I'm proud of my region. Serious people not noise making tribe. In a region that makes big noise, no coordinating plan for their fake political agitation called Biafra. If the SE like they can copy the SW or betray them

the problem is the south eastern leaders
Who refused to lead hence the youth taking laws into their hands having bought into Nazi nnamdi kanus ideology
Does it also not suffice it to say that yorubas via their oduduwa republic agitation is an offshoot of biafra self determination struggle
Igbogho comes to mind as well

Asgard73:
See as Apc send them on a long journey with their constitution amendment bull crap.. and they’re all deceiving themselves..knowing fully well nothing will come from it...

Funny Nigerian politicians with criminal mindset to deceive the masses ..

Why not Apc adopting 2014 sovereign conference.. instead of nonsense deceit
Or call for outright restructuring .

At least they have a position

I wish all the south can harmonise their positions and present a common front. If possible they should do their own mini constitutional conference.

Ok it is you that will tell the Federal Government of Nigeria which part of Lagos belongs to them? because it was your ancestors that demarcated the boundaries? Nothing less than the Igboho treatment will be administered on you, the moral of the story is simple, nobody is going anywhere, where you own history stops, another person’s starts., anyone who tries any secessionist rubbish will be dealt with.

The Federal Government allowed the illiterate secessionist act the fool in Ondo, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo States, I guess he saved the best for last, the second he mentioned Lagos, he became a thing of the past, history, a fugitive on the run.

Story...history is past, the present is now. And presently, Lagos state is part of Yorubaland, deal with it.
Besides, who is igboho? An illiterate tout who suddenly became a secessionist champion. U seriously think Yorubas will follow him to form a new nation?
Most Yorubas still believe in Nigeria and they are not convinced about any secessionist movement.
Time never reach, when time reach...una eyes go

Last time Yoruba shook the nation, it took international community to settle the matter.
They will come back to settle it again if una madness at the centre spiral out of control.

The british will bring the old colonial map to announce where everybody belongs.
For your info, the old lagos colony included the whole of western region. You want history, i will give u.

For the revisionist and so called historian, this is the colony of Lagos in 1900.
Even the blind can spot the similarity with present southwest Nigeria- Yorubaland.

It will be good for the north to allow the south to rule for the next 100 years uninterrupted. they need to be recolonized.

They are struggling for power that is toxic to their development. the military mighty will not help them at the end of the day.

I'm so ashamed of my SE governors
We've never had it so bad with those crops especially from my state Willi Obiano followed by Imo, Enugu, Abia. Ebonyi is the only atleast working Governor in the East
Shameful

Afriqan:


Still better than beheading policemen and using 10 girls for fake rituals.

Even you don't believe this obvious fake news

BSsniffer:


You flatin0s should hide your heads in shame...... history has shown that you're cowards and produce ballless leaders.

How about you coneheads?

KGD10:


Awolowo was all about his SW region while you accursed lots were dining with the devil (North) and feeding fat at the detriment of the whole South. You fooools had even crushed Adaka Boro's secession movement, not only Awolowo's secession movement. You were on merriment with your so called husband (the North) until the union turned sour and had two of you killing eachother yet you foooools expect Yoruba who were betrayed and rode on by you lots while you were on merry with the North to join you in your accursed war? You're maaaad!

Not forgetting the fact that Akintola, Ademolegyun and several Yoruba leaders were killed by you lots. Yet you expect Yoruba to join you lunaaaatics in your war? Dey use your brain if you've got any!

Funnily enough, the Yorubas had several reasons as to why they could have joined and fight against you saboteur lots however they had remained neutral not until your foolish Ojukwu brought his accursed war into our neutral ground!

@seun you no go ban this one na?

Swears

Which big brother...??

What happened to confab report?
Aburi Accord nko

DonroxyII:
This is the time SouthEast and SouthSouth should also join hands in putting Mouth and issue their own statement but Nope ...

They will keep silent .... And the Proposal will die a natural death !!

Buhari and Osibanjo rejected the confab report. Even when they promised restructuring during 2015 election campaign.
Why do you think they will accept SW governors proposal??

KGD10:


Yes. Ironsi truncated our only true federalism which sank us into the shit hole we're currently in. Zik was the one who prevented the inclusion of secession clause in the constitution. So what are you saying exactly? And how many Yorubas have ruled? You dey mad!

Ironsi didn't truncate true federalism, what you half-wits don't realize is that after Ironsi's death, the regional governments still EXISTED... it was Gowon that took over and actually abrogated the existing regional government structure by further creating more states in the build up to the Nigerian civil war; thus completely destroying true federalism. Ironsi was only made a scape goat because he was accused of promoting "Igbo domination", which was the fear of the North following Ironsi's refusal to deal with the January 15 coup plotters...Gowon met the regional governments still intact when he took over, and he was the one that unilaterally dissolved it, yet every history revisionist seems to be develop selective amnesia on this one.


