Thank you.
It is also interesting to know that this southern English speaking part are the ones calling themselves Ambazonia and fighting a secession war to break away from the french speaking part because they claimed they have not been treated fairly,now you begin to ask the propagandist whether it's the igbos that are responsible for their acclaimed ill treatment.
Like I said i earlier, people just want to identify with their own homogeneous group and govern themselves.this is one of the main reasons Europe countries are relatively peaceful and progressive.

But Ambazonians are almost similar to our Efiks. They have nothing in common with those people in the heart of Cameroon around Doula and Yahounde. Something must made them choose some distant tribe in d middle of Cameroon instead of the kith and kin in cross river State. The only plausible reason was d dominance of d Igbo.

MadamExcellency:
I listened to a Nigerien Soldier scolding our president and Military to defeat Bandits and kidnappers in Nigeria first before fighting the Coup plotters in the Niger Republic. He claimed that no armed private group can sustain banditry in Niger Republic.

I became confused after watching the video.

The video u watched was a Ghanaian Soldier.

OAFMods:
Same reason there are no ESN IPOB UGM

But these people want independence now.

The problem with people like you is ignorance coupled with the fact that you have imbibed so much propaganda.
As at the time in question, between 1959 to 1967, though oil was a good source of revenue, but it was a not a big earner, Agriculture was.Oil only became a big earner as from 1971 because of the Arab Israeli war, when most Arab nations refused to export oil to western nations.that is the first oil boom that Gowon and yorubas wasted.
As for the gibberish about the minorities suffered in the hands of the igbos, that is total bumkum because the Wilkins report made it clear that there was no such, as compared to what the Bendelites suffered in the hands of the yorubas.the minorities simply wanted their own State just as presently people are clamoring for the creation of more states.
And we will keep hammering it into you people's head that the reason why igbos are in Lagos is because they are merchants just like they are in Togo,Accra, Abidjan, etc and have nothing to do with your land being inhabited by people that speak yoruba language.

The minorities suffered in the hands of the Igbo necessitating the Anglo Cameroonians to join their rather strange French cousins instead of remaining in English speaking Nigeria.

Is there a conspiracy between bandits and traditional rulers in Nigeria. Me I No understand oh😳

flokii:
Regional government.. regions held their leaders accountable unlike the Igbos that left East to other parts of Nigeria looking for people to dominate and become lord over.

Till date, they can't subdue the much superior Yoruba race and it has been a big burden and headache for them.

We already had skyscraper (Cocoa house) in Ibadan when Igbos didn't have a single storey building worthy of note in the East. Their Azikiwe was so fixated on Yorubaland and Yoruba progress that he almost went mad.

I thought oil was discovered in 1958, who was getting the proceeds of oils between 1958 to 1966 b4 the first coup. Because I am surprised by levels of development in the then Eastern region.

mrvitalis:
Same reason eastern Nigeria built a university before Nigeria

Had industrial parks before Nigeria

While some regions were doing feel good projects without any single chance of profitability

Other regions were building it's people strategically,

We know which regions had most registered businesses and cars

I am remember when the the Northern party won the 1963 elections with Zik, the Sarduna turned down being the prime minister but instead chose Tarawa Balewa to represent him. The regions had clout then.

It is like Atiku turning down opportunity to be VP rather choosing to be the Governor of Adamawa state.

I think because in the olden days of Regionalism. The regions were more powerful than the centre. The centre only dealt with foreign affairs, the military and currency. The regions control the resources.

Having said that how come the Eastern Region which was controlling the oil in Nigeria did not make Eastern region the Dubai of Africa. At least they were controlling the resources in Eastern region.

How come Western Nigeria had a TV station b4 the Federal Government.

This should be implemented like yesterday.

izonborn098:
The minister is appointed by the president and he follow the orders of the president....
So such thing is impossible, btw phone voting maybe rigged more than this normal voting..

It can be encrypted properly. If the most important thing in our lives “money” we leave to our bankers to take care of. How about sorting out a common civic duty which is not life and death. We should just go ahead and do it.

izonborn098:
They will buy all the phones in this world...politicians take drugs so don't underrate them..

That new minister for digital economy must work on this task. He should be able to deliver a robust tight software before 2027.

All those billions spent on INEC can be used in building roads, railways and other infrastructure. Let us use our brains.

izonborn098:
Election will be take place again in 2027, save ur energy till 2027..

Let us put this initiative in place in Africa and that would be the ends of coup in Africa. Nigeria can lead from the front.

If we can use our phones to transfer thousands, millions and billions what is so difficult in performing a civic duty like voting. Haba!!

Haba!

It is cheaper,
You don’t have to spend billions,
The results are almost instantly,
No more unnecessary expenses going to court over election matters.

Modalities 1 phone number is attached to one voter registered number. Even if you have 10 numbers u can only use one to vote.

It is not rocket science,Estonian already do their elections that way.

What are we waiting for?

There is no cure for HIV virus. Stop spreading false information, it is dangerous.

HIV can only be contained by putting the patient on a lifetime medication.

You are in the analogue generation. HIV today have cure, join d digital generation.

Mrfeel:
You think am just making it up? It's not news in makurdi akume and his wife are HIV positive

But HIV is no more a killer disease anymore especially for the rich. It can actually be cured now.

Parachoko:
I hope your State of Origin Capital have a Pedestrianized Street, abi nah only Lagos deserve to have it in Nigeria?

Some of you empty headed special assistant need to read the subject matter properly b4 showing your illiteracy online.

Parachoko:

No state in Nigeria has it, not even your new capital city Abuja that is bearly 30 years old.

Y obi come disturb himself to dey campaign for Edio State, 18 - 0 , haba!!!

No wonder our new capital has turned into a slum. When 4 people brought 64 people to d world. Going by that stats Nigeria population could easy jump from 200 million to about 900 million within a couple of years.

MTNnews:
But I tot Anambra imo Ebonyi Abia Enugu as the same pedestrianised bridge ?

Hopefully, you won't turn this to ethnic brouhaha because I asked if some other state has what you ask of Lagos.

A pedestrianised street is a street cars are not allowed to go into. It is wide enough to take cars on both sides of the street but it is normally a street full of bars, restaurants and clubs plus hotels. A proper red light zone. No Nigeria city has such a place.

But small Kigali has it.

E be like say labor party’s other name be reject.

How do u develop a new city. Activities develop a city, activities like marathon, car racing, concerts, hotels and bars. Look at Dubai.

Do you know Lagos the most commercial city in Nigeria does not have a pedestrianised street.

Kigali has it, which is commendable.

I don’t get it, why is Headies Musical award held in Atlanta USA.

How do we promote tourism in Nigeria by doing that. We should have a beautiful convention centre built in Eko Atlantic City, build hotels around it with full pedestrianised roads full of bars to brighten the whole atmosphere.

I am sure our multi billion companies can sponsor it if comes to sponsors.

But having it outside Nigeria is a No-No

EDOSBROWN:
Seconded

If it succeeds then we move it Gubernatorial and then preindustrial election.

As a pre-emptive steps towards electronic voting. INEC should organise next LG elections. We the citizens will vote with our phones this would assist INEC in recognising any bottlenecks that would help against the general election.

This road was supposed to be be a superhighway.

If there is coup in Nigeria Northerners would rule. A member of a winning team should never alter those kind of words. Politics is over we are in governance now.

That man behaves like a kid.
