Do you know that some shoes that Nigerians buy in Dubai are made in Aba then exported over there and sold more expensive.

Will Reno omokri still ask for restructuring if pdp wins 2019 election

for where, he backs another aboki named atiku

Reno you are agent of ethnic and religious prejudice. What you represent is fake. Everybody must not do the same thing. In that borno, those people doing shoe polishing are contempted with what they are doing, they do it and earn a living with it, they are not as greedy as you and other fake pastors and fake christains. Its only people like you that will deamin them and their trade. If you mean well all you need to do is to encourage them. When People like you travel outside and see oyibo people reading such trades in school, you praise them, but here you want to make those doing it to look like worthless human beings.

Why didn't Goatluck Jonaddaft restructure? Why didn't Biafra go separate and form its own country when Goatluck Jonaddaft was there? Why didn't Ohanaeze, Afenifere, Ijaw National Congress and other selfish organizations force Goatluck Jonaddaft to restructure? You all are mad to think that a Hausa/ Fulani man will scatter a structure that gives his people advantage.

General Olusegun Obasanjo (ret’d) was a former military dictator for over three years. He was also civilian president for eight years.
Why have you left him in your above wailing

If they didn't empower shoe shining, who is going to shine our shoe?
That's their own Job overtheir,so I can't blame the government

This was confirmed by the head of shoe makers association in Aba couple of years ago during an interview.


Some Aba made shoes are sold in Dubai and bought by Nigerians at very expensive prices.

So sorry for you.
Their shoe shining hustle is not intense nor is it rewarding enough. Therefore they are available for recruitment to Boko Haram terrorists and as almajiris to execute Buhari’s fatwa on innocent southerners when he loses elections, as he did in 2011!

They can never accept their wrong doing. They blame everyone for their corrupt ways. They accuse ibos of hating them but when have they ever showed care for South especially ibos? Since they took over, Nigeria have not grown one bit. I don't even blame Islam for useless behavior or their lack of civilization. There are several Muslims with knowledge. North and it's people are just cursed. They did not evolve.

you are wrong, Islam is what directs a grown up man to unirate like a woman in public with a pure water to watch their uncircumcised priick, Islam is clear on who its real worshippers are which are the killers and terrorists including everyone that does something stupid and keep the world in deliberate chaos to facilitate the coming of the prophet madhi.

The so called educated ones are only promoting the cause through a blindcard which Islam permits them to play as long as it helps (it even has a name in Islam).

Their own is to keep quite or divert attention from their members activities including defending it but never condemning it.


Don't be deceived

Nigerian youth need emancipation. We have to start questioning our leaders and demanding for equity and justice.

Aristocrats/Politicians access the National treasury either directly or by proxy and use funds meant for collective development to send their wards to the best schools in the world, then turn around and empower the youth in their constituencies with Wheel Barrows, Hoes and Cutlasses.

They are indirectly grooming their children to rule while perpetually enslaving the massess. This continue until the Hero Worship stops.

Your comment is riddled with too many errors that one is likely to think that you are one of the Borno shoe shiners. Is that what you are
Oyinbos don’t READ a trade. Shoe shining is also not a trade.
By the way, how does the monthly allocation of Borno state compare to that of southern states?
How many LGAs are in Borno state that also receive federal allocation compared to southern states where crude oil is and VAT from alcohol sales are paid into the federation account

Go hug transformer, being a Muslim is a privilege only the enlightened few can obtain. just go & keep giving ur pastor that hard earned money of yours so he can enjoy his life while you continue waiting for miracles & playing Igbo amaka on nairaland. You people can't even understand why majority of northerners dislike you up to this day. But you still cling to their home towns like say you never get youts

And Kano, he must buy.

yeyerolling:
Restructuring is a scam. The current crop of looters wud still administer the restructured nations. Meaning more money to be looted in rich states

That is why restructuring is needed.

For eg, if the job of being a senator becomes a part time one (with flat sitting allowance of 500k per month and no salary since it is a position of service and not one of self-indulgent grandeur) that can only be held by people engaged in some form of human endeavour or the other, tell me if by virtue of that piece of restructuring, 90% of those who strive to be senaators today will not strive for something else.

The resource control issue does not at all define the scope of the restructuring drive/proposal.

It consists of many tiny changes in different areas of our system that force change and improvement in the direction we want.

These changes are what many Nigerians from every corner agreed upon in the 2014 confab report and which the restructuring clamourers believe must be looked at for implementation

plaetton:
I bet this idi.ot reasoning from his asxx, has never crossed the Niger bridge, talking about Igbos not developing their towns.
Aside from Lagos and Abuja, which Igbo Town can you compare to any other town in Nigeria in terms of development, self, indigenous development ?

Why do I need to cross the Niger Bridge? To do what nah? To cross over to the erosion ravaged potopoto republic of drugs, robbery, kidnapping and prostitution. You people are all running to Yoruba land because your land is inhabitable, why then should I cross to your worthless land?

