Given the absence of any debate on issues (bread and butter), one is persuaded to believe, the zonal struggle for power is principally a struggle to zone the unending looting of the treasury. Not too surprisingly, each zone feels it’s their turn to take charge of the looting of the state coffers as of right. Loquacious South-South leaders and politicians, that has shed a mountain of crocodile tears over the poverty and despoliation of their zone, has not even in the least articulated any short or long term measures for the emancipation of their people.

Chinedu---it ain't about Zoning, it's about having the right people with their head well set(focused) in govt. No amount of grammar or turenchi will emancipate our people.

The harder the road to victory, the sweeter it is. Supporters of geopolitical zoning seem to have short memory: First, they wanted their own states and having accomplished that, then they wanted to unit into geopolitical zones. The geopolitical zone is yet another layer whose sole aim is to divide-and-chop.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a manual process to unite the sperm with the female egg. The emphasis is on the word manual. Naturally, about half a million sperms ejaculated by the man into the women would compete to reach the egg. Only the strongest and the quickest and tactically astute sperm reach and fertilise the egg first. In IVF, sperms do not compete to get to the egg first.

The Nigeria politician wants a free ride, that is to say, little work for big gains. The zonal advocates are advocates of political IVF, that is to say, no test of character, no debate, no competing with other eligible candidates, no kissing of babies, no verbal abuse by the public, no encounter with the hard working people whose money some of the aspirants have stolen – my contempt goes to Odili. They want a free ride to Aso Rock. This is an act of cowardice, and we risk electing people who are cowards, unqualified, of weak characters, and can't hold on to their own in international politics – all because they got to the top post with little or no hard work on their part.

If despite this, we still accept zonal candidates then the fault lies not in our politicians but in us. We would have lost the instinct, which makes a nation, civilise and progressive.

palamedes:

fallacy upon fallacy is absolute vanity: correction!..the embryos judged to be the "best" are transferred to the patient's uterus through a thin, plastic catheter, which goes through her vagina and cervix. often, several embryos are passed into the uterus to improve chances of implantation and pregnancy.

only fittest sperms fertilize the eggs in this procedure(IVF)....comprehend!

I shall resist the temptation to go into technicalities with you – of course, you are no match. The IVF analogy demonstrates a point, which you have completely missed. This is very typical of you and your inability to discus issue seriously. Your comment made no mention of the article.

Forget about me for a moment, can you manage to write a couple of paragraphs – free of gibberish - of your thoughts on the article? And just to remind you, the article is about geopolitical zoning and not about IVF.

Chinedu,

Well written. This has always been my argument. We need real politicians who can sort out the problem of food, poverty, health, education, shelter and security for the poor Nigerian masses. I don't care about such a person's ethnicity or geo political origins. QED
