....that can Destabilize the country —- according to ACF.


Abeg, Yoruba, make una no destabilize Nigeria for Arewa ooo! Lool.
Arewa is the only profiteers from one Nigeria.

kayjay69:
To restructure Nigeria, 2/3 of the national house of assembly needs to approve.
The present composition of Nigeria per geopolitical zones are:
North West - 7 states
North Central - 6 states
North East - 6 states
South West - 6 states
South East - 5 states
South South - 6 states
Each state has 3 senators and 10 house of rep members
FCT - has 1 senator and 2 house of rep members
So a total of 110 senators and 362 house of rep members

2/3 means 74 senators and 242 house of rep members.
For this to happen, the southern geopolitical zones need to be 100% united and get help from some North Central (a.k.a Middle Belt) states.

Theoretically, it can happen. Practically, it is almost impossible mostly due to politics. These National Assembly Members know if they vote to restructure, that is the end of their largesse hence their absolute commitment to One Nigeria. They are not revolutionaries, they love, enjoy and benefit from the status quo, they want things to remain as they are. In addition, those of a Northern Extraction, as a matter of survival, will never vote to restructure.

So Garba Shehu knows exactly what he is doing when he is telling agitators to goto the National Assembly. I do not see a peaceful resolution to restructuring or splitting Nigeria which is why I will continue to state, the Southern region (especially my region the Southwest) needs be ready for any type of scenario.

Si vis pacem, para bellum - if you want peace, prepare for war.

In bold above is where you nailed it.

Most of the northern legislators will never vote for political restructuring.

States were proliferated in the old northern region by northern military dictators. That gave rise to lopsided political representation favoring north greatly.

Garba Shehu is taking the people asking for political restructuring for a ride.


Political restructuring is usually done in a National Conference, whatever the conference recommends is put into law by the National Assembly.

Garba Shehu, you are cultivating Arewa Republic.

National Assembly can’t restructure Nigeria politically, because National Assembly is overpopulated by Arewa Reps due to the excess number of states created by Arewa soldiers in Arewa area.

Corporate Vision for Nigeria - according to Gov Makinde.

Dogon Turenchi. Who knows what this corporate vision for Nigeria is and what is the focus?

All these EATERS of People’s commonwealth in dysfunctional Nigeria now mesmerize us with empty statements. After 100 years of Corporate Vision but no well-being for Nigerians —— you people must decide for a way out from the dark tunnel.

[color=royalblue]Whether Sunday likes it or not, the Fulanis are free to live anywhere they want. The same goes for an Igbo, Yoruba or any other tribe

You can't just wake up one morning and threaten a whole community.

If you feel aggrieved, join Nnamdi Kanu's WhatsApp group. But as long as Nigeria exists, anybody is free to live anywhere[/color]

Funny listening to clowns who don’t understand that no one has the right to ask any citizens of the same country to not live on any part of the country, yet the clowns can’t ask for total independence for their territory they want to protect from others.

NwaforIgbo:
Maybe I should add "especially when there is limited resources"..

Imo state cannot develop Owerri and Orlu at the same pace.. You need to get that into your stupid skull.... We no rich reach that level!

How many people live in Orlu for example? How many people do business in Orlu.. Orlu is just a developing area for now that cannot contribute to the GDP of Imo State.... Is it not wise to invest in the cash-cow so that it will produce more resources for the rest of the cow?

Abia will make more money concentrating development effort in Aba than Umahia.. Its not about being emotional, its about knowing a profitable venture and maximizing its profit.....

The bolded doesn’t seem to come from a sane person.
Roman Empire would have crumbled on arrival if the emperors concentrated first on developing Rome at a faster pace than London, Naples, Madrid, etc.
How can a sane person tell, say Delta State government, to develop only Asaba at faster pace but let Warri, Agbor, Sapele wait? Or tell Nnewi, Onitsha to wait until Awka is fully developed faster by government? Nearly every development you find in Asaba, for example, has a replica in Warri.
There’s nothing man can’t hear from these Owerri things and people in Imo state.
Anyhow, God butters Owerri bread with governors who hardly understood their left from their right since 2007, as one was planting flowers in Owerri, the other said he was building Owerri mega city; mega city without public water supply system.

Nobody can yet see the direction of the present governor.

Chlostrophobia Ndibe never see something. You say too much population is your reason against restoration of Biafra; enjoy in Sambisa forest.

NwaforIgbo:
From the bolded, I deduce that you are clanish, tribalistic, ethnocentric and primitive....

Acting and behaving like a savage.. Owerri is the capital of Imo state, and it deserves the attention tis getting...

There is a reaon why they make a part of a state the capital, a reason illitrates and clanish people like you will never understand.

