Asana was never part of Biafra or even the eastern region. U claim a few igbos living there fought with Biafra, but it was never even part of the eastern region which Ojukwu claimed as Biafra

but u know its funny...of all the things i posted there, the one that got u irritated is Anioma ppl joining the se. One begins to wonder wat ur stake is there. U are not from asaba or se... it bcoms clear that u will never live to see igbos unite and progress

victorvezx:
Yimu, the backward south east is afraid to be alone. Lol. Keep deceiving urself. If Nigeria is to be restructured, the current states and regions will stay the same.

so u will fight to make sure asaba ppl dont join their brothers even if they want to? Lol. We neva ready to develope naija.

coolscott:
This is a wrong statement to make because if you want to vanquish them, then you have become just like them, killing people who have done them no harm/wrong.

The north has wronged every tribe in nigeria. From killing igbos to yorubss to ss folks now to mb christians. Se ss sw and nc need to unite and pull out of nigeria. We would take south taraba and dash the fulanis niger and nasarawa

front4line:
It is not Lugard that will rot in hell but Azikwe. The British clearly advice on granting the south independence 1957 the year Ghana got theirs but foolish mad n insane Azikwe claim we would rather wait 3 good year for the north to be ready so we can have Nigeria. Deluded Igbos like you should direct your curse to your tribesmen men that duly deserve them.

lol. The yorubas and re-writing history. There was NEVER a time the british was going to divide the nigeria they created in 1914. It was never on the pipeline. The east got self rule in 1957 same as the west. Wen do u think zik was premire of the east? 1960?

Regional independence never meant that nigeria was going to be broken up. Anyway 14 fools liked ur post because they like u know nothing of history

FriendNG:
If Baro inland water port is completed it will create over two million jobs to the teeming youths. It will help with the decongestion of Lagos ports. Northern Nigeria is land-locked with no single sea port, however if Baro port is actualized transportation hiccups would be drastically reduced.

Revenue will increase and millions dollars in foreign exchange will also be saved. Even the agricultural revolution will get a massive boost.

At the bolded, of wat benefit is the north to Nigeria? Most of our agric exports are from south...fish, cocoa, oil palm, casava. We dont export cattle onions and tomatos...these are wat only the north is exclusive rich at.

The north has however visited every region of nigeria including the north itself with sorrow tears and blood

slivertongue:
kant do away wit LG because minority of interest. jukums,bachama,tangale aint Kanuri

that is why the current 774 lg chairmen will become the regional house of assembly. They can fight for their ppl at the regional level

Rolings:
And why didn't he implement the recommendation of the conference he set up and wasted billions of natural on........ Don't give me the 'government is a continuation bla bla bla cos APC didn't participate in the conference and can't be expected to come and implement what they didn't believe in.
So the question remains why didn't gEj implement or at least start implementing the recommendation of the conference even though the conference ended a full year before his ouster

because it was election year and politics demanded that he campaign first to be reelected b4 embarking on a massive program like that. Be real bro

And yes govt is a continum

ehinmowo:
Is this ur idea of restructuring? Terrible! I support restructuring bt it's more of economic and security restructuring not this ur poo!

and is wat i said not both economic and security. U have not objectively faulted wat i said yet u are insulting me

Elder001:
Asaba doesn't belong to biafra.
And the current sharing formula shouldn't continue because it's a fraud.

asaba are igbos and fought alongside biafra. Who are u?

baby124:
I jaw settled in Ondo State. It does not belong to Niger Delta. Stop talking rubbbish.

lol ijaw did not settle in ondo. U are d one talking rubbish. Just the way asaba which is igboland was included in western region by luggard was also the way ijawland west of the river niger was included in same western region. Asaba and edo left...ijaw couldnt leave

meccuno:
off shore belongs to us all? funny dude. turning logic on its head. if you didnt have a country with people around that area would you even dream of owning anything whether on or off shore?

lol. If u want true federalism then be ready for wat it entails. All offshore oil in u.s belongs to the fg. Same with u.k

Nigeria has its continental water because of the landmass called nigeria. If ijaw was a country, it wont have all the offshore nigeria has. Why do u think the oil bel9ngs to nigeria and not cameroon?

victorvezx:
His proposal will cause problems and conflict. Instead of agreeing to restructure with the present regions still intact, his idea is to grab more territories from the south south to the South East in the name of some so-called igboid group. That alone will spark a conflict. The guy has the typical Ipob mentality, which will definite cause chaos.

the biggest fear of a yoruba man is to see Igboland united. If the Igbos in delta state want anioma state, why not gv them? And if anioma state is added to se region to make it equal with other regions (with d consent of the aniomas) wat is wrong in dat.

If the igbos in rivers state want to join the se region thru a referandum, why not? If yorubas in kwara or kogi want to join their brothers why not?

