There is nothing big about Nigeria...India has more than 2 times our tribes... The key thing is that there is a structure that brings about fair contributions and representation.thay what Nigeria is lacking... Nigeria is not so big in any way for a single central government to manage..let that central government have a mosaic with different tribes...that the key thing...it had a manageable one in previous administration before buhari came..so what can u say about previous government..that dey didn't manage it well....
Restructuring is the answer and more likely than division..that restructuring begins with putting an igbo man in that number seat .. Am Igbo too and trust me am also in support of Biafra but..at this point.. restructuring is more visible and realistic... division isn't gonna build a wall between the regions.. This is 2020 there are better ways of handling diplomatic issues
Charmingrascal: No tribe or region in Nigeria is completely in unison, as long as there are different intellectuals and individuals there will always be diverse of thoughts.
"Igbo can't do this, Igbos can't do that" is just another way of causing unnecessary digression Everybody must not support a cause, sometimes it is not the quantity of those who are for a cause that matters it is the quality, the weight, the strength, the zeal and passion.
I am Yoruba but I can tell you that Biafra can be achieved if the zeal and passion to achieve it is strong. Even though on several occasions I have disagreed and openly condemned Kanu's way of agitating I think Kanu has the interest of Igbos at heart more than some of these so called Igbo elites, intellectuals and politicians. In what way has Chimanda supported the Biafra or Igbo Presidency agenda?
Ka ye pa iro fun ara wa. Ko si nkan nkan to wu ni lori lati je omo orile ede yi.
How many Yorubas supported Obasanjo's Presidency? He still won because sometimes it is not about the quantity but the quality.
Nigeria is too big to have a central government, we need to restructure or break up.
The discourse now should not be whether Igbos are United or not, it should rather be how can she contribute her own quota in helping the Igbos achieve what they want.
Nothing but the plain truth... It not just Nigeria but many of these countries that their people as black as fuvk.. especially west Africa...
pacespot: It is the sad truth. Black Africans are not yet civilized, it is better they accept this reality or they get consumed by their thoughts of living in fool paradise. Education does not make one civilized, there is a huge gap between being educated and being civilized. Civilization means the acceptability of a group of humans of being equal to each other and working together to achieve a common destiny. It is a simple definition but with deep underlying meanings to it, most of which are missing in Africa today. if you take western civilization out of Africa, the continent will still be living in stone age by now. Even to copy and replicate other people's successes is a difficult task for Africans
Cross River state is backward.. gov ayade is clueless.. Enugu state is just stagnant...madam ugwuani has done nothing in the Enugu capital.. Delta state is a shithole ...no news about okowa project... Bayelsa is struck with poverty no factory nothing...it like the state doesn't exist cuz all their governor are asleep. Akwa ibom is wasting money on useless things like skyscraper and airline...no industrialization.. nothing..the seaport they have been screaming that would have fasten their development..they didn't do shit... Only rivers state makes sense.. Abia state is a fucking shithole...so weytin remain...
Visit Abeokuta, Lagos ..even ondo and Osun isn't doing bad..the governors are average...go to Kano and see how gandolla is building solid infrastructure..the same with Kaduna, yobe is building a cargo airport despite being poor...look at Ebonyi...
Nothing special in oyo though only that it has a very sane leader...but honestly most state under APC are way better than the ones of PDP...
imo state isnt really good especially with okoroawusa but it better than cross River and bayelsa...think about it
maxwelltony: with umahi's defection APC now controls 20 state while PDP control 15 state, in south west pdp controls only oyo state and bet it with me oyo state is the best state presently, moving to south south the pdp governors are doing better.
It a political party with supporters from the west and north... How many states under PDP is better than those in APC...
maxwelltony: Umahi has taken the wrong step by defecting to Apc, it is like leaving obafemi awolowo university great ife to crown polytechnic ilawe ekiti. what is the meeting btw hausa and igbo man. APC BELONGS TO THE NORTH
PDP is isn't any better..Inshort he is best with APC .. All those things u mentioned were all present with PDP tenure ..boko haram etc.. 7 years of APC ..the only backside is nepotism and the fact that buhari is dull... security wasn't any better under PDP..bokoharam bombed almost every week..
But APC has a lot of things on d table in infrastructure than the entire PDP in 16 years.. more roads and bridges are being built than the entire PDP...
