This is a big matter of ethnicity because we were all ethnic groups long before we ever became Nigerians. We all came into Nigeria as ethnic groups and the regions must be comprised of ethnic groups that agree to be together. The so called six regions are a work of pure fiction. How can you tell the Ijaws of Ondo that they are in a SW region with Yorubas? How you tell the western Igbo, sometimes called Delta Igbos, that they are in a region with Binis? How can you tell the Igalas of Anambra and the Idomas of Enugu that they are in the SE? How can someone say that the Igbos of the lower Benue are in the NC when they have been fighting to join Enugu state for a long time? Or will you tell an Efik man that he is in the Niger-Delta with Ogoni? Who decides where who belongs? That is why there must be a referendum before the creation of any region so that the indigenous ethnic groups can decide for themselves where they want to belong. Creation of any region without a referendum is illegal and a complete nonsense.

I think every ethnic group/tribe can integrate within the regional government under their geographical settlement or we'll end up arguing on creating more than 36 regional government in this country

gidgiddy:
Naturally, most Southern Nigerians would want the 36 states collapsed into 'zones' or regions. The North will be against it because it will end their political domination of Nigeria. But as an Igbo man, what I'm sceptical against is what the zones will look like, particularly in the area sometimes called SS/SE. I want know what happens to Igbo elements such Igbos of the lower Benue, Delta Igbos, Rivers Igbos and the Abi Igbo speaking people of Cross River. I also want to know if the Efik/Ibibio nation and the Ijaw/Edoid people can actually be in one zone or are they going to be two separate zones or would they prefare to join their Igbo neigbours as one zone? These questions need answering and that is why a referendum has to be conducted before the creation of any zone so that the people can decide which zone they want to belong to.

this is not a matter of ethnicity but about regional government which we already have six geopolitical zones, with each having their own ethnic minority and can still be like that

anything you're doing with those people must be cash 'n' carry, once your money is in their hand you won't see them again, this is the reason why they're not good in business, can't be trusted.

and one op was here yesterday talking RU*ish, giving wrong statistics

MissMercedes:
Scroll through the thread, and you'll see the part where I stated I've been driving for 10 years.

OK continue practising, it'll master you, good luck

MissMercedes:
Happy Sunday folks,

I was wondering if I'm the only one that feels weird driving with shoes on. Not necessarily heels, but any form of footwear. I feel obstructed, like, I won't drive properly if I'm not barefooted. Am I the only one?

is because you're new on wheel, leave your shoes on soon you'll stop feeling obstructed

he is simply mentally unbalanced... anyway it's normal with people from that side

and what local raw material are you talking about? or you think raw materials are the trees and leaves you see inside the bush, even the industries you're talking about still need over 80% imported raw materials which can not be sourced locally

davodguy:
The change is so evident sir.

April, 2015 we're doing 2000+
April, 2016 we're doing 3000+

Nigeria also reached the all time high since 1960 in February, 2016

and no comment on the day of 0mw generated?

Progressive01:
Someone's about to have their ignorant ass scammed.

Do you guys remember Amaechi's story? Do you remember the "pledges" that were made with names written and signatures signed?? When the actual process of voting was carried out, what happened?

You know, back then since it was the era of cluelessness and lawlessness, and the era of voodoo arithmetic, PDP insisted Jang won the election after getting three votes less than Amaechi. Jang and his gang insisted on their own interpretation of the result relying on the fact that they have more names on the list of those who pledged to support them than they do on the ballot!!

In politics of this nature, nothing weighs less than a promise.

Learn fellas, learn!

With more news of this nature, I see a very frosty relationship brewing between Saraki and his deputy very soon.


Edit:

Isn't it sooooooooo funny how some people shouting "Biafra or death to Nigeria" on some thread just above this one are the same people shouting "Ekweremadu for Senate president"?? Is he going to be the Senate president of Biafra?

What a confused bunch of miscreants.

see painment.... hahahahaha

This coward that denied herdsmen that killing his people were Nigerians, he went to attraction investment? lies, he simply went their to have a lavished birthday party.

Is he in APC?

smallJagaban:
YET THEY WANT TO COMPETE WITH YORUBA

DEM NEVER BORN THEM WELLA TO COMPETE WITH YORUBA

silly, SE has more modest and beautiful cities than your yoruber, even the villages in SE looks wonderful, keep deceiving yourself with Lagos, a collective efforts and leaving other areas in SW dilapidating

smallJagaban:
SOUTH EAST N BACKWARDNESS ARE PARALLEL

silly, SE has more modest and beautiful cities than your yoruber, even the villages in SE looks wonderful, keep deceiving yourself with Lagos, a collective efforts and leaving other areas in SW dilapidating

Gbawe:
Entirely correct. I actually feel embarrassed for those from the SE obsessed with Tinubu, constantly wishing him harm and are always keen to point the finger of blame at him. Asiwaju has no time for them and continues to do his thing while remaining a mentor to politicians who want to succeed in the very murky and mercilessly treacherous water of Nigerian politics. Is Saraki a saint? Even if Tinubu is behind the travails of Saraki, can some emotional folks tell us whether Saraki did wrong or not?

