tax would and should take a fore front, Lagos as example tax anything taxable other states can learn from that. but overtly relying on tax can be a detriment to the populace.
think about it, after separation from the old Republic our economy may take a hit as we try and find our footing.
An Alternative to increased tax (personal income, company and VAT) should be explored.

The new Constitution should enshrine what the earnings gotten from land and mineral resources should be used for.
So politicians have no choice but to follow it or leave.

i have an idea that can subsitute for TAX but i would be om the long run. it will not directly affect the individual or companies pocket. don't let me drop it here. IDEAS ARE GOLDEN.

laudate:

I am trying really hard not to refer to you as 'daft,' but honestly your manner of speech leaves a lot to be desired. All those who responded to you, did not include a single nasty word in their replies, but you have the temerity to turn round and call them f00ls, idi'ots & dumb??! What kind of an Ov'biedo are you, if you cannot even exhibit a small bit of courtesy to those you are speaking to? Who cares if you have a frigging Masters' degree? Do you know how many degrees other people on this thread possess, or which Ivy league schools they graduated from? Respect yourself, o! Ozuor, igha gbue.

You shouldn't have dignified the hopeless boy with any response, but sometimes it is good to place some people where they belong. Just because he has a Master's degree, he is now free to open his gutter widely any how. His Lecturers in the University will not even come here and abuse or insult us.

But I've already mentioned an alternative to increased taxation - private-sector investment! There is simply no reason why governments need to be doing most of the things the Nigerian state and federal governments try (and mostly fail) to do: all air/sea-ports can and should be privatized - as should railways - and even critical infrastructure can easily be provided by the private sector, given the right incentives: for example, Tokyo and Kyoto have excellent subway systems that are privately built and run. Britain's turnpike trusts of the late 1800s - which were crucial to the industrial revolution - were entirely privately funded. People who expect everything to be "free" may resent Fashola's emphasis on PPP, but it gave Lagos a level and quality of investment that other states can't even dream of matching.

The truth is that the world is currently awash in excessive private savings looking for good places to invest, but Nigerian governments have managed to squander this golden opportunity through business-unfriendly policies and corruption-riddled administration. Just look at how Buhari's "strong" Naira policy has discouraged FDI, by preventing investors from being able to easily repatriate their profits, or how the Land Use Act of 1979 has wrecked havoc on determining private property rights; look at how badly Nigeria fares on the Ease of Doing Business rankings and weep!

I'm stressing the private investment issue because the harsh reality is that we are going to need tens of billions of US dollars in annual investment in infrastructure alone, and there is simply no way we will be able to afford that from any resource rents; my awareness of this titanic funding gap is why I warned on here so long ago that Fashola's "huge" $1 billion budget would never make a noticeable difference in fixing the problems he would be dealing with. Resource rents will only encourage our politicians in the delusion that they don't have to face this fact head on.

my bad, guess i didn't quite understand that. from this now i can see we aligned to some extent by having the private sector invest in those industries.
definitely the government needs to hand off some industries (rail, airport, mining, agriculture,ports)
the government need just make laws that will make it easy for the private sector investment.

kudos to you

AshiwajuFoward:


In my view, I don't think we necessarily have to do that. I have to admit that secessionist tendencies are not as widespread amongst our people as it is with youknowhos -- I attribute this to various reasons. However, I think it's getting to a point where even Yorubas are beginning to confront the very likely possibility of a post-Nigerian future. The least we can all do is to begin to align our orientation to this very likely possibility. It's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. I believe the theme of this thread aptly captures that shifting orientation by some of us. Only a fool would not be anxious about where Nigeria's headed with the current state of affairs.

Personally, I've always been of the view that Nigeria as a country is living on borrowed time. And that we all can actually be better neighbours and respect our boundaries as separate countries, coz by now, if we have to be frank with ourselves, the extant arrangement is simply not working, and will probably never work.

Even if Nigeria is divided into regions...do you think they'll still be hope?

I just checked my other handle and it seems they banned it cos I called out the disgraceful Yoruba sycophantic pseuds with whiskers like rats, on the thread “MayorofLagos” created…no biggie cos I’m used to it. I kind of limited how I frequent this board, after I took a long break last year because the standard of posting is in the gutter and, whenever I post, once in a while, these fleshing eating cannibalistic Ipod miscreants are always following me everywhere – with their illiterate-speak and bile/vitriol. And right now, I’m not in a place for negativity. Else, I would’ve taken it back to circa 2013/2014, by spamming pictures of their butt nak3d primitive forebears and their beloved chimp cousins everywhere. So, I just took my “talent” elsewhere to discuss the things I care about (tech, sports, hip hop, military, and international politics).

I read the thread from the beginning to the end and the cerebral contributions are insightful. I also applaud the civility. Civility in a space like this one, where there’s so much hate, is one aspect of Yoruba consciousness I need to imbibe. Then again, I’m a rah rah guy who was raised in the belly of the beast around savages – product of my environment. Regardless, it’s good to see a lot of Yorubas supporting the idea of a Yoruba country. That’s something I’ve been consistent about since about 3-6 months after joining this board and getting an inkling of Nigerian politics – ditto how the country is structured. There’s no successful country in the world that’s structured the way Nigeria is, with three-headed monsters that have divergent interests. And as the population of the country continues to grow at an alarming rate (Nigeria’s population should surpass the US’ by 2050 and the GDP of the US is about x40 that of Nigeria), despite being one of the poorest countries in the world based on GDP per capita – it’s only a matter of time before it implodes. Evidently, the balkanisation is inevitable and it’s matter of when.

