haha they've started with their insults. Typical. Bashe ka wai. They bill will never be passed if they north dont want it to be passed so save your energy. Hahahà,  Like i've said earlier i (and most of my middle belt kindreds) dont give 2 4ks about your oil. Yay. I'd get them pissed for sayin that, lol. 

hackney:
Majority of food stuff are grown in the north ( i presume).

Denying the north the proceeds of crude oil will be an act against humanity. (same country)
I believe the S.S deserves much more of the proceeds but one needs to show fairness to
the north because if nothing else,they have some humans amongst them and they need to run their society too.

Sagamite:
Exactly.

People will be opening their mouth saying Northerners are lazy and produce nothing when they produce nada too. Just because they are lucky oil is deposited in their region or seas around it.

Hardly any region bar Lagos, Ogun, Oyo and maybe some few Igbo states (I am aware of) that DO MANUFACTURE something or produce tangible jackshit. Yet what even those produce is not sufficient.

Do they? I am not aware.

Is it industrial? What is the quantity?
[b]
HOW CAN THEY BUILD INDUSTRY WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO POVERTY FOR OVER 50 YEARS BY THESE HAUSA FULANI THAT GOD WILL PUNISH. BY THE WAY WHO TOLD YOU THAT THERE ARE NO INDIGENOUS OIL COMPANY THAT CAN PRODUCE OIL? WHO OWN LONSTAR DRILLING COMPANY? TAKE AWAY THE FOREIGN OIL COMPANIES AND SEE WHETHER WE CANNOT PRODUCE OIL. MOST OF THE DIESEL YOU PEOPLE ARE BUYING ARE BEING REFINED LOCALLY IN THE RIVER BY OUR PEOPLE. IS THAT NOT TECHNOLOGY? MENTION THE INVENTION MADE BY BOKO HARAM. ALL WE ARE SAYING IS THAT WE WANT TO USE OUR OIL MONEY FOR INDUSTRIALIZATION OF OUR AREA, WE WANT OUR REGION TO BE THE JAPAN OF AFRICA, WE WANT TO PRODUCE AIR CRAFT HERE. WE KNOW THAT THE CRUDE WILL BE EXHAUSTED ONE DAY AND WE WANT TO CREATE AN ECONOMY THAT IS LESS DEPENDENT ON CRUDE OIL SO THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME THING TO FALL BACK ON WHEN THE OIL IS EXHAUSTED. THAT IS WHY OUR GOVERNOR ALWAYS USE THE SLOGAN 'DELTA WITHOUT OIL' 'GREEN DELTA', ETC. WE ARE ALREADY PROVIDING FOOD FOR OURSELVES. SO MANY YOUTHS HAVE BEEN SENT TO ISRAEL TO LEARN MOTHERN AGRICULTURE. IF THE OWNERS OF THE OIL CAN BE MAKING PLANS TO LIVE WITHOUT OIL THEN WHY ARE THE NORTHERNERS RELYING SOLELY ON OUR OIL PERPETUALLY. THEY SHOULD THINK OF OTHER MEANS OF REVENUE BECAUSE THESE OUR OIL NA NO GO AREA.

You are a big fool. PDP Zoned the Speakership to the South West not because ACN voted for Jonathan but, because, it a PDP affairs. People like you are the reason Nigeria will never work.

@Original Poster,
You think you can just sit in your parlour and divide a country or do that on nairaland. Please get a brain. When addressing issues of this nature, be very objective. Nigeria as an entity needs every segment of its constituents. The north needs the south and vice-versa. Every part of Nigeria has its peculiar challenges. Boko-Haram is to the north as militancy and kidnapping is to the south. You cannot just sit down and say the constitution should be suspended. How? Are we in a military regime? We can go on and on to mention quite a lot of things about our challenges as a country. Learn to to be optimistic than to be pessimistic.

Desola:
The hour has come.

