Says the world best player in his time.

True to eermm... See Yakubu, if is not because I went to studies English Languwage and graduation with First classes, I am sure I play football very best than you.

It is not you again? That eat open net that year?
Please don't invigorate my angry. Probably, allow Okocha and Kanu to talk this talk, not you Yakubu.

RARA!!!!!

you again?

Dedetwo:


Most Africans are dunces. The Biden in US had hinted 2025 as the time to phase out petrol-powered vehicles in US yet most foolish Nigerians want such person in power. When will African learn how to play politics?

dude, the question on your mind should be, when will Nigeria learn to diversify and take an active interest in science, research and industry? You are asking the wrong type of question.

Best news that can ever happen to Nigeria. I wish more countries will follow suit and ban petrol usage. I bet it will serve as the long awaited wake up call.

Less money to steal

Golan007:


There are various positions which other tribes hold sway in.

Taking a snapshot to of positions in which northerners rule is disingenuous.

Also, it is hypocritical to group the north as one when the only thing that merges them together is often religion.

Another thing that must be noted is that they are even more in number than the south.

pls send me a comprehensive list, also to include the religious configuration of the appointment list. The diversity of Nigeria is religious as well as geographical(or tribal). I promise to rest my case afterwards.... thanks

Angelfrost:
Mr. Senator, let's get serious for once...

You can actually have half of Buhari's cabinet from the East, and the region will largely remain underdeveloped... This is not even up for argument.

How does appointing so many people from a certain region or certain regions better the lives of millions living in those regions??! This is a simple yet hard question for many of you to answer.

The things I expect people like you to be addressing and pushing for are as follows:

1. Complete review and amendment of this national constitution.

2. Forensic and intrinsic look into poor governance in most states of the federation, especially the same East you come from.

3. Addressing the hideous and abnormally high cost of governance across the nation, starting from the excessive take home of all elected and appointed officials including you and your fellow charlatans in the senate.

4. Pushing for laws to hinder or stop travelling abroad for all elected officials and their families at the expense of the nation's almost nonexistent funds.

I know he won't bother with the above cos he is a beneficiary of the pathetic and failed system he so hypocritically tries to critique.

This playing to the gallery of dimwits and clueless citizens has become stale, boring, and redundant... Please, give it a rest!!!

especially the East you say? Is there a particularly poor governance in the east different from the poor governance in the north? Or are you indirectly saying that the north even against all empirical evidence is better governed or possess better leadership?

Golan007:


What of FIFA, NASA and IMF?

before you gloat and celebrate think about it, if these positions were completely reversed to favour another part of the country will you still consider it fair? If the fact you are a Northerner(and possibly Muslim) and this does worry you have you ever thought about the fact that the opposite could be the case.

Fairness is the demand here, we cannot run a country as diverse as Nigeria like this. The appointments are too lopsided. When Obasanjo, Yar Adua and Jonathan were in power they applied more wisdom in their political appointments. I REST MY CASE

Lai Mohammed should simply sit this one out. His role in this should be mostly to advise and to douse tension. His vehement denials only makes him an accessory to murder. His methods constitute a decent majority of the problem. I don't know whether he is not aware of the image problem he has with the public. His tactics are not good at all because he tries to continually force his angle of things on everyone.

We know that it is his job to react to issues surrounding this government, and we also know that it is a thankless job, but he should be more diplomatic. People might not like you but they will learn to respect you. Right now, due to his tendencies, he lacks both love and respect. Sad .

If I was known I will have study Politician in School instead of English Languwage.

Nairaland is being paid for single-handedly by one man. The hosting, the domain, the data to manage the adverts and all are one man's investment. It is not a government pet-project. If he wakes up tomorrow morning and puts chooses to snap his butt and put on the forum, it is entirely up to him. And if we don't like it, we go elsewhere. I hope you get the point.

he started the idea does not also mean that oppression should be part of the project. I respect him and his vision but I will not fail to call him or anyone else out for that matter if they do the wrong thing(s).

Baba na we dey pay am incase you don't know. Our presence here is what brings adverts and patronage to Nairaland. Why do you think they put up the over 2.5million ed s at the front page. Na wetin dem use get customers be dat.

Okay oo..dey are Beautiful and handsome ��..I hope Amadu no go mistakenly nack Ahmed wife..abi Aisha no go mistakenly bleep her sister's husband

Neddstark:


Go and start up your own forum

that is how people say that if we are not satisfied with the way the country is run we should leave. The country as well as Nairaland belong to Nigerians one way or the other. We need a country where we can express ourselves without unnecessary hindrances. I was never rude or ridiculous, I simply made use of the word 'protest' to express my dissatisfaction about the way things are going on in the country. You quoting me shows you have dictatorial tendencies.

