RIP in advance to any human that would try opening the eyes of the black masses.
We just derive joy in bringing ourselves down

Oddsman:
Omotola, Nigeria is hellish. But you celebrate an extravagant birthday and trend for buying your daughter abroad while your other kids are based abroad. Your husband as a captain earns nothing less than a million a month. Or are you just seeking attention. You show wealth today then tomorrow say Nigeria is hellish. With the wealth you display, you can actually help alleviate people's hell and make the world a better place.
As for those willing to call me bad belle over this, go get a life.

Because of power, you call a section of Nigerians Camerounian, blacks and their crazy thinking

At the end of the day Africans deserve their leaders

You are right
China is here to save Africa from Europe
Nothing to see here

jayfolarin:
This is pure revisionism and straight up false history. You are arguing in bad faith. If you have any evidence backing your claim, I'd like to see it.

Colonialism is more about convincing people......?? Dude are you for reals!!!

Please don't mention me with some cooked up falsehood if you don't have facts in hand.

Operation legacy by Britain is largely successful and you are helping contribute to the misinformation it seeks to spread. Don't be ignorant

Yes we climbed over eachother to buy guns to suppress other tribes,
Of course a lot of people revolted but most felt there was nothing wrong with losing sovereignty as the generation rolled by.
Colonialism is more about convincing people they should be colonized.
People tend to forget their history so soon.
It's sad if you think about it, since history always has a way of repeating itself

jayfolarin:
Climbed over eachother to learn English is the biggest revisionism I have heard in a long long while! What else did we also do, climbed over one another to get into the slave ships that were sailing outside Africa?

You are not ready to have an honest discussion mister. When you are, do let me know.

And you think Sudan, a country with multiple wars and tens of warlords are not divided?
I think the problem is a lot of people in Nigeria are mentally sick, if everybody decides to rise up, there are some youths that would tell you we are better than Mali or Syria.
It's only in Nigeria that people claim they have 24 hours electricity 24/7 and the govt is the best thing that ever happened to them even when the government is apologizing for inefficiency

horlus:
We are divided , it will be difficult to come together as one to fight a worthy cause.

You really think people were forced to speak English?
Dude!!!
We climbed over eachother to speak Queens English, Buhari's kids school(ed) in the UK!
You don't understand colonialism, its all about loving the people who would oppress your children in the future,
And what da heck do you mean by 'china-hate'? I am trying to tell you the obvious.

China didn't develop by sourcing for loans, cap in hand,
You do realize that with a debt to revenue actual in 2017 of using 68 kobo in every naira of our total revenue to pay back debts, we may soon have to abandon capital expenditure and even personnel to be able to pay back debts. Still on debts, domestic borrowing has been stated to crowd out private sector borrowing and leaves little or nothing for the private sector to create jobs and wealth and increase productive capacity, now imagine what the rest of Africa would go through.

A lot of you won't get it, you think the west/east battle for Africa is for the benefit of Africa?
China has built an empire (dragon) that would be fed ONLY by an underdeveloped Africa, those minerals that feed China would keep Africa in the hole it has always been in.

But of course there are Africans like you who just don't get it.

jayfolarin:
Whiteman. I see you left all of the economic talk now and wanna focus on Mandarin. Well here goes....

I don't see any report saying, countries are being forced to learn Mandarin like it was done by the colonial dogheads. It seems to me countries are deciding to learn the language because they feel it would benefit them economically and diplomatically. Please feel free to prove me wrong with links to reports saying otherwise.

There are several Mandarin classes where I live and they are always filled to brim with Europeans trying to learn the language. Are they being colonised as well?

Your china-hate screams dude!

WE SPEAK ENGLISH/FRENCH/PORTUGUESE/ARABIC BECAUSE WE WERE COLONIZED
WE WOULD SPEAK MANDARIN BECAUSE WE WOULD BE RECOLONIZED BY THE CHINESE NOT WITH GUNS BUT WITH ECONOMIC CASTRATION.
HOW IS THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND BLACK MAN

jayfolarin:
Nowhere in my post did I claim china is Santa Claus, they never said they were either. Loans are meant to be repaid and are not free gifts. It's akin to the bank taking over your collateral because you didn't honour your loan repayment agreement. You can't turn around to call the bank evil for trying to recover the money that was lent to you.

