But through adoption of unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws, leaders of the 12 northern sharia states started to divide Nigeria.
Leaders of north also started to divide Nigeria when they used northern military dictators to proliferate 20 new political units in northern Nigeria, allowed only 17 new political units in the two southern regions.
North is over represented in NAAS. Too many states were created in northern Nigeria. That gave rise to too many legislators for northern Nigeria at the NASS. What is NASS restructuring?
Stop deceiving yourselves.
Get a National Conference with members equally drawn from the 3 regions that formed Nigeria to restructure Nigeria politically.
zukky79: A trailer transporting an airplane causes heavy traffic gridlock in Edo. The plane which has its wings cut off is said to be coming from Lagos on its way to Abuja. Officials of the FRSC and NPF were on ground trying to direct the traffic.
My question here is this; since it's apparently a scrap plane, why not fully dismantle it before transporting it? Why put Nigerians through the pains of being stuck in traffic on a highway for hours just because of a scrap plane. Abi them wan go refurbish the plane?
Even Federal Road Safety Commission people condoning this?
There are set length and width of cargo a vehicle can carry on the road unless approval obtained earlier and preceded by escort vehicle and followed by escort vehicle.

Is this not Medicine after death? Referendum is the topical issue, not petrol. Petrol in the Niger Delta impoverished Nigerians, enriched oyibo and only a few Nigerians
Rugaria: Actually, by getting married to one of your loaquacious types, all she did was to help improve a re-tarded gene-pool... Culturally, you guys have always been the igbo man's burden...
If not divided Yoruba who do not know what they really want but serving as bridge between the north and east of Nigeria, what could make Fulani overshadow the Igbo in Nigeria?
saaphiere: Onyeka Onwenu, an ace singer and actress, says she would ditch the south-west for her homeland if Nigeria breaks up.
Onwenu spoke on Tuesday during a virtual pre-book launch briefing ahead of the release of ‘My Father’s Daughter’, her memoir, billed for October 1.
The 68-year-old movie star, who is married to a Yoruba Muslim, said her decision would be due to her commitment to contribute to the development of the south-east, which she said, had been marginalised for long.
The human right activist cum politician recalled once joking with her sister-in-law, who is also a Muslim, that she would leave her children for “Biafra” if the country splits.
“If that happens (referring to Nigeria breaking up), I will go back to the south east because I want to go back home. And even if we don’t split, I want to do so much in the south east,” she said.
“So, I am not afraid…nothing spoil, nothing lost, we’re still going to love each other.”
Onwenu went on to enjoin those from the south-east to try and invest in the region, adding that such collective will is crucial to development within that part of the country.
“We have neglected the south-east and I am telling every Igbo person that whatever they are doing outside the region, they should go home and invest,” she added.
“It doesn’t take away whatever you are doing in Lagos or Abuja or wherever else…you are free to live where you like and trade but remember back home. We have been marginalised for a very long time, we are in need of development.
“We are going to develop other people’s places because that is what we do. But we must not forget that our investments are needed at home.”
Using her marriage as a reference, the music star also enjoined every Nigerian to uphold the country’s unity.
“We should stop insulting and denigrating each other. We are blessed with the richness of our culture,” she added.
She revealed that her forthcoming book, which contains over 450 pages, will examines aspects of her life which are hitherto unknown to the public.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0LrRVm8kko I married an Igbo guy from Orlu Imo State. It's only pidgin English I know, most of the girls attacking me for speaking pidgin English are married to Nigerians as well. One girl just slide into my dm saying that my family will be so ashamed of me with the way I'm speaking pidgin English on social network especially your grown son must be ashamed to have you as a mother, what has my speaking pidgin got to do with my son Lolo Ifunanya as she's known on social media questions. My children can do better than most you the kids of the ladies attacking me. My kids are igbos and pidgin English is part of them. I'm not stupid for speaking pidgin English some of you that are born igbos and other tribes in Nigeria but you dislike everything in Nigeria isn't that stupid? That's so stupid for me. You people will dislike everything in Nigeria but every weekend you be looking for Nigerians. This is real madness. "Some times I really don't blame all those black guys that can never last with Oyibo because Oyibo pride too high abeg, which kind nonsense be all these one" you will be having kids, getting married to Nigerians but you would dislike everything about them, that's why some black men cannot last with Oyibo exactly because of this, after getting married to Oyibo, Oyibo ladies will leave them, they will go back to the villages after getting better Igbo babe, Oyibo pride too high
Associating Rochas to Orlu is a mistake. Happy birthday to Sen Rochas, however.
