Ex-Governor own is clear to me considering what is happening to Yahaya Bello now but what does the constitution says about arresting ex-president? lawyers over to you

It's not likely that a sitting Nigerian President will allow an ex-president to be arrested. The reason is that if a President allows an ex-president to be arrested, it will open a door that will allow other future President to allow him be arrested when he becomes an ex-president

FreedomfromtheT:
Going by Peter Obi's popularity on Nairaland, one might think that the former Anambra State governor is the current president of Nigeria.
Even Peter Obi's opponents and haters can hardly stay a day without talking or writing about him.
Countless propaganda upon propaganda against a private citizen cannot be ordinary.
His Excellency Peter Obi must be a threat to certain powerful people if not they wouldn't be throwing everything at him.
There must be something about this amiable Peter Obi.
Just look out and check for the barrage of responses and propaganda that will follow this thread on Peter Obi and see for yourself.

The supporters of the person in Aso Rock have no achievement from him to talk about, so they have to talk about Peter Obi as if he is the one in Aso Rock

People who want the long failed British colonial creation called Nigeria to last forever as if their ancestors did not survive when there was no Nigeria

Jogs1900:


Why is our brothers from the SE not in support of restructuring?Did you notice that non of their leaders have ever spoken in support of restructuring.
Tinubu has been silently doing the restructuring...Don't let us write him off..He is yet to spend up to a year out of the 8years he's eligible to spend.

Stop hallucinating. Why do you think nobody has moved a bill for restructuring at the national assembly? Restructuring or resource control means you have to change the constitution from the unitary form it currently operates. When you read what has to be done for the constitution to be changed, you find out that it is impossible

Before you can restructure, not only will you need to get at least two third majority vote in the upper and lower Houses, you also need to get at least two third vote in two thirds of the 36 state assemblies. Its mission impossible

But I also want to add that Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex group of the Igbos, has been very vocal in insisting that Nigeria be restructured

However, the entire North does not want Nigeria to be restructured

HisaacPlus:
Below is the Nigerian landmass distribution according to geo-political regions

All of Nigeria is just the size of Texas, one state in the USA

Blaze14k:
Most of these guys attacking Peter obi ruthlessly does not mean he is very dangerous. I met a yoruba friend who told me he is very scared of letting the country divide. This is why you see the likes of yarimo or helinues who do there best put negativity in everything obi does in the public.

Colonial mentality is a horrible disease. About 100 years ago, we were not together

But ever since the white man came from Europe to force us all together into a British colonial project called "Nigeria", some people are now afraid of seperation

Why?

But the worst thing about it all is that the same people who don't want the British colonial project called Nigeria to seperate are the same who want us to stay together and be fighting forever

Why?

They can see that Nigeria is not working but they want Nigeria to last forever

Why?

As I said before, colonial mentality is a terrible disease

jmoore:
90% in the north and this thread is dry.
If southeast had 3%, the demons will make this thread to be more than 8 pages.

Exactly

helinues:


Let's put Nigeria aside, we are talking about your thoughts, reasonings and attitudes on this forum for years.

How progressive are they? Tell us the things you have done on this forum that yiu are proud of which definitely show the progressive nature of you.

We can't put Nigeria aside, if I belonged to a different country, you wouldn't care if I'm progressive or not.

helinues:


How progressive have you been as an individual before talking about the country?

For how many years now have you been having fixated mindset about the progress of this country?

It be like some of una no even dey bother to reflect on your activities on this forum before pointing fingers

Progressive? Nigeria has not Progressed since 1960, it is an unworkable entity and there is no miracle Tinubu, Obi, Atiku or anyone can do about it

What we should be talking about is peaceful break up, let everyone go and manage their territory as best as they know how, the way we were doing before the white man came to force us together

helinues:
If the government fails, it means we all fail together as a Nigeria.

How then do you expect things to better for you in a failed country?

Change your mindset and wish your country the best so that you can also progress in life

The choice is yours

The country failed a long time ago

One thing I will never understand is how Yorubas were so docile as Fulani herdsmen slaughtered them in Ondo, Ekiti, Oyo and Ogun. But as soon as Eze Ndigbo Ajao said he will invite IPOB, there was uproar everywhere

How can mere words a 70 year old man uttered in his house mean more to you that those slaughtering you in your own land?

