Please Prof utomi keep it up, this is true talk
Prof Utomi, your ideas are good. But, we have passed that level. The level we are in now is, Fulanization, Islamization agenda. Economy or not, it doesn't matter for Buhari and his kinsmen.
Absolutely right.
I hope this comment gets right to the professor.
The stage of grammar and frame works are long gone.
Nigeria is a shattered bottle and forever it will be without devolution and Independence of ethnicity.
This kind of man they will never give him a chance in power
Prof. Pat Utomi is totally right.
Wow... I lack words to describe this country's failure and future
To go together as one nation this is the candidate Nigeria, needs as president.
Nigerian politicians will tell you he is onye Igbo and Ndigbo can't be trusted in the Presidency. That's the truth and also he may not be a member of their cult so no way for him going forward. That guy is a first class UNN.
Haha typical nigerian. anybody who speaks a bit of sense they should be president. Thats why theres a problem in Nigeria right now. any useless person just gets put in power.
@Thun Dara And oduduwa Agitators will be making noise on ist Oct. 2020, that the dont want to be part of your lovely Fulani NIGERIA.
People like wike and Shetima will never allow that to happen.
Pat kudos for coming out with your tribal outfit.
How does his outfit affect the positive discussion? please wake up from your tribal bigot.
Professor Pat Utomi, brilliant analyst cannot be listened to by the crass minds that occupy the upper echelons of leadership in Nigeria.
Prof Utomi is always on point. We are sharing oil money and have left production. Kenya exports flowers and tea. Kenya generates money from tourism. Nigeria is just sharing dwindling oil revenue! The country is rapidly dying due to unproductivity while the Population is rapidly growing. This a disaster waiting to happen.
This is what I say always . God bless Pat Utomi
Pat Utomi now wants to rescue Nigeria, after giving us this disastrous Buhari.
Prof Pat Utomi is a Champion who own the solution to the problems his country is facing. He is asking us to do what the Germany did many years ago that brought them to where they are today. He deserve to be the president of Nigeria, right now. ( Inshaallah ).
In the abundance of water a fool is thirsty- ask Bob Marley. A clear and precise description of Nigeria.
Well spoken prof. Patrick Utomi 👍
Prof Pat is the best president Nigeria may never have
Good ones, especially somebody like you will never be allowed to participate in the leadership of Nigeria because we don't like good governance.
The country is without foundation and it will never stand the test of time.
Well spoken bro.
A few good men.
impossible to do tourism in Yobe and Borno due to the incompetence and irresponsibility of the Nigerian government to solve the insecurity in the northeast of Nigeria
How can legislators hijacked executive if the president is still around?
Very good question bro
I love Prof. Pat Utomi. He agreed to be part of the problems, and wants to fix things.
I love the way he was plain and analytical.
The Nigeria senators are reacher than the country, they need to consider people
Thanks Prof. Utomi for bringing up those points. It is clear that the National Assembly contributes to Nigerian problems.
How can a member of the National Assembly who is not enlightened make laws for the country. A good number of them are businessmen, whose interests are running their businesses, and being paid millions of Naira per month, while there are millions of University and NYSC Graduates roaming about without jobs. Secondly, they have what is called "Budget Padding", where the NASS members inflate budgets to their own interest. Also, Ministries and various Departments are held to ransom if their Ministers do not budge to NASS members' wishes.
A good number of the NASS are either criminals, from both in Nigeria and abroad. These are people who are suppose to be in jail, if they were in the USA, UK, etc; but in Nigeria, they are glorified as billionaires, with no one asking how they made their money.
Political party members place their parties above the interest of their citizens. Rich Politicians want to be "godfathers" so as to appoint citizens whom they give directions, contrary to the interest of Nigeria.
The so-called "godfathers" appoint very weak executives who do not have a sense of direction, in order to control the Executive.
