the funny thing is that we will all gather here and lament as usual and afterwards we will relegate back to supporting our tribes' man that is in power.... a sincere mind knows that our basic problem lies in tribalism I.e supporting people from our tribe even when it's very clear he's committed a crime..... I wonder why we shouldn't advocate that this country be made to function in such a way that tribal prejudice won't be given a chance to play a part.... Why can't all the citizens of Nigeria stand up and advocate for true federalism or better still dissolution of this country?
every sane mind knows that this will propel every region forward but due to lack of confidence some pipo has failed to accept this venture.... "How depressing".... "our" own doesn't really bring the effects "my" own brings yet we've refused to imbibe it in the issues concerning Nigeria... How I wish I have the power but then, what do I know?

Guess they're all waiting for the oil to finish.

Do you really, like really really, like really really really think that, if there was no oil, we'd still be one

They hate you, but won't let you go or be semi autonomous. We calk that "crabs in a bucket" mentality.

When one crab is in an open bucket, it can escape. However, when multiple crabs are in an open bucket, non escape as each crabs pulls the other down. Real talk, watch a YouTube clip.

You mind educating me on how united Ndigbo is in case we decentralize?

DMerciful:
These days you hear people say 'Nigeria will be great again'...emphasis on AGAIN. Has Nigeria ever been great before? look at just a few occurrence in the past that shows we have never truly achieved greatness.
1.The first republic(Balewa's govt) was overthrown for massive corruption. Politicians were highly corrupt then.
2.Aguiyi Ironsi was overthrown 6 months after becoming head of state in what look like ethnically motivated
3.Gowon's govt was overthrown by Murtala Mohd for failing to meet the expectation of the Nigerian people.
4. Murtala was overthrown and assassinated 6 months after coming to power.
5.Democratically elected govt of Shagari was overthrown by Buhari for corruption
6.Buhari was overthrown for insensitivity of the diversity of the Nigerian state and lack of essential commodities
7. Babangida instituted corruption and suffering through SAP
8.Abacha stole all the money.
9. Obasanjo did fairly well but did not follow due process and rule of law.
10.Yaradua then Turai held the country to ransom.
11. GEJ did not exert himself and allowed stealing and Boko haram manace to thrive.
12. Buhari hit the ground and remained there...

so when has nigeria been great, i honestly want to know.

are they united now? will they start being united if they stay as Nigerians for a thousand years?.... if an igbo man isn't united in today's Nigeria with his kinsman as u are sarcastically implying through ur question, How much more with a Yoruba or an Hausa. man? staying in Nigeria wouldn't make him start liking any of them....
don't get me wrong ... I love Nigeria very much, but it seems like nothing is working and will ever work .. am just suggesting what might help everyone move forward.

ATERI:


The point is, there is no evidence to back up the theory that the South-East would do better than it`s doing now should we decentralize. In other words, lack of decentralization is not affecting Igbo anymore than it`s affecting other regions in Nigeria. Ndigbo have this tendency to bring everything that is wrong with the South-East down to others and I see that as a problem.
I believe the African society needs to adjust and change one or two things before politics can work. A big country has advantages and disadvantages. The Nigeria we have today is not working because a foreign political system is imported into a totally different culture of ours. Separation is not going to change that.

Caseless:
Because of our potentials, human resources and resilience.

Nigeria was great in their dreams and their deluded minds..


You see, one thing you don't understand is the thought processing of Zombies.

* When their master drank alcohol, they get intoxicated.

* The master eat meat, they handle toothpicks .

* The master dirty his shoes, they cleans it.

* The master ywarns they suffer headache

* The master farts, they celebrate the odor

Nigeria has always been a backward dungeon. .

What's going to change it then? I guess these will change it
1. Dogmatizing every Nigerian child that "we are the leaders of tomorrow " when those that told them that said it to the children's fathers 20 years ago?
2. By dogmatizing every Nigerian citizen with the quote "our unity lies in our diversity " when it's vivid to outsiders that monotony is our second name.
3. By telling every Nigerian I see as on social media, streets,. market place and school that "we must come together as one if we really want to move this country forward " as we normally do year in year out as if we've been apart since 1914.....
I can go on and on but truth be told am tired of hearing those things, they are bores and pains to my ears and should be same to anyone that. means well for Nigeria.... Check all the speeches being made by our leaders, all they say bothers on those 3 quotes and the annoying thing is that After saying them, they relax and wait until election day to feast on what they enjoy most Which is tribalism and the cycle continues... I'm tired of false hopes if u ain't yet, that's ur problem.
