This was never Ironsi's broadcast. This is crap concocted by the western region media houses of 1966-67.

All you've stated could have been avoided if not for Azikiwe, Ironsi and the Easterners who fought the inclusion of a "SECESSION CLAUSE" in the constitution.

It could have been so easy. Anyone who wants to leave could leave without bloodshed but NO, Azikiwe out of greed and hope of Igbo dominace blew it all away.

So you see why we say the Igbos are the architect of this failing system we have today. The recklessness of their leaders in connivance with the North ruined everything.

Come 2023, Yorubas will take over governance in Nigeria and things will change.

Simbrixton:
how can someone be so myopic to blame yoruba on everything

Go to edo state and see the complexity in their politics are edo people yoruba

Are Igala people yoruba

Igbos must stop victimising yorubas let's move on abeg

All dese one dimensional way of thinking like broken records

Is not helping

Wow Intresting!

But i think restructuring should be our main goal now.

kingawothefirst:


Presidency in 2023 first, then we restructure on our own terms

flokii:


We had it once you know.. until the Nzeogwu coup and emergence of Aguiyi Ironsi as Head of State.

What makes you think another "ironsi" won't rise tomorrow to abolish the true federalism?

Odingo1:
Yoruba don't want anything in Nigeria, they are just satisfied with Igbo marginalization and hoping that power will keep on rotating between yoruba and north but in 2023 they will kiss the dust in Nigeria politics and they will never recover in the long run. No future, no ambition, nothing just hope to be receiving monthly allocation from Abuja from Niger delta oil and thats all.

Iceberg3:
2023 presidency belongs to the south east.

If any saboteurs southerner wanna prove smart,no problemo, the north continues

nijabazaar:


Can I mention biafra without a Yoruba going berserk?
Even in my office, I get attacked for showing the slightest of sympathy to Biafran causes. All my attackers are yoruba and the staff is diverse. The northern often appear non plussed. But the Yorubas will drown you with Reasons why Nigeria is the best paradise on earth

It's a cause vs effect thing.

You guys love Nigeria and will die for her.

diplomat058:
Well, your conclusion reeks of hasty generalization induced by bigotry of mindset. Many Igbos on this forum too hardly discuss Biafra without calling Yorubas sorts of derogatory names, but I don't use their shameful dispositions to conclude that the Igbos are antithetical to Yoruba progress. This is especiall of Nnamdi KANU who always calls Yorubas hateful names on radio Biafra

nijabazaar:


No. It's not bigotry darling. It's the reality.

Unless you are new here, which is I suspect, all the voracious attackers of biafra here are the Yorubas. Check the Biafran threads here, any critic of Biafra has a Ypruba monikers or known yoruba affiliations.


So, I still conclude that my dog has the greatest chance at forming five word syllables than an influential Yoruba convincing his people on the need to secede from Nigeria.

The yorubas like Nigeria as it is. And why is that? It could all be a primal fear of venturing into the unknown. They, the Yorubas and her affiliates , would rather stick to familiar grounds

SIRTee15:


So what happened if Yoruba don't clinch the 2023 presidency....
What next....

The present Yorubas, especially the political elites are becoming more pro-nigeria and this is very disturbing...
They have this delusion nigeria will exist forever.....

I think it's high time we Yorubas begin to think of our existence without nigeria....
There's no guarantee this country can survive the sword of Damocles hanging over it....
We are too divided and can only get worse....

The 2 things holding us together remain the oil and western powers....
Oil will soon become irrelevant and western power's interest in nigeria will dwindle.....

Besides, the upcoming youths from restive region will have less tolerance n patience for injustice meted to their regions all in the name of one Nigeria.....

The earlier we chart our future away from Nigeria, the better for us...
Less we get caught unaware......

People keep saying Yoruba elites are keeping quiet until they assume position of power in 2023...
Hmmmm....I pray this is true....
because as far as am concerned....
All Tinubu cares about is continuous flow of bullion van into his bourdillon compound viz a viz naija delta oil.....

Restructuring is not visible in Nigeria for now . That's the reality people are shying away from.

Didn't Osinbajo lead restructuring campaign during OBJ's government? Why did he shun the idea now that he is VP?

Obasanjo talking restructuring is only being mischievous.. How many states in Nigeria can survive without oil revenue?

Has any region created an alternative for revenue generation should in case of oil drop like this?

Restructuring bill won't pass second reading ..May be from 10 years oo and that's only if this Corona would reset the brain of our leaders.

llakes4real:




No southern Nigeria president can restructure Nigeria! We don't have the power! Unless you want to cause another civil war. Even big men in the south who are enjoying the present rot in the system don't want the country restructured! Our only hope is an economic crisis. The same way Covid19 is making northern governors rethink almajiri system is the same way this way all our leaders would rethink the country's structure.

SpecialAdviser:


The fact remains that the north knows that any southerner clinging presidency in 2023 will really portend a great danger to the unity of Nigeria.

They may not have the option but to relinquish it to whichever region they want. But the question is, should the southerner become president, will he have the courage to restructure the country? Especially with northern continuous dominance in several areas of governance under Buhari administration? The answer is capital NO. You will still need the house of reps and senate to approve whatever the president wants. This is including the judiciary. Guess what, they already have dominance in both arms of the government.

This is why I make do to say that the Yorubas waiting for 2023 is not just s.tupid, its lack of direction. I bet you time will come and in fact its already around the corner when Yorubas will be begging to leave this country. The earlier they stop taunting Nnamdi Kanu myopically the better for them. All these pretence that one Nigeria is all that they need will not suffice. Time for them to be courageous and bold enough to express their stand is now. Before APC came into governance, they were chanting sovereign national conference. Even the VP at a time called for state police. They even have always called for restructuring. All of a sudden in this dispensation they lost their voice and believed in Nigeria for better for worse.

Yorubas need to wake up to the fact that Nigeria is a failed project. My opinion though.,

bakynes:

1. The emergence of a Southern President, that will stylishly restructure the military to take away the dominance of the North. Remember the North dominate the military without that no Southern tribe will be able to secede.

2. Another Civil War that both this time the Igbos or Yoruba must win the war without any other side supporting the North like we Yorubas did when we supported the North.

flokii:
One thing you must understand is that Yorubas are blessed and naturally ahead.. despite being in the opposition since Independence with Northern and Eastern regions in power, South West still fared well while the duo can't pin point any particular thing they achieved with power held for years.

Pa Awolowo is the reason why Yorubas have a voice today as Nnamdi Azikiwe then wanted two regions, North (Hausa speaking) and South (Igbo speaking) but God pass them and his plans failed.

The Middle Belt region made that mistake which they are regretting today from incessant killings, land dispute to Hausa/Fulani dominace in politics. God bless pa Awo for the great foresight he had.

South West will forever thrive whether in Nigeria or otherwise.

WeneWali:


Lol...start determining now. Because you and I know that that yoruba will not be president in 2023, since you don't believe in rotational zoning that you have previously enjoyed. You have taken your own share in 1999-2003.

And finally, if you start your oduduwa cries when you lose in 2023, the SE and SS will be waiting to pay you back based on how you treated Biafra and resource control issues, together with the North.

Diplomatic reciprocity is what it is called.
