While the Commander in Thief does not even agree with the confab report talkless of true federalism..

Power belongs to the masses not one despot.

That's just the simple solution; But the North will not like this,they'll fight tooth and nails to water down this simple solution.

And therein lies the problem. Nigerian don't understand what federalism is. Why do you think we don't practice it at the moment. Nigerians are confusing it's corruptive mentality with it not practicing federalism.

Ambode is IPOB Yoot. Source: Omenka Fizznation Irunuboo and Modath.

On a serious note, guess the government will not over rule the arrest of ambode; cause federalism amount also to disintegration. He should be charge of treason felony.

“June 12 will continue to be relevant until Nigerians are given the opportunity to decide their fate in the country and that is when Democracy would have been enthroned,’’ he said.

The only northern alies are fast leaving them. The sane people of Southern Nigeria would soon team up to form a true country based on true confederation. If the western Nigeria joins SS and SE, the deal is done. The unholy union of 1914 is fast ending.

True federalism is the only structure that will enable Nigeria make sustainable progress.
This cosmetic unitary system is costing us a lot.
Our gworo chewing brothers need to understand and support this just like other Regions.

Stop assuming you know anything more than your elders. The ability to get a consensus in Nigeria is near zero without war. The only available and implementable agreement that will keep this country afloat is the CONFAB recommendations. Be it known to you that Buhari is not going to convocate any SNC and even if he does, there won't be a consensus and this will further polarize the country which will be the beginning of disintegration.

Spewing trash online because of political persuasion is not maturity and doesn't help analysis.

The structure of the government is a problem hence the political will rest squarely on Mr President and not precisely on NASS.

mrvitalis:
That is the truth, and the only way to do this is true constitutional amendment, because I read the so called confab report and was disappointed (create 18 more state, 17% derivation of natural resources and constitutional presidency rotation)

The national assembly need to raise and do this for us, only them can do this, if Buhari refuse to sign VETO him.... Let the southern cacus of the Senate initiate the process and then leave the rest for us

We will occupy the whole Abuja till that ammendment is passed... . But they know they benefit from the present system and won't want change... And now they lie and tell people to blame Buhari

We need to hold our representatives responsible and not Buhari

I'm not surprised at the ASINWIN governor's comment. He's a proverbial mother with children who was on war time food ration, and as soon as food arrived after a month long wait, she gave her own family ration to her neighbor to help feed her children with no care in the world if her children would get part of the food or if the neighbor added it to her own children. "It's egalitarian society" is a code word for we are too cowardly to stand up for ourselves and we want our antagonists to like us, so we have to do everything to please them even at the detriment of our own children'. The human in you die the day you suck up to your adversary. There was a rumor during the campaign that he has a history of mental illness, true or false no one checked it out.

Same people are calling for confab report that does not favor Yoruba in anyway. Both REGIONALISM and STATE POLICE Yoruba asked for failed to make it, yet the AKOBATA ERU AIYE helping to push for bills that will work against Yoruba. Apoda governor!

I expect a true Yoruba patriot to run against in him in 2019. The message, KICKING AKOTILETA out of Alausa.

Mr Governor Sir, now that you are in power, what are you doing with your position to push for a true federalism? It is one thing for one to know his/her problem and another thing to work towards solving the problem.

Maybe you are the one with the mental illness. Don't say what you don't know. State police was included in confab.

what are you saying? The only reason why there's delay in the adoption of this proposal is because of OIL,the North don't want to let go. Corruption would be greatly tackled under Regional rule as some may want to call it,and it remains the only solution to Nigeria's problems. Secession is never an option, but true federalism where each geo-political region would develop based on its strength,technology and available resources. That way there would be competition from all quarters and rapid change. The true change lies in true federalism.

You don't know this, but the American government has the power to control resources found in states but chose not to do so because they have corruption under control and it wouldn't make any sense because they also have an effective taxation policy. Corruption has completely destroyed the way Nigerians perceive what federalism is. Even if all the states in the country secede, they would crumble in no time because the corruptive mentality in Nigeria which has taken root in the psyche of generations of Nigerians to come. Also, every state in Nigeria has the same powers as the center to generate revenue but don't because they don't understand their responsibilities and how to go about it.

Let's take a flash back at the beginning of this so called democrazy.

1. Era of The Ewedu Fantasizing Corrupt Gorilla of Odualand.
This dude spent 8 years (was even asking for more) in government privatizing all companies, nothing to show for. Godfather of all I comment my reserve.

2. Era of The Innocent Abo.ki of Katsina (MHSRIP)
Less than 2 years, but was looking as if he had spent 4 yrs. Introduced the Amnesty Program to curb Millitancy in the Delta. The best so far, if only time permitted, would have transformed this zoo.

3. Era of the Ineffectual Buffoon of the Delta.
Spent 6 good years in office, no motor-able road to his hometown, tried his best to promote the unity of the zoo by drilling oil in Ogoniland to build Almajiri Schools. The same people turned back at him.

4. Era of The Gworo Chewing cum Kunu Sipping Dullard of Daura.
Just 1 year in office and the Zoo nationalist wants him to perform magic. Do you need a soothsayer to tell you that campaign promises are lies?
Introduction of 95 & 5%. Wailers be wailing, Zombies be clapping...

This list is incomplete, because we're missing out 2 rulers, one from the abandoned people of the Niger-Benue Trough of the Zoo, and the other, a Biafra.ud from the Red Mud Republic. I doubt these people will ever produce one due to Fulanization.

it will work only if the alliance is peaceful , south east should not involve themselves with anything that has violent undertone, that's if they will listen.