I rest my case

1. Yorubasvand Igbos operate differently, we are not same people. So anyone who thinks Igbos should act like Yorubas is on a long thing

2. Is it IPOB that is causing whatever insecurity may exist in the South East? That's the narrative the authorities and the Lagos/Ibadan expressway way media and their Northern cohorts wants the world to believe. However, nobody has shown any evidence of this beyond false propaganda and rumours. Nobody in the South-East has ever said IPOB is killing anyone there, and IPOB has nothing to gain by doing so. Thousands of people killed in the South East? For where? The insecurity is largely in just Imo State and its bother with Anambra and has been minimal

3. Only a complete fool would believe that armed Yoruba Nation agitators invaded a place, and the authorities arrested them without a gunshot fired. Where does that happen? Look at all the guns and bullets recovered from them, how did the authorities arrest several armed men without a gun battle? Or did the agitators take guns with them for fun? The same method has been used many times to try and incriminate IPOB. Indiscriminately arrest some people, parade them with uniforms guns and bullets recovered from previous operations, put Biafran flag there, tag them violent agitators, and spin one nonsensical story about how they were overwhelmed by superior firepower.

Whobis fooling who?

Someone is in Aso Rock making decisions that has seen the Naura crash, inflation rise and the economy flatline, but other people's problem is Obi

sdeli:
What did this Obi did to Reno that he can never mention anything wrong with Atiku his master, except Obi Al the time

He thinks Obi is the reason why Atiku did not win. He seems to forget that even when Obi ran with Atike, Atiku still did not win

kettykin:
This Reno is becoming a liability to mankind, of all presidential candidates, he is fixated on candidate and making a fool of himself

Without Obi, he will become irrelevant

nairalandankrah:
Why are soldiers killed in the north not being revenged Like those in the south?

You don't know why? Everyone knows why

Because majority of Soldiers are from the North, so how do you expect them to do that in the North?

But the South is anyones game

You know the funny thing? Northerners have been fighting and killing Yorubas in Lagos for years, with no reaction from Yorubas


Eze Ndigbo Ajao Estate says he will invite IPOB, Yorubas call for his head

The mere words of an Igbo make you jump up and react, but you can never react against the Northerners killing you in your own land

Just laughable

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh. He broke the law by openly declaring his affiliation with a proscribed group, inviting the outlawed group to attack the land of his Yoruba hosts and was very reckless in the act such that he gave the prosecution the evidences required to nail him.

Yeah, spoken words has equated to terrorism, but when Fulani bandits slaughtered three Yoruba kings, nobody remembered terrorism

flokii:
Yorubas don't joke with anything terror or terrorism.. I'm sure this man's predicament will teach others like him out there lesson that there are boundaries you must not cross as an outsider. That you have stayed long in Lagos doesn't make you a Lagosian or a Yoruba to the extent of issuing threats to the region owners.. an alien will always be an alien

We didn't see this same reaction as Fulani herdsmen were slaughtering Yorubas in Ondo, Ekiti, Oyo and Ogun

But it is the words a 70 year old man said in his house that reminded you people there is something like terrorism

opamoses1:
Happy one year anniversary to Eze Ndigbo of Ajao Estate in Kirikiri.

Is an embrassment for Nigeria. Quick to arrest a 70 year old man over what he said in hos house, but never quick to save Nigerians from all the armed bandits out their killing people

Thats the problem with Nigeria, more interested in spoken words than actions

yommen:


The problem is many of you believe you can just get something without following processes necessary to achieve such a thing. Nnamdi Azikiwe killed a lot of Igbo dreams into many generations because of personal ambitions but you people will never see that. Your 'na only me' mentality never allows you to consider things from different angles but only your own angle. Kwantinu o

Yes we know tgat unity beggars are still chasing Zik more than 40 years after his death to ask him about secession clause

It only remains for them to ask their girlfriends for secession clause when she wants to go her way

RIP Okwadike

akingangan:
Nnamdi Kanu, Omoyele Sowore, Sunday Igboho, and Adeyinka Grandson were all in Prison around the same time
All are now Free at this time except Nnamdi Kanu

Who said they are free? Nobody is free, that you can't see the 4 walla of a cell does not mean you are free. Sowore, Igboho and Grandson are not in Nigeria. If they were truly free, they would be mostly in Nigeria, not mostly out

If you're a Nigerian, you have been in prison since 1914

Christistruth00:



Gidgiddy

Nigeria been declared a Perpetual Federation in 1963 was Azikiwe’s Idea and it superseded
Whatever did or didn’t happen in 1914

