This Swiszerland that you reference... I bet you don't know much about its internal structure. I have been to Geneva several times and at least twice this year, so I can relate. Geneva has been a different state from the beginning, a financial hub and had to share bordeless country with france and other surrounding countries. It has been a well sustained state and very rich before standing on its own. Infact it was given out much financial support and has one of the most stable economy. What is SE position in the comittee of states in Nigeria? please check the IGR for the given states in SE...

Now let me tell you, it is not a crime to ask for independence...what I want you to know is that, you would want to make sure tjat you are in good standing, financially and economically before you do so, if not the part of country will surfer.

I will likened Biafra to a head of a family, as a part of an extended family, who'd ask for isolation without having both finamcial and ecomomic independence. His family will surfer and at the end of the day they will go back to the extended family for help and support...and what do you think will happen?

Sentiment apart the only region the can collectively ask for independence and not surfer much is SW, but even at that, the SW will pay the price too, but not to the magnitude of other regions.

So your swisszerland example is half baked bro...and in addition, things a very expensive. Most people live in France and work in Geneva due to the expensive nature of the nation....You can guess why now.

Summarry is SE would want to be financially and economically stable before secede, if not, the innocent people will surfer. Having strength is not the ultimate but ability to apply wisdom to judiciously use the strength to maximize positive impact can not be quantify.

Alagbara mònmoń ero baba ole ni...Says a Yoruba adage.

Chai, you dey fall my hand bro, don't explain to them, if with a huge population like theirs, there are no people who can do SIMPLE ANALYSIS of what they are asking for, how can your analysis be of any help to them.
The driving force is their HATERED FOR HAUSA/ FULANI, you should know better.
As ojulowo omo Odua, restructuring fine, dissolution cool.
Adaba Yoruba o naani a nkun igbe, ina njo EYE NLO.

malton:
It is the latest political fancy word, for sure.

Even individuals who barely understand what the term means naively suggest that we go with it, just because they believe it is anti-government of the day.

What they may not understand, however, is that they are pushing to have 36 more power-hungry individuals as presidents. More troubles for themselves!

Dare to speak against it, and people take it to mean that you're scared of losing out.

Makes me laugh.

Pleeeeeaaaaaassssse, don't explain it to people, let us restructure so that everyone can know the meaning.

comshots:
Opposition to restructuring is always from the northern fulanis.They hate to hear that word.

Shior, the people that are supposed to be fighting seriously against restructuring are pointing at other people.
We are talking about FISCAL FEDERALISM, how many states are viable in some regions?
Una eye go soon clear, shebi everybody is singing restructuring now, VERY GOOD.
Eni ti ko fe ki ore ohun je Oba, oun paa paa o ni le je ore Oba.
I always tell people to be careful what they asked for cause' they just might get it.

sarrki:
I was in it. I was in Oyi in Anambra State in Okadigbo’s village during the election. All the Igbo ganged up against ANPP. They went and negotiated with Obasanjo and voted PDP. In fact, they did not allow Chuba himself to cast his vote in his village.

What about this ?

This is precisely what they did to CHRIS NGIGE when he tried to become the Governor of ANAMBRA state under ACN.

TheTechMan:
So you are now ready to talk about restructuring finally. Tinubu has been silent on restructuring for a long time and even did not attend the Yoruba Summit on restructuring in Ibadan. He is only speaking now because he's losing credibility over his silence. He has benefiting from the rot in Nigeria that is why he kept quiet and did not support restructuring all the while. Tinubu is not a worthy leader in Yoruba land and must not be regarded as such. He is only after his own selfish interest to amass wealth for himself and unborn generation.

Tinubu NEVER announce himself as a Yoruba leader, but our people look up to him for Direction.
If you have issue with Tinubu leading the Yorubas, STEP FORWARD and see if EVEN YOUR FAMILY will follow you.

CaptainG00D:
Dude it is not by posting links. When we can usr out common sense.
There is nothing SOUTH SOUTH..
Geographically it is meaningless..
If u mention SOUTH SOUTH in from of any white person he will laught at u.

Thisr placrs u called south south where formally known as OLD EASTERN REGION.
Before ur fraudlent country gave.it south south.

Which is meaning less.. u as educated person should ask urself WHAT IS SOUTH SOUTH.

