Personally i think that the only way Nigeria can progress is simply by using our resources to fire up industrial development so that we can sell industrial products globally

That would put us on the path to peaceful restructuring in my mind.

Not the restructuring where we would end up arguing over who controls resources

Good afternoon.

By the way why did you insult me? I did not insult you. I see no reason why you should call me daft.

Thanks

I apologize for that .No vex .
I usually get upset when people use that northern phrase that they don't understand what restructuring is" meanwhile it's just a way for them to keeping enjoying this evil status quo .

Godarz:
So far no one has been able to tell me what restructuring.means other than "The South gets all the oil money while the North can go rely on agriculture "

Which sets the stage for a huge tribal conflict about who controls the resources

Nigeria's problem is not restructuring. Our problem is that we think our abundant resources makes us a rich nation plus we think we can make a living by just selling the resources.

That's not how rich nations roll.

If we don't get rid of that attitude of ours, restructuring is a one way trip to anarchy.

And i am saying this not because i am an apc or buhari supporter. (I Dont back pdp or apc, and i refused to vote for buhari because he was being promoted as a saviour and Nigeria does not need a saviour unless we want to go back to one man rule )

I am saying this because i am a realist and because the only countries i know that separated peacefully did so because they were economies based on what they could make with their hands not resources they could sell .

You reason like our daft northern politician ..How can you say you don't know what restructuring is ? Why don't you stop being lazy and read up the various national conferences that have been held in order to bring a lasting solution to Nigerias problem .

How can you Say the only thing that northerners have is just agriculture ? What about the various natural resources, like the various mineral &precious stones underneat their ground ? What about gold underneat thier ground? What about the rich soil of the diverse land in the north that is enough to feed the whole country and can be exported as well ? What about the more than enough man power to drive thier economy ? What about tourism? Considering the natural, beautiful enviroment that is endowed with beautiful rocks , mountains , water falls , animal conservation with various tourist attraction that the north is endowed with ? Do you know how much tourism alone bring to a nation not to talk of just a region?

You guys just like to sit around & do nothing .Then only think of how to lazily get free money from Abuja every month, due to the oil from the Niger Delta, which is barely enough to go round .
Can't you people think beyond oil? Our leaders are all mentally lazy, that is why they have choose the status quo, becos it afford them to be lazy and collect free money, which they can embezzle without being question .
Pls try & think outside the box and don't be like our leaders that are mentally lazy. There is no region that will go hungry if we restructure Nigeria .
The North on the other hand, would be the richest region when restructured .This can happen if only they put thier brain to work by educating thier people and empowering them to start thinking outside thier small word of begging and sitting idle and waiting for free money from the rich .

YORUBA PEOPLE WONT LIKE THIS OP OR HIS THREAD

TTHE HATE ATIKU BUT PREFER TINUBU AND OSINBAJO

THE SAID ATIKU IS A CAMEROONIAN.., TODAY THEYRE ONES SHOUTING FULANI

VERY UNSTABLE

ONE OS ASKING OP IF HES A SOUTHERNER .. SO OP SHOULD SUPPORT TINUBU OR YORUBA MAN
WHILE THEY YORUBA CANT AND WONT SUPPORT A SOUTHERNER

THE LAST SOUTHERNER.. SAME YORUBA CHASED HIM OUT TO SUPPORT THIS KILLER BECAUSE OF THER GREED

SAME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO USE PROPAGANDA TO GAIN SUPPORT FROM BETTER SOUTH

ONLY THAT THEY Fail


SOUTHERNERS WILL SUPPORT ANYONE WITH THEIR INTEREST AT HEART EXCEPT THE SOUTHWEST

YORUBA SHOULD GO AND LOOK FOR SUPPORT ELSE WHERE NOT IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA

IF ITS ATIKU FINE ... IF ITS ANOTHER FULANI BETTER
YORUBA MAN IS A GREt no NO

THEYRE FREE TO CONTEST PRIMARIES

YORUBA NEVER KNOW WETIN THE COME

The south west & middle belt supported & voted in Buhari. And now look at what we got ? Sorrow , tears and blood- which has now finally come to thier door step .Support & Vote in Atiku na . Then, when the Fulanis' get even more and more bolder, thier first strike will start from you house hold .Innocent Nigerians must not die for your mistake . I don't know if God cursed the black race with stupidity .

