Nigeria and Whaala sha! What has state of origin got to do with the nomination.

OP! Why you no put their geo-political zone too.. Nonsense.

This is why it will be hard for us to move forward, if we refuse to drop all these unnecessary tag to political nomination or selections

I hope we get it right in this country before year 2050.

LAFOCUZY:
Not so. Please I will advise you read varied account of Nigerian history and the civil war. One thing very consistent in any of these accounts is that the coup plotters were contrary to the celebrated politician- Awo, Zik., Belewa and Abubakar were the true nationalist. The politician played ethnic politics ruined the country and left the country in despair.

these young educated military officers attempted to correct this. most of whom were university graduate from UI and England. They were bright, politically exposed and can understand socio-political and economic dynamics- exactly what university dose to you compared to mere military school. In the words of Babagida, it was poorly executed. they wanted to liberate the western region from the control of Akintola and the prime minister, the UNPD, NNA and NPC, the corruption, the murder, the rigging etc.. They wanted to rid Nigeria of those corrupt elements, release Awolowo who they believed was perhaps the only progressive and make him head of the country. Some argue that Awo socialist ideology had great influence on these young soldiers. Given the failure of AG plan to take topple the government and the treason trial and subsequent imprisonment of Awolowo, they might felt a compulsion to act and complete that purpose. They had good intention but they failed. The same nationalistic spirit was what drove Ifeajuna to seek peace to avert the death of many. unfortunately, he lost both ways. He was the ideologist behind the January 1966 coup

Read these accounts from multiples sources, you will simply be sad and wonder why the politician turned it around and called it an Ibo coup when the large number of NCOs who executed the coup where northern. only the officers where largely Igbo.

Shym3xx:
M0ron, where in my post did I ask Lagos to build a rice plant in Lagos?

Apart from having ya head stuck under ya crusty feet - you also lack reading and comprehension skills.

This is what happens when you get ya head smacked with a brick as a kid - it messes up the brain like CTE.

you are trully what people say about you thinking thru d anus that is why you cannot remember, people who think thru the brain remember things

Just run along.

Shym3xx:
Lol.

Stark illiterate with mucus for brain matter. No wonder ya handle is "Southpole" cos ya head is stuck under ya crusty feet, you accursed m0ron (mods take note before you ban me cos he threw first shot loool).

Don't procreate and don't ever get involved in any business venture because you'll be broke faster than Usain Bolt. Just stick to jobs and saving for pension.

Shym3xx:
You're a stark illiterate!

Even Dangote knows that it would be a foolish idea to open a refinery in Kano when the oil is thousands of miles away and to maximise profit as a smart businessman, while reducing overhead cost - he's better off siting it closer to the oil. Smart businessman with Ijebu economics.

Your type should just focus on working somewhere - don't ever get involved in business cos you'll go broke faster than Usain Bolt.

teelaw4life:
The level of ethno-religious bigotry and sentimentalism on nairaland is astonishing. Some people here have gone beyond the point of return as far as being tolerant goes...but na wetin concern me, tomato is still 500 naira for 4 bulbs and buhari's economic team don't know what to do about anythung.

Siberia101:
Every tribe are into prostitution biko

Shym3xx:
I honestly don't know where they pluck these terrible and myopic leaders from.

What's Lagos' business with non-lucrative rice plant gazillion of mile away, when it can focus of its industries and continue to look for ways to maximise revenue from there? Must these people always tag along in stupidity?

Even if you're interested in agriculture, why not stay in the SW? This is the type of mentality that messed up Lagos.

Anyway, this is what happens when a glutton and an obese guy becomes a governor cos all he'll care about is food.

emvico:
so lagos no get land again? or may be dem wan use idea to spy kebbi

0nyegame:
he should've put it into consideration before now.that man is too dull and slow.




Which way nigeria



comedy nation,visionless leaders and selfish politicians.

buharifraud:
Utter nonsense. Fictitious figures splashed on the pages of newspapers with no real evidence. This government thinks every nigerian is a phool. You have recovered this much money, and yet you were going from country to country to beg like a dog. And after they all turned you down, you then placed a fuel tax on Nigerians. Keep on fooling yourselves and the pathetic Yorubas. In 2019, you will see wehn.

ubecharles:
The amount looted by the untouchables in APC and late converts from PDP to APC am sure will surpass this amount

viviangist:
hmmmmm .... Change ... who is deceiving who

If Glo can Give 48GB of Data for 8k
Buhari can Give 1 Litre of Fuel for 70 Naira

Not using the so called 145 price to be building estate ... well am just waiting for change

TrueHeart365:

the blood of the ibos you and your kins thirst for will haunt you.

ceejay4real:
Shame on all of you making tribal jabs on the Igbos. Can't a Nigerian criminal come from any part of the country? What of Yoruba guys causing nuisance in London, Edo girls prostituting all across Europe especially Italy, Hausa/ Fulani guys training both locally and abroad with Boko Haram & ISIS? Why are Nigerians so daft and unpatriotic? And I have noticed with dismay that Yoruba guys are so hate filled and spiteful, what the heck is wrong with u pple? If I may ask. They really need to reorientate their kids. The trend is getting out of hand! No wonder Nigeria has 2 many problems!

Addicted2Women:
We Igbo guys are busy working hard and getting rich while this nonsense guy dey sell drugs.

Only fools indulge in drug trafficking and usage.
Money no dey for drugs sef except cocaine.

Just kill that guy, he's a disgrace to the hard working Igbo tribe

boujaye:
GEJ has done his best, the baton is now with the PMB. with all the world support, he is ever confused than never before. he boasted to wipe out boko harem in 3 months, how far? economy? standard of living? security? food? exchange rate? Gej may not have done all or please all, but he handed over a better country to PMB, pray he will have a country to handover!

Peacetemi:
Pls shut the fuuuuuck up mister. I am already making something out of my life, and for the record, if I was in another continent I'd have been better.
