I hope thos useless rebranding Nigeria people will stop that their silly work now huh?, i hate my country

Ezeachi, your view of the Nigeria solution may have congealed from your past experience as I have read.
But I assure you that if free and fair elections were allowed to run in Nigeria for two just terms you will see the advent of different parties coming to power in the various states (not PDP hijacking the whole country) and the likes of Fashola will ascend in the various parties through this fair process largely due to competition 'cos people have choices.

They know that if this happens corruption will greatly wither hence they won't let that happen.

If only GEJ isn't to run but agrees to conduct a proper election,  PDP will be booted out for progressives.

@Rousseau
Great point; but anything is better than what these thieves are feeding us.
You do not want to see how our leaders and their families are spend our money, both in Nigeria and overseas. It is ridiculous and unGodly.
Again, the past, current and future leaders are determined to suck this nation and all Nigerians dry till the end of time. Something drastic must happen to get our country back from these evils.

Facts, with all money generated from Oil, our country is now a great example of a hopeless land, leaders are thieves, nothing is working, our laws are nothing but expensive decorations. I think with Military intervention/sensible conditions we have nothing to lose at this point.

presido1:

Too many if(s). As in Nigeria one if will take one millennium to come to reality. So it will take like 300 to 400 years for us to have a free and fair election in this contraption called Nigeria. Nigeria as it is, is not working the earlier we face the reality the better for you, me and our children. Attacking Eziachi or any other person that suggest a solution is not the way.

xterra2:

NO but seriously , 3 bomb blast in a week ( not 7 actually cause jos was 5 ) let me just say 3
in jos
Bayelsa
Abuja

And the worst thing is that the police are not capable of investigating it and nothing would be done at the end
Vision 20 2020 lets go

 Even the United Kingdom with over 800 years of democracy recognised that there cultural and identity differences between the English, Scottish. Welch and Northern Irish nations that make up the Kingdom, hence in 1997 they devolved power from London to this nations so that everybody can still do their own thing, the way they see fit and maintain a sense of belonging.
Nigeria the way I see it, is like a business enterprise of few people, while the rest is there to make up the numbers or trying to join the enterprise if possible and once they are in, they are okay. So it doesn’t matter if you bring in a Saint Paul to rule Nigeria in a free and fair election, because he will still fail due to the structure that is crooked, deceptive and designed not to work from the start.

Eziachi:

Free and fair elections do not guarantee good leaders. And you really think that the owner of the PLC called Nigeria will allow a free and fair election?  It is like asking a pick pocket to support people to queue up in an orderly manner, when you know that a pick pocket thrives in a disorderly environment.  Nigeria is not the only country with corrupt leaders but still those countries will still boast of the most simply basic need (go across in Cameroon). The problem emanates from its foundation and structure, so there is no point painting the house, furnishing it with gold and silver without first addressing faulty foundation, it will never be safe.
I am talking based on experience, I had seen it all with Nigeria, that the only option left is for people to go their separate ways and solve their own problem the way they sees fit, on their own terms, their own pace. Nigeria is too big a nation, in a third world environment with many distinctive ethnic nations to be governed from one source. If you can’t be on your own as most my Yoruba friends seems to show in their attitude, then with open eyes and ears negotiate the kind of marriage that suits you with anyone you find desirable, unlike Nigerian arranged marriage.

LRNZH:

Ezeachi, I like your British power devolvement example.

Remember Britain had become a mature democracy with little or no corruption in its polity and they decided to decentralise afterwards in 1997.

Nigeria is not even a democracy yet in the true sense of the word (unless you have been voting for PDP since 1999).

Before we consider separation or military intervention , we need to establish two things:

1. Ensure that peoples vote count, which will assist in bringing credible leaders into power and leading to 2. massively reducing corruption.

Even considering separation will take a free and fair referendum (voting process), a process we don't even have yet.

Also separation is not the same as decentralisation. Decentralisation is not a bad option in my opinion.

Toaskarity:

you are the only one that sees and understand clearly.I wish you are my proffessor or our leader,i love all your post.

goggs:

the problem will not likely be solved with division if we have selfish leaders. Look at some states with relatively fantastic allocations but terrible mismanagement, look at others will less and seroius development going on. While separation may sound appealing, its not the magic wand to solve our problems. Its an attractive option I am gravitating towards but I know unless fundamental changes are effected our resultant countries or regions can be as small as Liberia and yet be killing ourselves or be as big and complex as South africa and yet be stable and prosperous. THERE IS NO MAGIC BULLET

The problem with Jonathan is that from day one of assuming office as the President, he did not pull up his big boy pants and show the elite class that their is a new cherrif in town. Instead he continue to appease them and bow his head just like he use to as their errand boy. These people did not waste any time in twisting and molding him as they're pleased. Nigeria is in the same state it is now as during the leadership vaccum created by UMYA sickness. This President is just assuming the name nothing more, those in the higher rank in PDP are in charge of what should be in the country.

If for ethnic reason this man is allow/elected to continue in office God knows we are in for a terrible ending as no one from the top respect the man.

c hw naija is proving d united states right.

There is a magic bullet and its called true federalism. It is wise for every Nigerian to learn what it means.

Eziachi:

If you read what I said carefully I was also emphasising the importance of a free and fair election, but a productive democracy is not all about just elections and its harvest. Some are now even calling ACN and Buhari but they forgot that those people will rule with the same Nigeria of 36 unsustainable state governments and God know how many local governments.  All these were created to create political positions and get one over one ethnic nation and take lion share of oil money called revenue allocation and they are still planning to create even more states.

I doesn’t matter whose party or person you bring it, they will still rule with a constitution, no one understands, or no one knew the real author but was designed for the benefit of those the authored it. Nigeria is place where a navy can base in the desert without a blink of an eye because the person that sited it comes from the desert but forgot that ship sail in the waters and that is not about to change tomorrow, rather it is getting worse.

Jonathan is a good man, a great Nigeria, but not the right man for the job.

We need a leader that can not be intimidated by anyone on this planet, a leader that can make his own decision, a leader that completely understands the importance of unity, a leader that has records of great accomplishments, a leader that is tough like a dragon, a leader that can clearly express himself and more than anything else, a leader that has a complete respect of all Nigerians.
Jonathan is not this leader; For the love of God, Mr president should step down immediately!
