She even looks like a cat.

Yasher:
Sick but I sure would like to see her eat a live kitten. Hope someone will videotape it

MizMyColi:

Gross

She is sending a message to the authorities that even in death row I will take a life and break one of your laws.

She is clearly psychopathic I swear - it's high time to revisit death rows last meal request , before some psycho would request for the impossible and marched to court that she or he can't be hanged without having the last meal.

Trust oyibo to listen to the sick fellow....white people have lost it , but unfortunately we are following them bumper to bumper.

It's sickening I tell you.
So what if she'd asked for a human being?

Yes, you're right, if Oyinbo man hasn't done it then we shouldn't.
We really need to start getting rid of certain mentalities if we will move forward as a Nation.

Truckpusher:
Lmao @ asking for human being.
That was why I said what if these sick fellows asks for the impossible before facing their sentence?

As long as we are stuck with democracy which is a major conveyor for capitalism,my dear I'm afraid it can only get worse until Africa itself experiences their own reniassance, self consciousness and a huge economic awakening.

Though awakening of this nature doesn't come around until the people must have gone through a catastrophic event that threatened their very existence.

MizMyColi:


The question now is, how much are we willing to sacrifice, are we even willing to sacrifice anything at all?

I'm ashamed to say that corruption has become a norm.
And any attempt to REALLY change this status quo'll be met with very derisive and staunch resistance from all quarters.

Look at the impunity with which a tiny spec in the dust, when compared to the Nigerian populace, has so far so ill, held this nation to ransom.
Just look!

And then one of them receives an angelic visitation from Jah Jehovah and just because he's neither a south-westerner nor northerner....a motive has been attached to his patriotic gesture.

That said, I will continue to hope against hope that one day, we will finally start getting these things right.

Truckpusher:
Corrutpion is a hydra head problem in Nigeria that can't be solved by wishful thinking or banking on the conscience of the people as everyone of us is a part and parcel of the same system .

I share this sentiment too.

We need to start being innovative by introducing a better way of running a system that ensures that one agency and individuals acts as a watchdog over another and of course whistle blowers need to be encouraged and their identity concealed from the general public as well as remove all the immunity clause for active office holders with a proper way of accountability to the anti graft agencies.

If need be that we should become a police state to achieve these things, so be it.

This is exactly what most of us would resist.
We are not ready, and we will continue to hide under the cloak of democracy.
When any slight shift occurs as it pertains following the rule of law, folks are quick to cry blue murder and insist that someone somewhere is trying to truncate our democracy.
What they're inadvertently saying is that someone is trying to shut down the hydra headed monster system called corruption and as far as they are concerned, it spells doom!

What I'm saying is that every penny spent by an individual that is far way above his or her pay package should be properly scrutinized by any state or federal anti graft agencies to ascertain that such monies where actually worked for.And individuals can report their spouses ,fathers ,sons,daughters et al but you can only achieve this if we use modern technological advanced system and a controlled system to police the police first, watch the judges and of course our constitution should be revisited let it highlight the yearnings and aspirations of the people . But guess what ? Some quarters of this country would rather cling to the old constitution which has given them an upper hand in the socio-economic political stage of this country ,hence we are stuck with an old wound whose only cure is amputation. If we don't give corruption the necessary attention it deserves because of some political landscape and a shift in economic paradigm that might change due to restructuring we will face a greater upheaval in the nearest future as a nation.
The people that are holding Nigeria to ransom because of their myopic regional interests know themselves and it is in their own best interest to do what is right before it will be too late for everyone of us.Our current structure and constitution supports and encourages corruption. After all the community goat is no man's goat. We need to have a sense of belonging and take ownership else we can't achieve this under this unitary system of Governance that is fraudulent in nature.


This is where the issue of referendum comes in.

On the points you stated above, I believe there are certain men in this country who have vowed to see this kind of change happen over their dead bodies, I do not wish anyone ill, but if that's what it will take, then SO BE IT, and FAST TOO!

Someone opined and I lean towards that argument that federalism in Nigeria is a fraud.
Except of course, the past is re-visited and certain issues corrected via our constitution.
The parlance, "monkey dey work, baboon dey chop, comes to mind".

Now that I look at this entity called Nigeria, I shudder to think that we've mostly been under the whims and caprices of the colonial wolves and a few greedy locales who deemed it fit, for their own purpose to amalgamate us....
No wonder the President-Elect visited the UK a few days back and from his body language, one can conclude that Nigeria has always been under the posture of subservience to the UK, fifty five years after independence
I learned we were doing just fine under the regional system of government.

I have always been a proponent of One Nigeria....but enough of the wishful and lullabic thinking, if they will not accede to our call for a revisit to that tool of oppression called constitution, then it's high time we started thinking of going back and proactively so, to the era of regionalism.

Waow!
Thanks for this schooling.

I hope you are still on track with these statements:

Lols
Let's say I'm not

School me na.

MizMyColi:

kaboninc:


Hmmm, am still learning too

Why would you lean towards an argument that federalism is a fraud in Nigeria?

Hehehehe
I don't know much on the subject either, but hey, I was talking with Truckie....even if I goof, I knew he'd correct me without taking my head to the cleaners.

To your question...

My problem with federalism is not with the system itself but with those who manage this system.
Other parts of the world either practice this system of governance or a unitary government.
Here in Nigeria, it has been marred with imbalance, instability, conflicts and divisiveness.

It feels like a particular section feeds off of this nations's collective wealth while a certain other is marginalized.

Even among our ruling class, there is division and insincerity of purpose.

If Nigeria will remain a federation, the need and cries to create a balance of sorts as far as the many interests of this nation is concerned, will always be there.

I mentioned the constitution because I feel it favours a certain section of the Nigerian populace more.
Let there be a free and fair federal constitutional modus vivendi whereby the true representatives of the Nigerian people are wholly involved.

We don't want the same set of people who keep recycling and reinventing themselves through their puppets.

Give us genuine democracy, or like Truckie suggested, a true Police state
