what you don't seem to know is that there are yorubas in kogi and kwara but that has not made them claim that region as theirs.

The western region was splitted into the SW and midwest in thesame manner the eatern region became SE and SS. I just wonder why the ibos can't see that life has moved on. The divisions is based on ethnicity. They are not ibos.
Tell us why you(yereba) want them(SS) to remain in this country with you.
And again, Who made yerebas the mouthpiece of the South southerners? why do yereba want SS more than their yereba brothers that is in Kogi and kwara?

Yes! The present nature of the national system fosters corruption. The system is poorly structured and it need immediate restructuring. No doubt about that! But the question is; who will or should bring about the restructuring? Who are those saddled with the responsibility of law making? Are we to say that, if all the senators and rep members from the whole south resolve and put forward the need for the restructuring of this nation, wont it eventually scale through at the end, even if their counterparts from the north decides otherwise? If so, what then is stopping them from even thinking along such line, let alone raising dust to bring it to pass? Why? It is simple: they dont just care whether the system is itself, faulthy or not. All they think and care about,(which they had already immagined up their greedy heads before elections) is the benefits they would reap from such lofty positions.

Thus, the actual problem still point back to THE OPERATORS OF THE SYSTEM, and not just the SYSTEM itself!

Corruption has more to do with individual ideology and objectivism, not just the particular structure of a system!

Belgium that you mentioned was able to achieve that purpose, because they have career and people-minded political and economic ruling elites; but the same can not be said of Nigeria.

Tell me, When last did you actually voted and your vote counted, especially in elections for states representatives? Or better still, what good dividends or impact of a representative government have your locality or constituency benefited since the democratic life of Nigeria began?

If the answer is none or not much, it is therefore as a result of the same twin evil-- Corruption and insensitivity on the part of the ruling elites! If it wasn't there, the story would have been different, irrespective of the faulty System!
it is true that we speedilyu need a change in structuring of the system, and nobody is afraid of that. But the question still remain: where are the leaders that would bring about this change? Well, the painful answer is, thery are not there because the ones we have now are so selfish and corrupt. And you can never chieve any mea
ningful development where corruption and insensitivity thrives!

Thats the point i was trying to make. We need a change, but the corruption wont let it!

Your Analogy is excellent.
But we need a systems that can reduce corruption. ABUJA holding Economic power is to far from the people, hence a heaven for corruption, keeping whooping 52%+ of natiinal income.
Econmic power need to be shifted to regions, allow them to use their resuses and develop the way they want.
What is secondary schools doing in the office of a fed minister in abuja, what can he do to enhance FGC immiringi? What is primary health care doing in Abuja, what can there do to improve services at primary health center okomoko? Abuja should just be for Military, part policing, CBN, Foriegn Affairs and part tetiary education and research institution.
Y should a man in niger state wait for Abuja to develope his solid mineral? Why should Enugu need abuja to mine coal wasting in their domain? Do u know 46% of gemany's power comes from coal? Yet ours is lying fallow because of Abuja Bureaucracy.

Many state governors a lazying abt waiting for abj to share money or ball them with no condition after state funds has been cyphooned without any condition for the bail.
What a shamefull way of running a nation.

Truely, I don't think Nigeria will ever get better unless we make changes that will encourage regional growth.

Waiting for politians is a waste of time, the people must united and demand for the change they want.

The guy just said the truth u dont want to hear.
but this tread is not about biafra,

It about Econmic development of Eastern Nigeria, within the nigeria state. Its about true regional federalism.

Its about openning up the region that was once the fastest growing region in the world. Destroyed by selfish Nigerians, planting dis unity among brothesr that dwell peacefully thausands of years before the arrival of white man.

With little or no record of wars.

Ss and Se must not allow this people to destroy our region.

I think people tend to misunderstand the concept of unity between Ss and SE.
The people that misunderstands it are yerebas because, they don't want to see us (SE+SS) together. yerebas always see our (SE+SS) togetherness as their doom.

But is true, why are u scared of SS/SE alliance for Economic develooment?