Yorubas are not shouting restructuring. Only Igbos, South-South miscreants and selfish Afenifere old rags are shouting restructuring because there is no free money which the other idiot Goatluck Jonaddaft provided then.

Yorubas are calling for Restructuring before 2019 elections or they would leave the Federation.
Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB were saying the same thing for past few years.

Glad SW intellectuals are gradually standing up and please check the number of Professors, Doctors, Architects, SANs, Pastors etc that signed the advert.

Kazim88:
PROMINENT Yoruba leaders and South-West governors, on Thursday, led representatives from the  Yoruba nation, including Kogi and Kwara states to demand a restructured Nigeria with emphasis on return to regional government as practised under the 1960 and 1963 Constitutions.

The demand was made at a well-attended summit of the Yoruba nation held at the Lekan Salami Stadium Adamasingba, Ibadan, the Oyo State, where, unlike in the past, all Yoruba groups were represented and spoke in unison about the future of the Yoruba nation within the Nigerian federation.

The clamour to restructure the country and solve the myriad of crises occasioned its pseudo-federal structure had been louder in the South-West region with prominent Yoruba leaders at the vanguard.

But at the Ibadan summit, the South-West governors, who had practically hitherto passed measured comments on the restructuring discourse, declared support for the idea as well as a return to regional administration as was the case in the defunct Western Region under the premiership of the sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

Also in attendance at the summit which participants defied rain to attend were leaders from the South-East and South-South zones who declared they were in agreement with their South-West counterparts on all issues agreed upon at the gathering.

Co-signed by the summit chairman, Chief Afe Babalola and chairman of the planning committee, Dr Kunle Olajide, a communiqué issued at the end of deliberations and read by Afenifere spokesperson, Mr Yinka Odumakin, warned that the country “is careering dangerously to the edge of the slope” and required urgent remedial actions to restructure it from a unitary constitution to a federal constitution as was the case at independence in 1960.

“Summit recalls with nostalgia, the great strides made by the Yoruba nation in the years of self-  government up until the abrogation of the federal constitution in 1966 evident in mass literacy, novel infrastructural strides and giant leaps in all spheres of human development.

“Summit noted that the crisis of over-centralisation has led to mass misery in across the country with poverty levels at 72 per cent, unemployment rate at 65 per cent internal immigration and internal displacement, security threat in form of Boko Haram, herdsmen and organised crime.

“Summit convinced that Nigeria is careering dangerously to the edge of the slope except urgent  steps are taken to restructure Nigeria from a unitary constitution to a federal constitution as negotiated by our founding fathers at independence in 1960, it was resolved as follows:

“That Yoruba are clear that restructuring does not mean different things to different people other than that a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria can only know real peace and  development if it is run ONLY along federal lines.

“That the greatest imperatives of restructuring Nigeria is to move from a rent-seeking and money sharing anti-development economy to productivity by ensuring that the federating units are free to own and develop their resources. They should pay agreed sums to the federation purse to implement central services.

“That the federating units- whether states, zones or regions must themselves be governed by written constitution to curb impunity at all levels.  Nigeria shall be a federation comprised of six regions and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

“The Federal Government shall make laws and only have powers in relation to items specified on the legislative list contained in the constitution of the Federation. The Regions shall in turn be composed as states.

“Each Region shall have its own constitution containing enumerated exclusive and
concurrent legislative lists regarding matters upon which the regions and the states may act or legislate.

“Contiguous territories, ethnic nationalities or settlement shall be at liberty through a plebiscite, to elect to be part of any contiguous region other than the region in which the current geo-political zone or state boundaries places them.

“The power to create states shall be within the exclusive powers of the region which shall be obliged to create a state provided a plebiscite is conducted, following a request by an agreed percentage of the residents of the ethnic nationality within a state.

“The procedure for conducting a plebiscite and the percentage of any ethnic nationality shall be out in the regional constitution. The power to create local governments and assign functions to them shall be vested in the states.

“That these agreed positions of the Yoruba taken today shall form the basis of negotiations with our partners in the Nigerian project for a United Nigeria based on Justice, peace and fair play,” the communiqué said among others.

Earlier, speakers took turns to submit that Nigeria, having genuflected before the gods of military and civil administration with no meaningful development for its people, needed to be steered away from a unitary political arrangement that had stifled progress and development.

Dr Olajide, in a welcome address, said the summit was put together to do a honest review of the past, an appraisal of the future as well as a telescopic view of the future

“The ship of the Nigerian State is floundering. It is in fact heading towards a titanic rock and Nigerians from all parts of the country must rise up to halt the drift. All Nigerians must speak up. Silence cannot be golden at these times and silence in this time is crime against humanity.

“This summit is not a gathering of a political party. It is not a religious gathering, but it is a gathering of Nigerian patriots of Yoruba extraction determined to give Nigeria a new lease of life. This gathering hopefully will be a breath of fresh air for a country suffocating in distress,” he said.

