[b]Nigeria will never move forward till Nigerians accept the futility of forcing the co-existence of different nations in one ungovernable entity called Nigeria. Of what use is it to blindfold yourselves just because you don't want to see and believe how complicated and anti-developmental this British creation is, in the name of unreasonable agitation for "One Nigeria"?
We keep fighting against each other politically, socially, religiously and economically, yet we expect some sort of magic to happen for Nigerian ethnic groups to hug themselves and move the country forward. Is it not glaring that for 50 years Nigerians have concentrated on fighting and trying to out do each other, than coming together to lift the country? People fail to see beyond their noses. We can make good use of this constant disunity among Nigerian ethnic groups by molding a new political atmosphere that will turn the hatred and strife to competition among the ethnic groups. Regional politics was more effective than this senseless unity in diversity that Nigeria is pretending to practice.
One thing that the agitators for"One Nigeria" does not understand is that a crumbling house can only be stopped from crumbling if either a new one is built, or it is pulled down by the owner. If the owner of the house foolishly ties his eyes to pretend that his house is not crumbling, then the house will crumble on him while his eyes are tied.
Quit pretending. Even If Nigeria remains this way in 100 years time, We will never ever move forward. In fact we are just 30 years behind developed nations now. By 100 years time, we will be 70 years behind the developed world.

Kobojunkie is NOT Igbo, she grew up in the East. Certainly she schooled in Aba (she said so) but has family in Enugu.

If she grew up in the East and still writes Igbo as"Ibo", then she either gat a problem with Igbos or she simply didn't mix up with Igbos. Anyone that grew in Igboland would not make such a mistake.
Anyway, it seems she gat a problem with Igbos. If she could read this post, she should know that it is Igbo, not Ibo.

Politics › Bloody Eid-el Maulud In Jos As 12 More Nigerians Are Killed by Justcash(op): 10:41am On Feb 16, 2011

This is becoming alarming. So in Jos, anyone can be butchered for nothing?

It was indeed another bloody day for residents of Jos, Plateau State, at the eid-el maulud celebration Tuesday as 12 persons, including a riot policeman around whom the killings revolved, lost their lives in cruel and untoward circumstances in the Terminus area of the city.

Panic, tension and stampede, all enveloped the city centre, as cars collided headlong, smashing windshields and rending bumpers asunder in desperate moves by motorists to escape from being caught in the madness that began at the Abuja Market in the area.

It all began when the policeman, who was on duty but went to purchase meat from an Hausa butcher in the market, was allegedly slaughtered by the butcher.

The meat seller reportedly turned his knife and killed the unsuspecting policeman, who was simply identified as Mr. John, by tearing open his abdomen.

As if well planned, another butcher beside them, also an Hausa, went after his own customer, a young lady, standing before him, and also killed her with his knife. And before long, the entire market turned into a pandemonium as the people used knives freely on each other.

And before the arrival of soldiers, five people were already dead, while several others were seriously injured.
This provoked angry Christian youths to pounce on a commercial motorcycle operator, believed to be an Hausa, in the terminus area, who was also killed before he could escape.

While Muslim youths, who were reciting the Quaran at the Central Mosque that had earlier been restrained from their usual yearly procession, got wind of the crisis, they immediately made to launch further offensive on the Christians, who were equally battle ready.
But for the prompt arrival of the Commander of the Military Special Task Force, Brig. Gen. Hassan Umaru, who was also observing prayers at the mosque, more casualties would have been recorded. He quickly deployed troops in the area to contain the youths.

The crisis quickly escalated to Gada-Biu area of the city where four other persons were burnt beyond recognition. Three corpses were also found lying near Bingham University Teaching Hospital.

Confirming the incident, the state Police Commissioner, Alhaji Abdulrahman Akano, said four people had been arrested in connection with the pandemonium. He however denied that any other person was killed apart from the policeman, whom he said is of the Bomb Disposal unit.

Just look at this animal, i have to be sincere to you, i have never seen an Empty barrel like you before. 1. Did i in anyway said GEJ was refering to all south Yesterners? 2. Will you dispute the fact that GEJ party PDP has failed the YORUBAS (I should have said they failed themselves because they all stole their respective mandate) who make up 95% of south west? 3. Will you dispute the fact that the west has always been predominantly Pro AWOLOWO? 4. Will you reject the idea that the Action congress is The only Pro AWOLOWO Party in Nigeria? (forget about Alliance for Democracy, it is in abeyance).5. Will you also dispute the fact that GEJ was refering to south west leaders and Governors as Rascals? 6. Are you trying to assert that you know the west more than me or AFENIFERE which has already issued a Press statement on the issue describing GEJ's statement as highly unfortunate because the People GEJ was refering to represent the The true wishes and aspiration of the West? 7. Is GEJ trying to tell us that Fashola is more rascal than OGD who has been ruling the state for the part 7 month without a Legislative Arm. (unprecedented in the history of civil administration in Nigeria). 8. Are you trying to say Ribadu is a Westerner? 9. At all the regional rallies of GEJ are you aware that there is always a sad incident? at the North central, People walk out on the Commander in Chief of The Armed Forces of Nigeria, at south south the 11 were confirmed dead by the Rivers state Government. You see am not surprised that you are beating about the bush, its typical of ibos to always assert their Any Government in Power syndrome. Ojukwu did the same in 79 when he teamed up with a party dominated by the Jackboots who he claimed Massacre Millions of Ibos just because he needs Federal Cash all at the Expense of the ibo masses. In the words of shehu shagari, with AWOLOWO you know where he is going, but with zik you have to put in place a plan a plan b plan c because he cant even fulfil a single agreement. He is always changing like the British Weather. You are so S.i.l.l.y. I.D.I.O.T.

