The regions were also centers of tribalism, corruption and opression. There is a reason why we have states now...and it just wasn't Gowon spiting Ojukwu.



Erm, we have had cases where people of different tribes have been prosecuted by people from other tribes. Hausas inclusive.

Plus, if we were to take your argument to its logical conclusion, every tribe in Nigeria...250 of them, would be a country or a region...so that we can have 'justice'.



And yes, she should be arrested. Plus, the same happened under PDP. Lots of PDP people committed crimes, and got away with it.

Your problem is that you want your favoured poltician to escape prosecution. Me I want everyone to be prosecuted. PDP or APC.



And under the regions there was the same old ethnicity issues, big tribes dominanting small tribes. That's a big reason why we had 1) the Midwest Region created in 1963 2) Agitation for a Middle Belt region before 1966...which later ended up in state creation 3) Issues with Biafra...where small tribes complained of domination by the Igbo majority. ....something which Ojukwu did not do much about...and which led to Biafra getting defeated eventually.

Plus, all the regions were dependent onexporting raw materials and sharing the money. That's not a sustainable econonic means of development....just like our dependence on oil. Storng nations develop industrialy.



And that is why we have a national assembly to agitate for such stuff....and why you Nigerians should put pressure on your rep to make the necessary legal changes. Sadly, a few of us do that...because Nigerians are lazy when it regards their democracy.

All that u wrote, i wasnt interested until u said, i want my favorite politician not to be persecuted. Like fucking seriously? Me? God forbid. What i hate is not persecuting ur loyal politicians. That will never make Nigeria to work.

And that pdp did it does not justfiy why apc should be doing it. People voted apc becus they were tired of how pdp was handling issues, yet apc came and continued where pdp stopped. does that make sense to u?

Any ways, since nigeria has no solution, my prayer is even for other countries to keep denying Nigerians, including their leaders, VISA.

tactius:
China , India, even Russia and the UK would like to disagree with you.

How about Somalia...98% Somali, 99% Muslim, 100% UNDERDEVELOPED.

You Nigerian's problem is in the way you percieve your economy. You think that the raw materials are meant to be sold and the revenues shared and spent on importing stuff.Stop thinking that way, and you would go froward.

And you want to divide Nigeria? You think it would just stop at Oodua, Arewa and Biafra? You think that other tribes too don't want self determination as well??

Nigeria achieved greater things when she operated a regional based system of govt. The major issue with Nigeria is that the people are corrupt and it is hard to persecute corrupt people due to deep ethnic sentiment.

I can tell u, it will be easier for the Yorubas to persecute a yoruba man under a yoruba nation, than an Hausa man to persecute a yoruba man.

Take a look at what happened under the ex minister for finance. She committed a crime, but becus she was in good book, she was helped to run out of the country. That has been the problem of Nigeria. Favorism, this will reduce when the country is structured into nations. We must not break up but with nations inside state, the northerner will not kill to be the president. The igbos will not die to be president, everyone will focus on their own region and sort them selves out. They can decide how to select their leaders there. For instance, some states do not sell alcohol in their state but still get VAT from companies that sell alcohol.

Under regional based system, Nigeria achieved better. This current system wont work. We all know we must reduce how we import goods. but the leaders u see today are more ethnic conscious than progress. And sadly, states do not have much control to develop on their own. Take electricity for instate, I know Lagos can take care of her own electricity but due to the system we have here, she cant.

Also, some states would av fixed their own seaports but due to the system we run here, they cant. FG is in 100% incharge of the waterways. The issue was even brought up at national assembly. As it is, Nigeria will only keep getting worse and Nigerians will keep running to other countries.

Continue asking silly questions.

INEC is an independent body.

When INEC sought to introduce card readers for the use of the 2015 elections, the PDP resisted it and even put pressure on the ousting of Jega the INEC chairman.

But Jonathan had the power to refuse signing that into law and nothing would have happened. Just the way Buhari refused to sign the electoral bill into law and nothing happened.

Give credit when there is one. Some people rejected it but he, GEJ still signed it into law. There were many recommendations made by INEC under Buhari but he didnt sign them into law.

