Rapmoney:
Why should they prepare for war? Has any bomb exploded in any of the South-Eastern states?

I support the complete annihilation of this faceless group called Boko but that doesn't mean you should call Anambrarians to war!

Anambra and Eastern/Southern Nigeria must not wait till bombs explode before they are battle ready. The call is not to go on d offensive and start attacking people but rather to build up and maintain top-notch intelligence while preparing for any eventuality. Where necessary, preemptive strikes should be taken to ensure that such boko haram miscreants never settle long enough to actually set up n explode a bomb in Igbo land.

The parasitic elements in this country refuse to change the status quo. They benefit greatly from this sick arrangement to the detriment of the Southern oil producing regions. Unfortunately the thieves from oil producing states compromise their people, get involved in raping and destroying their region under the guise of calling for fiscal control. When the powers that be decide to get them, they are actually guilty, their fingers are caught in the pie and there's no denying it. When it happens, all their people see is their guilt and culpability.

If fiscal federalism and resource control will come to fruition, affected persons from Southern Nigeria must form a formidable front and do away with all the divide and rule tendencies that have been employed all along. The front persons leading the cause must be prepared to pay the price of being upright and avoiding the temptation that comes with free oil money. The press must be engaged as well to tell their side of the story not only what the government decides to feed the country. That is why Radio Biafra is a thorn in their flesh cos now another side of the story can be heard. It is just one part of the battle that must be fought n won...

On the Criminal Justice System, I expect we will have one based more on reformation than punishment! This is of course after a precise revolution that takes care of those too immersed in Nigerian standards.

Except in cases of cold blooded murder, rape n child abuse, some less heinous offences should have offenders dealt with with a view to making them better members of society and as much as possible removing d cause of d crime. There will be constant monitoring to ensure an offender does not fall back to his old ways. Repeat offenders must necessarily serve some jail time.

Ultimately we should be looking towards having more empty prisons than full ones. Political office holders will already work within a system that reduces chances of corruption n embezzlement. Recalcitrant ones upon establishment of guilt will be stripped of their offices n barred from occupying or contesting for such offices.

Nigerian Health Sector! Hmmm

francizy:
The fact is that these people are dangerous and should be restricted in a particular place. The best way to control them is by building them ranches and giving them all the conducive environment to grow the crops their cows will feed on (instead of them feeding on the hard work of farmers). I don't care if the govt uses tax payers money to build that, as long as lives are secured, I got no problems..

Is there a particular reason why they must be coddled in that manner? Why won't they conduct n pay their business expenses? Esp if d govt wakes up n puts laws in place mandating such n criminalising trespass on farmlands? Should every other group then engage in violence n murder to enjoy government largese?

It is one thing to make d news with orders n promises here n there. Implementation however remains a different ball game.

I thought about this as well. During the CONFAB the Committee on Citizenship, Immigration n Other Related Matters debated this issue at length and d recommendation of ranching n grazing routes were passed. Not much was said on how but I know it was envisaged that swathes of land n property were expected to be allocated for the purpose across d country particularly d North Central.

My issues which I was constrained to articulate at the time were whether d cattle rearers would purchase d properties needed as normal business men do? In that case d govt would play a strictly regulatory role by making laws n providing deadlines for compliance. Or would d FG wade in directly by allocating areas by executive fiat n start d drawn out process of paying compensation?

I do believe and expect that as business men, cattle rearers should foot d full cost of their businesses like other Nigerians do especially since proceeds from sale of cattle, milk n Co are not earmarked as belonging to the FG like Petroleum resources. However knowing we have a President and effectively, a govt sympathetic to Fulanis, the major players in this trade, I just wonder.

Nuellah02:
So, being an Agric or Defense minister isn't easy but being a Petroleum minister is? Pls, type something else and leave talk for turkey.

Nne eh! Ike gwuru!

Dahveydson:
The things you listed aren't as easy as they seem.

Nothing is easy but there are priorities! In fact, scratch that! How difficult can it be if GMB n Co will stop d greed n lust for petroleum? There are many able n willing hands with practical n expert minds!

