springer: The youth problem should not be one of age or longevity. It should be our own participation in personal and civic affairs, not the condemnation of all things old. |

CodeTemplar: You do not have much choice in the PDP or APC selection of candidates. The SDP is presently small enough for your voice to be heard. This is why I wrote of "Bargain". We could be the candidates in our wards and states and we could exert pressure for candidature in national elections. |
Politics / Re: Pantami Takes NIN To New York To Enrol Nigerians Living In U.S. by PublicPriest(m): 12:27am On Jul 29, 2021 |
nairalandankrah: Your paranoia is impressive. This NIN thing is the objective census Nigeria has never had. Without figures, Governments and corporations can't plan, without some measure of accurate planning the national economy won't grow. Without growth, the issues you want desperately resolved will be exacerbated. Bandits don't need data and a Jihadist doesn't use it. |
Politics / Re: Is The Southern Part Of Nigeria Cursed To Suffer Under The Fulani Led Northern N by PublicPriest(m): 12:00am On Jul 29, 2021 |
fenibak: You're pissed because you are marginalized. Great. A little bit of strategy might still get you 2023 presidency but you really must end this tribal puking. In colonial times, it was the North feeling frozen and refusing Nigeria. In the First Republic, it was the west left out in the cold and an Obafemi talking secession. Today it's an Nnamdi Kanu. Oh and it's my oil. I'm Ogoni with a land devastated by exploration but what do derivation percentages matter when nuclear energy is making a come-back and artificial intelligence is the new frontier. If they say it's theirs, they are welcome to have it so long they open tech options and their own land. You said it was yours once, remember? Fought for self-determination and killed my people for wanting theirs. That was the Civil War for us, a war of domination and not freedom. Sip Lipton and relax. There are solid reasons why Nigeria will NOT break up regardless of your sunset flag and radio. |
Politics / Nigerian Youths Should Pick SDP In 2023 Elections by PublicPriest(m): 11:43pm On Jul 28, 2021 |
It's a terrible mess. The Social Democratic Party has a dysfunctional website, a rambling manifesto, a stark absence in many parts of the country and a big mouth which was last heard talking 'bout their readiness to rule Nigeria in 2019. With 30,000 votes. Still I think they are the best bet for youths for two prominent reasons: 1. BARGAIN: It's like Apple Stock with a hippie Steve Jobs. It's small, dysfunctional, and an uncertain option so now is the best time to buy into the illustrious party and craft it's program. We give the votes and they give the platform. 2. CONFIRM 2015 was not truly about Goodluck Jonathan. I know people who voted for Buhari across ethnic and party lines. They did so because of a callous indifference the political elite had suddenly assumed. CHANGE was to teach "them" a lesson, a test of democracy and collective schadenfreude --not because we thought an octogenarian would do anything better other than have his men steal less or quietly. But we should not return to that abusive relationship we had with the PDP. We should press the point of citizen sovereignty. We should confirm the possibilities of our democracy. |
