okey bakassi assumes that his audience is filled with rational human beings capable of logical thinking by themselves, of themselves.

unfortunately, Nigerians are neither. across the 200m Nigerians, one thing i have since discovered is the country is the way it is because the leaders are a direct reflection of the country. The leaders of Nigeria today did not fall from heaven, most of them virtually came from poor or middle class backgrounds so it can be argued that they passed through the same hardship that we are now passing through.

the only difference is that they know when they reach the positions of power, all they have to do is remind you of your ethnicity and your religion. in addition, they pay some urchins to come make noise on social media, they pay some others to mobilize support for them. they make promises they have zero intention of keeping and when they get there it is business as usual.

the Nigerian political class can never effect meaningful change for its people, it is not a curse, it is a fact, whether you pray from now till kingdom come. you cannot expect men and women who made their wealth from pillaging public funds to suddenly have a change of heart, it is impossible sorry. It is only Nigerians that can demand for true change but just a sample size on nairaland will reveal just how stupid and how daft most Nigerians are. go on any thread and see for yourself. in your myopia, you praise your very own oppressors. you neglect the real issues. you turn against yourself for no reason and you start to wage stupid wars on each other, doing the devils own work whilst the very people responsible for all your problems are out there happy.

the Nigerian situation has bent Nigerians into subjection and i am afraid to say religion has weakened the average Nigerian mind. to the point where asking pertinent questions about how your own government is being run seems like a crime. Nigerians are greedy and very self-centered. so far my good is own and i am okay, then God has answered my prayers and all is well. it is why same Nigerian youths who represented both parties on the delegate level, were extremely excited. we forget that everything is connected and whatever you do in this life there is cause and effect.

the only way out of this mess we find ourselves is restructuring the country, similar to what okey bakassi suggested but i assure you if 2 out of the 3 men running for Presidency are men whom we know made their money by subverting government funds for themselves then we are wasting time in thinking that Atiku or Tinubu will restructure Nigeria. they simply want access to the President's ATM, the NNPC. Obi cannot restructure Nigeria too, unfortunately the powers of the president limit what he or any of the other two can do. But atleast based on his precedent he is bound to be better than the other two.

only the people can demand meaningful change and only then can we start building an actual country.

I am Igbo young man. Unfortunately Southsouth already exist as a geopolitical zone and there is nothing we can do. Stop being scared of existing without the so called Niger Delta, it is Igbo babies like you that's always making mockery of Igbos by making it seem like Igbos or southeast can't survive without Niger Delta, please refrain from such belief.


Southeast is more than capable of surviving and thriving with or without Niger Delta. Don't force them to align with you, instead allow them seek to align with you on their own not by cohesion or force because it makes Southeast appear weak okay?

baretalk:
God forbid...South South stands on its own, it's big and rich enough...we have nothing in common with South East.

I will suggest to everyone to go and listen to Peter Obi's interviews on Channels television and Arise Tv. Come back and tell me why you will not vote for him

Difrent:
Greedy Igbos
Wan take style include south south in their region.

We have 6 regions....let each have a president.

FlashDboy:
Exactly.
Nigeria has six region...Period!
If the whole of South South were speaking one language who for near in terms of anthing.

[b]Enough of all this three region [/b]whatever.

abu12:
your father aguyi ironsi and his brothers never liked it

wirinet:
South South will never agree to go back to the Eastern region. They fought tooth and nail to leave the Eastern region and there were wild celebrations when General Gowon split them from the Eastern region.

There is a reason why we dumped regions...they did not work, and were in some ways worse than the states.

At the end, what Nigeria needs is to develop an economy free from oil dependency, and we will grow stronger.

Regions do not work. Big tribes will dominate small tribes well well. There is a reason why we have states, and we have people calling for more states.

3 regions can’t work in Nigeria anymore.

The Middlebelt won’t go with the North

The South-South won’t go with South-East.

Even a Lagos would propose to be an independent region.

The North itself would split into a minimum of 2 regions.

Greed won't allow them.Our politicians don't want to build they only want to loot.

The saying that Nigeria has 3 regions has expired.

EdwardRandy:
Mumu talk.. I'm igbo from SS, where do I belong?

oluztx:
Some of you Afonjas behave like idiiotsss. What is South South? Do realize half of your imaginary so-called SS are Igbos? I don't know what is wrong with you afonajs and obsession diving former Eastern Region. Have you ever heard Ibibio and Efik describe themselves as SS or Niger Deltans?

Thoh:
Mumu.

Igbos can never be President.


Igbos are not larger than Ijaw in size.

Tareq1105:
Don't mind them and their overrated Obi thinking that south south people are fools. It's only a fool that would allow Omo Ibo, that can never be trusted, to rule him. Tinubu would not be accepted by south west but Obi would be acceptable to south east and south south. Foolishness.

I will leave you to Remi.

EdwardRandy:
I’m from the south south and it only exists in your imagination to think that we won't join the SE any day, anytime.

EdwardRandy:
Nobody is scared bro. I am igbo from SS, the so called Niger Delta, why should I listen to an isoko or ijaw man and go with some stupid niger delta republic? If the division will contain all the igbos carved into Edo, Delta, rivers, Benue, as one with the SE then no cause for alarm. The ijaw and co can go fvck themselves with their new republic.

Please let's avoid anyone making we igbos in SS a minority in a new country.

SARSCoV2:
You are in your own world of illusions!

You probably hearing about all states in Nigeria on Nairaland! I worked in those 36 states in Nigeria before I took my expertise outside the shores.

I could tell you how the “Whole” majority tribes in Nigeria behave.

Ikwerre man will never get orders from am Ibo man.

Itsekiri, will never get orders from an Ijaw man, he will rather create a world he owns.

Ebonyi knows they are the least Igbos, in affairs of Biafra, they know they don’t have a say. Just like an Etche man in Rivers, he is as good as useless!

franchasofficia:
Because one useless man called Dave Umahi said so to whip sentiments from Ebonyi people.



So Anyim Pius Anyim an Ebonyi man that became Senate President under Igbos mandate during Obasanjo tenure is what?


So Ogbonnaya Onu from Ebonyi that became the first civilian Governor of Abia State when Ebonyi and Abia were still together is what again?



Some of you are just so myopic and gullible you allow some selfish politicians to deceive you into believing nonsense.



Go and check the history of Biafra war, Biafra had great Igbo warlords from Ebonyi, Delta, Rivers, and our Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers brothers were also at the frontline and they never denied being Biafra, so please go and sit down.



For your information, Philip Effiong a man from Akwa Ibom was The Vice President of Biafra. Mr Edet from Akwa Ibom was Nigeria's first Inspector General of Police and it was Nnamdi Azikiwe and other top Igbo politicians that helped him to clinch that so stop your nonsense divide and rule, the wise people from Niger Delta know their best friend and their enemies

Well there are more than 6
in the South there should be West , Midwest. East (Iboes) Akwa Cross and Rivers/Bayelsa
Also the North Central zone should be at least 3 regions.
Regions do not have to be Equal in representation at the centre .

South South and North Central are artificial .


Edo has no business with Akwa Ibom and Kwara has no business with Plateau .
Those zones were created for the convenience of the majority groups
We once had 12 states and should look at that we probably should have about 20 subnational entities whether you call them regions or whatever
Once you create regions the regions should be at liberty to create as many states as they like as long as that changes nothing at the centre in terms of federal allocation or representation
