budaatum:
We are not just looking at your acquisitions in our community. We have our own tribe chief soandso down the road who has acquired ten times what you have acquired and we'd never ever elect him neither because he has not built his community and shown us what he can do for us so we can see that we need you.

Trust we are intelligent enough to know what is good for us, and I can bet you'd stand a chance if credibly offered.

It's work though. Like your father must likely have planted the roots before you, kind of work, for a non-indigene to be so integrated into my Orolu Kingdom and contest a post at election. Saying, we Basorun were not indigenes at one ancient point in time until we migrated there, and have won elections. Same tribe though, so perhaps don't count.

So you are waiting for aspirants to help you before they can be elected into political posts in your region? Read what you wrote and tell me if there's any sense in that.

Is he your parent or family? What is the use of manifesto and campaigns.

Now I understand why they share rice and 1000 naira and ghost you when they get to the post because all of you focus on STOMACH INFRASTRUCTURE.

loveth360:
And good leadership is a taboo in your south west?

Good leadership exists in South West, I'm only coming to liberate you from poverty and backwardness that is ravaging your state so that you can stop flocking to south west for greener pasture.

Meanwhile you need to know that Nigeria belongs to every one of us, so Abia is a no-man's land.

I can make you the women leader of your ward if you are capable to mobilize 7million people for me. Oh I forgot that the whole south east is not even up to that.

Countries stronger thsn Nigeria such as USSR, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia all broke up when the centre could not hold. Nigeria is heading towards same direction. We need to end this fake unity and go our seperate ways. Nigeria has never worked since the British created it

Oya dey go na, no be una dey wait for a particular tribe to support you before you go? And the next thing una go talk na 'Yoruba follow pursue us comot for Naija' 😁😁

Dalohad:
Does he live in Abia and own a property in Abia..

Has he done something worthy of emulation in Abia.

Did he provide any developmental initiatives in Abia?

If he has this antecedents, then he is eminently qualified to contest.

However, if he has no stake in Abia, never lived, never developed the state, and suddenly jumps from Fiditi in Kwara, to go contest elections in Abia, even his kinsmen would think he should take a bed at the Yaba left Neuropsychiatric hospital..

I don't know why many of you repeat the same words when trying to insult Yoruba, those words are stale.

Since Abia state is also one of the states in Nigeria and also a no-man's land, anybody can contest from any part of the country as far as he's a Nigerian.

So you should stop all those rules.

You don't even have PVC 😁😁

gidgiddy:
If it hasnt reached that stage since 1960, its not now when distrust more now than ever it will happen

You guys dont get it, Nigeria never became a nation, it remained the same country the British created and gave self rule. Had Nigeria become a nation, nobody would be talking about where the President is from or his religion. Everyone would talking about capacity, integrity, track record etc. Nobody would be talking about if Musa is from Anambra or if Ade is from Katsina. It would all be about choosing the best

Unfortunately, Nigeria is far from being a nation, it won't ever be one. So the chances of a non indigene being a Governor of a state are zero.

We should be talking about disintegration and going our seperate ways rather talking about this fake unity that will take us no where

You know you are asking for something that is not possible, so bring another opinion.

kindlyheart:
One Nigeria ko one Britain

Ahn ahn, you don't want to support this agenda?

FSBoperator:
What of Ojukwu's widow, Bianca?

Was she not denied the ticket in her own late husband's political party that he (Ojukwu) created and told to go and contest the position for Enugu senatorial zone where she is from?

Answer me this .

He will soon shift the post and give funny excuses

jmoore:
You never build ordinary fence in a state. And you want to contest in that state?
Start from becoming a landlord first in that state.

Na by landlord? I married from there and have some businesses and properties there, so what next? Give me another excuse please

But I think Nigeria belongs to all of us and Abia is also a no man's land like lagos. Did anything change?

gidgiddy:
I had no idea that Desmond Elliot was once Governor of Lagos

I thought you are a brilliant person, sorry.

jmoore:
Bed bugs have also crossed oceans.

Is that what gives you peace? Because I know you can't smell the other side. Continue wallowing in abject pain

gidgiddy:
Its not possible anywhere in Nigeria

Why not? Desmond idiot did it in lagos na

ImmaculateJOE:
Not enough.
You must reside there for more than a decade, contribute economically or socially and a tax payer.


Left for me, you must be born there. Just like POTUS

Has any of your past leaders lived in the land for up to 5 years? If that's what you want then you are not ready for a good leadership. Continue your suffer head

There are so many plans I have for our youths, fathers and mothers ranging from vocational grants for youths, empowerment for our fathers and mothers and upgrading our health sector. The educational system will not be left behind. We need to attract more investments from home and abroad so that we can be in line with the rest of the world. This is possible with you and me, let's do it.

KosiGee:
Why not? Show me why I should vote for you, convince me on how you’ll change things and solve problems in my state….if I’m convinced, I’ll vote for you.

I'll make you the coordinator for youths and sports to bring empowerment to grassroots and our mothers so that everyone can earn money daily

givedemwotowoto:
If you were born and raised there and speak the language why not? The problem is that most of you have never been there and your imagination is based on a false narrative probably passed down generations

My wife is from there and we have kids, I have businesses and acre of land there

mightyhaze:
You go don show workings for a particular area probably decades or even family generations before u start to contest elective positions

I don try for that side na, my wife is from there and I don buy one acre there. E no reach to contest?

jmoore:
You reside in Kwara, never crossed Niger bridge and you want to contest in southeast? Na by email you go contest?

I don't live in Kwara, I've been to different countries your ancestors never step their foot

Blood and flesh didn't reveal this to him

I created this picture for the fun of it but I wish to know if this is possible.

LegacyB:
It’s just a toilet, am not a fan of the boy, but stop giving yourself headaches. Even the Oba no send you.

Quote me when you become wise and respectful please

Sowore is the only saint in Nigeria politics right now.

goslowgoslow:
Who is Oba of Benin, what has he do to help the society?

Nobody dull pass you, just know this and know no peace

DarkJeddi:
So the Palace of the Oba doesn't have restrooms for its visitors?

Make Una dey calm down,all these hullabaloo over using a toilet?

It shows you don't have respect, are you from that region that kicks their parents?

Kewekubosineh:
What do you mean.

Who is OBA of Benin. Not a living mortal?

Mtchweee 😔

I will reply you when you are mature.

Ah madness don dey enter this boy cruise o. A whole Oba of Benin?

Sonnobax15:

Good one from Saudi Arabia.

But I think this good news should reflect on the lives of our Nigerian Iranians ,here especially the ones we have here on Nairaland . They should be used as the replacement for the sacked diplomats

You are right though but they refused to embrace the visa free offer that Iran is giving them 😁😁 Bunch of undercover terr0rists

Obi-kwankwaso or Kwankwaso-obi? The confusion will soon separate you.

And if they are planning to get ADC ticket, it's going to be another joke.
