state creation or state disunity?
its a tool used in reducing democracy in any democratic state. The people are divided along their language, belief, ethnic and political beliefs.
it takes the devil a minute to raise its ugly head and people will start jockeying for position, and it take another 50 years before they can pitch their tents in any political camp, another 50 to stabilise and 25 to develop.

i'll advice GEL or nee Akinjide to even merge some states not create any.

@maclatunji
[[tr]td]Nigeria is a beautiful name. If the people of Niger Republic are not complaining, what is our own problem? Your name is not your problem, it is your attitude.

Look at the River Niger, have we made any meaningful use of it ? Yet, some of us have the nerve to whine about the name when it reminds  us that we have this great river at our disposal everyday.[/td]
[size=14pt]you need to understand the historical factor behind the name and who bears it. The south shares it with the north.[/size][/tr]your background is the foundation of your life.
the north assume that name believing its their heritage. no matter their level if illiteracy that belief system will make them walk tall

simple analysis
the heir to the throne, however his level of illiteracy, he is a voice in his town, and  Acknowledged more than some profs
that kingship has become his heritage hence his attitude.

Let him know that his lineage is crushed hence no inheritance, i tell you his attitude will change.
that is the problem we need to address[td][/td][tr][/tr]

[[td]b]Well said, the OP has done some good basic academic research but to say our problem in this country is our name is laughable[/b][/td]

that name is the principal factor that has stagnated us.
A region had that name before amalganation, hence their assumption of ownership and superiority over the other regions. This has eaten deep into them that made them belief they own nigeria,

if we change that name then the arrogance is crushed, and nothing to hold on to.
we are new and fresh.
ALL ONE

Reason for creating the union (false marriage)

the reason for the decision of the British Government to amalgamate the two incompatible territories was purely financial or economic. The Northern Protectorate was not economically viable. It had become a great drain on the British tax payer


the north's position on nigeria
according to Lord Harcourt, the British Colonial Secretary, unification of Nigeria demanded both "method" and "a man". The man was to be Lord Lugard and the method was to be the "marriage" of the two entities. According to Lord Harcourt

the north's mind
Thus, in this "marriage", the North, right from the beginning, was to be "man" and "husband" and the South, the "woman" and "wife".

why they bahave so
It was a deadly serious matter, with the game plan being to bring the two parties together in order to give the North political power over the South and permanent control over Southern resources


In the England of the time of Lord Harcourt, married woman had no independent existence outside their marriage. All the women's property and resources automatically became the husbands'. The woman could not enter into a contract in her own right. Her husband had to conclude all her contracts on her behalf.


Lord Harcourt had the Common Law position in mind when he decided to marry the young man without means, to the young lady of means.


why we are where we are
The Northern politicians understood the plan perfectly and have implemented it faithfully and fervently since then. They are well focused on how to cling to power, for they know that that is the route to Southern resources. How have they retained power? The formula has been an amazingly simple one: Control of the Army and manipulation of the Census figures. All this, combined with help from British Administrators of Nigeria right up till independence, have assured the North of permanent political power and control of Southern resources[b][/b]

Lastly,
Majority of southern leaders have the perception of going to extra lenght in trying please the north, they tends to over look things and allow the north to have their ways. Obj, Gej are typical example of goats.

you are damn right on that, the whole south is ignorant of the false union nigeria.
until that name is changed or the history rewritten, we cant resolve the problem at hand.

"We have released Northern Nigeria from the leading strings of the Treasury.
statement of lord harcourt the sec gen of nigeria


So looking at the three points, the letters are bogus and are composed with an agenda to further weaken the Emirate under the British influence.

you need to realise that the salutations came from lugards memoir on nigeria.
if he lied then the creation of nigeria is ??

you need to realise that these statements are not prefabs.
Authentic.

the amalgamation was created cos the north could not sustain itself.
the north was a burden on british government, so the remedy was the south.





