It was a waste of time before!

An average hausa or fulani man will never forget his home!

There's no place like home! Ajo o le dabi ile!

A journey can never be like home!

Do you now realize the mortar shell we dodged by Obi's defeat, Kadoso? They would have used political power to try and grab the SW from us. We avoided another civil war.

Yet they never forget their home!

A language is to communicate. Will that make you want to forget your home?

At the end of the day, the people who thought they will be the sole beneficiaries will be crying about this bill and accusing Fulani and Yoruba of taking all their lands. They will lose in all areas, both at home and away because, as usual they will be outsmarted. Seems Easterners have not learned from the Unification disaster.

You are right.
Obi's major priority is the removal of the state of origin clause in the constitution and replace it with state of residence.
It formed part of his agreement with Atiku Abubakar in 2019 so Atiku also shares the evil mindset with Ibos

I think the guy has harmed his political prospects at the national level.

As deputy speaker, he has achieved considerable success and would have been in a leading position to vie for a higher office in the future.

However, the stubbornness with which he pushed the highly unpopular indigenisation bill has and will continue to put him under the spotlight for some time to come.

He is unlikely to be trusted for a higher office at the national level. At least not until his indigenisation misadventure is forgotten by people.
It can't be forgotten. Neverm

The Question is;
Why did the Yorubas and the rest of Nigeria fight the Igbos for 3 years in civil war only to turn round and say they don't want us to be one?
Why are they abusing Igbos who say they want Biafra, pretending to want a United Nigeria and at the same time actively promote division?
Why won't they sincerely choose what they want let the whole country get on with it? United Nigeria or Division.

Good move by Deputy Speaker Kalu! Listening to the people and taking feedback seriously on the Indigeneship Bill shows real leadership. Let's hope this leads to a more inclusive and practical approach for all Nigerians. #NationalUnity"
This is no leadership but flagrant misuse of position for which he is less suited.
He should cover his head on shame.

Go and practice inclusiveness in the SE first before crying to national level

He shouldn't have proposed that bill in the first place because Nigeria is not yet ripe for that.

States are mostly bound by the people of the same tribe, identity, culture and history, you don't just say someone from another tribe should have a right to lord over them. You are only calling for a brutal civil war if such right is conferred on non citizens of a particular community.
And+grabbers don't reason well

Please don’t praise him for withdrawing the bill. He withdrew it because he realized it wouldn’t pass. The man fraudulently included Faleke and a lady from Rivers as co sponsors to give the impression it had widespread appeal!

The intent is still there and we must be vigilant to protect our ancestral lands from the land grabbers!

Why did Azikiwe campaigned against having the Secession clause in our constitution?

He doesn’t have any relevance, if we’re even talking about leaders from the SE
Re: Constitution Review: Benjamin Kalu withdraws Indigeneship Bill by PDPdestroyer(m):
If this bill had passed, not a single soul would be left in SE. Even all their trees and insects will relocate to Lagos and other parts of SW

grin isn’t the answer quite obvious? Our Almajiri blodas from across the Niger cheesy they have all deserted their region and claim to deverop everywhere but their region grin
They are also highly intolerant, this bill would give Fulani Herdsmen and other Muslims legal right in their region so how would it benefit them.

Nobody is actually against any citizen of Nigeria from moving or residing and do business in any other parts of the country, but taking the rights and privileges of other people's fatherland from them in the name of National Unity is outright nonsense.

Think about it. Would it make sense for a Kanuri or Fulani man to start claiming right to become a King in Igbo land or Yoruba land just because he was born there?

He for no drop the bill na?
Don’t call him names
He has now done the right thing thing
Re: Constitution Review: Benjamin Kalu withdraws Indigeneship Bill by Awesome01(m):
Instead of moving this bill to cause anarchy. He should have sponsored a bill on changing Geopolitical zones to Regions.

With each region having its own Vice-president to manage its own affairs, laws, resources, elections and development as they see fit with just the President and Deputy President at Federal level.

That will bring in fast infrastructural development in each Region due to competition.

That bill and its Ponu sponsors/supporters were actually eyeing Lagos and Abuja as their main targets.
Thank God for Ronus' tenacity in making sure that the obnoxious bill is kpaied.

Hon Benjamin Kalu, after withdrawal of your indigene Bill, all of you legislators ought to know that a sixth state carved from Imo and Anambra states for the southeast is imperative.
