It is because these men had principles, and maybe their eye never tear. There was accountability, and we were also not as divided as we are now.

Obasanjo built FESTAC and National theatre in just 3 years as a Military president. The same project today will cost a president more than 8 years with a very bloated budget.

If Awolowo was alive today, he may most likely be tempted to steal, than even do anything.

.....I agree with first and second but third one? Mi o ni sọ ń kánkán.

1) All previous political office holders banned for life from further participation in politics. All previous Presidents, VPs, Senate Presidents, Speakers, Governors and Deputy-Governors to receive default life sentences in jail. All other office holders up to ward councillor level to receive default jail terms ranging from 5-50 years depending on how egregious their crimes are. The innocent ones are to be assumed to be guilty by association and to receive a minimum 5-year term.

2) Intra-tribal and intra-religious marriage banned for 5 generations. Punishable by life jail terms for the whole family (including house helps and gatemen).

3) Finally, Abrahamic and African traditional religions will be banned. Flouting this rule will lead to life jail terms for the whole family. Instead, a Cult of Reason will be established, in which the Goddess of Reason will be worshipped. The religious text will be known as the Book of Logic and Common Sense.

These 3 steps are pre-constitutional and sacrosanct. After they have been agreed upon the people will now have a constitutional conference to determine the fine details of the constitution.


I told you.

afrodoc2:


Hahaha. This one na bulk purchase not piece meal. You can’t separate them. Either accept all or reject all. Everything is for the itesiwaju of the country.

DissTroy:


We were just as divided, only not livestreamed and the angst experienced in real time from the comfort of our phones.

Read about the tribal tension between Azikwe and Awo, both contesting for the Western seat, and Azikwe versus Prof. Ita (an Ibibio) which led to the ousting in the Eastern seat.

Tribalism was weaponised even then. Some revisited history would only cause more pain and disunity so it's better left alone, sometimes.

Are you all insane? What exactly is beautiful about this basic pictures

Greatswimmer:


Who will carry out the first suggestion if not military government ?
Nigerian have pass through it no difference those people will always come back

Why did you suggest the second option,

I always make reference to this given the fact that some country that areligiuos are doing well but there are religious country doing well e.g Saudi Arabia, Qatari. etc. The problem is just the mindset of the citizen of this country

....let's try first and second steps, if we ain't getting desired results then we can relunctantly, regrettably try the last step. LOL!

afrodoc2:


Hmmmm. I might reluctantly agree. As long as it is still an option on the table.

OasisX:


....ofcourse it has to be. Its easier to achieve first 2 steps but last step?! In Nigeria?! Quick way to break Nigeria is last step, coz Northerners won't agree.

afrodoc2:


Oooiin. By the time they have married Southern Christians for 2-3 generations who will be able to claim Northerner or Southerner?

OasisX:




...ex military leaders deserve longer jail term than civilians leaders.

Unhappy marriages go too choke lmao 😂

Black Mirror (the Sci-Fi dystopian Netflix series) covered a similar approach to matchmaking

afrodoc2:


Don’t worry it might not be your portion. The Clockwise Pattern will be employed.

The 1st child of every Igbo family must marry a Yoruba. The 1st child of every Yoruba family must marry a Hausa/Fulani. The first child of every Hausa/Fulani family must marry an Igbo.

The second child marries someone from the 3rd tribe (not where the 1st child married from).

The 3rd child of an Igbo family marries a non-Igboid SW minority (Bini/Ishan:Itsekiri) etc while that of a Yoruba marries a Northern minority (Benie-Plateau etc) and that of a Hausa-Fulani family marries a SE minority (Efik/Ibibio/Ijaw etc. )

The minorities will also follow the clockwise pattern.

P.S N, SW, SE in this context are purely geographical terms determined by the Niger and Benue rivers and have no ethnic connotation.

After 5 generations we will see who will be forming tribe against the next man. 😂

You haven't been to the north?

Why? Fine babes full North.

Truthfully, this format might help our tribalism issue…. but I’m not willing to make those sacrifices.

Anything outside Southern Nigeria will be hard for me.

Please I would like to know your opinions or say the general opinion of BAT supporters as regarding the 20billion naira budget for VP residence.

Thanks.

BlueRayDick:


I disagree with the bold; tribalism was not this rife in the first republic. The rivalry/tension bwtween Awo and Azikiwe was more of two highly educated men who had different perspective on nation building/national politics.

There was nothing like weaponized tribalism until the first coup, the counter coup, 1966 progrom and the Civil war that followed. Try and trace Nigeria's history prior to the aforementioned period and u will discover most of the tribalism u have today stemmed from the first coup and matters arising therefrom.

chrisooblog:
I think he has a point.

Have you not come across an old video of the premier of the north Ahmadu Bello explaining to a british journalist why he wouldn't employ Igbo people in the Northern Region civil service.

As bad as it is now people were more unexposed and clannish back in the day. It's just the brazen stealing that was not an issue then.

Never been there and I’ll never visit

I did not follow the news and don't know much of it but if its true as reported then its a wasteful spending which is likely to settle some politician
