Politics › Re: Nnamdi Kanu: The Rights And Benefits Of Honorary US Citizenship by AndroBlaze: 9:45pm On Jan 24

Is this post really needed? Why can't people use their heads anymore?

So you mean, people that can "read and write" will hear that a mere "state" gave someone citizenship of a country and accept it?

Or can he be a citizen of just Georgia alone?Or does Georgia have it own passport that I am not aware of?

So now, if I want to become a citizen of UK I should go and beg the mayor of London to give me honorary citizenship? Why has he not done that for all of his Pakistani brothers already?

Which also mean Yorubas and Northners can make all their ethnic cousins in neighbouring countries Nigerians by getting their governors or even LG chairmen to offer them citizenship.

Just to make it clear (because we know where you people will go next), even Donald Trump cannot unilaterally make someone a citizen of his country, it is not within his power.

Kanu is already a citizen of the UK, and that already is one of the most powerful passports and citizenships in the world, no need to invent more fairytales....chai.

I have been pay the same amount for mortgage for the last 10 years
Egg was $6 per dozen last year, today it’s about $4 per dozen
Rice has been about $8 for 12lbs at Costco for over 5 years.
So what exactly are you insinuating?

Oga, stop being clever by half, and tell us what the prices were in 2016, simple

Imagine comparing mortgage and gas payments, knowing that one is practically fixed in nature and the other Nigerians were being subsidized for donkey years living fake life..... I mean it's crystal clear you people really think everyone needs to switch of their brains because we want criticse without being analytical.

Going back to eggs and using AI to try and have an unbiased discussion:

a dozen in Nigeria in 2016 was at worst $1.4

a dozen in Nigeria in 2026 is at worst $2.12

Notice the global co-relation.

franchasng:
The summary of your comment is that Aguiyi Ironsi reduced the power of the regional governments to give him more control but he never abolished regional government completely.

When you abolish something, you replace it with another.

It was Gowon that abolished the regional system and replaced it with States by creating the 12 states.

Ironsi never abolished regional system, he only made decree 34 to unify civil service, abolish political parties as a way of having more control as a military head of state that was never elected by the people of Nigeria.

Gowon then abolished the regional system and replaced it with 12 states.

This is how it should be put and not lying against Ironsi and Igbos by claiming Ironsi abolished regional system whereas Nigeria still had regional Governors under Ironsi.

Like as it is since 1999, Nigeria still operates 3 tier of government, namely; Local Government, State Government and Federal Government. But at some point, Governors usurped the powers of the Local Government Chairman, but they never abolished LGA, and now Tinubu came and trying to empower LGA again. If LGAs were abolished completely before Tinubu came to power, there is no way he could have started process of strengthening LGA autonomy again.

So if Gowon didn't create states and left the regional system as it was with Regional Governors or leaders not having much control or power, a time will come a President will emerge and empower the regional governments again unlike what we have today.

So my point is, people should stop blaming Ironsi as being the person that abolished regional system of government because he was not, it was Gowon that abolished regional governments and replaced them with the 12 states he created. That's my point

No, you are wrong, and again choosing to miss the point.

It was Ironsi that introduced Unitary system of government in independent Nigeria, where the center holds more power than constituent parts over every day citizens, this had not been the case before.

For the sake of clarity, he abolished regions and changed the suffix to provinces. More importantly he ensured that ultimate power was moved further away from the people to a dominant centre where only one person ( or interest , or ethnicity) gets to dictate everything, this had never been the case in Nigeria before.

Before he came, to a typical Westerner, Northerner or Easterner, their leader (who actually affected their life) was not Balewa. The people who made the decisions that affected their day to day life was Bello in the North, Awo (through Akintola) in the West, the NCNC cabal (through Okpara and Osadebey) in the East and later mid-west.

True power in the West lied in Ibadan, in the North it lied in Kaduna, in the East it lied in Enugu and Midwest Benin....Lagos (the FCT) did not matter to 95% of Nigerians. The average man's loyalty was to his region, and not Nigeria.

This was the situation Ironsi changed and to be fair to him a lot of intellectuals (dominated by southerners obviously) felt it was the way to go.

He initiated the paradigm shift, that lasts till today where the center dominates and your president affects your life more than your governor. In fact when Gowon came, the 12 states he created were far stronger than the wish washy Provinces Ironsi left. If he hadn't balkanised Ojukwu's province, he might have been a bit calmer with his plans on secession.

Also, going back to Ojukwu....please tell all of us what Ojukwu was demanding for in Aburi? Did he demand they go back to Ironsi Unitary style (where Gowon would make all the decisions) or that they go back to a more region-oriented pre-Military style?

In fact he even advocated a looser confederation, 100% what Awolowo had advocated in the 50's where each region would get back their civil service and be able to secede. This was even supported by Bello and the NPC then, only for Mr Nigeria, Zik of Africa, to disagree and side with the British to ensure it would never happen.

My brother, you are intelligent, stop trying to rewrite history. Ironsi was not fully to blame for his mistakes, neither was Gowon fully to blame for the civil war (don't forget he had agreed to all the conditions set at Aburi himself).....but just like in the Bible, those hiding under people's cloaks to wield the true power, saw their interests weren't served and pushed the "leaders" to do their bidding.

It is a tale as old as time and still happening till now.

This is a recent publication by people who never participated in the events of that era that just want to write what they feel or believe happened and not really what happened based on facts I have given you and will still state below.