You ended up beating about the bush. PDP's failure, PDP's national rallies, death in Rivers state, Afenifere, Ojukwu, Zik, british weather, etc etc.What d'heck are you saying dude? How does all the stuffs that you said prove that GEJ called South Westerners rascals?

if this is all you learn at school, them am sorry wastage of lineage, have told you Dweeb to stop bringing in Ribadu into this issue, Ribadu is not from the south west and what GEJ says solely dwells on the west and not Nigeria as a whole. Its a known fact that majority of the states in the west is controlled by the opposition and the people are mainly ACN Supporters. So if you dont understand the content/context of GEJ ODECHUKWU statement, them you deserve a proper discipline. How i wish i can E-Slap you not-so-smart person, i will have given you a thousand slap on your stinking face.

[b]LOL! Omo, see authentic Mumu! Gawd! cheesy

I am sorry for my show of extreme surprise. It is because I have not seen an empty headed individual like you before. Let me break it down to the level that your brain can digest;

. The fact that GEJ referred to an intention to take the South West from the hands of rascals does not in anyway refer to South Westerners as Rascals. So, South westerners are not supposed to feel insulted.
. If he was indeed referring to ACN and LP, then he referred to the members of those parties as rascals. Members of those parties are not only Yorubas or South Westerners. As could be seen from their reactions, Igbos, Hausas, and yorubas in ACN felt insulted by GEJ's statement and reacted. This means that it is only members of those parties that should react, not every tom, manliness and harry from the South-West.
. This statement, "we must take the south west back from the hands of rascals" specifically implies that Ogun and Oyo must also be taken from the hands of rascals. He did not specifically mention states. If he mentioned states, then it would have been different. Even if he mentioned states, it still does not in anyway show insolence to the South West. It is the opposition party members that should rant.
. This statement, "The South West is too educated and Sophisticated to be left in the hands of Rascals" Specifically shows his high regard for the SW and South Westerners.

Stop this your reference to school and comprehension because it exposes your lack of analytical thinking ability. It shows that you are either a kid, or simply an illiterate.

You have comprehension problems and i will advice you get an evening tutor. GEJ said that "The South West is too educated and Sophisticated to be left in the hands of Rascals, we must take the south west back from the hands of rascals" now tell me who is he refering to? Its like you were drunk before posting this junk, is Ribadu a South Westerner? Is Ngige a South Westerner? Or you have forgotten the South west in ODECHUKWU statement

[b]
You are very very stoopid! How does "The South West is too educated and Sophisticated to be left in the hands of Rascals, we must take the south west back from the hands of rascals" refer to South Westerners as Rascals? So, you think GEJ meant that SW must be taken from the hands of South Westerners? You have an empty fish like brain. SW is politically in the hands of PDP, ACN and LP. Since your brain did not tell you that such a statement also implies that PDP leaders in the SW are rascals, then I have to ask you if ACN and LP are now south western parties, owned and supported by every South Westerner? If the answer is no, then how does such a statement refer to South Westerners as rascals? I bet trying to be logical with you is like walking in a maze.
Dude, did you even read my post before letting your whorish fingers to run gaga? I asked a question, instead of answering it you set out to dance unclothed in Nairaland without an atom of shame. Did your death seeking eyes not see, "Remember that igbos like Ngige and Hausas like Ribadu are also members of ACN. Why the fuss?" in my comprehension. Imagine an illiterate that cannot understand English talking about comprehension problems. shocked

Well I don't blame you. An irredeemable rascal will surely get blind when referred to as a rascal, which unfortunately is what you are. Ewu.[/b]

Just cash, MJB, etc

You guys are not serious. GEJ was referring to the NON-PDP members of the SW. There is a difference between forgiving him and trying to twist his word which insults our intelligence. The[b] SW would[/b] probably still vote for him but he cannot say he was not referring to Fashola and co.

ShangoThor:
Thank you, Jason123, can you Adam and Eve it? What utter nonsense for anybody to believe that people of the SW are so gullible that they can be manipulated psychologically.People of the SW do not need their egos stroked, they probably failed to recognise that they are in the wrong part of the country. [/b][/color]

Since you guys believe that he referred to the non-PDP SW leaders e.g. ACN & Labour Party politicians, Why then is the statement consistently being referred to as an insult to the "SW as a whole" when in fact it should be seen from the opposite angle? Are ACN and LP for South westerners? Remember that igbos like Ngige and Hausas like Ribadu are also members of ACN. Why the fuss?
Why the constant use of "SW people" as being insulted, when he actually said that "The SW is too sophisticated"?
Do you know that South Easterners would have bragged with the same statement, and funny enough, it is you guys that took the statement as an insult that would attack them for owning it?
It has happened before. I must say that It is quite disappointing to see people so revered by GEJ's statement attaching some ethno-social meaning to it. Grow up guys.

Specifically he said lagos as the economic capital is very important and much be captured by PDP. he also said the south West is to sophisticated to be left in the hands of rascal, we must capture, Ekiti, Osun, Ondo and Laogs states. he mentioned these states, said they were too important for fas and co

[b]Ofcourse as a PDP member, he'd wish for his party to have Lagos state.

