Aregbesola,Ooni, Sultan, Bayero, Others Renew Calls For Nigeria’s Unity *nigeria Can Be Great. by Ufeolorun(m): 1:43pm On Mar 12, 2012 |
By GBENGA OLARINOYE OSOGBO—In the wake of a heated debate on national unity with particular reference to disagreement between some northern elements and their southern counterparts over derivation and fiscal federalism, some traditional rulers in the country including the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Saa’ad Abubakar and the the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, have advised Nigerian leaders to drop all impediments to national unity and work together for the overall development of the country and ensure cooperation among the diverse ethnic groups. Governor Rauf Aregbesola, who hosted the eminent traditional rulers, the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, the Emir of Zauzau, Dr. Shehu Idris, and other traditional rulers from the state, to a reception at the Government House, Osogbo, also added his voice to the call saying, “Since there is no other country we can call our own, Nigerians have a duty to ensure the continued cooperation of all entities for peace and progress.” The governor, who had been accused of championing a secessionist agenda because of his belief in regional integration, said, “I want to seize opportunity of this visit to call on all our political leaders, spiritual leaders, military leaders and traditional leaders to drop whatever it is that is beclouding our focus to build a virile, united, country that we shall be proud of. I commend the sacrifice and commitment of these leaders. Nigeria is a star in Africa. We all must rally round that focus, that potential to make it not just a mere big nation but a nation that is big in population, big in size and big charting a course for all the black people of the world.” Aregbesola commended the role of traditional rulers in the country. He said: “We can be great. Our traditional rulers are already showing us the path to greatness. Unity is the basis of progress. Let all of us come together and work towards the progress, development and peace of our nation. We have no other country we can call our own Nigeria is ours. And willy-nilly, we will be accountable for what becomes of it. It is our desire for our nation to be as great as other nations that are great. And for the greatness to happen there must be stability. A major implication of this is the fact that today; there are some issues in the core of the North, particularly Kano. So, if the Emir of Kano would leave the instability there, take the time to visit us here at this moment, it is a major sacrifice that must be recognised.” Responding, the Emir of Zauzau, Dr. Shehu Idris, said that for centuries, traditional rulers had provided a way to promote unity among the ethnic communities in the country, stressing that the unity of Nigeria was not negotiable. www.vanguardngr.com/2012/03/ooni-sultan-aregbesola-others-canvass-national-unity/ |

These guys should shut it already. As if they're not part of the problems we have in this country. Everybody is trying to play the saint. |

A gathering of delusional fellows. The sooner they realize that Nigeria is doomed to failure, the better. |

Lol! People talking with both sides of their arses! Aregbesola has been going around the place like an emperor with a couple of fools carrying Odua secessionist flags that are unknown to Nigeria. At the last meeting where he insulted Mimiko, he had his usual flags and his anthem was adopted as the Odua anthem. Now we can see that as usual, he is all gas. The same goes to the core-Northern leaders who visited Aregbe's shrine. Just last week, we had the likes of Junaid Mohammed talking crap about how ready they were to leave (with Kwara, Kogi and all). Where is all the fire now? I will advice ACN party to sieze their id!ocy. They cannot continue to play traitorous cards against their own people and the rest of the South. What do they hope to gain from an alliance with the core-Northern elite? Votes? Lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!! They should be certain that kids will not be allowed to vote in 2015 (in fact with boko haram pump'n, elections might not hold in the core-North come 2015). ACN is heading the SW down a wretched path from which they might never recover. |

Ogbeni razist, Aregbe isn't a seccessionist ok!.why would he want Nigeria broken when Oodua republic is achievable within Nigeria,we can always enjoy the benefit of being Nigerians and also integrate our communities from Ogbomosho to Owoh-madeh. What would an Oodua republic offer us that we can't get in Nigeria? The republic is already there,present within this current contraption. |

Ufeolorun: Ogbeni razist, Then tell Aregbesola to burn his rusty flag and to stop chatting shiit. Aside from that, he should stop sinking the SW with his foolish courting of the core-North that the entire Middle Belt and South have rejected; if not Oodua republic will become a prison that oppresses those who should be benefitting. There are easy ways to make indelible enemies, the easiest being to cosy up to opressors and parasites like a puzzy. |

Beaf: So what are you saying ? If the Sultan want to talk, they should not allow him ? Did northern representatives not visit Ohaneze just last week ? Why did you not chase them away. you bigoted mumu. Who have rejected who ? You must be dreaming |
Re: Aregbesola,Ooni, Sultan, Bayero, Others Renew Calls For Nigeria’s Unity *nigeria Can Be Great. by Beaf: 6:27pm On Mar 12, 2012 |
^ Dude, you are such a pathetic fool. Is Ohaneze a governor or representative of a political party? Maybe you just can't tell the difference since that requires some intelligence. Go graze with cows. Your mates ain't here. |

Beaf: ^ You are a goat which is worse, an ordinary governor of a state or a whole social-cultural group. You sir are da.ft. When did Aregbosola become a representative of ACN ? Goat or maybe you missed the Ooni part of the article. Moreover, what do you expect Ooni to do ? Chase them away ? you think we are animals like you ? |

alj boko haram: You are a goat which is worse, an ordinary governor of a state or a whole social-cultural group. I think you haven't eaten grass for sometime, so hunger is making you talk id!otically. Is Aregbesola a representative of PDP? You are ridiculous. alj boko haram: BTW was not that Asari Dokubo that said SS/SE/MB, thus no SW so what is the problem here no that we care but what exactly is the issue Lol! If you make it a habit to dine with the devil, why would you be surprised that saints do not invite you for lunch? Let ACN assure us that they no longer stand with IBB/Tambuwal. |

EVERYBODY NOTE: It is the northern emirs that have left their "high thrones" to come to the West and meet the Ooni & Aregbesola. I am not in support of whatever they said though. But I am saying this now because some daf.t Igbos et al will appear in some other thread and start screaming: Yorubas are slaves of the north, Hausa asslickers,Hausa favor seekers and what have you. Those Igbos have clearly avoided this thread (very wise of them) because they know it goes against their daf.t propaganda. The other time, OBJ visited the family of the slain Boko Haram leader in Maiduguri to try to mediate and bring an end to the Boko Haram crisis. All the Igbos tucked their tails btwn their legs and kept mum. Yet, they will open their smelling mouths and say Yorubas are cowards. How many Igbo/Southern leaders have ever "eaten as much liver" as to dare make such moves. Even the President can't. I hope as many Igbos as spew such trash get to read this post. Anyway, most of those things are usually said out of envy. Igbo's are the best deputies in Nigeria. From VP to Deputy Senate President to Deputy Speaker and always to a northerner, we can't but ask who the real slave of the north is? I don't think a Yoruba has ever been deputy to a northerner. Its usually vice versa. And wherever it mistakenly happens, its the Yoruba that controls e.g Idi Agbon. |
