SuperBold: Your leaders, senators, governors, HOR are not backing you and you want to secede?
A day will come when Yoruba leaders will see the need to remove themselves from Nigeria, I hope it wouldn't be too late.
Our major neighbours often misrepresented our peaceful and liberal nature as weakness and they always try to exploit it. Only Yoruba can understand Yoruba.
Yoruba's want to succeed away from their so-called leaders.
Soolmus: If Aisha Yesufu thinks she has solutions to the multitude of problems affecting Nigeria, let her contest and campaign for an elective office
Campaign and contest in an electoral and political system that has created the poorest country in the world. She needs to steal government money before she can win an election in Nigeria.
Virus99: I read earlier that Nigeria is set to become the Country with the most jobless people in the world.
On the surface it looks like nothing, but then you remember that China has 1.1 billion people and India has 1billion people. So how in the name of gentle Jesus did Nigeria of just 200 million have most unemployed individuals
The worst part is that we all just wake up and go about our normal life like it is nothing !
I strongly believe that Nigeria got independence 50 years too early.
Fvck Queen Elizabeth...in the ass !
Nigeria export is $30 billion (oil and gas) , the country is nowhere to be found in manufacturing which is a major source of employment.
rhames: but unfortunately, the greatest opposition will come our own people, the Yorubas especially the leaders. Our political and opinion leaders in the south west dont have Yoruba interest at heart. The are interested in their own pocket agenda.
Our won people betrayed Chief Awolowo on three occasions: in 1963, 1979 and 1983. The last one was glaring as Obasanjo was not keen on handing over power to his fellow statesman and used Justice Adetokunbo Ademola to achiev that demonic agenda that has kept the country in perpetual search of a p[olitical solution to its problem.
I am expecting the Yorubas to betray Tinubu in 2023.
Tinubu has betrayed Yoruba's with his corruption and support for Buhari. Tinubu now has three private jets while Yorubas are now living in IDP camp. The Yoruba's don't deserve the presidency in 2023.
The Yoruba's are correct , you need to table succession to get restructuring.
The debate for restructuring only became heated when IPOB and now Odua starting announcing that they want succede, the government now has to fulfill its manifesto on restructuring.
One of the issues that held Nigeria back has been the lack of visionary leadership, the failure to develop a petrochemical industry value chain to the oil and gas industry is a shocking failure, that has failed to diversified Nigeria's industrial development.
The video below is how the Taiwanese government developed the semiconductor industry by changing their education from basic science to applied science research, focused on the development CMOS technology, and provided loans and security to major indigenous entrepreneurs, similar to the support given to Dangote, but lacking in the support for Innosson Motors
It is a question that every developing country in the world wants to know: How can we upscale our economy? How can we make more competitive, technologically advanced product that everyone else wants?
The early 1970s gave the people of Taiwan such a challenge. Times were changing. The island needed to adapt in order to survive in a new world full of challenges. Its economy then was made up mostly of agricultural products and simple electronic assembly - exports of low value and would be easily replaced.
In this video, I want to briefly review how the government created a world-class next-generation manufacturer, the plan they followed, and what lessons we can take away as a result.
Farooq assesment is wrong, missionary school provided education beyond just reading and writing , that can be expensive with out state subsidies.
ake Ogun State as an example. Ajah’s article shows that “in Abeokuta South Local government, where six schools were said to have been handed over to the original owners by the government, the total school enrolment of these schools in 2008 was 12 663.
But by 2010, after the hand-over, students' enrolment dropped drastically to 401 for the simple reason that school fees were high. Consequently, 12 262 students could not get access to secondary education. In Ijebu Ode, enrolment dropped from 8 729 in 2008 to 876 by 2010.”
Maybe those schools were designed for less students
On hijab and controversy in the State of Harmony, By Olabisi Deji-Folutile Kwara State has been in the news. The bone of contention is hijab. While this is not an attempt to trivialise the importance of hijab to a Muslim faithful
Muslims see school uniforms as being beyond mere wears.
They believe the present-day uniform takes its origin from the western world and therefore should not be binding on them. They have also said that hijab should be seen as the fundamental human rights of Muslims. I agree with these submissions absolutely.
Let’s face it, Nigeria is not the only country where the two main religious groups-Christians and Muslims have been at loggerheads on use of hijabs in schools.
Never mind that some Muslim countries have had cause to ban hijab to protect their children in the past. Tunisia and Morocco are African countries with large populations of Muslims that have banned the burqa.
Also, in 2015, Congo, Chad, Guinea and Cameroon, banned hijab in schools to counter Boko Haram attacks.
So, what is the way out?
