THE NIGERIAN REVOLUTION
Over the last years, there has been a sudden realization that the ultimate solution to the Nigerian problem is a revolution. This may be true but in Nigeria, a revolution is simply a tussle of power between one political class and another. This can be illustrated by the “occupy Lagos “ of 2012 against the government’s policy of subsidy removal. Though it was a success, it was not really a fight for the masses but a well strategized plan by a political class against another where the imminent need of a people was politicized to gain points. The good thing about this is that it proved that power belongs to the people.
A true revolution is a fight by the masses against the elite. The elite has no categorization like religious inclination or ethnic identity. The elite no matter how you see it or made to believe are unified in plundering the collective resources of the people. This can be seen in the cases of nepotism and godfathers.
Nigeria can never be said to be prosperous unless “the son of nobody becomes somebody without knowing nobody “
The greatest tool our elite use in holding us all captive is the ultimate rule of power -Divide and Conquer. The make believe that we are different (religion, ethnicity, etc.). This has been the problem. True revolution is never possible with the current psychological orientation of our people.
The first step in achieving a true revolution is in seeing the unity in our diversity. Let me use myself as an example. I am Igbo by tribe, born and brought up in the middle belt and schooled in the far north. I decided to investigate why we think we are not homogeneous. In school, I joined politics. My political class on campus were made up of different ethnic groups (Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Igala, etc.). We fought a political war on campus against politics of religion and ethnicity. This was the bane of politics in my campus. Every elective position is always about: Is he a Christian /Muslim, indigene/settler etc. By doing this, competence is sacrificed on the altar of religious /ethnic differences. From my experience, the Muslim sees a Christian as an infidel who should not rule him, a Christian sees a Muslim as pagan who should not rule him, the Igbo sees a Hausa man as a lower being he should not take orders from, the Hausa man sees the Igbo man as a domineering being who should not be allowed to get to power, likewise Igbo-Yoruba, Yoruba-Hausa.
We have to see the beauty in our differences rather than the ugliness. No country in the world is really homogeneous in nature (China, India, Russian, UK, USA to name but a few). Our homogeneity should be in our psychological orientation. This is the true path to greatness.
While in the Eastern part of the country for some period, I was opportune time listen to the new secessionist in town. As a person who likes to see the beauty in people, I try to see what can be learnt from him to move our nation forward. His fellowship is just alarming and what inspires me more is his class of followers. These are majorly the artisans, traders, and all those we may classify as the third class. Whether he succeeds or not is something else entirely. He has succeeded in pulling millions to his side who now see him as a Mandela who will liberate them from their perceived sufferings. The opium is so strong that his people no longer regard their rulers as they now see them as being compromised and sold out.
I thought to myself if we can replicate something similar in other parts of the country and unify the masses then we can bend the government to our will and establish a new political system where the son of nobody becomes somebody without knowing nobody. A system where the resources of the people will be fully utilized to create wealth for the people. A system where the 1% will no longer hold the 99% under captivity. A system where we have leaders not rulers. A system where performance and competence is chosen over religion and ethnicity. This is the true revolution...

Every region should revolt on their own terms. I dont want to face the problem of tribalism on the revolution grounds. The thing attecting the east or South, is different from what is affecting the west, or north.

Separation is a better solution.

Is there any "part" of yorubaland that is accommodating to Igbos?

vanbonattel:
Is there any "part" of yorubaland that is accommodating to Igbos?

Yeah, several. I have visited all the states in the Southwest, from Lagos, to Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Ondo and parts of Kwara and Kogi, where Yoruba communities are located. I do not think there is anywhere, from Ifo to Efon-Alaye, Okemesi to Ikare, or Okitipupa to even Badagry, where you would not find an Igbo man. If Yorubaland was so hostile to them, why would they keep trooping there?

So out of all the towns, villages and hamlets in Yorubaland, which ones are not accommodating? List them. And if they are not accommodating, why do your people still troop there? Why can't they sit down in their own region? Na by force? You claim a place is not accommodating, yet you do everything humanely possible to rush down there, settle down there, do business and even try to buy property there.... and you have the guts to claim it is not 'accommodating.' If it was hostile to you and your people, would they have been able to reside there? Or is it that you just do not know the meaning of the word 'accommodating?'

Like I told you earlier, we settle because of our need to do business and survive, not because the people welcomed us. They only sell lands to us because we can afford to buy them at ridiculously high prices, not because they love us.

You are just being mischievous. If those places in Yorubaland were not accommodating, you would not even be able to do business there and survive. So stop exaggerating. For you and your people to troop into those places on a daily basis, it only proves that it is your own region which you struggle to escape from, that is not accommodating. Other ethnic groups also live within those places that were mentioned earlier in Yorubaland, and none of them have come up to say Yorubaland is not accommodating.

And no one forces you to buy their land at a high price. You simply chose to do so. So why complain? Are the land owners selling that same piece of land at a lower price, to people from other ethnic groups that are different from your own?

