We av already. Pidgin English

And you are proud to depend on another man's language, an adulterated one for that matter.

Are you also proud when Nigerian children jettison vernacular in favour of English.

That's a loss of identity & a form of slavery.

I still regard this coastal highway as a white elephant project, that should not be priority in Nigeria.

There are over 30 bridges, while driving through the existing East-West road section of Delta State to Rivers state.

You can then imagine the immense number +cost of bridges needed for a parallel Coastal Road version that will be closer to the Atlantic coast.

Hope they are not counting dialects as languages.

We need a single National Language as obtainable in most European countries. Maybe WaZoBia will suffice.

We believe in practical / life not people that only come online to rant but can't come out to cast vote, that's what majority of online voters do💯💯💯💯💯

An online poll has nothing to do with ranting or making noise online. It simply reflects a candidate's popularity among Netizens.
And we all know that Netizens are majorly the educated & literate class in Society.
That a candidate is popular among the educated class speaks volumes.

On the other hand, online polls not reflecting in reality could also be due to manipulation of the electoral process.

Anyway, best Govt can do for the nation is to ensure free & fair elections.

On the other thread, FIRS announced they can now monitor all financial transactions real-time. A similar implementation in the electoral process will go a long way in ensuring credible elections.

Metrofox:
You've probably never held any leadership position so I don't expect you to understand reward and incentive systems. When a county sends a private jet to rescue just one citizen in a crisis situation, it's done to make a statement on national pride and to spur motivation in citizens.

The ripple effect will be felt everywhere, all shouting about soldiers have forgotten we have a remembrance day dedicated to them for this same reason. There is no day for ordinary citizens , enough said.

So how does this cash gift motivate Soldiers, Lectures, health workers, etc to put in their best towards nation building?

Wearing the green & white colours alone is enough motivation to serve your country if there is patriotism.

Look Bro, the entire remuneration system in the country is in a mess; reason for the large scale Japa & brain drain.
&I am talking about basic remuneration for hard work, not cash gifts.
That should rightfully be the priority of Govt.

papiwyte:
He always win online 😀 obi is a content creator/president 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😀😀😀😀

But shouldn't that be a concern to you that the result of the actual election does not reflect that of a candidate who largely wins online polls?

Does it not suggest that there is a flaw in the electoral process that needs to be corrected to reflect the true will of the people?

Metrofox:
When they're suffering collecting 40k monthly especially the home based ones do you ever think to speak out for them? This is their only career in life and they took a gamble to get here why can't you just be happy for them and stop this witchcraft behavior? Are you a crab in a bucket?

Quit the tantrums & look at it from a broader perspective of Nation Building.
To what extent does this cash largese contribute to Nation Building?
... against the background of Educational, Health & Security sectors that are all in shambles in the country.

If there was such reward system in those sectors, Nigeria would be a stronger nation.
Brain drain & Japa syndrome would be at minimum.
Our soldiers in Sambisa, Police at check points, university Graduates, striking Lecturers & hospital staff are all ill-motivated.

Ideally, wearing the Green & white jersey for your country is enough motivation & reward. But then patriotism is almost zero. People play because of cash gifts.

All these are absurdities and amount to misplaced priorities.

Even Reno Omokri who once praised Peter Obi to high heavens, is now ass-licking Mr President, whom he once tagged "A KNOWN DRUG LORD".

👉Reno Praise Obi

Sad.

When such tragedies occur, there are usually stories of people who would have been in the aircraft, but due to some "unfortunate circumstances" they were not.

Moral: An unfortunate circumstance or disappointment in life may actually be a blessing in disguise.

That igbos have not produce a president does not negate the Fact that Nigeria is partition into North and south,. cos East and West are suffixes to those

democracy the white are the ones rulling like since forever despite the fact America is partitioned into whites & blacks ... Obama only got a shot after 100 years of US democracy and does it look like a black will get another shot soon

People like you that push this lame argument are just being sea-lly or myopic ... North is segmented into NW, NC and NE, has the NC ever produced a president
whatever the North get they worked for it with there population and what yorubas are getting we worked for it building strong alliance .. nothing is given on platter of gold
i have no issues with the IGBOS But i get pissed at how they personalized "VICTIMIZATION" .... they play victim card in amost every challenge .. hahaha

Let's not digress & stay within the topic of discussion which is Rotational Presidency (RP)
Sowore said it is senseless, that the best hand should be president irrespective of region or tribe.
This is theoretically correct, but incorrect based on the reality on ground in Nigeria.

If not for RP, the North will enjoy large share of producing President because of their population.

Are you even aware that zoning the presidency to the South last election is a form of RP?
That's the major reason Tinubu became president. After his tenure, it will be turn of North.

The same reason for Quota system ahead of Merit system, is the same reason for RP, which is for equity & to carry all the regions along.

What about the general masses?

Quick poll...

LIKE for Obi
SHARE for Tinubu

cyberbro:
There is nothing absurd about this, you're just engaging in self-pity and have a parochial mindset. Do you even know how long these ladies have been playing without funding and recognition? 😒

These girls you're talking about have been training all their lives, some of them are also university graduates, just like yourself. You see them getting rewarded now after years of painful and excruciating training, challenges and disappointment and you think it is too much and it came overnight, whereas it's not even enough compared to their sacrifices.