Won't you be happy if calabar port is dredged and akwa ibom port developed and made a viable cantainer and cargo terminals.
Then the numerous inland water ways develop, the eastern rail way modernised, Aba, Onitsha, Nnewi industrial hubs expanded,
Agricultural produce eg Palm oil, canshew etc and Industrial products easily exported and imported via calabar, Ibeno and PH.

Won't you be happy, If Igbos channel their business acttivities east ward, and going deep into central Africa? At leasr Lagos will be free for u, thought its what u want?
Why then are u against this innitative ? are u an enermy of progress or a witch?

Did u even read the article in the link u posted above, stop abusing why making your point it doesn't make u educated.

Excerpt from the link

If they feel betrayed, we from the southeast, particularly those from Anambra, Imo and Abia states feel more betrayed because we stood firmly for regional governments. We also strongly supported state police. So, the question of betrayal is not right. It can be said that they did not get what they want, but so do we. We stood for regionalism, we fought for it, we talked about it, and we canvassed for it too. But don’t forget that in situations like this, if you are indeed talking of democracy, you must respect the opinion of the minority but the majority must take the vote.... Dr Ikedife.

The fact that delegates from ebonyi state voted against it, does not make it SE stand. Ebonyi want true federalism on states capacity which is not too bad.

South south refuse sstate police, remember the Amaechi and Gej Sega could have influenced such moyopic decision.

Remember North have more delegates than south.

Regional fedraleral system is the best for Nigeria. Remember the eviable height of this nation in the 60s was a product of regional govts
All this ranting doesn't change the fact that Ebonyi and Enugu were against resource control. Shikena!

I think, (like Dr Wokili said,) the Only Way Forward For Nigeria is to tackle the menace of corruption and the faulty structure of the system.

For instance, Nigerians are rightly not respected anywhere in the world. The first thing that comes to mind with the name ‘Nigeria’ is corruption and deception. One is automatically guilty of these vices until you proof yourself otherwise. Our bad national image has been cultivated and nurtured to maturity over the past decades by successive regimes in this country. Our image is the bye-product of unbridled corruption, avarice, false democracy as presently practiced in this country, indiscipline and loss of morale values by the generality of Nigerians as exemplified by various successive self imposed leaders. We are currently not practicing democracy but DEMONcrazy which is flagrant demonstration of demonic craziness. Elections are rigged coupled with violence, public pronouncements of our leaders are the exact opposite of what they practice, the law enforcement agents are compromised, the ordinary folks out there have lost confidence on the judiciary, dishonesty governs the leadership while deception becomes the compass. This has been the story for decades. While a few people are swimming in the ocean of affluence, majority of Nigerians are wearing oversized garments of poverty decorated with ornamental frustration. The universities are churning out graduates in hundreds of thousands every year without jobs thereby grooming them into future armies of revolution. Insecurity as expressed in assassinations, kidnappings, and now terrorism, is the order of the day! How do
we come out of this quagmire?

I find out that the only difference between the people in the western world and Nigerians is the quality of leadership offered which is a reflection of the administrative structures in place. Aside from this, Nigerians and the westerners (Americans, Britons, French, and Germans etc) are basically the same and will behave the same way under the same conditions. The westerners and Nigerians have the same natural instincts for bad and good, it is the administrative structure in the society that shapes the conduct of the people by promoting either of the instincts with the other one diminished. Whichever instinct is consistently promoted over a period of time becomes the culture/value/ norm of that society just like corruption is a
standard value in the present day Nigeria. This goes to say that if Americans were to be evacuated to Nigeria and vice-versa, over a very reasonable period of time, the corrupt administrative structural system in Nigeria will wear out the dominant positive attitude of the Americans and gradually reduce them to the level of Nigerians. That is why majority of Nigerians residing overseas behave like their hosts and on their return back home, they change to be the usual Nigerians. The problem is not the people but the administrative structures and leadership. Leadership uses structural administrative system to change the society for good or bad. Nigerians are the most obedient set of human species that I have ever seen and they are excellent copy-cats of their leaders. They sheepishly follow the foot- steps and direction of their leaders without questioning. The present Nigerians that are perceived at overseas as the most corrupt on earth are reflective of the leadership and will turn out to be the most decent on earth once the leadership gets it right! Even the leadership is a victim of the corruption and faulty the structural system that encourages all forms of negative vices, hence the need for fundamental and holistic changes. The state and federal administrative structural set-ups should be fundamentally changed to achieve a truly democratic society where the rule of law reigns supreme above everyone including the presidency.

