Rest in Peace to one of Africa's greatest industrialists.

A shining beacon of excellence for many decades. Dangote & BUA now have the baton.

If not for this man, millions of average Nigerians wouldn't have had access to affordable corn flakes and other confectioneries.

selemempe:
how low can you go? How low can an abokì go? You compare Emma powerful with a senate approved minister of defence in a large country like Nigeria?

Can you see how you guys from north have brought incompetence to public service?

He obviously needs to change his speechwriter and cultivate the habit of proofreading.

Stop getting emotional with your sanctimonious drivel, we haven't forgot your reverence & excuses for Patience Jonathan & her "fellow widows"

Dame Patience Jonathan Has Done It Again

Yesterday (sunday) while addressing an event for Widows, Patience Jonathan wife of the President Goodluck Jonathan started her speech thus: MY FELLOW WIDOWS.

Your husband is still alive please.

RisenJoe:
Even though he's reading from an already prepared speech

The mistake is obvious. Nobody is defending it.

I'm sure he'll appoint a more competent speechwriter going forward, especially after this backlash.

wordcat:
Where's QuotaSystem?

Lol it was surely a gaffe.

Though its nothing compared to Emma Blunderful & his ungun-known-men

Congratulations.

Spare no terrorists. BH, Killer Herdsmen, Bandits and IPOB terrorists must be extinguished.

Wishing you a safe tenure sir.

mrvitalis:
Which evidence ? Jamb record or weac ?

Your Exam Miracle centres make that a useless metric for measurement.

https://www.nairaland.com/1823420/anambra-close-486-exam-miracle/3

I'm talking Forbes and Political sophistry. Any truly smart person shouldn't need 50+ years to figure out the way to outsmart supposedly less educated, less intelligent people out of power don't you think?

Anyways I'm not here for some lame race to the bottom di.ck measurement. Bye.

mrvitalis:
Obviously u should know those are typo by auto correct but you just running away from the facts this Yoruba boy claiming northerner

1. That is not a typo.

2. Read the rest of my text. The evidence does not support your dreamy claims.

QuotaSystem:
If you were half of all you think you are, you'd have been dominating Politics and the Forbes list instead of being outsmarted, outclassed and outplayed all over the place.

3. My being Chinese or from Jupiter does not affect points 1 & 2.

mrvitalis:
When a tribe that's easily most enterprising , arguably most educated , most innovated and expert money n wealth managers are shut out of power

For a far less educated , primitive tribe the results is Nigeria

Hope u all can now see y igbos want to leave Nigeria

RIP English.

Most educated indeed

If you were half of what you think you are, you'd have been dominating Politics and the Forbes list instead of being outsmarted, outclassed and outplayed all over the place.

sarrki:
Yes oooo brotherly

Aso rock is our destination

How you dey?

I'm alright my dear patriot.

Nigeria must prevail.

This short fuse that cannot manage his home but always has advice on managing 200 million people has come again with his divisive rubbish.

Nigeria will never negotiate with terrorists.

Whether Bandits, Cownu, Igbohoe, Killer herdsmen, Bokoharam or any other enemy of Nigeria.

budaatum:
Thunder and fire! I forgot our honourable Minister of Transportation Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi from Ubima, Ikwerre, Eastern Region, Nigeria!

His days will be elongated and greater things will he do to inspire us all to do too!

Thank you for educating buda,

Honestly the Honorable impressed me.

I was full of admiration for the man and President Buhari when I used the Abuja - Kaduna train. Particularly loved the extra chilling a/c, USB charging ports, laptop tables and smartly dressed cabin crew. The beautiful station is just the icing on the cake.

If we were progressing at this pace since 1999 we would be launching bullet trains by now, but we are getting there.

God bless Nigeria.

sarrki:
The truth is we are not going to war nor disintegrating we are going to Aso rock

Ha...

Sarrki you want to give mass heart attack to ipob terrorists camp? Do you have enough stretchers for the mass casualties?

Biko stop this animal rights abuse.

budaatum:
A certain Fela will say "na tori you wan drag".

So far its in Nigeria, me I happy well well.

