“My dear Governor, you may wish to find out whether any candidate in the Democratic Party in the United States of America contested the Primaries with President Bill Clinton when he decided to stand for a second tenure. Again find out whether any Republican Party faithful contested the Presidential Primaries with George W. Bush when he desired for a second tenure and recently whether any Democratic Party member contested with President Barrack Obama when he offered for a second tenure in 2012 One has got to admire Papa Clark doggedness on this issue, but it is clear his memory is no longer what it used to be... For the record, the democratic primaries of 1996 did pitch Lyndon LaRouche against Bill Clinton. In the 1996 Democratic presidential primaries, he received enough votes in Louisiana and Virginia to get one delegate from each state, but before the primaries began, the Democratic National Committee chair, Donald Fowler, ruled that LaRouche was not a "bona fide Democrat" because of his "expressed political beliefs ... which are explicitly racist and anti-Semitic," and because of his "past activities including exploitation of and defrauding contributors and voters." Fowler instructed state parties to disregard votes for LaRouche. And while we are it, what about Pat Buchanan vs Bush in '92? Harold Stassen vs Ronald Reagan in 1984? Ted Kennedy vs Jimmy Carter in 1980? Ronald Reagan vs Gerald Ford in 1976? Ashbrook vs Nixon in 1972? 2 Likes |

One thing I have always admired about the South-south is that when the need arises they always stand in for their own, I hope these funky mallams will just keep quiet for once and face their destinies! What their leaders couldn't achieve in 38 yrs of misrule is what Jonathan is fixing all within 2 and half years, what a real waste of energy on their part. Agreement ko, disagreement ni! |

Sometimes I read with amusement some comments made by supposed Nigerian youths, I really want to believe majority do not share your beliefs, hopes and may be expectations. Its saddening Nigeria has degenerated into an ethnic cocoon across its various geopolitical zones but as much as I detest commenting on ethnic-sectional topical issues as this the issue of Nigeria is worth discussing however in a more intellectual way. I don't think a break up through wars or any form of civil strife or confrontation is what will solve Nigeria's problems or make life better, after all you never can tell the type of leaders that will rise;imagine today governors buying super luxury cars et al.I think Nigeria can look toward a COMMONWEALTH FEDERAL REPUBLICS structure in which we will have large and small entities the number of which will be determined by the desire of the people themselves to forge a common nationhood.I think for the major ethnic groups to easily merge into regions will be easier than getting a number of smaller groups form a super structure, but this is also achievable though through negotiations. If I can deduce,it may therefore for cultural and economic reasons be easy for Yoruba & Igbo people to form superstructures but there will still be flash points when considering claims and counter claims in states like Delta(depending on what decisions are taken by such groups as Olukunmi, Itshekiri, Ijaw,Akoko-Edo, Anioma, Isoko and Urhobo regarding their own affiliations or self determination)The Hausa/Fulani do not own the entire Northern Nigeria as it is the make belief of some online commentators but it will be challenging having an Hausa/Fulani region as it will not be as easy as the time od the Sardauna.Political differences has played a wider role in splitting the northern mind over the years and you can expect series of discords which will take long years to resolve. Then we will be confronted by how the remaining groups of Middle Belt and Niger Delta will organize themselves if we can have the greater Kanuriland in the North east to be a region. While it may look so easy now that Niger Deltans can forge a region, but with massive corruption in Nigerian system already working also in that region we may have a hell of massive disputes. I think the Ijaws deserve and will get a region of their own but will be surprised by their new much reduced map, many groups will rise to lay claim to oil fields and they may be force to be contented with areas where they have landmass to support their maritime claims. More importantly will be the challenges to be faced by groups a s the Ikwerre, Ogoni Bonny and co unless they merge with bigger groups and forge their own semi autonomous communities or principalities or Nigeria may end up with over 250 of such divisions. If however such small groups should negotiate their autonomy within a larger groups arranged into a workable unions , we can have as low as 15 regions. By allowing for economic and resource control across regions will immediately skewed the map into wealthy and poor regions but through a levied mutually agreed federal tax the central government can give aids to perceived poor regions.This system I believe will trigger serious competitions across the country and it will also give people or cultures leverages across the commonwealth to assert themselves. There is nothing wrong with for instance an Hausa/Fulani region to run a sharia system or a region to pursue a socialist -welfare state while other going with capitalism, no one will teach monkey to peel banana after all Cuba is today venturing into private ownership of businesses, economic challenges will cause many to change their systems over time. Nigeria will be better rather than any Biafra or whatever name is being proposed. I think proponents of any republic can forge themselves into an autonomous region, after all we can have a Biafra Region in Nigeria, Hy not? it will at least save us money in propagating wars and add to our developments. |
