Not at all ...it's about south seeing the bigger picture and understanding that without us coming together in the south in an equitable agreement the north would keep ruling ...simple as that

Even if it takes 100 years for dumb people to get it no problem

We know the region that turned to cannibals the first time they found themselves in opposition. Beautiful bride politics failed them big time.

Are you sure in 100 years they wouldn't have finished eating themselves?

NGpatriot:


So, you mean Igbo people won't do anything as long as Yoruba people are not allowed into Aso Rock?

..but this is not about Yoruba people, this is about Igbo people being compensated by the PDP for their loyal support and ready made votes since 1999

We don't want compensation we want everything or nothing!!

joyandfaith:


And Buhari administration/ Amaechi cannot cancel it as they did to some of Gej policies. I wish Seun can terminate your contract as a moderator because you are too biased.

You can't handle facts, just throwing tantrums

MONTHLY DIVIDEND IS GOOD IS LIKE COLLECTING RENT
I love monthly dividend, expecially when the stock gives a [b]yield of above 10%, [/b]Also note that the stock QYLD is an ETF that is fairly stable in price no matter what happens in the market.

This type of stock is a protection against a bearish market.

This is one of the reasons we love Global Stocks. There are still stocks that are safe, income producing and stable.

Stay with us for the best information on Global stocks.

Over 500 followers on twitter are not following for fun, they believe we have the stuff. https://twitter.com/AnalysisTarget

30% tax rate is high oh.

And we are complaining of 10% tax on dividends in Nigeria

EKONGKING:
If it's ADB candidate or vice president ,I will vote for them .
Not because any religion ,but because they proven themselves.
However, if its former lagos governor ,Iam dead against him.
South East and South South have no credible candidates.
If PDP presents a good alternative candidate unlike atiku ,I might consider them too.

This is my honest opinion with respect to politics in nigeria

Why are you answering questions not asked?

Our people truly need this IELTS thing

freshkpomo:
when I saw OBJ talking on TV today, the first thing that came to my mind was that this man wish he could turn back the hands of time and be president again.. he looked like someone in deep regret.. our leader know they hurt us, they know they did not use their offices properly. But it's always too late for them... Now the cycle continues because we have some followers like Mrs Mannabbqgrill cheering them in evil.

Many will regret on their death bed!! When you are dying, it's like a movie.. your brain start flashing all the wrings you did.. it's inevitable!!

And we should take those who gave Atiku 12m votes last year as seeking for good leadership

teejayreal:
These people just talk as if they're talking babies. So obasanjo successor is why a big rice is over 30k now. All of you are just doing yourself

It is still this food, no other emotion beyond the immediate stomach

nzeobi:
Obasanjos successor yaradua is the best president we have had in this dispensation.

An honest and detribalized Nigeria.
Absolute Respect for the rule of law.
Institutional and electoral reforms.
Peace and justice for the Niger delta.

If yaradua was healthy and finished his tenure, we won't be where we are today

Yaradua ordered the closure if channels when a false news about his death was announced.
He was a poster boy and protector if ibori. He quickly removed Ribadu as EFCC chair immediately Ibori was arrested and pretended he was sending him to school in Kuru. Eventually gunmen were pursuing Ribadu until he ran to exile. Ibori eventually had his 170 count charge thrown away, until he pled guilty of sane offences in UK all under your Mr Rule of law.

He reversed the sale of refineries in 2007 without any plan on what to do with them. They are still moribund till today,

He encouraged a winding and unending investigation into power sector investment under Obj, which yielded no fruits or any convictions for crime. Meanwhile all further works on reforming the power sector was suspended waiting for the probe. At least Jonathan did something though with lots of flaws, Yaradua did nothing.

It was an arrant waste of 3 years and reversal of previous gains and growth. The sentiment being displayed is just the pity because he died in office of illness

alizma:
So, you must be persuaded that the person succeeding you will continue with your programmes and will like you as a person.

politics is not mathematics. You can’t say if I put this person there as my successor, my future is guaranteed. No, it doesn’t work that way.
This man is talking too much recently. These two statement of his are contractive to each other.
The Obasanjo I know is not regretting his decision, ask him about it today and he will tell you he did what was right as at that time.
Is just like telling me that I am regretting that I gave my money to a trusted man to keep for me 10 years ago rather than given the money to a well known thief then, all because the good man suddenly turned criminal last year and has refused to return my money while the then criminal is now a good man.

Yaradua was a big mistake, pairing him with Jonathan raised that mistake by exponential proportions.

