Restructuring to confederation of 6 zones is what everyone has been asking for then let people chose what zones they want to belong to

Well said

I'm actually waiting for a Nigerian president to surprise me.

Like pretending you want the status quo of corruption to continue..... but when he enters, he quickly makes Nigeria to run a regional form of government.

I believe it's only a southerner that can do that.
Same here comrade. A regional form of government is the only solution to this mess. How they go in there and do the same thing over and over again and not even considering the ripple effects baffles me because the bed you poured glass on in the morning is what you will lay on at night.

U can't back this up with any claims ... Nigerians are among the most successful people in other countries ..in a working system it's obvious Nigerians are not the problem

Your thinking is that of a typical African ...u want people to just sit and decide from now I would be good , ...it has never happened before people are forced to behave

Why don't Nigeria break traffic laws outside or don't pay taxes they won't their because they know the system would catch them ...we see white people come to Nigeria and after awhile start acting like us

Allow people handle their affairs and grow at their own pace by the time for example yorubas gets it right then Igbo leaders would have to explain to Igbos why they cant get it right
I agree with you. We have been trying a thesame method with no improvement. Studying the flaws of the system a confederal system is the way to go. Why dont we try it out and see where it leads us. It could be the last effort to try if we can rescue the country on the path it is set out for and if it doesnt work we go our separate ways

No matter who becomes the next President of Nigeria, as long as that President operates under this apartheid constitution called the "1999 constitution", he or she is bound to fail, just like all others before

Nigeria is a bus, the passengers are the citizens, the buses engine is the constitution. But the passengers are far concerned about who the driver will be, than if the bus engine is even fit for purpose. Unfortunately, no matter how good a driver is, if the engine is bad, he won't get very far

A confederal system of government will actually force those who believe in "one Nigeria" to work for it, rather than pay it lip service and take it for granted.

The good thing about a confederal system of government is that the centre is weak, and confederating units strong, which kills off any cry of marginalisation. Everyone operates in their territory and work for the common good of all

The bad thing about confederation is that it is easy for any confederating unit to secede and breakaway, and this usually happens when one confederating unit feels that another unit wants to take over

Can confederation work in Nigeria? For it to work, the confederating units must forget this current idea of "one Nigeria by force" and adopt "One Nigeria by work". In other words, the unity of the confederation is based on all working together for the greater good

This current system of "we have no other country than Nigeria", "the unity of Nigeria is sacrosanct", "our unity is our diversity", "self determination is a crime", "Nigerias unity is non negotiable", "one Nigeria", are all complete nonsense

If you want unity, you must work for it, and if you cant work for it, admit the union is false and break up. Propping up a false union will only lead to years of internal conflict that will lead the union no where
Comrade you hit the needle on the head. You really understood my post and the whole idea of a confederal state. Yes the fact that it will make it easier for a section to break away is a good thing cause frankly the more we force the idea of a one Nigeria the more risky it is and could only propel us to another major conflict this time could be genocide. That will make other region work and grow at their own pace and this forced amalgamation will be a thing of the past. Put five men in a house, give each of them a room and the tools to work for themselves then you will see them grow and build together but put these same five men in a room and they'll kill themselves over who gets the bigger space. The signs are there, even if we should bring back Musa Yaradua, Abraham Lincoln or J.F Kennedy to lead the country he will still fail.

The way they re doing in Europ and some middle east countries like Israel.
OP let me tell you something in case you don't know nothing works in this country its like bamuder triangle you know why? 99% of people in this country are corrupt and crazy it will only be made public when individual are in power or we re given key(s) to money vaut with so many loop holes in our constitution to make them go Scot free with their atrocities.
Many are mad in this country but few are roaming.
Drop the Mic.
Yes nothing works in this country but we can't continue doing thesame thing and expect a different result. A federal system will only work in a country where those running it are free and fair and practice true nationalism. With the agitations of the igbos and the turmoil in the north a confederal system is our only chance

2023 Presidential election is a year away and as usual Nigeria politicians have started to remember the masses and what their jobs entails. from the usual photo with the market woman to carrying that malnourished baby and walking the street like the average Nigerian while they spent 3 years running the citizens to death and another 1 year campaigning but ignore the obvious problems that needs to be addressed. Erlier today I read on twitter that Bola Tinubu donated 50 million naira to victims of recent bandits attacks. Khadijah Okunnu-Lamidi has made known her intention to run for Presidency, Kingsley Moghalu is out again as well as several of them.
Niccolo Machiavelli said in his book The Prince, “It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles.” You see our leaders only worry about their pockets and power that they dont even know how to carry about their antics with flare and admiration. Terrorism in the north, highway kidnapping, high rate of poverty that crime now looks like the only way yet they cant get their head out of their diarrhea buttocks to fix the problem. Confederalsim.
A confederation is a system of government in which sovereign states delegate power to a central government for specific purposes. In the last 6 years the nation has never been divided from tribal conflicts especially the igbos agitation of Biafra, genocide on several northern tribes and the recent #Endsars saga and the ban of twitter 2023 election can either save us as a nation of spiral us down a path we cannot recover from. Grant the north, east, west and south autonomous power to decide economical, religious and security affairs within its territories but use the federal government to regulate trade between these regions and external relations. “There is no avoiding war, it can only be postponed to the advantage of your enemy.”-Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince. To the gluttons in power this might seem like giving away power to those they attempt to keep it away from but if only we had a student of The soft power theory and The Prince tactics we can actually pull this off. a confederal system to give control over internal challenges to those who for years have sought this kind of influence over their own affairs whereas the federal system keeps trade relations and cultural exchange within the people together and manage external relations. To some extent it will give the igbos autonomous power, give the south control over the oil trade, give the north the right to implement sharia law and give the west what they seek.
“The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.”