"SOUTH WEST IS TOO SOPHISTICATED TO BE LEFT IN THE HANDS OF RASCALS.", This statement is the reason for the whole issue that was raised.

Now to say SOUTH WEST IS TOO SOPHISTICATED means that he gat a high regard for the south west. The fact that he said "TO BE LEFT IN THE HANDS OF RASCALS" means that SW must not be left in the hands of rascals. It doesn't mean that the SW is in the hands of rascals. He implied that the SW is too important "TO BE" left in the hands of rascals (Which could be anybody, without specific reference to the present). If he said "TO BE LEFT IN THE HANDS OF ACN AND LABOUR PARTY RASCALS" then it would have been another story.

Once again as a PDP member, his wish is to capture as many states as possible, hence the last statement.

His statement did not insult anybody. It gave prestige to the SW as a whole.
IF TRULY HE WAS REFERRING TO OTHER PARTY LEADERS, THEN WHY DID IT TAKE A REGIONAL DIMENSION? SOUTH WESTERNERS TOOK OFFENSE. SHOULDN'T IT BE ACN AND LABOUR PARTY MEMBERS THAT SHOULD BE OFFENDED? OR ARE THESE PARTIES NOT FIELDING CANDIDATES THAT WILL CONTEST AGAINST JONATHAN? RIBADU HAVE BEEN QUITE VOCAL ABOUT THE DANGERS OF ELECTING PDP. HE HAS BEEN QUITE DIRECT IN HIS REFERENCES. SO, WHY IS HE CALLING FOR GEJ'S HEAD FOR AN UNCLEAR STATEMENT?"
Anyway I aint a PDP member. I actually prefer Ribadu more, but I'm just being fair.[/b]

Politics › Re: I Was Grossly Misunderstood - Gej. by Justcash(m): 5:09pm On Feb 14, 2011

[b]I have been watching the reactions that GEJ's statement generated, with people from mainly the southwest grievously taking it as an insult, while ignoring the fact that it was being overblown by the opposition party members. This is politics, and the opposition can pick on anything to discredit their opponents. Imagine if GEJ imposed Dame and his daughter in PDPs Senatorial primaries, just like Tinubu did, Nigeria would have experienced a sudden break down. But Tinubu's action was treated as an act of God.
You guys failed to realise that;
1. Nobody's name or party was mentioned.
2. PDP also gat governors in the South West.
3. The statement actually gave more prestige to the Southwest than insult.
4. Rascal was used by GEJ more like in a scenario, than in reality.
5. The rascals actually points more to the PDP governors than the ACN and Labour Party governors.

Yet, I discovered that people heaped insults on him and called for his head. It further exposes how fragile Nigeria is. Every action and word takes an ethnic, religious or Regional dimension in Nigeria which makes me wonder why the heck we are still one in this freaking country.
Most people that reacted to GEJ's assertion are actually rascals, because their reactions gave a signal that his statement was meant for them. Fashola and Ribadu included. Though I like them, I am disappointed with them. They behaved like Primary school kids (Push me, I push you).[/b]

[b]Enugu’s Coal City Shuttle to take off with Innoson buses
By Moses Akaigwe [igwemos@sunnewsonline]

The loudly popular cab scheme introduced by the Enugu State Government a couple of years ago with cars such as; Suzuki Alto and Nissan Sunny, is set to have a sequel in a highly innovative made-in-Nigeria buses.

Christened Coal City Shuttle, the project will officially take off with an initial batch of no fewer than 30 purpose-built long buses from Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited (IVM) plant in Nnewi, Anambra State, as part of the plan to give Enugu a befitting mass transit system. Innoson has also produced for the state waste management authority, a fleet of refuse compactor trucks.

Dropping these hints in a chat with Daily Sun Motoring, the Special Adviser to the Enugu State Govenor on Transportation, Prince Emeka Mamah, said Coal City Shuttle would not be just another transport scheme, but was designed to be innovative, efficiently managed and benefit from relevant modern technologies.
Prince Mamah added: “Coal City Shuttle is a project embarked on by the Enugu State Government in accordance with a key item in Governor Sullivan Chime’s four-point agenda, which is to give commuters in the state and the Coal City in particular, the best transportation system. So, you can say it is part of the dividends of democracy for the people of Enugu State”.

The Special Adviser disclosed that the shuttle would have been flagged off earlier, but for the insistence of those midwifing the project, on ensuring that relevant on-board and ground infrastructure, as well as supports services, are fully in place before the vehicles hit Enugu roads. For instance, close circuit television (CCTV) is being installed on each of the buses with the aim of monitoring daily operations of the vehicles and obviating gate-crashing and other criminal activities on the part of the passengers, as well as possible indiscipline and cheating by the crews.

It was also learnt that turnstiles, automated mechanical devices that control entrance into halls, stadia, and other enclosed places, are being installed on the Innoson buses. The barrier will play the dual role of controlling the entry/exit of the ticket-bearing passengers, while at the same time counting them as they board. What Enugu residents and their visitors that will be patronizing the Coal City Shuttle will find very innovative is the cashless ticketing system. In conjunction with UBA, the government has engaged agents who, as is the case with telephone recharge cards, make the tickets available to resellers from whom the intending passengers are expected to purchase them before boarding the buses.

