Oga/madam, your assertion is what unfortunate and unmarried ladies you to console themselves. The place you call "contemporary" honor and respect marital union more than anything. Get married dear

Dottore:
I tell you most solemnly, you don't know the angst and secret pain an unmarried lady in her 30s passes through let alone the ones being experienced by the ones in their mid 30s and above..

The pain is more when they come across their married mates, the pain is even worsened when they encounter their younger folks who are married with kids

Do u know that even the ones that married in their mid 30s are well aware of how their skin and body are less attractive when compared to ladies in their 20s not to talk of the fact that they are still apprehensive over their ability to conceive.
Compare the laps and arms of any lady in her 30s with the ones in their 20s and you'd understand what I'm talking about.

Forget about the social media smiles and so called feminist propagandists. These ladies are going through emotional hell.

Only gynecologists, priests, spiritualist, pastors and prophets can relate to this.

Lagos

Kaduna
Benin city. In terms of structure

Bear in mind Edo state is the least funded state in south south.

To put that into perspective, delta, bayelsa receives 3x what Edo receives

... the Nigerian youths shd stand up and chart a pathway for this country to sustain itself..

Njeps:
I am telling you.
This one China is building electric (tesla) cars.
I know some will say, when will it flood Nigeria,.

But just see how China will subsidize to push high volume sales,
or how electric tokunbo cars will flood the country, (only then will u realize that China and Japan have been using Tesla cars for over 20 years) while we think its just 2 - 5 years ago

wirinet:
Forget oil. You guys seem obsessed with oil. Only the political elites benefits from oil, the ordinary Fukani, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Tivi, etc, man does not benefit of care about oil. It was only recently (with the anmesty) programme that some ordinary Niger delta youths benefited anything from oil sales.

The north cannot separate from Nigeria even if oil if found in the north because of;
1. Access to the sea. They will not want to be landlocked.
2. Climate Change; The desert is accelerating south, the lake Chad has dried out and their agricultural livelihood is threatened.

The igbos shouting separation will be the worse adversely affected in terms of separation.
They would need to FORCE the old eastern minorities to secede with them because if not;
1. They will be landlocked
2. The igbos have very little oil and most of the oil reside with minority tribes.
3. The igbos are also suffering serious environmental issues like erosion.
4. The core Igbo landmass is very tiny.

Igbos building a country with eastern minorities will only make the new country a mini Nigeria with only one major ethnic group. The minorities will be in a continuous struggle to avoid Igbo domination. This was the situation in the East Pre and even post independence.

MetaPhysical:
I encountered this question before and gave input. I will post it here again.

The trick is contained in the events between 1861 and 1914, a period of 53 years.

I dont have time to post the Treaties between England and the Coastal Kings, but the language of these treaties gave unlimited access and unfettered proxy powers to the invaders to act in their discretion of what is best practice to defend and protect our Kings and their domains.

The Treaties they fraudulently obtained at gun point from our Kings they took them as legal contracts binding on both sides. In some of them they said they were invited to defend and protect.

So in 1914 their action was taken in discretion of what is best for the peoples of Nigeria and will promote their well being....whether the people themselves saw it that way or not was pointless.

Also, the periods from about 1898 to 1917 was very turbulent in North.

In early1800 when Fulani sacked Hausa Sarkis from power and took over they killed many of them. The ones they did not kill they sent on exile. The exile camp was in Lokoja. Lokoja had been an historic but independent Yoruba settlement. The town absorbed the fleeing Hausa Sarkis and gave them a camp. Till today the camp is still in Lokoja.

Britain continued its attempt to subdue and secure Northern Nigeria from encroachment from French Colonial forces in the desert. The Fulani Emirs had put resistance against Britain. In about 1900 Britain launched an offensive that sacked Sultan of Sokoto and exiled him from the capital. Any town they toppled a ruler they set up a frontier force fully armed. Gradually they swept the towns killing or exiling the Emirs all way to Bauchi. The exiled Emirs were deported down to Lokoja to join deacendants of the rulers they sacked just about 100yrs earlier. So today in Lokoja you have Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani cohabiting the town. Yoruba own Lokoja but the other two have sizable camps and population.

Britain either installed new Emirs or allowed passage to the ones that surrendered to their power. So they now forced the new rulers to sign Treaties like was done with the Coastal Kings.

This total supremacy and suppression of North and South and the stoppage of French invasion of the territories emboldened them to act with impunity and decreed for us by default, acting as proxies for our interests.

So the signage of the Treaties of Protection became the defacto document of concession empowering them to do what they did in 1914. Its one of the greatest human rights violation as is many, trailing the footsteps of colonial powers, around the globe.

Is it possible to nullify the powers and authority of the document? Yes, it is possible. It will take people like Herbert Macauley to do so. We dont have legal authorities and force of principles like that any more.

You are absolutely correct.
Awo was wise, shrewd and very realistic right from the beginning.
He was resented by the colonials for that.
He already pointed out the basic defect of the Nigerian state.
He worked to give the best advantage available at his time to the nation of his heart: the Yoruba nation.
Awo never really had any conviction in Nigeria,
and he made no pretences about it.
Such a practical man who had a clear vision of things even when his counterparts were waxing poetic about such utopic will-o-the-wisp as United States of Africa!
Imagine an African version of the Soviet Union being contemplated by some irresponsible idealists when African tribes and enclaves were ever at daggers-drawn!
Awo saw through it all and stuck to what was feasible and real!

It has been postulated that Awo played the ignominious role he played during the Biafran War as a form of payback to Zik and the Igbos for the role Zik's regime played in jailing him for treason. And of course, it is easy to imagine the dominant sentiment at the time. It was felt that Zik insisted on One Nigeria against proposals for deamalgamation so that he could perpetuate himself and his Igbo folks in socioeconomic dominance of a vast territory!
And when the tables were turned, he and his Igbo folks must be stopped by all means from running away from the reality of being dominated by others!
That was the mind-setting that drove Awo and Awoists in joining the Northerners to insist and persist on keeping Nigeria one at all cost and by all means!
It was all to spite Zik and his arrogant Igbos!



That Awo got carried away by such unfortunate sentiment is to be regretted by every clear thinking person.
A man of Awo's stature needed not succumb to such baseness powered in the background by lust for oil wealth!

In joining Gowon's cabinet, Awo marked his own anticlimax.
He therewith, pitted himself ideologically in sharp diametrical opposition to his famed and much storied stance on the unworkability and artificiality of the Nigerian Union!
History could have been kind to him if he stayed neutral,
or if he played on the same high moral ground taken by Wole Soyinka who was active in condemning the war as unjust, and calling on the international community to cease supply of weapons to both sides!

Typical African analog thinking.

Turnaround blessings ko.....

With fallacious believes in generational curses and abstract breakthroughs....

No will to affect lives positively and push the limits of science, the arts, commerce and economy. Just build house and buy car...such shallow and superficial thinking. Very parochial and selfish with no thought for their fellow men.

People, I just described the mentality of the average naija citizen
