Setaje: One million votes came from Kano alone, there will never ever be a lower vote count in Kano, that one million will always be the benchmark. Kano alone is now a voting bloc. The foolish things we do to spite a nose that then disfigures the face. Even if the Fulani leaves power today they will be fully entrenched and will always dictate who becomes king. The South has lost it, all the political gains since 1999 have been reversed or are being reversed, all thanks to the IGBOS! The Igbos cannot deal with the compromises and allowances that are required for the building of a modern heterogeneous nation state. And Biafra will be the real Hobbesian state, because where there are no recognized social hierarchies, everyone thinks he can become king is the recipe for national disaster. No wonder we have streets partitioned into autonomous communities being ruled by self-styled Igwes in Alaigbo. 1 Like |

BuddahMonk:trash, the gun you people created has turned to haunt you people and now you suddenly realized that Nigeria structure of leadership is faulty. But sir, if you want regionalism then primarily there are 3 regions. If you want to solve the problem, solve it entirely and not create another one in the process. Each of the region can split at there own terms. So why don't we call for true federalism. |

shizzle11: He did not commission any project in SE and SS and you wanted us to vote for him again, after 6years. Is that not devilish from your part? Who is whining over what? APC. APC is a party that comprises the amalgamation of CPC, ANPP, AC and renegade PDP. Those are the people whining of their spilled milk and not yorubas. Yorubas as a people have nothing to lose in the whole charade. We lost Speakership and gained Senate president. 3 Likes |

Dele, why are you crying more than the Breaved. PMB have accepted the result of the election. What happened during the IBB and ABIOLA era is about to repeat itself. I pity Tinubu and Osibanjo in this administration. The setting is going to be very funny, we are watching the events as it unfold. The evil that men sow always live after then.

JustCalMeDBoss: Noooo..you're wrong! stop being naive. The subsidy removal was badly timed. The people were not properly sensitized about the whole stuff. Measures were not put in place to mitigate the resulting impacts that will come with the removal. How do explain removing subsidy at the beginning of a new year. Why should the masses pay for the weakness and mistakes of the government for not building refineries. With the little removal, please can you pinpoint some achievements resulting from the removal? Where are the subsidy buses today? After he removal, prices of things shoot up. The masses were suffering and yet you are blaming them for protesting. The subsidy crooks, where are they today? |

Dollyak: Dollyak:Hold it! Problem with people like you is that you are gullible, hence easily deceived. Just hold on... Aworis Youth Mandate under the able leadership of Adekunle bola has asked that all yoruba of non- aworis extraction leeching on their development and resources should start preparing to vacant the state. He explained that yorubas come to lagos to feast on their resources, contributing absolutely nothing in return. "An Ekiti from his jungle village will come to Lagos to drag jobs like security and vigilante with locals, so it time to tell them all who are the real owners of Lagos. "Once the permission is sanction there will be a exodus, so it is better they start packing before the time reaches. As the say " a stitch in time saves nine." 1 Like |

shizzle11:Aregbesola performed in his first term, no doubt about it. Though, some projects are senseless and I was never and can never be in the bandwagon of his sycophantic supporters. The down turn in the economy really impacted on his government. Does he deserve 2nd term? Yes, he does. That said, GEJ did not do anything in SW and like you said in SE and SS too in 6yeats, in what basis should we them vote for him again? The north, where he was doing all the projects should have voted for him now? You can then agree with me, that there is no betrayal of GEJ on our part. He failed us and we voted against him. His action called for our reaction. Just a a simple demonstration of Newton's first law of motions. I repeat, it is Peter Obi, Ohaneze, Iweala, AkpuGA, Patience Jonathan and GEJs' mega losses. 2 Likes |

Why are yorubas hurting themselves?. They have the VP, Senate president, and Deputy Speaker. If Tinubu's wishes failed that's because Abuja isn't Lagos. |