Also, I’ll like to add to what those who cited STEM said. STEM is just a new acronym by the US for Science and Technology (Engineering and Maths traditionally fall under Science and Tech). In the UK: we still use Science and Technology. That said: in as much as STEM is highly important, history is also a very important discipline that a lot of black people tend to gloss over and ignore. The same emphasis placed on STEM should be placed on history, if the proposed Yoruba country wants to attain/maximise its full potentials.

Anyway, I know the North vs. Igbos is the main topic right now. However, everyone needs to vigilant about the other thing that’s brewing cos the North is going to turn on Yorubas in the next few months. BooHarry is as good as dead and the next election is in the 2019. And by virtue of position – Osinbajo would’ve to rule for the remainder of the tenure, which is basically what happened during the last administration. A wise man once said, “once bitten, twice shy”: when you put that in context of the power hungry Northern oligarch who’re the owners of Nigeria, Yorubas need to be prepared for all eventualities, once the gloves.

Thanks for the invite, bruddah. In as much as this is my last post on the thread, I’ll bookmark the thread (I don’t like bookmarking anything on this toxic board) and read the contributions whenever I can. I hope the crazy mods won’t take over the thread like they did with the “Yoruba commonwealth” one.

Nigeria right now is walking on eggshells. This thread is to put the house in order and iron out pertinent issues for the seeming eventuality of Nigeria's breakage.

And we've been advocating for restructuring and a return to regionalism for a while now.

If it isn't implemented, I see no reason for us not to secede. Nigeria is seriously dragging our region backwards. Imagine if UI , OAU, UNILAG and FUTA were getting the proper funding they deserve, then we should be dragging top 10 position in Africa.

note that within Nigeria contest the region is sitting among top 5 economy in Nigeria, now with the region outside Nigeria we should contest for top 3 conveniently.

This thread is back!!!


Yes!!


Seems like Sanity is returning to the mods.

SuperS1Panther:
We cannot be totally homogenous. We have contiguous ethnicities we have interacted with for centuries and mingled for years.

The Nupes, The Eguns, and even the Igbiras or Ebiras. Spome even bear full yoruba names as First Middle and Last names. IT is extremely difficult to take them out of the Republic. Loyalty and patriotism to the nation is fundamental and not negotiable.

People should take time to read Awolowo's book on how he was sent to prison and we should be wary of parliamentary system. Every mistake in the constitution that the North and East fully exploited to connived against Awolowo must be blocked.

My major headache is -- what do we do with the issue of Ilorin (mind y word -- not Kwara).

If you've spent a lot of time in Ilorin, then you would know that the Ilorin natives are outnumbered by Yorubas from outside of Ilorin due to Ilorin's admin status. In fact, minorities like Nupe populate Ilorin more than Fulani. In Ilorin, you can't really look at the way they dress to tell, because the Yoruba, Yorubanized Fulani, Bariba and Nupe dress similarly a lot of the time. The dressing style is more of a conservative/Islamic dress mode than an ethnic one. Many of the Fulanis are actually mixed because the only major criterion for intermarriage for Fulanis in Ilorin is shared religion (Islam). The Bororo Fulani in Ilorin are less mixed due to their way of life, and even they speak Yoruba.

Ilorin is not a battleground as it may seems, it's just that some Yorubas from SW have fallen into the propaganda, especially pushed by some very special band of bigots.
It would be very difficult to carve out an Ilorin enclave in Kwara state as it's completely surrounded by Yoruba speakers and it would be completely cut off.

Omofunaab2:




Oh, sorry, I meant to say the awujale has distanced the ijebu people from the general belief that all yorubas have their roots in ile-ife.

He said the ijebus migrated from Waddai in Sudan.. So he might oppose the name "oduduwa Republic"

Funny enough the Wadai kingdom he was referencing is largely located in Chad and not Sudan. The language connection is also flawed as the people from Wadai speak a Nilo-Saharan language called Maban which is closer to Kanuri than anything Ijebu.

Last of all, the Wadai kingdom he's trying to glorify is younger than Ijebu kinngdom. Ijebu kingdom predates Wadai kingdom by centuries
We know that the Ijebu kingdom predates the Portuguese arrival to Ijebu Kingdom in the 1400s which would make the claim that Ijebu came from Wadai improbable since Wadai kingdom/sultanate was founded in 1635. One Awujale alone cannot revise the history of Ijebu people. The previous Awujales before him did not acknowledge that claim, Obanta was always a man from Ile-Ife.

My brother, believe me when I tell you that quickest route to joining the billionaires club today as an entrepreneur is via tech. The old brick-and-mortar Oil & Gas, Manufacturing/Industry, Banking routes are still valid routes of course, but have more/higher barriers of entry. Whereas in tech, all you need is an innovative/disruptive idea or solution to a common problem, get it off the ground either by bootstrapping or seeking funds, gain some traction to validate its viability and attract more funding, and you are on your way. From the data I showed earlier, most of all those billions generated in India were via Software exports and not hardware. What's a software? They're lines of code written in a machine/computer readable language to perform a set of functions. In other words, your knowledge of that language alone can enable you capture more value than an industrial machinery would to a struggling SME.

Like bro Omohayek mentioned earlier, there's a lot of private capital out there (running into billions of dollars), in the hands of individuals and venture capitalists who are looking for ideas/individuals to invest in. But we need an enabling environment to enable us take advantage of these opportunities.
