PoliticsRe: FG Plans Fresh Financial Relief Package For States by cocoduck: 12:59am On Jun 12, 2016
SuperS1Panther:
You are very wrong sir.

The Regionalism/Confederacy we are talking about will come with resource control/true fiscal federalism.
You are the one that is wrong, by saying that regionalism will make development concentrate on a small area, as if there is anywhere developed to world standard on Nigeria
PoliticsRe: FG Plans Fresh Financial Relief Package For States by cocoduck: 10:10pm On Jun 11, 2016
SuperS1Panther:
I agree with your submission on creation of states being instrumental to development. If Nigeria had been running on regional government structure till date, probably we may just have 6-8 super developed cities while other area will be mere mushroom villages. It all depend on the philosophy and the developmental growth pland of each region.

However, different times calls for different strategies. We can still have our regional governments now, with the power to create as many states as they want. This will even propel development faster than we have now because the regions can harness their strengths collectively, while covering up for the weaknesses of the constituent states.

Corruption in this country was encouraged by too much power at the Centre. Let there be devolution of power to the Regions with resource control, regional police, regional educational and health systems etc we will see more development and better quality of lives of people. To be candid, nothing is guaranteed. But, we have tried this madness for too long, we need to tinker with the structure.

The healthy rivalry that might develop from such structure will ensure all regions are result oriented. At the same time, the allegiance of the people might be with there regions and they can still enjoy the benefit of being part of the larger Nigeria population, when it comes to international politicking.

I believe we do not have anything to lose by trying out a new system. This has not worked in anyway. Only a mad man keeps doing the same thing over and over again and will be expecting a different result.
You guys don't know what regionalism is about, you must look inward to generate funds to pay salaries and the taxes to the federal government, look at the UK for example, is there anywhere In that federation that is not developed, is it Manchester? Liverpool? Cardiff? Edinburgh? Dublin, Newcastle? Various cities and towns in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, that is not developed? You are still thinking with the view point of this feeding bottle system, when the government has to source for funds on its own it must invest in any viable thing it can, and that is development.

We dont need to politicize good points you have made. His major problem was the Percieved Fight against corruption which distabilized his integrity with both local and foreign investors. Also His slow motion to make decisions....

You Highlighted all points so well. But we are still the owners of Nigeria....Please proffer good and quick solutions that can remedy these problems....That way, we will move forward.
Nigeria is owned by the Brits, they are the ones that put him in power in the first place, they did it with help from their brothers in evil, the American president Barack Obama and his campaign team, so blame the Brits too. You are never the owner of Nigeria.

Amnesty should stop crying wolf where there is none. They are IPOB terrorists and you can't expect the military to fold their hands and let them break down law and order. Nnamdi kanu their terror leader taught them to become rebels on his evil radio before been locked up like a church rat that he his sad Anyone calling for the break up of Nigeria deserves the bokoharam treatment. Bokoharam has flags, IPOB has flags. Their common objective is to establish a sovereign state out of Nigeria which will never happen. Lord luggard saw the strength in our diversity before handing over power to the north. This is why the easterners are angry and will not subject themselves to northern oligarchs but unfortunately ojukwu later realized igbos progress is in Nigeria and can only be attained by co-operation with the west and north. If the igbos are ready to denounce biafra we will gladly vote in an igbo president. Biafra will never come in Jesus name. Amen sad

money laundering is part of corruption, not it's elder brother.

harsysky:
Most times everyone could read the state of mind of a typical atheist. Every christian has been there and come off it. Take the case of JOB, he could have easily resorted to being an atheist and have it within him that there is no God, but he must have asked himself, " what will I gain if I even do that. Even if I die I knw where I'm going". That alone kept him eventhough he has numerous unanswered questions just like we christians and some atheist have now.

Ours (christian) is that we trust God in all things that we do. Even while we learn, we trust Him to help us and He does. It's about belief. The bible isn't contradictory, not at all. What a typical atheist does is to open a scripture, grab one verse without even taking cognizance of whom is being referred to. It's not your fault atheists, that's why Devil has his own role to play. Using those unanswered questions, loss of loved ones, he (the devil) spits it in ur faces that no one cares for you. One thing is certain, Devil doesn't need anyone to obey him, he just want people not to believe in Jesus christ and his work(satan) is complete just when that person dies.

I'll never forget John Scriven and how God comforted him when he lost two beautiful women he would have married . He later wrote us that beautiful Song amidst all those tribulations. "What a friend we have in Jesus"
It is like math, math can never contradictory, it is our understanding of it that may be wrong or right, thanks bro.

