Deputy1111:
Traditional rulers in Nigeria have continued to praise Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

Bkayy, Penguin2, MrVitalis and MnwanyiOgwashi will not like this

Darkcloud11:
If Yoruba are wise they will campaign for a SS presidency person so they can win their alliance,campaign for a SS guy in the primaries and watch him loose, and another Yoruba would win the Yoruba guy should now pick a SS guy as Vp,by that action u have split the vote make sure it’s either ijaw or ibo or effik, that means u are guaranteed about 50% vote from SS the north will come through for yorubas,but if the Yorubas out rightly demand for presidency they will fail woefully,the Hausa fulanis will feel yorubas are getting to big for their boot thank you.

So you think that you are wiser than the Yorubas?


No wonder you are postulating a SW/SS ticket for 2023 presidential election!

Darkcloud11:
tribalism apart SS and SE won’t vote a Yoruba president guy pipe down e go shock SW,in fact I want tinubu to win APC presidential ticket

But Rotimi Amaechi is not a Yoruba man, so the contest is now between Amaechi Vs Atiku. Therefore feel free to support your beloved candidate/party.

yanabasee2:
He knows that his people will betray him.... it's a common practice from where he originates from.... So he wants to speak to the tribe that doesn't betray their own....

Where did he originate from? Deji Adeyanju is from Kogi State.

Dammyrosky:
Nigerians, please let us always think about our tommorow and the generation to come. Don't let us think of today alone by selecting leaders base on ethnicity, religion, politics, qualifications and the likes.... Imagine, we are already bringing up someone from a failed administration to be our future leader at this particular time that we are.... hennn...
I just feel pained typing this, just can't understand our mindset, especially we the youths.

Hmm, but you can't stop people from contesting.



It is better to join political parties or form your own and start campaigning for the candidate you consider to be the best.

sageb:
Oyatz come and see ooo

Okay bro.


However, you need to know that virginity is a state of lack of sexual experience and not necessarily age.



If you ask some British Pathologists they will tell you how many women that died in Britain with their virginity which are only discovered during autopsies.

Guardiola84:
Pls why naija people too like suffer?is it not osubande n buhari that is raping Nigeria for d past 7yrs?na so this ofenmanu people just d use tribalism d do politics ,na so they packaged buhari blc of osubane their brother wey be VP now how mkt?where have osubande govern before ?let osubande go n govern his state first let's see his performance,come to think of it pls what does APC have to offer as a party after d gnashing of teeth they subjected Nigerians into in d past 7yrs now ?continue d recycle failures n continue d enjoy poverty ,osubande is a failure as well as his principal buhari prd!

Bros, relax.


It's not only APC that will participate in the election, other parties too will participate and you will have many choices to chose from. Even within the APC, there will be a primary election to select the flag bearer of the party, so start campaigning for your preferred candidate and defeat the Ndi ofe nmanu.

abobote:
Osibanjo can not defeat Atiku, Tinubu vs Atiku will be more interesting

Wike will clinch the PDP ticket

CrownOfClay724:
This Tappa,
Does it extends to Kwara State?
I have a friend from Kwara who insists he is Tappa instead bof Yoruba.

Yes, it extend to Kwara.


Tapa is Yoruba name for Nupe.

Ekealterego:
What is now Nupe (Tappa) use to be Yoruba land or occupied by Yorubas at one time. Whether there were some people living there before the Yorubas arrived, that I don't know though.

Both Yoruba and Nupe have strong history of inter-relationship especially during the hey days of Oyo Empire.

Many notable elites in Old Oyo had Nupe Mothers/wives.

Igboid:
Okay.
We need to do more to reteach our people there.
I don't understand this strong affinity by Igbos to claim exotic origin stories from kingdoms outside Igboland.
If it's not Igala, it's Bini, or it's far away Israel.

Someone needs to conduct a study on this mass induced self hate and need to get attached to perceived places of power (Monarchical societies in case of Bini and Igala) and modern power in terms of Israel.

It's very disturbing.
Imagine even Zik himself was inflicted with this same mental illness.

More often than not, the old stories (not the recently fabricated Jewish connections) are true. The reasons are many and related;

1) Pre-colonial African Kingdoms experienced unnecessary wars over virtually any matter from succession disputes to slave raiding to boundaries matters.

Great Monarchies used military force to subdued their neighbours.

2) These wars caused displacement of people, who naturally will prefer to move to peaceful areas.

3) The areas without strong Kingdoms like the present S/East were spared of these internecine wars in the era between 1600-1900 and was more peaceful, thus it served as the natural safe haven for people fleeing areas of conflicts.


This however doesn't diminish the greatness of Ndigbo.

