Politics › Re: Hardship: Don’t Join Protest Against Tinubu, Afenifere Begs Yoruba People by onuman: 2:49pm On Feb 25, 2024
President Tinubu's anti human economic reforms was backed by Tinubu's knowledge that few Nigerians voted for him during the presidential election but his APC-appointed INEC Chairman and APC-appoimted Court judges stole the presidential election for APC.

Was this man asleep when Bola Tinubu was making his most antihuman economic policies immediately after the day he was sworn in as president of Nigeria without ministers and central bank gov?
Tribal jingoists like this man is reason why mass revolution is next to impossible in Nigeria.

Let the Supreme Court revise its judgment on the last presidential election petition to save the situation in Nigeria from worsening.

You don't know the extent that corruption has eaten deep in Nigeria.

If the regional system of government will be closer to the people, are you now saying that the led will be sitting right there with them in their offices?


We're talking based on our different line of experiences. I have had the opportunity to work closely with some people, hence I feel so sorry for people like who don't know anything.



The point is:

It would be a disastrous waste no matter the system of government we implement right now without reorientation and absolute repentance.





Chai..
Your abusive manner in a public discourse suggests that you need the orientation you prescribed for Nigerians, before powers get to be devolved closer to the people in a pluralistic country like Nigeria.
Sharing proceeds from crude oil has failed Nigeria. Why do you want to stick to a failed experiment?

Hell no.

The government has shirked its responsibility in providing a basic necessity - power.

People now avail themselves of every opportunity to charge phones, rechargeable lamps etc in public places like schools, hospitals and now churches.

Only If this will bring them to Christ!
Raji Fashola was power minister for 8 years. Courtesy of APC, Tinubu and Buhari who in a winner takes it all manner placed the large three federal departments of Power, Works and Housing under one man, Fashola.

States usually have annual budget for the operation of their affairs,,

They have their State IGR which is totally different from Federal IGR,,

They receive security votes in trillions of Naira,,

They receive allocations from the FG,,

They also take loans,,

What have they used it achieve?

Rather, especially in the North, they use those monies to fund terrorism in other to receive more allocations for security and to give excuses on why they're backward in terms of growth and development!!

Chai..


My argument is this;


Whatever will make devolution of powers to work means that the governors and all other leadership position holders must be serious with their job and take the welfare of the people as paramount - more like near absolute repentance from corruption.

Hence, there wouldn't even be need to decentralize power in first place if they can do as stated above.


Because, the end will be like - making the governors richer and more powerful by "dissolving corruption at the middle to institutionalize it in States - with the governors holding powers to do and undo".

That same corruption and backwardness will continue.

Whatever will happen in devolution of powers can still happen as it is right now!!




Chai..
"...dissolving corruption at the middle to institutionalize it in States - with the governors holding powers to do and undo".

The above by you suggested that you have little to no idea of what true and fiscal federalism is all about.
The present unitary government system has failed woefully and institutionalized a dole system and laziness among all in Nigeria. The regional government system Nigeria used to have was a million times better than this unitary government system.
Even in advanced democracies, official corruption exists, but it's minimum because the leaders are close to the led and therefore called to account for their actions in office.
But in this unitary government system in Nigeria, politicians in Abuja are too far away from the led, the official corruption in Abuja thus infested those in the states and local government levels.

Is there any assurance that the governors too are not monumental failures and thieves?

None of those hooligans think about you.

Except a state like Lagos and the FCT that we can categorically affirm their spirit for constant progressive initiatives and better outlook to success than others, simply because of their status to the country.

Corruption is almost impossible to completely exterminate in the Nigerian political atmosphere, but it is possible to curtail it to the barest minimum.

I shake my head in dismay when I pass through some States during road travel;

"all you see are chaff houses, very poor environment and setting, wretched living situation, and emptimess that you'll be depressed to ask if this is the so-called Nigeria that they say is blessed with abundance crude oil and so many other natural resources!!?"



The environments look like 400BCE, which is absolutely devoid of any contact with the reality of what a present day 2024 should be.

Chai..


It will be extraordinarily suicidal to believe that devolution of power is what we need.


I'm sure many will run to their respective religious abode to share Divine Testimonies when the Block of Corruption favours them.

It will rather be extraordinarily suicidal if Nigeria's politicians don't restructure Nigeria politically for devolution of powers to the states or to the regions/zones. Every state, including yours, needs to look inward for what can be invented in the state for development of the state, instead of running to Abuja every month for federal allocations.
Think of Venezuela 🇻🇪 to understand that crude oil proceeds are not all that there is for a country to live on.

"24 years of practising the presidential system is not enough. The important thing is to devolve power and resources to the states and certain jobs from the federal to state and local governments.” ---- Obasanjo.

For about 15 years, Bola Ahmed Tinubu campaigned all over the SW region asking for exactly what ex President Obasanjo suggested above.
After Bola Tinubu assumed office as president of Nigeria, every right thinking Nigerian thought that he would Immediately go into political restructuring of Nigeria.

