MuguliciousMUGU:

do you know that the money jonathan would have used to develop the other sectors was channeled to the security sector? If not because of the corruption in the security sector, boko haram would have been crushed by now, but at least he tried in the education sector, he built 9 federal universities, this has infact reduced the number of people seeking admission, they can now go to the university easily.

Agriculture sector is improving now, all we need is more skilled and unskilled labours to take up a job in the agriculture sector, this will reduce unemployment.

Infact he tried, compared to obasanjo who stole trillions of naira, and buhari who jailed lots of journalist, how do we know if buhari did not steal any money? When he jailed the journalist that would have reported if his government was bad or good... Well we are watching him... May 29 is not too far.

Just like you seem to profess new faith now outside the bigotry for which I knew you...so also others... Smiling today because the system is favourable now should not make you blind to the flaws inherent therein...wake up now...join the call...

Not to worry at all.

Mr. Integrity himself, Buhari promised true fiscal federalism since 2011 and with an assured majority in both senate and house of reps, it should be automatic passage!

1. Define new leaders. Donald Duke was fresh. Fashola is fresh. Sanusi is fresh. Why cant the new people with aspirations step up to contest for the primaries? Desmond Elliot showed that you can make it. How cone others did not come out? I find it insulting that the PDP had Donald Duke and we had to contend with thieving charlatans.

2) The PDP has been at the centre and the had both houses of assembly too. Why did those leaders not push for that? Tinubu has been screaming federalism for almost 12 years and failed to recognise that. Why?

3) This country cannot be regonalised because our regions do not define us. Not everyone in the SE is Igbo. Not everyone in the SW is Yoruba. Divisions are all over. We are citizens of Nigeria and we live in states and not regions. When you guys attempt to divide the country into 6, you become a bunch of tribal warlords

4) I see myself as part of a well growing Nation where corruption is not our problem. Where I can be of Igbo descent and contest for governorship in Kano. Where I can be from Abia state and the family of my Anambra GF wont say I am not good enough because I am from Ngwa

OrlandoOwoh:

You're the one bringing the South East into. Did the PDP governors in the south tell their representatives in the confab to work for the interest of the north?

Lets take bets...point to my posts that are tribal..


Dig and bring them out

Whynotthetruth:



Nothing was sacrosanct there except self determination as espoused by indivisibility of Nigeria...Restructuring wasn't cancelled out but was fought vehemently by North... though some quasi-restructuring was finally agreed...

Whynotthetruth:



1)Even north didn't vote buhari...tinubu bought over SW and with seeming none-existence of APC down south, he manipulated yes delegates from there to make up for buhari...so relax...

2)Why should I forget confab when it holds the key to quasi restructuring already

3)I wish you believed same thing when you insulted agbaje here...or supported your oba

Why not take a walk down there to see them?...I don't depend on past and I don't judge people... I rather advise you to turn a new life if I see you getting it all wrong...that's what I did for you bro...join the call...support regionalism

Whynotthetruth:
Any close observer of the polity post-election would have seen more the actual reason for "get Jonathan out of the way election". From the comments of Mohammed, Shamshudeen to that of Sen. Dansadau etc and people will still come here to tell me about how Jonathan was voted out due to non-performance. Since when did we become so averse to non-performing leaders of which Jonathan doesn't fit the list. Some lords felt that Jonathan was fast making them to lose relevance hence they needed to reinvent themselves politically coupled with oil block licencing cum population census of 2016. To this a powerful propaganda machinery was needed to brainwash the smart by half majority. It's a truism that outside Jonathan, most of these men has been part of Nigeria misrule since 1978 till date. A journey through our history shows a country held hostage by its own and forced to be moving in circles. Why can't there be new leaders? Why can't we have true fiscal federalism? Why can't we regionalize this country? Why is the burden of ONE Nigeria always on the South?

Nzeogwu & co believed due to post election crisis in SW, that they can rescue ONE Nigeria, but they plunged the eastern part into paying 'debts' unending.

Ironsi believed in ONE Nigeria, and his blood was used to wash the streets.

Isaac Boro screamed and cried for same injustice but was muscled out.

Saro Wiwa came to the stage but his blood was used to entertain the oligarchs.

Ojukwu decided to challenge the anomaly engendered by barefaced rape of our sanctity to life and association but was confronted with more blood on our streets and made a fugitive in his supposed fatherland.

