Mummy people everywhere. shio You disregard the list of his accomplishments. Of course, I’m not surprised. Tinubu tried with power, but was frustrated by the Fed govt See link below How FG Cheated Lagos State On Dedicated 230MW IPP Deal https://www.nairaland.com/2194879/how-fg-cheated-lagos-state |

Coldshisha: Do you also remember it is the current Emir of Ilorin and elder brother of Buhari's chief of staff that freed Tinubu and others at the appeal court when he was still a judge
Many kids don't know who is who now Many of those posting here against him were in diapers when these events took place. When the governor of the president’s state flies all the way from Katsina to see you in Lagos, it says a lot. There is no need to brag. The picture speaks for itself. |

Coldshisha: God hates lairs
NURTW pays tickets to elected NURTW workers which in turn pays local government for Hackney permit and park space this is done accross 700+ local government area of Nigeria yet you hate Tinubu for no proof of allegations just because he associates with people you call agbero and low life for being a driver
Yes Tinubu is a warlord, when Democracy was hijacked it was his Chicago money that funded NADECO while many did nothing or supported the military, he was even jailed I remember he was jailed back in the NADECO days in the democracy fight. You are absolutely correct. |

Coldshisha:

Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Jagaban of Nigeria
Instead of asking Bola Ahmed Tinubu how with 20 million people Lagos has lowest unemployment rate, richest people(GDP/capita) and every graduate and jobless people all over Nigeria rushes to lagos
Ask and learn how a single man produced lots of political leaders from nothing to something
Beg to know how Lagos Medical Centers helped almost all Nigerian elite with covid 19 virus when the country was on lock down
Understudy why Rapid Response Squad and LASERMA with their 112 are better than Nigerian Security Agents and emergency services
How Lagos State was able to attract Dangote refinery, Dangote Fertilizer and many more landmark investment
How is Lagos State government building a whole seaport at Ibeju Lekki second port in Lagos even when many don't have a functional port
. Tinubu really tried for Lagos. But you have to admit, he had successors that continued from where he started (Fashola et al.). There are some governors in Nigeria that tried as well, but their successors came and messed everything up e.g. Donald Duke of Cross Rivers, Sullivan Chime of Enugu. These govs were great but not as fortunate as Tinubu. They did not have someone to continue their vision and development drive. |

Eyin Omo karo ojire Oduduwa agbe wa o. God bless you! Only when Yoruba forms its nation would it look inward to tap the great potentials of Ondo state. The state is a goldmine!! You can imagine if someone like Fashola is Yoruba President, the kind of foundational roadmap he’ll put in place. Yorubaland is truly blessed  |

Arnold1: Mr Globe, are you by any chance an Osu ?
The Osu Caste System in Igboland: Discrimination Based on Descent[size=11pt][/size]
http://uk.geocities.com/internationaldalitsolidarity/cerd/dikeosu2002.html
The Osu, by definition, is a people sacrificed to the gods in Igbo community. And they assist the high priest of the traditional religion to serve the deities or the gods in their shrine. It is the belief of many Igbo traditionalists that the deities, which were (and are still) perceived in some quarters as being very powerful, would wreck havoc in the society, if they are not appeased.
In some special circumstances, those who hold the traditional beliefs of the Igbos could transform a Diala who committed certain atrocities against the land, into an Osu. This process involved intricate rituals (offering of libations and sacrificing animals to the earth goddess). Some of the ancestors of the present-day Osu people inherited their dehumanizing social status this way.
Because of many oral interpretations of the construct, the Osu has various definitions. It has been defined as a ‘cult slave,’ a living sacrifice,’ an ‘untouchable,’ ‘outcast,’ ‘owner’s cult,’ ‘a slave of the deity,’ and a ‘sacred and holy being.’ 3 These names mean the same: it is an abomination in the Igbo society for the Diala to marry Osu.
All human beings are created equal, but human experiences are heterogeneous. Some people have had it rough all their life on earth, while others do not have a lot to complain about. Naturally, life has the same meaning for everyone, but the Osu caste system in Igboland seems to have changed the meaning of life for a group of people branded Osu
Osu are people our igbo ancestors used to do sacrifies to the gods for the difficulties they faced then, which includes disease, lack of rain, poor farm produce, children and babies dieing etc.[/color]
The gods then asked for human sacrifies to help with these issues. When a sacrifice is offered to gods it is damned evil to touch those things.
Even in the bible when Abraham offer sacrifice to God, nobody eats the sacrify, it is burn to ashes.
The stigma that Osu have had today this that they were used for gods sacrifice and dimmed to the igbos as outcast.
To my understanding, most of then are very wealthy and brilliant people, their girls are very beautiful.
I myself will NEVER marry osu, not because I don't like them. It is because of the stigma the igbos has on them. For example, they do not involve in active igbo events. No one will elect an osu person as a governor, local chairmen, Eze, Chief, etc.[color=#990000]
If an Osu people tries to speak on behalf of the igbo he/she is immediately discredited, because of this stigma. I still have great ambitions for myself and would not want something to hold me back.
If you are not igbo you can never understand. This thing will NEVER go away and I feel very sorry for them. We call it Ome na ala (The law of our land) We cannot leave ome na ala and start to do ome na elu (Not the law of the land)
When you go to village and see how these people live, you would feel sorry from them. They do not trade because nobody would buy from them. In school nobody plays with osu children etc, it is really terrible.
If you want to leave in diaspora all your life, them marrying osu will not really affect you. But if you plan sometime in the future to return back to Nigeria, hmmm, you really have to be very careful. Remember we do not only mary for ourselfs we marry for children as well, you do not want to give our children a bad start in life.
I am sorry I have to say this, but this is the way it is and I did not make it so. Remember that osu are human being like us too. Wow!! This is very disheartening. The thought of people being totally marginalized because their ancestors were sacrificed to the gods makes me want to puke. Apparently it is still being practiced. I did a google search and saw this article on osu http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/10/osu-caste-in-igboland/Very very pathetic practice. |

