Oga Tanko dey wait for you overthere .. Onoghene no dey again

Buhari and APC anticipated this long before the polls. They also correctly smelt a rat when Saraki and his goons in the Senate tried to ammend the electoral act a few months to the elections. Hahahahaha

He will still lose, anyone cheered on by IPOBS always looses out in the end

Honestly some of these flat heads can be real dumb

kingzizzy:
Better to ripped off by Kanu than to be ripped apart by Boko haram or herdsmen because of 'one Nigeria'

Enjoy

kingzizzy:
The people know that "one Nigeria" is a much bigger scam than Kanu can ever be

If those US based Ibos feel comfortable being ripped off by Kanu then so be it. Not our problem

"God gave you a gift in America to rescue us if you like you can leave it. But I can assure you, if you have heard this gospel (Biafra) today, you return to your homes and do nothing, you will never make heaven. Anybody that hates Biafra can never make heaven. In heaven, the angels speak the Igbo language.”

He is indirectly appealing to the American based Ibos to donate money for weapons; money that will most certainly end up in his personal bank account. Sharp guy

nwanyionitsha:
One out of how many million?

His whole family of over 20 are also Muslims too

engrsyer:
No doubt about that. It is 100% Christian state.
Any Rivers indigene whom become a Muslim does that out of stomach infrastructure not because the person wants to be Muslim for salvation or to make heaven

But Asari Dokubo is a Muslim

EFCC arresting innocent freelance IT personnel as Yahoo boys.

If you look clean.
Have a nice car.
Have a laptop.
Have a top-notch phone.
Maybe as a guy you have a beautiful lady with you...

You have no argument, you are a Yahoo boy.

EFCC is dumb

Sister we hear you. If your boyfriend is a Yahoo boy, better advise him to change his line cos the EFCC don't give 2 figs about what you gotta say. They have their mandate to put these boys away for a very long time

Just look at them posing like the starting eleven of a football club

ZombiePUNISHER:
Fulani herdsmen fall on the supporters of this evil administration

Bandits invade the abode of the supporters of Evil

Boko Haram annihilate the supporters of this cow government

Yes yes please keep it up. We need more of your tears on this thread

trash trash trash

Another election loser lamenting. This is so great!

ZombiePUNISHER:
Buhari the lifeless dullard has no grip on the country...

It just a group of power hungry fulani politicians driving the country to perdition....

While the Yoruba Muslims cheer on as the country burns

The Lamenations of the losers. Take heart bro cos you've got 4 more years of pain ahead of you

RemiTinubu:

Buhari is the worst president since mankind

Shatap and get out. Buhari is the best!

That guy's tweet is unfortunate cos I think If there were some northern girls competent enough to make the team, I'm sure the coach would have accommodated them. All the same the whole nation is proud of our super falcons

TheBeat:
Stop being daft or ignorant. Same president that disrespects rule of law. This is Nigeria, if any president pushes for it, surely he will succeed especially with the usual rubber stamp legislators. Even national assembly puts up a bill, he can decline assent to the bill. This is Nigeria. Any change must have a top bottom approach.

you're not worthy of my passing attention

obailala:
Forget that separation of powers thing... A Nigerian president is too damn powerful and can achieve anything he wants to achieve.

Wrong. We saw what went down during Buhari's first term when he found it almost impossible to get the NASS to pass by a simple majority his agenda, and you are here talking about major Constitutional changes that require the consensus of 2/3rd. Where is that consensus going to come from? Buhari has no blame in this matter that constitutionally falls within the responsibilities of the NASS

selemempe:
why shouldnt he do that?

Stupid question

aolawale025:
He can initiate the process. There are already various reports the last one being 2014 conference report

And why should he do that? It is the responsibility of the legislature to amend the constitution

sarrki:
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, and human rights activist, Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has told President Muhammadu Buhari to divide the country into eight regional structures.

Agbakoba, one of the greatest heroes of democracy in Nigeria, noted that there are so many unclear issues in Nigeria about how people of the country want to organize themselves and how they want to live together.


The senior lawyer told reporters at the weekend that insecurity and other serious issues facing the country “can’t [be] fully arrested,” if the central government remains so strong as it is now.

He added that, “This is because community policing or state policing is a tactical tool to deal with the problem, but the strategic tool is the bigger question of the national question.

“There are so many unclear issues in Nigeria about how we want to organize ourselves, how we want to live together, this is what some people have called the restructuring question, some call it the national question, but I call it devolution of powers question.


“Whatever it’s called that is the central issue that needs resolution so that even if you use tactical tools like community policing, but the bigger issue remains then I don’t know if we can resolve it.

“What Nigeria needs is space, there are diverse ethnicities and they are living in such close proximity that one ethnic community is in the face of the other with counter-cultures, counter-religious beliefs and that is not healthy. Even in America in spite of all their advanced democracy, they take care of diversities.

“So, I think if I were to advise the president, for instance, the first thing to do is create space…,identify the ethnic regionalities, create eight big blocs, even though we have 6 to make it 8.