He should start by restructuring d country cos d FG is bogged down with too many activities! Let citizens be actively represented n participate more in governance in their regions n see whether Nigeria will not achieve a definite turnaround!

It is this attitude of it's not easy that will keep people down! Power n d tools of governance are in his hands but they are not deployed in more practical ways cos they're all out for oil n gas to keep raping n destroying d South! Lazy n wicked rulers we've got since time immemorial!

How about Nigerians prepare for better efficient n reliable services? Or a more effective health sector with free services for children n d aged? Or real security from dangers like robbery et al?

How about we prepare for a sound education sector and a properly regulated/buoyant economy? Is it a crime if we prepare to drive on well paved/tarred roads with erosion control? Functional seaports beyond Lagos? Real acknowledgement n respect for human rights? Courtesy n professionalism from law enforcement agents n agencies?

What is d point of winning elections, commandeering state resources n still grabbing wat d ppl have without commensurate services n quality delivery?

People should stop blaming his wife, she did not commit a crime by marrying him and I don't think she is so immersed into Nigerian politics as have an opinion or decide to manipulate her husband into the current level of stupidity he exhibits.

The man has chosen to be an absolute disgrace to himself and office and that is his fault 100%. It's a good thing the PenComm has cleared the air on this particular issue cos at the rate Adams is going, if his little man fails to rise to the occasion at any point, he will certainly devise a way to call GEJ. Such a silly, old man!

TheOnlyWiseMan:
At times I wonder what sort of humans these YO-ROBBER People are.
In one sentence you list out Igbos sins, At the same time insist they must live with you.

Isn't that madness?

Honestly it's completely baffling. They are quick to list the sins of Biafrans, say they no longer need them in Nigeria yet cannot rest as Biafrans have decided to chart their course and plan for a better existence away from this current contraption.
If something or someone is such a problem why are they fighting and cursing aimlessly? Is anything stated by the op and all other Biafrans on this thread a crime? They haven't said what their real issues are but our God is able!

It is only insecure n parasitic people that pick on Biafra and all they can point to is their idea of hate speech. Meanwhile they ignore all d reasons adduced for d call as inconsequential. Still insult n denigrate d Biafrans as well! So what is d benefit of having them united with Nigeria since they're a common problem? 100yrs n counting have not resolved the issues and Biafrans have decided for many years to be on their own and deploy their human n natural resources as they deem fit. OP! How is it doing you? And u see it as a menace? Yet u claim not to be against it? U never start!

One question, if u expect Biafrans to put d war experiences behind them and act professional according to u, then explain why the South East has only 5 states while other regions have 6 and even 7 for d NW? Why should they share same country with people who target n kill Igbos because Mohammed's caricature was drawn in Denmark? Yet perpetrators were never condemned or arrested!

Truth will always prevail.

carnegiefan:
My brother I tire for those people o. So much bitterness and zero counter-ideas. SMH

We must move ahead!

They so infested this thread with their stench! I am surprised none saw any good thing to run with n maybe acknowledge as something to be implemented in Nigeria.

Victory is non-negotiable!

There is unquestionable truth in what d Bishop said because deliberate discrimination will further divide the country until people are forced to take laws into their hands.

However there needs to be clear understanding of the working of the Supreme Court.
If he had queried why the Chief Justices of Nigeria were always from d North it might have been more understandable but even that can be explained to a large extent. However it is wrong to say all Supreme Court Justices are from d North. That is not true.

Demdem:

On the contrary I have no issues with peeps having different opinions to mine afterall variety is the spice of life however obvious display of stupidity nauseats me.

Ok...well done n have a great day

PDPwayoo:
how can a learned man travel to Saudi Arabia just to stone the devil? . RIP sha but this is a defeat to civilization and education.
AS A XTIAN, I HAVE NO RELIGEOUS INTEREST IN JERUSALEM OR ROME. going there means for tourism not to stone devil.

Just to point out something...you are a Christian not 'X'tian. How come u can type other long words but Christ, d whole foundation, is difficult?