Today the country is in rubbles economically and our dear government is more interested in seeking out EndSars protesters and ing hate speech bill. Trump lost elections and his ers still came out to protest. Trump makes a lot of controversial statements and yet nobody is talking about hate speech bill or social media control bill, is America and Nigeria not both democratic countries? I REST MY CASE!!

Kennitrust:
is it a must to be on nairaland?

dude it's my opinion. Kindly let it be....thanks

techmalldotcom:

you are hereby rebanned

democracy is about freedom, the freedom to express should be basic. It is a constitutional right. I also be believe that freedom should not transcend into interfering with the freedom of others but at the same time it should be allowed.

Nairaland is a big DISGRACE,
the other day I posted a comment with the word PROTEST and got banned by the s. It seems the fear of censoring has already infiltrated the minds and entire bodies of Nairaland s and their actions has become that of cowards. As for me I will continue to resist cowardice in all its ramifications.

How can the country become better if we don't stand up to speak and resist evil. How can ability be achieved without dissenting opinions and refined criticisms. Nairaland s you are all living in fools paradise, by the time that useless hate speech bill is ed then you will know the effects and importance of media freedom.

Shame on Nairaland s for playing Buhari's game and that of his stooges.
SHAME! SHAME!! SHAME!!!

Protest is not a crime, it happens everywhere in the WORLD

jackslow:
stop facing north face the problem, if you have been to the North you will know that they have the highest number of people living in abject poverty

and yet they keep giving birth to kids at an alarming rate. Should the federal government be the one to shoulder such responsibility? National Almajiri System of Government that is the name of this useless endeavour that they are embarking on. Opportunity for looters to loot

Perfecttouch:
Lol
Nothing surprising about this government anymore, na to survive am till 2023 remain.. So they should bring out all the hidden badluck out at once so we can know what to deal with..
These pick 2, pick 3, hold on, hold on don tire us..
They should just give us their general market make we Sabi d kin market we buy

Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu

I draw inspiration from his back to back defeat with two different parties

modsfucker:
Always looking up to their almighty US to come to their rescue, forgetting that the US also has its own internal problems to deal with.

If not that these so called Nwankor Professor is so dull, what does the US stand to gain by intervening in endsars protest matter? America only pursue its interests and nothing more.

That's the lowest low one can stoop.

story for the Gods

Coldie:
When the north wants to make a decision concerning the north they all meet and discuss and make a collective decision, there's no way leaders from 19 states would meet the they won't make a decision that Nigeria won't shake.

But if in the south they want to mam a decision only SW would meet or only SS would meet or only SE would meet at the end their decisions won't hold any ground.

The SS is holding a meeting on their own concerning oil thats found in other southern regions, other southern regions should boycott the meeting and any decision they make.

Baba if militancy resumes this mouth wey you get go disappear.....na beg Nigeria go dey beg. The only thing running this country is old not Gold

favor914:
Joker, was it their fore fathers that planted the natural resources in the region, all resources belongs to We the People Of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

then the same rule should be applied to Nigeria

babaolofin:


I don't need to lecture you about Norway. I will be wasting my time. Telling you about Statoil and Norsk Hydro and the merger will be time wasting. Norway population is less than 6 million about the size of Orile / Ajegunle in Lagos but Norway made more revenue from Fishing than what Nigeria with estimated population of 200 million makes from oil. , Nigeria through the North also carry the burden of Niger and Chad.

We have no comparism at all with Norway. I chose America because of British our colonial masters.


Nigeria existence is based on Colonial masters Laws and Constitution, that Laws and Constitution are based on Federalism and Regionalism. We are ed together by force by the Colonial masters. We must obey the Constitution handed over to us at Independence.

I used America as an example because of similarities in the Federalism handed over to us by the British.

The British did not make resources in one Region the properties of all Regions when they ed us together by force for their own benefits. The Colonial Masters used Federalism and Regionalism.

Baba your sense cannot be questioned.

franciskaine:
I'm yet to read anywhr Trump asked Americans to protest or turn violent over election matter. When the Democrat ers whr jubilating over the victory did you condemn dem?

de-escalation should have been used. The job of a president is not to siddon look. He should have called for calm. He is president for crying out loud and will remain so till the middle of January next year.
