dayokanu: This is because Yorubas have always been in the forefront of fighting for democracy and justice. The North, Mid-West and South-East regions also protested. You are looking only at what happened in Lagos. You forget protests in that place was the most publicised and that other South-West states didn't protest as much. 1 Like |

econome: I wonder why its only the Yoruba states and its govs. that celebrated MKO and June 12, the winner of the only free and fair election in Nigeria yesterday. It's sad because all regions were involved. After it was botched, the other regions save the South-West kept off the issue. There is a problem with a country where an M.K.O is celebrated in the South-West, Ojukwu in the East and a Buhari garnering mass appeal in the North. A country where JAMB, despite having zonal centres, requests students go to Abuja to cross-check their results (zonal centres should do this). I opine that the country be restructured as a federation with a weaker tax-funded centre protecting the collective interests of autonomous regions. 1 Like |

Eko Ile:Nah.. most those projects you mentioned already had their foundations laid by the FG as you had the federal capital in your coffers for more than 30 years...your palm kernel had already been broken for you. You have no reason to fail there. You really want us to believe you are not begging for federal benefits a la Mko et al? Which region/people were the poorest in africa in the 70s after the war. how much did gowon et al. spend rebuilding...That region didnt beg....it went ahead to rebuild...the women, traders, students etc all put their hands on deck..go ask Ibb how dumbfounded he was when he came over. Put on that shoe and tell us how well you would have done. 1 Like |

eggheaders:Good....you didn't start with "hey this....." , very commendable, i can see you are ready to take correction from your master .Was it your oshogbo-made ile-kewu Alfa that taught you that your people practiced democracy for 500 years ... Go back and ask him the kind of glue he was sniffing up his nostril when he made that assertion. Lagos was not made the capital because you were civilised..Ok?..It was for the whiteman's navigational and economic benefits. He wakes up in the morning at marina, badagry and jumps into a ship, in few minutes he is on way to america with his shipload of slaves. when you get to your marakanta tell him i said so. he should really give western education a shot. 1 Like |

Why are most people who should know better still dwelling in past glory as a reference for today's competition. The war is over, the victors like France and Britain can no longer compete with the vanquished Germany. Days are gone when the past puts food on the table. Acquired is always far better than Ascribed. The Table has turned, the bereaved will soon sing and dance. Using media propaganda to sing your people to stardom while demonizing your opponents wouldn't get you anywhere. Times have changed, the colonizer will soon be colonised. The usual song "go back to your village" is no longer hummed but openly sang even by their first class Governor as a form of conceding to helpless defeat. In one Nigeria, we will prosper by competing for equality in every street, cities and states across River Niger and Benue. 1 Like |

dozzybaba:The south west does not need any body's blood to get what we want, we shed our blood for june 12 and eventually got what we wanted, we asked for 4 years, we got 8. some people shed a billion gallons of blood and got nothing almost 50 years after, so please keep your precious blood. We dont need it. Thanks |

chino11: How popular and acceptable was Zik in the west and in the north? He was a Nationalist in his mindset, but Nigeria is not such a nation. I think you missed my point! I am just saying that no matter how Pan Nigerian one can be, his origin will still determine where he will be accepted and where he will be rejected. You can remember how the North defended Yaradua even though the man was incapacitated by sickness. There is no common interest for Nigeria. There is no Nigerian today that will be accepted by all the Six Zone today and it has always been like that since Nigeria was created by the British people who unfortunately, had arrogated to themselves the power to change, manipulate and define the destinies of other people. |
Re: MKO And June 12 Celebrated Only By Yorubas by chino11(m): 8:33am On Jun 14, 2013 |
noblezone: Are you the one saying this? Great Zik was elected in the core of SW until Awolowo introduced tribalism in Nigeria. Zik is equally have same acceptance in the north. I must confess that after Zik, Nigeria is yet to have another true nationalist and Pan Africanist in the mould of Owelle of Onitsha. |
Re: MKO And June 12 Celebrated Only By Yorubas by Nobody: 10:30am On Jun 14, 2013 |
chino11: I wont contend with you on the acceptance of Zik in the south West. However it was, it is now only history. If tribalism prospered in the hands of Awo, it was because the country was conducive to breed tribalism. and we cannot have such a feat of Nationalist in today's Nigeria. The sooner we look for a solution that will last, the better. |

bloggernaija:It is you that doesn't know what democracy is. You also don't know your history. Igbo societies have been practising participatory democracy long b/4 the British. Unlike the Yoruba that had kings, in traditional Igbo democracy, every man had a say in matters that affected their communities. Other Nigerians (including many Yorubas) do not care too much about Abiola and June 12 b/c Abiola was a thief (remember he was an "International Thief Thief" like Fela called him) and there was nothing democratic about June 12.
