As you can see, my post was targeted at some people. How it affects you a Yoruba Muslim, I don't seem to get

martyns303:


OK, so even if this water is in the territory of ND, by maritime law, everything in it belongs to the federal government? is this law in accordance with international practice or a Nigerian maritime law?

Bede2u:
how can Nigeria territorial water be in the territory of ND is ND a country? Is it not part of Nigeria? Check if only st petersbourg own Russia's offshore oil. So u knw, sudan and south sudan tho seperated, still share oil revenue. Water belongs to Nigeria's Navy and hence Nigeria's FG. But more importantly, this my arrangment will get more support from every part of Nigeria than ur own idea. Consessions are an important part of winning.

You are so not correct. Where do you think Akwa Ibom gets it's derivation (which is the highest) from.?
The onshore /offshore dichotomy has long been settled.

Aboki don't have sense? Yet southerners have been unable to outsmart them politically since 1953?

Guy calm down and reason well.

martyns303:


I perceive you are getting agitated, please calm down. I am only trying to educate myself, no negative intention intended.

I have not fully understood the point u are making, if there's anyway you can make it more understandable, I'd like that.

OK, Bonny is in Rivers State, offshore oil drilling takes place there, from what you have said, even though this drilling is taking place in Rivers State, the fact that it is not onshore, this puts it under the control of the federal government?

I also asked if this is in accordance with international maritime law, just Yes/No is enough for this.

you mentioned the Navy being in control of Nigerian waters, so is the army in charge of the land and the airforce the air. if that's a justification, why can't we say onshore oil belongs to the federal government by virtue of the army?

again, please don't get pissed, just an honest question.

A suggestion on how restructure can be;


1. Recognise the six geopolitical zones as federating units and let INEC conduct elections to elect their governors. Name the SE zone as Biafra state, SW as Odu'a state, SS as Niger Delta state, NC as Middle Belt state, NW as Arewa state, NE as Kanuri state.

2. The current 36 states will become metropolitan areas and the current 36 governors will become Mayors. Scrap entirely the current 774 LGA arrangment. The current LGA chairmen will go to the new six state assemblies as legislators. The councilors will be dissmissed.

3. Return Ilorin and Kabba to Odu'a state. Asaba, and other Igboid part of SS should be conceeded to Biafra (to quell unnessesary agitation). Ijaw part of Ondo should return to Niger Delta state. The fulani part of Kwara and Niger go to Arewa state. Nasarawa should go to Kanuri state. The Christian part of Taraba goes to Middle Belt state.

4. The offshore oil belongs to us, therefore we must share. The 36 Metros should still get what they are currently getting, while the new six states should now get what the LGA where getting before. So a state will get only the amount that would have accrued to the LGA it had before. The oil fields found inland should however be ceded to host communities. The assets of NNPC and NLNG should still belong to FG but must be treated as a private company when minning oil found inland.

5. Some NPF police officers should be transfered to state service as state police. Same should be with some prison wardens as state prison officers. Many of items on exclusive list (such as energy and power generation) should be moved to concurrent list to allow states participate. Only defence, foreign affairs and currency operations should be exclusive. Because of this, the oil revenue share retained by the FG will decrease to give more to the 6 states and 36 metros.

6. Increase the number of senator to 115. The extra 6 should be one first class king from each of the 6 states. Such as the sultan, ooni, obi, oba of benin etc. The new 6 states should have houses of chiefs to be made up of the remaining top monarchs in the zone. Any monarch not included should be considered irrelevant and derobed. The office of the Senate President and his deputy should be discontinued. Let the Vice President double as Senate President while the majority leader acts as his deputy.

7. Some LGA Civil Servants should be absorbed by the new states, the rest should be dissmissed. Federal roads should also become State responsibility, while airports, Seaports and railway should remain with FG. All seaports should have equal status.

By this, agitations will reduce grossly to give government at each level chance to do its job. Also the unaccounted waste by the current 774 LGAs will stop. The FG by this arrangement sheds power, but not enough to make it irrelevant. Also traditional rulers start actually working for the Nation to compensate for the millions they cost us. By this also Biafra would have been given to my Igbo people, Niger Delta would have been given to SS and Odu'a would have been given to SW.

Well, if you check his previous comments here on nairaland, there are some comments he made that will make you conclude that he is Yoruba.

He was also on the odua constitution thread trying to derail the thread with his Yoruba Muslim nonsense

Kingspin:
Yes. It means any territory within Nigeria is no man's land...

plz share dis on vanguard ...dis is d best post ive read on nairaland ..u solved evry ones problem wit it

ColonelDrake... You can try as hard as you want but your plan can never work. So you really think I'd hate on my brother because he is a Muslim and i am a Christian Lmao
You know what,, you that call yourself a Christian,, I'll rather have you killed than hate on my muslim brother

How about Economically

How about Educationally

How about Human Development Index

You think Political Outsmartness is being blood thirsty... and being coupist... with all the Head of State the North have killed to get yet they are still backward, war torn, terrorist region, poor and parasitic... drawing Nigeria backward.

*Shake My Head*...

Bede2u:
You and I know that my submission is more realistic than yours. But what we are talking about is offshore oil. That is oil found in Nigeria's territorial waters. Not oil found in Niger Delta. Are u saying that ND should also own our territorial waters? Which was given to us due to our landmarks? Thats not being fair! Also that FG Should hand over companies to u is unfair. SHOULD FG HANDOVER KAINJI DAM TO NIGER? Lets be reasonable... thats how we can progress. Check my old posts to knw where my loyalty lies

PehaKaso:

Read my comment again and you will discover that I was actually hammering on the offshore resources.

My position is this; if the secessionists succeed in their quest for a new country, would other regions also ask for a share of the offshore resources found in the new country? Your answer to this question is what determines your position on restructuring.

Like you earlier asked if the FG should also hand over the Kanji Dam to Niger State. My response to that is in the affirmative. FG should focus on Defence, Immigrations, Currency, National Orientation, etc. There should be total restructuring brother.

If as a citizen, you are desirous of doing business anywhere, the federating region where the business interests is located should take charge of everything.

Thanks for the mention.

Yoruba ethnic group are smart and cunny..

They deceived and pushed Aboki to write Kaduna Declaration with the plan to destroy Northern Economy.. now Inflation and cost of living is all time high...
poverty and Hunger level is now at critical level.

For them to turn around and Write Ibadan Declaration inviting Same Igbos (That have left the North) to come invest in Abeokuta, Oshogbo and Ibadan...

Aboki don't have sense... even the educated and elderly ones are still dunce... blame quota system.

PehaKaso:
Let no Biafran comment negatively on this thread because it is a win-win situation for us Biafrans.
The time to foster Southern unity is now.
Regionalism, just as it was practised in the days of General Ojukwu, is the platform that we need to actualise Biafra peacefully.
Fellow Biafrans, congratulations in advance.
The pendulum is gradually swinging to our advantage.
All hail Biafra!!!!!!!
