It's so bad the way northerners and easterners see themselves..the mutual distrust is visible to the blind!

But like it has been pointed out, it's our cross

Perhaps, one day gazing into the future like BankPHB that said cars will run on water, an Ibo man will gladly and wholeheartedly break kola for his Hausa brother!

It is possible! Let me have an Amen!

gevans:
why are some people afraid of secession? if any region wish to go so b it, after all it is not by force to stay together as one nation in this 21st century.

From the experiences of Sudan and South Sudan, we need to tread cautiously the secession path.

You are right though, being together is not by force!

DEAFandDUMB:
And that's the big puzzle we need to solve first.. We always agree to disagree... Lol..

OMG!

You just summarised my point, you know that right!

However, in project management, project team members are supposed to disagree in order to agree!

Seriously, the easy route is to just throw in the towel!

But the 'peak is in us'..we can make some headways here.

I honestly believe that

Like seriously, our opinions here, as differing and confusing as it is, where a word has different meanings to 2 or 3 people is a typology of what happens in national fora e.g National Assembly. That is the more reason making an headway collectively is an extraneous hard work!

Nigeria is just simply complex!

Dminister:
May be you should school me on this topic. Why wouldn't Alex Ekwueme advocated for true federalism when he knew it is the only way biafra could be achieved. if you think true federalism doesn't lead to regionalism then I see no reason why I should continue schooling one who is far from the language of political science.

Well, sir, I am not a political student! But I know little about politics

It is possible that True Federalism can lead to Secession but that could be managed!
The constitution that will be enacted can take care of that.

Definitely there is the bad side of Federalism!

Also, I think Nigeria is somehow too young as a democratic country to practice True fiscal Federalism!

DEAFandDUMB:
Wow... Thanks a lot Sir.. Am really developing my brains here with great knowledge.. I love it when intelligent minds engage eachother for discourse in a very constructive way..
Thanks onces more Sir.. I appreciate..

I am honoured Madmoiselle!

It's really good honestly!

We have talents here, I mean on this platform

Funny thing is a thought struck me today..that why is it that Nigerians on the streets appear to have solution to certain issues bedevilling the country than our elected leaders!

Stumbling on this thread furthermore proves me right to a certain extent!

Nigeria can be great!

DEAFandDUMB:
But do you think our leaders can actually heed to our cry for true federalism without a total revolution or confrontation?
What do you think Sir?

Our elected leaders can
And they will!

It is highly disastrous for us to let things continue as it is!

Let it be known that achieving true fiscal Federalism entails that we will do away with the present constitution that 'jails a man who steals a goat' but 'sets free a man who steals billions'

The centre can no longer hold!

Hence, we have to somehow devise a way of making these leaders dance to our tune.

The truth of the matter is they won't want to give in easily

Dminister:
Mr man, in a federal system of government structure, the states or units making up the government are called regions and where the overall head of government is called the central also where absolute powers are resided.
The central government cannot remain overall powerfull in true federalism cause it's absolute powers enshrined in exclusive list of the constitution which it legislate alone are also being performed by the regional governments. Therefore, the central government has no absolute power over the states.The central is left with absolute powers in terms of foreign affairs and defence.
I am a political scientist, this is my field.

To corroborate you, Alex Ekwueme was at a function in Enugu where he too clamoured for True Fiscal Federalism as way out of our mess

Why then is someone coming up with another warped definition of federalism?

Naija, hmmmm!

DEAFandDUMB:
Thanks a lot sir for your candid advice... Will see how I can adjust my schedules so that my night rest timing can at least extend to 5hours..

You are welcome, Ma! Pls do! I trust you won't want doctors to do that for you!
6hours sleep in a day is good for the body - a quarter of d day!

By the way, I will join hands with you in making this thread staying up and alive!

UuzbaGuuzba:
But who is importing these generators? Is it the government? If the generators are not imported, we would not have them. If we didn't have them, we might be forced to manufacture them.

After the 2nd world war, Asian countries sent spies to America to work and LOOK VERY WELL. They worked in factories and took photos of equipment. and wrote detailed notes. This was done for years. These spies all returned to Asia and reported their discoveries to the various industries. The industries just copied and pasted the American industrial models. Na so Toyota start. America first made cars, Japan just copied the "concept" of car over and over again. Na so Panasonic start. Na so Sanyo start, Na so.....

Have Nigerians not travelled enough and don overseas degrees enough to return to industry and paste the information? But when some dude returns with imported generators to sell and make money for himself, then he has destroyed the chance of industry ever getting off it's feet.

You just talked about technology espionage, one of the four ways of technology transfers!

Nice one!

The generators will fizzle out when power is stable

I once stayed in an area in Abuja, we have power for roughly 18hours a day, for real!
If d light goes off for 6hours, we will conclude it's a total blackout
People have generators but they don't use it!
Alas! The transformer got spoilt..
Generator repairers sold like mad! Why? It took 3 months to fix d transformer and people's generators had gone rusty due to lack of usage

DEAFandDUMB:
But can our governors be able to able to handle such power that comes with true federalism cos most of them might end up getting power drunk and start changing the Government at centre with their new powers.. What roles does our legislators have to play to make this true federalism a reality?

I think Federalism won't delegate all powers to the governors

It will be a regional system, hence there will be a regional head while d governors still exist
Hence d organogram may look like President, Regional heads, governors & LG chairmen

The country will have a currency that will be used in all regions and a common constitution, I suppose

DEAFandDUMB:
Now I understand why most celebrities go unclad just to get people's attention because as a girl, if I had posted my semi nvde pictures here, am certain the thread must have been bubbling by now but since the topic is about making Nigeria a better place, only few like minds deem it fit to contribute their quota.. To all those that submitted one or two great points, I say thank you all.. I really do appreciate... I strongly believe that Nigeria will be great again..