“And then I will give them the power to do things at their own local level, it’s called the principle of subsidiarity; let them work at their own local level. Subsidiarity is where people engage themselves at the local level such that you find in Wales, Scotland, Ireland and England.

“Part of the challenge they had when they were living closely was to create an act of settlement of 1705, that was when peace began to come and each of the regions recognized themselves.

“They all had their own prime ministers and they call them first ministers, so the prime minister of the UK is the one we see internationally, but on local matters like school, refuse collection, education, agriculture, employment, health issues, it’s local.



“So, imagine where eight of the regional structures in Nigeria were fending for themselves at their local level and not depending on federal allocation from Abuja, things will be different.

“Immediately they will take control of what is around them, they will create state police, they will create the relevant security apparatus to deal with any threat, therefore, you don’t need one Chief of Army Staff, and they don’t need one Inspector General of Police to be running around entire Nigeria.

“For instance…say in the South-south region, they will have all the relevant apparatuses to deal with whatever situation that they need to survive as a region.



“They could have courts; they might like to have a Supreme Court of the South-south where cases end in the Supreme Court of the South-south, so they do not have to go to the Supreme Court of Nigeria because the Supreme Court of Nigeria has no business dealing with issues arising from there.

“That is the kind of space I think that should be paramount in the issue concerning where Nigeria is heading to.

“Because that discussion is not on the table, all these ethnic issues flare up as major national insecurity challenge. So, that is what I will do or suggest if I had the opportunity to advise on it. The Federal Government is too strong.



“The Federal Government is actually not a Federal Government, ours is a unitary government because the states have no power on the legislative list so there are 68 items on the Exclusive List and as the name implies in Exclusive List only the Federal Government handles it.

“There is 30 on the Concurrent List, concurrent is between the federal and the state to legislate, but if the Federal Government legislates then pursuant to what is called the doctrine of covering the field the state is not allowed to do anything. In other words, the states have no legislative authority, that creates a problem.

“Why should the Federal Government be dealing with Universal Basic Education for primary schools? What is the Federal Government responsibility with that? I don’t understand.



“What is the Federal Government responsibility with setting up a JAMB process so that you equalize educational activities, but if my grandchild from Anambra scores 282, but my friend’s grandson from Zamfara scores 100, my friend’s grandson gets into the university, but my own does not get in. Why don’t you simply say ….look each region can just organize itself and take your examination?

“So, it is this centrifugal federalism, that means federalism that has a pyramid that has only one leader that is our problem.

“We just have to blast the structures and allow regional leaders as we had under the 1960 Constitution. So, when you have regional leaders you will have people who will like to play regional politics or regional law.

“There is no reason, for instance, in my own profession the eight regions I propose should not be awarding SAN to their best lawyers. Why must it only be Abuja? In the UK, the SAN in England is different from the SAN in Scotland.

“So, the formula that worked for Nigeria was to recognize the differences and I think the best example of the agreements that we can apply is the Aburi Accord.

“The Aburi Accord recognized that Nigeria’s problems were as a result of our diversity not being well managed. We need to manage our diversity that is the way we can move forward

This man claims to be a SAN and yet fails to realize that the president dosen't have the constitutional authority to unilaterally alter the constitution in order to put into effect most of what he just suggested

Gandollaar:
So why is APC wailing? Hiss

APC wailing? Is APC the one going around bowl in hand begging for positions from the government? The SE voted wrongly and are sure going to pay for it. Better luck in 2023

Gandollaar:
If buhari likes, let him become Jesus Christ, Igbos will still not vote for him. Kee yasef.

Who cares? The elections are done and dusted and your votes counted for nothing

Akiara:
Atiku in APC ....They called him an asset.

Atiku in PDP.....His companies are hounded and businesses threatened.


APC and their cronies are Shameless...

Spits!!

In APC or in PDP it dosen't change a thing. Atiku is a crook and I can't even imagine why some dolts want him as our president

Good. The crook has been stealing from us for far too long

BeeBeeOoh:
The funny thing is that an average Igbo man does not even expect anything from Buhari

This is a false statement because the average Ibo man is the one doing the most complaining in Nigeria today

Cocolatti:
Let's hear your own contribution to them first or forever remain silent

Is he campaigning on behalf of the girl? You who isn't campaigning either, where's your own contribution to the family?

maryjames9:
Abeg make Buhari just sit down at home o. Next time if he see Trump, make he run o. Else, no for twitter Trump go finish am. The lifeless comment is still fresh in the memory. May be na calamity or disaster or some other big grammar Trump go use do brutality or fatality for am this time around. At least, Osinbanjo go rep us better than the .... One. Please fill in the gap.

But Osibanjo takes his orders from the lifeless one, so that means he Is there to represent Buhari and not you

kingzizzy:
You mean like the Boko haram members below being released?

It's equally a very serious crime to be a Boko Haram member too. Don't say you weren't warned
