black9jaberry:It's quite disheartening really when grown and educated folks begin to act like stupid uneducated folks. Some uneducated people even reason rationally than most of these people. Instead of them to address the issue being raised by the association, they start typing all sorts of rubbish and that tells of one thing, bad education. I join you in weeping for the Nigerian youths. The future is indeed bleak with these set of youths. |

Why We Must Restructure Nigeria By National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) Public discourse in Nigeria in the past one year, at least, has been largely dominated by the idea of “restructuring”: from political gatherings to places of worship; from print to the broadcast media; from market squares to ivory towers; from airport lounges to motor parks; and from legislative houses to protest marches – calls for and against the restructuring of the Nigerian project have reverberated with striking and often alarming persistence. The restructuring idea has received various interpretations among both its proponents and its opponents, including as a call for such initiatives as the devolution of political power from the Federal Government to the States or indeed to regions, fiscal federalism, public control of the economy, a change in the system of government and even a return to pre-1914 Nigeria. Whatever the exact meaning of this newfound Nigerian buzzword, and it is not the intention of the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) to get bogged down in an effort to define it with any precision, we consider ourselves duty-bound to draw attention to various critical issues about today’s Nigeria that should have a direct impact on the main restructuring debate. There is little or no disagreement among Nigerians and students of Nigerian history about the fact that from either the amalgamation in 1914 or independence in 1960 to the present, the Nigerian project has not been particularly successful. Judged by reference to such indices as gross domestic product per capita, infant mortality, life expectancy, literacy, physical and social infrastructure, cost of governance, and public-sector efficiency, the Nigerian experiment has, for the most part, proven an unmitigated failure. For this singular reason, the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) is of the firm view that urgent and radical measures are required to rescue Nigeria from impending disaster. We are resolute in our belief that rationality and good conscience demand the restructuring of any polity that: 1. obscenely rewards political office holders who “served” for only 4 or 8 years, with hundreds of millions of Naira in lifetime pensions and free housing, while retired civil servants who sacrificed as long as 35 years of their lives in the service of the nation, slump and sometimes die, on endless queues, waiting for paltry pension receipts that they cannot be sure will ever come. 2. An educational system that brazenly demands from one pupil a score of up to 130 points while requiring from his or her classmate a mere 4 points to qualify for the next class, solely on the basis of their different ethnic backgrounds, certainly needs to be restructured. 3. A federation in which the Federal Government exclusively controls the making of laws and policy in relation to a 68-item Excusive Legislative List, while sharing powers with State Governments in relation to a 24-item Concurrent Legislative List, requires restructuring. 4. A federal state in which officials of the federating units embark on a monthly pilgrimage to the seat of the central government in order to collect funding and occasional subventions (without making much of an effort to grow their respective subnational economies) is surely a good candidate for restructuring. It is our considered opinion that these, and many other manifestations of structural imbalance, are not only major impediments to the socioeconomic development of Nigeria, but also the major triggers of the increased tension and restiveness across the country. We, therefore, join in the various calls on the federal government to pay heed to the urgent need for a structured and democratic response to the clamour for a redressing of the imperfections in the structure and style of our country and its governments, in the interest of a more united, prosperous and peaceful Nigeria.

The fact that Fayose think himself worthy of a Presidential candidate is quite disheartening. Oh, he thinks those his camera antics of cutting ponmo and playing ludo with truck drivers will get him our votes? If Fayose is the best PDP can come up with, they had better stay off the 2019 election cos they'd be massively floored. 7 Likes |

I'm impressed bro and I've learned something new on nairaland today. Don't judge a book by what you hear people say about it, pick up the book and go through it yourself to know the content and just because people give a good review about a book doesn't mean it will make an interesting read.

Pets / Re: Issue Resolved Between Myself And Prodeegee by Acheron: 12:23pm On Aug 11, 2017 |
Please the OP is justified and nobody should try to make him look stup1d because of their closeness to the Pro guy. Yes, wunmi made some careless mistakes but that's partly because of the trust he has in ProDgee to take good care of his dog. For God sake, he paid the guy almost 30k for it including transport or whatever. The dog is dead but where is the pictorial evidence to back it up. For all we know, the dog may have been sold to a willing buyer or even with Prodgee and his guy. Pls let's not sit down and let common sense be turn on its head, if you pick up an healthy dog, it's only proper you do your best to return an healthy dog even if it's going to cost you and I believe that if the dog was taken to a vet and you show the owner proof that you're making efforts on his sick dog, he would have supported you with some money. The dog once miscarriaged but didn't die, how come it's when she's with a self-acclaimed know-it-all-when-it-comes-to-canines the dog now die from miscarriage complications. Wunmi, I'm sure you've learned your lessons, trust nobody. Everybody is out to make money, twas pure business for Progdee. Just move on and leave everything to God. 6 Likes |

ismokeweed:Bro, this is a public forum so pls let's try and be civil. I can tell you're educated so I expect you to be able to dig out information on things you know nothing about. Go to NAS official website and read about the confraternity. You probably might be judging NAS based on what you saw during your university days but I assure you that those on your university campus are illegals and NAS has nothing to do with them. I've said enough but pls, research on your own and be properly informed. www.nas-int.org Thanks |
