Allow South-East Exit Nigeria Now Through Peaceful Referendum — Northern Groups Tell Government

We also consider the sudden contraption by a certain section that calls itself "northern Igbo" as a more latent, disagreeable and unacceptable threat to the North.

I totally agree with this proposal. The Igbo people have no economic leverage on Nigeria therefore, should be allowed to secede peacefully

Goke7:
On top dem so go say SW na waste land. How long will the SW continue to be safe haven for victims of bad governance elsewhere.

The amount and influx of people from the north east and north west never do, na SE wan follow now. We truly need to renegotiate this contraption called Nigeria.

Abi oo, our leaders in SW are too soft that’s why the stupid pigs blame Tinubu for all the problems in biafrud land

LegendHero:
We need to protest this and any governor that fail to act should be dealt with.

The influx in the coming months will be hard to contain if things remain as it is.

For every police station burnt, some criminals are released. Some of them will join unknown gunmen and the rest will run to the SW.

Well stated, we need to organise a protest because The nonchalant Sanwo Olu would not act until it’s too late.

Fake news � keep up the good work boys �

AmbaliJ:
Na wah for you. You hypocritical igbos need to chill with your Tinubu obsession. You especially are a known Atiku supporter, yet you throw a tantrums when you see others supporting Tinubu. You need to get it into your thick skull that you can't force people to hate Tinubu like you do just for the sake of it. Those people in the comments you posted most likely won't even vote on election day since they are secessionists, and have probably never even voted in their lives. And they definitely won't be the deciders of who gets the APC ticket.

Now ask yourself this, if presented with a choice between Tinubu and your Fulani herdsmen sympathizer Atiku that you worship and support, who do you think they'll pick when it really gets down to it? Most yorubas that hate Tinubu would still pick him over your Atiku in a worst case scenario. So go and get a life omo yiibo.

Great development. This is how great societies are built - on the foundation of patriotic/selfless individuals. The park would serve as a historic and motivational centre for upcoming generations. History has been preserved for forever!

You mean there are still herdsmen in the east despite the existence of ESN/UGM set up by lamidi cownu to confront them?

Don’t mind the forkers, they are still learners in the game of politics and propaganda. I’m gonna be frank with you Igbo people, the SW are just tolerating you guys, majority are fed up with you people. Kanu have exposed you guys as enemies of peace. I thought you people had better understanding than the ignorant folks up north but have been greatly disappointed

Lies Lies Lies!!!
I’m beginning to dislike this Ipob/Igbo people, they are so full of themselves and definitely more dangerous than Fulanis. The SW governors better beef up their security especially Lagos cos Jide seems to be treating insecurity with kids gloves

Akanbiedu:
Thank you for helping to buttress my point. I am not against liberalism in itself but it must be in a situation where you have absolute control over your borders, which is not the case for Yoruba people in Nigeria.

Liberalism helps to create a robust society where diversity is inculcated. Every society has its own inherent strengths; bringing such strengths together can help build a progressive and robust society. This is a reason countries are deliberately encouraging immigration and promoting inclusivity. But it comes with a major baggage, those people are going to bring their weaknesses and vices. So you must be in position to screen who gets to your space (border control, immigration, armed forces etc). At the same time, you must have the capacity to curtail their excesses by having an efficient policing system.

The Yoruba does not have all these - even if one of you is the president and you appoint all the security chiefs from your tribe, it will still not work. If the people coming to your space are as liberal as you are, it may be manageable. But if they are not, you are left with only one choice - that is having a conservative society that makes it difficult for outsiders to penetrate your system except they accept and live your way of life. We all know the Yoruba society can never achieve this due to excessive liberalism. For instance, if you meet Yoruba man in the far North of Nigeria, you will notice he is trying to behave like the indigenes there, he lives like they live. The same applies to Igbo land. This is the reason that Igbo and Hausa are always at each other's neck - they are both conservative and unwilling to compromise their ways of life even when in the others' space.

But both Hausa and Igbo live in Yoruba land like they are still in their enclaves. That is what liberalism does to you. Liberalism would have been an advantage to Yoruba side if the Nigerian system functions very well, like having an efficient policing that is able to arrest ugly situations on time and immigration system that ensures only desirable people are allowed into your space, but that is not the case here. Any time there is chaos in the land, Yorubaland will be seriously disadvantaged.

Brilliant analysis. Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi literally introduced our unitary system of government for the benefit of his people. Consequently, Hausa/Fula leaders learnt from the Igbo, that’s why both tribes would never agree to state policing. The Fulani’s and the Igbo’s have similar characteristics in terms of land grabbing

I like the song she’s jamming. Anyone know the name of the artist/song please??

Confirmedzombie:
I am shocked to read this. Why did obaseki not bring a witness from the company he claimed he worked.

