Why I Will Not Give Biafra If I Were President- By A Strong Supporter Of IPOB by Bede2u(m): 4:42pm On Sep 05, 2017
I have been a member of this forum since 2010. I have also been very strong in the political section.
In 2011 I supported GEj for president and he won. But my expectations of him were not eventually met. He suspended the dredging of the River Niger and stopped work along Enugu-Onitcha express way. He only empowered south east politicians. His promise of Enugu international airport was started but not delivered and 2nd Niger bridge was never awarded.
In 2015 I supported Buhari and his government has so far been a disaster to my people. Buhari has practically declared war on the good people of South East.
In 2016 I started supporting Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB. To me it became a simbol of progress for my Igbo people who have become sidelined since the unfortunate civil war of the 60s.

However, this article is about what I will do if I ever find myself in Aso Rock today. I won't give the Biafrans (which I am a part of) independence!

I will do the following;

1. Recognise the six geopolitical zones as federating units and order INEC to conduct elections to elect their governors. I will name the SE zone as Biafra state, SW as Odu'a state, SS as Niger Delta state, NC as Middle Belt state, NW as Arewa state, NE as Kanuri state.

2. The current 36 states will become metropolitan areas and the current 36 governors will become Mayors. I will scrap entirely the current 774 LGA arrangment. The current LGA chairmen will go to the new six state assemblies as legislators. The councilors will be dissmissed.

3. I will return Ilorin and Kabba to Odu'a state. Asaba, and other Igboid part of SS will be conceeded to Biafra (to quell unnessesary agitation). Ijaw part of Ondo will return to Niger Delta state. The fulani part of Kwara and Niger goes to Arewa state. The Christian part of Taraba goes to Middle Belt state.

4. The oil belongs to us all! Therefore the current sharing formula will continue. The 36 Metros will still get what they are currently getting, while the new six states will now get what the LGA where getting before. So a state will get only the amount that would have accrued to the LGA it had before.

5. Some NPF police officers will be transfered to state service as state police. Same will be with some prison wardens. Many of items on exclusive list (such as energy and power generation) will be moved to concurrent list to allow states participate. Only defence, foreign affairs and currency operations will be exclusive. Because of this, the oil revenue share retained by the FG will decrease to give more to the 6 states and 36 metros.

6. I will increase the number of senator to 115. The extra 6 will be one first class king from each of the 6 states. Such as the sultan, ooni, obi, oba o benin etc. The new 6 states will have houses of chiefs to be made up of the remaining top monarchs in the zone. Any monarch not included will be considered irrelevant and derobed.

By this, agitations will reduce grossly to give government at each level chance to do its job. Also the unaccounted waste by the current 774 LGAs will stop. The FG by this arrangement sheds power, but not enough to make it irrelevant. By this also Biafra would have been given to my people, Niger Delta would have been given to SS and Odu'a would have been given to SW.
Believe me, we are stronger and more prosperous together. If I have my way, I would unite the 15 nations of ECOWAS into one Federal Republic.

I dont think you realise that the constitution of Nigeria prevents whoever is the president of Nigeria from implementing any of these 6 points you wrote.

You people don't even know that the enemies of Biafra is not Arewa, nor Oduas, but the so called tribes in the S'South. They are grossly against the unity of Igbos. Go to their Facebook Page and see the way they attack Igbos and create division on Igbos with their spurious claims of no Igbo in S'South.

thats part of the reason why i dont want to be in a country with them only. Besides their desposition shows that they wont assist us in actualising Biafra wen words needs to turn to action. For fairness, we need igbo territory in SS to be given back to us. And yoruba territory should be given back to them. Ijaw territory in SW should also be returned. Nigeria needs to be re-founded, restructured and rebranded. Thats how we can gv all ethnic nationality a sense of belonging in d nigerian project. Not by force. I agree however that the oil belongs to us all not just the SS. It was Nigerias money that was used to explore to discover the oil for 20yr starting in 1935. Not SS money. The north sea oil does not belong to scotland alone. It also belongs to norway, sweden and denmark. So even if nigeria should divide, the oil and gas will still be shared by all former members. Just like sudan and south sudan still shares oil revenue

The problem with you is that you are ignorant as to the workings of the Nigerian constitution. Most of what you say you will do requires a series of constitutional amendments as no president has the power to enact them by fiat. Also most of the diversity of this country is unknown to you

You are correct. I knw yorubas will accept it. I also knw its imperfect. But i believe that the north would not accept the type of restructuring many southerners want. But at least they can accept this because they would keep getting the same amount of oil revenue; probably even more because as i stated above, the fg would need to reduce its own share of oil revenue by around 30 percent and share it among the six state since its responsibility will be reduced a bit (especially in areas of federal roads and civil servants salary )

believe u me i know. But u saw how easy it was for the north to get sharia. Did it require ''series of constitutional amendments''. You saw how easy it was for Niger delta states to get 13% derivation. You saw how easy it was for Obj to cede Bakassi. You saw how easy it was in 1964 for the mid western state to be created. Truth is the president of Nigeria and a few powerful politicians are actually the constitution. Their will becomes law. So if i want to achieve this, i knw pple whos support i will seek.
Also the diversity is known to me, but for the sake of conversation, point out were i erred in my knowledge of nigeria's diversity.

