@sammix_freeman@NdukaEbubeDike@nzemmili Of course, you are free to debate and desire to change that contract but you will need to convince the majority in the National Assembly to achieve that. I bid you good luck in that endeavour.
@sammix_freeman@NdukaEbubeDike@nzemmili I'm sorry that you feel you have to put up with your fellow citizens. We are Nigerians first and our constitution confers certain inalienable rights to all of us including choosing where we are domiciled and aspiring to lead anywhere in our great country.
@sammix_freeman@NdukaEbubeDike@nzemmili Citizens don't need to naturalise. They also can't migrate within their own country. We're already all Nigerians and can live in any part we want. Oh and I wouldn't worry too much if people put themselves forward and others vote for them. That's just how democracy works.
@sammix_freeman@NdukaEbubeDike@nzemmili With regard to divisions in nationalities like in the UK or elsewhere, there are always sub-nationals how granular do you want to get? The most important principle is that ALL locals whether by birth, naturalisation or domiciliation can aspire to serve their locality.
@sammix_freeman@NdukaEbubeDike@nzemmili Apologies I didn't address your point about the elected individual who may have been less than inclusive. I don't know the details but my view is that a people's commonwealth should be distributed equitably. S/he is not the ideal so we shouldn't legislate for the exception.
@sammix_freeman@NdukaEbubeDike@nzemmili There's no greater loyalty to one's hosts than staying and working everyday to make our shared spaces better. On political views, they are heterogeneous but personal. Let's not regress to the mean and borrow a leaf from places where diversity has worked really well.
Long post incoming, but I'm desperate at this point and need the internet's help. (For the TLDR, check the replies for links and action items)
So my little sister Chizo has been fighting leukemia for the past 2.5 years. She's been in remission twice, once after a bone marrow transplant from our brother and then again after a CAR-T treatment after another relapse last year. She is now in her third bout of the fight, as the leukemia has returned yet again in December of last year.
She's spent the majority of this year in the hospital and they tried an alternative CAR-T treatment, which did not work this time. Afterwards, the doctors gave her two options: manage her pain and spend time with her family and loved ones until it's time to pass on, or to take a In order to address this third bout, they tried an alternative CAR-T treatment that did not work this time. The doctors gave her two options:
1) Manage her pain and spend the rest of her time here with her family and loved ones
2) Take a life-threatening chemotherapy treatment that can lead to heart/liver failure based on the intensity of it to bridge her to her next treatment, whether it's another CAR-T treatment or a bone marrow transplant if they find a donor.
She's a fighter, so she chose the chemotherapy treatment and is still fighting to this day. So I'm here to ask for y'alls help as she continues this fight.
@TexTheLaw@nigeriasbest@OfficialDSSNG How did they acquire the judicial interpretation? The DSS seems to have confused their job description with that of the King's Guard in GoT because the framing of this statement attributed to them is rather worrying.
@sammix_freeman@NdukaEbubeDike@nzemmili How else does one prove they understand people they live amongst and share the same problems, aspirations with? How can a Nigerian be an alien in their own country? An Idoma woman living in Ondo surely understands Ondo people? What am I missing?
@sammix_freeman@NdukaEbubeDike@nzemmili My view is that no Nigerian should be denied the opportunity to put themselves forward for service anywhere in Nigeria. In a democracy the VOTERS should DECIDE who they would like serving them via credible elections. Do you disagree?
@NdukaEbubeDike@nzemmili Nigerians from all over actively represent constituencies in the UK, Canada etc but fellow Nigerians become suspicious when other Nigerians aspire to do the same in their own country? What am I missing?
