You gave a condition, which is 'if allowed' to control their resources, of course they will. I'm talking about the present arrangements

OkoNDOoBo:
You re a novice in nigeria political terrain. North voting north bullshit exist on social media.
Abiola defeated tofa in his home state kano massively. Jonathan that was handpicked for vp defeated buhari in North central and some states in core North. Politics in Nigeria lies in the strength of political structure not religious tribal bullshit.
APC biggest base is core North. Core north Apc caucus political career is also on the line in 2023 if APC loose. They will also present vp.
PDP northern candidate can never beat Apc southern candidate in 2023 except they neutralize the power and grassroot base of CPC caucus of apc in core north.

Tambuwal, escape his re-election with less than 300 votes , kwankaso lost his senate seat and his son inlaw lost to ganduje while emir of kano was banished for supporting PDP.

Except pdp kill el rufai(kaduna), ganduje (kano), wammako( tambuwal godfather) sokoto, yari(zamfara), danjuma Goje(Gombe), shettima,(borno) masari&buhari( kastina) e.t.c
.PDP and Atiku can never defeat this politicans in their states

obosi2028:
you think the East will vote him, you think the south will vote him . The north will not vote their own, is only the south West will make him present.

Ugomba:
will you shut up pls, we delta Igbos have warned you benin people to stop bringing your benin crap inorder to falsely rewrite our history and claim Asaba.. Heads will ROLL if you people dare us.

Edeyoung:
Wow so oromiyan left the ooni of ife and called benin king 'oba' meaning king..... Lol

Again why did oromiyan do this.....?


Why didnt eledumare crown ooni as king(oba) rightfully king, literally ooni means king anyhow you are putting it


Kaybiyesi :must not be questioned, royal highnes, king,and so on..... it is a genral word the yoruba use to adress thier king unlike thier respective title that alone should have made yorubas adopt the wold kabiyesi for kingship in a general term


Oba in benin does not mean king literally liks you equate kaybesi but it is representing king in benin, oba literally means[b] to shine[/b] illustriously it represents the topmost ruler of benin
So kaybesi could have gone like that too


Why did oromiyan leave the other yorubas and called oba of benin king?

scholes0:
Stop fooling yourself. They were all inferior to Binis because at the apex of the Benin kingdom was the Benin royal court and chieftain followed by the Benin people. That is why Benin did not allow any other traditional ruler in that area to bear OBA as a title. Something they themselves got from the Yorubas. That is why they would use urhobos as human sacrifice and why they would sell Afemais into slavery.

The entire Benin court culture was imported from Yorubaland. Oba as a word for the paramount ruler DOES NOT exist in any Edoid language but Benin. What you will see is Ojie, Ogie, Ovie Etc... and even in Benin there are still two words Oba and Ogie.
A Benin troupe still performed 'Ijesu N'Ogie' or 'Jesus is King' at my company's december gala. That is the default word for king in the Benin language EXCEPT when they are specifically referring to the palace court of the Omonoba which then they use 'Oba'.

Winterfell2:
After they'll compare Enugu to Port Harcourt. Not saying flyover is a yardstick but they should know their level. Having a first flyover when small cities like Uyo and Abakiliki are numbering 4 is shameful.

Rugaria:
Obasanjo consciously handed over Bakassi peninsula to the Cameroonian government! He even organized a military ceremony to that effect! Nobody from other parts of the country rose against this! This was an ijiot that swore by the constitution to protect the country and her boundaries! Today Bakassi indigenes are all scattered across different refugee camps in Cross Rivers State while Obasanjo is quietly enjoying his share of the national loot in Ogun State! That island should be yanked off and dashed to Lesotho! Since some of you only start reasoning once you start feeling the heat..

Blue3k:
A 2019 investigation by sunnewspaper showed the state failed woefully. If the islanders were smart they'd vote to become their own local government. The state and local government they're apart of dont care about them so they should get wise. The allocation the island gets could provide basic infrastructure and make them more politically relevant.

Facts about the island:
Only 1 dilapidated school that serves primary 1-6.
Expecting mothers deliver babies in Benin Republic.
No acess roads
No electricity
No market

Rossnitti:
Many Nairalanders describe Nigeria as 'failed', with break up of the country the only solution.

Most of them do this based primarily on their opposition to the current Buhari administration.

Here's a message for that crowd:

The problem with you is that you are thick, dumb and ignorant with regard to what it means to be a democracy.

Your thick skulls cannot understand that democracy is turn by turn and will not always favour you.

Buhari is a problem for you, so your solution is ''the country is failed!! Let's break up!!''

No part of your dull brain thinks ''ok, this is a democracy. His term's up in under 2 years. Let me join forces with like-minded citizens to vote him out of office and get in someone whose policies are more favourable to me''.

That is what folks in the US did, despite Trump trashing their nation on a daily basis, openly supporting killer racist neo nazi groups, describing them as ''good people'' to mass outrage, among other assaults on public sensibilities.

NOT ONCE did we hear Americans lament ''our country is failed. Let's break up!!''

