Oya na, elites have recovered from their amnesia

Africa embracing Israelis religion but jettison their technology

Rossiminku:
OBJ was right. Whether you are Ibom Republic, Oduduwa Republic, Biafra Republic, or whatever.

The story will be the same.

Your new republic will be a tiny weak bitch of the western powers just like Equatorial Guinea. They have oil money, which one dictator just sits there sharing among his family and local/foreign cronies, while the population sees little to nothing.

Here's what your president would do.

He will hire foreign mercenaries from say Israel or USA, plus his elite troops to guard his palace, and he will clamp down on opposition, be highly corrupt, and he will have the backing of the western powers.

If he tries to turn good leader and develop the country, he will be assassinated or have western-sponsored rebels sent against him, to topple him.

That's how it works with small, resource-rich African countries.

That's the script that been in operation since before you were born.

Today, you live in a country that has the power and authority to ban Twitter, a major international player.

Your tiny new republic's President will not have the audacity or capacity to ban Twitter.

One threatening phone call from a US marshal, or the French President's SECRETARY, to topple the government in a coup or military invasion, and the idea will be dropped like a hot potato.

I mean, the French govt will be all over you like a rash.

They specialize in subjugating and robbing small West African countries.

Your leader couldn't do anything without their express approval.

They might force you to adopt the French Franc, using all sorts of blackmail methods, denying you a currency, and controlling your money flow.

Are Nigeria's problems insurmountable? Hell no. All it takes is a change of administration to a southern president, as per rotation policy, in a year and half, and suddenly, the south holds power to change things, like PDP did for 16 years (and misused it).

The new southern administration could restructure Nigeria to their hearts' content, and that would be that.

Why PDP never did this, I haven't a clue. Expecting a northern administration to now do it, is madness, when YOU couldn't do it as a southern govt.

The Fulani threat is seriously overblown.

Where were they in the 16 years of PDP rule?

Nowhere. They were quiet.

So they are not worth breaking Nigeria up for.

So Nigeria is doable.

Your solution is not to turn into little, insignificant Sierra Leones, Togos, and Malawis.

Nations who sneeze, and nobody hears.

''Weak republics'', as they were termed by General Olusegun Obasanjo, respected African statesman, and two-time Nigerian president.

Nigeria must stand.

The ONE black nation on Earth that can ban Twitter, and not bat an eyelid.

Have them crawling to her to beg for forgiveness, being Africa's largest and most buoyant internet ecosystem.

It was a dramatic expression of sovereignty and independence that jolted the world.

You will miss Nigeria if you lose Her.

The light of the Giant of Africa, the hope of every black man on Earth, Africa's biggest economy and rising superpower, the cultural, musical, film, fashion and sports capital of Africa, projected to become the world's 3rd most populous nation after India and China by 2050, VIRTUALLY GUARANTEEING her industrial and economic advancement, and her investment magnet status as the world's 3rd largest consumer market, THAT LIGHT, THAT SINGLE HOPE OF THE BLACK RACE, NIGERIA, must not be extinguished from the Earth.

I don't know what motivated you to write this beautiful jargon, but what am sure of is whatever it is, is borne out of selfish and myopic tendency and should be thrown into trash.

Every indices of development has gone negative while that of failed state is what is we are left with.

You talk of being black power, economic giant bla, bla bla but failed to see the level of insecurity going on everywhere, As it stand today, there is no more motivation for investment for a small business because of insecurity. Even foreign investors are jettisoning your darling country to more save smaller ones where their investment would be save and you are here deceiving yourself.

Tell me how you are going to stop the country's slipping mode and don't bring the childish talk of change of power to a southerner will change the current mess.

It is people that make a nation and where majority mind of the people are made up due to hopelessness bequeathed them by past and present leaders of this country, its just a matter of time, as there is clear indication that new nations are going to emerge irrespective of your subtle wish of one Nigeria

farem:
The attention seeker, Sowore was caught relaxing in the train Buhari’s Govt launched just after leading a protest of ‘Buhari Must Go’,

What a confused fellow!

Make hatred no kill some people for this country!!!
#Nigeria_First

Are you alright OP. Which one is Buhari train? The one he invented or the one he bought with his pension?

Southerners should also push for 1963 regional and fiscal autonomy

Its getting set

Beancounter93:
Well, the guaranteed right to protest is one of the good things of being a democracy.

The reason why Libya is in a mess is because for decades, they were not allowed to protest, so resentments built up until they exploded.

Helineus you again

Hmmm

IJOBA11:
OUR FANATICAL MUSLIM BRETHREN FROM THE WEST WILL SOON BE HERE TO CRITICIZE AKEREDOLU FOR TRYING TO SCATTER THEIR DREAM CALIPHATE WHICH FULANI HERDS TERRORISTS ARE CARRYING OUT VIA PROXY FOR THEM.



