SnowJay92:
So in other words we'd keep fooling ourselves till eternity then?

Bizibi:
I think it would be good for underage age voting to be allowed in the south, at least it will be 50/50 on the election day.

chloride6:
You cant seem to focus.

Anyway call your minions to order

chloride6:
Like i said earlier, focus, focus.

This is a thread for underage voting.....

Not for election rigging..

Generally discussing election rigging here would be akin to discussing corruption in nigeria in a thread for the electricity problems in Nigeria.

So Underage voting, why is your 6 year old cousin voting

GavelSlam:
What they are saying is that it is ok to butcher and maim down south but unforgivable that kids should be recruited to vote up north.

chloride6:
This is not a thread for (ballot box snatching, mass thumbprinting and cultism-related electoral violence) in the south.

Besides don't you have that in the north too?

The question here is why kids who are supposed to be in school are found in polling booths.

Focus, Aboki , Focus.

Firefire:
So SW & SE are same? Bros think now...

Before you quote me, make sure you research to know that NORTH = NORTH. By religion and culture.

QuotaSystem:
If you want to micro-zone it, then Yakubu (NE) is not from the same region as Buhari (NW), just like Iwu (SE) was not from the same region as OBJ (SW)

Firefire:
Professor Mahmoud Yakubu should be removed immediately.

The next general election is already compromised if a Northerner presides over INEC when another Northerner from the same region is contesting as sitting president. This is against past precedents .

Mboi:
[s]Hey! Are you this daft? Sorry o. This BMC crew, e be like say them dey take una brain for there put another one.[/s]

Mboi:
Maurice Iwu is from SOUTH east, Obasanjo is South west. Why won't INEC Chairman come from South West. Ewu...

Mboi:
Please it's like this una BMC dey pay money well well, please tell guys how to apply. One of the skills I have that suits the job is my ability to lie and defend the lies..

chloride6:
Are you trying to justify underage voting in the North?

princeade86:
why will inec chairman come from north

0monnak0da:
Yes my academic background is indeed way above average.I am proud of that and to that extent I can beat my chest and repeat "the day has not come when an Aboki would lecture me." That is the bitter truth. Maybe if I wanted to study Hausa Arabic or Islamic Studies which won't happen
The standards we have are very different.

If you were a thinking person you would not focus on the proxy Time Award but ask what did he do to achieve the award.

I can tell you for free: Propaganda. He bought cheap publicity and made a lot of noise. Thaat is the simple truth.
Many of the things Time Magazine credited him with had either happened before he got into officce or quite simply were beyond the purview of the CBN governor

You see exactly what I am talking about Mr Aboki.

It should be " EMBOLDENED" not the BOLDED.

That is just an unpardonable solecism. If anyone was to do a lecture it would be me.


Like I said tell us what Sanusi achieved ,(One thing) and you have come up with a procured award founded on LIES.

Are you afraid to articulate it yourself. Why quoting TIME .

Tell us one thing he did

Did Sanusi have the power to order mergers of banks?

Tell us which banks merged under Sanusi

All the mergers are happened under Soludo. That was when the consolidation took place so save that lie for Time Magazine or CNN .

The CBN governor does not have the powers you credited to him. Those are political government functions and the proper credit for consolidation in the industry should go to Obasanjo's government because that is when they happened

The truth is Sanusi was disgraced out of office. He went to court and then quietly withdrew the case.
He is the only CBN governor to be so disgraaced in our history
The truth is Sanusi started DONATING money to his kin in Kano an unprecedented action for a CBN governor
The CBN governor ,not just in Nigera but all over the world is not a role for achieving awards .
The CBN governor does not have control over fiscal policy and so the credit gven to Sanusi is just fraudulent.

The truth is the man was an attention seeking egotistic politician who used propaganda to procure a dubious award.
All of them Okonjo-Iweala, Soludo and so on have been winning awards all over the place. That does not fool anybody.

Rather than point at the award tell us . WHAT DID DE DO . Keep it simple List only ONE THNG please

How can you with a straight face claim Sanusi ordered bank mergers. Can forced bank mergers occur without legislation. Who made the legislation and when? How can credit for that be given to any CBN governor? Have you ever lived anywhere outside Nigeria?
How often do you hear the names of the CBN governors anywhere the way we heard Sanusi's name?
The guy obviously wanted to use the office as a political platform but the reality is he did not have the authority to do the things now attributed to him or to donate money to his Kano people as he did and he was suspended and disgraced out of office.

