the reason why every "happenings" in lagos and southwest in general is always publicise is because we are the most civilized and exposed people in nigeria, and this is evident in the number of south-westerners you found on the social media(s).

EducationRe: ASUU Dismisses Fg’s Threat To Sack Lecturers by smithsammy(m): 3:33pm On Nov 29, 2013
dabrake: The Academic Staff Union of Universities has said the Federal Government’s December 4 ultimatum issued to universities teachers to return to the classrooms is a clear indication that the government is not committed to implementing any of the resolutions it reached with the union.
While reacting to the threat of the Federal Government to sack the lecturers if they fail to call off their five-month strike by Wednesday nest week, ASUU National Treasurer, Dr. Ademola Aremu, said the union was shocked that the government could have such plan when there was a shortfall of 60,000 lecturers in Nigerian universities, owing to the government’s failure to employ enough teachers.

He added that the threat would not hinder the union’s determination to ensure that Nigerian universities were well funded.
He said, “It is a pity if the Federal Government is not willing to perfect the resolutions reached with the union. This is why we find it difficult to trust our leaders by their words. How can someone be threatening to sack lecturers when universities are already short-staffed by almost 60,000? We are not in a military era. The military tried it and failed. This one will fail again. They can re-open the schools. ASUU did not shut the universities; it was the school management that ordered the students to go back home.”
ASUU added that the FG was wasting the time of Nigerians and youths in the country by failing to perfect the resolutions so that classes could resume in the schools.
Making reference to the failure of the government to honour the agreements it entered with resident doctors and health workers after they suspended their strikes, the union said it had reasons to be wary of the government, adding that the threat was an insult to the sensibilities of Nigerians who were waiting for the government for a positive reaction.
“With the latest action, the government has shown that it is not committed to all it has been saying. We are saying that since we agreed at the meeting that the sum of N200bn is for 2012 and 2013 revitalisation, the government should deposit same in the Central Bank of Nigerian. We are already in November and December is around the corner. If they don’t do that now, when do they want to do it?” Aremu said.

meanwhile, this is what our gramalist, patrick obahiagbon has to say: This ASUU strike is a miasma of a deprecable apothesis of an hemorrhaging plutocracy, cascadingly oozing into a malodorous excrescence of mobocracy.
With all termagant ossifying proclivities of a kakistocracy, our knowledgia centura is enveloped in a paraphlegic crinkum crankum. Therefore ASUU, cest in dejavu, dejavu peret ologomabia. - Hon Patrick

PoliticsThe Advent Of The Notion "We Are Born To Rule" And Its Now Irrelevancies by smithsammy(op): 8:29am On Nov 29, 2013
I am not a racist and am not in anyway in support of tribal sentimental actions. I believe the best way to go for us as a nation, is to work together as one. The content of this piece may portray a little bit tribal sentiments but please, its is just a mere reasonation and nothing more than that. Thank you.

I have often heard people (the hausas) saying the phrase: WE ARE BORN TO RULE, this now left me in the jungle of thoughts of how they came about that?, what prompted and propels such NOTION?, who gave them such right? And when even does it (the notion) evolved.

However, after all the thoughts, question being ask, research being carried out; I come to realize some certain things:

1) MILITARYNALISM: as we all known, the Housas love and has passion for military ever since the colonial era. they constitute the major percentage of the population of people in the military and hold PROMINENT posts in the military and this is a reflection in the time of military era of government in this country where the major percentage of head-of-states and public office holders are Housas. I must say the military era of government favored the Housas and it is in this era that they field themselves into all the nooks and crannies of the government of this country and also, it is in this era that the notion, WE ARE BORN TO RULE emerged.

2)EDUCATIVE AND BUSINESS LIFE STYLE OF THE IGBOS: the Igbos on the other hand do not trooped into the military like the Housas. Doing business is their zeal and passion. They are in virtually all countries of the world doing one form of business or the other and this has helped them in term of exposure and helped them become a multi-cultured people. The IGBOS are very smart and enterprising and are force to be reckon in this country's economy. The Igbos do not enjoy much in the military era of government owing to the fact that they are less represented in the military force.


3)EDUCATION AS A PRIORITY OF THE YORUBAS: Yorubas greatest passion is for education and this has helped them in their quick development and diversity, this has helped them to be recognized in all part of the world and has gained them a strong DIGNITY around the world. Yorubas are multi-cultured and are more exposed to modern way of doing things and also, modern way of maintaining an economy. education has helped them to be more sophisticated and more creative. Yoruba also, is less represented in the military force. So they also enjoy less in the military regime.

CONCLUSION: the military regime has come and gone and had give all it has to offer. The Hausas enjoy the major percentage of all the goodies unlike the yorubas and igbos.

TOday, CIVILIAN GOVERNING is the other of the day, the Yorubas and Igbos are taking over. They have the best leadership and administrative skills because of their education and exposure. both the leaders and the leaded in the Yoruba and Igbo states are developing in all sectors. Their exposure and solid international relation has drawn foreign investors to their various states and this has helped them in all areas. Today, the notion: WE ARE BORN TO RULE has lost it esteem. It is now irrelevant. The world has changed and the Housas are yet to realize this.

Thanks to Azikwe and Awolowo who forsee the needs for education.
