You nailed it.

12Monkeys:


Then why do you want this useless one Nigeria to continue?

The honest truth is that the Yorubas can not govern themselves without Abuja.

You fought a long drawn civil war (kiriji war) for over 23 yrs and also betrayals in Ilorin who sold out to the Sokoto Caliphate.

You only knew peace from both the kiriji civil war and Islamic jihad breathing down your necks after you invited the British to take over.

If the better south (Niger Delta and Biafra) seccedes , you will not waste one minute fighting yourselves over who will serve as proxy head of the Yoruba people under northern rule.

This is the beautiful truth.

As things stand now, you guys are doomed for Hausa/Fulani occupation.

thedarksider:


they may be moaning,but they still dont want to be with you................

12Monkeys:


Lol.

This your lame attempt at dividing the people of the better south no dey work again.

The Niger Delta is even more committed to seccesion than even the Igbos since they don't have a large population outside their regions unlike the Igbos.

You would have decided to look into forming a common southern alliance with your southern neighbours but the igbos will have nothing to do with you given your history of treachery and betrayal stemming from the role you played in the brutal civil war 50yrs ago. The Niger Delta on the other hand have a more recent history of your betrayal in the role you played in derailing, insulting and eventually removing their son from office.

As things stand now, you guys are doomed for Hausa/Fulani occupation.

Answer this questions..?

Which region was most developed and economic viable during regional system of government..?


Name any leader in southeast/ south south dead or alive that can match Awolowo and lateef jakande in terms of good governance and achievements while in office.?




Tell me How can a region know peace, when leaders invest more On sophisticated weapons for millitancy and Cult groups than infrastructural development..?

Anticabal:
^^ The yoruba guy above me is deceiving himself that yorubas actually entered the war when the Biafran forces led by traitor Banjo started marching towards the south-west.

His yoruba people allowed the abokiii vandals in lagos an enabling environment to launch the first shot (and several others) against Biafraaland but wants us believe that yorubaland was neutral pre-Ore?
Does he think he is talking to goats? yorubaland was the command and control center for anti-Biafran attacks and you think that wasn't enough to be SEEN AS AN ACT OF WAR? You expected Biafrans forces to go and look for the head of Sultan when the bombs, mortars, Signal, bullets and Naval ships are coming from your land (the capital) to kill people in Biafraaland? What tomfoolery?

You were even donating your sisters and their big buttocks for the pleasure of killer Gowon and his bands of hausa vandals right in lagos, yet wanted Ojukwu to overlook all that and Go for the Emir's head in Kano?

These yorubas must think everyone is a m0ron except them?

The same reason Rivers people in particular are weary of Biafra. Very understandable.

Google the speech by Awo to western Leaders of Thought in Ibadan on the 1st of May, 1967. Be objective and stop boring me silly with the same aba-made BS, we've all heard before.

Chiwude:
Meshionu gi! Dumb aturu di ka gi. What brought about the useless comparison, if not nzuzu. Didnt Domkat Bali called his ethnic group? Or did he spoke on behalf of others under the term 'Middle belt people'. And who asked for your opinion on this matter? When did Rivers people become a tribe? I have warned you and the other mental friend of yours to stay clear of issues above your understanding but you won't listen. Stay in your lane and stop crossing my part with your infuriating character. Agadi nwoke n zuzu ari.

DeeManD:

The Speech Chief Obafemi Awolowo made to the Western leaders of thought, in Ibadan, 1 May 1967


"The aim of a leader should be the welfare of the people whom he leads. I have used 'welfare' to denote the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of the people. With this aim fixed unflinchingly and unchangeably before my eyes I consider it my duty to Yoruba people in particular and to Nigerians in general, to place four imperatives before you this morning. Two of them are categorical and two are conditional. Only a peaceful solution must be found to arrest the present worsening stalemate and restore normalcy. The Eastern Region must be encouraged to remain part of the Federation. If the Eastern Region is allowed by acts of omission or commission to secede from or opt out of Nigeria, then the Western Region and Lagos must also stay out of the Federation. The people of Western Nigeria and Lagos should participate in the ad hoc committee or any similar body only on the basis of absolute equality with the other regions of the Federation.

I would like to comment briefly on these four imperatives. There has, of late, been a good deal of sabre rattling in some parts of the country. Those who advocate the use force for the settlement of our present problems should stop a little and reflect. I can see no vital and abiding principle involved in any war between the North and the East. If the East attacked the North, it would be for purpose of revenge pure and simple. Any claim to the contrary would be untenable. If it is claimed that such a war is being waged for the purpose of recovering the real and personal properties left behind in the North by Easterners two insuperable points are obvious. Firstly, the personal effects left behind by Easterners have been wholly looted or destroyed, and can no longer be physically recovered. Secondly, since the real properties are immovable in case of recovery of them can only be by means of forcible military occupation of those parts of the North in which these properties are situated. On the other hand, if the North attacked the East, it could only be for the purpose of further strengthening and entrenching its position of dominance in the country.

If it is claimed that an attack on the East is going to be launched by the Federal Government and not by the North as such and that it is designed to ensure the unity and integrity of the Federation, two other insuperable points also become obvious. First, if a war against the East becomes a necessity it must be agreed to unanimously by the remaining units of the Federation. In this connection, the West, Mid- West and Lagos have declared their implacable opposition to the use of force in solving the present problem. In the face of such declarations by three out of remaining four territories of Nigeria, a war against the East could only be a war favoured by the North alone. Second, if the true purpose of such a war is to preserve the unity and integrity of the Federation, then these ends can be achieved by the very simple devices of implementing the recommendation of the committee which met on August 9 1966, as reaffirmed by a decision of the military leaders at Aburi on January 5 1967 as well as by accepting such of the demands of the East, West, Mid-West and Lagos as are manifestly reasonable, and essential for assuring harmonious relationships and peaceful co-existence between them and their brothers and sisters in the North.

