I believe that the British should have conducted a referendum in 1960 to allow the ethnic nationalities decide if they want to carry on with the British invented idea called Nigeria. Of course, nobody could have foresaw the calamity that would come later in the shape of a civil war.

I think there should be 3 referendums.

The first, to determin those who wants to continue with 'one Nigeria' and those who want to go.

The second referendum will be held amongst those who decide to leave Nigeria so that they can decide who they want to stay with eg, It could be that Itsekiri,Isoko and Ijaw want to be together as a separate country or maybe all the Igbos and Igboids of Delta and Rivers all prefare to be together or maybe Efik/Ibibio/Ogoja/ Calabar/Oron want Oyono Republic. Or maybe everbody wants to be together

A third and last referendum will be held amongst the group(s) that have decided to be together, on what sort of constitution, system of Government, and terms of being together.

[size=14pt]Deceitful post.

Using your example of multiple referendum to decide the most minute detail, What about the 5th referenda to decide who will rule, 7th referenda to decide how to distribute national projects, 8th referenda to decide how to deal with corrupt government officials , 9th referenda to decide blah ...blah ... blah and Fulani herdsmen menace until the 90th referenda?

Nigeria needs just ONE referendum to allow those considered second class citizens or 5% to leave peacefully if they wish before it inevitably leads to an armed conflict which will dislocate Nigeria and indeed much of Africa for another 100 years.

All security experts including the CIA have predicted that a second Nigerian major civil war isn't a question of if but when.Exactly why they are meeting northern governors now in Washington DC to intimate them about secret arms acquisitions happening around the world which may eventually find its way into a Nigerian conflict now that the conflict could be averted for the sake of Africa[/size]

[size=13pt]Please let us get it clear.
It is ignorance powered by folly that causes them to talk down on other Africans.

It is only the unfortunately successful marriage between ignorance and folly that
supplies the confidence to Nigerian youth to brimmingly spew ignorance outside while they doggedly cling on to every ideological position that keeps them inferior in today's modern day world.

Reminds me what Piers Morgan said of Amorosa on the 1st episode of the celebrity apprentice: "Her ego writes cheques her personality cannot cash".[/size]

[size=13pt] 100% correct!

Nigerians have been fed lies from birth that we are "Giant of Africa"

Unfortunately, many African countries have a higher standard and quality of life than Nigerians. If Kenya and other countries as Botswana,Ghana, Cote d'ivoire, Rwanda, Tanzania etc and all north african countries are beating Nigeria in every human development indices and yet they don't have OIL, think of where they would have been with the vast oil wealth Nigeria had.

It is disgraceful that just a few states such as Kano, Rivers or Akwa Ibom state which takes more money from Federation account than all of Kenya's budget put together, yet we have nothing to show for all the money we have as a nation.

But, of course we cannot understand it because we a supposed to be the Giant of Africa. In reality we are the BIG Disgrace of Africa[/size]

THIS IS THE MAN THAT SHOULD BE RUNNING NIGERIAN ECONOMY OR EVEN NIGERIAN LEADER!!!....NIGERIA CANNOT GROW WITH INEPT & HIGHLY INCOMPETENT LEADERS!!!

apc and nigeria are too tribalistic to see your reason.

so they deserve what they have become by enthroning a stark illiterate to decide thefate and the future of their children

Seconded every anambra son is aware that willie obiano is continuing from where obi stopped
So far i am impressed with Obiano's achievements
I am aware that if not for the fall in oil prices obiano could have performed better than all the Nigerian governors elected since 99
My problem is when some ingrates try to drag obi into the mud by saying that he achieved nothing
But these ingrates don't understand that if obi had not laid the foundation obiano wouldn't have recorded this progress we are witnessing
Finally thank God for the gift of obi and Obiano

[size=14pt]Obi definitely did a lot to pull Anambra from the brink of failed state where rogue godfathers and Obasanjo simply shared the state's resources at parties with underage girls.

Obiano is a seasoned administrator and has a clear vision what is needed for a state to develop. Obi kind of knows education,health etc are important for a society to develop, but didn't really understand how it worked with enabling environment and bold infrastructure improvement. Above all, we will remain eternally grateful to Obi for giving us Obiano.

Secondly, Obi was considered Ojukwu's political son and he should have known the importance of Ojukwu to Ndigbo.He very well became a governor due to Ojukwu's endorsement of his character. I think Obi goofed when he left APGA and then started bad mouthing his own very successor! Thus, many of his die-hard supporters simply left him in disillusion & disgust. The same thing happened to Ngige when he joined APC and the same thing would happen to Obiano if he dares to leave APGA for APC.[/size]

Dangote who the Northern Oligarchy are always supporting with Nigeria's commonwealth? Compared to billionaires who started from 20 pounds. C'mon gerrout!