Who will spark the conflict? Was there conflict when mid west voted to leave the western region or wen south cameroon voted to join their brothers. How can u just restructure nigeria without giving ppl d final chance to choose which region they wanna join. Ur job will be to campaign and ask ss igbos not to join se. Their own duty will be to vote.

DaV8King:
Zo and Bia are present

Still waiting for Wa to arrive

If you know you know

Ogun kee you if you quote nonsense

is ojeifo an hausa name? Those are edo igbos

An Igboman is always loyal

Price pls

Lol. We have Benin, Niger and Cameroon as our next door neighbours, but we went all the way to Ghana which is 3 countries off our border to make our greatest African soulmates. To the extent that many ppl dont know the difference btw ghana and Nigeria.

KingOfThisnDat:
If you were President of Nigeria, the country will burn down within 48hrs. Everything you posited is rubbish.

how

Omololu007:
what stop GEJ a man from the south south/Niger Delta from restructuring Nigeria when he was in power?

because of that we should not restructure? Why did Gej have National confab?

deleo16:
I want to ask what are we restructuring I hope the restructuring doesn't favour the regional elite from North, south, east and west

1. Recognise the six geopolitical zones as federating units and order INEC to conduct elections to elect their governors. I will name the SE zone as Biafra state, SW as Odu'a state, SS as Niger Delta state, NC as Middle Belt state, NW as Arewa state, NE as Kanuri state.

2. The current 36 states will become metropolitan areas and the current 36 governors will become Mayors. I will scrap entirely the current 774 LGA arrangment. The current LGA chairmen will go to the new six state assemblies as legislators. The councilors will be dissmissed.

3. Return Ilorin and Kabba to Odu'a state. Asaba, and other Igboid part of SS will be conceeded to Biafra (to quell unnessesary agitation). Ijaw part of Ondo will return to Niger Delta state. The fulani part of Kwara and Niger goes to Arewa state. The Christian part of Taraba goes to Middle Belt state.

4. Oil found in any land within Nigeria will belong 50% to the host community/metro. The offshore oil belongs to us all! Therefore the current sharing formula will continue. The 36 Metros will still get what they are currently getting from offshore oil, while the new six states will now get what the LGA where getting before. So a state will get only the amount that would have accrued to the LGA it had before.

5. Some NPF police officers will be transfered to state service as state police. Same will be with some prison wardens. Many of items on exclusive list (such as energy and power generation) will be moved to concurrent list to allow states participate. Only defence, foreign affairs and currency operations will be exclusive. Because of this, the oil revenue share retained by the FG will decrease to give more to the 6 states and 36 metros.

6. Increase the number of senators to 115. The extra 6 will be one first class king from each of the 6 states. Such as the sultan, ooni, obi, oba of benin etc. The new 6 states will have houses of chiefs to be made up of the remaining top monarchs in the zone. Any monarch not included will be considered irrelevant and derobed.

By this, agitations will reduce grossly to give government at each level chance to do its job. Also the unaccounted waste by the current 774 LGAs will stop. The FG by this arrangement sheds power, but not enough to make it irrelevant. By this also Biafra would have been given to my people, Niger Delta would have been given to SS and Odu'a would have been given to SW.

Justanodadude:
Shut up Ogun kill you dere have you been to OOU and Eksu ..... in fact your mouth is smelly..... At this ones get light ..... Go to this schools av mentioned ask them how they survive .......

i dont get ur point and how it corelates to what i said. Or did u quote me wrongly?

ivandragon:
stopped? No.

contained? only for a while.


numerous sociocultural, geographical & historical factors are at play.


in a nutshell:

1. the people up north share similar cultures & beliefs & religion plays a key role in everyday life. Islam by its nature is a religion that seeks not only convert new followers, but to expand its frontiers by any means necessary.


2. Nigeria is located very close to the volatile sahel region. in fact, parts of the north are located within this region which has vast ungoverned spaces. it is therefore inevitable that as long as conflicts continue in the sahel, Nigeria will remain at risk...


3. historically, various tribes up north down to the middle belt have been at logger heads. its not changing anytime soon...


4. leadership... criminals & other never do wells can sense weak or compromised leadership... once that is noticed, the will pounce.

good analysis. But let me ask u. Must Nigeria remain one? Are we not too different to pursue a united purpose?

We are too large and diverse. Cant we break Nigeria into similar ethnicities and share the oil in the Atlantic according to landmass and population. Let ppl take their share and forge their future alone

This is federal govt responsiblity. Go and check if any state uni in SE is that bad

After u go wonder why we want Biafra.
Go and see fg uni in the north and see what hausa dey use the south dey do

This annoying statement thrown about by cilicmarin and other deluded APC folks calls for a public debate.

What exactly are Buhari's achievements in the 3 years?

