So it is okay to discriminate/disqualify based on ethnicity?

.... yet he wasted Anambra State $20m in the Name of Investment. Guess what that kinda money would achieve for the State?!

If u are wondering why some certain crimes have not abaited in some states/cities it's mostly due to the attitude of law enforcement agents in carrying out their duties.

Yesterday I was on the road for most of the day and I was trying to navigate an event venue inside Ota, Ogun State. From the moment I entered ogún state u see so many checkpoints and u will surely be flagged Down. After asking u to check ur booth and finding nothing incriminating, the policeman will seize u up and confirm whether u are a driver or u own the vehicle. They then ask u for weekend money in order not to waste Ur time.

₦200, ₦300, ₦500 that's how they collect it. I could be a ritualist, pay those aforementioned fees at checkpoints and not get my vehicle thoroughly checked for harvested organs. Now I understand when I see Ogun State pop up in the news for incidence of ritual killings. God knows the numbers that go unreported

OK ooo. With your years of Experience in politics, especially in Lagos as you claimed, yet you're tripping for that?!

seankafor:
shut up

seankafor:
shut up your mouth

TrebleChamp:
Truly if am to go with my years of experience as a party man, Tinubu will be my candidate today cos i would be biased. I followed and adored that man until he started imposing candidates everywhere in Lagos. I have been to almost every campaign rallies on the mainland that Tinubu was to be in attendance, i was at First Gate when he came to commission Amuwo Odofin Local Govt Councils Secretariat built my Hon Sekoni. The site now sit MCC Hospital, was involved in mobilising people for Hon James Faleke during 2015 election rally that held in Ikeja where Ambode was officially presented as the Party candidate for Governor. I have been to Burdillion 5 times, the last was when we went to settle a matter involving our Candidate who won the Primary but was substituted by order of Baba Sope. I try not to give out much about myself here, cos i have seen how people can use that info against you. I also saw afrodoc's post on how someone on nairaland tried reporting him to his superiors, how people can be so emotionally moved on a faceless forum beats me. I like Tinubu as a person but dislike him as a Politician. I want Obi to win, but if he fail Nigerians will vote him out in 2027. At least politician will know that the power to elect belong to the people. I have seen enough of the same people messing up the country...

Soludo is becoming more clueless.

My guy... I won't respond to you again. If I get any of your stwpid mentions like this again... God help you and yours.

OasisX:


There is what we call Gentleman Agreement bro

If BAT ain't on the Ballot, and Obi is contesting against Atiku and Kwankwaso, I'll definitely be rooting Obi.

It's turn of southern Candidate to rule Nigeria.

Shikena

But PDP dey craze sha.

How did they make someone that has PhD in engineering minister of defence?

Amoto94:

As for a Northerner succeeding another I don't dwell on identity politics they distract from main issues.

A PHD in Engineering does not trump a Bsc in Accounting if the use of said degrees are for deployment in the field of Public Administration and Governance.

Amoto94:

A lot of things PDP did back then were borderline crazy like making FFK Minister of Aviation and Labaran Maku Minister of Information. Sadly, some of the same mistakes were repeated currently in this administration.

Think that's crazy, how about APC that made a lawyer minister of power?

Olowunl01:

Hypocrisy Hypocrisy
Based on your analogy - Then BAT should not be on the ballot; it should be zoned to SE being the only region in the south that hasn't produced President or even VP; after SouthSouth 5yrs President 3yrs VP.
SouthWest 8yrs President 8yrs VP ( Moreoso isn't Osinbajo using VP slot belonging to your man Tinubu?)

We are here - so no need to disqualify anyone based on their region or ethnicity, we are all now agreeing to a free for All, But make we all remember how we got here, especially those of us that grew up in the 80s & 90s to the constant furore of Northern domination of Power, hence the gentlemanly agreement was crafted, and I doubt the political gladiators from the SE, SS then would have agreed with power rotation meaning North and SWest, hence the Afenifere endorsement of Obi even though it doesnt carry much weights its smart politics or posturing.

If Atiku wins; after 4years there's nothing stopping APC from producing a northerner as presidential candidate in 2027, na den una go appreciate the value an Obi contesting as 3rd force in 2023.
Anyway sha - truth be told the man on the street cares less about the ethnicity of Mr.President if his quality of life is improved.

Chef Oasis, put more maggi

You win this round.

kingBolton:

Funny enough, this same thing happened to me last week on my way to Minna from Abuja. When I got to suleja I was stopped by some FRSC guys and after presenting all they asked for, the guy checking said "Find something for your boys make we use do weekend"

larride:


Well it can be argued that most of the power sector has been decentralized and the government is more or less a "regulator".

It still make sense to have someone that knows the law and can drive policy to man the sector.

But Engineering to Defence. Haba now

OasisX:


...... may I ask you just 2 Questions? Did he perform excellently when he was Governor or not? Did he indeed develop the Masterplan of modern Lagos or not?

OasisX:




This is problem with Southerners to be honest..... what the hell is SE, SS, SW? If power is zoned to North, you won't ever see Northerners crying its turn of NE, NW, NC, coz to average Northerners - North is North.

Southerners are problem of this Country to say the truth.

GloriousGbola:



The PhD is in water engineering from an Indian University. He got it this year

https://dailytrust.com/kwankwaso-bags-phd-from-indian-varsity

Probably as part of his political strategy

One thing about Northerners they play the game of accumulating pali in the pursuit of power

Unfortunately the pali is where it ends most of the time.

Theflint1:
Well you have a point sha, but I think an Engineer would still have been ideal for that position, knowing whoever would have gotten the gig would most likely have administrative experience.

That said, there's been too many shit appointments by APC and PDP, all in a bid to reward party loyalty.
