If Nigeria breaks up today, the losers will definitely be the North East and the South East. The south East neighbors don’t even trust or love them back. The two regions add very little to the Nigeria Economy

The solutions can be this:

NIGER DELTA MILLITANTS: ground the economy by resuming destruction of pipelines a nd demand for restructuring before any election

SOUTHERNERS AND MIDDLEBELT: Governors of the states should hold meetings every month and speak with one voice. They should Create ranches in their various states and let indigenes only rare cow in the then while enforcing anti open gracing policy. This will put the tyrants out of business.

Religious and opinion leaders should continue to speak against this ill.

It is Benue, Taraba, today, it may be bayelsa, Oyo or Enugu tomorrow if care is not taken

Men of courage are remembered from generation to generations. The timid is already forgotten

GMBuhari:
I don't get it, Buhari is appointing those he trusts why is that a problem? You simply believe that by having Northerners head posts in Nigeria it means there will be bias and that's the general problem with you people


When Jonathan filled his cabinets and appointment with his brothers nobody complained of islamization

Why won’t Trump call Nigeria shit hole when the country is filled with people like you.

Keep comparing failure with failure and expect progress. Deluded slowpoke

vertueptime:
He. Got d job , I remember when gen appointed labaran maku as......

A failure always compare himself with a failure. He looks in the mirror, smile and says “ that man is more of a failure than me”

And the office of the president is not classified, abi?

Pls remind me when Barrack Obama denounced his Kenyan citizenship thereby having undivided loyalty.

Had Ahmed Abubakar ever worked with NIA in top ranking position even prior to the coming of Bubu?

No. President Obama is not a Kenyan citizen. It's somewhat complicated, but here are the basic facts

Since President Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, he is an American citizen by birth. When Obama was born in 1961, Kenya was not a sovereign state but a British overseas possession. Because Obama's father was a citizen of a British colony, Obama had dual American-British colonial citizenship at birth. When Britain granted Kenya its independence in 1963, Obama lost his British colonial citizenship. Technically, he then became a dual citizen of the US and Kenya but he automatically lost his Kenyan citizenship in 1984 when he turned 23. At the time, Kenyan law did not allow adults to hold dual citizenship, and Obama could have kept his Kenyan citizenship only by renouncing his American citizenship and swearing an oath of allegiance to Kenya. He did not do so. Under current Kenyan law, he could apply for and receive Kenyan citizenship because of his late father's citizenship, but I suspect the probability of that happening is pretty low.

If more Nigerians shift their focus from sex to more productive ventures, this country would be a better place.

Not until Nigerian Ladies shift their focus from dressing provocatively and deliberately twisting their backside.

The 4th world country led by men that lack ideas. Old and tired men that should be resting

Dear Ortom,

Can you prevent flood from eroding a community by fencing it off? No. Because the flood might get fierce and break down the fence. So You create viable channel or alternative for the flood to pass without affecting your community.
That is the analogy.
The governor ought to be smart enough to provide sustainable alternative for the herdsmen in term of ranching.

Bring in investors that will build standard ranches that guarantees enough water, food, security and treatment for the the cows.

Then woo the Influential associations of the cattle rearers to see reasons why the built ranches will guarantee much more productivity and security for their lives and their cows.

Continue to work with the various associations of both farmers and herders by having meeting with them at least every month.

Secure the state boundaries by conducting aerial surveillance by adequately equipping the state police with necessary apparatus.

Form the state vigilante group that works closely with the police. This vigilante group should be well trained home and abroad

Continue to lobby the federal government to strengthen the border security across northern Nigeria.

There is a little secret the core Northern oligarchy does not want the rest of the country to know since the days of Ahmadu Bello. The unity of the southern Nigeria and the middle belt will make them to be in the position of minority politically in a democratic setting. So they tactically employ the destructive instrument of divide and rule. Let us Be wise, be humble, be smart, forget the past and come together

Where is 2face, wiz kid and Davido

Where is 2dace

You guys are all paid to tear southwest apart along religious line. God will judge you all. Just for political reasons. It cannot work.

Every society merits the kind of leaders they have. The Igbo youths should have a new thinking. Shun politicians than wet their appetite with sentiments, ethnicity dominated views. They always turn around and betray them without no regret.

Divide and rule! Simple common sense. Instead of you people to ignore Garba Shehu,you are fighting over who is more populated. The day you people take up arms against yourself, they will laugh, wine and dine over your stupidity.

Let’s discuss the challenges and root cause then solutions.

CAUSES:

Climate change: this is making the herdsmen move down south In search of greener pasture and water.

