Yoruba Assembly tells Jonathan 0
BY OUR REPORTER ON MARCH 20, 2015 POLITICS
From OLUSEYE OJO, Ibadan

Yoruba leaders led by former Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Alani Akinrinade (retd), yesterday, told President Godoluck Jonathan that Yoruba people would not accept an Interim National Government (ING), Government of National Unity (GNU) or any other form of unelected government.

They demanded that this year’s general elections must hold as re-scheduled on March 28 and April 11, insisting also that the exercise must be free, fair, credible, and transparent.

Yoruba leaders made the call at the Yoruba Assembly entitled: “Yoruba People: Our Aspirations and Minimum Demands from the Central Government of Nigeria”, which was convened by Akinrinade at Ibadan.

A communique issued at the end of the conference reads in part: “Yoruba people hereby state categorically that the general elections scheduled to commence on Saturday, March 28, 2015 must not be postponed or jeopardised. Yoruba people will not countenance any form of unelected government, be it Government of National Unity, Interim National Government or howsoever described.”

The leaders warned that the over 50 million population of Yoruba people would not hesitate to take their destiny in their own hands in the event of any attempt to compromise their democratic existence.

The summit was attended by leaders of Yoruba nation, current and past governors of Yoruba States, traditional rulers and their representatives, officials of various civic and professional agencies of Yoruba extraction at home and in the diaspora.

They include vice presidential candidate of the All Pprogressives Congress (APC), Prof Yemi Osinbajo; governors Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State and Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State; former governors of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi and Otunba Niyi Adebayo; a prominent Itsekiri leader in Delta State, Chief Rita Lori-Ogbebor; former governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola; and former military governor of Mid-Western State, Gen Samuel Ogbemudia (retd).

The Yoruba Assembly also frowned on the protest staged by thousands of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) members and the Coalition of Concerned Nigerians loyal to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday in Lagos against the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega..

I couldnt make it to the IYF Camp in August. Where you there ? How was it ?

Yes, i was there. It was wonderful. Hope you make it to Ghana in December/Jan. Make we no derial o. Make general no ves.

I started following this thread from page one till page 17 but by the time i opened the thread again, it was in page 27. And i could no longer catch up. However, i have my reservations concerning some issues that will bring about developments to the West. Hence, i see no need to comment or contribute on this thread. I still dey observe.

But i can't just overlook the Ilorin discussion. Let me state it clearly. No inch of Yoruba land including Jebba and ilorin will be left out of Yoruba land i.e if Nigeria secede. I will give reasons tomorrow. I rest my case.

scholes0:
Can you save a people who do not want to be saved?

How do you know they do not want to be saved? are you referring to that time they connived with the Fulani's to destroy Oyo ile?

Who are those people and where did they come from?

Let it be know that Afonja was a first class citizen of Oyo Empire. He was the Are -Ona Kankanfo the supreme military commander of Oyo Empire. He was required to live in a frontier province of great importance to keep an eye on the enemy and to keep him from usurping the government. thus he was stationed in Ilorin to check the Nupes and this might also have something to do with the fact that most of the empire's soldiers and cavalry were stationed at Ilorin. You and i know that Oyo ile was sack and occupied by the Nupes for 80 years before it was reclaimed by Oba Ofinran, Alaafin of Oyo. Therefore, to defend herself against any future invasion by the Nupe's, it was necessary to create wealth through trade in other to establish a Calvary and maintain a trained army to withstand the common enemy. It was economically advisable to breed horses rather than buying from their perceived enemies hence Ilorin was chosen as the best place because of no tse tse flies. Then, the power of Oyo began to grow by the second half of the century, when the Alafin Orompoto began using the wealth derived from trade to establish a cavalry force and to maintain a trained army. But unfortunately, Oba Abiodun abandoned the policy of establishing a strong army for a wealthy but weak Empire. 'The increase of Oyo's wealth brought conflict among the political leaders; some desired to use the wealth for territorial expansion while others believed it is best to use the wealth to grow the wealth even more. A bitter civil war took place during the reign of alafin Abiodun, who after defeating his opponents pursued a policy of economic development based primarily on the coastal trade with European merchants. His sole focus on the economy weakened the neglected military, causing, in effect a weakening of the central government.' The Egba quarters was the first to leave Oyo for their present day site due to the disagreement on kabiyesi's policy.

The bottom line is, Ilorin belongs to Oyo and it is part of Yoruba land.

And if Yoruba secedes from Nigeria, we will not abduct Oba Abiodun weak policy that destroyed the largest empire in West Africa.

Ugomba:
This is why I said, Anything Niger Delta Republic, count the Anioma Nation out because this is how confused it is going to be! We will rather be in a Federalised Nigeria.

Ugomba! Na him talk dis tin?

