It was Buhari and now it is Tinubu

Why these people like Hope like this ?

In the past 8 years imo has seen the most presidential visit aside from the two president home state

Too many Presidential visits to Owerri to commission Uzodinma roads in Owerri.
Uzodinma is governor of Owerri. Go to the other towns in the other zones of Imo state; you will spit Tufiakwa over the level of decadence in those towns.

Nigeria's North have more population than the South.

Nigeria's North's land mass is twice that of the South.

So why should the North not have more local government areas and states?

You didn't read my comment that land mass or population figure is not considered when creating new federating units - states, local government areas, regions - in a country formed by different regions. Or you didn't understand what was written? Nigeria was formed at independence by three regions. Why would one region - north be turned into 20 states but the two southern regions were turned to only 17 states?

Lagos State could have been divided into 10 states if population is considered. Niger State should have been divided into 5 states if land mass is considered in creating new federating units.

What goes around comes around. Initially certain people kept quiet over their activities, thinking they were immuned. Their cohorts in government changed their name from boko haram to bandits. Not knowig it's a matter of time, all of them and their own people will chop breakfast

They know that bandits are another nickname for Boko Haram.
I mean, the religious and political leaders in the 12 northern Nigeria sharia states that unilaterally adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal laws between 1999-2001 know that bandits are offshoots to Boko Haram; all fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.
The difference between Boko Haram and Muslims in those states that adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal laws is like the difference between six and half a dozen.

Bluntemperor:
Much as I tend to agree with you, what happens to the CONFAB REPORTS - which ALL the Legislatures or Committee Signed but GEJ - refused to Implement? Can you still blame Tinubu for that?
Why can't the National Assembly - summons up Courage and Pass a Resolution -for its Implementation?
That CONFAB REPORTS - I believed is a good level playing ground for every Regions to grow and develop!
Or is there anything left behind again,by our Politicians,in this Reports?

Buhari said he consigned the recommendations of the 2014 CONFAB to the freezer.

As you rightly explained, the recommendations of the 2014 CONFAB could have been a panacea to the imbroglio of political structure and constitution created by northern military dictators for Nigeria. Then president Goodluck Jonathan said he was planning to implement the recommendations of the CONFAB in the next National Assembly which he expected would be less hostile to the CONFAB. Before a mammoth crowd in Lagos during his 2015 presidential election campaign, then President Goodluck Jonathan appealed to Nigerians to vote him in so that he could implement the recommendations of the 2014 CONFAB in a less hostile National Assembly.


But Tinubu with his group wouldn't listen to Jonathan's appeal to them.

Ironically, perhaps before Jonathan became a politician, Tinubu crisscrossed the SW region from 1999 campaigning for political restructuring of Nigeria.

Wow. The clappings of their Oyibo football managers are not in rhythm with the clapping of the Super Eagles.

Nigerians and religion. Oyibo doesn't do religion anymore.

Lol. Dangote. please stop the depletion of your company's profits on your name advertisements on CNN's mere mention of Dangote every few minutes.
Invest the profits in Nigeria.

The day after Tinubu leaves office, he will go back to agitation for Oduduwa Republic. Now he is carrying Nigeria on his shoulders trekking 24 days with green white green flag. Most Sofistiwretched.

Having the best Constitution under a bad leader will not make a difference - Olisa Agbakoba (SAN). But a good Constitution can prevent crime bosses from rigging their way into govt coffers. If they like let them adopt the McPherson Constitution, just reduce the powers of the Executive drastically. They be strangling the nation with their unchecked greed!

Having a bad constitution under a Messiah of a leader does not yield much positive results. We have seen how the bad constitution by military leaders led Nigeria to become the official poverty capital of the world.
The political structure of Nigeria was also fraudulently changed by northern military dictators using land mass or population figures to proliferate too many mostly non viable 20 states in one region - the North - but only 17 states in the two southern regions - East and West - that formed independent Nigeria with the northern region in 1960.
Land mass or population figures is NEVER used as yardstick to create too many new federating units and accruing political representation, in a country formed at independence by diverse regions.
There should have been equal number of states between the three regions that formed Nigeria in 1960.
Today, as other southerners ask for political restructuring of Nigeria, Northern politicians tell them to come to the National Assembly for political restructuring, knowing full well that the National Assembly is overwhelmingly overpopulated by northern legislators who will vote against any changes to the political structure and constitution.

