But PMB is tilted more in sympathy with his kin in Niger Republic, than to the suffering masses in Nigeria.
His actions show it.

#EndBadGovernance

Till the country is restructured or dismantled.

No messiah of a leader can ever emerge from Nigeria as presently structured and governed.

The day you shut off onshore and offshore crude oil exploitation, shut off Lagos wharves, the eaters in government shall bow out.

Biafra Genocide is the second global worse mass murder after the Nazi Holocaust.

Story of Biafra genocide was hidden by Gowon who presided over the Biafra Genocide.

Buhari profits from Biafra Genocide.

Karma has paid back Gowon badly, as he has lost his ancestral home to Buhari’s Fulani. Gowon can hardly sleep for a week in his ancestral home these days.
Gallant soldier without foresight.

PRESIDENT BUHARI SALUTES GENERAL GOWON AT 86, DESCRIBES HIM AS A GALLANT PATRIOT

President Muhammadu Buhari has described former military Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon as "a gallant patriot whose commitment to national unity is beyond comparison in the annals of our chequered history."

In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday to mark the occasion of his 86th birthday anniversary, President Buhari remarked that "the role General Yakubu Gowon played in our political history and infrastructure development is etched in stone and cannot be rewritten."
Buhari said "as young military officers, many of us regarded General Gowon as our role model because of his patriotism, commitment to unity and his humility."

According to the President, "the Nigerian civil war brought out the most brilliant qualities of General Gowon as a visionary leader who put the interest of Nigeria before his own personal interest."
He noted that "the former Head of State led a very impressive national reconciliation effort at the end of the civil war in order to heal the bitter emotional and psychological wounds of the fratricidal conflict."

President Buhari added that "General Gowon is one of the fairest leaders I have ever known who has inspired so many future leaders."

"Even in the context of Africa, many leaders in the continent draw inspiration from his adroit handling of the outcome of the civil war through his policy of ‘No Victor, No Vanquished,’" he further stated.

"As he marks 86 years of age, Nigerians cannot forget General Gowon's immeasurable contributions to the unity and development of Nigeria. May God continue to bless him with more good health and the needed strength in understanding his ongoing spiritual engagements and service to humanity," the President prayed.

Gowon and Buhari- two men who can hardly see beyond the nose.

The political system Gowon fought with loss of about 2.5 million people, to prevail is what Buhari is still fighting for to prevail, but more than 80% of Nigeria’s population are kicking against the political system today.

Unfortunately some of the tribal comments and hate I read in this forum by the youths is really heart breaking.

Nigerians are united on Twitter
Nigerians are united on Instagram and even Facebook and YouTube but the ones on Nairaland are just filled with tribal hate and religious fanaticism.

Bolded:

Perhaps when they write the reality that Northern soldiers supervised the creation of the present lopsided 36 states political structure of Nigeria, and supervised the constitution to legit the political structure, you see that as tribal comments.

Have you seen a country, except Nigeria, today whose political structure and constitution were created by soldiers from one side of the country?

Military dictators from northern Nigeria created Nigeria’s political structure and supervised Nigeria’s Constitution making.

Anyone who expects the status quo to remain far much longer must be living in the land of Sugar Candy Mountain.

Let the government now allow an INTERIM GOVERNMENT FORMED BY PEOPLE BELOW 40 YEARS to reform Nigeria’s political process.


Let equal number of people below 40 years of age be drawn from the 3 regions that formed Nigeria in 1960. Let them do a National Conference to fashion a way for all the regions to coexist in one Nigeria.

The SWISS FEDERATION type of agreement where three regions - German, French and Italian - sat down to agree on the type of government they want.

Switzerland is landlocked, has no mineral resources but one of the most prosperous countries in the world.
Peace is it for Switzerland.

No country without peace develops. Peace is not absence of war - as in Nigeria.

FALZ SENDS A STRONG MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT BUHARI AND STATE GOVERNORS ON #ENDSARSPROTEST

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5qslPe9_rw

The already murdered.

