I never supported restructuring in the first place for similar reasons but I realised that our current system is not any better. Politicians would always want to cut corners and further dip their hands into the national purse - that's a given.
Like I always say, bad leadership is the bane of our democracy. Restructuring won't halt bad leadership but it would help in so many ways.

i said leave it for me let it be rule by a sole administrator at least it is my state and not your state, face your state that will not be rule by a sole administrator. this is not a matter of chest beating just keep cool and watch events as they unfold. we came fully prepared for this struggle and we shall do all it take to bring it into fruition. everything that is going on in Biafraland has been strategically planned and I can assure you that no force or forces can quench the resolve of a determined set of people.in case your not aware, this is complete revolution loading and no force or forces can stop it...... go and mark my words. watch and see, the day of election will come and go but the out come will send shivers down the entire world spine. watch and see anambra election may put an end to this fraudulent entity called Nigeria.

Government actually don't have real power (or ability) to ban foreign movie/music production in Nigeria. They may try, but they can only hurt their government in doing so.

Fact is, APC is a socialist cum communist party who think they can get everything done with silly regulations.

But the bigger fact is, Psquare (or anyone in Nollywood) can shoot their videos abroad and distribute it online without touching Nigeria physically, and the silly APC government will do ABSUTELY NOTHING about it.

These guys are just a bunch of clueless opportunists masqurading as leaders. The only language they seem to understand is dumb regulation and more dumb regulations.

APC don't know the meaning of incentives and inclusiveness.

Ehiscotch:
Restructuring is not about division.
Division and agitation is only increasing the pressure.
Restructuring is about delivering the dividends of democracy and good governance.

Ehiscotch:
Whether you like it or not it is the truth.
The PDP are trying to pretend like it never had the chance to do so.
But the APC should also know that NIGERIA are a patient people. We gave a chance for that distorted version of Federalism to thrive. It hasn't worked so we need to move on.
They need to man up to their responsibilities. They practically own the NASS.
Restructuring is the only way.

prodigy24:
You are simply ignorant, how can you compare Ezeemo with these excuse of governors?; Ezeemo is very refined gentleman. He knows what good governance entails. His blue print is 21st century oriented. You need to watch him speak.

prodigy24:
See this one, what do you know about Anambra state and Ezeemo? Ezeemo is not coming to bring the kind of change APC handed over to the Nigerian, but he has come to use his wealth experience to revamp agricultural sector, industrial revolution, and infrastructural development, with his program SHAPE( SECURITY, HEALTH, AGRICULTURE,POWER,AND EDUCATION AMD EMPOWERMENT) we can not continue with this media propaganda Aanmbra belongs to all of us.We must restore order and sanity in our polity with EZEEMO.

Dear Nairalander,

Please I have searched the internet for A Nigerian Aircraft Carrier like the Ussr George Bush and only saw "Edo, Ogun and Akwa-ibom" without reference to an Aircraft Carrier. I want to know if we do especially from our Gallant Navy Friends in Nairaland.

Young man, you and Fashola make zero sense at all. If we pay for the infrastructure, we could as well pay for the maintenance of the Dam. You seem to think these things need rocket science to do. Whatever the togolese and benenoise have done to help channel water out of the dam or to keep it flowing, we have the capacity to do a 100 times over, so we can enjoy out total output, Instead of selling our generated output to them. It is not as if we are over serviced. simple logic, we sell to make money whereas we are starved.
If I need to tell Fashola or any government official what to do to make things work, then they do not deserve to be in government. if you choose to believe their craap then you are not ready for development.
Again, I am disappointed in Fashola. I can give him a full dossier of alternatives. But then, he is the minister, I am only a citizen.

ElSherriff:
Eya, so you took the bait?
If actually they are helping Nigeria through ensuring our dams do not overflow, how come they still have to pay for our electricity?

I think the best way to handle situation like this is to go into dialogue not until its becomes late. government should listen to this people to avoid loss of life before intervention we all have people in all the regions either friends or relatives govt should pls look into this ,this is how civil war started during Gowon It was like play it broke out to becomes something else we should always learn from our mistakes. I also commend osinbajo for his leadership display but sir we expect more from you sir, am not here to blame anyone but I believe with dialogue there will be permanent solution to this,finally there is no Gain in war like the wise use to say war is like a fire easy to start but very difficult to end one can know the beginning of war but no one knows the end of war let's live in peace. God bless Nigeria

afonjaheadhunt:
This write up is to address the blatant lie and outright misinformation by Yorubas and other ignorant Nigerians alike. Taking a cue from other successful non violent secessions in Africa and across the globe one would realize that most of the write ups come from ill informed people and is simply the wishful thinking of lazy youths and one Nigeria praise singers whom want to reap were they have not sowed and want to use fear to make the Igbo's submit to one Nigeria, while that is impossible let me take a minute or two to educate the illiterates and to think that one even claimed to be a lawyer yet ignorant to simple international laws that preceded national borders, national laws or local politics of hate. Looking at global standard practice from countries like Sudan, Ethiopia, USSR, EU, UK, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, etc, to numerous to mention. Why will the case of Nigeria be different except you want us all to agree that Nigeria is a Zoo like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have always opined.