I'm trying to understand your argument, the South South is a land occupied by people who are different from Igbos, are you saying they MUST be brought under Igbo SUBJUGATION or what?.
Have the people in this region EVER asked to be merged with the Igbos?.
As you can see they want to stand on their own, I thought this zone was carved out to give the people of this region their own IDENTITY as minority groups within the country?.
Or am I missing something?.

rlauncher:
Thank you for highlighting the positions previously held by Igbos in previous governments. It reveals their true reasons for calling for Biafra . They don't like being in the opposition. Period.

The Igbo attitude is, " if we are not in charge, let's crash it" . Sad!

So you just dey find out?.

Theakthedream:
WHY are you still alive? We're you not aware that Python dance was going on in Abia state? Why didn't you go lay down your life for your terrorist Lord Nnamdi cownu?... Rubbish talk from an Ipob miscreant.
Better send your brothers and yourself to go face the Army with ordinary stick and bottles..Don't you want to be an Hero? .. Yeye Internet worrior

Chai!!!, you beat me to this, rip to the dead but must people die gbanjo death?.

datribune:
U ar so blinded by hate & ignorance dat u don't even know that there is absolutely no camaraderie between Christianity & Judaism.
Judaism is not only d antithesis of Christianity, but also its mortal enemy. Educate urself about what d Talmud says about Jesus & Christians.
d only thing dat is more shameful than ur ignorance is dat u claim to be female. Smh.

You are obviously a learner, don't dignify this kinds of posters with a reply.
If you asked her were Christ hated anybody in the Bible, she will insult you.
Their kinds are better left to their psychotic problems, tribalist forming Christian, leave in the same house with them na war, you are not the Church member na wahala.
Even if you're their Church member, as long as you don't speak their language, and you are not from their town and clan, you aren't a Christian.

I'm a wheelbarrow pusher, haven't you heard? So, I get alot of spare time to give pigs hell..

Now, what do you do for a living that you have no spare time but follow me from "morning till night", so much so that you know all the threads I comment on?

Shiffu, your kung fu is wonderful, may your days be long.

FSBoperator:
pathetic liar.

Which $20bn?

Obviously you have never made a dime in your life because if you had you will know how to quantify money.

Post this rubbish on Facebook and see what Nigerians will do to you.
Sanusi the former CBN Governor raised alarm concerning this and almost paid with his life.
Even if your likes tried to wish this issue away, Nigerians and the internet will NEVER forget.
Let us still focus on the topic " Sukok ".

tjmc:
Stop saying the ibos started the civil war. It clearly showed u have been indoctrinated with the wrong history.
The coup of 1966 was a national coup with officers from the three main regions but Nzeogwu from present day delta was asked to lead.
Have u read the book why we struck.
Read and get enlightened

Here we go again.

FSBoperator:
crap.

Then what of the $4bn missing NNPC money that Buhari and Obasanjo stole ?

Why not explain how $20bn got missing under GEJ, abi no be under the same sun?.
We are discussing Sukok you are digressing, so $4bn allegedly stolen by Buhari and Obasanjo is the reason you are here wailing Sukok?

FSBoperator:
Buhari overstepped his boundaries with the attempted abduction of Umaru Dikko.

Thank you, Dikko stole 2 billion dollars from Nigeria and the British government refused the extradition request by the Buhari led government.
Only the truth can set this country free, the reason Buhari government was toppled then, was the reason Buhari is still being demonized TODAY.

9inches:
Stick to the topic.

Hypocrite spotted, kkkkkkkkkk.

Hofbrauhaus:
You don't still get it....When will you understand?

Really? kkkkkkkkkk.

As the coup party was advancing to State House to encircle and capture Shagari, another convoy of Military soldiers headed to CBN.

The coupist withdrew huge sums of cash and also wired forex to their CIA backers!.

No western govt kicked against the Buhari-Idiagbon coup of December, 1983.

Buhari's was specifically requested by Langely to head the Military junta. This came as a result of his highly co-operative stance in perpetuating one of the greatest heist on our collective wealth with the Missing oil money scandal that came to be a hallmark of the highly corrupt Obasanjo regime.

His role was specifically to ensure prompt payments of debt owed back to western banks.

He built nothing and brought hardship and recession with his almost religious obsession to clear backlog of loans.

Thatcher loved him for it because Nigeria's debt repayments couldnt have come at a better time for the UK which was facing one of it's worst economic crisis ever.

Another Liar on the loose, so what was the reason behind UK Nigeria face off during that period?.
Continue to deceive yourself, your pain is IMMEASURABLE, and it shall soon become UNLIMITED.
Since you are so PAINED why not CONVINCE CAN to set up an interest free loans for Christians in the country, abi na to dey wail up and down be the solution?.
They will not help, they still won't allow people to source for help elsewhere, AGENTS OF DARKNESS masquerading as Christians.
Any Christian who fall for lies like yours is on OYO, na who CAN help, you self na who you don help.

