Are you saying the west is happy the north is ruling over them and are contented with their sub par status in Nigeria? I disagree with you that the west is a deal breaker, explain how they can achieve that without bloodshed like the Biafra? Which Yoruba man will leave his mercedes Benz, nice mansion and education to fight a nomad at the expense of his good life? Can't you see the writing on the wall? The north has all the aces, they know too well that the ibo or yoruba will not tamper to fight them b/c they value their lives more than them else, how do you explain someone that went on barbaric killing because of a stupid cartoon in a Danish tabloid?

The crux of this issue is ideas and like thinking. The northerners reason like their brothers in Niger and Chad and lord Lugard would've done a great job if he amalgamated them. Southern Nigeria would've been better off amalgamated with Ghana. If you think the Yoruba will lead the secession battle, think again because it ain't going to happen and the ibo will not try again because they've tried before. The truth is that i would've been happier now if Biafra succeded b/c the west would've had more guts to leave those Mfuckers.

Ask yourself, what the Niger Delta is asking for now, was it not what the ibo saw nearly 40 years ago? Do you think that if the Bifra was to start today, the west and south south will still support the hausas. Think again. Nigeria is in more trouble than you think. I still believe the Oduduwa republic shall rise one day with no BLOODBATH in Jesus name. May all our oil wells dry up, lets see if these moochers won't leave us alone.

This name Oduduwa republic- do people even remember that Oduduwa himself wasnt Yoruba? He was an immigrant from somewhere else who colonized the Yoruba, or whatever the people he met in western Nigeria were called. To this day there are towns in Yorubaland who will tell you their traditional culture/titles preceeded Oduduwa.


If Oduduwa himself did not name the people he conquered, Oduduwa, then why are they renaming themselves now?

All this excess sentimentality will get us nowhere.

Whether you all like or not, Ijaw fought for what they deserve. So you're now rewriting WAZOBIA to WAZOIJAW.  

doyin13:

Jeez. . . .You sure say u get any radical bone for your body at all

So in otherwords you are saying the Westerners are cowards. People who can't fight for what they want, but can silently suffer torture and pain.

Deepzone i have seen the deepness of your ignorance. So football is your yardstick in measuring economic prosperity. Brazil has for long been producing the grestest footballers, yet they are not given considered as among the G8. While countires like India that has never produce a single footballer is seen as a rising superpower.

The greatest thieves of the 20th and 21st century in Nigeria are northerners.

MC Usman:

16.   Abacha --> $3bill (all sectors)

      IBB --> $12Bil (all sectors)

The list are endless, match this list with that from other part of the country and tell me who are the 21st - 30th thieves

Where did you read that from me oh ye northerner masking as a westerner? Why didn't you answer the questions I asked? I hope it gave you a food for thought.

And all what you accuse the North for is the same thing you can accuse all three regions about. Corruption is evident and prevalent in all three regions. Until you begin to face the real problem of Nigeria which is corruption at all level and by all regions, you will only be deceiving yourself that the three region breaking up will provide a solution. Corruption and greed and cowards is the root of all Nigerias problems.

Etteh threw the only opportunity for women to consolidate politically in Nigeria into the dustbin-shame. Nigerians are about to learn a new law from Iyabo Obasanjo- Bello, a former commissioner in Ogun state, presently a senator and the daughter of Nigeria’s “one time chief of anti-corruption” in the person of Chief Obasanjo. It is now legal to use phony names for contract purposes after all there is nothing wrong with it (apologies to Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello a.k.a Mrs. Akinlawon). For whatever purposes she chose to use that name there must have been intent to swindle the good people of Nigeria. This happened when Baba was telling the world to come and see a corrupt free Nigeria. Who then would be blamed for stealing? The North ?

@ Ibime
@ londoner

Oil is the bread and butter of all Nigerians. Since 1999, the revenues accruing to the 23 local governments in Rivers have more than quadrupled. And in 2006, the Rivers state government’s budget was US$1.3 billion, larger than the budgets of many countries in West Africa. But that windfall has not translated into efforts by local governments to bolster basic education and health care systems that have teetered on the edge of collapse for many years. Yet the blame in soley rested on the North .

When OBJ, a southerner was President for 8 solid years, was he able to change the economy? he and his inbati bati brothers virtually sqandared everything, yet the whole blame is on the north.

The list are endless, match this list with that from other part of the country and tell me who are the 21st - 30th thieves

This is a clear case of dissociative amnesia. Need I remind you who ruled before Yaradua came it. Is the west happy that the north is ruling over them? I don't find any movement substantial enough to back your claim that the west isn't happy.

I have surfed not less than 5 website - this year alone - advocating the secession of the Easterner region. I googled Oduduwa republic . . . nothing to write home about. I am yet to hear of any credible dialogue, movement or a speech with a slight tone propagating the secession of the western region.

West having a subpar status. how did you come about that? If we were to begin analyzing ccriteria( infrastructure - hospitals, roads, schools, education, airports, wealth, GPA) to determine status, you will probably find that the west has the best status of all three regions.

There will be bloodshed, no doubt about that. But that is the cost. The casualties of Biafra came as a result of 1. Starvation 2. Nigerian armed forces. Which included the yoruba faction. Take away the western faction and the armed men biafra would have faced will be reduced and take away the use of starvation, the casualties of biafra will be reduced significantly.

And all what you accuse the North for is the same thing you can accuse all three regions about. Corruption is evident and prevalent in all three regions. Until you begin to face the real problem of Nigeria which is corruption at all level and by all regions, you will only be deceiving yourself that the three region breaking up will provide a solution. Corruption and greed and cowards are the root of all Nigerias problems.

And all what you described about the south not wanting to face the North because they value their lives is the number one characteristic of a coward.

1. Board Chairman, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Chief Olabode Ibiyinka George, over alleged N84billion financial improprieties perpetrated

2. Obasanjo awarded N37bn health contract in error – FG

3. Aviation Minister, Prof Babalola Borishade over the controversial N19.5billion Aviation Intervention Fund

4. Femi Fani-Kayode — mismanaged the N19.5bn Aviation Intervention Fund

5. Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo evade arrest over ,

6. Abacha --> $3bill (all sectors)

IBB --> $12Bil (all sectors)

OBJ -->$16bil (only 1 sector)

7. Coordinator of the Police Equipment Fund (PEF), Chief Kenny Martins N227.091,581 fraudulently taken in cash from N7.74 billion

8. Former Health Minister, Prof. Adenike Grange 56-count charge of criminal breach of trust and fraud N300 million from the 2007 budget.

9. IGP Tafa Balogun charged with embezzlement of 10 billion

@ Marry Kelly long time no see. Why i asked those question was in relation to recent happings. You see the Ibo's have migrated their ass to the extendthe few ones remaining are becomming less relevant.

A practical example, Dokubo, the leader of one of the Niger delta militant groups was released from custody but Nwazuruike, the leader of MASSOB is still being held in custody for the same offence.