Don't even go into economy cuz if PDP restructured our economy away from oil when they had the chance ..we won't be in this mess...and if they were still in power ..we will still Be in this mess.. Umahi is the best gov in the SE ..such kind of person isn't supposed to be in PDP... U can never compare the gov under APC in infrastructure to That of PDP...
Overall they are still the same evil...only that one is worse than the other.... A full product of PDP backwardness is Abia, Benue state..kogi state is 200% better..
PDP is in charge of nearly all the oil rich state... What have they become..delta state is a shithole..rivers state is the only state alive... Akwa ibom with huge allocations are busy building skyscraper and buying airplane that contribute nothing to the people lives.. Cultism is what dominate these regions.. Most APC State are by far more developed... Lagos Ogun Kano Kaduna ondo.... Only rivers state or maybe Enugu that is doing well..the rest is just an eyesore
maxwelltony: What is the one saying? is it compulsory you must comment on nairaland, what is 16years of pdp has to do with umahi's defection. APC has not used 7yrs and the whole country is already distabilize, your president is walking dead, no security, no employment for the youth, terrorist everywhere and you are there talking thrash abt pdp, where were you 16yrs ago? I believe you must be in primary 4 by then, umahi would still regret flying over to apcheat.
blinking001: My chief. I'll always honor and respect this man. You've been a good mentor to me. Ipobians are the next big thing that will happen to this great nation of ours. They spread their goodness like the ocean, their tentacles spread like the force of a volcano.
Am not celebrating it in terms of numbers but length...warri to itakpe is more than 300km...Lagos Ibadan is 156km..Abuja Kaduna is 186km..u do the math.. My point is buhari's effort are quite commendable not up to 6 years and he built over 450km... right from OBJ only 186km which was eventually completed and commissioned by buhari...
Why should I not be happy that the worst dictator will leave his office with a tangible difference in infrastructure than any other government even with the terrible economic situation
Jaqenhghar: So its 3 you are celebrating rating like this. SMH
What we need next is power... Nothing has changed since 1914..even if it only Lagos I wanna power 247...I have given atleast 10 % of Nigerians 24\7 power..den expand to other states...
We have seen a few good work on a few important federal road, railline, airport... government should give us hope for power
film3four: Railway transformation has hit Nigeria. For the first time in almost 60yrs, Nigeria railway is getting a massive makeover. This is a new Nigeria.
3 actually... Warri itakpe.. Buhari handled 2 economically viable raillines.. Idiot Jonathan built Kaduna to Abuja that has little economical contribution.. There is no such thing as Kaduna to Ibadan.. Blaim OBASANJO..this plans where introduce during his time...and he didn't lay a single block
Jaqenhghar: Just 2 railway lines Lagos -Ibadan Kaduna -Ibadan And you are jubilating. SMH Its easy to fool Niggerians

You are not making a single sense at all... Apart from this ...do u know so many projects that are being built with loans...the 2nd Niger bridge isn't 100 percent from government...why where the loans taken from banks and other investors not limited..what about Lagos Ibadan express road.... FG never borrowed money for warri itakpe rail line so how come it was completed and commissioned last year... many roads are being built by funds derived from sukuk bonds...u think if they were supposed to be looted it won't be done...it has little to do with the source of the loan...after all the Money is handled by the ministry of finance ( according to amaechi) Your not making sense at all
COMPAQ: The only reason why this money was not stolen is because it was aloan from China. And not the type of loan where they disburse cash, but the type of loan where the value is agreed and then the Chinese contractor does the work to specified standard.
That is the reason why the work was done quickly, so that China can start counting the loan very quickly. If it had been handled directly by the Ministry via contracting, it would never have seen the light of day.
Point I'm making is that it has less to do with Buhari or even Amsechi management skills and just the nature of the loan.
We don't need our airline....no big deal..when other airlines can fly to Nigeria and out.....70 percent of Nigerians may never see the reason to fly till they die.. What we need now is power...if the government can power the economically crucial states starting from Lagos and expand to other state...aswear..no body will doubt that Nigeria can't move forward..what we need now is power..
Bozo Where did u see north in that video or picture...or delta, Edo and kogi have become Hausa land .right....maybe Lagos , Ogun and oyo now belong to the fulanis
Oharina: Rubbish, always developing the sharia north with the money coming from old eastern region and marginalising them at same time.
