What restructuring has STARTED where?
Have they renounced their portion of the monthly federal allocation from Niger Delta oil revenues?
No!
So where is the restructuring that has STARTED?
Why do we like to deceive ourselves?
Na who do us this thing?

Ugomba:
Not just Ok, But a warning about ur shameless activities on Nairaland.
You think that being Igbophobic will make Nigeria not see you as an Igbo man? Or you are in a delusion of creating "an ika tribe" with a stolen Igbo Identity..
Or you think that licking Benin people excreta will make you people bini? Mr man, before the binis, ikas are like slaves to them,
they don't regard ur attachment asszes in their history.
I know the binis very well.
No one gives a damn about ur ika, Inferiority Complex is sometimes you peoples problem and when you are in Asaba. Behave urself.

pazienza:
Is there a better criteria for state creation than sustainability?

The SE receive the least allocation from the FG, yet is more financially sustainable than regions that receive. more than times two it's allocation.

Of what need is having a big for nothing state or region that is not financially sustainable?

Of course, SE deserves as much state as she can sustain, and from available statistics, she can sustain more states than NC,SW,NE and NW, only SS can sustain more states than her.

Ugomba:
this guy is just a weirdo.
I told u to stop speaking for Anioma and focus on ur ika WHILE I focus on my Aniocha/Oshimili people.
So Ogwashi Ukwu is no longer in Delta North?
If you bring ur dumb Ika Benin Slave ass to Asaba and spew this rubbish, you may be lynched.
Anywhere the Aniocha/Oshimili joint federation goes, Asaba goes with us.
Go back to ur backward village.
No Aniocha/Oshimili man gives a damn about ur ika or whatever. And you know that.. So zoom off.

pazienza:
This is a simplistic or rather, a mischievous way of looking at the issue at hand.

A better way to look at it is the sustainability index, which takes cognizance of debt and other factors and from the available data to us, SE as a region is more sustainable than Arewa and Odua region.

Ugomba:
oh pls keep quiet! I have been reading ur garbage here in the name of commenting.
You Ikas should know ur limits, as an Aniocha indigene, Ogwashi Ukwu specific, Ika man should know his limits.
You don't speak for Aniomas, Oshimili/Aniocha have their own voice.
Take your Igbophobic stupidity and keep it in ika land. Its not need in Oshimili/Aniocha area.
Even it is not need in Asaba.
As for Ogwashi Ukwu root, We know our history and will happily build a bond with the S.E Igbos..
Ika man, face benin and take ur crap to them. Don't spill it here.

cheruv:
From which SE
This confusion you're perpetrating is what cost Anioma from being a state in '91 when IBB created those nine States. Due to the confusion from our Anioma leaders, ohaneze couldn't submit Anioma alongside Abia and Enugwu to IBB and since then its been difficult for us.

Delta North/Anioma is the next Igbo state and it'd have three senatorial zones viz ika, enuani and ukwuani..
Its capital is asaba and the state ,Anioma would give we the Midwestern=>Bendel=>Delta Igbos the voice we deserve
We're Anioma... Anioma bú ofu

Though we're of the same state Delta... That doesn't give you the right as a non Anioman to dictate to us where Anioma should be ...whether in SE or SS

cheruv:
Well my fellow Anioma brothers have agreed... And once the SE caucus signs unto it...the 6th SE position would be shifted to Anioma so that we the West Bank Igbos can breathe a sigh of relief from the stranglehold the Urhobos and Itsekiris are giving us

Eleghianya I bughi onye Anioma

cheruv:
We're hoping that the extra state come from Anioma... At least it'd add another 7000km² to the SE

kickhard:
My own question is "why should any sane person think of establishing grazing reserve in the states with the smallest land mass when dozens of such reserves can be created in other spme states without encroaching inhabited areas of causing more pain and strain among indigenous dwellers"?

linearity:
Your comments does not make any sense.

You do not divide federating districts by land mass. The vast majority of the North is occupied by nothing else but empty space, land mass, etc.

Try looking up the GDP of the Northern States vs that of the Southern States.

This is how states are divided up in most other countries....e.g. Alaska in the US is more than 12x bigger than New York State and more than more than 80x bigger than New Jersey State....but New York States GDP is more than 11x bigger than that of Alaska's and New Jersey's is more than 4x bigger than that of Alaska.

Giving more states to the North, means diverting more Nationally Resources to them compare to Southern States that puts more money into the federal government coffers and that have more population centers.

Kirigidi:
Only Delta Central Senatorial District (Delta Central landmass is approximatly 5300sqkm) is bigger than d whole of Anambra State in landmass. Goin by dis fact, nd wit our rich abundant human nd natural resources, d Urhobo Nation deserv to hav dia own state which shuld exclud other tribes. Infact, we ar even qualified to form an independent country of our own.

VellyG:
Of what use is the land mass if 70percent of it is yet to be developed after 55 years of independence . As they clamour for more states it creates room for more development within that geographical zone.

melejo:
What criteria do we use to create state? If it is by landmass as your comment suggest then sambisa forest would be preferred to Lagos as a state. I think you need some informal education

modath:
Hahahaha.. , I can feel why your vex bin plenty, don't mind the guy... Ibori did so well for bursary matter for Deltans when I be student (mine was 3k & na once dem gii me), ALL of us used to wish we were deltans, imagine 10k in those days!!

modath:
Who told you they have nothing to show? You think it is easy to maintain Ibori and Tompolo's legion of jobbers?