The graduates at least can face their 9 to 5 and collect their salary, while many athletes risk not making it ever, just like there are many footballers who never made the national team or even got a club.

You have a point, but also look at it from the perspective of Nation Building.

xperiencelove:
Yes, that is how it is in every sport nowadays.
To me, the funniest of these sports is Golf.
How many graduate can be richer than Tiger Woods in the US. Someone that only hold a stick like object to play a small 🏀 into a hole. However, that is talent!

You are talking about EARNINGS.
Super Falcon's case is CASH GIFTS.

The society Tiger Woods plays, has a functional education system where graduates enjoy at least a comfortable living.

emirate9:
[s] I guess the Father/jacob birthed them alone, and its seems you like your " english" upside,down

Oga tribe and ethnic are more connected, the later is just "broader" .... stop complicating "english"

If you can try open your eyes you will see most wailing against Tinubu performance are mostly those average Yorubas, market women, .. go online search

What are the IGBos doing asides making a jest of those wailing and warning their brethren to boycott any protest ... yet you dare have the temerity to throw your smelly tribalism in my face .. sho wa ok


Sowore said ... he is yoruba

what is chukwudi saying ?? [/s]

Gibberish!
You are talking off-point.

If rotational Presidency is senseless,
what then is the justification for Quota System in Nigeria, instead of a system based on merit?

In a complex country as Nigeria, Rotational Presidency & Quota System are for equity, so every region has a sense of belonging.

Just in a few days, these D'Tigress & Super Falcon girls have been gifted money that millions of graduates will never earn in their entire lifetime.
Even reserve Goalkeeper & players that never kicked the ball.

Quite Absurd & a Food for Thought!

omooba969:
Nonsenze

No vex abeg.
Your frustration big pass the joke. 😂

emirate9:
do you know big big grammar have very little meaning unknown to the gullibles

isreal is a Nation so also is Nigeria full stop. and by the way isreal has 12 tribes, out of 12 how many dey become king
America pioneered democracy, one black man became president after how many years of democracy ?? one

12 tribes from same father, Jacob.
Tribe in this case does not refer to ethnicity, unlike in Nigeria.

Sowore stated that Nigeria needs the best person as President irrespective of his tribe.

But do you realise that, to an average Yoruba, Tinubu is the best.
To an average Ibo, Obi is the best.
Same with Atiku to the average Hausa.

So the concept of "best president" is viewed from tribal perspective in Nigeria.

Billionaires...

OTEDOLA

You that is reading this, wetin be that your name again? 😂

emirate9:
Funnily, are you aware this pattern started as far as from the days of the bible, in isreal not all tribe became king

Israel is a Nation, but Nigeria is a Geographical Contraption of diverse ethnic Nationalities.

Moreover what we have in Nigeria is Democracy.

Sowore said the country should be interested in a president who will run Nigeria better, irrespective of his region.

“If I have a good president in Nigeria who can run this country very well, I don’t care where he comes from.

This is theoretically correct.
But in reality, we all know that in Nigeria, Ethnicity is far stronger than Nationality. So majority are OK with whoever that is president, provided he is from their tribe.

Since politics is a game of numbers, some regions will hardly smell Presidency except it is rotated.

So Rotational Presidency makes sense in Nigeria context.

Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation.

Tinubu is running the economy aground, but some folks blinded by tribalism fail to see this.

The coast is getting clearer by the day to everybody. The Tinubulation is real & affecting everyone.

We'll know of it's truly true love after like 3 years of marriage.
For now, I wish them happy married life.

Omokri is an idle mind seeking for attention.

Yes, virginity is a desirable virtue, but it's your decision & choice to marry a virgin or non-virgin, but custom demands you pay money (Call it dowry or bride price) before wedding can take place.

FRSC is almost useless.

A friend was apprehended by Road Safety for a small crack in his windscreen, but a Passat passed by, carrying a full cow with the horns projecting out of a totally broken windscreen.

I once traveled in a commercial Sienna with completely worn-out tyres that later burst at high speed almost resulting in a ghastly accident.
&yet we passed so many road safety along the way, who were only interested in harassing & extorting private car owners.

nedekid:
Oga what can one buy with N50? Not even a stick of cigarette, candy or even those cheap biscuits. I understand a bottle of beer is like 1k. I cannot remember when I saw 50 naira last, is it still in circulation?

₦50 can buy you one Tom-Tom. Can also buy you Pure water.

But very soon, you will need ₦100 to buy them.

Who doesn't have a flaw?
No need to make a fuss about it on SM.

SmartPolician:
This is a sign of laziness. This is the very reason this country is a shit-hole. If you are not willing to do difficult things and solve tough challenges, what use are you to this world?

You ain't smart Bro, else you should know that DREAM is far from REALITY.

DREAMS don't change REALITY, so that's not the reason Nigeria is a shit-hole. Failed Leadership is the reason.

Tinubu's policies are impoverishing Nigerians and there is no hope in sight that things will get better.

₦10 & ₦20 notes have become useless under this regime.
₦50 will soon join.

This NIMET job na my dream job.
You can stay in your bedroom & Google a weather forecast.
Even if it doesn't happen, you can always find one explanation to give & nobody will hold you accountable.

At the end of the month, you smile to the bank with fat salary.

Nigeria is blessed with population

The blessing of population becomes a curse if you sacrifice Merit on the altar of Nepotism, Tribalism and other retrogressive sentiments.
