Good and cerebral suggestions but WHO will implement all these?

Purehuman:
The western world is reaping the fruits of empowering the younger generation with skills that will keep making them competitive in the next generations. Bill gates, Jeff bezos, Paul Allen, etc are evident in our eyes today. We have been selling clothes even before Zara own it's first store. We are still stuck in the last generation with no end in sight. We have refused to do better than our fathers. Our fathers with the little education and information they had built a system that spread wealth in the pockets of millions of igbos today.

The wealth created through learning trade. This method of creating wealth has made many of our families rich and stable and unfazed with the present economic situation in the country. We have refused to understudy this system. Worst of all, we are killing the system by employing secondary school graduate on 15k monthly salary to learn the trade. This has made the spread of wealth stalled and it will have a devastating effect in the coming years.

Why will it become a problem? Education in Nigeria today do not make us self-sufficient rather it makes us more dependent on the government like other regions. We have been able to manage bad governance by not being dependent on the government. If we stop this method of wealth transfer, we will suffer a very strong blow in the coming years.

What options do we have now to avert the incoming problems we may start facing in the future? I can only give two:

1. Modify the present system: Since the economic situation and the perceived monopoly of commerce in the country by our people is becoming watered by the emergence of many players and bigger players. The government should be able to assist traders in opening a bigger markets that can whittle down the influence of bigger players who has seen the lucrativeness of this sector and wanting to take it from us. More monies should be in the pockets of traders through the creation of strategic microfinance banks. The design of our markets needs to be upgraded so that heavier products and bulkier products can be sold easily. We should embrace the internet because more products are flying through mail than going the the stress of traveling. We should incorporate online market system in the new design of our major markets in the east. Traders should be retaught about the importance of learning a trade and paying the students to keep the system going because standing alone will kill the sector we dominate.

2. Radical Change of our educational system: The present educational system we are practising in the east will make us poor next 20years. We will have knowledge but will not be able to produce nor practice with it. Our methodologies needs to be overhauled with new and innovative reasoning. Humans are like products. We need to produce real humans with content and not tabula raza. It should be noted that if Nigeria needs programmers, it should be coming from the east. If Nigeria needs the best neurologist, it should come from the east. If Nigeria needs the best civil engineers, it should come from the east. Our educational system should inculcate a level of real practical that can make a secondary school leaver capable of feeding himself from the knowledge gathered in his six years of study in the school. We shouldn't disregard many of these knowledge. Things they could have learned while in secondary school are many and we could design these things to help them in the future. Our university graduates should be experts in their field and not starter packs. It is through developing human contents that we can develop other areas of the economy.

If we handle our commercial and educational comparative advantage well enough, we will be able to keep all the economies of other states in the region on lockdown. We will be ruling their economies by proxy. We will not be able to be contained. For example, as we are having a filled market in Onitsha. Onitsha market management would have as a result of these understudy the population of people coming into the market to get products and ascertain the state the highest number of customers are coming from and create another cluster point by building another market mall there. This will increase sales, increase overall presence and create ease of doing business in Onitsha and other markets in the east. We will continue creating an imposing presence in the states and it will be difficult for us to be neglected.

While building a real educational system will help us is that, many of the projects we love to give to the Chinese could have been done better by our people with more love in their hearts than what we are seeing today. We could have built a working technological advanced system that will solve problems all over west Africa and the world.

Norway, Canada, USA, New Zealand, Holland, Australia, Switzerland and the rest are having shortage of skilled manpower. If we key into the shortage human capital in these countries, we might be able to solve it for them. Our people will gain from the improved pay and better system and migrate to such areas. This will reduce unemployment in the region.

There are many other things we can do but let me stop here and let other people bring better ideas.

Please read Prof China Achebe's There was a Country and Olusegun Obasanjo's My Command, you will see that the Midwest was indeed invaded but the stated motives of that invasion may differ.

Neither the Oba of Benin nor Gov David Ejoor of The Midwest invited Biafra to invade their State.

basilo101:
Your historical event was wrongly stated. Biafrans did not invade Midwest, they were invited by Midwest. The Binis later igbonized the event to discredit it. Your claim that ojukwu appointed igbo administrator sound mischievous since the administrator was the most qualified from the Midwest

Stating a historical event doesn't mean I am in support or I am against the event.
I am indifferent since it didn't directly affect me .

basilo101:
The igbo administrator is from Midwest. Probably the highest ranking officer from there so what's your point?

