Nuclear weapons are a hoax. They don't exist. Go on YouTube and type in 'nuclear weapons hoax'.

Who split the regions to states, Southerners?

ZombieTAMER:
I blame all those fools who voted for this old man to suffer him
This is a grandfather who ought to have be enjoying his retirement in his ranch in daura
These people are not yet done with this innocent man... They still torment him with chants of Sai baba... Instead of calling on him to do the needful and resign to go look after his health

It is obvious

Southern Cameroun is presently under Internet blackdown by the repressive Central French speaking government.

Mind you, the S. Cameroun was a part of present day Biafra region before the took off to join the French speaking side after they had an early independent.

Southern Cameroun is under serious marginalization because they speak English and are considered not being part of the struggle for independence.

The best choice is for them to align with IPOB and move the struggle together on international platform.
But IPOB should be careful cos taking in S. Cameroun means making a new powerful enemy - France.

Barrister Emma Nmezu was also also accused by
Chikaobu Jacobs

of not paying monthly dues. Bit I said this. That is why they don't treat and they were abusing me.


"to our notice?
Like Emma nmezu, director kept welcoming him on his own on the radio and calling him a good man, now tell me what is Emma nmezu's input since then and now?
We've been told that they don't even pay monthly dues, imagine that!
If you say he does, let him scan his receipt of payment and post it online that we may see it!
But that he hasn't done since the announcement.
So now you see!
CHIUKWU ABHIAMA HAS REJECTED THEM, AND SO WE NEED THEM NO MORE IN THIS STRUGGLE, PERIOD!"

This scrotum actually think there is a struggle anywhere

Alhaji Tafawa Balewa – 1948 • “Since 1914, the British Government have been trying to make Nigeria into one Country but the Nigerian people are historically different in their background, in their religious beliefs and customs, and do not show themselves any signs of willingness to unite …… Nigerian unity is only a British invention (imagination)”. Alhaji Tafawa Balewa became Nigeria’s first and ever Prime Minister and one of the leading icons of our independence

Chief Obafemi Awolowo “Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. There are no “Nigerians” in the same sense as there are “English”, “Welsh”, or “French”. The word “Nigerian” is merely a distinctive appellation to distinguish between those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not”. Chief Obafemi Awolowo became the first Premier of Western Region of Nigeria and a dominant political influence in the region and Nigeria. Nigeria; a nation founded on fear, doubt and mistrust.

A nation state is the progressive and evolutionary journey of the faith, vision, dream and values of their founding fathers. What Nigeria is today cannot be divorced from the faith and conviction of her founding leaders. The leading icons of our independence saw tribe, ethnicity and sectionalism but invariably did not see the possibility of a strong, virile and united nation.

What they saw of our differences was difficulties and complexities but missed the glorious picture of the limitless opportunities and promises of our diversities. They forged a nation they did not believe in and laid the foundation of a Nigerian state without a sovereign national will. In so doing, laid a national foundation based on sentiments, emotions and chance rather than principles and authoritative vision for national cohesion and transformation.

What our fathers had is what they gave the nation, perhaps given the time and circumstance. Our search for a true Nigerian state must begin from here. Our past is essential to determine why we are where we are. But what will decide our future is not what our fathers did or did not do. It is what our own generation determine to see, believe and fight for, especially at this defining moment of our history.

We cannot continue to see Nigeria from the selfish and narrow lenses of personal, ethnic, religious and sectional advantage and expect a glorious new era of national transformation and collective advancement. A new Nigeria defined by a common national spirit, character and vision is our responsibility. It is now or never.

