Okupe is an elder but here, he's clearly speaking like a kid or like an OSU politician.

Can any region achieve anything without romancing other regions?
Or can any politician become heavyweight without building bridges across the country?


Why is the old man now saying rubbish and thereby making the OSUS from the backward region that is currently in political relegation happy..

As long as Nigeria remains one, friendship between different regions will continue.


AND ITS A CRIME TO HAVE A SIMPLE HANDS SHAKE FROM ACROSS THE NIGER? SO ONLY HANDSHAKE ACROSS THE DESERT IS GOOD FOR YOUR ROMANCE?

I agree in totality with the opinions cunninge but having said that one must admit that the southern leaders especially the Christian ones lacks foresight n political calculations if not there were ample opportunities in the past for the northern dominance to be decimated, for instance obasanjo n Johnathan could have ensured that northern states with Christian majorities of minority tribes like Benue, nasarawa,plateau,taraba ,Adamawa n possibly Kaduna had Christian governors with behind the scene organization, enlightenment n encouragement to be Independent of the core north over bearing influence but they fail,Johnathan made the worst of the mistake he could easily have worked for maku in nasarawa n ngilari in Adamawa but he choose to be convinced or rather deceive by the argument of Muslim. ore north,the Muslim core north knows the country is no longer ok with their dominance but they are desperate n determined to maintain it by whatever means,the herdsmen attacks in Benue (considered by the core north as been sturborn n too resistant to northern control n needs to be subdued) is just part of the planned strategies anybody who can't see it must be a fool,I'm afraid to state here that for the fear of the south's express desire to end northern dominance like okupe just illustrated will make it very difficult for the north to willingly relinquish power to the south,the southerners especially the Igbo's who are now falling over themselves to join APC n kowtow to buhari in the hope of an Igbo presidency in 2023 should think carefully,buhari seems popular in the north because he is viewed as protecting the agenda but when things gets critical he can be quickly dispensed with by the core north,some of us who have related with the northerners for long n observe,study them closely knows how sleek,cunning n treacherous they can be,however the desire n desperation for power couple with poor political calculations makes most southerners blind.

You speak like a kid whose hands types faster than the brain, whose comprehension is short-circuit, if Not, what Okupe was saying bothers around 'learning your lessons, you don't need a whole lifetime to learn. Thanks

Unfortunately the first ever handshake offer across the Niger was rejected by Igbos who preferred and accepted the one across the desert.
Please look through your history books about the 1959 NPC-NCNC coalition which brought Balewa to power with Azikiwe as ceremonial Governor General without any constitutional powers.

Why is it that Afonjas are bunch of bloody illiterates who don't ask critical questions.

Azikwe served Herbert Macaulay well despite him being a Yoruba.

Macaulay died and pass the leadership position to Azikwe only for Awo not to recognize Zik and wants Zik to serve him.

You still have hope for Nigeria after 60 years it became independent? Baba okupe, your hope will die with you because there is no hope for Nigeria.
One day, Nigeria will experience another war. I see this coming. The north have always felt they own Nigeria. A country as ethnically and religiously diverse as Nigeria will not progress. A country where one feels he is superior to another will not last. Nigeria will never progress. We just like to deceive ourselves.

Is that fair.?

Why is it that Igbos are a bunch of bloody illiterates who believe that whoever takes a position contrary to theirs must be a Yoruba?

And how does Azikiwe's serving of Herbert Macaulay change the fact that it was he who first befriended the North politically?

What makes you believe that you have a monopoly of the knowledge of history at a time the internet is at everyone's beck and call?
How does it make sense for you to accuse Awolowo of not recognizing Azikiwe in the Herbert Macaulay's NCNC which Awolowo was never a member of?
Macaulay handed NCNC over to Azikiwe but Awolowo was never a member of NCNC. So how does the issue of one of them refusing to recognize or serve the other within the party come in? Are you okay at all?
And do you even know the treachery Zik perpetrated for going back to join Macaulay's party after he and others in NYM had all initially agreed that Herbert Macaulay's ideology was not acceptable to them who were youths at that time and that none of them should join him for being too old with his ideology outdated?
What are you saying?

Zik was always too much in a hurry to please the North so that they may remain in his dream "One-Nigeria".

