Aren't we all tried of all these problems, militancy today, terrorism and Boko Haram tomorrow. These problems always appear for a reason, they are not just there. Why can't Nigerians come together and ask ourselves what the problem really is? Why is everybody complacent, docile and unconcerned about the national question. Everybody thinks corruption is Nigeria's problem.

The national question is a bigger problem than corruption. How can we live together and share governmental responsibilities without much problems? That is the question.

You voted Buhari to fight corruption. OK, he's fighting corruption but isn't there a bigger problem facing the country now? Militants have reduced government revenues by a quarter all because of what? The NATIONAL QUESTION!!!

Let Nigerians continue to act like they don't care, that we are one fantastically united country and that corruption is our major problem. Militants, Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram will keep teaching y'all a lesson.

And what stopped GEJ from implementing it? Waiting for Messiah shey?

Kgdavid:
I have always wondered where the educated youth of the Niger Delta are. The armed struggle alone cannot yield the desired results. What we need is for the intelligentsia to quit being so silent, unite and let our voice be heard. We need a new breed of men like Ken Saro Wiwa, who can wage war with the pen. I am astounded and astonished when i meet Niger Delta youth who are nonchalant about the cause. This is because there is a leadership failure.

We also need a viable plan. True federalism is a much more realistic short term goal than sovereignty and it is a goal that is shared by most of the regions in Nigeria. This is something to protest about, not the removal of fuel subsidies!

Firefire:


Jonathan supervised the National Conference, let Buhary implement the recommendations. Thank you.

Ikwerreboy:
Yes oooooh Proudly Niger delta.

Yoruba youths go hold ur Elites seems like u guys wud remain wit the hausa fulanis. well no p as long as Niger delta leaves wu ever dat wants to remain in Nigeria is free

demslayerrz:


You must be primary 4 student to spew the trash above. Did you just say Yoruba have no resources to control? Seun should do something about these ignorant kids polluting this forum. This is serious.

cktheluckyman:


So the SS and the SE should fall down and kisss his ass and apologize for voting for GEJ? Well we shall see how he will rule effectively if he continues like this.What you are seeing from the NDA is the Genesis,by the time we get to Malachi,you will know

...exactly...Lagos state major source of income has bin from taxes...do they share it with other states ? I guess NO, rather she uses it to developed her state...in the Niger delta, OIL is out major source of revenue...federal government and Hausa/Yoruba oil block owners we the Niger deltans say AWAY... we no want again Na by force ?.... by the way, NIger delta has never sold any of her oil block... we want them back, go and get your money from who ever you paid to

GWMI:
my dear nobody is crying forgiveness here.Buhari is a tribalistic person.my question is, would all this have happened if Buhari have given out his appointments fairly?NO.Rather he choose to call the minorities 5% that is an insult.Buhari is forever to blame for any problem Nigeria is going through today.I promise you no amount of persuading will calm this boys down.Buhari have gone to his limit he must RESIGN for peace to reign in Nigeria.Thanks.

Faith111:


The Primary 4 Pupil (Not Studen) wonders why a group of people who have so much to control still insists on living in the failed Marriage called Nigeria.
Stop the Hate and let those that want regionalism have it. Stop the bitterness and think more about how you can positively manage your resources.
Thanks

cktheluckyman:
Chai!! See what Buhari brought upon himself!! His stupidity led him to wake up a sleeping tiger and now we have to deal with this for the next 3 years

EbiClems:
Wisdom of God is light! All our past leaders and present from every tribe are fake. See the problem that they have created in the niger delta. In a normal society the place that produce the resource is given more attension in terms of social amenities. Nigeria has been ruled by greedy,visionless,unpatriotic leaders. Nigeria is a state not a nation, u can quote me!

[s]As you can see they had plans of implementing same, just before the elections. A new government is in power and so should pick up from where they stopped.

GWMI:
what time was Goodluck having to implement it?

989900B:


Why are Rivers state, Ondo state, Cross river, and Akwa Ibom not like Bayelsa and Delta?

Bayelsa's governor already answered first part of the question.

The second part is, their leaders are nothing but crooks too.

GWMI:
start thinking about a fictional problem when there are non.I ask again which tribe among the Niger Delta tribe is fairing well under Buhari?None.Thinking about a division among the niger delta tribes to penetrate Buhari's divide and rule policies is a waste.Thanks.

Faith111:


Secretly? Wait a minute. You are seriously contradicting what you guys openly and selfishly yearn for 'A so-called United Nation'
If you guys long for Regionalism, then why the Hate?
On the other hand we don't need your support cos you guys are as unstable as the Waters.
Openly for A and Secretly for B.