Yes, the thoughts and hopes of the unity beggars and their long failed "one Nigeria"

However, self determination will always be there, and one day, we Igbos will exit this monumentally failed British colonial contraption called Nigeria

This is a classical example of the failure of Nigeria. A rich powerful politician is to be arrested, rather than subject himself to the law, he calls his successor who has impunity, to help him escape

Only in a failed state

SmartyPants:


Who is you guys and who do we not get along with? Lol. Why revert back to Luagard? What does that have to do with this subject good sir? You made a point, when responding to someone who said Azikiwe was culpable for creating a Constitution that doesn't allow secession, and your point was that secession should not be limited by the Constitution since we created the same Constitution based on an agreement.

Now, I'm telling you that such an agreement can also be made now, provided that those who want to leave bring forth their case meaningfully. And that is by presenting a bill for debate in the legislative houses.

It is laughable that you are not willing to do the bare minimum of compelling your elected officials to initiate the conversation. Instead you are now throwing it back to the other side to start the conversation for you. Are you even serious or you just enjoy the idea of complaining?

Because what you are now saying with one mouth is that I want to leave your house but I want you to be the one to ask me to leave. No sir, you are definitely not sincere in your quest for secession. You merely love the fact that you have something to complain about.

You still don't get it? You are asking for someone to go through the due process of divorce when there was never a marriage

I never agreed to be with you, the white man forced us together. The white man has gone back home, I want to go my way, you say I should go and do divorce? Why? You cannot legitimacy from an illegal colonial creation of the white man

GenSpecifics:


Even in your core ibo hinterland , a Biafra referendum will fail woefully talk more of in the SS which you are claiming as your land.

All the more reason you guys should support us get referendum rather than this holding to this 'one Nigeria' that has achieved nothing since 1970 to this day

GenSpecifics:


And he's predecessors created the template you are using to define your biafran state.


Do not use the colonial drawn map of eastern Nigeria when drawing up your Biafra Republic.

Simple as.

Unlike your Nigeria that was created by the guns and bullets of the white man, we want Biafra created by democratic referendum, the proper way a country should be created. Not answering "Nigerian", a colonial slave name a white woman created in London

GenSpecifics:


So you intend to declare your Biafra from your parlour .

No problem , just ensure you don't cross one inch outside your containment zone .

Lugard declared Nigeria from less than a palour

SmartyPants:


Good point. So how was Nigeria created? By the consensus of lawmakers right? So now that it is time to break up, it should also be by the consensus of lawmakers too right? So like I've always said, if your people are ready to leave, they should put sustained pressure on their lawmakers starting from the state house to the national assembly, as well as their governors. Force them to present the issue as a united front. Without this pressure from the bottom-up, nothing will happen. Nobody will break up Nigeria because gidgidy on Nairaland asked for it.

So which Lawmakers were there when Lugard created Nigeria in 1914? Infact I thought it would be you guys that would be pushing for those you don't get along with to leave Nigeria? What do you need Lawmakers for? Unity begging is a disease

seanfer:


The problem with you and your ilks is that you don't want to accept that your so called past leaders are part of the originators of what we are facing today.
Zik rejected the secession because he wanted to rule a one Nigeria that has other tribes. Now see how things turned out to and his people are the ones shouting.

Zik was not there when Lugard created Nigeria in 1914, he does not have to be there whenever we decide Nigeria should end

predictor1:
He wanted to rule one Nigeria.

It was a mistake. Honestly I have no business sharing the same country with hausas and Ibos and the rest. Awolowo shouldn't have kept quiet. He should have taken his case to the British Parliament. He should have organized protests here like Kamuzu Banda did in Nyasaland now known as Malawi. Banda made sure his small country wasn't lumped in with Rhodesia. And he got what he wanted.

Same way Pakistan refused to go with India. Even the north wasn't keen on one Nigeria then. Only Azikiwe wanted one Nigeria out of greed. And through his British friends he got what he wanted. Awolowo was too quiet. Now both Ibos and Yorubas are held back by the seriously educationally crippled north. Lobatan.

Whenever there is talk about us going our seperate ways, some people will be talking about Zik and secession clause as if Zik owns Nigeria. Zik that has been dead some 40 years! We didn't have unity clause before Nigeria was created, but someone is looking for secession clause before dissolving Nigeria? Laughable