You made a lot of sense until point number 4. Even if you become president and do everything on that list so long as that point number 4 is implemented. You will face an agitation far worse than IPOB and nothing will actually change in Nigeria.

look beyond that point four. I knw why i made it. Its a concession we all must make in order to move beyond the current stagnation. Besides the federal government will reduce the amount of oil revenue it gets and the 6 states and 36 metro will have theirs increased. The truth is that agitation will reduce. I am not saying it will stop entirely. But it will reduce to almost zero

The best thing is for every region to manage their resources and pay tax to the federal government. This will kill the agitation.

Take away the oil and see how united we would be as every state or region will be complementing each other as farming will be the main stay.

By this also Biafra would have been given to my people, Niger Delta would have been given to SS and Odu'a would have been given to SW.
Believe me, we are stronger and more prosperous together. If I have my way, I would unite the 15 nations of ECOWAS into one Federal Republic.

Shallom




I was reading this shii until you said oil belongs too us all
Oil belongs too the Niger Delta.......
Leave them with their oil........every state should go and work for her own food......if not you won't stop any agitation.
We must practice true federalism or nothing(I don't even know what to call this you system of government sef)

And mind you I'm Igbo before you start calling me whatever they call Niger Delta people here

Re: Why I Will Not Give Biafra If I Were President- By A Strong Supporter Of IPOB by 9jabull: 3:05am On Sep 06, 2017
Bede2u:
I have been a member of this forum since 2010. I have also been very strong in the political section.
In 2011 I supported GEj for president and he won. But my expectations of him were not eventually met. He suspended the dredging of the River Niger and stopped work along Enugu-Onitcha express way. He only empowered south east politicians. His promise of Enugu international airport was started but not delivered and 2nd Niger bridge was never awarded.
In 2015 I supported Buhari and his government has so far been a disaster to my people. Buhari has practically declared war on the good people of South East.
In 2016 I started supporting Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB. To me it became a simbol of progress for my Igbo people who have become sidelined since the unfortunate civil war of the 60s.

However, this article is about what I will do if I ever find myself in Aso Rock today. I won't give the Biafrans (which I am a part of) independence!

I will do the following;

1. Recognise the six geopolitical zones as federating units and order INEC to conduct elections to elect their governors. I will name the SE zone as Biafra state, SW as Odu'a state, SS as Niger Delta state, NC as Middle Belt state, NW as Arewa state, NE as Kanuri state.

2. The current 36 states will become metropolitan areas and the current 36 governors will become Mayors. I will scrap entirely the current 774 LGA arrangment. The current LGA chairmen will go to the new six state assemblies as legislators. The councilors will be dissmissed.

3. I will return Ilorin and Kabba to Odu'a state. Asaba, and other Igboid part of SS will be conceeded to Biafra (to quell unnessesary agitation). Ijaw part of Ondo will return to Niger Delta state. The fulani part of Kwara and Niger goes to Arewa state. The Christian part of Taraba goes to Middle Belt state.

4. The oil belongs to us all! Therefore the current sharing formula will continue. The 36 Metros will still get what they are currently getting, while the new six states will now get what the LGA where getting before. So a state will get only the amount that would have accrued to the LGA it had before.

5. Some NPF police officers will be transfered to state service as state police. Same will be with some prison wardens. Many of items on exclusive list (such as energy and power generation) will be moved to concurrent list to allow states participate. Only defence, foreign affairs and currency operations will be exclusive. Because of this, the oil revenue share retained by the FG will decrease to give more to the 6 states and 36 metros.

6. I will increase the number of senator to 115. The extra 6 will be one first class king from each of the 6 states. Such as the sultan, ooni, obi, oba o benin etc. The new 6 states will have houses of chiefs to be made up of the remaining top monarchs in the zone. Any monarch not included will be considered irrelevant and derobed.

By this, agitations will reduce grossly to give government at each level chance to do its job. Also the unaccounted waste by the current 774 LGAs will stop. The FG by this arrangement sheds power, but not enough to make it irrelevant. By this also Biafra would have been given to my people, Niger Delta would have been given to SS and Odu'a would have been given to SW.

Number 4 is the bone of contention to start with, the Nigerian state has benefited enough from the oil boom and its time for those community that produce this oil to benefit from it, you said it took Nigeria 20years with contributions from all unit of the Nigerian state, I believe the Niger delta region has paid back in full and more than double the interest.
If not the rest point is useless, because every region will still be depending on the oil, what we should be pushing for is regional autonomy.
