[size=15pt]Yorubas are calling for the Restructuring of Nigeria.
The SS are calling for fiscal federalism (another euphemism for restructuring)
What are the Northerners calling for?
What are the Easteners calling for[/size]

SirJeffry:
Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello and Obafemi Awolowo are seen here together in a happy and brotherly mood, what went wrong Nigerians?

JimiOgunlola:
[size=20pt]That statement effectively placed yorubas beneath Igbos forever in all ramification.[/size] It's a statement that will haunt yoruba future generation forever.

It means that for yorubas to make any headway in life, they must look and emulate Igbos.

victorvezx:
When u are ready to accept that Biafra is ur 5 landlocked, erosion ravaged Igbo state, then we know u are serious and let u go. Also please urge ur people to leave other parts of Nigeria in their millions and move back to ur landlocked Ugu republic, where there is no productivity, no wonder ur people always run away from that region and enter either the south south or south west, ur region is a wasteland, there nothing the south east will do that can hurt Nigeria, u will simply hurt ur self and ur people. Lol

OrlandoOwoh:
No. The oil was in the new Rivers State, which was created on May 27, 1967, some weeks before the Civil War started.

OrlandoOwoh:
Whose oil?

T9ksy:
And so did Ojukwu.

Both sides fought for the oil in the Niger delta.

timeman:
He cannot afford to lose what he fought for. He must not lose any part of the country for which he stood for. The centra point of his utterances has always been to keep the nation as one entity.
The truth has spoken!

bejeiodus:
He truly gave his youth to the nation. He and other officers risked their lives defending the unity of Nigeria. It is quite understandable why he told the youth corps members from the East to forget about Biafra. But as one of those who took active part in the war, he should desist from actions and utterances that make people from that part nostalgic for the defunct country. He should also etch his name on every heart by restructuring the country to allow for an enduring peace in Nigeria. Nigeria will continue to be haunted by the spectre of civil war as long as injustice remains.

rozayx5:
sell the house of reps too

its a waste

Yorubamafia:
Poverty rate in the south east is alarming. The FG needs to donate relief materials to the east ASAP

victorvezx:
That is ur opinion. Who cares? Nigeria is one indivisible entity, anybody that attempts to break it will suffer the consequences. We did it in 1967 and we will do it again. Many flat-heads are going down soon

LAGOS, Nigeria Islamic extremists said Tuesday they killed more than 40 troops from a multinational force in an attack on a convoy in northeast Nigeria - the fourth attack in three days following a lull as Nigeria’s home-grown insurgency confronts a leadership struggle.

Analysts are warning that the struggle could lead to more violent attacks that will kill more people in a 7-year-old Islamic uprising started by Boko Haram that has killed more than 20,000 people, forced 2.6 million from their homes and spread to neighboring states.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) West Africa Province annihilated “a convoy of the African Coalition Crusader forces” in the town of Malam Fatori, the SITE Intelligence Group reported, translating an ISIS communique posted on social media. There was no way to independently verify the claim and no word from Nigeria’s military late Tuesday night.

Eighteen people were killed Sunday and Monday when insurgents ambushed another convoy, gunned down Christians leaving a Sunday church service and beheaded a village head and his son.

No one has claimed responsibility for the earlier attacks.

Tuesday’s was the first Nigeria attack claimed by ISIS since August, when it named a new caliph in Nigeria and provoked a struggle with the longtime leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau.

Shekau pledged Boko Haram’s allegiance to the ISIS in 2015, giving it its first sub-Saharan franchise. ISIS said it replaced Shekau in August, in a dispute that revolved around his indiscriminate killings of Muslims.

Many more Muslims than Christians have been killed in attacks targeting mosques, churches, marketplaces and schools.

Tuesday’s ISIS communique did not say when the convoy was attacked but claimed it “resulted in killing more than forty and wounding dozens” of troops from Nigeria and neighboring countries. The multi-national force is also battling Nigeria’s home-grown Islamic insurgents who have spread their extremist uprising to Chad, Cameroon and Niger.

Analysts from IHS Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Centre warned the recent lull and drop in fatalities likely will be followed by increased cross-border attacks.

In the leadership struggle, Shekau has reverted to the old name for his group, Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, meaning “People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet’s Teachings and Jihad.” They are commonly called Boko Haram, a nickname that means “Western education is forbidden or evil.”
