As in, this leader from the North tells everyone in Nigeria to bow down to worship Allah too?

You might as well ask me what I'd do if the moon gets tired of where it is and decides to come live in Nigeria! That's how absurd this is.

I am an atheist, and the only reason I won't abolish all religions in Nigeria is because I can't and I'm not enough of a dictator to try something so absurdly ignorant and stupid. Instead, I am mandating every child in school receive a single copy of the New Testament and the Old Testament and the Quran in one single book.

When we all read each others god books, we'd understand one another better

No, this leader is only asking for Shariah to be implemented for Muslims in the south west, with hisbah police and shariah courts like it is done in the north, would you accept it?

I am not a Muslim so it wouldn't apply to me. Most Muslims in the south wouldn't accept it neither, though a limited form of Sharia exists in the South for those who accepted it.

Sharia takes many forms, so you'd need to be more specific about the aspect of Sharia being introduced, because I doubt most places would accept the cutting off of a petty thief's hand, though I wouldn't mind cutting off the hand of a politician who stole millions.

The type of shariah being practiced in the north presently... would you accept it in south west?

Brendaniel:

No I wouldn't accept it. Most Northerners don't accept it neither. Even many Muslim Iranians are not accepting it, so why would atheist I accept the type of sharia that some are imposing on the North?

But why are we even considering this? Do you think only buda will be yelling "We no go gree! Ali must go!" on the streets of Nigeria when someone tries to replace their Yahweh Jesus Christ with Allah Mohammed or do you just lack faith in us and in yourself!?

I asked you this question for a reason, what I want you to know is, whatever lifestyle you see in any region in Nigeria(political, religious, cultural, educational etc) are mainly products of the ideology that governs their thoughts and thought process.

You said you will reje the Islamic north styled shariah, that's because of the ideology that governs your thoughts and thought process and I believe a lot of your people in south west will also reject it, that's because most of you in the south west share similar ideology and that ideology guides and governs your thoughts and thought processes.

When shariah was introduced in the north, there was overwhelming jubilation among the Muslims because that was what they wantedand their leaders knew, so they gave it to them, that still boils down to the ideology i talked about, they share similar ideologies within themselves.

you really think the Islamic north wants shariah abolished, no, this were the same people who came out to protest against the abolition when the US added it to the list of things the northern Nigeria should do.

Do you also think they want to end the Almajiri system ? No, they don't want it to end, because they believe it is right just like you believe it is wrong, When you hear their state governors spending money sending them to hajj, opening Islamic schools for Koranic studies, the governors are only doing what the people want, to you it is wrong and to them it is right.

That's because you don't reason like them and they don't reason like you, that's why after reading your good idea, i said it may likely not work, not because it is bad but because of the ideology of the people you are introducing it to, they may see it as bad just like you see the shariah they are practicing as bad.


but if you introduce that same idea in your region iy will be celebrated by your people and they will support you because they will see it as good.

What your people want is not what the northerners want.

Brendaniel:

Sir, our lifestyle and politics and religion and culture and education etc in each region are not things in our dna that we are born with and can not change, but are precisely and exactly a product of what we are fed and taught in each region.

It's kind of like a software installed in people in each region is different, and is predominantly Catholicism in the Igbos, Protestantism in the Yorubas and Islam in the Hausas, with crossovers of course since not all in any tribe adopted all what they were fed.

vaxx is my resident expert on tabula rasa, and there's lots of refs on Nairaland, so please research.

First, I do not believe the Almajiri system is wrong. I have studied its implementation and I have seen the results, and I know it does not produce what will positively impact a person's life nor move a nation forward and there are better education systems, and I can very easily provide evidence so that enough people abandon almanjeri and go to school.

I will bribe students with lunch, note.

This is why the president budaatum of Nigeria is starting by changing your installed software (of belief) by reforming the education system of Nigeria so that you may use your own eyes to ask and knock and seek for yourself and understand what you see like buda does, instead of mere believing what you are told to.

