We do have leaders who are capable and progressive but the current system excludes such people from smelling seat of power. What I am saying, if Nigeria dissolve under the current system, the same set of leaders we have would be inherited. If you, I and any other Northern Nigerian believe that we would be better off under an independent nation, then certainly, it is better we start educating our local people, plan for it, and fight for it. However, a system that is capable of returning Kwankoso as Gov of Kano State after disastrous 4 years as Gov and 4 years as defence minister is not worth to inherit.

Tsiya:
Believe is not reality. We believed for a very long time that we would be a great Nation, and the reality is proving contrary. Unless there is already a movement with principle personalities and progressive minded that clamoured for independence, what you would have is hijacking of the new governments by the present elites.

A very good look at our people in the north, one know that it would take more than just independence to spur us into action of abandoning the present set of leaders, or even the system for more competent people.

Good analysis here, hopefully Nigeria remains one and we are able to vote in good leaders.

A state of emergency is a governmental declaration that may suspend some normal functions of the executive, legislative and judicial powers, alert citizens to change their normal behaviours, or order government agencies to implement emergency preparedness plans. It can also be used as a rationale for suspending rights and freedoms, even if guaranteed under the constitution. Such declarations usually come during a time of natural or man made disaster, during periods of civil unrest, or following a declaration of war or situation of international or internal armed conflict. Justitium is its equivalent in Roman law.

In some countries, the state of emergency and its effects on human rights and freedoms and governmental procedure are regulated by the constitution and/or a law that limits the powers that may be invoked. Rights and freedoms may be suspended during an emergency, for instance, freedom of movement, but not non-derogable rights.[1] In many countries it is illegal to modify the emergency law or the constitution during the emergency.

And your suggestion is for Jonathan sit down behind a laptop and type like you do all day ?

Beaf:
Maybe you are missing the most crucial info the emergency conveys. It is that if boko haram is dreaming of a war, large parts of their territory has now been captured even before the firing of the first shot; even more, it ensures that their territory will be the theatre of any sponsored war the wish to fight, regardless if their sponsors are powerful Middle Eastern coutries. GEJ's move is a blindingly strategic masterstroke on several fronts.

manny4life:
If you cannot effectively handle security lapses "administratively", then resort to FIRE. Operation kill any "Northern Muslim that fits the profile of BOKOS, I'm sure SSS or whichever agency has a working profile. While you're at it, employ several strategies, you don't talk nor command WEAK but authoritatively. The so-called Northern Elite know about this, so why hasn't he devised a strategy against them? If this will split Nigeria up, SO BE IT.

frosbel:
I agree with you and painfully so, it is just not fair on you guys and those innocent ones who died but it is time for the Muslims to gather and root out these devils from their midst.