Rubbish post.
So world Bank and IMF will only ask for interests and loan payments, you are indeed a learner.
The reason Buhari was overthrown in 1984 was because he refused IMF loans due to their anti human conditionalities.
Buhari's exit made it possible for IMF and co to fleece Nigeria, that was the origin of the rubbish that the NAIRA is today.
The fleecing did not stop in Nigeria, it went all over Africa and that was how Africans begins to labour under the yoke of foreign debts.
I know your problem is because this loan is coming from the Arabs, if you get a job that could turn your life around from a Muslim, REJECT it ' cause I know others will take it.
LIARS, why are Nigerian Churches setting up branches in Dubai?, are they not afraid of being Islamized?.

And what do we call those bad losers, who wail marginalisation just because their candidate lost an election?.

Joe, it is not as easy as it sounds, even Yorubas are looking for another way of fixing these ISH.

ok dummy let's go by Regions..
The North makes up 19 states (middlebelt inclusive).
The South west makes up 6 states.
The South South has 6 states.
While the South East has just 5 landlocked states.
All the states of SE combined with all the states of SS and Ekiti but still couldn't give GEJ a returning seat.
We Igbos don't count in politics, we are only good in commerce and trade. Whenever discussions on politics arises i think we igbos should keep quiet cos we are minorities

No I don't agree with this, the only thing constant in life is CHANGE.
Be it Igbos or any other tribes, people ONLY needs to PAY attention to the OMINOUS SIGNS.
The moment PDP divided into two, everybody except Igbos knows Jona is a goner, politics is a game of probability HENCE a little to the right a little to the left.
If Igbos can play like this, their WARRI no go ever carry last, patapata na DRAW.
We are all in this country in 2011, when Buhari could not reach and agreement with ACN, was it not the same ACN that became one of the TRIPOD in APC, which eventually sink PDP.
Opportunities will always present itself, IGBOS ONLY needs to knows when to MOVE.

rekeson:
Ok let me get something clear. If APC does anything that didn't sit well with people, they quickly rollout evidence to prove that PDP did something similar while in power, in a weak attempt to justify their actions.

The question now is why then did we vote out PDP if APC is going to engage in similar acts that we vilified PDP for ?

What then is the difference between the then PDP govt and the now APC govt ?

APC is a big mistake, a mistake that urgently needs to be corrected come 2019.

You better get used to having APC in charge, the likes of us who were at the receiving end of PDP's maladministration will ensure that APC remains in charge for the next 16 years too.
Baba NEVER enter office self una don dey wail PMB is bad APC is worse.
I never asked much from PDP, all i needed is LIGHT which they couldn't even give, and I keep paying for the light that I NEVER use until God helped me with card meter.
Do you know how much I spent on petrol and generator repairs on monthly basis?, my light is on now and I enjoyed at least 22 hours of light in my hood, thank God I'm on card meter, I even switch of the light when I'm leaving home.
The unlucky folks who don't have card meter are being made to pay heavy bills because your useless PDP sold NEPA to their cronies.
Yes this government may not be the best but PDP is a no no for me, PDP is like LOCUST which eats everything and left the farm owner hungry.

Danielmoore:
As if their region is any better

Sure the North is not better but your past governors are NOT Northerners.

After RIGGING OBJ into Aso rock, they turn around and blame Yorubas who voted Olu Falae for 8 wastes years of Obj.
The heart of man is indeed very wicked, no wonder they remained permanently frustrated, Igbos will NEVER ACCEPT their mistakes, they are LIARS.
The earlier other tribes in this country recognize the IGBO STATE OF MIND the better, give these people their country, I personally will not want to share a country with people of such state of mind.

dahunsy:
Cough****clears throat# Obasanjo is a world renown confusionist ....Jonathan own na mumuism,so Falana shud not waste his Energy on those ugly ass thieves

I'm disappointed in Falana, let other tribes too take up the mantle of opposition, human rights struggle and government critics.
Fela's mother, Fela, Beko, Fawehinmi, Kudi, and host of other illustrious sons of Oduduwa, have all died fighting government.
Let other tribes too play this dangerous role abeg.

