I am currently serving in akwa Ibom, I can tell u that this people don't like strangers.they will always want to extort you, n inflate price for no just cause.i went to alady to buy a bag of water, she told me it's 300 per bag, I was surprised bcus they do buy from the water vehicle at 150 naira per bag,so how come u want to sell 300 naira? I left there, in d evening, I sent my neighbors son, he went, spoke language with them, n bought it 200 naira.

This is a common occurrence in most areas, even Dele Giwa wrote about something like this when he traveled abroad in his book.
But i won't argue further though, we all have our experiences.

garfield1:


They are just like the southeast,very inhospitable. How many nob indigenes do you see there

What brings a non-indigene to a place?

The state is just developing, trying to open up to industrialization. If you have known AKS before now it was just a state filled with civil servants and it's still the same up till this day.

garfield1:


They are not sir,every cross river person knows this.you efiks always cover up for them

It's obvious that you have not resided in any part of the state before.


This isn't a Cross River vs AKS stuff

garfield1:


Aks people are not hispitable man

They are very hospitable.

BlessedSpirit:
Check your mail guys...

Training school mail?

garfield1:


Guy,big lie

What is actually a lie in what i wrote?

Yy

The people of AKS are some of the most hospitable people in the country but they certainly won't tolerate any nuisance behaviour from an outsider.

I know that the Government of Udom Emmanuel will bring the situation under control.

Buhari has his candidate, it will end in a consensus candidate, Buhari understands how to play politics.

They won't use it on their colleagues

Those pushing for Jonathan's return are aware that he can spend only a single tenure.


He should just remain where he is.

Like Buhari, like Jonathan

It seems everyone that has done the medical examination might be called for TS together.

Lagos and Lawlessness

Everybody trying to take glory, well it is part of the political sentiments in this part of the world.

How can a fomer military general be in position of authority and terrorism is a norm in his zone.

He couldn't revive our refinery, he has been unable to build even a modular refinery, electricity situation has not improved, corruption has been emboldened under his watch, there's a very high rate of inflation.

ledaman:
How will he get it? You think it is football ticket I guess Ewu

Your generation is the ewu Gambia.

PointZerom:


Never. They'll switch camp, don't forget that they're jobless. They'll come up with a damage control statement...." BAT or Osibanjo na the same".

I don't usually take nairaland ers serious......
Next month will be interesting.

derecho:
Na him you dey talk small small?
Not even up to 1 week, they'd not allow us rest.Yet they claim Osinbajo is no threat.

OSINBAJO APATINUBULEKUN

I would be watching on the sidelines how things unfold.

Winters23:


No.

They'll simply switch back to Osinbajo will handle the economy

Economy that's steady on negative

Trillions spent on fuel subsidy alone has ruined everything, Osibanjo has little or no knowledge about the Economy.

Maobichek:


No, if we look at it base on Nairaland comments, all BAT ers will snowball into PYO ers.

The current Apc national chairman was called all sorts of names before the convention but those that called him names are now praising him as the man to deliver.

They actually have no choice at the moment other than to the National chairman.

Buhari has something up his sleeves at least for this one last time, in end Adamu will deliver his preferred aspirant.

Useless lots with zero ideology, today you are with the All Progressives Criminals, tomorrow you are a PDP.

This man is speaking the truth

YeyeGbami:
Sapa na ur mate?

This background no dey sapacious

bjdon:


PDP and APC are DIFFERENT parties with different history. APC have had a northern president , so bu the unspoken rule, their next president comes from the South. APC are under NO obligation to micro zone to any region in the south, as they have not yet had a southern president. PDP have produced southern candidates from the SW and SS , so its PDP that have a moral obligation to give the ticket to SE. The SE have been loyal to PDP, and definitely deserve the ticket there. They have no claim to demand the ticket over any other group in A.

I have been trying to explain to him, but it is obvious he wants the Presidential ticket to be placed on his laps. The South South will tell you that they are yet to complete their own two .
If we insist on turn by turn arrangement then it should be elaborate enough to contain even the smallest ethnic group in the country let's see how many years it will take for the Presidency to have a complete cycle round the whole ethnic groups in the country.

Nigeria is on autopilot and idiots do not understand the gravity of such audacity.



Buhari will handle security, Osibanjo will handle economy...... Clowns!

MuMuric on this one

If they start with PeePoo now, tears will litter the whole of Lagos state.

jaxxy:


I said this a rare case of correcting political injustice and u are here talking all manners of things in a circle which only still comes down to my point.

why didn't obasanjo pick another young man after his tenure? u think he only picked Yaradua cos of his relationship with his brother?

it was obviously turn fir the north and he had to follow with it, this applies to South and more specifically South east. it we want to be honest and fair to our political existence and history.

anything else is irrelevant and unjustifiable.

This democracy, the man with the number will alway win.
Nigerian constitution does not recognise 'turn by turn' leadership.

It obvious that you want power to be placed on your lap, to you that's justice and fairness. Ok ooooo

If by chance PYO gets the presidential ticket of the APC, a lot of Tinubu ers might take the suicide route.

jaxxy:


obasanjo cleared the part for yaradua, that means he was preselected he didn't have to work for it.

Bro u are still giving validity to my point. The East can and should be preselected. Obasanjo didn't it like it was done for him and Tinubu has been doing since 1999 in lagos.

Handpicking is not yet a crime,in Nigerian politics especially if it accomplished the national goal not personal goal.

Southeast president can be Handpicked in Apc and Pdp definitely bt they must present good options and the good options in the East may not be the obvious ones declaring and making noise even with poor track records.

Yaradua was Obasanjo's choice, he didn't request for Obasanjo's selection, he was selected because of the relationship Obj had with his elder brother. So if you feel Buhari will do same then fine but don't ask that the Presidential ticket of APC or PDP be given on a platter.
The candidates in the SE could have ralied round APGA then try to see how they can expand their base/reach to other regions in the country but no they want PDP or APC to give them their presidential ticket because they are to big to an open contest.

Just maybe we should ask every single political party to zone their Party ticket to the SE so that we will have a 'South East' president.

Power is contested for in a democratic society, not imposed.