Now let me make it clear that as soon as Biafra is declared a nation both Nigeria and Biafra becomes two sovereign nations subject to international laws, which supersedes that of Nigeria or Biafra, we are subject to Ecowas laws, African Union laws and UN laws as guiding sovereignty of nations and citizens therein, Biafrans being west Africa nationals will be free to live and work within any part of Nigeria and west African countries with an Ecowas passport, many Biafrans will have dual citizenship status of both Nigeria and Biafra, Igbo money in the banks will also be safe in their current banks which will also operate in Biafra subject to Biafra Central bank laws, however it is advisable to use Diamond, Fidelity or UBA bank now. Nigeria could not touch Igbo's money during the war the only way they could achieve that was to change their currency from Nigeria Pound to Nigeria Naira and deny payment, but that will not work any more if Biafran becomes a sovereign country peacefully especially now that banking is digital and global.

As for our investment and saying countries do not tolerate petty trading in their countries, that will not affect Igbo's in Nigeria rather it will define Igbo's investment in Nigeria by properly stating our worth, values, tax, and our IGR contribution, already Igbo's markets in Lagos are worth well over 500,000.00 USD I am not even talking about the goods, I am talking about the value of property and markets built by Igbo's in Nigeria, markets like Alaba international, ASPANDA (Trade Fair) Oduade (Building materials markets) these markets were solely built by Igbo investors and would beat and mark or investment capital put by the government, take a market like ASPANDA for example it comes with it's own flyover to prevent traffic gridlocks for customers coming to the market, has several police post, Banks, fire station, eatries, a field, etc. Also take Alaba for example it is one of the largest electronic market in west Africa, same for Oduade, these markets have all beat the investment benchmark, The only Igbo market that would be affected would be the Ladipo Auto Market but as we all know the have requested to be given a site to build their own market, so they are equally up to the task.

On this note if Nigeria should find tricks outside the book to steal from Biafra and rob them off what is rightfully theirs they will not just be creating friction with other west African or African countries but the rest of the world and sending a negative message to investors and other multinationals, this also makes it very easy for Biafra to challenge Nigeria's decision in a competent court of law, owning properties in your country is not illegal and in a case of secession you are not meant to loose your properties simply because of ones quest for nationhood more over it is the citizen that are represented and not the nation to it is illegal to take from citizens to spite a nation rather should Nigeria want to take actions against Biafra those action be taken against Biafra directly not its citizens living on their soil indirectly, Nigeria can do this by giving bans on importation of goods made in Biafra, allowing access though it borders, but to carry any illegal action against legitimate Biafrans living in Nigeria legally with an Ecowas passport is a breach of the law in it own doing.

Yoruba must understand that Frustrating Igbo businessmen, real estate owners or investors in their region will not add to South west rather it will take away from them, Yoruba leaders know this and see Igbo's as investors and economic drivers and strive to provide an enabling environment for Igbo's to live and do business in SW it is unfortunate that Yoruba youths think otherwise and wish to claim Igbo properties in Lagos by hoping that Igbo's are displaced of their properties and financial earning. What these so called youth have failed to realize is the devastating effects and implications that it will have in the region and Igbo's would always continue in their trade if not in SW or Nigeria they will continue their trade in Biafra, west Africa and every other country that has an airport and a seaport.

In the event of Igbo abandoning their properties in Lagos, the real estate of Lagos will depreciate and many of the properties will be vacant and occupied by peasants, illiterates, artisans and beggars thus watering down the status and class of the city. The earnings of the state government through the sea ports, airport, Tenement tax etc will witness a massive plunge. However should it be extended to Igbo business men and investors then the effect will be far overbearing for the city as the city will become a mere town and a shadow of itself, a perfect example is during Christmas celebrations when many Igbo's in Lagos travel for the celebrations, some might want to argue that other Yorubas in other states will fill those opportunities left by the Igbo's, then the question is who fills those left by the Yorubas. Take the abandoned properties saga in Rivers state for example, many of the properties abandoned by the Igbo's were inhabited by fishermen, farmers, petty traders and artisans look at those properties today the have not been maintained and it did not better the lives of those who took them while the Igbo's have come back to buy many of them back and even built new ones.