America is an example of a heterogeneous society made up of the Irish Americans, Caucasians, Afro-Americans, Mexican Americans, Christians, Moslems, free thinkers. Yet united, advanced and made strong by a common and over-ridding national ideological values. They found both personal and collective meaning and strength in the timeless ideological truth of their collective equality and inalienable right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

The root cause of our national challenge is not in our over exaggerated religious, tribal and ethnic affections but our selfishness and absolute lack of principles. There is a fundamental problem when we allow our parochial considerations assume and command our allegiances over our national consciousness. Whatever gives us undue advantage over others will never establish our collective faith, trust and hope. Our challenge is the penchant for undue reward and benefit of opportunism, mediocrity and nepotism. The resultant delusion is everyone seeking for a “one Nigeria” yet hardly is anyone willing to give up his or her allegiance and commitment to his or her religion, tribe, ethnicity and socio-cultural affiliations. We all desire a progressive nation yet no body is prepared to give up the destructive and unjust reward of nepotism and sectionalism for merit, honor and hard work. This is Nigeria’s dilemma.

No one fights for a nation he or she does not believe in. The foundation of every nation’s civilization, development and greatness is the content of what the people hold as sacrosanct. What is fundamental to a people is what defines and determines their collective character, motivation and resolve. This is what makes them a people and what gives character and authenticity to their developmental quest. It is what gives a soul to a nation and a sense of pride to the people. Nationalism is neither legislated nor a matter of mere national orientation. Nationalism is a product of personal love and passion for one’s nation inspired by genuine relationship, trust and faith based on personal conviction and experience. Life begets life.

In every generation the people have deep seated yearnings and aspirations which cry out for fulfillment. Today, what will determine Nigeria’s destiny is not mere promises of electricity, roads and houses (as important as they are) but identity and self meaning. The reason roads and houses are still an issue after 52 years of our independence is simply because we are yet to have a nation beyond a mere geographical expression.

What a new generation of Nigerians yearns for today is a nation they would call their own; a nation to live for and if possible die for. Today’s generation of Nigerians yearn for something to believe in and to aspire for. It is unarguable that a people’s sovereignty is not in the quantum of electricity, roads and houses but a right to self determination and realization. It takes identity and sense of birth right to establish a people’s fundamental essence and character.

The battle against mistrust, apathy, corruption, insecurity and indiscipline that currently bedevils Nigeria and Nigerians cannot be won by the Army or Police, EFCC or ICPC. But by our sense of fundamentality and inner security produced by our collective sense of heritage, belonging and faith. A people will not only fight and defend their birth right but live for and if possible die for the interest of a nation they believe in.

We are largely incapable of responsibility as a people, because devoid of inner force of life, we are without strength of character. For life to have meaning, standard and motivation a people must have a fundamental sense of self value and purpose. When life is motivated by what we believe in motivation becomes a matter of character. Nationalism is neither legislated nor wished, nationalism is a matter of experience, conviction and love for one’s nation.



Allow the true Light burning sun in you to make our country a more better place for you and your generations. You had better contribute to nations building instead of division.

Long live Nigerians
Long live Nigeria
Long live good leadership

Long live me and our efforts

abayomi23:
shame on ekiti people . ambode is busy building bridges and massive infrastructure in lagos, ambode also funded lagos state employment trust fund with 25 billion naira annually and fayose is busy distributing poverty to ekiti people. their is God ooooooo.

omohayek:
You've captured the problem well: Nigeria's problem is the great mass of Nigerians themselves, most of whom are insanely tribalistic, woefully ignorant (yet highly opinionated), greedy for quick riches, indifferent to their civic responsibilities, and superstitious in the extreme, spending far more time in churches and mosques than they do grappling with the science and technology that actually makes nations rich.

Tazdroid:
Extreme poverty is the birth child of extremely poor leadership

blues20:
..... brilliant post so far. But will the nepotist that litters this forum see sense in the tweet? However, functioning on a full regional system will solve the problem to a certain point. It means that each region will push the best brain to top in other to compete favorably with other regions. No region will love to be stuck behind, on like what is obtainable today. So don't cancel out-rightly the agitation for regionalism.

