I just hope the day Nigerian will wake up will not come soon on this people

what exactly should the southern senators stand their ground for?

which ground are they standing?

UKEMY:

I detests Tinubu and APC but the whole Southern Executives and Legislooters should support Tinubu,enough of the Northern always finding their Voice when they are not in Power but if it's their kinsmen they lose it.

Not to the degree of the desired autonomy in certain critical areas.

States are these helpless micro-units with peculiar needs and challenges. No State is allowed to make its own Laws or even design its on Over-arching constitution that stands toe to toe with anything happening in Abuja. If a State has a Terrorism problem, it cannnot under the current system make a law to allow Gun ownership or design its own policing system for instance.

What Nigerians refer to as colonial style Regions is equivalent to a Canadian style Province with a single Province there larger than the entire Nigerian landmass.

The British Colonials simply created smaller Provinces under a larger Region back in the day. I am certain, they do not refer to England, Scortland and Wales as "Regions" but merely as Countries or Kingdoms "united".

Essentially, we could say the so called Nigeria is also a type of forced "United Kingdoms" too. But this is where the real problem comes from. The inability to clearly define ancient landmarks and how these same ancient ruling systems could guide the formation or clustering of coherent modern "Provinces" or if you prefer "Regions" ....is still something even the British did not clearly want to define since minorities will always want a great need for self-determination in their own independent regions too and not lumped with an oppressive majority.

States attempted to fix the problem above but has clearly failed by being crippled in the way it is allowed to make its own money, or create its own totally unique internal security systems guided by its own consitution....not the abuse from Abuja.

FreeStuffsNG:
EFCC should investigate all of them! Old Senator o, new Senator o, those who claimed their rights have been breached and those alleged to have breached the rights of others, the Senate leadership and the Ministry of Budget and Planning, they should all be investigated by the EFCC.

Until that's done, I will not be hasty in taking side.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Fuji House of Commotion!

I'm currently watching it in my office.... Southern legislators are not united.... Nengi and senator kawu should be suspended ASAP... Ndume said d matter should be buried... Never, u can not be d alpha and omega of a matter...

Kudos to senator adeola for demanding an open session... Dis northern senators think say dem wise

So 500m was shared amongst some senior senators... Na wetin cause d rowdy section bdat... I think d senate should be scrapped, the underground money dis guys are sharing, should be used in reducing poverty in dis country

sunboy:
Regionalism is the way forward, it worked for us before, it can work again!

These money should go to the region instead of this bunch of parasites. In my whole life as an adult I have no witness what they spend their constituents money on in their respective constituency… with a big exception “Femi Gbajabiamila turned Surulere around” then I started to question… if he could do all that with his constituency allowance, why are others not doing the same. I can boldly say that he did more than even the local government.

This bunch of parasites sucking on the national wealth.. I don’t want to rant too much today.

Kay17:


Wasn’t it a Northerner that revealed the rot in the budget? What were the pure and clean Southern senators doing in a cesspit of corruption.

You tribalists act like a modern nation can survive with credible and independent institutions. As long as tribalism reigns supreme, the problem will always be the Other not corruption, poverty, lack of education, lack of democratic institutions.

LifeDrama:
You citizens should continue fighting yourselves online.

lexy2014:


hence, my questions...

1. what exactly should the southern senators stand their ground for?

2. which ground are they standing?
