Politics / Re: BREAKING: Rotational Presidency Unconstitutional – Northern Governors Reply by Upton: 6:10pm On Sep 27, 2021 |
mrvitalis:Nobody is saying that. All we are saying is the major political parties should present a candidate from Southern Nigeria. There's nothing like zoning presidency to SE or SW. However, the fact is that Nigeria is two countries formed into one. Southern and Northern Nigeria, these two countries would have the right to their own president if there was no amalgamation. So for the sake of fairness and equity, presidency should be rotated between the two parts that make up Nigeria and not zoned to any particular zone. If it's rotated to the south, anyone from the south can contest, if it's to the north, anyone from the North can contest. One part of Nigeria can't keep ruling the country and expect the other part to be happy. 6 Likes |

Yungmil: While I understand your logic, I don't think Usyk can be considered a small boy based on yesterday's performance. Personally, I think it's bye bye to the belts because I don't see AK beating Usyk in a rematch |

It was a poor performance from Joshua's end though. I don't think he is good enough to face Fury or Wilder. Usyk outclassed him wizdomnzube: 130 Likes 6 Shares |

Politics / Re: 2023: Ceding Presidency To North Dangerous For Nigeria's Unity - Sagay by Upton: 6:46am On Sep 22, 2021 |
Favourchris:There's nothing wrong if the North continues to rule because it's "technically" Nigeria and every citizen has the right to contest for any position in the country. The constitution doesn't say anything about rotating presidency, it's not even the best way to select a president. Rotation of presidency is only coming up because Nigeria is literally made up of 2 countries, northern and southern. And it's only fair to rotate the opportunity to lead between the two sides. Afterall both countries would have produced their own president at that level if it wasn't for the amalgamation. Rotating between north and south isn't guilt tripping in my opinion. It's just respect and if it doesn't happen, no big deal |

Onepeople: Zoning to the east isn't equity and fairness. What happens to North central? They've never had any democratic leader. Can't the position be zoned to them too? 1 Like |

kcnwaigbo: Truth is this, there's nothing like zoning presidency. The only reason people are calling for rotation between North and South is for fairness and equity between the two countries that make up Nigeria. Now the onus is on anybody good enough in the south to position him/herself for the position incase it happens to be rotated to the south. It's a lot difficult to rotate presidency between the 6 senatorial zones because North central can even lay claim to the right to contest for the presidency just like south east. As much as we want rotation, we want competence as well. Rotation should end at the sub national level because having a competent leader is the priority. One major party can present someone competent from the SW, the other party can present someone competent from the SE and let the country vote for the best candidate. It's fine if both parties end up finding competent candidates in your zone and it's also fine if the don't end up finding someone in your zone. But both major parties cannot be expected to present someone from the SE simply because of "zoning". 2 Likes |

I am not saying Nigeria should be divided. But if it's ever going to happen, people need to realise that this country can only be divided into two, along the amalgamation lines (North and South). All these calls for Biafra and Oduduwa Nation will not yield any fruit. Nigeria is two countries formed into one. It will be less difficult for the two countries involved go their separate ways than for Nigeria to break into 4 or 5 different parts. hisexcellency34: |

Hey please I just want to ask and it may sound funny. Are there schools that offer considerable scholarship or funding opportunities to undergraduate students? Also, can someone help with list of schools with affordable tuition fees in the US. I've been trying to find some online but it seems undergraduate education is pretty expensive in the US |

Sunday2021: Hahah... You are a clown abeg. Oshiomhole was born Muslim and was led to christianity by his late wife. He was a Christian even before he became governor. Some of you just come here to post lies and agenda for your personal interest. You are everything you called the poster above because you are the one who didn't know Oshiomhole converted to Christianity and identified as one when he governed Edo state. You are definitely not from Edo state, you should sit out of this. We do not want a sultanate and I hope we've been clear enough? 3 Likes |

Juliusmalema: You are a clown. First Edo north are not entire muslims, secondly muslims aren't up to 40% in Edo state. Those from Edo north have their traditional rulers and they do not need a f******g sultan. The definition of sultan is a king for a Muslim state. Edo is not a Muslim state! Edos and Edoids have nothing to do with any religious king. Our tradition and kingdom existed way before Christianity and Islam and it's sacred. Besides the Shuwa Arab people are not Edo people. We do not care about them. They are only allowed to live in Edo state because of the union Nigeria, they have no right to any traditional ruler, they are subject to the laws and traditions of Edo land. Because we are tolerant and peace loving people doesn't mean you can come here to demand rubbish. Be careful, be guided. 2 Likes 1 Share |

proeast: Calm down! Don't be a clown because you are emotional. The civil war is in the past and is different from what ya'll are calling for. It was a war ffs and wars are about military power. The Igbos had fine military men who were in the Nigerian military and they later led the Biafran military and those men trained others. So it's normal that Nigeria found it tough. The poster was just talking about how the south needs to unite and he has a point. There's strength in Unity and that's true. On the other hand, no one really cares if the south is united or not. You see this thing you are clamouring for, it's a long journey. Even if it happens, it may not even happen in your life time, so there's no need to be emotional about someone else's post. You think it's easy to just break a country into fragments? The Tigray forces received reinforcements from defecting Ethiopian soldiers, so it is not a big deal for them to hold Ethiopian soldiers in captive because they have people with well trained military skills fighting for them not because they have a lot of brave and courageous people who woke up one morning and picked up arms. They are fighting a war for ffs, so you expect their army/rebels to be crushed overnight?. And besides the current conflict is politically motivated. And you know why you are fighting a lost battle? Because you guys are fighting for self determination along tribal lines. You have a problem with the North and you are letting the hatred consume you. Don't attack someone for his opinion because he doesn't agree with yours. If you are asked the reason you are agitating, I'm sure you wouldn't find something ideological to say. You want to break out because Nigeria has failed you(true, I agree) but that's what being cowardice really is. So why attack someone that doesn't agree with you? |

Politics / Re: Twitter Agrees To Open Office In Nigeria - Lai Mohammed by Upton: 2:28am On Aug 12, 2021 |
OneTemplate: Omo, all these ones are stories. You don't need to attack anyone for their opinions. Also he didn't say Nigeria is worthless. He only questioned Lai Mohammed's credibility and we know the man has a long history of telling lies and fake news. Nigerians are still using Twitter even with the ban. That said, Twitter doesn't need to open an office in Nigeria simply because "Nigeria hosts the biggest consumer market in Africa and one of the most profitable internet penetration and usage rate in Africa along with being Africa's biggest tech market." Twitter will do what they have to do to resolve the ban because that's what any sensible business organisation would do even if it was a small country that's involved. Don't come and be forming alpha and omega of Africa here and think businesses will start crawling because of Nigeria's youthful population. |

Dirty Hyporcrites! This is the problem of Nigeria. So many of these self acclaimed leaders are corrupt! Ask them to give account of how they have behaved as leaders and humans, you will find 99% of them are corrupt. Yet they come out in public to say immorality is bad and claim others are immoral. Isn't it funny? Corrupt ones criticising some "allegedly" immoral ones. 9 Likes 2 Shares |
