kels001: @ real change and co, you guys must be the most clever people in Nigeria to assertain that Edo is not south South, focus on the matter on ground and stop your blind arguement, sorry egbo mi, i'm only trying to explain why there is a protest in benin but not other parts of ss. edo also voted acn in the last election, while other ss voted pdp. there will be more things later that will show that edo shares nothing with the rest of the ss. sorry if i offended you. |

current sw should be west, while edo and even parts of delta should be south west. edo has nothing in common with a typical south south person (bayelsa, rivers, cross rivers and akwa ibom) even cross river and akwa ibom should be east. while se should remain se. naija is very confused |

edo state is not really "south south". nigeria is confused. why are people not protesting in all se plus rivers, akwa-ibom, bayelsa, cross rivers and even delta? |

Beaf: It is quite simple.
True federalism is an architecture that guarantees cultural and fiscal autonomies for all federating units. This is generally done in return for military protection, standards setting, judicial oversight etc. The federating units are self sustaining and manage their resources (mineral, human, geographic etc) and pay taxes to the center. Out of those taxes, the federal govt may extend help to needy federating units.
With the above, it is plain to see why there will be no fuel subsidies under true federalsim. Even of greater impact, will be the fact that no federating unit will be able to approach Abuja with a monthly beggars bowl for its upkeep; true federalism is an arrangement that enforces healthy rivalry, rapid growth and competition. It challenges the creativity in us and makes that blossom.
It is true federalism that has made the United States of America what it is today. They have a federal structure based on the philosophy of freedom, liberty and the "American Dream" of self-fulfiment. Contrast that with Nigeria that has a zero guiding philosophy or ideology, a country that revels in chaos. For example, what does a capitalist country gain with chaotic policies like fuel subsidies for consumption, something that is only practised by crackpot nations? What sort of country subsidises consumption, if not a confused and chaotic place? We might as well subsidise toilet roll and fanta, while developed poil producers subsidise Research and Development, defense, science and tech, education, the incubation of high tech industries, manufacturing etc. crackpots like naija. |

chima12: ^^^ bros nobody go mind them.anybody or group that wants to protest should go ahead.Some people are looking for how to bring out the SE/SS to join their protest so that they can hide behind the SS/SE protesters so that if the protest works,they will run out and stand in the front but if the protest fails,they run away as usual.We all saw how occupy lekki played/ended up pathetically.This protest will be no different.FUEL SUBSIDY IS GONE,RESOURCE CONTROL COMES NEXT. gbam!  |

dayokanu: Everyone knows who the cowards that couldnt face Abacha, IBB were
We know the cowards who preferred to be boy-boy to Balewa, Shagari, Tofa etc
We know the cowards who went to kill sleeping politicians on their beds but knew how to flee to Abidjan when faced by Military men
We all know, Its well documented yes, we know those who ran away to london and those who wept like women to al mustapha. we also know those who "shoot at things that don't move". never thought i'd ever see a Yoruba call another coward |
