Restructuring Is A Taboo For The Igbo by DeepThroater: 12:10am On Jul 22, 2022
The north does not hide the fact that they are benefiting from the current centrist federal govt arrangement.

The Yoruba has expressed how they will prefer we return to the pre Igbo Marxist coup era of regional governance citing how the current setup is claustrophobic and crushing their ambitions and goals.

The Niger Delta has made their reservations clear and that is we should return to the status quo prior to the Igbo Marxist intervention of 1966. And to this aim they have been exploring all loopholes in the constitution to exert and take back much of the rights guaranteed to states. Governor Wike of Rivers has done tremendous judicious work in keeping the federal govt off from his state whenever the legal backing is sought. One instance is the successful VAT ruling that saw to a federal high court granting reprieve to states to collect and keep in whole value added tax. This victory was widely celebrated in the sane parts of the south and greeted with pleas from the north . But in Alaigbo republic, not one single comment was heard from that corner.

The VAT ruling and the dead silence from the yeast was a dead giveaway on what I have always stated here that : Igbos are not interested in a return to true federalism. Naturally, if one considers that igbos were the ones who truncated our republic for a Marxist centrist Igbocentric dictatorship , one ought not to expect them to be at the forefront of clamouring for a return of regional governance.

It is for this reason we should see the Igbo as one of the harlots in the legends of King Solomon who demanded the baby be cut in half. It is either Biafra complete with an annexed Niger Delta or we continue the parasitic arrangement preferably with an Igbo president. Where these people get the effrontery to make demands and ultimatums where they have no chips on the table beats my imagination. The Igbo has succeeded in making a frivolous unwarranted demand a matter of public debate claiming Igbo marginalization. I don't subscribe to the notion of Igbo marginalization. I believe they are duly serving a generational sentence of being relegated from any form of public trust based on their grievous sin of both destroying our republic and truncating our democracy. Even still being part of Nigeria appears too lenient for my liking talk more of demanding for a presidency while making empty threats to annex the Niger Delta and seccede from Nigeria.

It is for this very reason that a Peter Obi presidential bid now turned Igbo project is DOA in my books. Obi is yet to speak on restructuring which I know he doesn't see as necessary being an Igbo that he is.

So, can any of you Obidient fellows tell me why Obi has refused to speak up on the much demanded restructuring back to regional assembly?

But why all this uncoated stories, overnight shift works and hatred for Igbos just to install your oppressors??

All I can deduce from this post is the biblican case of Jesus and Barabbas when the masses preferred a known criminal (Barabbas) to be released and incorporated into the society over Jesus...!!

The North has really done a good job in brainwashing most South Westerners to see Igbos as the traitors and prodigal son...Now, an average Yoruba man will rather have a Boko haram leader as President than any Igbo man to assume power!!

Peter Obi has talked about restructuring. In the video below, he said that he doesn't entirely agree that Nigeria should go back to three or 4 Regions but that 6 or more could be more viable. He also said that restructuring would help to bring down the cost of governance.

So are you willing to finally have your old eastern region without the so-called minorities because your greed for their resources is what made you stage that Marxist coup when it was inevitable that the COR region was to be carved out from the old eastern region.

I for one don't believe any single Igbo man wants a return to true federalism. The resurgent Biafran annexation and Igbo expansionist quest has made this abundantly clear on the Igbo aspirations .

COR Region you are talking about was still a mere proposal when the first coup occured. The ethnic nationalities in that area had not yet all even agreed that they wanted a seperate Region, and who would be in it. Ultimately, it was inevitable that there would have been COR Region and even a middle belt Region as 4 Regions simply would not have been enough for Nigeria.

Saying that Igbos dont want restructuring, are Igbos benefitting from the current system? Ohanaeze are one of the main proponents of restructuring in Nigeria.

As for Biafra, every Biafran agitator will tell you that Biafra must come by democratic referendum. Those who vote for Biafra will become Biafrans, those who vote against will continue with Nigeria. The last thing any Biafran agitator wants is to drag anyone into a Biafra they do not want, because that will cause the kind of problem we have in Nigeria, in Biafra.

You can only deceive yourselves.

The reasons for the Zikist Marxist Igbo coup of 1966 was to prevent the carving out of the COR region which was the first docket to be considered by the federal parliament in Lagos after resuming from the Christmas break. The timing of the coup attests to this

Even the senseless war won't have happened if you okoros only took your remaining 5 core Igbo states and split. No one would have bothered begging you to stay talk more of a fighting a war to bring you back. The civil war was fought first and foremost with the objectives of liberating the Niger Delta from your forced annexation.

Thirdly, you igbos have not made one sound towards restructuring so why should we believe your lying peter?

Even in the midst of the resurgent Igbo expansionism in the form of the Zionist movement IPOB, you still kept dragging the ND into your folly.