Some knowledgeable persons have likened an attack on the East to Lincoln's war against the southern states in America. Two vital factors distinguish Lincoln's campaign from the one now being contemplated in Nigeria. The first is that the American civil war was aimed at the abolition of slavery - that is the liberation of millions of Negroes who were then still being used as chattels and worse than domestic animals. The second factor is that Lincoln and others in the northern states were English-speaking people waging a war of good conscience and humanity against their fellow nationals who were also English speaking. A war against the East in which Northern soldiers are predominant, will only unite the Easterners or the Ibos against their attackers, strengthen them in their belief that they are not wanted by the majority of their fellow-Nigerians, and finally push them out of the Federation.

We have been told that an act of secession on the part of the East would be a signal, in the first instance, for the creation of the COR state by decree, which would be backed, if need be, by the use of force. With great respect, I have some dissenting observations to make on this declaration. There are 11 national or linguistic groups in the COR areas with a total population of 5.3 millions. These national groups are as distinct from one another as the Ibos are distinct from them or from the Yorubas or Hausas. Of the 11, the Efik/Ibibio/Annang national group are 3.2 million strong as against the Ijaws who are only about 700,000 strong. Ostensibly, the remaining nine national group number 1.4 millions. But when you have subtracted the Ibo inhabitants from among them, what is left ranges from the Ngennis who number only 8,000 to the Ogonis who are 220,000 strong. A decree creating a COR state without a plebiscite to ascertain the wishes of the peoples in the area, would only amount to subordinating the minority national groups in the state to the dominance of the Efik/Ibibio/Annang national group. It would be perfectly in order to create a Calabar state or a Rivers state by decree, and without a plebiscite. Each is a homogeneous national unit. But before you lump distinct and diverse national units together in one state, the consent of each of them is indispensable. Otherwise, the seed of social disquilibrium in the new state would have been sown.

On the other hand, if the COR State is created by decree after the Eastern Region shall have made its severance from Nigeria effective, we should then be waging an unjust war against a foreign state. It would be an unjust war, because the purpose of it would be to remove 10 minorities in the East from the dominance of the Ibos only to subordinate them to the dominance of the Efik/Ibibio/Annang national group. I think I have said enough to demonstrate that any war against the East, or vice versa, on any count whatsoever, would be an unholy crusade, for which it would be most unjustifiable to shed a drop of Nigerian blood. Therefore, only a peaceful solution must be found, and quickly too to arrest the present rapidly deteriorating stalemate and restore normalcy.

Ihe inamaghi gi juo nde ma ka ha kowatara gi. Copy this today that Rivers people never wanted and still don't intend forming a country with Igbos. Even though Rivers is not a tribe, the term "Rivers man" has evolved over time as a form of common identity for the dozens of distinct tribes that make up Rivers State.

Chiwude:
Never knew you could be this petty. So because everyone go by the term 'Riversman', just like an Edo state person would call himself 'Edoman' and Benue person with the term 'Benueman', suddenly becomes the so-called rallying point. A Tiv man in will always fight for Tiv interest, the same as the Idoma man and Igede man. So long a state comprise of several minorities, every group will always go at lenght to fight its ethnic interest. My my! Echem ema 'ihe. So why didn't the Ijaw 'Riversmen' throw their back behind 'Riversman Odili' during his 2007 presidential ambition but had to line behind a 'Bayelsan Ijaw- GEJ' all because Edwin Clarks said so. The answer is simple, Ethnicity!
Again, why did the Ijaws bring up an outdated 'Uplanders and Riverians' dichotomy in the last election to support their claim against Wike's Ikwerre for an Ijaw governor in Brick house. Ethnicity! Why didn't the 'Riversmen' Ikwerre's and other minority groups stand in support of 'Riversmen' Saro Wiwa and Ogoni nine during their dark days in the hands of Abacha?

We are not talking about the same thing. Rivers has dozens of ethnic groups whom one important unifying factor is anti-Igbo sentiments. Some people like Oyigbo and Egbema are in Rivers State but not considered as Rivers people. Hope you get my point.

Upland and Riverine is like Orlu and Okigwe zones of Imo State. One zone has been in power since 1999 and equity demands it goes riverine.

I bet you opposed Brexit and a champion of multicultural EU.

Abegi! Japan is a homogenous nation of peoples of one culture , religion and aspirations.

You are talking of huge market potentials but fail to see that the north is effectively pushing for a singular islamofascist agenda to replace all our identities just as they did to control the Hausa people through Islam.

The system is dead and can only be restructured to meet and accommodate all our ideals or dismantled.

You preach unity myopically through nationalism while the north is bent on using religion to break cultural barriers.


This is where liberal nationalism gets fcked regularly by fascist and communist ideology.

"I come from a small tribe - the Tarok tribe in Langtang. It is a small tribe from a small group. If the north secures independence from the rest of the country the Hausa/Fulani will be so dominant and will lord over us whether we like it or not. A bigger Nigeria will check such excesses. So the bigger Nigeria, the freer my tribe and myself will be". - Domkat Bali


The very fear yorubas have of a renewed Biafran agitation is what the likes of Domkat Bali held 50yrs ago.