Obaseki lawyers are too daft and not smart enough.

I will wait till judgement day as im not the judge handling this case.

I have looked at the certificates obaseki presented to APC screening committee, the one he presented to PDP and the one UI tendered in court.

All are different and not same. My prayer is for obaseki to come out victoriously .

Obaseki chances of winning this case is slim.

Lets not rejoice yet but rather remain fervent in prayers for obaseki

I’m sure Obaseki’s lawyers approached other witnesses to testify on his behalf but they politely declined knowing the case against him is water tight - lying under oath is a criminal offence

PeachtreeReside:
I haven't been following this story as such because sex molestation of kids makes me sad.
My thoughts though:

Kids in the UK as young as 3yrs old have to be toilet trained before coming to school because they do not want their teachers to be sued for molestation when they clean them up.

Why was this boy still urinating at 11yrs old?

Was he toilet trained OR taken to see an urinologist?


Most parents do not train their kids to look after themselves like washing of their clothes, bathing themselves well etc because they do not have the time and they have maids to help their kids.


Do not handover your child's training to maids, schools, etc.

Stop over pampering your kids please. The world won't be nice to them. Toughen them up. Stop forming ajebo when you are pako.

Teach kids to be polite and able to stand up for themselves. This world isn't for sissies.

Let them help around the house.. Give them chores to do like you had when growing up.


Build them for the long term and not for the shortest term.

Good analysis. From watching the videos released by Don Davies mom, it’s obvious that Don is a very pleasant boy but he’s also the perfect cut out template of a mummy’s Boy (mama spoil pikin finish) The chemistry between mother and son is so unhealthy. She asked Don to come and sit on her lap whilst using her phone to record the video. I’m not surprised the young man is still bedwetting at his age. There’s a Yoruba proverb stating that a child lacking in home training would be disciplined outside by strangers

Zendinho:
Like for Tinubu....

Share for Fayemi...

Fayemi is a lightweight politician & does not stand a chance. It’s like comparing Michael Jackson with Sikiru Ayinde Barister (RIP to both)

NwaAmaikpe:





I will try not to get distracted by the political permutations of sophisticated imachakwa.

2023 will soon be here and the lessons some people failed to learn will dawn on them like the hungry reality that comes with the passing away of an acute hangover.

History like they say always repeats itself.
The Yorubas are placing their cards too early on the table but do I see a SouthWesterner becoming President in 2023; No, I don't.

Now this is what NwaAmaikpe thinks may happen.

-Zoning will be made to seem unprogressive.
then a popular northerner will be painted to appear the messiah (Zulum, Sanusi or Atiku)
This person will get a running mate from the South East or SouthSouth.(OUK, Obi, Amaechi, Ayade or Soludo).

The Yorubas will be left wondering how they forgot their history book so quick and blame the Igbos for their self-imposed woes.

Hogwash mate! No doubt your popular here by the number of likes you got but you’re politically naive. Firstly, ask yourself why BAT is still relevant today and very popular in Nigeria after leaving office as a governor many years ago. Does anyone still remember Peter Odilli & co?

2023 would definitely be interesting but make no mistake - the presidency has been zoned to the south. No reasonable northern candidate from the APC would contest but I won’t be surprised if Atiku, Saraki and Tambuwal contest for the PDP primaries. However, I see a lot of decamping/realignment along the route to 2023

badoh:
This Fayemi thinks governing Ekiti is the same thing as governing entire Nigeria. By the time North comfront him with bokoharam, incessant bombing, kidnappings etc, he will pray he never contested for the position. He's too soft for such.
Nigeria needs a tough, strong and dynamic leader who can take strong decisions and deliver within timeline.
The only southern politician that has this attributes is Tinubu. See, when the time comes and he shows interest, southwest will rally round him irrespective of party affiliations. I know Tinubu has his flaws and is not in the good book of some people but I believe he will be able to unite all the regions. He will bring technocrats on board and deliver. If not because of the challenge of Bokoharam, fulani herdsmen and kidnappings, Osinbajo would have been a perfect choice for Nigeria but if he should come on board, they will frustrate his govt like they did to Jonathan.

Brilliant analysis. In addition to the challenges/complexities you stated, Nigeria is currently on the brink and desperately in need of a political Titan to rescue it

Till today we are poor as a country because the "literates" don't understand the problem.

That mechanic that didn't go to school is important to the economy than that graduate who read Linguistic or home economics. All he needs to do is to aim higher like INNOSON and in thirty years he would be famous for his craft. A mechanic fixes cars , trailers and maintains the vehicles for transportation which is an important part of the economy. What exactly does a Linguistic certificate offer to Nigeria? INNOSON was just a mechanic and spare parts dealer many years ago.