Instead, they stormed the polls in greater numbers than ever seen, and voted Trump out of office.

Finish.

So you people who act as if Nigeria is some sort of life presidency for Buhari/Fulani people, with ''breakup'' the only option, need to go back to your villages and FARM, or TAP PALM WINE, because that is as far as your semi-literate intellects can take you.

Ridiculous people.

#5m wow
It means if Ojukwu had taken FFK to court for ploying his missus he would have died a millionaire. Interesting

Since when did adultery become a criminal offense? Married pastors have been sleeping with their church members yet non of them have been fined for adultery.

FreeSpirited:
Really?...How easy for truth to be bitter for guys when dey fvvck married women..but when u fvvck married men, the truth and preeq become sweet...oya clap for yourself.

pozehnani:
Gongola state
Where is that state now though?

Neddstark:
Almost all nations have people of different tribes. America the greatest, has all tribes but they are successful based on the orientation they give all their citizens, which we dont. Even in Spain, the Catalans are not Spainards. In France, the Corsicans are more of Italians than French. How about all over Africa that has more than 300 tribes but less than 60 countries? This is the 21st century. Only unity can move us forward not division.

Neddstark:
Let me add more for you

1. There would be an exodus. Millions of Igbos back to their land, millions of Yorubas from the North back to their land, same with Hausas and other tribes
2. A lot of other tribes' investment and properties will be claimed as state property.
3. There would be more poverty. As in extreme poverty. We will all be starting from the scratch.
4. Immigration will be a big issue. Proud Nigerians suddenly turned to aliens will be a problem
5. No foreign investment in a while. The whole regions will be unstable and no sane country will want to invest knowing they might lose their investments in one flinch.
6. Tribal conflicts and more fightings. This is Africa. This is bound to continue.

Let us take a look at African nations who have tried to divide in the 20th/21st century. Eritrea and South Sudan. Are they better off? Libya that fought a war in the name a of democracy still has no democracy decades after. Anyone who wants a war for Nigeria to divide is a genocidal maniac and should not be given a voice.

Redcrafton:
I talk am...you are not educated.

On paper Nigeria practices federal or presidential system of government, but in reality it practices unitary system.

Look at the blind man telling others to go to school...

You just want to show you can open a thread.

Please stop embarrassing yourself in public.

Simplyleo:
Tinubu's comment is about Lagos.

But citizens of online country will soon start crying over Tinubu and ragos.

But in another news, I understand no water in Enugu, what are our blodas from that side doing about it?

EmekaA125:
Desist from idiotic reasoning. Igbos in Lagos have right to criticize Tinubu and his activities because whatever happens there affect them as Lagosians or Lagos city residents.

YurFatHer:
not only in Enugu, it is the whole Nigeria that water is scarce

Beremx:
The last time I witnessed water scarcity was during my teenage years in early 90s. I can't believe Enugu doesn't have water. What happened to boreholes?

EzeNri:
Lol.

Making excuses for their fraud NBS.

NBS data don't always reflect reality. Its biased to favour the SW.

There is no way Ekiti will have fewer percentage of poor people than Anambra and Rivers. I have been to the three states and I know what I saw in Ekiti.

You can't compare a purely civil service state to a state like Anambra that is commerce-driven.

How many Ekiti people are in the civil service and how much is even their salary?

Ekiti is not industrialized and the state is not even doing well in agriculture. The government is even owing salaries.

Yemi should tell us how placed Ekiti ahead of Anambra in the poverty index.

EzeNri:
Buhari is displaying nepotism and all other staffremained mum?

NBS released a data that showed Ogun as the third largest producer of rice while Ebonyi didn't make the top 10.

When the National Extractive Industry released their data, Ebonyi made joint second position with Benue while Ogun took 15th.

NBS data always show that SW states have lowest poverty rate in country but when the government released number of vulnerable households, SW dominates in the South.

NBS always report bogus IGR for SW but BUDGIT data shows almost SW states are insolvent while only one state in the SE, Debt Office data shows SW is the most indebted region and SE the least

EzeNri:
NBS Yoruba DG had been caught numerous time falsifying data for SW.

The official poverty rate in US in 2019 pre-COVID was 11 percent.

So, Osun with zero industries and only yahoo boys has better poverty rate then US.

Poverty rate in the UK in 2020 was 22%. So, SW the region with the most vulnerable household in the South has better poverty rate than UK?

So Ekiti has better poverty rate than Anambra and Rivers?

So Ekiti has better poverty rate than Abia.

Travel from Abuja to Lagos through Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Oyo and Ogun and see the kind of houses those that claim they have fewer percentage of poor people than US and UK are living in.

SW low poverty rate exists only in Yoruba media and Yoruba controlled NBS

How can the region with the higher number of vulnerable households (SW) have lesser poor people by a long shot than those with the fewest vulnerable households in the entire country.

How can the region with the lowest income inequality in the entire country have more poor people by a long shot than those with the highest income inequality in the South.

Yoriba Bureau of Stat can deceive themselves not us that drive through SW every week.