The Legislator, with their huge monthly checks are also provided with free housing and free cars(yearly or bi-yearly). This does not provide for the growth of a nation. In the USA , legislators are not provided with these luxuries because they are paid salaries.
I suggest that the NASS should be a part-time job; that will easy the Federal Budget, which could be channeled to other developmental projects.
Well Spoken Sir
Potential and the brightest Nigerians are absentee in governance. Nepotism is a key issue.
Prof you are always on point
Keep up the good work Prof. We are with you.
Dear Pat Utomi, Thank you for your vision for Nigeria. Please, don't give up. It is true, leadership has failed at all levels. Your analysis of the Nigerian situation is brilliant. It would be vwry hard work though to fix this country But it has to be done. The first task is the re-orientation of the people of Nigeria along the lines you enunciated in the Channels TV interview. And.from there other things to do will follow. Please don't give up. I personally share all the views you expressed in that interview. May God help you and your like to work for the new Nigerian project.
Solution is to negotiate with the British government to dissolve Nigeria and let everyone goes his way
@Abisola Abiodun why?
Please Professor Pat Utomi join Revolution Now .. it's not for sowore becoming a president bc his not registered in any Political party. But it's for (One Voice) for the future of politics in Nigeria . Let all NGOs,Unions etc work together not in fragments. Talk together with the youths forum ..reach out to them ... value them first sir before coming on TV . Those are the people that will give you the voice you need for the past 20yr you have been Campaigning. Don't highjack leadership from them or tell them what to do. Work with them and encourage everyone other big weight Organization .to support this movement.( The house of rep leader is a member of Arewa People's Congress (APC)
This guy has the political wisdom to move the country forward.
PROFESSOR PAT UTOMI IS SO PROFESSIONAL IN DISCUSSING WHAT GOES ON IN THE RUNNING OF GOVERNMENTS. BUT IT WILL NOT BE EASY FOR HIM IN A COUNTRY WHERE ARE JUST A FEW PEOPLE LIKE HIM. THE OIL ERA IS GONE, BUT THE PRESENT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT THINKING.
This man must be truly passionate about Nigeria
18 and half years is enough for HAUSA FULANI to finish their plans
Fulani not hausa, though I like what you said but they are not one
Nigerians, this is the way to use a brain. Prof Pat Utomi reminds me of Prof Ayodele Awojobi of blessed memoty and what it means to a patriot. Prof, keep on educating us, a light to all of us, the 200 million minus few in APC and PDP.
Nigeria will not be better till the masses start mounting roadblocks for the politicians and their collaborators.
Part time legislature. spot on sir. When i saw details of the stringent rules swedish lawmakers have to face, the fact that they are even mandated to only travel by the cheapest means of transport for any official duty, and the fact that there's barely no benefit of being law makers, such that it looks like its a charity seff, i just laughed.
Mr Pat Utomi, run for the presidency of Nigeria and I will summon a guarantee financial support to make it Happen . Unfortunately the Northerners are not going to relinquish power in Nigeria; Ikwo ya fi kwidi' . That's their belief & current mantra in this context.
Prof ,don’t waste your time on this Country . They don’t want people like you Don’t allow them to waste you for us the way they waste Tai Sholarin
Pls we need you in Biafra and Oduduwa
Hunger and starvation doesn't make a people reason well
Sensible Man
Where are the good Fulanis the.good Hausas. Have they been scared and silenced by religious threats. We in Nigeria should try to set free and align with those people in the North who want to see a prosperous Nigeria.
Odogwu pat ! nwafor igbo love your outfit !
Respap
The basic problem with our business and political class is the DOLLAR, it the source of the problem and it is what drives their decision making. A country that does not produce most of its own goods and services, would make the political and business class of that country thirst for the dollar, and be distracted by the dollar. Most countries in the world that have a huge dollar reserve produce and consume at least 90% of their own goods, be it in Europe, Middle East, Asia etc. We have to use our collective mineral and natural resources to develop our own lands. Another issue is selfishness and personal ambition of some of our business and political leaders, they don't see beyond their greed, hence why the rule of equity must be applied in the way we operate at all levels.
