So, because GRV studied architecture at MIT, he is an civil engineering expert? What kind of nonsense is this from you lot. Ignorantly, comments like this affect you because you might not have had your first degree outside Nigeria. Olodo rabata.
So someone with a degree in Architecture from MIT has analysed the situation and presented a proposal, and you, a graduate of FUTO with a degree classification below a 2:1, have the audacity to dismiss his analysis as inferior? The sheer lack of self awareness is embarrassing!!!
There’s a difference between having an opinion and having the technical knowledge to defend it. Right now, you’re displaying plenty of the former and very little evidence of the latter.
Duru you studied mechanical engineering, you have no business with structures in any way, sit this one out.
This shameless man, Bayo @aonanuga1956, the Senior Domestic Servant, claims that the rail projects are “one of the signature projects of this administration”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let Bola go and focus on his fraudulent Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project.
These guys, Bola @officialABATand his team, are daylight project robbers.
Every right thinking person knows that these are President Buhari’s projects.
But just like Bola “commissioned” Zaria-Kano project in Kaduna Stadium, a Project that President Buhari commissioned in May 2023 before leaving office.
Bola spent his tenure denigrating and disparaging President Buhari. But he can’t show any reasonable achievement except stealing Buhari’s legacy.
Packaged NADECO fraud!
@TheGreatEdoism They know themselves. Nothing about seyi on their page only about Tinubu but you expect us to believe they’re his supporters??. Please miss me with that nonsense.
@egi_nupe When Prof was teaching law in universities and law school, u were still in ur village running around wearing only pants.
But like they say, twitter is a leveler.
Prof Chidi has never criticized a judge or judgement from a place of knowledge of law, evidence and facts of the case. Sometimes, I wonder if he’s truly a lawyer and a Professor of law, probably he’s not.
All he does is blackmail and attack judges; and make all kinds of unsubstantiated accusations against them.
Such a terrible way to live at old age.
Who told you the North was a monolith? The same Middle Belt that we were taught things about in our secondary school geography suddenly became a desperate game because the purported political hegemony of the core Muslim North is threatened. We have buckets to collect you lot tears se.
Make no mistake?? this Middle Belt agenda is a desperate game. They want to break the North, split us by religion, and use our division as their ladder to power. We see the plan, we understand the game, and we will not allow it.
From Hausa Zalla sponsorship, now to Evil belt agenda..
You entrust Arewa in God's hand? In ethnically diverse democratic politics like ours, people should not fight for the protection of their own political interests because some people succeeded in ramming Arewa down other's throats. The same political Arewa that has only benefited only the core Muslim North? Common now.
This has sparked a lot of discussion, and deliberately so.
You gotta give Tinubu credit for knowing to make these conversations divisive.
I on the other, the conversation has left me sadly and oddly bereft.
It has me seriously doing several recalculations.
By origin, I'm a North-Easterner. A proud Jukun woman, and unapologetic of my heritage.
But North West is the home I know. The culture I know. The people I have grown to call "my people".
I can't take sides. And I won't.
There's no Farida without any of the other part.
I've been thinking deeply about this since it all began.
I traced it back to the fundamental reality before the current geopolitical reality; Africa was always tribal kingdoms.
It's the governance structure we foundationally functioned from.
Who are we as a nation and continent if we say our tribal heritage doesn't matter?
But also who do we want to be if we insist it's all that matters?
I've been on a long 9 year journey. Basically centered around identity. And on the other side of it, every aspect of my identity matters to me.
From my Jukun and Lebanese ancestry. To being Nigerian even though I still have no idea what that even means yet.
Being a woman.
Being a Muslim woman.
Being African.
A commitment I made to myself after the gruesome journey of facing all the failings that comes with each identity, was never to allow myself be in a position where I have to choose or apologise for any of it.
I don't know what's next for the North to be honest.
I wish these conversations didn't have to happen. But if I hadn't had the conversations I did with myself, I would never reach this place I am.
So these conversations are very necessary.
As such, this is what I've concluded:
I'm a bridge to whomever is open and ready to come to the table and talk, among the North Central leaders
As for North East, the ball is in your court how we proceed.
I want it clear:
I want and believe in one Arewa region; West, East, Central
But with everything coming forth, I won't push for anything anybody isn't willing to be committed to.
Ya Rabb, I entrust Arewa in Your Hands. Whatever You are incharge of, nobody can destroy.
Choose the best of outcomes for us.
What will be will be.
You lot have just been crashing out since the middle belt elders visited the president, and I like it.
Your past leaders craftily orchestrated the obfuscation of the middle belt designation just to give the core Muslim North an advantage over others, and now that these people are fighting for their own interests, you start crying.
Come to think of it, the designation is not new or recently formulated to engineer the so-called divide and rule threat that you are scared of. Many of us who did Nigerian geography can still remember we were taught this thing. Well, una never start ooo.
I just hope whoever takes over from Tinubu arrests all of you, for simply being unpatriotic.
This is the first time we are seeing government officials recklessly being divisive simply to sow hatred and win an election.