Father Mbaka was the reason some loonies were throwing stones at the Nigerian army convoy?,
Mbaka is not ready to sacrifice eternal bliss for some useless tribal bigotry.
Don't mind Mbaka, at least you still have the likes of Oyedepo aka gate of hell and prophet Fayoshe is still there goading you guys on.
You guys are too confused, you think insulting people online can give you Biafra?.
Someone is still going to rise in the East to get Biafra, that man is going to get it by NOT LOSING HIS HEAD.
Malcolm X's NATION OF ISLAM and the BLACK PANTHER movement are already forgotten in America, but MARTIN LUTHER KING is celebrated every year.
LUTHER knows that black people were surrounded by hateful white people so he PLAYED THE WEAK, the other two groups were labeled criminal organizations.
Majority of these people were assassinated but LUTHER already stole the people's hearts ALL OVER THE WORLD, with his style of STRUGGLE.
Rev Jesse Jackson and other elders in the civil rights movement wept like babies at the inauguration of Obama because, sixty something years earlier black people were not even allowed to vote.
When you're true reading this, GET A LORRY load of insult, POUR THEM on me.
IPOB strategy had NEVER work anywhere in the world, it always backfired

Opakan2:
The problem now is that noone wants to have dealings with anything Igbo again in Nigeria..

Just because you lost out of elections in 2015, ya'll started crying secession.

What about Yorubas that have been in opposition since independence with the likes of Zik, Ekwueme and co forming alliance with the North.

Thank God this generation of Yorubas have woken up to see how greedy you lots are.
The same set of people insulting Yorubas for voting Buhari will run to the polls to vote Atiku, a 70+ man with the hope of getting favours and juicy posts from him.

Igbos can't fool me, they are only fooling themselves and Yoruba sellouts in PDP.

This is just the bitter truth.
Ojulowo omo Odua, spread the word around to our people, BI A KO BA RI ADAN, A MA FI OOBE SE EBO,
If we can't have it all, we MUST continuously have a SIZABLE amount of it.
Yorubas MUST stop playing opposition in this country, Nigeria will be 57 years in October and Yorubas have played opposition for 54 years.
If not for Divine Providence, only God knows what SW would have looked like now.
If the country is restructured fine, disintegration cool, but if THESE two options are not possible, Yorubas should also maintain their current position.
Omo olomo l'aa ran ni ishe de toru toru.
Omo Oodua kii she alabaru ti o ma ru eru Nigeria kiri.
YORUBA RONU O, E SONU, KI E MA BA SONU.

Yorubas don't need Igbos to achieve anything in Nigeria so what exactly is your point.
We can't just sing bygones, respect is reciprocal.
Those who had been scheming to take over our homelands and subjugate us since Independence are NOT OUR FRIENDS.
They did virtually everything they could to sabotage our match for greatness, abeg make dem dey follow their lane jare.
A kii so eran mo eran ki ikan kan ikan pa, KILODE gan na?.
Eni da eeru l'eeru n'to, let them face their problems.

crimeboss:
Being a Yoruba man i am compelled on principle of justice, fairness and true intentions of the founding fathers of this country to intervene, we know who we are as a race of intellectuals, deep thinkers and our brothers' keeper, d igbos may not want our support but they surely need it at this time of great distress, what going on now is an abuse of power, an oppression on the will of a people, and it is moment to let this tyrant know what he is doing is wrong, for kinsmen u will understand this saying "iku tio paa ojugba eni owé nipa fun ni".
God is our ultimate compensator for our good deeds, not the Igbo not anybody, let us do what can to stop this madness, we are all just men in masks, but what we do that really defines us.

Igba wo gan ni Igbo di ojugba Omo Oodua, keep deceiving yourself, so despite all the hate and negative images that Igbos are creating for Yorubas all over the cyberspace because Awo did not allow them to annex our homelands, you still go around talking like this?.
Aja to ba ma sonu ni, ko kuku ni gbo fere olode.
Anyway, abo oro laa so fun omoluabi, ti o ba de inu e a di odidi.
Sonu (SOJI) ki o ma ba sonu, ire o.

I'm sorry to say this but any Yoruba that carry Igbo matter for head is on his own.
The last time I checked, Yorubas have played the role of opposition since the creation of this country.
Our noisy neighbors have not even played up to three years and it's been shedding of crocodile tears all the way.
What is good for the goose is equally good for the gander, let them go and play opposition and stop crying.
Igbos are on their own, playing their own kind of opposition, what ever happen to them is not Yorubas business.
Any Yoruba who chooses to stick his or her nose into Igbo business, deserves to have both the nose and the head smashed into pieces.
Ire o.