BabaOwen:
You're a very foolish person. I will rather vote for Tinubu than voting another Fulani. Nigeria was not created for the Fulanis.

Me too ..I don't like Tinubu oo! But I would rather vote him in than another Fulani man there .Beside the North has ruled.

election2023:
There are steps ATIKU can take to become the next president of Nigeria.

(1) Make peace and good dialogue with Ibrahim Babangida, Obasanjo, Abdulsalam, Theophilus Danjuma.

(2) Make peace and good dialogue with President Muhammadu Buhari.

(3) Make peace and good dialogue with Northern elders, South-South elders and South-Eastern elders.

(4) Make peace and good dialogue with America, China.

(5) Work towards winning the North, East and South South.

(6) Choose Igbo VP or South-South VP.

God forbid that another Fulani man will rule us again .We are still dying under this mistake we made and you are mentioning the name of another one of same stock .
This Atiku that refused to conderm the evil activities of his people is thesame person u want to come and rule us again .
These people are all thesame oo! They cannot conderm thier own but would rather dig their head in the sand while they see people being raped &killed by thier own people

.Wetin sef! Are we cursed to always suffer in all of our lives ? Are we also cursed to always bring in terrible and corrupt leaders to rule us ? Are you saying from the whole of the 200million Nigerians ,with the youth making 70% of the pupulation , we cannot come together and vote in a creditable person ?

We need a leader that is credible and humane and not the once that we sacrifice our lives at the alter of his ambition or for the elevation of his ethic group .Pls no more .

meccuno:
I don't know why everything about you people is all about Igbos. When the easterners wanted an East development project how many Yorubas voted for it? You always leave the North that has been controlling this country and be attacking Igbos tht last produced a president more than 50 years ago. Are you people not brave enough to face the Fulani that has always held you down and called you slaves or it's only on the Igbos you can bark like a lion?

I wonder oo!

If you are here and you dont know Funmi Martin's, then I don't need to tell you the generation you belong to

Calmness has returned back to the Orlu and Orsu local government areas of Imo state, a day after the military invaded the forest to destroy the camps of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, in the areas.

When Vanguard yesterday called residents in the affected places at about 03: 45 pm, they confirmed that businesses and vehicular movement have all kicked off in full activities.
According to one of those who spoke to Vanguard, a motorcyclist, who said his name, Uchechukwu Amadi, said: “Nothing is happening again, all of us are going about our businesses. The military went into the forest and after their operation we have not seen them again. “You can see the banana junction every where is calm and people are going into the market and coming out. You can see busses from Orlu to Owerri. People are moving freely.”

He continued: “What I want to beg is that the government should settle with the Eastern Security network of the Biafra. We don’t want this tension here again.”
Commenting on the incident, the Imo state government through the state commissioner for Information, Declan Emelumba, said: “The attention of imo State government has been drawn to malicious rumours circulating around that the security situation in Orlu and environs has worsened.
“The purveyors of this tale went even further to impute that security forces have been shooting sporadically and arresting innocent citizens.

“For the avoidance of doubt,there is no truth whatsoever in those stories. If anything, the situation in Orlu has since been brought under control. There is absolute peace and calm in the city as people are going about their normal duties.
“Government is aware that opposition elements who abinitio instigated the crisis for selfish reasons are not happy that government quickly arrested the situation, hence the rumours.”
“Government assures all law abiding Nigerians living in Orlu or passing through the town that the city is completely safe. There should therefore go about their lawful businesses without any let. “No matter the level of provocation,imo State government under the leadership of Governor Hope Uzodinma will continue to discharge its primary duty of protection of lives and property,” Emelumba said.

