X-factoria:
This Jonathan guy is not clueless afterall because I see where all this is going.

Like it can be expected of any of the ethnic groups in the south, the Niger Delta/Ijaw people will make a tough demand (resource control up to say 80%, true federalism, a weak center etc) on the rest of the nation and opt to secede if those demands are not met (these interests naturally align with those of the SE and SW). If anyone resists them, Tompolo and Asari Dokubo will open their armoury and blow up all oil pipelines. The nation will be brought to her knees and they will have their way because other groups -SE and SW will probably make same demand. Plan B might be that the North will quickly see that this would dislodge their advantage and will beg Jonathan drop the SNC and he will demand a support for 2nd term in return.

In other words, If GEJ would not get 2015, he would clip the wings of the north forever because if the SNC succeeds, the North will lose its fraudulent advantage over other ethnic groups in Nigeria. All their rich men will lose oil blocks, oil money to the center will be too small to share and almajiri population will grow at a geometric proportion to an unmanageable size. In the light of scarce resources, a revolution that will claim almost all their elites will eventually ensure a wealth distribution sometime in the near future. By the time they see where all this is going, they will beg Jonathan to have a second term.

If GEJ's intention is genuine, perhaps it must be that he wants to make sure that the national cake that is causing tension at the center is no longer attractive so that it doesn't matter wherever the President of the country comes from. No one gets to assure the development of their areas at the expense of others by voting their son into the Presidency.

Whichever way, this guy is not clueless afterall!

akpomeme: One word "war".

Billyonaire: No true Nigerian will be against Sovereign National Conference, It is understandable that David Mark and the rest of the Legislators are afraid of losing their monthly bullion vans. We need to talk about a lot of things including:

(1) Expiration of the 100yrs pact between Northern and Southern Protectorates, if to continue or not as a nation.
If to continue then we discuss;
(2) Resource Control
(3) Better Revenue Allocation Formular
(4) States as Federating Units
(5) Indigeneship and Place of Birth Paradox - Abolition and Rights and privileges
(6) Population Fraud
(7) Born2Rule Mentality
( Oil wells re-certifications and expiry
(9) Social Security and Welfare

Every Nigerian should welcome this and Support GEJ on this.

jas_o: i'm passionate about unity of our beloved country. the circumstances has made me to look inward on what my neighbour capable to do. with situation on ground, i have made to believe that i'm sleeping on bomb powder if what am hearing or reading about SNC is real or not. The situation has gone beyond reasonable and as a result, i dont think things are under control as claimed by some fools whom believe that politice is about blood spiliting. our president should be bold to tell us if thnigs are beyong his control so that we can start planning on alternative. The situation now has gone beyond immagination and i believe we should start thinking outside the box so as to save ourselves and our family. things have gone beyond immagination my people.

manny4life:


(1) If you don't want to be represented by the thieving leaders, select men of integrity to represent your region.

(2) What is wrong with GEJ's timing? Whether he did it now or later, the SNC is needed anyway

(3) Why should separation be off the table? When groups of people can't live together peacefully in one nation, the best is they should split. Don't worry about 50% of Nigerians supporting it, your northern leaders want a split, the SE/SS want a split, it's only the SW has been a lil resistant.

(4) Who elected NASS? The electorate right? The Constitution did not fall from heaven, it was written by someone, and thus can be annulled. Whether NASS accept it or not, leave it to the people to decide, a referendum will be a good place to start, as for unconstitutionality, as long as our democratic system is a govt of the people, for the people and by the people, that's more so inconsequential.

Seconded,Thirded and Fourthed.

DivideUs: ^^^ have you noticed that the group that have been reminding us about 100yrs amalgamation issue have been the northerners, ibb only recently, majority of the north wants division, those that didn't just came on board, my dear friend did you ever stop to think this was their target all along, Frustrate him to division?

masu: Lets the snc( division in desguise) start my Idoma tribe will kukuma join our ibo brothers in the east. We know who we are and we can defrenciate our brothers from our neighbours.

To hell with northern oneness. It will shock them when Igala too will move down east.

Yorubas with their smartness should help us deceive these people well well.

russellino:

They didn't need to wait this long. Everybody, Afenifere and Ohaneze have been talking SNC for some time.

DivideUs:
