These things you mentioned about America are done by the citizens. If a govt tries to change the gun laws, that govt would be removed, Americans love their guns!

What the govt promised them during campaigns are most time fulfilled and thats what you hold the govt accountable to.

Irrespective of the reason why people hates Nigeria, the facf that some people wants out is enough to say there's no unity without which nothing substantial can be achieved.

Napata77:
Anyone can play this silly game, once they feel hatred for their country.

If I was an American who hated his country, I could reel out 5 heavy reasons why the country is a 'useless failure'.

I could start with the fact that an estimated 70,000 Americans are shot dead every year in gun violence. Followed by the fact that 80,000
are killed in drug overdose annually. Followed by the fact that there have been nearly 2,000 mass shootings this year alone in the country, etc etc.

So anyone can play that game.

MANY OTHERS look at Nigeria and see the cultural capital of the continent, with world class entertainment, music and film industries, Africa's largest economy, tech capital of the continent, and rising manufacturing and industrial power.

Go to Lagos airport. It is filled with people from all over the world trooping into Nigeria to do business,

So not everyone sees Nigeria the way YOU see Nigeria....

Who is we? Which people gave you the mandate to speak on their behalf?

Ekpeitit:
Just go to Biafra, we don't want you.

Ability of the black race to succeed and find its place does not depend on the size of the country but on their unity of purpose.

Can two walk together unless they agree?
Clearly, the different major nationalities in Nigeria hate themselves and there was no referendum in bringing them together like the British criminaly did.

Someone that hates meritocracy, western education and kills for blasphemy would have the capacity and capability to move the black race forward?

Napata77:
I shake my head when I see folks carelessly talking about ''dividing the country let everybody go his way.''

Do you people realise that the ENTIRE BLACK WORLD is looking up to, and waiting for NIGERIA, the Giant of Africa, to take the black race to the next level?

On this Earth, 1 out of every 4 black persons is a Nigerian.

Once Nigeria rises, the entire black race rises.

THIS IS THE BURDEN OF HISTORY PLACED ON YOUR HEAD AS A NIGERIAN.

If you go to HARLEM, NEW YORK CITY, that iconic Afro-American hub, that blood-soaked black civil rights headquarters home to Dr Martin Luther King Jnr, Malcolm X, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and other fiery black liberation icons, and stand in the street, and declare that you want Nigeria, the biggest, richest, most powerful black country in the world, to be divided, they will STONE YOU. Somebody might even shoot you.

Please, don't mention it in the Caribbean.

These are people who are talking of Africa Unite! with Bob Marley and others, and you say you want to divide what? Where? They will kill you!

Please, don't mention this thing outside Nigeria, if you like yourself. Especially in black diaspora nations or neighbourhoods.

IPOB folks don't venture near those places when they go abroad, because they know the answer - ''NO DIVISION''.

Instead they go to where the whites are staying, because those are the ones that would love to see Nigeria smashed.

So there's no question of Nigeria dividing.

OUR JOB IS TO MAKE IT WORK.

Look at thw slavish conditions for restrucrtuing to be done! So you're saying Nigerians will have a better standard of living through restrucrtuing if the North decides to be magnanimous?

Southern Nigeria has really suffered!
BTW, no emergency powers can be executed by any president to restructure by executive order. Not gonna happen but I agree that resources being discovered in the North will release their chokehold on the South

Napata77:
- It depends on the leader. It can be done by executive order under emergency powers.

Or

- A military regime can implement it.

Or

- A northern political consensus could emerge (and there are early signs of this), on the need to restructure the federation, making it easy to pass through national and state assemblies. Recent gold, lithium, and oil and gas discoveries in the north buttress a growing sense of resource independence in the region, further loosening their resistance to restructuring.

Do you know the tiny country called Luxembourg? They have about the highest standard of living in the world(if not first then second). They are smaller than Delta State so biggest doesn't always mean better. You cant compare tiny European countries with India,
Nigeria even in 50yrs!

Napata77:
A restructured Nigeria is the best for all of us.

A restructured Nigeria will be stronger and richer than 20 Biafras, in the long run.

Nigeria is projected to become the 3rd most populous nation on Earth after China and India by 2050.

The 3rd biggest consumer market on Earth.

This means that she will be a target of investment for every major company on the face of the Earth in the years ahead.

Nigeria will be the place to be, for all of them.

