So, why didn’t a succession of northern military dictators revert to regionalism?

larride:


Why should they when they can just control the whole country?

larride:


Well if people don’t come out and vote, then they have given their power to chose their leader into the hand of someone else who might not vote for who they want to.

Voters education is important. If vote doesn’t count, politicians won’t be trying to buy votes during election.

The truth is that no one person will wave a magic wand and everything will fall into place immediately but things can change if we elect reasonable people across board continuously. We can begin to see changes. Government is continuum, we must have a plan on the kind of leaders we want, what we expect from them and hold them accountable.

Votes do count and in 2023, we will have chance to elect those that will pilot the affairs of the country for another 4 years. Both for states and FG.

Starting from House of assembly members, house of reps, senators, governors and President, we must be intentional about who we vote for.

You see, the whole “Ironsi abolished regionalism, which led to the collapse of Nigeria” is nothing but hypocrisy and a ruse to hide the general incompetence of Nigeria’s politicians since the 70s

larride:


Stop pontificating on what you don’t know about. The least you can do is to do small research before typing.

1. The stadium was renovated by DANGOTE. Sunday Dare the minister for sport was going around talking to corporate bodies to come renovate our sporting facilities. Dangote chose to renovate the MKO Abuja Stadium.

2. The match was supposed to hold in Lagos before CAF/FIFA refused saying that they can’t use VAR in Lagos stadium before the match was moved to the recently renovated stadium in Abuja and it was certified by both CAF/FIFA for the match to hold there.

BlueRayDick:


I think u APC/BMC people have been specially trained to throw a few words here and there, make some submissions that look reasonable on the surface but when examined critically falls on its face.

1. I was asking why Nigeria has a 60,000 capacity stadium and it's not put In good shape which is a legitimate question to ask seeing the state of the pitch is one of the factors the players couldn't be at their best. Ask urself why did the pitch go bad in the first place? Is it not due to lack of proper maintenance?

You are busy telling me super story of how the minister for sports was shamelessly going about begging corporate entities to help put a face lit to government owned sporting facilities.smh

So it's pontification is asking the right question in the face of clear mismanagement?

2. So because FIFA approved a stadium due to the facilities there, our football administrators should not be reasonable enough to enusre the grass are levelled enough to aid the ball moving well on the pitch? Is it FIFA that will help them mow the grass to an equally even level after the grass was laid? Like we didn't watch Senegal vs Egypt and saw how the ball was moving smoothly on the pitch right?

I know u APC supporters would rather die than agree things are not being well managed in this country during this Buhari Era, but some us cannot help ourselves but say things how we see them.

BlueRayDick:


I think Nigeria is cursed ! How do we have a 60,000 capacity stadium and we don’t take care of it ?

This fixture has been announced since God knows when , instead make dem renovate since and put everything in order dem wait till dying minutes. I believe some bureaucratic bottlenecks would’ve led to this fire brigade approach ; now see where it has landed us .

larride:


Like I said before, stop pontificating on what you know nothing about. There’s no crime in actually sitting down and learning if you don’t know you are talking about.

You are asking why we have a stadium of 60k capacity and it’s not put to good shape which in itself is a lie because the stadium was renovated way before the World Cup qualifier was announced in January this year. It therefore makes no sense to type that they left it so late to renovate the stadium when information about how the stadium was renovated is in public domain.

This was your post I quoted:



My response to your post was very clear.

Now you can go back to screaming about how the country is cursed.

Good morning

BlueRayDick:


Typical APC/BMC zombie shii on display right here with a sprinkle of "On this Hill I will die " attitude.

The question is why do we have a 60,000 capacity stadium that the pitch keeps bubbling the ball here and there with players having to guess which side the ball will bounce to before kicking the ball?

You are here giving shalaye of January renovation..... A renovation that left the pitch in that sorry state....smh.

I hope u get paid well enough for these efforts tho.

Sorry to ask..

Was that pitch okay when you watched the match yesterday?

patrickmuf:
No it wasn't...

You can actually take Larri.de to the cleaners without throwing cheap shots at him...When one party is civil in a discussion or debate, the least the other party should do is to respect divergent opinions...

The point is that it’s their region, he has the right to hire anyone they want just the same way the West and East has the right to hire anyone they like.

The interview was very clear. He was pursuing a Northernization policy for the Northern Region where all key post in the region are held by Northerners. He says if they can’t find a northerner to fill the post, they will hire white expatriate or other Nigerians on contract basis. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that policy since the remaining regions were also running a “Our region” policy.

Epistle helps expose people’s feelings.

We have 5 members here who are good with epistle.

1. One is based in UK and knows much about History.

2. One is based in UK and knows much about economics and financial issues.

3. One is based in Nigeria and wants Roman dead

4. One is a Barcelona fan who said you’ll be lynched if you campaign for Tinubu in SS and SE

5. One loves Fraudvertz.

You see those number 3 and 4?? Read their epistles well, you’ll just be seeing the effects of APC government.

Why the sudden mouth piece of the devil
Is there anything wrong in what blueraydick typed?
You can ignore or counter it

patrickmuf:
La.rride said Dangote renovated the stadium in Lagos but due to issues surrounding the installation of VAR the match was moved to the National Stadium Abuja which was recently renovated. Whatever is the complain, I think CAF/FIFA inspected that pitch and gave the greenlight for the match to go on...

If the governing body of football thinks the pitch was okay irrespective of our individual takes then we have to question them...

Roland17:


Nigerians deserve their leaders, I no hide mouth talk am.

nihilistjnr:


I'm sorry this is an incredibly lazy take.

Wetin concern FIFA or CAF with that length of grass on the pitch.

It was only a couple of weeks ago that Pep Guardiola was complaining about the grass at Crystal Palace which had been deliberately left a bit longer to impede City's passing game.

Nigerians questioning the grass at the Abuja stadium in a must win game, are not questioning the infrastructural integrity of the stadium - They are questioning the competency of an entire system that can't even take basic measures to boost their team's chances....basic measures like cutting the fucking grass

patrickmuf:
Pep and Man City were away while we were at home.

If Palace decided to employ such crude tactics to disturb the smooth passing play of City then that's allowed but we on the other hand were at home, Eguavoen and the players have trained on that pitch and knew the condition before hand so, if they had a problem with the length of the grass, it would have be addressed...

Ibime:


So Eguavoen when he trained these players on the pitch last night could not command they cut this pitch? You can never give responsibility to an illiterate

So who would you blame for that useless pitch last night?
