I don't think so sha...

What's the population of Nigerians in the formalized labour space...let's start from there.

Bro I am tired
In the whole of Nigeria na this uzoho we get as keeper
The whole team looks disjointed with the array of stars

raumdeuter:


The truth is that in the North they are explicitly violent and any skirmish they will attack the foreigners. That will already tell you what you need to know about involving in their politics. Ordinary Danish cartoon, you don dey collect, Israel Palestine foreigners don dey collect, Miss world foreigners don dey collect. They never make you comfortable even if you are 5th generation in their land to nurse the idea of contesting

If you are already getting attacks from issues that had nothing to do with you or your stay there, will you now start thinking of governing in those lands?

In the West there is more tolerance that is why people get comfortable and start nursing the idea of contesting
That is why the mantra you hear is that "See the people who claim to be accommodating cannot let us contest and rule in their domain", Others don't care about claiming to be accommodating and they make that clear from day 1 and every other day
Many places in Nigeria the indigenes will always remind you of where you are from in your everyday life in not so subtle ways

izzou:


I hope you are not interpreting the entire north for Muslims

There is still Kaduna, Parts of Kano, Plateau, Adamawa, etc that are not radical like the Muslims.

And that is why i said it is more of a foreigners believing that they have earned the right to represent themselves, rather than the hosts thinking they are doing them a favour

If Nigerians in Texas grow to a large extent and start contesting for elective positions, would you say Texas people are now tolerant, or you have become large enough to earn a place on the table?

If there are 30 Igbos on my street, and there are 3 Yorubas, are you saying the 3 are tolerant if one Igbo decides to contest for Street chairman?

This thing is both ways, but they always look at it one sided here

raumdeuter:


I am talking of the core North like Kano Katsina Sokoto Bauchi etc

Foreigners believing they have earned the right depends on how the host body language is to you. You will find it easier to say you want to contest in USA and Australia than in Say Saudi or South African as a foreigner

Your example on the street the 30 Ibos will think of contesting because the environment is calm for them and not hostile. In places like Kano even if you are 30, and you want to contest or interfere in the political affairs its your own village people and fellow Ibos that will warn you that don't cause problems for the rest of us

For example during my NYSC we could know those parts barely tolerated us and maybe because we have FG protection
as corpers routinely our girls got stoned by small kids while adults looked on because they didn't cover their hair, Our LGA chairman will say he can only deal with (what name do you call the head of corpers in an LG) who is either moslem Northerner if you dont have in your set then anyone who can speak Hausa.

So it wasn't a shock when I heard in 2011, that the LGA was one of those places where Corpers were killed during Buhari vs Jonathan elections

Those places you mentioned too, they might not be Moslems they are also very radical, Its in Benue wey Idoma no fit rule as State governor imagine what will happen to Ibo contesting for Rep or LG chirman

I will say West is where they take politics lightly he most, in some places it is literal life and death

izzou:


Cost of running governor's office = 2 billion.

And everybody dey watch nonsense match?

izzou:


If the ratio of Igbos to Tivs are higher in that constituency, how will the Tiv win if we assume that everybody votes according to his tribe?

Amigoss:


Make Doherty and his supporters occupy govt house in alausa or marina na,His supporters are not from Anambra and will not burn down Lagos

He is the opposition done the right way and the new bride of agbado boys,you wan make dem talk say headless mob collect him shine and glory?

I agree with you on this one sha.

If it was David that released this, na another thing we go dey see..

Suddenly the same Doherty that was on the ballot and was skipped, is now the right man for Lagos.

raumdeuter:


If in Benue an Idoma who is a native cannot contest or win na foreigner wan win

Take last week elections in Kogi for example eey every tribe hold their side. Imagine one Emeka wan come contest..

izzou:


I am not talking about a governorship election

I'm talking about local ones, even as small as market chairmen.

