.....but they don't

See Sowore now.... Everywhere is Vote Sowore. If I see Sowore's party Inna ballot paper, I wouldn't be able to differentiate it from the other parties that begin with A.

This Banky's party, what is their symbol? This is especially important for the uneducated, but these elite candidates are targeting the wrong group.


This Toke now, she get PVC? Even if she get, she dey like who go fit stand under sun to vote? The sun will just melt the bleach of her.... But this is Banky's target group. People wey no go vote

Yeah, I belong to Sowore's campaign organization. I will communicate what you have raised to them.

I wish Banky would get a deeper understanding of things before its too late.

They have been so isloated from the masses for too long that they can't understand their needs well. Still sha, they are better than the top guys who have been isolated for much longer.


But still on the most important matter, which time we go marry, princess?

safarigirl:
The thing is, the name of a candidate is not written in the ballot paper, only the symbol of his party is seen.

If Banky's supporters see the symbol of his party on the ballot paper, will they be able to identify it?

Sometines, those who say you should pick a more popular party are doing so for a reason. The party is more important than the candidate in the end

So maybe candidates should spend more time letting people know their symbol.

ItsMeAboki:
APC and her members have no credibility: they produce fake news and make false allegations; all their campaign is based on lies - I just pity their followers.

Don't you mean PDP, bros?

[quote author=Born2Breed post=74679711][/quote]Yeah, how could I have skipped the Tivs?
They are found in the north-central, north-east and south-south.

aydotaone:
Many of us have been added. Sorry for the late response

Yeah, but why have I not been added?
Please, help me tell him to add me too na.

But I've read numerous times that in the Calabar area, dog is a delicacy

The one guy was talking about "kneeling" to greet elders. That is mainly a Yoruba tradition from what I have learned. So in Lagos, would I be expected to do that since it is predominately Yorubaland?

Is Abuja a more equal mixture of Yoruba and Igbo?
I know the Hausa's are mainly in the North.
What above the other tribes..and where they base?

Dog is a delicacy in a few other places. Calabar people are just unfortunate to be flag bearers, lol. Among Yorubas it's the Ondo people that get the sticker but they are not the only ones that eat it. To Muslims eating dogs is considered unclean.

Traditionally, male Yorubas prostrate while females kneel to greet elders. These days men just bow and women bend their knees. Google the controversial image of Theresa may genuflecting to the queen of England to understand how women greet their elders in Yoruba land. Of course not with a hand shake as in the picture. It is not seen as respectful to most Yoruba elders for a younger person to extend their hand first for a handshake. They expect you to wait for them to do so first . Although, you should be the first to greet when you meet an elder. Lagos is cosmopolitan so you may choose to or not to genuflect. What I think is generally acceptable is to add "sir" and "ma" when you greet them and just generally be courteous in the European or American sense.

I was raised in Abuja but I am from and had my university education in the west. In Abuja, after English and pidgin English, the most spoken language is Hausa. Although it is our capital city, it is geographically northern. All the sates surrounding it are geo-politically northern sates.

However, it is the most truly Nigerian city in the country as virtually every group is very well represented.
Before it became our capital, government starting from the '80s, began relocating civil servants from every state of the country to work here. So the city has maintained that national character ever since.
I wish every place in the country were like Abuja in the way you have a mix of every group.

There are too many tribes to talk about. Here are some dominant ones and the regions they live. These are according to their geopolitical zones.

South-South
Ikwere (linguistically classified as igboid)
Izon or Ijaw
Edo
Urhobo
Itsekiri (linguistically classified as Yoruboid)

North-central
Nupe
Igala (linguitically classified as Yoruboid)
Gbagyi
Igbira

North-east
Kanuri
Jukun

Each one of these groups have their unique identities culture and languages separate from the three major languages.

XhosaNostra:
With my borehole?

After a borehole is drilled, if it is not maintained, it closes up.

You'll be fine there. Trust me, I know these things.

XhosaNostra:
It's really not that difficult. After every break up I usually lose interest in sex for years at a time. I don't know why but it takes a certain type of man to spark up that side of me. If I don't meet someone that feels right, I remain celibate for however long it takes, without feeling like l'm missing out on anything. Instead I feel pure physically & spiritually, that can be addictive. Sex does take something out of you, I'm beginning to suspect. Because when I'm in one of my dry spells, I'm almost psychic

Maybe you should enter a convent. Lol

Kingosytex:
this sowore of a guy just wanna spoil business for important candidates...i can bet it any where that sowore does not stand the chance of coming even fifth in the up coming presidential elections

Sowore is top three. You say he can't come fifth. I will remind you when it happens. Please don't deactivate this your account.