That "Nigeria will become a pariah state if Bola Ahmed Tinubu is made president of Nigeria."
The above warning was made severally online during the last presidential election. Yet Mahmood Yakubu and APC court judges appointed Tinubu to become president of Nigeria.
It's time for the Supreme Court judges to review the court's judgement on the last presidential election.

Dreamer, Dogon turenchi, vanity writing, and vanity publishing.

Until people like this writer tell themselves the truth that Nigeria is not a manageable country due to the centrifugal forces acting on Nigeria from the diverse multi ethnic, multi religious and multi cultural groups forced into one Nigeria because of Oyibo's economic interests, the writer is beating around the bush.
Nigeria's intellectual class needs to see why European politicians tactfully supervised the dissolution of nearly all the multi cultural, multi religious and multi ethnic countries in Europe, after the collapse of the Berlin Wall. European politicians dissolved such multi countries on discovery of the fact that such countries never thrive at the long run.

The 12 far north sharia states that adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal laws understood Nigeria more than this vanity writer.

He never knew that Nigeria's armed forces are most disunited since the entry of Boko Haram into the Nigerian scene. A Nigeria's armed forces that have been unable to chase away the ragtag Boko Haram forces from Borno state after 10 years.

But you don't yet understand that one Nigeria is a huge stumbling block for improvement of the humanity in your Yoruba land?

You can't understand why after the fall of the Berlin Wall, European politicians tactfully supervised the dissolution of nearly all the multi cultural and multi ethnic countries that once existed in Europe. They dissolved those countries because they got to understand that the centrifugal forces on the countries from the diverse groups would never allow them thrive.
Nigeria's politicians harness crude oil proceeds, share most of the proceeds among themselves, but make the masses in their respective regions wallow in poverty, and now in starvation. Look at Venezuela. Continue with palliative. Next twenty years, palliatives will be shared.

That's what you get from cheering a country that shouldn't have been one if not for Oyibo's economic interests.
After the fall of Berlin Wall, Oyibo big shots tactically supervised the dissolution of nearly all the multi cultural, multi ethnic and multi religious countries that once existed in Europe because Europeans got to understand that such countries never thrive due to the centrifugal forces acting on them. But because of crude oil in the Niger delta region, some
Nigerian groups refuse to accept the fact that multi ethnic, multi religious and multi cultural countries with strong groups never thrive.

But Tinubu was about to send Nigeria 🇳🇬 armed forces to invade one of the countries, namely Niger 🇳🇪 Republic. So how does Tinubu now convince these countries that the ECOWAS led by Tinubu is not their enemy? These are countries who want true independence from the colonial masters, unlike Tinubu's Nigeria which depends on colonial masters to keep dysfunctional Nigeria one.

Rostikol:
Meron Benti, an Ethiopian albino: «I know people stare at me. In Africa they called me a foreigner. In Italy I was the “negro girl”

Meron Benti is An Ethiopian albino born to regular black Ethiopians.

As you can see, she looks EXACTLY like a white person from Sweden or Norway.

This is proof that the people we call 'WHITES' today are simply descendants of ancient African albinos.

In ancient times, it appears there was a breakout of ALBINISM among certain African populations around the Horn of Africa.

Remember that there are original black Africans with straight hair like the Ethiopians and Somalis etc.

That is their natural state with NO admixture.

When they produce albinos, they look exactly like the people we call ''white people'' today.

The ancient Africans were shocked by the strange appearance of these albino babies, and attributed it to some kind of disease.

They banished the albino populations to places were they eventually formed their own communities, interbreeding with themselves, and eventually becoming ''the white race''.

They left Africa in droves for more temperate climates in Europe where the sun was less harsh, to protect their albinoid skin from infection and diseases caused by sunlight.

The reason for white racism today could be partly due to their subconscious recollection of being driven out of black communities in the ancient past and left to fend for themselves in isolated communities...

The level of mass starvation, official corruption and centrifugal forces acting on Nigeria is overwhelming. But most of the politicians of Nigeria refuse to tell themselves and their people the truth that humanity in Nigeria can only be made to progress if Nigeria gets divided into more manageable countries.
Politicians share oil revenues and watch the rest of humanity in Nigeria dehumanised.
Europeans were not stupid after the fall of Berlin Wall when they tactically supervised to divide nearly all the multi cultural, multi religious and multi ethnic countries that once existed in Europe.

Tinubu sponsored Igboho to start Yoruba Nation agitation as Plan B if Buhari refused to hand power over to Tinubu. Oduduwa Republic secession should have followed. Of course, Tinubu once said his mind that he didn't believe in one Nigeria.
Even on the courtyard of London's Chatham House, Yoruba Nation agitators demonstrated and waved Oduduwa Republic flags while Tinubu was speaking inside the house.

In 2023, Mahmood Yakubu disabled the system for electronic transmission of vote results after discovering that Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso were sharing the votes of their main ethno-religious constituency; and that gave Peter Obi the opportunity to be far ahead of all the presidential candidates.