Zooposki:
Just imagine we are almost close to achieving Southern Nigeria, and the Yorubas betray the cause to return us back to Nigeria. How would you feel?

At least there was an attempt .

Bashir75:
It’s difficult because Yorubas and Igbo have different cultures and their orientations are different as well. I promise you, the ethnic war will start between Yorubas and Igbo. Yorubas don’t like to be controlled and dominated but Igbos desire control and domination. Yorubas are successful multi religious society where in every Yoruba family there is Christians, muslims and traditionalists without pretence. In contrast, Igbos pretend to be christians than romans that’s why they cry foul of norther religion domination. In Yorubaland, it’s not an issue because that christian/muslim wealthy leader will accommodate all faiths as long they belong to the family.

Every region in the South, doesn’t like Igbos tendency to dominate and the push back is a public knowledge even in the South-South. Yorubas like to be their own boss and the hatred of the Yorubas by Igbos have created a wound or division that a little disagreement will cause war/deportation. The Yorubas feel they have a huge advantage to be a nation of their own, their diversity, education, hospitality and proximity of the Southwest to other West African border countries, water/ Atlantic is so enticing to every Nigeria and even foreign investors. Lastly, Lagos is the Carlifonia/Texas of Southwest nation. It can only get better with Lagos that other western states can make huge revenue from Lagos alone. We have farmlands, seas, rivers, Rail system that can be extend to other states, massive natural resources, massive refinery in Lekki, over 45 million population, gold in Osun, cement in Ogun and Oyo, Bitumen and Cocoa in Ekiti and Ondo. We can feed the whole nation and West African countries. Less I forget, Education.

what are u all arguing about ? If we must have a southern Nigeria then it has to be in a federation unit system in that every state will be independent and pay tax to the federal govt ..It could be like the United Kingdom, where every state or region will have to manage thier own affairs independently, then pay tax to the federal govt ..We could run a parliamentary system of govt instead of the presidential system .We must all look at the positive side over the negative things that devide us.But before we become a nation, there must be a road map by our intelligent mind across the south on how to build a new southern Nigeria that is devoid of ethic& religious prejudice that that is presently destroying Nigeria .
Measures must place to reduce these evil factors . Finally, a referendum clause must be included in our constitution to provide freedom for any ethnic national that want out of the union in the future . By doing that ,it will mean that every ethnic group is part of southern Nigeria without duress .
We need to a way out if this hell we call a large country .
I would rather live in a smaller secured south Nigeria than in an unsecured bigger Nigeria where nepotism and ethics hatred strive .

Naijabad:
Why can't the south unite and move out of Nigeria?

Why is it so difficult?

We can choose whatever name to call the emerging country.

Please what's your opinion on this?

"Southern Nigeria" will be a nice name

yorubarere:
I don't think this is a thread for you. Southwest join hands to build APC. We have a plan and we are not giving that away because our neighbor is hungry for power. If you want presidency, battle for PDP ticket and contest.

No one will serve anyone presidency on golden plates.

PDP & APC ..Is that what you are concerned about ? We have so much death around us and all u are thinking about is Apc & Pdp, whose leaders could not even condemn the killings all over thier land .Do u guys even know if you will be Alive to see another election in this God forsaken country we call Nigeria ? Do you know if there will ever be an election in this country again going by with what we are experiencing in recent times?
You and your wicked leaders are only concern about election and power then abandon those you all swore to protect . What kind of people are you anyway ?

SoulMus:
The problem with this offer is Niger Republic might want to join as well, sadly our resources can't cater for too many heads

Our people once said that it's only a stupid chicken sitting on top of a sack of corn that will die of hunger just becos it did not occurs to it that his beak could be use to tear through the sack to eat of the corn" .This also applies to Nigeria; who does not realized that every region and state has thier own resources that can make Her a wealthy nation ; if only they could decentralized the power from the top and allow the state to be independent and pay tax to the federal govt .