Did I also mention that they are Igbo's owned companies, banks, Tele communication providers, businesses, factories, industries etc that are littered all over the SW and the federation do you realize how much will be lost in tax payment to these companies do you realize the level of unemployment that their exit will guarantee and the kind of dangers and insecurity that it will pose. The relevance of Igbo's to the economic stability and progress of the federation cannot be over emphasized in as much as it remains a sweet dream to own Igbo properties but in reality the dangers are far too impending to let it befall a city like Lagos that have survived on the generosity of the common wealth and diversity of Nigerians and especially Igbo's. Some might say indigenization policy, but ask yourselves where are the one you initially indigenized. So while it might be a beggars wish Yoruba leader will not let them ride its horse because as far as the are concerned Lagos has to attain its 2020 and 2050 goals but the bitter truth is depriving the Igbo's of the gains of Lagos is also hurting its goal, a clear case of cutting the nose to spite the face.

These assumptions are solely the wishes of the poor illiterate Yorubas especially the youths amongst them who are lazy wish to reap where they did not sow, so they pray that such evil befall the Igbo's so that they can reap what the Igbo's have sown but it should be noted that as long as the Igbo's secede legitimately without violence or warfare then these wishful thinking remains exactly what it is nothing but mere wishful thinking a mirage and fictitious expectations. I advice such Yorubas to stop wasting the youthful years of their lives waiting for Igbo's to loose their properties so they can own it and become landlords of homes that they do not know when the foundation was conceived. Igbo's will not loose their property in an event of a non-violent and successful disintegration of Nigeria and actualization of Biafra.

A question for those set of Yorubas, have you thought of the fact that if Biafra secedes other regions will seek to be free from Nigeria as well? in such case will these their wishful thinking also apply to other secessionists or will it just be for the Igbo's, if the later is the answers that goes to show that it is a clear case of hate, jealousy, animosity and wickedness for the Igbo's that have bore this thoughts and not the legitimacy of the rational behind it. Biafra or One Nigeria Igbo's will continue to live and do business in Nigeria legitimately without fear or favor as enemies of Ndigbo would wish.

Haha!

Your friends in the mod dept have decided to come save your a$$ by deleting my posts, while neglecting your posts right. Cry, cry!!!

Au revoir!

-Lord

LordAdam16:
Where in that article, did it prove this statement of yours:



Where in that article did it report that Sudan declared war on the South when the pipeline issue arose?

You are even more stu**d that previously thought, you can't even read the headline -- "South Sudan says Sudan tried to build "illegal" oil pipeline."



That proves my statement. Can you bring say the same for the bunch of trash you've been typing.

And this episode you're referring to was after the Heglig crisis.



So you skipped the pipeline negotiations fall out of 2011, skipped the Heglig crisis of 2012 when South Sudan invaded Sudan, and then landed on the skirmishes over illegal building of pipelines by Sudan as the cause of a war that NEVER HAPPENED!

In that same article, this was written:



Clashes in the ill-defined border region, not the pipeline crisis, was the cause of concern, and more importantly, no new war occurred. Instead later in 2013, the South Sudan civil war started.

So ID**T, again I ask, can you bring any article that proves this st*p*d statement of yours:



ID**T.

-Lord

The division gave South Sudan about three quarters of the country's oil production, but it must still use pipelines and other facilities running through Sudan to export it, and the two have failed to agree how much it should pay to do this.

South Sudan's army "discovered an illegal pipeline that was being built by Sudan ... This is oil piracy," military spokesman Philip Aguer said by phone on Thursday, a day after South Sudan said it had shot down a Sudanese MiG-29 aircraft over South Sudan's oil-producing Unity state.


The two former civil war foes have been locked in a bitter dispute over oil payments and other issues, and clashes in the ill-defined border region last week gave rise to concern they might blow up into a new war.

Like kanu said, an average IPOB member lacks the ability to reason, congratulations!!! you have proved to the world how mentally deficient you are, remember, the internet hardly forgets

What you do not know is that by April 2012, north and South have not reached any deal on that pipeline use confirmed by the very first paragraph in that article, You can not convince any sane person you know of any 2011 deal when you have been ranting in denial of any pipeline crisis.

in fact, that Article was written on 5th April 2012, South sudan had independence in 2011 by April 2012, no agreement has been reached, i don't really expect you to know that do I?
The South shot down an MIG belonging to the North in April 2012, im sure you don't know that MiG-29 is a war plane, neither do i expect you to know that when two warring sides start shooting down their planes that such aggression is an act of war!!
You see how the half education you have has put you to shame!!