Will the murdered people come out to provide evidence before the panel?

The Panel is just another diversionary tactic to stop people from protesting for the most important political changes required in Nigeria.

Eriokanmi:
Waw! The revolution is really infectious. No going back. I had a chat with a retired airforce man yesterday who told me he had had over 60,000 hours flying experience. He said the militarily is just sitting on the fence to pretend they're not in support so they'd not see them as being partisan. He said his son who attended an FGC was paying five naira as tuition back in the days and he once flew to London ftom lagos for 200 naira. Now, we know what it is.

Nigeria is full of wolves and hyenas. It still baffling to note that Nigeria Airways as vibrant and futuristic as it was, the same people who have been in government since 1960 ran it down.
They sold our fortune and jobs to foreign airlines. Nigeria recently banned Emirates in retaliation of the visa ban on Nigerian citizens by UAE govt,
they lifted the visa ban sharpally after counting their losses with Emirates flight ban by Nigeria. No politician, past or present should be allowed to hijack or derail the cause. No going back we must take our country back in a violent free-way

They ran down our landline NITEL and gave us toys - mobile phones - for telecommunications. NITEL Digital exchanges were first built in little northern towns when many huge business cities in the south were left grappling with outmoded Analog telecom exchanges.

Oyibo can’t leave landline and go for mobile phone in very important communication.

Government thugs killed him.

R.I.P hero.

Instead of the armed forces, they have sent their ethnoreligious tugs to intimidate the protesters to bow out.


RIP man, you died fighting a worthy fight.


You are not like those who die fighting Boko Haram which is fighting for the same objectives with the sharia states - objective is a country to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.

Why not let the 12 sharia states have their own country of sharia criminal laws, instead of going to die fighting against Boko Haram? Is it by force that Nigeria must remain one country?

Gov Oyetola goofed when he said president has directed governors to probe SARS doings.

Who did not know that President established SARS for intimidation of people, especially in the south, to enable president carry out his ethnoreligious agenda in Nigeria?

Na so e de spread. They started with Ike Ekweremadu.


Who knows next?

Unarguably, people in cyberspace suggesting that Nigeria be restructured politically are spreading bad information as far as Buratai is concerned.

It’s time to see if Nigeria soldiers were trained to become ZOMBIES.

Ajo ro jaa ra joro.

One4me:
Mos of the Northerners among these SARS are the "Big Boss" who stay in the Offices and collect returns from their Southern errand Boyz.
They are as guilty as the killers they send out to kill and extort money from us.

Indoctrination that goes on in the armed forces could make a policeman or soldier kill even his father in the name of protecting the status quo in Nigeria.

Hopefully, with what has been happening, these
Police and soldiers shall understand that they were not doing the right thing.

CountryTireMan:
See Them... Our Fellow Southerners Killing Us....


How Can You Even Be Brutalizing Your Fellow Kinsmen.

This Country Really Tire Me

It’s their lack of good understanding of the political process of Nigeria.

Think of Goodluck Jonathan at the early time of his presidency when he said that Nigeria did not require any political restructuring.

These southern people in the armed forces don’t understand the political process of Nigeria tilted heavily to the advantages of Northern Nigeria after northern military dictators proliferated too many states and local government areas in the northern region.

The northern military dictators discounted the fact that 3 regions - north, west and east- formed Nigeria in 1960.
There should have been equal number of states in the 3 regions. Land mass or population is never used as criterion to create new political units in a country formed by different regions.

CountryTireMan:
See Them... Our Fellow Southerners Killing Us....


How Can You Even Be Brutalizing Your Fellow Kinsmen.

This Country Really Tire Me

The irony of Nigeria. Once southerners join the armed forces of Nigeria, they instantly become instruments to kill their dissenting southern Nigerians; they become instruments to safeguard the rigged political structure and useless governance system plaguing their southern regions.

But is this James Nwafor a ghost? Why can’t these people talking about him revenge?

Insecurity of Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen and Bandits resulted from adoption of Islamic Sharia criminal laws by 12 northern sharia states between 1999-2001.

Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen and Bandits are all gunning for Islamic Republic of Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia Criminal Laws.

If you are not a real son of the soil, you will never understand this.

#FREENORTHERNGROUPLEADERS NOW.

Irony: how could a government detain people who are protesting for security of lives and property in a country?

LibertyRep:
It's not in the place of anyone's who hasn't or perhaps wouldn't join the protest to castigate the protesters.

The 'Carnival' is part of those things that keep the morale high.


That's better than going violent.

Tell the poet.
It’s more than carnival when Europeans and Americans are in anti government protest.

Instead of siting down to articulate ways to effect change in the system through protest, he was writing bunkum.


He is the type that would tell those people feeling shortchanged by Nigeria’s political structure and governance system to take their grievances to the National Assembly.

Nigeria’s National Assembly is the most lopsided political assembly in the world.

Three regions formed Nigeria. After proliferation of 20 new states in the northern region, the northern region became over represented in the National Assembly. The Western and Eastern regions started to be under-represented in the National Assembly.

Call it whatever you like, most important thing is that they are on the road for a mission to change the political status quo in Nigeria.


If you had set foot in Europe or America to see the revel during anti government protests.

ThatFairGuy1:
The aim behind #EndSARS protest has been achieved or about to(if not), let's all throw our support behind these essential demands

This should be our concern NOW.