Nobody is getting emotional. You are the one casting aspersions on other ethnic groups, and claiming that they are not 'accommodating.' Like I asked you earlier, do you know the meaning of the word accommodating? Check the dictionary before you start throwing words around, anyhow. Who even said accommodation has to be free? Oh, you want them to give you free lands and houses, before you can say they are accomodating? Why are you people so strange? Things you cannot allow strangers to do to you in your own region, you expect to get it for free when you get to the Southwest.

I will always say one thing. I may not be from the Southwest, but the people there and their cities have been quite favourable to me. Unlike you, I will not turn round in ingratitude, to tar them with a black brush of calumny.

He who asserts must prove. So stop trying to twist the story. You claimed they are not 'accommodating.' I have asked you repeatedly to define 'accommodating'.

Let's do to this way Laudate , the South West is not accommodating to Igbos or any other tribes in Nigeria because;

1. The government of the South West states have no special polices packaged for only Igbos, they neither grant them loans to do business nor give them tax waivers because they are Igbos.

2. The indigenous people of the south west do not issue free lands or free accommodation for either temporary or permanent settlers in yorubaland.

3. There is no special hotels and bukaterias where food is given to Igbos or any other tribes in Nigeria because they are visitors.

4. I have never heard that Yoruba people give their children in marriage to visitors free of charge. Or reduce the bride price just because the husband to be is an Igbo.

5. There is no government in yorubaland that has built, completed and handed over shops to Igbos free of charge.

Now, tell me more about the word "accommodating "

Your long epistle has just revealed one thing - you equate the word 'accommodating,' to mean free food, free shops, free land and free houses. Your mindset is obviously built on getting something, for nothing. And that is where your greatest mistake lies. There is nothing that equates the word 'accommodating,' with freebies.

Even if you go to a hotel today, to request for permanent or temporary accommodation, you would still pay a fee. I repeat, if the Southwest was not 'accommodating,' as you have been trying so hard to prove, you and your people would not have been able to set up shop there, or even think of residing there. By migrating down to the Southwest, you have just proved to all and sundry, that your own region is not accommodating, and it is hostile to your enterprise and unsupportive of your commercial pursuits. Your words have simply shown to everyone, that you are nothing, but a freeloader.

See where you are wrong, can I call an hotel "accommodating" if I am paying for the services they render me? No. I will say they are doing their jobs, and they are doing it because I can pay for the services. If any other poor man enters and cannot pay, he will be thrown out. No mercy. Hotels are never accommodating. They are doing their business.

I can equate the situation we the Igbos face in various parts of Nigeria to a hotel service. We pay for land or shops, you allow us to stay. When you finish eating the one we give you by month end, even when my rents has not expired, your youths start barking again, and we must somehow, grudgingly settle them, just to keep our businesses afloat, because we need the ports to bring in our merchandise.

But while a good hotel will collect your money and render services and security, your people collect our money via land sales, taxes, rates, fines and other punitive levies, and still turn back and ask us to clap for you because you are accommodating us in your place?

You still send illegal gangs to harass our traders, you send omo onille to ask for more money everyday, you send agberos to hold our goods and delay our businesses, you use police to terrorise our people while they try to chill out in bars in the evening.

Go to the dictionary. Read up the meaning of accommodating. Then juxtapose it with your sojourn in the Southwest and the months or years you have resided in the region, you freeloader. Maybe, you will realise where you goofed. For the last time, there is nothing in the word 'accommodating,' that is equivalent to getting things for free. Just say that you are simply a freeloader. Now, we know what you truly are. I guess the touts in Onitsha, Aba and other areas of the Southeast, were sent by your own people to terrorise the traders within those areas too, not so?

Please let's stop the ranco.
My aim of creating this is to promote love and unity.
I believe being accommodating is providing an enabling environment for prosperity to strive. The Igbo nation has enjoyed this from host communities. What we see as a problem is not because we are Igbos but because Hunger has driven our some elements in our host to hostility.
What someone mentioned here about OMONILE in SW is also prevelant in SS. This I'm currently experiencing that in asaba Delta State. In fact I can authoritatively tell u that no one can bother u after u purchase a land in the north (at least not in the middle belt I grew up or far north I schooled).
I still maintain that separation is not the solution...

I'm onille issue is in most parts of the south of Nigeria, but the yorubas invented it. Others just learnt from them.

Separation may not be the solution, but until governments start to protect every resident in every state so they can feel at home. When yorubas continue to ask me to leave Lagos because I am not Yoruba, I should first think of separation. I cannot stay in a country I was convinced to believe it's my nation and face local hostility.

Guy let me give a typical experience I had in Aba.
I went to there to mass produce a type of bag (thus promoting commerce in the great city). can u imagine that touts can along while we are loading the finished products into a truck and demanded we settle them. People urged me to do so else they will just ambush the truck and cause harm.

Agbero, is a Yoruba word. The practice is alien to Igbos till corrupt government Which continues till today made it possible for Igbos, who were known for hard work import them into Igbo Land. Same as omonile.

There is a difference in the type of touting that happens in Lagos and the type that happens in Aba. Lagos touts are complete professional touts, they even attend touting schools.
