After the 2027 presidential election in Nigeria, I think the next thing for president Ahmed Bola Tinubu to do is to enshrined the regional government in Nigeria.

The north, the central, the south east, south west and the Niger Delta, let every region appoint their leaders that will be in charge of the governing body.

Niger delta resources will not be used to be feeding other people's in the name of a fake one Nigeria, and it is going to be enforced by force by the Niger Delta indigenous people.

The Era of free resources is getting over.

You're completely delusional.....

I'm from the middle belt and I can tell you that every region has its benefits and you cannot independently survive as a region without other regions....

We also want the regional government so that we will start selling our crops and not feed other regions for free ... How does that sound?

The regional government is to allow each region develope based on visionary leaders and having regional capitals to allow development and standard infrastructures that will compete with the west...

Also know that each region will manage its natural resources enough to be able to generate steady revenues... This will create serious competition amongs regions...

That your Oyel wey dey make your head swell up like Garri inside water, you go soon dey drink am. Electric vehicles are taking over and by 2040, there will be no single petrol vehicle on earth. Many industrial machines too are now using electricity, you will soon start hawking your Oyel inside Lagos holdups.

But in support of your opinion on regional government, I can assure you that even if Tinubu doesn’t implement the regional government option which was abolished by Aguyi Ironsi using Decree 32 and 34 of 1966, definitely, Tinubu will devolve more powers and responsibilities and resources to the State by amending the Constitution.

Who is delusional here? Every farm product that comes from the so call middle belt... We pay for it and the money goes into farmers pocket not Government pocket... The oil from Niger delta the money Goes to Government pocket who latter distribute it to other can you see where you are wrong... If you don't sell your farm produce other from neighbouring country are willing to sell... Have you forget so quick under Buhari that farm produce trailers are stopped from coming down south Who loose
My own issue with una wey dey call yourself middle belt is that, you people don't know whom you are... When the core north want to use una head they will call una North center when dey finish using you people una go return to middle belt... Use and dump feple

@OP.

💯% correct. Yoruba Governors already bravely and unitedly agitated for this in 2021. The problem is that Nigerians are not serious people .

If we want the best life we can live, only a month of downing tools and going on strike demanding regional government, then Government will oblige.

Government is never greater than the people if a people recognise their own power and are ambitious enough to be ready to sacrifice for what they want.

Nigerians should have come out massively to back the agitations of the guys below in 2021 but they are too divided, too unserious, too unfocused and lazy to do what must be done when it must be done.

💯% correct. This is why Nigerians must support and endure with Tinubu. He is the only one who can do the bolded.

We must not elect Atiku, because he will kowtow to what safeguards the interest of the North which is always the opposite of what is best for Nigeria.

Critical thinking Nigerians will know Obi is not an option because he would be the most cowardly and most impotent man to ever be President.

Anyone who truly understands Nigeria will know what Tinubu has achieved so far is because he built many powerful and silent loyalists home and abroad that allows him implement reforms Nigeria truly need. Even in the military, Tinubu has many who fear and respect him.

Obi is totally empty in that capacity and will be a lame duck President from day one. For example, Obi will never be able to bully through tax reforms as Tinubu did given the opposition from the North.

It was Northern legislators, many that Tinubu has had positive impact on their career, who helped to carry the day for Tinubu. Obi has none. Zero. No mentees and no loyal foot soldiers.

Nigerians are not a people who think critically. This is why some can be shouting Obi. Our Nation is not like the USA where there is institutional integrity and the power is in the office of the Presidency.

In Nigeria the power is in the individual who is President. Obi is worthless in that regard. He is someone no one respects and very few will obey let alone bow for as is needed for a President to lead well in a nation full of some of the most difficult people in the world.

A Nigerian President must be a strong, authoritative and well-supported man who can tame monsters because, unluckily, we have far too many in comparison to other nations of the world. Obi is never that leader. He never was and never will be.

Op, that's what Nigeria truly need for now,each region should governed them by what they generate within.

Vast share of daily crude production is not used as an energy source.

Rather it is used in developing synthetic resins that are used from everything from pharmaceuticals, industrial solvents , plastic derivatives like what 70% of your phone you are holding is made out of.

Once palm oil was used as an energy source to power steam engines as an alternative coal and as fuel to burn oil lamps in homes and street lightning across Europe. Palm oil was in high demand but it's cost spiked higher when electricity replaced oil lamps and diesel replaced it as engine fuel.

Despite it's relegation , palm oil is today more expensive than it was when it was used as an energy source despite production output today ten times more than it was when it was a major international trading commodity.

TBTB, have realized that crude oil is too valuable as a resource to be used as cheap fuel and that's why they are searching for alternative to crude oil in transportation.

You can't even dream of producing an EV car without crude derivatives.

Its OUR oyel and its NOT your oyel.

We want regional Government so that we harness its benefits to the fullest.

We dont want our resources shared with same people that have GOLD and give it to bandits and Chinese people.

