What did ojukwu went to aburi to discuss with Gowon in far back 1967


Igbo people will not kill themselves because they want Nigeria to move forward


Gowon is still alive no media is willing to ask him

Is it true that aburi accord is the same with RESTRUCTURING?

Mo3891:


Let Igbos stop boring us with Biafra, steps to take to get referendum is in the hands of Ibo lawmakers.. let them sponsor the damn bill and stop boring us with long stupid talks

Sponsor a bill or an act to have referendum as part of our constitution, get it passed and go your fvcking way, alternative move back to east and Start civil disobedience to Nigerian authority


.

Shut da fuc/k up! You're a two-faced bigot that hasn't got the balls to support the removal of the very people you despise because you know within you that your shithole Nigeria cannot survive the secession of any part, and as a consequence, your ethnicity will suffer because it leeches off of 'one Nigeria' and without it, you lot will be shown up for the useless liabilities you actually are!

This talk of '....steps to take to get referendum is in the hands of Ibo lawmakers.. let them sponsor the damn bill and stop boring us with long stupid talks' is just you crafty lot trying to buy time, be diversionary and dodge the real issues!

Assuming we do get the greedy, self-centred and 'one Nigeria' loving Igbo politicians to 'sponsor a bill on secession', is it the national-assembly as presently constituted and dominated by the core-muslim north that will grant it....and grant it based on what: the Fulani constitution we currently use? The same national assembly that out of hate couldn't agree to include AIIA, Enugu among the airports to get new terminal buildings, hence leading to the then minister Oduah seeking for a alternative source of funds to construct it; the same national assembly that couldn't agree to approve the south-east development commission like they hastily they did for the north-east; the same national assembly that's finding it hard to approve the PIB bill for the petroleum industry because some clauses in it financially favours the oil producing areas; the same APC-controlled national assembly that, in 2019, found it hard to appoint a Igbo to any top position because of the pure hatred they have for Ndigbo? This is the national assembly you expect will ratify a bill on secession of Ndigbo/Biafra? Dude, get real!

IGBOS ARE ADVOCATING FOR RESTRUCTURING.

BUHARI SHOULD PLEASE RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA NOW.

ONCE YOU RESTRUCTURE, ONLY COMPETENT AND WELL ROUNDED CANDIDATES WILL BE ABLE, ALL FACTORS CONSIDERED, TO GO ROUND THE 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES TO CAMPAIGN.

Mo3891:



Restructuring means different things to different people.. reducing executive list and increasing concorent list is very possible and can happen, everyone at this point knows the FG is too loaded, Devolution of power is possible, resource control on solid minerals is also very possible , state policing is possible

But fact remain 100% resource control is not possible most states are not economically viable b, the whole IGR of SE isn't enough to even cover wage bill and less than 60k barrels of crude can't sustain 30 million people

SE is not in a good shape right now but I believe with restructuring most state governments will be more serious and we the people will be more effective in keeping them accountable
BTW SE has some resources she can get by if Nigeria is Restructured. Eg
Enugu can use its coal to generate electricity which she can sell to neighboring states and also export to other African countries
Imo can use its crude oil to develop
Anambra, the centre of trade, and auto dealership can generate IGR through taxes and exports of goods
Ebonyi has vast arable lands suitable for commercial mechanised agriculture
Abia also has huge potentials for trade and manufacturing and also agriculture
Simply put, we will get by. Now,stop making excuses and let's Restructure Nigeria

dignity33:
Long over do, now is for Igbo presidency or Biafra, restructure can wait after Igboman become president since Nigeria are not sincere about restructure we can do it for them . I will soon join the race .

Restructuring will be more beneficial to us than Igbo president. And so you know, no president alone( whether Igbo it not) can restructure Nigeria singlehandedly. Restructuring involves changing the constitution and that can only be done by law makers.

cybernaut:
Nonsense what is aburi accord. Everybody should go their separate ways . Nigeria is not a country but geographical location and it must collapse. Ordinary revolution protesters was beating merciless by soldier who can't fight book haram only flexing muscle with unarmed civilian. Useless country created by useless white men not by God. Restructuring on my foot.

We have better chances restructuring Nigeria than " going our separate ways". RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA NOW.

kingzizzy:


I don't know how many barrels of Oil is produced in the SE but if it is 60,000 barrels, that enough to pay salaries and scocial services as long as it is the the SE that controls it and keeps the majority of the profit. The idea of restructuring goes beyond Oil, the the same Oil will not save anyone in the long term as it fast losing and will be worthless soon.

The whole idea of restructuring is that everyone should go and develop whatever he has, human or natural.

Anyone who is waiting for free oil money should be ashamed of themselves.

