My opinion is likely to be controversial, and so I apologise in advance to anybody I might offend.

Nigeria is too big for the incredibly under-resourced government to administer to any degree of efficiency.

In all honesty, the way to fix Nigeria is to be cut throat and ruthless. When a ship sinks, the surviors must leave the victims to drown in a straight choice between survicval and saving lives.

Most of the North is a foregone conclusion. Most northern states were unwieldy , infeasible and economically impotent. There is no hope for that part of the country. There never was. They were backward since 1914. They were ill-equipped at the dawn of independence, and they are feudalistic society in 2023, sharing more in common with Middle Eastern Culture than they do with us in the south.

As if the modern day serfdom that hold sway in most of Nothern Nigeria is not enough, they have also historically and contemporararily clung tight to the more violent tenets of fundamental Islam, and so the affliction of utterly senseless violence that is shared by so many majority Muslim countries is present there, as well as the associated desire to pursue a stone age lifestyle.

I personally would cut everything above the confluence line loose to go and sort them selves out, as a minimum starting point. There is no place for them on the lifeboat. They must drown. I'm sorry.

Then I would examine what's left. This potentially leaves me with a yoruba country from ayetoro spanning all the way west to the Benin Republic border and then all the way south to Otta.

I see Lagos as another country. The areas around Lokoja, Kogi etc can be the Benue Republic with access to the coast through the river. Then there's Biafra around a core Igbo identity although I'm not sure this the likes of Edo Delta or Rivets state will join them, and not having access to coastline could prove a serious sticking point.

I think the Niger Delta is likely to break out into civil war if given the opportunity to do so. There's too many chiefs, warlords and guns, the rewards of access to oil money are too great, and the historical fault lines are too deep. I think this combination is too potent, and they will likely drown.

I think the cross river and calabar region is its own country as well.

I don't have an answer for Edo.

This is my starting point. I'm on my phone and I don't have the energy to flesh out my ideas all at once, but you might be able to guess what my ideas might be in terms of economic policies, political organisation, security architecture, and immigration issues.

They are caving in. Lol

Does anyone know if a dollar account in Nigeria can be credited straight from abroad?

Theflint1:
This makes sense, Gideon Orka had the right idea. Edo would likely go back to the old Bendel mold with Delta state.

Who is winning?

WhoDeyHause:

The real general overseer. 🙌
Oh great one kindly do some Tonali runs for me. Saturday premier league matches, all their correct scores, even if you say Chelsea 0 assnal 10. E no concern me. Lemme just chop sportybet 60m 3 times and leave this country asap.
Renewed hope wan finish me.

raumdeuter:


Yes. Send a wire. Sometimes can hit the account same day or max next business day

You'll pay like $40 wire fees

seankafor:
even now that it is 1200.. any careless naira that mistakenly enters my hand, na dollar 💵💰 straight up..

Amigoss:


Very easy..We are related by culture, Ancestry & history.Don't have answer for Edo ke,a whole region on its own THE MIDWEST ....

Akwa ibom and Cross River with a Calabar/Ibom nation

Rivers and Bayelsa hold their side strong

Where the civil war wan break out for Niger Delta from

Ibime:


Wire fee goes to the Nigerian bank or the service provider?

What of Revolut?

The person will be earning like £250 a month for services rendered, $40 is a bit much to take off the top, he might want to receive in Naira and convert himself if that's the case.

A40:
Criennnn. You didn't need ouija boards to predict any of this nauu.

Do people still win off football? Most big winners I dey see mostly play other sports

popizaino:


Man Utd without an iota of doubt.

Why did I start singing this in my head as if it was the original song and I was wondering what brought praise and worship into this matter now? 😭

BlueRayDick:



I’ve been meaning to ask, Why do people overrate this Iyin guy sef ?

liveLongNprospa:
There are idiots and there are special idiots that believe this is why our naira crashed over the years😂.
Like another easy escape.
This and blaming abokiFX, I don't know which is worse

Is he aware that his president has decided to provide dollars for 43 items that can be produced locally?

I really do not blame him oh.... Honestly

There is a way you will put your hope on someone, and then when you see the nonsense they are doing, you begin to make sense of it.

E say make we break our Airtel SIM and use Glo

But he is typing from X and most likely using an iPhone

liveLongNprospa:


Investor money😁.
So alot of them in that tech space patronise him.
Intelligent guy when it comes to business, dumb fucker all round

BlueRayDick:


It is well .

Like u rightly said, his intelligence as far as his niche ( the tech world) is concerned is not in doubt . Same cannot be said about his political views and ideas on general social , economic and political issues . Most especially on how he throws a mix of religion here and there to obfuscate things and make it difficult for people to know what exactly he stands for .

liveLongNprospa:


OH no..
Everybody knows where he stands.
That man is business first.
Anything to have influence to favor the tech space (especially his own business). He knows that Tinubu will much rather tolerate his type of behaviour than a Peter Obi.
Hence why the only people that really Bleep with him are apc people.

The thing that annoys people is that sprinkling of God he does. E dey annoy me die😂.