Go back and modify... Whatever you say about my land, Yoruba land is not inhospitable ,3/4 of us aren't running from it.... Yorubaland does not truncate progress, people grow and thrive , hence the Exodus from uguland into SW......

It's highly likely that if 70% of your people stayed in their sahara, aren't running away from your barren land, increasing exponentially the population of SW states , stretching their facilities so thin, the debt profile wouldn't be high.... SW is carrying it's own and your own dead weight as well.... You don't go to hospitals and schools? Don't ply the road? You are less than smart.

No, SW isn't a waste, Waste is where people flee from and we both know which of the two fits..

cuteboy2:
It is actually the beginning of the road or phase 2 of their campaign.

They are making a formal switch to Phase 2 to align with Buhari's grand plan for Nigeria. Now the target is :

* kill pastors
* murder Christians under any guise
* exterminate Christian villages
* terrorise, kidnap, rape women and destroy farmlands and blame it on Libyans

Hope you have read in the press that the army is feeding and paying reparation of N3, 000 to each of the "captured" Boko Haram terrorists. Thousands have simply been released and told to be coming from home to eat free food and collect allowance.

The feeding programme they promised during elections is being fulfilled on Boko Haram fighters. School children just have to wait their turn, if it will ever come.

Welcome to the new Nigeria!

cynthia123:
As Boko Haram attacks are dropping significantly, Fulani herdsmen's attacks are heavily on the increase like wise killin of Christians preachers.

MY SUMMARY:

Boko haram has changed their tactics.

cynthia123:
No more attacks on mosque?

Where is there new target?

Is it churches and preachers?

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamic extremists have a new leader who promises to end attacks on mosques and markets used by Muslims, according to an interview published Wednesday by the Islamic State group.

The group's al-Nabaa newspaper identified Abu Musab al-Barnawi as the new "Wali" of its West Africa Province, a title previously used to describe long-time leader Abubakar Shekau.

The report did not say what Shekau's current status is.


The interview with al-Barnawi indicates a major change in strategy for the Nigerian extremists, who have attacked mosques with suicide bombers and gunmen, blown up suicide bombers in crowded marketplaces and killed and kidnapped school children. The targeting of students accounts for its nickname Boko Haram, which means Western education is sinful or forbidden.

Wednesday's announcement indicates a coup by Boko Haram breakaway group Ansaru against Shekau, and follows a trend of extremist Islamic groups moving away from al-Qaida to the Islamic State, analyst Jacob Zenn said.

Ansaru broke away from Boko Haram because it disagrees with the indiscriminate killing of civilians, especially Muslims.

Al-Barnawi is the pseudonym of a Nigerian journalist allied with Ansaru, which is known for kidnapping foreigners, according to Zenn.

Shekau in March 2015 declared that Boko Haram had become the Islamic State's West Africa Province. At the time, Boko Haram was the most powerful military force in northeast Nigeria, controlling a huge area and better equipped and motivated than Nigerian forces.

Under Shekau, the seven-year insurgency spread to neighboring countries, killed more than 20,000 people and driven more than 2.2 millon from their homes, creating what aid workers have called a catastrophic humanitarian emergency.

Since last year, Nigeria has a new leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, a former military dictator who has better armed and motivated security forces. He is also fighting corruption that diverted some $2.1 billion that was meant to buy weapons to fight the Islamic uprising, and is cooperating with a multinational force that has the extremists on the run.

In the interview, al-Barnawi said that under his leadership the militants will work to seize back territory. He claimed that increasing numbers of youth are joining the cause, though Nigeria's military reports that hundreds of its fighters have surrendered as aerial bombardments and ground assaults cut supply routes.

Sweetlemon:
I'm so happy to hear this! Nigerian men are fast becoming too lazy for my liking, taking advantage of "I don't want a liability" to look for only ladies with regular source of income to marry because they are too lazy to make enough money on their own. The situation is seriously getting out of hand. The kinds of gists I hear these days about male gold diggers ehn....

So true federalism is not a demand?

#Thunder# #Frustration#...
My dear you are really frustrated.!!
Sorry though, but please don't blame the government for your woes. People like you that never really had in abundance now claim it's Buhari this, Buhari that... Lol
Start up something my dear, Render services, and you will get paid. Life is not as difficult as some of you proclaim. You shouldn't wait on the government to provide you with everything. By the way, do you pay direct tax? I guess no. Then how do you expect to live like the Americans or the British? How do you expect the government to provide everything for you?
Nigerians eh. I pity anyone who clamours to be the President of this country of ignoramuses.

Beremx:
Lai Mohammed please go to the market and ask for the price of foodstuffs. Every day, the price of commodities keep increasing.

Imagine going to enquire for the price of a derica cup measurement of rice in the morning which was 260naira, just this evening i went back, it's 300naira!! A bag of rice is 20k!!

Does it mean only the rich will eat rice now?

Shame on Lai Mohammed!!
