₦airaland Forum

Members from the South -South , led by the Minority Leader , Mr . Leo Ogor , also supported the bill .
“ Every zone deserves a commission because this country needs to be restructured. We cannot continue this way,

This is the perfect excuse and time for the South (south south, East and west) to push for restructuring or a referendum.

South East leaders need to be proactive. Somebody should push the bill or motion. Who will bell the cat

This one worse pass lai Muhammed

Even if fashola bows for a lifetime, it won't be enough. Maybe when it gets to his fourth generation

9jakohai:
It would be a good idea to force the Senate to cut its spending....but that won't provide the extra money we need to keep fuel prcies low...nor would it build the five new refineries we need to end fuel imports.

(And we don;t even have the means to get cash....oil is low).

Trust me, the billions going to the National assembly in different forms and headings will be enough to subsidise fuel and let us buy fuel for less than 100 naira

Problem with the US, is that their military hardware are always pricey and well inflated. That's why their defence budget is one of the highest in the world. Russia will build this ship for half or quarter of the price

Nice move. The harder they make things, the faster the masses do the needful and occupy nass till we have a review of their bogus salary and allowances.

Thumbs up senators

How many times will they commission this monorail project?

Ajewealth123:
a woman cannot become Nigeria's president, they will be worse than Jonathan.
They are easy to manipulate and overide.
Cecelia ibruprofen
And now this woman

Auto correct wahala

The only solution is for the youths around there to Form vigilate groups, across every Street. And yes I think the LASG is complicit because their silence is deafening.

Why is LASG quiet? This have been going on for months.

I just checked the guys Facebook page now. I didn't see the stuff you uploaded. Try and contact his family via Facebook let the world know what kind of person he his.

This is one of the reasons why It is hard to do good

Why is Lagos State government quiet? who is harvesting this life's? To what purpose? At first it was just rape they rape victims until they started killing victims. It's the silence of LASG that is worrisome

Ogbuefi2020:
NO, jonathan gave everybody 2014 conference to express themselves and reach a workable recommendation

He had one full year after the conference to implement the outcome yet he didn't. Abeg lets admit, Jonathan failed.
A sovereign national conference would have been a solution to start with

Implementing the 2014 Congress report would have been progress.

He just wasted people's time a money constituting a conference

hillsiderfak:
I know, but if you had the chance, will you vote For or against their Independence

No not ever!!!you can't get the best out of people when you keep forcing them for over 5o years to do what they don't want to do

As things stand, restructuring requires amending the constitution to accommodate referendum or, in the alternative, a constitutional amendment to the 1999 constitution, which in this case must be supported by majority of legislators in 24 states of the federation as enshrined in Section 9 of the constitution.

http://www.socialtimesng.net/2017/05/fg-why-restructuring-wont-work-now/

But one thing that is certain is the inevitable implication that abolishing states through restructuring process will certainly translate to the eventual multiplier effect of abolishing the state house of assembly and perhaps downsizing the National Assembly and probably the civil service and other related federal institution

This is not funny. What he is saying in essence is that restructuring or referendum is totally impossible . Since it will lead to down sizing of the Senate and state HOA. Since this are the same guys that are supposed to push for restructuring then it is impossible.

I guess we will have to seek other route asides the Senate then

hillsiderfak:
Before southern Sudan was giving independence by the government in Khartoum, the people of southern Sudan where giving a chance to vote if they really wanted to have their own country , I should point out to you that people in southern Sudan also had similar claims like the great people of Eastern Nigeria about being marginalised despite the fact that the bulk of the country's oil ( sudan ) was in the south, they voted and you know the rest. If giving the chance do you think the people of Eastern Nigeria will vote for independence and if other part of Nigeria are told to vote will they vote to let eastern Nigeria be Independence . This process I believe is called a referendum .

