Since when did the opinion of one man become the most important that one could record in his head donkey years after it was said? After that statement, Obasanjo and Jonathan from the South have ruled us contrary to the failed prophecy by Ahmadu Bello. I believe a people deserve the right to self rule, if they want to secede, a referendum should be carried out and majority should carry the day but what I don't accept is the manner of the propaganda and bloodshed threat,"people who have seen war never pray for war.

PoliticsRe: DSS Arrests Radio Biafra Engineer by shortgun(m): 10:54am On Jul 17, 2015
According to 2012 United States factsheet, Nigeria has 250 ethnic groups. The most populous and politically influential include: Hausa and Fulani 29%, Yoruba 21%, Igbo (Ibo) 18%, Ijaw 10%, Kanuri 4%, Ibibio 3.5%, Tiv 2.5%. https:// www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ ni.html
Looking at the Nigeria political structure especially that of the legislative arm (House of Representatives and Senate), I can't help but question the motive for the numerical advantage in favour of the combined North, and disadvantage in the side of the SS/SE. The whole South East was allocated just 43 Seats in the House of Representative despite that fact that the Igbo ethnic group that dominated the SE is one of the three largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. Whereas North West alone has 92 Seats and South West 71 Seats. Please read below and do comparison with multi- ethnic countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Kosovo (below) Nigeria Federal House of Representative (360 Seats) North-West : Kaduna (16), Kebbi [8], Zamfara (7) , Sokoto (11), Kano (24) , Jigawa (11) and Katsina State (15). Total: 92 North-East : Taraba (6), Borno (10), Bauchi (12), Adamawa [8], Gombe (6) and Yobe State (6). Total: 48 North Central: Kogi (9), Niger (10), Benue (11), Kwara (6), Plateau [8], Nassarawa (5) + FCT -2 Total: 49 + 2 =51 South-West : Oyo (14), Ogun (9), Lagos (24) , Ekiti(6), Ondo (9) and Osun State (9). Total:71 South-Easts : Ebonyi (6) Enugu [8], Imo (10), Abia [8] and Anambra State (11). Total: 43 South-South : Akwa-Ibom (10), Bayelsa (5), Edo (9), Cross River [8], Rivers (13) and Delta State (10). Total: 55 NW + NE= 140 Seats NW + NE + NC = 191 Seats SW (alone) = 71 Seats SS + SE= 98 Seats Senate (109 Seats) North West: 3x7 = 21 Seats, North East: 3x6 = 18 Seats, North Central + FCT: (3x6) + 1= 19 Seats Total North= 58 South South: 3x6 = 18 and South East: 3x5 = 15 Total SE/SS = 33 South West: 3x6 = 18, Comparing Nigeria's Situation With Bosnia and Kosovo
1. Bosnia and Herzegovina Bosnia and Herzegovina is home to three ethnic "constituent peoples": Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats. Ethnically, according to data from 2000 cited by the Central Intelligence Agency, Bosniaks constitute 48% of the population, Serbs 37.1%, Croats 14.3%, and others form 0.6%. House of People (Senate) With 15 Seats Bosniaks: 5 Seats Croats: 5 Seats Serbs: 5 Seats House of Representative With 42 Seats Bosniaks: 14 Croats: 14 Serbs: 14 https://www.parlament.ba/default.aspx?langTag=en- US&pril=b
Despite having a whopping 48%, the Bosniaks for the sake of Political Justice and Equity agreed with the Serb (37%) and the Croats (17%) to share every seat in both parliament equally. This is equity and justice!
2. Republic of KOSOVO Kosovo is an European state with Albanian majority. According to Records, Ethnic Albanians forms 88% of the population, Serbs 7%, other 5% (Bosniak, Gorani, Roma, Turk, Ashkali, Egyptian, Janjevci – Croats) http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Kosovo#Demographics Assembly of Kosovo
The Kosovo Assembly has 120 Members, to recognise the 12% minorities, the country reserved 20 Seats (ie 24%) for the Minorities while the rest 100 can be contested for by anybody. Of the 20 Specially reserved seats, 10 is for Serbs (despite having just 7% of the population), 4 seats for the representatives of the Romani, Ashkali and Egyptians. 3 seats for the Bosniaks, 2 seats for the Turks and 1 seat for the Gorans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Assembly_of_Kosovo
This is a country that the 88% Albanian Majority respect/ recognize the right of the 12% ethnic Minorities that it specially reserved 20 Seats for the Minorities. Equity Or Inequality?
Should we continue to deceive ourselves by holding the opinion that the Nigeria situation is "equity"? Won't it be justified to call for an overhaul of the system and institute a structure that could be deemed and justified in any sane clime if we are to move forward as a people in this arrangement called Nigeria? I believe that a call to address this lopsided "allocation" will be a patriotic one.

FoodWhat Is The Name Of This Fruit (pictures) by shortgun(op): 10:00pm On Jul 09, 2015
Hello house,
on my way back from work today I saw a fruit that really caught my attention, I asked the girl selling it for the name and what it's used for but she seems to have no clue. I decided to buy the fruit anyway cos it looked edible.
When I got home I asked everyone in the house if they know the fruit but all I got was guesses.

I showed my friend from the North the picture and he told me that the fruit is called "sweet melon" and that it's edible.
But am still not convinced.

Hello shortgun
What is the aim of your project?



Great suggestions guys.
We are building an architectural water fountain.
The fountain will require submersible LED lights (30 in number)
As you know we will not use high Voltage light units underwater for safety reasons ;so we are making use of 12V 30w waterproof LED lights

Thanks for your interest.

Queed:
Ehmmm.. it would be better and more efficient if the adaptor is close to the light, while the ac mains input be 15m away, with this, u minimize the heat loss and voltage drop in the wire, an average of 15bulbs, that's 25.5A running through the wire, use tick wires and let the adaptor be as close as possible to the light bulbs!!
Thanks once again for your great contributions.
Talking about wires, will 2.5mm flex do the job? that is from adaptor to light points.
