This is not about jonathan this is about a failed structure called nigeria,apart from one man that tried to make a change (muhammed) every other administration can effectively be regarded as a failure an SNC is like a national soul searching for nigeria to move forward as a nation,nigeria has never been healthy infact if nigeria were a human being it would be a slowpoke no porn intended,everything is wrong there is nothing that can be salvaged nigeria from sports to anything you want to think of is suffering from national leukaemia,HIV,malnutrition and all what-not only this time there is a possible cure,an SNC is the solution if a man lives to the point in his life where nothing is working he takes a break and looks inward to find out what is wrong,another election will not solve our problem,impeachment will not,if someone else comes in a "boko haram" from another region will arise.I know I should not say this but pls forgive my generalisation EVERYONE IN THE CURRENT NIGERIAN POLITICAL SPACE IS A PROBLEM we need all of them to leave so we can wipe the slate clean and start all over,most of our kings and elite need to be in jail so we can move forward they are a liability to society and are of no 21st century importance my opinion, there is no siding with north,east,west and south because we have all combined to produce the worst breed and strings of politicians the world has ever known. I will apologise for these words once again but I have to say them ANYONE STANDIND IN THE WAY OF SNC IS AN ENEMY OF NIGERIANS AND DESERVES TO DIE once again am sorry for my choice of words

greateros:

poster u r advised to apologize for that mistake before it becomes unforgivable!

I have apologised ooooo,I was going to list Jmaine but mistakenly typed Demdem.

When GEJ is stil claiming the president of FRN ,can't he speak,wonder whypeople have to speak for him,he's falled moi 2 hands.

Rhino.5dm:
How about you retaliate for the numbers of ibos being constantly killed like Christmas goat in the north? or do you need statistics to that effects?

oh, until they attack the ijaws before you roll out your Odinegwe, right? this early. morning kai kai don go destroy your brain.

Wat is ur problem wit his post. Did he tell u he is nt aware,every ethnic group are affected in d bombin. D dude waz jst tryin to correct someone.

captainbraide: THE IJAWS DONT NEED THE IGBOS TO DRIVE HOME THIER POINTS.WE ARE VERY ABLE TO DO IT ON OUR OWN.SO THE IGBO'S SHOULD NOT THINK WE HAVE THEM IN MIND TO ASSIST US.BUT,YOU KNOW IGBO MAN NOW ANYWHERE "EGO"DEY,THAT IS WHERE THEIR LIFE IS.THEY CAN EVEN CLEAN YOUR BUM BUM

IF NOTHING ELSE HISTORY IS NOW BEARING THE IGBOS WITNESS.THE IGBOS DIED BECOS OF THIS SNC THEN AND THE SOUTH-SOUTH STOOD ASIDE AND ENJOYED THEIR ABANDONED PROPERTIES.YOU HAVE THE IMPUDENCE TO SAY THEY(IGBOS) LIKE MONEY,YES,I DON'T BLAME THEM THEY STRUGGLED FROM NOTHING AFTER THE BIAFRAN WAR AND ARE STILL STRUGGLING EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE KILLED,ENVIED AND ABUSED BY ALL OTHER TRIBES IN THIS COUNTRY.THE IGBOS HAVE PAID THEIR DUE CONCERNING THIS COUNTRY LET OTHER TRIBES TRY.

chucky234: What a pointer,hmmm scratching my head profusely.
If a man has defended GEJ from within can put sentiment aside to admit that our dear president has failed Nigerians then what will be faith of Billyonaire,Demdem,Ifihearam,Dedeike,Explorer,Kutchs,Karl max who has only defended GEJ from satellite pits.
I am sure they will still put a blind fight to this,often wonder if they were born blind and only uses their inner senses to read and type.
Good one from Asari, the 40 laptops will dumbly deviate from the point raised then turn it into ethnic war on NL.

I'm sure you woke up on the wrong side. Thank your stars that i'm observing 3days tolerance. I still can't imagine, you sat down, thought of what to type as comment and you put this outright tosh of a content up? I think NL needs a dislike button for your kinds.

