The president of the federal republic of Nigeria can buy a new Jet if he feel that the old ones are not safe.
He can buy for his vice if he feels the vice may need another one for other duties.

That is what it is to be the president.

Anyone that doesnt like that can win a presidential election and buy two molues for himself and his vice.

Yes, this is your confirmation that you and your entire generation are nothing more than fools from the British Nigg.a+Area

What can you say when we are answering the name "Nigeria", and no one is even giving that serious thought.

Im happy at all these developments beacuse the handwriting is already on the wall. Those who were saying, "No, lets not fight, my broda dey for that North, or that bank, or that office",

Now they are saying, "The hell with the govt"

This govt will soon collapse

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=841953.msg9923712#msg9923712 date=1326083144]Mens dept,

Any movement of the populace against their govt is a major grievance and no one can predict the outcome.  Reversing the decision may not be enough to attenuate the energy on the street once it starts.  This is a political event.  Therefore if a strike result in a reversal, then those that participated to influence the decision will have a political gain that SE cannot share in.  This gain Im talking about is what in political chat is called "circle of influence", it has nothing to do with a substantial or material gain, but nonetheless goes a long way in securing a pivotal ground against which credits and favors can be drawn in future.[/quote]Perhaps

Yet, the SE, which is another term for Igboland, is an oil-producing region, and has a substantial part of Rivers and Delta that is Igboic. So actually, they will stand to gain from any favorable outcome of this fuel issue.

Nevertheless, if the govt reverses its decision, how REALLy will that change anything, or lead to changes in serious areas? Frankly, it wont. Thats why school strikes, NLC strikes, and even Okada strikes are SO common, because govt reverses its decision, and then reverses it again as if playing UNO, and nothing is accomplished

Therefore, taking to the streets should be for something GRAVE-such as asking for the President to step down, or a recall of all the Sinisters in Abuja, or removing Sharia law from the country.

Bliss4Lyfe:
Are these not Nigerians or is the removal of subsidies not also affecting their economic activities? Subsidies is bad news, and people are beginning to understand dat.

Sub is brought back, then what?

Please think and have priorities

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=841953.msg9923642#msg9923642 date=1326081234]If the rest of the country cannot count on you to join the subsidy protest, how can they count on your support if they troop out to protest boko violence?

On this occassion, you should come to the streets and protest like everyone else. The exercise will build your resilience and fortitude to stay and not beat a retreat when protests for other issues soon come up. Stay abreast![/quote]Protesting for fuel is pretty petty. Government can simply reverse the decision and guess what, Nigeria will still be messed up, we will still have the hawkers on 3rd Main bridge, still be offin and oning gen, etc.

So, taking to the streets should be for GEJ to step down, Theo Orji to step down, Ibori to be put on trial, IBB to be put on trial, Sharia law to be repealed, etc

hayoakins:
Use your brain sir

I'm glad I have one, unlike this rubbish you posted.

BTW, it wasnt funny

The report is the same old same old Nigerian journalism. We dont focus on important things, except the same old shyt from generation to generation. I guess it was okay for the journalist that Theo Orji put his son as part of his cabinet abi?

Lasinoh:
Because they are re-tarded of course.
After their so-called civil war. . .you would think they would have made Eastern Nigeria China or Japan with all their waka-waka.
Whosai!

Always here and there making noise. . .what a wasted sacrifice! TWA!

So-so ritualism, kidnapping, drug-trafficking and 419.

LEAVE THE NORTH AND GO BACK TO YOUR BIAFRA-NIGERIA!!!

Time to put your noise where your mouth is. . .instead of in the bush!

Thank God. . . my own better bred ANIOMA IGBO peeps are all in the South-South. . . they NEVER LIVED ANYWHERE ELSE BUT BRIEFLY.


Ndi-Igbo go back to your own land. . . and stop inhabiting the lands of others. YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN ONE NIGERIA. . . MOOOOOVE YOUR BLOOMING AZZZZES!!!!

Last time I checked, "Anioma" was and still is and Igbo expression.