However new countries willing to join Nigeria must come with something (this should be after Nigeria has been restructured) . Therefore, any country that has no resources, be it natural or human, must not be allowed to join us. If not they will be one liabilities and a menace in our society.

They should join when Nigeria has agreed to practice a genuine federal system of govt .This will enable them maintain thier identity and system they are already use to; at thesame time become a part of a bigger Nigeria and the freedom from their French colonial masters.But France won't allow them join naija without a fight .

Moghalu should keep his mouth shut....he has no right whatsoever to disrespect the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria...is he saying the president isn't doing his best to bring the insecurity issues in the country to an end? Is he mad?.....besides what ethnic tension is he talking about? Nothing is going to happen to Nigeria...all enemies of the state must be brought to book..

My God! Are you human at all? Do you have blood running through your veins in any way? What manner of man are you that you will deliberately choose to lose touch of reality and happenings around you and become an irritant to serious minded individuals here. Are you just an attention seeker, that just like to spew rubbish so that you will attract comment? Pls and pls there is time for everything..This time in our live is not the time to play and be joking over serious happenings around us.My goodness!

[color=#0000ff] GTBank is $100/month. Check again, probably you're low on balance or you've made transaction(s) earlier (either successful or not). [/color]

I am not low on balance oo!.The response I got when my payment was declined was that i have exceeded my card limit. I dont know why. I even checked on the internet and I saw the $20 limit per month .I use a GTB platinum card.

Guys, how do you beat the restriction for placed for international shopping on ur cards ?
I have a restriction on my card for only $20 per month to make purchase online with my GTB. How do you shop with this restriction?
. Last month, I managed to purchase something worlth $54 but this month I could not use my card beyond &26. Is there any other way I can shop with my card without restriction ?

Very rare. When it is ready for collection they will send you a message to come and pick it up.

They used to .Its just that they stopped when the pandemic started .

igbo are our enemies just like Fulani

shut up you Divisive junkie.This thread is not for you .So Bleep off

GIANTPLUSHUB:
Beautiful bird. For you to have shown great care for her, that means you probably want to see her grow under your care. Trust me, it's a very nice experience.
You know what, Locate all these herb sellers. We called them "Elewe omo" in yoruba. Buy her a nest. Ask the Elewe omo the food such bird eat. They will definitely know as they deal with birds. Put her in the nest and hang her around somewhere in your compound and watch her beautifully grow up. It's a nice experience. Trust me, all the very best!

Then release it to fly away when it grown and strong enough to survive on its own .

hotwax:
Many opinions have pointed out that Northern leaders are being diplomatic and civil for asking Northerners not to attack Yorubas. Atleast if you are aged over 15years. You would have learnt over the years that North is the hot bed of sectarian violence. Religion and ethnic cleansing is a commonplace in the north. Any cough in Yorubaland always lead to full blown massacre in the North.

But what changed this time around?

The number 1 reason is, Yorubas are getting tired of Nigeria and are becoming violent. Yorubas are getting tired of being accommodating, they have lost a lot (Lives and Properties) to being friendly host to other tribes. The level of fulani-hausa resentment is growing in Yoruba land. An average Yoruba man (Leave out the political class and their beneficiaries) want yorubas to leave Nigeria and start "Yoruba Nation".

In the past 10years, Odua nation was a poor selling brand among yorubas. But like Biafra people, Odua nation is getting popular among Yorubas both at home and in Diaspora. Many notable yoruba leaders are now publicly supporting Odua country. And this is becoming a shock to Northern leaders.

Northern leaders know that the unity of this country is at the most fragile point. Any attempt to avenge will cause more ripple effect and lead to full scale war. Some of us are aware of Yoruba secessionists who are preparing for militancy (Not Sunday Igboho gang). These set of people will take advantage of the situation and set the country on fire. Northerners know how brutal Yorubas can be. Ibadan attack was just a random burning of properties. But Ile-Ife was a massacre. Ile-Ife/Modakeke people have no joy when it comes to killing. These are just examples of what Yorubas are capable of.

