I have been observing the whole thread, studying everyone's opinion and I can say this :

The North is up to something mischievous once more with the off-land in-land resources policy of a thing.

I don't support that 12 states arrangement. I don't think states like Rivers and Bayelsa would be happy to be reunited again. A lot of minorities wouldn't like it.

The big question is , why haven't any leader(s) from the south come up with a memorandum since we've been the ones advocating for it the most?

I want restructuring and I think this is a time for southern leaders to put heads together and think of what they want.

Franky I don't think the North wants this restructuring and that's why they've concieved a model of Nigeria they know the south will reject.

My 2 cents.

Coldie:

If bayelsa didn't have any oil and gas deposits will u be saying this?

Without oil bayelsa is one of the poorest states in Nigeria.

If you were from a bayelsa without oil, would u support restructuring that starves the state of the needed funds for development?

Most of my people shouting restructuring or Biafra plenty of them are plain ignorant and don't know what am saying.

No reasonable Igbo man in this world would ask for restructuring something that the south south is the biggest beneficiary.

No reasonable Igbo man would ask for Biafra, something that the biggest beneficiary is still the south south in the name of Niger delta, yet despite this they hate them for it.

Both Biafra or restructuring no Favour Igbo's in anyway.

Whether IMO or Abia have oil leave it like the way it is, we are not willing nor ready to risk it

My guy there will always be wailers. I believe every state in Nigeria has one or two or more blessings under their soil. Why must we continue with the present system when things are not working. like someone said , even in the US not all states are equal but yes they still survive. I believe all regions have what to survive on. Human resources, natural resources what ever it may be.

And as for the biafran matter. I was once a hater of the biafran concept not the igbos but when I thought deep I found that it was just actually the name I hated and it's true for a lot of Nigerdeltans. The name including the person championing it plus the attitude of a lot of Igbos I've met on-line and offline. You see a lot of Nigerdeltans when they hear the name biafra only think of the amount of bloodshed our people had to go through. The betrayals and lies of both sides of the warring divide. I'm not loud about it but right now I want either biafra or restructure.

They're a lot of Nigerdeltans who think so too but the way a lot of igbo Igbos behave towards us is another major issue. I've insulted igbos before on the net but when I remember that I have igbo friends , a grandma that's Igbo and a little igbo ancestry I just think "who am I insulting? the igbos I see on the net or the ones I see real life? " there's a major difference. Do I really hate Igbos? hell no I don't.

Coldie:

Our only intentions as igbos should not and never be restructuring.

I have studied the northern thinking to a large extent these people are smarter than us down here.

1st they said they don't support indepence, we in the South called them names, after the British left and gave us the indepence 50years later we are wishing they never left. Them and us who turned out right?

2nd they were against the unification decree proposed by aguiyi ironsi that gave the center the power it has now, u saw what later happened. Now we are wishing it never happened.

3rd restructuring they are saying no, and we are calling them names again until it backfires.

I don't know about other regions, if marginalization or tribalism or nepotism can be fixed in Nigeria, and corruption fought to a stand still there's absolutely nothing wrong with the present system.

Restructuring does not favour we igbos in anyway, d day it will happen u would find out it's we from the East that stands to loose out not the north.

Unlike other regions which have sth they want to restructure from my observation all the East wants is for the SE to have an extra state and nothing more. If we move for extra state and restructuring is done which brings true federalism that extra state will be useless to us, apart from that I know the next regions a state will be created from won't be from the East but from the West.

So its a loose loose situation

I really don't see what you're driving at. I'm not Igbo by the way but why do you think the present system is good? How do you think Nepotism, tribalsm can be stopped? See ehhhn, If the restructuring means transforming the country to a place was true federalism is practiced then I see at as nice way of curbing tribalism etc.

Luxemburg is not the richest country in the world. Luxembourg is the wealthiest country in the European Union. Infact the richest country in Europe is Germany.

If it ain't Luxembourg then it's Quatar not even the USA.

Revolution is all about communism and socialism, read books and history.

Every revolution that happened in this world brought 4things socialism and communism then mass death and poverty.

China, russia, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc

Also luxemburg isnt the richest country in the world but the wealthiest country in the European Union, per capita.

The biggest economy in Europe is Germany making them the richest.

At this point, I can only say Chai!!!

thebosstrevor1:


It was an anti colonial war not a revolution. Too much films have block your brain.

America is the richest nation on earth. Even the nonsense china you want to mention as the richest nation isnt a developed nation like the USA but a developing nation

Who wants to mention China? You're a joke Mr. Luxembourg is actually the richest country but you wouldn't know that na.. Dumb fvck!!! Do you masturbate with your brain juice?

America never had any revolution, what they had was a civil war and a war against Britain

Imagine someone who claimed he is enlightened saying America had a revolution.

For France they had a revolution, what did it bring socialism.

America is the richest country on earth because of capitalism.

Guy shut tf up. America had a revolution against the British government, research it. . And America isn't the richest country. Guy seriously ehhhn!! You're worse than dumb.

richmanrichard:
this one na Yoruba revolution na

Which one be Yoruba revolution again na?

Look at this one. Countless countries you see that are prospering now went through a revolution, don't just sit at home and start spewing trash.

Thank you guy,, educate the idiot.

thebosstrevor1:


The lazy one, broke ass love revolution to inflict their anger on people making it.

People like you are moved by the crowd. Follower of destruction.