Honestly speaking! I don't see Gej as a leader truly,a leader dat can't hav charge nd control of tough situation as a result of fear doesn't worth being in a leadership position,most especially in a country like nigeria. Leadership is not about born againism dat Gej is applying. We need action, there are leaders in d north,both political nd traditional,let all borders dat lead to other places like ninja nd some other terrorist neighbouring countries be shot down nd strictly mounted by soldiers. Bomb where there is need for,the Bible says right from d days of john d baptist heaven suffereth violence nd violence take it by force. Wat has to b done must be done.

centje:
Are u sure u no nigerian definition of niger delta or d states that constitute niger delta? May be u shuld check it up and be sure b4 u relpy

Please don't be confused with the terms OIL PRODUCING STATES OR REGION and THE NIGER DELTA proper

The "war" has been on a long time between southerners,especially on nairaland. Oh well, what do I know..smh.

People will always try and misrepresent history.The simplest but not necessarily the most accurate reason why the Biafra war happened can be traced to The Nigerian Army's intervention in 1966 ;the first coup,the counter coup and the genocide of Igbos in the North the Secession of Biafra and the rejection of the Secession by Nigeria.

The war was by and large an "Internal Army" affair with wider consequences for every one. A breakdown of military discipline from which we may never recover. It is wrong to suggest that the war was somehow about Nigeria's structure. It was a consequence of personal/ethnic struggle within the Nigerian Army.
The proper way to determine structure is by Negotiations such as happened in colonial times or subsequent Constituent Assemblies.

Nigeria's Structure prior to military intervention was negotiated and accepted without coercion by Northern,Eastern and Western leaders one may argue about whether minorities were carried along.

Neither Ojukwu,Gowon nor any other military person had the mandate to negotiate on behalf of their regions when recognized leaders were alive at the time.

Next time try and get ur history right. Though Igbos were the majority in the Biafran struggle, it was not only igbos that fought for what Biafra stood for. All the peoples of the former Eastern region and even some from the west paid the supreme price for the struggle. You might not have lost a family in the war, but there are former Biafrans (Non Igbos) that equally lost everything they've got and you know what? They never gave up but fought till the end. They are the real men and women of honour cos they had the chance to betray and give up but they never did.

geeez: quite agree with Dokubo that we should convene a Sovereign National Conference but my question is, how is the current National Assembly constituted? Won't the SNC also be congregated in the same manner the NASS is and what difference would their deliberations make.

I think what we need is a referendum where ordinary Nigerians would be able to determine issues that critically affect them.

There's no much difference b/w d NASS we have now n SNC afterall who n who 'll b the delegates 4d SNC?
Referendum is the key bro.

Daddi:

Referendum is the key bro.

There is a key difference.The proportion of representation given to the North is 19 states 57 senators and a lot more representativess.
This was determined by the military who were Northerners too.If people want to question this arrangement and request the northerners give up this advantage they will just say no.There is no peaceful way of negotiating that. In a sovereign conference that principle of superior number would definitely be challenged and the only possible solution is some form of Confederation or a break up.
Most people find it hard to accept why so much power is given to the North in terms of power to block constitutional changes and also to take the lion share of oil revenues if you exclude derivation.
That can never be changed with the current numbers in the NASS

Maybe,but those who fought for biafra were lesser than those who didn't. And they had no problem joining their victorious brothers who fought for nigeria after the war. Even today,most of them are anti igbo/biafra.
We owe them nada. They are on their own.

That's my point exactly,one Nigeria was built on the blood of millions of igbo's,while the minorities laughed at our post war misery,they celebrated and still celebrates adaka boro and saro wiwa,two elements that fought against biafra,doesn't that tell u their stance?

They are only complaining now,because they have gotten greedy,they have forgotten that their heroes adaka and saro,willingly gave this crude oil to the north in the spirit of fighting against their imaginary enemies,the igbos. Ochiatogbugom! I can't wait for them to get crushed by their former allys...,who knows,we might just sit on the fence or make a deal with the north to share those oil wells 50-50,in exchange for our support.