- Niccolo` Machiavelli.

I have never seen a confused generation like Southern Youths.

Some people who contributed are trekking

Some have not sent a kobo to their mums this year.

Some do not have a job.

It's a confused generation. Not sure of what they want.

That's why #EndSARS is also a misplaced priority.

When they should be asking for constitutional change/Restructure like Venezuela, Thailand, Hong kong and many other protesters around the globe. We have maintained the endsars protest even when it has outlived its usefulness.

My opinion
Cold zobo for you

Corporate2020:
Unskilled labourers who will be paid 20,000 Naira monthly. If not MC Oluomo, tell me, who is qualified to be part of the selection team? Don't the non-educated deserve to live? Well, if because you have a Masters or PhD degree you think, the illiterates should not eat once in a day, then know that when the poor have nothing to eat, they will come for the rich and average. That is what happened in Lagos during the last lock down.

Should the committee consists of professors, bank executives, medical doctors and other class professionals? These non-educated are ones that come out and vote when professionals are hiding behind their highly fenced mansions.
I agree here. The supposedly educated elites are fond of folding their hands and let the crumbs fall for them. The few who strive for more such as Okonjo-Iweala and Dora are the ones that make little impact

my chocolate cream soldier! L0ng time no see. No matter how Bale's Batman was meant to be grounded. S0me0ne who trained under the league of shadows is slow and subpar at fighting c0mm0n thugs. Well i guess that's why N0lan gave Batman throat cancer, to make him grounded. Hey, Batman's n0t all that fit. He is a cancer patient.
I get your point but his speed was affected by the bat suit. I didn't really dig the bat suits in Nolan verse. They were intimidating but were heavy for bale to move in. If you notice Ben affleck batman suit is made completely of normal fabrics which makes movement easy plus Ben really bulked up for the role. In my opinion Ben is the best on TV batman I've seen so far. However bale batman succeeded in achieving what no superhero movie till date have achieved,an academy award and it completely revolutionised the superhero genre. So my dear minemrys let's give credit where its due. He won't however work in a universe where he has to fight bad guys fast as gods

you people really need to learn what being a career lady is


a career lady may not always be busy, it is not every work that keeps you busy, a career lady may not even like fast food, I know a lot of people that will never eat from fast food except when they are in a place they can't cook


career lady is just a lady that wants to be successful from what she does, she might even do a stay at home job and be a career lady
The topic should have been a 8-6 lady not career lady. They don't know what career means.

Even though I like this lady, it doesn’t take away the fact that she isn’t as sophisticated as many people think she is.

She used absence to create a mystery about herself.

The more she talks, the more she demystifies herself undecided

By the way, that was a crass response to a thought provoking issue.

You start a weighty topic like this only to start blocking those who do not support your line of thought?
Exactly, I don't follow these out celebrities because they can't have an intelligent conversation, they even lack approach. American celebrities are trolled day and night and it's either you ignore or you argue constructively.

Sometimes I wonder when I see parents sending their kids to this glorified secondary school. For parents reading this and considering sending their kids to a private school I repeat abort, no one is good. Instead send your child outside the country. At the end she you see the unnecessary bills you'll pay aside the fees, the trip outside the country will be worthwhile

They both look like Childhood friends. I think they are happy atleast from the pics. Many young nairaland men do not understand the architecture of conjugation in marriages. They think its all the hollywood idea but fail to understand that happiness and sexual contentment in marriages is deeply rooted in friendship.

I laugh at these small nairalanders when they trash women of shapes and colors for their weight and stretches. I wonder what their future darling wives would be after three kids. Moreso, they forget they won't have total control over their wife's weight gain or loss or the stretches lined accross the stomach.

Low self esteem is often covered up in mockery and the desire to fall in line with a crowd.

#RichdadDarts
You need a fine wine for this. I look at men who criticize ladies with stretch marks and fat ladies as if it's a curse. They don't know what's waiting them after child birth grin.... I love ladies stretch marks, they've got a little tiger in them

You have no business playing Olamide and Wizkid at a church wedding.

You can play Timi Dakolo's songs like Iyawo Mi, Medicine or go old school with Sunny Neji and Paul Play.

Olamide and wizkid songs shouldn't be played at a wedding. They only talk booty and nonsense. Play those songs you recommend and some Ed Sheeran songs, Marc Anthony I need you can also be played

Armored Cars thrive in this country because of our politicians
I wonder too when some people ask me how I identify Armored vehicles on the road. In addition, you may not really be able to identify armored vehicles with the features the OP listed depending on the armor integrity of such vehicle.

It has always been a great experience for me driving armored vehicles, there is luxury, comfort, security and many more in it. I currently drive B8 armored integrity vehicles, Suburban, LX570 just to mention a few but I've come to realize there's really no point riding in armored vehicles if you don't have additional security escorts because all the security components of these vehicles can be compromised.

Ask me how, it takes someone who knows their principles of operation to compromise them easily, though they are been improved on daily with additional security measures but in a case when you are been pursued or trying to escape attack (assassination or kidnap) Evasive and Defensive driving isn't that effective without additional escorts to shake off trails off you. No matter how strong an armored vehicle is, there a limit of ammunition and bombardment it can withstand.
Reminds me of Captain America civil war, Samuel L Jackson armoured car could not withstand everything and so gave way, no armoured vehicle is completely secured, some the windows are not as solid as the body