I love the submission of a Muslim religious scholar, Abdallah Kheri, who chairs the Islamic Research and Education Trust in Kenya. To him, both Christians and Muslims are rivals, as they both call on people to join their faiths. They are always looking for customers, and they shall forever be rivals. Knowing that this is the situation, politicians should stop fuelling the rivalry among the two faiths.
Agreed Muslims have a right to wear hijab to school. Mission schools equally have the right to uphold the traditions and tenets of their founders against the use of hijabs in their schools.
Some people have argued that the mission schools are funded by public funds and should therefore be controlled by it. They however forget that government didn’t build these schools.
The people that built those schools had a purpose for investing their resources in them. They did not envisage that the government would take over these schools.
Freelancer2020: Ganduje became popular for his babaringa case, but that man is one of the best and working gov in Nigeria, you may dislike him as much as you want but you must respect his vision and intellect, unlike my state gov in osun, we have even forgot that we have a governor.
How can you respect a thief that has been captured on camera. Building roads and flyover is all good. but who will develop the million of children on the street of Kano. Development starts with security, education and healthcare. Awo made his name based on universal healthcare and education , the industrial parks, roads , and TV station came later.
divinehand2003: Ameachi won't lie to Nigerians, especially when it has to do with infrastructural development of the southern part of Nigeria where he hails from.
This project is of utmost importance to his future political plans and pursuits.
Ameachi, once said that he will complete the $400 million mono-rail project in PH ... he lied. Politician lying is like drinking water, you should first look at Ameachi record to understand why he never completes a project.
BigBashiru: The British invaded Nigeria and slowed down Nigerias development for over a century.... now the nation is getting back on track...
What was Nigeria development before the British took over?
By 1902 the British had built a tramway in Lagos, completed the Lagos to Kano railway, the Port-Harcourt railway. Till this day Nigeria cannot build or maintain railway. The Monorail that Amechi started in PH has yet to be commissioned, Lagos light rail that started in 2008 is nowhere to be found.
BigBashiru: It should be obvious to you by now that Nigerians can't build or develop anything... the youths are disinclined to anything related to hardwork.... the only way infrastructure projects can work in Nigeria is if it is given to foreigners such as China. If you look at roads, any road project given to a Nigerian firm ends up a failure but the ones given to Julius Berger which has foreign leadership ends up successful.....
Who will maintain those projects when the Chinese leave.... the lazy , uneducated youth.
The culture of corruption and indiscipline is the consequence of failed democracy practice in Nigeria. why should any youth work hard when a government official can become a billionaire overnight.
chikeson2008: Actually, Amaechi is trying. He is doing well. Buhari, the only major problem he has is these killings. I hate the killings. Outside that Buhari is very good in infrastructural development. He obeys the law far more than OBJ that was impeaching Governors here and there and ring election for PDP in the South West. Also, Buhari is trying in Agriculture and fighting Corruption. Unlike Obj. that was only jailing his enemies.
He is not trying, building a railway at exorbitant prices without a supply chain to maintain them is not trying.
We need railways but the first priority is to build steel plants and train Nigerians to build railways themselves, rail technology is 250 years old. Nigeria can easily afford track laying machines to remove old tracks and lay new ones, this is basic engineering similar to building motor ways.
Aconomist: this rail will also link Lagos with the lekki free trade zone, benin, warri, portharcourt and many other cities
Work on security, work on health care, work on education.
Human development and security are a country's first priority. Fix the roads and we can work on the railway infrastructures when the country has steel and iron resources to build them.

AsomughaChuks02: At least in Abuja one can drill borehole and easily get water unlike the suffering of residents of Enugu where you can't get water even if you drill to the core of the earth! To have a water truck company in Enugu is akin to owning an oil well in Rivers State. Ugwuanyi should do something about this. Businesses like hotels are spending so much of their overhead costs on buying water.
Drilling borehole in a city that was founded in the 1980s! Are you out of your mind, the is 2021 the age of robotics and you are proud of drilling boreholes.
The same government informed this nation about 3 months ago that subsidy has been removed hence fuel is to sell @ #165.Of course it was another lie and scam.
DPR cant tell how many barrels of crude oil Nigeria produce or sold daily.Now @ what exchange rate do we sell crude oil and buy fuel? What about the by-products. All these are happening under Mr president & minister of petroleum-Buhari who overhyped himself Mr integrity.
A single lie destroys a whole reputation built over the years.This government have really taken Nigerians for granted.He who lives by lies and propaganda will also die by lies and propaganda.
Yet some fool will support NNPC's plan to spend $1.5 billion to revamp the Port-Harcourt refinery. In 2019 Kyari closed down Maiduguri for his daughter and son's wedding. Kyari is a full-time liar and thief.