If it is just 1 barrel of Oil that the SE has, we shall still survive. We all survived when Oil had not been developed, we shall survive when it is gone

GBAM.
RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA NOW

Apawicked:
Your now begging for restructuring? Igbos have made up their mind. Restructure and the same terrorists being recruited in Nigeria army will still be the one to protect us? Say no to restructuring

Pls go through my post again, and this time don't read to comment, but to understand

Bkayyy:
Bia Mr OP fight your own fight and leave Ndigbo out of it, prove to the world that you are not natural cowards
When Ndigbo were fighting for Biafra, they did not ask for your help

I will like to know why you think restructuring Nigeria is such a bad idea instead of calling me an imposter.

Everybody just focus on presidency and president. We all ignore the governors, senators, house of rep members especially state because the federal are lounging in Abuja, the commissioners. These are the people we need to be flogging daily because they are close to us. Any of these people who are not performing should be dealt with mercilessly like they stole from the market. By the time we do these to about 10 of them across the country, they'll either resign or tell was why they have refused to do what we voted them for. And if it's not working for them, they'll put pressure for the country to restructure so that all man can answer their papa name. So long as the politicians are enjoying free govt money, nothing will change.

Haha You are very right. Our governors and senate representatives are not left out. It's even worse when we consider that they are our own and very close to us. For example, my Senator, was given 213m to impact the youth, which he embezzled. Nigeria needs more than just a president, we need a system that produces competent leaders in all the levels of government. Restructuring will ensure this, because they won't be able to give us the usual excuses that there is no money or that Abuja has not sent money. . Restructuring will make us more equipped to hold our leaders accountable
RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA NOW

Firstly we need to attack the people close to us. People will do jungle justice on a petty theif but hail a senator who has done absolutely nothing even after collecting constituency allowance. Attacking is the only solution. Beat anybody who is not performing and claiming to represent you. That is a way of restructuring already. Let yoruba people bear their yoruba reps, let igbo people beat their igbo reps, let hausa fulani people beat their hausa fulani reps, that way, the useless politicians won't be able to play ethnic card. Na your own people dey beat you because you nor perform. If you nor fit perform, resign.

kingzizzy:


What would be the point of sponsoring a bill on referendum when it will be the rest of Nigeria that will vote on it? Or is anyone fooling themselves that Northerners and Westerners will vote for Igbos to be given referendum?


Nigeria should be restructured, but Nigeria can never be restructured. Some people dont realise that the North sees very little difference between restructuring and Biafra. If Nigeria is restructured, and every region is controlling its resources, the centre will become weak enough for any Region(s) to break out of Nigeria

Another thing about restructuring is that in other to restructure Nigeria, the constitution must be changed. There is no such thing as restructuring Nigeria and keeping the present 1999 constitution that gives much powers to the federal government. If you see the requirements to change the constitution you will run away.

To change the constitution, not only do you need a two majority in the Senate and house of rep, you also need 2 thirds of the state assembly of all 36 states to vote for it as well. With the core North totally against restructuring and when you consider the constitutional requirements, you find out that it is easier to visit planet Jupiter than to restructure Nigeria

Nigeria cannot restructured, it is simply not possible.

Since you can't get your referendum and secession using your legislative power, what is your next plan?
Continue complaining and crying everyday?

The Aburi accord was the same thing as restructuring. It made the centre weak and made the Regions strong. When Gowon returned to Nigeria, he realised that if all the Regions controlled their resources, it would make it impossible for tye North to dominate Nigeria. So Gowon broke the agreement, abolished the 4 Regions, created 12 states and took away resource control.

Exactly the mistake the Igbos keep making everytime. Not all people are your enemies but you guys keep seeing and making everyone else as one. Present the bill, first. I can't promise you that in two, three years it would be passed but overtime, if you keep playing right, if you keep pushing for it, you'll get some friends and boom, it becomes a reality. Consider that you gather the SS, with the middlebelt (many of whom would support a breakup if you play nicely) and finally, able to gather the support of the Yorubas. It's already a wrap then. The population would surpass the north and the others remaining by the time we get to the polling booth to vote for the change.
One thing I'm certain about the Yoruba is that they are neither here nor there. It's the Ibos politics of old and the hate of the present that are responsible for the way the Yorubas are treating everything the Igbos are putting out. After all, the break away of any region would mean the Yoruba breaking away as well. No damn shiiiit to wait behind for.
I'm a Yorubaman and I don't see the reason why I should hate most of my Ibo offline friends but there are some who would throw jibe at you because they are pro-Biafran. So it begs the question, is hate a part of the genes? They make it look like the Yorubas hold their existence and that unless they go about badmouthing you and everything you do, they ain't gonn get their lives back. I see most of that online too and it's bullshit. If you want freedom, work for it, don't just sit down to talk, shout or cry about it. If you don't present it, how would you be so sure who your friends are.

