Which kain yeye Federalism?

0monnakoda:

Can you give an example where this occurs in practice and how is it different from the federalism that we have .
I am sorry but it seems to me that we already have "regionalism" . We have states that to quote you are " granted certain degrees of governance and control as the constitution dictates".
So from your definition we are practising regionalism already

St_Black:

But I thought you would be stu*pid enough to give me another of your mo'ronic replies, Uhn?

DerideGull:


Above crap is one of ills associated with the so-called “free education” Awolowo introduced in western region of Nigeria. I am not surprised that the poster is still wallowing foolishly on propaganda and innuendoes spearheaded by the news media houses based in western region in 1967 to cover silly acts of the citizens of the region.

It will pay you enough dividends to know your god in Nowa Omogiu, one of the idiotic exponents of the crap surrounding the record "ewu na ebe akwa" and alleged taunting”, has been shamed on the issue. The artist of the record was not even Igbo person talk less of the act of taunting. It is silly to hear and see most southern Nigerians, baring Biafrans, talk about idiotic nature of Nigeria and wish it never existed. I have always referred such goons to their forebears who fought Biafrans to erect a cesspit called Nigeria.

Good morning ma. Did you sleep well How was your nite

St_Black:

Canada is a VERY good example of a country that practices regionalism. The different provinces of Quebec, Ontario, etc have their different form of governance BUT ALL their governments are coordinated by the central.

Nigeria's case is different. Here, the FG is overall LORD. It tells any state what is & what is not , whether absolutely ineffective/no resistance to its decision.

...but in regionalism, once the confines of autonomy has been dictated in the constitution, no amount of power can make the FG manipulate unless such region gives in.

Do you understand?

DerideGull:

I guess your imbecilic posts will engender a kind or two.

naijababe:

No need for this kain sarcasm, i am just asking you how you came to the conclusion that Nigeria practises Federalism?

0monnakoda:
I have advised you to cease your verbose verbigerations and enjoy your dotage in peace. Your flatulent eruptions are disruptive,foul and embarrassing

0monnakoda: There is autonomy in our constitution . I m not sure that you have a clear idea what you are advocating and your Regionalism cry sounds more like sloganeering.

Lagos State has a lot of autonomy. The issue is not just enshrining autonomy in the constitution but in the strength of our institutions e.g Obasanjo's decision to withhold the allocation from Lagos State was unconstitutional but it still happened.
Based on your definition ,we are practising regionlism already. We need to strengthen it and we can always debate for more or less autonomy but it is still regionalism

DerideGull:

Omokanda

I thought you were a character endowed with average intellect but your actions on this forum kept proving me wrong. For umpteenth time, the artist of the record dobbed “ewu na ebe akwa” was not Igbo, olodo.

St_Black:

Are there confines of autonomy for states exclusive to the central's authority?

PLS ANSWER

DendeIku I thought you were dead and buried ? So Ewu na ebe akwa is a fuji song? My surprisation

0monnakoda: Not quite sure about this syntactic construction but if you are asking whether states are totally autonomous of course the answer is no.If they were they would be sovereign nations

femogbangba:

what I think Black is alluding to is a political structure where there is a greater level of autonomy i.e creation of State police, a greater control of resources etc

You posited another red flag on Awolowo’s free educational system in western region of Nigeria. Fuji is a tribally bent music. While “ewu na ebe akwa” is none tribally bent music but highlife. Though sang in Igbo language, it was not thoughtful product of Igbo man, olodo. You are going from bad to worse.

0monnakoda:
I know I am teasing him. These young lads need to learn clarity of thought and expression and avoid sloppiness we have to hold our people to the highest standards

St_Black:

Na wa ooooo. Omo Yooba.!

You actually arent aware of my age NOR never seen me before 'cos i dont understand why such statements as "...These young lads...."

I dont know your age either, BUT I dont think its morally acceptable from you brandishing such statements..

PLS lets co-operate for the sake of our mutual respects , BRO. !

0monnakoda:
Sorry no offense meant.If that offends you I apologize. You must be an old man then but I am sure not as old as DendeIku. He is as old as the hills but refuses to die

CyberG: I will advise that everyone dede1 (deridegull), he brings nothing to any debate and in fact lowers the quality of intellectual debates. He is still dazed and perhaps mentally damaged by the blunt force trauma of 1967 - 1970 Biafra war and his PTSD kicks in high gear whenever he hears the name of Chief Awolowo, Nigeria or related actors or events. dede1, just go and sleep, everything you've said has been shaited upon.

Shakiratuu:

Sorry ojare, where is this Southern Nigeria and who are they?

geeez: You mean its Awolowo and not our friends from that side if town

One thing I keep saying is that a people that are progressive in their mindset will always attract development

Lagos is fast growing because BRF is progressive

Ogun, Oyo and Osun are fast catching up for the same reason

God bless the Yoruba race
