The Yoruba's conquered kingdom as far as Ghana, and repelled jihadist from the North. What kingdom did your own tribe conquer?

And yet you were beaten black and blue by women from benin republic.
Repelled jihadists? Don't let the emir of kwara hear that.
There are no islamic heritage in my homeland. That is what it means to repel jihardists.

Setaje:
And before some idiots come to say they are cowards. Remember that before we became one Nigeria, yorubas have fought so many wars within themselves. War is never the answer to any question. Nothing as worthy as dialogue, diplomacy and respect of boundaries.

Cowardice is a relative term. Most ethnics in africa also fought intra-tribal wars. No big deal.
The fact that they fought themselves does not mean they have the courage to go to war with another major ethnic.

martineverest:
when kachikwu was appointed,u were the first to at he's not Ibo...ikas culture is 80% bini culture

Don't make me say what will get me banned. My mother is from ika.
There are no benin there. The culture is not benin, neither is the names.
Have you seen anybody in ikaland bearing osakpolor or aisien or osazuwa?
The names which is a direct indication of the overwhelming culture are igbo names.
Don't overstep your boundaries.

pretydiva:
Buhari has done it again

Buhari did not do anything.
I don't think he even knows about any thing in Nigeria called NASRDA. Atleast he has not changed the leadership officially.

babyfaceafrica:
Wailers will not be happy..God bless Nigeria

It is not even buhari's product.
NICOMSAT engineers were trained by the jonathan's administration in a british company.
The little progress Nigeria made in satellites is courtesy of jonathan. Buhari had nothing to do with it.
The PRESSID scholarship programme that produced many of the engineers have been cancelled by your current president.

funlord:


Nobody would even care if it turns out to be true. The chap is nothing but a bloody coward!

He is anything but a coward.
Cowards are almajiris being used and dumped by their northern oligarches like you.

erico2k2:
Thank U.imagine e comparing ammount spent in Ghana to our problem.I say palm wine bar economics

Economics of unproductive austerity, brown -roof economics, osun-model economics,oluwole economics.
The abokii and the green-horn minister of finance are a match made in heaven. Emefiele better jump out of that boat.
His boss jonathan is no longer there to practice a progressive free economy.

Ofcourse, it is always the sycophants from that part of Nigeria that would rise up to the challenge of defending the indefendable.
I saw the author, read a few lines and left.
Who has time for oluwole economics?

The ministry of power, works and housing has a paltry allocation of 500b, when software, cars and others rubbish are gulping billions.
What kind of development are we talking about.?
China's new hydro-power dam costs a whooping $20b and here we are allocating N500b for three key ministries and wasting much on irrelevancies.

omenka:
PDP supporters are gonna chew this right to its marrow- at last they've found some water shed under the scorching sun to quench their thirst.

That said, there's no budget the world over that is perfect, reason we have a Legislative arm of government to moderate the activities of the executive and vice versa.

Come what may, the proposed expenditure for cars is a no-no for me.



PS: Where is Ihejirika?? Given all the revelations we've seen in the #Dasukigate, I think it is time we invited Steven Davis to come tell us more about what he knows about Boko Haram and Ihejirika's sponsorship.

This is not an imperfect budget. This is a preposterous bugdet.
And when the budget is this bad, then there is really nothing to look forward to. Even the corrupt jonathan had a relatively more realistic and development-oriented budget, though it was still very poor in implementation.
Everything depends on the budget. Throwing dasuki into jail will not add to a minute to Nigeria's life expectancy.

shamack:
Anything from Aba is FAKE.........#Lagosians say so

And yet you can't produce toothpick.
This is how you africans downgrade chinese products while china silently became an economic and military powerhouse in just 30 years.

Cowardice is not the worst thing in the world. It is better than being a treacherous snake.

What a bloody lie. Which sensible investor will come and invest now with the various economic summersaults of this government.?
The jonathan template for the automobile industry has been thrown out of the window or completely reversed.
Airlines and other multi-national coys are making plans to finally move out of the country due to unfavourable cash policies of this govt.
Propagandists.

MXrep:
I don't know why yoruba claim political wizardry just because they rode on Buharis fanatical and violent northern deliquents to put a mere comissioner in aso rock. Go and check Dogaras committee appointment and see where his alliance lies, even Gbaja started protesting.

Buhari is the only politician in the north that can command the kind of fanatical support that would render southern votes almost irrelevant.
I thought maybe el-rufai was the ''new buhari '' but his recent rancour with the shia muslims and his controversial style of governance has weaken him somewhat.
It would take a while to get another buhari again which is definitely good for SE/SS politics.

agabusta:
Of course Igbos will definitely line up for the duo. Which is based on emotions and not sound judgement. This pair will make APC jettison Okorocha as Igbos will not vote for him. APC's hope will therefore fall on their support in the North and SW.

Igbos sentimentally supporting this pair does not mean they will achieve victory. The last election has shown us that. Even though, the Igbos and the SS were 90% behind GEJ, he still failed just because he only had the majority support of the two regions.

Buhari won becos he had the majority support of 4 zones.

Frankly speaking, this ticket can only boast of majority support in the SE. SW will never vote for Saraki en-masse.

Either Buhari or an El-Rufai will conveniently clean out the votes of the NW and NE, which has an enviable voting population.

The votes of the NC, SW and SS will be fought for seriously.

While Saraki/Ekeremadu may edge out a slim victory in the SS if Akpabio supports them to the core, this will be put at a manageable level by Oshiomole, Sylva, Udoma, Amaechi, and others who hold forth for APC in the SS. I also have a great feeling that Ogboru of Delta would have decamped to the APC by then.