Hahahahahahahaha, You are trying to deflect the discussion, It is either you are for God or you are for Evil, no sitting on the fence, by the way, God DID NOT CREATE EVIL, he gave us free will, and told us to choose life or death according to Deuteronomy 30:19 which says: "This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now CHOOSE life, so that you and your children may live". You see, you make your choice, if you choose life, you will live, if you choose death, you will die, simple and short.

No. They predicted that the "God's Kingdom" would come in 1914, and when that failed, they said it would come in 1925. That failed too. Then they began to say that God's Kingdom would not actually eliminate all non-believers, but rather it would occur on earth among the non-believers, and had already started. Since then they have given up trying to predict an actual year.
Hahahahhahahahahahah, foolishness, 1914 is the year Satan was ousted from heaven for the very last time, according to Revelation 12:12, that happened in the year 1914.

YEAH WE KNOW THE BIBLE CONTRADICT ITSELF A LOT TANKS FOR REMINDING ME I WONDER WHAT REVELATION SAYS ABOUT THAT
Read what I posted earlier, I said when the Bible says world, it means PEOPLE, YOU AND I AND EVERYONE AROUND US. The Bible equally stated the God will ruin those ruining the earth. The world is wicked, is the earth wicked? it is you and I that are wicked, I don't know anywhere Revelation says that God will destroy the physical earth, there Is where in Revelation that some how portrays the earth in a bad light but in the same area it also talks about the sea, so it means stable human societies(earth) and the unstable (sea), it simply means mankind alienated from God, not the physical earth.

FUNNY THING IS THAT THE EARTH IS STILL GONNA LAST MILLIONS OF YEARS!!
If you don't understand something then ask, it will be laid bare to you, Ecclesiastics said generations come and go, but the earth stands till FOREVER, so at no time will this physical ground be destroyed, when the Bible says world, it really means PEOPLE, you and I and everyone around us Okay?
The way we count time and the way God counts time is not the same at all, we hardly make 100 years vs SomeOne who lives forever, (believe it or not), at a time in the bible, it is written that one thousand years in our eyes are His one day, so 2000 years is like two days ago. Now do you give a tenant two days quit notice? hahahahaha, you will give him enough time to leave the house, don't take His patience as a weakness.

Caucasians are rapidly removing the concepts of Bible god and Quran god from the minds of their young people. "White" countries are experiencing a new wave of reason, young people are embracing the freedom to question blind belief.

On the other hand, there has NEVER been this much religion in Africa. And the GULF in INFRASTRUCTURE and TECHNOLOGY has never been wider.

It's the plague of the collective time wasting disease
that is organized religion.
That is a not entirely true, many people are leaving the churches, but as for JW, the population in these countries keep increasing, because of the effort JW make to go from house to house and teach people what their pastors couldn't teach them. The number of congregations of JW keep on increasing both in the US and Europe, despite persecution. Okay?

This is why ppl don't take ur religion seriously. Different Christian sects disagreeing with each other
True Christian faith is not for everyone, Jesus said, the road that is broad and spacious, is leading to destruction, and MANY are the ones finding and taking that route, but narrow and Cramped is the road that leads to life and few are the ones finding it, Jesus commanded his disciples to preach from door to door to whoever that cares to listen, who are the ones doing that today? The bible said it clearly, apostle Paul said, I know that when we go away (die) many people will spring up and twist the the faith, and will deceive many into leaving the real faith and will not treat the ones who refused to follow them with kindness, is it not what is happening? BTW somebody said the bible is illogical, lols, this is not the first time somebody has made such a statement, but all those who said that, hundreds of years ago, where are they today? Forgotten. Where is the bible today? That is a question.

Jehovah's Witnesses? You mean the group that keeps predicting the end of the world and gets it wrong every time when the date passes and nothing happens? What date is the 'new' end of the world?
Jehovah's Witnesses have NEVER at any time predicted that the end if the world will be at so and so time, that has NEVER happened, those things were said by enemies and detractors to deceive people, Jesus himself, the only begotten son of Jehovah said to his disciples, concerning that day or hour, no man knows, only the Father, Jehovah knows when it will be, so who are Jehovah's Witnesses to say that the end will be at so an so time. Jesus only told everyone who cars to listen, the signs he or she will see, just as before a storm, you will clearly see signs that a storm is about to happen.
This predicting the world by JW is a Huge lie, I know you will start quoting watchtower of 1520s to prove it, that is what your likes normally do, so I expect it, but no such nonsense was ever printed on any watchtower, ever you people are the ones who keep faking these things.
