It’s retrogressive — Haliru MohammedSay what? “Regional autonomy and parliamentary system of government can no longer serve a complex society like Nigeria and our founding fathers were wise enough to jettison the system and adopt the present Presidential system, which to all intent and purposes, remains the best for a country like ours,” he noted. And the present "presidential system" is serving Nigeria . . . how? According to him, states replaced the regions because of demands by ethnic nationalities for self-determination, adding that a u-turn to the old structure would be a repeat of the scenario where major ethnic groups like Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo were in total control of the regions and marginalised other groups. *raises eyebrow* |

@Post I am in strong support of regional autonomy. I don't know why northern leaders are kicking against it. They know that the current political system in Nigeria is working in their favour but how about the millions of Nigerians wallowing in poverty? Northern leaders don't want regional autonomy yet they went ahead and approved sharia law in a country that has a significant number of christians. They can't eat their cake and have it. Besides, why are they so scared if Nigeria should dissolve? or is there something they (northern leaders) are not telling us? |

Why go back to the days of peanut pyramids when we [the Hausa] are being handed out billions in Southern oil money? Why attempt to change the governmental structure of this our great country when the current one favors Northern political domination and Southern (and especially Eastern) political subjugation? Naijeriya is good o. |

There are ethnic groups in the North that are wholly Chriatian yet this did not stop Arewa from instituting Sharia government broadly across their region. Sharia is in harmony with their ideals and aspirations, much the same way that Yoruba see Parliamentary governmenr as a far beter alignment with its own customary system of native government than any other practicable opions available to us . So why is Arewa gettig a heart attack? There must be a disadvantage to them in the proposed rearrangement! |

That is why i wonder why the Southwest ACN continue to relate and trying to merge with buhari CPC. Both leader's of the party has different intentions on how to run the nation. so why the merge? its much better for the south to unite than acn merging with cpc. we will come back here after 7yrs to cry had we known. look at buhari stand. as backward as Nigeria yet these guy buhari tend to support his regional dominance than national progress. nonsense |
Re: Igbo Leaders Agree With Yoruba Leaders On Regional Autonomy - North Disagrees by 9javoice1(m): 7:34am On Sep 03, 2012 |
The North is against regional government, against state police, against national conference, against autonomy, what do they want the north supports: - supports sharianazation - supports dominance - supports religious intolerance - supports marginalization - supports backwardness. why are we still here as one country. lets put this nation into pieces. as for me i want total breakup with this backward north. |

9ja voice: That is why i wonder why the Southwest ACN continue to relate and trying to merge with buhari CPC. Your suggestion is a bit naive. It is not the prerogative of ACN or CPC to change Nigeria's political structure but the elected leadership at the national level. Do you think PDP that have not even tarred roads, fixed power, etc will make such a move? Your guess is as good as mine. In fact, do you know since Nigerians have been shouting and keep shouting and talking while you actively do nothing, what will PDP (majority at the national level) do? Of course, steal more money while doing NOTHING! So, relating with a major party bloc and explore multiple approaches to influence national direction is bad in your opinion? You think you at your small age is wiser than those people who are exploring ways to change the national direction? Well, I suggest you first win a state governorship election and then you can criticize people who are at least exploring ways to change the direction and speed at which this country is sliding into debt, insecurity, etc. |

9ja voice: The North is against regional government, What you want as a person is immaterial if NO ONE buys into your ideas. In fact, you will need millions of people to agree with you before any progress otherwise, all this posturing is wasting time. Oh, there's no reasonable person who will follow the ideas of a man who wants to break a "nation into pieces". How are you going to do that or you think it is like a glass dish you can just smash on the floor? You need to think first, and provide a detailed vision on your plans otherwise, you will only become frustrated, grow old and die and Nigeria will still be there! |

Ileke-IdI: Igbos are pragmatic set of people. We shun sentiments to get things done. It's just that the Yorubas cannot be trusted. Their stand on hot issues is almost always ambiguous. I bet that Yorubas will deny this group when shyt hits the fan. Yorubas don't mind playing petty politics if they can't get their way. Igbos would have developed the best relationship with them had it been for their obvious shortcomings which cannot be easily ignored. |

If I may ask why should the north always determine everything about national matters. the reasons the object to issues like this is very obvious. They take dominance on every sector of the economy and are not ready to loss this, they av so much benefitted 4rm d oil wealth of this nation in amassing so much to themselves why a large population of northerners live in extreme poverty. the now think the presidency is their birthright and are not prepared to loss grip of power not minding if any group is marginalized |

Backward peeps!... Retrogressiveness is their way of life.... Not suprised,;seems diz mallams have a phobia 4 progress... Once its not in their favour,then they will always kick against it....

ACM10: @ bolded, But what made you think that the yorubas trust the ibos? As Pa Awo of blessed memory reminded your dead ex-warlord in enugu just before the war, [b]we don't trust you guys. [/b]The only difference is just that we yorubas, don't make a song and dance issue out of it like you guys. |
Re: Igbo Leaders Agree With Yoruba Leaders On Regional Autonomy - North Disagrees by Super1759: 8:47am On Sep 03, 2012 |
ACM10:but the question in my mind is this, why would yoruba make a move for such? Are they more concerned than the igbos? Something fishy is about happening |

BJ4REEL: Backward peeps!...bros, you won't really blame them. Their forefathers fought for a right and that's their means of survival. Among the tribes, they are the least but won't just succumb it due to low self-esteem |
Re: Igbo Leaders Agree With Yoruba Leaders On Regional Autonomy - North Disagrees by greaterlove(m): 9:06am On Sep 03, 2012 |
Please I am not trying to be pessimistic or tribalistic, but according to the post the yoruba national assembly met and agreed on regional autonomy but it took ohaneze to prepare a document and send to the national assembly. I don't think I will waste my time on this again but it just won't work and a warning to the ibos una no dey learn. |

Re: Igbo Leaders Agree With Yoruba Leaders On Regional Autonomy - North Disagrees by Afam4eva(m): 10:06am On Sep 03, 2012 |
I don't know why people cannot see the handwriting on wall as it concerns the reason why it's always the north that disagrees with anything that has to do with self sustenance. They're the ones's who are mainly against state police and now it's regional autonomy. These people want to have a firm grip on Nigeria. They know that if each region is giving the power to rule their affairs, the power of the north will reduce astronomically. I support any call for semi-independence as it was in the first republic. |
Re: Igbo Leaders Agree With Yoruba Leaders On Regional Autonomy - North Disagrees by Nobody: 10:57am On Sep 03, 2012 |
omayyi : The slaughter of the Innocent is a great moral encouragement from the North! Even Boko Haram is "moralistic Orgnanisation" |
Re: Igbo Leaders Agree With Yoruba Leaders On Regional Autonomy - North Disagrees by Nobody: 10:58am On Sep 03, 2012 |
I think Nigerian politicians are confused! What Nigeria needs is complete autonomy of States and not regions. We all know what autonomy of states means. |
Re: Igbo Leaders Agree With Yoruba Leaders On Regional Autonomy - North Disagrees by Wordsmith(m): 11:11am On Sep 03, 2012 |
regional autonomy is the way. Under regional form of government, Nigeria saw its best periods of development as not only our natural resources were harnessed, but also an important resource - ourselves. This unitary form has made many lazy and dependent on handouts from the central government and only those with this freeloader mentality are the ones kicking against it. We run a most expensive democratic government and yet, have little in way of results to show for it. I believe the Parliamentary style would discourage a lot of politicians who see politics as a scramble for that national cake. |
