Have they found the sponsors of Boko boys or fulani herdsmen killing people all over the nation?

The only sponsors they have found and jailed so far is a chief in Ile ife and about 20 other yorubas grin

you have spoke well, FG has failed in making right the wrongs of the past, and I find it despicable that they don't teach about the civil war in schools. indeed our arrogance towards history is why we have little progress in terms of development.

but the Igbo's have to understand that two wrongs can never make a right..to some extent I agree with the agitators of Biafra but looking at the bigger picture who is not marginalized in Nigeria, of course we all are! its the mode at which they come about their agitations is the problem. there seem to be anarchist twist to which they bring about their agitations

I believe the energy the eastern based Igbo's place on their agitations for secession is driven towards national development or better still restructuring we would be having a different discussion by now.
Unfortunately, that is the only language the powers in Nigeria hears. If you reason with them, they willignore you till you agitate. Nigeria is a country with zero hope so their agitation is in order.

Which national development when fulani cows are destroying my crops? Does it mean I cannot farm in peace on my lands? You have to talk about the reasons which lead to the agitation.

TonyeBarcanista:
Same here Jagaban... I've been insulted several times since I joined politics but I'm used to it. It is the price to pay as a public/political figure.
Your own case is different, you are an insult to the word "insult" you are the worst form of turn coat and a political prosti.tute who sells his dignity to the highest bidder.

TonyeBarcanista, you are a fickle minded, double tongued nobody who should hide your face in shame.

If you are not married, spare the world the agony because you will be having divorces every month. Women go suffer for your hand.

You have given this country the biggest insult so far, how can you sponsor a sick old man who should have been enjoying his retirement to come wreck our economic achievements?

they are the ones replying each other and liking each other.

These guys do nothing but troll Igbo threads on nairaland all day.

Their inferiority complex is beyond appalling
I think we should also showcase industries where rat poison is made, yorubas may want to use the products to put away their pain finally grin

of course the problem is with Nigeria, but there is also an Igbo problem which some certain elements among the Igbo community tend to carry around then anywhere they go, as much as they are the well traveled and industrious tribe in Nigeria they tend to undermine social values and cultures and constituted authority. this started because they themselves chose to disregard their own traditions and customs which as been cancerous to their existence as a Nation of people. which has brought about their relegation in the Nigeria political calculations
You started well, but fell down hard on the floor of common sense. Since the Igbos relegation from Nigerian political calculations, has anything good ever happened to Nigeria?

It even seems the vehicle of this nation veered into the bush since the Igbos stopped ruling. grin

Destined2win:
I just saw a thread on front page now that the members of Nigeria House Of Representatives are about to pass a bill that will require the age at which I can contest for President to 35 against the current 40.

This is unacceptable. They should bring it down to 30 years. They are trying to prolong the transformation of this country.
I am expected to resume the duty as President GCFR at the age of 30.

I understand that their resolution was based on recommendation from civil organizations but they should bring down that age to 30.

All the civil organizations that recommended this should go back to the house and amend that to 30 so that the house can pass it into law.

However they want to achieve that, they should. All I know is that you deserve a better nation pretty soon, you deserve a nation that is peaceful and prosperous and that you will surely get.

Pray for my Presidency!!
Are you hungry?

look at the message, it was coined from chinua Achebe troubles with Nigeria... are the facts not there in your face there is really an underlying problem with the Igbo's polity that need to be addressed but you would rather stick to hate and illogical assertions
There is no problem with the Igbo, the problem is with Nigeria and their attempts to moderate the way the Igbos think. We are who we are, and we are not stopping others from being who they are.

nairalandbuzz:
That is still not ok...

To me, I believe that a president should have completed Executive MBA because if you don't know how to successfully run a business, you have no business running a country.

All ministers MUST have PhD to show that they know a lot in the vast section they are being deployed.

All federal executives should have MBA and all state governors should have BSc plus reliable working experience.

All state legislators MUST have HND while all councillors must have OND...

Chairmanship should be a minimum of Junior Secondary.

Running a country or a local government is more than what we think...

That is my stake
Buhari was running a business before becoming president, he had 150 malnourished cows after 30 years of ranching. We were warned only that we failed to see the signs.
Politics › Re: Reps To Set Minimum Age Requirement Of 35 For Presidential Aspirants by vanbonattel: 12:36pm On Jul 23, 2017
What's the maximum age, we don't want 88 year olds standing for election of president in Nigeria.

Mujtahida:
I don't like quota system. I love fruitful and positive competition. Most people love that too but when you begin to color it with the notion of ethnic domination in a country like Nigeria you will generate needless bad blood.

If your last paragraph is truly your intention(which I doubt cos you are not the op) then it's important you learn how to communicate such a laudable intention. I will not have weighed in on this thread if the op had said 'see my people are the best'. You can only fight the best by being the best. But with domination nko? How do you fight? It leads to hostility, violence and bloodshed. My objection is against the word 'dominate' or domination. The moment even the best seeks to use his 'bestness' to dominate it would no longer be the issue of being best or better but simply domination. Go on and be the best. I can't quarel against that.
You sound quite reasonable, so I will respond with more reason. It's true that the Igbos sometimes sound annoying, especially with our achievements, this should not be seen as an affront to other tribes. We are doing so harmlessly, and that's how we behave even in our place. We might be wrong to expect everyone to understand us and look the other way, but is there any crime in a goal scorer throwing his shirt away, leaping over the ledge to embrace the cheering crowd? grin Just allow us to have a few laughs, especially knowing where we are coming from and the unapologized injustices we still bear from past and current suppression.

Yes I intend to make the country see a need for serious healthy competition towards producing competent leaders from today's youth, but I feel frustrated when some people support illiterates to lead us all, even with the abundant brilliant minds we all have. And I feel especially bad knowing that a tribe supported this current government, even when they knew they are far from being the best of brains.

The only way we can get out of this mess togethers is to entrust the positions of authority to those brilliant enough to manage them. And when I look in this country, I just feel like such can never happen. We feel hopeless in this current situation, and that's why we are starting to ask for a different country, where merit will be honoured.
