Since, Nigeria seems to be getting worse by - it's high time we started clamouring for regional integration, and development as proposed by Prof. Wole Soyinka. We need to take power away from the center. Each region should include tribes, or groups - with a common ancestry, and language group. I believe regional government will encourage competition among each region, and enable developments in all part of the country

These are the new regions that will emerge from the ungovernable space called: Nigeria...

South Western Region (with the inclusion of the Itsekiris and Ilajes in Delta + Yorubas in Kwara and Kogi states.. The Binis are also welcome if they want to reunite with their progenitors in Yorubaland).

Eastern Region (with the inclusion of Aniomas and all other Delta Igbo groups)

South South Region.

Northern Region.

Middle Belt Region.

Prof. Wole Soyinka

Asaba — Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has urged Nigerians to drop lingering clamour for national conference, saying it is no longer necessary in view of emerging democratic liberties.In place of the conference, he called for regional groupings, which would, rather than summon it, begin to “act the national conference” by taking their destinies in their hands.

He challenged other regions to tread that part so as to hasten the decentralization of federal governance. He said: “The constitutional ‘envelope’ that currently holds the parts together should be pushed as far as possible, without it actually bursting, leading to a vibrant competition and collaboration among its constituent parts. “Each regional grouping should, by its policies, declare an uncompromising developmental autonomy. This will leave the centre only with its competence provenance of foreign policy, national security and inter-state affair.”

According to him, Nigeria has proved to be too large and inefficient for a centralised identification and management of its human skills and material resources. “Let each regional grouping and its member states single-mindedly project and pursue their strategies for the enhancement of the quality of life and the dignity of their people.

“Let them quarry into their resources to extract the material required for their very existence, material that they can exchange among one another based on their spatial developmental advantages.

“In short, they should share among themselves, areas of specialisation, substituting strength for the weakness of their partners, expertise for deficiencies in one member or the other.”

He added that now was the time to put into practice the ancient saying that “small is beautiful,” adding that that Nigeria must return to the early days of creative regional rivalry.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Prof. YOu hit the nail on the head and may I also quickly add that this is the vision currently being pursued by the ACN and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in particular but the powers that be are bent on frustrating that effort. We, the sons and daughters of OOdua see this and we would bring this idea to fruition and harness it. We are posturing to becoming the leader in this inevitable development and our region would be the envy of others.

This is the way to go, we really do not have to sit at a round table to discuss how the federal government would continue to squander our commonwealth. If the "Niger deltans" are happy with the way they are being ruled by the ijaws and wish to continue being under the thumb of the federal government, let them continue to do so but I say and I proclaim loud and clear that Yorubas must not live in such manner. We did it in the time of Awo, we can certainly do it again. Oil, is not the be it all and end all. Ghana is thriving on its cocoa till today and Yorubaland can do the same, we need to wake up and start to look after number one. The Nigerian project has failed, though we might not be able to secede, we can become semi - autonomous. Let's do it people, we can do it.

Co-sign the bolded part.

As for nigerdelta, that's just a political grouping - the next phase is to break the Ilajes and the Ishekiris out of ND, to join the SW.

I am against regional this and that, what we need in this Devil paradise call Nigeria is total disintegration as the final solution, let every go their way.

Wily2wily: I am against regional this and that, what we need in this Devil paradise call Nigeria is total disintegration as the final solution, let every go their way.

How would you achieve that without trying out regional governments?? It has to be a gradual process - if we want to avoid another civil war... Let's start with regional government - then we can ask for disintegration later.

the best thing that could ever happen.. D power in d center is to much.. Thats why some people felt they marginalized... Let each region have d power to control their resources.. Yorubas have bitumen, gold and industries with little oil. Igbo have the oil and gas and coal, south south have most of the oil and gas , north have solid minirals and farming. I bet each regions will do great. How i wish they could fast track dis eish. Will be so great

mumu.. Carry knife disintegrate am na...
U think nigeria can disintegrate gboam just like that without another civil war nanamu

All these talks of regionalism and federalism as new road to new Nigeria are absolute hogwash. Anything short of disintegration which will give rise to nation states based strictly on ethnicity and affinity as well as mutual agreement to stick together as a country is a waste of human endeavor.

