philips70:I actually believe that GEJ is an insincere chap who will say anything to get his way. The fact is that he merely talked the talk whereas his actions and body language revealed that GEJ is not a genuine advocate of genuine federalism or devolution of power. He did nothing at all to promote the agitation for greater independence and autonomy for States and regions. He never acted to reverse the harmful trend where the center is suffused with money and wasteful governance to the detriment of the nation. His ten airplane largess, maintained with many billions annually, is indicative of his mindset that those who control the center must enjoy garish opulence whereas a true believer of fair distribution/devolution of wealth/power will feel the center should lead by example by shedding some excesses and donating such to other tiers of the federation. He said "Nigeria not ripe for State policing" yet did nothing to reform what we have to turn the NPF into a modern,efficient and independent security institution. Instead, as with other PDP Presidents, GEJ preferred to keep the NPF in a state of servitude and stupor for the benefit of himself and his Party. This is a man who enjoys openly compromising our Armed forces (Army, NPF et al) and other security agencies (DSS for example). How will such a leader then ever hanker for genuine federalism which may then feature reformed institutions he would not be able to influence partisanly, for his own agenda, from Aso Rock? Everything Jonathan did shows he leans towards a Federal Government that is inordinately powerful at the expense of other tiers of the federation. If this thread was opened by a supporter of Buhari then I will engage in productive discussion with the OP. When OP is a fervent supporter of GEJ, silent previously about all he now demands today, then I have nothing to say but "hypocrite alert". |

Whynotthetruth:Same way nobody will ever be President without permission from the South. It's a two way thing so stop playing the victim card. |

@Whynotthetruth, this is a beautiful, thought-provoking masterpiece you got up there. Ab initio, there was a Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria. The Colonialists saw the coming disintegration from Northern Nigeria especially the likely rebellion from Northern minority and as well saw the strong cohesion from Southern Nigeria and something needed to be done. Hence, the story of how Nigeria became an artificial creation of the British by perpetualy creating the Northern Hegemony over us all. |

Whynotthetruth:Well...Did Rochas really loot his state dry or these are just some accusations borne out of sentiments? I would want citizens at this moment hold on to the anti-corruption crusade of GMB and ask for an all encompassing probe of everyone who have been in government recently. If Rochas or anyone is found guilty they should be punished accordingly and our monies retrieved. It is something that can be done, it just needs the voice of everyone and not all this ethnic jingo going on here and there. Question is if Goodluck won this elections will we still be asking for all these? It all looks like subtle escape and amnesty for all those who just looted the country dry. |

Whynotthetruth:Nigeria is geopolitically divided as it fits the narrative of the moment. Sometimes there's just north vs south, sometimes its north, south, and east, and so on. The military dictators of whom you gripe about have only 3 from the socalled core north. The rest were from the north central (or middle belt, when convenient). Our political history has always laid the failures of political leadership on the heads of the military rulers, so when democracy came about in 1999 we thought that finally we've got the chance to make things right. Its 2015 now, and we've been running a democracy for16 years. In those 16 years, the south has ruled for 14years. 14 years is more than enough time to put so many things right. So the failure of this democracy, these wasted 14 years, these endless series of social, economic, and political problems are rooted in southern misrule. The perennial whipping boy, the "aboki", should not be held responsible for your perceived woes. Its now up to you to convince us how GEJ was a blessing to the south (or ss/se, as is the trend now) beyond the morsels of federal appointments you find so insulting. |

Mynd44:Regionalizing and tribalising the country is not the same thing. Why must SW equate to Yoruba and SE Igbo? That's the mistake we keep making in this country. Regionalism is just a way for regions (not tribes ) to control what is in their territory and whatever is gotten from it will be for everyone who lives in that region. |

Whynotthetruth:you are welcome but as much as I love Jonathan, he played the tribal politics and the North capitalised on that..as I said...the big question... how does the South come together politically?a million pound question... . |

Mynd44:Mr Mynd you are arguing for and against. You said Nigeria cannot be regionalized- a good point and he countered it, and then you came up with this point qouted. Can't you see in the quoted that there is bias for regionalism in your post? Also, according to history books Nigeria witnessed massive growth during the era of regional govt.are you going to disprove or shed more light on that? |
