Thanks oo my brother. I am sooo glad I am not the only one who has taken note of this.

This is the same question I keep asking myself over and over again. How is it Yar'Adua has all the time to reverse
all of Obj's work but has no time to come up with his own policies ? Yar'Adua is completely bereft of ideas and the bulk
of the individuals who have ideas to move the country forward are southern folks, but he fails to appoint them due to his northern agenda.

Excellent ! Couldn't put it any better.

How many times has Yar'Adua's ministers mention one thing to the public, only for him to rescind on their decision ?

Minister of Information (John Odey) mentioned that NITEL's sale has been reversed, the presidency later clarified things

Charles Soludo was introducing new naira notes; the presidency later rejected this.

What I really want to know is - Who is really in charge of Yar'Adua's presidency ? Because he certainly doesn't
seem to be in charge at all.

You make no sense whatsoever, matter of fact the reasons you stated above are profoundly stupid. I don't think you fully understand Nigeria's problems or the reasons for splitting. Nigeria has over 300 different ethnic groups, most of them having no linguistic ties to the other, most of them considering themselves a nation within Nigeria. Look at all the countries through history that have split from each other, it is always because of ETHNICITY, why is Kosovo splitting from Serbia? 90percent of Kosovo is ethnic Albanian, Czechoslovakia, The Basques from Spain, Ambazonia, Quebec from Canada all of these are based on Ethnicity and Language. If you don't want Nigeria to split give a valid reason instead of doling out stupid analogies that bear no resemblance to Nigeria's situation.

Mr. JayFK "Ojukwu", You wan make Nigeria split, yet you go stay for Canada! Na wahh ooo!
You forgot that when country splits in Africa, its with blood and death of innocent souls.
I wish you mention Eritrea and Ethiopia as part of your examples.
Since everybody is stupid and only you is wise, please just promise us to that you are ready for the sacrifice,
even if it has be that of all your family members, then carry-go, we will follow your proposition

Germannig:

You are correct. But pray, tell, why do countries in other continents split without war, but African countries have to fight wars before they can split? What does that tell you?

JayFK:

I think a nation needs to go through a period of healing first, to purge out the corrupt elements first. But Yar'Adua is not fast enough and I get the impression that Yar'Adua is nothing more than a figurehead: He wants to do good, but he still bears allegiance to his masters who are the cancer that needs chemo. I could be wrong though.

Nigeria1.:

How the system above would work is , every party would present a president and 3 vice president , When anything happens to the president the vice pre from the same region take over. Now we have President yar Adua, The PDP should nominate One person from region 1 and Vice pre Jonathan from Region 2 and David mark from Region 3 . I do not know who is from Region 1 but I think in order would be Bayero Usman Nafada deputy speaker of the house.

So it would go this way
President Yar Adua
and three vice president Jonathan, david mark and Bayero Nafada with 6 years ONE term each for president and governor of the state.

detruth:

Which kind of theory is all these you have being saying since? On what premises can this be founded?
Which country has practised this kind of system successfully before? What authority backs your reccomendations?
All I see (and many others I suppose) about your show is total babyish! Please study to talk sense!
We are talking about the destiny of over 140 million people, not a village.

NiyiRocks!:

I am strongly in support of the decentralisation of power.

@Poster

If we no split make you go contract militias make them come split us. You hear? You chop belle full finish you can dey find person wey go SPLIT that your belle.

bY hAHAHA,
If there is going to be any split in Nigeria(which i seriously doubt) i hope it splits horizontally down the middle , separating the north from the south(east, west and south south inclusive) so that all the power mongers all up in the north can have a field day, fighting to rule each other.

They just remain in the campus and read books

Healing as in contracting top auditing firms to scrutinize government's {executive (federal, state. local) , legislative, judiciary} account records since 1960 and publicly prosecuting corrupt leaders as well as 'followers'.

Healing as in adopting the Chinese system of hanging corrupt government officials i.e. stiffer penalties for corruption.
Case study:
US, where Martha Stewart went to prison for insider trading.

Healing as in drastically reducing benefits of holding public office. We treat our presidents, senators, governors etc. like royalty and get little or no results.

@ Topic

Nigerians (like you) want the country to split for selfish reasons such as 'resources are not evenly distributed'. They are ignorant of the fact that the bulk of the so called resources are obtained from the highly under-developed Niger- Delta region.

The pot bellied governors of the Niger-Delta states struggle for an increment in the derivation percentage for qually selfish reasons.

RUBBISH!!!

The problem with Nigeria is the Nigerian system where the local and state governments collect rather than give to the federal government. We need to get rid of the 'Abuja Syndrome' . States need to be autonomous i.e. generate more internal revenue (by more effective revenue collection procedures), have their own Police, Fire Service etc.

A fraction of this internally generated revenue will be remitted to the federal government. Under developed states will receive loans and other forms of assistance from the Federal or fellow state governments.

This system will promote competition among the states thereby increasing productivity. If such a system can be implemented, our leaders will have more productive things to do than globe trotting and attending 'owambe' parties.

God bless Nigeria.

Nigeria will not split no matter your plight,it won`t work.
NIGERIA -THE GREATEST NATION ON THE PLANET i hail thee.
