...but this is One Nigeria...

Rubbish...the freaking FG robbing Peter to pay Paul.

whitebeard:
pls follow international politics the way the world is going now, it doesn't favour small nation..! Once a Nigerian always a Nigerian, when the money talks what is there to say.

What was that?

whitebeard:
we know buhari is a tribalist being from the old generation of politicians, atiku would probably do the same, but currently there is no modern day polticial who isn't tribal to lead this country, cause the older generation keep passing their tribal behavior to the young ones.

...and so the young generation from the SE and parts of SS are saying they have had enough and they want country of theirs...but these old generation politicians are against it...

whitebeard:
the FG. Are u kidding me did u say the FG, or we (Nigerians) have remained unfair to each other. We allowed (which we still do) ourslevs to be manipulated by the government. We put them In those positions so we are to be blamed greatly for this not the FG, Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria, not the FG, if we really need a positive change we need to vote in people with unquestionable attributes.

How do you get people with a good character when people support these leaders due to the tribes they come from. How many northerners are blaming Buhari for his 97% and 5% division? Why would the FG choose to invest mainly in the north and SW and less in SS and SE? Why can't they spread infrastructural assets to all the six zones? How would you blame the common Nigerians for this?

whitebeard:
Fools, south west south east these regions that u talk about belong to one nation yet u talking trash bout each, people ain't gat time for tribal stuffs again, that's why this thread gonna die, Nigerians are out there, busy making money while y'all here being tribal, while I post this sh.it I am making money from binary. Let's foster unity peace amongst ourselves, let's compete against other nations not southwest/southeast, cause this stupid mentality our nation is where it is today. Seeing that this tribal stuff is still on we won't make rapid progress, and I am sure the foolish Nigerians who have been beaten hard by life, would start a problem causing thread just to spread his/her sorrow (op I am referring to u) get a life.!

Nigeria has never made any rapid progress and will not make any progress...once people owe allegiance to their ethnic group than Nigeria because the FG has remained unfair to all its people.

God bless our hustle ideally this should be the target of every Igbo city, in particular the first generation cities of Enugu, owerri, Onitsha , aba, Umuahia, awka and Abakiliki.

It is possible with focused leadership

The first step is to pass a law, to ensure all properties near the tarred roads must have concrete slabs or green grass to reduce open surfaces...

Alcatraz005:
Take your hate elsewhere. Some of us are tired.

There is no hate. How can one who wants to stay away from you hate you. The hatred started with you guys...From Awolowo to you new generation chaps...

Have you asked yourself why most of you hate Stella Odua more than Farouk who shared millions with Femi Otedole? It was because she made show Igbos have a kind of International airport. Any Igbo who ensures the 2nd Niger bridge is built will become the enemies of the afonjas. Why do you people want the Igbos to be suffering forever? Are they Igbos angry because the the FG built the Lagos 3rd mainland bridge or the MMIA in Lagos? It is annoying and shameful when you show your evil hatred without knowing it.

Alcatraz005:
Stop trying to instigate hatred. We won’t respond to igbo taunts online anymore. If the igbos want, they can “takeover” any inch of the SW from Yorubas. We are “waiting” for them.

Why not support them to have their own country, so you can have your Lagos, the land you grabbed from the Binis...? Why are you ready to be quarreling with the Igbos when you could help them to leave your region alone for you? You said you are all in all...but you are so scared to rule yourself in your own omoluabi nation...Why

I have read reponses from the afonjas and I have not seen any of them respond on the statement from the OP, that could stop the trend of Igbos taking over Lagos and other SW cities from the control of the afonjas...

See the statement below:

....your only way out is to support Biafra because even with restructuring they are still Nigerian citizen and will and must exercise their rights....

Does it mean the afonjas are ready to accept the humiliation of Igbo control of their towns, in united Nigeria, than have Igbos...go with Biafra?

Xisnin:
What exactly do you want?
Biafra or
Restructuring or
Igbo president or
Federal appointments?

Now tell me who is confused?