A plumber fixes pipes in houses and even in production firms. What exactly does a Philosophy graduate add to the economy. Without generator repairers the bad power supply channel would affect small and medium scale enterprises. What exactly do you add to the economy with your First class in Arabic studies?

It is no coincidence that even in developed countries more billionaires like Bill Gates , Mark Zuckerberg and even the richest man in China , Ali Baba either dropped out of the university before their sophomore year or never even had formal education. As a child , I listened to Steve Jobs and I learnt that he dropped out of school to master the craft of calligraphy .... that was all he needed to make iOS fanciful and Apple the brand your graduates want today. UFC President, Dana White , even has a more thuggish history than MC Oluomo and helped the investors of UFC in creating a billion dollar system for fighters.

You must understand how a system works. There will be at least 3 chartered accountants and 3 legal practitioners who work for that transport union headed by MC Oluomo just like they work for Billionaires Gates and Zuckerberg who have no University degree . However, those who know exactly what they are chasing are those who employ the graduates.


MC Oluomo generates more revenue for the government of Nigeria than even your Arabic or Philosophy Professor and Professors of at least 50 other courses who drag an industrial action for more than three decades. Throw that worthless certificate away and stop comparing University graduates who add nothing to the economy with career bus drivers and conductors who help in the transportation of people in an over populated urban city while generating revenue that the government will use to subsidize school fees.

Very well stated. Our people are too obsessed with the over rated Western education. What we really need is basic education - the ability to read and write, an individual should then go on to develop the ability to think critically. However, the average Nigerian is very religious, therefore lacks that critical ability to analyse issues/find solutions but instead lives by faith in a supreme being

I get sense pass you oo.

this idea of sending Tinubu away would have been plausible if Nigeria is one, but Nigeria isn't.

every tribe are after their interest, sending Tinubu away is not favourable to our ethnic group at all.

the political interest of Fulani/Hausa is to rule at the federal level.

the political interest of the our noisy brothers from the east is to dominate, they have been trying to take over in Yorubaland since the era of Azikiwe, if you don't know, the phrase "Lagos is a no man's land" started during Azikiwe's time and it's still existing till today.

if Jimi Agbaje had won 2019 election, 70% of his cabinet would be Igbos, then when he's ready to live after using 8 years, he would hand over the Barton to an igboman, then phew, Yorubas would loose the ownership of Lagos...

this is what we need to prevent, the Intruders are trying every possible way to penetrate Yorubaland and bastards like you are helping them to leverage on the Lekki shooting that never happen.

you fools need to think, e'pe aro ati odofin i'nu yin.

the interest of the Yorubas is too preserve our culture, develop our land, let's shun all these accomodation bullshit.

Go and read about why the traditional ruler in Ilorin is an emir and not an Oba.

For now, Self preservation should be the prerogative of every group within the geographical entity called Nigeria. Asiwaju has distinguished himself and should be accorded his due respect

Lagos state government must also introduce compulsory school fees for non indigenes in order to put a stop to all the provocative statements such as “Lagos is no mans land “

NGpatriot:
Typical ungrateful, disrespectful, disloyal, tribal and bigoted ipob rubbish.

Why are ibo people like this?

YVC hired gave you a job to do and opportunity to progress in life regardless of your tribe or ethnic affiliation, but you got sacked because of your unprofessional, immature and irresponsible behavior when you walk off the set and a nationally televised live show all because you couldn't suppress your bigoted and tribal sensitivity.

TVC that hired you in the first place did so regardless of your tribe is a serious and professional organization with image and reputation to protect, they don't need tribe and ethnic sensitive people tasnishing their reputation, walking off a nationally televised show and making them look like a kabukabu organization.

You can not do this on CNN, FOX news or any credible establishment and not get fired on the spot, your manager don't even have to talk to the director or your maked up Bourdillon before firing you instantly.


...but as usual with ibo people, Tinubu is always responsible for their misfortune and horrible personal decisions when in fact the same Bourdillon as you insolently stated gave you that job and opportunity in the first place.

You ungrateful and ethnic bigot, you don't deserve that job and I'm glad you got thrown out.

Good riddance.

Well stated. This people are so unreasonable. Why would Asiwaju be bothered with such petty issues - regarding the hiring and firing an employee

candidtalk:
Well only an Igbo would make this statement in relation to Lagos. For its challenges, Lagos remains by far the best State in Nigeria.

The smallest State in Nigeria with a very unweildy population of 20 million, swollen to that hideous extent by millions of immigrants from your SE States, is still the most sophisticated and best run State in Nigeria.

Meanwhile we have States like Bayelsa with small population and 13% extra derivation that are the true pictures of backwardness.

In fact most SE States are garbage and ode to misrule, incompetent administration and clueless governance. Yet you guys only remain preoccupations with talking about and attacking Lagos.

It shows your motivation.

