Has Jonah-daft apologized for calling leaders of a part of a country RASCALS? Pending that, the fool is simply reaping from what he sowed.

Meaning Arewa, the north is doing the north because same Confab was headed by a northerner and an Arewan..The wailing northerners

One person bought and paid for by the corrupt government cannot represent the north.

Really..I don't want to be disrespectful and call u a big fat liar, but what you said is far from the truth.. the confab consisted of equall number of people from the region. .and then representatives from all over the country and outside. .it had representative of people in diaspora, the police force, human right activist and so many others. .those representatives of various groups were selected irrespective of their tribe or region.

Blame GEJ and not the APC which didn't support the whole confab to begin with. Obviously, Jonathan merely used the confab as a bargaining chip towards his reelection. He definitely could have sent it to a PDP-controlled national assembly to ensure its passage but chose to foot-drag for selfish purposes. It really pains me that he messed up that opportunity. It's naive to expect the APC to now do what he failed to do.

And you think it will be passed undecided, Northerners dont care about what party wants but what will benefit them first as a Northern unit, this is the area SS and SE need to adjust and think since SW has decided to be South spoilers. There are more languages in the North than the south but they have manage to unit while dividing South South and South East using South west as the joker

Who saw they are using North to say what they want to say?
We Arewa, we North.


But when it comes to us
.N/Delta, we Igbos, we Ijaws, SS, SE, Igbo nation.

Why not collectively answer East?
"Oh no, Igbo man wants our oil, Igbos will dominate us Niger Deltans".
Ok OK then use ur Original name Biafra.

"I am not Biafran oh, if u come to Cross River and shout Biafra, u will not go back alive".
"Biafra is for Igbos, we are N/Delta, I want resource control and amnesty money".

"Oh no, Nnamdi Kanu is spreading hate and seditious, we enlightened Igbos don't support him".

The North will always have their way.

This is eye opening for those who have brain to think. The North hates the confab report because they want oil, oil oil oil, yet they despise anything or anyone from Niger delta. The reason why they detest GEJ second term is because of oil blocks, precious stones worth millions in USD are mined in the North on a daily basis, where does the money go to? do they remit this money to the federal account? NO, but they are quick to claim one Nigeria because of Oil. I have said it I'm my last post, the danger is not yet totally averted, we are still play very strong ethnic card here, tension is silently high and it will surely lead to the violent break up of this nation if we don't thread with caution especially APC and Arewa.

Some of my Yoruba friends do not seem to understand yet that so long as the 19 states and Abuja political structure remains in the north; with only 17 states in the entire south, a true son of Yoruba becoming president of Nigeria is a mirage; at best, when Arewa is tired of ruling, it shall appoint another Obasanjo-like president from Yorubaland.

One says this because each time the southeast asked for political restructuring, some Yoruba were the first to say that there are already too many states, so why bother to create more. Perhaps, they believed that only southeast zone is cheated by the five-states-only structure allowed by northern military dictators in the southeast area. But in truth, the five-states-only structure in the southeast area contributes a lot to deny adequate political representation to the entire south of Nigeria.

Why will the same Arewa leave the Igbos and fly to yorubaland to find someone to support, just like they did to Ekwueme despite how igbos have helped them in the past?

How can SE, that is not up to Kwara or Niger State be divided again?

Our president is not a powerful as you think. For instance the US President has the power of veto but a Nigerian President has no veto power, the national assembly always check him.

The kind of powers a Nigerian President has in his "federation" is such that no other President has (including the US) in their own federations. Our own President is just too powerful and with the right political will and sagacity, its not impossible

If you do not how federal system is operated go ask questions. Deriving new federating units and political representation in a federal country is not based on land mass, but by equitable representation of the groups that agreed to join the federation at any time.

In the US, no soldier can divide the very large states of California or Texas into many states and derive more political representatives for the new states for the US Congress, without dividing other smaller states in equal multiples. But that is what exactly northern soldiers did in dividing one northern Nigeria into 19 states and Abuja, and sent more representatives than the once two regions south to the National Assembly.

That is fraud, and that is one of the cruxes of the current rebellion by cheated groups in the south.

You don't even understand why people continue to demand for states in the face of the reality that many of the existing states can't even pay salaries to civil servants. The existing political structure makes Nigeria a semblance of George Orwell's "Animal Farm" It must be restructured in a democracy.

Tinubu has been asking for true and fiscal federalism before APC, tell him to tell Buhari to implement true and fiscal federalism if you know how a pluralistic country like Nigeria is supposed to be run. Methinks, at one point, even Buhari preached for return of fiscal federalism to Nigeria. You are being fooled.
Idonbelieve you deserve any more response from me.

Pluralistic federalism and the creation on states are contradictory policies. Beyond the ethnic argument and the perceived injustice in the census you have not made any economic nor advantages of the creation of another state in an already balkanised landmass.

Some of the states that would give up their landmass to accommodate the new state are about the size of towns in Nigeria, can barely accommodate 3 functional local government. The is no good reason to have one more states in southern Nigeria, if at all some states need to be broken up in the north due to their sheer size.

I doubt you have looked at the Nigerian map lately

this is my take
Jonathan Turns Nigeria into a Christian Country:
95% of Federal Appointments as heads of Parastatals / Agencies
were given to Christians as shown below.
The SGF, Service Chiefs (Army, Navy, Airfoce), 100% Ministers from Southern Nigeria are all Christians.
100% of Ministers from Yoruba Land are all Christians. 70% of his Ministers are
Christians in a secular country like Nigeria
Surely Jonathan is clearly against Muslims

Buhari has mostly appointed security positions and in this type of appointments, you appoint those you trust.

Jonathan appointed southerners in all this key security positions when he was elected, why people didn't notice was because he appointed his ministers along with them.

It is unimaginable any of the six zones that can now vote for return to regional government system after long years of the states enjoying autonomy - freedom from control by the structures of the old regions. That's why the southeast asks for additional state. But because it was difficult to carry all Nigeria along to create just only one state for the southeast, the CONFAB had to create more states to placate other groups asking for new states. The new states recommended by the CONFAB is expensive, but a difficult pain Nigeria has to endure to be freed from centrifugal forces aiming to tear it apart.

Are the numerous northern states already created are expensive! worst still they are mostly non viable just created to siphon Nigeria purse

Let me tell u this and i will be straight to the point..............
1) we need a conference that will determine if we Nigerians trully want to be together or not.
2) If No, the process of our disintegration.
3) If Yes, the basis for our togetherness
4) A proper;y constituted conference whose decisions wont be subjected to the NASS (that means it must be SNC)
Whatever imbalance u are afraid of now will be sorted out there and then. the NC never assured that for ur info. The moment Jonah-daft made it a no go area, i knew it was just another waste sojourn like OBjs.
Bro... You got it jare... Don't mind them...
But an adage yoruba says that "Ti aba ri adan ale fi Onbe Sebo" which means if the govt implements the GEJ CONfab reports I think it will give room for SNC...