My new education syllabus will teach people to reason like me not to believe whatever you are told, but to use your own brain to find answers to what, why, who, when why, how. The intention is to inculcate a new culture in everyone, that they should not be ignorant believing enslaved made from mud and afraid of knowledge almanjeri Adams, but become powerful asking and knocking aad seeking and feeding daily on fruits of trees of knowledge to rule and subdue and multiply blessed images of God.

I'm not describing some magic wand I wave and the lights turn on and almanjeri is abandoned by all Brendaniel, and yes, I do expect opposition and resistance especially when I set up camp for a week in Ramadan in the middle of Sambesi Forest. Don't you worry about my safety. The entire Nigerian Army will be there to protect me and I will screen me live on youtube for Nigerians to look at me there.

If I start with nursery one students (only because it would be as hard as forcing a camel through the eye of your needle to make you abandon your current ideology and consider this new understanding and ideology), I would likely get some before their minds are polluted with the beliefs and ideologies and cultures and religions and politics in their regions. And I have the feeling I can make a generation have a culture that knows we are our own gods. I mean. Just look at you Brendaniel, calling my ideas good already.

But, Brendaniel, I think you underestimate your own powers and abilities. It may seem small, but you made me order the belows. Call them bullets in the gun that will kill the ignorance of almanjeri in Nigeria. I very much appreciate you adding them to my ammo.

That's one of problems I have with you, you hate facing reality, and that is also one problem I have with a lot of your people from the south west, they hate facing reality(I am not trying to sound rude here, just being sincere how I see it) some of the good plans you wrote here have been implemented either in full or part by different civilian government in the past and guess what?

They all failed, do you know why?

They were civil implementations like yours, when I tell people that the best type of government that benefited Nigeria the most( though also corrupt and imperfect ) was the military government, aside from foreign sanctions, they performed far better than most civilian governments in Nigeria.

Not only did they perform, they also united Nigerians better than every civilian government, and the reason is partly what you wrote up there, you want to impart your ideology over other ideologies to bring about development, unity and improvement, only the military government was largely successful in achieving that.

Today it looks like an abomination for an Emeka to be governor of Sokoto or an Abdullahi to be governor of Abia, in the military era it looked very normal, what did that bring to Nigeria?

Acceptance, unity, tolerance, it will even sound very weird to say a certain ethnic group want to take over and destroy your state when the governor of your state is from same ethnic group.

Now you also look at implementation of plans like you wrote up there, under military rule, it is a one way instruction, oppose it and die, so nobody had a choice than to follow the ideologies of whoever was in power, same reason the military government was able ensure terrorism and terrorism beliefs could not grow under their time, even militancy.

Have you ever asked yourself why Shariah was never implemented during the military era?

Because it will never see the light of day, and those who even asked for it may have been jailed or killed, terrorism never existed in Nigeria under the military rule, but immediately the civilian rule came up, shariah request was made, implemented and terrorism has been growing ever since.

I'm not here to promote military rule, I'm just here to let you know that if your plan is to work, then go and join the military or use a military styled government or...(unconventional method), if not you are most likely wasting your time, as long as majority have a say under your government then majority will have their way in any region you are targeting for implementation of your plans.

You think I don't know why I now see the best option for Nigeria is to divide?

What you are trying to do for the northern region is the mistake America makes in most Islamic countries, that's why it looks like they keep failing to have a normal and stable system in those countries, imagine spending over 2 trillion dollars in 20 years and losing maybe thousands of men to make Afghanistan have a stable system and still failed.

The reason is they were not fighting just a war, they were fighting an ideology, what you trying to do here is to fight an ideology using education but sometimes it is not enough, America also did the same in Afghanistan with education.


I will ask you just one question in your next response to give you an insight into how far your reasoning is different from that of the Islamic north.

Please know that I am anti-military rule because I prefer to rule myself and change my ruler every 4 years if the ruler rules bad.

Also note that my ideas have not been tried by anyone, least no atheist Nigerian president has gone to do Ramadan in Sambisa Forest, yet what they did achieved a lot, and my idea might achieve something too.

