This post makes no sense. We shouldn't blame the President for not addressing insecurity?

PolyGamous:
Well, I really don’t want us to drag this further since the conversation isn’t syncing.

People knows what they want, then why should we complain after voting for someone? Why do we need a politician to campaign heavily and often feel convinced?

What I believe education does is changing ideology, education not literacy, I think that is needed to be emphasized. An educated person doesn’t need to be told that his or her is in his hands, and by keeping his or environment clean there will be reduction in exposure to dangerous situations for their health. And about nations coming together, it wasn’t just because they have same ideology and you can be threatened if you choose to pull out of it “case of the Sahel, and Canada at the moment”, they understand the power of working together, and also to be under an umbrella of big power…

Like I said, selfish interests was what calls for pulling out of the nation, if you know you know.. with state policing, I believe we are almost getting to the point of autonomous state. No state governor selection is been influenced by outside state except the people of the state don’t know what they want.

And since you decide not to acknowledge how voting power has affected decisions of politicians in the past, then explain to me why a northern candidate must always be on every party’s candidate?

Brendaniel:
This is the Nigeria of some people dreams, if you a Tinubu supporter, this is what you want for Nigeria

May she be found safe and returned on time



Will you stop this nonsense narrative, So Tinubu who is the commander in chief of the armed forces should sit idle while his armed forces play evil with their jobs?

Listen to yourself, did any governor employ the DPO, it was Tinubu that employed him, Tinubu is his commander chief, What good example is Tinubu showing to that DPO as his commander in chief?

What exactly did you people support Tinubu to become president for? To just bear the title without the responsibilities?

Like leader like follower, it is you people who put Tinubu there that are like the DPO, because the DPO is a reflection of the leader he follows and a reflection of the supporters supporting that leader

Thundafireseun:
I saw a video online where some Fulani boys in the bush allege that a DPO kept them in the Bush to kid-nap people and share ransom with him (DPO)….

We are our own problem but a lot of people are so quick to blame the President for everything that happened in their backyard….Especially when they have Governors in their backyard

Brendaniel:
Education does not always change ideologies, sometimes it only amplifies it, that's why you can a professor who is a terrorist and even uses his education for terrorist advancement.

secondly, people know what they want based on ideology, reason why people vote the way they vote in Nigeria, that's why I asked you the question about a professor and an Almajiri choosing the same choice of candidate of a Buhari over an Adesina, and you have refused to answer why.

The answer is ideology, they chose him strictly because of Islamic ideology, so education that time doesn't count, it becomes useless at that point, that is point I am making here.

That is why you can see a professor advocating for the beheading of someone for blasphemy,(ideology) overrides education.

Selfish interest is not what calls for cessation, just take a look at Nigeria, a region rejected a president who destroyed a country for 8 years, they rejected him twice, they also rejected another one currently destroying the country, but yet they also have to go through the challenges of the regions that voted such destruction, it is clear enough.

What each region wants is not the same, I was not secessionist till I saw clearly why Nigeria may never make progress, Ideological conflict, no common goal, the regional wants are like word and opposite.

I gave up on the unity of Nigeria, mind you as an Igbo man I supported Buhari in 2015, at the time I felt he was genuine, only to find out he was all about ideological supremacy, both him and his people, so I fought against his second term.

I just wanted a country that works...

PolyGamous:
Lol, your point is actually getting clearer.

Religion and your so called ideology isn’t the only reason why people vote, it’s not disputed that religious factor plays it roles!!

This region you are claiming also votes based on the reason why the ones that voted Buhari did!!

You can’t beat down the fact that every region is guilty of this ideology, I hate to see politics that way but you driving it there makes it funny, and I get why you are disputing the education factor. Atiku that this region in question votes for made it clear that he stands with the silly sharia law, so how does that made him different from Buhari? I guess your answer will be because he’s got someone from the region with him which beat back to the ideology that you are referring to..

You see, if you remove the factor of Education from Nigeria system, then every region have this ideology. And the other thing, people don’t just vote because they know what they want, if they vote because of what they want as you claim then no one is guilty of the ideology and no government should be blamed, but people vote based on manifesto, which is the reason why people get disappointed when the candidate they vote for turn around…

And going back to the proof, this region that want to go could have proven it not by making their region unrest to the extent even the people that want to develop it couldn’t stay! You think if the region have a state as strong as Lagos economically, you think they wouldn’t have been seen beyond minority? They have the chance to develop more than other regions, but they couldn’t proof it..

Tflex01:
I've been hearing kidnapping along that route since forever. Do you think kidnapping along that route will stop as soon as Peter Obi becomes president??

Lol playing politics with unfortunate situations like this is too dangerous but I know you won't understand.

Goonnik:
keep wailing Nd writing shiii pained man.

internationalman:
Bro stop debating with these people. They pretend like they are not supporting APC or not tribalistic Yorubas by making neutral comments that only discerning mind can figure out where their loyalty and support truly lies through that same comment. A perfect example of such people is that @Nairaland1 guy that's always yapping about how Nigerians are not paying enough taxes..


