Warship:
Go and study more about Singapore success.


They were also colonized by the British

If you were in Singapore, you won't be posting the thing you post on nairaland.

You suggested a study on Singapore, I therefore urge that you do that yourself.

Here is a bit of what you will discover.

'The Government (of Singapore) is generally perceived to be competent in managing the country's economy and largely free from political corruption. On the other hand, it has been criticized for using unfair election tactics, violating freedom of speech and its excessive use of the death penalty (by hanging) for non-violent crimes.'

Do you think the average Nigeria will survive here?

I understand how “this very significant judgment will usher in an effective and capable opposition that would contribute meaningfully to governance and bring Nigeria out of the present recession," but what I don't understand is how it will "contain various agitations in country,” Were these agitations for PDP? Sincerely, I don't understand.

mars123:
See his mouth like another nationality loading...come put Cameroon flag join, even Uganda that have ban make up and slim fitted trousers. just go straight to the point and put Biafra flag let us hear word.

My brother I tire for some Nigerians o.

Na so we go compare ourselves with other countries meanwhile, we no go fit bear watin thier citizens dey bear.

Yyeske:
Bless you too, if only these guys know what is going on here. Let's all die so they can have the Biafra In pieces

God won't let it get to that level but I wonder why people don't learn from others.
Each time I see the IDPs in the North - people who had thier homes, property, lands etc, living in camps and surviving on aids for years now, exposed to all forms of inhuman and humilating conditions, my heart bleed.
Warri in Delta State was bubbling with economic activities with several companies, but today, most of those companies had fled leading to higher unemployments for the ordinary men while the other boys are now living large.
Akwa Ibom State today is doing everything to make Mobile relocate thier HQ to the state because of the economic viability that while bring but for fear of violence, the coy is finding it hard to do that.

I believe anyway, God will see us through.

myright:
instead of starving yourself in the name of fasting, why not tell buhari to announce a date for a referendum. Why do africa like disturbing Baba God when they could actually solve their problem

Since you can solve the problem, why don't you go ahead and deliver us all from this pending doom be it in Nigeria or Biafra?

Have you ever being angry and you took a decision believing that was the right thing to do or you don't care whatever the outcome of your action would be, but regrets rather too late when the consequence of your 'I don't care whatever happens' decision finally hits you?

Sometimes it is better to be a 'coward' and die a peaceful death than to be a brave man a die for nothing.

Yyeske:
If you live in the SE, interact with some elderly people and you feel the fear and anxiety in them. Some don't sleep much again because they are always "agha daa kita kwanu" What if war breaks out now. All I do is just to reassure them.
I don't like being abusive on nairaland but had to because of the health problems it's causing in the older generation is becoming noticeable

Continue your good work bro and may God bless your peaceful soul!

dlondonbadboy:
Oga, the oginis, the ikweres and the ndomas you mentioned are they not smaller ethnic groups in BIAFRA land?
Wait, why didn't you mention the yorubas and the Hausas which are the other two major ethnic group?

...smaller ethnic groups in BIAFRA land?...
Don't let them catch you o!

As for 'the other two major ethnic group(s), ehn, you people have 'shared' Nigeria na...however, not equally.

dlondonbadboy:
Referendum! You cannot mix water and oil and expect anything homogenous. Let the hyenas and hyenanas decide what they want..simple.

Wait, be honest to your self and whatever you hold sacred, are the Igbos marginalized?

I will try my best to be fair but I wish I have an idea of your concept of marginalization.

The Igbos are 'marginalied.' Ok accepted. What about the Ibibios, Ogonis, Ikweres, Binis, Itshekiris, Ndomas etc.?

dlondonbadboy:
Must everything be all war war with you guys? Nawa o

No. Everything must not be war and I wish it won't get there. But, tell me, sincerely if you could read the signs, where do you think this hate speeches will eventually lead us all?

Btw, if the pictures the op posted depicts the conditions of the two regions represented, why the cry for marginalization?

Why are we doing this for Heaven's sake?
Why so much hatred and bitterness?
Why are we bent on destroying this Nation along with the innocent and peace loving minority from all tribes and regions?
We might be enjoying our freedom to express ourselves now espcially through social media platforms, but truth is, when the chips are down, our phones and every other facility we may have now become irrelevant. Then the bravest and strongest of us could only watch helplessly as his loved ones slowly fades away.