Igboid:
Interesting.
I just remembered the song "Oleku" by Ice prince.
Lol!
Thanks for the history lesson on evolution of Oluku/Onuku from Oleku.
Funny thing is that it is used as far as Abia and Imo state. Being parts of Igboland who had no interactions with Igala, yet Oluku/Onuku is used to refere to someone behaving in a stupid manner.
Very interesting.
More interesting is that in Anambra dialects where there is a replacement of L for N in words, as seen in Ana for Ala, Enu for Elu, the L in Oleku quickly changed to Onuku, while the Igbos in southern part who use L for N, despite having no contact with Igalas, ended up rechanging the Onuku they heard from Ndi ANAMBRA to Oluku, and by so doing ended up with a word closer to the original Oleku word than the Anambra people closer to Igala.

Language evolution is very interesting.

Actually, in both Igala and Yoruba languages, Oluku originally means 'Friend' but in certain social contexts the friend being referred to means 'friends with benefits' like Girlfriend or Woman-Friend.

rdokoye:
I know it does, that's why I pointed out that Nigeria is undertaxed, and as I said before, Igbo business owners rarely pay tax. This is not conjecture, unlike the things you've written.

Virtually every state in the SW is heavily in debt. Unlike in the SE, where even the poorest state owes very little, and that's because of the private sector, which is more developed in the SE than any of the other regions.

You keep shifting the goal posts sir.


The topic is about IGR, so how does debt come into it?

Every State in the S/west is indebted to who? According to who?
And the S/East States are not in debt? Because of private sector?

Which private sector that doesn't pay tax but somehow make their States Gov't not to be in debt?





#These your theories aren't adding up sir, cook another theory.

Impecca:
She doesn't know what a Forum or Blog is eventho she has an Android phone. I just taught her how to shortcut to screenshot with it recently

These are problems that have easy solutions. There aren't disabilities.

rdokoye:
IGR is low in the SE because most Igbo people are self-employed and pay next to no tax.

Unlike in less developed states where everyone works in the public sector. That's why the SW, for example, struggled during the lockdowns in 2020, because almost everyone works in the public sector. Whereas in Anambra, Obiano removed all tax payments for the entire year. Because Anambra has a private sector led economy.

IGR is just revenue derived from tax. It doesn't reflect the wellbeing of the people.

You wrote out of ignorance sir.

1) IGR also include taxes collected from self-employed residents of each State.
Taxes are leveled on markets which are collected by the traders associations and added up to be remitted to their States' Gov't.



2) Who told you that almost everyone in the S/west are Gov't workers?
All the people working with Osun State Gov't for instance aren't upto 20,000 compared to a population of over 5 million residents.

Do you know the number of quarries in Osun State alone? Do you know how many tonnes of timbers & planks, Kolanuts and palm oil that leave Osun State every week, to be sold in the North?

Do you know the volume of trade along the international borders in Ogun and Oyo States?

Broveens42:
Nigerians are so predictable. I knew you would make this comment.
It's all propaganda still
and yet, everyone relies on oil to pay salaries.
Who is deceiving who?

Excuse me sir, the topic is not about oil or payment of salaries and if everyone rely on oil to pay salaries ,why is the S/East performing poorly in this Statistics on IGR?

plaindealer:
Unfortunately, when the North retaliates, it won't be the ESN terrorists dying, it's going to be the innocent Igbo people minding their business in the North.

I just don't understand why they can not learn from history.

You reap what you sow.

How come that these killer herdsmen have never reaped the evils they are sowing in Benue, Plateau, Southern Kaduna and all over Southern Nigeria?

AlexBells:
Was I stressing on who built the bridge or that things were going fine and I don't see why things should go terrible, was the central government not the government of Zik and Tafawa, was Zik not an Easterner

You made a grave error, accept it and move on.

The FG built the bridge (it wasn't built by the Eastern Region).

Whiteangel1234:
every One Nigeria Advocate should be worry

Even at the peak of the civil war,people were doing night parties , wedding ceremonies , naming ceremony etc in Lagos, Ilorin, Maiduguri, Minna, Ibadan, Kano and Yola.

Tingotoe:
The data is sadly silent on the contributions the ibos make in the regions they migrate to. Ibos contribute alot to the economy of the country as a whole

The regions provide opportunities for the migrants to make their living.

Broveens42:
People should really be ashamed of themselves. What you call small south east who build their airports and key infrastructures themselves without FG with a whooping 52 billion (that's if it's not higher but for propaganda).
I also laugh when sw was assessed using Lagos with 278 billion, which is the gateway to the country backed by FG.

When you shun a disproportionate analysis. You discover SE comes tops just after SS

Even if you take out Lagos out of the S/West, Oyo State alone had more values than 3 S/East States combined.

So if 1 million people wear Biafra vest, they will arrest the 1 million people

Competence5050:
It's the fault of the market women, always blocking the drainage... Our governor is working... Number one citizen of Nigeria come 2023

2023: Vote Wike for president.



