South-west Group Cautions Against Agitation To Break Nigeria by Obascoetubi: 9:11am On Feb 14, 2017
The Yoruba Initiatives (TYI), a
Socio-Cultural and Non-
Political group in the South-
West has cautioned against
the growing agitation to break-
up Nigeria.
The group said this in a
statement issued by its
Spokesman; Mr Fola Olamiti
on Monday in Abuja.
Olamiti stated that the decision
was reached at the end of the
second meeting of the group
held in Ibadan.
The group pledged to join
other well-meaning groups in
the country to canvass for and
ensure that Nigeria was
restructured.
It also called on the Federal
Government to consider a
timely restructuring of the
country as an immediate
solution to the increased
agitations.
“Restructuring will end the
multifaceted problems of
Nigeria including corruption,
inter-ethnic issues, stifled
growth of the federation,
widespread security challenges
and general suspicion.
“The idea to restructure
Nigeria has been thoroughly
debated and agreed to during
the last National Conference
by all the geo political zones
of the country.
“This is the reason why the
government should stop
dismissing the idea with a
wave of hand.’’
The group said the
secessionists in some geo-
political zones of the country
were gaining attention owing
to widespread disenchantment
with the state of the economy.
The group said it was
disposed to networking with
the State Houses of Assembly,
National Assembly and other
stakeholders to drive the
restructuring agenda of the
economy.
It said the communiqué issued
at the end of the meeting had
rejected secession and
advocated for the full
restructuring of the country.
The communiqué said all the
geo-political zones supported
restructuring in the last
National Conference and
pledged to join other groups in
the South-West to work out
appropriate mechanism for the
restructuring.

Faceless group, but still they're entitled to their opinion. undecided E no bad or worse pass the following from Ohanaeze:

Ohaneze disowns Biafra agitators, says Biafra died in 1970

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/ohaneze-disowns-biafra-agitators-says-biafra-died-in-1970/

By Vincent Ujumadu, Awka OHANEZE Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio –cultural organization, has dissociated itself from the activities of the Biafra agitators, who had been protesting in many cities in the South East and South –South, saying that Biafra died in 1970 with the surrender by General Philip Effiong, to the Nigerian troops. Addressing reporters in Awka Friday, the chairman, Forum of State Presidents of Ohaneze in the seven Igbo –speaking states, Dr. Chris Eluomunoh said that no right thinking person would support what he called the madness by some youths, who were being deceived to engage in something they cannot finish. He said: “You will notice that Ohaneze has been very silent on the issue of Biafra insurgency, though the youth wing of Ohaneze has been speaking on it. Ohaneze, as the Igbo cultural group, cannot support Biafra and we dissociate ourselves from it totally.
