moodswing: All I see in the comments are very unfortunate opinions and halfbaked show of intelligence.


This our beloved country can't split without half of you commenters dead.

Although I agree that a sovereign national conference should be convened, but on a term that guarantees true nationalism. Not just to paper over the cracks.

Mind you the moment Nigeria cease to exist, that's the exact moment we cease to be powerful (Igwebuike)

All we need is tolerance, respect and love. Which isn't too much to ask.

God will help us.


The statements made by the senate is best described as deception in its purest form, considering the antecedents of the present crop of politicians as a group of ventripotent individuals with preference for tergiversation at the slightest opportunity, based on their lust for pandering to their gluttonous appetite which is best satisfied by looting our national wealth. We all know this is an act of sphallolalia which stinks to the high heavens. By paying lip service to the national interest is just a ploy to deceive the unsuspecting populace into thinking that they have our issues at heart, whereas deep down in their heart they know its because of the 2015 elections, whereas if the situation was different, they would have been more comfortable with playing the role of a gongoozler, rather than making meaningful contribution to the national well being of Nigerians. I wouldn't want to be seen as a pessimist, but would rather be a realist because we have been humbugged for so long by these thieves and we refuse to be swindled.

Enough is enough, come 2015 I pray and hope that the dynamics changes and the cheats are chased out of power.

Halelujah National conference or Soverign conference you are welcome. Well meaning Nigerians have been clamouring for your arrival since the Babangida era. Even during the OBJ time we waited patiently but you did not come. You were like an expected messiah that will not come. We are really happy that you have finally arrived. I know you are a very contoversial babie. Some will welcome you while some will not. But I welcome you wth all my heart, strenght and might. Some may try to strangulate you but I pray you will survive.

Don't mind the confused fellow, Igwebuike where he/she is not seen as a full citizen of the country. What do you need powerfulness for? While many small/ weak countries are progressing and developing, we are stagnant claiming the Giant/Dwarf of Africa. Many SE people are really confused of their futures in this world.

Nigerians when are you going to understand nigerian poloticians? This type of nationa conference was hold during obj time in asorock, nothing meaningful came frm it.

Now good GEJ is going to hold another one just to douce the tension and waste money that was suposed to be used for other better things.

Nigeria is not one every dick and harry knows this, if any body say we are one may his immediate family be as one as nija. A country where no other tribe is allowed to be the president aprt frm one tribe. A country where a paticuler tribe is masacard like flys in their country. A country where most ppl that are pressing for one nigeria can never invest in some part of the contry.

Just to mension a few we are not one country the erlier we recognise this and quickly do some thing about it the better we all will progress better, else we will continue to turn round and round while 2 among all will continue to use the oportuinity to develope their region.

Truth is always hard to accept but it must be told no matter how any body fill, they should go in there and discuss how many country will come out of this lord lugard country. I will sugest 2 or 3 country as the case may be, or what do think. These my opinion

Mark for sharing one of the best way to bring Nigeria ideology and openly telling anti GEJ and good Nigerians that this country should not be held to ransom by few selfish elites who feel that they own and their brother must head 2015. I hope this tips will serve as an eyes opener to some people who dnt understand the nature, history and the origin of PDP crises and why?. Even Mr Obama cant handle Nigeria currently hence the need to seat on a roundtable to agree on the way forward. The complex nature of our political system goes beyond one man but require a collective force to win.. Behold the people's voice by Sir Mark tell them.