Biafra invaded the Mid-West Region/State and
Ojukwu even appointed an Igbo Administrator over them, a grave error that tiltled the delicate balance of power against the Biafrans.

Purehuman:
Biafran soldiers never invaded Midwest. Your state was just at the middle of two warring parties and we had to pass through to attack from that end. Why didn't record a high amount of bloodshed. Because if we invaded you, then we wouldn't have been in ore in less than three days of leaving Onitsha. The Biafran soldiers were told never to attack anyone in the Midwest. So they didn't. The only time that we taught you all a lesson was when started poisoning water your people brought for us to drink. You started snitching to the Nigerian troops about our position. Then we had to make you all shut it.

Stop disclosing his and his family identities on Nairaland, respect their privacies.

Boborisky may actually (genetically) be a girl but phenotypically appeared as a boy (Pseudohermaphroditism).

By the way, how does Boborisky get paid for cross-gender dressing and why is he a celebrity?

Was it God, Devil or your spirit that told you all these?

ZombieNation:
The people suffer when the wicked are in power.

Osinbanjo, Adeboye and the gang of church robbers have led the sheep astray and that is why the church is suffering.

Osinbanjo, whose only credentials for the VP choice was his fake pastoral position has not only failed the Church and Christians but also God as he continues his Judas job of betraying the church for shekels.

The money he is making under the Islamic communist govt, he will use to buy a rope and a field to hang himself.

You have turned God to an all purpose political thug whom you can send to deal with certain people you don't like.

ZombieNation:
The Shiites have my support for standing for their rights which happen to be our rights.

They have shown great courage amidst all tyranny.

God has emboldened them because only the righteous can God grant both wisdom and courage.

This is a lesson to all those Lagos-Ibadan expressway Annanias franchise who have been exposed for who they are.

Osinbanjo, a man supposedly legal practitioner and a Christian ( how Judas can one be) has shown he isn't with God from his gross cowardice and extreme stupidity.

Christians are not cowards neither are they fools. Nigerian Christians must learn from the Shiites and also churches like ECWA who have resisted the beast and came out stronger.

God punish Adeboye and his Annanias franchise.

God punish Osinbanjo the Judas of our time.

God punish all modern end times profiteering satanic churches claiming to represent Christ. Your portion is the deepest recess of hell.

Didn't you read the Premium Times report that he wrote and passed School cert in 1962 with Credits in English, History, Hausa Language and F9 in Mathematics?

HisSexcellency:
Seems you didn't get the main point of the matter, he submitted a court affidavit to inec that his WASC certificate was with the military, that it was confiscated during the military coup of 1986. He never entered the military with the said certificate, so will would he lie to the court and Nigerians.
No body is doubting the fact that he went to that provincial secondary school kastina, but he never sat for the exam as he got into the military before he could do that, and never submitted his certificate to the military

Where were you when The Government College, Katsina released Buhari's Statement of Result in 2015?

PaChukwudi44:
Testimonial will not get you enlisted into the office cadre of the Nigerian army.Besides Buhari already swore under oath he has the Cambridge certificate making him liable for perjury

And out of that #10,000 he will be spending #2,000 per month ladies to sleep with.
When you marry a GOOD WIFE, marriage comes with strength.
You are in a better position than a bachelor when you marry and hustle together with your partner.

Kirinwa:
You made sense in your earlier post but may have missed the point here. The world is larger than you think, some people are earning just #10 000 in a month and that's by hustling cos of lack of jobs. Will you advice such an one to marry?

80% correct.

excessmon:
No Ill feelings just that I feel that when you marry above 35 as a man u marry someone u can't really fall in love with because of the age difference .......u just endure the marriage because of children and tend to spend more time outside doing unnecessary things

The Principal's letter of recommendation and application into the Nigerian Army was done in Oct, 1961 but Buhari actually joined the Army and wrote WASC/Cambridge the following year ,1962.
Check you sources of information very well.

LadyExcellency:
I would've giving him a pass for a mock examination result to attest to the fact that he completed the program but it's now certain that Ms Mohammadu Buhari absconded.

Testimonial issued by the School is a certificate of being educated up to School certificate level.



Ordinary School certificate (O/Level) issued by WAEC shows the levels of your knowledge in each subjects.

PaChukwudi44:
Isi gini? Certificate without writing any exams? Are you for real?