We want our Oyrl to cause insane development in our SS region.

We dont want Lagos taxation and exploitation.

Unity begging is a sin...

STOP SINNING...SINNER

Some great points. All developed nations have energy transition plans some felt they could reach by 2030 in their search for less reliance on fossil fuel.

Including the UK I've lived most of my life in. Yet, they have had to push dates forwards decades towards 2050 because the world is economically depressed and has not recovered from the devastation of COVID. This is a reality leaders are not confessing to.

They all con their people to win election but folks who dig beyond the surface know the world is in trouble.

I personally don't believe total phase out of fossil fuel, for green energy, can be achieved in less than 35 to 40 years from now.

In fact, I believe Nigeria will become significantly more important to the world because of our oil and gas endowment if we can be disciplined and focused securing best deals from a world becoming more protectionist and adversarial. Meaning oil and gas are becoming practically the most important commodities.

Even Trump's recent hijack of Maduro and Venezuela confirms that.

The US-Iran war demonstrated the fragility of the world's non-petrol energy insecurity.

I keep advising you to develop your critical thinking yet you never listen. Oil and gas must be utilised well but human resources, that can create solutions, defines life.

Anyone still unintelligently shouting oil and gas is simply at a rudimentary level of understanding what life is about.

I have always supported Niger Delta, feeding our nation, to get more from their oil and gas because I know the rest of Nigeria must regain the discipline and focus that made our definitive political leaders of old achieve so much before oil and gas wealth arrived.

With Cocoa wealth, Awolowo did so much to the extent modern day politicians should hang their head in shame.

Oil and gas wealth has been a curse to us and it is only your sort who do not understand that. We must try and return to a time Nigerians tried to be innovative and create solutions from what everyone has instead of the entire nation focusing on oil and gas wealth alone.

We created a mono-economy around crude oil. That's the main reason Nigeria is messed up today.

You all claim to have uni degrees and even Masters. How difficult is it for you all to understand we need to create a brain economy instead of you all focusing on and bragging about mineral endowment alone?

The quality and solutions-provision capacity of human resources is what matters most per the capacity of a nation to become rich and developed.

If I may add , at the heart of the demonization of crude are:

1. Retiring of the Petro-Dollar in the midst of dwindling Gulf oil reserves that would have seen Russia become the dominant oil producer with is huge and vastly untapped oil reserves . The west knows Russia will not agree to the same Petrol dollar but will want to use their new found dominance to promote their own currency instead.

2. Russia becomes the dominant crude oil supplier to both Europe and Asia.

If the Jews and Anglos cant get their unfair slice of the pie , they will ensure there is no pie in the first place.

He is not from the SS but an ibo who still holds on to their colonial mindset that SS is still part of Eastern Nigeria.

The SE have always been against resource control and up till 1999, SE have collected fat more from oil distribution than the SS based on the population based distribution.

It's also on record that SS legislators staged a walkout over Obasanjo's 25% derivative to oil producing states..

Wabara even stated plainly that "it won't be beneficial to my people".

It was when Yaradua agreed to 13% that SE politicians began lobbying Jonathan to grant oil mining license to marginal oil fields in Anambra, Imo and Abia.

Even at that, their production levels combined is not even up to what Ondo produces .

Forget that guy .

He will claim Delta North today and tomorrow Ikwere but looks at his handle and tell me who from these areas will support that nonsense ESN.

Yeah, I know he is Igbo. I just had to explain to him that his empty noise is misplaced. SS oil and gas wealth should primarily benefit the region the most and then be a secondary asset to Nigeria because we have enough endowment, human and material, to not be depending on ND oil and gas alone for a nation of over 230 million people.

It is wrong how the entire Nigeria is feeding from the crude oil endowment of the SS while pollution and environmental degradation is all that many communities have to show for their endowment sustaining Nigeria.

Ken Saro Wiwa was advocating about this very fact. The 'tool' Obi, trying to be President today, was in bed with Abacha who executed Ken Saro Wiwa.

Nigerians overate themselves stupendously. Look at how much endowment we have yet everyone is focused on oil and gas.

We must invest heavily, perhaps even the highest percentage by far ever, in upgrading our human resources.

It will produce massive returns because Nigerian human resources currently is too poor.

There is nothing wrong in the government taking the oil as it is standard practice in the majority of oil bearing nations and in Nigeria the states are paid thirteen percent as derivation percentage which is something. Most of the oil are miles off shore

I don't see a problem. Nothing is non-negotiable in life. Nigerians can talk and define their needs. That is the beginning of our march towards becoming a developed nation.

Smaller ethnic groups can decide regions they wish to align with and identify with homogeneously in a regional arrangement.

My point is simple. ND region suffer the brunt of oil exploration and commercial extraction that has negatives for oil-rich communities.

They should receive more to deal with how their communities have become Nigeria's transactional asset.

Also, it is condemnable a nation claiming to host many brilliant and educated people is focused mainly on oil and gas when we have so much to utilise becoming rich and privileged.