The eye is only at peace because something has not fallen into it!

Piiko:
Someday I am going to govern my state Ebonyi

A big amen to your heart desire

NwaAmaikpe:


So sowing of seeds did not start today?


The last time my pastor asked us to sow seeds in church
I packed up all my used boxers, packaged them and sowed them to his life


Since then; my life turned upside down around for good.
Since then, my preek will always stand at attention once I step foot in the church.

Bros. Ur mata no be here o!

Fine let's assume the Senate is corrupt.

EFCC with an acting chairman may be technically incompetent to bring cases before a court.

What this means is they will lose more cases and because of this and double jeopardy, very corrupt individuals will walk free never to be charged again.

The insistence on Magu suggests somebody somewhere needs technical 'whitewashing' by the courts to give him or her a new lease of life in 2019.

Who taught you this? Where did you get your idea from? Going by your logic, any document the Ag. President signs is invalid, including the 2017 budget and he cannot prosecute any matter in any court in Nigeria.

Danzakidakura:
i am learning one day I will become Nigeria president ,I will exhume Buhari carcass and still sentence him to death .

Bros, na so the thing reach?

TheFreeOne:
Is magu the only Nigerian with capacity to run EFCC?

Magu is just an overrated policeman and his likes shouldn't be in charge of such institutions but if Buboo can be president then it's not surprising.

Nigeria need strong institutions not 'strong men' with gra gra attitudes who keeps losing court cases back to back.

No doubt, Magu is not the only Nigerian with the capacity to run the EFCC but what's the ground for rejecting him? DSS report? Is DSS report a court conviction? Why is Saraki who is standing trial for alleged forgery still the Senate President? If Magu has failed thier integrity test, has Saraki or the chief agitator, Melaye passed thesame test?
On building strong institutions. Yes, Nigeria needs strong institutions and not strong individuals, but did you know anything about NAFDAC until Dora came? Did you hear anything about EFCC during the last administration that built strong institutions?
If they're honest, let them remove Saraki then Magu will go.

CROWNWEALTH019:
Mr darkness stop speaking grammar and resign if you can't do the work

Na grammar we wan chop

Northerners no get joy

Sango and thunder fall on fashola for bringing darkness to naija



They keep saying fashola is a sound SAN, yet he has not won any major case. I need someone to list the number of major cases he has won as a lawyer.


Cc: sarrki Goke7

Hatred and bitterness only end up blinding us keep us perpetually on the defensive. Little wonder the scripture says we should love those who hate us and pray for those who persecute us.
The igbos say Hausas marginalize them while the Yorubas betray them. Now Fashola wants to
ensure the second Niger bridge is at least started and power generation improved but you attack him and take side with the Senate just because of hatred for the President.
What goes round comes around!

Nbote:
All of U ranting about how rotten d judiciary is or how Dino has d judiciary in his pockets, what was d credibility of d recall in d first place?? U dont see anything wrong in a Governor who has done absolutely nothing at all going all out to orchestrate the so called recall of a senator but yet there's something wrong because d senator is fighting back?? SMH

That's the essence of the verification exercise.
It is INEC's constitutional duty to thoroughly verify the signature of the petitioners to ensure there is no foul play.

I truly don't understand Nigerians. We complain about the state of things in Nigeria, always saying our politicians are taking us for a ride. Now the people, either sponsored or not, who voted someone into power in the first place now 'wants' to recall the person and the court wants to override the right of people.

