[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=729980.msg8879039#msg8879039 date=1312800343]If na by that one,i'm already an indigene of ogun,Abuja,lagos,and benin,my plan is to become a son of the soil in core ijawland of bayelsa where i can get my own direct share of ND oil through bunkering and amnesty and,also imo state where my governorship ambition lies.[/quote]Carry on. Joke apart, Nigeria should be a country when one can aspire to be what he wants to be whenever without having his/her motive call into question. Enough of this tribal stuff. Can we just get along, please! |
This is a bold move by GEJ; a nice way to eliminate the scourge of tribalism from Nigeria. Hausa and Yoruba man, who long to be governors in Igboland, here is your chance! Likewise Igboman who wants to rule Lagos and Kano, the path is getting clearer. For Nigeria to move forward, tribalism must end. Kudo FG. |
koruji:lol, unfortunately sir, I dont eat apu, and I not also hungry. To the issue at hand. I understand the use of analogy, but in this case the analogy you presented is faulty ab initio. I strongly disagree that bad things happen (only) when you travel at night. I have traveled at Night at various times, nothing bad happened to me. This situation is that brigands taken over a section of the road. The temporary measure here should not suspension of night travel, rather it should be a show of force! FG should flood the area with security agents (patrols, checkpoints, and what have you). Traveling at night has alot of economic; suspending it for any reason is out of the question. And like I said, how do you enforce it? With the same security agent who should rather be going after the bad guys? |
koruji:My friend go drink garri, you are obviously hungry. ![]() Traveling at night can never be equated with walking on damaged legs (which kain analogy be dat?) Nigerians have been traveling at night for ages. The authorities should remove whatever obstacle (robbers and brigands) that are obstructing free movement of people - whether day or night. Temporary suspension is not a solution, not even in the short term. And it is not even enforceable to begin with. |
Mobinga:Madam please speak for yourself; we don't suffer inferiority complex. By the way are you Yoruba, or worse still ghanaian? ![]() |
koruji:No sir, it is not an idiotic proposal, it rather a VERY IDIOTIC proposal; stemming from paucity of progressive ideas from a so-called progressive party. The analogy you gave is very misleading. Even those without legs find ways to move around let alone those with just broken legs. What is the use of walking aid, especially if it is critical that you move around. How about wheel chairs? Let us try another analogy here. When MEND were busy blowing up pipelines, why didn't FG suspend temporarily, the exportation of crude oil? A credible answer to that will show you that ACN suggestion is an ill thought, knee jerk reaction! It is not implementable! |
Auchi monarch urges FG to declare erosion site disaster area The Otaru of Auchi Kingdom in Edo State, Alhaji Aileru Momoh, has asked the Federal Government to declare Auchi, the headquarters of Etsako West Local Government in Edo North, a disaster area.http://www.punchontheweb.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art201108051785315 |
^^^^ See what tribalism can cause. Ghanaian having a dig at you guys, and all could muster was feeble rebuttal. I didn't see any long speech about history of Ghana, and differences in their demography, anthropology, and hydroponics, and what have you! Na wa ooo. Where are the intelligentsia. You guys fall my hand paaaaaaa (to borrow from waffi and akan) I laugh in Twi. ![]() |
^^^ Even that would not cause a split! ![]() |
^^^ Are you not a Nigerian, you should be able to answer that question. Left to me I will say - cost! Real estate development is and expensive venture! |
odumchi:I hope you will give us a summary when you are done. ![]() |
feelamong:What does this mean? Who will run the bridge banks? Same staff or ad hoc staff, from where? It's doesn't sound like they are sealing the banks or relinquishing staff of the duties. Can someone clarify please. |
JAkpayen:Not funny, some folks just lost their jobs! ![]() |
^^ They have not reversed 13% for a long time. It would rather be difficult to agree to it, than to reverse it. |
@ Topic, I think Jonathan will generally acquiesce to constitutional conference rather than SNC. Reason being that the North will do everything (threat, blackmail, sabotage) to prevent an SNC. Constitutional conference would be seen as a middle ground. |
[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=728281.msg8859689#msg8859689 date=1312537784]Regarding the elephant in the room (resource control), I made this suggestion earlier that I think most would find agreeable: Would anyone oppose this? It is only a small change over each of the 20 years. Which should give the states/regions plenty of room to generate additional revenue. You could also tweak it to make it eventually 100% resource control (say over 30 or 40 years). The main point is the idea, not the exact #s used.[/quote]50% over 10 years, and 100% over 20 years with tax paid to the FG would be more like it. The idea of resource control is at the heart of true federalism. |
^^^ Anyone can use the data for whatever purpose they like. It is not compulsory to vote by the way. Let the guy be! |
9jaganja:You dare mention ACN and paucity of thinking faculty in the same breath? Something many have tactically avoided in this thread? Wait for Gbawe, he is coming to kick your a$$. ![]() |
@ topic, Thank you fasola; You are the man, in fact ACN is the best O jare. Let me call my brother to start coming down to Lagos, settling down is now easier! ![]() |
^^^^ No qualms, it's a human weakness. I understand! ![]() |
^^^^ lol, actually when they make sense by your standard, and judgement; or when there is convergence of interest. ![]() |
I agree! A good railway system, efficient inland water ways system, better utilisation of PH, Calabar port, and Onitsha port, and standardisation of all international airports (old and news) is the most comprehensive way of decongesting Lagos road, and Lagos itself! |
@ Gbawe, and Ekt_bear, It's a bit odd that we actually agreed on something for a change. ![]() I am still suspicious of you both. Just kidding! ![]() |
kettykin:I disagree with the bolded statement. Tribes don't commit these dastard acts; individuals (gangs) do. Sometimes the composition of the gang can include individuals from various ethnic groups. The fact that this particular incident happened Okene-Lokoja does not mean that it is carried out or condoned by people (or tribes) within that area. |
yemmight:Simply because there is nothing to defend against! Would you rather he pick him as minster of Works, or Finance, or Education? Let's face it, this is politics. In politics whether you like it or not, you have to settle some power brokers, and make some compromise. Putting the powerful thief in that position is good enough to get him out of the way! |
Dede1:Ileke idi, sometimes you should try pretending to be intelligent without lowering your guard on tribalism. This post clearly mark you out as inanely tribalistic. @ topic, Good one by Innoson and another plus for Nigeria. kettykin:+100 The bolded make a lot of sense! |
