immunity from what? accountability,transparency. Then where is the equity? Nigerians will always complain even if Jesus is the president. We don't want the 1999 constitution because it is the product of the military, consequently nothing good can come from the military. on the long run the constitution we intend/pretend to have will not be better. Political class has seize the ignorant IPOB rants to consolidate their hold in power via constitution amendment and smuggle their egocentric will into the constitution.
Since the common man will continue to be in bondage no matter how much he cries or growls, he is left with no option but to either an uprising revolt that will eliminate the political class like what lead to the extinction of the Russian Monarch.

The real enemies of the massive (top of the list)are the legislators; they should be scrapped because we ain't mature yet.

My 10 kobo to this matter is that don't allow any man or section to deceive you about break up of Nigeria because all have hidden motives; because they feel their chances to the new center will be better. Resisting your spiritual authorities for lame reasons show the depth of nepotism in that community and it is their beginning of their fall like lucifer.

Pls don't mind these set of people, they are naturally lazy. Out of their laziness and stupidity, they will be shouting that the Igbos imports fake products and I asks, what stopped them from importing original products and leave the Igbos with their fake products?. Their laziness is legendary.

in your country Biafra, you will have enough of fake products and likes of Evans.

Wike is a super joke given the kind of projects he has commissioned and he has already nicknamed himself as Mr project then he is not ready to work. Comparing his administration with Amaechi then 16 yrs won't be enough to be stalemate. what serious mega project can you achieve in 2 years? none. I came to port harcourt as a young graduate 11 yrs ago hence I witnessed Peter Odilli, Celestine Omeha, Rotimi Amaechi and
now Nyesom Wike administration, I can say boldly Rotimi Amaechi administration stands head and shoulder above the rest, not taking anything from Celestine Omeha he tried but the time was short. Wike with the rate of his noise making he will be at par with Peter Odili who spent most of his time making empty noises and wasting money.
In terms of security, roads and conductive environment for non indigenes to come to River state and invest, Amaechi deserves thumbs up. During Peter Odilli tenure as a young graduate working class even if you can afford to buy Car, you wouldn't bother buying because all the roads and routes were narrow and unconnected. traffic every where, it was best you stick with Okada if you want to be on time. Amaechi at first banned Okada due to security threat it poses and i was very bitter because as usual we resist change but he open the road networks and widened the roads, the traffic disappeared. His Administration was the hallmark of a visionary leader. He Amaechi is no saint at all but in a group of all the governors I listed, He is an arch angel. Yes he owned 6 months of pensioners and some major uncompleted projects, However Wike is a joke, all the uncompleted road projects that were suppose to be bridges due to traffic and long term planning. the myopic Wike is doing round abouts and that is the Man we call Mr Projects. if he continue his projects will last just as long as his administration.

DeRay98:
You made some valid points here but not all especially claiming Yorubas are victims. There were groups among the Yorubas who wanted to join Biafra especially in the military,they fought on the side of Biafra. The Army commander who lead the troupes that temporarily took Benin for Biafra was Yoruba. He was defeated when Col. Ogbemudia resurfaced with re-enforcement after initially disappearing to avoid their arrest.

how did the yoruba army commander died? he was shot on the orders of Ojukwu. How did Col Fajuyi die while protect Aguiyi Ironsi? sacrificed his life, how many Igbo men will do the same for his tribe men talk more for a yoruba man.

Reading the piece makes me laugh, anyway am a yoruba middle aged man so I will definitely have sentiments like everyone of you.
My truth is Igbos and Hausa/Fulanis had alliance to control the country while the yoruba played the opposition. The pact was sacrosanct until the first coup which was biased and opened the eyes of every rational nigerian to know that Igbos were wickedly ambitious. This was the genesis of Hausa and Igbo hatred. The Biafra war was the result of 2 biased coups; yorubas were victims of the two coups.
The truth be told, presently yorubas are the unifying factors of the three major tribes. Yorubas have learnt their lessons and they are ones really playing the politics.
My advise is Hausa/Fulani should mentally disassociate from the belief they are meant to rule; they are least developed of the three tribes. they need to respect and appreciate every tribes especially the Niger-Delta and learn to work with them.
Igbos-whatever that happened in Biafra war was self inflicted. When wars are fought, many things are certain; destruction, death and hatred. You need to move on, don't get fixed on the past failure, play the politics. Germany has moved on from the world wars, Japan too. There is much better opportunities for the igbos in Nigeria than Biafra.
Niger-Delta- Restructuring has never being the problem. Bad leadership, you need to change the crop of leaders you have. There is absolutely no reason why the region has not developed with the money pumped in via 13% derivation, Federal allocation, NDDC and Ministry of Niger Delta., One of your son President for 6 yrs and so on. hold your leaders accountable then you will see the difference.
Yoruba- continue to play the politics and develop your region. Make other south west states an extension of Lagos. Make the south west autonomous for agriculture and industrialization.

This company is bad ooooo

Funny how the government will give NCAA autonomy; that is corruption itself. looking at my aero ticket flight from phc to lagos; the cost of flight is 19k of which only N7427.28 is for the airlines (running cost with profit) while the rest goes to government ministries like NCAA, FAAN,TAX etc.
The problem with our government (including past) is that they are very wasteful only that this jonathan government flaunt it with swagga.Most of all the money laudering caught at the airport are always from FAAN staffs which is a big conduit for looting. We need to stop corruption at all levels which is the root cause of our under development but Jonathan disagrees, he claim not having condusive environment for investment is the main reason.
JONATHAN UR GOVERNMENT IS VERY CORRUPT, IS SINGLE DROPS OF WATER THAT FORMS THE OCEAN. BLOCK ALL CONDUIT PIPES OF CORRUPTION (NDDC, NNPC, NASS,list endless) then you will see that we have more than enought for ASUU and the rest.

Am writing from Dubai, come see country in the desert that is beautiful than Paris, US and Uk put together.

The Huge amount of money we spend on quick fix for security is very alarming, I know for certain that the aviation industry is not the only culprit for this. if we sum the amount num of bullet proof vehicles all the so called government ministries have bought, it can eradicate most of all our security challenges. I have lost all hope on this government because its obvious they lack ideas, no planning and fire brigade approach to every thing. For Nigeria to survive, we need a thinking government. A government that knows what is expected of them, not the one that privatize or shift all his challenges to the private sectors (education, Phcn, roads, etc).
God please bless Nigerians for Nigeria.