How NNPC GMD shut down Maiduguri for son, daughter’s wedding
Unusual activities had hit Borno state after fleets of aircraft landed at the Maiduguri International Airport for the wedding of the son and daughter of Kyari Mele, group managing director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
The event, which held in the northeastern city on Saturday, saw Muhammad and Sadiya, the GMD’s son and daughter, get married to their different spouses.
It is believed that no less than 40 aircraft had conveyed prominent politicians, oil business moguls, friends and family members of the Meles for the spectacular ceremony.

My friend join the long queue. My best advice is to develop some programming and register on service on Upworks or Freelancer or find friends and family aboard that are interested in buying Nigerian products for export to Europe and Americas, there is a big demand for Nigerians food items and accessories, if you have contact that can identify buyers.
UstazAhmed: We keep feeding the South yet they keep insulting us. No wahala that's the sacrifice of a big brother!
How can you feed people paying you for your products, without the South who will pay for your products? Please use your brain , if the South block the ports and will you acquire petrol to move your products to the South.
AmbaliJ: As you can see, the difference between us and you people is that we are refusing to be led to the slaughterhouse of war and needless deaths like Ojukwu and Kanu have been leading igbos. Any so-called Yoruba leader, be it elected official, a thug, traditional ruler that tries to impose himself on us as a leader for the purpose of leading us to war, will he rejected. You guys can have Sunday Igboho since you like his Kanu-style of imposition, but you can count us out of such madness. We are not zombies like you brainless ipobs that obey and submit to Kanu without question. Bye.
There can be no peaceful separation in Africa, whether we like it or not the Yorubas will have to decide to fight or died.
The violence in the North will continue into the South, this is now beyond the sitting government, population explosion, extreme poverty, climate change, ethnic nepotism and incompetence politician is now driving violence across Nigeria.
Lifestone: Akeredolu is so on point here. I have said severally on this forum that these agitators can't impose themselves on us as Leaders of the Yorubas, we are too smart for that. There are processes to follow if you want to lead a people out of a nation. I am not happy with Nigeria as we are presently organized but that won't make me ever submit to the leadership of an illiterate like Sunday Igboho. God forbid. This so called Professor, I don't know him, for him to be my leader, he need to seek my consent.
Put sentiment aside and please reflect on the following..
Will the Yoruba's be better outside Nigeria?
Has Nigeria work and will it ever work?
The architect of Nigeria(Awo, Zik, and Bello) were very skeptical about Nigeria and its future and they have all been proven right. Nigeria can never work
Francisayo: I've been teaching in a private school for two years, but the money is just too small and never enough this made me think of a business to start...
I got a loan of #500k to start a block industry on a small scale, even though I'm still in fact finding and research stage about the business but I hope to start very soon.
I'm currently not in my town as where I teach is in another state but I planned to set up d block industry in my town.
I planned to resign next week after vacation, I want to tell d owner I won't be resuming with them next term...
Guys do u think this is a good idea.
Thanks
Why not take an extended leave to kick start you business and if it works, resign from your teaching job.
Omoluabi1stborn: Kwara governor just wanna destroy his government.
It is interesting to know that. Dr. Olushola Saraki (Muslim) marries Florence (Christian) Dr. Bukola Saraki (Muslim) marries Toyin(Christian) Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed (Muslim) marries DNS. Omolewa (Christian) Mallam Abdulraman Abdulrasaq (Muslim) Marries Fola (Christian).
Except Dr. Olushola Saraki (Bukola father) who's was not a governor of kwara state and the first governor of Kwara after Democracy (Lawal).
All Governors of Kwara state married A Christian Wife
They all married educated Christian wives because they want their children to be educated and enlighten.
The evil party brought this evil Boko Haram into our darling nation. They looted all the millions of dollars budgeted for procuring arms for our military among themselves, Arms that could have helped us to kill all these animal terrorists in their budding days, but NO, the looting party stole all the money and put us in this mess we are as a nation. May anyone involved in all the violence never end well in life, they will all die painfully. Along with those supporting them. (Watch hypocrites, children of hate and perdition run away (as usual) without saying Amen to this innocent prayers by demMANNA) Hypocrisy is in their blood!!
No be Curse, Na FACT!
We Rise![/quote]It is now 6 years in government and we are still attacking the past government, PDP was a failure but is APC an improvement, Buhari was ushered into government on the the basis that he will improve security and defeat Boko Haram.
A federal structure must have a federal , state and local government police architecture. The state government must have the power to govern and protect his state. If the politician cannot trust state police then replace the federal constitution with a unitary constitution.
The fear is that the Southern states will weaponise the state police and leave Nigeria.