I at this moment just stumbled on this discourse!

Thanks for bringing it up!
Though I noticed some distractions (that's normal on this site)

You know what? You have done a great job!

But I do hope you get yourself a nap in d course of the day? 4 hours sleep in a 24hours is damn too slow

Thanks once more!

Until the govt sees stable electricity as an asset which will in the short and long term boost our IGR, we will not see power!

For me, they see stable power as luxury!

That is why we have all manners of generators in Nigeria

Crazy machines that you don't find in homes in overseas!

Nigeria, how has thou fallen?!

No be d fighting dey pain me o...cha cha cha

Na d fact say dem go still send all those knickers to Naija and boys go still dey rock town with it

And girls too go dey say 'look @p his shorts, it's fits him you know'

gurunlocker:

phoenix23401:
any idiot could design this...how do we lnow it from rccg hq, no signage, no nothing!

The thing is every parish is responsible for there stationeries and other materials like chairs

And some parish pastors can be so disobedient.

There is always regulations from the national even to the zonal levels

Am just trying to do some enlightenment

This man has used a stone to kill a bird

He has criticised PMB while still dishing out some soup to the yam eaters

Nice write up

#Adojutelegan

UjSizzle:
His eyes. Beautiful


I think he aged well. He still has a striking look.

Ladies and looks!
Striking look? Madam, say your mind o

kenonze:
All i see is PMB accompanying OBJ.

When did PMB become OBJ escort?

I like people who analyses things!

A big thumbs up, pretty nwa!

Why is he rocking my new hairstyle?

Chai! Why I no be celebrity self? So na so I for dey nairaland FP

Who him new hairstyle epp?

Abeg, where I fit buy garri egba in Abuja?

richidinho:
Abuja residents are friendly people, why not make sharp sharp friend?

We went to school not to obtain certificate. Rather to enlighten our minds!

This guy really shows he can't survive on the streets!

He has pneumonia and he is sleeping on the road, why?

Honestly, I think his inter-personal relationship skill is lacking and he won't be a good problem solver as well!

Looks like publicity stunts!

No matter what he is passing through, dejectedly sleeping on the road is total nonsense!

Do you all know there is Oil bloc and Oil well?

Pls what is the difference?

Or are they the same?

Kondomatic:
He still blamed Jonathan.



Sometimes I do wonder of he thinks that Jonathan is Aisha's spiritual husband

Chei God!

Naija with bad mouth

peter1994:
The question i am willing to answer is
TELL ME if I should resign

Bwahahahahahaha

CHESTER48:

See it is not by force op. If you don't want to use glo, then port to any other network. They didn't force you to use their network. And stop inciting riot/protest or fight. And any mod that moves to fp lacks understanding and want to incite riot or protest too. Please mods CLOSE THIS THREAD

Ahn ahn!

So le to yen ni?

Where is d freedom of information again?

Abi glo don pay u ni?

Opolo eye no be open eye o

Dey ur lane abeg! Osiso!

anny268:
Oga correction, I saw it. Thanx but as a typical hausa babe, wat do u expect? considering the TP to Bwarri, buying 550 at Bwarri is almost dsame thing wit buying it at d rate of 650 here in Gwarimpa

Lol..ok

But as a confam fulani boy with Igbo biznez instinct, I no go mind if we dey do dis biznez o

Walahi, tomato go still cost for d next 2months, Allah!

anny268:
Rice is 19, 800 here.. Gwarimpa FCT precisely..A mudu is 650..

Anny dear, I will advise u to come to Bwari market..a module still goes for #550

Hope u saw d correction?

A mudu sounds like Amodu to me

This Ado whatever is crazy! So Kubwa expressway in Abuja has been gazetted by FG too!

Cattle rearers are all over FCT!

And they carry matches! How can someone be carrying machetes openly?

FG and NASS must do something fast!

drtwist:
Thou you said your opinion, but it's good for your opinion to always have back up. You have to ask yourself which of these state have I travel to, or provide pics. Places like Owerri, ancient City of Ibadan, and KD on list can never be ahead of Delta and Anambra. Even Ogun is expected to be ahead of them. They are just being over hype on the media.

DrTwist, why are u twisting things?

The post is about cities and not states, kwanu!

Here is my story!

Three years ago, I was looking for job..i saw a post on facebook about some job in Gbagada.
I went there..and lo and behold it was GNLD..this is the same GNLD that I know guys who did it back in 2002..

No way! They just wasted my tfare and time.

Truth is, it's bad when these MLMs hide the identities..come out clean.

However, MLM or network marketing is not a bad idea.

Do you know? We are all engaged indirectly in network marketing! Yeah! Ask me how.

As a lady, a tailor sows a cloth for you..you then refer your friend to the tailor..you just did network marketing.
Some of us even tell people to use a particular network for data..that is network marketing.

As a guy, you bought a nice suit..you later took your friend there..this is network marketing

And guess what, we do it freely..how about you earn some money from network marketing!

It is possible.

I am not here to damage your philosophy!

But in this era, if a scheme will guarantee additional income, learn about it

It is my rule of thumb not to engage in an MLM that is about 7years old..you will always be at the base.

Also, don't join an MLM where you sell drugs or supplements or whatever!

And join an MLM that embraces technology where you can monitor your growth anywhere!

Also, no MLM will make you rich all of a sudden! I repeat, NONE!

I can hint you more
