₦airaland Forum

Hello all,

What are some Nigerian political topics you think deserve more public discussion? Kindly list them and explain why.

Apologies. Fixed the invite link for everyone trying to join. Please try again.

A community for Nigerians to discuss politics and practical development approaches for the country.

We talk about infrastructure, industrialization, policy, governance etc, and try to discuss things from a practical point of view as opposed to endless ideological and partisan arguments.

If you do not have a Discord account, it is a short process with only an email, username, date of birth and password required to sign up. Of course, your information other than your username is kept private by Discord so the group admins are unable to see it.

If you are interested in joining our group, here is the invite link: https://discord.com/invite/43TNYcDswZ

If you would like to join a community for people interested in the country’s politics and its development, follow this link here to join us: https://discord.com/invite/EPbXXNJUky

If anyone is interested, please go to Telegram and search in ProjectNaija. You should see the group chat with the Nigeria map outline come up, join and let’s have productive conversation about Nigeria’s future.

How can a federal state be fair?

A federating unit must be weighted according to the tax it pays. Not according to the population or according to any other metric but according to it's revenue. A federal state is a corporate body and if a corporate body is being funded or expecting revenue then stakeholdership will be determined by contribution which is a form of shareholding

The revenue will then be spent according to the wishes of the federal government which will be influenced by need and etc.

Such a system will only make the federating units to be competing among themselves in a fair manner leading to a stronger union and more development.

The representation should also be reviewable from time to time say every five to ten years. It should not be static so that every unit will be seeking ways to increase their stature.

The tax you pay as a constituency is something that can not be faked unlike other metrics. However what you get by using taxes is what you are going to get by using census figures if the cost of living in all federating units are the same. The difference can not be substantial.

This also is how the United Nations should be organised

Lawani, having read through some of your posts on Nairaland it seems you approach issues from a practical angle and not just out of emotion or ideological and party loyalty.

We have put together a small platform called Project Nigeria for people who want to go beyond the usual political back and forth and have more serious discussions around national development. We want to focus on real issues like electricity, public education, security, taxation, governance, jobs, economic reform, and implementation.

We want to bring together people who can look at problems seriously and discuss workable solutions.

It is on Discord, but the platform itself is not really the main thing. The point is to have a more focused space than Nairaland, where thoughtful people can build on ideas continuously instead of starting from scratch every time.

If you are open to it, I would like to invite you in.

If Oil Disappeared Tomorrow, What Would Nigeria Export?

Nigeria’s economy has depended heavily on crude oil for decades.

But oil markets are changing rapidly.

Global energy systems are evolving.

Some countries are already planning for a future where fossil fuel demand declines.

This raises a serious question:

If oil revenues reduced significantly tomorrow, what sectors could Nigeria rely on for export income?


Historically, Nigeria exported large quantities of agricultural commodities like:

✅Cocoa

✅Palm produce

✅Groundnuts


Countries that later focused heavily on these sectors built enormous agricultural export industries.

Today, global demand for food and agricultural products continues to grow as the world population increases.

Perhaps one of Nigeria’s biggest untapped opportunities still lies in agriculture.


The question is whether the country is ready to seriously rebuild that sector again.

What do you think?

Should agriculture become Nigeria’s next major export industry?

You seem very knowledgeable about economics and approach things from a practical angle. We have a small platform called Project Nigeria for people who want to move beyond the usual political back and forth and have more serious discussions around national development. Our goal is to focus on real issues such as electricity, public education, security, taxation, governance, jobs, economic reform, and implementation.

One thing we trying to do is bring people together who can look at problems seriously and discuss workable solutions.