Nigeria must disintegrate so that each group can chart its destiny. I do not want a central government which will still represent and look like Nigeria of the old.

i hope yorubas are ready to fight hausa fulanis for kwara and kogi

Why can't you focus on the Ekpeyes, Adonis, and Ikwerres - and leave the Yorubas alone, huh?

The problem in Nigeria rests with people such as you and your ilk who would want to go to war because certain groups of people do not want to share this same nationality with you.

For the sake of this stupid debate, give me one humanistic reason why a knucklehead such as you would want to initiate a war because Ndigbo do not want to share nationality with your dumbass folks.

If Ndigbo want to erect Republic of Igbo land, it is their freaking business and the same goes to Yoruba with Republic of Oodua or Islamic Republic of Sokoto with Fulani or Central Republic of Middle Belt with Tiv and its group or Islamic Republic of Arewa.

I do not give a slightest of fig if Ogoni agitate Republic of Ogoni land. Why certain foolish and moronic Nigerians are afraid of sudden or gradual disintegration of damnable country?

Easier said than done. So, what's stopping your part of the country?? You guys can lead by example.

why do you 419 people tell lies always.

So river state would go with Igbo too since Chibuike Amaechi is an igboman

i thought am the only one that cant figure out why people shit in their pants when crtain other people want to be on their own . humanly it makes not fucking sense considering these groups where all on their own before and where doing just fine

Assuming you're right that Yorubas are so strong and so influential in the destiny of the ibos and that they did effectively stop the ibos from leaving Nigeria, my question is, what is wrong with you leaving now? Is it that you are afraid that we would try to stop you "again" or that you are not capable of fighting the war on your own? You do understand that the only way of being certain that we would abort your secession bid is by trying? Have you tried of recent? And don't tell me that you are still planning.

For the sake of this silly debate, give me one humanistic reason why a knucklehead such as you would want to initiate a war because Ndigbo do not want to share nationality with your dumbass folks

Okay, so you admit that we are dumbasses who are not capable of initiating a war, yet at the corner of your mouth, you say that you are fearful to seceed because Yorubas would jeopardise your efforts. Which is which, bruv? We are not strong enough to stop you, yet we would want to go to war to stop you? You sound confused. Please clarify, if you will.

If Ndigbo want to erect Republic of Igbo land, it is their freaking business and the same goes to Yoruba with Republic of Oodua or Islamic Republic of Sokoto with Fulani or Central Republic of Middle Belt with Tiv and its group or Islamic Republic of Arewa.

Well, we wish you goodluck with that. If you are able to do so successfully without blood shed then by all means, you would be an inspiration to all. You should however stop talking about it and just do it since you are confident that you can achieve it and stop using "liverless" Yorubas as an excuse for your fear.

I do not give a slightest of fig if Ogoni agitate Republic of Ogoni land. Why certain foolish and moronic Nigerians are afraid of sudden or gradual disintegration of damnable country

we are not afraid of gradual disintegration, some of us are just being factual. We have talked about this issue of disintegration for over fifty years now and yet, we are not even a able to protest against corruption successfully and oust a corrupt government yet we talk of war? We have to be real with ourselves that if we are just going to continue talking about war without anyone belling the cow, the next best thing is to look inwardly and forget about the central power. If ibos are able to seceede, as I earlier said, without spilling the blood of non ibos then by all means, do so but to say that the only route to disintegration is to fight each other is absurd. first, prove your point by getting your people out of regions you so much hate and no longer want to live with, do things the way you would have it done and empower yourselves.

infact we need to give these igbo kids some orientations.. U want biafra? very simple when u wake up tommorow morning grab nearest ahuja... Go to every streets, every blocks, nooks and crannies of nigeria and order all ur tribes men back to east... Then declare indepence for biafra or beta still buy time on national television and declare independence. So dumb people even when boko haram ordered all southerners to leave north how many of them did? Did dey all leave? Despite d fact that they knew their life was in danger they still stayed putt...