Yes, subsequently Easterners were subjected to the background after the gift of 20pounds as punishment for "no victor; no vanquished". Some of their people were used as baits to whittle down the genuine demands and general wellbeing of majority by giving them crumbs called political appointments. While NigerDeltans were brainwashed through series of well oiled propaganda to see the Igbos as their enemies and root cause of their problem. While the alien term SS came into being to copiously highlight the divide always.

SouthWest were made heroes of their fellow southern brothers woes; but unfortunately were eaten by same tiger they fed. Awolowo was stampeded even to death. And Abiola who had national appeal was not allowed to be. Finally, he became a story and a sentence in the past amidst laughter from the lords of Nigeria.

Obasanjo thrived with the hides and shadow of late Shehu Yar'adua(progenitor of the powerful Kaduna mafia). He is a cat with nine lives. He had his bread buttered by the gods but choose to dine with devil and became lord of demons. Blood of the innocents especially from the creeks cries around him for vengeance.

And now, came Jonathan not an Igbo but from a background feeling the pangs of pain and marginalization like Igbo. He gave so much to pacify these internal colonialists and oligarchs at the expense of developing his region but was rejected, framed as corrupt notwithstanding the reputable; "Transparency International" verdict vindicating him. He was humiliated out of office. We all know our position back in the years.

In all, Jonathan didn't just lose. We lost too. It may not be easy to see any Southerner rise to that post in the near future without some radical breakthrough. Forget
the noise and empty rhetorics of people like Rochas Okorocha and co. Boys talk; men act.

The North by the smart machinery instituted by Prof. Attahiru Jega would always determine and decide who rules Nigeria notwithstanding the voting pattern down South. Irrespective of South's discontent with government in power; unless North decide otherwise the government MUST persist.

What slavery is more than this?...Read the dailies and cry for the future because these people we term "aabookiii" ruled all my ancestry, my grandfather, my father and now myself, with the country bastardized and in shambles. When will it all end with all the sycophants, and many smart by half people down South?

Is it too much to ask if Nigeria is reduced to regions with a weak central government?

The cries and shrills of Elder Godsday Orubebe in that INEC hall echoes in my heart...

barcanista:
I have observed that non SS/SE people are quick to flood threads such as this to derail or preach half truth. I urge brothers/sisters not to relent or demoralised in this call for fairness and equity.

Keep it up Whynotthetruth, Mogidi and others

philips70:


He should have left it open in my opinion. He bungled it, let the people speak and decide. Is that not what many of you want and lots have died for? He chose to be a nice guy, after all he's already rich and he doesn't need a republic to become richer. Like someone said here earlier all this talk of restructuring and federalism would have been uncalled for if we had sincere leaders who managed all we are given to develop our region. Our problems are useless leaders. Even if they give us 100% greedy leaders will still corner all and what we will have are richer strong people while the masses will continue to suffer.

Mynd44:

You keep saying how I made tribal comments. Me that I even promoted that I don't mind a Lagos with an Igbo deputy governor as long as it is based on merit and you are here posting crap.

Please don't confuse me with your fellow tribal warlords. I am well beyond that

Is that a resignation that you have nothing? You people love to play your silly tribal politics, blow hot air and issue threats.

When asked to face issues, you run till your feet hurt as usual

1)How was Jonathan anti-fiscal federalism?...By constituting confab right?

2)That you're up for grab for the highest bidder doesn't put others in your cadre...

3)I am proud of my patriarch and ancestry... hope you're ashamed of yours?

4)Joblessness is when you have time enough to monitor others and comment on their threads too...

1) . . . . . . . .what CONFAB? I hope you are not referring to that assembly where money was doled to politicians?

2) . . . . . . . .have you ever heard me ask for protection or PM anyone on nairaland? . . . . . .we all know the party that played 'money' 2015

Shut up. You are very wicked and deceptive. The thread is up for discussion, go to your forum if you want a discussion of only SS/SE. Counter the so called half truth with point just like the OP is doing instead of being whinning like a raped cat. You want to keep spreading your wicked lies without being challenged, its only those that dont know the real you that do fall for your fake ways.

This is nairaland and not barcaland where you can feed the gullibles with your lies. Chameleon.