E no concern the other parts. The referendum will be held in parts of Nigeria that want to go with biafra

Mynd44 no go see this one oo

Is this video real!! See as chills dey catch me

tobimillar:
What are you afraid of? They want biafra, why can't we let them? What are we benefiting from their continued stay? We say they will suffer if they have biafra, why should that bother us?
I am yoruba and I support biafra

Hm

WORLDPEACE:
Why You Should Not Get Caught Up In Intertribal E-fights

Been on this forum for a minute and I see the inter-tribal fights never end. I think it is really slow and I hope I can appeal to your common sense. Here are a few reasons if you care about upgrading your intelligence.
1. E-tribalists are cowards.
Faceless forums help people become anything they want to be. Some people think they can become supermen of their tribes, combing every nook and cranny of the internet, defending their tribes and attacking others. No sane person in real life goes about attacking other people 24/7 without ever caring what people think of them. Even an insane person would have to work really hard at it. We might attack others in moments of careless insensitivity that can be chalked up to temporary insanity, but no one is temporarily insane all the time.
So if you fight people of other tribes here all day but keep your mouth shut in the streets, you are just a coward. Don’t be a coward masquerading as an insane person. Cowardice is not an admirable quality.

2. Many E-tribalists are minors.
By this I mean many nairaland tribalists have not yet reached the legal age of maturity which is 18. Unfortunately, the forums membership rules does not include being an adult before you can comment on topics. So by law many of the guys fighting here are not yet fully responsible for their actions. Being able to read and write is all you need to be here, and you don’t even need to be proficient at it. Once you can string together a few social media abbreviations you are good to go.
A young person’s views on things changes very fast. Seven years from now, they probably wouldn’t believe half of the things they believe right now. That also includes the way they feel about other peoples. So before you start getting irate and loading your virtual clip at a minor, remember that.


3. You don’t want to be a weak and sentimental person
The war you are fighting is as old as man and will never be won. You are never going to silence everybody who feels some type of way about you. You can’t prove a point to everyone who thinks they are better than you just by virtue of their belonging to a particular tribe.
If someone says something derogatory about your people and you dwell on it you are just going to want to get even. Instead of that, just look at it as a chance to prove to yourself that you have self-control.

4. It’s not that important
Really, it is not. All that noise you’re making, the Fagani people of the Solomon Islands don’t know about it. I had to use google to know the Fagani people exist. They don’t know about how annoying that tribe that occupies the territory not far from yours is. You don’t know about the Fagani people and their enemies either. They know that they are not the only humans on this earth though. That’s all that counts. We are all humans and we are related. In a two thousand years, all Nigerian tribes may not exist anymore, but their genes will continue. That’s what’s important

That’s it for now. You can add yours.

Send me a link, I want to read about the fagani people of Solomon island. Google didn't turn up anything meaningful

Ask villa? And we are asking shehu, feminine and akande. Did we vote for shehu? Akande or femi? Gerrarahia men. You call yourself presidency, is it laolu, shehu and femi that constitute the presidency?

Ijaws learnt from the yoruba's. They saw how the igbo's are claiming that Lagos is a no man's land. They don't want their ijaw's land to be no man's land. So they keep treating igbo's as visitors who have overstayed their welcome

Ayilala ooo!!

Nigerian need to learn how to read

Na now this story dey enter front page?
Smh for this new nairaland. Something wey Don dey trend for almost one week

If you are on nairaland and you are not active on quora, reddit, or BBC, you will be missing out on vital happenings around the world. Nairaland these days is all about naija celebrities and bad news

I'd rather use the money for MMM

You see why it is not good to be too accommodating.

Yoruba's took the igbo's in and suddenly Lagos became a no man's land.

The itsekiri's took the ijaw's in and suddenly they become the visitors

Now it's Benin and ijaws.

Mezurum01:
slowpoke man, that's how you will be prostrating to her for everything even when she is wrong in the marriage eventually.

Nna calm down na him mother-in-law him dey prostrate for no be him wife

Some will gladly choose the mother over the . Don't ask me why

Reading all the comments here, I can't believe we have intelligent people here on nairaland. I am so used to seeing afonja and Igbo.

This is one of the best thread I have seen in this politics section on nairaland. Nice submissions.
