Buhari And Mutually Assured Restoration By Ben Murray Bruce by philips70(m): 9:44am On May 26, 2015 |
Very Interesting, read and learn. This is coming from one of our illustrious sons. In the run up to his inauguration, President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, has been telling the nation of his plans and policy direction and one of those policies is his stated intention to resume the search for oil in Northern Nigeria and specifically in the Lake Chad region of Borno State. Ironically, Borno is one of the states ravaged by the scourge of terrorism which has set that state and the entire Northeast region back in almost every index of human development. http://www.theopinion.ng/buhari-and-mutually-assured-restoration/ 57 Likes 8 Shares |

Reading this piece brought tears to my eyes **clears nostril with handkerchief**. I have always and will always be a firm believer in our unity. Those that are clamoring for secession have the right to do so but am 100% certain we better off together. Over the years and even in recent times, we have been having communal fights among ethnic groups in the same region. We have had Ijaw-Itshekiri, Aguleri-Umuleri, Ife-Modakeke, Tiv-Jukun and so many too numerous to count. Now the question is this: Will all these tribes also ask for division when each region is finally on their own or what assurance can we give that secession will not bring about future agitation by other minority tribes in each region?. I am fully in support of Bruce's opinion on this. He is fast earning my affection for He seems to always have the right idea (unless of course the electric car issue. Lolz) about our challenges. I really wish for many more like him and GMB in the helm of our affairs in this great nation of great people. God bless Nigeria! Yes! Yes!! Yeeeesssssss!!! FTC again just like yesterday. This is my week. 74 Likes 2 Shares |

OREMUSSANCTUS:Especially when it's not properly paragraphed. To summarize, though: Ben Murray Bruce encourages Mutual Assured Restoration (MAR) - A situation where the north & south learn to coexist in peace and harmony, leveraging one another's strengths. He believes the south needs the north as much as the north needs the South - while the north depends on the south for oil revenue, the south depends on the north for food. He believes nations can survive without oil, but they cannot survive without food and many of our staple foods be it Rice, locally grown wheat, cows on the hoof, tomatoes, peppers onions etc., come from the North. [I add that - while oil (the south) contributes most to our National revenue, Agriculture (the north) contributes most to our GDP.] Ben encourages GMB to explore for oil in the Chad Basin, such that the ND won't always have to hold the whole country to ransome with their militant threat anytime they feel begrudged. In summary, he believes #WeNeedEachOther and that #ThereIsStrengthInUnity. 48 Likes 2 Shares |

OREMUSSANCTUS:- Buhari plans to continue the oil exploration in Northern Nigeria. - This is good, as it would lead to multiple income streams to Nigerians. - Bruce advises Southerners to change their perceptions about the North. 18 Likes |

Nigeria has got no choice as it stands other than working together to make the country great. What has become of South Sudan after separating from Sudan? What happened to East and West Germany after their separation? They eventually came togather again. I am not aware of many countries that split and never regretted it. We only need to hold our leaders to account in order to realize our aspirations from the country. Let's live in peace as a united nation. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Bevista: Just did the paragraphing now. Just that people don't read on Nairaland whether paragraphed or not. The link to the article is there for anyone who really is interested in the article. If only everyone is reasoning like Ben Bruce at the moment Nigeria will be a better place. But the core politicians who benefit from the mutual suspicion cum religious and tribal jingoism will not let this happen hence they spend money into creating more division. Really wish GMB and Osinbajo with their diversity can use this 4 years to bring Nigerians of all shades together. Just imagine the size and population of the United States yet they live and progress together. 11 Likes |

sonOfLucifer: And that the South actually needs the North more than the North needing the South for the fact that it's the North that feeds the nation. Many countries can survive without oil whereas no country can survive without food. Lalasticlala, this is FP material. 10 Likes |

I still don't know why some Northerners are so excited at the prospect of getting Oil in the North. Ya know no matter what is found there it wont be enough to sustain the entire Northern population huh? BESIDES YOU GOT WAY BIGGER PROBLEMS THAN THAT. Maybe if you people give more attention to getting quality education and not cheating your way up to Graduation (thinking you're doing yourself any favors) we wouldn't be having graduates that cant even write properly. Oh and while you're at it SOLVE YOUR GODDAMN RELIGIOUS ISSUES unless you wanna end up going the way of the Arab Countries. What i wanna see done in this country is - Mandate Education in the North (All ya need is basic Education so nobody said you MUST go to a University but Secondary School is a must). Oversee those Schools to make sure people are actually meeting standards and not just cheating all the time (THEY DO THAT ALOT!). - Law Enforcement Empowered. Lose all the Unfit, unqualified personnel that fill the Force and hire people with basic secondary school Education, Train them properly and arm them with PROPER Pistols not some fvcking assault rifle. Set up a database for storing criminal records and all other necessary things. This should take care of all the Serial lawless ignorant dolts that like to Kill random and Burn churches, Courts etc because they 'are offended'. - And IF Education still hasn't taken care of it then find a way to Control Population Growth. They'll probably resist with their Religious excuses but i say IMPOSE BIRTH CONTROL on them. Because i don't see the point of putting measures to fix the North when they just keep creating more problems by giving birth to Kids they cant take care of hence restarting the Cycle of Uneducated, Almajiris, Rioters, Thugs , More Illiteracy etc. Buhari wont be around Forever. And if your people are continuously Ignorant they will always end up having Ignorant people leading them which is basically why the North is so backwards. But as you can see Niger/Chad and others that you share a lot in common with ain't so great either so maybe you just were never meant to be Developed. P.S This isn't a Southerner speaking, I'm more Hausa and Islamic than any of you (unless you're judging by ignorance level then you win) 13 Likes |

we de watch! for our own sakes we better all wish buhari well. on another note, Oil money can feed the Niger delta, if the ND is independent we have the resources(money) to import food and then develop our agriculture.
