cashcpt: Gen Alani Akinrinade led hundreds of Ipetumodu men (my father included)eastward to destroy the Biafrans, m very proud of that, now our sights are on a new campaign. Call us cowards but we win wars with careful plans

In war and love everything is fair . . .

Truth is a very bitter pill to swallow, bt greed wuld nt allow, if u ar staying with a person whose tribe, religion, ethnicity u despise or abhor, wat ar u? A hypocrite. Hypocrisy is the foundation upon which all nigeria's problems ar built, it is a disease dat spreads like HIV. And highly contagious, its only solution is by quarantine. Unless nigeria splits apart, lives wuld nt b valued. hypocrisy gave birth to coruption, nw no body wil allow his own to suffer punishment for corupt charges wen corupt persons frm oda tribe walks freely. Coruption has her own children..... . Wen we continue to allow our children grow up seeing and hearing of the way lives are snatched by som pple joined wit us, on the claim of their own divine beliefs, den we are destroying dem. Wen humans hv gone wild like animals, it is beta to tame dem until u relocate dem to the safari or desert.

Paul John: Why can't our leaders for ones drop ethnic card, and face reality?

It will only take a sensible Leader to know that our problem is ethnicity.

Paul John: Former Chief of Defence Staff, Lt. Gen. Alani Akinrinade (retd), has said Nigeria is on the road to disintegration and can only be rescued when the citizens agree to discuss issues affecting it.

He added that such discussions must border on what the ethnic nationalities in the country genuinely desire.

Akinrinade, who is also the convener of Yoruba Assembly, spoke to journalists in Lagos on Monday against the backdrop of the conference of South-West leaders holding on Thursday in Ibadan, Oyo State.

He said, “Disintegration for Nigeria is not out of possibility. We are not far from the road to disintegration. It will be the fault of all us if it happens. Let us sit together and speak honest truths to one another. Let us use superior arguments among ourselves in the spirit of give and take to decide what we want.”

The former CDS also said Yorubas must re-appraise themselves and decide their destiny within the Nigerian nation.

He stated that it was time leaders in the South-West sat together and discussed issues affecting the region.

Akinrinade said, ” It is our belief that the conference will afford the Yoruba the opportunity to sit together and revalidate their position on the Nigerian nation and present it so that we will reflect on it soberly.”

He stressed that the people in the region had never hidden their clamour for autonomy to be given to ethnic nationalities in the country for them to develop at their pace.

According to him, it is wrong for anyone to say such call is not negotiable and unpatriotic.

Akinrinade noted that there was no other way to resolve the challenges confronting the country than through honest discussions among the ethnic.

What is reality? please explain.

Many N/Landers lack the ability to read and comprehend what they read thoroughly.

I'll lend a helping hand.

What the general is saying is that should Nigeria continue this way, we'll most likely find ourself on the road to disintegration. Whether he is right or not is not relevant here. He is free as you are to express his opinion which he just did.
He at no time called for disintegration. He only gave a warning based on his personal observation and advised that we held an SNC as soon as possible to avoid disintegration.
An SNC doesn't necessarily lead to disintegration.
He's still very much patriotic.I guess he is calling for true federalism.


Understood
Now say thank you.

The former CDS and his cohorts are not serious people. When the hit is hot they will run for shelter abroad. Most of his brothers are depedent on the oil section and government for survival and are comfortable the way things are going. Some of his former NADECO comrades are now politicians who are no longer interested in a SNC.

i think what he's saying is measures are being put in place which will sooner or later pave the way for an outright war.

it will catch people by surprise because they wont know how it was able to happen.

kooto:

"Reality" as used in the post you quoted, means we Nigeria behaving politely, and not making Ethnicity our major factor in managing the country. But putting right and capable people on the leadership seat, Like it's done in progressive countries.

U̶̲̥̅̊ re just simply stup.id..

naija waz neva a country due 2 these.(1) religious differences_muslims n kristians and as such northern muslims lyk blood pass any thing.(2)wickedness n dishonesty.(3)greed_in a demokratic setting,politicians are allowed 2 steal b not 2 d detriment of d citizens who they ar serving.it is simply 2 much naija pothieficians ar simply crowned robbers.(4)tribal loyalty and sentiments_this chain can neva b broken and as long as it exists there must b hatred.it is beta dis illusion called nigeria is dissolved.make igbo,awusa,yoruba and others and evrybody govern themself.

As if he's saying anything new. It is a well known fact, only Ignorant people, still believe otherwise.

Paul John: That's why development is slow. We claim to be one but divided. I think it'll be better if we divide and stand on our own, or we unit and drop the Ethnic thing. Than to be as a country and divided within.

l have been saying this several times that d best thing 4 Nigeria is 2 disintegrate because we have not been living as one nation. Disintegration will give room 4 regional development.

Billyonaire: What will I personally gain from disintegration. Nothing! What will you personally gain ?

peace and rest of mind for sure. 2ndly, experience to advice others.

