Update: #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria Protest 8/1/24 [Official 9ja 2023 Presidential Elections Thread]

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Aren't the national resources in the north??

No. The north has unexploited mineral resources (gold, uranium) but the Nigerian govt’s budget is reliant on oil and natural gas from the south. The south also has coal too.

Note: northern gold IS exploited by crooks who use peasants to dig gold. They then sell the gold in the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi).

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

The most obvious split is along North-South lines. Leaving the religious fanatics up North to their own devices.

Also, ethnic persecution of religious/ethnic minorities in the north and a massive migration to the south.

The South is not united. There will be no political entity called “Southern Nigeria”. Which is ‘fine’.

 

[Henri Christophe]

A broken Nigeria will be a big L for the black race.

But I understand how crazy black muslims can be.

They put their religion before anything - you can't build anything with them.

I think the South has more in common (between East and West) and is stronger together, than divided into West/East/South-South.

You may be right though.

What is his agenda for the ticking time bomb which is Nigeria's youth? You are listing achievements but the common situation in Nigeria is dire not to speak on the deaths associated with the expressway.

I did not say Obi has a chance. I said that the youths are behind him and win or lose, if theg remain behind him, the election will be a notable event.

Nigeria as a country is on life support.

Well his achievements and track record are a Guage of how he will perform. Especially when compared to someone like Peter Obi. The rail projects alone have created scores of jobs for Nigerian youths. They sent over 100 youths on scholarship to learn how to maintain the railways and there's 2 universities being built in Nigeria specifically for railway engineering and technology development. Plus as a Governor Amaechi provided countless opportunities for the youths in education and Agriculture. Can Obi compare?

A railway that was built in the North. Meanwhile there is not a single Seaport in the East were his people came from.
You guys need to let go, Nigeria is done. An average Igbo man knows he has no fair shake in the failed British experiment called Nigeria.
Put a fork on it, Nigeria is DONE. Not even the unlawful detention of Nnamdi Kanu can save it.

We should use facts when trying to make an argument. The railway video I posted was LAGOS to IBADAN, which is in SOUTH WESTERN Nigeria. Another railway he spearheaded is the Warri-Itakpe network which is in the Southern Delta region. So once again you should get your facts straight. As far as the seaports are concerned again you're either deliberately lying or speaking from a point of ignorance. There are 5 seaports in Eastern Nigeria which are being revived and are CURRENTLY receiving cargoes:

Your pessimistic view on Nigeria is obvious but at least speak with facts breh....

Also, not sure about that piracy claim.

Personally I believe Nigeria is far past the point of saving and needs to break up.

It's not a claim it's a fact. Nigeria at a point was in the top 3 of the riskiest countries for piracy on its waters. The efforts of Amaechi has seen Nigeria removed off the list COMPLETELY.

I think a common southern identity is forming based around pidgin/evangelical Christianity/opposition to political Sharia but it’s decades off

A big L but Northerners want political hegemony and they wish to oppress millions of Christians in their region. Worse still, Fulani elites in the North aid land theft/ethnic cleansing in Nigeria’s Middle Belt.

fukk Nigeria! If you aren't talking about dividing that shythole, I really don't want to hear about it. This nikka might as well be Marianne Williamson

 

[#1 pick]

You sound like one of these unity beggers. What Part of the zoo are from anyways?

Listen, it's been 60 years. Time for us to go our separate ways rather have our children waste another in the cesspool of mediocrity called Nigeria that Lord Luggard had us in.

Peter must be the op cousin or something. Expecting anything good from an obviously broken system is defined as insanity. Dude acts like President is the end all when you still got the cabal, British and America right there fully expecting handouts and assets or they will kill you or at least tarnish your name. Nigeria has a systemic issue, no individual politician can change that.

 

[#1 pick]

They're dangling a at us, hoping we'll bite. This whole thing is a fukking distraction. Even if Peter got elected, it wouldn't mean shyt, because the wicked structure of that country far exceeds the benevolence of one individual.

I addressed it in the post. It's truly insanity that these fools blame everything on a politician like Buhari when the system is garbage and even if Buhari is garbage and has been dead for years, the cabal still running shyt and that's not gonna stop. Nigerian politics is a fukking disgrace. England trying to keep it alive just to rob the country blind when it's one of the worst countries on the globe. You know you got the Obi of Anambra on the board for Unilever. Them fukkas never stopped running Nigeria.

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

For those of you interested in international politics, especially African, Peter Obi is attempting the impossible in Nigeria.

He is challenging the status quo by attempting to run a corruption free presidential candidacy for quarter 1 of 2023.

For context, Nigeria has two main parties just like the US, PDP and APC. Like the US, many Nigerians are calling #BothSides and recognizing both parties as corrupt.

Peter Obi is running outside of the main parties and is attempting to proceed in a grassroots fashion based off of youths and Nigerians who are tired of what Nigeria has become.

If Peter Obi is succesful or continues to make significant noise, this will be a quite notable event for Africa and black people in general.

Something I suggest those who have interest keep an eye on.

at comparing someone actually trying to make real change in a country to fukking Obama

Lol @ Unity begger. And you that's peddling separation are just doing the bidding of colonial powers so you're nothing more than a c00n doing the white man's bidding.

It's Europe that stands to gain the most from Nigeria's disintegration which is why they sponsor and harbor clowns like Nnamdi Kanu to talk trash. You think Biafra is gonna save you?? Think again clown. Igboland can't even survive without Niger-Delta resources which is why there is no Biafra map that doesn't include ND states and unfortunately for you we are fully vested in Nigeria's success. Goodluck with your pipe dream.

Igboland has substantial human resources, oil and LOTS of untapped natural gas. Not to mention coal.

We’ll be fine. Worry about the Zoo.

 

[Bushmaster69]

I hope it works out but I have my doubts. Unfortunately tribalism, and the old folks who are still alive and vote more than youngsters, will make things difficult.

Let's hope for the best.