Seun: This is all just PR; he's just being more a competent press-savvy politician. We all know presidential orders are not the way to get sustainable change. Seun, How is he being competent and press savvy by making statements/orders that will not end up addressing the root of the problem ? GEJ should have consulted with his economic advisers first to have a background knowledge of the factors driving the high cost of kerosene. A leader makes an order while the problem remains and/or leads to other problems at the end of the day. How does this translate to being savvy and competent ? |

Kobojunkie: What right leadership? We said the same thing the last time we added more schools, and guess what? We are today watching those very schools go to the dogs while we are still waiting for the “RIGHT LEADERSHIP”. In my opinion, we are likely not to get that anytime soon [/b]so it is best we start now accepting the fact that we need to start taking our own future more seriously rather than continuing to put it in the hands of the same old lunatics. So what you are proposing is that we should do away with govt building more universities and leave it completely in the hands of the private sector. I disagree with you; I think we should have both co-exist. The private and govt schools can compete with each other and private schools will be put in check with their exorbitant fees. Kobojunkie: [b]Building of 6 schools will not put a dent in the problem -- so, it is now a good idea to get the private involved. We are working on this to help solve the power sector. I believe we should pursue similar strategy in solving the problems we have in the education sector. Haba! how can the building of 6 new schools not put a dent in the problem  Come on now it will not completely solve the problem, no doubt, but more students will gain admission. Kobojunkie: How many federal universities do you know of in the US, that you are comparing us to? We have so many more federal schools than the US can consider to (with a population over 2 times ours) have(referring more to the military academies since they are the closest I know to federal schools here in the US). Seriously, how many Federal universities do you know of in the united states? Govt universities in the U.S. operate at the state level, not federal level and some of the great univs in the U.S. are govt owned (e.g. UC Berkeley, U Wisconsin-Madison, Penn State). Kobojunkie: Again, what we need is our government working with private entities to create more private institutions so as to carry much of the load. We have tried having sound public universities but in the last 30 years, we have watched our government allow them decay and the standard of education plummet significantly. I don’t know why we are still preaching in vanity when the signs are all around us that it is likely best for us now to start looking for alternative ways of tackling this problem which is right now working against our nations future at an alarming rate. The problem is bad, no doubt, but there are still good students coming out of the system.
Please see this link : http://www.ajfand.net/Issue33/Issue33profile.htm#KabirIt profiles a Ph.D holder from University of Ibadan (received in 2007) being highly recognized by an international organization. There are also tons of students coming from these schools with baccalaureate degrees going on to pursue graduate studies in the UK, US, Canada etc and excel. Some of them are here on this Nairaland as I type sef. |

Kobojunkie: b) The suggestion is not to use just those but to upgrade the existing schools [/b]and at the same time look more into having more private universities than our government embarking on building more of the same traps it has shown itself incapable of maintaining in the past. I get your point. What I am trying to make you understand is that, [b]the upgrading of our existing schools will not address the yearnings of 1 million candidates that can't get admitted yearly.In addition to having more private universities, building 6 more federal universities will not hurt. With the right leadership in place, the issue of univs becoming traps will be a thing of the past. We should not have a situation where most universities are going to be strictly privately owned, else, the prices will shoot sky to the roof beyond the reach of many Nigerians I think we should have both public and private univs co-exist as it obtains like countries as the U.S. Sound Public universities = Check and balances for private universitieshope you get my point  |
