By this logic region that fails to vote any govt of the day should forget representation, sad for Nigeria.

How do you combine democracy and dictatorship in same country?

Everyone is afraid of calling out Fulani herdsmen, now we have to blame it on Mali and other countries.

Did Punch interview them to know they are not Nigerians? Even if they are not, how come foreigners enter our country and hold us all to ransom?

To the best of my knowledge it is against banking ethics to grant a sitting president or governor a personal loan.

And the Service chiefs' tenure have been elongated, we are good at rewarding mediocres.

IamPatriotic:
You're probably one of the disrespectful and annoying teenagers on nairaland, let me educate you a bit, the time spent by the 5 of them was equal to time spent by David mark alone. The post went round the 5 states because they lacked coordinators who could have ensure harmony and oneness among them.

Don't twist history, that was the era of Obj and Atiku fight over control of National Assembly, they sponsored impeachments for control.

Politics is like a pendulum, it swings. Ken Nnamani remains my best Senate President, I was proud of him when OBJ's third term was killed. I remember David Mark for doctrine of Necessity and Saraki for political Maradona. Let's see what the new SP will bring to the table.

FYsol:
Imagine. MKO lost in most eastern states. Did these people ever supported anything from South West? Yet they refer to Yorubas as traitors

NCR VP came from the East yet MKO won Anambra, what do you say to that?

Sunnick:
See d difference BTW Lagos and the 3ks. The north has now has false numbers

Spot on, same applies to census figures. Everything about Nigeria seem to be built on lies, why wouldn't we be the index of global bad reports.

Why are hospital equipment always very expensive? Congrats to Anambra

In an attempt to spite the SE, APC endorses a "thief" to lead the nation. Rewarding a crime with a leadership role, well done Mr President. Next he will steal the budget and he will be rewarded with a VP position.

Cutting your nose to spite your face

The question is, where was regulatory agency when this was built? They will wait till tragedy strikes and we ll start hearing about rules and laws.

I can't wait to see how the staircase looks like.

An era of draconian laws, see how failures trickle down. Next husbands within the Emirates will suspend their wives for being loyal to Sanusi.

So NBC wants to tell us that since the last 4 yes only AIT has breached this law among all the stations in the country?

Even if they did why throw away the baby with the birth water. This is the kind of braggadocio that NCC manifested against MTN and chased away investors.

NBC go and close Kaakaki as a program and not the entire TV and Radio stations with jobs and contracts lost.

We are edging closer to full dictatorship. If a programme is offensive why not shut down the program, why shut down the entire station?

All those who accused Atiku of being convicted will now go on the defensive, that's how Nairaland house of commotion works.

An ex convict in power?? Time will tell.

So he's no more corrupt because they want him to assist them? Corruption fighters indeed.

alBHAGDADI:
He has never declared himself a Christian, yet you agree with him on anti-tithing. I pity you.

Even devil knows the Buble and that's how he uses it to deceive people.

He must not be a Christian to say the truth, even stones can praise God if need be.

As much as I agree with Freeze on anti tithe, am yet to see where he declared himself a Christian not to talk of born again. He knows the scripture but such knowledge is not enough to save.

Destroyerofyeeb:
Lmao, but you yamreee were willing to play second fiddle to another fulani for the post of vice president just few months ago, so who exactly is the slave here? You flatheadss are pathetic wimps

Yes but not by mocking every other tribe, religion or whatever divide in Nigeria. Everyone should be free to aspire to whatever position without being blocked, mocked or attacked. Now that's the difference because you feel you are more Nigerian than us.

You are free to court the north but don't feel threatened by my every move to aspire or compete for any position.

Destroyerofyeeb:
Well you did until buhari and buratai humbled you chest beating cowards, so cut the crap you get your independence when we your masters say so even ojukwu the runaway leader didn't succeed either .

You think by ass licking the Fulani caliphate you will be considered a good friend unknown to you, you are a mere slave. For now the Fulani control Nigeria politics, continue mocking and attacking the Igbo's for crumbs that fell from Fulani's table.

All these people asking what happened to Biafra forget that IPOB constitute less than 1% of Igbo population. If you become myopic and marginalise the other 99% because of the legitimate demand of 1% then you maybe in for a shocker.

If every Igbo man become sympathetic to IPOB call do you think Nigeria of today can stand it, Nigeria either move forward in justice and equity or remain redundant.

I always enjoy listening to this guy on Smooth FM, very brainy with facts.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
You're wrong!

Federal character has to do with **Appointments** not an elective position.
If you're talking about Federal Commissioners and other government parastatals then you're on the right track.

But trying to use the principle of equity, federal and fairness in an elective post is pure disenfranchisement.

Personally for me, I dislike federal character principle. I did rather go qualified hands, people who will do the job, Meritocracy should be considered before any other thing.

Whether appointed or elected it's all about politics and you said there is no fairness in politics. Why do we insist on rotation of presidency between North and south and between the major religions, isn't it for fairness in politics?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
There's nothing like fairness in politics. So far you're being guided by the law. Nobody should disenfranchise you just because they want to be **Fair**.

No be Osho,, Tinubu or Buhari go vote!
Na members of d Green Chamber.
Last time d other contestant was in Anambra to campaign. After Imo State, Anambra has the highest number of local government in South East. He's targeting Anambra federal legislators (Lower House)

The Nwajiuba of a guy can also take his campaign train to Kano or Sokoto.
Daz how to play politics,, not seating on your balcony dishing out quality cheque book to pressure groups to present your manifesto on your behalf.

Who does that?

The time has gone when political leaders are permitted to speak with both sides of their mouth and expect to be unchallenged.

You either altogether remove fairness and equity from the national political lexicon or stop pretending it exist when it favours a section of the country.

While at it remember to remove federal character and every other hypocritical policies that affect admission tailored to carry the weak North along, after all, there is no fairness in politics.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Power is not given,, go out there take it. That's why you're a politician.
Go out there and slog it out with other contestants.. Stop playing the victim/tribal card.

Yes but fair competition is the key word, you don't mention competition and still insist on party supremacy. How will your son compete in a class where the principal insists his own son must win?

VISTIN:
The politics is supposed to be between the South and The North, but some people want it to be between the North and the South West.

In the North, it's about sharing things among North West, North East and North Central.

In the South, it has to be only the South West. So, let's see how it goes.

If the South cannot come together, with the South West ready to make sacrifices, everything will eventually go to the North.

The language will now be, "if you no eat, scatter it"

This is the best rational explanation. Greed has always been the Achilles of most men, time will tell. This politics of grabbing all will only be for a short term and the table will turn again.

Hitting the ground running, nice move.

busomma:
I hope when push comes shove these clowns will run down to Nigeria to be in the forefront of the battle. Fools.

Upon all your learning you still believe a memorial is akin to war?

Why must push come to shove, haven't you heard of WW1 and 2 memorial?

Now I wish I could sit at home in solidarity.

We shall Never Forget!!!

This govt is a classic example of how not to manage an economy. This is the first time since 1999 that I struggle to remember who is the minister of Finance, that's what happens when a mediocre is in power.

See how we now celebrate sub 2% GDP growth.

WisdomFlakes:
But tiny Bayelsa's GDP is more than Anambra's

Bayelsa GDP was boosted by Oil production. The rest of top 6 apart from FCT are oil producing states. Am impressed by Anambra.

I love statistics, it kills sentiments. I would have loved to see GDP per capita.