Unlike the yellow Coal City Cabs which is being run on PPP (public, private, partnership) basis, the Coal City Shuttle is an entirely government scheme with the Enugu State Ministry of Transportation handling the procurement of the buses and employment of the on-board crews and supervisors. Fully air-conditioned and already painted dark red, the Innoson-built buses are expected to ply designated routes across the city, connecting major streets and the outskirts. Destinations will include Garki, Emene, Abakpa, New Market and Otukozala, among others.

Commenting on the choice of locally made buses, Mamh, a prince of the Igwe James Mamah dynasty reputed for the remarkable success of Ifesinachi Industries Limited in luxury bus transportation, said the Sullivan Chime-led state government considered the obvious advantages the Innoson buses have over imported brands, provide reliable after-sales back-up. According to him, ensuring that the vehicles have hitch-free operations through a solid maintenance arrangement is key to the success of the new project.
Contacted on the issue, the Chairman of Innoson Group of Companies Chief Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma, OON, stated that the buses are very strong, reliable and durable. He added that they would not have problems on Enugu roads, “because we are on ground with a very solid arrangement for after-sales service and replacement parts”.

IVM, Chief Chukwuma, disclosed, had already established a service centre in Enugu with a plan for regular availability of parts. He said.: “You will see that the Innoson buses will do well. The performance of the buses will prove what we have been saying about the vehicles. They are good. Moreover, the type of workshop we have built in Enugu for Coal City Shuttle will be built for any other state or company anywhere in Nigeria that places a large order with Innoson for the buses or the refuse compactor trucks.
Also reacting to the patronage of Innoson buses by Enugu State Government, NAMA, the association vehicle manufactures in Nigeria thumbed for Governor Chime, and urged other governors and decision makers at the federal level to take a cue from him.

The Executive Director, Mr. Arthur Madueke, argued that sourcing vehicles locally impacts positively on employment, industrial growth and economic development generally. “Therefore, I wish to urge other governors, particularly Governor Obi of Anambra State where Innoson auto plant is located, to emulate the Enugu state example. Obi seems to be a progressive governor, but I do not know why after the commissioning of the plant last year by President Goodluck Jonathan, he has not embarked on any project that will take vehicles from the Nnewi plant”, Madueke remarked.

As the Coal City Shuttle and the choice of Innoson buses continue to draw commendations for Governor Chime, the Special Adviser on Transportation is predicting that the scheme would be a huge success in view of the careful planning, innovations, quality of the buses and efficient management. He is hopeful that his experience in running Ifesinachi Industries Nig Limited will be a contributory factor to the envisaged success of the bus transport scheme.

“We are hopeful that by the end of the year, the state government and Enugu state people will see the huge benefits of the investments in the Coal City Shuttle”, Mamah stated.

You might as well make fun of the French people, Indians, Lebanese and e.t.c who move happily to Nigeria to partake in business and seek employment albeit in MNC and companies established by the countrymen.

You probably mean Young Nigerian boys leave for SA to hustle? Yeah well if something does not work for you somewhere, then moving somewhere is not really a bad idea. In a "global village" we have the right to take part in the international job market even if its the drug market in SA

The most salient fact is that you would no be allowed to partake anyways in whatever the brits develop. You will only be able to be a spectator like most Africans in Colonial Africa.

Yeah right you know this because . . . ?? You seem to know a lot of things. Do have like a paradigm for your argument? Resources does not directly mean much really. Thats what people dont get- its not about resources or finished products its all about innovation and competitive advantage.

Yeah imagine how happy the UK would have been to be able to directly control Nigeria's oil profits. Imagine how their currently under-performing economy would be doing unlimited cash flow from their African operations. Imagine how the British Citizens would be enjoying OUR MONEY based on the sorrow, tears and blood of the people in the ND.

IF YOU MUST KNOW, I DON'T LIKE NNAMDI AZIKIWE AND OTHER EASTERN MORONS THAT JOINED YOUR FORE-FATHERS AND HAUSA'S TO KEEP NIGERIA AS ONE. I HATE ALL OF THEM.
FOR A SECOND AND LAST TIME, I AM NOT BEING TIBALISTIC. I AM STATING WHAT IS OBVIOUS.
I ALSO AM NOT READY TO DESCEND TO YOUR LEVEL TO EXCHANGE ETHNIC BULLCRAPS.

ANYWAY, ABOUT THE "COWARD" PART. YOU REALLY VIEWED IT AS BEING REFERRED TO YOU AND YOUR FORE-FATHERS. WITH SUCH A NATURAL FEELING FROM YOU, ONE CANNOT DOUBT THE AUTHENTICITY OF THAT STATEMENT BEING A TRUE REFLECTION OF YOUR BEING AND HEREDITY. [/b]

Pray how large is the black middle class in South Africa now? Before the brits and dutch left power? After the brits and dutch left power?

