What's the currency of the Republic of Ireland?

ROI is a an EU country and they use Euros while NI is part of UK and they have their own NI pounds which is different from England pounds.
While you can use English pounds anywhere, the opposite is that for Northern Ireland pounds.

Maybe we need to do the same in Nigeria.

Thanks for the info.

I come in peace😔

gidgiddy:
This is how Nigeria should have been structured, seperate countries but contributing to a central government

Why must we be together in d first place?

victory36:
Fun fact: they all dislike each other

That’s not even a lie.
English people are very arrogant about what the English leaders have in the past.
Millions of Irish people were killed, enslaved and shipped to USA.
More than 45% of total population of Irish were killed by British troops.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UK, GREAT BRITAIN, BRITAIN, ENGLAND

A lot of people in Nigeria and indeed all over the world, including well travelled, elite class people often confuse England, United Kingdom, Britain and Great Britain. Well, here's the way to differentiate them:

*England* is a country just as Nigeria, and its capital is *London* just like Abuja is the capital of Nigeria.

*Great Britain* is a collection of 3 countries which came together as one country and has its capital as *London.* Those 3 countries are:

1. *England,*
2. *Scotland* and
3. *Wales.*

When you include *Northern Ireland* to these 3 countries, they become *United Kingdom* (union of four nations) Viz:
1. England,
2. Scotland,
3. Wales, and
4. Northern Ireland.

That is why it is referred to as the *United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.*
Collectively, the four are taken as one country. And when this is the case, *London* is its capital.

Note however that these four individual nations all have their own respective capitals.

Accordingly, the capital of
Scotland is *Edinburgh*,
Wales is *Cardiff*;
Northern Ireland is *Belfast*;
England is *London*.

Ps: Northern Ireland is not to be mistaken for the *Republic of Ireland*. The latter is a separate country. Its capital is *Dublin*.

so how come they have 3 diffrent status, country as 1 country as 3 country as 4 isn't that confusing

That was how it was till Aguiyi Ironsi changed everything - Western Region, Northern Region, Eastern Region.

He promulgated infamous Decree No. 34 of 1966 - the unification decree.

Shame no dey catch una. See what an able bodied man created time to do.
No white care to know about the three major tribes in Nigeria. They don't care. They see you as parasite instead of the other way round.
Slave mentality no dey tire una?

Create topic about potus too.
Bunch if low self esteem niggas.

Even if you become a billionaire tomorrow,with this mentality, you will still worship a nobody as long as the person is white. Our esteemed politicians were once like you and they keep on using their heads.

And Nigeria will be doing as if they cannot allow every region stay on its own and contribute to Nigeria

Scotland, wales and Northern Ireland are not independent nations but they have some degree of autonomy through deregulation

Ritchiee:
They did before Aguiyi Ironsi spoilt the arrangement and Gowon stamped it

Why are you so filled with lies? Can you provide proof that Aguiyi Ironsi spoilt it? Don't quote any decree for us. Post it here so everyone can read it for themselves.

gidgiddy:

Aguyi Ironsi in typical Igbo fashion introduced the unification decree due to his greed to have total control over other regions resources

MT:


That was how it was till Aguiyi Ironsi changed everything - Western Region, Northern Region, Eastern Region.

Provide proof to your claims. Don't cite any decree just post the content of the decree so we can read where and how he changed it. If you fail to do so, then you're a big liar and should never be granted audience.

I asked for the exact words contained in Aguiyi's Decree 34 but you're giving me commentary by another person who might have interpreted it wrongly.
I ask again, provide the exact decree Aguiyi Ironsi enacted and make sure you read it yourself so we can discuss it very well. I'm waiting for you.

Can you show me which section exactly abrogated the regionalism practiced at the time? Show exactly where he appropriated the resources of the regions and decided that he will be sharing allocations to whatever new things he created.
I'm waiting for you o.

Thanks greatly.
This is one good thing I have learnt on nairaland

I misjudged you to be reasonable.

Are you a baby? You want to be spoon fed? You asked for all the resources, I gave them to you. So I should be pointing you to exact place. I am struggling to believe you are mentally retarded or have comprehension problems.

CaptainFM1:
Wahala be like bicycle! So when you add Nigeria to them, what do they become?

Oppressors Republic

Stop posting rubbish.

American and English citizens don't give a fuvk about the difference between Africa and Nigeria.

I'll refrain from insulting you so you don't run away. I want us to have a discussion on the exact contents of that decree.
Did he abrogate the regions? NO
Did he appoint military officers to over see the provinces/regions? YES
Did he allow each province/region to keep their own constitution? YES
Why then are you people lying that he truncated the regional system?
He was a military man and wanted to stabilize the country the way he felt would be better by using the military until he hands over back to the civilian. Similar thing was happening in ghana at the time too.

Op: your full of teaching wisdom. if all our teaching faculty are like you, all students will have been professor's!! . Today again. i see the important of been a nairaland member.so educative not the usual tribal league a k a Hausa,igbo ,Yoruba or political war a k a APC ,pdp or Lp. Fellow country men and women no need to fight each other let keep educating our selves because the elites we fight each other for careless about us as they keep growing fat on our taxes and national cake's.salam.

Meanwhile, here's Gowon's decree 14 and 15.
He is the one who abolished the regional system, appropriated exclusive power to himself and created more states in the north thereby giving them more seats in the House of Assembly. Gowon is the culprit here.

It was like that until greedy Ibo messed it up in 1966.

Today, it is the same Ibos that are wailing online and offline about injustice that they created.