Nigeria should be divided to actually see true progress. We are not the same people.

I think Nigeria is the only country in the world with equal or almost the same numbers of Christian and Muslim population. Look at every other countries in the world, there's usually very higher number of citizens with the same ideologies (religion, education, ethnicity, etc) than different ideologies.

Brendaniel:
You seem to have a problem with understanding, when I use the word ideology, you seem not to get what I mean, you think I am accusing certain regions of having ideologies?

No, I said all regions have ideologies and these ideologies are different, and it is what influences their choice when voting, I have explained this over and over, you seem to have a problem with understanding...

That's why I said the ideologies causes each region to want something different from other regions, reason why I said the country should split, so that each region can have their leaders specifically for what they want based on their ideologies...

If the Islamic north says they want a Sheik instead of an economist, the can go ahead and vote him and will not have any business with an Igbo man who wants an economist and vice versa for other regions too...

I have studied Nigeria, we don't want the same thing, it is not about education, it is mainly about culture and religion, That is why the country is the way it is today, what Yorubas want is not what Igbos want and so on...

If you feel your ideology is better, go and use it for you and your people only in your own country, let others do the same in their own countries, because Buhari and Tinubu's presidency has mainly being about the imposition of 2 regional and religious ideologies on the other ideologies, that's mainly why the country is the way it is today.

There will be conflict and that is the Nigeria you are seeing today...

PolyGamous:
If you feel I don’t understand you, fine.

What I understand is, every region ideology centered around having someone from their region at the upper level which is what led to regional selection “that didn’t start with Buhari and Tinubu btw”. It’s been south and north from the beginning of democracy. Either NW, NC, NE, it’s north, if it’s SW, SE, or SS na south.

And like I said earlier, if you think education is not enough to let people think beyond those ideology of being emotionally attached to politicians because of either religion or tribe, knowing fully well they are not capable of moving the country forward, and that of going against any policy made by politicians to make the nation move forward, because they are not your candidate you voted for, then I rest my case boss.

jidesp:
Some of you just think because you have mouth. You can just open it and say what comes to your head.

Pray make any police Officer no see this your comment. Them go invite you come show them the video wey u see where the Fulani boys talk.

Brendaniel:
It is not because of the candidate of my choice, let me tell you why I'm being specific with Buhari and Tinubu's presidency.

Firstly I don't see most politicians in Nigeria as saints and that includes Obi.

But this is where as a human being you apply logic and rational reasoning, if you are presented with a choice of not so good items, won't you pick the best among the not so good?

but when you pick the worst among them, then there must be something that is overriding logic and rational thinking, and that is ideology and I will explain.

I will use the north and south west as examples, because they were the ones who opened my eyes to really understand this ideology of a thing.

Remember I said I an not counting anyone as a saint here but logic should be applied with rational reasoning.

In 2019, Atiku and Buhari contested, 2 northerners, one has verifiable business acumen and has shown some level of management in growing his various businesses, while the other had just failed his first 4 years in office, Atiku was roundly rejected by his northern brothers even though he had a proven better management skill in business and economics...

Why? Ideology drove them to make the choice, telling you they were not after a country with economic prosperity, they focused more on religion because they saw Buhari to be a more religious person.

Fast forward to 2023 and then you have Tinubu and Osinbajo

Many Yorubas roundly rejected Osinbajo for Tinubu and even called him a betrayer, why?

Ideology , sincerely speaking, most Yorubas know Osinbajo would have performed better than Tinubu, but that was not what they wanted, they wanted a Tinubu for their ideological reasons and not for the interest of Nigeria...

You might want to say the same for the Igbos with Obi, isn't it better we just divide and have our ideologies to ourselves without disturbing other people?

PolyGamous:
Buhari and Atiku were good comparison of what you said though, but the time Atiku campaigned against Buhari “aside from the ideology thing, people perceived Buhari to be working, his first term convinced people to vote for him again”

But Tinubu and Osinbajo was within party, Osinbajo was voted out in primaries, not by the people. It’s just like that of Ambode.

I still maintain my own stand of the big role Education can play.. “people can tell what is right, imagine people saying infrastructure is not something government should prioritize, because their candidate said so” that convinced me that people don’t really know what they want..

Imagine a SE resident saying sit at home has nothing to do with their economy, educated Igbo people were silent about the Nnamdi Kanu because they know what it is costing their region, Soludo have to wait till he secured his second term before going full force against them. You think any politician will become president tomorrow and reverse all the policies Tinubu has made?

Maybe the national antenna sha, they all know what’s right, but the won’t want to attempt it because they know once the effect starts pouring in, desperate opposition can use it against them to convince the masses that doesn’t actually know what they want.

I have the video in my phone and it’s not AI …. Invite me to anywhere….

Plus my point is our neighbours are most likely are our problem…

Nah ur fada Dey open mouth any how

jidesp:
The fact that you have the video on your phone and still boldly tried to justify what is unconfirmed. Simply confirms your ignorance.