[b]OKAY, YOUR POINT IS THAT BLACKS ARE SUPPRESSED IN SOUTH AFRICA. I CONCUR. BUT IT MAKES ME TO WONDER WHY THE SO ESTABLISHED NIGERIAN MIDDLE CLASS FIND IT BETTER TO MIGRATE TO SOUTH AFRICA THAN STAY IN NIGERIA WHERE THEY HAVE MORE SAY AND POWER? OR ARE THESE NIGERIAN MIDDLE CLASS WHITES?
ONE THING THAT I KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT NIGERIANS WOULD HAVE HAD ALL THE BASIC INFRASTRUCTURES, MORE INTERNATIONAL REGARD AND A BETTER IMAGE IF THE BRITISH WERE STILL IN CONTROL. I ALSO KNOW THAT NIGERIANS WOULD HAVE LESS POVERTY BECAUSE EVEN THE POOR WOULD HAVE HAD JOBS, AND NIGERIA WOULD HAVE BEEN A MEGA DEVELOPED NATION, WITH ALL THESE RESOURCES THAT NIGERIAN LEADERS HAVE PLUNDERED. I KNOW THAT MANY BRITISH WOULD HAVE BECOME NIGERIANS, AND CITIES THAT WILL LEAD THE GROWTH OF OTHER CITIES WOULD HAVE GROWN. NIGERIA IS NOT ZIMBABWE, WE HAVE MORE RESOURCES THAN SOUTH AFRICA. SO IMAGINE WHAT THEY WOULD DO WITH NIGERIA IF THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO LEAD IT? MANDELA KNEW ALL THESE, THAT WAS WHY DESPITE HIS MILITANT YOUTH AND HIS INCARCERATION FOR HIS ACTIONS, HE STILL FORGAVE THE BRITISH, AND ALLOWED THEM TO STAY AND HELP HIM TO LEAD SOUTH AFRICA.
MY POINT IS THAT THE BRITISH WOULD HAVE EXPLOITED NIGERIA A LOT, BUT I CAN TELL YOU AS A MATTER OF FACT THAT THE ONES THAT WILL RUB OFF ON NIGERIANS WOULD HAVE BEEN 1 MILLION TIMES GREATER THAN WHAT NIGERIANS GET NOW FROM THEIR MORONIC LEADERS.[/b]

lol, more whining. A very ungracious way to concede defeat. I guess these mumu leaders include Michael Okpara and Nnamdi Azikiwe. I could go into the failings of those leaders here but it would derail the thread too much. I think it's been sufficiently covered in other threads, anyway.

IT MAY DISAPPOINT YOU TO KNOW THAT I MEANT ALL THE LEADERS. YOUR TINY TRIBALISTIC BRAIN WILL NOT MAKE YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT. HOWEVER, IN NIGERIA'S HISTORY, SOME REGIONS HAD BRITAIN'S BLESSING OVER OTHERS DUE TO THEIR EASE OF CONTROL. THE NORTH AND WEST WERE MORE CONTROLLABLE TO THE BRITISH THAN THE EAST, HENCE MY STATEMENT THAT YOUR FORE-FATHERS WERE READY TO DIE JUST TO ALLOW THE BRITISH TO MAINTAIN THEIR CONTROL OVER NIGERIA, JUST BECAUSE IT FAVORED THEM.
THAT IS NOT EVEN MY MAIN POINT. MY MAIN POINT IS THAT NIGERIA WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY BETTER UNDER THE BRITISH THAN UNDER ALL THE MORONS THAT EVER RULED NIGERIA. BY THE MORONS, I MEAN ALL.

AND I WONDER WHY IT IS SO EASY FOR A not-so-smart person LIKE YOU TO CLAIM VICTORY WITH YOUR CLUELESS ARGUMENTS? YOU HAVE NOT PROVED HOW NIGERIA HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF NOW THAN IN THE DAYS OF THE BRITISH?

Wow in all fairness Rossike smoked the arse of those British apologist wanna-bes

I do have to agree with his points. Although we cannot see it or see much- [b]NIgeria has come a long way, not just as fast as [/b]we would all love it to be like and this tells us of how much potential we have

[b]
Nobody is more of British apologists than the Obasanjos, Awolowos, Gowons etc of this world. Unfortunately your fore-fathers exhibited that by willingly accepting to be used as puppets to destroy their supposed fellow Nigerians in order to maintain the British domination and exploitative influence over a farce called Nigeria. Stating the obvious have now made people that are natural born cowards and British apologists to accuse others of being same.

Fact remains that NIGERIA WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY WAY BETTER UNDER THE BRITISH THAN UNDER ALL THE MUMU LEADERS THAT HAVE RULED NIGERIA SINCE AFTER THE INDEPENDENCE. YES, THEY WOULD HAVE DIRECTLY EXPLOITED NIGERIA, BUT STANDARD OF LIVING WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY BETTER. THAT IS THE TRUTH. POSTING PICTURES OF ROADS BUILT IN LESS THAN 5-10 YEARS OUT OF 50 YEARS WILL NOT CHANGE THAT.
YOU PEOPLE LIKE TO LIE TO YOURSELVES. THIS IS WHY WHEN FOREIGN MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS COME TO EXHIBIT NIGERIA, THEY SHOW ONLY SLUMS. BEFORE FASHOLA, HOW WAS LAGOS? UP TILL NOW HOW IS LAGOS MAINLAND? WHEN WAS THE ROADS THAT YOU POSTED BUILT? WHICH PICTURE THAT YOU POSTED HAD AN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WAS MAINTAINED AND IMPROVED SINCE AFTER INDEPENDENCE? DOES YOUR GOVERNMENT NOT BUILD AND ABANDON ROADS? dO THEY EVEN BUILD PROPER ROADS? HOW ARE THE CONDITIONS IN ANAMBRA, ABIA, KANO, OGUN, OYO, ZAMFARA STATES?
MAY NIGERIA CEASE TO BE SOON. I AM PRAYING SERIOUSLY FOR IT. I'D BE BETTER OFF WITH REALISTS THAN ANIMALS IN HUMAN SKINS.[/b]

Funny. You wouldn't know colonial Nigeria history if it said "Hello I'm, Frederick Luagrd".