Zik couldn't have single-handedly inserted the clause that prevented secession, or are you trying to Imply that Zik wielded so much unquestionable power that the leaders from other regions just folded their hands as one man changed the cause of a whole nation's political destiny? Don't get me wrong Zik had his faults, and it can't be argued even among Igbos that he was too nationalistic for his own good (unlike Awo who was more pro-Western region and Balewa/Ahmadu Bellow both pro-North), it was only Zik who carried "One Nigeria" on his head to the detriment of even his own Igbo people. That's why till date, Igbos hold Ojukwu in far higher regard that Zik...

princeabdul:
great stuff, but it actually looks like BAT's handwriting.

Are you highly? How do you know the hand writing of JAGABAN of Africa?

avidleo:
As usual the devil is in the details.

While SW Governor's are asking for local government council autonomy on one hand they are asking for the power to create local government councils.

Who do you think should create local government, the LGA themselves?

michoim:
Do the SW has any major resources to control? Just asking...lol

They don't have any,but they can choose to control their barren land.or can't they?

Are you asking or telling me?

Or you are simply mentally lazy to find out what the constitutional provisions are.

In the 16th century, the Awori settlement was conquered by the Benin Empire and the island became a Benin war-camp called “Eko” under Oba Orhogba, the Oba of Benin at the time. Eko is still the native name for Lagos. Lagos, which means “lakes”, was a name given to the settlement by the Portuguese

The Awori are 100% Yorubas and from Ife Originally

Lagos is Aworiland

Lagos is 100% Yorubaland



On the day the British Colonial Government first landed in Lagos in 1851 Oyo controlled Badagry Area Which they had taken from the king of Dahomey along with Porto Novo (Ajase) in War . The Oyos had fought Dahomey as Allies of the Eguns
aare Oona Kakanfo oyabi had led the Oyo Army

The Abeokuta Egba Army Controlled all of Lagos Mainland Which they had won in the Ota War of 1842 in Which the Oyos of Ibadan fought as Allies of Oba Kosoko and the Awori and received such a heavy defeat at the hands of the Egbas that the Ibadan Army had to be smuggled back home.

The whole Episode almost led to the downfall of Basorun Oluyole back at Ibadan

The Ijebu Controlled Everything East and North of Lekki

All Oba Kosoko Controlled was the Slave market and Port of Isale Eko on Lagos Island, Even Ikoyi belonged to the Onikoyi who was an Oyo man

Again if you hear that Yorubas spent 100 years fighting themselves till 1878,

Just know that the Egba, Ijebu and Oyo Which included Ibadan were fighting for Control of the Coast of Lagos

Control of the Coast of Lagos meant Titanic Wealth. but unfortunately much of that was from the Slave trade

The Lagos territory Controlled by the Egbas , Oyo and Oba Kosoko belonged to the Awori People who were the most Peaceful and accommodating of all Yoruba Clans


Eko is Yoruba short for Ereko which means field and for Confirmation Ereko Market where the Egbas and Ijebu traded is still on Lagos Island today

Also Eko Ende in Osun State was one of the Locations of the Jalumi War of 1878

The Awori have inhabited Lagos since the 13th Century when they migrated from Ile Ife led by Olofin Ogunfuminire who was a great grandson of Oduduwa and a nephew of Oranmiyan who headed to Benin around the same period

The Land on Which Isale Eko of the Oba of Lagos is located belongs to the Awori Yoruba Aromire family till today

Aromire was one of the Sons of Olofin Ogunfuminire

The Otun Ekiti People migrated from Lagos in the 15 th Century and share the same ancestry with the Awori of Lagos

If you don't know that under proper federal system of government its the state that have the power to create as many LGAs as they dim fit then you're too slowwwwww!!!

Racoon:
We are getting more closer to separation from these shedders of blood and killers who think they can hold others to ransome.Guess they will not also call this resolution another gang up against them?

We are waiting for their reactions!

wake me up when it happens. call d igbos whatever name u choose but animals are not civilised. The zoo does not understand gentleness. Na una be d main noisemakers.The animals(fulanis) are just looking at you( yorubas) as weak n food, but they tremble when we(igbos) speak because we too can bite.

But you guys have never spoken, that’s the problem

And I won’t allow you to insult the SW. who the hell are you ?

I am from the SW and I harbor no such ill feeling towards the SE

This is the wisest response I’ve seen to these Igbo racists

Awolowo and SW would have stayed neutral if Ojukwu did not March his troops into the SW

They basically declared war on us when they mobilized troops into the SW

And they expected us to do nothing

Imagine

If the rest of the south support the calls for restructuring, we might be able to salvage this country
