I always laugh when I hear regional government. Is it not the same regions where the big tribes were oppressing small tribes? The same regions where poverty and lack of development hit you well once you left the cities?

Plus none of the regions if we bring them back would be viable. In the 1960s yes,when the UK was buying most of what we produced. Not today when everyone is producing what we produced, even oil self.

Regions are for people who believe the myth that Nigeria was rolling in milk and honey when they existed. Lol. Corruption and poverty were.there live. And I have mentioned oppression. A lot of people don't realize that the reason why Gowon created states was as a means of saying f u to the big tribes. Not just to stifle Biafra.

Nigerians should stop looking for someone to share national cake and face reality

Kobojunkie:
Regional Government my arse! Nigerians once had that but do you know why they did not fight to retain it when push came to shove? Because it did not benefit them then as the narrative would have you believe today, and, the same problems of corruption and criminality plagued the system even then. So, why in the world do you think going back to that which the people never even bothered to fight to keep makes sense?

I sha hoe it's not government owned but government supported cooperatives to do this

Funny thing is with modern farming equipment

One person can farm this alone... 10X this

One person can cultivate 500 hectares

Watch how Ronu miscreants will call those attacking him Obident, Igbo and Ipob.

SmartPolician:
When Nairalanders say that Biden is behind the attack, I just laugh because I don't see how a reasonable man would want to kill someone he has beaten at the polls before.

I hope Trump didn't plan this. Dude can do the unthinkable.

Dangote needs to be invited by the House of Reps.

This is no longer about builders but cement manufacturers in Nigeria need to be grilled and cautioned.

The produce substandard cement and still sell it at exorbitant price to struggling Nigerians yet government and SON does nothing to checkmate them

Allen Avenue things.

Oil and Gas producing states can also take 87% and give FG 13%

Though I like the idea of LGs being autonomous as was stipulated in the constitution, but this ruling should’ve been implemented alongside making states control more of their resources

Update: LGs are not meant to be autonomous. The constitution only guarantees their establishment, but the law governing their functions, structure and finances was constitutionally left to the states.

Shame on those who did this to Nigeria’s democracy!

JagabanB:
Simply say u need the SW to install Lienus.
The north will always align with SW, no northerner can ever win elections without SW, the SE needs to align with SW, SE needs SW more than SW needs SE.

Melagros:
COMRADES, kudos to the current administration of Cross River State, unlike the former governor (Ayade) who only knows how to speak 'big big' grammars and siphon the economy of the state

Lanretoye:
If them release Kanu,the PM will be sacked…then never even get the referendum,the backstabbing don already start.

lexy2014:
he has diplomatic skills and Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali pulled out of ECOWAS, the first time in the history of the group that countries now feel they no longer need ECOWAS