Ibime:


Who dey compare with you? We are talking about why you don't own Opobo Kingdom which was established around 150 years ago when Okonkwo was still storing yams as sign of wealth. A Kingdom so wealthy, it was exporting palm oil directly to Liverpool, had emissaries visiting Queen Victoria, trained it's sons in England and sent soldiers to Ghana to assist the British in the Ashanti war. That access to the sea is what gave us 300 years advantage over the Igbo to establish wealthy Kingdoms that you are trying to claim now because we brought tens of thousands of Igbo slaves to help handle the volume of trade we were doing, and in so doing influenced our language

Even as of today, what is there to show off in 2023? Monday sit at home?

raumdeuter:

Foreigners believing they have earned the right depends on how the host body language is to you. You will find it easier to say you want to contest in USA and Australia than in Say Saudi or South African as a foreigner. For example an immigrant can dress how he likes wear hijab practice his culture and even take a speaker to shout death to America on the streets with minimal repercussions, can you try that in say Saudi wear what you want, practice your religion freely and shout death to Saudi.

When we point examples of countries with immigrants holding posts its usually the same UK, US Australia France its rarely Uzbekistan Qatar, Iran Colombia Hungary

If you dey Ibo community for Saudi or South Africa and say you wan contest na your people go first warn you not to put them in trouble

Ibime:


Nwaotam masquerade is from Bonny

Ndoki and Bonny are from the same root. Ndoki are Ijaws who migrated upward and joined the Igbos while their Bonny brothers settled in Finima

Opobo is just a subgroup of Bonny who split out under Jaja of Opobo during the Bonny civil war and chased the Ibeno off their land to found what we now call Opobo

vanitybutiwanti:
I pray a civil war happens in Nigeria, let's see how they will convince the so called igbo tribes in Rivers to identify with them.

vanitybutiwanti:
nope, they didn't not chase the ibenos, an annual ceremony is held every year in opubo to appreciate Andoni for letting them settle in that area

Taguchi:


Foolish talk from an immature keyboard warrior

Amoto94:

The former governor of Bauchi between 2015-2019 is an Ebiraman, Shekarau two-time governor of Kano was neither a Hausa or Fulani he won against Kwankwaso a son of the soil in 2003 and completed his two terms.

swiz123:
Calling for civil war just to teach one tribe a lesson.
Not all children are a blessing to their parents, some are actually a curse. No one should be this stupid when they are not mentally handicapped.

vanitybutiwanti:
let's fight the war so we can all rest, they won't let us rest because one of their own is not President, I wonder if they'll still clamour for an Igbo presidency or secession if a Rivers man from ikwerre, Etche, opobo or Okrika is President, since they claim people from some of those places are igbo

izzou:


That's how you even know a very little, confused child.

Nigeria will be fighting a civil war, and the kid thinks he will be at home typing and updating on Nairaland.

raumdeuter:


Let's gather all those who desire this war and give them a location to meet up and settle scores while we cheer them with our likes and shares

Only them o, not involve other people cos for every war na innocent people dey suffer am pass

Hope say you sabi fight sha. No be to call for war and expect others to fight it for you sha.

OasisX:


......few days ago, we were begging ibime, afrodoc2, raumdeuter and GloriousGbola to furnish us with history of Naija.

Small peep into the history from southern part don turn violence already. LOL!

We ain't ready to know or accept the truth.

liveLongNprospa:


Yup.. Turning 30😁.

Thanks man😎

vanitybutiwanti:
I'm not advocating for war to teach anybody a lesson, one group of people won't allow other people live in peace, they are everywhere trying to annex places that doesn't belong to them historically, you don't see edos trying to annex or claim some parts of bayelsa, Rivers and Delta state, even though some ethnic nationality from those state migrated from edo, you don't see people from other part of the country claiming to be the richest sub group, you claim to be the richest yet you criticize any government in power and disturb our cyber spaces, if you were truly rich, you'll be insulated from the high cost of living in Nigeria, just today I read funshos open letter on lagos expenditure, go to twitter, everyone regardless of their tribal affiliation condemned sanwo olu, still on Twitter, we read an open letter about ottis expenditure since he officially took up the seat as governor, you guys need to say how those group of people rose up in defense of otti, same otti is doing a 6km road for 30B, you should see different hare brained reasons justifying the construction of a 6km road for that sum, the hypocrisy is mind boggling, its becoming irritating, same way they called out a man couple of years ago on the Internet for his inepitude but today he's Jesus christ.

You claim all Territory belongs to you, you know everyone's history, can you tell us where you originated from.