I don't hate any Tribe cos I'm related to over 5 tribes in Nigeria including Yoruba.
Look through my posts and you'll find out that I've never said anything odd about the Yorubas.
But i hate Insincere and Insensitive people.
If the Yorubas were the ones that had oil in their land, everyone would have had to buy tickets daily in other to use crude products like petrol aside the actual cost.

What is a sovereign state?

- In international law, a sovereign state is a nonphysical juridical entity that is represented by one centralized government that has sovereignty over a geographic area.

-International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population, defined territory, one government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other sovereign states.

-It is also normally understood that a sovereign state is neither dependent on nor subjected to any other power or state.

Issues:

- They want install their people and control our resources. E.g Jonathan would be their Prime Minister or President
- MNC's would be paying them taxes and royalties, there would be lots of cash available to them.
- They would still not be richer. Their predicaments would not improve. Even pollutions would increase thereby degrading their natural sources of livelihood.
- Issues of legitimacy would arise and the Western powers would do the needful.
- Nigeria and its Army would deal with them accordingly in line with global practise.
- Rise in militancy is expected in the region various groups would emerge for example Bini's, Efik, Esan, Ibibio, Igbo, Annang, Oron, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Yoruba, Isoko, Urhobo, Ukwuani, Kalabari and Ogoni would join the fray.
- Economically, our Naira would still be a unifying currency for Nigeria and the so called sovereign state.
- My brothers from the South East would be divided along the lines of joining or remaining in one Nigeria

What nonsense

Goke7:


GEJ was not fair in his appointments either and he appealed to the yoruba obas that he will rectify it if voted back into office so all this talk of PMB not fair in his appointments is all bullshit, let's stop crying when things don't go our way. The yorubas felt marginalized under GEJ and never destroyed Govt properties to register their grievances. And if you think PMB insulted, GEJ and his wife insulted lots of folks but you guys have forgotten

Omonigeriarere:
[/s]

"I am the President of Nigeria now" Oya take my statement and implement it. Despite being an ineffectual buffon, do you think he would have chose not to implement it if it is easy to implement the recomendation?

Everybody can talk: action is needed.

Goke7:


sorry, i do not live off oil, those who told you that everybody in Nigeria lives on oil are your greatest enemies. If you say your oil is feeding greedy politicians, you may be right but that all Nigerians live on oil, chai, you have been lied to.

sammhi:

yes it should..but has it? no
some are exploiting the larger entity and making others feel unwanted..
GEJ handed over to you peacefully and all PmB is doing is to find way to jail him...which president has ever run a corrupt free regime? so why limit it to his own alone..
If PmB is sincere then let him probe from1984 to 2015..that is it..
all the northern guys that stole Moni whilst in helm of affair are going about free while those of ND are the thieves ...ok nao
the injustice ia putrefying

Beremx:
stop typing Buhari incorrectly if you must quote me.

So there's was no time for implementation before Jonathan left office?

NavierStokes:


There was only one way to find out, his second term but that's by the way.
Bringing it to the FEC showed the government was treating the CONFAB report with the seriousness that it deserves. In the article I posted they already outlined the strategy or roadmap they would have followed to achieve implementation.
Let the current government continue from where they stopped.
And my friend it's a little rude cancelling other people's comments or don't you think so?

Goke7:


The SE and SS declared public hatred for PMB during the elections campaign last year, PMB is human like everyone of us, if any group display openly their hatred for you, it will take you time to get over it easily. The SE and SS also added insult to injury by telling PMB and the whole world openly that they had no regrets supporting Jona.

The SE and SS lack political tact, the northerners who supported Jonathan all through lay low after the elections and started reaching out diplomatically to PMB, even the northerners in PDP presently are always tactful when dealing with PMB. Politics is a game and it could go either way. When its not in your side, you act diplomatically and build bridges. Our brothers across the Niger must learn and respect others even when they do not agree politically. PMB will complete his tenure and when another election time comes, every region will have their opportunity again to show their political prowess. We should stop being cry babies.

wink2015:
[size=18pt]Hausa, Yoruba, Ibo and the rest of the non oil producing states start planning for Agriculture. This is not the post 1980's and post 1990 when the babangida, abacha etc were having a free day feasting on petro-dollar that is not produce in their own region.

Buhari do not mistake the militant this youth do not have the patience of the Obafemi Awolowo, Zik, or Sauduana. They are prepared to unleach mainhelm on the Nigerian economy.[/size]