Buhari applied with what we now called 'Awaiting results'

Many PDP sympathizers already made up their minds that Buhari is an illiterate.

senatordave1:
Your either being mischievous or misundersranding the whole stuff.the principal letter and the word ''will'' presupposes that he was writing ssce exams at that time or had written it but the results were not ready as at the time he wrote the exam.me and you know that he actually wrote the exams and may not have collected the originals.all evidences shows that he wrote wasc

Please read the constitution very well, you will see that those who wrote the constitution made so many loopholes.
In fact, you don't need WAEC to run for any election.
All you need is EVIDENCE of being educated up to at least School certificate level or its equivalents or being able to read and write and work in Government offices for at least 10 years.

engineerboat:
Is testimonial now a replacement for Certificate

She was charged with a punishable offence under section 64(A) of the criminal code Cap 80 vol3 of the LAWS OF ABIA STATE.

gidgiddy:
Even selling news papers has become terrorism for these people

In happy that despite everything, she is still wearing her Jewish necklace with pride

You see, there are three ways in which Biafra can be achieved;

1) Military ways/War: This will lead to the death of millions of people and destruction of properties but it is the surest path.
This method has been tried before with devastating consequences that still reverberate till today, so it may not appeal to many people.

2) Peaceful/Political way: This is very difficult because it will require amendment of the constitution to accommodate a secession clause.

It will require consensus, horse-trading and high level diplomacy.

The difficulty arises became it means,Igbos will have to seek the understanding and cooperation of the Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba, Kanuri, Nupe , Edo, Ijaw and so many non-igbo Nigerians.
The inability of the igbos to build formidable relationships with and the antagonistic attitudes of many igbos to these groups make it difficult for the igbos to have trusted and dependable allies necessary to make this sail through.

3) Combination of Military and political ways: a prolonged civil war lasting 10-15 years resulting in a stalemate in which both sides are now tired and agree in a round table discussion to divide the country like it happened between Ethiopia &Eritrea and Sudan &South Sudan.

IPOB's method of propaganda, street protests, abusing and cursing anyone with contrary views will not achieve anything. It will only enrich few people, lead to the untimely deaths of gullible youths and promote unwarranted hatred for non-igbo Nigerians

tossie101:
Go sleep kiddo
U know nothing

Stop this your childish ranting of calling everyone that disagrees with you Afonja or Yoruba Muslims.

I am a 4th generation Anglican.

IamAtikulate:
I am aware Yoruba moslems were happy when those unfortunate calamity happened because anything that would reduce christian population and further sharia in Nigeria gives them orgasm even though the caliphate they are slaving for banned them from leading prayers and sighting the moon.

There is nothing bad in asking for a different country in which your real and imaginary enemies or competitors will NOT be members, its just that IPOB's method can't work and its unnecessarily heating up the polity.

Nigeria can be splitted to at least 5 countries if we are serious.

tiredoflife:
Is it a must to work with Nigeria
So what's wrong with asking for another country without south west and north
Make una live together na

You weren't lamenting like this in Dec,2014 when Boko Haram bombed Catholic Church, Madalla with many Igbo worshippers dead on Christmas day.

I guess you weren't alive when igbos going to and from Abuja were bombed at Nyanyan Bus terminal.

Why weren't you shouting Yoruba Moslems in 2011 when MASSOB members were gruesomely murdered and their corpses thrown into a river in the Southeast.

You weren't this concerned when B/Haram burned alive more than 50 students of Federal Government College ,Buni Yadi, Yobe State in 2014.

* Hypocrisy, with selective amnesia is at play

IamAtikulate:
What do yoruba moslems want? Bloodshed like the one going on in Benue, Kaduna and now against Shiites. Do you honestly think history would be fair to you bloodsuckers?

Old woman,what is stopping you from conducting your referendum?

Neither the President nor the National Assembly have the power to conduct a referendum for any region of Nigeria that want to break away, so just organize your referendum and let us rest.

tossie101:
U see why I call u kid.. U don't know insult when u see one.
OK then... Nobody is waiting for ur jubrin or zoo.
Because they lack critical thinking.
We are online telling the few humans who are in the zoo.

Did you read the question at all?

We aren't talking about the Presidential election we are talking about your referendum.

