Why do Ndi'Igbo still believe the false stereotype that the omo Oduduwa (Yoruba) are cowards? In the history of Nigeria, only two men have returned to Nigeria to face almost certain death even when they had the option of a very comfortable political asylum abroad. Both of them are Yoruba. In 1985, General
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida toppled the Buhari regime while Major General Tunde Idiagbon (mixed Yoruba/Fulani) was at Mecca yet Idiagbon returned. In 1995,
Olusegun Obasanjo (pure Owu Yoruba) was accused of planning a coup by the blood thirsty tyrant, Abacha (if you don't like the truthful description of Abacha you can go and join him where he is) while he was away in Copenhagen. He returned to face almost certain death. I admired Ojukwu, but I was disappointed that he fled. I wish he remained. I also admired Azikiwe, but Awolowo would NEVER abandon his people as Azikiwe did when he defected to the federal side during the civil war. Awolowo was in prison because of his people and he could have been released had he compromised his beliefs but he stoutly refused. That is courage not cowardice. I have been in direct communication with Gowon whom I admire but he did not return after he was accused of being behind the Dimka coup. Obasanjo and Idiagbon are probably the bravest Nigerians ever. They are certainly braver than Murtala Mohammed who was safely in London waiting for Joseph Garba and co to topple Gowon. The stereotype of Yorubas as cowards is false. Every ethnicity has cowards and brave men.

The more reason the west needs to align with the east...

Lagos would be de-mystified in event the country splits... obviously lagos would loose its popularity and value.

Population would reduce drastically... thereby, tax would go to the utmost low, IGR would reduce drastically also as other regions(countries) would seek self independence.
Development would go to the lowest as population has dropped and rents have crashed making it a less viable business.
The remaining populace would move to cheaper towns and cities as the tax generation would be too stringent for the remaining populace.

The springing industry in ogun state would go moribond as no buying populace.

south east (to many businesses with no buying power)
North.. (unneccessary population would bring about extreme poverty)

just the south south might survive but the area would be war torn.

Lets make Nigeria work, lets Restructure in a way everyone benefits and regions open up whatever they have to struggle to sustain rather than taking from A and spliting between ABCD.. it would only make BCD lazy.

I kind of agree with your analysis, the only region that stands to gain in the event of break up of the country Nigeria is the south south and that is only if they do not turn the region to former Liberia or crude oil becomes obsolete.

Lagos is no man's land. Owned originally by aworis on one end and eguns on the other. And later colonised by Benin. And then later taken over by freed portuguese slaves. And then colonised by Britain and developed by Nigerians, mostly igbos.
Nowhere in history of Lagos will u hear yoruba mentioned.

Lagos did do without oyel money under the astute leadership of Asiwaju Tinubu.
The then president Gen Olusegun Obasanjo wasn't happy having an opposition state and decided to show them pepper since Tinubu was amongst those that stood against his presidency.
It only opened up opportunities and made them think outside the box.
That's why present day opposition states need to think of newer ways of generating money, people will believe more in your vision if they see things working.

Let the IBO's go jare am tired of all these rantings. I wonder who will buy their products when they actualize that.

Sometimes I wonder why its so difficult for people to understand things. Other tribes especially the Yoruba's have the spending power to buy things from the IBO's. The IBO's have the brain for commerce is that not a Symbiotic relationship one is dependent on the other why so much bitterness and acrimony sef.....

Hey there, I agree with you to some extent. But you really have missed the point.

You see, Lagos survived the federal vindictive policies during obasanjo's regime. That was a game changer on how Lagos operates. Till today, Lagos exists independently of what Nigeria to a very large extent.

And yes, it means Lagos can survive without oil.

Then, you said people will emigrate to their home regions, and so Lagos people wont't be able to maintain Lagos, right? Now, let me ask you a question. As a business man, would rather you relocate to a region where you are expected to start from the scratch, or stay in Lagos where you have established yourslef and pay your tax? I guess you know the answer.

