How Has Federal Character Helped Your Life? by Coalition9ja: 1:19pm On Jan 31, 2018
I’m still struggling to comprehend the usefulness of our type of politics.

I’m privileged to be from Ogun state, I call it a privilege because, in my opinion, this gateway state has produced the most influential Nigerians in history.

One of the former head of Nigerian government Chief Ernest Shonekan is from my state. The number 2 citizen of this glorious country Professor Yemi Osinbajo SAN is from my mothers’ village (Ikenne Remo).

In June 1994, when MKO (from my state) declared himself president in Epetedo, he became the only Co-President in the history of our great nation. Even the richest Yoruba man on earth Mike Adenuga is from my hometown Ijebu Igbo.

With these men of timber and calibre all from my state, I’m yet to gain ordinary toothpick from them.

Or is it just me that has been marginalized, pls share your experience on how has this type of politics has helped your life?

What you're describing isn't exactly federal character since you're all from the same state.
It's more tribalism and no, it doesnt help anyone.
That's why I smh at idiots fighting for presidency to come to the south or stay at the north like it will make any difference in their lives

I think it still boils down to federal character.. the principle was inserted in the constitution so that most of the tribes can have some sort of representation in the government of the day. What's the essence of the representation when there is no impact whatsoever to the common indigene?

Don't you think the president in the person of Buhari has affected you in one way or the other?
Re: How Has Federal Character Helped Your Life? by Desyner: 9:56pm On Jan 31, 2018
It is an evil policy meant to give control to the populous and backward thinking folks. They have that control today and the Fulani issue is just one of many off-shoot of Federal Character principle.

The only Federal Character is the oppressor against the oppressed. If you talk about Federal Character, how e take positively affect the misruled Almajiri in the North?

It is not a South-North thing. It is the thieves versus the awaiting thieves. Nigeria is sick!

You're a liar.

Where is the Chief of Naval Staff from?

Where is the Chief of Defence Staff (Head of ALL service chiefs) from?

If you're unable to give a simple intelligent response, don't bother answering.

Thank you, this fellow has said it all.

There are ministers from every state, D.G's from every state, Ambassadors from every state; how has this helped the common man in their respective states (apart from family members and other acolytes)?
Re: How Has Federal Character Helped Your Life? by RicoM50(m): 12:05pm On Feb 01, 2018
all we are asking for is true and total governance irrespective of the tribe.
if it will take a younger generation to achieve this, then so be it.
enough of this reshuffling of the same people into different roles for the same purpose....