Abeg my brother, no vex for us. Pls, help us complete it.

luluman:
Did I hit you a great blow? hence the digression. What has good road , electricity, transport , job or working country etc or travel out or in got to do with our tactics of wining the biafra war which is the topic of debate?Why don't you get organised & pick your points one - by one? YOU ARE DIGRESSING JOR
Go & sleep.

Oh boy, u get time? I wish to meet wit u in real life. Mehn, see how u carry this matter for head. All i see is hatred. hahahahahahaha. Baba mi, i can show u posts on my fb where i have attacked the idea of biafra okay. Lol, the person whom i replied actually understood me but u chose to be full of hatred. lol and u get time. plenty of it. That is what happens when u are a Nigeria. I av even forgotten this issue until I login here this time.

Now, let me tell u why i made my comment.

1. I said i have been wondering why Nigeria had to rely on such tactics to win a small nation like Biafra who had no proper military and airforce. Remember, the blocking of food access was the last resort by Nigeria. I was wondering why a full country like Nigeria with proper airforce and proper military had to use a last minute such as this to win a small nation. If u remember, u can see that the Nigeria govt bragged that the war wont last more than few days and they would crush out Biafran rebels.

Here is my point why I wondered. It shows u and I are not save becus if we get to into war with another country whose access to food we cant block, then we are doomed! I can see how Boko haram fight has been happening becus Nigeria can not block the food access of Boko Haram. I was more concerened why our military wasnt very effective. And i prayed we never ever get to fight a proper war with countries we do not have access to block their food supply. My brother, i am not like u. I am not sentimental, i am more interested why Nigeria had to use such tactics at last minute to win.

But it was a question becus of how Boko haram has been acting up lately. And, why are u sounding like u are fighting with me? I dont understand. U may even see me or might av met with me in real life. U may even need help or i need help from u, so why carry this type of matter for head.

U also said u are a patriotic Nigerian and that was why i mentioned i hope u are not among the so called patriotic Nigerians who are praying for Visa.

And like i said, i met a Nigerian soldier who has retired, i saw him in a terrible condition, we got talking after i gave him money. He was doing taxi driving. He picked me up during one of my journey, he said he fought in the war.

I started thinking if the war was actually worth it. I mean, wouldnt it been better if the country actually broke up earlier. Becus decades after the war, Nigeria has not solved any of her problems. I mean, if u are a human without this bias sentiment, u should be asking same question. The soldier said he was even regretting ever coming from Nigeria if after service, he would still be in this condition.

so, bro, did i answer ur questions? And, calm down bro, we are not fighting and u are not hitting me anywhere. Do u know why? I no be ur regular person on Nairaland who is full of bitterness. If u need beer, come make i buy for u All these people wey dey carry Naija matter for head sef/ That was how one of the patriotic nigerian here messaged me to beg for something after listing out how life has been so unfair to him. I couldnt stop laughing. Naija no send u o. Ur leaders no send u o. Calm down patriotic Nigerian.

luluman:
First of all we know your type: don't come & pretend to be neutral YOU ARE AN ANTI NIGERIA. Secondly: you childishly keep saying should Nigeria adopt such a strategy to win Biafra? - Would you have loved shelling of the biafrans with bombs & guns? NO must be your answer cos you obviously will be in fore front to say they kill innocent people or children. Don't act like you expect any better tactics from Nigeria, it was war & you use any method to defeat your opponent. Thirdly , why are you so worried about our method of fighting & not rejoicing about our victory? Answer is YOU are one of them; anti Nigeria.Fourth : would you have praised Nigeria today if it used a more advanced strategy to fight Biafra? No, you will still come out & say they used all their might on Biafra. Please leave us alone, WE the true Nigerians are satisfied with the method used.

Lol, I hope u are not planning to get a visa? Baba mi. I am not interested in Biafra. I am interested in a working country.. Lol I know u av never traveled out. If u do, u may even place a cause on ur creator. Calm down, we are not fighting. I just want nigeria to have stable electricity, water, good roads, good transportation system, jobs, reduced poverty, standard education, like in other countries.