On security:
Lol. About 10,000 Nigerians have lost their lives in middle belt through herdsmen rampage, in North East through Boko haram, in southern kaduna through ethnic cleansing, in Abuja just because of mere protests, in South East throught SARS and Military, in south south through military highhandedness and militancy, in south west through ritual killings. Where is the security?

On Economy:
Unemployment and inflation are now at their highest rate. The naira is at its lowest rate ever. Nigeria has for the first time become the nation with the highest number of poor people. More companies folded up within the past three years than at any other 3 year period. Under PDP, our moribond banking sector became a global player.
Mtn glo etc are all pdp legacies.

On Infrastructure:
Do we now have better power in Nigeria? Hell no. As for roads, Buhari has not done better in the provision of roads than GEJ. So many federal roads were rehabed under gej and yaradua. Gej also revamped the railway all over the country and started the Abuja metro and Abuja-kaduna rails. What has Buhari done different.

On Soft power:
Under PDP Nigeria Nollywood made its most progress, becoming a household name in the world. Under pdp 2face and co started the pop wave that is sweeping Nigeria till today and they got help from govt. Under pdp super eagles and falcons and the entire nigerian football industry took lead in Africa. Does Buhari even know wizkid? Or does he care? Lai muhamed is more concerned about propaganda than helping Nigeria entertainment scene grow. A lot can still be done in entertainment. What has APC added?

On Democracy:
We saw how elections were improved under pdp and how INEC became independent. We also saw how GEJ conceded defeat. Lets see how Buhari will do in 2019. He is the first president to appoint INEC chairman from his region.

On Agriculture:
GEJ did much better in handling our agric sector by introducing innovative programs. Infact Adesina the then minister for Agric was the most popular minister under GEJ.

While I aknowdge Buhari to have done good with Ajaokuta steel, Enugu-onitsha express and a lot of other federal roads, Buhari has not done enough to compare himself with PDP.
We still do not have any improvement in our lives from where PDP left us

Until the APC can leave a legacy like PDP did with Banking, entertainment, telecommunication and sports, they should stop making noise and get to work. These are the only 4 things Nigeria is known internationaly for. These and internet fraud.
A lot can still be done.
1. They can restructure Nigeria
2. They can bring back Nigeria airways.
3. They can revolutionise tech in Nigeria like china did by banning importation of all phones, cars and foreign websites, and only allow local producers to take over. Nigerians can create facebook, youtube, google and so on. Innosson cars can become govt official cars.

They should get serious and leave a well thought out legacy and not june 12 nonsense. Nigerians are dying for development, not childish lies, tricks and dìck measuring. Many African nations are leaving us behind.

Mcowubaba:

Fair game to you, everybody has the right to support who the want to support, irrespective of Religion, Country or race, it may not be very ethical or should I say justified, but your right is your right.

But I have mingled with some of these Americans and Europeans, the will never support Nigeria or any African country to win in anything even though the have nothing to lose or gain in the competition, the rather support their closest neighbour or boycott the whole competition.

It's mostly Black Africans that are quick to support Messi, C Ronald, Hazard against their respective countries, I won't say this is bad or inferiority complex, that's just the way the world is structured.

I was like you before, always supporting Foreigner super stars ahead of my people, but after my first hand experience with these folks, f%:%ck that shiit man

I may bad mouth Nigeria, may call it a zoo, but I will support any Nigerian athlete, footballer, artist ahead of any godamn foreigner, as far as they are in the same competition.

When you realise how less of a fucccck most Foreigners give about Africans, you may change your mindset

lol. You think say Tonyebarcanista sabi anything? He is one of those ppl here who are so smart that they can never learn anything new. We gave up on him longtime.

I'm sure the dude no like messi or barca reach me...but look at his opinion in the matter

1.2 million? Wetin do the car

A party of rascals. Most of them where thrown out of pdp for immaturity and greed. Today they have again shown that they were never progressives but opportunists.

A progressive party would have started genuine reconciliatory efforts after their victory in 2015 like pdp did in 1999 with oputa panel

A progressive party would have started efforts to restructure the country like pdp tried to do in 2014 with national confrence.

A progressive party would not be sectional in EVERY THING like APC has been since 2013 when they were formed.

APC is a yoruba moslem-fulani fraud simple. Yoruba christians, igbos, middle belt and south south are not carried along at all

Talk price here

Sophisticated morons are fools. Everybody knows that. They will suck buhari's dìck if he asks them nicely

SamuelAnyawu:
Sincerely the truth tho

Same way i feel so pained about the Osu caste system. I remembered strolling with my village paddy in 2004 Christmas period most of my cousins refused shaking hands with him because he is an Osu. I have never felt so much pain in my life as regards to that incident

We all really need to work on all these issues in Igbo Land.

childish lie. Osu has never existed anywhere in Igboland since I was born. Sophisticated morons should worry more about the fact that obj a yoro christian hates abiola...a yoro muslem
