oladeebo:

who is listen to Falae, who said Buhari would never smell power!
But Buhari is in power, what he did since then?

GavelSlam:


I am not in any party though I am keen to give this president a chance unlike many of you.

In sane societies the likes of Falae would withdraw to their shells with their old friends denying ever being close.

I am not against anything that would give progress to the nation.

However, what is the true meaning of restructuring?

I even stated in my last post, what exactly is Falae's definition of restructuring?

I know many have jumped on the bandwagon because as it appears, at least for the foreseeable future, gaining access to the pot would be extremely difficult.

The commonn man however, believes whatever he is told.

My brother, there's not a single system of government that would work in Nigeria if Nigerians don't change first.

nairanaira12:


You are right; two and a half years have gone, yet no solution to anything. Only propaganda, lies and deceptions everyday. Northernalization of every part of the country. Failed promises one after the other. Yes, it is good to give this government more chance to ruin this country further. We should continue giving them chance until Nigeria is listed on OLX for sale as scrap.

How does anything yiou have said remove the need for restructure? Comment like a man not deceiving hismonw destiny.

nairanaira12:


Islamic bigot, let me ask you one simple question. How does your senseless comment nullifies the need for restructure?

I will repeat it to your hearing (or is it reading), the northern Muslims you want to die for do not see you as a true Muslim. They won't bother killing you if situation warrants it. Go and borrow brain if you lack one.

GavelSlam:


Between you and the person you quoted who is the bigot?

Did he refer to tribe or religion or did he use any abusive word?

Read your own statement and read his and tell the truth to yourself.

GavelSlam:


Nothernization of what?

Or you mean he stopped easterization and made provision for all.

The other day, a comparison was done between his appointments in NNPC as against Jonathan's. Buhari's was more balanced between the North and South. But I don't expect you to accept the truth.

All you want is to reduce his power even some of you were wishing him death when he was ill.

Be truthful, you hate him because your kinsman told you he's a bad person and he's a Muslim.

I'm a Christian from the south and Im itshekiri.

I have found the president to be focused and purposeful.

Nigeria's external reserves has increased to its highest since 2015, and this is at our oil selling at half the price of the last government.

You guys only feel bitter that a president can function without being popular among some tribes in the country.

Kemperor:
Why must the northwest always drag this fragile nation to the dust?

Whether they like it or not we must restructure..

They receive the highest allocation of monies and yet they are underdeveloped in all ramifications...

What good can come out of them? Buhari?

Chukwudi4naija:
It is unfortunate that I share the same country with this unreasonable fellow who is utterly blinded by sentiment. After all these elaborate explanation about restructuring by this rational old man, you're still feigning ignorance and attacking his personality all because you benefit from this lump sided contraption called Nigeria. Every region must grow on its own capacity and not lord its laziness, lack of planning, illiteracy and religion orientation to others. How can a region blessed with both physical and human resources be bedeviled by massive unemployment, insecurity, poverty and other social problems because it is unfortunate to share a country with people who are educationally and educationally backward, but politically advanced as the political landscape favours them. This is why you see a less than averagely educated northerner who has employment and admission chances that even a Ph.D holder from the south. Definately Nigeria cannot progress with that kind of structure unless you derive pleasure in poverty, bad leadership and insecurity.

Simple question,:

How did he express any form of bigotry?

The effort you use in replying would be better embellished with facts not insults.

nairanaira12:


Why are you making a fool of yourself like this? Did buhari only make appointment in NNPC? what of other sectors? And do you realize that only the head matters? How come the head is from the north? Stop being mischievous.

nairanaira12:


Like I answered you earlier. Stop being an idiot by jumping into what you dont kniw the origin. By the way, calling you an idiot isn't an insult; it is a statement of fact. Have you asked the person you are defending and has he said I'm wrong? I repeat, stop acting like a idiot.

Restructure to what?

Back to what it was in the 60's?

If it was so good a system please tell me why it was botched and by whom?

