Shakara don end.. I only pity the ignorant ones dancing behind him.
He says he's still awaiting the CTC of judgement of SC yet he hurriedly ordered the LG Chairmen to hand over but foot dragging on presenting the budget to Amaewhule. Do you think you're smart?




-Kiss the truth!

Did you see amaewhule's name there?

Economic benefits of the building?

sylve11:
Then Lagos would have 5 states.

and it'll shrink to half-state every December?

Unbelief is a sin!

Free2Fly:
Which leg is free and not stiff??

You're confusing it with that of the bike rider

oh I've seen it.

Why is the corpse's legs free and not stiff?

Harsh and biased!

Peacecore:
Can you screenshot of the constitution where affidavit is one of the procedures in defection? If affidavit is everything, then one can also go and get an affidavit to exonerate of crime and it stands.

if affidavit is not a procedure, why did they swear to it?

You already ordered them to resume sitting. I don't understand.

Counterigbolies:
then what will u say about rufai that guest had to tell him to let them talk?

Rufai that insulted guest on live TV simply because he called obi a fraud that he is

U Igbos can't just handle d truth, rufai will get tired of licking Igbo ass someday

you have only asked me what I have to say about Rufai. It means you have not made any accusations against him. Abati insults colleagues and has countless times made demeaning remarks about his guests based on their qualifications. He obviously feels too big to be a journalist. It called arrogance. I don't know what your sickening mention of Igbo has to do with it. He is either sent back to learn the ethnics of the job or shown the way.

Speak of pun.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
Dr.Abati in his usual humours should have simply apologized to the igbos from Ojy first,over his comical misconstrued jestures if he doesn't things won't be same again for him,because he will lose many of his fans worldwide

He is arrogant and not exactly humorous.

Make sure the first four citizens of the country join in the inaugural flight.

lol. Wicked Wike on the beat.

No be who first call police dey win case.

That Twitter thread was really an eye opener to the Yorubas on what the silent majority think of them.

alcaptainero:
In court today, our lawyers filed a counter affidavit, stating that a similar matter is already before the Supreme Court for judgment. However, the lawyers representing Opobo Judas argued that the judge should proceed with the case.

In his wisdom, the judge ruled that he cannot assume powers or share jurisdiction with the Supreme Court. Consequently, he adjourned the case to April 30, 2025.

Once the Supreme Court delivers its judgment, all related matters will naturally come to an end.

which case at the supreme court?
This is the only case about the defection of the pro wike guys that is before a court of competent jurisdiction.

Delusional map. Igbos do not share historical ties with Yoruba. Even the Edo whom the Igbos share some history with would be controversial to add in an Igbo dominated country, except you'll need to slice off Esan into Biafra which I wouldn't recommend therefore, anything beyond Anioma is a no no in the northwest Biafra. Anything beyond Idoma, Igalamela, ofu, idolu etc in the northeast Biafra is a no no.

I recommend Igbo + Lower Igala + Idoma + Efik + Ibibio + central Delta (Ibani kalabari Okirika etc) + Ogoni + Ijaw. This should be okay for us.

Yorubas can run along. They should embrace self determination for once and quit blackmail and reverse psychology.

gidgiddy:
We can talk about restructuring model, but restructuring will never happen. The North is totally against it

depends on the will of the person on the seat now.

The best thing that would've happened to Ukraine was to join the EU but remain neutral and also oppose any form of the so called European army. That would've made the country even more prosperous than Russia while enjoying the goodwill and respect of its neighbours.

I just bumped on this thread. It seems some people are reading it because this is what is currently happening.

Noneroone do you think the Idoma /Igede and Igbos of Benue who will form Apa state will prefer Central or Southern region over Eastern region? Currently many of them I know prefer to be in the south east.

Mynd44 Nlfpmod fergie001 this kind of intellectually engaging thread never makes frontpage.

It will affect them. Airtel could take advantage.

Amah70:
I had to repeat the disadvantages of making an Anioma state become the 6th state for the southeast so that they will sink into the brains of people like you of 'give us Biafla or death." You lot foolishly believe that making Anioma become the sixth state for the southeast shall increase your war chest for restoration of Biafra. Senator Ned Woko has been exploiting the ignorance of your lot in his campaign for Anioma state.

there is no single disadvantage you mentioned except you didn't pass through school to know what disadvantage implies. It's just curses, abuses and over exploitation of the Biafran blackmail. Borrow sense and get a life.

Amah70:
Only a stupeeed or dishonest Igbo selling snake oil would not accept the fact that making Anioma become the sixth state for the southeast is a subtraction from the existing political representation index of people of the southeast at the federal government level, as well as diminishing the gains of democracy for the Igbos of southeast origin.
Stop writing your nonsense epistle. They interest only the Ned Nwokos who want to exploit the uninitiated Igbos of the southeast.

yea... You have stretched your brain to it narrow limit. No reason or logic whatsoever. Just repetition and abuses.

Edygrin:
No Anioma State?

it is being initiated from the senate not HOR.

Amah70:
You don't increase political representation for the southeast people by bringing in Anioma people for an Anioma state for the southeast. You actually decrease political representation of the people of the southeast by bringing people in Anioma as a sixth state for the southeast. Do the Maths please.
As for political influence, there shall be no added influence for the southeast by making Anioma as sixth state for the southeast. Rather, a sixth state carved from the present southeast shall increase the political/electoral influence of the southeast. Do the Maths as well. Ned Nwoko has been exploiting the ignorance of some uninitiated Igbos in the southeast.

you should not go the route of technicality and calculation since either you are being mischievous or comprehension seems not to be your fort.

Politics is guided by interest, and a group bound by common values always share common interest. The bigger such group is, the stronger and more power it'll have to bargain for its interest. If such group is fragmented and carved each into larger distinct groups, their interest will be subsumed to that of the respective dominant groups. For instance, if you have a majority and minority group in a state or region, the minority group in the state will only increase the bargaining power of the dominant group without catering for its own specific interests, talk more of the interest of its kinds scattered across different political boundaries also as minorities. It is this type of gerrymandering that the British used to increase the influence of the Hausa/Fulani while diminishing the influence of Igbo and Yoruba. This is why you have something called "divide and conquer"

Creating six states within southeast will increase political representation but will not boost the economic and political bargaining influence of the region by increasing its resources and population omlike Anioma will do.

Do not let your petty clannish gains override the collective Igbo interest.

Amah70:
Glad you said southeast needs new state.
Anioma is in southsouth.

TO HAVE COMMENSURATE POLITICAL REPRESENTATION IN THE NASS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTHEAST IS REASON WHY THEY ASK FOR EXTRA STATE FOR THE SOUTHEAST. IT IS NOT FOR BRINGING ALL IGBOS OUTSIDE THE SOUTHEAST TO BELONG TO THE SOUTHEAST.

You don't get the "memo" do you?. The report recommendation says New state for the southeast not a new state in the southeast. Getting more territory in to the southeast will not only increase representation like creating from within it will do but also increasing the overall influence of the region.

The only one not listed here (Anioma) is the one that'll be created.

God1000:
His own business

But FG will not create just one state, so many people are clamoring for their own state including my state as well.

We need Agba state in Benue

2006 national political reform conference and 2014 confab both recommended an additional state for the southeast. This is what Anioma are taking advantage of. If they miss the chance, they might never get their own state.
