You 'ven't heard? We have been without a President for 43 day now!
It is a piece of cake to slam a copyright on cultural proverbs


But you can still use these proverbs if you go through the right channel

Grammar? a yardstick to selecting the political personality of the year? i don't get it.

Abeg, Jakumo brings more than grammar to the table.

Afam and david are not good enough to be on the same list with Becommrich

^ ^ Point of correction .
Becoomrich - president
Jakumo - vice president.
You're ruinin' his future ambition .

Becommrich can't make a good president. There is a possibility of a military take over because of his persistent deployment of the MAPOMEJI weaponry to every issue confronting the nation.

Jakumo on the other hand, will DEFINITELY make a good president because of his avowed stance in defending the defenceless in the society especially the nude young maidens with heavy booties and pairs of milk laden bosoms.

I can't imagine a country that has characters like:
Jakumo = President
Becommrich = Vice President
Beaf = Senate President
Aloy~Emeka = Information Minister
Kobojunkie = Opposition leader

@youngies

Please Abuja is not a state in north-central geo-political region. Abuja is FCT and shares boundaries with Nasarawa, Niger, Kogi and Kaduna states. States in the north-central geo-political region are Niger, Plateau, Nasarawa, Kogi, Kwara and Benue. So Abuja int'l Airport is not meant to be an int'l airport for the north-central region, rather it is an int'l airport in the FCT.

You have not said anything new.

zebra:
you are funny, but you are actually saying the truth.

I'm still wondering why those people are complainig that there is no international Airport in the south-east when there is Port Harcourt int'l Airport close to them. Is it because Rivers state is in south-south or what?

ask your selves, do we have int'l Airport in the nort-east? what about north-central, do they have an int'l airport?? have they complained? They all use the int'l airports close to them that is Abuja and Kano airports; pls igbos in the south-east should use the int'l airport in PH and stop complaining.

Our opinons should not distort FACTS.

North-Central = Abuja Int'l airport

I suggest the OP should start a poll that will be updated as names are suggested.

My nominees are:
Jakumo
Afam
grafikdon

It is worth the effort and time to be wrapped up in Omo. But I am interested in the Hausa-Fulani issue because Nollywood bears the stamp on Nigeria and should be representative of the whole of Nigeria. This is more so because the Hausa- Fulani have been dominant politically for a long while and one would hope that the advantages they have had over time would produce at least one or two actors who can (for example) be compared to OMO in terms of acting excellence.

About Mercy, I honestly did not know that about her but the lady has something.

NL never disappoints!

Political dominance is now = Natural talent/skill/flair
