Ogalanyachieze: You can try to whitewash all you can but please don't insult us by stating GEJ ignored his region in favour of the north. During GEJ short tenure he made billionaires of too many ND thugs, GEJ only favoured the northern elite which he relied upon to maintain power by throwing cash at them and their interests. In totality GEJ was a failure and there is no quantifiable evidence of his leadership 1 Like 1 Share |

Gravas: If we (SS, SE, SW) team up and support a north central candidate (preferably Benue) for presidency in a post 2019 Buhari era, it will not be a bad idea. But it must be a carefully chosen candidate who harbours no mortal fear of the Hausa / Fulani like Jonathan. His agenda to qualify for the support must include restructuring. I believe it is possible to restructure Nigeria in a way that checks nepotism, tribalism, security issues, and promotes regional economic integration and progress without the stranglehold of the central government. 2 Likes |

Redoil: sarrki likes anynews that promotes his ethnic group directly or indirectly but prefer hiding under the progressive cover to promote his thoughts. Anytime the north threatens to hold on to power should GMB fail to return to Aso rock, his response is that of consciousness but he fails to apply same consciousness when the likes of GEJ or other leaders are labeled unfit or blackmailed yet he wants to be taken serious. the section of the north where mr paul comes from is the weeping child of the north yesterday, today and maybe tomrrow. GEJ had his faults, one them was the wanting to please every dick, tom and harry. GEJ did well to allow them take power atleast it is clear that they lack the capacity to lead. Tomorrow mr paul will return with the argument that the north should succeed GMB. I have said this before and would say it again: anybody thinking that the SS and NC will lay low like the SE is joking. Their marraige is what has kept the 'unity' and not some bogus claims by other parts of Nigeria 3 Likes |

Nobody worked against Jonathan but himself. He deceived himself into believing that he can change the rule of the game in the middle of a game. The arrangement is rotational presidency. He should have honoured that arrangement and he thought he was clever and people clever than him did all they can to make sure he was thought a lesson. The dullard of Daura (Buhari) did not win the election but rather Clueless Jonathan handed it to him free of charge and that is the consequence of what we are seeing today. When you make an agreement, honour it. It's as simple as that. |

sweetgala: So true. Giving free cash to the Niger Delta militants under the infamous amnesty program destroyed the Niger Delta. It promoted crime and till date affected socioeconomic life. It provided a boom for Lagos and was the main reason multi nationals relocated the center of control of their businesses to Lagos. Today Warri is like a ghost and a far cry to what it was in terms of socioeconomic life. Same is nearly applicable to Port Harcourt. The billions in dollar spent on Amnesty would have made a major difference if it was deployed towards infrastructure development in the Niger Delta. 2 Likes |

slivertongue: If you went through the dark violence visited on the SE you will lay low. No man would wish that experience even to his bitterest enemy. Igbo forgive easily and will support anyone who share same value with them. Perhaps the bandage have fallen from the eyes of most Nigerians and with it the ability to see what the Igbo saw over 50 years ago. There is no time to waste. |

sarrki: You are very 'correct'. When Jonathan declared war against Book Haram, it took a very "progressive leader" from the North to declare, "Fight against Book Haram is fight against the North". Jonathan declared State of Emergency in Borno , all the %progressives' were against him. Honestly, I love 'progressives'. they have what it takes to crash Nigeria. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Ogalanyachieze: You are very right. Their problem was not that their part of the country was neglected. All Nigerians wherever they come from, speaking like that are like childish foolish children. When a child's thought cannot mature beyond the manic selfish scrambling for the big[b]ger[/b] piece of meat in the soup. When all his emotions are governed by the size of the meat he was able to pick up relative to others at supper. When all this mental energy is invested on how he should get a nice lump of meat, next meal. When he measures fulfillment solely in terms of if the lump of meat he got was bigger than the next person's own. When he does this at age 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 60 and 70 like our current politicians How can we not see him as a foolish child indeed? Even if he is as an elderly man That being said, these are the same people that said "An attack on Boko-haram is an attack on the north" You see why I say they are foolish, who think like this? That is whether they come from the north or the south. 2 Likes 1 Share |

sarrki:They will speak and condemn everything except the atrocities of Fulani herdsmen. Its obvious that the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, is the cultural wing, the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, is the political wing while the Fulani herdsmen are the militant wing and so can not be condemned by Unongo. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

fulanimafia: How is IGR (squeezing more money from the impoverished people) alone a sign of being progressive? What progress has been made with the increased revenue to reduce the number of children out of school, which will create the pool of labour to generate future wealth and sustain the high IGR? Increasing IGR for more sharing and stealing is definitely not a sign of progress. Definitely not! 2 Likes 1 Share |

seguno2:You're badly miseducated regarding the concept of IGR. Its not squeezing more money from impoverished people but a manifestation of a healthy economic climate and the resultant prosperity of businesses amidst heightened economic activities which results in increased revenue for the state through levies and taxes in addition to revenue earned by state owned enterprises.A steady rise in the IGR realized is clearly a sign of progress and a result of progressive leadership. Situations where IGR is stagnant declining or missing (like in the case of Anambra) is by contrast associated with poor or regressive leadership and underlines the parasitic nature of such economically weaker states. If you need details of the giant strides being recorded in education by the aforementioned states I'm sure you're not too lazy to conduct your research. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

fulanimafia: Why are you bragging about your ignorance? IGR increase can be from EXPANDING the scope of taxation and levies with no correlation with any change in the economic activities of the state. That is why I said it is squeezing money from the people without adding anything to them in education of all children to generate future income. I don't need to do any research. Sanusi did the research already. 2 Likes |

seguno2:Unfortunately for you the breakdown was given and taxes made up just about 60 percent of the generated IGR which rubbishes your assertion. Furthermore there has been no news regarding the increase of taxes in the aforementioned states which further exposes the emptiness of your submission. I'd advise you to agitate for your SE governor's be proactive about boosting your embarrassing IGR and stop waiting for monthly allocations from Abuja in the most mind boggling parasitic manner. 6 Likes 1 Share |
