@10mobile, I asked you, what is the guarantee that the outcome of the referendum will be respected?? Since we already have a history of disrespect for earlier agreements. I'm sure you are following the developing story on the Kurdish referendum, the US just now asked the Kurds to void the outcome of the exercise, despite the fact that they are strong allies with the Kurds due to the ISIS situation. So also have the US asked Catalonians to step back. It's all about interests and the people's interests hardly matter in these affairs. Like I said earlier, going separate ways through a referendum will hardly work, too many interests in this Union will make sure the woman stays put. I will rather suggest a well thought out restructuring,to at least reduce the cost of government and strengthen our institutions of governance at the same time reduce the power at the centre. Thanks

Bro, you have still come back full circle to the point you raised in your article, what will guarantee that the results of the referendum will be respected as it is clear that this is a country where agreements are hardly respected. IMO, we have four classes of people in Nigeria, (forget all the sham of different political names which are just mere vehicles to achieve their selfish interests) the military class,the billionaire class, the political class and the people's class, the group who call the shots are the first 3 classes,with the military class being the most powerful. If any restructure or rearrangement is to be successful, you will require the buy-in of at least two out of the 3 ruling classes, anything apart from this will encounter resistance which will result in predictable bloodshed.

Thank u EzzyIzzy. What I recommend 4 a bloodless separation is referendum. Let's be truly democratic. No more bloodshed.

This is hilarious!!! They'll use MOPOL and chase them and their juju from that gate

This is exactly the whole point of his so called presidential declaration. It will now seem like he is being harassed by PMB because he's contesting for the presidency, his supporters will readily forget that he has been under investigation ever before his declaration, they will forget that Obanikoro had made confessional statements where he indicted Fayose. Let the drama begin

puffpuff:
This is the real motive behind presidential declaration by Fayose. All is attempt to evade arrest after immunity thru public sympathy.

Presidency is just a smokescreen

This is one of, if not the most brilliant and intelligent post that I have ever come across on this forum. These days it's rare to come across critical thinkers like the OP. I went through your points in response to Tinubu's article and my question to you is, if this marriage is to be dissolved, what do you think would be the best possible way to achieve this without further waste of human lives. In my opinion,it will never be bloodless as the man(both external and internal interests) in this union will never let go easily.
There lies the greatest tragedy of this Union.

10mobile:
It didn’t start today. Politicians and the media have been using terminologies to mislead whole peoples into making historic mistakes that are suffered by many generations afterwards. Some days ago, the erudite politician and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was a Guest/Keynote Speaker at the 2017 Annual Dinner of the King’s College Old Boys Association (KCOBA), held at King’s College Lagos. The address he was reported to have delivered expectedly dwelt on very key issues regarding our country Nigeria. You can acquaint yourself with the speech here:

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/09/breaking-must-guard-separating-nigeria-small-pieces-tinubu-warns/

In many ways, the speech was a huge eye-opener to me. Suddenly, it was as if scales fell off my eyes and, for the first time, I really came to understand how faulty are many age-long concepts popular politicians and media moguls have been recommending such as Sovereign National Conference and True Fiscal federalism. I realized how very flimsy are the supporting reasons for such recommendation. Yet, they are being pushed down our collective throats with highly skilled verbal embellishment. This led me to make a very spontaneous response to the paper which you can find here:

https://www.nairaland.com/4081404/sir-almost-said-truth-open

In that inspired response, I revealed clearly how lame are some of those concepts that have become household in our media and political discourses.

My eyes have particularly been opened to the fact that the much touted restructuring will only be another exercise in futility all because we are not thinking it through. The reason it will be another waste of national resource is that we have not identified our root problem correctly.

As I pointed out clearly in my response (cited above), the root problem with Nigeria is not with structure as many – including very famous people – seem to think. So, ‘restructuring cannot help us much.

The root problem with Nigeria is to be located at a deeper level, the sub-structure, the very foundation of the edifice. So, the so-called ‘restructuring’ will be like mending walls, re-roofing and repainting a faulty building when its real fault is with the foundation. I have explained this more broadly in the above response cited above.

To prove that structure is not the root source of our problem, I refer to history. We already had true fiscal federalism and resource control enshrined in the 1963 Constitution. But what did we get from that? Only three years after the Constitution was ratified, we had the 1966 civil and military uprisings that eventually snowballed into the regrettable Civil War.

So, let’s think more. The solution I proffer is in the response cited above. I cannot repeat it here to avoid making this post longer than intended. So, if you care to know, you can take advantage of the link.

All in all, I am calling on everyone. Let’s stop going through endless vicious circles while experimenting with the destinies of our children yet unborn. Let's leave off politics, ethnicity and godless religious inclination. The destiny of our children is at issue here.

The idi-ot still has a mouth to talk? What is barbaric is a group of people witholding people's salaries for months and still forming saints! These are ordinary Nigerians who were elected by me and you. The moment they get into elective positions they assume demi-god status! It's time we the people do more than stoning them. Time has come when we should march to their houses and demand for accountability! You can imagine scores of families who can't afford to provide basics for their children and dependents because of the greedy dolts we have as governors!

The funny thing all of you dont realise is that the money wasnt meant to buy any arms. That money was being taken out from the country. From the charter details, the aircraft was supposed to get to South-Africa and return the next day with the passengers. We all know that you can conclude such arms deal in 24hrs. The arms deal angle was introduced as part of the cover up. The guy who chartered the flight, John.Ishyaku, is he a government contractor or is he a known arms dealer? People Decieving People

Hello Kshon! I have direct access to an importer who sells both transformers and transformer oil. Hit me up on my mobile, 08037087443 and lets talk business.

Is it now the duty of law abiding ordinary citizens to fight your so called cabal, while the President who we elected to defend the constitution and fight corrupt individuals actually dines with them, gives them awards. Who is deceiving who?

They are asking us to sacrifice,whilst they refuse to do the same, are they more Nigerian than us,earning huge salaries and stealing us blind.

If they are serious about stopping wastage, let them take a pay cut and do away with all those myriad of political jobbers they call aides whom they dish out free money.