...but you want One Nigeria..?

So how is your one Nigeria, with gross inequality, injustice, cheating and lack of fairness...

...in all these, you want unity and peace, abi?


Now tell me who is more confused and clueless?

TheHistorian:
When will you lots grow a "non-dysfunctional" brain?

Kanu never for once championed the call for restructuring nor does he want a BETTER NIGERIA.His SOLE aim was the disintegration of the Country(the same country his father feeds fat from).

And don't be deceived,neither does his unfounded threat ignite any call for restructuring.. The SW is obviously the one behind the pedal.

The SW has been peddling since 1950...You might as well be peddling forever. Everybody knows that Kanu shock Nigeria to its foundation. If he was allowed to date...it is obvious that the FG would have initiated some process for restructuring.

Would you know why Ayo wants the fire to be ignited by the SW people

Kanu disappearance has gone with restructuring...courtesy of cunny Afonjas, born to rule misfits and self-seeking Ohaneze oldies...

Chief Ayo Adebanjo


Worried by the lull in the national agitation for restructuring of the Nigerian federation in the past few weeks, elder statesman and Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, told SUNDAY AIKULOLA in this interview, that supporters of the course must raise their voices once again and that President Muhammadu Buhari must do the needful before 2019 election year. Excerpts:
You recently stated that the problems of Nigeria started when the military tampered with the structure of the Nigerian federation in 1966. Can it be easily reversed?
The issue of restructuring has been resolved in 1954 after the crises following the motion for self-government by Chief Anthony Enahoro. The colonial office invited the leaders of the parties. There Chief Obafemi Awolowo said unitary form of government couldn’t work in Nigeria. They now resorted to federalism. It was as a result of this that they included Premiership into the constitution. That was the constitution agreed to by Awolowo, Sarudana of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello and Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe, the founding fathers of this country. It was also signed and approved by the colonial office. Each region was independent and autonomous. They even had foreign embassies abroad.

Outside the powers given to the Federal Government, all other powers were residual to the federating states. There was also derivation of resources, which is now referred to as resource control. Then, each region had 50 percent of whatever was coming in. Then Western Region had cocoa, Northern Region, groundnut and Eastern Region, Palm Kennel. It was that constitution that we carried to Independence in 1960 and Republic in 1963. And there was peace.


The coup of 1966 made the leaders then suspend the constitution. They created states and local governments arbitrarily. Almost every general wanted a local government in his state. That is why we have more local government in the North than the South. They thereafter said the revenue of the country would be shared based on the local governments. Even after the discovery of oil, the sharing formula was still 50 percent.

The restructuring we are talking about now is that this government should take us to federalism that was in operation before the military took over in 1966. The Vice-President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, once said the unity of Nigeria is non negotiable but nobody is talking about the unity of the country. The condition of our unity was settled in 1954. It was the Army that caused all these confusion and as long as this is not done, it is Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) that want to disintegrate the country.

I have said it before; anybody that opposes restructuring is enemy number one of Nigeria. We have been united before the Vice-President was born; we have been united before Buhari joined the Army. So would Buhari say he is more Northerner than the Sardauna?

So why is government finding it difficult to take the country back to federalism?
It is difficult for Buhari and other Northern leaders to rescind because it is from this system that they cheat the South. For instance, when you talk of Value Added Tax (VAT) and other revenues, Lagos contributes about 85 percent, Kaduna, 5 percent while some contribute nothing. The military now said instead of 50 percent, let’s give them 30 percent. Buhari may think he can use force to keep us together; let’s go back to history. Russia was bound for many years, even Yugoslavia, but today, it’s a different story. And it is only in Nigeria that the nearer you go to the desert, the more your population. We have toured the North, where is the population? It is this cheating that we are resisting. Buhari is stubborn and he thinks because he has the elements of power he can oppress us, but I tell him we have God on our side. In fact, Nigerians must reignite the fire of agitation for restructuring which has been in a lull in the past few weeks.

