Senator Ireti Kingibe, the sole Labour Party member in the Nigerian Senate, has revealed that fixing Nigeria is proving more daunting than she initially anticipated.

Speaking on Arise TV, Kingibe said that even President Bola Tinubu, who won the recent election, is also shocked by the fact that the country is not as fixable as it appeared before their election.


Kingibe’s admission comes as the Labour Party continues to advocate for a new era of selfless leadership in Nigeria. The party’s rise to prominence stemmed largely from the widespread support for its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who finished second in the election.

Recall that prior to the presidential election, Kingibe, while canvassing for support for the Labour Party, said that Peter Obi has what it takes to tackle Nigeria’s problems.

Where's Wole soyinka?? I refused to believe that such a learned man is a tribalist, it beats my imagination

He's a tribalist yet he was put in prison for supporting Easterners during the Civil war?

Never4getU:


U're stupid as hell. Who else is more tribalistic in this country if not the useless area u emanate from( East).

When people start giving back with similar energy u're quick to call them tribalistic as if u're not even the worse compared.

Once Peter Obi was declared winner in Lagos ur stupid igbo folks gone haywire flooding all social media rewriting our history about how igbo forefathers discover Lagos and how it didn't belong to Yoruba or Awori but ur foolish self.

But soon the rest of yoruba sons and daughters who voted against their own in ur favor realized their mistake having hijacked their collective efforts for what they had thought was a shift from old the order but little did they know that igbo people aren't they type to align or draw an agreement with else one lose out completely.

You better go and die when u finally hug transfer at ur neighborhood.

Nigeria is one of the easiest countries to fix if there's political will.

Restructuring, true federalism and decentralisation.

It's simple as that but politicians are enjoying present looting, nepotism hiding in/under Abuja.

SoNature:


That's not true. Nigeria is hard to govern because we don't have an ideology. In fact, the North and South shouldn't even be in one country because their views about life differ. A people are easier to manage if they share the same ideals. It's easier to criticise if you are on the outside.

However, I think most politicians come to fix the problem. When they see enormous problems they are expected to fix, they become overwhelmed. Jonathan developed grey hair few days in Aso Rock and Buhari said he nearly ran away.

Then why not just divide the country, at least the Igbos have tried before and are still trying, is it that other tribes don't want progress?

The biggest beneficiaries of one Nigeria won't let that happen. To be clear, the biggest beneficiaries are the South West and Islamic North.

In the north, people are mostly agrarians. So, they don't directly benefit from the system. However, the the wealthy among them largely depend on politics and government appointments to get by. That's why they control a significant percentage of Niger Delta oil wells.

For the South West, Nigeria has made Lagos State one of the biggest economies in Africa. Now, the growth of Lagos is spilling over into neighbouring states, which is a win for the South West. When I saw Sunday Igboho calling for Oduduwa Republic, I just told myself that this one knows nothing.

Then, the Niger Delta states are the biggest losers. They feed the entire country and get nothing in return. If the resources of oil producing regions are left for them alone, they will be as rich as Qatar if properly managed. Oil-producing states are the reason Nigeria cannot be restructured because the fear is that they will be more powerful than the centre and that may lead to secession.

As for the South East, what the region has experienced is mostly being cut off from the centre and absence of federal presence. However, the region has also benefited from petrodollars. Although South East states have oil deposit, not as much as SS states. So, technically, the SE benefits from free money. To survive, Igbos are turning to education, sports, business/trades and travels. As for travel for greener pastures, that's why there's hardly anywhere you don't see an Igbo man.

Then what are we still doing as an entity

Let's balkanize this country

Biafra is already on it way to becoming a great nation

Oduduwa and Arewa can remain in their one and indivisible Nigeria

TopBanter:


Dullard. Just show me , per real actions and not rhetoric and deceitful gaslighting you lot love engaging in, who has been the current undisputed champion of self-rule other than Yorubas.

You ignoramuses keep shouting Biafra up and down yet Igbo leaders, by their action, show they are the least willing to cede autonomy to other tiers of governance.

Even Northerners you mock are showing progress understand the need to devolve power away from overpowerful centres everywhere whereas you Igbos remain the most retrogressive yet also the most eager to shade others duplicitously when there is actually going on in ala Ignot o show seriousness about regional autonomy, restructuring, resource control etc. You guys are clowns 🤡.