Igbo entrepreneurship and industrialism will blossom 1,000 times more within the GIANT NIGERIAN MARKET than outside it, where they would need to compete with China, India, Germany, US, and others for world market share. (good luck with that).

And with rising Igbo economic power will come political power and influence, as a matter of course, negating the need for IPOB and other brutish methods of power acquisition.

So, as a South East man, I'd go with restructuring Nigeria, most definitely.

Are you for real?

Ttalk:
We don't need works bank to tell us that.

Are you insinuating the South should wait for the north ni, or Nigeria should concentrate development in the north so as to meet up with the South?

This is one reason Nigeria should not allow the likes of Akinwunmi Adeshina, Okonjo Iweala, Ezekwesili to become Nigeria's president. They have been so hypnotized with western education that their policies would always under develop Nigeria

Tinubu will never be president

CoronaVirusRelo:
Be patient! You are too anxious, over ambitious and zealous.

You will still have 8 years to wail after His Excellence, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is sworn-in as President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, on May 29, 2023

Be patient and watch the movie. Reality will humble you for 8 years!

Then its because the person is Yoruba. Tribalism has finished Nigeria

LegendHero:
That Muslim Muslim propaganda already failed. Anyone that will vote Jagaban will vote him whether the person is Christian, Muslim, or Buddhist.

No one campaign for Jagaban more than my mom church pastor.

Why is it that most people supporting Amoda Sangodele are equally supporting the failure Bubu?

It means if by mistake Amoda becomes president, you guys will support him even ig he is failing heavily just as you're supporting Bubu inspite of abysmal failure in many ramifications

Aufbauh:
Most of you guys are very shallow and ignorant.

What capacity do you have to outrightly say 'it's a lie' to someone more especially Mr. President who says he has done his best? Do you know his best capacity?

If his best isn't good enough for you then, it's within your perception and opinion but not within your knowledge to dispute someone who knows himself better.

Seriously? You think if you criticize Bubu it would rub off Amoda? Bubu is by far the worst president Nigeria will ever have

Moh247:




Take away nepotism... Buhari did his best


Global oil price crash, Economic recession, COVID-19 pandemic

Infrastructure wise he gave us rail, mabila dam, second Niger bridge among other things he did


.

You guys hate Igbos but dread the thought of Igbos leaving

Moh247:



Ojuckwu talk pass this one

If you can't get your Biafra through Constitutional amendment then stop disturbing us

Russia vs Ukraine war, nobody gives a fvck anymore, people are now talking about WorldCup


.

The Nigeria state wanna punish the Igbos in perpetuity for the civil war but the Igbos are like seeds. Always germinating when buried.

Since you created a system with the sole purpose of cheating the Igbos, stagnation and retrogression is what you get because to hold someone down, you've to be down!

Igboslayer:
It took Igbos only 7 years after independence to plunge the young country called Nigeria into full blown civil war by Ojokwu (34yrs) and Gowon (31yrs) that find it difficult to find peace from within. (Youth is not wisdom afterall)

All resources the country needed for growth both humanlly and financially were allowed to perish because of the greed of one ethnic entity that find it difficult to embrace peace with other tribes. Today, Nigeria have not recovered from the civil war in terms of development and economic recovery.

Today Simon Ekpa (37) is at it again with the same ethnic agenda. They will fail as usual.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world. Indeed, its the only thing that ever has!- Margaret Mead

Most prosperous European countries are smaller than Oyo state but with per capital income and standard of living 20 times that on Nigeria

SmartPolician:
Igbos have a lot of work to do in reorientating our people. We don't need any Biafra. We need a restructured Nigeria.

I have yet to understand why a business-oriented man will be more interested in confining himself to a small country as opposed expanding his territory. When you try to enlighten these ignoramuses, they resort to insults and name-calling.

Shame nor dey catch you? From Bubu to Agbado....always campaigning for the worst like its a football match

madridguy:
The satanic umbrella party will not stop amazing person. PDP should channel their energy to be a better opposition because it is very obvious 50 years to this time they will never come near to Aso Rock.

God Bless Asiwaju Tinubu, Nigeria incoming president.

PDAPC time has past. Nigeria needs Peter Obi at a time like this!

You guy is a criminal for extra-judicial killings and one day he will be caught and sentenced to death.

Creamypie:
Do they still execute criminals in Nigeria? One of my guys in d force here at state command, Asaba, Hates thieves pass devil. He secretly kills them after arrest, and without trial, especially when calls from don dey come for their release. I remember when one phone was traced to 2 criminals. He just kill them after they explained how they stole the phone, unlocked it at ugbe onogo market.