Deveopment is best achieved concentrated than diffused.

If development is best concentrated in a place and wait to spread, Owerri would remain a village today waiting for Lagos to expand and absorb Owerri as one city.

But who is this writing like a foolish militant?

Lol.

Yoruba highest political leader today was a drug dealer in America. He paid huge amounts of Dollars to the US government in exchange for court trial.

Yoruba has the largest number of drug dealers in Nigeria. Conduit NDLEA for clarity.

If this man were to be a Yoruba, this story can’t find itself on Nigeria’s meesmedia.

Lol.

Prior to US election, some clowns were all over the social media praying for Trump's victory over Biden on the ground that Biden and Barrack Obama share same mission. And such missions were remotely linked to Buhari's mission in Nigeria.

Few days after the election which favoured Biden, same unstable clowns made a very sharp U-turn throwing all manners of insult at Trump and likening same Trump to Buhari.

With this congratulatory message from Buhari, I have no doubt same unstable crude beings will now automatically be the ones that "voted" Biden against Buhari's wishes and therefore Buhari has no gut to congratulate.

I mean those same beings who had "championed" the election of Trump.

Every one has a choice, it’s only a true clown who wouldn’t recognize that.

CSTRR:
In other countries, before a governor or mayor can spend 1naira, the legislators would have to deliberate, debate and decide to approve or cancel.

Corruption and misappropriation is kept at a minimum.

In Nigeria, a governor can just be moving on the street, he would see an ashawo and give her100 million at the twinkle of an eye.

No oversight.

Legislators in Nigeria are stooges of the executive, if not, how could governor Wike make the donation on behalf of Rivers state without legislative approval?

The Wikes were expected to change the bad things that happen in Nigeria’s political process, but here he goes.

Southern Nigeria is begging Arewa for presidency to come to the south after PMB.

Wike is begging Arewa to make him become VP to Tambuwal as successor to PMB.

Governors from the Southern states, please insist that the fraudulent political structure which makes you southerners to become beggars be restructured.

The Middle belt which now sides the south for restructuring shall abandon the south if a northerner succeeds PMB.

BastardWike:
One of our biggest problems as Igbos is primitive clannishness. We are too individualistic to the extent that we don't identify with good things or common good except it is done particularly for our clan, that's crab mentality!

This noise about Owerri-centric whatever is nothing but bul.shit raised to power 10. Owerri is Imo State's capital and largest city. If someone from Abia state should complain that their governors are focusing on Umuahia and neglecting Aba, he would have a big point because Aba is state's economic, commercial and industrial centre, Aba is the proverbial goose that lays the golden egg and same applies to Onitsha in Anambra state. States like Abia, Delta and Anambra are different from states like Imo, Rivers, Cross River, Enugu or Ebonyi etc.

You don't understand economics and how to make optimal use of scarce resources. If the state government should start developing every town in Imo State at the same time, the state will go bankrupt yet everywhere will still be mediocre. The state won't be able to attract foreign or even local investors because nowhere is decent enough for them to stay. I'm not saying other places should be completely neglected, no government should provide basic amenities like roads and pipe borne water, but the focus must be on Owerri because we don't have any other options. If you like, sink all our allocations on Orlu, it won't bring any tangible outcome for the entire state but if Owerri is developed, the impact will reach the entire state.

You claim there are ghettos around Naze, Egbu and other suburbs of Owerri but that's a big lie. Where is the ghetto located at Naze? Where is the ghetto located at Egbu? These are suburbs and Owerri don't have ghettos like we see in other cities.

The growth of Owerri is even private sector driven because there is nothing extraordinary the state government is doing here that is not being done in Orlu yet people keep envying Owerri for no good reason.

What is Wike doing in Rivers State outside P.H despite being a rich state? What is Cross River State government doing in Cross River outside Calabar? Ebonyi nko? Now, let me even tell you something, towns and cities in Nigeria outside the state capitals grow based on their own strength and willingness/capacity of locals. A good example is Nnewi. Anambra state did nothing for them yet the city has become a force to reckon with based on their indigenes who chose to invest at home. They didn't go about crying and lamenting like some of you from Orlu are doing, waiting for a government that can't even pay salaries to change their fortunes. Imo state government have done far more for Orlu than Anambra state government did for Nnewi and that's a fact! You will cry and lament forever and Orlu will still be where it is if you fail to do your homework. Orlu people are known to have dominated a lucrative sector in Nigeria like drugs. The state government has supported by building the biggest market in Imo State in Orlu, now what is stopping Orlu people from making their town the hub of pharmaceuticals in Nigeria like Nnewi made their own town the hub of vehicles and spare parts in Nigeria? Start siting your pharmaceutical factories and Warehouses in Orlu for a start, that is the smart thing you should be advocating for instead of crying that Owerri is developing instead of Orlu.