Last time I checked, "Anioma" was and is still fighting to be carved out of Delta state (SOUTH SOUTH)

Last time I checked, "Anioma" folks were massacred by the Nigerian Army at every "Anioma" town, including Asaba during the war

Last time I checked, an "Anioma" man named Nzeogwu staged a coup, which directly/indirectly led to what we currently have in the failed Nigerian state

Last time I checked, "Anioma" didnt have a world class university, highway, hospital, stadium, airport, or shyt as we speak,

So Sharrap

Nchara:
Yes we should be striking against Boko Haram not against fuel subsidy
In fact any sane Nigerian should be asking for 100% resource control. Each state has one or more resources to control.

Yes. This FUel  stuff is just a joke. See many Nigerians all going berzerk because of fuel, yet all this year what have they been doing? WHat did they do when Yar Adua was gone for 40 days and 40 nights? What did folks in Abia state do when all the so-called leaders were re-rigged for another wasteful 4 years?

Nonsense

TRUTHTELA:
Where is Obasanjo? Why is he SILENT? Soyinka, Achebe, Buhari & other GREAT MINDS, with CLEAN HANDS and MORAL JUSTIFICATION to SPEAK their minds, have all SPOKEN about the SUBSIDY.

Is Obasanjo's silence a subtly way of endorsing the subsidy?

Or he knows how much his name STINKS & chose to respect himself??

Please we dont need Obasanjo or BUHARI to speak. Thank you

Why arent Boko Haram boys dealing with this so-called "Bishop". Look at all those fools in that so-called church laughing like silly Africans and giving their n50 contributions. Meanwhile, their country stinks and is fowl.

People wake up one day and award themselves the name Pastor, or in this case "Bishop", call their building one heavy name, wear 2nd hand suits and scream when they are "Preaching". Then the useless followers who see another opportunity to tie Gele flock, deceiving themselves into believing these con men who have seen an avenue for wealth and attention are men of god.

The day the good people of the nation overthrow and put the leaders on trial, so should they capture and rid the nation of these "Pastor" phuckers.

tit:
which refinery did buhari build?
buhari did not build half a refinery!
next we shall hear a brickie claim he built the 3rd mainland bridge.
buhari only legacy as head of state, is truncating democracy and selective incarceration and persecution.

Yes!

Hamintab:
out of selfish sentiments n baise, som pple wld just open thr dirty mouth and say non sense. Those of u who av z rubbish about buhari, just name one person in your entire generation both in d past n yet to come dat can do beta dan Buhari or dat can achieve the wat he has achived in gorvanace when he was Head of State or in trust n integrity. Can OBJ commend any other govt official d way he did Buharri?. We all know buhari can do d best for us in Nigeria, but due to sentiments by most individuals n fear d corrupt leaders ave for him, dey wont let him be. They just go around cooking up stories agnst him. When Nigerians go eva think with d right sense?. We were all shouting GEJ the, i guess he has just started now. Can any one see reason with the calculations elrufai made above, nd tell Badluck Jonah to com defend it. Well, cant even say much since we already beliv his election was free n fair after the strategic mass rigging in d SE/SS/NE wch we cant all deny. This is just d beginning.

Please ah, register for a grammer class, and learn how to communicate "Berra"

Well this list is just a list. Egyptians are not cowards, and had the "literacy" to riot in their millions to effect change in a country that usually has light, better roads, better stadiums, and a better economy than Nigeria.

What has all the education that Nigerians (especially Southerners) done for the nation, even for their towns or selves?

stayreal:
Nigerians did not make a mistake, Nigeria is the mistake! It should have never been created. It is the white man's creation. Until you understand this, you are still blind!

Yes

kingoflag:
Buhari set us back 20 yrs by building 3 refineries and eliminating corruption? Nice one.

Maybe I'll like Nigeria to be dragged back another 20 yrs "Buhari" style

Only 3?

koruji:
Oh really, you want your freedom but you will ignore the concerns of the "new minorities". You 'll be surprised that even those other states that are not core Ibo a.k.a the South-South will opt out of Biafra.

