Those fanning hate will not be left out when the country is set a blaze. Go find out from Rwandans.

When you read the full text, you mavel at how mischievous some person can be by twisting the narrative of article.

We need a united south now ever than before. Even with two candidates from the region, the aim should be that either of them should emerge in 2023 Rather than fight one another, the strategy for both should be how to sway the middle belt and part of the Core North.

I am neither Igbo or Yoruba but have schooled and lived in both regions respectively. The level of banter and hate displayed on Nairaland by both party, is a far cry from what is uptained in real sense.

In as much as am not in support of pipeline destruction but like the Americans say "You can't make an omelet without braking a few eggs".
We can't but agree that Nigeria requires restructuring and fiscal federalism. We need to stop scratching surface of issues and get down to crux. The South West championed these course in the past, so I wonder why the seemly silence on their part. #RestructureNigeriaNow

I wish i was the president of this nation..... those Niger Delta terrorists would've long been dealt with. how could 2% of the country's population be the topmost problem of the nation?

When 2% as you call it generate over 70% of your revenue, that itself is a problem. There is Economic Power just has you have Political Power. If not properly handled, they will bring the country to a stand still and eventually, disintegration.

What shitload of nonsense are you talking about?
For the past two or three decades it has always been the same - that the Niger Deltans think their land is being destroyed and that they have nothing to show for it, while they remain the proverbial Goose that supports the nation economically.

The truth is far from that.
Niger Deltans are lazy, thieves and drunks.
Billions upon billions of Dollars have been sunk into the area and the people but the outcome always remains the same. The money is stolen, wholescale, by the likes of NIMASA, Alams, Tompolo and other warlords.
The situation did not even change with their own GEJ as the vice president or president. With him, even more money was stolen and siphoned into the accounts of absolutely useless militants that have never had the real, poor populace of the Niger Delta at heart.
No resources were built - no hospitals, no schools, no airports, no roads or bridges... nothing of a lasting legacy.
Instead of sinking money into existing institutions and schools so that the local population benefit, they wasted billions sending clueless people to study abroad in mostly non-English speaking countries!!

Niger Deltans seem to be completely ignorant of current world affairs.
This is not only because they still think that wearing embarrassing vestiges of colonialism is a fashion statement.
The oil that they crave so much is becoming less and less of importance. That is exactly why Nigeria is in a shitty mess right now.
A barrel of oil is now less than $40!!!!!
Further, amongst other things, with hybrid and electricity vehicle technology improving year by year, things are going to become even worse.
The West is desperate to become less dependent on oil!

Niger Deltans are not farmers - Northerners are. Niger Deltans are not THAT educated - Yorubas are. Niger Deltans are not as industrious as the Igbos.
Yet, they think that separation from the North and West will be to their advantage, because of oil that is running out or becoming cheaper and cheaper every year.

Generally speaking, oil has been nothing but a curse to Nigeria. It is more or less the reason why some Nigerians send their children to Ghana to study!
The sooner we run out of oil and get our heads out of our stinking arses, the better.
Then, perhaps, the penny will drop and we start the real process towards nationhood.

Niger Deltans: Buhari is the least of your problems. You will always be your own worst enemies. May whichever God you worship and that bowler hat that you love eventually show you the way, amen!

I appreciate the fact that you took ample time to pen down you points. However, are the demands by Niger Delta irrational? Isn't it over dependants on oil that made other regions neglect exploring their natural resources. My brother, every state in the federation can be self sustainable and also contribute revenue to the central government if we all look inward. We as a collective brought the country to the point where a single region can hold the entire federation to ransome. I rest my case.
