Politics / Re: ACN & CPC Accuse PDP of floating Another APC by elNegro: 3:00pm On Mar 11, 2013
True to type they are now blaming PDP for their carelessness. It is a straight up thing; I want to register a business name, what do I do? I go to CAC and do my findings quietly to know if my intended company name is available. I don't do that on the pages of national dailies. Another example, I want to register a domain name, I check with host and domain registrars if my intended domain name is available. INEC as a just arbiter cannot and is not meant to inform the Buhari/Tinubu APC about whoever is wanting to register a party. It is plain and simple they did not do their ground work well. Tells a lot about the kind of people they have.

Politics / Re: Ojukwu Killed Lt. Col. Banjo: Why? I Need to get to the root of this matter... by elNegro: 3:12am On Aug 19, 2012
We refuse till date to accept that this were young men at their prime as the 60s Nigeria. In America and other western nations it was the pschedelic,Martin Luther was holding sway, Stokely Carmichael, Huey P Newton and Uncle George (Solidad Brothers) were all involved in giving freedom and equality to the black race in America; but in Nigeria young men were defining the status quo. They believed in something and they fought vigorously for it. Today we find liverless young men, able to write beautiful poetry but still unable to change the world around them, they are the twitter and social network heroes just like El Rufai and the rest of the gang.

Banjo believed in something and that which he stood for he died for.

Have we ever bothered to ask ourselves as Nigerians why we keep bringing up the ethnic card? This person is Igbo, this other is Yoruba, Ijaw or Hausa.
As educated and as well travelled as we are; we have been unable to live by that simple rule that is being applied all over the world, that we have been able to get our second passports from whether it being a yankee kpali or a jand one or any other kpali which states that after a certain period of one residing and working in a place; that person can apply to be a citizen.

My question is why cant a Nigerian aspire to be a Lagos, Warri, Benin, Abeokuta, Okene, Kano or Sokoto or Ibadan person as long as that Nigerian has lived or resided in that place for a period of time?

My take in this ethnic issue is that the indigenisation clause or place of origin must be removed from our constitution if we really want to be called Nigerians.