Its a common knowledge even to the presidency that our law enforcement and military are overstretched or incapable. They are only trained to protect fulani interest and shoot at unarmed civilians. They have proven over and over that they cannot withstand an armed group e.g. Boko haram, Bandits, ESN, Sunday Igboho. Remember Yoruba-hausa clash in mile 12? When the police came to join hausas to shoot Yorubas. But the endsars protest that saw many police killed, many police stations burnt have shown Nigerian Nigerian police what bloody Yoruba civilian are capable of.

Fagba in Agege is also another example of what Yoruba tout are capable of. Next ethnic clash will be gory as Northern reliance on armed force for support will fail.

In addition, a civil war will end fulanization agenda. And fulanis are wise not to invest in any venture that can lead to them loosing power.

Nigeria unity is really very fragile now. God help us.

thier son is in power and He is not doing so well In taking charge of things at the moment So they don't want to throw Nigeria into a full blown war that will be too much for him to handle .

Khaleepha5681:
Is there a drop of honesty in your speech for God's sake?

How do you sideline a tribe and call her responsible for our problem?

Please speak with honesty and God fearing

Was Ironsi Hausa or Fulani?

If Igbo are not called calamity,how Fulani will be blamed?

He is right .When Nnamdi Kanu was up and about insulting other tribes and trying to incite the East against the rest of Nigerians , he got a backlash from not only the eastern leaders and politicians from the rest of the south .But it not like that with the north .The north world rather dig thier head in the sand in other not to hear of the atrocities commited by thier people and still backlash the victims for defending themselves .
The Fulanis are bolder and more daring & doing whatever they want in other people land becos thier kin is in power .Your leaders and politicians are all complicit through thier various comment in turning the whole thing upside down .
Northerners ,especially ur elite and politicians are not disturbed about the killing, raping & kidnapping by the Fulanis' In the south but they became were very vocal when people started fighting back and asking the Fulanis to leave thier forest .
You people are terrible ..you should live with urselves .

nairavsdollars:
Not even Atiku. They all use restructuring to campaign. Once they win and see the power involved, they change the music

Atiku will make the Fulani more bolder ..he won't be different from Buhari. Enough with the Fulanis' . We have other tribes in the north . They are not the only tribe in that region

Balkan:
femi Adesina has stroke

Maybe he didn't position his hand well or it's the position of the camera.

Henix:
The same wicked Wike is warming up for vice president slot

He will be disgraced .We have had enough rascals in Aso Rock .Pls no more .Tinubu ,Atiku,Wike, Ameachi and the rest thieves will be disgraced when they contest .We don't need thier kind anymore .

ajealadick:
I doubt the authenticity of this accusation. Torture: YES
Rape: NO

No wahala!! Sey have sisters and cousins? I pray they do not experience something like this and someone like you will come out and deny it .
The Nigeria Army are now know to be pathological liars with no oita of shame . Here we have bandit and militant ravaging the whole nation but they cannot contain them but when it come to civilians, that is when they will show their strength . They are nothing but cowards and low life individuals.
I pray they die a miserable death where their bodie will never be found . Monsters .

drlateef:
From most of the responses so far, I can now understand why protesters chose Lekki Toll gate as their hangout. They are not really protesting against police brutality. Rather they are angry with government for borrowing money to build a bridge and collecting toll to pay the debt. In as much as I love accountability too, it appears that rather than demand for accountability, these protesters wanted the whole bridge development to be demolished and no toll collected. In many developed countries, monies are borrowed to develop infrastructure and people pay toll on roads to be able to recoup the debts back. Yet they pay more taxes than we pay in Nigeria. Yet they don’t complain. But the people can demand for information and accountability instead of destroying the structures. And I know that these protests are sponsored by enemies of Tinubu because they could not match his financial strength during elections. That’s the crux of the matter. There are a few gullible ones among the protesters who may not know what’s happening. But the truth must be told for who cares to know the truth.

Your comment lack any form of intelligence . Keep ur emotion in check and comment like an educated person.
