Oh I see you've already accepted defeat and agreed there is no fvcking way on earth a yamreee will smell that seat

In the North, GEJ was referred to as "yamreee" but he won in 2011.

In politics, nothing is unthinkable. Even Buhari has given up before. El-Rufai ounce said "Buhari is democratically unelectable" but he is now one of Buhari's apostles

specialmati:
they need a puppet they can control. no one should vote any of this people in power come 2023

As if your vote counts. If Buhari and Northern leaders accept Umahi and provide a capable Vice President for him, he will win.
Just a pronouncement by Sardauna of Sokoto and every Northern muslim and Yoruba muslim will vote for him.

Forget about Biafra and PDP. I can assure you that Igbos will vote for him.

Yesterday was world volunteering day..
Lets say am working the talk.
As work no dey for me to do, lemme help educate some folks here.
Am good in maths and stats.
Though i studied marine biology....

He was just dishing out figures and adding them up ignorantly.

It is very hilarious!

Simplyleo:
80% of 3 million is 2.4 million.

North cannot give igbo 40% even in the next world. Highest 2%.

But 50% of 70 million is 35 million.

Just the north is enough.

Argue with lamidi cownu.

Have you been to the North? You think they are politically naive like you?
The North votes for their interest and I can assure you that Tinubu can never be president.
Everybody in the North sees Goodluck as Igbo but yet they voted him because there was a gentleman agreement that he will rule for only one tenure and return power to them.
You know nothing about the North. They are after their interest which is to remain in power as long as possible.

yaki84:
Simple statistics u dont know.
If tinubu wins north's 50percent of total votes cast, that means the other 50percent is left for other contenders to share. The closest can get atleast 30-40percent of the remaining votes left. If there r 20million valid votes cast, it means tinubu goes home with 10million votes and 10million votes left for others to share. There is possibility of the closest contender to go home with 5-7million votes whixh represent up to 30-40 percent.
That is how to do stats, not what u did up there.

Why are teaching the idiot Maths for free?

Simplyleo:
All APC needs in SE is just to have some little support. This is to satisfy constitutional requirement of 2/3. Because, if presidential election in Nigeria is by mere simple majority, there are places in Nigeria Tinubu will not waste his time and resources to go for campaign.

50% votes from North
30 % votes from SW
15 % votes from SS
Total = 95%. I think that's enough.

Pls I don't know who provides the remaining 5% votes.

You are not wise.
Go back to your Maths teacher for refund of your fees

WrittyWritter:
But it is not fair..u suffer with a man and when he makes it..he goes outside and spend on other ladies leaving u to suffer..it happened to my mom..so I know what I'm saying..u think it does not pain d woman..and if not 4 d children it will be like she suffered in vain.

Dat is y my mom also suffered 4 us. .so dat we won't suffer 4 any man

Another man can't pay for the sin of your father.

The best way to ensure that you don't suffer is to make your own money and not by waiting and hoping that a rich man will marry you.

djon78:
Word!!!!
@ OP are you the right person to be with?
Do you have the right character and attitude?

Bcoz if you don't have the required resume
The right one will come and you will mess everything up

Moreover
To stay with a woman
You need patience
Especially if you want to get the best out of your union
You need patience

Patience? Because she is doing you a favour?
So the criteria to getting a good wife is your ability to tolerate her nonsense?

cococandy:
I wish someone would advice this 22yr old girl to focus on herself rather than working on you and securing loans for you with hopes that your magnanimity will be what her future needs. In 10yrs time when you probably have something worthwhile going for yourself, she will become ‘too fat’ ‘too old’ ‘too opinionated’ etc for you.

Feminist spotted! If this one comes close to your girlfriend, the love story will end.

baby124:
If it’s so hard then, you are the problem. Whether physically, emotionally or mentally. They are running from you for a reason. Check yourself and change.

This is not true. Getting a good girl in Nigeria is more difficult than becoming a president.

He is not the problem, feminism movement is the problem.

If you see the way mothers are indoctrinating their daughters on how to deal with men, you will shed tears.

Nigerian girls do not want real men. They love simps who they can manipulate to their advantage.

Angelfrost:
Why do you blame Buhari for Nigeria's issues when most of them predate him??!...

Who is putting the entire blame on Buhari for issues that predate him?

Jagznation:
ugwanyi is working

The bridge is older than Ugwuanyi. Why do you put the entire blame on him?

leokid866:
lol....it will shock you to know that the card been played in the north is that the igbos were the cause.....because I had some people that came in after the incident....the fact that the place they get money from was vandalized plus their caution for igbos.....I wouldn't put your hopes on an igbo presidency.

South west has nothing to lose if they fail to produce the president even in the next sixteen years.

