When th:iefnubu has gone to do collabo...

I'll tell u what I told Oseite the south is better than the north in everything... Especially the SW...

SW doesn't need Nigeria... I don't know why th:iefnubu and others are not calling for secession..

Exactly. When you look at hard fact, southwest doesn't need Nigeria. Southwest contributes far more than they gets to people they are not related or share values with. Beggars believe.

You've never heard of Belgium?

Yugoslavia existed for 70 years before war brought it to an end.

Basque separatists have been agitating for their own country for a long time.

Catalans have been looking for independence from Spain for at least 100 years.

Corsicans have been calling for independence from France for decades.

Scotland has been agitating for independence for centuries.

Bavarians have a separatist movement.

It took the Irish over 700 hundred years before they became an independent nation and even then they lost part of their island to the UK.

your post is out of sync with my post? Anyways, Cornwall as well as many others, has been crying for an independence from England for donkey years, does that mean they would be granted? No, because majority of them are in the minorities. Forget about the past as there are many international constitutions that governs the right to a secession.
Although international law like geneva acts are, in principle, neutral with regard to secession, there are elements associating the unilateral process of State creation with international law. Hence, though there is neither a right nor a denial of secession under international law, each process of secession is associated by certain elements that help depict (if not the legality, at least) the illegality of some cases. However, most of these laws are against a rejection of a call for a secession by the majority of the population. A right to a secession is on a country by country basis and are mostly influenced by the founding constitution. For instance, the union between all the stated in America was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the states. This isn't the case for Nigeria or countries like United Kingdom. Hence, why Scotland was allowed to have a referendum last year.
Heck, even though the law makes a secession by any states in U.S. absolutely pointless. Yet It took 150000 votes in 2012 for texas to activate their right to a secession, of which was rightly turned down by the federal court.

Bear in mind that it is the majority that counts. In Spain any polls on sovereignty must be held nationally hence why they have been repeatedly shut down by Spanish parliament. Go and check Spanish law, the only way they can trigger the clause is for the majority of the Spanish people to vote in favour of a referendum or call for it. Nigerian law is not as water tight as those countries I have mentioned. This has been said countless times by many people.
The point is there are now many laws that bounds the right to a secession unlike in he past where countries like Russia can just hold countries against their wishes.

There should be a call for the revaluation of the union going forward. I know majority of African countries are regional based rather than parliamentary or federal. So I would imagine this also holds true for Nigeria to an extent. Nigeria doesn't have a solid case against a secession by international standards especially when you factor the things like different tribes, religion, marginalisation etc. Major tribe Yoruba, Igbo or hausa/fulani have he right to demand a referendum.
In conclusion, those posts of yours is irrelevant and doesn't mean a secession is impossible if that was the intention of your post.

Sorry dear. Few Nigerians understand sarcasm! So thread cautiously next time.. .

lol I had to slide the word sarcarsm in there to avoid abuse . Next time I will put 'I dey joke'

samplegirl:
You think only the northerners are suitable for the job just the way you think only them are suitable to rule Nigeria.

They have ruled this country more than any other region yet they are most backward in education and standard of living.

Please advise him to exhume the dead in Duara because they are the only ones suitable for the job.

He is giving job to the pensioners while young graduates are roaming the streets and someone here is comfortable with it. Tell me while politicians will ever take us serious when we are ever ready to swallow every shit from them.

Let us keep living in the world of I HOPE HE WILL DO THIS or I BELIEVE HE WILL DO THAT while the seconds of the clock is ticking.

My post was intended as tongue in cheek(sarcarsm). I agree with you

You're misguided babe

Check again... sarcarsm

Henry120:
You are very very stup1d for making this comment.

Oh, an example of the word irony. The sarcarsm obviously went over your small brain.

Olusola10:
Hey madam. Hold it there. We are already aware you 'know' and you still want to talk. In case you do not understand what egift is saying, CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING MEANINGFUL TO THIS THREAD AND STOP BORING US WITH YOUR NEGATIVE REMAR, so face the problem bedeviling the country you are, leave Nigeria.

You don't need to throw your toys out of the pram this early . One more fact to chew on, Nigerians are the second highest buyers of properties in UK behind Russians(Thanks to politician). You guys are aware of this and yet you can't do anything about it. It is my ministry to drum it into you guys head.

EUROBOMBER:
Please anytime you find yourself needing this type of help just call me and I will be right there.

Infact, I will carry you to your house from there or my house.

Shortyy:
you are one of the Buhari worshippers? K.

of course not. Was pulling your leg.

Shortyy:
go get the money where ever you think it is..

Buhari will do just that . Too much oil money to finance it

Shortyy:
and where will the money come from?

From the south of course. You guys need to cough up more money for your northern country men and women. Northen state are too poor, so the southerners needs to bear the cost.