Demdem:

He said more than that and considering the fact that am much more smarter than u, Av been able to decipher what he even didn't write. Deal with that.

This isn't a contest of mine is bigger than urs. You're naturally programed to hate people that don't agree with u or identify with those that don't share same views with u and that isn't smart at all.

How unfortunate for u...attacking my person isn't going to work. Stop polluting this thread with ur stupidity. Read up on the good ideas posted here from d beginning and consider how to implement them in current Nigeria. If it's too much for u then go n play in the sand cos that's d level of ur mental acuity.

This is all d exchange I will have with u from this point on. I dislike creepy cowards and u are one.

bigbonecrush:
I see! So battle never begin yet, you there putting on woman dress already. So when you hear gun-shots, na under woman wrapper you go go hide? What a confused set of people! Oga, abeg go change!

bashirolu:

Mehn, go change your woman masquerade and come and face me 'man to man' instead of this ibo 'maga-mago' wey you dey do. You think this is how you 're going to get Biafra? Fraud no fit help you in this matter ooo, woman-man!

You guys make me laugh! Shows ur cowardice full time! So u can't engage a female and all u can pull out of ur hat is to tell me you're afraid! Lol...go on the streets then and flex ur puny muscles for ur fellow 'men'.

bashirolu:


First, cure the transgender disease befuddling your warped brain!

I read on another thread that you are a middle-aged man pretending to be a woman.

Try and solve your psychosis first before I will engage your Biafra pipe dream, she-male!

Lol...trust me, u read wrong. I've been registered since 2012 and my sex has never been in question. Get real or take my initial advise...keep sleeping and stay off issues that don't pertain to u.

Demdem:
Ooo I see. We now have a new moniker whose primary responsibility is to succk the protection seekers cocck.
Good luck on ur shameful adventure.

So someone saying he admires another is cocksucking to u? It is now shameful because u have divergent political views? Wow! Will u think for him too?

1adewoye:
Is it too difficult for you to know your limit or when to quit? Your stubbornness when you have no points won't bring you Biafra, bigoted vulture!

Same disease affects u and ur cohorts. Go and seek help and let Biafran matters not continue to poke u. You all resort to insults when u lose hold of any facts...deal with issues n stop hating or cursing.

Amansu:
You are so full of yourself to admit your failings. I am neither interested nor will I read anything again. One thing is clear though, you are like the others, just e-warriors best ignored!

Yeah, reading is a tough job for u but it's d best advice I can give u. Read, study, expand ur mind n thought processes so u can always grasp issues when presented whether in form of a question or response to a question or opinion earlier posed.

Amansu:
Is you who deliberately side-stepped the cogent response to your post by Wale6run and I quote it here for you.

And to ur mind I didn't respond clearly enough to that post huh? Like I said, read again!

ibedun:
There is theory and there is practice. No matter what is written in the constitution of Nigeria, I am a Yoruba man and I am not moving to Sokoto or Daura. If I do for any reason I would be foolish to carry on as if i am in Abeokuta or claim that I have the same right and authority as the people of Daura.

My friend Abeg forget our make-believe constitution. The idiots who put it together did not envisage that Igbos will totally reject and abandon their fatherland or go looking for a no mans land in another tribe's territory. In the next 30 years I see the Gwarry people laying their claim to their rightful Abuja.

All courtesy of the kind of federalism we practice. If we had regional n decentralised system of govt everyone will develop at their pace n answer their father's name. For any lapses u hold ur fellow countryman responsible cos the buck rests with them. In as much as d centre holds d purse strings, collects d lion share and conveniently favours some groups to d deliberate near exclusion of others then Nigeria will not do much better than it is.

You can be sure that if each region had to source for their income n development whilst paying an agreed percentage to d centre, no silly governor will sit on his arse n wait for handouts at d end of the month then still blame inability to pay common salaries on the centre or oil prices. They will seriously explore n develop other resources n not wait for FG because it's on one Executive list.

NextGovernor:
I have been a guest of this site for more than 5yrs and I am always reluctant or lazy to pass through procedures for registration. Not because I have no reasonable things to share or contribute but I just read front pages and majorly political section.

