG can build and operate Railways,Airports and Seaports.
During the Military Era, the FG directly went to the business of building and operating Airports and Seaports on behalf of all Nigerians but after over 40 years of this practice, nothing much was achieved except inefficiency, nepotism and massive corruption.
In the present dispensation, the FG is restricting itself to Legislative and regulatory roles, giving licenses to whoever wants to build these infrastructure.
The Anambra Airport, Lagos blue light rail, Port-Harcourt light rail, Gelegele Seaport in Edo, Ibom Air and Lekki Seaport are all States projects carried out after receiving licenses/approval from the FG.
Cantonese: Looking at the write up without bias, cannot you dispute the fact the very bad leaders have been foisted on us as citizens? This country has gone from bad to worse on all indices.
We had an Ambode who was doing quite well in terms of infrastructure and trying to make Lagos better and a mega city, but he was removed because he did not play ball. With him by now, agberoism would have become history.
By now people living in a so called mega city like Lagos should be ashamed of agberos, okadas and keke napeps. Their activities had been successfully curtailed by Brig. Marwa before 1998 and we had peace. Today agberos have even taken over control of traffic lights in parts of Lagos. The leader of NURTW presently campaigns and the reason is simple. Get BAT in and have an additional 8 years of the nuisance in Lagos.
Adelakun has no axe to grind. The truth is there for everyone to see, except one chooses to behave like the proverbial ostrich.
He’s greed is responsible for the national calamity that we experience today nationally. Before 2014 BAT was a regional leader. His leading ACN to team up with CPC was to gain national prominence and as we have finally heard to satisfy his “life long ambition”. If what we presently experience from APC is the best of our president, as he said, what difference will APC under BAT make?
For me the candidate for the SW should be Osinbanjo. The difference is very clear.
Look my friend, the beauty of democracy is the plurality of choices.
There are over 10 other Presidential aspirants, why not chose one with unblemished records and start promoting his candidacy?
Why this funny idea that if Tinubu is contesting, other aspirants are automatically prevented from contesting?
In developed democracies, you won't see so many people asking that a particular citizen must not contest or people campaigning against a particular citizen like they are doing here.
Tinubu has a God given and constitutional right to aspire to the highest office in his country, it's evil trying to take away that right from any citizen.
Tinubu is not saying you or your candidate should not contest, so why are you saying he should back out of the race.
litaninja: Lagos state does not have the capacity for these things and its absolutely unnecessary. Move infrastructure and develop OTHER PARTS OF NIGERIA.
Lagos State in conjunction with private investors are building a port in Lekki which has now reached 80% completion and you are saying they should move it to other States?
Edo State is building Gelegele Seaport.
I expect Ondo To start building it's own port soon.
mrvitalis: It's Nigeria loss that Igbos haven't been the president of Nigeria not Igbo loss at all .....Igbos have the biggest pool middle class in Nigeria
Any real estate agents can easily verify this and we are the biggest beneficiary of the present Nigeria system
Some tell me what has any politician done to become president that orji many, rochas ,onu haven't done ...I dare anyone to name one thing
They appear to be more fixated on demonizing Tinubu. They devote their time and energy trying to prevent the SW from reaching Aso-rock than having any Igbo president.
PresidentAtiku: If the principle of rotational presidency means power should shift to the south, then power should also shift to a Christian.
Buhari has done 8 years for the Muslims.
In the spirit of fairness, it is time for a Southern Christian. Tinubu had this ambition to become Buhari's vice in 2015 but it was obvious the Muslim-Muslim ticket won't fly.
Now he wants to achieve that same ambition to the detriment of Christians. It is unfair and he must be stopped.
Christian Association of Nigeria will soon comment on this.
Anyim Pius Anyim, Moghalu and Dave Umahi are christians, while Omoyele Sowore is a traditionalist, so start supporting any one of them.
I read the columnist's article to the end and here are my inferences;
The writer believes
1) Tinubu is a bad candidate.
2) Tinubu is responsible for the problems in Lagos State.
3)That Tinubu is the cause of the problems in Nigeria from 2015 till date.
After enumerating everything negative that will happen if Tinubu becomes the president, she didn't point out any solution , especially the candidate with the Midas' Touch that will solve the problems in Nigeria.