Throughout the world, because politics is an arena of gladiators, politicians plot to bring down their enemies daily. That is a political fact mature and pragmatic folks accept. If you give your political opponents that you treacherously backstabbed 'ammunition' then why scream if they use it to nail you after you stepped out of line and arrogantly trod on powerful toes as if you are invincible? When Saraki was busy conducting a treacherous and deceitful election, while embarrassing his Party before the world, did people expect the APC to accept such an embarrassment that would only set an international precedence confirming the ruling Party as weak and impotent? It seems some emotional folks don't understand how politics is played ruthlessly around the world, to include even in the finest and oldest democracies, before they come here boring about Tinubu this and Asiwaju that. As if we do not know that the constant mention of Tinubu is the painful wailing of those envious of the man's political brilliance and ability.

why are you SEphobia? did the comment you're responding to induced SE in your comprehensive ability, and do you believe that the people that define the modest government you're enjoying today has not produced classic politicians, tinubu cannot even be compared to them. it's not abt embezzlement of state's fund to become powerful and above all gullible followers.

Omotaday:
He is one of the founding member of the party, ok but what power does it have to be the one to choose the senate president ? Why him? We have Atiku, Bisi Akande, Obj, Buhari in this same party.



i'm sorry for all the errors up there, I was typing too fast.

Is obj now in APC? with which party form

Omotaday:
Im an Ardent reader of this section. I have also been following the issue of Saraki. I need clarification on some issues. Why is everyone poiting accusing finger at Bola Tinubu? The Bola Tinubu i know is a formal governor of Lagos state and also a veteran politician, the last time i check he is not part of the federal executives, he is not a minister of justice, he is not the president of this country. Why then do people think he could have had the power to be punishing Saraki currently through the judiciary? Does he have the control over the FG and its arms? Why is everyone thinking he is behind Saraki case? Why is everyone blaming him for Saraki woes? Please i need reasonable clarifications.

are you new in this country and how things work? the truth you'll tell yourself is better than the one others will tell you.... ru*bish

Standing5:
Those cheast beating importers should be glad a man who can assist the FG with forex Dollar from where they can get Dollars to import toothpick is willing to assist.
Illiterates now helping 'literates'. Dangote, epp them.

so for your mind you think he's helping a particular section of the country? or you just want to insult some people who makes about your peanut monthly salary in an hour yet not brag abt it

And with this tell me how the economy will be growing and circulated when one person has monopolized the economy by the help of the government, horded all the dollars for forest through Emefile, CBN coward, as far as I am concerned and with the current policy, the economy will continue to be stagnant.

It's nothing, he should have put the head of the python inside his mouth... anyway this is the benefit of having thick forest across the sw

Ebukaobi:
Another Nonsense from an IPOB miscreant

This is the problem with descendants of Ojukwu, the bearded bald coward who abandoned his people when the Nigerian forces dealt with him ruthlessly

Are you aware that the UK still gives aid money to countries like China and India? I guess it is for obvious reasons?

They have done their research and have identified feasible projects to put resources. These projects have nothing to do with cocaine smuggling or kidnapping- Go figure

those States mentioned there has something in common, the EU know the criteria they used, hope now you understand almagiri boy?

I wondered if this man has some little faint of imbecility?

tobimillar:
Make them go, another airline will come

if advanced economies and developed nations started with this mentality, we won't be here praising them today for their achievement.

Is he still a governor, why he don't look like one?

mamaafrik:

enieme:
Ur only consoling urself.

How? I meant no harm, only disproving ur lies

asorocker:
How do you cause an industrial revolution with this, simply declare it as the official car of anambra state first then the entire south east and the entire east, grow the industry with patronage from the transport companies of which igbos control and and from the state, federal and local government.

Produce cars customised for the different states and regions of the country .
Produce cars that are heat resistant and can keep cool under extreme heat for the North and cars that are corrosion resistant and can withstand floods for the coastal states
Reach out to other states in the north and Lagos through very effective sales and marketing strategy.
Strategies on how to penetrate the neighboring countries, support the brand with reward for loyalty and very good after sales support.

telling him what he don't know already or rather have not started, I see envy here and there

enieme:
The same way u esterners keep travelling out of ur hometown to seek greener pasutures in the same sw ur belittling.?
Tell me how many Yorubas u find in enugu and I'll count for u how many igbos are in ibadan not to talk of Lagos.

there are so many of yorubas in Eastern cities and rural areas but they're mostly agbo sellers, tailors, yoruba food sellers and bricklayers as this opportunity is very immense considering ever growing number of mansions in the rural areas

This is what they always do along that Benin-Ore-Sagamu-Lagos road at nights, rubbing motors and passengers coming from East, thinking they have millions with them, some times you'll start running in the night without knowing exactly the direction you're running to after hearing their gun shots, in the morning they'll come out and tell the public that were armed rubbers. Thank God they didn't even kill the driver and his conductor!
