Here's a Northerner with 4 wives and 28 children. Yet some people won't still leave their delusions that the North is more than the South.
This man's family is more than 4 families in my street.

SmartPolician:
When will Nigeria have a national database and social security number so we can end this debate once and for all?

I don't even understand why we still have census in 2022 when you can introduce social security number or NIN to count every soul that genuinely comes from this country.

That's the reason why FG made it mandatory to link your NIN to your sim. They also made it mandatory to use NIN when registering for JAMB.
Very soon, it will be impossible to do anything in Nigeria without NIN.

It was so ironic that we Nigerians criticized Nigeria for not having a database and yet still kicked against NIN. Our heads truly nor correct.

nakaman:
Small small truth go dey come out,

When Obasanjo said "the money Atiku stole under his administration in 2006 could feed 300 million Nigerians for 400 year" he was referring to the money Atiku collected for the census.

And they robbed us with the figures and moved everything to the north.

I've said it before... That Obj statement is nonsense.

Calculate what N100 (assuming everybody spends N100 for food every day) times 300 million persons times 400 years would be. That's N12 trillion. That's more than the entire national budget of of Nigeria from 1999-2007
That's also more than what Nigeria have gotten from crude oil sale during Obj's tenure.
So where did Atiku see the money to steal from?

IfnobeGod20:
You comment as if you're not in this country and don't know how it is difficult for a minority region to have a shot in the presidency. If you think, we will have a kind of opportunity that brought Jonathan, you're deceiving yourself. If Jonathan wasn't in government controlling the government macenery, you think it would be an easy nut to crack in 2011. With all his power in 2015, he was still skewed by the two major regions that has the votes.
Your words is even inconsistent. From your words, until you join a good party and can play your politics well, even if you're competent and ready to serve your country, you must use a platform that is good like joining APC or PDP abi. Meaning no matter how competent you may be, if you join unpopular party you won't be consider. And with this, you see that you are not been truthful to your word and conscience.
Why was Tinubu afraid of choosing a minority christain in the north or even choosing from the north central because he knows that the nation has not attained nationhood to consider competence above other things but rather unfortunately they consider religion and ethnic biases.
We need not hiding under one finger, the majority will always have their ways while the minority's will always have their says in this our political arrangements, no gainsaying except there is another political rearrangement in the form of political rotation suggested.

Why did you skip the part of my comment that said, you'll have to be 83 years to contest again if you previously contested and lost at 35?


Regional rotation of presidency is unfair in every way.

bonnyhope:
Without subsidy
Na like N400 you go de pay per litre and every other commodities price go shoot up

A small price to pay for a better Nigeria.

Even without removing fuel subsidy fuel keeps increasing. Let dem koko remove everything.

They should just wait for Dangote and PH refinery to be finished first tho

HumbleOptimist:
Good Day Dear Nairaland Family,

My Sister started behaving weirdly last few Weeks. She laughs alone, talks alone and is sometimes restless especially at Night.

Though she always responds well and correctly when engaged. I've asked her and she told me she doesn't know when that happens and it's unintentional.

I, on my part have tried talking to my Dad to take her to a Mental Health Expert, my Dad seems to believe it is spiritual attack instead.
Please, I need Medical practitioners in the house to help tell me what she's probably suffering from so I can Confidently convince my Dad.

Can you please help move this to front page?

Brain on fire.
That's the name of a movie where are seemingly normal, healthy girl started loosing it. Right before everyone's eyes this girl was becoming mad.
Her parents took her to professionals but they couldn't find what was wrong with her. They tested for drugs but she wasn't taking drugs.
It wasn't until a doctor that came visiting the doctor in charge of her looked into the matter. He discovered that the cause of her madness was that her immune system was fighting her brain. Her immune system was eating up her brain.
She was later cured and became normal again.

This movie is based on a true life story.


I've actually seen two people in real life that has similar problem. But these ones, their immune system is fighting their body not their brain.
One of the person died two years ago.

stanluiz:
Peter obi will declare his assets. He is not hiding anything.

As for the two other Crooks, I don't know about them.

He will? He didn't publish it the first time. It won't publish it this time.

HeRulesMen:
Tinubu and Atiku can never do that because they are corrupt.

Peter Pandora don declare e own?

End fuel subsidy to stop this.

Pells:
Can anything good come out of Lagos

Yes. Right in our very eyes Lagosians would be traveling by train provided by the Lagos State Government

IfnobeGod20:
Mr. Man, your first submission was projecting different ethnic groups to counter regional presidential rotation and I did told you that even in appoint, no one consider ethnic colouration for appointment but only regional.

However, as I said earlier, you're myopic of the political maneuvering in the nation. The region with majority population will always have their way with the existing arrangement while the region with minority population will always try their luck at any point in time. Like for example, it will only take God's intervention for minority region to scale through the political maneuver of the majority region. Just as the present contestants taken advantage of their region to flex muscle against those with minority population. You hear them saying, the votes in a certain state will cancel all votes in a region and that is the truth because people don't vote on the line of competence but on religion, ethnic and sectional biases. This alone has caused disloyalty and regional friction among the different components in the nation.

