Nigeria will continue to struggle until the citizens does the needful. Below is ten things I think Nigeria needs to do to normalise itself back to reckoning as Africa Super Power.

1. Restructure Nigeria to pre 1966 structure or even a finer one, to allow each major ethnic blocks or groups stronger control of itself while the center controls national security etc

2. Start to enforce the law regardless of anyone's status. It is one of the most important.

3. Promote an image of a new Nigeria that we want to be seen as, just like Rwanda is doing, and sustain it.

4. Enforce accountability and zero tolerance to corruption at any level, and blaze the trail.

5. Stop govt sponsorship of religious prigmages. It should be a private affair and remain so. I don't like when govt openly sponsors prigmages. Why?

6. Start massive breathtaking infrastructure development in Nigeria and encourage regions to compete. Enforce orderliness in development.

7. Push for huge Agricultural development towards self food sustenance. Each region to contribute immensely

8. Push for massive industrialization driven by private sector towards made in Nigeria products with competitive quality.

9. Take Education to practical and unprecedented level, driving research and development to great stage unseen in Africa. Emphasis on artificial intelligence to be harnessed.

10. Professionalise the military, police, customs, immigration and civil servants with massive purge of the bad ones.

If we do all these, believe you me, other things will fall in place.

Doing the first item on your list will automatically bring about all the other nine.

Seek ye first restructuring and every other thing will begin to fall into place on their own.

For example, if we return to the pre May 24 1966 structure when each region sourced for her own revenue, no region or state will waste hard earned revenue on an economically wasteful venture like pilgrimage sponsorhip. Availability of free unerned funds is the reason why all the problems you see persist.

Yes, I agree with you......it is more noise than reality......but my point is if the majority of ibos want Biafra......let us allow them to have it....the SW is too congested and it is getting worse... .... ....initially when it started........we were being accommodating thinking we are being our brothers keepers ......but the spat of serious kidnapping in those areas a few years back led to a massive influx of ibos into our lands..... .......and even after the kidnapping was controlled a little by holding their community leaders responsible........the mass migration has continued... ......you need to be in traffic in any city in the southwest and you will not believe the number of them sweating and running after your cars to sell one product or the other even making the traffic jam and accidents worse.....with attendant costs on productivity lost.....and because of the failure of their system....and much frustration....many of them get involved in all kinds of crime...armed robbery.....fake drugs....etc....without conscience ...many consider money in any form.....Business.....you need to go out into clubs/hotels and see the sheer number of ibo prostitutes that litter our cities......meanwhile their leaders do nothing to address their issues and we are forced to accommodate and provide for them in our land even with so much hatred which is nothing to do with us..... .....I swear.....I cannot wait for Biafra.... ......the problem is that once they get Biafra....the ibos are self hating anyway and will start killing themselves but then it will no longer be our problem as long as they no longer wander into our lands.....shikena....

I have read your comments and have seen your disdain for Ibos. Have you suggested that illegal immigrants are in Lagos and need to go? I don't usually waste my time reasoning with people who are brainless.

You need to go and grow sense. You really don't have any. If you divide Nigeria, Ibos will still be in Lagos. Except you want to tell me that Nigerians are only in Nigeria.

If Nigeria is divided Igbo will be marched out of Lagos or will be issued and must carry around their immigration papers. Nonsense

Moving with whatever paper is not an issue. You know you ought to move with your ID card as a Nigerian? Is not a must to be in Nigeria, whoever wish to associate with Nigeria can go on. A country that can't settle simple issue as cattle rearing? What a useless country.

Igboland to get Islamic University (to be located in Afikpo, Ebonyi State) •Boasts the best Islamic secondary school in Nigeria

Unknown to most people in religiously divided Nigeria, the best Islamic secondary school in the country is not located in the Muslim-dominated North but in the largely Christian South-East, specifically in Afikpo, Ebonyi State.
Now there are plans to turn the school, known as Islamic Centre, Afikpo, into an Islamic University. This was disclosed by Sheikh Daud Nwagui, the Headmaster of the primary section of the school, who told the Daily Trust newspaper: “We hope to turn the school into a university, that is a university of Islamic studies. There is no school like this in the whole of the South-East.”
The hilly Afikpo town boasts the highest number of Igbo Muslims in the South-East, followed by the university town of Nsukka in neighbouring Enugu State. The Islamic Centre, Afikpo, was founded by Sheikh Ibrahim Okpani Nwagui, the father of the present headmaster, who brought Islam to Afikpo in 1958.
According to Sheikh Daud Nwagui, his late father embraced Islam in Senegal and promptly introduced the religion to his people when he returned to Nigeria in 1958.
“From that time a lot of people in the vicinity were turning to Islam. He was a very sincere person, and he was like this till his very last days. He was the founder of the Islamic Centre, Afikpo,” he said, adding: “This centre was set up in 1965 to propagate Islam generally. This is the best Islamic secondary school in the nation, and students come from all over the country, including Abuja..........