Ezeagu, abeg stop arguing with these people that are suffering from Ignorance. Like you said, they know nothing about Pre- and Post- Colonial Nigeria. funny enough the same British continued to put napkins on their fore fathers butts when the East discovered that the composition of Nigeria was breeding extreme under-development and strife.

ROSSIKE:
Dude, I've just schooled you in the REAL history of colonial Nigeria, not the whitewashed, airbrushed, claptrap you read by white mythorians and their buffoonous black yes-men - your ilk.

[b]Look at who is schooling people. Well, you and that your "Akata" Homo-erectus called BK Male Babe should stop spewing your ignorance in public. The British would have left Nigeria in a better state (despite their exploitation) than your fore-fathers that turned the country into a big and disrespectful slum. Nigeria actually went out of hand after your fathers succeeded in putting the East out of the political equation, and started dancing to their ethnic drums on it. Abi na lie? You and your cronies stand up here everytime to wish for "Lagos" as it was before 1960 and in early 1960s without asking who kept it that way, and who turned it into a mega slum.

This is Portharcourt in 1956, take a good look at the road and security there. Look at the youths and the absence of frustration in their outlook, despite the fact that the British were supposedly exploiting Nigeria at that time. Look at the safety and mix of Nigerians and foreigners without any form of fear of kidnapping or brutalisation. I bet you know what will happen now if those foreigners wonder carelessly in such an area, even if there's Mopol men armed to their teeth.

Justcash said:

So when are you returning to your VILLAGE to live and work? You do recall that 95% of Nigerians lived in thatched roof villages with no running water or electricity during the ''good old days'' of British colonialism. You really can return to that era RIGHT NOW by simply taking the next bus to your village and arranging a farm and boys to build your thatched hut. So what's stopping you? Why are you still in the ''new Nigeria'' of cities, cars, roads and expressways, universities and nightclubs? Why are you not typing this rubbish from the village where the British left your grandparents?

You should PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS. If Nigeria has gotten ''much worse'' since the British left, there is a lot you can do to bring back those ''good old days'' of colonial rule back into your life. Why aren't you grasping the opportunity?

How many roads, motorable or otherwise, did the British leave you?

How many people could afford cars? Not the super-duper rich?

Did your grandparents own a car? Could they read and write? If the answer is yes, they were the lucky 0.2%

Bottomline: Whatever we have today is 20000 times better than whatever the British left us with from infrastructure to health, and from education to nutrition.

Far more jobs have been provided for Nigerians under Nigerian govts than under the British. What was your grandfather's job?

Far more Nigerians have access to clean, potable drinking water than under the British, taken both as a mass, and as a percentage of the population.

The British created an ''enabling environment'' for business to thrive more than Nigerian govts?

Do you realise that 96% of Nigerians did not see a light bulb before the British left? Did the British even build a national grid in their entire 90 years rule in which they exported natural resources worth hundreds of billions of dollars in today's currency?

No they didn't. So what ''enabling environment'' did the British build? In fact, I put it to you that ZAMFARA STATE has provided more of an ''enabling environment'' for business in the last year than the British govt did in all Nigeria in their 90 year rule.

Under the British, there was ''safety of lives and properties'' because no one had anything for the other to steal or covet. Poverty was universal. If you like that kind of safety and security, I'm sure you can still find it in certain remote parts of your village, so when are you heading out there?

We DO refine oil. We do much more. We produce chemicals, tyres, steel, textiles, buses, cars computers. And we are still moving forward. None of these were possible under the British. ''Economic activity'' under them was confined to building ''groundnut pyramids'' in Kano!

Nigeria is a developing country. In developing countries, especially large, highly populated, diverse ones, it will take a lot of time and effort to get society functioning to optimal levels. This is why for instance Ghana has 24 hrs electricity (according to some), yet India, one of the developing world's most promising and vibrant economies, a nuclear power no less, is still grappling with power cuts, mass poverty, and bad roads. Brazil is filled with slums. Unemployment is a major problem there.

You can name almost any developing nation with over 50 million people, and you will find serious social/economic problems that they are grappling with. In time, these nations, Nigeria including, will stand tall.