The law enforcement agents like the Police, EFCC, SSS, NIA, etc should be completely and truly independent in terms of funding and administration as it obtains in the western world. The press should be empowered by law to request for, obtain and publish documents that border on corruption and any other matters that are of public interest without being harassed by law enforcement agents. INEC should be truly and completely independent in terms of funding and administration, receiving orders from no one.
The judiciary both at state and federal levels, should be truly and completely independent and no state or federal executive should have any form of power/influence on the judiciary by making the appointment, promotion and dismissal of local, state and federal judges the sole responsibility of the National Judicial Council without seeking the permission or approval from anyone.

Electoral malpractices should attract capital punishment because such culprits are toying with the lives of millions of Nigerians!
To me, corruption should attract public execution or amputation, because it is the most dangerous and potent ‘weapon of mass destruction’! It kills enmass via road accidents, typhoid as a result of untreated water, simple diseases due to lack of adequate medical provisions etc as the budgeted funds are embezzled. When leaders at Local, State and Federal levels know that they can be exposed by the press, arrested by the police and arraigned before judges for maximum punishment without anybody (including the President) having the power to intercede, everyone will be on his/her toes! Election rigging will seize and elected leaders will have no option but to serve the people or else end up in jail. Militancy will fizzle away because leaders (executives and
law makers) can be held responsible for their actions by the poor using instrumentalities of law without any hindrance or fear, assured that pure justice will be applied. ‘God-fatherism’ in Nigerian politics will not find any footing. Graduates will not be roaming the streets for jobs reserved for the ‘connected’ ones that are even less qualified.

Factories will spring up, there would be jobs, and unemployment would be drastically reduced, if not ended. And the result would be a peaceful and blissful Nigeria.

Till then, God bless Nigeria!

But this too may also prove difficult to achieve, given the escalating hatred among the people that should matter,based on tribal differencies and regionalism: the perfect ploy and tool deployed by the elites to ensure non awakening on the part of the people.

Just immagine what is happening here on Nairaland presently, it makes me wonder at times if this people are from the same country!

The big question is, who will implement this great solution? Is it our current set of political and economic elites, when they are the exact antithesis of your propositions and benefit so much from the rot of the current system? Or the people that are bitterly divided along our national fault lines, coming together to demand equity of our leaders?

Know that Your question is adding pains to an already bleeding heart, and is making me to be more sad, because the fabrics of my patriotic heart have long been nagged and contracted against on this very question, only on a rhetorical mode. And the painful realisation that has confronted me on each occassion , was an unwanted but factual conclusion based on the direction/chains of events, in line with the degree of causal relativism, that; in the absence of "the beutiful ones that are not yet born" (the godly political and economic elites), its becoming more apparent that IT IS ONLY A NATIONAL PURGE THROUGH A BLOODY REVOLUTION that may bring about such lofty propositions.

And the realisation is even more painful when you consider the fact that, for long, many have been praying and working in ways so that we don't experience the horrors of civil unrest, which is the hall mark of all revolutions, like the one of 1967-1970: the same experience that is now gradually becoming more inevitable, glaring at us on face level. The last straw that could ''Balkanize" the political entity called Nigeria!

South Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, are not pleasant reflections!

Thus, what we have been trying to avoid for ages could be brought upon us by our own vengeful hands, regarding the wrong we are trying to correct!

its like We are neither here nor there!

My Heart Bleed!

For we are Caugtht In The MIDDLE!

God help Nigeria.

ibo gum body, these you mention do they love you? The question is that you've war with them and opres them.

Look at this one. Who loves anyone in Nigeria? There are even communities in my state Anambra that don't like each other, nothing new. The question is are those people Igbos?
