For those who always ask for links

Mujtahida:

I'm not talking geography. I've already affirmed that as far as geography is concerned you are correct. However with geo politics this does not apply.

Morocco is in North Africa yet Ecowas has in principle approved Morocco's membership application despite the country being in North Africa.

Ecowas is a geopolitical body with economic focus just as NATO is a geopolitical body with defence as its focus.

tbaba1234:


I remember, he called for the invite of unproven players that had done nothing at that point.

Imagine someone calling for Olowu and Miguel Azeez to be invited to the super eagles now. But who knows, they might be options in a few years time.

ChrisKels:


These examples u gave do not correlate with the major topic. Ecowas is nothing but an organization, though formed and made up of people from West Africa, hence can be joined by anybody who meets their terms and conditions. Morrocco joining Ecowas doesn't make them West Africans. Remember this isn't an ethnic discourse where u could say bkus Anambra is GeoPOLITICALLY ceaded to maybe the South West doesn't make dem to cease being from the Igbo tribe, since the Odua tribe constitutes the South West.

Mujtahida:

Bro I agree with you that geopolitics should align with geography but I say again it need not be so.

Look beyond the examples and see the principle: man creates his own fictions or fabrications.

Like I said before south south is a fiction of geo politics in Nigeria. Is that not so? It's in our political discourse is that not so?

Whether the fiction aligns with geography does not change the fact that it exists in our consciousness. It's just like a lie which can exists as truth in a person's mind. That's my main point.

I think your main grouse is that since it does not align with geography, this South South thing is a lie but do note that lies do exist. Even today the lie that the earth is flat is stoutly being promoted by organized groups because they feel its the truth.

Good morning

Is this another one ?

I was thinking I have done my nomination already

Icon4s:


Andrew, it is the same call for voting naa. Yes, you have done yours but some others haven't that's why the need for continued reposting.

Meanwhile the committee has not seen your Super Eagles Best XI.

Joebie:
the SE is also a lie using the same logic. So what is the ruse?

Mujtahida:

South East is not a lie because it aligns with geographical reality. There's nothing like South South in the cardinal points and their correlatives

Mujtahida:

It's true in a general sense. If you have lived in the North you'd know that Humility017 analysis and the endorsement by illicitblood is generally true. Of course exceptions exists.

somehow:

No one earns a million per month in the league

ChrisKels:

Talk of a waste man, carpenter, bricklayer, morgue attendant, Lagos Road sweeper and waste of space

Odunayaw:
I live in the north. Not all North is "North" abeg. I shuttle Niger-Nasarawa well and I've seen my fair share of ambitious northerners hence I said its not entirely true.

I've not been further North (Zamfara, Katsina etc) tho

Humility017:


Smiles..... I stated there how this issue rooted in little education emanate right from the colonialist and the northern elites who took over continue to perpetuate the same act on their people....

if you look close well.... you'll see amajiri all over with plates moving from shop to shop, house to house begging for food...

if you look through you'll see zinc huts made from place to place with like 5 northerners seeking solace there still harbouring wives and plenty kids somewhere....

you'll see full grown adults who don't even hear English let alone communicate in English plenty kids don't even hear at all....and are not in school....
in this 21st century for a country with English as an official language it speaks much.....

education expose you and makes you enlightened and as well builds dreams in you as it equip you with a broad and thorough peoblem solving mindset.....

I still say it..... the depriving of this Nigerians the needed education and now their elites, have gone to make them less ambitious and imbide in them less drive for self growth and development.


you really have to take your time observe when next you shuttle especially for a state like Niger which has produced over 3 heads of state still with little penchant for education.

if you look very well the few northerners you see that are very ambitious are the educated ones

Odunayaw:
You're not wrong to say they are 'less ambitious' but anyone telling me they are overall not ambitious is going to have to make me unsee the last years of my life.

There is less perchance for Education but I have tutored brilliant minds in Niger and Nasarawa born by relative illiterates. Mind you, these are in the tens and not trickles here and there. Many of these kids form an opinion of who they want to be by media (Bollywood, Nollywood etc). Even my colleagues in University at times leave me questioning what I've heard of the North before (All from poor backgrounds). You see farmers here (don't know what letter O looks like) hustling hard to get mechanized farming equipment.

You forget that
isn't static? if I go by your analogy of "common place" things, I'd say Ibadan has the highest concentration of mad people in Nigeria but that'd be blanket isn't it?
