1freshdude:Okay let me flow along with your logic; let me throw your question back at you. Did the Northern Cabals not fufill the requirements for owning Oil Blocs in the Niger Delta? If so, what then are the Militants fighting for? Why then are they all agitating for resource control? Oil is a natural resource; Land is also a natural resource. Lagos is Yorubaland and it belong to the Yoruba's the same way the Niger Delta Oil belong to the Niger Deltans. Osu ibo, go back to iboland 6 Likes 1 Share |

1freshdude: You might as well come out and tell us you are a 'One Nigeria' advocate, which i clearly am not, coz it's obvious that you are approaching the issue from that vantage point. But in as much as I respect your right to your personal feelings on the subject matter, I really don't give a flying funk, sorry. The real crux of my argument is based on the simple FACT that Lagos IS a part of the SW geopolitical zone, which was the point I made in my rebut to the user I quoted, but obviously you have a real issue with that statement of fact. Big deal. Deal with it. That a Yoruba person owns landed property in London does not change nor negate the fact that London is in the UK now, does it? Or do you hear Yoruba property owners there calling the place a 'nomansland' on that account?? You have a brain for a reason, please make use of it. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Shewunoshewa: Regions will be empowered to create as many states as they want. Which will even promote more development. The homogeneity of each states will even be more emphasised under the regional governance structure than now. Be rest assured that the following states will come on board in SW - Ibadan State, Ijebu State, Oke-Ogun State, Igbomina State, Oduduwa State, Lagos Island State, Lagos Mainland State and 1 out of present Ondo state. Catch a glimpse of the future and imagine the accelerated development rate such region will have. 5 Likes |

HurtgenForest: Your fantasy. As for us in SW, we host more migrants from other regions. Come to think of it, why don't you Ibos have just 1 city that others are willing to migrate to. Just 1. SW has Lagos, SS has PH and Uyo, NW has Kano and KD, NC has Abuja, NE has Bauchi. 7 Likes |

RockHard: I wonder why its so difficult for you to grasp simple/glaring points. It has nothing to do with one Nigeria, there are contract and property transfer laws in every society that spells out how to acquire or transfer a property regardless of if you are a Russian or an Ibibio, you get? So your fear is that people lay claims to owning an area? You are funny and seem to me like a man of little means and knowledge. If you sell all your property to your neighbors the the property belongs to them. The only way to lay claim to a property is not to sell it. You want to eat your cake and have it? 1 Like |

SuperS1Panther:Funny, Which South West? if not for Lagos, look m8, Lagos has a large influx because of over centralization of the hell hole called Nigeria aka the zoo, if you let other regions developed their own regions with their OWN resources, technical knowhow, etc why should somebody in his senses go and live among his enemies because of jobs? Virtually all the IOC are based in Lagos, so what are we talking about? |

1freshdude: You are a hypocrite and I am beginning to actually believe you are an igbo fellow coz they are the only set of folks that espouse such sentiments as you are voicing. You are the one arguing on the basis of fear of losing your properties owing to the assertiveness of Yorubas on their ownership of Lagos. But you need not worry about that as Yorubas are not that heartless. We didn't convert igbo properties during and after the civil war and even gladly handed them the back rents collected in their absence upon their return, unlike your ikwerre and ijaw neighbors who weren't so charitable up till today. All your talk about 'contracts' haven't helped the igbos in their efforts to retrieve their 'abandoned properties' up till today. So you need not worry about losing your investments in a Yoruba nation in the inevitable event of the disintegration of 'One Nigeria', as I assure you that renewable resident permit concessions will be granted to individuals in your category, in accordance with world's best practices. 7 Likes |

Reasons like everyone is sharing on this thread is the reason why I support putting federalism/regionalism on the back burner till we come out of this sinking recession. While a good thing, it is a huge distraction. Imagine having a coming together of say 10 representatives from each state to discuss restructuring (regionalism or federalism), it will take light years before a peaceful common sense agreement can be reached. BTW, I have a picture in my head where minimum wage is say in the N75,000 range in Lagos, Ondo, Rivers, or Akwa Ibom for example, and it is say in the N30,000 range in states like Nassarawa, Ebonyi, Kwara, Sokoto for example, that will surely spur massive migration. 1 Like |

pulsa: Like in US, Federal Police will only take ove , case if it is of national dimension or if the crime was committed on a Federal property or area of federal jurisdiction. To prevent what happened in the 60s where Zik, Balewa and Ahmadu Bello ganged up against Awo using Federal might, the constitution must specify (very explicit) when and how Federal can interfere in a regional issue. |