They are protesting because they the ministry's boss is not ijaw...dat exactly how the Fulani people are
Benprass: Shut up, dot ever compare that dead hausa /Fulani with us,
Remove the hausa and funani from the country and watch how the beauty of this country will come out,
So if a particular set of people dot like the way things are be done they should keep quite right? Now I see why the country is mess up because we got no each other back.
Y'all are just the problem.. analysis from an international firm..but because bad news is ur only means of survival and what u can only feed on to survive..u make sure u try to undermine the few good ones to suit ur taste.. nonsense
francotunsco: Even if they are not lying, there must have been a lot of manipulations to achieve this feat!
I agree with u...but GEJ should have commissioned them..dat man stayed in power for more than 6 years..and he commissioned no land mark project...BUBU in equal amount of period will commission warri itakpe rail line and Lagos Ibadan rail line... The same BUBU will even commission all the international airport terminal that GEJ was a big part of..Common east west road ..BUBU is constructing..what exactly the GEJ offer apart from the universities....his tenure was a waste... Only if BUBU can give up Nepotism and dullness he won't have his name written as the worst president even with a lot of landmark achievements
Obi1kenobi: Abuja light rail was about 90% completed by GEJ. Kaduna-Abuja line was at an even more advanced stage of completion. GEJ would definitely have finished them in his 2nd term - just as Buhari is finishing this Lagos-Ibadan line in his 2nd term. I despised much in GEJ's administration (which was why I supported Buhari over him) but pretending Buhari deserves credit for those is dishonest.
All of those raillines where commissioned by BUBU...
Obi1kenobi: But GEJ built the Kaduna-Abuja rail and the Abuja metro line enjoyed by Abuja residents. Why are you guys pretending this is groundbreaking and has never been done before?
Carry ur scripture and go... You have no point to balance the equation. Cux there is nothing to balance...everyone knows Allah is here to steal,kill and to destroy... We see it every day in the north,we have seen it in Somalia and Kenya, US on September 9,2011, afghanistan, Iran , Iraq...
It glaring everywhere that this Is his agenda..
Coronabirus: Hitler is a Christian, US and her EU allied obviously kill and incite chaos in Islamic nations in the name of religion; killing of Ghaddafi, Saddam Hussein and many Muslims over false allegations in order to invade and destroybthe future of Islamic nations. The biggest shame of most Christians is their ignorance of their religion. You don't know anything in ur religion except the music and dancing but u're ignorant of ur scripture. Are these verses not in the Bible:
1. Leviticus 24:17
17 “ ‘Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.
2.Luke 19:27
But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.’”
3.2 Chronicles 15:12-1
And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul, but that whoever would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
4.Deuteronomy 17:1-20
“You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God an ox or a sheep in which is a blemish, any defect whatever, for that is an abomination to the Lord your God. “If there is found among you, within any of your towns that the Lord your God is giving you, a man or woman who does what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, in transgressing his covenant, and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or the moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have forbidden, and it is told you and you hear of it, then you shall inquire diligently, and if it is true and certain that such an abomination has been done in Israel, then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you shall stone that man or woman to death with stones. ... 5.Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
6. Leviticus 20:27
“A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them.”
You can't hide ur cruelty with ignorance wether in old or new testament!
Ok go on... U don't necessarily have to include ipob stuff..not that am against it..am Igbo..but by aim and subject is far from that.. thanks for ur contributions
PDJT: -@OP stop calling yourself a “Nigerian”, that’s a good start.
That not my aim with this post.. I just want have an ideal of possible skills to have our maybe a piece of advice... Am an electric elect student..(although am not sure ur into engineering though) Wondering what I could add to my certificate in the endn either to become independent or to have an edge in the Labour market
Litmus: If your hope for a materialistc future seems impossible at this point, forget you and think of others. Find, build, hire a kiosk and distribute free food to those worst than you. The size and scope only has to equal what you can give. Even if just a handful of food to two people, old or young, as s starting point. Call your charity by your name and ask people to donate money to help you grow your Name's One Free Meal A Day Charity. Also those poor people that come for free food should donate a small amount of money if if they can or help in some other way.
Do something like this and your hope for a materialistc future will start becoming a possibility.
However all of this is by the way, if your purpose for the thread is really about a political debate on Nigeria as an entity and all that boring ipob, Oduduwa, PDP, Niaraland staple.