[b]Before the British left, they had a serious master plan for Nigeria, especially the growing urban centers like Lagos, Calabar, Onitsha etc Unlike Calabar that they succeeded in touching properly with their master plan, other places like Onitsha and Lagos were partially touched before they left. Don't you wonder why a place like calabar is so well planned, while places like Lagos and Onitsha have all transformed into giant slums? Imagine how Lagos and Onitsha would have been if they had succeeded in touching them the way they wanted? You simply don't get it, Nigeria has been running around the same circle for over 50 years. We definitely deserve to be way beyond the level we are at the moment.
I am not saying that the British are saints, and less evil, all I am saying is that they are way more pro-developmental than all the leaders Nigeria have ever produced.
Talking about Education, would you compare the educational standard now to what was obtainable in the 50s and 60s? Imagine if the British had the chance to manage our educational sector till now, do you think we'd be where we are now? We would definitely be way beyond this level, and even competing with the best schools in the world.
Talking about electricity, yes it was not widespread when the british were here, but they left the country for Nigerians to make it widespread. The question is how widespread is it now? Do you truly think that If the Colonial masters were left with the task of making it widespread, they wouldn't have gone beyond the level that Nigeria is at the moment? They did it in South Africa, and the speed of rail road development in Nigeria (Which was globally in vogue at that time) under their watch is a pointer to how pro-developmental they were. The question is what happened? Even the railway system established by them is in an irredeemable state.
Countries like Singapore that we have been talking about since stuck to the original plans that the British left for them. The British had identified the country as an important international shipping point, so a lot of their efforts were made towards building ports in Singapore. When Singapore gained independence, they leveraged on the ports that were developed by the British to not only create an enviable global shipping point, but to attract tourists, and investments.
The British left Agriculture in Nigeria. They made Nigeria the biggest black nation to dominate Africa in terms of domestic consumption and military strength, they left a good transportation system (Both rail and road), they also left important global ports and Education for Nigerians among other things. Question is where are all these things that were left? Even our military strength that Nigeria has managed to keep intact for many years is gradually dwindling (Imagine MEND sending our military men to their graves like ants). Where is the rail transportation? While many other countries have developed the rail system that the British left for them e.g. The Monorails and Rapid rail systems, Nigeria is still battling with resuscitating the obsolete locomotive rail transportation system.
You should be ashamed to say that you have seen alot of developments.
As for a nation that is above 50 million that is moving on smoothly, check out China and India. You cannot in anyway compare those countries to Nigeria. Their major urban centers are with all the major basic infrastructures. They have developed models to create employment for their population and their standard of living is way higher than whatever you see in Nigeria. Imagine India, a small nation when compared to economic resources and capability with Nigeria, they have left Nigeria behind a long time ago. They have carved a niche for themselves in the globe. They have more population than Nigeria, but their poorest people live way above the standard of the poor in Nigeria. Talking about slums in Brazil, we all know that you cannot compare the amount of slums you see in Nigeria to the size you see in Brazil. Onitsha and Lagos alone have big enough slums to cover a whole nation like Ghana. Still the Brazilians are making noticeable efforts to counter the effects of these slums. They are fighting crime and rebuilding the slums.
You made a very naive statement about why there was safety of lives and properties under the British. You are wrong about that. Nigerians at that time had properties that could be stolen. Many men in my home town, including my grand-father had vehicles e.g. Peugeot 404, big modern houses were being built at that time, Money were kept at home (Cos Nigerians were still getting used to the Banking system), beautiful wives slept in their husband's homes without their doors tightly locked to avoid getting violated etc. The only bane to criminal activities was an effective police force. At that time, the police force was effective. That was what discouraged people from stealing and committing crimes because they knew that they wouldn't get away with their crimes. What we are experiencing now is because Nigerians did not develop the police force that was left for them by the British. The force was ignored, and crime capability overtook the capability of containing such crimes. If the police grew with technological development, do you think committing crime in Nigeria would have been easy? Look at what happened after Fashola took little steps to update the Police in Lagos state abit. Crime rate dropped. Imagine if the Nigerian police had been updated steadily, crime would be very very low in Nigeria.
Was it not under the British that graduates were given options in terms of job availability? Graduates were offered jobs after they graduated. This continued to happen till around the 70s when the anti-development attitude of Nigerians killed it. How will there be job when Nigerians have not made efforts to diversify their economy? Do you know that providing an enabling environment for business in the East alone can make Domestic and FDI investments to skyrocket and create 100 of millions of jobs for Nigerians? Now imagine if Agricultural development is added to that? Do you know that if basic infrastructures were efficient, entrepreneurial development alone can create jobs for more than half of Nigeria's unemployed? Then add jobs from the oil sector? Add the banking and telecommunication sector. Add jobs from government agencies and parastatals etc You will see that Nigeria has a capability of actually creating jobs that can cover way beyond the 150 million population of Nigeria. Imagine how many jobs the telecommunication and banking sectors created when they were briefly revived and updated?
Nigeria is so not moving forward. We backslid after the independence, and believe it or not, Nigeria is 30 years behind the global developmental trend. Little wonder why Nigerians die to live in messed up countries like Cambodia, yet get rejected and deported. SMH[/b]

[b]Nigeria needs a political re-orientation.
Split the freaking country, or change it into a confederation.

East- Should have a democratic decentralized system, with a weak central leadership.
Stimulate development of commerce and trade in this region. Create an enabling environment for business to thrive, and run a mixed economic model on it such that basic development factors like Employment, Education, Entrepreneurship, tax revenue etc are stimulated along. Boost manufacturing in the region and ensure exportation of Nigerian made goods from this region. Leave the control of basic infrastructures like road maintenance, Security (Regional police force), Power generation etc for the regional governments. Generate electricity in this region with Solar energy, Coal and Gas.

South- Should have a federal political system, to accommodate their diversity in ethnicity.
Use the abundance of oil resources in this region to develop the region. Create refineries, and important oil exportation points in this region, and ensure that Entrepreneurial development, Employment generation , tax generation, community development are stimulated along with these investments. Leave the control of basic infrastructures like road maintenance, Security (Regional police force), Power generation etc for the regional governments. Generate electricity in this region with Gas.

West- Should have a British style of political system, with high regards for their centralized traditional monarchy.
Use the important national infrastructures in this region, with their high domestic consumption ability to develop a service based economy here. Take advantage of the tax generation ability of this region to create a perfect investment environment that will stimulate employment, encourage entrepreneurship and ensure further tax generation. develop the natural resources in this region and use them to ensure further regional and national income. Leave the control of basic infrastructures like road maintenance, Security (Regional police force), Power generation etc for the regional governments. Generate electricity in this region with solar energy and Gas.