Gen. Alani(rtd) has not said anything new.
Nigeria is about to pass the stage for SNC. Let him that has ears hear what awaits this unholy contraption. The unnecessary innocent blood spilt for 'one nigeria is too much'. Those who are fighting tooth and nail to maintain the status quo should know that freedom is unnegotiable... When the time comes like Xerxes, they would know that even the god-king bleeds.
The wise one said that 'high fences and deep moats do not guarantee unity...doing good to the populace(justice & equity) achieves this'.
Salutation to the progressive.

martin123: LORD LUGARD ON NIGERIANS AND AFRICANS IN GENERAL


1926


In character and temperament" wrote Lord Lugard, "the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person. Lacking in self control,
discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewelry. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future, or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than the that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the State he has reached. Through the ages the African appears to have evolved no organized religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural"

He lacks the power of organization, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility
 
....he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal -an instinct rather than a moral virtue

......In brief, the virtues and defects of this race-type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy

.......Perhaps the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his ability to visualize the future"

Lugard must have been on crack when he wrote that shit

Wait a minute let me get this right....Yorubas carried naija for head, fought for one naija and gladly fought for nigeria during the civil war..

Now this same Yorubas say dem no one gree for one naija again? VERY CONFUSED LOT....

lauyan Abuja: Lousy Yorubas are hypocrite. Much talk, less action.

Mind ur speech/speeches on this forum... U don't insult others because u want to make points. Even d English understands idioms. Yorubas are not only d hypocrite(its all tribes in Nigeria)/ that is involved in much talks and less actions.. D record is there. U don't bother going to war when u see d clear future that u cannot win it. Yes other tribes may show actions but did they win or ever won a battle Even to Nigeria struggle of today.. Some regions are with minimum of 6states why some are 5states & some still have d courage of saying much talk than action.. Who n who in d making is making noise/noises For d yorubas says "its d empty barrel that makes noise most. The record is there, we can make findings and confirm. Who & who fought and who & who won... Who led d battle, who won d battle..who made d loudest noise and who never loud talks but effective in battles.. Am a yoruba man from kwara state. Am waiting for a reply.. I never support or against d general's topic but we must talk d truth n face realities.

hahahahaha... Without foreign military aid(in cash and in kind), Nigeria(especially yorubas) would have become Biafran slaves by now.

Callotti:

Aburi Discord Part 2.
We are waiting for the 'citizens' to agree oooooooooo. . . .Kwenu Yaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
The citizens of Nairaland or the citizens of NiGGeria?


Make I go siddon jeje wait for 'abandoned property' jare!

Oya citizens. . .AGREE!!!

lmao!!!!!

Nigeria disintegration is not as difficult as many think. It's difficult when a part wants to break away like Biafra (an unrecognised territory) did but not difficult when the amalgamation is nullified. We will end up with our countries: Northern Nigeria, Southern Nigeria and Lagos. Anyone could then rename their country to a more favourable name.

Show respect for elderly,at least he is older than ur father.

Billyonaire: No one should listen to all these "Retired" "Ex" "Former" old fools who are threatened by joblessness that politics and political gains are their only expected means of survival. Lt. Gen. Alani Akinrinade (retd), I curse you in the name of Nairaland. Die ! Die !! Die!!!

PointB:

[b]Ethnicism [/b]is the current reality! When are you going to get that into you skull. Nigeria is no country, we are not, and will NEVER be one, without discussion! Why is this hard for some of you to fathom? Na wa oo.

what makes you think that the yoruba is one indivisible entity? i Dont know what create this self style arrogance in this so called yoruba apart from their continued confiscation and personalisation of lagos, which they know very well that they don't own. if there is a break up, what makes then feel that lagos will be a part of them. south West without lagos is not more viable than kogi state. if the Yoruba cannot survive within, they surely cannot survive without lagos. this Position of Akinrinde, calls for setting up of old people's home to take care people like him.

PointB: Well said Lt. Gen. Alani Akinrinade.

Let Yoruba Nigerians keep playing ostrich until the country explode in their face!

Buhahhahahaa, buhahahaha

Zeus I: hahahahaha... Without foreign military aid(in cash and in kind), Nigeria(especially yorubas) would have become Biafran slaves by now.

Would have, could have...excuse traders, perenial dreamers.. Fact on ground is that we killed you ppl wholesale and prospered exceedingly at your demise.

My father belong to the Yoruba ethnic group, though, the major problems of Nigeria are largely coming from the three major ethnicity of Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa!

Do away with their troubles the nation will move forward!

True talk from the earstwhile CDS. But believe it or not, the much talked about "talk" may not even be able to quell this thing that has been looming in the horizon. Abi no be d naija wey i kw agn?

@Blacoracle

You posted trash up there.

A man doesn't claim what he already has. It's like telling GEJ that he's claiming to be president. He'll just ignore you and recommend you for psychiatric tests.
