Asiwaju screamed true federalism all his life in opposition.. he get chance .. na to kill everything and everyone join..

Restructuring and federalism don turn lamba ..

Yoruba remains good as oppositions.. give them real power .. Somali will be smiling..

Nigerians now appreciate Buhari..
Not a fan of Tinubu but you can still submit you comments without involving 'yoruba'. It seems that tribe gives you some nightmeric experience.

Flora Shaw thought very hard to arrive at the name. United States of west Africa might be another name but it was only three states at first. However Nigeria can only work as an EU like arrangement and that is what is already in place in ECOWAS meaning that Nigeria is not necessary. It only gives opportunity for people to be President over people they see as competitors. Disintegration is the only way out

While I agree with part of your submissions, it is imperative to make a correction to one of your points.

The British never created Nigeria as a country.

The British created Nigeria as a business enterprise to be headed by an indigenous CEO/President while the British Royals kept the majority shareholding and control of the board.

If in doubt, ask yourself why is it that anyone who seeks to preside over Nigeria must first go to 10 Downing street to make their intentions known while also submitting their CVs for a possible interview and assurances secured from the applicants on how they intend to make the business enterprise more beneficial and profitable to them (the board of directors/majority shareholders)?.

To pass their interview and to be deemed as fit for the top job, of course, you will have to give them assurances of a prosperous Nigeria under your leadership.

However, it is pertinent to note that "A Prosperous Nigeria" in this context is hugely different for "Prosperous Nigerians".

While the former is what concerns and benefits them as the real owners of the business enterprise "Nigeria", the possibility of the latter goes against their dividends and hell no way you will be getting their support for the top job.

In conclusion:

If you set out to work for the prosperity and betterment of Nigerians, it would mean you starving the shareholders of their premium payouts. No serious business person dey put hand for that kind kalo kalo business.

If you say you get coconut head and want be hero by force to care for your people, them know how to take care of you. Dem get agents for even your household.

You go "chop imaginary apple" by force.

Una doooooh...

Just something to ponder upon...
If you can not volunteer even your brains and sincerity for your community, who will?. You are waiting for someone else?. One person is enough. With one person even eight billion people will become ten times better off. More intelligent, more prosperous, more beautiful and more successful but if you are running after small change like a prostitute, you won't get ahead, so also your people

You mean druggie is healthier than your father .. and your family .. and your family will never ever attain druggie level

So you mean your family will remain slave to a drug criminal

Your family mayst have been through pains
Lol. You better stop crying everyday. Focus on your development and try to bring positives to your life. Crying over mandate and Insulting your president will not do anything good in your life.

I disagree with the learned SAN. Every parent has the right to name their child. The British created Nigeria as a country and have a right to name it. Without the British, there would be no Nigeria. To discard the name Nigeria means you might as well dismember the country. That is unacceptable to the majority of Nigerians who fought a brutal civil war to keep the country together. The problem of Nigeria is not in its name but in corrupt citizens who are majority in the country.
Without the British, there would be no Nigeria...this is true. I agree with the SAN for the change of name because now we understand so clearly the reason for the British invasion, amalgamation, exploration and further neocolonialism of the indigenous peoples of this locality. It was for profits, it was pure business otherwise why would they kill so many people, why would they brainwash us with false ideologies, why would they loot our cultural edifices, why would they loot our resources?. it has been said that in the British museum are documents which clearly states that crude oil was officially discovered in Nigeria in 1881. They used the Nigerian oil to fight and win the first world war, they haven't told us this. Nigeria is simply a British company and like they say, the foundation of an institution determines its success or failure. The way Nigeria is run right now has a bearing on its foundation, why it was formed, how it was formed and who formed it.

So if we realize this at this time and we believe we can move past all this, we have to first dismantle the house from its foundations. By this i mean disintegrating the country Nigeria. Allow the indigenous people to decide who they would like to form unions with, create a new foundation that represents the people concerned...the blind spot is that we have already been corrupted by the British Nigeria and might just continue going downhill, but we can try for once without the influence of western powers.

All i have just said is possible, but its almost a utopia because the people holding Nigeria together are too strong. They are the most heartless humans on the planet. This country at this stage has no business being one country, and only a disintegration will allow people to have the best quality of life possible.

What exactly are you blaming the British for?. Is it wrong for one nation to rule another nation?. It has been happening for millennia. Romance languages are legacies of the Roman empire. The Yoruba language is basically Egyptian. They speak Arabic in North Africa because of colonisation by Muslims. In West Africa here, nations built empires and reduced others to vassal status. Are you blaming the British because they gave independence? Or for their white skin?. If you could not have done better, then it would be wrong to blame anybody. The British left a workable system and maybe the only thing missing was state police and there was an orderly procedure of state creation which was used to create the Midwest. It was the military that scattered everything and made state creation to stand still. On state of infrastructure and corruption, it is because of dependence on oil money. Many other former British colonies are successful. If nobody is ready to volunteer then the international community can not do more than what they are doing already for which they are being villified

The name Nigeria stems from the word nigger area, which is a derogatory name. From your your postulations, if your parents called you failure you should keep the name

The topic "Drop The Name Nigeria, It's Demeaning: Wole Olanipekun Advocates Restructuring" seems to address a significant and contentious issue within Nigerian politics and society. Advocating for restructuring and questioning the name of the nation is a thought-provoking stance that likely sparks discussions about the country's identity, history, and political future. It would be interesting to explore the arguments and perspectives presented by Wole Olanipekun and others on this topic to better understand the context and implications of such a proposal.
Changing the name was a useless thinking from Wale. To start with, lawyers are the problem of this country, a bedrock of corruption and all that.
Even if he changes the country's name name to Sango without a chance in altitude, it will only be a whitewashed grave.

This corrupt lawyer that is adept at bribing judges to look for technicalities and forget merit.
He is a man that refused to step down from his post as head of body of benchers when he was accused of violating rules of professional conduct of legal profession by soliciting for clients (Saipem).

Now, he is addressing us on corruption.