Rochas neglected Orlu and its infrastructures to decay. He multiplied the development gap between Owerri and Orlu by 100% against Orlu in eight years as governor. As senator, he told his colleagues that he should be called Senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, not senator for Orlu zone.
He has no pin of business property or landed properties in Orlu as he challenged people of Owerri to name anyone from Owerri who invested more than him in Owerri.
As governor, he told anyone who cared to listen: “I am developing our dear state capital city, Owerri, to international standard.” Orlu decayed.
Abagworo: I guess Peter Obi did it in Agulu and Ngige did it in Alor. Nonsense and ingredients. Eastern Palm University Ogboko which is Rochas Hometown is the best structured University in the entire Southeast and probably South-south.
Owerri and Gov Uzodinma can’t allow Eastern Palm University be a government university, but Eastern Palm University cannot be a private university because it was built when Rochas was governor. You see how the university came to be for naught. Hope Uzodinma fights his enemies till the end of the world, doesn’t think twice.
SmartProf: A detective who cannot detect a failed party must likely be a plate washer in the U.S detective organization.
APC, Failed Party?
Has APC also failed in its capacity to use armed forces to determine who wins election, or failed in use of the Supreme Court to rewrite the will of the voters?
Disregard the US threat to sanction election riggers in Nigeria. In 2023, it shall be do-or-die for APC.
Okorocha’s loss in joining APC is breathtaking. He knows that. Today, he regrets why he sold the people’s mandate of APGA to APC. If Okorocha had remained in APGA, built APGA to capture more states, that would have made easier his desire to become President of Nigeria.
Okorocha, APC schemed out your bid to succeed yourself as governor through your son-in-law.
Since then, you lost every eye service edifices you built in your state capital for public attraction to support you in your bid to succeed President Buhari.
Even the multi billion Naira worth university which your government built in your hometown, is also abandoned by your APC. Today, hardly any passable road exists in your hometown area.
If you had not sold the people’s mandate of APGA to APC without consulting the electorate who gave you the APGA mandate..
ebukajay184: Edo 2020: Everyone Wear Your Jeans Trouser, Protect Your Votes (Video)

In a video captured by IgbereTV, Governor Wike is seen asking the people of Edo to put on their jeans trouser and get ready to protect and follow their votes, until the result is announced.
BluntNigerian: Had it been that INEC uploaded All the results from all the Polling-unit-levels, All the Collated Results From all the Ward-levels, and All the Collated Results From all the Local-Government-levels to their Results-Viewing Portal, there would not be need for worrying about anything called “Replaced Results” which were supposedly manufactured by the INEC officials, because all the genuine original results are already there in the eyes of the public.. .. But corruption would not let them do the right thing. It's a big pity.
It’s because the APC govt which nominated INEC officials, does not believe in democracy. That’s why we can not, and may never, under APC government, have the simple things done by INEC - simple thing like every polling station upload it’s voting results undersigned by party agents and police, to INEC online server for storage and reach of everyone interested.
Awol1: Madam Ugwuanyi is moving many thinks to Nsukka.
When Ezeagu person comes, he will move his own.
Then Ekweremadu from Awgu side will movie to Awgu and Nkanu side.
When somebody from Oji River comes, he will move his own.
And so the circle continues until the city is empty.
Onye apari!
But that’s how it’s supposed to be if in the past everything was wrongly concentrated in state capital.
In Imo state, they have refused to remove things that were wrongly located in the state capital because Imo politicians settle in state capital with their families.
Enugu politicians get head to understand that other parts of Enugu state must have projects to induce development in them.