Wole shoyinka brought wonderful idea of regionalism which i think is the best for any tribe that want to secede like the igbo.. Instead of u people to embrace it.. Yall still spitin trash *smh*

my kwale friend, will tell you, when as he become igbo.


Jim ovia will become a poorman the day you create south south region.. I will see how much he will get from Ijaw people.

Musiwa..:
why do you 419 people tell lies always.

So river state would go with Igbo too since Chibuike Amaechi is an igboman

You must be drunk, which rivers state is that, Canada or Nigeria because as far as Nigeria is concerned Rivers state is an Ijaw state

You create 5 out of Nigeria.. and break it.

Good start...

alj harem:

You must be drunk, which rivers state is that, Canada or Nigeria because as far as Nigeria is concerned Rivers state is an Ijaw state

Chibuike Amaechi will join his kins.......confused mallam over to you you ve to do the right thing

if you create south south region because you will be destroying alot of their business, look ijaw people are poor also because of corruption, while they get so much money from the govt. you want take garri comot for people mouth.




What the ijaw people should be doing is to get Godly people in the government of their state.

Musiwa, please shove off and stop this pollution. kilode gan? Pshew!!

What pollution, when someone say may we form south south region. Dont the people who they invite dont ask themself question , if it is to the benefit of their people or not..

Now.. What benefit is it to edo or delta state to be part of south south economically. the answer is zero. Ijaw people want 100% of resources...

So what benefit will that be for an isan man, if ijaw people take 100%.. And ishan man get 0% ..

When they create itsekiri state and cut it with the Yoruba people.. which is overdo. then what benefit is south south then to an agbor or asaba man..

Look People from Edo and delta should be talking about more state and not south south.. The east invented south south to get more for them.. Which is understandable in any nation..


But you have to know mid west was getting same as the east , Now the east is 9 state and the mid west is 2 state.. After they are getting more, they still want more , using south south.. That no tell you story.. mugu

Do you know only a pure fooolishman from the mid west will support south south.. That person must be a foool

If Mid west is collecting N100B and East was collecting N100B before...

Now the East now have 9 state, You mugu now have 2 states.


Dont you know only a foool will be shouting south south... when he know it will reduce is own collection from the centre..


Instead of demanding 7 more state to equal the east.. Mugu dey follow them shout south south.. That one no show say, una fall mugu.. Mugu die , mugu bury him.

Look south south scam was an internet scam which start from nigeriaworld.com own by chuck odili.


If govt gives N180B to each zone, It means the mid west zone is reduce by 66%.. Is it not a fool , that will accept south south....


I just gave you a list of people from edo and delta state who will become poor from become south south region... Now That list have more than 1000 people on its...

Not to talk of people who are employed working in the public sector. Or do you think they will keep their jobs. Most of them will end up lossing it...

This is what will happen all over nigerian.. You want to count your lost..


You see, how many people from Edo and delta state that works in Bayelsa state... And how many will loss their jobs and business in other state, and will they have jobs for them in bayelsa state..

The answer will be, NO...

You see there are Yoruba people In edo and delta state.. and there is noway on earth, you will take them into another region.. When I mean NOway. Take that from me. The next day.. They will overthrow the govt of Nigeria..

Even boys will do it with one word. so the itsekiri ,ilaje and Olukumi people are not going into south south region. I hope you know that.. Na bullet army go use finish you people for that meeting, if you know the nigeria army.. neither are the Akoko edo people going into a south south region..


When you cut them common finish waiting remain in delta state... So you have to be smart. And I dont see, how Igbos in river state will agree with you on this... So tell ourself the home truth.

even I think ijaw people have to ask them self west or east too

And like I said, should not the issue form edo and delta state not be able more state .. Who be mugu for this place.. some get 9 state... and you 2 state. You no know say, you be correct foool to talk about south south..

Do the maths.. If they give N180 billion. the east will get N300B and the mid west will get N60B , and some mumu say make una be south south, and una want foool..

South south started as an internet scam on Nigeriaworld own by chuch Odili.. N300B and N60B that want no plenty for your face..



See ijawland, how it look likes.