The average Igbo person is an ingrate - they prefer to see Nigeria burn than to make any meaningful progress. The only solution is to grant them their Biafra or to restructure The country
All the coordinated attacks against Tinubu is duly noted by Yoruba’s worldwide. I would hate to witness a genocide in Lagos but there should be limits to provocations

tesppidd:
And so also the same Buhari has remained the fundamental problem of the APC from day one.

His aloofness and indifference to his party's challenges and elections is sickening.

Too bad that Adams has to take the blame for everything when all he tried to do was instill party discipline.

If only Buhari had gotten involved from the beginning and supported his party chariman then most of these big egos would have been checked from day one!

Just like Obj and Gej, the President has got to be more involved,
Help the chairman.

These governors, ministers and senators can't listen to some party chairman.
Only the President they listen to.

Since this democratic dispensation in 99, no ruling party has lost more states than Buhari's APC at off season elections.

And Buhari is the major culprit.

APC lost Edo because the party has been factionalized into 2 groups;
1. The Presidency faction.
2. The Tinubu faction.

Buhari always loves to play neutral during elections thinking he could win commendations from all Nigerians including the PDP;

But the PDP only have a knack of praising democracy and the will of the people when things go well but bash Buhari when things go bad for them.

Yet Buhari has refused to learn from this.
The same party faithfuls who worked for him to become President he abandons them when elections come around.


Top APC chieftains can't really say this in public out of fear and respect for Buhari but the root cause of all the problems and the losses in the APC is Buhari himself.

Your analysis is spot on. Buhari has always been an aloof leader

I believe Obaseki would either do a runner or become suicidal if he looses the election on Saturday. He’s obviously covering up some serious monumental fraud by the way and manners he’s attacking anyone against him. Obaseki burnt many bridges and made powerful enemies across Nigeria - I foresee him ending up in prison

IjebuWarrior:
Wealth in which regards? To sponsor his 1999 Governorship campaign which we all know how Afenifere got him there.

Have you bothered to know why he used a different name and identity while in the U.S and why late Gani Fawehinmi was against his Governorship candidacy?

A man that engages thugs and rogues like MC Oluomo et al... deserves death! Only if you knew how many lives those murderers have taken on his behalf.

Bro... I'm a good friend with his late first son, we grew up in the same neighborhood back in the day in Shomolu when he and his sister, Korede were staying with their single mum. I know better, trust me.

Tinubu is tooooooo selfish, trust me! I know.

You’re not well informed or probably basing your views on personal hatred/negative sentiments
Tinubu was a MD in Mobil oil before he contested for the governorship election , yes he got some support from afenifere and other groups including nadeco but he was also rich enough to finance the project in 1999

He actually reformed MC Oluomo and other thugs by relocating them away from Oshodi and created orderliness around the area

He’s late son Jide was also my very close friend in Surulere, Eko lolu crescent. He never lived in Shomolu. He spent most of his life in East London before relocating back to Nigeria around 2007. Anyway, I don’t understand why you brought Jide into the discussion

Tinubu is arguably the most generous Politician in Nigeria. Ask around Alausa and from people that has worked with him

danilmo:
baba be realistic, do we have someone as politically sagacious and brilliant like Tinubu, I mean someone who has the balls against any cabal in Nigeria ni?? yes Tinubu was corrupt but we should beyond that, Nigeria need an action-democratic brilliant man. if he is as corrupt as painted I think Lagos should b down by now?? all insinuation.

Tinubu has balls not because of roughness but for the fact that he has Sons who are giant, powerful , foot soldiers in (senate, house of Rep, Governors) who won't betray him wen he is fighting any stubborn Caucus. He ll get supportive strength to make things work.. thank God he is a Chief Technocrat and hasn't shown any sign of weakness eversince..

Don't tell me Fashola or Osinbanjo, can they withstand the pressure in stubborn senate and co cabals

Tinubu is wealthy even before politics, already made, I don't think Nigeria should shoot themselves this time in the name of hatred for Tinubu..

Your comment is very sound and full of political intelligence
In addition to what you stated, we have to research individuals aspiring to positions of leadership, then base our decisions on current realities. Asiwaju is definitely not a saint - but his previous experience in the legislature (former senator), executive (former governor) and leader of defunct pro democracy group (NADECO) leaves him head and shoulders above most Nigerian politicians
Asiwaju can handle any political pressure/agitation and better prepared to proffer local solutions to numerous issues affecting the lives of our people
Aside Tinubu, I also rate el-rufai and Chukuma Soludo as disruptive thinkers and brave administrators

Excellent decision, allowing the democratic process to play out by not impeaching the governor. However, Obaseki must be placed on 24/7 watch by the DSS to avoid any bloodbath in the state. The man is not fit to govern a LG judging by his recent provocative actions