We have heard this story many times, "present a bill on referendum, lobby forever to get it passed". The same reason why a bill on referendum wont pass is the same reason why a bill on restructuring will never pass, the numbers to get either one passed dont exist. Even if one managed to get the entire South and the NC to support either bill, which in its self would be a miracle, the 13 states in the core North(NW & NE) control about 40% of the national assembly. Where on earth will anybody get the two thirds majority vote needed?

Its a total waste of time

IkwerrePikin:
If all region country it’s resources, what will the South East use to pay salaries and execute projects??

Ewedu vulture.

BlueBanana:
Igbos should shift their focus from occupying power by 2023 or joining Kanu in Biafra and rather focus on Restructuring Nigeria to True federalism
I will try to make my points brief and straight to the point

1) Who Has Presidency Helped: We all know the region that has produced the most presidents( I am talking of ndi "Burn" to Rule). Producing presidents gas never been of benefit to any region. We as a people do not really need presidency to succeed. If Nigeria is good it will be for us all and if it's bad, it will also be bad for us all.

2) We can't reap where we didn't sow: I can see some Igbos Demanding presidency from APC. This is highly ridiculous as I don't see the need to demand favours unashamedly from a party we never supported or voted for. I don't think it's wise for us to feel entitled to anything from APC.

3) Do we( Igbo) have competent people in APC: Ok, let's imagine for a minute that APC decides to zone Presidency to SE. Do we have competent leaders who will deliver from here that are in APC. We have none as Amaechi, Uzor Kalu, Uzodimma and Rochas have all proven to be kleptomaniacs with our commonwealth. We have no competent Igbo in APC

4) What guarantee for we have that an Igbo President will develop Nigeria: Yes, how do we know that an Igbo president won't be as clueless and corrupt as he's predecessors?

All these are salient points which prove that Igbo Presidency isn't what we need to develop as a people. This leads us to the question, what do we then need?

WE NEED RESTRUCTURING
Yes, we need to restructure our country. As it is now, nothing is working, funds are being mismanaged, oppression and repression has been the order of the day and gross leadership incompetence has become a norm. WE NEED TO RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA TO TRUE FEDERALISM FOR US TO EXPERIENCE DESIRE PROGRESS
We as a people need to advocate for the Restructuring of Nigeria and this means that we must advocate for the implementation of the following:

1) Nigeria should be restructured, so each state will control its resources as well as revenue. This will ensure that the semi- autonomous states grow at the pace

2) The system of leadership in Nigeria should be changed to that of a LOOSE FEDERAL STRUCTURE, where the powers of the federal government will be grossly reduced to economy, printing currency, defence if the country from external aggression and international relations

3) Lawmakers should NOT be allowed to deliver projects awarded to their constituency. Rather a construction company such as Julius Berger will be take over the construction and delivering of projects.

4) States should have the power to engage in any interstate infrastructure such as Roads, railways or electricity schemes

5) Electricity generation, transmission and distribution should be the responsibility of state governments

6) The salary of every member of House of Representatives should be the Minimum wage multiplied by 10, while the base salary of every senator should be Minimum wage multiplied by 13

7) The requirement for our leaders( particularly Law makers ) should be raised higher and be made available to only educated and enlightened people that must have contributed possitively individually to thier community.


When these laws are created, there won't be need for political and tribal squabbles for leadership as each state will be left to develop at their own pace.

Also, it won't matter which political party or person gets hold of the presidential seat as they won't be able to hamper the development going on in other regions

you yorubars are the ones crying about sovereign national conference and restructuring since the 1999. Tinubu was always crying about it for eons as a member of NADECO, but since his APC party won the election in 2015, he suddenly forgot about it.

You yorubas think you are smarter than anyone here. Every other tribe knows your antics, and none will allow themselves to be deceived by you anymore. You are the most hypocritical and insincere tribe on the surface of the earth.Sleazy and dubious tribe.

That's why you present and create a perfect appeal. Not many of the north are enjoying the union too especially the Southern Kaduna and some others closer to the east. Create a platform that would be an alleviation to their suffering and see some changes. In politics, you trick and pledge to get what you want. You don't expect them to run at your proposal without sugarcoating it. You have to put up a tempalte that they would never want to let go. That's what win in politics not hate and threats.
HongKong, Catalunya to name a few who are agigating for referendum now have simmered down because it's utmostly difficuly to break away without an agreement. Even Uk had to go though the process to break out of the EU. That's the process all over the world. Even if we go to war, we would still need to come back to the table to sign the disintegration agreement because nothing would ever happen happen without it. Territories have to be marked, debt payment has to be sorted, as well as many other things. So, to me that's the way.

My point is that, it would be easier and more beneficial to us to Restructure Nigeria than for Biafra to secede peacefully from Nigeria( unless you wan to do it by force which will lead to another war we aren't ready for). Let's petition our senators and house of reps for them to call for the restructuring of Nigeria. If they don't we RECALL them.
Failure to do this and Nigeria and SE in particular will never PROGRESS even in 100 years.
