PoliticsRe: Can This Protests Force Nigeria To Restructure? by karfe(m): 8:47am On Oct 16, 2020
"Power must therefore be devolved to the regions. I propose five new regions: Sharia North; Yoruba West; Igbo East, Niger Delta; and Middle Belt.

Each region must be allowed to develop in accordance with its own cultural and ethno-religious mindset. The federal centre should focus mainly on national defence, foreign policy, customs and monetary economics."

Plateau

Benue
FCT
Northern Kwara
Central and Eastern Kogi
Southern Kebbi
Southern Kaduna
Southern Bauchi
Southern Gombe

These areas are Middle Belt areas. They are the areas in the old Northern Region made up of non-Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri ethnic minorities. Religion should not be used to confuse people. And not everyone in the Middle Belt speaks Hausa as a second language. For 60 years and even more, the Far North has insisted on lumping themselves with them for political advantage but without any benefits to them. The identification of this region as a unique Central Region will go a long way to bring political stability to the entire country
PoliticsRe: Taxation, The Catalyst For National Development. by karfe(m): 1:13pm On May 24, 2020
I am not an expert, but I believe for proper taxation, a society needs to be very well organized and structured. Proper town planning, registration of homes and businesses with streamlined processes and proper approvals, etc.

Maybe the coming of BVN and NIMC (if properly reformed and implemented) will kick start a proper tax process.

Until then, most businesses contributing to GDP will remain informal and untaxable.

In any case, government transparency and positive use of revenue at all levels should give citizens more confidence to participate in the formal sector.

4. THE '2ND LANGUAGE HAUSA SPEAKING' CHRISTIANS OF THE UPPER MIDDLEBELT AND CORE-NORTH

5. THE WESTERN NIGER-DELTANS OR WESTERN SOUTHERN MINORITIES

6. THE CHRISTIANS FROM TRIBES OF THE LOWER MIDDLEBELT

Great job Nowenuse. Awaiting the other four groups... Keep going
PoliticsRe: Full List Of The 371 Tribes In Nigeria by karfe(m): 8:40pm On Mar 23, 2019
wildernessVoice:
You need to do more research.
Some are names of towns not tribe.
No tribe like Bassa in Plateau but name of a town. The dominant tribe is Rukuba. From the town we derived Bassa L.G.A. that extend to kaduna boundaries in Saminaka and Kauru.
Bassa is an ethnic group of Kogi State

The title is Full list of tribes in Nigeria;
Agatu is a tribe on its own.
The author has chosen not to list Agatu separately. Listing of ethnic groups, tribes and languages can be quite subjective

There is Idoma and Etulo on the list. Agatu is regarded as Northern Idoma. Utonkon people are called Ufia

Yakubu is one of the greatest players Nigeria and Africa has ever produced. Most of these youngsters cannot fill his boots. He is the third highest scoring Aftican in the history of the premier league. The fact that he missed that goal against South Korea should not be a reason for you and other myopic people who know nothing about football to disrespect him. Anyone could have missed.
Thank you for this comment

PoliticsRe: Disintegration, A Neglected Solution To Nation’s Challenges ― Senator Adeyeye by karfe(m): 10:17pm On Jul 27, 2018
Nigeria's unity is negotiable

Power needs to be devolved to subnational units

These units should be regions, not the current states

If you go on social media today, the default setting is that Hausa/Fulani/Kanuri and Yoruba (especially Muslim) are for APC and Buhari

Igbo and Niger Delta are for PDP and anti-Buhari, allowing them to support even dodgy characters like Saraki

Middle Belt are somewhere undefined in between but in their defence, they have been heavily oppressed and undermined by the Far North

These 5 regional blocks should form the regions that should receive autonomy and devolved powers to govern Nigeria

Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt and Kaduna could be special cities or territories governed by the Federal Government and should be symbolic as centers of Unity

If the regions prefer, after 20 years or a period jointly decided, they may form separate countries (full secession)

This will allow for proper internal organization of each region in case they have to go alone. The countries from USSR and Yugoslavia were subnational republics for a long time before independence

Economic advantages should not be used to unite a country if we keep sacrificing innocent human beings including infants and foetuses!!

What is happening in Nigeria today is completely unacceptable

embarassed


I do have suicidal thoughts sometimes

Don't know what it means

But sometimes, whenever I think about taking my life, my thoughts go to my dad, how he would feel. The pains he would go through, when I'm gone.
He doesn't even know that I have chronic asthma, and sleep apnea.
I hide this things from him.
I'm an introvert, I don't associate.
Lots of things are weighing me down.
Who am I Kidding, no one here gives a fuc.k
Some of us care. Try to speak with someone, even if in an anonymous capacity. Life's problems, regardless of their nature, can be overcome by support in many ways from those around you and even those far off

The urhobos are more populated than the aniomas so if anything the urhobos should be priority in state creation; but however , more states don't need to be created. The 36 states we have all look like villages,
we can't run them so how can we manage more states?
The federating units should be regions, not states. Anioma and Gurara should be created to separate minority groups from more populous groups. After that, all states will decide which region they want to belong to and then the different regions can create as many more states as they would like. Then there can be an Urhobo State under a Niger Delta region

PoliticsRe: Southern Kaduna People Back Restructuring, Demand Own State by karfe(m): 7:35am On Nov 04, 2017
Only 2 states need to be created in Nigeria, Gurara and Anioma. The other political restructuring should be boundary adjustments and creation of regions which would be autonomous groups of states with most fiscal and infrastructure development powers devolved to them by the federal government

PoliticsRe: Towards True Federalism: Middle Belt Ideology by karfe(op): 7:38am On Jan 06, 2017
Hi Londonstreetboy. It's never too late while there's life. However, the lives are been lost very fast. Nigeria has never truly negotiated it's philosophy of nationhood as it affects the various peoples and that is what is resulting in our current state

This thread was an attempt to identify those who may identify as Middle Belt peoples. It does not look like there are many who are deeply passionate about it. For this reason, it is easy to be isolated and oppressed while others look on, uninterested. Unfortunately, political influence in Nigeria is viewed as 3 Southern zones plus one large Northern zone. Hence, the MB voice is subdued

With respect to Southern Kaduna, there is no common voice of Middle Belt people fighting it. Only SOKAPU is doing an isolated resistance. Same thing happened with Agatu

I pray the Middle Belt wakes up before it is too late

This is quite inspirational. Please, remain who you are by God's grace. In a country where most of us seem to have sold our souls, you are an oasis of hope in a sea of despair

I am inspired not only by your heart of conscience, but the thoroughness with which you went through all the official procedures. All the police and hospital staff you met on your journey have a seed sown in them, even if they do not show an immediate positive response

God bless you and yours...

PoliticsRe: Nigeria Need Restructuring, 5 Countries Under Confederation Like UK by karfe(m): 1:26pm On Oct 23, 2015
The UK model would be the best for Nigeria. The different countries can even have different levels of autonomy, including opting to secede like Republic of Ireland

Nations like the Igbo and Yoruba are large enough to be on their own. Referendums can be done to determine the boundaries of the 5 regions

I have been an advocate of this proposal for many years and nothing I have seen so far is yet to change my mind

I was truly shocked that the last national conference rejected regionalism and even proposed to create an additional 18 states
