Femi Fani-Kayode says the problem in Nigeria is that some people believe they ought to have total power all the time. He starts by disagreeing with Clarke who said soldiers on the streets of Lagos wasn't a big deal.https://twitter.com/Channels_TV/status/166475435767644160 |

alj harem: I throw only one challenge at the advocates of SNC—let them come out and tell us about its entire ramifications. We need to be properly educated on how it is going to be organised. These are the questions that I have. One, how would the representation be done? Would it be based on states, councils, wards, ethnic groups or dialects? Two, how would the seats be allocated? Would it be equal representation no matter the population of any group? Three, how would representatives emerge—through election or selection? Four, how would decisions be taken? Would every group be entitled to just one vote? Or would the population of each group determine the number of representatives? Why am I asking these questions? From my simple reading of the make-up of Nigeria, the odds are not in favour of the original agitators of SNC. If representation is going to be by states, there are more states up North than down South—and I’m even assuming all Southern states want to be in one country together or want to vote in one direction. If it is ethnic group by ethnic group, there are possibly 200 ethnic groups up North and 50 down South. Again, that is a bit tricky at the end of the day. If it is council by council, there are far more councils in the North. I think there is also an assumption that the interests of every group in the same region align. I don’t think so. Resource control, for instance, is a zero-sum game: my gain is your loss. If oil-producing states gain an additional 1 per cent, the rest of Nigeria loses 1 per cent. At least 10 of the 17 Southern states will die if oil money is denied them today. Same for the North. That is why I think the simplest part of the job is to convene the conference; the most difficult part would be how final, binding, irrevocable and globally acceptable decisions can be reached within the current geo-political demography realities. I want to be educated on this |
