Shekochild:
If that be the case, why not start referring to the south as north, west as east, woman as man, dog as wolf, ant as termite and what have you...? This is the problem with Nigeria... when an irregularity is identified and pointed out, we create a defense mechanism around it instead of acknowledging it. No wonder we are so backward in many ways...we don't see things as they are or base on logic and common sense. We love to be unconventional in every way of our reasoning...
It is clear you're not getting the point here. I'm not trying to ridicule your argument.

All the example you gave of a Man being called a woman, wolf-termite etc still doesn't invalidate what I opined.
What if it is discovered and agreed tomorrow that Man was suppose to be called a Woman, and a Wolf is suppose to be called a termite.

What if scientists tomorrow discover that the West is actually the East, and the South is actually the North, would you still make a case for what you're saying now??

Like I said before, people give names to things when the NEED arises, and it must not necessarily mean something in English because English is not the only phenomenon in the world.
Nigeria can equally name things when the need arises

FYI, The words WEST and EAST were not originally English, their roots is in German and Dutch.

Maybe you can go and fight the English people too for referring to a certain part of the world MIDDLE EARTH some hundreds of years ago.

Middle-East, Middle-Earth, ASEAN (Association of South-Eastern Asian Nations) etc.
Maybe new cardinal points needs to be created to accommodate all the above names.

@ OP, can your moniker be found in English?

People give names to things when the need arises. Whether it is not in tandem with English requirements or fails to reflect the cardinal points doesn't invalidate its existence.

What if Nigeria is not a English speaking country, and they named it IJEBU CENTRAL, will you still argue same....

The people living there no longer want to be a part of the others, that's what we should argue and not whether it is English or not
PoliticsRe: It Is Immoral And Illegal To Proscribe Shiites Movement-femi Falana by ReubenE(m):
Buhari himself is a recipe for anarchy.

Nothing new will come out from the next four years, except more death, hopelessness, unrest, strife etc.

A government can change ministers in order to appear new, but change cannot take place in the true sense of the word as long as the ADVISERS remain the same.

We may not like the IMN or Shiites for personal reasons, but this is law. A government cannot disobey a court order which is law by other means, then turn around to apply that law to same people that they have cheated.

Evil/injustice in Nigeria is always supported by a section of the countr, but one thing is certain, evil or injustice will always find those that refuse to speak up or condemn it when they have the means to do so.

Maybe we are not watching, PROTEST is now a terrorist offense in Nigeria as it is currently being suggested by the Nigerian government. Those that their voices deserve to be heard, those that continue to suffer injustice in the hands of those elected to protect them will one day rise in unison.

Our Judiciary, is it even a Judiciary? It is more or less a night club where the finest strippers always get what they want....
If not, why would a Judge grant the prayers of a government that has refused to obey the order of another Judge.
It was suppose to be simple, go and obey court order before you can have this one.

Shiites may not be who we want them to be, but this is law, this is a democracy where every interest, every life, opinions and by extension, every rights count.

A government cannot tell the people how to behave in a Democracy, it is only the LAW that can do that...

PoliticsRe: Buhari Has Turned Nigeria To The Headquarters Of Fulanis In Africa - Okurounmu by ReubenE(m): 6:57am On Jul 11, 2019
Not very far from the truth.

These Fulanis, and indeed Northerners are very funny.

Able bodied men are finding it extremely difficult to feed, yet they cut of limbs of majorly poor men and women for committing crimes that they are not properly tried.
They find their way down South, and all our streets are filled with beggars. What kind of Religion and mentality is that? A religion and mentality that doesn't care for the people......

They claim to have more lands, which is indeed true, with more farmlands, yet their cows eat up more crops in the South.

Before now, the solution was RUGA, now it is animal census.
How will animal census prevent people from rustling cows?
How will counting animals prevent them from moving into farmlands to destroy the farms?

The CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA count our monies, yet the monies still go missing......

Any government that pays deaf ear to this menace is also a terrorist like them.

PoliticsRe: Police Hunt For Shiite Members, Arrest Scores by ReubenE(m): 5:12pm On Jul 09, 2019
This is suppose to be a democratic State.

Any government and its agents that denies her citizens the democratic right to criticise, register their displeasure through protest is a terrorist government.

Any citizen that criticise other citizens for registering their displeasure with any government policy they believe is wrong is also a terrorist.

It is very painful for government to take the life of your friends or loved ones while you lack the power to do anything. No one to take to court, no one to hold responsible.

At last, the victim takes to arm to terrorise others too. That is exactly where Nigeria is today

Aljmusa300:
Ijaw has 4 wards in Warri South West , Itsekiri has six wards. Do the maths your self
This your pattern of mathematics will not lead us anywhere because we don't know the individual identity of each voter, whether they are Ijaw or Itsekiri. The closest we can do is to draw conclusion from the ethnic spread over the local government.

It would be wrong for anyone to believe that all the Ijaw voters in Warri-South West voted for Atiku because of James Manager.
If the above is said about the governorship election, then it may not be far from the truth.

My brother, the highest votes APC got from Delta South Senatorial District in the Presidential Election was from Warri-South West Local Government....over Forty Three Thousand Votes. Again, the votes PDP got from Delta South Senatorial District in the Gubernatorial Election was from same Warri-South West Local Government. Connect the lines here and see what this truly means.

Even if I want to allude to your argument that APC performed well in Warri-South West because of the influence of Oduaghan and the Itsekiris in the Presidential election, how come Warri-South West returned the highest number of votes for the PDP in the Gubernatorial election, more than all the other Local Governments in Delta State despite the supposed influence of Oduaghan and the Itsekiris in Warri-South Westhuh

Ponder over this
PoliticsRe: Buhari Set Time Bomb In Delta APC As Party Faithfuls Spoil For War by ReubenE(m): 11:05am On Jul 07, 2019
Datazone:
I don't think you even know the total votes from these various local government during the last election. How can you say the total APC votes in Ijaw areas is more than Itsekiri and other ethnic areas when we all know that Urhobos are more than Ijaws in Delta and being that Manager and Otuaro are PDP candidates, the Ijaws will pile up their votes for PDP.
I think you should read my comment again. If I remember correctly, our discourse here is centred on Delta South Senatorial District, and not population comparison between Ijaws and Urhobos in Delta State.

Urhobo ethnic nationality is majorly found in Delta Central, if you are from Delta state, I'm sure you will know this.

APC got more votes from Warri-South West Local in Delta South, and that Local Government is controlled by Ijaws

Aljmusa300:
I don't think you understand the configuration of Delta South. Delta South has Itsekiri, Isoko, Urhobo and Ijaw. PMB got the highest votes in Delta from the Itsekiri, Isoko and Urhobo areas of Delta South.
Sorry to say that you're the one that don't really understand the configuration of Delta State.
The votes from the local governments populated by the Itsekiris, Isokos, and others in Delta South were not up to one local government populated by the Ijaws.

Warri-South West LGA that is controlled by the Ijaws had more votes than Warri-North (Itsekiris), Warri-South (Itsekiris, Urhobo, Ijaws), Isoko-North, and Isoko-South.

The above excludes votes APC got from other Ijaw dominated LGAs like Burutu, Patani, and Bomadi in same Delta South Senatorial District.

Even Governor Okowa had more votes from Warri-South West LG than his own local government area
