Dey there dey reason from your anus the whole of north know the consequences of power not return to southern Nigeria in this coming election. However power will never return to southern through peter obi it get why .

Nigeria may withness a very serious civil unrest if power remain in the North. It was between government and some groups/agitators, but then would be between government and many agitating groups backs by elites and politicians. The president would want to use force to silent them, which will further aggravate the situation.

Another scenario is forceful restructure. Southern opposition politicians in collaborate with SGF, law makers, Tinubu allies, Obi supporters and formal PDP G-5 headed by Wike will do whatever in their capacity to push for regionalism.

Tinubu had been badly demarketed by the Buhari administration. A protest vote is bound to badly affect Tinubus chance. It will take Gods grace and peoples love for APC to take anything in the forthcoming election. I have never seen a party preparing to win an election in 30 days inflicting this maximum pain on the electorates.

Exactly, even Yorubas has started questioning themselves why they should vote for anything APC again. How can can a party that want to win election allow lingering fuel scarcity and naira redesign policy/scarcity of new naira notes a month to election.

The pain is unbearable for the masses, like you've rightly said, a protest vote, especially in the South may send APC packing.

See me see something ooo.
I pulled over at a filling station last week (Monday to be precise) with my nephew in the car. I needed to buy PMS which cost 10k but I didn't have enough cash with me so I asked my nephew to borrow me which he did without hesitation.
We headed home happily with no single problem.

On Saturday, I gave him 70k to buy some items he will take to school since he's going back to campus next month. He thanked me and my babe was really happy for him. They both rejoiced and thanked me. I was glad I could give him such amount ( there is this joy that comes with giving someone/ helping someone. Especially when it's a relation).

To my greatest surprise, this boy met me this evening and asked for his 10k. As in, the one he borrowed me for fuel.
In his words " Uncle, you have not given me the 10k you borrowed to buy fuel"

I don't even know what to say.

Abeg, people in the house, what should I do?
If you were me, what would you do?

nlfpmod

There is big difference between what you borrow and what you gave as gifts.

You should have giving him the 10k before the 70k
or 60k gift. Learn to fulfil your promise to people even though you did them a big favour.

not restructuring but total disintegration, restructuring won't solve shit!

And after the said total disintegration, who and who will champion the courses of each nationality if not the same hopelessly corrupt elites/politicians?

We need to test the process first through Regionalisation or true federalism where each geo-political zone will be totally independent and pay royalty to federal government to manage national armies and foreign affairs. Regionalisation is a stepping stone to self determination or independent. You can't just wake up and demand for the country to break up without considering some issues attaching us collectively.

It is a recipe for disaster to start a new country with these set of Nigerians (including me and you), without making the current system work and produce better humans resources that will champion the courses of new nation.

Nasige:
Is this actually biblical or just western practices

Not biblical to the best of my knowledge. This is why people see Christianity as a joke of religion. These crook called themselves pastors/Bishops always bend the rules where it doesn't suit them.

Timothy 2: 11. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
2:12 . But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Deuteronomy 4:2, You must not add anything to what I command you or take anything away from it, so that you may keep the commands of the Lord your God I am giving you.

olab059:
Nah! Not all... Some like OP still have value.

Lolz, the remaining 1% are states, and federal first ladies, top CEO who earns in Dollars, and Mrs. Folorunso Alakija category of women.

If op is not among these kind of women, bring #2.5m and let me have her house address.

Fazeman25:
You yourself know that your gender will never listen to this your advice till it's too late 🤔

The funniest of it all is that, if you give the same op giving out warning #2.5m, she won't think twice to open her legs yakata.

99% of Nigeria women, married or single can hardly reject huge money for sex, especially where they won't be caught.

Porpulace:
Will the government enact the same law for every other course, Sir? Why only for Medicine? Are other courses not subsidized as well.

In order of cost, medical students pay one of the highest fees in the Nigerian educational system. Then they have to buy textbooks worth tens of thousands of Naira.

Teachers will soon start leaving. Will you tell the government to hold them down too?

Government do to other courses as well but not as significant as medical departments. Go to any federal University, the difference in tuition fees between medical science students and others are just token. I gave an example of during my time in school in another post. It is still the same today, and they enjoy more facilities than other students on campus.

Kobonaire4:
Do as sane countries do and raise the tax to gdp ratio and remove subsides on petrol and power...so that there would be more money for the medicos to stay.

You are 100% right. Unlike those quoting me up and down without considering the capacity of government to pay them the same amount as their colleagues oversee.