Now, if I may ask you, it is not better to wait for some years than not to have any chance to lead your own country when you know you have the capacity? Are you telling me, the crop of the people contesting are the best in the country? They are not the best but many are afraid to come out because they would be schemed out by the political jobbers.

I do believe in such rotational arrangement, a maximum tenure will also be decided, which I presume could be 5 or 6 years. Which makes some sense.

You honestly don't have an idea of what you're saying.

Wait for some years than not have a chance?
The required age of being President is 35 years currently.
With regional rotation if I contest for Presidency and lose, I'll have to wait for 48 years again before the rotation will come back to my region. 48 years plus 35 is 83. Meaning I'll be 83 years before I can contest again. Tinubu is 70 years old and people are saying he's too old. Who then will vote for an 83 years old me?
Even with your maximum tenure of 6 years, it will still take a whooping 36 years before I can give the Presidency a shot again. 36+35 is 71.
In essence, regional rotation simply means everybody gets only one chance to be President.

About me not standing a chance at all if it's not by regional rotation, that's cow dung.
Who would have thought Goodluck Jonathan, an Ijaw man would win in 2011?
As long as you can play politics well, join a good party, anybody can be President.

That's much better than regional presidency where everyone just has only one chance to be President.

Beverlyjean:
Ronaldo only plays little teams when Portugal is paired with them during qualifiers ... Portugal dont go looking for minors to play friendlies with... 80% of Ronaldo’s goals came in competitive games ... 35 percent if messis goals came in competitive games... u obviously not intelligent enough to know these things

That's because Europe has more competitive tournaments than South America.

raheemislamiyah:
Watch full match highlights of Portugal Vs Spain


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymzdUmjQgso

It's really hurting Ronaldo that he's not scoring goals. Even though I'm not his fan I want him to score.
Ronaldo's really hurting.

Beverlyjean:
At 35 ...Ronaldo won top scorer in the league...something messi can never do ... at 37 Ronaldo was nominated for balon dor...messi wasn't even nominated at 35 ...

Ronaldo nomination for Ballon D'or is just to increase the number of hands clapping when Benzema is declared the winner.
Clapping for the winner isn't an achievement.

Zee0007:
Oga he's not finished. It's just one bad beginning of the season. Can you remember how Messi was frustrated last season. It's just a phase in Football.

Most people shouting he's finished couldn't say that last season. Watch out he will bounce back.

Last season we tried to explain to Ronaldo fans that Messi is struggling because he's trying to adapt to his new team. He has been playing in Barcelona for almost 2 decade and he left to PSG. Yet you guys wanted him to do as he was in Barca.

Now the chicken has come home to roost.
Better bear the trolling like a man.

Kingozymandias:
I will keep collecting Tinubu's money but will vote Obi now cry.more

Authority1o1:
Okay...


APC can continue with their gimmicks. They know quite well what they're doing.

I thought they all said that it was Nnamdi Kanu that was ravaging the whole of Nigeria, and that he was a threat to national peace. They arrested and jailed him, so why hasn't the peace been restored?

When some observant Igbos and honest Nigerians tell you that UGM is same as DSS/political mercenaries on rampage, they aren't far from the truth.

They're all out to distabilize SE for mere political gains

The founder of Boko Haram, Abubakar, was captured and killed. Did that ended Boko Haram? No

rusher14:
Why does Anambra state not have such train service?

Because infrastructures doesn't run an economy. So a wise liar once said.

bigpicture001:
see.there teo types of economy..service based economy and production based economy..u always see big industries as industrialization...one can import those mavhines and still.produce what u need at a good rate

I would have written a length post of how industrialisation will make Nigeria prosperous in a short while.

bigpicture001:
no sir..its not true...steeel company alone doest industralize a nation...alot more do...

the naaira need to have good value to stop the suffering of Nigerians

Steel company is the pillar of industrialisation.
It's importance can't be over emphasised

nkemoma:
It seem this "small goat" is confused... His brain is dancing between Yekini and Atiku..

It is only when he hears OBI that he gets an erection...

Reno we used to enjoy your motivational quotes.. But, mehn.. Now I know that integrity ain't by those motivational shits you or anybody drops...

Las las vested interests always comes to play for the average Nigerian..


God abeg o

You Obi FC can form victimization eh. Reno has been dishing out insults to Tinubu since 2015 and no one is crying

bigpicture001:
no... money value truely plays a role in an economy management...but all these u fear wont b a problem...it will even get stronger after re-domination.. because dangote and BUA will set the economy free from bondage

I support redenomination whole heartedly. But let Nigeria first become industrialised first.
The only way for Nigeria to become industrialised is when the steel company starts working.