DamnnNiggarr:


LIKE for Tinubu and Atiku
SHARE for only Peter Obi

Peter Obi, the great man who won the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria but was denied victory by Mahmood Yakubu.

asanausana91:
Abuja is the capital of Nigeria. Is Lagos the capital of Nigeria?
Fear a Yoruba man.
The north must learn their lesson.

So you now accept Abuja as part of the north.

They used to count 19 states in the north. The sin of Northern military dictators who used land mass or population figures to proliferate 20 new federating units in the northern region but allowed only 17 states in the two southern regions that formed Nigeria with the North in 1960 is what led Nigeria to be producing leaders largely decided by the northern political class.

Ironbull:
I stopped reading this thing when the writer said "it is tribalism" so now everything is tribal?

Ok, it is tribal do your worst or resign then because it is getting annoying reading stuff like this.

Every govt always try to decongest a particular parastatal in as far job security is not under a threat so moving a dept to Lagos or Enugu or Kaduna has nothing to do with tribalism.

Stop all these tribal nonsense pls......

Tribalism instead led to transfer of Federal Capital from Lagos to Abuja.

It's normal in other countries to distribute government departments to all over the country.

Which kain tribal sentiment?

Britain gave independence to Nigeria.
Britain distributes all its government departments to all the nooks and crannies of Great Britain.

ObiCertificate:
You mean Igbo-owned OPL 293 (Chief Arthur Eze, Oranto), OPL 286 (Chief Andy Uba, Focus Energy) and OPL 291(Emeka Offor, Starcrest) were seized by and are now mysteriously owned by Hausa-Fulani?

Folawiyo (SW), Dan Etete (SS), Odili (SS) and Alakija (SW) do not have oil wells? Rest with your dead propaganda.

You’ve finally added confusion to your anger, insincerity and dubiousness

During the civil war was when the crude oil wells worth billions of Dollars each in the SS were seized by your people.
Develop more sense. Or consult the T.Y Danjumas of Arewa.

StaffofOrayan:
Mehnnnnnnnnnnn
I wonder how many soldiers were shot in the back by fellow soldiers
Abi which kian 1800 strategy is this?

Without soldiers sabotaging their fellow soldiers, a battalion of united soldiers would have defeated Boko Haram and its bandits offshoot.
Fact is that the difference between Boko Haram/bandits and too many people in the 12 Sharia states, is like the difference between six and half a dozen.

ObiCertificate:


Now you’ve gotten yourself angry, did I not warn you to rest?

Your contempt for the SS that led you to insult their elders is well documented, just like the few drops of SE oil you tried to lie about. No wonder the SS elders demanded their own region which helped to crumble Biafra and forced the SE to surrender.

For the last time, rest.

In bold. The crude oil wells in the SS worth billions of Dollars each were seized by your people in Nigeria immediately after those few SS leaders got their request of carving the SS out of the old Eastern region. What do you do with regional autonomy but having lost your resources to outsiders? Your people used and still use divide and rule to exploit the oil producing areas.

ddippset:
Let me tell you some little things he can do!!

1. His cabinet is bloated, it is the highest cabinet in our history.
2. Feeding allowances for Aso Rock, for ministers, for senators.
3. All these heavy car allowances for ministers and law makers. 150 mil for one car.
4. Palliatives sharing under Tinubu has been a disgrace. For goodness sake, if you can't share palliatives what can you do?
5. Have the political will to dissociate self from people with EFCC cases and corrupt people. Ganduje, Akpabio, Wike, MC Oluomo .


So there is so much Tinubu can do to improve things.

It's not enough to STEAL the last presidential election in Nigeria and use court judges appointed by his APC to seal the heist.
Anyhow, the only promise made to Nigerians by Tinubu during the presidential election was that he would continue from where Buhari stopped. The Naira started its erosion in value against the Dollar during Buhari administration. Under Tinubu, the Naira is becoming like Somalia's currency during the hotter years of the El-Shabab/Somalia conflict.

ObiCertificate:
The SS elders are representatives of the people, so referring to them as clueless only exposes your contempt for their people, which has existed since the days of Adaka Boro.

Finally, there is much more crude oil in Ondo State alone (more than double) than the entire South East combined but you’re totally ignorant of the fact as typical product of “ezam milacle center”.

Rest.

Divide and Rule method has been sustaining your parasitic lifestyle in Nigeria. I am not surprised. You called the SS people clueless. I told you the clueless in the SS were the mostly late elders from the SS who begged to be carved out of Biafra. You turned around to write that I called the SS people clueless.
Here you demonstrate your MOST SOFISTIWRETCHED clan mindset. Gerrarout of here.