Gosh, you all should stop this crab mentality in this 2021, please!!

Primitive greed over your harlotry business in Owerri is what drives you with multiple monikers to posit that only Owerri deserves to have modern institutions of government that bring development and modernity wherever located.
Look yourself in the mirror; you are sick, if not, no normal person would devote all these time on one subject: let Owerri consume the other urban centres it started Imo state with.
No reasonable person from Owerri would campaign for migration of most of the people in Imo state into Owerri - that’s the implication of your campaign.

If it were in Imo state, governors from Orlu senatorial district must build this in Owerri, the state capital, or never.

BastardWike:
Stop this bile and envy against your state capital, Owerri is not competing with Orlu. I have told you what to do if you truly love Orlu and stop being a cry cry baby.

You have a worse bile against the headquarters of your senatorial district because of your dirty business in Owerri.
This bile against your senatorial district headquarters is what has made the whole of the senatorial district remain rural - underdeveloped.
Development flows from urban to rural areas- never the other way round. So long, Orlu, the headquarters of the senatorial district remains unattended to, so long the other local government areas in the district remain abandoned villages.

Policeman, look at yourself in the mirror: they gave you government weapon in order to protect civilians, you rather use the weapon to terrorize and even kill innocent civilians; you are worse than a chimpanzee in the jungle; tell yourself - I am a disgrace to human race. Human race in any country can’t make it if policemen behave like you do.

Motorists, begin to run over these policemen on checkpoints.


They are not at the checkpoints to protect civilians, but to extort money from civilians.

By the time running them over with vehicles occur many times, they will learn lessons.

How can a normal person be using the guns of the state to terrorize civilians in the name of making money? Only in Nigeria.

A Nigerian man Lucky Onwurah Eriwa confronts police officer who allegedly planted marijuana in his car in Enugu, WonderTV media reports.
According to Mr. Lucky, some men of the Nigeria Police Force who were in a Passat saloon car with the plate number Abuja RSH578TH carried out an illegal stop-and search and in the process tried to implant marijuana locally known as igboo in their car.
Mr. Lucky has taken to his social media to raised an alarm about the illegal activities performed by some bad elements in the Nigeria Police Force. He also advised Nigerians to be on alert once they get stopped by men of the Nigeria Police Force.

Dirty, smelly and shameless policemen in Nigeria.

They use every style to steal from innocent civilians.

They rob civilians now with the guns of the State given them to protect civilians.

This can only happen in Nigeria, and worse, in the east.
The policemen extort the civilians; the money goes into buying SUV, building big houses and sleeping with young girls.

SMH.

Retrogression in Nigeria. Covid-19 excuse. But not true.

Those who brought this to us in 2015 ..

And perhaps put them into Nigeria armed forces.

It’s no news anymore.


Arewa enjoy Nigeria.

Southern politicians like up to beg Arewa for presidency in 2023.

Tell Amotekun people: having a regional armed force to protect civilians in a region against invaders from another region in the same country is like having many countries in one country.

Why not declare total independence from Nigeria?

Do you still think that a country can survive only when the country has crude oil and gas deposits?

Nigerians took to her comment section to share their ugly experience with Nigerian electricity providers.

See comments below.

Lady, tell the stories to the world: Nigeria is like a roasting chamber for Nigerians still left in the country.

Hotel bill, flight tickets, food bills - all outrageously high and out of norm.

Let Boko capture all of Nigeria so that eye go clear politicians from non Sharia states in Nigeria.

Dedetwo:
I honestly believed Oguta should replace Orlu in the hierarchy of things in Imo State.

Orlu should replace Owerri in the hierarchy of things in Imo state in future.

Nobody knows tomorrow. Since 2007, Imo has been having governors who have no soft spot for Orlu. Yet your Owerri can’t dwarf Orlu.

Abagworo:
The bolded is applicable to a lot of towns across Igboland. Nnewi people are so independent from Government in whatever they plan which is why despite the long years of neglect it has continued to thrive.

Orlu people have been financing building of their urban roads and drainage systems, maintaining their social amenities since 2007 when IMSG left the town except the five or so roads dualized by Okorocha government.
Awka does not host all institutions of government in Anambra State.

Federal government owned Nnamdi Azikiwe university teaching hospital is in Nnewi. Owerri would never allow that in Imo state. Politicians from Orlu zone?
Anambra State government upgrades Nnewi urban roads and drainage systems.

In Imo state, these things are limited to Owerri because some people led by the thinking of Ohakim and Okorocha believe that there is something special with the name: state capital which rest of us don’t know.