This is really the main reason Nigeria cannot be divided. There are too many ways you can skin this cat, and the individual components will still behave like the original Nigeria.

The only way it is going to work out for Nigeria is to get together and practice true Federalism - with power massively concentrated at the state level.

Otherwise, this geographical expression called Nigeria will be transfered back to the 19th century and its many wars.

What is your definition of "true federalism". We've heard that BS term over and over and the so-called founding fathers operated on a regional system, with equal rights as the central government.  All these so-called states are actually unconstitutional, illegal, and are one of the reasons why our country is in shambles. Kano state with less population gets more allocation than a more populous state like Lagos right? The Northwest has 7 states and the South East 5?

So, without a majority demographic, we should allow for the "NEW" minority,or else a state like Edo will "OPT" out? What if Ibanke that we hear doesnt want to be in Edo state wants to opt out of the Edo Republic?

Danka7777:
Another brainwashed Nigerian who lives abroad and thinks things should be done in Nigeria as it is done in these countries. Let me warn, never you mention France, US, Britain in any of these BLOOD SUCKERS OF BLACK RACE/AFRICAN PEOPLE  on this forums. That tells me the level of your thinking and inferiority complex you have. These same countries that literally violated Libya and against the progress of Africa.

Local champion, see your profile says Dallas abi? Well guess what, France, US, Britain, China, Japan, Tunisia, and even Ghana are better than Nigeria. Yep.

See how France and Britain have turned the language on Nairaland and Ivory Coast land (if that exist) into their own language. See how its there airlines that we fly all over the world on. See how our people line up in bars to watch Chelsea.

And guess what, they (Britain, U.S) give Black faces like you scholarship and financial aid to go to school when your schools are on strike, or is it transcript that you must bring n20,000 to get from UniLag?

Please do yourself a favor and forget that you have a miserable life.

koruji:
You better think it over.

Some state would want none of those three: Edo, Benue, Plateau, Nassarawa and Kogi might decide to form their own republic, although Edo/Kogi might prefer to be part of an Odua Republic by another name, but they are not going to be part of Biafra/Arewa for sure.

In any case, it is not going to happen without some great calamity of war or event.

Actually I've thought it over, and frankly the states you mentioned can be divided by "Nigeria" whether they like it or not. And frankly, if there's going to be the obvious change, it's not going to be to carve microscopic "Nigerias" where there's no majority tongue or demographic and again more confusion.

In the United States, say an army general overthrew the government, especially at a time that many parts of the country were developing for the first time in 13 years. This man who was not elected by the people, did not have the peoples mandate, and who decided to militarize the nation was overthrown and left in the wilderness for sometime. Then the man comes to join another military rogues government as chairman of a fund that the rogue created, praised the rogue, and then decided that he should run for president?

I bet you that that man would not even have the audacity to contest for Mayor, not in the U.S., England, France, Germany, or even Tunisia.

Yet, Nigerians, because its the Nigg.a+Area, yes, Buhari is so better, we need him to come from 1983 and rule us in this new age because we feel he will be honest se'?

Common

Are southerners serious? They bring back the sub for gas and yet no good hospitals, schools, roads, airlines, etc. How I wish NATO would stop giving Nigerians Visa to go to better countries, and putting heavy taxes on cars and cloths imported from abroad. How I wish Nato countries would not take/admit any stinking Nigerian politician in their hospitals or universities so that they will suffer the same thing everyone else is suffering from.

Total revolution is needed.

What is this?

All southerners and/or Christians with roots from the south that live and continue to go to the north are not serious. That's why the international community will never care about them being killed. If the fly doenst want to hear word, it will be buried with the corpse. Finish

Well, you and I know that Ontario is better than Lagos, and in fact Canada is better than "Nigeria". Imagine if Africans gave the Canadians the name "Canada" lol.

As for States collecting taxes and all-the answer is not so fast. WHy cant we scrap states and go back to regions? That way we can eventually rid ourselves or so-called governors like Theo Orji.

