If you are not rookies, why haven't you produced a president since 1962? Igbos are politically naive. That's why their only response to their perceived marginalisation is threats of secession.

Most of the heads of state were military juntas who seized power and the igbos were still smarting from the effects of the civil war and so their absence was understandable.
The first democratic president got there via accident. He didn't plan for it, but he was given straight from prison.
Yar'adua got the presidency after him due to north-south zoning formula and then jonathan got it again via the VP position which was given as compensation to the niger-delta.
There was definitely not way ndi-igbo would have cropped up as president in this listed scenarios.

That awkward moment when the political experts in the country are cattle-herders, paedophiles and inbreeders, and the most civilized and independently minded are regarded as rookies.

Is it not a shame that in the entire sophisticated Southwest there isnt any state or private owned airfield?

So if there was no federal govt you people will not build an airport?

Only Lagos, Ibadan and Akure have airports and even at that they were constructed by the FG.

Delta has 3 functional commercial airfields and one landing strip in Escravous. All these airfields are owned and managed by the state (ASABA) and private firms with none of them owned by the FG.

Akwa Ibom got tired of waiting for the FG and constructed their own airport.

Bayelsa is currently constructing an airfield.

The only talk of airport we have heard in the Southwest is the phantom Lekki airport

Even poor northern states like Kebbi and Jigawa have their own state constructed and operated airports.

They are rabid socialists.
They depend on the state a lot, which is why their one-nigeria by force stance is not surprising.
Imagine a case where the SW have been starved of federal presence just like the SE, and what you get is a complete pre-historic nightmare.

Investors and economic indicators don't even trust any member of buhari's team.
There is no body with the influence and reputation of Okonjo iweala to atleast paper the cracks, assure them and keep the investments flowing.

Federal character should be applied.

I really wonder how Nigerians get motivated to watch age grade competitions. The players are most times overaged and the vast majority if not all of them never get to the senior team anyway.
What is the motivation behind this frenzy when the purpose for the competition is never fufilled?

Of what benefit is this to Nigeria?
It is not like there is any national policy to harness exceptional Nigerians for national growth like india did.

After 12 years of running for office like a possessed slowpoke , he is just inaugurating his cabinet after months.
Trudeau of canada inaugurated his hours after he got sworned in.
Third world and first world leaders. The difference can never be more clear.

Her as$ is flat. Not impressive at all.
Anyway, different strokes for different folks.

what could be more pertinent than a country splitting apart? without a country, there would be no buhari as the president of the country.

Countries don't just split. There are factors that trigger such. Those factors are the more pertinent issues.
And there are worse things than splitting. The sad lose of lives in various parts of the north is worse than spliting.

DaBullIT:
First, i do not need to know how often you traveled

Second, US economy is sustainable , they depend on Electricity , Nuclear and thermal/ solar sources of power for industries and automobiles

Third, USA does not export crude for refining else where

For these reasons and more, you can't compare how much gas is sold in USA with that of Nigeria

Thank you

I know you would never be this rational under jonathan.
I am sure if i comb your post history, i would find where you were asking for very low pump price under the jonathan govt.