In fact, it has already achieved quite a lot already just by my writing it I assure you, but will wait till you see it yourself.

You just know that those who wish to destroy my country Nigeria would never see progress made.

If I to adorm my arrogant pant and jacket I would say I am the most unique Nigerian there is, but it would be a lie because every Nigerian is their most unique self.

Since 1999 when democracy returned, which president have you been able to change and replace with your choice?

And lastly, those who wish to destroy Nigeria are the people currently in power now with their supporters and they are doing it quite well, so I don't know if your swear will get to them.

There is a very big difference between dividing and destroying...

Do you see Nnamdi Kanu as a terrorist and does he deserve to be jailed?

Brendaniel:
Do you see Nnamdi Kanu as a terrorist and does he deserve to be jailed?

I have in the past called Nnamdi Kanu a 'terrorist' for calling my country Nigeria a zoo, but he is not bokoharam terrorist, so I have called for his release from what looks to me like illegal detention too.

I do not approve of being called animal.

#FreeNnamdiKanu

Brendaniel:
Since 1999 when democracy returned, which president have you been able to change and replace with your choice?

My choice? Like the last election when my choice was Obidient?

Answer is none. Unless you count my acceptance of Buhari whom I knew will make Nigerians suffer so we open our eyes small.

But you are aware that it's not buda alone who selects the president with my one vote in democratic Nigeria, right? So why my choice when democracy means, everyone's choice?

Brendaniel:
There is a very difference between dividing and destroying...

I can assure you that both will fail in my lifetime. You will live long after buda and Nigeria will not be divided or destroyed even long after you are gone.

At the bolded, so we can liken your experience of having and changing leaders to that of the military since you had no choice during the military and unable to make your choice become president during democracy.

And lastly, maybe you don;t understand me, the ultimate choice for the division of Nigeria will still lie in the hands of the people to decide, my mission is mainly to give them the platform to decide, any region that wants to leave can leave and anyone that wants to stay can stay, through referendums,

If majority people from a region vote to leave, would you still swear for them for leaving based on their choice?

And am I wrong for giving them the option of them deciding if they want to keep being Nigerians or not if you really believe in the democracy you preach?

Brendaniel:

I think you don't understand how democracy works, so let me.

People say they want to contest to be leader. People vote for the one they want and the one with the most votes wins.

Last election I chose Obi. Majority chose Tinubu, so the Obi that I chose lost. I still chose Obi.

No one is giving anyone a referendum on whether they are Nigerian or not, so maybe it's not president buda we need, we need president Brendaniel instead.

Brendaniel:

Brendaniel, we are a constitutional federal representative republic, a system whereby citizens elect officials to make decisions and create laws on their behalf, rather than voting on laws directly.

We do not practice referendum democracy, yet.

Firstly I understand how democracy works,I just wanted to point out and show you the flaws on the kind of democracy Nigeria and most parts of the world practice, when they say majority carries the vote, you believe you have a choice for that statement, true in a sense, but then someone can weaponize it against you and then you find out you cannot change the leaders as you wish just like in a military government, that's one of the flaws of democracy.

When they say majority, they never specified the majority of what kind of people(I would have loved to shed more light on this, but I don't want to make this response too lengthy)


I may not need to be president to give the people a referendum, The people of Nigeria should be given a choice if they want to be Nigerians or not.

More reason why Nigeria needs to have referendum for all regions, it means the people of Nigeria have never being given the option of full choice to decide what they want, it means they have never enjoyed democracy to its fullest, which is what I want to do, even the UN acknowledges the rights to referendum and self determination.

so can we all join hands and allow democracy run its full course to give all Nigerians the opportunity to enjoy democracy in its fullness, because if you are supporting the current system of democracy Nigeria is currently practicing then you are supporting a system that is not giving Nigerians complete choices to make, democracy is about the will of people and when that will is suppressed, it means that democracy is flawed and a bit likened to a military government that also suppresses the will of the people.

Support democracy to run in its fullness if you really believe in it, except you don't.

First know that I am not the only one wishing my choice is the president of Nigeria, and so do not expect my wish to always win at every election.

