How shall we share the national cake?
Chop I chop?
I before others?
Resource control?
x% derivation?
Federal character?
Wole Soyinka says everybody should start baking, so-to-speak; and shut up about "sovereign national conferences" already. (Source):
"Each regional grouping should, by its policies, declare an
uncompromising developmental autonomy – I repeat, Autonomy - leaving the
centre only with its competence provenance – foreign policy, national
security and inter-state affairs...
Let each regional grouping and its member states
single-mindedly project and pursue their strategies for the enhancement
of the quality of life and the dignity of their peoples, quarry into
their resources to extract the material required for their very
existence, material that they can exchange among one another based on
their spatial developmental advantages..."