If doctors are paying 6 millions naira a month and government stopped subsidising the sector, how many of us can spent over $50k to acquire the training in our universities here? How many of us can pay $10,000 for a surgery we can easily get less than 200k here in Nigeria?

clinician2x:
Government should not enact law that will stop them from oversea medical trip but use the funds to invest in our hospitals.

Govt should rather enact laws to stop people from going to where they will be appreciated.

A resident doctor here earns 250k a month but 6m a month in U.K.

You are a fool.

And you are a biggest fool. No one dispute the fact that our government need to do more as I clearly stated in the post you slowpoke quoted.

Go and compare the average training fees of a resident doctors in UK or US and that of Nigeria first before you compare salary. I will say it again, government spend alot on each doctor before they graduate from universities.

During my time in school, we were paying 4,500 as school fees, while medical students pays about 5,900. The difference was not upto 2000. They were giving the best hostels, labs and many other advantages on campus. Do you know how much it cost government to finance faculty of medicine in each university? Go and verify before you start spewing trash.

In as must as we want our government to do more for them, we should not always justify the trend because of that. If all doctors leave, it will only affect poor Nigerians and not political classes.

Xchii:
The British contraption is gone, none of these corrupt presidential candidates can fix it. Yoruba Nation is the only way forward now!!!

God bless yous sir. No current Nigeria politicians can fix Nigeria with her obsolete British arrangements, likewise Yoruba or Biafra nations would not solve anything. We are better off as Country, all we needed at this junction is true federalism or regionalism.

Federal government has no business taking about 50% share of its allocation, the same way wasteful state governments has no business taking another 35%. Nigeria is a large populated country, untill we give local governments that are very close to people significant share of allocation, there won't be any development in Nigeria.

Although doctors are not well paid and their working condition cannot be compare with those in Europe and Ameica, I will suggest government should enact a law that will mandate any trained doctor within Nigeria educational system to practice for at least 10 years before he/she will be eligible to seek employment in another system or country. This is the best way to make them appreciate or useful to a system that subsidise their training for them. Government too should try as much as possible to increase doctors pays and improve their working condition.

Medicine science is an highly expensive department, if not that government subsidise it heavily, many of these doctors won't be able to pay the tuition fee, let alone other equipments needed for their practicals.

Virtually all graduates are underpaid in Nigeria, and alot of us are still coping one way or the other. Government is useless, but we should not allow our grievances to cause another grave problem in the future. If all competent doctors and nurses leaves, then what is the hope of a common man who need urgent medical attention. What is the usefulness of spending billions of tax payers money to train them and not useful to the same system?

Whoever wrote this know nothing about politics. Obi and Kwankwaso are dviding PDP votes, and you are here talking about chances of APC.

If not for the emergency of Obi and Kwankwaso, then another Fulani ticket by Atiku, PDP would definitely send the pathetic APC home. As it stand today, APC would rather worry about Kwankwaso up north than Obi because with their structures and incumbency power, they will secured more than 25% in 25 states.

Kwankwaso as VP to Obi or any other southerner would've made the difference.

KeyEndurance:
The House Belong To My Late Mother I Cant take Them From There So That Another woman With Her Children Will Take Over

In that case, you don't have issue with her but your dad. Talk to him, and hear his side of the story.

I will be realistic with you, the only option aside taking your subbings out of that house is to make peace with that woman and your dad. She promise to take them as her children, so allow her to train them the way it seem best to her. They will learn from experience and become better women in the future. The only time you should listen to them is when you confirm she stop them from attending school or stop feeding them. I am not judging your sisters but there must be something they are doing that made your dad obeyed her and sent her out.

Why would you have a thought of killing human being, you are a potential murderer.

Tell your sister to obey her command at home or simply take them out of that place. It is common among Yong children of late co-wife to disrespect their step mums. Find the root cause of this problem and settle the matter.

He is simply passing the message. Only smart people will understand.

They should've even cut their pri-ck with the cable. Very anyhow corrupt officials. If you check well, one of them must have embezzled the money meant for the outstanding charges.

Penguin2:
Lol!

You actually know nothing.

Shey you are seeing the reactions of his followers who are mostly Rivers people?

Wike is on his way to political oblivion if he endorses Tinubu like I know he would.

Nobody has ever defeated the people, and hundreds of Tinubu and Wike will not be the first.

Game on!

Lolz, these people knows politics more than a lay man like you. If you understand the power that Governors processed in their respective state, you won't be talking like this. Do you know how many thousands of people benefiting under them? These people won't allow their daily bread to just go like that, they will do everything to make their benefactor happy.