As at 1900 the whole of the present Benue State, the entire Kogi East Senatorial District and some parts of Southern Taraba were all in the Southern Protectorate. It was still this same Azikiwe that deliberately allowed these places to be gerrymandered to the North just to harken to Ahmadu Bello's demand for more political constituencies as condition for the North's staying back in his "One-Nigeria". How was that as a result of Awolowo "not" recognizing him again? When he abandoned Ojukwu and betrayed Biafra cause to join Gowon in restoration of "One-Nigeria" how did Awolowo's "refusal" to "recognize" him cause it?
Awolowo or no Awolowo, Zik was hell bent on pleasing the North at the expense of his own people's blood.
Michael Okpara later regretted advising Zik to accept the 1959 handshake across the desert.

nwakibie3:
Former aide to the immediate past President, Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe, has said that he and other politicians from the South West have always known that associating with the Northern political elites is regrettable.

Doyin said any Southwest politician can come out to prove him wrong adding that most northern politicians he had worked with played very selfish and parochial politics.

The former Presidential aide said this in a post he shared on Facebook where he maintained that the northern political elites often time, make them, the southern collaborators look like saboteurs of their people.

Doyin wrote, “I chose politics over Surgery.

“In choosing politics I also chose a party, NPN, with a national outlook than the regional party, UPN, that held sway in my geopolitical zone.

“From then, 35years ago, and now I have always choosing national parties because of my belief in Nigeria.

“I am not alone in this class of southwest nationalists. i have seniors like, Akinloye, Awotesu, Odunjo, prince adetona, M.K.O. Abiola,who are all late. Baba Akinjide is still alive and well.

”However and quite sadly I say it openly today without any fear of contradictions that with no exception, WE ALL REGRET OUR ASSOCIATION WITH THE NORTHERN POLITICAL ELITES.

“I have not spoken to chief akinjide in over 3years and I do not have his permission to speak on his behalf. Since God has preserved his life till such a time as this, nigerians are at liberty to (confirm or denounce) my statement from him.

“We regret our association because the most of those we worked with played very selfish and parochial nearly based on master servant relationship. Always the interest of the north superseded every other interests and it must be achieved at any and all cost. Often times making us, the patriotic the southern collaborators look like saboteurs of our people.

“I must add here that but for general Babangida and Aliyu Gusau with very few associates, the wrong that was done by the unfair annulment of Abiolas mandate would not have been assuaged by the the creation of a political scenario which ensured head and tail, a southwest President emerged in 1999.

“People may want to argue that this was not a big deal since it was Babangida’s administration itself that caused the annulment. If the annulment was an error the subsequent incaseration and death of MKO was a major disaster that had the potential to scatter this great nation for good if not carefully recompensed through a political retribution in 1999.

“Whenever we asked for the correction of the political and unjust imbalances done by the military, the northern political elites always give the untenable excuses that those actions were done by through military fiat and not the political democratic system.

“Yet the entire military interregnum was headed by northern officers. This is why today we have ridiculous lopsidedness in distribution of states and local governments in the country. it is the same reason we are a federation run with a unitary constitution. it is the same reason that virtually ALL northerners irrespective of their political parties are united in their opposition to Restructuring.

“It is the same reason that all securities agencies in the country (except for 1 or 2 minor ones) are headed by northerners. Yet our political elite class and colleagues in the north look the other way and are quite comfortable with all this unfairness and condemnable injustices which breed hate and disunity in the country.

“The worst of it all is the unguarded, arrogant and uncaring pronouncements from northern elites and leaders in times of severe national calamities inflicted by some northerners on other citizens of the nation.

“The recent gruesome killings in Benue is a thing all Nigerians should be sad and concerned about. It is not an occasion for profuse but irrational arguments and justifications. Certainly not an occasion for display of insensitivity.

“I personally will never ever do anything or participate in any actions that will precipitate the dismemberment of Nigeria. To do so, will be to break the nearly 60years mirror of hope that I had envisioned Nigeria.

“I will however sound a note of warning to our friends from the North, and this is more partisan, that yet we may appear to have been fooled for so long, yes, in the interest of national unity, we have with great anguish, we have tolerated and accommodated the sustained excesses of the north, we have finally reached the end of our tethers. Our elasticity has been stretched to its breaking point.

“I therefore desperately plead with our friends and colleagues to apply reason and good conscience in issues that concern equity and justice in this country. No part of this nation was conquered by another.

“We are an independent sovereign Nation and no citizen must live in fear, none must be treated before the law as being superior or inferior. Governance must be all inclusive and must belong to all not a few as we presently have. Senior citizens from the north must stop playing the ostrich just to please their own especially when their actions harm other sections of the country.

“From now onward it is the North that will decide if the country shall remain together or otherwise.

“May the Almighty Bless our country Nigeria and imbibe its leadership especially those from the North the conscience to stand for what is equitable and just and the courage to speak against evil no matter who the perpetrators are.”
