Gbawe:
Was OBJ ever about power to the people and development of the common man as Buhari is? This is why I keep stressing that we must understand what we have gained and where we stand exactly in Nigeria today. PDP is all about a patronage system that feeds 'awon boyz' first. Any President produced by the PDP must first bow to and pay homage to this system. That always east that we would always struggle as a region, even when we had men/women of ideas, because we could not completely circlet a centre that insisted on constituting itself into an impediment to us whether it was OBJ or GEJ in charge.

Today things are very different and we have it as best as we can have it. I.e we are linked to the centre through the APC and Osinbajo who is becoming more influential and closer to Buhari. We have Yoruba ministers in positions critical to the development of Nigeria and the SW. Why are we not taking about realities like this that we can capitalise upon?

And you assume that the others are pro-power-to-the-people?

Unless they use their powers to sway the power from federalism to regionalism, won ko ti se nkankan.

IyaIode:
I don't think the number we will get from this will be significant enough, have you seen the table on current expenditure vs actual income of these state?
In fact Osun should scrap its civil service except teachers and doctors.
Everybody to the farm

Lol the thing vex you gan

GspotAngela:
Aregbosola deserves to be stripped nake.d, flogged, nailed & crucified on a cross

Yes. Like the fake messiah.

modath:
How do we make it happen? I'm 150% for that...

Mining is another option, but how do we translate it from idea to reality ??

Your sister freeglobe just created a thread & invited her acolytes to battle... I can't stop laughing...

Cc; gbawe & Aareonakakanfo

By investing in regional groups like DAWN + SWIT that are currently encouraging agriculture in the SW.


As per mining, may Obatala give Fayemi the wisdom to make mining state regulated. After that, we can begin to talk about the specifics.
Do we even have quarries in Nigeria?

As per freeglobe, it's a he. I've already reported the thread. Let them talk nna nna for 1 hr, e go tire them.

modath:
Bros unless we are intent on lying to ourselves, Nothing FOR NOW!!.

If people are laid off, with no other kind of industry to absorb them, & also bearing in mind that our financial institutions are not programmed to support SMEs,.......


WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES??

Farming and living within ones means.

You can't be making Toyota and thinking to buy Lamborghini. You gotta work for it.

Make our cocoa and palm oil business lucrative again.

Gbawe,

I don't see why we can't multitask: encourage, criticize and applaud.

I'm still looking for something to applaud.

You're mainly trying to tell ME that I can't criticize the likes of Aregbesola who likes to spend beyond their means? Aseju ni yen.


Let's not try to save face online because of mischievous fellows. By doing so, were protecting mediocrity.

Some of these political stooges check out nl.

Gbawe:
Can you not see it? for the first time since 1999 we are now linked to a benevolent centre that will partner us and grant concession that can assist our development and that of all region that wishes to be serious and focused. You think it is for nothing Buhari has made Fayemi Minister of solid minerals when the sector was rendered moribund by political indolence and lack of goodwill in the past? As far as I see it, the situation is akin to being in prison for so long that you do not even want to leave your cell when the door is opened and you are told to leave. You insist on remaining where you are, cursing the wardens and lampooning the food when you are not impeded from walking out of the door into a new life that could be wonderful and fulfilled regardless of your past and prison years. We Yorubas should look at where we are and brainstorm how we must not squander this golden chance to work with a centre we now have so much influence in to better ourselves.

Too early to tell. We can only hope.

I wonder what OBJ's presidency brought to the SW.

Gbawe & shymmex,

I can see both sides.

Gbawe, you mentioned being positive. Apart from political positions, when considering SW politicians, what should we be positive about?

modath:
Fire de!!! Ajala ta ni no ooo ....

My post fit right into your bias ba??

You are always here to hammer on the inadequacies of the SW govs but will scurry away when the cupabilities of your party at the FEDERAL LEVEL.. is being highlighted..

States isn't my forte but I've been here prior to OBJ so we can tell the real story not your party's version..

Your intentions aren't pure & we ALL know it.....


Nuff said about this, will be in Ghost mode till we move on to the next..

Hammer on the nail.

As long as you don't grab Ijaw lands......you're good to go.

tonychristopher:
Hi

Pls don't derail this beautiful thread sir..why talk about progrom why leave in past ..I think you should be brainstorming on how to salvage western Nigeria from the financial miasma they are in


Pls forget Biafra ...it will do you so many good ...don't divert the attention and make suggestions and the sensible ones have been making here pls


Bye

Then stop mentioning Yoruba. The only thing that keeps Biafra alive is the mention of Yorubas....

If Igbos start moving back to the east, no yoruba man will stop them.

You better start packing your bags because this ain't happening

pazienza:
[b] 1. Close down Lagos ports and Open up PH, Calabar, Onitsha and Warri.
2. Cancel all direct and major connecting flights to Lagos and Abuja airports...only local or minimal connecting flights will be allowed. While this is being done, open up Enugu, Owerri, Asaba, Uyo and PH to international flights...direct and major connecting flights.
3. Ask all international and diplomatic missions to move their embassies and consulates from Lagos and Abuja to Enugu, PH and Calabar.
4. All federal governments agencies in Lagos and Abuja shall be relocated to Enugu, PH and Calabar. CBN, NNPC,e.t.c shall and must relocate to PH, Calabar and Enugu.
5. All multinational companies in Lagos and Abuja, shall and must relocate their offices to PH, Calabar and Enugu.
6 Relocate the Nigerian capital to Calabar, PH, Enugu or Asaba

7. If these conditions can be fulfilled and implemented, we can try one Nigeria and let's see if you Hausas and Yorubas will like it for a month. Meaning, Yorubas and Hausas needing to get visas shall travel to PH, Calabar or Enugu to do that. Same with flying or connecting flights, same with shipping and importing their goods, e.t.c. [/b]

If the guy is not retarded but instead interested in the future of his generation unborn rather than on the price of shawarma, the above is the sense he should be talking into his Arewa-Oduanistan friends.

chukwuma is Yoruba - xtrorse

So we should light candles for just 30 inconsequential lives wasted in Paris?


How many packets did they lit for dead Nigerians when Boko Haram was persistently murdering in hundreds

Exactly!

Exactttttttly.

I'll use my candles to roast corn, thank you very much.

Brandnew2:
My heart goes out to people living over there.
It must be a terrifying experience.

How about the fears of MB/Southerners who get hacked to death by Fulanis in the middle of the night?

Kwankwaso, bring your uncircumcised azz in this thread.

You guys wanna bomb nl abi.

I'd like to read your fulani herdsmen experiences. Do they behave the same up North or is a South thing?

Funny thing is, fuel prices is quite cheap over here for $1.90/gallon today, yet the owners of oil are suffering.

Great. They should start walking and biking. Maybe then, they'll demand proper road marking, bike lanes and sidewalk.

Potbelly reduction period.