He has spoken well yet the centre cannot hold so what do we do, each ethnics nationalities going its seperate ways to build its own country.
Give Nigeria to people like Edo governor and his like to fix Nigeria economy
Sylvester. Go and ask Obaseki how he got the £20 Million found in one of his foreign Accounts. You still want THIEVES to govern you. Pity the Edo people, if any of those THIEVES come back to be the Governor of Edo states.
I am yet to hear any clear and practicable theory of the Nigerian National problem. When such theory emerges, it will supply the DNA of ideas for National progress, and it will point the way to organizational, institutional and strategic changes that will not only create massive employment opportunities and force both the internal alignment of cultural, political and economic forces; but also cause Nigeria as a whole to reposition herself in global affairs for National progress and global equity.
I like the last thing he said, every political leader must not be allow to hold a second passport, and if the political person must hold a second passport, he or she should not not be allowed to hold a political office or, even been in government at all..am a biafran but Pat is right in all that he has said 🤝🤝
In as much as I respect Prof Utomi's intellectual capacity and prowess, I think he is highly naive of the Nigerian state. It is an evil business contraption of the British. Until the numerous ethnic nationalities converge a meeting to ask themselves if they want to live together; any discussions of the so called New Nigeria is a farce. Igbos are way different than the Hausa/Fulani in values, norms, and culture and to a smaller extent Yorubas. Break up Nigeria into ethnic states and have a common custom union where there is free trade. Any other jamboree of national front or what not is a waste of time. Nigeria CAN NEVER WORK as a united country!
Well-said. Brilliant.
People cause problems and issues amongst themselves and People can simply decide to take the very best way and put their strengths and talents to work for their benefit just as a championship football team does. Is a football team comprised of just goalies or goalkeepers??
I trust Prof. Pat Utomi but all these clueless leaders will they give way to reasonable & intelligent people to run things. To answer your question to Prof is Capital Yes. the political class failed woefully.. But this very administration is something else in all ramifications .See what is happening in
Edo State. Does it look like their is control in the system? No. Things have fallen apart, and the center cannot hold .
Really the government of buhari is the worst Government Nigeria has ever seen corruption has been on very highest level
Nigerian Citizens Both Home and Abroad have been speaking on all issues. As he has said earlier, the political leadership in Nigerian is a JOAK.
Until the Nigerian government (leadership) come to realize that, are not BOSSES but SERVANTS, it will be hard for the Country to Correct her mistakes and then step on the path to do the right thing.
A Man who does not LEARN AND KNOW how to follow ANOTHER, he can never LEAD ANOTHER.
Don't blame Ghana for your failure
NCF is needed as this time in our political system. We need educated and patriotic politicians. Those running the status quo are contaminated with greed and lack of vision.
When you were working with your APC colleagues to remove Goodluck Jonathan, you thought the new government would give you a voice, but after you helped them to seize power, they have now sidelined you, and here you are complaining- The bed you lay, is the same bed you will sleep on, please carry your grammar and be going- You fostered this gang of politicians on innocent Nigerians, so you're just as guilty as the Buhari who you believe is not peforming- 2nd base o jare--
Goodluck and PDP needed to go.
@@ramseyabsessien8990 Fine, then stop complaining and enjoy your country and advise Pat Utomi to also do the same- He is from Ibusa in Delta State and a month ago herdsmen invaded his town and killed many people, whilst he remains in Lagos complaining about the government that he helped bring to power
@@emergenceproject6207 if you think Jonathan should have continued then you have no idea what leadership is all about
The government of this country is crippled, I love this man. But Nigerians can’t see people like this because there’s so blinded to the point of the to get money and spend it immediately
Prof when you put wrong people in position of authority this is the result of what we are seeing in Nigeria
Not again...!