Just like having 2 left legs and one now having elephantiasis

Since 1999, should Lagos not have been like Dubai and Singapore with all the huge revenue growth, oil at $140, loans etc?
How many years did it take Dubai and Singapore to become good places to live & work with free education, mass transit rails, roads, hospitals, water etc?
More than 23 years?
What did Ogbeni Ojuyobo and his provxies do with all the trillions? Looted

At the time Dubai was building Burj tower of $1.5b Lagos total annual income to pay salaries, build roads, fund hospitals and schools was not up to that amount.

Lagos state population is more than twice the population of UAE with 7 Emirates. Apart from Dubai and to some extent Abu Dhabi, the other emirates are glorified villages.

It is now that Lagos revenue is getting a bit tidier that it can embark on iconic projects that only a few countries in Africa attempt in their capitals. One man laid that foundation.

And it's not a surprise that those who have no notable achievement or vision in their lives will hate those who have left footprints in the sands of time. It's envy and jealousy.

smallsmall:


God bless you for this brilliant question. We must hold the next Southern President to account on this.

Lagos to Ibadan is almost completed though it is already operational but it should not take 8yrs to do such small distance afteral, Abuja to Kaduna and most Northern Cities have been completed by this Buhari administration, in less than THREE YEARS!

Even the Lagos to Ibadan has been starved of funds and stalled for the last 7yrs, by the same Buhari!

Not to mention the Lagos- Badagry Express Way, which was started by Gov. Fashola, is then Buhari has cannibalized (using Amaechi, a Southerner) from an 8-lane International Route, to Double Lanes, while removing the Light Rail incorporated into it!

The same Buhari that canceled the Lagos Metroline of Alj. Lateef Jakande, when he took Power through a Coup in 1983 but he has now done a Metroline in his own home state

This is for those Zombies who still dont realise (or wont accept reality) how Nepotistic Buhari is.
Go and look at all the Northern Roads and Rails, fully completed with Fast Gauge and even running to Maradi in Niger Republic!

BTW: Red or Blue line are just arbitrary Names/Nomenclature used to identify the Inter-City Metro/Rail Line, going from one point to another.

Easy with your gargantuan white lies, you're not addressing primary school kids with FABU

smallsmall:


Please, Stick to the Point! .... Ekiti Politics

We take God BEG YOU and other agents of Thuggery in Lagos, until Tinubu answers that question: Where are the Cows, he should forget the support of the SW, SE, SS and Middle Belt.
Incase you forgot, he uttered those words when Fulani Herdsmen killed the daughter of Pa Fasanranti (Funke Olakunrin), people saw the assailants including one of the survivors (her Brother), who heard them speak their Fulani Language.
But many days later, Tinubu came to the same spot, LOOKING for the COWS!
So, the Cows will be waiting for Tinubu at the Kidnap Spot or the Terrorist Fulani Herdsmen will come along with their Cows, when going on a kidnapping Operation?
He even had the temerity to sneer at Nigerians at that point, saying "Is Eva the kidnapper a Fulani Herdsman"?
I guess he is relying on Fulani Votes ONLY, to become President. make we dey observe.

I hear say even Myetti Allah Terorrist Fulani Association has denounced endorsing him!
Wahala be like person sleeping on a moving Bicycle.

Is every Fulani a herdsman?

If the criminal killers are of Fulani origin, how are they herdsmen without cows?

This man can never turn down an international trip , seems he just using the presidency to fulfill his bucket list

International travel is still a big deal for you hence your thinking.

How many foreign trips has Obasanjo and Jonathan embarked on since they left power?
Probably more than you can have in 2 lifetimes

SmartPolician:
Nice! Sanwo-Olu is doing a good job, but I don't understand why Lagos State government is still getting bonds meanwhile she is the richest state in Nigeria.

Bond money comes in quickly for project execution then IGR comes in daily out of which you gradually pay back the loan or bonds.
Rather than wait for 5 or 6 years to save the money for projects by which time prices would have increased

PDP said govt imported paddy rice to build the pyramids, what a useless party telling us they handed over 8k rice smuggled into to country on massive scale.
Who remembered ever eating parboiled local rice under PDP

IgboExit:
1) Nigeria is crumbling and it's going to be a tough call retrieving the country from the precipice. I am convinced that it'll take Igbo ingenuity to do that, but who cares? If the country crumbles, most tribes are better off.

2) The Yoruba are desperate enough more than other southern tribes. Even though this is as a result of their traditional greed and treachery, why not let them do the work as much as they're eager to steal the resources? Everyone knows there is no sincereity in their quest to clinch power.

3) With the state of the country, how are you even sure that the next president will survive the onslaugh of the Jihadists surrounding Abuja and actively cleansing native communities while the security agencies look unconcerned? How are you sure that this is not a deliberate Jihad that could eliminate a Christian president. This is a no-no for Igbo nperson.