Ever since I have been using this site, I found it not worthy on taking pains to browse through all Nigeria newspapers online or spending money on daily newspapers (Vanguard, Punch, Nation etc) because every articles on other newspaper pages (both national and international) and blogs are copied here by members of this great forum and the most I enjoy is reading comments (interesting, relevant, inrelevant, odd, funny, tribal and sentimental ones) which makes me laugh and people around me wonder what's wrong with this dude. Lol

I commend the owner of Nairaland (Seun) for this great house he built for creating and sharing our own collective views. This site is just everything you can think of. Because all aspect of life, all our need has a section on this forum. I got my first dog from Nairaland and that Dog big pass human being now. lol

But there comes this man who was Barcanista and later transformed to TonyeBarcanista. I follow his topics on regular basis even when I was a guest member. He argues reasonably and put fact in all his articles and writings. The only person that causes nightmare to the opposition. Sometime when I have some heat argument with my friends I secretly opens he thread and pick a harsh point and facts with verifiable source to nail them and this has be working.

I will say I am a full member of this forum who will be active from today not because of any other person but was attracted by the brains, excellent writings and arguable facts of Barcanista and again the owner of this site (Seun) for creating a nice atmosphere for Nigerians both home and diaspora.

I salute everybody in this forum and will render my contribution and comments to this forum when needed.

Nextgovernor.

Welcome to the hood! It's a fun place, can be trying sometimes. Stay true to urself n beliefs though...enjoy!

Amansu:
Are you running away from the truth? Would you rather prefer you were not reminded of Ojukwu's despicable iniquity against his own people? It is a testimony to a man's inordinate ambition!

Did u even grasp d sense n message in my post before quoting me? Read again!

ibedun:
You are right and that's why it is important to develop one's ancestral fatherland. If you make it big or small in your homeland nobody can challenge your enjoyment. If you are a visitor in somebody else land, you have to behave and not offend your host. Like it or not.

Guess what the British told Dangote when he offered to buy Arsenal?

Until there is a law restricting movement n settlement in any part of Nigeria or repealing the right to freely establish n own businesses n properties in any part of Nigeria without harassment u n ur kind have no right to dictate who goes or stays where. In other words on the basis of those rights no 'host' should dictate to a citizen where or how to live provided they're not breaking any law or interfering with culture/tradition.
Business, commerce n politics have nothing to do with tradition so dem 'hosts' can shove it!

wale6run:
[b]You have reduced the discussion to alternating between whimpering and bigotry, which I will not dignify with further response hereafter.

Do you know how many nationalities or tribes are there in India, Ghana, Senegal, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Angola, South Africa, Kenya, USA, Canada etc? These were under colonial masters besides those previously listed. Either your history is faulty or you don't know your onions!

No body forced you into Nigeria. Indeed, one of your eminent sons, Zik, fought for Nigerian independence. You were happy for Ibos to be at the helm of affairs in Nigeria but as soon as power slipped from your hands, you started churning out outlandish excuses for Ibo-own country!

Power slipped from your hands because of that same tribal bigotry that conspired with Biafra to eliminate all National and regional leaders except of Ibos' extraction. This is the genesis of your mistrust in Nigeria. As for your threat of achieving Biafra come rain come sun shine, only an unhinged general will brag of running away from the war front as a feat.

No matter what unbaked response you care to write, I will not grace it any further but will leave you with this haunting images of what tribal bigotry, egocentricity and mad bragging entailed. Take a look:[/b]

As many tribes and as diverse as the countries u mentioned are, how many are as backward n skewed against a section as Nigeria? Is their development n governance tied to n dependent on one centre that shares money that doesn't come from it?

Bottom line is, we prefer to be alone since this experiment of amalgamation has stunted our growth. Until u can tell me with proof that Biafrans do not have a right to self-determination, all ur postulations are dead on arrival. The truth is what it is, u cannot hide it forever. Posting pictures of Nigeria's treachery against Biafrans only strengthen d resolve to be separate from perpetrators of such evil.

I always tell u, it is not your cause. We did not consent to Nigeria.