Population Explosion in Northern Nigeria: The fight for scarce resources by both man and the cow gets worse with alarming but untamed increase in the population of both the people and the cow.

Activities of Boko Haram: This has rendered large chunk of land in the North East no go area for the herdsmen for security reasons.

Cross-border Insecurity: Nigeria’s border especially in Northern Nigeria is so porous. This need to be water tight. Government should see how other countries are tackling Cross border infiltration.

Farming Activities along the Age long normadic path of the herdsmen: it’s just like building a house on a road. The Tiv and some others can be fingered in this, because of their style of farming. They practice normadic kind of farming.

Government negligence and Bias and lack of foresight: the government needs to take Kenya as a case study and see how their government get involve.

Multiplicity effect of the above mentioned: the bad blood continues unabated.

Let’s pray we don’t have another BH at hand.

Prevention is better than cure.

ImperialYoruba:
Where can I buy material for this Ibo cloth the men wore here?

Are u planning to make a nice upholstery?

EternalTruths:
Nigeria as a whole can't be fixed.

You and your Ethnic group can fix yourselves but not Nigeria as a whole.

That is why I belief Ethnic Groups like the Igbos should band together and workout their solutions rather than wait for the whole country.


The Igbos should find a system that can sustain them outside Abuja influence.



It is easier for 4 ethnic groups to come to an agreement than 250 ethnic groups.

Do you think it is only the Hausa Fulani people that oppose resource control.?

Don't you know that Yorubas and many Christian ethnic groups up North also oppose Resource Control.

How can Nigeria grow when most ethnic groups don't have faith outside SS/SE oil & gas.

There is more crude oil in SW than SE

Uchek:
AWESOME COMMENT! I don't blame Buhari. Blame the Yorubas leadership who are enabling him. Blame Tinubu, Osibanjo, Fashola who shouted true federalism, resource control and state police when they were in opposition but have gotten power, rather than impose this solutions on Buhari and his cabals or abandon the administration are contented with crumbs of political appointment which will only last but for a season.

What a myopic use of political power!

When people prefer to wail till Jesus come, rather than focus on coming together with others to find solution

Politics have started. That must be a propaganda from the oza party

Politics have started. That must be a propaganda from PDP

futurism:
You only ended up proofing one thing: Yorubas have no balls to challenge the status quo. They have no courage chart a new course, They don't have the faith in trying something new by another approach...

Insanity is doing same thing over and over again and expecting a different result--unknown.

Yorubas are NOTHING but the mole in the south as far as the future of this country is concerned. The day yoruba will decide to challenge the Status quo, challenge the North... is the day this country will move forward and the North put where they belong.

This is the typical mindset of every Igbo man. They know the west will have to lead the challenge of the Northern Oligarchy, but they are too selfish to support them, too arrongant and boastful to let them see reason in a civil way.

What am saying is, until they change their style of approach, the domination they so much loathe, will continue unabated

I know from day one of this fuel scarcity that it is a conspiracy agenda of the federal government with the oil marketers to increase the price of fuel. There was no reason per say for fuel scarcity in the first instance. They just had to make it happen to make the increase the acceptable to Nigeria.

Anytime a terrible scandal rocks this administration, they always have a cooked up, fictitious, unverifiable good news to dish out. It is called damage control or check mating in politics. Nigerians, wise up! When buhari massaged the ego of the south west this morning in his broadcast, it is called Major Political Point (MPP). It must be scored at a strategic time like this.

Wike is weak. In Nigeria, dialogue tone falls on deaf ears. You are suppose to be resolute and stand by sayin, the 1 billion dollars should be granted for the purpose of fighting insurgency only when the government commence real job on the ogoni cleanup. The militants are watching.

Igbo people are strong willed, hardworking , adventurous people that always have their eyes only on success, yes financial success. But why are they not successful politically in Nigeria? I believe they need to first of all neglect their past ordeals and focus squarely on the future. Independence and slavery starts from the mind. They must come together has one and see themselves as a country in a country. They need to tell themselves; let’s work and sweat together as if we are a country- a country without no crude oil resources. Let us develop an enviable culture, of humility, respect for the elders and one another and being our brother’s keeper. Let our children speak and bear Igbo names. Let us build a great headquarter that will rival Abuja or Lagos in the next 20years by charging our governors to collectively contribute towards this. The governors should collectively raise fund to build a dry sea port instead of waiting forever on the federal government to help. Let us shun all act of hatred. We need the West and other neighbors to realize our dream. Let us love them. Be happy about their own progress and be sober during their grievance. They will love us us too in return. That way, they will support us and rally round us also. Don’t forget, a tree can never make a forest. Let us speak the truth at all time, regardless of whose axe is to be grounded.