IF FULANI SUCCEED IN DRIVING YOUR CHRISTIAN BRETHREN OUT OF YORUBA LAND, THEY WILL TURN THEIR SWORD ON YALL.


UNFORTUNATELY, AFONJA IS NOT HERE TO TELL THE STORY TODAY

Why are you guys always like this. Shior. Pagan Okoro

Okay

LegendHero:
Where is the second phase? Has it started or is it completed?

Then why did you initially lied it was the largest when Gbaram/Ubie gas plant Produce an average of 864 million standard cubic feet per day compared to the 300million of your Asaa?

I like reading your comments, but gets sour the moment you start responding to some ethnic bigots that is filled with egocentric proclivity such as that Anambra guy that is emotionally corrupt and always wish the downfall of Southwest despite having most of his people making money from same southwest he detest so much.

Your analysis about Southwest position in a situation of another civil war is succinct

What's the cause?

PissfulProtester:


How can you say the military is protecting only Fulani settlement while others are living in fear?
Una lamentations never start. You all cheered and shamelessly supported the unknown Gunmen. Who would have thought you would ever need the military to protect your people? From what exactly? Is it from the military or the unknown Gunmen?

I have said it countless times that the hypocrisy in the East will eventually consume it.

There is no any hypocrisy here. We all saw the video where hoodlums were damaging cars at Lasu gate during the clash between okada riders in Lagos while Army and other security personnel looks on.

Just yesterday, hoodlums were unleashed on labour protesters in Kaduna but the present of Police could not clamp down on these tout.

When it gets to your turn, you would understand how it feel to be s Nigerian at this time

helinues:
Same Arewa guy that has been so proud about his Fulani lineage is what impersonator is telling us he is not Fulani.

Tah, leave trash to Lawma

The guy said he has proof, you should have ask for the proof rather than tag him impostor.

Anyone can claim anything on nairaland

helinues:
Op is the real impersonator.

Take him seriously at your own peril

How did you know, are you one of them?

Bashir75:
Because down South West, we have undiluted identity. We are not jewish or have confused identity. We are the Yorubas. We stand on our destiny and identity. God in His mercy crafted us differently and we are in different countries of the world. You know what, in any countries such as Ghana, Togo, Brazil and others you find the Yorubas, they still speak the language. We don’t care about one big North or South, We care about our race, the Yoruba race.

Will you keep quiet and stop blabbing you impostor

It is well

helinues:
Mods would take care of you

Chief Whip of Nairaland. Shioooooor

Why are these people so afraid of restructuring

ThatIgedeBoy:
You are the one fooling your self. Easter falls between 21of March and 25of April thats a whole month... Any week in that period
Google is your friend....
But if you doubt argue with your ancestors stop mentioning me.

Did I tell you its observed in December. Your blabbing about Pope choosing Easter day is what I object

ThatIgedeBoy:
LoL Oga Easter is not fixed. The date for Easter is set by tye Pope go and look through your calendar and stop arguing what you don't know.
Or have you always fallen into coma when we celebrate Easter outside first week of April.

Know this that Easter is celebrated between March 21st and April 25th.

Every Christian waits for the Papals decision on the date Oga

Oga stop embarrassing yourself where millions across the world could easily see your ignorance being display with bold face.

No Pope chose Easter day for anyone. The day for the next 10year Easter can be assess by checking your calendar

Christistruth00:
This may be fake news

What are Ambode and Amosun doing there?

Its genuine

Are they just waking up

This is getting serious

What's the business of legislator collecting jumbo constituency allowance and constituency project?

Mind you most of constituency projects are channeled towards empowerment with the Honourable name boldly written on such project ad if its their money

HedwigesMaduro:
Nigeria is a stupid country. What is the business of a member of a legislature going to execute projects? The function of the clowns is to make laws (which they are not good at, anyway).

Total condemnation of this proposal is akin to supporting the current bastardised electoral system.

There nothing wrong in using our phones to cast our votes.

What I think is important should be the flexibility in voting method whereby there's is option for casting of votes physically for those who don't have means of using phone

Difrent:
But you will disenfranchise a while lot of people who won't have access to high end phones that will have biometric features . Because you can afford such a phone doesn't mean everyone can, that's why the world over governments provide gadgets in certain locations so people can go cast their votes.....and in some cases like US things like mail in ballots and early voting to make sure every eligible voter votes.,....most Americans still go to polling stations to vote ,......even at that thy don't have 98% turnout.
Besides voting is a civic duty, don't elevate it to home entertainment or a game on a phone encourage people to go out and vote, except if conditions don't allow.,.....with your proposal many people will just vote along party , religious and ethnic lines which will mean NO CHANGE so I don't buy the idea