THE POSITIVE SIDE OF NNAMDI KANU’S AGITATION ON NIGERIA GENERALLY by Princewill.
The present state of things in the Nation has raised a lot of tension, questions and ‘think tank’ all geared towards finding a way to peacefully handle the agitating from NK and his IPOB.
For the lack of space and time, I will go straight to the topic before us and try very hard to be fair and objective in my presentation. Some of the positive effect of the agitation include;
1. Highlighting the consequences of injustice and inequality
Any society were people feel marginalized and cheated will definitely know no true peace. Injustice and inequality have been the other of the day in Nigeria and it has gone unchallenged for too long. In my opinion, the Igbos might be selfish and are probably overrating themselves in Nigeria. Nigeria as it stands today is ‘shared’ among the three major ethnic groups as if other tribes do not have a place in the Nation. However, NK’s agitation hinges on the perceived marginalization of the Igbos. He has cashed into the general ‘hatred’ for the Nigerian government to reach the heart of the people and this has brought to the fore the evil consequence of injustice and inequality in the Nation.
2. Highlighting the power of the people in governance
No doubt, the power of the people in Nigeria had been traded for ‘consumables’ and eroded to the point that those in governance had, overtime, wrongly believed they could do whatever they want and get away with it. But since the emergence of NK, the support he has garnered from the people at the grassroot has almost robbed not only the Eastern Governors of their influence, but also pushed the FRN to a tight corner. It would have been worst if NK were fighting for all Nigerians and not just for his people. His agitation has clearly shown the power belongs to the people and not the ‘power drunk’ leaders.
3. Awakening of the consciousness of the place of youths in society
Across the Nation and indeed African, there is a renewed consciousness of the place of the youths in society. Before now, government at all levels had been paying lip service to youth empowerment and involvement in government. As we speak, the ongoing AU summit was organized to discourse the empowerment and involvement of youths in governance.
I believe NK’s agitation and the massive followership he enjoys from the youths have made government at all levels realize that the youths may have been dormant for long but a little trigger (which they may have gotten in NK), could be dangerous. It is time therefore to look deeply into the possible ways of running a government of youth inclusiveness or risk a revolution the might sweep across the Nation.
4. Proven the fact that patience and tolerance have limit
Ordinarily, the goat does not bite but when pushed too far, could bite. The people had been patient with the government and have tolerated their ‘failures’ for too long. The present agitation is pulling so much influence, not necessarily because of NK’s personality but because the people had been pushed beyond their ‘elastic limits.’ Even our government can’t deny this fact anymore. Whatever group or organization we find ourselves, we must remember that there is a limit to what people can bear. In human relations, nothing is as dangerous as bottled-up but active negative emotions.
In conclusion, I have my reservations about NK and I don’t support his secession plan, but he deserves some commendation. His ability to know the right people to gather and the right way to reach their hearts and hold them together is commendable. Also, his agitation has shaken Nigeria to her root and the government, I believe, now knows they can’t hold the people to ransom again.
History won’t forget him but if I were him, I will listen to the various calls from other groups and soft pedal now, because no matter how strong a man may be, he can’t succeed when the people start leaving one after the other. It is easier to win a battle in a ‘wider space’ than in a ‘chocked space.’ An enemy outside is easier to defeat than an enemy within.
Let’s look at our strengths and the things that bind us together as we strive to overcome our weaknesses and eradicate those things that pull us asunder!

owobokiri:
This very generation of igbos represented by this man is the worst in igbo history.. I mean the utterly useless Ekweremadu, Rochas, Andy Ubah, Uzoh Kalo and co generation. The generation before them fought gallantly during the war. The generation after them is now fighting for freedom. On the contrary, Ekweremmadus stupid generation fought for no cause. They dined and wined with the worst igbo oppressors known in this country. As far as i am concerned, the Ekweremmadus of this world should just go and die. They should stop interjecting themselves in the renewed struggle for igbo emancipation. They have no valeu to add other than corruption, cowardice and stupidity. That useless generation of igbos should just go and die..

'That useless generation of igbos should just go and die..' Do you have a father? If you do, I believe he might be part of that generation. Now if all the notable, educated, highly placed Igbo men, home and abroad have cautioned the way this agitation is going and all the young, inexperienced, hot-blooded men do is insult them and tag them as 'sabos', who do you have left? What do make of a Nation built on 'tigbu-tigbu...zogbuo-zogbuo?'
Why don't you channel this same energy to holding your Governors to account for thier stewardship and provide quality leadership for the people. This is the time to build our home.
What exactly is the FGN taking away from the East? If we can't develop now that we are given 'free monthly allocations', what guarantee do you have that we will do better when we don't get such extra income?
I think it is time to keep sentiments aside and be realistic. We can avoid unnecessary hardship and death by soft pedalling now that we have gotten the attention we need.

AtlanticBreeze:
This will set a very bad precedent.

How is that, please?

What I find difficult to understand is despite the lesson this post teaches, people still find it convenient to make all forms of disparaging and derisive statements forgetting that, as it was and is with PMB that's how it is with us.
My people would say; 'the day you judge another man's matter is the day you've judged yours.' I wish we could learn this life's lesson.