If you have the means, start evacuating your families now. Its gonna be 6months tops!

I think there is need for true federalism. The north will resist the equation of their representative strength with the south. How do you start the lengthy process of making North 20 states & south 20 states.presently it is 19 vs 17. How about the skewed number of arbitrary inequalities in wards, LGA. When OBJ quietly tried to give SE a sixth state. SE bungled it, by refusing to agree with itself. Of course other regions capitalized on SE disunity to multiply demands for states. The matter became dirty politics & died. Even David Mark used state creation to win re-election, himself knows NO ADDITIONAL STATE WILL BE CREATED. The north will agree if any such creation will further their arbitrary advantage.

GEJ tried to establish a power balance by boldly denying South East speaker position despite all the tantrums thrown at him. He is not PDP & can do no less than congratulate Tambuwal. He is not PDP chairman. He is president of all parties & persons. The only way to remove Tambuwal is to rope him into fraud. Are you even sure his removal will assure the emergence of someone of SW. Already the North is happy with the distortion as it confirms their superiority in matters of naija politics. In two years time, a plot will emerge to impeach GEJ. & Sambo installed. Naija won't break. Have you forgotten what Tambuwal said in his phoney apology to PDP leadership that his emergence was a stroke from above (God), Of course just as GEJ came from GOD too, TO DENY NORTH PRESIDENCY.

Mind you, the North is not interested in breaking naija. They are proudly born to rule. Whether they rule well or badly. Think up other strategy of getting a balance. Revenue sharing, yes. Community policing, recreation of nigeria into six state structure where each state is the present geo-region. Breaking nigeria cannot help anybody. The integration is too deep for any re-gluing.
But true federation won't come from any sovereign conference. To institute a sovereign conference equals suspending constitution. No president will do that. Weakening the center through Revenue sharing will make good start.

From your rants above,you are assuming i'm a northerner,big mistake.
To the body of your comment,i take it your head was hidden in the sands when PDP was making overtures to the ACN prior to the inauguration of the 7th assembly.Get it into your skull that the ACN is wise to PDP's poison pill.
Again,tell me why the ACN would move against a speaker they practically installed with help from other elements in the house.Your entire posts (rants as i see them),makes no sense,hence they are silly.

Abu-Maryam:
@poster, You are a disgrace to your teachers, when you said the north has influentially used theire size to manipulate the emergence of Tambuwal as speaker

house of asssembly, how on your earth do you call them to remove him, I'm certain na carpenter built your head, 

pokur:
@Poster
silly post.
First,PDP cannot suspend Tambuwal,he will simply decamp to CPC or ACN while retaining his Speakership.
Secondly,he was elected by more than two-third majority of the house.To remove him,you need two-third of all members.How is the PDP going to achieve that when they don't have the numbers.
Its high time PDP/GEJ apologists got it into their skulls that the beat has changed in nigerian politics.Nigerians conducted the funeral service of zoning during the April elections,their representatives simply finished the burial rites.
BTW,the aftermath of the elections has clearly shown we have more tribalists in the South of Nigeria than previously thought.All that diatribe about northern agenda/frustrating GEJ presidency is bunkum,the man can no longer hide behind his finger if he does not perform.As things look now,i'm not holding out any hopes.

ladies and gentlemen
pls i got a word of advice to chip in for edo state/people that S/W no send them they should wake da fu-ck up   i will give an example from what i saw in nation newspaper. Yorubas telling our president PLEASE READ  




source said: "Our position is that Aganga is from Sabongida-Ora in Edo State, as far as records on his parents are concerned. He has no basis to claim that he is from Lagos State.
"We bear no grudge against Aganga because he is eminently qualified as a Nigerian and a technocrat. But he cannot usurp the slot meant for Lagos State. The President is free to choose him as his nominee from Edo State.
"So, this time around, we want an indigene of Lagos as the ministerial candidate for the state. Aganga cannot even represent the Southwest. CASE CLOSE
