I decided to do a bit of research as to why Aregbesola has been in the news in recent days and why Aregbe, as he is popularly called, is under attack by the federal government and the ruling party.

Aregbe's life is threatened, according to ACN, as news reports of Aregbe's support of a potential Islamic extremist group spreads.

My research reveals a very surprising reasons why Aregbe is under attack.

(1)He is calling for "Regional Integration" where all of the south west act as a single political and economic entity.

(2)He wants all state governments in the SW to adopt his plan for regional integration and establish Ministries for Regional Integration.

(3)In this new integrated SW, Lagos will be the economic nerve center.

Problem:

(1)This regional integration will succeed if a single political party controls all of the SW.

(2)Aregbe's plans is really the ACN plan for the region and a very popular one.

(3)PDP must become irrelevant in the SW for the plan to work

This is the koko of the matter. If PDP does not find a way to discredit Aregbe by accusing him of being a separatist or Islamist, ACN and Aregbe may very well succeed in kicking PDP out of the SW.

We are watching the developments.

succinctly put !

I no fit laf! NL's counterfeit Igbo man has been "researching!"

Beaf: I no fit laf! NL's counterfeit Igbo man has been "researching!"

When you don't have any cogent point to make, you turn to jesting. We can see through your antics.

One would have expected you to support this idea of Regional Integration which in a way, may move us towards federalism - a system which you purportedly champion.

Didn't you start a thread weeks ago informing us of some SS regional economic summit? Stop this childishness of being a rebel with only a single cause. mumu

Mr counterfeit Igbo man from Jigawa; abeg, wait for your mugu's, they will soon pour in.

Beaf: Mr counterfeit Igbo man from Jigawa; abeg, wait for your mugu's, they will soon pour in.

Why do you feel threatened by Aregbesola?

The more I read about this Aregbesola, the more I see him as a very aggressive and focused guy. On the other hand, if he indeed believes in secession, like Dede1 and other olotes, I will join the Feds to deal with him.

Beaf, Stop trying to make ndu_chucks the issue of the thread. If Aregbe destabilizes your senses that much, stay away from threads that discuss him. (I bet you can't do that)

but seriously, why are non-yorubas so much into the affairs of osun state in particular and yorubas in general?

have we been sold out again?

Non yorubas are Nigerians. The affairs of Osun state and Yorubas in general are the affairs of Nigerians. abi you are from Ghana ni?

^this fixation is a bit much.

if it's based on the premise that occupying ife means yorubaland has been occupied, then i'm afraid the ride will be a merry go round and an extremely long one at that.

You know this 'airhead' very well.

@Topic. Certainly the FG will be very uncomfortable with Aregbesola's 'back to basics' endeavour. The man is passionate about his people and region. What is wrong with that in a country where the federal structure 'designed' to bring progress is actually a stumbling block preventing the development of all regions?

Certainly, regional integration remains perhaps the only viable way forward for Nigeria while we have a pseudo-federal system in place that is , in reality, an autocratic 'tool' facilitating the organised looting of the wealth of a Nation by a few. It is a measure of the hypocrisy and confusion of certain folks that they now rise against what they fervently backed yesterday because of how the President they clannishly supported is not interested in the things they previously claimed were the solutions to Nigeria's problems. Thse who mercilessly spammed Nairaland yesterday about SNC now find it 'conducive' to hypocritically support how GEJ has outlawed this option.

They shouted "true federalism" non-stop under Yar Adua and touted the concept of "regions developing at their own pace". Today they are silent about those issues because GEJ is a poster child of central control of Nigeria's wealth. He is a disciple of profligate administrative practices including discredited 'old school' wastage associated with the sort of bloated and inefficient governance that has no place in a modern world of prudence, utmost fiscal discipline and effective management of scarce resources. All in all, it is very obvious why the nest of killers PDP would be very uncomfortable with any leader touting genuine regional integration. "Business as usual" is threatened when Nigerians begin to have a strong sense of regional awareness, pride and identity.

kudos to aregbesola!
As he is always praised "aregbesolam omo olomo larin ero, oromadiye larin asa"
May Allah see him throuh.

Are the yoruba people that daft and clueless to take a slowpoke as their leader
Have they lost faith in their fashola.
A tribe on the cliff abt to fall off that have lost their wit around them

If only wishes were Horses. Dream up all manners of disaster against the SW in your head. That is all they will remain - dreams and fantasy.

To call beaf an airhead would imply there is something inside his head which is unfair to the emptiness inside his brain.

Ndu_chuks pls feel free to discuss yoruba, ibo, hausa or anything Nigerian as it is a free country and we are all supposed to be enlightened.

@Topic ACN is a problem. PDP leaders like Oyinlola, Shelle etc are in for an impossible time trying to capture/recapture the region.

We, Yorubas, vote out non-performers

yoruba people need to step up their game.

Igbos are producing charismatic and progressive leaders like rochas and chime who can hoodwink the whole nation with their charisma while u guys are stuck with eggheads and crackheads like aregbesola.

The govt of the ACN has brought innovation and dynamism to the SW region hence the concoction and fabrication of implicating tales that nigerian politics is known for by the PDP led by thier SW national vice chair and former occupier of Ekiti state govt house (was not duly elected as gov of ekiti), Engr. Segun Oni and a one-time and crook gov, Oyinlola. But we the electorates are behind the policy of the acn and the plan of having a regional bloc with defined goals and programmes for the betterment of the people. We look forward to seeing the good people of Ondo state vote in the ACN.

Oga mi, we know how ideologically fickle and 'promiscuous' empty barrels are. Yesterday, it was all about SNC, "true federalism", regions developing at "self-determined pace". Today such talk is no more because the mediocrity they touted as "fresh air" and "transformation" is actually leading in a way that shows, without doubt, he is a fan of the policy drives , central profligacy , bloated democracy and gradualist politics that has gotten us where we are today.

In short, their 'messiah' has now been shown to be just as bad, if not worse, than those "egbon razist" and co attacked mercilessly yesterday. Since he is their 'brother', and because they are unprincipled folks, they would rather carry on with their blind defense of GEJ instead of doing what is admirable and upright and admitting that GEJ was a big mistake in so many ways.

I have to give it to the Yorubas. Your case(s) have been well summarized and stated.
I'm not into tribalism but reading through these posts. They have it spot on and the people attacking them are just being mischievous and self delusional.
To be honest, if this integration thing succeeds, it will be a model for the whole country to follow.
That cannt be a bad thing, can it?
Anyone who loves Nigeria will champion the cause of true federalism.
I've been wondering about the whole fixation thing with the southwest and their governors in all the stories on this forum, methinks it's probably because they are active and achieving. One this is clear though, love them or hate them, there's one thing you can't do and that is ignore them.
Wish i could say that for other governors in the country presently.

GEJ is such a disappointement it is not even funny. Everything he does is contrary to his promises.

where is the truth here that he wants to be yoruba leader you lier. he is not the only one who has asked for integration or other rubbish on that list there.mumu, talk talk people. i wonder what you do with your lives apart from nairaland. this place is getting shitty lately and tiring. you just come here and talk nonsense and it becomes hot rumor and gossips, how is it helping our situation? when dog suppose crack bone him dey chop shitt

@ Pistol, pls don't turn this thread into Igbo/Yoruba fight abeg. This is about Aregbesola. Meanwhile, every Igboman who wants the progress of Ndigbo will normally key into the regional integration plans of Aregbesola.