"Lord Harcourt went to the House of Commons on June 27, 1913 after receiving
Lugard's report on his tour of the North and the South and announced the new
British government policy of two Nigerias. According to Lord Harcourt,
unification of Nigeria demanded both "a method" and "a man." The man was to
be Lord Lugard and the method was to be the marriage of the two entities.
According to Lord Harcourt:
"We have released Northern Nigeria from the leading strings of the Treasury.
The promising and well conducted youth is now on an allowance on his own and
is about to effect an alliance with a southern lady of means. I have issued
the special licence and Sir Frederick Lugard will perform the ceremony. May
the union be fruitful and the couple constant. (Italics mine)" We have released Northern Nigeria from the leading strings of the Treasury.
The promising and well conducted youth is now on an allowance on his own and
is about to effect an alliance with a southern lady of means. I have issued
the special licence and Sir Frederick Lugard will perform the ceremony. May
the union be fruitful and the couple constant

you cant separate your future from the past.
your past is the foundation of your live, then you build on it.
Historically the south had been decieved for 100 years, but there is a better tommorow.
the north is living in the shadows of lugard that created the shakles on the south.
Time up.

the educated north
From Lugard's papers, were letters in Hausa showing the warm relationship
between the Emirs and Lugard. Examples demonstrate the difference between
the North and South. Some of these letters are:


SHEHU OF BORNO:

"Letter from the slave of God, to our good helper, our prop, the solver of
our difficulties, the one who carries our heavy burdens, Governor Lugard
with salutations more scented than the musk perfume and sweeter than honey.
May God prolong your life, the keeper of those who keep others."

EMIR OF BIDA:

"Sent, salutations and goodwill shining bright as do the planets and
constant as their light as the return of morn and eve, Oh! My Chief, my
Leader, we ask God to prolong your life in prosperity and health. My present
to you is a sword in a silver scabbard and two gowns."

EMIR OF YOLA:

"To the Deputy of the King of England, the governor, who holds all our
country in his and rules it all. A thousand salutations and fealty and
homage repeated."

EMIR OF JAMA:

"I and my people, all of us, will not refrain from praying for you morning
and evening, I told my people to rejoice at your safe return. We rode our
horses and raced. I read your letter morning and evening and it makes me
very happy."

EMIR OF NUPE:

"Many beautiful salutations, a clean love, my present to you is two
turkeys, I package of plantains and I of limes."

in UK they call it know your neighbour, where everyone comes together and have fun

watch the islamic banking.
it will crash the masses purse in the south
the old lord lugard's reason for amalgamation.
the south will finance the north

its like there is a vacuum in ACN leadership which is affecting election results in different zones.
please EKO ILE its like you have links in the party,
states in other regions needs support, you need not wait till 2015,

fashola and other sw governors should have supported , finance and advice the acn guy.

they should refrain from managing democracy ie patching and stiching the system.
we need to tell the nigerian story as it is then create a democratic nigeria.

how much goes to developing the region?
this managing democracy, not practicing democracy

that is the way out in nigerian politics.
Do away with representative democracracy and introduce participatory democracy.
get people involved.

i saw a documentary on bbc sometimes ago.
those guys were tutored on public administration before the handing over.

mass democratic illiteracy

can someone help with the section of the constitution that states that preisdency should be rotated amongst the zones

NIGERIA AS A NAME
In the literature on the origin of Nigeria as a name, it first appeared in The Times of London on January 8, 1897 in an essay written by Miss Flora Shaw, who later became the wife of Lord Lugard. Was she sent by God to come up with the term in the word of President Obasanjo? Maybe she was but she did not say so in her essay.

In her essay she was making a case for a shorter term that would be used for the "agglomeration of pagan and Mahomedan States" that was functioning under the official title, "Royal Niger Company Territories". She thought that the term, Royal Niger Company Territories" was too long to be used as a name of a Real Estate Property under the Trading Company in that part of Africa. She was right. That has nothing to do with the people in that part of Africa. What is important in Flora Shaw’s article was that she was in search of a new name and she coined "Nigeria" in preference to such terms as "Central Sudan" that was associated with some geographers and travelers. She thought that the term "Sudan" at this time was associated with a territory in the Nile basin. She then put forward this argument in the Financial Times of London of January 8, 1897 thus:
The name Nigeria applying to no other part of Africa may without offence to any neighbours be accepted as co-extensive with the territories over which the Royal Niger Company has extended British influence , and may serve to differentiate them equally from the colonies of Lagos and the Niger Protectorate on the coast and from the French territories of the Upper Niger.

