Romance › Re: A South African Guy Married To A Nigerian Lady by Shattuck(m): 7:38pm On Feb 15, 2025
Samantha125:
And she looks South African... Like I wouldn't have guessed that she's Nigerian if she didn't say it... At first I thought maybe one of her parents is South African and she grew up here in SA, but turns out that both her parents are Nigerians living in Nigeria.
how do Nigerians look? Because I see folks who look like her here, why do you assume she does not look Nigerian?

Politics › Re: Tinubu Recounts How Obaseki Frustrated Establishment Of Obstetric Fistula Centre by Shattuck(m): 7:59pm On Feb 12, 2025
PressMyButton:
This is how some narrow-minded Governors mess up their states, just because of election, you refused a federal hospital, first of its kind in the SS, so that your opponents won't use it to campaign for votes. At the end of the day, the good people of Edo have sent you away. Obaseki must be regretting right now, no wonder he ran away from Edo before hand over date.



After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria
foolish talk, what was obaseki suppose to do for them, finance the project? Saying he refused the project is just stupid talk how did he refuse the federal govt? If the fg wanted to build an hospital all they need to is acquire a location and build.
Politics › Re: Ganduje To Northern Politicians: Drop Your 2027 Presidential Ambitions by Shattuck(m): 8:43am On Feb 12, 2025
AMINDA:
I am a big fan and student of his school of leadership and unapologetically so. He alone made me mobilise and vote for Tinubu in 2023 and to see the same people he worked for trying to rewrite history and make him the villain rubs me off the wrong way. I assure you, he doesn't know me nor have we ever met. There are millions like me, I assure you. You seem to underestimate the amount of supporters that the President lost with the shabby treatment of Elrufai. Most are only quiet for now.
ok oh, if you say so, but I doubt if any Nigerian politician have a school of leadership that anyone should emulate, I agree though Tinubu did humiliate el rufai.
Politics › Re: Ganduje To Northern Politicians: Drop Your 2027 Presidential Ambitions by Shattuck(m): 5:57am On Feb 12, 2025
AMINDA:
The Northern politicians Tinubu has surrounded himself with are not inspiring and can barely mobilise northern voters to queue again behind the ticket in 2027. They simply lack the charisma. This was what HRH Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was trying to tell the President recently but he was met with insults. Whether you admit or not, losing Elrufai will turn out to be a strategic mistake.

Just a few words from Elrufai and the whole polity is already in turmoil. Whoever says he's irrelevant is just lieing to himself. The master strategist should have learned to keep friends close and "enemies" even closer, that is if he considered Elrufai an enemy. Elrufai posed no direct threat to Tinubu before now, not until he was embarrassed and continuously hounded. He only posed a threat to fellow Northern APC politicians who are scheming for 2031. The President should have remained neutral and not pick a side, just as Buhari did. Elrufai deserved that. At this point, he has nothing to lose.
seems you are on el rufai's payroll, strange all your contribution is about el rufai.

EmperorCaesar:
cheesy

I thought El-Rufai said he's moved on

Thought he said he was pointblank told PBAT he wasnt interested in a Ministerial post

So why this obsession and childish antics

Svoboda, I agree he helped Tinubu into power, but at this rate, if any Tinubu loyalist attacks Mallam, then he shouldnt be called a betrayer or whatever

He's now playing it the mud and whatever attack he gets is justifiable
see how scared the Ronu miscreants are to attack el rufai.
Business › Re: Elon Musk Leads $97.4 Billion Bid To Take Over OpenAI by Shattuck(m): 9:03pm On Feb 11, 2025
GboyegaD:
The challenge with people like you who follow modern news. Elon Musk like Trump was a core Democrat and only shifted base because they knew what people wanted to hear. Elon Musk's allegiance changed mainly because of his transgendered child and all he is doing is a way of expressing his pain. People like that in my opinion shouldn't be taken serious.
I think the Democratic party has to reform itself, part of me kinda like the Democratic party as I think they are more humane, but there is still another part that can't just subscribe to all or most of what it stands for.

Jayhome24:
Pls direct your advise to my own people from SE in NL they always start tribalism name callings and when others gives it back to them they started claiming victim and marginalisation cry will start or you started hearing Yoruba hate igbo, Bini hate igbo, Hausa hate igbo shit.

Yorubs, Edo, Ijaw have done exceedingly well in so many things outside the country and you won't hear any noise but the moment anybody from SE do just little thing good outside the country the next you will be hearing is igbo amaka, without us nobody else, igbo first, we own the country, we these we that then online trolls will start. I bet you if this young dude Moronfoluwa is igbo some will still attack him for holding Nigeria flag and not Biafra flag.
while I support your message totally, it is also worthy to note that of recent the SW folks have been heavy on chest beating and trolling other ethnic groups too, maybe you aren't one of them but they have been pretty loud these days too.

Politics › Re: All We Need Is One More State For The South East - Ozekhome To Reps by Shattuck(m): 6:03am On Feb 10, 2025
AndroBlaze:
Nigerians are just noisemakers and wasteful people.