My friend go and work and stop looking for excuses for your failure.

Chukwudi4naija:
What you asked for is already specified by that scholar. Check how the restructuring looked like in the write-up and how it was jettisoned by military juntas. I cannot be persuaded to give another explanation to a fool and unity begger like you. If you have seen me, you cannot even muster courage to call me a failure. educationwise, I'm better than 95% of your people. So you can use your tongue to count your teeth.

OK.

Shifting goalposts.

You want me to find every single appointment he has made?

You guys are the ones who allege.

Please provide the entire swathe of appointments since you are keeping track.

This one is not hear-say. This is from the horse's mouth.

President Muhammadu Buhari specifically asked the World Bank to focus all their developmental activities in the North.

Let me quote the World Bank boss in his exact words:

"You know in my very first meeting with President Buhari, he said specifically that he would like us to shift our focus to the Northern region of Nigeria and we've done that. Now, it has been very difficult. The work there has been very difficult"

This is from the World Bank Oga kpatakpata.

Monies from NNPC are going to the north.
Firms are being compelled by the same NNPC to contribute 100million monthly to develop the North.

There is NorthEast Development Commission fully funded with oil money from the South.

There is a special percent of VAT kept specially for the North even as alcohol which is a major source of VAT is banned in the Sharia North.

Rail-lines connecting the North to even Niger Republic are ongoing.

As I write this, president Buhari has signed the 3,050MW Mambilla Hydro project in a strategic move to empower the North. In addition, the govt just re-acquired the Ajeokuta steel plant to supply steel to the Mambilla Hydro project. The local content participation in the project is almost 1billion United States Dollars.

All going to the North.

You can make your own finding to confirm all these.

Don't forget how much billions of dollars that have been borrowed specifically to develop the North due to the boko haram activities.

How much was borrowed to develop Ala-Igbo after the Biafran war even when 3Rs was declared?

How much effort has been made to develop the Niger Delta which is the main area all those monies are coming from but which is unsafe for even non-living things to live in, due to oil exploration??

Meanwhile, a bill to gift Lagos state with a special status was killed in the National Assembly by Northern lawmakers with the help of their fraudulently acquired numerical strength.

A bill to establish the Southeast Development Commission was killed by Northern lawmakers with the help of their fraudulently acquired numerical strength.

Even the Original Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) was killed by northern lawmakers at the national Assembly. They only accepted the corrupt version of the bill when they succeded in smuggling two Northern states as beneficiaries of special fund known as "Host Community Fund" even when those two northern states are not hosting even a litter of oil.

When Buhari or any Northerner tells you that the unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable, this is exactly why. Nigeria as presently constituted, is their ATM.

Those of you inaundating us with your rhetorics and verbal gymnastics about RESTRUCTURING, you need to quit living in denial.

Telling us the benefit of restructuring is like selling coal to Newcastle. Even Ikenga, my two day old son knows the benefit of Restructuring. What he doesn't know, like the rest of us, is how you guys plan on achieving that in the face of Northern resistance.

Go read El-rufai speech few day ago. He's the Chairman of APC committee on restructuring. He made it clear that those saying they want to control their resources are just being selfish and that such a thing will never happen because it will not benefit other Nigerians. He advised them to think of other Nigerians.

I've said it before and it bears repeating now, those expecting any form of RESTRUCTURING through the existing constitutional framework are either ignorant or dishonest or even both. But there is another option: they are fans of the status-quo who are simply using the Restructuring rhetorics to douse the Biafra agitation.

To restructure, you need to change that iniquitious document that calls itself the 1999 constitution. And to do that, you need 2/3 (not a simple majority) of all members of the national Assembly as well as that of the state houses of Assembly in the entire country.

The entire southern federal lawmakers won't give you 2/3 even if you borrow 3 North central states join them. And don't forget, some southern lawmakers actually prefer the status-quo where they are getting billions just for going to the NASS to sleep and snore.
