Politics / Re: CNN: "Nigeria Will Look Like This In 2050" - Nigerians React by Sweetlemon(f): 5:05pm On Jul 15, 2016
They only said the truth if we continue the way we are headed now. I seriously do not understand how you want Nigeria or even Niger Delta to look like Dubai even in a thousand years with all the pipeline bombing going on there. How will the world take us serious seeing how the natives are hailing the destruction of their own lands?

I don't know about actual governance cos I've never been to Imo state to see things myself but the Okorochas are the most giving and accommodating public serving couple ever. The amount of charity works they do should earn them some big awards. Unlike some other attention seeking politicians who give food stuff and all sorts of publicity stunts, these ones actually give things that sink deep into the souls and lives of the benefactors. May Gd bless the Okorochas.

And north perform better in term of security than the south that control economy.

This is a fact. Go to Northern communities and ask young boys what they want to be when they grow up and you'd hear a lot of "soldier" there. When I was a corper in Kaduna I did that research personally. But ask young boys in the South and most will say "doctor" or "banker". Hardly will you hear any "soldiers". A lot of Southerners who join the army do so to escape poverty.
End of discussion.

My dear from the beginning it was not so. Imagine Nigeria as a plural state plagued with ethnic nationalities and religious diversity and surviving on on mutual distrust, having the security machinery of the state stocked with a particular region is dangerous to her existence.

Let's not be blinded by affinity.

I guess you can also say that about the economic machinery of the state stocked with the South.

And so what if the North are in charge of security? What are you scared of? That they will force you to start speaking Hausa or what? Why aren't the North also fearing that the South being in charge of the economy can sell them out?
Can you now see you are just paranoid?

Can we now start debating on how we can petition Baba to start those Lagos-Kano and Lagos-Calabar rail projects? I'm dying to see things happen in my home country so I can brag to my friends and colleagues over here that we have basic infrastructures back home too.
It's so sad watching my country people make so much noise about inconsequential things while people in rest of the world are trying to outdo themselves in futuristic inventions. I don't know of any developed country that got to where they are because of "federal character".

Don't know why anyone mussed the fact that if Aisha Buhari, the President's wife was involved in any shady deals that they won't be in fact very happy to let it out to the world. Americans don't give a damn and do not care about who you are plus they would have been happy to give negative news about an African country to the world through their CNN.

Nigerians really need to learn more about their own country. Not everyone from the north is Hausa or Fulani or even a Muslim. Even Borno state has a large chunck of indegenous Christians. The north has three different regions. Stop lumping them all together.

Why are you like this. The chairman is from the south, where did you expect the GMD to come from? As for the other board members, why do people lump the 3 regions in the north together.

Thank you very much. Why lump the whole North together? The man's name sounds like he's from a Christian minority tribe which is a welcome development because they've been neglected for too long. Why are southerners so damn selfish?

Ibe lost me when i heard something through the grapevine , he also advocated negotiating with destroyers and capped it by dragging Amaechi in Public.. That was in bad faith..... Wish Bubu had gone for SSner though, but wished aren't horses..

The person he replaced Kachickwu with is a Northern minority which is fine by me cos these Northern minorities gave been neglected before Buhari came in.

Isn't hypocritical of you not to also notice that crime is committed by all tribes of the country but your likes are always quick to attack all Igbos and call them criminals on every drug thread they find themselves? Or because you love to hate the Igbos, it's cool for them to be bashed whenever one person from there commits a crime? I asked all these because never seen your hypocritical self, condemn the useless statements from your people on all Igbo crime threads.

Who are the "my people" please?
I may not be in support of bashing igbos on crimes because all tribes are guilty of various crimes. But I'm definitely in support of resetting your hopelessly one-tracked brains back to factory setting in the area of politics and national development.

I hear cases like this like every single day from the Christian south of the country. Yet when once in a while a case comes from the north we see everyone convulsing and calling for the heads of the entire north, calling them peodophiles and all.

If I, a toddler in 1984 who only grew to read about the hardship at the time didn't vote Buhari in 2015, then all those who did witness the situation and yet voted him in are incurable f00LS.

Just negodu headline back then, yet people like Elrufai and Amaechi kept campaigning for him. God will punish all of them.angry

You people are NOT ok at all. Ok let's use your logic of increase in bread price. According to the Picture Buhari left it at 70k right?
So how come it increased to N220? Who has been increasing it all this while?

Bottom line, bread is one particular commodity that has NEVER been stagnant for as long as I can remember in Nigeria.
I remember quite well that bread was N150 just about 5 years ago. Wait a minute, who was in power then when it increased to N220?