Satan66:
African perspective

It is evident you have not read about Paul Kagame and the transformation that's been going on in Rwanda since like year 2000.

It's not every country that's on your level in Nigeria. They are a small country but they are not our mate. Abeg just use Google "Paul Kagame" and "transformation of Rwanda".

Satan66:
No political hates corruption.
They embrace it, Without corruption they'd be broke.

Are speaking from a parochial Nigerian perspective or from a worldwide perspective?

XhosaNostra:
What I don't understand are people who care so much why other races don't like them. This is becoming a trend & it's very annoying. You see people posting stuff like "Such & such race never loved us". Really, who cares? I wish I could shut them the hell up! It just reeks of inferiority complex.

I can never be caught dead dwelling on such issues. How does that help me make an impact in my community?

How far, Southy gal?

hundredrivas:
Na over confidence make okadaman overtake trailer. Kai see as person dey trowey small money wen e get through window.

He is campaigning with donations from well meaning Nigerians. He has a gofundme account where people donate money. And Nigerians have donated over $100,000. The money people have donated will be enough because he is not sharing money.

The masses are fully behind him.

Racoon:
No wonder! So both Garba Shehu & Tolu Ogunlesi once worked with Atiku Abubarka? Meaning Atiku is really a good human resource mentor & manager.

No wonder they're united in propaganda against his come back because of guilty conscience.Zombiesm is a serious chronic disease.

So for your own mind Garba Shehu na human resource? That guy has done more harm than good to Buhari's administration. If it's Atiku that discovered him, he is a minus for Atiku.

The Nigerian middle class likes to wait for the upper class to endorse a person before they can vote for them. If you are a graduate you are in that class- never mind that you may not be there economically. Your intellect places you in it.

Jesus told the Pharisees that they would not accept him because they were seeking one another's approval. The Pharisees were the enlightened people of their time. They were versed in the law and not at the level of the commoners but they needed to see that someone of high social status was vouching for Jesus before they would follow him.

Why do we need OBJ, Tinubu, Danjuma, Babangida and other people in their class to endorse a candidate before we support him or her? Are the above mentioned persons in our class? Do they have our worries? When they were in the middle class in the sixties and seventies and they decided to take over government, did they not just do so?

Here is the news and you know it:
The change you seek will never come from the upper class. No revolution ever does. They say that necessity is the mother of invention. Obasanjo, Tinubu, Danjuma and Babangida do not have the need we have for a revolution. No real change will be brought by the upper class.

lizzybet:
Sowore is the best candidate in the race but truth be told he has no chance.
He has some dues to pay. He needs strong allies and grassroots politicians on which their back he would rode to aso rock.

Let's him pay homage to Tinubu first whom many trusts his judgments and we start fRom there

biafranation:
You mean Yorubas get to together? No reasonable person from other region will support this Igbo/Biafran bigot. If Awolowo killed 3 million Biafrans by starvation, Sowore will kill 5 million by strangulation to show you how much he hates Igbo/Biafrans.

Take your tribal propaganda to APC and PDP we at the AAC do not have time for such pedestrian tactics.

Take it to where it will be entertained.

Optional09:
We are here

Welcome sir, are you a member of his campaign organization? Have you volunteered? If so, what part of the country are you Resident?

Nigerianization:
Sowore is an activist per excellence who belong to the dying breed of TRUE PATRIOTIC NIGERIANS.

Shout out to the late Gani Fawehinmi.

Others are just hustlers eg Festus Keyamo and Shehu Sani

If we support the dying breed their kind won't have to die.

Are you for the AAC?
Are you for Sowore?

couragemurphy:
Take Wetin back? Was he with it before?

He is taking a better Nigeria back

A Nigeria where younger people were leading us.

A Nigeria where undergraduates were fed by government in school

A Nigeria where graduates got employment immediately after graduating.

A Nigeria where the naira had more value than the dollars

Sowore was born in 1971 and he met this Nigeria

So he is leading us to take that Nigeria back.