Obasanjo (President) - 8 years

Osibanjo (Vice president) - 8 years

And you want to become president again? Because other tribes are fools?

DonFreshmoney:
So Osibanjo is just sitting down and saying nothing like a coward... that guy irritates me now..

We just in 2020 for God sake, all this permutation for 2023 is uncalled for

Obasanjo (President) - South West- 8 years

Osibanjo (Vice president) - South West- 8 years

And you want Osibanjo to indicate interest in what? Becoming president?

He will receive a hot slap.

Juliusmalema:
Enugu state is not dominated by Christians, atleast it has about 45 percent of her population to be muslims.

Today they intermarry at a very fast rate and spreading Islam to the remaining percent.

It is not something to get angry on but it has come to stay.

45% muslims? Are you alright?

For your information, all the muslims in Enugu state including hausa traders and beggars are not up to 10% of Enugu population.

are you kidding me?

When 18 Igbo men embraced muslim in 2013, it was National celebration for the muslim in Abuja. Read the news below:

https://aboutislam.net/muslim-issues/africa/igbo-muslims-spread-islam-southeast-nigeria/

Are you sure that you are a Nigerian?

Juliusmalema:
Idiot for saying an obvious truth?

If you have anything in that microchips in your skull that you mistook for brain, you would have known that Enugu State is the most christian dominated state in the East and the state also boast of most spiritually-gifted men of God in the east. The little fraction of Ndi Enugu who practise muslim religion are migrants from Niger State who settled somewhere near Ibagwa in Nsukka and intermarried. Recently, their mosque has been destroyed.
Obviously, you cannot conduct an independent research and always swallow news on media line hook and sinker.

Even in the seat of caliphate (Sokoto) we still have hausa christians and no state in Nigeria can boast of 100% muslims or christians.

Juliusmalema:
Alright noted

Is there actually any difference between Enugu and Kano.

Both states are Indigenously dominated by Muslims though Kano state is a bit higher

You are an idiot, no apologies.

NNEWIsuper:
Fat fool Nsukka woman governor.. The worst governor east of Nigeria.. His performance just looks like Nsukka

Nobody in your clan has ever become a governor and you are insulting a town that boasts of first indigenous Federal University, Federal College of education, best cathedral in West Africa, Ogige Modern market, Research Institutes, banks, School of nursing, transport facilities, among others.

Do you mind telling me which bush you come from?

Samfloxin:
We study bible and do what is there in. What Catholics do is idolatry.

And you choose the part of the bible to obey and throw away the part that does not suit you or your church doctrines.

It is not everything that is written in the bible-John 21:25

The bible allowed Christians to practise anything that would bring glory to his name-Colossians 3:17

Abcruz:
Bowing to Obas & Igwes is a sign of respect for a constituted authority but bowing down to an image created by the hands of a man is purely idolatry and it was was plainly condemned by God in the book of Genesis.

BTW I was once Catholic but I left due to their doctrines. I'm of the belief that a true Christian assembly should operate according to the dictates of the holy bible and not communal doctrines.

Who asked you if you were ounce a catholic?

chrisxxx:
If I had married an American, I would claim American citizenship. Pls don't confuse us. Dey your own. This new trend of Ikwerre is Igbo just started with your demented London based albino.

STOP reasoning this way. Tribe and naturalization is remarkably different. You don't become an Hausa man because you married an Hausa woman but you can become a Nigerian by marrying a Nigerian.

Mikel Obi has naturalized in England but he is not English by tribe. He is an Igbo man, period!

Tonalphs:
person say I nor b, u dey force am make him b.
are u him? is he u? lol. please y'all should free the guy joor. most Ikwere people I know do not agree that they're Igbo's. it's just a societal mix up.
it's like saying Nembe people are Ijaw people. We accept that if we're outside. but we don't accept that when we're in Bayelsa. our languages may be similar. but we've chosen our path.
Wike isn't Igbo. make una rest.

Can specifically name any worthy Igbo son/daughter whom at any time forced Wike to accept that he is Igbo?

Can you show us the link.

We have too many high achievers that it will be an insult to claim that Igbos are forcing Wike of all people to become one of them.

What is so special about Ikwerre? Who knows them? What are they known for?

obiekunie2:
oga!

IKWERRE IS NOT IGBO! PERIOD!


HABA NA!

YOU PEOPLE SHOULD STOP MAKING THESE DESCENDANT OF SLAVES FEEL VERY IMPORTANT!

THEY HAVE NEVER CONTRIBUTED ANYTHING TO THE IGBOS EXCEPT PROBLEMS!


THEY BETRAYED US DURING THE CIVIL WAR AND ALLOWED NIGERIAN SOLDIERS TO INVADE US FROM THE SOUTH!