[size=14pt]Dangote is a certified corrupt thief nah!

Now he is plotting how to use his brother Buhari as front to sell the multi-billion NLG to themselves. How can you compare such criminals to hardworking businessmen?[/size]

Bihari will continue to slaughter Nigerians of southern extraction.
Una deserve am.

The abooki in Aso Rock that only has enough skills to lead cows have been entrusted with the fate of 180 million people. He will surely make ensure they are as poor as cows.

Hehehehehe....lolz

This dullard sef!
So the operation crocodile tears isn't military action, yet his soldiers are already dying?
Yeye dey smell.

Buhari, BRING IT ON.... Stop making excuses form your litany failures.

They should consider IEDs not hunting anyone.

Alexbond:
Fellow Nairalanders, I saw this on YouTube so I decided to share it with you guy. Meet the family that was believed to once own the half of the world’s wealth either directly or by proxy during 18th to 19th century. They own investment from Europe to America, from South America to Africa and to the Asians continent. They have lend money to many government, dethrone and enthrone kings, used great men from Vanderbelt to Andrew Carnegie, from JP Morgan to John D. Rockefeller. Meet the Jewish family which originated from Germany, the descendants of Joshua.
The Rothschild’s Family.
Let us learn from history...

[size=14pt]Buhari and Aisha will definitely be interested in becoming something like this at least in West Africa. While lying to us they suddenly made their money through Aisha "businesses" since they became President.[/size]

Seun, please remove this tribal post to advertisement section.

It is spoiling our little unity between the tribes of Nigeria.

Abeg leave Buhari.
The guy is enjoying inside Aso rock, you people are outside suffering and gossiping

[size=13pt]Again Tinubu has been used, once more Tinubu has been dumped.[/size]

[size=13pt]Not even a single sham election conducted under Buhari will be free nor fair.

Buhari will simply use the power of the state to rig all the elections from now to 2019 when he will rig himself in for a second term[/size]

Believing APC and their lies of "Changii"

It is good that Nigerians are suffering the consequences of bigotry and silly naivety believing APC hook,line and sinker.

[size=13pt]We already know APC is hell bent on using Buhari's cousin as INEC chairman to rig all the elections from now to 2019. Where they lost so badly that rigging would be impossible, INEC will declare the elections "Inconclusive"

The days where incumbents never lose elections no matter the will of the people is back. Nigeria is officially back in the 1950s type of leadership[/size]

[size=13pt]Shamelessness, self praise and deceit is a problem in Nigeria.

Just go to other African countries and see . We are here killing ourselves with tribalism. Nigeria is the shame of Africa and an indisputable proof that black people may be mentally inferior to Asians and Caucasians.[/size]

Like most politicians, Buhari is a very corrupt man. The difference is that he hides his corrupt practices or shields his friend and wife when they are caught.

Pedophile alhajis everywhere you look

How does that concern me?
Dangote is one of the problems with Nigeria.
Always plotting with corrupt leaders to cheaply buy our national assets and get all sorts of concession that ruin our economy. Like giving him dollars at subsidized rate, while he never reduced the price of his products. Now, we have been led into a recession totally out of that crazy idea.

Intimidation tactics of these old men on young people is getting too much!

Because he is in government and has power, he is suing an unemployed youth knowing the poor youth has no money to spend on legal fees?

@OreMI22...I had sincerely hoped things would have been better? I envisioned this country going to the moon soon instead we see FG projects on production of pencils... pencils

[size=13pt][b]
My dear,

You see, you cannot build a nation by undermining part of it and trampling on justice & equity.I mentioned the Libyan-Fulani herdsmen as a metaphor of how injustice in the system will allow a fulani man to murder a local farmer and still walk free, while you cannot kill their chicken without going to jail! Your president pretends he is powerless against these people but finds all his powers when dealing with Gov. Fayose who made laws to protect Ekiti people.

These same injustices in the system will not allow anyone to feel they are Nigerian and therefore, that your moon travel will never happen as the best brains will be overlooked in preference to a fulani man in FG engineering jobs. After paying Bursary to a fulani child with lower cut off marks, the brilliant son of a fisherman in the south is allowed to drop out of school because nobody will pay for his education.Is that fair?

In America, there is a speech in January called "State of the Union" where the President addresses pressing issues of justice,equity,fairness and economic growth.

In Nigeria, we believe justice and fairness is inimical to our progress. Thus, Nigeria is today a dying country and it's guaranteed to die at some point unless serious steps are taken to address issues of justice and fairness.[/b][/size]

[size=14pt]But, al least Daura has a public library Emeka Offor can repair to please Buhari.

Does Emeka Offor even have a library at all in his hometown- Oraifite?

