First this man is living in fantasy if he thinks we'll stay with the southeast. We don't need anyone in Yorubaland, Nigeria needs us, that is why they flood our lands by the millions every year. They aren't improving their regions and they are creating more of a burden for southwest government. AND IT IS HOLDING US BACK! That's why Fashola had to deport some people, and he was attacked by the media, instead of them to focus on the laziness of the other regions in creating a conducive environment for their people.

Imagine if we had our own country since the Awolowo days? We already developed a network television system even BEFORE many Asian countries and FIRST in Africa. We were at the FOREFRONT of the technological revolution. We went from leading in technology, to now not even able to have consistent electricity. We had free education, unified culture, etc. All at the beginning of Independence. Now we're stuck here as Nigeria continues to leech is dry.

We have Nobel prize winners in Wole Soyinka, we have the most famous African artist in Fela Kuti, and Wizkid, our movies dominate Nigerian Cinema, the best film director in Nollywood is yoruba (Kunle Afolayan). We have brilliant people in science, doctors who can separate Siamese twins, the first African to fly around the world solo was a Yoruba man. And the largest online Nigerian forum we are all communicating with now was created by who? A Yoruba man. I can list so much more but you get the point. Everything POSITIVE and famous about Nigeria is due to the Yoruba.

Please, let us go our own way and watch us turn Odua into Switzerland in 20 years time.

FFKfuckedBIANCA:
In 1949, Obafemi Awolowo wrote a book tittled 'Pathway to Nigeria's Freedom' in that book he argued that an independent Nigeria should be structured into a very loose federation whereby all ethnic nationalities contained therein would be able to determine their own political, economic, and social affairs without undue interference from others. Guess who was against this noble suggestion? An ibo man, Nnamdi Azikiwe !! It was this same Azikiwe, insisting on one Nigeria, formed an alliance with the Northern Peoples Congress to make up the coalition government of the first Republic with Tafawa Balewa.

That epithet 'Beautiful bride of the North' was used by Alhaji Shehu Shagari as a slur against Namndi Azikiwe and his ibo people.


Why then did Awolowo opposed it when it was represented again at Aburi Ghana by Ojukwu


Awolowo was simply not serious about his believe

The truth is that you can't compare the Soviet Union that splitted into several countries because they were very big,Nigeria is not as big as the Soviet Union.

Best bet is Regionalism and resource control or North and South Nigeria go their separate ways and I don't know if Yorubas and Igbos will see eye to eye on that.

At least, I know the entire South are religious tolerant and literate enough to live together.

If you balkanize Nigeria into 3 or more separate countries the power we yield today we not be there anymore. We will end up like small countries in Africa.
You're. 1000% wrong!
Do you think Britain and France really like to see Yoruba and yes Igbo's people have there own Nation at all?
Never!
Ask Queen Elizabeth about Yoruba's a d what her dead Elders met on ground in the SouthWest before the deepened Colonial Era and after, she will reluctantly tell you the main reason why they Amalgamated the Regions.

Nigeria Movie and Music Industry is Dominated by South or North?
In diaspora, which Region is actually hitting it positively Big; South or North?
Super Eagle of Nigeria nko? Na South or North dominate am?
If we breakup, Igbo's and Yoruba's will now truly Dominate Africa Forcefully because we have the Resources in all Ramifications and it is openly evident. Something France hate to see happening!!!

The North is meant to be a cog in the wheel of we Southerners take it or leave it.

This my problem with you so-called Biafrans. Can you survive the biafra republic without the cooperation of others. Don't descend so low as to insult everyone even when they are making sense.
You won't get your Biafra in a century without the support of the south west or the cooperation of the South south states.

You see why we need to go our separate ways?
What exactly do Yorubas stand to gain by being in the same country with leeches or you think we are fools around here?.
It is no longer Yorubas are Afonja, Yorubas are hateful, they are cowards, it is now Yoruba must apologize.
You better go and get serious with your Biafra struggles, Yorubas are seriously waiting to flush you out as soon as you declare your Independence.

...Ofcourse we know yorubas are more desperate for 'One Nigeria' than other regions...They are usually the first in line to fight against any form of dis-integration....Igbos will never try to convince yorubas to stay in Nigeria,that i can assure you,hence your postulations...Unlike what you guys do daily on-line and off..

...I cant count the number of yorubas who i have had an arguement with off-line on the issue of Biafra...They all vehemently oppose it with passion,and never talked about Oduduwa republic at all.

Awolowo was the tactician that machinated the blockage of Bight of Biafra and The Bakassi Peninsular so that Charity organisations AKA NGOs could not deliver humanitarian aids to the women and children, even the food supplies to the Biafran soldiers coming through that route were bombed. So, actually, the defeat of Biafra was not about the might of the Nigerian Armny but the strategic Crime against humanity that Awolowo orchestrated. He ended up killing himself with RATATTACK POISON. The Gods are wise. The Yorubas are great intellectuals, I am sure they are erudite enough not to repeat the mistakes that Awolowo made. He killed his fuccking self in pains, cos not just did he betray Biafrans that set him free from prison, he went ahead to organize a militia against the military junta, and IBB sent him that merciful letter. Which made him die like a rat. This is not an insult, who ever dies of rat posion, a chemical meant to kill a rat, means he died like a rat. So logically Awo was a rat, cos he rat against his friends. In Russia rats are by contract known to commit suicide when caught. It is the thesis that IBB sent him and he faithfully died even before ojukwu.

Let us not resurrect the pains of the past, even though my old boy lost everything to that war, so I had to study about that war and I can swear with my dicck that if every Yoruba man and woman is to read the Biafran Story and sincerely come to a conclusion, you will ask the Igbos for forgiveness.

You wanted to know why I asked the Yorubas to apologize. That is the response.

What is restructuring?
Re: Why We Will Break Nigeria Into Two – Afenifere Leader, Okurounmu by orunto27: 5:20pm On Jun 01, 2017
Gistpeeps:

A leader of the pan Yoruba socio political organisation, Afenifere, Senator Femi Okurounmu, has warned that if the North remains resistant to restructuring of Nigeria, they will force it on them or break the country into two.

Okurounmu gave the warning while reacting to a statement credited to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, saying Nigeria cannot be restructured now until the constitution is amended.

Speaking with The Sun, Okurounmu, “I am not surprised by the statement of the AGF that the north will not support restructuring. The north does not want the status quo to change.

“They have always seen themselves as the only people fit to rule Nigeria. Anyway, we did not expect them to say otherwise; we must now force them.

“The people supporting restructuring are in the majority, hence, the minority cannot override us. And if they don’t want, we can then break Nigeria into two.

“They can go their own and we go on our way. That is the solution. We should stop asking them but force it on them, whether they want it or not.”