Ehiscotch:
Nigeria would just be nosediving into more problems.
Restructuring or creation of more states is not the solution to our problems.

Proper Education, re orientation & good governance is.
Nigeria has so many ethnic groups. Are we gonna give each ethnic group their own state?

I couldn't agree any less. The solution, I concur, is the proper blend of those key elements mentioned.

You sabi school.

I don't think there's any other area (apart from where my sister stays in Asaba) that enjoys light like we do. You can be sure of light any day, any time.
If you doubt that, please come to Calabar-Itu area in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State

cjrane:
Silly man.
I am Anioma from Delta state and I AM IGBO. We are NOT minority in Delta state.

The days of your stupendous argument to rob us using your silly divide and rule and drawing illegal boundaries through states creation are over

I don't think you even realize that the old tricks can no longer work. So try harder.

And I am from Kwale in Delta State, a people also referred to as minorities, but truth is, even in the core Eastern states, there are those considered minorities.
I don't think the average person from my tribe supports self-determination just like it is with a few from the East.
I sincerely believe we will come out of all this stronger no matter where the pendulum swings to.
Pleased meeting you bro!

yemmight:
This guy do scam these people so deep. What happened in the North where some idiots will ask some people who want to enjoy virgins in heaven start killing themselves has started happening in the East. What I know is that no idiot in south will call himself small god and people will be worshiping him.

My brother, the Igbos must have said the same thing before now.
The way things are going, I am afraid I might not agree with you that 'no idiot in south will call himself small god and people will be worshiping him.'
Anything is possible in Nigeria.

OkoYibo:
Are you aware that a Presidential commendation is one of the things money can not buy?

Keep saying 'drop something' like those policemen in Benue that arrest wheelbarrows for overloading.

Please tell me you are joking. Do Policemen do that, I mean...arrest wheelbarrows for overloading?

The worst harm is about to result from a 'good' intention.
NK is about to set his kinsmen against themselves instead of Nigeria.
If I were him, I will lie low now while restrategizing. I think he has succeeded in attracting the attention of the FG to the SouthEast, but I guessing, further moves from him will cause a conflict not between the Igbos and Nigeria, but within the Igbo Nation.

lustychima:
I appreciate ur effort in trying to explain

But pls do it in english

Why are you like this na

xstry:
cownu should enjoy the attention he's getting while it lasts. He will be the cause of his own undoing , you'll say I told you

I completely agree with you.
I also think there's no need to try him again.
He has set himself up for failure by going against even his own.

dudebuck:
Fools, ENGAGE NNAMDI KANUNIN A DEBATE, IF YOU DEFEAT HIM, THEN I WILL STOP ASSOCIATING WITH HIM. How hard can that be? He is busy presenting facts and figures and you are busy calling him names.

Facts and figures such as; 99.9% of our Igbo ladies are prostitutes, any Igbo man attending a church pastored by a Yoruba man is an slowpoke and not fit to be considered a human being.
When 2face tried to organise a national mega rally, Nigerians accross tribes and religion were ready to join. Why? Because every Nigerian - all the regions can't truely say any government at any level is living up to its bidding.
But NK's case is different. He insults everybody and anybody while he is the Angel.
I can assure you that if NK is engaged in a debate right now, he will mess up big time because he's been overwhelmed and blinded with hate.

In my opinion, Nigeria has been '(re)structured' into 36 states and a FCT. The problem with Nigeria isn't necessarily its present structure but its citizens.
Take the Niger Delta for instance, there is the Ministry of Niger Delta, NDDC, OPADEC, Amnesty programme and then, constituency projects from all our National Assembly members. Yet we are where we are.
I see no reason a Governor should not focus and develop his state without the intervention of the Federal government.
The problem of Nigeria is Nigerians.

bantudra:
all nigerians are animals....even the igbos....that halfcast from london even called 99.9% igbo women prostitutes!!!..

and those moronic igbos accepted the insult!!!!!!...

imagine!!!!....

I couldn't imagine NK saying 99.9% of Igbo ladies are prostitutes and when one Uche from radio Biafra tried to debunk that, he insisted he said so based on facts. This is pathetic!
I like brave men but being brave isn’t just to display courage in the face of challenges or danger; it is also in facing yourself – the power to acknowledge when you are right and wrong.