I know about the country called Nigeria
I know it is suppose to be headed by a President and C-in-C
I also know about Ogoniland, a new autonomous country entity within Nigeria
I know anybody can walk through the Nigerian porous border with any ammunition
I know there is nothing that identifies who a Nigerian is
I know parts of Nigeria is blessed with oil and the other parts depend on sharing oil proceeds
I know the process of sharing oil proceed is called economy in Nigeria
I also know that the process of protecting the sharing of oil proceeds is called patriotism
I know Nigeria does not really exist in the heart of Nigerians
I know corruption is very lucrative in Nigeria and it attracts no punishment
I know that Nigeria state is currently witnessing a Protest/Riot/Jihad/Riot Religious/Terrorist attack/war
What I don’t know is at what point a country can be declared failed. I need help!

I believe that if IBB and Buhari join voices to ask boko haram to stop, Boko haram will stop.
They haven't just said it and I don't think they want to.
you are either here or there. #simplefact

But those recognized leaders can serve under gowon that lack their mandate?Boko haram will force all of us to live with the truth.

onatisi:
the problem ith gej is that he is afraid and scared of taking decisions especially tough ones which are risky and ppl like that arent fit to rule,when obama gave the go ahead for the mission to kill bin laden it was a gamble they could have failed and lost all their soldiers but been a leader he knew he had to make a tough one,gej is too weak and scared of what pppl will say if he makes a tough decisions,obj made some tough decisions some worked well some didnt but ar least he took them,
just like ibb said history will forgive you for making a wrong decision but history will never forgive u for not taking a decision at all

he is weak keh? Do u know how much top officials are stealing? D truth of d matter is dat he doesn't care abt dis country. Look @ d way pple fought just for him to be a president he just came into power nd is doing nothing. Take obama for example some pple never wanted him to rule usa but he came in nd cleared their doubts. Our own is just traveling out nd sending troops to protect other countries wen there is No peace here

BH started from politics nd entered into religion. Each you will hear on news dat police knows d sponsors of BH after 1 week d case will die. GEJ knows what is going on but doesn't want to stop d problem

God save Nigeria, God save Nigerians

have you guys forgotten abt atiku? He said during d pdp primaries dat if he doesn't win he is going to mke nigeria a war zone. If you know how much they hate christians in the north you would be surprise

excondido: One of Gej staunch supporter admitting to the laxity of a supposed c in c with all the power the constitution larvishly accrue to him yet wobbling at the basic duties of govt.
Is very unfortunate we had to contend with this dillema becos our presidents cluelessness is never ending.

Short up! Who told you Asari has been GEJ's supporter? Asari has made himself clear a very long time ago that he supports the Niger Delta struggle and presidency and not GEJ as a person. Asara is a man of integrity and no bodys friend. He is ever ready to pick up his arms and enter the forest at any point in time. Not like the Farouks in the national assembly that lives on bribe.

Soon some useless ppl will come here to defend GEJ blindly. Gej has failed and there's no two ways to go about it.

kabba7:
That Dokubo of a fellow is sick in the head

I am appealing to his people to quickly sick for a good juju man for him before he goes full mad.
So he is just wakingup to the fact that GEJ has FAILED Woefully For Asari to beat drum of WAR is suicidal and he knows that for sure . Those blaming IBB & Buhari for that clueless Jonathans failures are pure mischief makers he failed because he is a failure and not because of anybody !

@Kabba if Asari is sick then you are insane. At least he is saying what he will do instead of hiding in the shadow of religion to kill women and children.

Rapmoney: We must escort Jonathan to Otuoke come 2015 with two pairs of shoes

pazienza:

Asari,do not call igbos again. You lots fought for one Nigeria,you guys have to fight for your seccession alone. The igboman would just sit and watch you guys get roasted by Nigeria you created,and hopefully this time around,we would get to share the oil blocks with the aboki. Fight all you want,but just know that u are on your own.

Woe betide any silly igboman that will get us involved with the mess going on in the utopian state of niger delta,nonsense.

u wont fight but sitdown and watch so that at the end you people will come back and claim aboundant property from niger delta, abi?
