Honestly Nigeria hasn't had any great presidents. But OBJ was the best in my estimation.
PoliticsRe: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by MrMaestro: 6:37am On Apr 24, 2017
I agree. We need to create better leaders that can compete for office. First and foremost though we need to start doubling down on our language in the region. It's eroding in the younger generation.

The land in which the marketwas situated has been a subject of litigation for several years. The party that just won the right to ownership decided to take possession immediately after he court judgement.

I truly believe in Yoruba common wealth but the so called leaders have gone the Nigeria's way i.e corruption and self centeredness. I so much wish they indeed understood the purpose of the great Legend in the person of late Chief Obafemi awolowo and his expectations. Perhaps we would have been far from the stagnant position we found ourselves today. God bless The YORUBA Race.
I agree. He was a visionary. There are some people who are trying to push us forward though. Ambode is the only one with a passion for Yoruba greatness and greatness now.

I just cant stop being grateful to God Almighty, for creating me AS YORUBA. Every other thing about Yoruba is always about doing the unthinkable. whatever, is the cause in Yoruba's cell which always inspire us to set a new record is golden to BEHOLD. Once again, another Yoruba man , Demola, the pilot, has done us proud by also flying around the world in a solo effort. God bless him for setting this record. There are more coming. Yoruba Race is BLESSED FOREVER.

PoliticsRe: How Integration Can Transform Igboland Into An African Economic Hub by MrMaestro: 4:28am On Apr 24, 2017
thedragon:
I support this idea at first glance although I have 2 issues:

1) I don't see why North Africans should rule anything as a Kingdom. The Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses Y haplogroup is eb1b1a, which originates and is found in the highest percentages in West African tribes (Yoruba and some others). The same British Medical Journal data that the Egyptian Hawass published is available on the JAMA network, and DNA tribes.com analyzed King Tut genes with it. He matches 96% black African DNA of Southern, Western, Central, Great Lake Bantu (Kenyan), and Nilotic (Nubian). All this means that the Arabs who live in Egypt are conquerors and thieves of black Africans lands, history and treasures. Why should thieves be given a kingdom? They deserve a jail cell or worse.

2) The problem with kingdoms is centralization of power. LWhile I like your idea, there will have to be decentralization as local people know their issues best and how to deal with them. Politicians also should not the richest men in Africa or Nigeria. Businessman and engineers should. Anti corruption, patriotic devotion to serve the people and the like should be part of the state and politicians who foul this maxim should be punished. That aside I don't know why Central Africa must be separate to West Africa. Central Africans are not so different than West Africans, although I guess controlling them and West Africa in one kingdom would be too hard a task. Maybe the Central Africans have their own little tribal spats, but there must be a unification and patriotrization of West African tribes like the Romans did to European tribes (whose unity led to your colonization and their enrichment at your expense).

PoliticsRe: For Or Against Nigeria's Possible Division? by MrMaestro: 12:45am On Apr 24, 2017
wirinet:
I have said it again and again, I do not see how breaking up the country would solve any of the problems that beset Nigeria. In fact it will exasperate and maginify the problems. How many pieces do you want to break up the country; 2 pieces - north and south, 3 pieces according to the old regions, 36 pieces according to the present state structure, or over 259 pieces according to the estimated number of tribes in Nigeria. When you open the Pandora box of division, no one can predict where it will stop.
I agree 1000%

As a black foreigner from the West, I dont think separating this one Igbo tribe from their Nigerian brothers and balkanizing Nigeria is what is best. There a no ethnic differences between Igbo and Yoruba, just imaginary foibles and stupid squabbles like the Japanese once had when they were warring Japanese tribal factions. Today the Japanese are one and invisible, not warlording tribes fighting over Japan. Nigeria must be like this too and overcome tribalism as the East Asians have.
There's not what is stated here I don't think. It's more development. Which everyone should be glad to see.

Kemperor:
So how do u intend to solve the problem of tribalism that has paralyzed the country since the amalgamation in 1914?

If tribalism is the virus that is eating Nigeria just as you claimed then why is the North in poverty knowing fully well that they have produced over 85% of Nigeria leaders..

Mr. the country has no foundation and will never have...

No vision but mission to exploit other regions and the masses....

Don't know if you are a Christian and I asked because the Bible says in Amos 3:3:
Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?

Nigeria has no foundation and can never work!!!!!!!
Brother, there are thousands of tribes on the continent. You can divide every country until your heart is content, there will still be multiple tribes. It is in our blood. Any seceding country from Nigeria will still have 4+ tribes. So dividing isn't a solution, it only takes you back to square 1.

And the country is working for many people. There are many actors, business men, musicians, app creators, and others who are making a fortune in Nigeria and are VERY successful. So don't speak for everyone. It is not perfect by any means but it is working for many people.

