Generally, the biafrans ibo are myopic. they just think of the immediate. they dont hav long term planning. they can do anything today to achieve their aim. . . but when tomorrow comes . . .they look different. They are drumming for war, just thinking about the oil in the delta, hoping to get all of it . . .hahaha . . . while they criss-cross the whole country . . . doing legitimate business without intimidation, but they wont allow anybody into their region. They rob, kill and maim anybody that is non igbo in their markets . . . .when this country splits!!!

Keep your support to yourself. Of what importance are you? You ask a bunch ignorant ass questions not worth answering. Worry about you not us.

It is really interesting to get a glimpse of the past. The Ibo people are greedy. They attempted to take over the country (the 66 coup), they failed, then they came up with biafra, they failed, and they were given their own states, they failed to provide governance and leadership to their people.

They can continue to complain, onething Im certain is that, as a country, we will be better as one. However, if the country divides, their people will suffer more. I can just imagine the millions Ibo that will be repatriated.

DICTONARY.COM defines Federalism as a system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units.

Stangleyo(I wish your true name is known ) - Is that also your definition of Federalism?

It's important to define any big terms used and explain why it's being used to better clarify our stand.

Federalism: political system: a political system in which several states or regions defer some powers, e.g. in foreign affairs, to a central government while retaining a limited measure of self-government

The extend to which the central government hold power depends vary from country to country. As far as Nigeria is concern, we are practicing true federalism. We have states that have their budgets and maintain civil structures. The central government retain certain powers, owing to the nature of our country, this powers hav bn defined in the constitution as to include security, Fedarilsm, we have. What people should be asking for is more devolution of powers to the states

Everything depends on the aspiration of Nigerians rather than the aspirations of few individual people, who believe they are the brain of the country.

Few individuals, believe that when Nigeria split into tiny countries, they will be better off. Their thinking, is narrow and self service because they stand to benefit from being the founding fathers, the fathers and political god fathers of the new countries.

Many people in the south, especially the narrow minded ones, that havent travelled to the north, underscore the nature in which this country inter-twined. The large community of the southern people in the north, will make breaking this country into tiny pieces very difficult. If it did happen, it will be a disaster. There will be mass migration of people, never witnessed in the modern history of mankind. For sure, I know something, if this country breaks, there is no way, the nothern states will allow the current population of the southern people to continue staying in the norht. Nor will will the southern people allow the northern people.

Human capital is very important of development. However, as the population of the world increases, land and resources are very necessary for peaceful co-existance. It is no longer a new thing, that every country now, even the developed world, are trying to limit the number of migrants in their country, the rise of racism and facist in europe can bear this fact.

Hence, the belicose statements of most southerners are not going to make this country break into tiny peaces. Some of the leaders know and that is why they are not pushing for that.
