The thick wave of disintegration has long spread through the foundations of Nigeria. It did not begin today. That is not to exonerate GEJ from the part he is currently playing....or will likely play....if he fails to summon courage and do what is right. |

What's this lawyer talking about? I don't see anything wrong in what the Bayelsa state government has done (new flag and anthem). Is Nigeria not a Federation? Is a state within the Federation not entitled to its seal, flag and anthem? I think more states should begin to demand for what they are entitled to under this federal arrangement, from true political federalism to true fiscal federalism. Also, if we must take it further, shouldn't a state or part of a state have the right to leave a country and stand alone or join another country? Shouldn't this be the ultimate expression of the fundamental human right of freedom of association? Shouldn't a democratic constitution spell out the conditions to be met for part of a country that wants to leave or for another state in another country that wants to join the country? Why can't there be a constitutional right of secession? These are some of the fundamental questions which are beginning to stare us all in the face. Every part of Nigeria is complaining of marginalization or one thing or the other. Is any part of Nigeria fulfilled or happy with the union? Is it not high time we addressed the basis of togetherness or express that ultimate freedom of association? 6 Likes |

How does Bayelsa adopting their own flag translates to Separation? And why shouldn't Ogoni try to break fromt his cesspits called nigeria? Atleast the declaration woke this greedy, uncaring bastard from their corruption dream. See them trying to clean Ogoniland after declaration. |

I really don't know if the constitutional makes the provision for a state to have a flag or any item that's typical of a state(country). isn't there any lawyer or constitution aficionado who can enlighten us on what the constitution thinks about the action of Bayelsa state. |
Re: Bayelsa New Flag: Jonathan Must Speak - Lawyers by authenticblack: 4:09pm On Aug 10, 2012 |
Why do we complain about nothing,a state want their flag,anthem and logo,what is the big deal.Lagos state has it all and make laws that did not tally with Fed laws,we complained and was told to leave the state if we can't comply.Let Bayesans be and let Niger delta be |

This is not news abeg! Just goes to show that every Dickk, Dickky and Dicktaker can be conferred with the title of SAN without knowing squat! What's a flag got to do with separation, when we are a Federal system? Also I am all for ignoring that blood Diigbo, replying him will give him credibilty and that's what GEJ can't afford now. Better to arrange one road accident for him. |

This is the beginning of true federalism and a new Nigeria. Nigerians should not be afraid of disintegration, because Nigeria can never disintegrate. Soonest, every state will begin to decide their own future and destiny. The north should get ready on how to carry their own cross. Before 2015 Nigerians will see a new kind of Nigeria, I told you guys before that GEJ has a game plan and big surprise for all Nigerians, especially the north. |

afam4eva: I really don't know if the constitutional makes the provision for a state to have a flag or any item that's typical of a state(country). isn't there any lawyer or constitution aficionado who can enlighten us on what the constitution thinks about the action of Bayelsa state. Lawyers will argue back and forth and confuse everybody at the end of the day. Let's keep it simple. A federating unit (in this case, Bayelsa) wants to assert its sovereignty which does not run contrary to that of another federating unit. The people of Bayelsa want their own seal and anthem without discarding the Nigerian anthem and flag, how does that amount to separation? Why are people looking for trouble where there is none? By the way, how come the federating units in the first republic all had their flags and seals? If Nigeria must remain as one, true federalism (political and fiscal) is the answer. Let the centre (federal goverment) be as weak and unattractive as possible and only be in charge of common issues [/b]like external defence, immigration, customs, central banking, foreign affairs, federal policing, possibly supreme court, etc. The federating units (states or regions) [b]should control their resources and contribute like 10-12% to the centre for the running of these common issues. The federal government exists because the states exist and not the other way round. Let this monthly 'begging' visits to Abuja in the name of lazily sharing federal allocations stop. Let each state/region work hard for its money. Let any state/region that wants to leave be free to leave. Let each state be free to practice Sharia if it wants. People should be free to have what they want if it is the wish of the majority. This is the essence of democracy. Let's demystify all these things. 7 Likes |

First,it was Biafra Flag replacing Nigerian Flag @ London now It is Bayelsan Flag. Lagos and Ondo already have their own flag. Oh God I pray thee let it come fast!!!. Let the Northern parasites go and concentrate on their Agriculture, Yorubas their OIL/Industry and Education, Igbos their Oil and Industrialization/Trade, then the Niger delta Republic, their God given Oil which the Hausas have been raping them of.......... 2 Likes |

The presido would simply say "I don't give a damn". Why ask for his comment when we already know what he'd say? |