Comparing China's business model with that of the west is what I said is being dishonest and you know it. There is 'good, better and best' for a reason. It doesn't have to be 'bad' if its not the best.

Also, about teaching Mandarin in schools, are you kidding me? Dude, you write in English that isn't your native language and turn around to say learning Mandarin, a language spoken by over 1.3 billion humans is bad? Your sino-phobia screams dude! It's loud AF!

Hahaha Black mind that cant see the future
China has already taken over national assets from
Africa like the Zambian international Airport, they are in talks to take over the national power company over debt servicing, Mandarin is being taught in Malawian schools, most countries won't be able to pay their debt, that is as clear as day.
China became great by shutting everybody out and developing from within, like UAE,
Africa is going back into colonialism and most are still sleeping like their forefathers

jayfolarin:
Every country in the world puts her own interests first. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone as you would put your family first before another's. One thing that needs to be clarified from your comment though is the false equivalency of China and the rest.

China hasn't been this powerful in recent history (dare I say throughout history), and while they obviously do look after their own interests, they have consistently shown to be most interested in MUTUAL development relationships with the countries they deal with. This is unlike the west though, which you and I would agree that since the Advent of their contact with the African continent, the relationship has been PARASITIC and nothing else.

So please, don't put everyone in same basket. It's simply dishonest

Imagine going to a technologically advanced country like dubai and still talk about Open grazing?
Do these people have any sense of reasoning?
How many cows did he see roaming about the roads of Dubai? Mehn i just pity the dumb youths
One day e go reach una door,

Buhari would soon go to London and lay his life in a blue eyed man's hand. Most of his family too I would imagine. IMF, EU, China and the rest are all after their own interests, that shouldn't even be an issue or something to act surprised about.
I just watched Ahmed Kadiri (the candidate)crying about Zamfara and I honestly can't stop laughing,

jayfolarin:
Buhari is not cozying up to them, he never did before and he won't start doing it anytime soon. Things like this (the IMF report) will become regular occurrence now.

Live, and let live is not a thing in the west. You have to be under their tight leash, else you are haunted to the ground. It's pathetic really

How many service chiefs has been held accountable for all the many security failures in Nigeria?
Yes Nigeria is the Devils zone where nobody is safe, from ex top military personnel to students.
If you think Nigeria is the right country to raise kids then have more faith in Nigeria than the people leading you including but not limited to Buhari

annford:
Talking about Brazil would be 'opening a can of worms'. It is nauseating how they make Africa look like the devil's zone meanwhile, they're the one's hatching demons.

Ahmed Kadiri (the candidate) recently came out crying about insecurity because her brother was kidnapped. That is the problem with the average black mind. Until the calamity gets to his doorstep before he/she finally wakes up.
Who cares about Buhari when citizens are being picked up from their homes and no security personnel has been held responsible,
4 years after, Buhari still hasn't built that world class hospital. The clueless dolt and his family still goes abroad for medical treatment. The joke is on you

Guestlander:
If everyone did not run away from Germany, China and Japan when things were really horrible, I suspect some Nigerians will always stay back and eventually salvage the country.
Some of you are blinded by hate for Buhari and whatever seems like a negative comment about Nigeria makes you happy and excited.

Continue with your senate or governorship rubbish when the youth of Algeria, Sudan are doing it, be waiting for a man that would run for governor even when you know you won't vote for hin

Awol1:
Kingsley Moghalu must have thought himself a Macron in France who start his own party, speak a lot of grammar, make noise on social media and boom, win the presidency.

People you think are intelligent enough to understand the dynamics of the country's politics will just be falling hand and spilling gibberish.

Kingsley should have ran for Senate or governorship, show what he can do at local level, use it to introduce himself to the nation, and then make a case for the presidency.

This is not a rocket science bikonu.