El-Rufai /Buhari while still retaining Osinbajo as Vice will edge out the votes of the SW.

The NC will be a battle ground zone which will be equally shared.

If per adventure the desperate & treacherous Saraki get hold of the ticket of the PDP and Buhari decides not to contest, this may even brighten the chances of a SW candidate combined with a Northern VP.

APC fielding a Fashola/Dogara may be the end result. This pair will flog Saraki/Ekeremadu hands down.

Fashola is loved in the SW. And if he performs well in his current assignment, which he sure will, based on his brilliance and antecedents. The sky will be his limit.

Dogara is a smart cool chap. Who I think PMB will like to work with. With PMB and El-rufai supporting him and campaigning for him seriously in the North, he will deliver majority votes of the NC, NW and NE.

I think your calculations are emotional and wrong.
The last election did not deliver a full strength south eastern electorates which would definitely change if ekweremadu runs.
Buhari is the only politician in Nigeria that can successfully defeat saraki in an election.Being a master strategist, Saraki already has his allies in the north already. He just need the southern support which he would definitely get from the SE/SS.
The only politician that can stop saraki is buhari. If buhari runs, then saraki would have wait till 2023.
The fact that you mentioned fashola is laughable. He is sellable but not against saraki's political machinery.
Even buhari who is a god-like figure in the North did not win for over 12 years on the back of merit alone.
Btw, calling the SE decision to vote saraki as emotional is hypocritical coming from a South westerner. We all remember the talks of the so-called marginalization under jonathan and how it affected the voting pattern in the SW.

Looks promising.
With a relatively meagre 1.5 million votes difference to buhari coupled with south-eastern apathy in the last elections, 2019 could be a very different ball game.
And saraki is probably the smartest political strategist in Nigeria today which is a very important factor in the whole scenario.

tuale4u:
what buhari is doing is far better than the impunity of PDP. PDP was a mafia gang.

How is it different?
Is tinubu amaechi or fashola better than other PDP thieves being hunted? The same tinubu that has been known to feed fat on insider contracts in lagos state.
Imagine a PDP presidency hunting fashola and tinubu and leaving the likes of dasuki and anenih to roam free. That is exactly what buhari is doing.
You people are not serious in that country, and the rest of the world is passing you all by on the development train.

queentell:
i totally disagree with you

And why is that?
Would an investment in kano spare you in a religious riot?

Onijagidijagan:
thanks for trusting yorubas with ur igbo properties....but i'll tell nw that ..you igbo people has no properties in the SW u just a borrowed these properties 4 sometime...there is no igboland in Oduah land when u r through with it, it goes to Oduah govt. we have traditional laws too.

Exactly. Thank you for re-emphasizing it.
Igbo investments in other part of Nigeria is transit. It is irrelevant and not reliable.
The future of generations unborn should not be mortgaged because of some phantom investments.

2sex:
yeah, as long as you don't have investment, it's easier for you to rubbish another man's sweat.

lol. Sorry, my investments are in my homeland.
Of what use is an investment in abuja, when there is no possible future there? It takes one or two religious or ethnic riots and the so-called investments are gone.
Your country is a fraud.

Land investments are irrelevant compared to the destiny of millions of generations unborn. Of what use is the land when Nigeria will always remain a shitthole and a potential drain?
Israel is the size of delta state and Nigeria would never be in her class in a million years.

There is no beef.
Nigeria is not in south africa's class, not for lack of potential though.

And what is the relevance of this junk?
I appreciate the creativity of the aba folks , but this is rubbish.
I can't blame them though. It is a problem of lack of national direction and the hopeless nation they have found themselves.
If Nigeria was a feasible country, the significant percentage of aba would have been converted to defence industries cum strategic zones producing relevant 21st century weapons coupled with research and devt in missiles studies and strategic defence programmes to secure Nigeria in this perilous times of ''every man for himself''.
Nigeria, if it were a feasible nation at all, would have long toed the path of china by buying relevant and scarce military and commercial technologies, sending them straight to aba for reverse engineering and mass replication and then applied in national development.

GstringAngela:
The daughter of the Governor is an ibo girl and she got married to a yoruba guy.

This is one of the many reasons why i often say that those shouting abour biafra are majorly hopeless and jobless ibo miscreants ............... Can Governor Ifeanyi Okowa's daughter hit the street in protest of one phantom biafra country ?

When did the marriage of a single woman ever became a basis for nation hood?
You are basing the destiny of millions of people of a thing as fickle as marriage.
I wonder why Nigeria is not a single country with Ghana given the high rate of inter-marriages between both.
Gspot angela You must be a dumb pornn star.

One naijeria . Laughable concept.

One thing is certain though, his present visage must be beautiful than words can describe after taking up his real heavenly form.
Even, john was left spell-bound in his mesmerizing splendour. That is what heaven does a man.

Let the igbos pull out of lagos and yet these ngbatic demons hate the idea of biafra.
Dumb Fucckers who wants to eat their cake and have it.
One Naijeria dimwits.

Nigeria should not even make the list of any decent military annal. Backward in every aspect.
Kenya and rwanda would kick their as$ anyday, let alone the bigger boys of egypt, algeria, southafrica and ethiopia.

NewNigeriaMind:
\

Seun totally in support of this.

Nairaland is to promote Nigeria and Nigerians.

The chance of promoting a world-acclaimed shitthole.