LOL,,, have you finished? FYI, I'm not broke and I won't say you're broke. You know what you are? Unlearned, unenlightened. The worst thing is you're also not just unlearned but you're also dumb without repair. America had a revolution when things weren't going right, look at them now, same as France etc etc.

You don't know there are different types of revolutions. Sowore is even a calm person. If I had the power and was in his shoes right now I'd make sure this revolution was a violent one. It's just a peaceful protest and you're here supporting police for clamping down on them.

Obori na you be las las.

thebosstrevor1:

Dont spread your laziness and hate to people.

You are in fact the lazy one.

thebosstrevor1:


If i am mumu for thinking right, i like that type of mumu.

No revolutionists will come and destroy hard work of people who have sweated to build their families and businesses and lifework.

Revolutions must be destroyed.

And I guess you are enjoying the current situation of things. I don't even know what to say but please just know that you're dumb.

thebosstrevor1:
pls do. Governemnt should not allow the youths to be corrupted by revolution, government take action now

I am calling on the police, army, ss and others to clamp down on these radicals, pls check who is sponsoring them and cease their bank accounts.

Revolution my ass, Revolution is a communist agenda, their intention is to destroy nigeria and bring proverty and death

Where has revolution ever bring prosperity and peace? check libya, syria and other country where revolution occured, they are all in civil wars, children and fathers dieing while mothers and wives crying everyday.

Revolutionists in power are even more oppressive than the power they remove.

SMH... I don't know who you are but you be mumu...Heavy Obori, Odonyo nai you be last last.

I insult you because arguing with you won't do much since I'm damn sure you won't be able to change your mind about this.

OAUTemitayo:

They don't even have water supply. Forget electricity for now

OK,, we have heard you. Happy now?

blacknp:
How do you know, are you Fulani also? It may have something to do with the way Jonathan sold out, how is the Electricity situation in Bayelsa? Charity they say begins at home.

LOL... I'm not Fulani, bross. And as for the electricity in Bayelsa, it's getting more stable although 12 hours light per day isn't nearly enough to start praising the governor. I don't know for other LGAs but for Yenagoa it's more stable.

MASTAkiLLAh:
ignore the pathetic son of perdition the same way I did. It’s obvious the sad piece of shît is inconsequential both in his immediate family and the larger society hence his need for relevance and communication by barking like a lunatic dog all over the internet

Seriously, I respect the way you ignored him. I can't stand and look when someone who's life isn't proven to be better than mine sit behind a computer screen insulting my people, like we're the worst tribe in Nigeria.

I've been noticing this Ijaw bashing trend in nairaland for far too long. Even the Fulani don't get bashed like this.

daddytime:


You can insult the people that brought you into the world online here but if you were faced with the rogue you agreed had lavished and buried you and your entire lineage's future, you'd hail him and lick his arse to get a crumb move on with your cowardly lamentation.

You no fit gather people of like minds make una confront these una common enemies and take them out if it comes to that?

Coward.

This guy, what's your problem actually? Is it that you hate the OP or you just hate Ijaws? Because I'm not understanding your lamentations oo! Shey you're Nigerian, aren't we all in the same shit hole?

Mind your self before hawk carry your fly o! Insulting Ijaw people here won't help your life or ours.

I noticed a lot of portharcourt slangs are actually of Ijaw origin like wari, kala, agaka etc My question is since Ikwere seems to be very dominant in PH why don't I hear slangs from with origins in their language. I don't know of any, if you know, please mention.

SocialJustice:
Ijaws are actually the crazy and stupid ones. Answering the most crazy names in Nigeria. It is not my fault they are awkward like that. They have fine ijaw names like Tamara, Tubolayefa, Ebi etc but chose to answer Cup, Spoon, Stupid, Good luck, Shoe, even Hitler. Nonsense people.

Guy somebody insulted and you start insulting a whole tribe. Is that sensible? Was it the tribe that insulted you?

If Ijaw people choose to bear awkward names is it your problem? Must you call them stupid for it? From the look of things you're not even as smart as the name you put as ur moniker sef. SocialJustice.

Litmus:
High-rise buildings like these should have a narrow channel of water around them about six feet deep. I believe that in wake of runaway inferno, this water would save many of those that jump out of windows in desperation as long as they do not land on the walkways that lead over the water to the building.

Guy you don think go far.

Damn..... Things are getting interesting.

PortHarcourt1st:



I am from Rivers state, and Onitsha is like London compare to the jungle called PORT HARCOURT that's filled with slums


PORT HARCOURT is the most polluted city in the world

Guy hand go soon touch you o! Make you just dey dey post post. I pity anyone here thar will take you seriously.

Kinematics:



Nonsense, glorify your Delta in peace and stop displaying ignorance.
PHC alone is made up of 5 LGAs which are Phalga, Obio-Akpor, Eleme, Ikwerre and some parts of Etche.

Guess you dont know Oyigbo is another LGA not PH. Guess you've never been to mainland Okrika not to talk of Bonny. Those 2 places alone make both Ughelli and Sapele look like forests.

I don't want to mention places like Abonnema, Buguma, Bori and Ahoada yet.

Thank you, I knew what the guy was saying is trash. Didn't want to just quote.

Efewestern:


Even the Lagos and Akwa Ibom are still overrated, our leaders need to do more, I have been to several cities and believe me I'm not proud of any.

Forget the fancy pictures you see online. where is lalasticlala?

Swears... Akwa Ibom is very overrated. I haven't been to Lagos and I don't know if it's my eyes though but almost all Nigerian cities that are being hyped by Nigerians seem very overrated to me.