Same here bro.

Nigeria is making VISIBLE progress.

Kudos to President Buhari and Rotimi Amaechi.

First of all, northern professionals are not in their thousands, they are rare. How many northerners are medical doctors doing exceptionally well in America and Britain?
Secondly, southeast jettisons any system that doesn't bring out the best in them, anything that makes them less achievers. So quota system is a taboo to our existence.
Even the ongoing CBN intervention fund isn't popular in the southeast, an information confirmed by CBN itself couple of days ago.
The kind of hostility from the government against Innosson motor company will liquidate Dangote if he faces such.
Igbo man is greater than government and politics. Quota system you enjoy is inferior to us so why the bitterness since we are still millions of miles better than the products of quota system

Arrogant ignorance

ABU alone will give you over a thousand northern professionals (Doctors, Lawyers, Architects, Engineers, Accountants etc.). You really need to travel instead of sticking to bigoted stereotypes.

You can never be a million times better than any quota system products, I wonder why you easterners love to ignorantly deceive yourselves. Do you realize that quota system ONLY applies to entry requirements for unity schools (FGCs) which not only are less than 3% of all schools in Nigeria, but are also much better than be mushroom private schools and community secondary schools that are prevalent in the east?

So how can the typical poorly educated, heavily subsidised state/community school product claim to be better than unity school graduates? Or are we not in the same Nigeria?

Do you know brilliant minds like Donald Duke finished from FGC Sokoto?

Why do you have the highest rate of examination malpractice and corrupt exam Miracle centres in the country if you are so bright as you delusionally assumed? Lol. I'm not gonna engage in a d1ck measurement contest with you because not only are you clearly bitter, but that your favorite pastime is foreign to my cultural values of modesty. Bye.

Amen.

I only gave prominent examples. Northern professionals are in their thousands.

If you're bitter that the east didn't enjoy same privileges then I can't help you. All political fingers aren't equal.

Stone03:
You can't give your capability such credit until you stand juxtaposed with your southern colleagues.

The northerners your referenced are just infinitesimal compared to the innumerable southerners that hit a global limelight in their various fields. Yet this is a region that suffers suppression for the sake of your quota system.
You have only Jelani among the host of Engrs produced via quota system, right? Do you want me to mention about 10 names of Engrs from the southeast ranging from auto to aeronautics that are recognized globally?
If southeast had received that pampering quota system given to the north, you will be no where found in the anals of achievement.

slivertongue:
crime is crime. we in central Nigeria are tired of the killings

We are all tired of the killings my brother.

The problem is nobody wants to listen to one another. It's all about grandstanding, bigotry and one-upmanship.

Peace will prevail. God bless Nigeria.

KratosCorp:
It's this kind of silly and pompous statements coming from supposedly educated people that make it abundantly clear that this country is under a diabolical spell or curse.

For some messed up reasons you support the unitary imposition of Sharia Laws in the 12 core northern States (at the expense of the Christian and Southern citizens living in those states). You even support the paramilitary Hisba Police that enforce those Sharia laws - destroying (either by action or policy) the businesses of non Muslims who deal in alcoholic beverages, brothels, and pig farming, etc.

Yet, here you are conjuring false equivalences just because the South seem to have finally mustered the nerve to say no to an archaic and inhuman business model that you guys have used to grab other people's lands, rape their women, and kill their parents and children for centuries. It won't work. Not anymore.

We don't have grazing routes anywhere in the South. We don't have lands for public ranching. If you don't like it then do your worst and quit issuing silly threats.

They said that 80% of the lands in Nigeria are in the north. So common sense demands that you should move the industry to the north and domesticate it there. You can then add industrial value to the herding aspect and develop the value chain. You can then use trucks to export cows and its related finished products to the markets across the South.

This alone will cause a boom in the transport and energy sector and create thousands of direct jobs outside the agricultural sector. However, you won't see that opportunity because your aim is not economic progress but genocidal conquest. But the time for your permanent failure has come. Shame on you all!