What is important in the name coined by Miss Flora Shaw were the following facts:
That Nigeria was to apply to the "agglomeration of pagan and Mahomedan States" meaning the North as we know it today;
That the term, Nigeria was to serve to differentiate the area of the Royal Niger Company from other areas. This means that Nigeria was not to apply to Lagos colonies and other Protectorates in the south, meaning the current southern states;
That the term Nigeria was to apply to the Royal Niger Company Territories. It should be noted that Sir Frederick Lugard was hired by the Royal Niger Company to bring together under his administration the "Pagan and Mahomedan States".
That the name later assumed by the collection of territories amalgamated in 1914 was actually an incorporation of the two system of administration in the south (Lagos Colony and Protectorate) into an existing entity put together under the Royal Niger Company called Nigeria.
That the use of a name that was already assumed by the British territories in the north for all the territories amounted to a colossal fraud.


the reason for the decision of the British Government to amalgamate the two incompatible territories was purely financial or economic. The Northern Protectorate was not economically viable. It had become a great drain on the British tax payer. On the other hand, the Southern Protectorate was not just economically buoyant, it was producing surpluses every year. The British design was, therefore, to remove the Northern financial burden from its own neck and hang it on the neck of the hapless Southern Protectorate;
o according to Lord Harcourt, the British Colonial Secretary, unification of Nigeria demanded both "method" and "a man". The man was to be Lord Lugard and the method was to be the "marriage" of the two entities. According to Lord Harcourt:

"We have released Northern Nigeria from the leading strings of the Treasury. The promising and well conducted youth is now on an allowance on his own and is about to effect an alliance with a Southern lady of means. I have issued the special license and Sir Frederick Lugard will perform the ceremony. May the union be fruitful and the couple constant".
Thus, in this "marriage", the North, right from the beginning, was to be "man" and "husband" and the South, the "woman" and "wife".
The use of the term, "Youth" (man) for the North and "Lady" (woman) for the South was not an accident, nor an exercise in humour. It was a deadly serious matter, with the game plan being to bring the two parties together in order to give the North political power over the South and permanent control over Southern resources.
In the England of the time of Lord Harcourt, married woman had no independent existence outside their marriage. All the women's property and resources automatically became the husbands'. The woman could not enter into a contract in her own right. Her husband had to conclude all her contracts on her behalf.
Although this position altered by the Married Women's Property Act of 1882, Lord Harcourt had the Common Law position in mind when he decided to marry the young man without means, to the young lady of means. That latter was to provide the wherewithal for the former to live well and be master of the house for the rest of their lives. Omo Omoruyi has lamented as follows, regarding the devastating consequences of this marriage on the Southern lady of means:
"Today, the "Southern Lady of Means" is richer and the bridegroom "the well conducted youth" from the North is poorer and poorer over the years, a situation not even anticipated in 1914. Hence the "husband" in the typical Nigerian fashion would ensure that the relationship is maintained at all cost, even if it means killing the bride in order to take over her wealth. This is the situation the oil producing part of the South finds itself in today. According to Alhaji Gambo Jimeta, the North (husband) will go to war over oil".
The Northern politicians understood the plan perfectly and have implemented it faithfully and fervently since then. They are well focused on how to cling to power, for they know that that is the route to Southern resources. How have they retained power? The formula has been an amazingly simple one: Control of the Army and manipulation of the Census figures. All this, combined with help from British Administrators of Nigeria right up till independence, have assured the North of permanent political power and control of Southern resources


To resolve the issue at hand, this per arranged marriage has to be annulled and divorced. Both parties needed to understand why the and what necessitated it. The divorce must be amicable to bothe parties then, we can re- negotiate the union. Or we split.
Then we can create a new union with a new name
