danka777 what is the meaning of the name NIGERIA?niger area abi?who renamed it river niger?the first official name of that river is river nigre(nigre is latin for black).this name was used by the so called civilised world in their maps as far back as just after alexander the great.some where along the line when nigre changed nigger the pronounciation changed to "naija" and the second "g" was cleverly removed.yes the word "nigger" had become offensive by 1914,remember that slave trade was officially abolished in 1860.the name in its spiritual form is NIGGER AREA.what is a nigger?(check for the answer in an english dictionary,na dem give us the name).our elder statesmen could not be bothered by the name because they had it at the back of their minds to break up,arguing about the name would have slowed down independence.the name you choose to call yourself is like your mission and vision statement rolled up into one. PS:mungo park called his boat Joliba(joliba is the name of river niger in mandigo or tuareg) |

Regionalism will only empower and make the corrupt leaders untouchable! Nigeria's biggest problem is corruption in large scales. The first steps should involve finding ways to eradicate it. Anyaoku doesn't know whats happening in the Naija's government at all. |

oginnade: What has Biafra got to do with the Niger Delta States? Stop associating yourselves all in the interest of oil deposit in the Niger Delta. |

It is much easy for people to deal with corrupt leaders in regionalism than federal system. Aladinn: Regionalism? *ponders deep in thought.* In any region where the likes of Alams, Ibori, Orji, Obasanjo and cronies are leaders, there can never be development. Until we address our corrupt mindsets, no economic or political ideology will work. |

musiwa1: when did delta state become part of the east.musiwa if you dont like the guys proposed map,you can present your own to us.Delta has move closer to the east with the SS,same as edo.the map is good but far from accurate.edo will move with the entire SS as a block wherever they go to even if it is to Biafra.southern kaduna will move together with plateau,nasarawa,taraba,adamawa,fct,southern gombe,southern bauchi as one block in the event of nigerias breakup.eastern kogi and benue will look southwards to Biafra to form a confederation when nigeria breaks up. We want breakup,not regionalism. |

Supported only if non igbos in south south are not included,we can do without them.ebonyi,abia,anambra,imo,enugu,delta igbos and igbo speaking area in rivers state can form a regional govt. With capital in enugu and commercial city in ph/aba or onitsha/asaba.then a farm that can feed the region in ebonyi/abia. |

The map above is correct, the states there are the states that made up the biafra region if you doubt go and ask any old man in your village or grandpapa he will tell you the real truth about that, one thing people don't realise is that south south was created out of the eastern region in order to put enemity between us so that we will start seeing each other as enemy's but I have no problem with that cause of a south south sees me an easterner as an enemy I will also see him as an enemy. From what the south south guys are saying this days the Biafra I advocate and is fighting for compromises of 6 states only which is: 1. Abia 2. Imo 3. Ebonyi 4. Enugu 6. Anambra That's it and I know that when we have the biafra of my dreams some states in the SS will also join Biafra because by then their elders will speak out and not these under age boys here shouting foul, though I will not like them to join us cause of reasons I won't say here but if they want to join us they will be welcomed. Till then say what you really know about the SS and SE and shut up if you don't know anything and for my south south brodas, go and ask your grand papa and any truthful old man in your village for the relationship between SS and SE before you reach to conclusion. We igbos have everything to survive as a nation, put oil outside, how many Igbo men o women benefits from Nigeria's Oil? We can survive without oil though we have it in plenty, within few years of Biafra's existence it will be among one of the greatest nations in the world. All I fight and pray for is for a peaceful division of Nigeria but if for any reason there is anything like war, hmmmm I rest my case. Long Live Biafra Long Live The Spirit Of Oneness In Us |

manibuds: I don't want to join issues with you cause from your point of view you are been tribalistic and I hate that a lot. Calling igbos lazy people simply means that you don't know anything about ibos so I advise you keep your mouth shut Mr man. |

Regionalism will surely work for Nigeria than disintegration. Iraq is a war torn Country for now but Kurdistan Autonomous region is still secured and prosperous, while paying its share of national bill. If its possible in Iraq, why wouldn't it work in Nigeria |

I recall that many years ago when i was younger i wrote an artcile titled"Confederation: the way forward". At that time, though the article was published, some people did not seem to agree with my line of arguement. Today, the truth is staring at us on our faces. The entity called Nigeria has been wrongly structured from the beginning, created on every element of political and economic injustice. There is need to serious satnd on the existing structure, it is not working for us. Confederation is a much better alternative. Let the country be divided into regions, naturally four regions, and each region to contribute to the funding of the centre. This way, those bullish, pot-belly thieves who parade themselves as politicians would stop seeing it as a do-or-die thing. Besides, it will promote competition at the regions, as each region should or be seen to be working hard to develop with the resources available to it. The regions in Nigeria are all endowed with natural resources, not just the oil in the south. All they need to do is to look inwards.May God help us.[size=8pt][/size] |

Regionalism rather than an outright disintegration is the solution , if you very well remember Nigeria started missing it when Gowon and Awolowo rather than operate the 4 region system created 6 states just to spite igbos, after the war the duo refused to go back to regions, Gowon wanted a strong centre while Awolowo wanted the economic center to be in the south west , today 40 years after the center is in abuja an the states are nothing but glorified Local Goverments counties except for lagos which lives off the oil company taxes headquatered in lagos and the 4 core Niger delta states which are surviving on 13 % derivation. Nigeria can do away with LGA and run a 4 or 6 region which will control every other thing except defence and foreign afairs as it is obtainable in US an UK 1 Like |

sorry gboss4sure for calling ibos lazy,i meant the hard work,patience and honesty in farming wont go down well with somebody that prefers to lie to the producers that buyers are not buying,then go to buyers and lie that producers are not producing just to create phatom surplus and scarcity to his own benefit. explain why the first coup was carried out by ibos?democracy was already in place,midwest was created by parliament,other regions would have been created too,gboss4sure do you know how many years nigeria lived in the wazobia lie,i.e if you are not huasa,then you must be ibo or yoruba,just imagine 3 parasite tribes trying to load over everybody.you said ask old men the truth about regionalisation,the real truth is in the protectorates,how many treaties did the british empire sign?na ibo sign for the whole south minus yorubas? when the hausas were in power they disected the regions,especially the eastern region to put the ibos in their place,then when OBJ came he punctured the idea that anything north of yoruba or ibo land was hausa,now we have middle belt,north west,who knows GEJ might dilute the west further. please ibos should really stop getting unduly excited when regionalisation is mentioned.the problem is nobody wants to be outlooted when this country finally disintegrates and we are taking stock of who chop pass. |

Bélla3: I wil say it again and again. NIGERIA is too big to be handled by 1 man, atleast as an African corrupt nation. So regionalisation is welcomed Nigeria is not so big to be handled by one man. We have India, China, Indonesia, and maybe Brazil. They are all bigger than Nigeria and with the exception of the Chinese politiburu, these countries have presidents with emphatic powers. . In Nigeria, It is a question of the character of the man incharge. We have a flawed political system that contineously rockets flawed characters to the highes post in the land. The powerful antics of the center gaurds again changes needed to stop this. . This fellows idea is good in as much as it will reduce the destructive ethnic competition for scarce resources at the center which breeds corruption, . . When REAL power is localised in a multi-ethnic federation, folks start taking responsibility for their lives. It may lead to healthy competitions between the regions too. |
