Don't mind the mofo.

The reality of not being in power again has reset his brain.

Super1Star:


National-gini?

What made him one? He was just an ambitious Igbo man looking for others to lord it over. Charity is meant to begin at home.

Tell us the achievement of your nationalist apart from suppressing other ethnicities in the then Eastern Region and making all the them to learn Igbo by force.

InyinyaAgbaOku:

The one you are doing, is it working?

coolitempa:


This has always been Awolowo's position until the irresponsible actions of Zik, followed by Aguiyi Ironsi and Gowon messed it all up. Regionalism and eventual split!...

uduak2016:


Great analysis...sounds like you know more about the pyschology of Akwa Ibom and Cross River with respect to the artificially crafted SS. I assure as that if the country is divided into Zones, Akwa Ibom and Cross River will prefer to be in SE.

Proudlyngwa:
Are we talking about regionalism along geographical zones or geopolitical zones, because we are already practicing it along the geopolitical axis.
What Nigeria needs this period is seperating local governments from state government, making them completely autonomous and financially independent not creating more mega monsters. Same applies for councils and wards. We need a financial transparency commission of all tiers of government.

opalu:
All these Media Senators get me tired!
If you have a great idea like this very one, don't announce on media. Sell it to 3/4 or at least 2/3 of your colleagues and make it a law and also lobby the Executive arm to buy it.

Nigeria can develop faster in regions not in states with galaxies of SSAs and SAs

bonechamberlain:
the northern parasites won't do that because various unproductive routes where Nigeria's money is channelled to might be canceled .

uduak2016:


Do you live in SS? Do you understand there is not much in common in culture and bloodline between most states in SS? Do you understand we have more in common with SE than those states in SS in culture and bloodline? This is the problem with you folks in other regions especially SW, you yell SS all the time not understanding the cultural dynamics in the region. Go and look at Nigeria map...Akwa Ibom and Cross River only borders SE states and Rivers....that's it! There is a reason for that! Why are you lumping me with states far closer to SW...Edo and Bayelsa? Give me a break! Let me say this very clearly, Akwa Ibom and Cross River don't like being SS; don't come with me with oil crap as Cross River has no oil, so it's not about oil. We are just comfortable being with people that we were with together before! Referendum will shock Nigerians!

OrlandoOwoh:

Confederalism is different from federalism. Don't confuse one for the other. In confederalism, the component parts are more powerful than the centre. In federalism, the centre is more powerful than the component parts.

betterABIAstate:
you are kid and you seem to be reading too many Yoruba books. I can remember vividly zik's statement during independence " it doesn't matter who becomes the prime minister, we have host of other capable candidates like awolowo, tafawa balewa etc" all I want is a progressive nation " awolowo on the otherhand was interested in developing southwest, please ask questions before spewing thrash.

Every genuine Nigerian tags zik a true nationalist, awolowo is in the league of ojukwu, the later was just interested in regional development.

gidgiddy:
Naturally, most Southern Nigerians would want the 36 states collapsed into 'zones' or regions. The North will be against it because it will end their political domination of Nigeria. But as an Igbo man, what I'm sceptical against is what the zones will look like, particularly in the area sometimes called SS/SE. I want know what happens to Igbo elements such Igbos of the lower Benue, Delta Igbos, Rivers Igbos and the Abi Igbo speaking people of Cross River. I also want to know if the Efik/Ibibio nation and the Ijaw/Edoid people can actually be in one zone or are they going to be two separate zones or would they prefare to join their Igbo neigbours as one zone? These questions need answering and that is why a referendum has to be conducted before the creation of any zone so that the people can decide which zone they want to belong to.

ubah84:
iam disappointed on dis man I thought he is wiser than dis. As a deputy senate president why didn't him sponsor a bill and lobby his colleagues to vote on that regards but he chose to waste our time by writing a long book.how many people will read dat his book. Nonsense

Krismart:
Who said he is not in power? All these years he has been in the senate. Where is your father who is supposed to be his age mate abi u don't even have 1

Super1Star:


What are the achievement of the so called nationalist?

Are they that inconsequential that you cannot tell the world.

Tell us his achievements.

bashydemy:
When will your father with the certificate from South East write his own book?

DropShot:

You just commenting for the sake of it and the "likes" you crave for.

What Mettuh is proposing is nonsense and it cannot bring development to many areas. Why do you think the SS zone will bring the development that Bayelsa couldn't achieve as a state to it, if it now becomes part of a larger entity?

Rubbish proposal.

BeeBeeOoh:
That's a good idea, but the people that feels they own Nigeria won't live/let that happen.

Babacele:
why didn't Ekweremadu's PDP do it for all their 16 years in power? mtcheeeew...nonsense noise!

betterABIAstate:
what are you saying?
Zik is part of the reason Nigeria is still in existence, zik played a key role in the independence of Nigeria. Please drop your tribal sentiment because as far as you are still a Nigerian, zik remains your hero.

Are you expecting me to tell you he constructed roads and flyovers?

Musiwa419:
Ekweremadu would be the first ibo man that I would vote for, if he contest and places this as his campaign manifesto.
Without regionalism and true federalism, the progrees and development of Nigeria would remain elusive

InyinyaAgbaOku:

I know, and I ask, are you enjoying the one you are doing? Your safety isn't even guaranteed

Super1Star:


Regionalism comes automatically with federalism and resource control.
