I am Yoruba, from Oka-Akoko and I presently live in England. If the government and the people of England no longer like my presence, they can order the Secretary of State for Home Department to deport me. If I were to be deported, I will go to Oka-Akoko, meet with my uncle, the Olubaka Of Oka and demand of him some parcels of land to build a bungalow and start a farming business. Three or five years down the line, I would have attained self-sufficiency.
But my friend, a prince from Gbaramotu Kingdom in the Niger Delta, if he's to have been deported from England, he cannot go to Gbaramotu Kingdom, and demand for land from his family either to build or for farming. The Federal Government of Nigeria, several kilometres in Abuja, controls every land in his kingdom because they have oil.
In Oka-Akoko, we also have Palm Oil tree, free gift of nature like oil, but we control our resources and not the Federal Government.
Change is not replacing PDP with APC. Change is replacing Unitary System with True and Fiscal Federalism.

Consequently, maybe I was right when I mentioned in an earlier post that "...the Federal Government [of Nigeria] appears to have too many functions wrapped in its [tiny] hands"?

We are a democracy.

We are the system. We change the system to suit us and not for us to adapt to the system.

Only in jungles do people adapt to their environment.

In civilised society the people modify the environment to suit them - that is what civilisation means.

If adamu or Tajudeen does not want the system to change, the we will leave adamu and tajudeen in their useless system.

how many things your system don change(apart from voting apc thank goodness we now sure we have a democracy).
nigerians not the system is the problem.
nothing can change when ppl keep selling their votes for cups of rice(which kin poverty and ignorance be dat,at least request a bag a year)

when people say fiscal or whatever federalism. first we need to defined federalism.

noun (plural federalisms)system of national government in which power is divided between acentral authority and a number ofregions with delimited self-governing authority.Advocacy of such a system.

let also look what democracy have to say

noun (plural democracies)(uncountable) Rule by the people, especially as a form of government; either directly or through elected representatives (representative democracy).countable government A governmentunder the direct or representative rule of the people of its jurisdiction.(uncountable) Belief in political freedom and equality; the "spirit of democracy".

but will have in Nigeria is militarism under disguise as federalism and democracy. we are subject to our militarism rules where democracy and federalism is subdued out of greed. the poor northerners don't benefit from the Niger Delta oil likewise the Niger Delta people. but a few selected elite who won't let go of the resource will surly overrides any decision for resource control

noun (plural militarists)One who believes in the use of military force.

I said this thing earlier... The only way Pdp can draw the mind of elites especially from the doomed Apc of Tinubu and Buhari is to come out with
1. A STRONG COPY WORD THAT EVERY Nigerian YOUTH Believes IN.. WHICH IS TRUE FEDERALISM.

2. A CHANGE OF NAME... NOBODY KNOWs TINUBU AND BUHARI FORMER PARTY CO'S WE ALL KNOW WHAT THEY STAND FOR ACN FOR YOROUBA, ICP FOR HAUSA APGA FOR IGBO.. PDD FOR ALL... But now we see trend has changed.. APC has taken the position Pdp stand for then.. Now when u hear Pdp what comes to Ur mind is SS, SE and some part of North. West is lost entirely since their Master is the owner of APC.... So PDP SHOULD COME UP WITH A NEW NAME AND SEE PEOPLE SEE THEM AS THE PARTY FOR 2019.

3. Physical challenge should be added to see what Buhari was not able to achieve in order to narrow those things to their propaganda. Nigerians has been more wiser this past one year they can easily agree with anybody who can Point Buhari incompetence.

So they should not wait till 2019 they should Start now.. Get the primaries done within dem and get Someone earlier and give Nigerians time to hype and fantasy what the person can achieve for them if Voted into power.

Blame those that brought the system in the first place

First of all don't believe what u read on this news in totality.. .. There is oil pollution yes but believe me it doesn't affect 2% of the available farm lands in the Niger Delta
Lol some of u belive that was u go to ijaws land u start seeing oil in the Rivers lol
Please they have enough farm land and can farm

Bayelsa left there rice farming for free oil money, by his grace when am rich I will request for 200,000 heactres for large scale rice farming there, so people's eye will open
Ijaws are lazy that's just the fact.. . I know bayelsa and Rivers very well

The igbo part of Delta state that produces oil don't they farm Ans that
