Evergreeen123: The yorubas had already made their demands. We dont need any compensation. Just give us True federalism, Regionalsim and 100% resource control

Adelaide2:

What resource will you control? Cocoa and amala and ewedu?

500GP: OLE NI IBO

Adelaide2:

What resource will you control? Cocoa and amala and ewedu?

Evergreeen123: You'v got joke son. Okay let me indulge you a bit.

Yorubaland is very rich in both human and natural resources. Ondo state is the fifth largest oil producing state in Nigeria; okay lets leave crude oil out of the equation for a while

The sea is also a natural resource, right? Lagos, Ondo, Ogun all have acces to the Atlantic ocean. (Yorubaland isnt like a certain landlocked region across the niger). How about having total control of the seaport in Lagos? You know the millions that goes into that goes into FG's pocket from the import duties collected at the Lagos port every month; how about having all that into the regional account of the Yoruba western region.

Donmarrius: And thunder will fire whosoever that will opens his/her mouth,to question the rationale behind this demand,or even spew trash as regards this,without first questioning the impectus/audacity,with which the Northeast,in conspiracy with its other northern appendages,is rooting to coner 5% of fund acrueing to the federation account,in the pretext of 'National intervantion fund',for boko haram ravages,in their abode,despite being the architect of their own misfortune.

Let me say this,Igbos never declared war on Nigeria,Nigeria under the leadership of a kakistomoboplutocrat called Gowon declared war against Igbos.
Ojukwu didnt fire any shot,until Gowom did.hence,Igbos merely fought to defend themselves from Gowons onslaught,which was hijacked by ethnic chauvinists from the southwest and north,to commit organised pogrom/genocide,against Igbos.
Therefore,Nigeria must also reconciliate,reconstruct,and rehabilitate,Igboland.

atlwireles:

With regional or 100% resource control, who do you expect to pay import duties to Lagos?

gratiaeo:
Nice question! The useless impostor thought Nigerians are f00l.

Evergreeen123: Resource control wouldnt stop oil exploration in the Niger delta. Resource control wouldnt stop importation and exportation in Lagos

atlwireles:

No it will not stop, do you know how many ports we have in Nigeria, that are not used because of political reasons? We have three in delta, Warri, Sapele and Brutu. Don't expect the same traffic currently heading to lagos to remain. Portharcourt has port, Calabar has one, Akwa ibom is building one, even bayelsa is planning a new port too. That's why I asked you, who is going to pay all this import duties.

Evergreeen123: I know the southsouth also has sea oultets and it isnt landlocked like y1boland. I know the port in Lagos would be decongested when the ones in the southsouth comes into full use in the event of the actualisation of regionalism and resource control.

However, you still cannot take the shine out of Lagos and the seaport situated therein, its an economic leverage for the Yorubas when we get regionalism and thats the simple truth. Ogun state has the highest number of industries in Nigeria, from where do you think these companies would import there manufacturing materials and from where would they export their products? Certainly not sapele or bayelsa ports but definately through the Lagos seaport

As i have written earlier, Yorubaland is rich in both human and natural resources, i just used the sea as a point of discuss. All the regions in Nigeria are rich in mineral resources. Regionalsim and resource control would do us all a lot of good.

atlwireles:

Nobody takes the shine off lagos. All I'm saying, is for you to expect a 70% drop in revenue when importers are not compelled by regulations to enter through lagos again.

Evergreeen123: Definately the sea port would be decongested but the revenues generated therefrom would still be sufficient for the western region alone and not the larger Nigeria entity.

Btw, how did you come about the 70% drop in revenue? Any statistical forcast to support your claim?

Donmarrius:

who is gonna loose,im the event of regionalism?.

barcanista: They should demand for the oil blocks in the niger delta too.


Nonsense

Evergreeen123: You dey mind those flatheaded thieves, demanding for 2.4 Trillion naira, why cant they ask for all the annual national budget

barcanista: I don't think they have the mandate of the entire igbo population. But IF they do, then it is very unfortunate and shameful.