Dollyak: @harde2lah, so if just one state in the SE opposed regionalism that translates to the Igbos rejecting regionalism Do you know that even among Yorubas there are those that are not in support of regionalism? there are Yorubas that prefer Nigeria to continue running the way it is if you don't know. The ration of Igbos that support regionalism to those that don't is high same for the Yorubas so what are you talking about? Even your lagos state kicked against regionalism, see proof below. Should we now conclude that the Yorubas rejected regionalism just because Lagos state kicked against it Conference: Lagos opposes regionalism Posted by: Dele Anofi in News May 21, 2014 Lagos State has said the idea of making geo-political zones systems of administration should be discarded. In a position document to the National Conference, the state demanded that while Nigeria remains one indivisible political entity, constitutional federalism should remain as the nation’s system of government. In the document that was made public shortly after the Southwest’s position was unveiled on Monday, the state demanded special status in addition to the extraction of local governments from the constitution. The document reads: “On regionalism and geo-political zones, the governing regions in the late colonial and post-colonial constitutions (1960 & 1963) represent the height of our national development. “Where devolved powers, regional constitutions and revenue derivation ensured competition and self-determination. This era has long ended with the creation of states. “We do not support, nor do we think it feasible – to return to creation of regions as governing sub-national units in Nigeria. We also do not recommend the creation of new states at this time or in the foreseeable future, viability and cost are two of the immediate reasons that militate against the creation of states. “There are said to be six Geo – political zones in the country – this nomenclature is unknown to the Constitution and yet it continues to feature in national discourse. “We do not recommend that the said zones as a feasible structure for government for Nigeria. It is folly to believe that the coincidence of geography dictates anything but convenience; we recommend that Nigeria should adhere to constitutional federalism which to date only prescribes states and desist from the use of zones for planning or execution of constitutional authority. “Local Government: Constitutionally, there ought to be only two orders of government, the Federal Government and the State Governments. Local Government administrative divisions should be left as the exclusive preserve of the States. “All references to Local Government should be expunged from the Constitution. Local Government creation, structure, tenure, boundary adjustments, functions and funding should remain a residual function of the states”. The State also demanded that equity should return to the revenue allocation formula prescribed for the country. “Its constituent states are the raison d’e^tre for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Without the component states, the corporate entity “Nigeria” would cease to exist. This should be reflected in a new prioritization in the revenue accruals to the nation – a prioritization in favour of the States. “There shall be two express Legislative Lists in the Constitution: the Exclusive Legislative List and the Concurrent Legislative List for both the Federal Government and the State Governments. “For the avoidance of doubt, all matters or powers not contained in the Exclusive Legislative List are residual, and only the House of Assembly of a State shall have power to make laws in respect of such residual matters in terms of section 4(7)(a) of the 1999 Constitution. While demanding for Special status, Lagos State said it was for the purposes of allocation of revenue and other resources, adding, “The equity of this demand is located in the national uniqueness and socio-economic significance of the State to the entire nation. “Lagos has historically been and has continued to be the economic and commercial capital of Nigeria. With this has come an increasing rise in the population of the State. “With a current population of over 18 million, Lagos is one of the 10 megacities of the world. The uniqueness of Lagos is now publicly and indeed internationally acknowledged. “The economic significance of Lagos is a constant attraction to a growing number of “newcomers” not only from around the country but also from other countries in the West-African sub-region. “The infrastructure in the State therefore seems never to be in a position to meet the demands of the residents of the State. The enormity of the pressure on the infrastructure and other critical factors of governance including education, health and security are now a major threat to the sustainability of the State. “Federal Government in order to sustain its infrastructure. It is on this basis that a case is hereby made for Lagos – Nigeria’s only former capital to be assigned a “Special Status”. “This Special Status should essentially reflect in a special budgetary allocation of the resources (including revenue) required to meet the uncommon demands for the proper governance of the State”. The State also proposed that the justice sector and judicial restructuring should reflect on the appointment procedure for judges of the High Courts of the States. The State’s position was that Justice and judiciary matters should be the exclusive preserve of the respective States. “The Federal Government through the National Judicial Council should no longer participate in the appointment procedure. “Also, “Prisons” as a legislative item should be moved from the Exclusive Legislative list to the Concurrent Legislative List. “This will allow States to run their prisons. States should also be allowed to maintain their own police”. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/conference-lagos-opposes-regionalism/ 1 Like |

superstar1:AreGBESE is a colossal failure, what happened to opon imoh etc? he wasted osuns money in supporting booharis election. Overall, GEJ s administration will score a pass mark, but negative media spearheaded by Yorubas portrayed his administration in bad light and sadly, many gullible fools fell for it. Coupled with boko haram menace which overshadowed his performance. GEJ had his flaws, but that was nothing compared to the negative propaganda by many south westerners The North's only issue with GEJ was that they wanted power back by all means possible and fortunately/unfortunately they found a willing support from and ever-ready slave partners-yolobas. Iweala is going back to world bank, Obi is chairman of SEC, Ohaneze never enjoyed patronage of fed govt, APGA is getting g stronger than ever. You are begining to sound like a broken record. Is it the after effect of the loss of your mesiah- tifnubus choices? Liar MohaMad is still threatening sanctions against the so-called Yoruba man-sarai...so much for Yoruba unity kpele'o omo odua 3 Likes |