4) Whenever crisis reaches a peak in Nigeria, the Igbo man always volunteer himself for the rescue, but down the line, no one remembers the crises but they sure would remember the role Igbo played but in a warped manner. No one remembers what the 1966 January coup saved them (an implosion in Yoruba land and a Jihad in Tiv land) but they sure would turn against Igbo if a section of the tribe attempts to rescue them and something goes wrong.

5) Igbo whether politician of military must never give a helping hand when things goes awry because every one of these tribes are waiting for something to actually go wrong.

In my opinion, let the more greedy tribe try in the south, but Igbo should back a northerner. It's just a matter of time for them to steal the country dry and everyone will rest.

Lamentations of eating the humble pie.

i can feel the resignation in the tone of this post

Citizens of far poorer African countries don't do this to their home country.

Osagyefo98:





Lol

I remember so very vividly this particular man insulting Nigeria government few weeks after his appointment.

He is no saint after all.

Sometimes it is good to face your work and keep shut.

Even when Nigeria government congratulated him. He reciprocated with bitterness synonymous of a typical IPOB sympathiser.

Since he started getting involved in IPOB propaganda it's only a matter of time for a fall

vanbonattel:
Asari, Nigeria needs the south Eastern part of Nigeria more than the south east needs Nigeria.

Since after the civil war, Nigeria leaders has been fighting its citizens and targeting them with hunger, deprivation and criminal neglect

The south Eastern Nigeria is the only growing part of the country, and Nigeria is fighting the region with exclusion from federal projects.

There are over 50 south Eastern people that can save Nigeria, but who the gods wants to destroy, they first make mad.

South East should stand aside and let the current leaders destroy Nigeria by their hands, the south east will still profit from the carcass of Nigeria


Asari, what about the black soot killing your people, you have to talk about that first.

Aboki Fulani are the ones cooking crude oil in the creeks and creating black soot?
When you people finish yourselves with cancer due to greed, others will simply take over your lands. Their fertility might even be dropping who knows

Shayetet13:


We are talking about geopolitical zones and you are going tribalistic. Why are you guys so tribalistic in nature? The topic of discussion is ss/se

And the SS and SE is populated by goats and reptiles only?

Investigative:

So you think your noise will make tinubu distribute fund in south west,he has already conquered south west
We expect more bullion van in the north and east
That's where the focus is now.
While you make noise online

You are gradually conceding.....

MASTAkiLLAh:
When God wants to fight your battles, it'll surprise you the way things start happening. Tinubu and his urchins fought GEJ to a standstill simply for coming from a minority tribe yet the useless bigot wants to become president of Nigeria I dey laugh because he called GEJ a drunken fisherman out of the air yet we all know who has a drug record (even though he struck a plea deal) in America and as far as I'm concerned, it's better to be a detribalized drunken fisherman than to be a tribalistic entity with a drug past (?)

#OSINBAJO2023

SW did not know Jonathan was a minority in 2010 when they campaign for him to be acting president and 2011 when they voted for him and only realized in 2015?

But at least you go school small now, let it reflect in your thinking

sharpden:


Gbam, they either support SS to complete their term or allow SE have a teaste of what their son OBJ had. Anything apart from the above, the North should continue ruling.

Any useless mention will be treated like a fool.

Jonathan betrayed his party elders and stakeholders who packaged his first term on th basis he will not go for a second term.

How can you now make Tiubu responsible for Jonathan's betrayal of his party and their decision to withdraw their support from him?

Or you expect Tinubu to support Jonathan for using CCB court to arrest and harass him just because they are from the south?

I am sure Jonathan has learnt his lesson and will likely suport Tinubu but you are free to conyinue to avenge Jonathan, it's ofo effect

xelly:


Well, I know that a fool is one that does the same thing over and over and expect different result.

The KOWA woman is not Igbo, just to tell you how we think. If you present Orji Uzor and Okorocha, Igbos will reject them. If you have any wrong done by Peter Obi, show it and stop spreading hate. Ebonyi State Governor is interested in contesting. Can you check his record and transformations in Ebonyi State?

If Abia State Governor still declare interest and he is to contest against Sowore, Sowore will get much votes in Abia State compared to the Governor.

Atiku who Obasanjo said is a thief got all your votes in an election Sowore, Oby and Mighalu also contested

Stop deceiving yourself

xelly:


How did the other candidates convince voters?

What are the records of the other candidates
The choice of not voting Buhari in SE is the evidence of what we see in Nigeria today.

Nigerians should have lined behind SE in making choice of candidate for 2023 since they warned us before hand about the calamity of Buhari.

But now you're commanding the same Buhari-led party to select one of you as his successor, you see how childish you are?