Then we can begin to talk about taxes, police, and those things that the western world has been able to localized with ease.

Olodostein:
Just look around, they are already running the show. We have gained nothing but bunch of thieves in Agbada called politicians from this so called democracy.

GEJ you are done. Instead of stabilise one issue before moving to the next, you act without thinking. A classic case of, "Na double wahala for dead body".

Welcome on board Khaki boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are our minds so colonized and militarized that military take over needs to happen? How about partitioning the country, particularly removing those states that decided to say phuck Naija and implement Sharia law?

auwal87:
Arewa Republic
Odua Republic
Republic of Biafra

This is the obvious answer, even before the war. Yet "Nigerians" who dont understand or know how that name (or Naira) came about are still busy being "Nigerians" lol.

And South South rep? Really?

Nonsense

Both El Rufai and Buhari are part of the problem, that's why Rufai talks with both his butt cheeks, and Buhari- a couptist, is always insisting to be a party's presidential candidate election in election out.

The truth is that organizations like Ohanasilly, Arewa Consulting Ltd, Afenefire on th Mountain and co have all failed their people and are not to be taken seriously. Igbo folks should have since learned their lessons, and yet they are back in their thousands in the "north", talking about constitutional right lol.

Yoruba, despite having elected leaders since 1999, have not developed one inch of their land outside of the metro zone of Lagos.

The north is still the same as it always has been, with its leaders choppn plenty money under the radar.

The only groups/regions that has been serious recently are the Niger-Deltans and these Boko boyz who are doing somewhat what the average "Nigerian" ouught to be doing=Taking the bull by the horn.

Boko Haram is not interested in breaking the "North" from Nigeria. That has never made any sense and is wishful thinking and hope among MUMU Southerners.

Boko Haram is doing three things:

1) Getting so-called international fame (particularly among their Arab Idols who of course will never accept their BLACK faces as equals)

2) Allowing themselves and the North to continue to punk the Cowards and Complacent Owabe Southerners who would rather speak American slang than the truth about all their filthy cities

3) To promote a foreign faith that a handful of elites have found useful in gaining relevance, prestige, and pun.ani among Mass of folks that have forgotten their true Hausa/Fulani/Nupe/Tiv history and way of life.

I have long decided that I would not participate in any discourse that pertains to Nigeria because a Nigerian always has good ideas and always articulates his stance with eloquence, vehemence, and unbridled passion; however, these passion and words have, unfortunately, failed to materialize into any substantial and tangible results. Aren't we tired of blowing grammar? I, also, am part of the problem. My father and his friends are part of the problem, arguing for decades without end and without results; his father did the same thing. I am afraid that this is the legacy we shall leave for our children: The Supreme Art of Debating Nigeria's Problems.

That so many top cities in the world have GDPs that dwarf that of our nation is not a concern to both our leaders and our people because we are a content people, and as long as we have a roof over our heads, food to eat, spouses to nak, and beer to drink, we are good. It is impossible for a corrupt politician who has millions stashed in foreign banks to think about these fundamental problems, for he thinks not about the nation, but himself and his family, and until his source of income---oil---is depleted, he couldn't care any less.


We do need to dialogue about our state of affairs and how we can compete on a global scale, instead of constantly deceiving ourselves that we are the giant of Africa, while our GDP is less than that of South Africa. Our problems are not surprising; afterall, on each street in most south western states, there is at least one Church, but you would be hard pressed to find that many factories.[/quote]This is the definition of Patriotism. You are more Patriotic than most of these Niger-Area folks that dont realize that they are acting just like Nigga.s

Indeed, we have more churchs than factories, more people interested in tying Gele and watching Arsenal than being serious about themselves and community. Wetin concern me is more of a response to a plethora of obvious problems, rather than Enough is Enough.

I guess those who have a little spare cash (bankers for example) are looking at how to buy American cars and Japanese phones, or better yet, how to go born pikin in America for Pale.

^^^ Yep, its not a priority right now. Scrapping some states is even the better route

^^^^ Word. Nigeria speaks for Queen Eliza