Stone03:
Mypikin teething powder led to the death of many innocent children. Fulani herdsmen also led to the death of many innocent citizens.
Please Sir, for the sake of justice which Islam also claims to promote, can we treat Fulani herdsmen the way mypikin product and the manufacturer were treated?
The product was banned to extinction and the company sued and made to pay compensation heavily, are you aware of that Sir?
Why must we pamper the crimes of Fulani herdsmen and punish that of mypikin?

Why would the company be sued and be made to pay compensation heavily while Fulani herdsmen has not been arrested , rather the disgruntled FG is even advocating that they be compensated

I am fully in support of maximum punishment for criminal herdsmen. The problem here is that most southerners have given a blanket condemnation on Fulani herdsmen when the majority are legitimate and non violent.

That said, considering the killings, outdatedness of the practice, and multi-billion dollar potential modern ranching offers, I am in full support of the ban on grazing not just in the south but all over the country.

The issue I raised was the bigotry, gloating & taunting that has accompanied the declaration which is counter productive, could very possibly trigger a reprisal and most likely the trigger of Malami's statement. We can agree on our mutual desire for peace and the sanctity of human life.

Stone03:
No matter how a northern Muslim goes to school, he is still an idiot. Nothing rubbishes a man's intellectual like living all his life defending a baseless and deceitful religion.

To help you out of your stupidity, almost every igbo spare parts dealers has a Union and a constituted taskforce that checkmates fake products and punish any defiant dealer without fear or favor. This is Igbos for you, we don't pamper crime.

How can you compare such organized nation builders to a murderous Myetti Allah that openly admits they they are killers. They killed Agatu villagers, turn many to orphans and widows, burn over 500 buildings and still have the gut to air that they are the perpetrators, to the hearing our so called security forces who are now flexing their useless muscle in the peaceful region of Southeast.
If your beclouded brain will allow you, I think this little tip will help you see light.

funkekemi:
we will soon leave this country where people from a particular section still have outdated reasoning ability in this 21centuty

hedonido:
You shouldn't waste time 'reasoning' with these people. They're worse than animals, regardless of their level of education or the plenty English they purport to speak. They're all hopelessly retarrded and impossible to reason with.

Stone03:
Any product of Quota System is a retard because he can't stand any competition and a mediocre who can't come close where meritocracy rules.

What a self disservice

Unfortunately you are very wrong and probably honestly ignorant.

Professor Ibrahim Abubakar was just appointed Dean of Public Health at University College London. Engr. Jelani Aliyu is a globally acclaimed GM electric car inventor. Professor Usman Yusuf is one of the few Professors of Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant in Africa, among many others. Even my humble self have come out tops and led several international teams I've participated in which include Chinese, British and other nationalities and so have some of my siblings. Your understandable bias against Quota System is total nonsense and I can say that with all authority.

kcnwaigbo:
Oga we are waiting for your empty threats!! Bring it on!! Just wait until we commence the ban on squatting during urination

Does that mean you're starting with your sisters?

Stop being disrespectful to women.

Your brain must be under your Anus if you still can't decipher that while in full support of the timely ban, I'm addressing the political and ethno-religious undertones of the ban and its consequences.

I will not join you on the race to the bottom no matter how hard you try and trust me, the last thing you want to contest is my brain. I'm trying hard not to sound immodest but trust me on that.

KUNTA007:
Guy I am really sorry but you need to be shot on the head. Let me try bring you up a bit. I am not an Igbo and I leaved all my life in the northern part of Nigeria.

I understand all your allegations but think of it like this. An Igbo man comes to the north rents or buys a shop, first he has contributed to the economy of that state by feeding the family of the owner of the shop who is definitely a northerner. Now you noticed he is bringing in fake products with that common sense, you will not patronise him again after he has spent two years without costumers no one will tell him to leave or change the line of business. But he has been there for almost 20 years doing same thing according to you and you keep buying from them willingly cos an Igbo man will never use AK 47 to force you to enter his shop to buy spare parts or drugs. You see why I said northerns don’t have common sense not to talk of sense?
But the Fulani will take your land by force. Have you ever had a Fulani man renting or buying land? They instead of contributing to the economy of the state still destroy their farms kill them and you are here debating it. Bro grow brain abeg.
I DONT KNOW YOUR AGE BUT IT SEEMS YOU GUYS ARE NOT GROWING WITH YOUR BRAINS

I remain KUNTA fighting for freedom

QuotaSystem:
Nobody has the monopoly of bigoted madness concealed under the toga of insecurity. There will surely be consequences.