You see, truth is, there will challenges here and there, but no successful and well-established person will leave Lagos, if Nigeria splits tomorrow. Lagos has grown beyond tribal sentiment. It has freed itself of religion bigotry. It is the only metropolitan city in Nigeria. If Nigerians can go London and pay taxes through their nose, then, Lagos will run and survive very well. I can't say the same for any state in Nigeria.

I agree with you though on "strength in population"... But I bet to differ on Lagos crashing if we go the true federalism way.or if the nation splits.


Esseite:


First dont start a statement with ode... it ridicules the whole idea...

If the nation splits... populace would reduce drastically and visa's would be worthless because their is no business.. ask zambia and co
where do you obtain igr from?

Most people would move enmass to their fatherlands including non lagos indigenes but yorubas.. due to tax overbearing because the SW alone cannot afford to maintain lagos, same as abuja.

It would be a vice versa scenerio... lagos is commerce, commerce trives with population. It would be a trade by batter scenerio (exchange)... if you inflate the fares to supply you neccessary goods, the buying power would reduce, reduce govt earnings and supposed IGR. Thereby even chasing away the little or no population. And even pushing the IGR lower. Evaded taxes would be long gone as a new system would emerge and the scare not to chase the little available population. Other states would open up and dredge their rivers to take that which you have refused to accept.

Nigeria is balanced and blessed.. if we distort the system its a loose loose situation for all.. we wont be great again.. that is why a re-structure to calm frayed nerves is far better and beneficial than dissolution...

United we stand. So we should all fight for a united Nigeria, we need each other more.

Note, am a de-tribalized Nigerian

Hello again, my friend,

I really like your argument. But I'm afraid you are not quite right in some aspects.

1. For instance, *Lagos would be de-mystified in event the country splits... obviously lagos would loose its popularity and value.*
On the contrary, even though I am not speaking with a definitive tone, I think every right-thinking person will wanna go to where business, inter-communal commerce, a gateway to entire world, viable structure, prospective business climate is assured. Lagos is the region that boast of these attributes. So, value will be increased, not decreased.

2. *Population would reduce drastically... thereby, tax would go to the utmost low, IGR would reduce drastically*
In the even that number 1 above happen, Lagos will experience astronomical increase in population, sharp increase in everything including food, shelter and clothing. Crime will surge to its highest. There will be a massive rise in taxes. Lagos government will find very difficult to cope, but will eventually do. You know why, Lagos works. People like certainty. Lagos gives that. No state...I repeat...NO STATE gives hope for survival more than Lagos.

3. *south east (to many businesses with no buying power*
I totally disagree with this notion.. Yes, South East is industrial power house of Nigeria today. And guess what, that is the key to survival. They don't have to sell their product in the south east. They export to other regions who will MOST DEFINITELY depend on them to drive their own local economy. This makes the south east a PRODUCING ECONOMY. Their nothing better than a producing economy my friend. The south east will definitely survive. Their strength is their Ingenuity.

Abeg, make I go watch movies joor.

Ok bro....but do you know that the major income of Benin republic and Togo is their seaport? And those countries are stable economically an structurally....good roads , constant electricity and good security network,so what makes them different from Lagos,that has a mega port for example?

Oga, Nigeria had many seaports back in the 70s... when democracy took over, our politicians lobbied for other seaports to stop functioning...like in d case of Cross river state seaports...

Again, lagos is only makin that huge impact via the seaport alone, as many itemz get to be shipped from lagos to overseas and its charges helps to develope the state....

Akwa ibom have acquire a portion of land by the governor udom to build a seaport... and Cross river governor have started a project on revamping its seaports as well... when these projects are completed, you will see for urself how lagos state will lose its standard via its income from seaport charges...

Crudes are shipped from lagos.. products (both raw and defined products) takes off from lagos.. and lands from lagos before it's transported to other states....