One great Igbo Man wrote this book every Nigerian should read. In it he says "the hunter has learnt to shoot without missing, so the bird must learn to fly without perching", instead of giving you like you suggest and having no choice.

I should learn to fly better if my democracy is hunting me, basically, since I should actually be the one making sure votes count, and the one who suffers if I don't.

Brendaniel:
When they say majority, they never specified the majority of what kind of people(I would have loved to shed more light on this, but I don't want to make this response too lengthy)

You will need to "shed more light on this", because most don't need light shed to know a person with 2 votes out of four has a majority if one of sat on their lazy ass and refused to vote.

Brendaniel:
I may not need to be president to give the people a referendum, The people of Nigeria should be given a choice if they want to be Nigerians or not.

You must live in a universe where Nigerian people are given the sort of choice you suggest. I live in the alternate universe where Nigerians are not directly given that choice. They may of course elect Reps and Senators who promise to give them that choice so they have it, but I myself have not yet come across a candidate who won a Nigerian election running on a mandate to divide Nigeria. Do tell me if you have.

Brendaniel:
More reason why Nigeria needs to have referendum for all regions, it means the people of Nigeria have never being given the option of full choice to decide what they want,

People are "never being given the option of full choice to decide what they want" anywhere in the world ever, Brendaniel. There's always been a king or an emperor or a god or a government who decides what you should have or not.

But that said, we have democracy, which is a referendum, at least on who rules us, and we ought to be using it don't you think, instead of some people telling some people to boycott elections, which is the same as telling them not to use their own powers to choose.

Brendaniel:
even the UN acknowledges the rights to referendum and self determination.

The UN also emphasizes the preservation of the territorial integrity of member states, you forget to add!

Brendaniel:
so can we all join hands and allow democracy run its full course to give all Nigerians the opportunity to enjoy democracy in its fullness, because if you are supporting the current system of democracy Nigeria is currently practicing...

Just stop already please! You are sounding like a person we cooked a whole cow for but can not even finish a leg.

We had an opportunity to "enjoy democracy in its fullness" at the last election. Almost 100 million Nigerians were registered to vote in this "current system of democracy Nigeria is currently practicing" but less than 30m Nigerians actually went out on poll day to "enjoy democracy in its fullness" that we were not given but fought for but refused to use and that the President Tinubu won by less than a mere 10% of registered voters.

When we fully enjoy the democracy that we already have to its fullness so like at least 50% (I'd rather 90%, note) of registered voters enjoy the current democracy we have and vote, then yes, change the system to referendocracy. I will support you.

Brendaniel:
then you are supporting a system that is not giving Nigerians democracy is about the will of people and when that will is suppressed, it means that democracy is flawed and a bit likened to a military government that also suppresses the will of the people. Support democracy to run in its fullness if you really believe in it, except you don't.

I don't believe that people are given anything by those who lead them, Brendaniel. I understand that every thing a people have gotten from their rulers is what they fought for, often with their blood too. So, I should learn to impose my will better if the rulers suppress my will, Brendaniel, and I do that by promoting to everyone they vote. It is in fact my sole mission leading up to the 2027 Elections to support democracy in Nigeria by advocating you vote.

It will be a long explanation....

Lastly, You really need to face reality about Nigeria, you are trying to fight ideologies, that is the same thing Peter Obi is facing, reason why he might never be president of Nigeria, he is from my region but I don't think I might support him or anyone in 2027, not because he is not good enough but because I know what he is up against, the people he is trying to help hate him for trying to help them...

Sometimes you leave people to learn.

Brendaniel:
You really need to face reality about Nigeria, you are trying to fight ideologies.

This is not true sir.

buda is not fighting anyone's ideologies. buda is asking you and everyone else to fight your own ideologies by yourselves.

Oftentimes, one must teach people so they may learn.

Remember when I told you Tinubu's policies were going to fail and you argued that, good policies was all the country needed, today what do you rate Tinubu's policies success?

When you keep teaching and they refuse to learn, what do you do?