NOW THEY ARE STILL DOING IT BY ACCEPTING TO BE FULANI STOOGES IN THE SOUTH SIMPLY BC THEY WERE PROMISED TO BE MADE THE DOMINANT PEOPLE IN SOUTH-SOUTH!



NDI IGBO PLS FREE YOURSELVES FROM SEEING IKWERRES AS BROTHERS - IKWERRES ARE NOT YOUR BROTHERS, THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN YOUR BROTHERS AND THEY CAN NEVER BE YOUR BROTHERS! PERIOD!

Ikwerres are the one begging to be Igbos when it favours them. Did you see Igbos claiming that Obaseki is Igbo?

If the idiotic Wike was caught as a drug dealer somewhere in Indonesia, you will be the first person to link him to Igbos/South east.

Duncan Mighty in his song called him "Ezeyesom wike" and today the idiot is struggling to mumble some strange words as the correct pronunciation of his name.
Wike is nowhere near to well accomplished Igbos and nobody in the entire Rivers state has achieved anything close to worthy Igbo sons and daughters.
Let us see what becomes of Wike after governorship.

The best thing that can happen to a Nigerian graduate is to get a well-paying job after graduation and NYSC. This desire has become the bases for university education in Nigeria coupled with titles such as Dr., Eng., Pharm., and Arch. as well as the respect and social benefits.
Consequently, many Nigerian students usually go for the “so-called” lucrative and “professional” courses in their choice of course of study while seeking admission into the university.
In all this, Biochemistry has gradually become a “useless” course to many Nigerians because of the frustration of biochemistry graduates in the job market. While graduate unemployment is not peculiar to biochemistry graduates, biochemistry is arguably the most difficult course and for an intelligent Nigerian graduate who passed through the rigor of understanding the underlying principles of life processes at molecular level and its applications in Industry, Research, Agriculture, Medicine, Law and Crime to remain unemployed is beyond frustration.
Fortunately, just like every other discipline in Nigeria, money and quick employment should not form part of the reasons to study biochemistry. With passion and dedication, every intelligent biochemist that I know made it eventually.
Let us look at organizations in Nigeria that employ Biochemistry graduates and the entry-level salary
i. Hospital: Recently Biochemistry graduates are employed as Scientific officers in hospital and the salary range is ₦105,000 - ₦120,000
ii. Research Institutes: With B.Sc Biochemistry, you start as Research Officer II and the entry level salary is ₦110-₦120,000
iii. Beverage Industries: Recently, you may need a Master’s degree to join as a Manager in the beverage industry. Biochemistry graduates are employed as brewers in their Supply Chain Division. The entry-level salary is ₦ 385,000-₦500,000 with other benefits. However, the selection process is very competitive and the training is very intensive.
iv. Government Agencies: NAFDAC, SON, NDLEA, DPR, NNPC, NABDA, among others do employ Biochemistry graduates but most of the recruitments here are not merit-based. Starting salary is about ₦93,000 -₦250,000
v. Audit Firms & Banks: A university degree, 2:1 and 26 years is enough for you to join these industries provided you do well in aptitude test and interview. Starting salary is about ₦150,000-₦250,000
vi. Lecturing: With B.Sc Biochemistry, you can lecture in polytechnics and monotechnics as Assistance lecturer. You need a 2:1 for graduate assistant position in the universities and M.SC Biochemistry for Assistance lecturer position. You need to obtain a PhD and make publications in order to enjoy career as a lecturer. Salary is about ₦93,000 - ₦160,000
vii. Teaching: You easily get a teaching job in private secondary school but the pay is poor. If you add a PGDE to your degree, many reputable secondary schools including government owned schools will employ you to teach Chemistry or biology but the salary is not that attractive. Salary is about ₦15,000-₦70,000
viii. Entrepreneurship: A biochemistry graduate with money and vision can set up an ethanol plant, Biogas plant, Industrial starch production, Industrial enzyme production and other raw materials for industries. This requires a lot of money but if you can achieve it, you are on your way to join the leagues of Dangote.
CHALLENGES
i. Nigerian universities produce more graduates than the labour market can employ. These places cannot employ every graduates. Even medical doctors are facing unemployment. You have to be exceptional, patient, and hardworking to succeed.
ii. Godfatherism has come to stay and those who have godfathers constantly take the few positions. This happens mostly in Government establishments. You have to reach out and make connections or concentrate your search to private organizations and multinationals. They pay better salary and career growth is faster.
iii. Sometimes you have to compete with graduates of Microbiology, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Food Science for positions. The versatility of Biochemistry will give you competitive edge but you also have to up your game.