Keep living in your delusion! That dream of starting whatever abracadabra would not see the light of the day. That nwagui of a nobody was yapping rubbish.

Lol! So who would attend the schools? The Afikpos, ebonyians or the south eastern folks who are mainly Christians? Oh!! I'm sure you would think, outsiders from far and near would even dream of supporting this unrealistic dream in a region that detests anything Islam? Even if they do, would the generality of Igbo Christians allow that? If they vehemently rejected whatever 'ruga or herdsmen settlement', in the east based on fulanization and islamization, do you think they would indeed approve that man to site such in Afikpo?

The Christian Afikpo and ebonyi people won't even give a room for that, how much more the entire Igbo ethnic group. Dude think twice before you post to buttress your points.

Allowed yes! But on a larger scale, oga is a No! Since there years of existence, we only got to know they do exist by 2018. A larger percentage of ebonyians, don't even know they exist.

That's to prove to you, they ain't growing, a redundant sch that have not been able to convert the Afikpo area or have a large percentage of her students from ebonyi, is that one a sch

What Nigeria need to do first is fish out those that truncated the confederal system of govt in place in 1966. Their entire household dead or alive should be made to pay the ultimate price for others to learn then I may consider every other foolish point you made.

Until you people close that school and ban Islam in Afikpo, all these denials from you will remain in the realm of mere denial.

Wake up.

You cannot have a "successful organization or nation without a SINGLE dominant culture". It's very stupid and grossly dishonest to argue against that FACTUAL assertion.

All modern smart and progressive nations solved their problem of extreme/multidimensional ethnic diversity via peaceful disintegration. But the foolish ones clung to their delusion of forced oneness until it drove them into endless wars, genocide or ethnic cleansing. A recipe for perpetual retrogression if not total extinction.

The ONLY way to fix a building that has a terminally flawed foundation is to FIRST dismantle the structure. Anything else is mere prolongation of the d day.

A house that is divided aganst itself shall not stand

lezz:


1) The main "plank" of my argument for a better and one Nigeria isn't based on the geographical fixation of SE to SS and SW to MB. That's putting it in an overly simplistic form.

2) Resources alone do not make for super power

3) It is unfortunate you stopped believing in Nigeria as
you got older and wiser

4) Nigeria has a dominant culture easily discernible
at home and abroad. It may not be singular as you
you wish but it is score for a nation this diversed .

5) I am aware of the problems that bedevil Nigeria and they aren't insurmountable. I think tribalism cripples Nigeria more than any government ineptitude.

With everything Nigeria has undergone in political turmoil, tribal unrest and political uncertainty, why has there been no concrete effort to disintegrate and disolve the union?

Good point. Go and get them from the graves. And yes, there are still few of them alive, in fact two prominent ones from middle belt, ex Generals, you know them go and get them. It's time you wake up from depravity of sanity caused by blindness of heart. The cure is simply "light", allow light into your heart. Think forward and not backward.

In a botanical garden, whatever is not growing is dying, and whatever is not dying is growing. There is never stagnation. It is either growing or dying.
Likewise, in the garden of humanity, whatever phenomenon is not dying is actually growing regardless of how stagnant it might appear to be.
As long as the Islam introduced into Igbo land in 1958 has not died since then, then it is definitely growing.

The spectacular feature of the growth of Islam in Igbo land is that it is being adopted freely by Igbos unlike in all other parts of Nigeria where it was violently imposed on them against their will through conquest.
It all shows that Igbos are actually the natural moslems.

We can achieve all these without the ibos....let them get their Biafra.....this is their wish and we support them......as a suggestion let them start by petitioning their elected representatives and let those ones start speaking....that is all we ask.....we will support their agitation.....the radio and online Biafra stuff is nonsense....we want the real Biafra and have advised them how they can get it....
