I mean, i can understand the people protesting

Which agenda be this one?

raumdeuter:


On Monday, protesters from Kakuri, Tudun Wada, Rigasa, Unguwan Shanu, Abakwa and other areas within the metropolis stormed the popular Ahmadu Bello Way, through Ali Akilu Road looting and breaking into private residences.

A protester who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES said: “We want Tinubu to step down and Atiku Abubakar to take over the governance of the country.”

When asked why they are waving the Russian flag, the protester said they want Russia to come to their aid.

“Just like Niger, we want Russia to come to Nigeria.”

Are you insinuating the Cameroonian cum Dubailite is behind these?

MEND001:
Na so Niger start.

We had this discussion after the Niger coup. Russia has sponsored multiple coups across West Africa and if they have their way Nigeria will be next.

They would actually need a presence in Nigeria so they can cheaply evacuate Niger uranium and other resources . Most of their vassal states are land locked.

Maybe build a railway line across the entire region.

Putin is looking to create his new world order and some northerners are willing to be his vassals if it comes to that.

I suspect someone showed their hands too quickly. The low education Ibime was talking about.

Nwanne’m, I will advise you pick between the US and Canada. The US is pretty cut and dry and the process is faster if you pick the F1 (student) visa route. For the F1, you have a few things that are going to be positive for your application.

1. Finances
2. Family in Naija
3. Background in STEM
4. Work experience.

Post graduate studies, particularly Ph.D. programs in the US are fully funded with a lot of grants to support, especially for STEM related courses. Post-graduation opportunities are also available if you excel exceedingly and want to remain in the academia. I always advise people looking for Ph.D opportunities from Nigeria to avoid the big named schools and target smaller State schools because of post-graduate opportunities if they want to remain in the academia. The bigger schools have a ton of people pursuing the same post graduate opportunities, in comparison to the smaller state schools and it gets harder.

By all means, if you can, please avoid agents because these things are pretty easy to process if you have a laptop, internet and a little bit of time. Take some time to research schools that offer the program you are looking for. When you narrow it down, reach out to the professors/ instructors of that program and start engaging them on your plans to apply. After applying keep engaging them, alongside your admission counselor.

Prepare to write qualifying exams, each school is different but have the mindset that you will be writing either or a combination of GMAT/GRE/TOEFL. Also, some schools waive the application fees.


All the best!

Honestly, I would be worried if the presidential election was next year. While the North won’t forget, 2027 is still a lot of time for Asiwaju to realign the North. As for the South, you are right about the SE and SS but I think the SW will have a stronger showing for him in 2027. He has done enough for the SW in terms of projects and appointments to regain the numbers and dominance.

The people doing this to him in the north know that 2027 is a long time and I believe they have it planned.

The main issue here is unlike then when the north was doing this same thing to OBJ and GEJ, the economy is in terrible state and people are really really suffering. So the anger is genuine also.
For the SW angle, I think the ronu cry (which before election happened was actually a good thing) has actually driven a serious wedge between him and people down south. So while he might have done things for the SW, the suffering will still be a problem.
There's a reason atiku highlighted the #igbomustgo campaign and link it to lagos, baba doesn't care about the ronu and he has brought them to spotlight for others to talk about them. Na why LASG quickly dissociate from them (even though alot of SSA's dey follow the particular account on twitter).
So yes, whatever he is gaining in the SW, he is losing elsewhere.

But if he is banking on the relationship with the SS and SE, he is joking.
He needs the north even more now.

Those ones are fools. Retards. Gave birth to many children you can't take care of. This is the problem.

Kids breaking into people's shop, stealing phones and all of that. Hungary looking Kids that have nothing to lose already are dangerous. They can easily be used. Someone behind the scenes is using those kids to cause chaos.

What has Russia done for them. All their aids come from the west. Fools.

Fools.

The second lesson is a derivative of the first, and that is the unexampled collapse of the cultural, political, and social power of the Northern Nigerian Muslim clerical establishment. Northern Nigerian clerical elites, known as the ulama, had been constituted in the region’s moral imagination as the apotheosis of probity and the unquestioned source of moral and political guidance.

This is the first major example in recent memory I am aware of in the North where the masses of the people not only bucked the impassioned counsel of their ulama but have openly labelled them as unreliable and mercenary charlatans not worthy of respect. This is a culturally seismic shift.

You guys should cool down with the early permutations.

3 years is politics is a whole lot of time. 3 years?

You would be surprised when you see this post in 2027, and laugh at yourself.

lolz 😂

When u talk about Nigeria like this , one would think it is a normal country that has a vast majority of its citizens being the rational type .

It only takes a sprinkle of a few billions of Naira and Tinubu will coast to victory in 2027 as expected .

There’s nothing happening in the north now that will shake Tinubu’s reelection . Northerners still vote for him once he finds a way to sort their leaders . People like Ndume that appears to be mudslinging Tinubu now will sing “on ur mandate we shall stand “ when Tinubu finally reaches out to him.

Love him or hate him, Tinubu knows the kind of people he’s dealing with in different parts of this country and he has successfully hacked the game. Last 2 weeks Dangote was all over the place taking about cabals, those importing bad fuel trying to take him out, blah blah.

This week Dangote has gotten himself a bargain and he’s no longer singing like a bird. The house of assembly has also dropped investigation into imported bad fuel . Today everybody is happy; Mele Kyari still has his job, the NMDPRA boss still has his job and Dangote finally gets what he wants . Where is the common man’s wants in all of this ?

i said before that the protests n the north are not about hunger. the north has always been poor and until recently they have all been content with that. the protest are about restriction of their ogas at the top from the national cake - their God given right.

the northerner on the street is more happy about - we are the ones ruling you - than he is about his quality if life

BlueRayDick:


I don’t agree with this school of thought.

Yes, there’s always been poverty in the north and there’s been hardship but no hardship ever touch them like this.

Do u know what the Nigeria/Niger border did to their economy in the north? Those people saw shege all because Tinubu moved for the closure of boarder as ECOWAS chairman.

When Tinubu talked about making a rotten situation bad, that was what he did to the northern economy . That’s why they came on TV begging and pleading for Tinubu to open the boarder back then.

I think they wanted to make the Nigerian Armed forces flag but made a mistake and had already made it in bulk.

you can win at politics easily with poorly educated single issue voters in large number. this is what the north opted for for political expediency.

when you run a society on islam is a way of life and everyones thinking is influenced by imams and ulamas, this is the result. now you have a mass of easily manipulated people with no core value system . there are millions of uneducated people in the north and they are still breeding more of them.

talk to people who served in the north.

my cousin was thee in the 2000s.

stark impoverished illiterates telling him - we are the ones ruling you - that was what was most important to them

it is the same reason tinubu strategically selected his vice. because this is what matters to that electorate.

the difference my be that , according to kperogi, their clerics have lost control of the narrative and are no longer the thought leaders of influences