Lol.....[/size]

I graduated with high hopes, had big dreams, worked hard to be the best graduating student in my department, and above all genuinely loved my country.

To change things in my country has always been my aim, slowly it rescinded to just things in my field of study and now I wonder! My eyes has slowly but surely been opened to the sham this country and our leaders are. They have practically sold our birthrights and would not hesitate to sell our hopes if they could. I have watched as Chinese contractors balantly cheated and killed the spirit of Nigerian engineers with the backing of our leaders, our so called protectors who they simply pay off and they turn a blind eye, I have watched as half-baked Asians curse at and disregard the opinions of fellow highly intelligent engineers in our own country, arguing isn't an option because you would simply be sacked and majority have accepted their fate, who would want to fight a battle that the mentality and utterances of people around you have said you can't win? Who would want to fight a lost battle? I have watched the engineering passion slowly extinguish from the eyes of my fellow great engineers, I have seen that innovative and creative spark die in a lot of good men/women who have resigned to fate.

I have seen intelligent young people with great dreams resort to betting and quick money schemes and loose the little they have trying make a little cash, I have also been privileged to see some lucky few leave this country and her woes behind to even lesser countries to start afresh and get to expend their brain resources and be noticed. I have watched my country willingly let go of extremely intelligent young capable hands under the guise of tribalism, religious fanatisim etc and I can't help but wonder where has my country gone?

I said goodbye to a very brilliant young friend of mine today who is migrating to Gods Own Country, this is someone who we both shared great dreams we had hoped to achieve in the field of engineering here in our country, I looked at my friend and asked when would you be back? and got a sad smile in return. Well, Maybe Nigeria prefers to read of her peoples exploits in developed and willing to develop countries. Who knows I may join up soon!!!

But I say, Nigeria wake up, reclaim your past glory, cast off any form of religious yoke, cast of tribalism and embrace common sense, do not let all your heroes of tomorrow leave while you wallow in past glory, we claim to be a godly country but 90% of us are two-faced, sometimes I do imagine God/Allah looking down and shaking His head at us, its not enough to claim to be His child, we have to act the part.

Arise Nigeria...Arise

[size=16pt]
So lemme ask,,
Which country did you have all that high hopes for? Nigeria??[/size]

[size=13pt]Apart from the clinic where you were born, was your birth even documented anywhere in the official documents of Nigeria?

You see why Fulani herdsmen from Libya have more rights than you as a so called Nigerian?

Apart from Governor Fayose fighting for the rights of Ekiti citizens to live and farm in their land without harrassment and murder by the so called Fulani-Libyan herdsmen, which other Nigerian governor have stood up for the so called Nigerian citizens they govern in their state?[/size]

[size=13pt]All these people posting responses, Does it make any sense to respond to a drunk Abooki?

Even a child born today in Egypt knows Buhari is carrying out his "revenge" against the Igbo and other 5% that did not vote for him.

Like Abubakar Shekau, this abooki believes he could just argue against glaring facts by telling lies and everyone will be confused like them.[/size]

[size=18pt]Nigeria is no longer wanted nor invited at G-20?

lolz they say recession is "just a word"

It is called "Changii"![/size]

[size=15pt]Another southerner killed by northern mob and they trying to cover it up as "religious" issues.

It is time to pay back northerners in their own currency of violence in the south.[/size]

[size=14pt]Appointing incompetent people to run the economy purely out of sentiment of being APC party members is what rules Buhari's mindset & decisions, and what has ruined Nigerian economy.

When OBJ pleaded with NOI to help him boost Nigeria's economy, she was neither a PDP member nor even living in Nigeria. She was a top Nigerian technocrat at the world bank.

Anyhow, how does it concern me? Those that want every decision to be based on primordial party, tribal or religious sentiments should enjoy the Nigeria they are creating.[/size]

[size=16pt]Exactly!

Abookis will quickly counter by saying the Gold in Kano does not belong to Anambra nor Asaba and can never be shared with Anambra!

But they will turn around and argue they desrve lion share from the oil in another man's land.

You see why there will NEVER be peace in Nigeria?

Some people think the term "One Nigeria" is a license to loot other peoples' resources.[/size]

[size=15pt]Just knowing how and where to strike is all NDA needs for now.

I think the NDA should adopt asymmetric warfare tactics.
Until it is armed enough to confront NA head-on.

Now they will be better served using small ambushes and IEDs. But powerful IED strong enough to take out a gun boat or tank. So they should learn how to do it with artillery shells.[/size]

[size=17pt]How much was recovered?

Where is the money and who is keeping it?

Why are you so secretive on how much was recovered and who is keeping the money?

We know you corrupt basterds have already looted the recovered loot. [/size]