No, I don't remember when you told me "Tinubu's policies were going to fail and you argued that, good policies was all the country needed". Post a link to remind me please.

I do not agree that Tinubu's policy to remove fuel subsidy and free float Naira have failed, and no indice shows Tinubu's policies have failed yet, though you are welcome to provide me with evidence of his failure.

If I keep teaching you and you refuse to learn I will first consider that I might be teaching you the wrong way and will therefore adopt various other teaching methods to try to get past your learning barriers. But if you continue to refuse to learn, I will eventually decide not to waste my precious time trying to teach you who refuses to learn and will give up teaching you who refuses to learn and go and teach those who are willing to learn since not only 'refusing to learn you' exists.

Your second paragraph is the just showed it here , for your third paragraph, don't you think the Islamic north has been given so much opportunities on that for over 60 years and refused to learn?

Thankfully, not all Igbos think or reason or want what you do.

If, as you say, "Islamic north has been given so much opportunities on that for over 60 years and refused to learn", then the teachers should first consider themselves bad teachers and learn to teach better before blaming the student for the teacher's inability to teach the student.

Once the teacher considers that it is they the teacher, who must learn to teach better, the student might likely learn in six years what you couldn't teach it in 60.

Do know that many Igbo people are my fellow Nigerian peoples too, and that though tribe and tongue may differ we are one Nigerian family.

Majority do , even our kings, if not Nnamdi Kanu would not have been respected in Igbo land, he has far greater influence than even Peter Obi because of that very reason of wanting to have our own country, you are not Igbo, let Nnamdi Kanu give an instruction and let Obi do the same and see who the Igbos will follow, that's because Igbos believe more and want to have their own country than being called Nigerians.

So are you saying your people are bad teachers, I want to believe they have also taught the north in the past how to be better...

We are not one, we don't reason alike, if we were one we wouldn't even be having this conversation, neither would the Igbos be clamoring for Biafra, in all sincerity, your people made me give up on the unity of Nigeria, I used to be a very strong advocate of one Nigeria till Tinubu and Buhari decided to show the Igbos the true colors of their religion and tribes.

We used to be far more who did not want Biafra, but all that started flipping very fast the moment these 2 guys came on board, even when Nnamdi Kanu started, I didn't like him, I was a strong advocate against him till the people I joined to fight him (your people and the north) started fighting me for demanding for good governance in the very Nigeria I was rejecting Biafra for.

It became clear, I saw why Nigeria may never work in black and white under Buhari and Tinubu's governance.

It is nit about Buhari and Tinubu, it is about the people behind them(their people) from their regions and religion...

And that's how Nnamdi kanu got a majority of the Igbos giving him support, your people and the Islamic north caused it...

This was me in 2016, I wrote that fictional story from my head to celebrate the 2016 independence day, so don't think I have always been like this, no, just like many other Igbos supporting the creation of Biafra today, we were once very patriotic to Nigeria...

Then I also searched for another Patriotic message written by another Nigerian just to support the love and patriotism for other Nigerians to have for Nigeria to celebrate the independence day, that was how much I loved Nigeria, the guy who wrote the second article happens to also be Igbo, but I won't be surprised to see him today supporting Biafra instead of Nigeria.

Some of you don;t just know the damage Buhari and Tinubu's presidential ambitions have done to Nigeria, that's why I said even if Peter Obi becomes president today, I will still seek to have a separate country , because it is not about presidency, it is about the people I am sharing country with( the regions)

budaatum:
Sir, our lifestyle and politics and religion and culture and education etc in each region are not things in our dna that we are born with and can not change, but are precisely and exactly a product of what we are fed and taught in each region.

It's kind of like a software installed in people in each region is different, and is predominantly Catholicism in the Igbos, Protestantism in the Yorubas and Islam in the Hausas, with crossovers of course since not all in any tribe adopted all what they were fed.

vaxx is my resident expert on tabula rasa, and there's lots of refs on Nairaland, so please research.



