He even proposed that Anioma people be merged with middle belt, Bornu, southern kaduna and the less, i wonder why no Anioma or delta people sees it, we cant merged with the any region that have to do with north. I am from Okpanam, i am pure Igbo, we are known as ika-Igbo.

Yoruba man and sense.

You proposed that Yoruba speaking part of Kwara and Kogi, and even some part of Delta and Edo state be merged with south west to form Western region.

But in the case of south east, you didn't propose that the Igbo speaking part of Rivers, Delta, Benue, Kogi, Cross River, etc be merged together to form South Eastern region, rather to show your true colour of hatred, you are proposing that the Ohaji/Egbema region, one of the oil producing LGAs in southern imo state be removed from South East to form part of Southern/Niger Delta region. Is it not shameless daylight witchcraft?

The only issue I have with the proposal is the request to join Itsekiri in Delta to South West region.

I think it is not feasible or necessary especially die to geographical location.

I think the proposal that Yoruba speaking people of Edo,Kogi and Kwara to join the South Western region is in order however subject to the decision of the people of those Yorubas speaking areas to decide.
The Itshekiri leaders have already assent to be joined with the West due to their mistrust of Ijaws ....This is contained in the 2014 confab reports as Well as the Okun people of Kogi and kwara state.....
It's the minority of the Old eastern region that are jittery of going back to Enugu as Capital ...

you guys are quick to talk nonsense just for Likes from your fellow riffraffs. How can a people who have been asking to leave your shithole be afraid of regional government?
Isn't it your useless bunch who keep shouting One Nigeria here and there?

I hope every region would be allowed to manage their own resources?

Oil wealth of this zoo belongs to the people of the Niger delta. No more sharing with these parasites.
Off shore oil generated revenue should be share among the geo- political zones as long as we are still called federation Republic of Nigeria.

If so, will the Itsekiris leave Delta to be relocated to the South Western region?

Do they want to remain in Delta yet be classified as Southwest Region?

That proposal is not logical and devoid of geographical understanding

The Itshekiri are located along the Coastal boarders from Delta to Edo to Ondo to Lagos .....
It's the best proposal so far ....Let people of common ancestry Rule themselves into Regions with full control while the Centre controls things like military and immigration ...Let me let you know something it's going to ignite healthy competition as it was in the past .....Once your region is not advancing you would be held responsible for it

You are wrong, on the contrary the eastern region actually prefer regionalism, and are praying fervently for it to come to see the light of the day.
with regionalism we will be able to attract government presence, because we will be able to control our resources.

If Tinubu approves this bill, regions will have their own constitutions and powers. This will make the South-East region to break away to form the Republic of Biafra, South-West region will break away to form Oduduwa republic, North-East and North-West regions will break away to form the Arewa republic, only Mid-Western and South-South regions will remain to form Nigeria. Civil war may break out again.
Biafra can not break away

says who? Both the off shore and onshore revenues belong to the Niger Delta. You can argue that if you want. Every region must control its resources. Anything short of that is not regionalism

It is subject to their wish, not going to be forced. So these people would be the ones to decide. Of course, there would still be relocation depending on interest alignment even after regions are outlined and/or separated.
Re: Tinubu To Receive Draft Bill Seeking Return To Regional Government On Friday by Schlumeinstein: 8:03pm On Jun 13, 2024
South-South is together..No part of south south will be merge to any region...Itsekiri,ijaws,ikwerre,Ibibio,Oron etc ARE ALL TOGETHER
Re: Tinubu To Receive Draft Bill Seeking Return To Regional Government On Friday by kikake: 8:03pm On Jun 13, 2024
Possibility of break up of Nigeria if north refused regional government system and fiscal federalism. At least, the north can yield to additional state in the southeast, but for resource control, I don't see north yielding. North is in overwhelming majority in the NASS due to the excess number of states created for the old northern region.

This bill seek to introduce among other things, new serious political and ethnic problems of a dangerous dimension to the already existing problems in the country.

Please let's say no to such bill.
Re: Tinubu To Receive Draft Bill Seeking Return To Regional Government On Friday by godwinngbede(m): 8:06pm On Jun 13, 2024
I will prefer we in southern Benue ( idomas) to join the south eastern region. We have a good relationship with enugu in the border and Igbos in general. More so, south east has gas, they will be richer than the south south coupled with industrialization, science and technology, trade and commerce. I even love east more than North, this is because, there won't be religious war like the way north east and north west are accustomed to. They are christians like we, they dont kill in the name of god.
Re: Tinubu To Receive Draft Bill Seeking Return To Regional Government On Friday by Redman44(m): 8:07pm On Jun 13, 2024
Mr Fapohunda, it is not easy to adopt your proposal. Too many Western powers are interested in keeping Nigeria in it's present state. The western nations know that regionalism will stop them from getting cheap resources from Nigeria. Be careful, Sir. They are watching you. Cheers.

As a governor Tinubu gave more power to the Local Government and even created more (LCDA) because he believed that is the way governance can easily get to the people although this caused a big fight between him and Obasanjo then.

With Tinubu's antecedents, I won't be surprised if he swiftly assent to the bill that will return Nigeria to regional Government but that's going to offend the Northerners a lot.
All regions will learn to work hard, instead of depending on the Federal Government alone.

I agree with you. Even parts of Ondo belongs to SS people. They better do the sharing well, unless men go mount!

In addition, they must leave our oil wealth alone.