APC should be sacked rather

See this thief talking

You think by voting Obi you're doing anybody a favor? Whether you vote or not, you'll feel the effects of wrong candidate voted in.

Again, you're not doing anybody whether you vote for Obi or not

Godwin4444:
the problem with u people is u are ignorantly aggressive n thereby creating more enemies for your candidate

What makes u feel I have ever voted in Nigeria?
I didn’t vote in d last 2 election cos both candidates don’t worth me queuing in d sun

On this I am undecided but truth b told I don’t think I will vote obi even if I will vote

His supporters have created more enemies than friend for him n insulting everyone at d slightest provocation


This is the hitler style of governance n same thing with their ipob way

Even if I am voting it will never b obi,I would have voted obi if things didn’t degenerate to this level with his supporters insulting,bullying,issuing threats n all that

U can insult me I don’t care but if I am voting it can’t b obi

Yoruba culture is too subservient!

Reno is trying to woo the Yorubas just as Wike is doing cos anything can happen

I'm from Delta State, but i have stayed in Lagos, Oyo, Ogun in SW...i had my worst experience in Lagos. A place of bedlam

Godwin4444:
I am from oyo state


Which state are u from?

Haven't you done enough damage already by voting Bubu twice and wrecking the country?

You want to be allowed to use poor decision making to wreck everybody?

Godwin4444:
so insulting people will make them vote your candidate right?

Even you're not from Lagos! I don't know most Yoruba claim to come from Lagos

Godwin4444:
which state are u from?

I am 100% sure u won’t say d truth

But you know your fo0lish choices affects everyone. The people that did not vote for Bubu in 2015 snd 2019, are they spared from Bubu's ineptitude?


In democracy, the thoughtful ones have to do what it takes to prevent the thoughtless ones from pushing everyone over the cliff

Godwin4444:
u people should understand that since the beginning of creation people have always had choices


U can’t insult people for their choices in a democratic setting,the same way u believe your candidate is the best is the same way others believe their candidate is the best so

Live n let live

Vote your candidate n don’t b bothered about other peoples choices

That’s maturity

Were you there, how did you know their actions were celebrated?

Besides, how does that equals to electing them as representatives? Furthermore, celebration or non-celebration of an action cannot undo the action. There was nowhere where the generality of Igbos agreed to a coup!

You're talking of few military men vs a nationality that's in the millions. The so-called military men were not even sent to join the military by the generality of Igbos but their respective family decisions. You Igbo haters have no point!

Why are you not holding the generality of Fulanis for the activities of herdsmen?

DeepThroater:
But their actions were wildly celebrated by Igbos just as Igbos once celebrated UGM.

You do realize those coupist were not voted by Igbos so are not representatives of Igbos.

Is like saying that the Nationality of IBB should be held accountable for what IBB did. Thats foolishness!

Superwave16320:
You want this answered but you don't bother asking why those cursed miserable wretched foolish Igbos orchestrated a coup against a constitutional each n every Nigeria consented to ? Now we are back looking for such constitution. For that singular act the World court suppose to proclaim that the entire Igbo race should be wiped off the face of the Earth.

How can some cursed souls wake up to orchestrate coup against an agreement eveey Nigeria sworn to abide by.

So you prefer not to experience a great Nigeria insofar it would affect the Igbos?

Superwave16320:
So a foolish Igbo can wake to destroy the unity of the country over selfish n foolish motives. Weren't those who orchestrated the coup suppose to be brought to justice before restructuring.

Untill foolish igbos own up to the evil n wrong doing you orchestrated in Nigeria you have no right to demand restructuring.

So Bubu wasn't rigged in 2015 and 2019?

trendo360:
Win my foot. PDP win was rigged as usual using OBJ's template meanwhile Nigeria's wasn't as divided as it is today.

Eustace galivanting

Seems these guys wanna make the country ungovernable for Obi's government.

When Atiku said he'd restructure in 2019 with Obi as running mate, what did you do? Voted for Bubu who vowed never to restructure yet you're blaming Ironsi who cannot do anything now but you're alive but supporting people who're against restructuring.

You see why even when Gowon was dividing the regions, the western region celebrated it!

DeepThroater:
Good question

1. The Fulani and the Igbo.

Period!

She had it coming when she made her relationship a social media relationship

SpatialKing:
Nigerians are bent on destroying this relationship
