If the North really wishes to douse the tension in Nigeria, they will agree to restructure Nigeria. But since they prefer to drag the South backwards, we are ready to fly the SOUTH NIGERIA flag.
Nigerians are not group of idiots where they will structure their country under "trial by error system". We in the north are not fools to be taken for granted, nobody can play with our sense of decorum with trick of restructuring. The same people who destroyed true federalism, who destroyed regional govt despite strong resistance from other part of the country are today asking us to go back to 1963 which they squandered. How backward do u think we're to go back to 1963?
However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. I will therefore proceed to furnish u with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position.
Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent & consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.
To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".
Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.
But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo & Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.
After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate & lord it over every other tribe
Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.
It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.
Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe.
As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here is a quote:
"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"
Now the reverse is the case!

Thank you for arguing your case without insults. It is kinda rare on this forum these days. I want to ask you a question though please sir.
Was Azikiwe a representative of the all the Ibo people? If yes, why was the same Azikiwe in support of One Nigeria in the Nigeria Civil War when almost every Ibo queued behind Ojukwu and his Biafra?
If I am correct, Azikiwe was from Onitsha and his Onitsha people claim their ancestry from the Bini and Yoruba.

The basics of our problems must addressed wholistically if not, we are just wasting our time.
The futile attempt to amend the constitution is nothing but a waste of time and resources. Any meaningful leader who wants to dose tensions in this country must go back to the drawing board and address fundamentals issues.
A nation built on falsehood, injustice, nepotism is bound to fail most especially for a country like ours which is so so heterogenous.
Re: Obasanjo, Abdulsalami, Sultan, Onaiyekan To Meet Tomorrow To Douse Tension by Duvet1950: 4:08pm On Jun 09, 2021
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd); Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, and former Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, and others will meet Thursday in Abuja on the state of the nation.

I am bemused by the actions of these so called "elder statesmen." They can meet from dawn to dusk, as long as they are not WILLING to call out and deal with the GENESIS of the problem, nothing would ever change! As in life, in order to deal with a PROBLEM, you MUST first identify the issue. After you have identified the problem, you can then map out a strategy to deal with and resolve the issue. But you just can't dabble into solving a problem that you have not fully identified. And this is the problem that the country is dealing with. Every ethnic group has been kowtowing to the FULANI HEGEMONIC excesses.

As elder statesmen, The least we are expecting from them is to demand for Buhari's resignation with immediate effect. This is a good opportunity they should use to blast Buhari and tell him the hard truth. They should remind him that Nigeria is not his personal property and therefore should resign having failed woefully in all aspects

Nnamdi Azikwe is a representative of Easterners, and there was no record that show any group of people or individual who went against his stand, in fact many of them saw it as a giant stride toward their greatness!
Azikwe was the mouth piece of his people!

if that meeting doesn't include restructuring, and discard of 1999 constitution and preparing of new one through each Geo political zones representatives, then such meeting is useless and meaningless



if these four Elders travelled through roads, they might unfortunately encountered Bandits and Fulani herdsmen attacking their convoy






what does Fulani want? why are they killing people on their soil in the course of conquest in this 21 century? what will answer what Fulani want is in the process of discarding 1999 constitution that fraudulently gave them the chance to kill people anyhow on their soil.