Ngasky:
Sorry but has RUSSIA &CHINA fail with their systems?
Capitalism has failed over and over again check all the economic meltdowns what is the cause? CAPITALISM
And why countries still use capitalism? because it gives the leaders such powers to use the state resources to enrich themselves. Check all bailouts where does it go? Definitely not to poor citizens

cktheluckyman:
Story for the gods. Why on earth is the NIA DG not in custody? No mater how the APC media spins this ,we will never be deceived. The party will be kicked out in 2019 and true probe instituted into this shameful probe and cover up!!

oduastates:
This guy and his "no get sense" tweets .

Any multicultural, multi ethnic nation or organisation has to continue do ethnic balancing in all considerations.
You either do it or perish.
Nigeria has refused to restructure and we have no minimum acceptable standards.
The MSS is definitely too low .
otherwise, this clown would not have gone as far as he has

guiddoti:
Oga, what have I said that misinform people reading my comments. If I may ask you which power grid were they connected? wasnt it from gas plant generator? learn to understand argument. Sure, it was shared project, but being operated by foreigners. And again, those facilities you mentioned are owned by the foreigners. Did you know shell sold almost all their facilities in warri,Delta state?

I don't need tell you my ego since you have one. Go ask who own those fore mentioned RAs.

alfonso36:
Some of you wil l be in america and be getting angry when we insult Nigeria, you dont know how much we are going through, you dont know how hard we struggle to feed daily, you dont know how we sleep in darkness all the time, when your parents have labored so much to see you through school, and you come back home after graduating without job, you dont know how frusterating it is, how painful it is to see your family suffer without been able to help, if you are lucky and you got a job lets say like 20k monthly, its either you are been owed your Salary or one Oga is there frusterating your life, theres absolutely nothing to enjoy here, my friend travelled to Romania with the help of his parents, his first message to me was, guy we are living in hell in nigeria, Please nobody should come here and spit trash again o, None of you is even willing to help.

guiddoti:
let's not drag this issue. Government is not ready to work.

guiddoti:
yeah

guiddoti:
I will say the facilities are owned by foreigners and have powered their work stations. The issue with Nigerian government is, they never ready to make electricity project work.

guiddoti:

guiddoti:
That is why I said, the leaders are trading with the project. GE is one of the largest producer of turbine engines, of course, they are here to do business with Nigerian government, of which, if government really mean business, constant electricity is possible but it is all about trading to loot our money.

guiddoti:
Oil producing facility used recycling product to generate the power for the industry but it's not same for the environment. What I will want you understand is, the leaders are trading with the project of generating electricity.

henrydadon:
i love this thread..op congratulations on your arrival..escaping nigeria is no easy thing..i can realate with everything you went thorough..i remember when i first arrived and witness electricity for 1 week straight without the electricity blinking i just couldn't believe it was possible ..i was in awe of most thing..it take a while to adjust to things..especially the goddamn cold..i remember when i was in nigeria and i wish it snowed..lol..if only i knew what i was wishing for..there was a time i thought i was going to freeze to death from cold..but thank God for heater..the only thing i miss about nigeria is the weather...i can also realate with your friend hitting you up on social media and asking the "why you no tell us say you dey travel" question..every one just instantly want want to be your friend especially women who never even look at your side when you are in Nigeria..op please be mindful of the friend your keep and stay away from drug..i repeat stay very far away from drug..God bless you..i believe we shall have more testimony here in jesus name.

laudate:
Why you dey vex for am, nah? If they like, let them refuse to vote in 2019. Na dem go carry the repercussion for head, when the chips are down. In fact, I pray that they try it. Any president elected at that time will just remind them that he got 0% votes from their region. Wasn't it Buhari that reminded them that he got 5% votes from their region, so they should stop complaining about his lopsided appointments? What did they do? Many of them started crying that PMB hated them...can't you remember?

toofit007:
we shall surprise you come 2019, No voting in biafra land watch and see.

seguno2:
Do you think that Britain was different from this some centuries ago?