I asked you, if Ironsi truly abolished Regional system, can you tell me why he still went ahead to appoint Military Governors for all the four regions of Nigeria who oversaw the affairs of the four regions?

Can you also tell me why he didn't create states?

Have you ever read the full content of decree no 34 of Ironsi that history rewriters blamed as what abolished regional governments in Nigeria?

Decree 34 was mainly to unify civil service and abolish political parties which was normal for every military that seized power in any nation then and even now.

Use your critical thinking not what someone typed.

Did Ironsi abolish regional governments? Answer is NO because he still appointed regional Governors for each of the four regions of Nigeria which I already named for you.

Did Ironsi create states to replace regions with states? The answer is NO!

Did Gowon create states and replaced regions with states? Answer is YES!

Ironsi died in Ibadan as part of his official tour around the four regions of Nigeria. The man that abolished regional governments was officially touring the four regions as part of his national peace and reconciliation tour. Yet they claimed he abolished regional governments but he was arrested at the official residence of Western Region Governor Fajuyi in Ibadan, can't you see the lies and the contradictions?

Can't you see the simple analysis with proof or you prefer some written hogwash by some people who just want to write?

Your write-up suggests that you already understand the reality of the situation, but are choosing to be clever by half.

It really shouldn’t require a long response, because your replies make it fairly clear that you’re being deliberately crafty, but I’ll spell it out anyway.

Ironsi effectively became the de facto “king” of Nigeria — something the young nation had never experienced before, and something a particular section of the country had long been quietly advocating for “under the table”, as a supposed solution to the inefficiencies they blamed for Nigeria’s backwardness.

Prior to Ironsi’s seizure of power, Nigeria was governed through a delicate political agreement that required the cooperation of at least two of the three dominant regional parties — North & East, or North & (traitorous) West. Although Balewa was Prime Minister from day one, everyone understood that the real power lay with Ahmadu Bello, who controlled the party with the largest number of seats. Even so, Bello could never have dreamed of wielding the level of centralised authority that Ironsi later exercised over Nigeria.

You downplay the unification of the civil service as if it were a minor administrative matter. But who actually runs a country? Is it politicians and military leaders issuing directives, or the civil service — the machinery that implements policy on a day-to-day basis? That question has long been settled, and even the Bible makes the answer clear.

To give a more recent and concrete example: we all recently witnessed the richest man in Africa locked in open conflict with a public servant, battling him by every means necessary to keep his business afloat — despite the President openly supporting the refinery as a national solution to fuel scarcity, lower prices, and foreign exchange savings.

Did this public servant — like his predecessors before him — not understand that he was merely an appointee expected to carry out the will of his political superiors? And yet subsequent revelations showed that he was effectively operating independently, amassing wealth that only sitting governors could rival. One public servant.

In the less corrupt Nigeria of the 1960s, the reality of who controlled day-to-day governance was not fundamentally different.

Ahmadu Bello recognised this very early, which is why his often-quoted statement — that he would rather hire a foreign expatriate than an “Igbo” into the Northern public service — is so telling. This was at a time when Easterners were already making inroads across all three regions. That statement alone should tell you how consequential the unification of the civil service was, and why it alarmed the section of the country that was educationally and culturally disadvantaged, and unable to compete on merit. Ambition, after all, was never encouraged as part of the Northern identity prior to the creation of Nigeria.

Now to answer your question directly: the military governors Ironsi appointed over the new “provinces” were little more than security officers and desk administrators. They could not make policy in the way that previous premiers did. They did not control a civil service or revenue streams. Major decisions on education, health, and governance had to be referred back to the Supreme Military Council. Infrastructure wasn’t even theirs to debate.

In short, they were largely figureheads, something the premiers of the original regions were never as they were literally rulers. Anyway this model was replicated by most subsequent military governments — which also explains why corruption under military rule tends to be less dispersed. The military is, by nature, a unitary institution.

This Alaafin is very annoying, in fact extremely annoying.....

.....however, just the way I supported the Ooni in their tussle, I cannot support rewriting our properly handed down history of over 300-400 years and aceeding to anything that suggests the traditional ruler in Ibadan ( whose recent history and foundation is 100% known to all ) should take precedence over Alaafin ( whose predecessors almost singlehandedly united our very diverse peoples into one strong identity).

It should feel wrong to any traditionalist and the first Baale of Ibadanland would probably be ashamed of this.

Next thing you know you people will be saying the Lekki Kings (Oniru and Elegushi) should be the paramount rulers in Lagos State because both their territory and the Kings are richer.

A Black Conservative Woman is like a farmer trying to grow crops in a DESERT by first nuking it.
It makes ZERO sense.

Same here.

I mean I agree with her on this but her "trying too hard" (coconut syndrome) will always come out and make her look silly and ridiculous.

I mean how can anyone who understands the British (and even European) mentality say these words in this way:

"We tell children what to do all the time. Children are not adults. Freedom is for adults "

Again, I kind of agree with the premise of this, but it's just like me being foolish enough to openly say "I believe a woman should always be under a man" or "I am homophobic".... I could believe it, but I obviously don't need to go around and be screaming it so coarsely from the rooftop.

A lot of weak politicians are trying to copy Trump with plain speak that they believe will appeal to the masses but it is very un-British-like and looked down on to actually say what is on your mind.

It is something you grow to understand and appreciate when you live among them .... how she doesn't understand this till now is a reflection of her actual intelligence.