People like you make me laugh. Go and read how the Midwest Region was created. If there was going to be a COR Region, a bill for it first had to be passed in the Eastern House of Assembly before coming to Lagos for deliberations. No such motion had even been moved yet before the first coup. The COR Region was still a mere proposal

So you people think that people like Nzeogwu, Ademoyega, Ifeajuna, Anuforo and others conducted a coup to prevent a COR Region that was yet to be voted on? Thats laughable

As for the restructuring of Nigeria, restructuring has not happened because the entire North does not want it. The current system benefits the North and they will never allow Nigeria to be restructured regardless of if Igbos are for restructuring or not

Some day, you guys are going realise why Igbos fought a war to get out Nigeria, that Nigeria is a feudal state controlled by the North

Don't worry. When Peter Obi becomes president, you won't even remember Oduduwa again because he'll fix Nigeria of all the ills and illusions of incompetent governments since independence. As you rightly said, only a competent Igbo like Peter Obi has been mandated by Nigerians to bring the country out of the rot of incompetence by thieving politicians that have ruled for long. Just be grateful that Obi is coming to aya the first real president of Nigeria giving back the country to its people.

OP is 100% correct. Igbos are unprincipled and cynical as a people. Money and materialism. Are their Gods and they live to worship both.

They are always missing when principled actions are to be taken despite previously talking the talk. Igbos have never walked the walk for Nigeria or for the greater good. Their abiding mantra is "if it ain't making money it ain't making sense".

I remember how Igbos, despite having nothing and producing essentially nothing, went around accusing Yorubas and the North of parasitism after GEJ lost in 2015.

Today the Yorubas are admirably leading the charge for resource control for everyone, restructuring and return to regional governance while Igbo leaders are conspicuously silent and missing despite previously swearing these are all the things they want.

Their insincerity is world-class and it is because Igbos are Taqiyaah kings who say anything insincerly in pursuit of Ego. Money.

When Yoruba state houses of assembly responsibly and bravely banned open grazing, at the heights of the herdsmen menace across the South, Igbo leaders were hesitant and non-committal.

It was also Yorubas who uncompromisingly, through their State houses of assembly, fought Malami to birth Amotekun and set a Nigerian Precedent.

Igbos watched as Yorubas took on Malami and never gave support. Soon as Yorubas won and gained Amotekun, the opportunists went on to declare Ebebeagu. This is why I call Igbos a "food is ready" people.

When Yorubas uncompromisingly demanded the Presidency must come to the South, as a way to force the North to do the equitable and right thing, Igbo leaders hid in the background hedging their bets as usual as the unorincipled opportunist they are.

Even their noise of Biafra is insincerity personified. You want your own SE-based nation yet every Igbo wants to leave the SE as soon as they turn 11 and many millions of Igbos live in other regions of Nigeria making them the most nomadic Nigerians by far.

You claim to want to be a family man yet you spend all your time away from your wife and three kids. Who does that make sense to?

They and the North profit from 'one Nigeria' most, that Yorubas now wish to exit desperately, yet Igbos give absolutely nothing to Nigeria. Nada. Zilch.. Whereas it can be argued the North at least contribute agriculture.

Igbos will brag about commerce but their commercial endeavors, like their apprenticeship system, benefits and enriches no one but Igbos.

I could go on all day. OP is 100% right. I am a big fan of Nigeria letting Igbos go because I do not see their worth or benefit.

Also, I know they will always be enemies-withing because Igbos possess restive spirit and will never be happy unless leading others and commandeering their wealth and asset. That is the core of their essences as a people.

Everything they say is bullsh1t to hide that covetous, materialistic and greedy mien.

Whatever happens post elections, Nigeria is going to change for the better because Yoruba will now not stop agitating for a fairer and more autonomous Nigeria because we see this as existentially the only way forward for our ethnic group and Nigeria . Biafrans, go and prepare.

Your Taqiyaah will no longer help you. In the new Nigeria Yorubas won't stop agitating for, every Nigerian must now walk the walk. Won't be possible to just talk the talk deceitfully alone as Igbos have traditionally done since independence.

How is restructuring a taboo for the Igbo's?please if I may ask.
If any group from the Niger Delta doesn't want a single country with the Igbo's,personally I see no reason why their wish should not be granted.I see nothing wrong in restructuring which I see as beneficial to Nigerians as a whole,even though maybe not all.

How will resource control, true fiscal federalism, exclusive and total control over mining and sale of mineral assets, devolution of greater power towards states and federal government etal benefit Igbos?

Same Igbos who produce nothing, add virtually zilch to the centre and make a lot of the money they use to sustain their States and region outside the SE?

Same Igbos who spend all their time guilt-tripping other Nigerians as being "their problem" yet show zero interest in staying in the SE to develop and maximize her potentials?

Have you not noticed that your insincere leaders like Abaribe , who make a lot of 'Che Guevera' noise, were silent when all Yoruba leaders across Party lines made the move below that Igbo leaders should have automatically and passionately gotten behind given their traditional talk?

You people are in serious trouble if Yorubas get the regional governance they are agitating for.

IGR, poor. VAT, unremarkable. Contribution to the centre from mineral endowment, average. Attraction of FDI to Nigeria, negligible. Tourism and hospitality sector, zero. Agriculture nada.

There is much more and I could go all day. OP is 100% right with his assertion Igbos are the biggest beneficiary of 'one Nigeria' and will be fcked when Nigerians starts to become smarter to insist, as the Yorubas have been doing for a while now, the unfairness of 'one Nigeria' must stop.