Chairman of the summit and legal icon, Chief Afe Babalola, noted that Nigeria witnessed its greatest and fastest economic, political and educational development during the self-government and the First Republic.

“Each of the regions was fairly autonomous and could legislate over a number of items which have today been taken over by the Federal Government.

“None of the constitutions fashioned out by the military reflects the ideals which informed the making of the 1954, 1960 and 1963 Constitutions. What the military did to those constitutions weaken the component states, destroy or impair their power to develop and sustain themselves.

“It is therefore correct to state that the military and their civilian apologist either by design of by accident have planted the seeds of national disintegration and disharmony,” he said.

President General of the pan-Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze, and leader of the South-East delegation to the summit, Chief John Nwodo as well as the leader of the South-South delegation, Chief Charles Horsefall, declared support for restructuring and a paradigm shift from unitary to a truly federal structure.

Nwodo cited the successes of Netherlands and California as examples of what would happen in the country if states are allowed to develop at their own pace and utilise the resources within their territories.

In his goodwill message, Fayose urged Yoruba elders to be wary of voices of dissent on the restructuring discourse from the South-West, stressing that the some Yoruba leaders had always constituted stumbling block to the achievement of collective goal.

“I am here tom speak to speak the truth. They can only throw away my submission, but not my person. All former Yoruba leaders, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, late Chief Ladoke Akintola and Chief Adegoke Adelabu, did their best to ensure Yorubaland attains greatness. It is now left for us to pick up the challenge from where they stopped.

“Some of our leaders are selfish in thinking and even agitation. A Yoruba leader who had the privilege to rule Nigeria failed to honour late Chief MKO Abiola. The man who died for the cause of Yoruba.

“Lets look back, I am afraid if he would not come out tomorrow to speak against what we are gathered here to discuss.

“There is no alternative, no part two to restructuring. We have to go back regional administration. One of our leaders once threatened us that we should not speak about regional government. That is why I maintain that we should not blame some governors who are absent here. There is limit to governors’ powers. The president is like a lion. If he does not want governors to speak on a matter, he roars and that is it,” he said.

“For Ogun State, Commissioner for Integration, Adebola Adeife, represented Senator Ibikunle Amosun; Commissioner for Special duties, Osun State, Ogunsola Toogun represented Mr Rauf Aregbesola, Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaicy Affairs, Bimbo Kolade represented Senator Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State, while Professor Wale Ademodu represented Mr Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State.

Professor Ademodu said the people of Ondo State under the leadership of Governor Akeredolu said without restructuring, Nigeria could be heading for rock.

“For us in Ondo State, yes, we welcome the idea of restructuring, if not we go for due process. The idea of restructuring and devolution is a great political idea but we can use economic process to achieve unity in Yorubaland.”

Forner Governor of Ogun state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel said government and the people of Nigeria must see restructuring as unique idea which today would determine the development and progress of the country.

He noted that irrespective of opposition to restructuring, it had become a national agenda, an idea whos time had come.

At the gathering were Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, Professor Banji Akintoye, Senator Gbenga Kaka, Ambassador Olatokunbo Awolowo Dosumu, Ambassador Yemi Farounbi, Chief Olu FalaeChief Niyi Akintola SAN, Femi Fani-Kayode, Senator Kofoworola Buknor-Akerele, Dr Fredrick Fasehun, Chief Gani Adams, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, Senator Mojisoluwa Akinfenwa, Professor Tunde Adeniran, Archbishop Ayo Ladigbolu, Chief S. K. Onafowokan, Chief Idowu Sofola, SAN, Chief Micheal Ade Ojo (Elizade).

Wiseandtrue:
Respect to every profession and struggle

But how many of the poor can even think of shinning their shoes Which is where the money would have been generated!

It still narrows down to the same thing we have being saying all along SLAVERY

Why you shine their shoes all your life, their children and relatives are in CBN, FIRS, NNPC or abroad on holiday, some even live there or they are in the best universities there

While your governor empower you with shoe shinning kit

Can he wish that for his children

Until the NORTHERNERS are ready to reject these kinds of leaders, until they are ready to say NO, until an average northerner can say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

This evil leaders will continue to take them for granted and the North will remain the way they are since INDEPENDENCE

I felt like crying when I read your comment. You just hit the nail on the head. Many don't know these things. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I always argue with people when i tell'em that Politicians are the cause of the doom in Nigeria. I gotta reserve my comments

Restructuring won't help anything. There's a reason why God made some animals weak for the stronger ones to feed on. You have the shoemakers, you also need the shoe shiners to make it last longer.

In the sea, you have the sharks and the remora fish clinging to it. The remora fish feeds on the crumbs from the shark's kill. If the youths of Borno feel shining shoes is best for them, the same way the youths of South East feels running in traffic to sell pure water or other stuff. Lets not condemn all these gestures.