North- Should have an monarchical political orientation, with a muslim background. Sharia can be well implemented there.
Develop the agricultural capability of this region to create a sustainable means of income for them. While developing Agriculture here, stimulate employment, entrepreneurship and human development abilities. Let the North be a major source of food products for other Nigerian regions, West Africa, African countries, and the world at large. Leave the control of basic infrastructures like road maintenance, Security (Regional police force), Power generation etc for the regional governments. Generate electricity in this region with Solar energy and Hydro electric means.

There should be national armed forces with equal contribution from all the regions. Basic things like international airports, major seaports etc should be built in each region. National Universities should be established in each region to complement the regional ones. This way there will be progress which will be stimulated by regional competition.
If Nigeria cannot achieve this con-federal arrangement, Nigeria should be split. [/b]

Nigeria is backwards. We have not achieved any meaningful or commendable development since after the independence. How can you be giving a loud round of applause to a nation that is still grappling with building motor-able roads, providing jobs for her citizens, Providing portable drinking water, creating an enabling environment for business to thrive, ensuring safety of lives and properties etc? undecided

So Nigeria is moving forward, yet up till now we don't refine our own oil? We don't have a good standing police force? Our educational system is in disarray? Loss of Nigerian lives is now like piercing a hole on a big drum of water? Nigerians run to other countries and are treated like animals without a means to fight back? Abeg stop spreading lies. Nigeria stopped moving forward the moment the British completely left Nigeria in 1963. Everything grounded to a halt, and we have been doing the moonwalk since then.
If I may ask, what is really working properly in Nigeria? Can you point out one thing that is working the way it should work in Nigeria?
You seem to forget that Nigeria has all it takes to develop, Oil or no Oil. We have other natural resources and abundance of human resources. Even if oil is left for the Niger-deltans, there will still be abundance of resources, big enough for Nigeria to use and develop.
You need to go and see what other countries are doing with their oil palm, coal deposits, Tin, Gold deposit, water resources, Aluminum, domestic consumption advantage etc.
This is why I support the fact that Nigeria needs to be split. Until we do that, we'd be hovering around a circle, with a thought that we are moving forward.

There is noting stopping one Oluwaseyi Chuckwuemaka from becoming Governor of Lagos State or one Iherijika Oluwole from being the Governor of Imo State or Hassan Jonathan from being the Governor of Kano State. The people of the state can identify with the origin of the aforementioned than when u have someone with two foreign names foisted on them.

You are faking up reality. Kaduna Nzeogwu was regarded as an Igbo man wasn't he? This is despite the fact that he grew in the North, and speaks Hausa like a Hausa man. He was more Hausa than Igbo. His action led to the progrom against Igbos right? Was the "Kaduna" in his name not enough to convince Northerners that he is "Northern" enough?
Say the truth when you have to. except Oluwaseyi Chukwuemeka is female, he won't have any chance in Lagos politics.

I spent six years in Nigeria. I never encountered tribalism until I joined NL. Infact, most of my friends in Nigeria were igbos. My closest friend here (I call him my brother) is igbo.

[b]Tribalism is a way of life in Nigeria, that is why you dnt hear much about it. You dint encounter tribalism, but you heard about the Jos Killings between Beroms and Hausas. You kept hearing about Zoning all the time. Do you know what "Federal character" is? It means every tribe must be represented in anything that "Nigeria" is doing in order to avoid problems (Irrespective of qualifications and experience). That is why things aint moving on fine in Nigeria, cos nothing beats qualification and experience. Why was Arewa fuming when Atiku lost? Abeg leave matter.
It is only in a dream land that you will see one Chukwuemeka as Lagos state governor. Taiwo as Enugu state governor. Jonathan as Kano state Governor etc. It was not like this in the 50s. There was tribalism then, but it wasn't as bad as it is now. Tibalism lives in Nigerians and Nigeria. What you see in Nairaland is little compared to what is happening in Nigeria.
Ofcourse Tribalism cannot stop you from having friends from other tribes. As long as you dnt step beyond your bounds, they will be very best friends with you.

Did I SAY Yoruba names it could be vice -versa a Yoruba's who grew up in Owerr I personally don't see anything wrong in that person called ugochukwu oluwafemi. That peson has an identity than some one with a name like ugochuckwu Nnamdi claiming to be a lagosian. The problem with people like u, u want to come to a place spewing your foreign language on the locals and feel welcomed afterwards how is that possible when u are not prepared to integrate.

Yorubas who grew up in Togo and Cote Voire all have french first name in unison with the dominant culture around them. Wande Coal is from Taraba State but with a name like that I identify him as a mushin boy rather than a boy from Jalingo.

What you are saying is clear, but not workable and reasonable. I thought we are all Nigerians. Does he truly need to answer a Yoruba name in order to enjoy the privilege that Yoruba Lagosians enjoy? No! It shouldn't be so. You just ended up saying the same thing that I was trying to say. If he decides not to take up a Yoruba name, and still wants the privilege that Lagos sons of the soil enjoy, then he must be dreaming. That is the reason why he needs to go to where he will be seen as a son of the soil, which is Delta state.

@Poster: You have been told. If you have ears, you better hear. The same people telling you to take up a Yoruba name are the people that will ensure that you are exposed as a non-Yoruba Lagosian when the time comes. They will easily term you an omo-Igbo and ask you about the history of your fore-fathers in yorubaland. We are not in the 50s, we are in 2011. I'm sorry, but it is the reality on ground. You can only be used as a commissioner or something like a special adviser, that is if you become a political heavyweight in Lagos.