How would you assess the APC government?
Yes, they have failed. When I was first interviewed on (Abdulrasheed) Maina, I said for Buhari to be clean, Dambazzau, Malami, Abba Kyari and others that are involved, must be removed immediately. If you want to do enquiry, they should be under suspension while this is being done. I was giving him the benefit of doubt. With the statement of the Head of Service, now saying she briefed the president after the Federal Executive Council meeting, which shows President Buhari was privy to it that the man who had been declared fraudulent and wanted by the police sneaked into the country in spite of the Minister of Interior, Inspector General of Police and Chief of Immigration.
He was reinstated under a government that says it has zero tolerance for corruption. All the people that are involved in these criminal acts are the people that took Buhari six months to appoint. We knew Buhari is dictatorial and partisan. He does not obey the rule of law. He is a tribal jingoist and a conservative. I have said it before he was elected. People said that was under the military regime. Now, he has refused to release Dasuki, the judges’ houses were invaded like gangsters. The moment the rule of law is violated in the country, nobody is safe. Those that elected him said they are surprised. I am not surprised. In fact, I am disappointed that he has not disappointed me. Unfortunately, it is the country that suffers. What have we gained in the last two and a half years? All the principal officers he put in place to address corruption are deep seated in corruption. And he does not make himself clean by being tardy.

PDP is determined to return to power in 2019, what can you say about this?
As far as I am concerned, they are two sides of the same coin, one is six and the other is half a dozen. It is when you want to compare that you will say one is better than the other. From what has happened now, we now see that PDP as a worst element is better than APC, not that they are good. In fact, it was Jonathan that declared Maina wanted for corruption and a zero tolerance to corruption man brought him back and promoted him.


Recently, Niger Delta Avengers vowed to resume hostilities, what can government do to avert this?
Do you blame them? The people said government has not kept to the agreement. Let the government come out and say they have kept to it. They said all the promises cannot be done in a day but they must begin one day. The argument of the Avengers is that Buhari is not sincere. The mainstay of Nigeria’s economy is oil which comes from the South-South, when you go there, you can see the terrain. There is pollution. Also, look at the harassment of Nnamdi Kanu. Under a federal constitution, the Federal Government has no right to go to any region without the permission of the regional governor. And under this present constitution, because of the provisions, our president is the most powerful president in the whole world. Trump is not as powerful as Buhari. If you want us to be together in peace, he should restructure immediately before the election.

There are still problems with herdsmen attack….
There are herdsmen all over the country raping, assassinating, and killing. They carry arms openly. Herdsmen that we know rear cattle with sticks. It is under his regime that herdsmen are carrying arms invading and burning houses and not a word from the president. He is doing things with impunity and very insensitive to the cries of the people.

But why are Yoruba leaders not speaking with one voice?
The reason is that those that came after Awolowo to rule think of themselves more than the people. Most of them are fakes.

orisa37:
Restructuring is not required to appease and satisfy Kanu. It is a normal legitimate Rearrangement of Nigeria for more effective, productive and progressive advancement. It is to be achieved peacefully on or before 2019 if Nigeria is sensible or by FORCE if the North remains insensitive.

Who will lead the force? The Afonjas? The afonjas have been clamoring for restructuring since 1950. 2019 will not be different.

Xisnin:
Cowards!
It was Biafra or Death how did it become Biafra or Restructuring.
You guys are as confused as your fugitive terrorist leader.

If you guys are not utterly confused Nigeria would have been heaven by now.

konoplyanka:
Everyone knows that the British met a very difficult situation in iboland. Many whites where captured And eaten by ibo cannibals.

What they did 100 years ago is what the Yoruba cannibals are doing in 2017...

Have you taken your akamu with grounded human parts this morning..?

Michael004:
Guy, it is a pleasure. We will always welcome that as a Yoruba. It will be a slap on Yoruba face to compare ourselves with them. We know who we compare ourselves with. Not igbo, igbo of all people. Tufiakwa.

...but would support the north to make sure these Igbos are part of Nigeria...why? If you are superior why not grow the balls to rule yourself...