You can't calculate anything successfully without a currency sign in front

franchasng:
Igbos have more than over competent hands to rule Nigeria but the internal party politics which will be based on tribal sentiments and secession propagandas wont allow an Igbo candidate to emerge as party flag bearer of any major party and thats why Igbos are kind of screaming that competent Igbo candidates should be given a fair chance to flag their party tickets and see what happens.



We all know that Nigerian Presidential elections are won from party primaries and most times the party primaries are rigged by the party stalwarts who are mostly incumbent President's mercenaries.



Please note, Igbos dont want


Orji Uzo Kalu
Rochas Okorocha

and some others.



Igbo Peoples choice candidates are:


Peter Obi
Dave Umahi
Dr Ogbonnaya Onu
Ngozi Okonjo Iweala
Kingsley Moghalu
Osita Chidoka


and many others

Yet you voted in 1999 against the SW candidate Falae and now sing song that you have cooperated with SW in voting Obasanjo.

Do on to others what you won't mind them doing on to you.

I think SW is fully prepared for SE not voting for it's preferred candidate in 2023 and will surely understand

franchasng:
The reasons Yorubas and Northerners are scared of Igbo President is this:



The North is scared that an Igbo President may end up splitting Nigeria, which will be a total disaster for the North who depend mostly on Southern crude oil.



The Yorubas are scared of Igbo President simply because Yorubas know that the only tribe that outsmarts them in Nigeria are the Igbos and giving an Igbo man President poses a threat to Yoruba region economic dominance of Nigeria, as in Lagos factor. They feel an Igbo President will open up Southeast and Southsouth trade and economic channels to the disadvantage of Lagos the heartbit of Yoruba nation.



Its all fear of uncertainty. They fear Igbo dominance of Nigerian affairs just as it was after the independence that Igbos dominated all sectors of Nigeria to the envy of several major tribes. They desperately don't want that era to repeat again.



They know an Igbo President will correct a lot of injustices against Southeast region since the end of the civil war that reduced Southeast economic power in Nigeria, for example Southeast is the only geopolitical zone with 5 states.




It is a generational hatred, they don't have any genuine or justifiable reason, just normal rhetorical excuses and fallacies of hasty generalizations.



My own advice to the Yorubas is this, Yorubas have tried in the past to remain just and neutral in their affairs with Igbos and other regions in the past, but take it from me, if Yorubas dont retreat from this recent greed to grab it all at all time without considering equity, fairness and justice in the name of political sophistication or whatever they may call it, and decide that they can use the civil war and IPOB secession propagandas to demarket Igbos and cury Northern people favour and support and grab the 2023 Presidency, the same law of nature that balances life events and rewards injustices of human to fellow humans will raise a sword among Nigerians that will make that Yoruba man's tenure worst than Buhari's tenure today.


In fact, what my instinct is telling me to say about the future of Nigeria after 2023 political higyhaga is scary and I don't wanna say it out for now.

Yeah right, that's why Jonathan surrounded by Ibos for 6 years were unable to solve a single one out of all the Ibo itemized issues with Nigeria. Now Buhari is already solving 3 problems - Zik Mausoleum, Federalroadsand 2nd Niger bridge

Grayoso:


Indeed. Till today no Igbo can honestly expalin why they are the only ones, of the over 100 ethnic group residing in Lagos, always claiming to own Lagos and bragging irreverently and falsely they have "bettered" Yorubas in their land.

I would like for even one Igbo to explain why they are the only ones guitly of such ungrateful, offensive, treacherous and totally unwarranted bad mouthing of others they shoukd celebrate and be grateful to.

What Igbo do is the lowest form of treachery akin to abusing and betraying the kindness, tolerance and benevolence of others in the worst way humanly possible.

Yet not a single Igbo is honest enough to say "we are offensive and need to change our ways towards others".

Instead they keep disturbing us with stupid and revisionist threads like this one where they pretend to be innocent victims.

The pretend amnesia of Igbos just shows their devious and sociopathic nature.

Yet non of them has seen the success of Dangote and Rabiu in Lagos. Just imagine Dangote were to be an Ibo

sirp9898:
Biafra is the answer to Africa technology that is y yorubas and co are afraid of biafra or Igbo presidency. They are use to suffering and at the same time complaining.
Until Igbo's have their freedom Nigeria and Africa can never grow rich, not the riches of egosm but the riches of the masses.
In GOD Igbo's trust.

You are still playing the Zik playbook of God of Africa made the Ibo to be leaders and liberator of Africa that has put you in the current predicament. The lie is seem in your inability to excel in the little enclave given to you to manage.

It's not a curse but your situation will take a very long time to get solution

Shut up, your people gave a Fulani man 80% of your votes in 2019 and are set to repeat it again in 2023, but who cares? It's same results, failure