How dumb can you be??
Isn't the Benin arts enough to tell you we were strategically destroyed?
Self hate is a strong disease it is already apparent in the way you want to pick on other tribes
Typical destroyed black mind

LuciferAllah:
I still insist that Southern Nigeria (thanks to Afonja muslims) are too weak.
All they know is speak English, have sex & take pictures for social media.


Northerners are supposed to be nothing more than domestic staff & labourers for Southerners.

How can uneducated people lead educated ones?
HOW?

It's akin to blacks calling the shots in the US after whites practically created the world we live in today.
Impossicant!

I actually feel bad for you

The 1 ton of Gold is worth $64.3 Million dollars at $2000/oz. No individual company can source such gold for you.

grandstar:
Is it possible for someone to buy about a ton of mined gold monthly and risk free in a countries such as Mali, Tanzania, Ghana where they have lots of it and sell in Dubai or China for instance?

I learnt gold business is fraught with a lot of danger and cheats.

Just wondering if one can acquire that much gold monthly

When women like Nneka give birth to a boy, they become useless mother in laws because they are afraid their sons wife would be just like them

TimiRume:
I kind of agree with Nneka even though she is a bit extreme with her views, but then those are not really her views, they are a natural order of relationship between men and women. Men are wired to impress women with proceeds from their labouring, while women try to win men with their looks.

Brown Sugar's views are problematic. First, if the man is willing to spend then you can't fault the woman. Second, women are also put under pressure to look good, neat and cheerful all the time even when there are factors that could make them not keep up. Third, men also feel entitled to pretty or classy girlfriends so for women who fall short in this area, they face same problems broke men face...lack of choice. Fourth, the world would be a mess if her approach to relationships is adopted.

Masculinity and femininity are two fragile and precious qualities we cannot afford to lose in this so called modern world.

Yes he is the commander in chief of the Armed forces of Nigeria. Do you know what that means?

Is it Buhari that attacked the village


A communal clash is now the fault of the president. Whats the role of the Local and State government

Stop using your kidney to reason.

You condemn the dude for collecting 'consultancy' fees but you see no contradictions that pastors collect money for being God's 'consultants'.
WAKE UP FOOLISH PEOPLE

The Federal Military Government hereby decrees as follows: Subject to the provisions of this Decree, Nigeria shall on 24th May 1966 (in this decree referred to as 'the appointed day') cease to be a Federation and shall accordingly as from that day be a Republic, by the name of the Republic of Nigeria, consisting of the whole of the territory which immediately before that day was comprised in the Federation- The Unification Decree: No. 34 of 1966" -General JTU Aguiyi-Ironsi?

PrecisionFx:
In the speech u posted, he didn't decree an end to regional govt n resource control.

Under Ironsi we still had 4 regions with 4 regional leaders , he only added provinces within each region n that's all. At that point every region paid 30% of their revenue to the centre n kept 70% to develop their region, that's resource control.

The Unification Decree: No. 34 of 1966


Decree No. 34

[24th May 1966]



THE FEDERAL MILITARY GOVERNMENT hereby decrees as follows:

Subject to the provisions of this Decree, Nigeria shall on 24th May 1966 (in this decree referred to as ‘the appointed day’) cease to be a Federation and shall accordingly as from that day be a Republic, by the name of the Republic of Nigeria, consisting of the whole of the territory which immediately before that day was comprised in the Federation.
2.

As from the appointed day—

the Federal Military Government and the Federal Executive Council shall be known respectively as the National Military Government and The Executive Council;
the Federal territory shall be known as the Capital territory;
the provinces, including Kaduna capital territory, in schedule 1 of this Decree which immediately before the appointed day were respectively comprised in Northern Nigeria, Eastern Nigeria, Western Nigeria and Mid-Western Nigeria shall be known respectively as the Northern group of Provinces, the Eastern group of Provinces, the Western group of Provinces and the Mid-Western group of Provinces;
for the purpose of administration each group of provinces shall subject to the authority of the Head of the National Military Government, be under the general direction and control of a Military Governor appointed by the Head of the National Military Government;
Act No. 20 of 1963 (that is to say the Constitution of the Federation) may be cited as the Constitution of the Republic.
Without prejudice to section 8 of this Decree, the person who immediately before the appointed day holds the office of Military Governor of a Region shall be deemed to have been appointed by the Head of the National Military Government as Military Governor of the corresponding group of provinces with effect from that day.
The National Military Government may either conditionally or unconditionally delegate to a Military Governor of a group of provinces power to make laws by edict for peace, order and good government with respect to any matter specified in the delegation in relation to that group of provinces"