The primary function of the CBN is a collegiate one not a function of the governor personally i.e Monetary policy.

ConAir:
As usual KANSIEC denied the allegations,

The north has always been practicing underage voting

For a free and fair election, Nigeria should invite some professional expatriate to supervise election in the north specifically.

sarrki:


Boss it seems you don't know



Enemies of state are cunny and diabolical in nature

OneCorner:
why can't they open one in owerri, arochukwu or enugu...
must everything be south south?

0monnak0da:
The day has not yet come when an Aboki would lecture me you do not have the range or depth. Whatever you might think you have achieved academically you would be a poor ersatz by my side so do not go there.

What you said is still there. Clear as mud.

If we accept that people are not intrinsially inferior then ultimately it all ust come down to culture.
We are educationally backward in Nigeriia, you asserted earlier. That must be relative to somewhere else. .
I argue that that too is down to culture.
That international differencee though is no where near the intranational difference that we have in Nigeria( i.e. North/South). Yet for decades the chief Justice of Nigeria has been from the Nortth. Does this reflect the graduation data from our law school or quality?.

Even such discriminatory practice as well as quota systems etc are all part of CULTURE ,if you don't know.


The cultural issues that produce backwardness educationally for Nigeria are quite different from those in the North though they act synergistically to produce the profound backwardness that we see in the North.
The academic mindset in the south is competitive from day one. If you see a southerner in a British University 9 times out of 10 he is hustling whereas a Northerner is there on scholarship or because he has rich parents.
A northerner who achieves a PhD is celebrated and a celebrity not so down south.
Fury and bluster will not change this and the quota system only makes you lazy. I have been to school with Southerners and Northerners and yes there are 1 or two from the North who I have met outside Nigeria,again one or two, in academia but also I have met hundreds of Ibos and Yorubas etc. And even when I do meet such Northerners usually they are Kwara,Kogi and such like.Yes there are a few from further up north but none of them has excelled more than southerners and this again ,I believe, is cultural.

This is what Ohanaeze are bitter about and using the Unity school issue as a proxy battleground for.

I believe Unity schools should be sequestrated from the quota system debate but the reality is if we ran a genuine meritocracy over 80%of Northerners in FG elmpoyent cannot be there

To that extent the North is holding the country back

I do not need to Google Sanusi and his procured award

Telll me any other banker from the US Germany etc who has such reputation.

Bankers are conservative by nature ,They do not do OSCARS

so in the case of Sanusi rather than focus on his bogus award.

Tell us in a very short sentence

ONE THING SANUSI ACHIEVED

JUST ONE

AfonjaConehead:
Nnamdi Kanu and his Ipob was a grand opportunity for the yorubas and entire south to at least drag the north and rest of naija to the round table to iron out foundational and fundamental issues regarding the nation,to really negotiate our nationhood

sarrki:


Failed as a ruling party

Failed woefully as an opposition party

PDP will fail even if it is a birthday party - imagine PDP using the word "fair" in the same sentence with its name

I wonder how "fair" its candidate selection would be when it has already zoned its presidency to the North for the next 8 years.

Firstpage:
In military admission, or federal government recruitment that I know, all states are giving slots based on their population. That's quota system too.

Chukazu:
You are actually the one believing everything you read on the internet... because I can bet my middle finger that "Abraham Lincoln" didn't make that statement

You know why?... there was nothing like the internet when Abraham Lincoln was alive . Lincoln is my hero and I sure know certain truth about him

Chukazu:
"You can not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong"

Abraham Lincoln

Stingman:
Abooki are those tier one banks?

Your illiteracy is the worse form I have ever seen.

Lmao see what I was saying? Complete impenetrability that skull of yours .

Could it be so difficult to understand that no single individual "owns" any bank? Or that tier rating is subject to several metrics?

Dude grab a book please and avoid my mentions Biko

QuotaSystem:
Don't ask me any more dumb, ignorant, repeated questions

Stingman:
Mention any tier one bank owned by your region (19 states). Your richest man dwells on loans from banks owned by people from other region. You should be reminded of that.

Stingman:
How many tier 1 banks are ownd by the norrtherners, who pride themselevs with 19 states and huge land mass?