Why not take one state from the North and add it to the South to balance the equation as 18+ 18.....are you telling me with all the so called professors we have someone cannot suggest something like adding Benue state to SE and pulling Taraba from NW back to middlebelt.....we are just a country populated with empty vessels.
the call for the creation of more state, is influenced more by ethnic sentiments rather than regional sentiments, the south east(igbos) want one more states in their region, do you think adding benue who aren't igbos to the south east makes sense, while I do agree than some of these states declared as northern states shouldn't be so, but these are secondary
issues, with regard to creation of states the primary concern is bringing tribal and ethnic people under an umbrella ( state) or under an umbrella (region) as in the call by the south east.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Imposes Sanctions On South Africa Over Genocide Case Against Israel. by Shattuck(m): 6:27pm On Feb 08, 2025
JuanDeDios:
I understand shared struggle. I just don't think it's in their NATIONAL INTEREST to go head-on against the US when their position isn't going to make much difference anyway. Note that while supporting the Palestinians who're being mass-murdered by the Israelis (with clear provocation), they're tacitly on the side of Putin, who's mass-murdering Ukrainians (without clear provocation). Because the USSR (whose authority is inherited by Russia but which the Ukraine was also a part of) supported them during apartheid. So history is all that matters?

Well, I hope it all works out well for everyone in the end.
they aren't head on with the US, it is the Trump who just decided to interfere due to its alliance with Isreal, I hope south Africa can navigate this.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Imposes Sanctions On South Africa Over Genocide Case Against Israel. by Shattuck(m): 2:47pm On Feb 08, 2025
JuanDeDios:
Immune from US sanctions? Hehehe.

I strongly disagree with Trump's bullying, but South Africa made a blunder jumping in head first into matters of this nature. There is useful suffering, then there is useless suffering. South Africa's intervention isn't going to save the Palestinians.
you can't really blame south Africa for standing for something, you know during apertheid Palestine supported south africa's ANC in it's struggle and fight for liberation, it is only fair that south africa entend same support, considering their shared struggle against apertheid.

TOPCRUISE:
The EFCC chairman have tried his best. Those condemning him are just been tribalistic, nepotistic and political.
Those Nigerians that defend corrupt leaders but complain about corruption are so much on this forum especially on first page of any corruption scandal.
When the authorities arrest and prosecute these corrupt leaders these set of people rally behind them calling their arrest political and crying the authorities are witch hunting.
tried his best how, why is Betta edu not being persecuted despite overwhelming evidence of grand theft, what about the ganduje case, you can't totally fault Nigerians for calling certain arrest political because it actually is even though I don't support any politician undergoing prosecution, The efcc chairman is kinda worse than his predecessors because he is so hypocritical.

surgical:
I don't know why people are not factoring what you wrote here in their permutations or is that how they don't rate Nigerians or they fill the people don't matter in selecting the leadership
With the abysmal performance of Tinubu so far ,the people eye has opened and I think it not going to be business as usual
we need to also factor in now the nation's already compromised institutions also, overall I think it's too pedestrian to just limit the outcome of the next election to just political friends and foes.
Politics › Re: APC Paid Women For Demonstrations Against Jonathan’s Government - Amaechi by Shattuck(m): 6:49pm On Feb 01, 2025
Deadlytruth:
See how you distort facts? If anything, Oshiomhole was even in support of Jonathan over the removal. In fact Oshiomhole, despite being in the opposition, was the only governor that openly came out in public to defend Jonathan over the subsidy removal in 2012. None of the PDP governors from the SE or SS was bold enough to do what Oshiomhole did and none of you Jonathan fans could call them out.
Then where did you ever see Buhari in the streets protesting against the subsidy removal back then? It was only after he became the APC flag bearer in 2015 that he criticized subsidy in response to journalists' question during a press interview. Then when did Tinubu enter the streets to protest against subsidy? Most of you GEJ supporters just look for any means possible to demonize Oshiomhole and Tinubu just for political correctness.
you are the only one here trying to distort fact, maybe you don't know what the occupy Nigeria and ojota protest was all about, didn't you see tinubu, oshiomhole, soyinka, protesting against subsidy removal, every adult Nigerian knows this, I wonder how you think you can spin the narrative.

As usual. Blame democrats and Biden and Obama. No mention of the fact that he just fired key personnel in aviation sector just a week before this.

Clueless oaf

If we want to talk about DEI being a bad thing, the fact that an unqualified imp like him is president , voted by similar minded people like him should be a concern for how much value we place on qualifications. He’s not near qualified to even be a representative.
lol he is just trying to change the narrative as quickly as possible, no matter how hard he tries, the firing of key aviation staff does not help him achieve that, no matter how Hard he tries.

Thing is, I have noticed that these guys are just trying to force some nonexistent rivalry. I dont know if it stems from hate or jealousy, but the way they attack Yoruba for any random thing proves they are just forcing things

No worry, some of us are petty enough to keep giving them back to back
you are the one trying to force non existent rivalry, I am neither igbo nor yoruba but based on conversation online you guys are the tribalist, I can list multiple examples to prove the point.

the reason why the south east isn't generating enough tax, I think is due to the govt laid back attitude on tax collection because if we are talking about productivity the south east should be at the top of that conversation and they are also productive too, I see the recent reports on south east tax collection and how some political ass wipes were using it as a political jab, even they know this truth.

xoverx:
University education in public institutions is highly subsidized. The actual cost of training one student runs into millions annually. But the nigerian government's subsidy on education which is not something they shout about allows citizens get cheap tertiary education unlike in so called saner clime where it is far more expensive.

There was subsidy on dollar until it was removed by this administration, there was petroleum subsidy which has also been removed and there is subsidy on electricity which I don't know whether is still existent.

Before you ask questions like this, I think you should first tell us how much tax you pay to government coffers annually, tell us how up to date you are in paying for PHCN (NEPA) bills, which will be the basis of any entitlement mentality.
the question isn't about Nigeria's governance it's about the Tinubu administration, so talking about cheap education, cheap electricity when in fact the prices of these thing has gone really high under the Tinubu administration, I don't think you understand the question.
