I believe you did Government as a subject in SS2 or class 4 as the case might be. Didn't you read it in your textbook that the civil service is the engine room of Government through which the government generates revenues from resources within its jurisdiction, deploys same to pay salaries and sponsor capital projects, etc, thus resources are controlled and government power wielded through the civil service? So how could a decree which stripped regional governments of control and ownership of their civil services be said not to have equally taken away the power of the regions to own and control their resources? It is like your mechanic removed the engine of your car and he argued that he didn't damage the car since everyone can still see that the body is intact. Will you agree with him?

Subject to the provisions of this Decree, Nigeria shall on 24th May 1966 (in this decree referred to as ‘the appointed day’) cease to be a Federation and shall accordingly as from that day be a Republic , by the name of the Republic of Nigeria, consisting of the whole of the territory which immediately before that day was comprised in the Federation. - Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi 24th May 1966
Now go and look up the difference between a Federation and a Republic.

Deadlytruth:
Can you kindly explain how Jonathan wanted to return Nigeria to the regional federal system through the ill-concieved 2014 confab?

Godons1:
Lies.
IGALAS are the true owners of ANAMBRA. They are presently taking over their communities from Igbos, rendering most IGBOS homeless and IDP.

Klinee:
Almost all the towns and villages in NORTH PART OF ANAMBRA originally trace their linage in IGALA but they are all IGBO SPEAKING TOWNS and speak purely IGBO LANGUAGE.

"I asked, if you make derivation 25 percent, how does that save we Yorubas that have no oil? When my children will come and read in history that I was part of the people that said derivation should go to Ijaw people?".

Sammy07:
Actually, I'm not against politicians stealing money, because we can't take it from them.
But if they steal money with reasonable developments, haba. People won't look at the money they stole.

It's a Known fact that Western region was developing faster than other regions and Awolowo did more for Western Regions than other prime ministers of his mates.

There is no way he won't steal money or divert funds, but did he contribute meaningful development to western region? Yes!
All his achievements still stands and visible till date

Equal2DeTask:
Sharrap there



All Easterners are IPOB in disguise....

Its an issue fabricated by SE people. Yes the Asa Ndoki people are split into 2 states which is Rivers and Abia. Just like most states where you have some clans split into different states due to state creation.

When Rivers was created in 1967 being one of the first 12 states created, the boundary was carefully drawn, however during the creation of Imo state in 1976 they wanted to drag part of Rivers including oyigbo into their new states, but the NBC had to disprove their claims.

Cashsteady:
Untill igbo's start replicating the same in their land.. we can't continue to be the father Christmas of all tribe in Nigeria. Almost every tribe are running to the west daily in massive numbers, overpopulating our cities and putting pressure on our resources why there own region is almost like desert.. The Yorubas are not even liked in igboland, they deny us job and houses but cry tribalism when such are done here.. enough is enough

SlayerForever:
I've heard a lot of our people say this. However you have to realise something. There is a reason Wike is taunting the Igbo politically without fear, as regards his ambition at federal level. The reason is because we Igbos have been played to the back at federal level, both complicitly and otherwise. At federal level we are no longer big players. Check this. If Wike becomes a presidential or vp candidate tomorrow, whatever we feel about him is of little bearing to his political destiny if the North is backing him. This is why he is acting as he is doing now.