QuotaSystem:
First of all, practically all banks in the country are owned by the public i.e shareholders, therefore none can be said to be owned by a single individual...an individual can only have majority shareholding.

However before recapitalisation which made most banks go public, Bank of the North (now Unity bank), Habib Bank (Keystone Bank) and Gamji Bank are some of the banks indigenous to the north.

Post-recapitalisation, Jaiz Bank is the most prominent northern-founded bank.

Don't ask me any more dumb, ignorant, repeated questions

Stingman:
...mister you are beneath me in any standard...

Lmao the typical ibo delusion of grandeur in full display

My friend, just thank your stars for the anonymity that the Internet provides you with, and enjoy it.

Now bugger off child

0monnak0da:
Military irrelevance of the entire South is "self inflicted"
Do you not think that at some point we must agree it is not working and go our separate ways?

0monnak0da:
I am not the other party .
Sanusi was the governor of the CBN there is nothing renowned about him.

What did he achieve as Governor of CBN.
By the way what is a banker because I a struggling with the idea of a globally renowned banker. Ifthere is such a thing then Sanusi is the only one.
18 by our law is an adult I mentioned 13. I remember Sanusi interviewing on the marriage and the Young girl was suposedly still in education.Is that the case for those kids with VVF who marry at 13?
Yes i is a cultural thing.

The reason the North is backward educationally is CULTURAL.
Marriageble AGE has EVERYTHING to do with educational advancement. You don't get it?

If a girl is busy making babies at 13 she will not become a lawyer at 22.
The female educational backwardness in the North is among the worst in the world
Duh
The reason Nigeria is backward is cultural too

The effect is much amplified in the North

I am not one of those who believe that Northerners are inferior but that the problem is CULTURAL.
Much of it has to do with how you educate your girls.

An ignorant girl will be an ignorant mother

Anyway those issues are tangential to the Unity school issues which I do not side with Ohanaeze on .Nevertheless a cut off of 5 and 7 is worrying for the affected states.What is going on?

Stingman:
2 out of 16....

You need more education..

Do you now understand the meaning of being greedy?

You are extremely poor in reasoning...and everyone can see it.

0monnak0da:
I agree that the National standard is poor but the North is egregious it is not in anyway comparable to te South. Educationally the North is more than 20 years behind the south.

There are nevertheless minority elite education provisions in Nigeria from which we churn out world class intellectuals . This is virtually Non-existent in the North.

Do not try to deceive yourself that somehow the North and the South have the same problem

What I am championing on this thread is we do not conflate other issues with the Unity school issue

We cannot deny those issues nevertheless.They are very real.
How many people in the south marry off 13 year old girls?

It is funny that you fall back to Dangote as your joker on a thread about EDUCATION


It makes mequestion your own education

Please tell us the outstanding scholars from the North? There are none really.
That someboody went to University and became a Professor may be an achievement in the North bu it is so comonlace in the souh that is JUST NOT ENOUGH

Stingman:
I don't blame you for your extremely poor IQ level.

Please check the meaning of "greedy"...and reflect it with these positions in a diverse country like your one "utterly hopeless" Nigeria...

Your personal attacks simply betray your frustration

Where is the Yoruba Chief of Defence Staff on that list?

Chief of naval staff?

I don't deal with slow, ignorant and insincere victim players.

0monnak0da:
I do not support Ohanaeze on the Uniity school issue because the schools were set up for a specific reason.
Nevertheless the education situation in the North is disgraceful let us not kid ourselves.

The Secretary General of OPEC and deputy UN Secretary or Deputy are political roles.Their Occupation is not evidence of anything.The fact that you even bring it up makes me embarrassed FOR YOU.

I do not not know that you have any global champions and if you do those that you mention cannot be placed in that category.

There is a serious QUOTA SYSTEM problem in Nigeria with the North let us not kid ourselves. My position is that the UNITY schools shool be excluded fro that discussion
But Otherwse

There is nothing to write home about. Take the oil industry where NNPC is doinated by Northerners ,if they are so good why don't we see them dominate in Shell,Mobill etc. This is the sort of thing Ohanaeze are bitter about and I support them 100%.


Where I disagree with them is on the UNITY SCHOOL issue but otherwise educationally the North should hide its head in shame.

It is is a total embarrassent to Nigeria and has used quota systes to lower standards in all spheres of our life.