You enjoy playing the victim but none of you dolts want to admit that just 6 years after colonial rule an Igbo man thought he knows best and disrupted everything.

pchukwudi:
It takes some kind of sickness to lie with a straight face like you just did.

He ended the "regional government" (according to you) and yet appointed Military Governors to administer the regional governments you claimed that he "ended".

Kudos to your crap.

In a speech to the nation on January 28, 1966, he
(Head of State Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi Ironsi(1924-1966) denounced the ills of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa regime and outlined necessary reforms. “All Nigerians”, he declared,” want an end to regionalism. Tribal loyalties and activities which promote tribal consciousness and sectional interests must give way to the urgent task of national reconstruction. The Federal Military Government will preserve Nigeria as one strong nation.” He then went on to promise “administrative reforms” and referred specifically to several matters in which regional as well as personal interests were known to have had decisive influence.

Ironsi ended regional government

PrecisionFx:
Gowon ended regional government n resource control in Nigeria.

Hehehehe

Lol

""OF all Decrees enacted in Nigeria, none is more controversial than Decree No 34 of 1966. It was promulgated on May 24, 1966 by then Head of State Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi Ironsi(1924-1966). It was called Unification Decree while some critics at that time labelled it De-unification Decree. It was the Decree that started the death of Regionalism-an issue which is still generating controversy presently. Although then Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, repealed Decree 34 on August 31, 1966 through Decree 9, a large portion of the Decree is still effective till date.


General Gowon further compounded it by promulgating Decree 14 of 1967 which broke Nigeria into twelve states and provided for Military Governors for each state. With Decrees 34, 8 and 14 regionalism was finally buried. On assumption to power, General Ironsi promulgated the Constitution (Suspension and Modification) Decree 1966. Decree No 1 dated January 17, 1966 but not published in the Official Gazette until March 4, 1966. He then issued public order Decree No 33 dated May 24, 1966 which dissolved eighty-one political associations and twenty-six tribal and cultural associations.

At the early stage of his tenure, he appointed a three-man advisory team made up of Chief Francis Nwokedi, a Permanent Secretary, Dr. Pius Charles Nwabafor Okigbo (1924-2000) and Colonel Patrick Anwunah, who later became Chairman and Head of the Orientation Committee at that time. He replaced the then Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Taslim Olawale Elias (1914-1991) with Chief Gabriel Chike Michael Onyiuke (SAN), former Director, Public Prosecution, Eastern Nigeria (1960-1965) who is from Nimo in present Anambra State.

In a speech to the nation on January 28, 1966, he denounced the ills of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa regime and outlined necessary reforms. “All Nigerians”, he declared,” want an end to regionalism. Tribal loyalties and activities which promote tribal consciousness and sectional interests must give way to the urgent task of national reconstruction. The Federal Military Government will preserve Nigeria as one strong nation.” He then went on to promise “administrative reforms” and referred specifically to several matters in which regional as well as personal interests were known to have had decisive influence. These were official appointments, public investments, and the universities.""

RichBoy247:
Senator, go and change your house Constitution first.

As for State Police, have you imagined the Police being under the control of a State governor like Yahaya Bello, Chibuzom Wike, Ajimobi the Constituted Authority, Nasir El-Rufai, Rocha's Okoroawusa, Adams Oshiomole? In less than a month, Nigeria will be in flames.

