Afro_Blue: Hypothetical Questions ....


Will present seated governors automatically become presidents of their territory?[b][/b] No,fresh elections will be conducted! I think a confederal system of government will be adopted, where respective regions will use their resources to develop their region and send certain percentage to the central govt!


Will Delta Republic keep and manage all the oil revenue? Yes, every region will use its resources to develop their place!


Will the new nations get rid of the debt inducing central banking system ruled by the City of London? That will be sorted out with the IMF.

Name the national language of the new republics. It will be English!

What would you like to see in your respective area's new constitution?
Since the system of govt will be a confederal system, the constitution will be based on such system of govt.

How will passports and border crossings be handled? That's very easy the northern stakeholders and the southern will meet to sort out such issues

What happens to mixed tribe families?
Well that will be their problem as it won't affect the govt of the day!

Which cities will host the capital?
Lagos, Calabar or Enugu!

Will the split-up stop the looting?
Corruption can't be eradicated totally, but it would be reduce drastically. Plus, people in position of power will. Be more accountable, if you loot then we know who to meet, and we don't need to keep up with the bullshit of go to Abuja.

ololo12: Split the Goddamn country between the North and South. Then let the stakeholders in the southern region come together to map out a new plan for the co-existence of people in the southern part. It should be a true confederalism set up. Make Lagos the capital, the component states within should use their resources to develop their component states, every month donate say 40% to the center which is Lagos. Other states that don't have resources, the center will support them and encourage them to go into large scale farming. I think this will be the perfect way out... I stronly advocate for the splitting of this country.

mathskill: Reasons for breaking up
They are kidnappers
They are drug pushers-cocaine,heroine
They are importers and manufacturere of fake drugs
They are half baked graduates-buying degrees e.g GEJ and maurice iwu
They are cultists-okija shrine
They send their daughters abroad for prostitution-edo girls in italy.
They are armed robbers-Breaking into banks.
They yahoo boys,419ers.
Their bankers are thieves-adigwe,akingbola,ibru and co

otokx: This would not happen but if its possible then akwa ibom would opt to join the united niger delta, ditto cross river too.

safarigirl: on the contrary, Akwa-ibom would most likely end up in Biafra, they're closer to the East, especially the Anang. Akwa-Ibom and Delta state will be for Biafra, cos they mostly inter-marry with the Ibo, especially Abia, 7 in 10 families from these states marry with the Igbos.

duni04:
All the energy you want to use to set up a confederation and make Lagos the capital and contribute 40% of whatever, why not direct same energy into making your present leaders accountable. Do you think a new set of politicians will fall from heaven and take charge when we split? You think they'll suddenly start caring for you instead of themselves when we split? If you're too lazy to demand accountability and good governance from your representatives, senators and governors now, what makes you think you'll change when Biafra or oduduwa or arewa is actualised.
If we channel all this energy we're using to scream 'sperate' into making this country work, things may actually get better. This romantic or utopian idea of forming Biafra or Oduduwa and allocating whatever to whatever is just wishful thinking. If your leaders are not listening to you now, they won't listen to you in Biafra or whatever you want to call yourself.

amare: I totally disagree with you, the hausa people are one of the most hardworking Nigerians. Though they might not have as much natural resources as other part, but I believe what they have is enough. Take japan or germany for instance, they both don't have any significant natural resources but they are just hardworking. I honestly believe that if the hausa could have just half as much education as other Nigerians we'll be better of.
Let's looks at the other tribes: The ibo's are very industrious people but they have a singlar problem of hating on each other, and like lincoln said, a house divided cannot stand, so the ibos would probably end up messing their country up.

The Yorubas, on the other hand are lazy, hypocritical...most of them are just okay with sitting in a small office for a career, this attitude would probably not spur any significant developement, though their country would note divide. The edge they might have are the ogun indigenes, who are very industrious (mko abiola, subomi balogun, adenuga, odutola, etc) and very outspoken (soyinka, obasanjo, fela, awolowo, etc)

The middle belt...just to dependent and quiet, they may probably end up like mexico to US.

The south-south, are another difficult bunch...by far the laziest of the bunch, the difference btw the rich and the poor among them is just too much. The extent of maginalization of the masses among them by their own leaders is just too much. Their level of inferiority complex is also amazing, always blaming other people for their problem, I wonder how they can develope their country with this attitude. It would probably not last long just after the ibos.

So I believe the hausas have the easiest lot, just educate them and you're good. Pls compare an educated hausa man an other educated people...their level of intelligence and uprightness is very impressive e.g Ribadu, sanusi, el rufia, (some hausa friends I met in nysc camp, by far the smartest graduates I've met) etc

FYI: I'm not hausa, I'm a yoruba, and I'm not unlearned, on the contrary I have a 1st class. Bachelors from a top uni.

At the end of it all, we as Nigerian would only fair BEST united..."United we stand divided we fall"