ObiCertificate:
In the bolded above, you referred to South South elders as clueless for asking for their own region, yet you were earlier pretending to be concerned over their welfare.

The two things that have therefore been established are your hypocritical and dubious crying more than the bereaved, and your admittance of the fact that the S/South are the hens laying the eggs and not you, so rest.

You don't understand the geography of the south.
It's not only the Southsouth that has crude oil and gas deposits in the south. There are a million times more gas deposits in the SE than in the SS. The SE produces a substantial amount of crude oil.
You referred to the SS people as clueless, whereas I attributed cluelessness to the so-called elders from the SS who begged to be carved out of Biafra. Go better school, you no gree go.

Odogwuzack:
Tinubu is still the best we've got if we are serious about taking Nigeria back to her glory days. Let's stop the hate and tribalism.

Reality is nothing ever gets better in Nigeria.
Buhari wrecked Nigeria. Tinubu inherited a wrecked Nigeria..

Tinubu group knew that Buhari was inept and tribalistic in power. They refused Buhari since 2003 till 2015 after Tinubu saw a chance to become president with APC.

There is hardly any thing Tinubu can do to make things better for the masses. Nigeria's political process and rigged political structure can never allow Nigeria to thrive.

"Something will definitely give if nothing is done urgently."
-- Kperogi.
What's definitely going to happen in Nigeria if the masses in Nigeria are continuously fried up in a frying pan, the manner Tinubu govt is frying them?
Nothing. Mass uprising can't succeed in Nigeria.
Military can't rise either. Nigeria is divided into ethnic groups.
Since the fall of the iron curtain, Europeans understood that multi ethnic and multi religious countries don't thrive. Europeans since then have helped to dissolve the European countries formed by multi ethnic and multi religious groups, beginning with the old Soviet Union to Yugoslavia to Czechoslovakia, and now with a shaky EU after the departure of the UK from the EU. Turkey wouldn't be admitted to the EU for reasons everyone knows but the EU wouldn't say.
But Nigeria's political class are glued together by cheap cash from crude oil. They know full well that Nigeria is an experiment that cannot yield positive results at the long run.

If the Economy of a country is wrong, nothing else gets right in the country.

ObiCertificate:
What are you saying?

You have forgotten that the North has not gained anything it’s holding the Presidency the most, so which infrastructure are you talking about?



You must be kidding me. Please always remember that Arewa does not benefit anything from holding Presidency.



Ironically, the “barren cock” cultivates and produces the maize/corn that feeds the lazy & clueless hen. A hen so clueless it needs the cock to also refine its eggs for consumption.

Rest & always remember that the North has not benefited anything from being in the Presidency.

In bold above. You tagged people of the oil producing areas clueless.

Well, the cluelessness can be traced back to the middle of the Nigerian civil war when some clueless elders from today's southsouth region travelled to Arewa and begged the then military governor of Northern region, Hassan Katsina, to beg the then Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, to carve today's Southsouth out from Biafra. Yakubu Gowon quickly created Cross River and Rivers states out of Biafra. That helped federal soldiers a lot to lead to fall of Biafra.

Appointing other set of people in Marine and Solid minerals Police to go to steal their own.
Restructure Nigeria politically, that's the solution. This process of starving the hen that lays the golden eggs to feed the baren cock must continue to engender oil and solid minerals theft.

Buhari and Tinubu appointed the judges. Even APC supporters boasted during the last presidential election that APC appointed the judges. They boasted that other political parties must forget to win the last presidential election in court.

Oloribu southerner. Lagos Ibadan nko. East west road nko.una no like better thing.se the dullard no get 8years to do it

Nigeria's fraudulent lopsided political structure is behind the phenomenon of getting oil money from the Niger delta region but investing the money on infrastructures first on Arewa but the oil producing areas languish.
At the FEC, NASS and Council of States where decisions are taken on projects to be executed by the federal government, Arewa votes predominate.
The fraud of using land mass or population figures to proliferate undue large number of states in Arewa is behind starving the hen that lays the eggs to feed the baren cock in Nigeria.

Northern Italy 🇮🇹 was about to break out from Italy because the South of Italy dominating the government was starving the productive North, but political restructuring of Italy stopped the breaking up of Italy during the early 1990s.

And the 9 oil producing states shall still be moving around with canoe and tricycles.
From Rotimi Amaechi to Umahi, and to their colleagues in the oil producing areas, what a group of politicians held hostage by Arewa.

But APC is already making Nigeria to become a one party State. And IBB can't do anything about it.

That means that the coalition will fail because nobody will be ready to vote an 81 years old man to replace another old man, Tinubu.