Support the movement

Support AAC

PFRB:
Please who is Sowore?

He is a vibrant presidential aspirant. Intellectually sound and courageous. Owner of Sahara reporters. Activist and former union president of University of Lagos.
He is the presidential candidate of the Africa Action Congress.
His official slogan is
#Takeitback

Let's talk about how to support him. How involved do you want to be as a supporter? You know we have no cabal to help us but the people. How do we protect our interest and by extension the interest of this nation? Have you joined his campaign organization if you are interested in volunteering. Let's talk about all these and more.

Mobilia

You are right to think this guy is a fraudster. He is.
His tone has changed gradually from the Christian persona he was trying to project at the beginning of this thread to that of a bully as he senses that he is getting into your mind. Now he talks down on and belittles you because he believes he is winning. Then he brings up your anger challenge just to make you look like someone who shouldn't trust their own sense of judgement. He is a manipulator. He is a crook.

I want to tell you that nairaland does not reflect the real Nigerian society. It is not that Nigerians don't behave this way in real life. But you can not experience in your lifetime what you would experience here in a month. Everything here is heightened. It's like watching a biopic and thinking the main character's life was as action packed as that less than two hours movie. You cannot have this many Nigerians being overtly hateful, insensitive, impervious, obnoxious and tribalistic at the same time, everyday of their lives, like people are here.

1. I had never heard of the word "Akata" until about two years ago. And it was on the internet on a YouTube channel where Africans and Black Americans were discussing. And I am 35 years old and Yoruba, the language they say it originates from.

2. I have never witnessed a bomb explosion or known anyone who died in one. I read it in the news like you.

3. I have never known a ritualist or someone who was their victim. I like you read about them in the news. Although I am careful when I take cabs and go to unfamiliar places. I take precautions because I know they are real.

4. I knew people who were fraudsters in the University. Some of them friends at the time.

5. Nairaland encourages tribalism that is why it thrives here. The owner has his reasons. I can assure you that it is deliberate. People don't deal with each other that way in real life. Who has that time or energy?

6. In a society where there are no repercussions for actions, people can do or be anything they want. That is what nairaland is. It is faceless and the owners are not doing enough to regulate it.

I just said these things because I have gone through some of your posts

Let Reno Omokri release the full tape if he knows it is not doctored.

Just like the Atiku 9mobile and Keystone bank accusation, they have no evidence. They can only threaten. That's the propaganda style they have deviced.

Paxie55:
Whatever suit them, actually I don't care.

What suits them is girls that will produce children with their mother's colour

Paxie55:
Lol.

That's the thing.
The fair guys should make themselves dark.

So the fake dark guys will then go after the fake light girls?

Paxie55:
Fair guys always opt for dark ladies.
But then, how many fair guys do we have

But if all the ladies become fair who will the fair guys marry?

EzegeNG:
This is quite unfortunate. A sex tape featuring a secondary school girl and her lover has emerged online and has gone viral on different social media platforms.

According to media reports, the girl is alleged to a student of Mpraeso SHS in Kwahu area of the Eastern Region, Ghana and was filmed knowingly while engaging in a sexual intercourse with her lover.

The girl and her boyfriend were filmed having sex in different positions in a ghetto-like room that had an old-looking student mattress on the floor.

One guy was spotted in the footage sitting and watching and also taking a video of the action. It is not yet known how the video got leaked onto social media but it is fast going viral, especially on Whatsapp.

The video happens to be the second sex tape to have leaked in Ghana barely three days into the new year.

Picture looks like two men having sex.

Paxie55:
But truth be told, Nigerian men are hypocrites.
They will advice the dark ladies not to bleach, but keep going after the fair ones.

If they wanna do video shoot, na fair ladies.
Miss this or that, na fair ladies.
So, what encouragement are you giving the dark skinned ones.


My dad married fair woman cos he loves fair ladies, my bro wants to follow suit.
So,what options do you guys have for the dark skinned ones for encouragement.
Op, I think it's their body too, let's mind our business.

My dad is fair and married my mum who is dark.
Maybe all ladies should go and Darken their skins.

claseek:
They've turned it to yoruba vs igbo. Hahaha!! Very predictable.. mtcheww

Very predictable. They should just ban those two tribes from nairaland so that the rest of us can enjoy the place