I'm not igbo, I'm Yoruba, but I always love to see progress being made by Nigerians. I wish this project the best! Also, have you all thought about having an "Igbo Politics and Commonwealth" thread to talk about all things related to this? I noticed a yoruba one the other day and didn't know if there was an igbo one as well.

70% of Nigerians know they have NOT made a mistake.
Nigerians know the problem of Nigeria is CORRUPTION.
Buhari is the only member of the elite class who has called it out and is tackling it . Before now it was the lot of social crusaders and activists.
Now you are having 'adult governance' where corporate citizens like MTN and Shell are compelled to face the law.

Who els could have shown the guts to take hard decisions like this?... Atiku?, El Rufai?, Jonathan?
None.
All of the options were bad. But that doesn't change the fact that Buhari has no business running a 21st century country.

Well, we cannot be too pessimistic. Thank God for the social media which has faciliated better interraction.
Many educated core-northernerns are now beginning to see the reason why they must improve western education and alleviate poverty in their states. It is gradually growing.

What i think is happening is a cultural fusion. For instance, my own region of the north used to be very culturally different from the South too, but now the cultural gap is closing because the Southernerns who control the media and the economy are seriously influencing us, by the next generation and as urbanization increases, we would be almost culturally the same as the South. (Although this was probably easier because we have large christian populations and most of our muslims are moderate muslims compared to those in the core-north).
If you compare the adult literacy and youth literacy rates of core-northern Nigeria, you will see some improvement. Many northernerns are also migrating to the south and changing their views. The process will take decades, but it will surely happen.
Well God bless you and I hope it happens sooner rather than later. Because the way things are going now, we won't make it to decades in the future

South Africa generates more than 40,000 MW of electricity with a population of about 80 million people and your beloved Nigeria with her acclaimed population of more than 170 million people can't generate 4,000 MW.Isn't it a pure case of uselessness and stupidity?
Mr man,whether you like it or not,Nigeria remains a useless country both to her citizens and the world at large.

So why is Nigeria still undeveloped.huh

Singapore and Malaysia loaned money from Nigeria during the oil boom in the 1970's... Presently, this countries are developed.. Meanwhile Nigeria still beg for foreign aids...

Apart from Lagos and Abuja can you name another city in Nigeria.. huh

For over 50 years no sign of tangible development...

For over 100 years no sign on tribal peace...

Thanks to social media we all no about the disunity in Nigeria...

OP stop fooling yourself and still I won't blame you because you need money in this recession and that's why you accepted a job to blog about things like this..

Nations break up and nations join forces to become one.... So No big deal...

It is not as if Nigeria like Biafrans, they just like what they exploit...

I lived in the north for some years and I witnessed the hatred the hausas have for Igbo people.. That why they kill them for stupid reasons..

When it comes to politics, region, language, looks, behaviour, culture, vision, etc, the differences are irreconcilable ...

Knowing fully well that Nigeria can never be one, the Northerners introduced NYSC... Many people have lost their in the North all for the stupid politics called NYSC..

So OP why do u want One Nigeria, because of your stupid reasonshuh?
First and foremost, Nigeria has some of the most developed highways and roadways in all of Africa. That's just a fact.

But I'll tell you why we are still struggling to realize our potential, because we are tribal, and haven't gotten over being tribal. We vote due to tribality, we act due to tribality, and we elected presidents with no sense. Buhari was elected. No disrespect to him, but he's a uneducated buffoon that has absolutely no business running a 21st century country. Yet when I brought up the need to elect educated and smart leaders, people argued against that saying education is not relevant for presidency. The people. It all starts with the people.

Look if you as a people cannot crate and elect leaders to lead Nigeria forward now. You are idiotic to think you can do so simply by changing the name of a land mass. The same people that voted for the poor and corruptible leaders in each of the geopolitical zones, are the same people that will vote for the new leaders in their countries. If their decision-making on who are better leaders and who are not haven't changed, then what the heck would be the difference?

Come clean and tell us what you are corruptly reaping from the cesspit and stop pretending that your fight for nigeria's survival is a 'moral duty' while you deodorize it with empty intellectualisms. You are a probably a theiving a politician or an aspiring who wants a piece of the carcass. So spare us your sermons.

Biafran and other countries that will emerge provide an alternative from the corupt-ridden Nigeria that WILL NEVER WORK.

It's a good reason why corrupt politicians are scared of it. They know they'll have NO stake in Biafra and many will run away with their children even Biafra emerges, so when you lots ask why Eastern leaders don't support Biafra, I laugh at your cluelessness.

I'm sure you were part of the clueless one praying to Allah that kanu compromises and sells out Biafrans the way corrupt Eastern eaders have been doing.

Can you before God and man tell us that KANU is corrupt like your typical nigerian. I await your response to this. grin