For instance, if you are among the 200,000 personal assistants he recently employed, would you block your source of income and vote another candidate? If he mandated each person to bring 5 votes, that is 1 million votes. These guys are very smart more than what you think, what if the agreement with the 200k people is to collect all their packages after delivering 10 votes each? Will you forfeited millions of naira package and work for another candidate with nothing? Governors has absolutely power to deliver at least 40% vote in their states.

rooftops:
Guy you go wicked o, 7 years friends with benefits. You no even one day ask am if she go marry

He is not a wicked man, infact he is a nice man to the core. The fact that he always reminded her about her stands in his life and not promise her anything is enough to applaud him.

The babe is fish brain and unworthy woman to take as wife. Which woman in her right sense will agree to do friend with benefit for 7 years? Op should ignore her totally, she is a big liar, she must have met different men and had sex with them, just that she didn't not see a suitable one to settle down with, and started playing emotional game on him.

bonechamberlain:
I expect ASUU to declare strike few days to the elections so that every reasonable student can go and vote out this useless APC.

Afterall FG is yet to pay their 8months salary.

Stay there and be deceiving yourself. I was listen to Atiku campaign in Oyo state today on Radio, I could clearly heard the voice of students union leader in South west presenting endorsements certificate to Atiku.

Youths and students of Nigeria are unserious beings, they are the least any serious politician should bank on for block votes. They are only motivated by emotion and money during election, besides majority of them won't even come out that day.

How would he made a difference if he follow the same unworkable constitution.

We are just deceiving ourselves thinkng Nigeria will function well under this stupid arrangements. Let do away with this constitution first before we talk about a leader to steering the course.

I will never vote any politician again until Nigeria adopted true federalism or regionalism.

kenedyx:
I already gave him the list of all the materials I need so coming around to say I need only 60% now would come off as suspicious. Thanks though.

Yes, it would looks so since you'd shown your displeasure about his quotation. It would've been easier if nothing of such happened.

But to be honest, If there is no prior agreement between both of you to supply at inflated price, then he is a wicked brother. Just buy it from him and allow the peace to rein. But from now on, make sure you do whatever in your capacity to be free from his influence.

kenedyx:
I got a huge contract through my brother's company.

The contract is securely in my possession now and I've been fully paid. Initially, the plan was for my bro to supply me the materials

But the issue now is the quotation he's giving me is way higher than what I'm getting elsewhere.

I've asked him to beat down his price but he's adamant. I plan on sidelining him if he doesn't do the needful.

Guys any thoughts on this?

You should've adopted a good strategy the moment you see his bogus quotations and the cheaper ones from other source. He got you the contract, same way he is expecting you 100% to buy materials from him, don't jeopardise your relationship with his person because of today.

I will do this if in your shoes, the moment I see his quotations, I won't even say anything, I will just reduce what I need to buy, 60% from him and get the 40% from other source. He won't suspect anything, since I did not argue or protest his price.

tayo60:
Anytime she does that, withdrawal your attention from her ,stop doing whatever you normally do for her.

Op, please follow this advise, this is only way you can correct such a woman. You don't need to abuse her or talk back at her, just withdraw your attention and act as if she does not exist. She will read the message, and when she finally open up for apology, let her know your action was a result of her disrespectful nature.

breakthrough22:
Power outage and the phone was ringing ?

It is ok. THANKS for the advice

Maybe you have been making the same statement over and over gain, and she feel like honouring your wish to punish you.

If that was not the case, just know that your wife is no longer in love or respect you. No woman will leave her cherished marriage when nobody really pursue her. He is probably being deceiving by a guy or her Ex.

Stop calling anyone again, she will come back when you is tired.

babasolution:
If truth be told,banter aside the south east and south south states ,even the northern states are more beautiful than the southwest states.

This is the reality,even Ibadan and abeokuta though developed is not as beautiful as most northern states.

The southwest have very rustic cities
I think the southwest should look into remodeling and beautification of its cities

Kaduna as been remodelled and upgraded, kano has been remodelled.

Less popular cities like Bauchi are far more beautiful than southwestern cities.

What is wrong with southern Nigeria, is it the governments or people?

It was result of early development. When those building were constructed, some Nigeria cities in other regions today were probably still living in core villages with no single sign of civilization. Old building at cities centre are sign of early development or civilization, it is just unfortunate that SW don't have visionary leaders who are bold enough to destroy those buildings and replace them with something better.

Meanwhile, i will agree with you that many south west cities are full of old buldings at city center but that doesn't mean they don't have many developed areas within the same cities. Besides, many SW state are very big in land mass, there are alot of beautiful places within the same cities/states that if concentrated in one place like most state are doing, they would've probably rated as best cities in Nigeria.

Let me use Ibadan as example, the city centre is nothing to write home about, a lot of old buildings and poor planning roads network, but if you drive around the city, you will think it not the same city.
