ngozievergreen: A look at the core Yoruba states reveals the devt stopped at the 80s.
Everything look old fashioned and ancient.
Ppl should be talking about 2013 tnz not what happened in the 70s

dayokanu:

The development of the 70's is still whats making all the people in your caves flee like refugess to Yorubaland

0monnakoda: One tends to agree with the APC about the timing just over a year before Presidential elections. My suggestion is both Presidential candidates should make it a manifesto issue outlining their beliefs and policies or changes that they will pursue. After the election we can then talk of dialogue. It is impossible to imagine "dialoguing" in the middle of a Presidential campaign. Let us start the dialogue in 2015

Katsumoto:

what if things get so bad after the election?

would a northern president be so enthusiastic about resource control, separation, and census?

ngozievergreen:

Am not talking about Lagos, I mean those yorubatic states.
And moreover, I don't have time for that kind of argument this night, o were ihe a na akari akari.

eggheaders:

There are more Igbo in aleshinloye, Iwo road and gate than all yorubas in alaigbo.

ngozievergreen:

yawns....
I have made my point.
Leave igbos out of this biko, they do biz everywhere on this planet, no matter the weather.

Thank you for your insightful contribution as always.

Igbos' ability to do business everywhere is legendary, well known and documented. However, do you have any contributions to make with regards to the topic of the thread?

@ Topic

I think this part of his statement is thought provoking:

Speaking further on the need for the dialogue, the elder statesman noted that, “Nigeria belongs to all of us. This country was made one by our colonial masters and they didn’t say either north or south should be superior or inferior to the other. There is no country in the world where some people are second class and others are first class citizens so we must sit down and discuss the basis of our unity in this country.”

Ola Johnson:
Shut up! Was any referendum cOducted before Mid-Western Region was created.

eggheaders:


You are dumber than wood. What is there that you can't comprehend, igbos don't go to anywhere in the south west except Lagos, we disproof that misinformation. Whatelse do you want, Keep making Imb..eciles feel like Nobel winners with your hyper stupidity syndrome.

Katsumoto: So someone with common sense finally restored the thread to the Politics section.

musiwa112: One_Naira,, it is not possible for the east and the north to remove any portion of western nigeria according to international law.. even before azikiwe(igbo) conduct the referendum he jail everybody.. if you look at the satellite pictures, there was no referendum, he just made up figures. tht what happened. because they rig election in nigeria.

only a referedum by the united nation can remove a portion... so what he did illegal .. here is asari dokubu from jonathan ethnic group. tell you.. either you vote for jonathan or not. he will be president in 2015. election in africa does not matter.

they just made up figures. you can see there was no akoko edo on the list that azikiwe announced but there was akoko edo at that time and still is. which are yoruba akoko. this is one of the reason people went on riot.

if you look at the figure, it state itsekiri vote yes... which was not true. because after that referendum result was announced the itsekiri went on a riot saying they all voted no... so azikiwe send in the police.. not only in itsekiriland several area went on riot... but azikiwe was an igbo man who had made up his mind to remove the area.. azikiwe was a dictator.. this is why awolowo, enahoro etc did not support biafra.

the whole of the area in question fought against biafra because of this false referendum by azikiwe.

St_Black:

LOL.

So E. Clark, a South-Southerner for that matter, could be this vocal & even accord preferential acknowledgement for Baba Awo, even over his own former regional leader Nnamdi Zik.

Men. THIS IS SO HILARIOUS. !! ;
In fact, BABA AWO, U too MUCH OOOO.

Rogers210: Point of correction; Edwin Clarks part of the country was in the western region, not the eastern region.

St_Black:

OOPS. I Goofed. !!

....Thanks so much for the correction.

One_Naira:

A big Fat YES. Don't try to change Our history. If you Weren't aware Of It, You're Are Aware now. Attached Is The Result

Katsumoto: So someone with common sense finally restored the thread to the Politics section.

0monnakoda: The issue here is can the South have a common agenda in entering National Dialogue

Ola Johnson:
The bitter truth is that the south cannot enter the proposed national conference with a common agenda, going by history. The SE is going there with one mindset - to secede and have Biafra. The SW case even beyond the south. It may want a situation where the Yoruba in NC, would join it in the SW. Gbonigi, E. K. Clark, Emeka Ezeife and all those in their group would realize they cannot forge a common front like the 19 northern states.