Chose a date, tax your members to pay for the exercise and conduct your referendum without waiting for the cooperation or approval of the Nigeria which you refer to as a Zoo or the President whom you claimed is long dead but being impersonated by Jubrin Aminu from Sudan.

Everyone knowns that neither the President nor INEC has the power to conduct a referendum for any part of the Country that want to secede.

IamAtikulate:
So that terrorist would win and continue killing christians and shiites abi?

Yoruba moslems and bloodletting is like 5 and 6.

People like you easily resort to abuses/insults because you lack the capacity to engage in intellectual discourse.

The whole Nigeria know that as a fact.

You easily become emotional and start throwing tantrums instead of constructively tabling your points in a logical order.


Answer the question: Why waiting for the Zoo or Jubrin from Sudan, why not just conduct your referendum as the Catalonians did?

tossie101:
This same question is why I said u are a kid.

Then work to make Nigeria good instead of asking for a Biafra which is actually another Nigeria minus the Northerners and the Southwesterners.
Since 1999, you have been ruling your States but you haven't developed significantly

Bede2u:
truth is...if we had it good in nigeria, we wont want biafra. So wats ur point?

Who is arguing with you?

Be sincere to yourself and answer the questions.


Why not fix Jan-1,2019 for your referendum, you don't need to wait for the Zoo?

tossie101:
I don't argue with kids.

Nigeria was created without consultations by the British in the same way, the old Eastern Region (which became Biafra on the eve of the civil war)was created without consultation by the British.

toofit007:
the mistake of luggard is what need to be corrected. That is why we re calling for a referendum , people must decide if they want to continue with one Nigeria or not. Our ancestors were not consulted before luggard fused us together with this terrorist from the North.

Many of the IPOB guys are teenagers or young, naive and badly educated over zealous Igbo traders.

Their understanding of international politics/war/history/diplomacy is grossly shallow.

pryme:
Are you a kid? Or do you think you are talking to another kid - this is not coming as an insult.

What happened after the war when you surrendered? What did you say when you surrendered, did you or did you not denounce Biafra as one of the conditions to surrender? You are now calling it illegal, seems you have no idea how many more millions were about to die if you guys had continued your suicide mission.

Now you talk about referendum, this is why I asked if you are a kid, are you clamoring for referendum for secession or referendum for who wants Biafra, don't you know these are 2 different things?

Is it too much to show respect to these various states by asking them for their permission to be included in a Non existing country? for your information we are in Nigeria not a land with no Name, it takes more than a good artist that can draw a map to change the NATIONALITY of an entire region.

You talk about truth, guys are not even spreading lies, you guys are spreading ignorance.

The next Biafran war will not be mainly Nigeria Vs Biafrans but Igbo Vs Ethnic minority tribes.







quote author=toofit007 post=72500911]you can rant for all I care, but you see all this tribes below, we are not leaving them behind I swear with my life.
i really see you need to be educated, this is a research, carried out you can also go and carry out you in other counter this facts.

From the Research Work Of Solomon Iwejuo, Biafra land correspondent of Family writers press.[/quote]

Why not fix a date , tax your members to pay #50,000 per person and organize your referendum?
Why waiting for the Zoo or Jubrin from Sudan to give you go ahead for or finance/organize your referendum?

tossie101:
The map was wiped out illegally by force.
Kanu ain't forcing anybody that's why he is CA all ling for referendum, why is this simple thing so difficult for u guys to understand.

Anyways "the map was wiped out" according to u that's why he added them back and ask for referendum., to know there thoughts.
There is no way u will know among those people who wants biafra or not without refferendum ..
Just like there are IGBOS who don't want biafra same way there are SS people who wants biafra and u can only settle this with referendums.

IF BIAFRA LOSES OUT THEY MOVE ON WITH NIGERIA IF THEY WIN BIAFRA EMERGES.?
why are u guys avoiding this truth.

You want

1) Biafra
2) Vice President in 2019
3)President in 2003.

Do you honestly think other Nigerians take you serious?

IamAtikulate:
Afonja step aside. We are discussing family matter here.

Are you the owner of Biafra?
You are talking as if your opinions is exactly the laws/policies of Biafra.

Nasafina:
If she's not fit for any position why give her one
If she has the merit then she can contest, it's left for her, in Biafraland politicians would be paid peanuts which will make most of them abandon their selfish political career. If you have the interest of the people at heart then you work for the people.

Which hatred have we demonstrated to others as you claim
