If a northerner organizes a conference will you want it to be binding on southerners especially the South South ? ?

bugzbunny: You can't just dismiss the so-called "blabbing fools" like that. Call them parasites or any worse name, they still hold Nigeria in the jugular through the 19 states and Abuja political structure proliferated in the once one region north by northern soldiers, who created only 17 states in the once two regions south. Land mass is never used in any federation to derive new federating units (states) as northern dictators did. A few years ago, Yakubu Gowon who started state creation lamented in a public lecture that state creation was ultimately hijacked to create a super-political class in a part of Nigeria - of course in the far north. So far, old states cannot be merged, therefore, the CONFAB was constrained to recommend new states to balance the yawning gap in political representation between the north and south of Nigeria. Nigeria can be saved through the political restructuring done by the CONFAB. Alternative is Fiscal federalism/Resource Control. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Some of my Yoruba friends do not seem to understand yet that so long as the 19 states and Abuja political structure remains in the north; with only 17 states in the entire south, a true son of Yoruba becoming president of Nigeria is a mirage; at best, when Arewa is tired of ruling, it shall appoint another Obasanjo-like president from Yorubaland. One says this because each time the southeast asked for political restructuring, some Yoruba were the first to say that there are already too many states, so why bother to create more. Perhaps, they believed that only southeast zone is cheated by the five-states-only structure allowed by northern military dictators in the southeast area. But in truth, the five-states-only structure in the southeast area contributes a lot to deny adequate political representation to the entire south of Nigeria. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

phyllosilicate: That is glaring injustice, I think sincerely delegates should be selected based on local government areas, and population concentration. It is obvious Jonathan decided to go with the lopsided representative numbers to neutralize any northern consensus. To correct the errors in the current constitution justice has to be maintained., this should not be a chance for the south to get their way over the north. I don't believe in this stupid federal character which is another name for affirmative action, it has been used or ignored by successive governments as they wish. It reduces competence and excellence in exchange for nepotism and selection-ism 1 Like 1 Share |

millionaireman: There are already too many states, only foolish Nigerians think we should continue living this existence of separatism, exceptionalism tribalism . We need emancipation and a mode of thinkin which promoted nationalism and patriotic agendas. It took the united states less than 40 years to defeat to post civil war North / confederacy divide. I don't remember hearing southerners complaining that the capital is in Washington DC |

Demdem:U are a big liar, the North supported the process during the comfab. Can u tell me that the southern Nigeria are equally represented in the National Assembly? A norther headed the comference, and there was no agitation, so those claims. Northerners are only afraid of their backwardness and lack of skill manpower in various sectors of the nation's economy. They were deceived by the British which made lauzy as a people. Think about it. 4 Likes 1 Share |

fkaz: It is unimaginable any of the six zones that can now vote for return to regional government system after long years of the states enjoying autonomy - freedom from control by the structures of the old regions. That's why the southeast asks for additional state. But because it was difficult to carry all Nigeria along to create just only one state for the southeast, the CONFAB had to create more states to placate other groups asking for new states. The new states recommended by the CONFAB is expensive, but a difficult pain Nigeria has to endure to be freed from centrifugal forces aiming to tear it apart. |

Igbos until we stop our self imposed marginalization we can't make progress TIme has come when we have to take our destiny in our hand and fight for our right go Enough of being third class citizens but we must fight against this discrimination within our selves first am talking of the way OSU's are discriminated how can you begin to discriminate even a baby that is not born or that doesn't knows any deity? Can someone tell me why Arewa will talk for the whole north and no northerner will say anything contradictory yet if any group speaks out for us we shut it down immediately. The rule to sociopolitical freedom is simple: any kingdom that is divided against itself cannot stand and that's exactly what the northerners are doing to us using that foolish greedy bastard called Rochas as an agent of division . Even though I don't support some of his ways I still support Nnamdi KANU for his doggedness in speaking out despite being rebuffed by his own people. Finally Ojukwu is dead it is time to be each others ojukwu he won't come from the grave to fight for us again let us fight for ourselves by fighting against divisions within us. United we stand. 3 Likes |

sweetgala: Lol, only foolish Nigerians believe a country mired in controversy arising from a militarily twisted political structure can survive, talk less, develop. Continue to hide in your belief that there are already too many states. If there are, kindly pray Nigeria to merge your state to another more viable state around you. Who does not know that there are already too many states? Perhaps you assume you are more intelligent than the men and women in the CONFAB who had to resort to recommending new states. 2 Likes 1 Share |

millionaireman: To you states are just political tools, have you seen some of these states, the SE contesting for creation of another state need to examine the landmass and population and it's advantages -none. Creating another southern state would only produce more civil servants, with the number of citizens carved out from the balkanised state with local governments overlapping each other ; another governor with a security vote and national derivation etc. The number of local governments in the northern states would not diminish , the number of legislative representatives would not reduce and Nigerians problems would not go away, nor would poverty be reduced |

sweetgala: You don't even understand why people continue to demand for states in the face of the reality that many of the existing states can't even pay salaries to civil servants. The existing political structure makes Nigeria a semblance of George Orwell's "Animal Farm" It must be restructured in a democracy. Tinubu has been asking for true and fiscal federalism before APC, tell him to tell Buhari to implement true and fiscal federalism if you know how a pluralistic country like Nigeria is supposed to be run. Methinks, at one point, even Buhari preached for return of fiscal federalism to Nigeria. You are being fooled. Idonbelieve you deserve any more response from me. 1 Like 1 Share |