Idiko1:
The picture is not retreading of a tire but adding groove to a worn out tire. [/b]It is done in auto racing where none grooved tires are made to have a grip or traction. You can go to Amazon and get simple instruments to groove a tire. [b]Most Nigerians have silly education.

Stop disgracing whatever school you dropped out from.

No wonder you people think it's good business and have been causing accidents and endangering the lives of innocent Nigerians.

kcnwaigbo:
Who surrendered? You should have been a comedian!! Was it not your tomatoe farmers who were on the verge of suicide before they shamefully called off the strike?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLqi_tBr7oI

kcnwaigbo:
Oga stop displaying naked cowardice!! Go ahead and ban trading of spare parts and drugs in the North

Again. Nobody is impulsive and predictable like ipob urchins.

kcnwaigbo:
Oga go ahead and start implementing whatever plan your people have.If you fail to carry it out ,you will be outed as cowards

kcnwaigbo:
We are watching.BTW henceforth any stray cow found in the South will be used for pepper soup

That's the typical rant of the average SEasterner just before they commence their age old culture of victim playing.

Nobody is impressed. After so much boasting, is it not FOOD blockade that made you surrender last time and you started crying genocide?

I'm done.

kcnwaigbo:
Oga go to court.You can even come with your Quotasystem SAN to prove this your illogical position

Just watch.

kcnwaigbo:
Capital lie!! Your Quotasystem SAN Malami could not even realise the right to freedom of movement enshrined in the constitution does not apply to cows!! Very dull set of people

And the cows are not herded by humans with that right?

You see why I said the typical ipob is dumb, dense and unintelligent? Lol.

If you want to come at me, don't dare use education or intelligence as your parameters because I will disgrace you. Stop wasting my time.

nedu666:
In your bid to sound intelligent, you ended up making an absolute fool of yourself.

Is spare parts produced in nigeria?

What do you mean by fake spare parts?

Are tyres produced in nigeria?

Explain the meaning of retreaded tyres? Since you are trying to sound intelligent.

Who told you my pikin drug was produced in the east?

This is why all the nothern states are ranked educationally disadvantaged since 1978.

Yes. Many fake spare parts are produced in the East.

Was mypikin that killed over 80 innocent Nigerian babies manufactured in the North?

Rethreaded tires also. I even posted a pic but you were still not intelligent enough to decipher what that meant.

If you still don't know what that means, it is another indictment of the appalling low standard of education in the SE which even your exam miracle centres have not been able to hide, as evidenced by the horde of illiterate brainwashed zombies following and dying for Lamidi Cownu without asking the most basic of questions.

Watch the video of tyres being rethreaded and tell me if that was in the north.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/naijadriva./2019/10/31/man-shared-video-on-how-old-bad-tires-are-made-new/amp/

kcnwaigbo:
Empty threats!! Commence the ban immediately.Any further delay will make you look like cowards

Relax.

Arewa did not become a political behemoth by being impulsive. That's a typical trait of IPOBs.

Whoube99:
Thank you for the correction sir

You're welcome.

wordcat:
He is a product of QuotaSystem.
About 90% Northerners in position of power in this country are QuotaSystem products

Yet quota system products are brighter, more articulate, enlightened, concise, restrained & well rounded than the barely literate, unexposed, ignorant, acerbic & pugnacious ipob school dropouts that pervade this forum

If you weren't ignorant and a mascot for all hitherto described, you'd know that ALL the cries of the SE to be gifted Presidency despite being politically handicapped on the basis of never holding the office is Quota System at its best

QuotaSystem is a privilege of political power and that's why I chose it as a moniker; to demonstrate that it is not a lack of cerebral prowess, but a tribute to the political sagacity of Arewa