First, I do not believe the Almajiri system is wrong. I have studied its implementation and I have seen the results, and I know it does not produce what will positively impact a person's life nor move a nation forward and there are better education systems, and I can very easily provide evidence so that enough people abandon almanjeri and go to school.

I will bribe students with lunch, note.



This is why the president budaatum of Nigeria is starting by changing your installed software (of belief) by reforming the education system of Nigeria so that you may use your own eyes to ask and knock and seek for yourself and understand what you see like buda does, instead of mere believing what you are told to.

My new education syllabus will teach people to reason like me not to believe whatever you are told, but to use your own brain to find answers to what, why, who, when why, how. The intention is to inculcate a new culture in everyone, that they should not be ignorant believing enslaved made from mud and afraid of knowledge almanjeri Adams, but become powerful asking and knocking aad seeking and feeding daily on fruits of trees of knowledge to rule and subdue and multiply blessed images of God.

I'm not describing some magic wand I wave and the lights turn on and almanjeri is abandoned by all Brendaniel, and yes, I do expect opposition and resistance especially when I set up camp for a week in Ramadan in the middle of Sambesi Forest. Don't you worry about my safety. The entire Nigerian Army will be there to protect me and I will screen me live on youtube for Nigerians to look at me there.

If I start with nursery one students (only because it would be as hard as forcing a camel through the eye of your needle to make you abandon your current ideology and consider this new understanding and ideology), I would likely get some before their minds are polluted with the beliefs and ideologies and cultures and religions and politics in their regions. And I have the feeling I can make a generation have a culture that knows we are our own gods. I mean. Just look at you Brendaniel, calling my ideas good already.

But, Brendaniel, I think you underestimate your own powers and abilities. It may seem small, but you made me order the belows. Call them bullets in the gun that will kill the ignorance of almanjeri in Nigeria. I very much appreciate you adding them to my ammo.

You are not being realistic. I read where you said you would bribe almajiri with free lunch so they could attend school. It's not in their character, so it will fail. What they want is exactly what they have now. I've been to the north and I've seen clearly that they will not change. The only thing that can make Nigeria work is for the north to be decoupled from the south. Ibo and Yorubas insult each other die, but intermarriage among the two is farrrrrrrrrr higher than intermarriage between either of the two and northerners.

Before one teaches, Brendaniel, one must first learn about teaching, and the nature of humans, and how we learn, and how to teach, etc etc etc, and what to teach why, but the fact you seem to think character can not be changed amuses me considering your own character changed from pro Nigeria to anti.

Free breakfast, free lunch, free books, free uniforms, free shoes, free transport money if they can not get to school starting from age 4-5 all the way to 18, insha'Allah.

First year will teach them ali ba ta sa and a b c and the alphabet of your own language and 1 2 3 4 and plus and minus and multiply and divide and what, why, when, where, who, and how. I will force it into their character at the early stage before their tabula stops to rasa and they will not depart from it.

Please know that you did ask me to be unrealistic when you asked me what buda would do if buda was president buda, when in the current reality no one has elected buda, and nor has buda campaigned to be president, realistically.

I'm not thew one who replied you as predictor3, that's another user also telling you that you are not being realistic as I also told you earlier, you don't like being realistic, you better reply the person as not being me, because that is not me, you may need to retype another message for the person, as I didn't bother reading past the second line of your message, as I became aware you missed the person who mentioned you...

I'm Yoruba like you, except you are not Yoruba. I'm not Brendaniel.
Why are you mixing up the two?

You must please forgive me Predictor3, I am so very sorry for mixing you with Brendaniel. It's just that you argue pretty the same argument. Still forgive me. i will read some again and respond where necessary.

As for my Yoruba ness. budaatum is from the Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun in Osun State in the Yoruba land in the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Africa.

Predictor3, my previous stands. Just replace Brendaniel with you and go read our conversation from the beginning and you'd be up to speed.

I was asked to unrealistically assume I was president buda of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, so telling me I am being unrealistic is like telling me my skin is brown.

And p.s. I don't want to marry anyone. I just teach people to use the brain in their head. The choice of learning however, is entirely yours. Or rather, their's.