You can send Nnamdi Kanu to me for proper schooling

LordAdam16:
ID**T!

Before independence, the North and South had an agreement that the North would receive 50% of the share of oil proceeds from the South since the pipelines ran through the North to Port Sudan. This agreement was to run from 2005 to 2011 when the referendum was to occur.

After independence in 2011, the North still wanted the 50-50 split and Sudan wanted to charge US$34 per barrel to transport oil through the pipeline to the oil terminal at Port Sudan.

In response, South Sudan suspended oil production in [b]January[/b0] 2012.

So what 2012 pipeline crises are you talking about? And more importantly how did it lead to a war between Sudan and South Sudan, since the Heglig Crisis and the pipeline crises were two different crisis. One was South Sudan seizing the oilfields in Heglig (located in Sudan, and so it was South Sudan invading and not the other way around) and the other about Sudan asking for unfair renumeration to transport South Sudanese crude.

Should I look for a Yoruba translator to translate this for you, since you've shown to be completely inept at reading and comprehension?

That is why I'm asking you, if you have just one news source to prove this statement of yours:



Just one!

And expectedly, you can't find one. Not even one.

So you are a pathological l**r who shouldn't be taken seriously.

You are an ID**T!

-Lord

You see why it is useless showing an IPOB member an article, where is the brain to understand it? This is your last chance, tell us what this Article is saying to prove you are not dumb!

LordAdam16:
So everyone with TV in 2012 knew about the Sudan pipeline crisis, but no news agency posted the news on their website. What sort of ignorant m*r*n are you?

So you can't bring just one news website about the pipeline crisis and how it led to the invasion of South Sudan by Sudan. Just one?

Why not you bring one single news article of how Sudan declared war on South Sudan because of a pipeline issue?

Just one!

You are an id**t who is a specialist in typing trash and today is your day of reckoning!

-Lord

Are you saying that till this moment you still don't know there was a pipeline crisis before the civil war?
this is the highest level of mental ineptitude. I will not show you any article because you are too dumb to understand it.
Ok!! prove you are not dumb, what does this Article say?

http://www.reuters.com/article/uk-southsudan-pipeline-idUKBRE83412M20120405

LordAdam16:
M*d g**t.

Why not you read the sources and comprehend?

Or do I have to do that for you too? Bring your own link, you can't; I brought mine, you still can't read.

What sort of homo stupidus are you?

Better go and buy sense. Ignorat Illiterate!

I'm still waiting for your link. If your link is not in your next reply, then everyone would know you've been talking out of your a$$ all along. Including the demented f*llas that have been applauding your st*pidit*.

Bring your link or forever hide yourself in shame after been repeatedly trounced.

-Lord

LordAdam16:
Now I know you need to see a psychiatrist.

How about you bring an authority quote from your "better source," any source that shows Colonel Mohammed Shuwa did not start the war on 6 July 1967, that Shell-BP did not pay Biafra after the war started when they were advised against it by the British government, and that Nigerian troops did not capture Bonny Island towards the end of the July 1967.

Just one source?

These are the references and Bibliographies for that Wikipedia Article. Removed some as the post was too long. You can find all of them in the link -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Civil_War

I would rip you to shreds, d*mw*t.



Tell me you know more than these resources or just provide one source that is more credible than all 100+ sources here.

Illiterate!

Jeez!! this guy's mental weakness is out of this world, which of your Wikipedia sources collaborated the lie you told us?? you posted so many, Im certain your mental weakness didnt allow you to read any.

i normally would have backed off at this point but im just enjoying how ego and pride can reduce an elephant to a worm. if soneone thinks you to be a foool, you better refrain from doing what will make him know for certainty that you are a foool. my 1% advice.

The thing you have in common with the block head quoting me everywhere is plain ignorance, as usual, both of you want to learn with arrogance, a privilege I will not give any of you, anybody with a TV in 2012 knew when the Sudan pipeline crisis occurred (Economic and border disagreements), shortly after their independence, he thinks the civil war of 2013 was the beginning of the Sudanese crisis (political issue), imagine if someone tells you that Yaradua was President before Obasanjo, what will you do? show him links or enjoy his buffoonery? I have chosen the later.
He actually calls himself a "Lord" , dumb "Lord"