Wike dey work, na we go enjoy am!

pacino26:
For those who would want to comment blindly, Moscow road boasts of very good drain. That's the same area Amechi did his mono rail project too, so it's not a case of poorly done job.

Na flash flood

But you won't be talking like this if this is in Lagos.

LegendHero:
@the bolded, that is the main issue. They exhibit the same gross inferiority complex, bitterness, and the "world against us" like the black Americans due to slavery.

If you study the blacks well too you will see they are also bedeviled with the same problem. That psychological issue will not leave anytime soon except probably when Nigeria separate and they have their own countries.

Until then, we just have to tolerate them.

But majority of the igbos i see in real life are good people and don't exhibit these traits. There are some that are my childhood friends, neighbours, teachers, pastor, business partners and of course, Ex-lovers. I interact with them and i don't see all these traits. Infact, there are igbos in my hometown that have naturalized through inter marriages.

horsepower102:
A lot of Igbos dont let their kids speak Igbo at home. Even in lagos, there are so many Igbo children that cannot speak Igbo. This is one area that I respect the yorubas.

Igbo children in the S/west speak and learn igbo from their parents but they speak Yoruba with their friends/play mates on the street. The same is applicable to Yoruba, urhobo, Efik children living in the S/east.

AllahIsShit:
You are obviously bereft of even a modicum of knowledge on how self determination works.

When the time comes, Buhari or even Nigeria won't play any role. It will determined by either a plebiscite or a referendum which will be overseen by a specially appointed panel of the United Nations just as it was done in Kosovo, Montenegro, East Timor, Eritrea and all other countries who emerged as a result of self determination.

The Igbos who are native to the Niger Delta like the Elele, Isiokpo, Rumuji, Ernohua, Akpor, Aluu Igwuruta and Obio in Rivers State, the Enuani, Ika, and Ukwuani/Ndokwa who are all Anioma Igbos in Delta State and the Igbo Ekureku, Adadama, Itigidi and Igbo Imabana who are Igbos in Cross River state and many other indigenous Igbos in the South South and even the ones in Benue State like the Umuezeokoha, Umuezeoka, Oriuzor, Umuoghara, Amaekka and Amaezekwe all in Ezza communities, Izzi, Ezzamgbo and Effium will also vote and decide if they want to join Biafra.

Nigeria's only role will be to await the result of the vote and accept the outcome whether they like it or not.

Point of correction, the United Nations don't conduct referendum for countries.

ZKOSOSO:
Oga...Na because Tinubu over sabi and hate for GEJ that landed us into this mess we are in.

So allow everyone to DRAG Tinubu in Peace

Again this is wrong sir.

Most Nigerians don't really understand how countries develop and what should be the roles of political parties.

1) Tinubu is just an (unelected) individual, he couldn't have made the country what it is today.

2) Even if we agree that Tinubu is the cause of all the problems in the Country, the most approriate thing to do is to think of solutions to these problems.

3) Virtually all the discussions about a presidential elections, 15 months away is centred on Tinubu instead of discussing the problems of the country like insecurity, inflation and depreciation of the Naira, food security, unemployment ,poverty rates and the plans of each candidates to tackle these problems.


4) Dragging Tinubu alone will NOT solve any problem. On the contrary, it will give him more sympathy because some people will interprete it as undue witchhunt and rally round him.
In the long run, if he doesn't get the presidential post, a huge concession will be made to him.



#It will be very long for Nigeria to develop if we continue in these ways

Leverage2021:


Dem dey snap picture forgetting who hold knife na him get yam

Where was tinubu when they removed Adams

Where was tinubu when they appointed Bumi

The carpet has long been taken off his feet

Why this fixation about a particular citizen called Tinubu?


It will be very long for Nigeria to develop with this type of mindset.

There is no meeting by the political parties to brainstorm on the problems facing the country and how to solve them but every action and inactions are taking with respects to Mr Tinubu, what he will do or how he will do it.

sageb:
Are you not supporting Tinubu for president again?
Well, Wike is building flyover over here in port Harcourt. Maybe he wants to take it further to the National polity.
Mr. Project aka Flyover Governor

That's the beauty of Democracy.



I am not actually supporting Tinubu per se but i am strongly against the attempts to limit his rights to aspire to be the president of his country.


When we limit the right of a particular citizen to run for an election because we don't like him, we are indirectly reducing the democratic space.

KingGBsky:
Which Apga are you taking about? The one that’s only relevant in the east. The man has a presidential ambition so how does apga help him in his presidential bid?

I understand you but i think, Victor Oye is more correct.


If Obi had stayed in APGA and worked with other leaders, APGA will be controlling at least 3 States by now and he can leverage on that to form alliance/merger with other parties to realize a presidential dream.

Wike dey work, na we go enjoy am!


2023: Vote Wike for President.