YOLA—Adamawa State government says it will require a whooping N200 billion to reconstruct, rehabilitate and put in proper shape the facilities, private residences and other properties destroyed by Boko Haram in 11 of the 21 local government areas of the state.
The state government also disclosed that 7 out of the 11 local governments in the state were completely overran by the insurgents in which no fewer than 600,000 (six hundred thousand) people were displaced and are now taking refuge in Chad, Cameroun, Niger and other neighbouring states in the North East sub region.
Governor Mohammed Umaru Jibrilla disclosed this on Thursday while hosting Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who was at the NYSC Orientation camp of the Internally Displaced persons, IDPs on an assessment visit.
While enumerating challenges faced by Adamawa state government, Governor Muhammadu Umaru Jibrilla, noted that the amount was arrived at following assessment by the state government.
He called on the Federal Government to as a matter of urgency deploy anti bomb experts to diffuse the number of land mines and bombs planted by the insurgents before they left, adding that many people could not farm for the fear that they may be killed by hidden bombs in the process.
In his remark, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo assured the IDPs that the Federal Government will soon address insurgency as all mechanisms have been put in place to achieve that.
Osinbajo added that due to his concern to address insurgency, President Muhammadu Buhari immediately after he was sworn in, ordered the immediate relocation of Nigeria’s Military command and control center to Borno and Adamawa so as to completely deal with the problem.
He said that Adamawa state government has raised a fundamental issue which the Federal Government cannot overlook.
Osinbajo stated that because of the concern of President Muhammadu Buhari for the displaced people, and in line with the party’s campaign promises, he was directed to visit the affected states to see how the displaced people are faring with the aim of resettling them to their various communities.

I don't have time for stupidd trolls.

fitzmayowa:
Not really, if anyone comes out and he/she is not bias then we are just fooling ourselves, but the main thing is performance on the job and not letting the "ounce biasness" affect the job...


Our intelligence arm(SSS) is a joke compared to what we have world over, if it will take the new appointed daura to fix it then so be it, no matter how ethnically biased the appointment might be...IMHO

True, but there are some critical positions you need to be balanced. There are many positions I am worried about one of which has to do with the census. If we all fold our arms and let the northerners put themselves in those positions we would be susceptible to rigging. I mean how can you trust a region that still maintain kano is more populated than lagos.
People are not thinking beyond to see the implications of some of these appointments.

fitzmayowa:
In as much as i gree with some part of your post, i would like to add PMB reserves the right to appoint whoever he deems fit that can perform on the job....

The main thing we should be after is the competence, performance and achievement of the new appointee on the job...IMHO

Indeed. Let's be realistic do you actually think they can perform fairly without an ounce of bias?

fitzmayowa:
What!!! This comment is a definition of a joke...

Well, that is a common theme with each appointments on nl. Don't you worry, nl believes they will be fair to each region, so no need to panic.

I don't agree with the author. I think the northerners are the most suitable people for the job. In addition, he need someone he can trust for such a sensitive job and not a mere southerner who are not trustworthy. *Sarcarsm *
In all seriousness, I genuinely hope they would serve the country in fairness and with dignity.

egift:
First of all, Nigeria will remain one. If you have any useful thing to contribute to this topic do. Else face front.

Nigeria is growing, and you are crying #WailingWailers

I don't care too much if it does or doesn't. If the citizens can be stupid enough not to aggressively demand for a better life and reform so why should I worry too much? Nigerians are short sighted and they don't seem to like themselves too much. This is a fact for the supposedly giant of Africa.
1 Nigeria has one of the highest unnatural death statistics in the world due to road accident, boko haram, work hazard etc.
2. Very high poverty rate.
3. Very low human development index
4. Very high corruption
5. Very high crime rate etc
Yet you are kidding yourself that you are the giant of Africa . Most people would rather they were born in small countries like Seychelles, instead of Nigeria. Anyways, I admire your optimism or dare I say delusion.

egift:
Your great-grand children will still be Nigerians. We do not want any "Mexico" beside the "United States" of Nigeria

Our country Nigeria is the giant of Africa!

If this kinda mistrust, ethnic bias, religious violence, tribal intolerance you guys are experiencing continues then I feel pity for your children. Nigeria cannot last with this current structures.
Giant of Africa my foot.

Is there any sane person who still thinks Nigeria is better off as one? Considering SW is the key to the integration of Nigeria, I would like to know their reasoning for supporting such a dysfunctional country. If the northern region was an employee in a company, they would've been sacked long time ago for being unproductive, too expensive to maintain, violent with different goals and values.
So my question is,
1 is there any economic benefits to this integration?
2. Social benefits?
3. Political?
This would never happen in Europe or America. I find it interesting that it is the yorubas living in foreign countries demanding better terms for the people of SW.

brodalikeme:
I think investment in education should be in the area of orientation and awareness. The north in my opinion does not lack educational institution rather, the youths are not encouraged to pursue education. Northern elite have failed in emphasising the need for quality, hence the nonchalant altitude towards learning by the younger generation. I doubt if the average youth know the important of learning or sees a need for it at all.

The best thing is for the southerners to leave before this get out of hand. Leave their elite to deal with the mess caused by their selfishness.

Gosh.. our sympathy goes to the northerners at the wrong end of this attacks. Any southerners still in this region has him or herself to blame. Never thought Nigeria would be worse than Somalia.

I hope they can generate enough income that will enable them to agree to fiscal federalism.

Jonathan did more harm than good to us. Was there any major contribution to the east?

I agree. Confidence is really low now in Nigeria.

Stupid question

redsconsult:
buhari government have saved alots of millions in naira by not apointing minsters ....just imagine...and Nigeria govt still running very good. infact all sectors seems to be very effective in performing their duties. efcc seems to fear no one etc. i guess its better like this than appoint some consultants in form ministers that will just come and crumble this achievement...




just my opinion before you crucify me..

Nigeria is loosing a lot more in stock market alone partly due to the instability of the current administration.