Yes the political class has failed Nigeria. No roads, no running water, no state of the art hospitals..... The country is so rich, but living dangerously.
No planning. Billions everyday, in the hands of the few selfish people.
Yes sharing money is the year of living dangerously.
The leadership was consciously being aquiessed for some objectives.
They gather in Abuja to share borrowed money amongst themselves, no plans, no hope, and no future.
It is Evil to keep mute in the face of Truth.
People, Read the following book. Chikwendu Christian Ukaegbu, In Search of Development: Human Capital, Entrepreneurship, Politics and Leadership in Nigeria, Jacob & Goldline Publishers, NJ USA, 2020.
The real issues are that there has been very poor leadership at the Executive Arm of the he Federal Government ; therefore the Legislature is trying to cover up for the embarrassingly poor performance of the Executive arm .
Why won't he let him talk? This is painful to listen to. Allow the guest to talk
Chapter VII Article 51 of the UN charter states: Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of collective or individual self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a member of the United Nations..
I disagree with the professor. Budget is the the function of the executive but appropriation of those funds is the job of the legislative branch. The executive branch is to present their budgets and the legislative branch scrutinizes it and decide which projects are viable. The legislative cannot just be a rubber stamp for the executive
👍Professor Patrick. Seun, instead of asking Prof of right & wrong; why not invite Buhari to come and speak to his people and give people chance to call in for feedback; before he become Cameron president 🙄
At list Spain have good and underground tunnels, but Nigerian have nothing to talk about.
I like what you are discussing but first let us save Nigeria & Nigerians. Insecurity is so much that fear & poverty has made people so hopeless the issues need urgent address to bring Citizens to the right psyche who have right to live & worship GOD.
Pat Utomi is progressive_minded & has been consistent since I was in high school. Sadly, he's in the wrong country. Nigeria doesn't hav a structure. It's a jungle where the only thing that works is dog_eat_dog mentality. Save your breath Sir. Look after ur family & 4get Nigeria.
Nigeria need a sacrificial action such as that Which happen in Liberia,Ghana to flush outdated political,intellitual, apprentices from the country so that the articulate,exposed,intellectually capable hands can run the country..until this happens..we will keep speaking long grammer without results....we need a Messiah to unite the South and East and West to have a regional autonomy...we need to be out of this contraption call 9jadia
Let them deal with things themselves. Theres 200M Nigerians doing NOTHING for themselves or their country. They just beg the west for help and then say they dont need the west they wanna partner with china and then condemn china. Its about time Africans help themselves.
Is there anyone on this forum who believes that Biafrans and Oduduwans will not succeed as democracies and production-driven economies? If you believe that, keep watching Utomi. Otherwise, ignore him and NCF. Instead, put all your energy into your new country. Northern Nigeria will wake up when Biafra and Oduduwa become leading lights in Africa. It will be compelled to compete or its citizens will erupt in anger and devour the leadership. As things stand today, the blood-sucking oligarchy flourishes because one Nigeria provides it with cover. Away with nonsense. Biafra or death.
Nigerians we are only good in speaking good English with no action
If you want a better country, join this group NCF
Hahahaha bro in ur dream abi
For Nigeria to survive the next decade, the country must search for a focused leadership and recommend that both the North and South should go and beg PETER OBI to come and fix this country. He did it in Anambra and am confidence that he can repeat same for the country. We have moved enough like a ship without rudder. We must embark on a rescue mission to save this Country from total collapse that is staring us on the face.
If we don't have the courage to beg Peter Obi to fix the country for us, then let us summon the courage to let the Biafrans go and have a country am quite sure will be useful to Nigeria in a very near future.
Yes, we have potential economists who are capable of transforming a country we believed in, those in the seats of power and the fulanization agenda which will only lead to doomed is the issue. It's a pity that that so call gov't has collapsed.
One of the problem of Nigeria has been that her economists have their heads in the sky.