SOVEREIGN NATIONAL CONFERENCE? My ANSWER is CAPITAL YES! !100% Yes it is LONG OVER DUE.
IT MUST BE SOVEREIGN! Many are tired of this UNHOLY UNION. A UNION that is based and founded on OIL, FALSEHOOD & COHESION.
It has caused US so much.
1954-57- "Araba" Slogan-Arabs means lets share it by Sir Ahamadu Bello
1966-coup and counter coup
1967-Biafrian Civil War
There are over 50 Religion and Ethnic Crisis in Nigeria after Independence. This number is even far above the Crisis in Nigerian during Colonialism
The casualties are more than we had in the precolonial Nigeria.
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode]
[i][/i]
WHY THEN DO SOME PEOPLE STILL WANT US TO REMAIN ONE or "UNITED" "INDIVISIBLE" or "INSOLVABLE"?
2 REASONS:
[i][/
1. OUR BIG FOR NOTHING SIZE. [b][/b]THEY ARE USING IT FOR THEIR SELFISH AGGRANDIZEMENT-Locally and Internationally while we the masses are suffering.
2. OIL OUR RESOURCE WHICH HAS BECOME A CURSE TO THE MASSES
What will SOVEREIGN NATIONAL CONFERENCE ADDRESS?
EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING!!! EVERYTHING!!!
It will EXAMINE the UNION and allow Ethnic Nationalities to DECIDE whether they want to remain in it or JETTISON it.
This SHOULD be the CENTRAL SUBJECT Matter. All the RESOLUTIONS should Then be FORWARDED TO THE United Nation to administer a REFERENDUM JUST as was done in SUDAN.
The result of this process will ULTIMATELY LEAD to the CREATION of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more SUPER NATIONS from Nigeria.
WILL DAVID MARK Give us this ?
Will GEJ give us this ?
Will Atiku and his group give us this ?
Please answer these QUESTIONS my friends and brothers in NIGERIA?
See Detail Solution:
To avoid wastage- PRONACO had done a Conference of Ethnic Nationalities, under the Chairmanship of Anthony Enahoro. There was also another conference organized by Obasanjo under Justice Niki Tobi and Bishop Mattew Kuka. GEJ should pick their Resolutions and Make it open to Nigerians for inputs. Their outcomes should be published it in dailies, radio and TV stations, Blogs, social media platforms etc for inputs to be made through the same medium. After that one individual each should be taken from all the media organizations, social media platforms to form the input collation team. A drafting committee will then be set up: The Committee should have Bishop Kuka and Justice Niki Tobi as Chairman and Secretary having seen how they RESISTED OBASANJO's PLAN to use them to introduce Third Term into the Constitutional Conference he organized.
The 1st QUESTION that MUST be ask across ethnic groups i.e Ibo, Hausa, Yoruba DO YOU WANT TO REMAIN IN NIGERIAN OR NOTE. in ballot papers
Nigerian should vote YES or NO on the First round.
On the second round other Ethnic groups should be asked. Do you want to join any of the three major ethnic or remain alone?
All the votes will be collated and the result declared.
The United Nation should be INVITED to SUPERVISE the REFERENDUM and the ENTIRE PROCESS.
I am proposing a group that will begin to campaign through the media and social media for Sovereign National Conference please contact me if you will like to JOIN the Group called Reformed Nationalist Movement101 call me on -08090993424 or 08029535021. or oshoatiosi2003@yahoo.com
PLEASE READ THE TRUE STORY ABOUT NIGERIA.
PROFESSOR ADE AJAYIJ- FOREMOST NIGERIAN HISTORIAN SAID NIGERIAN WAS A COUNTRY BUILT ON TOP OF A WATER WITH NO FOUNDATION.
PLEASE NOTE : THE AMALGAMATION WAS DONE MAINLY FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CONVENIENCE OF THE BRITISH COLONIALIST. SEE LUGARD L: DUAL MANDATE. THE BRITISH WERE HERE FOR THE PURPOSE OF GETTING RAW MATERIALS FOR THEIR FACTORIES IN LIVERPOOL, LANCASHIRE, Manchester. SEE WALTER RODNEY: HOW EUROPE UNDERDEVELOPED AFRICA.
During the Pre-Colonial Nigerian particularly in the 1880-1890 through to 1900, it was easier to go from Kano to Mali. It was easier to go from Borno to Mali or Morocco than to go from Kano to Lagos. Africa South of the Sahara now Northern Nigerian had MUCH more Closer Economic and Religious ties with Niger, Mali, Sudan, Chad, Morroco and Algeria-They were called -Africa South of the Saharan. Tehy were part of SUDAN. see Map. The Gueane Savanna part of Dahomey-now Western Nigerian had Economic ties with Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana and Burkina Faso. While the Swamp and Mangrove Forest Region the Eastern and South Southern Nigerian had Economic ties with Cameroon,Gulf of Guinea, Ivory Coast, etc.
So we NEVER had anything COMMON with the PEOPLE OF SUDAN AREA known as Northern Nigeria was called. PLEASE STUDY THE FOLLOWING MAPS
