Use Abia state as a reference for good leadership.
But rather you guys prefer funny characters. Religion and tribalism is the root cause of hatred towards Peter Obi, that's just the simple truth.
What day did Abia started getting good leaders? Where were you when Ikpeazu, Orji Uzo and Theodore Orji ruined the state?

This is a very APC-like defence. After failing Nigeria for 10 years, you argue that no one can do a better job than Tinubu and Buhari. The point here is that you (The APC) have failed. And instead of pretending that all the other politicians are the same, let us, as responsible people, remove the leaders failing us and give way to the next.

When your leaders know that they can be held accountable, they will take notice. But when people like you excuse and defend them by asking questions like the one you have above, they will be relaxed in their corruption and bad rule.

Responsible nigerians cant afford to excuse bad leadership. Let's flush them out, try the next set, and keep flushing until we get it right.
I responded to you simply because you said we should give new people a chance. Instead of mentioning the new people you have in mind, you started spewing gibberish.

Amaechi was minister for 8 years under the 10 years of APC you are angry about. Malami was the Attorney General for 8 years under same APC. Atiku was Vice President for 8 years and was also a founding member of APC. Tambuwal was APC governor for 4 years and PDP governor for another 4 years. Peter Obi was governor for 8 years and he moved poverty from 25% to 53.8% in Anambra State.

So I ask again, who are the new people you’re proposing? Leave the pep talk and mention just three of them.

It's a seasonal phenomenal. I remembered the time Senegalese attire was common in Nigeria, particularly in the Northern States.

Is there anything wrong with what he said about bad leaders? Do we have good leaders? Is bad government not the main challenge of Nigeria from Independence to date? Why are you guys all behaving like zombies? May the type of leaders in Nigeria be your portion in your home, community, work place in Jesus Mighty name we pray Amen! Any man who loves the nose of a dog SHALL have it for dinner

They speak English. They speak French. The west English and Asian and middle eastern clothes. They drive cars by foreigners. They attend schools abroad. Speak American English. They were colonized by foreigners.

These people something dey worry them. Meanwhile their women love Nigerian men too much.

At the end of the day, you couldn’t come up with the names of the new people you want us to put in power simply because there are no new people among the serious contenders. Deed down, you know there is no better option among the people you’re supporting. You just want the person you hate out of power and nothing else.

With those huge foreheads, they truly need Nigerian gele to soften their looks. I am sure these olodos won't mind white wedding gowns tho.

Congolese, Kenyans, Ethiopians, Rwandans, etc are Up in Arms Over Their People Wearing NIGERIAN ATTIRE for their Weddings!

The new trend among Africans now, including diaspora Africans of the Caribbean and the USA, is to don NIGERIAN TRADITIONAL OUTFITS for their weddings, naming ceremonies, birthdays, etc.

Kenyan women are now ordering Aso Ebi and Gele for their weddings.

Same as Congolese, Ugandan, Tanzanian women, etc etc.

And some of their people are saying ''Enough is Enough. Where is our own culture? Nigeria will not swallow all of us in this Africa!''

I've just watched that video right ABOVE.

FIRST off, I find the conversational style of this so-called Nigerian female YouTuber talking in that video to be highly irritating. She shouldn't be gloating and grinning all over the place making it look like it's a very big deal for a few Congolese, Kenyans, etc, to be appropriating some Yoruba and/or Nigerian ethnic wears and designs. Some African-Americans have ALWAYS used Ghananian Kente, Agbada, Aso-Oke, Adire, and other African prints and designs in their traditional "jumping the broom" wedding ceremonies and that's understandable because of the negative effects of plantation slavery that affected the African cultures in those deported on slave ships to the Americas.


Second, the 4th young lady of Yoruba (Nigerian-British) descent who spoke last with a British accent in the video ABOVE made the MOST SENSE in support of the FACT that if you're from any African ethnic culture, then project your ethnic wedding dressings to the world instead of wearing another ethnic group's cultural design and it enables others worldwide to appreciate you. There's NO doubt that historically, Yoruba, Itsekiri, Edo, Hausa, etc, wedding and other ceremonial attires can make people look classy and nicely put together, BUT what the Nigerian lady who spoke last is brilliantly saying here is that the individual ethnic cultures or identities of the bride and groom MUST be projected strictly on WEDDING days instead of appropriating other ethnic cultures from Nigeria or any other country.

I'm CLEARLY on the same page with that 4th female speaker in the video who is incidentally of British-Nigerian descent.

I don't owe you that; in fact, it would have been dumb for me to start mentioning names to you unless you are not a Nigerian. But you are right about something, though. I want the evil men that have destroyed the country out of power, but you want them to remain thats the difference between you and me. And yes, I hate them for destroying this country.

Why looking forward! African language has ever been taught in Institutions in Africa and some institutions in the world since ages... It's not even a new thing......
But we don't use our mother tongues as our primary language of instruction in our schools, do we?
When you look at the first and second world countries and see which language they use in teaching in their schools and compare to how we do it in the third world, you'll realize why we're where we are today, in terms of technological advancement.

Nigeria is a great country if not corrupt wicked bad people appointed as leaders...
You're almost right, except the fact that only accused only the leaders of wickedness. Have you tried empowering an average Nigerian and he acted differently than the leaders? The earlier we realized our problem is societal, not just leadership, we'll get there.

If you think Nigeria does not have leadership problems then shame on you
8 of 10 Nigerians will abuse their office no matter how little the power they wield is. Prove me wrong!
It's been 65 years and all the leaders are bad but everyone else amongst whom the leaders emerge are saints. Una never ready for this country.
I'm very sure malami has once upon a time criticized the leaders and call them bad, but e reach him turn, he almost stole the country back to stone age. Let's keep blaming the convenient people, until it's your turn and you do worse then the cycle continues.

But they have been comfortably wearing European white gowns to church all these while..

Shouldn't you all be happy that it's getting closer home..

Why the hate, dear fellow Africans (women!)..🤔🤔

Nigeria would be the first to liberate itself completely from the white folks.. we have done it with movies, we did in Music, now dressing.. next would be football..
We Africans are our worst enemies. Someone is getting married and decides to dress in a particular way, that's is his personal decision. There was a time that people were wearing an attire called "Senegalese" in Nigeria, and nobody made a fuss about it

As long as the dress is not provocative and it looks beautiful, and they didn't ask you to pay for it, why are you are meddlesome interloper.

Like you said, the dress she is wearing is not Congolese, it's European. If Africans decides to embrace our culture, how is that a bad thing
