Beautiful thread. I'm H/F but I have been told I look Kenyan or Somalian, but never Nigerian; which could explain why you might miss us. There are lots of Hausa's in the UK - especially around Birmingham, Manchester, Pompey and London, however our quiet ways make us less conspicuous, and the tendency is that you hardly find a hausa person who went to 'hustle' in the UK. In fact, the impression over here is if you're Hausa, you're loaded. Ask the Zim girls  |

Justcash: I am from the SOUTH EAST. The SOUTH EAST "cannot" be relegated to the background in NIGERIAN political affairs, no matter how much you try. So, I am absolutely fine with whoever emerges. However, you echoed my exact view about the South South being in poo if they lose. Unfortunately, the SE has the most to lose if the APC wins the elections next month (which is evidently quite likely) as it is the only region that has not been politically strategic enough to spread its eggs across all relevant baskets. Whats even more puzzling is that the PDP is led and governed by other regions so one wonders the basis of SE loyalty to the party.
You can now see that the region needs no one to relegate it to the background as it does an excellent job of self-inflicted irrelevance. Thankfully, progressive minded Igbos are striving to buck this trend by aligning with the quest for change, with the knowledge that we all have to synergise and leverage on our collective strength in building a better Nigeria. |

If GEJ was a not a sectional president that foolishly showed favouritism and promoted ethno-religious bigotry, he and his supporters would not be running from their shadows, with the knowledge that they have stepped on fingers on their way to the top. Going by your assertions, the SS will perpetually be in trouble unless it maintains it's grip on the reins of power indefinitely. Lie on your bed of tribal and religious hatred, you made it yourself.

PvtParts: At least you agreed that the north has an advantage over other regions with respect to the quota system! I never disputed that. The point is the quotas allocated are mutually exclusive, so it doesn't translate to the south being disadvantaged. |

IGBOSON1: ^^^So if as you claim, all Regions, states, ethnicities have the educated/trained manpower to fill any and all positions asked of them......if you're implying we all can compete on a level playing field, why then are the retrogressive policies of quota-system and federal character still retained!? While it might be premature to suggest the system had outlived its usefulness, the results of the system can be seen in our ministries, faculties and hospitals. The probable reason is because there is still a fair proportion of the population that has some catching up to do. |
Politics › Re: Buhari: A Need To End Mediocrity And Quota System. by Rawani: 2:00pm On Jan 06, 2015 |
PvtParts: As long as a skewed quota system that relegates academic excellence then the north has an advantage.
Let me give you an example how this skewed system works
There was a scientific organization that needed 50 graduates to fill vacancies due to retirement of long serving staff.
Owing to quota system requirement, the director general wrote to all the state governors requesting they submit list of candidates.
The northern governors could not meet the least minimum requirement in the relevant field being a scientific field but owing to quota system the vacancies for the north had to be changed to accommodate their qualification and as such the agency recruited admin staff alongside that of the required scientists. The north supplied admin staff.
The consequences of this is that the agency did not get the required number of scientist but got bugged down with more support staff.
This same agency if merit was the guiding principle would have employed more scientists to fill their vacum! Unfortunately that's a weak analogy as the North has never lacked skilled personnel regardless of discipline. There are hundreds of thousands of Northern professionals including doctors, engineers, accountants, architects etc. (including I, my dad and sisters) working within and outside the country. When educational disadvantage is spoken about regarding the North, it is in respect to the proportion of educated northerners compared to the uneducated ones, not that there are no educated or skilled northerners. It is therefore clear why your analogy doesn't hold water. Keep in mind also that the fact that the North has an advantage under the quota system does not automatically translate to the south being disadvantaged. |
Politics › Re: Buhari: A Need To End Mediocrity And Quota System. by Rawani: 12:32pm On Jan 06, 2015 |
PvtParts: At the detriment of thousands of southerners aspiring through education and hardwork.
The north wants to eat their cake and have it. It's not to the South's detriment as it does not affect your allocated quota. |
Politics › Re: Buhari: A Need To End Mediocrity And Quota System. by Rawani: 11:23am On Jan 06, 2015 |
PvtParts: And whose fault is it that the north remains or rather chose to be ignorant?
The only way to revamp the education sector in the north is by removing the subsidy that rewards mediocrity which is the quota system! The North as a result of the influence of religion, emphasised Koranic education as opposed to western education, which is why it is quite difficult to find a northern muslim child without Koranic education. This is a major reason why it is not at par educationally with other regions, which were also influenced by a different religion that promoted a different kind of education (missionaries that established western schools). If that system was not balanced, the south would have dominated the north due to that imbalance in educational penetration. |

When did Catholic Bishops start announcing their disciplinary actions against their own priests to you? I know this because it was not in the news, and they would have mentioned any prior disciplinary action in their latest statement. If they did, the question is why they chose to respond in public when the message was against GEJ, but privately when against Buhari despite protests by the opposition at the time. Are they partisan? |

What rubbish? The source was a Catholic faithful Since when can an ordinary church goer represent the entire Catholic Church? That could be a disgruntled paid TANdroid for all we know. Monimatic: The Catholic Church has washed its hands off the ongoing controversy over the strong criticism of President Goodluck Jonathan by Rev Father Ejike Mbaka of Adoration Ministries in Enugu, accusing him of double-speaking.
The church said it did not authorise Mbaka to speak on its behalf, insisting that it is wrong for Mbaka to endorse the president and later warn the electorate not to vote for him during the February 14 presidential poll.
The church added that it did not have an official position on whose candidate the Catholic faithful should vote for, saying that as the largest Christian group, it is illogical for it to direct members to vote for certain candidates as the voters have the prerogative to exercise their inalienable rights in such a situation.
[size=14pt]A catholic faithful, Mr Callistus Ebue, disclosed this during an interview with LEADERSHIP last night in Enugu.[/size]
He said, “The Catholic Church did not authorise Rev Father Mbaka to speak on its behalf. There is no way the church, with millions of its members, make a pronouncement on who to vote for during the February 14 presidential election. The church does not have an official position in this regard. The decision to vote for any candidate is the prerogative right of the church faithful just like any other Nigerian.”
While some of the Catholics in Enugu argue that Mbaka might have been led by the Holy Spirit in his pronouncement over Jonathan’s re-election bid, others said that the cleric ought not to have dabbled into the murky waters of politics.
The Catholic bishop of Enugu Diocese, Rev Dr Calistus Onaga, could not be reached at the time of filing this report last night.

kelvin100: Quick questions:
1:Does it mean that attending an institution is equivalent to obtaining a certificate/degree?
2: What is stipulated in the constitution? Attendance or a certificate?
3: Will this now set a precedence that I can now apply for that job I like that requires a Doctorate Degree because I can present a verifiable list of my classmates though I didn't graduate? Do you know what a plaque is?
A person that did not succeed in his mission will not be celebrated with such a permanent fixture as a plaque which is displayed on prominent structures. He is also listed above the list of graduates on the plaque which suggests pre-eminence or a higher honor than a graduate.