I wish Joseph Ngharamike wrote his piece based on facts and not on deluded mass hysteria. Nigeria has not collapsed and is, in fact, held together by what he calls the fulanisation of Nigeria. Will Joseph take a look at the National Assembly members from the southern states of Nigeria and tell us what contributions they make to the management or solution of any problem in Nigeria?
I think prof should contest the 2023 election and engage young people in his cabinet if this cabals will allow our vote to count
I was speaking to a Fulani from the North and his thinking was that the South wants to colonise the North, by Capitalism through Christianity, he believes Christianity and Capitalism are the same, and if you speak to some in the South, they will also say the North wants colonise the South through Islamisation... so the issue with us is a mental power struggle for a WAY OF LIFE, some want to live like Arabs, some want to live like Europeans, so naturally, capital flowing in between these two way of life/thinking would bring confusion on how it should be spent and saved... one of the reasons why development is slow and power isn't given to local governments, the funny thing is that these religions and way of life were not created by us, so we practicing either will never be sustainable.
Easier said than done, but a good idea though. What I think is holding such arrangements back has always been the economic side of things, normally the economic side of things wouldn't have been an issue for the older generation of the North, but the easy access to oil money has intoxicated and opened the eyes of the newer generation of the core North. Also, even in the North, there are liberals too, who have convinced the core ones not to think of gaining political regional independence, without looking at the economic impact it would do to the region.
But the South too, have to show sincerity that they do not have the intention to sneak in capitalism and a christian way of life into the core North.
@@JustThinkingAboutIt I get your point, but you really do not understand the politics of the North, it is a mix of core and liberals, and sometimes there are clashes, hence the emergence of Boko Haram, some ppl in the core North actually would prefer to have their own country and don't care about the economic impact, whilst some elites and liberals in the North care more about the economic impact, so there is a clash between Islamic ideology and Capitalism in the North, so it looks like Boko Haram is fighting for poor in the North. The Islamic ideology looks at catering for the economic well-being of the poor with the resources available, whilst Capitalism would not allow resources to trickle down, but it would provide infrastructure and jobs, but those without jobs would not be catered for, so really both systems if combined well could work for Nigeria, where the elites and the poor can actually benefit from resources.
Nigeria's political history is a very complex, but on the surface it looks like North vs South, Islam vs Christianity, but it is actually about Money and Power, across all ethnicity. The old business elites have at one point in time turned against even their own tribe when their wealth feels threatened, they really don't care about religion or tribe, their religion or tribe is money. For instance, you would think what led to the civil war was purely Igbo v North, but it is deeper than that, it was the liberals and business elites in the North that masterminded the whole drama and wanted more access to the oil wealth in connivance with some of their liberal Southern counterparts, and some Southern business elites also took the advantage to get rid of their own rigid politicians that threatened their wealth too, with the help of the Igbo army officer, whom at the time thought he was doing something good for his country, but not knowing he was being used. Some Northern business elites did not like how core Northern old politicians were too rigid about Islamic ideology which was making them lose money in the North, but they knew if they themselves turned against the old Northern politicians, their ppl would turn against them, so they used an Igbo army officer, to kick start their plans, and then used another Igbo army officer to form a unitary system of government and constitution, and then quickly ditched them, so it led to a disagreement between all the elites from various parts of the country, but the common man from all regions were seeing it as a tribal war, so hence the civil war, so technically it was just a mear sharing formula disagreement between the business elites.
Sheun I like this prof. We are wasting a lot of talented people in this Country.
New Nigerian can never happen with people like seun on national tv. Can any1 tell when or as he ever throw real questions at pdp and apc a whenever they come on channels tv ??!!!!!!
Mr Journalist stop asking questions that carries suspicious undertone, trying to make this laudable effort of the NCF look like a political conspiracy. Journalist are part of the major concern, this restructuring has to start from journlism.