Yahaya Bello would have directed his Police Commissioner to go and lock up anybody that bears Dino in Kogi State. Chibuzom Wike would have locked up all the people in Rotimi Amaechi's village. Ajimobi the Constituted Authority would have locked up all students of LAUTECH. After destroying Yinka Aiyefele's Radio House, Ajimobi would have also have gone to destroy Yinka Aiyefele's family house. By now, Adams Oshiomole would have locked up all PDP supporters in Edo State. As for Rocha's Okoroawusa, if you don't have APC membership card, then you cannot even walk on the streets of Imo. Tinubu the Jagaban too would have deported all Omo Yeebos back to Biafran land and dumped them at Upper Iweka.

The crisis of the First Republic started when the idiot called Ladoke Akintola who was the Premier of the Western Region started using the Region controlled police to harass and intimidate Awolowo's supporters. Many Awolowo's supporters and their properties were burnt alive by Akintola's thugs. That was where/when the slang "wetie" came about meaning "wet him/her with petrol and burn him/her". The aftermath effect of the crisis consumed the traitor Ladoke Akintola and ultimately lead to the end of the First Republic.

I support community policing and not police controlled by State or Local Governments.

Very well said

Esseite:
My greatest pain is that Nigerians foolishly destroyed all channels of engaging the govt because of partisan politics..

Protests... police teargas people, Nigerians supported.
Religious protest.... army kills, Nigerians supported.
NASS siege... Nigerians supported.
Judiciary ridicule... Nigerians supported.
Restructure... we called them ipobs.
Justice and equity... we called them election loosers.
Nepotism... we called them opposition and moles.
Articles and columns protest... we called them wailers.
Hardship... we said 16 years pdp rule.
Hunger... we said drop in crude oil.
Unemployment.. we said they were rogue companies.
Dollar rise... we said we were the problem not govt.
Social media outrage... we called them Haters.

Well... the Chicken has come home to roost, how do you now challenge the govt with even as little as 20% followership as some are screaming "next level" and others saying "enjoy your next level" while the country is no different from a war torn nation.

And you know what.... its about repeating itself again with the NASS imposition.

Sigh!

hisgrace090:
The question in every Igbo man concerning Biafra is, "is this how we will lead ourselves when we become Biafra"?

Igbos are very tribal and divisive.
They singlehandedly created the Osu caste system without the help of yorubas and they still sustain it with their usual believe that they are better than others even among themselves.
You see a lot of them trying to divide yorubas into Muslim/Christian because they thrive on division not unity.

For every Yoruba that wants to go down to their level remember they have centuries of experience in discrimination.

Politics of Algeria - Wikipedia
Wikipedia › wiki › Politics_of_Algeria
Algeria has been called a "controlled democracy", or a state where the military and "a select group" of unelected civilians—reportedly known to Algerians as "le pouvoir" ("the power"—make major decisions, such as who should be president

Bro the military is just a tool of the power! I'm surprised you would even argue. Is there ANY politician in Nigeria that Dangote doesn't have his personal number? And that is just a man that has decided to show his face

MissRaine69:
Sigh ...Algeria has always been under military control for milenia it’s only thaf the west that frowns on countries that are obviously run by military heads so a facade of democracy is necessary.
ISIL was defeated because the loyalty you buy is not sustainable compared to loyalty gained via respect. Turkey was still buying oil from ISIL held territories.

That is just an illusion,
Oil/natural minerals/Banking cartels
The military has and would always be a tool since ancient days.
Don't keep your eyes on the man with the stern face and big guns, focus on the man who foot the bills, afterall what is an Army without a payment structure ?
They are the 'cabal' behind ANY government in the world.
Even the formidable ISIS, was defeated once the business of oil trading was camped down.
Follow the money. Whoever pays for the military controls it.

MissRaine69:
If you know the history of Algeria you will know that it’s the military that’s really in control. There is no true democracy even with the new care taker government.

The worst nightmare of any group of elite is a united youth, Algeria is a prime example.

I think what happened to our history was the constant raid for slaves by the Muslims and Christians,
The burning and pillaging of arts and books,
But it turns out the more you read, the more you find out we have a very long shared history .

Iykelinus:
The truth still remains that, no one knows his or her millennium history... During those times, there were nothing to use in order to keep track...

Our ancestors were basically wanderers, settling here and there, their problem then was just to get enough food and keep multiplying