Somebody must become the president. Is that person free of all that this woman accussed Tinubu of.
In my own opinion, Abimbola Adelakun seems like someone who has a personal axe to grind with Tinubu. It's better for her to start canvassing for her candidate, whose morality is at par with that of Angel Gabriel.
The power to order movement of Armed troop is a very important power and ONLY the C-in-C wield such powers. He can however delegate this powers to his military commanders in certain circumstances.
If a civilian, especially one that is outside of Government is given such a power to order the movement of Armed troops, it is serious security risk that can even topple the Government one day.
Agugbadin: At all, the capable Igbos have not declared people like Peter Obi, Monghalu and many capable and good Igbos politicians are yet to speak. Only theives like Orji Kalu, Theodore Orji, Okorocha and now Umahi saboteur are speaking.
kansoboy: Who are u guys? I am an Igbo person...umehi stand no chance in APC presidency...u think APC primaries and the game is a joke? Umehi will not make it to 4th position in the primaries....
Even if he doesn't win the Primaries, he will use it to negotiate for something big.
okefranci: You have Right to your opinion but I am doubt if you could even won your local government not alone the whole south east, anyway try your best
TheRareGem1: At last we have someone from the SE but I'm surprised SE people (Igbo) or their groups and elders are mute about this. Is it not to support your own, why is it that hard ?
GoodHardDick: Why the igbos seem like they adore atiku over tinubu is because atiku selected Peter obi to be his running mate (these made the igbos felt loved)
And of course Tinubu is another disaster waiting to happen in Nigeria. How do you expect a drug dealer to become your president? What exactly does he have to offer? Wasn't he among the core people who sold Buhari to Nigerian?
Bros, tell yourself the truth. Nigeria is dying and needs someone young and vibrant, someone filled with wisdom to rescue the country. Not someone like Tinubu at all. Tinubu has nothing to offer Nigeria. That man will suck Nigeria dry
Politics is all about interests.
You adore Atiku because he appears to protect your interests.
Then stop demonizing other Nigerians who think Tinubu will protect their interests.
KosiGee: He did not mention Igbos!! Really ?? Tinubu messed up mister, he wanted people to have an open mind and he had to mention Evans of all people?
What will be will be…I wish him luck but stop turning this into an Igbo hates Yoruba nonsense: most of us here have Yorubas as great buddies and nothing will change that not even the toxic environment of Nairaland.
I reserve hate for evil and greedy individuals like Rochas, Uba family of Uga etc…
Bros, nobody is interested in all this long story, star projecting your preferred candidate.
It's a CONTEST and Tinubu has the right to contest.
Maxymilliano: Not in a poverty-stricken society like ours. Money will always determine our politics. They are aware of this and that is why they are not ready to reduce poverty in the land.
Always try to say the truth and resiste the urge to tell lies in order to cast yourselves as victims.
Tinubu never mentioned Igbo in that video or said anyone started kidnapping . He wanted people to have open minds and not just narrow the search for the assailants.
GoodHardDick: OP, nobody hates tinubu The thing is,, that man has absolutely nothing to offer Nigeria. He has no visions. He's a harden criminal who will get in there and suck Nigeria dry.
Tinubu is Buhari pro max. Nigeria needs young and vibrant young men with brains and not those old idiots
But Igbo adore Atiku who is older than Tinubu and corrupt.
Coldie: I hated that civil war I swear. That was igbos biggest mistake it’s the only thing I wish I can erase from our history.
When I heAr some facts about it I begin to ask myself if Ojukwu was really a hero, I heard that sometimes in the war when there’s no weapons he would bundle hundreds of Igbo youths with cutlass and stick send them to the battle front to fight against an army with rifles and ak47 if that wasn’t enough when they started running out of matured soldiers they turned to kids as soldiers, he was loosing the war but refused to give up despite all advice, men who tried to go against him was executed, but instead kept sending people to their death until he ran away finally
The odds were against Biafra winning that war, he should have opted for dialogue to solve the impass.
To win in that war, Biafra needed to have advantages over the interest of Nigeria like greater financial resources, greater population, more advanced military Technology and more local & International allies.