That's when I prefer redenomination

Kingozymandias:

Me sef I went there and wore Tinubu's shirt.
Yes because he stole our money and I collected my good share and I encourage all of you youths pls.anywhere Tinubu is doing rally attend and collec this month pls it is our country's money.

But on that day I dey vote Obi. But you will see me at all APC rally o, whenever they will share money I will surely attend.

But on that election day na Obi o go vote.

Me too. I also went there and collect money. And I'll still vote Tinubu next year.
There's nothing as sweet as getting paid for what you love.

bigpicture001:
Naira needs redomination also for the following reasons

1. convinience to carry around
2. National pride
3. good and effective pricing system
4. re- introduction of coins
5. safety reasons
6. cheapers cost of printing

With too much pressure on our naira, any denomination was be wrong. When our refinery is working and our steel company starts working then redenomination won't be a bad idea. The economy first need to be stable.

Oblongata:
Una go just come post rubbish and others go follow comment rubbish without adequate research.

No be the same Ghana wey go copy Prof. Charles Soludo?

Their currency does not really depict the state of their economy and far worse than Nigeria.

They are operating Inorganically.

They are in no way better and Naira is way ahead of them.

Whenever you see Ghanaian currency just add 3 zeros for your mind to get the true picture.

It's four zeros not three.
Only dumb people who don't know about currency redenomination will see this as news.

Antivirus92:
bring yourself evidence

Being your evidence that I'm wrong

it has nothing to do with the lady's ethnicity

It has everything to do with her being a Yoruba

Antivirus92:
nobody harbours hatred like Yorubas, they can just hate you by just hearing your name emeka,ifeanyi,chinenye etc without having any sort of relationship with you

The hatred of the Yorubas by the Igbos cannot be better studied than the case where two identical twins and their elder brother quarreled because one decided to marry a Yoruba woman.
For 6 solid years, two twins separated because one loved a Yoruba woman.

EngrKemp:
Truely, I want to know why I should vote them...

The parties ... PDP and Apc have dealt with this country so mercilessly as if the masses offended them
They v so badly governed the country and to add salt to injury ,
These parties ... Apc and PDP had the audacity to bring out the most notorious in their folds neglecting people with repute ..
They didn't even bother to save face by bringing people with less alleged corruption, they went to bring out those with the highest moral burden..
I mean, do the parties really think that the masses , Nigerians do not matter at all?
Like they can just come up and Rob Nigerians silly on their faces and never cared?
The revolution that took place in Europe where the citizens killed their elites and politicians seems to be brewing in Nigeria...
It's simply nature.
If u can't Carter for ur citizens and Make sure their welfare is the centre crux then u v no business..
Dino malaye was quoted as saying hungry Nigerians are supporting a particular popular candidate who the majority of Nigerians are now rooting for to be their president..
My question is****" Is it not silly for a supposed leader to call his citizens *hungry Nigerians? ***
Who stole the money and treasury that now made Nigerians hungry and poor?
Who made Nigeria the headquarters of poverty in the world overtajing India ! ?

Have you ever heard where an American leader, south African politician, European leaders call their citizens poor? Or Hungry!

I really felt insulted after reading that piece..
I wish to contact a human right lawyer to sue that lousy man with no iota of shame and no clue to the importance of nation building.....

What arrant nonsense ..

Name a politician who isn't corrupt and I'll name 1000 prostitutes that are virgins.

IfnobeGod20:
The problem of some of you is that you always think about politics and not the wider aspect scope.
If Chapter 2 Section 14 sub-section 3 of the constitution of Nigeria can specifically talk of composition of Federal government or its agencies should be administer through federal character principle which in turn will promote National Unity and Command National Loyalty. Why do such federal character practice at MDAs levels of appointments but jettisoned when it comes to elective positions.
This your submission is mischievous because in appointive positions such is not considered but only region. Appointment is never on ethnic basis but on regional basis. Please what stops such to be practice on elective posts, if not the evil intention of exerting majority factors on the minority.

Clearly you're the one that's myopic and not looking at the wider scope.

Like I said before.. If I, an Edo guy, contest for presidency when it's the turn of the SS and I lose, you'd expect me to wait for a whooping 48 years before I can try my luck again? I should shelf my ambition for half a century because it's not yet the turn of SS?

Giving someone a one time shot in his life to be president doesn't look like fairness and equity to me.

I'm a fair believer of survival of the fittest. Power should be fought for not given.

Modified: As for federal character in appointments, that's a total different ball game. Positions by appointment are numerous and can accommodate lots of persons. But federal character on the Presidency can accommodate only one person. And if we go by region, that's one person per region in 48 years. That's rubbish to me.

Oddfinder001:
Bro it still doesn't change the fact that buhari is Nigeria's worst president..bigotry, massive corruption, fanaticism, terrorism, hunger and confusion

The Israelites must have called Moses worse than any Pharaoh. No Pharaoh kept them in the wilderness for 40 years.