Go around Nigeria and see the number of proper houses, roads, schools, vehicles, hospitals, airports etc, that exist in their MILLIONS compared to the thatched huts, footpaths, bicycles, and malnourished, barefoot children that were the norm under British rule. YOU NEED TO GET OUT MORE. WE HAVE MADE SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS SINCE INDEPENDENCE. Heck a guy like you even now gets to be among the over 100 million Nigerians with mobile phones, and not needing to use the town crier or smoke signals, like in the days of colonial rule, when telephones were unheard of for 99.9% of the population.

You are on point, if we thoroughly evaluate Nigeria's development before and after Independent.Yes. Nigeria has developed beyond what colonia master left behind. What legacy did British leave behind rather than the railway they built to transport resources to their country?

On the other hand, they came to Nigeria to exploit her, but on the other hand they went to SA with the intention of wiping away the native blacks and to build themselves a nation(annex of U.K). The same way they succeeded in wiping away the native black aborigines in Austrialia. Hence, the magnificent and impressive infracstructures in SA. What a great diservice to Nigeria.


However, i am not blind to see and to say that SA has gone far in terms of development than Nigeria. Although, Nigeria in recent times, is also developing but to be truthful, on a snail pace. Understandable(but not acceptable), the millitary rules, corruption, tribalism etcetera is/has been the cause.

For Nigeria to cas

BOWOTO:
The difference between South Africa And Nigeria is like "black and white"..... Nigeria should be compared to Ghana, congo, Togo..

I don't care about having the Highest GDP, if it doesn't make life easier for me then to hell with it. We should drop our ego and learn from these countries on development.

dis guy take style finish us.

Togo!

ADULTBASE:
Even if europe best 11 plays for 9ja,it is vanity,our problem is with our coach!

How is it the coach? The last time i checked, Keshi is no longer the coach. Or do you think Oliseh is not good enough?

Attention. Do not quote the the first page. If you do, be expecting to be banned.

TheGoodJoe:
And Mikel played brilliantly and walked off the pitch like a boss.

☺

TonyeBarcanista:
It's not insinuation. We all know what APC is up to.

Ok na! Make una no just burn the country.

Are APC supporters equivalent to APC, Buhari's government?

Or when did Apc supporters(nairaland) become the voice of the Apc buhari lead government?

Which Apc supporters are you reffering to?

Don't you think it's your insinuation?

TheGoodJoe:
I like your reporting style. Short and to the point. It is brilliant. Following your thread.

thanks.

You can say that again.

U gat it. I thought there would be replacements for them but.....

Imagine Cuadardo playing in d 1st team for Juventus

I was also suprised he made the first team. What about Brym of Man city or what do you call him.

onatisi:
his problem is mainly the defends and that was why he wanted to buy stones at all cost from Everton,even mourihno himself admits that most of their losses have been results of silly mistakes from defenders. Reason why he benched terry for 3 matches ,then what I noticed is that he isn't using the same formation he used last year and there is usually a lot of space between the dm and the defenders these spaces creates room for opposing team to exploit and pile pressure on the defence

Well, the defence is obvious but the mildfield and wings looks more obvious. The couldn't feed Coasta with any through pass. Holistical speaking, chelsea needs to replace or buy some players.

Mikel Obi came in from the bench at half time to play against West Ham. His club was trashed 2:1.

Isaac Success was on the pitch for 81minutes in the match between Granada vs Real betis before he was substituted. The match ended 1: 1.

Idion Ighalo was incredible for Watord against Stock City today. He strucked the post with a powerful header and later assisted with two goals to beat Stock City 2 goals to nil.

Anthony Ujah scored two goals against Leon Balogun club this afternoon. The match ended 3:1 in favour of Werden Bremen.

korel9:
Their problem aint lack of confidence but lack of options. Take away the 1st eleven and there's no star left

You got it.

onatisi:
the only problem with Chelsea is confidence. They need to get their confidence back and to do this they just need to win a couple of games
What is happening to them isn't strange or new and it happens to every teams once in a while. They have a fantastic coach and very goof players,they will surely bounce back.it is just a matter of time

I think confidence is just one of the problem. Me thinkthey need fresh players in the mildfield and in the wings. I don't know why he allowed all those wingers to go. They are all doing very well for their clubs

I don't think Morinho is the problem. For me, Hazard is the problem. He has lost confidence.

Thanks moderators for restoring my thread.

Imoh Ezekiel is missing on that list thou the list is not bad, but i hope Samson Siasia remembers why we didn't qualify for the last Olympics. He should not put his hope on those foreign players. Their clubs can disapoint o.

Sunnypa11:
The list is good but is tiago ilori ready to play for naija ? Mikel should remain a deeplying playmaker because he poses no-goal threat but he is our best passer...For Number 10,Igboun/rabiu and maybe kelechi should fight for it

Tiago Ilori is ready to accept call up from any of the three countries he is eligible to play for.
Igboun was tried in that position on two ocassions by Sunday Oliseh but he couldn't perform. He is a natural winger.
