LOL funny. And Putin is on another ridiculous mission to enlarge Russia as it was in USSR, he has already annexed Crimea and is intent on annexing more after they lost out their huge landmass.

I don't see any Nigerian President on an intentional suicide mission as Gorbachev. If any dissolution should happen, it will be through prolonged recession, hardship, strife, economic tension, poverty and hunger, religious intolerance, when it gets to the peak they centre will be unable to hold, it will make the regions unsatisfied with Abuja and wanting to pull out to save their ethnic people.

But that kind brave moves can only be achieved when there are passionate regional leaders in each region like Awolowo and Ojukwu. For now we have none across the regions.
Get your fact bro
That city was part of Russia from day one before the creation of USSR. grin

Exactly it was only given away due to a drunk fit. Besides they held referendum anyway to join Russian. The USA plotted the Coup in Ukraine. The Victoria Nuland helped you can hear her bugged phone calls. He's full of bad arguements today.

what has PH got to do with Ijaw? Who even told you most of Rivers state will be in SS in case of restructuring? Read and get informed


http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/10/ekweremadus-proposal-break-nigeria/

Nowhere was it stated in that link, that a large part of Rivers state will cease to be regarded as SS.

In a democratic setting, the modern way to classify or group a certain people, is to give them a referendum to choose their course, just as Southern Cameroon was given theirs by the British Govt to remain in Nigeria or join Northern Cameroon, they chose the later.

If we remain in a Democratic setting and it gets to point to determine region for Rivers indegenes, the decision will be left with their Chiefs, at best a referendum is conducted.

Bro Nooo
Lagos can't be the capital angry
It's either Ibadan or another new city but not Lagos
Lagos is already overload grin grin grin

LOL if I were Yoruba, I'll take it to Ekiti, in a bid to develop Ekiti-least developed SW region. Ibadan had had it and it developed it, Lagos is developed, so is Ogun.

If possible you can have 3 capitals in 3 different states for the 3arms of Government- it ensures more independence. That way the 3 states become limelights in outer world/becomes exposed.

[size=13pt]In Federalism, there are NO regional capitals, only state capitals.
A few states can opt to come together in order to be viable and choose wherever they want as capital.

The question is that resources from one section of the country should not be used to almost exclusively develop the north. Once, the issue of resources is sorted out, almost 99.9% of the troubles we face in Nigeria will disappear because they are all about people trying to cheat others of their resources.

Agreed the wheat from chaff will be sorted out. Foolish states like Jigawa that spend scarce resource on building 90 mosques will crumble under weight of bad decisions. The smarter states will get richer.

For SW Lagos can't be, because if is a financial and economic power house. Ogun is an industrial power house. Oyo is also really big. Osun may work well as a capital.

Religious and administrative capital in Ife? Lol. Ife lacks adequate infrastructure for that in my opinion.

That is why it should be capital. It being capital will develop it. It also has the most spiritual and cultural significance to Yoruba's.