Pat Utomi is not exempt from those who ruined Nigeria! Here’s a man who willingly joined, and jaw-to-jaw, was conspicuously positioned in the NPN looting gravy-train. He was already very well informed when he was appointed the political adviser to President Shehu Shagari. He was already a young vibrant academic doctor of political science occupying a very powerful position. Not in the Nigerian sense of making money. But potentially, very influential, intellectually, if he wanted to be. What did he do with it?Cheek-to-jowl he was in cahoots with those thieving degenerates, who were on rampage looting, raping, pillaging our commonwealth. Enjoyment Party!
How can we forget, or indeed, forgive such a young intelligent man with outstanding brilliant pedigree joining ranks with such unrefined crowd as was composed of NPN. They heeded no advice nor warning from capable, thinking quarters, such as when Chief Awolowo railed against their shallow, pedestrian, porous etc policies.
He never thought it fit to resign even in the face of such monumental shenanigans routinely associated with and committed by that rampaging crowd called NPN, who started our ruination, big-time.
Here he’s now pontificating!
I find it difficult trusting these people. Witness the monsters Tinubu and Oshiomhole have turned since tasting power!
M
He has spoken well! Indeed, moving towards the manufacturing and agricultural sectors will create more job opportunities and lead to a more sustainable economy. Its high time we started shifting from just production of raw materials to a more diversified economy.
No wonder there is an overwhelming argument that countries with abundant natural resources tend to perform poorly, compare to countries that lack natural resources but only focus on manufacturing. When you observe carefully, most of the poor countries in Africa and some parts of Asia are countries with abundant resources, such as oil, gas, gold, diamond, cocoa, etc. This is why lots of scholars have argued that natural resources can either be a blessing or a curse to the state that possesses them
.
Half past 4🤤 you helped and pull down Jonathan. Why not try it with APC government. Animal
Pls pls whatever do want to do shld be urgent before it too late. Nigeria is almost a failed state. No sector that is working. Nigeria is the only country l know that don't have a national airline n cannot manage their airports efficiently
.
Question to Prof what happened to old nigeria nation that you peoples are lukeing for new nigeria? The ans is needed ok?" Why beca i don't understand why you people are asking for new nigeria, IF you don't have ans to old nigeria how can you do have ans to mew nigeria how?? Please let's get our safe rights to divide one Nigeria nation into nations then now in quotes;? For peace to be strong for each others for Gods blessing ❣️❣️🙏🙏🙏✍️👥🎎 children futures ahead ok???
Why now? What did you do to expose those hindering the progress of the nation when you were in government?To reform Nigeria, all of you old and current politicians should be out of the scene. You have all failed the nation.
Prof. You're wearing your mask wrongly.
Without dividing Nigeria your dreams is a failed one more than 200 million people of different ethnicity is not possible to unite as one. Who will viikf infrastructure for ti others while some are working other are sitting down watching and when you go cross region the language is different and you are not accepted if you speak not the same language.
The President of Nigeria in 2023 should be an EFIK MAN OR WOMAN FROM CROSS RIVER STATE OR AQUA IBOM STATE. The present Governor of Cross River State or former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke. These Nigerians will do.
Nigeria has had Enough of these.....Hausa, Ibo and Yoruba ideologies. They have CRIPPLED NIGERIA ENOUGH.
Lol
Nigeria is finished
NIGERIA IS IRREDEEMABLE.
IT IS TO LARGE A COUNTRY. IT IS TOO BIG.
DIVIDE NIGERIA.
P
Utami stop looking for your own favour. Stop playing games with peoples lives.
Liar
Nigeria is dead!
Prof you are brilliant but you are not wise. You supported Buhari change and here we are. You are proposing solution for a dead contraption. You have ignored the structural problems of this your so called country. What of the fulani herdsmen? NCF is a theoretical joke. Hail Biafra.
This man is crazy, so he wants all power to the Executive? Nonsense, how about we focus on decentralization/Regional restructuring, or just disintegrate