THE 7-POINT DEMANDS
Concerned Nigerian started this petition to Nigerian government and 1 other
We recognize that this moment is the culmination of decades of dissatisfaction over the decay and corruption of our dear country, Nigeria.
We find the unhealthy haste to fashion a unit termed “SWAT” to be a misrepresentation of the 5for5 demand. It is not enough.
This protest is beyond #EndSARS, #EndSWAT, #EndPoliceBrutality. This movement is for the soul of Nigeria. We are demanding a systemic overhaul of governance and institutional reforms as the barest minimum. We are better than what obtains presently; we demand progress.
We are not vain agitators. We are clear-eyed youths and professionals in our respective fields who are tired of the way and manner our dear country has been run aground by successive administrations. We cannot idly stand by whilst our future and that of our children are mortgaged.
Below is the updated 7-point demand that concerned citizens are asking from the government.
1. INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS (SECURITY)
That the 5-point demand to release arrested protesters, compensate families of victims, investigate and prosecute all reports of misconduct, proscribe SARS and review the welfare of police be implemented immediately.
However, we believe the systemic rot in the police is widespread across Government institutions. Therefore, we urgently demand an immediate Institutional reform across all federal government institutions, agencies and parastatals, especially focused on national security.
Focus will be on improved welfare and terms of service for the police, military and all law enforcement agencies, provide body worn cameras for operation, refurbished housing, health, academic and pre- and post-retirement life insurance policy for the rank-and-file personnel.
Also reforms on adherence to the laws guiding discipline and prosecution of erring service men this should be aimed at extinguishing all notions of impunity.
2) COST OF GOVERNANCE
We have watched over the years the waste associated with governing Nigeria. We have noted the duplication and unprofessionalism in the civil service and across all strata.
We demand an urgent budgetary framework with 50% capital expenditure and 50% recurrent expenditure in all appropriation bill.
We demand a drastic reduction in the cost of governance. We also demand that the national assembly, be first by streamlined into a unicameral legislative and be further stripped down to become a part time job.
The huge salaries and benefits accorded them by the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) should be reduced to the barest minimum.
3) CONSTITUTION REFORMS
There had been several constitutional reviews where youths were obviously absent. Whether by omission or commission or both, the time has come for an informed and progressive participation by the youths.
The Nigerian constitution as it exists presently does not serve all Nigerians. A more robust and engaged constitution designed and approved by all Nigerians will serve the nation.
We demand an urgent referendum within 90 days to begin the line-by-line review, reconstruction and upgrade of the extant constitution to be more functional for a 21st Century nation. The selection process for this referendum will have 50% young people under 60 nominated by their peers in a transparent, judicious and fair process.
We demand that credence be given to terms of citizenship over indigeneship and state of residence over state of origin.
4) EDUCATION REFORMS
· One in every five of the world's out-of-school children is a Nigerian child. About 13.2 million Nigerian children aged 5-14 years are not in school. The impact of this numbers will be felt for generations.
· We demand that a state of emergency is declared in the education sector and demand increase in the budgetary allocation to educational sector by 50% and to double again within the next 24 months. This funds will be used to drive the education sector to provide affordable quality education to all citizens.
· A certain percentage of this allocation should be devoted to granting scholarship to outstanding Nigerians without recourse to the tribe, religious or sex.
· We demand a systemic overhaul in our curriculum and method of teaching to upgrade to a digital experience.
· We demand that teachers should be incentivized to attract the best brains and should be standardized and professionalized.
· We demand that the parent of any child not in primary school will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
· We demand that there be an Annual independent external Audit of Fund allocation and project execution: from Government approval to disbursement across the ministry, which would further be used to publish at least an abridged Financial statement available digitally to ensure transparency.
5) HEALTH REFORMS
· We demand that a state of emergency is declared in the health sector and demand increase in the budgetary allocation to health sector by 50%
· We demand mandatory health insurance for the vulnerable population in our society as NHIS is not doing enough to serve all Nigerians.
· We demand that adequate provision be put in place to protect the rights and privileges of physically challenged citizens in Nigeria.
· We demand urgent attention to mental health and a fund to set aside to create more professionals.
· We demand proper implementation of the National Health Act of 2014, including the Basic Health Care Provision Fund).
· We demand that there be an Annual independent external Audit of Fund allocation and project execution: from Government approval to disbursement across the ministry, which would further be used to publish at least an abridged Financial statement available digitally to ensure transparency.
6) YOUTH AFFAIRS REFORM
We have noted the giant strides made by Gen Z and Millennials across the globe. Many multi-billion corporations where founded by both generations. In Nigeria, it is extremely difficult for such to occur. The enabling environment viz-a-viz investors and lenders confidence, stable interest rate and manageable inflation are deficit in our dear nation.
· We demand that a state of emergency be declared in the ministry of Youths and Sports, Ministry of Science and Technology and Ministry of National Planning. We demand that this should be adequately funded, sports academy should be revamped.
· We demand the creation of the Youth development funds dedicated to growing the creative industries and agriculture.
· We demand the creation of the Youth development funds dedicated to growing the creative industries and agriculture.
· We demand that the Not-Too-Young to run bill should be expanded to include–50% inclusion of youth under 40 in every cabinet in government.
· We demand that the youth inclusion be monitored by the FCC as they currently monitor state inclusion and the NCDMB and other stakeholders partake in this action to protect our future.
7) PUBLIC OFFICE REFORMS
· We demand code of conduct reforms for all elected public office holders to have themselves and their children use public schools and public hospitals ONLY. Violation of which is immediate impeachment and recall.
· We demand immediate removal of immunity clause from public office holders to make them answerable to investigations at all times when and where necessary.
· We demand immediate resignation of every public officer found guilty of any forms of crimes and corruption they should step aside during investigation also.
· Implementation of full digitization of the judicial process, prison decongestion reforms, with reforms drawn from past projects like the Uwais Report, Keyamo’s ministerial screening address, strict time limits to determination of industries litigations, etc.

In political restructuring, if equal number of representatives are picked from the 36 States + Abuja to the conference, we are likely to get back to the political structure we already have, perhaps with tiny cosmetics changes.

Having equal number of representatives from the 3 regions that formed Nigeria at independence to the political restructuring conference should be the right thing to do.

Aged men leading and torturing younger generations of Nigeria.

They lead owing to the rigged and lopsided political structure of Nigeria created by northern military dictators.

At every presidential election, the Fulani must select beforehand who shall become next president, then present the candidate to the voters for formalization.

False democracy in Nigeria. #ENDNIGERIA
