After reading some of your lengthy write up to answer your question and also you not only need sense but education.

Before the 1966 coup, and also, after loosing the presidential or head of govt election, he wanted Samuel Akintola to step down for his to become premier of the western region".

Yorubas were effectively divided with internal destruction that was culminated into the popular wild wild west nomenclature of the region "funny what about Isaac boro and Niger Delta republic in the Eastern region".

An intervention was desperately needed and there's no where such intervention could have come if not from one of the Big 3s. It's on record that people all over rejoiced when the news of the coup filtered through. 'It was only the igbos of the Eastern region that rejoiced and it is also on record that Nnuadi Azkiwe said "the gods of the Igbo have destiny the igbos to rule over Nigeria and all of Africa" and it is only the igbos of the southern nigeria that have the duty to intervene for the other region that makes up the southern Nigeria'.

Igbo men who were visionary enough have always stuck out their heads to save others but what we always get in return is false accusations based on unfounded fear of Igbo domination "and the igbos are till this very day not visionary enough to achieve Biafra"

The greedy nature of the igbos people have caused and still causing the problem of Nigeria even anioma and ikwere people don't want anything to do with the igbos

In the 60s the Eastern region was the 5th fastest growing economy in the world and they were in charge of key postion in Nigeria but because of greed still wanted more because they know the northern Nigeria was not educated enough.

Me question to you Mr knowth why did the NCNC not form alliance with the AG knowing prior independent the northern Nigeria we're very scared of independent know fully well the southern Nigeria were very educated than them and they did everything possible to sabotage independent of Nigeria from the British

In case you don't know southern Nigeria got her independent first before the northern Nigeria and collectively as Nigeria got independent in 1960

Mr! Did you say awolowo jailed for stealing public fund? Where did you get that?

Why rivers/akwa ibom only are they the only oil producing state in nigeria?

Emyogalanya:
yes. Nigeria had her 6 regions created by gowon on 27 may 1967. The SS was created by gowon from the eastern region and mid west. The action was what led ojukwu to declare Biafra on the 30 of may 1967. Old google this key words "WHO CREATED THE SS IN NIGERIA" and you will get the answers you need. Pls leave ekwueme to rest in peace he had no such powers to create anything. All regions and all states as we have them today were all created by northern military rulers no civilian government created anything. Next, thing is google ekwueme to view his Wikipedia page you will see where he suggested , that power should be shared among the six regions in abacha conference in 1995. And old if you are sincere get back to me after you have checked them

Which 6 zones did we have before 1995? What we have before 95 was Four regions SW,MW,SE,NORTH

Emyogalanya:
at the NCC of abacha ekwueme only suggested a power sharing formula among the six regions. How does that translate that he suggested the creation of ss

did Nigeria have six regions before that conference?

melzabull:
another stupid fool

Perhaps Ekwueme also called them niger delta

empty scul. tell me the name he gave them or did he just proposed a new region without a name?

naptu2:
How can reading simple texts be so hard?

For God's sakes, it's in simple English!

How can people give wild and far off the mark interpretations to things that are right in front of them??

It is deliberate Sir

Emyogalanya:
pls go back and check the topic again, it says "created" not "suggested". That apart at what meeting did he suggest it ? With which does he weiled to have created the SS. For God's sake the man was in prison courtesy of buhari. Buhari himself was removed from power by ibb. Since the civil war the only time there was a democratic government was 79-83 all others were military regimes. Tell me when ekwueme was a military officer? Did the military not suspend the constitution? And rule with decrees and edicts usually by the armed forces rulling council? Why people will want to peddle white lies and mods will push it to front page is what baffles reasonable intelligence. Ekwueme had nothing to do in any government house or politics in general until when the PDP was formed leading to the return of democracy in 1999. All this lies is to cuision the effects of the dot in the circle theory given by buhari and rejected by ss leaders

Sir ekwueme was not in prison in 1994 when abacha conducted constitutional conference,that is where he suggested the creation of south/south.

Sincinnati:
If Igbos were hateful and domineering like you rant about, why then did they create South South to foster political unity among the minorities and make them speak strongly in one voice?

Do you guys still have any atom of love in your dead brain cells?

Because right from the late fifties the southern minorities have been agitating for their own regions including northern minorities

ScamHunter:
I see, you just commented to extend your Fulani induced divide and rule between Igbo and the minorities? It's an old truck. You Yoruba and Fulani are aware that with Igbo and the minorities on one side that you won't cheat them out of their natural resources just as this OP shows - Igbo man working to give the minorities a voice by suggesting the SS. That unity is what you haters of Igbo are fighting with the hope that you'll keep cheating everyone since you guys haven't the oil its longthroat wants to kill you. Anyway, the game is nearly over for you. One day, the minorities will realize that they're better off with 100% than your wicked divide and conquer. About Fulani killing, whatever tribe you are, it's a matter of time before you drink the dregs of your evil. At least you know Igbo are no cowards and capable of defending themselves as they're doing. But can you? Can your tribe stand the Fulani onslaught? Of course they can't since I'm sure you're not Kanuri, Jukun or Langtang, the other three tribes capable of standing up to Fulani apart from Igbo. Na jealousy and wickedness go kill all of you Igbo haters.

But unfortunately the minority refused to align or be joined with IBO

melzabull:
another hateful soul

Where did Ekwueme mention south-south? Did he also create niger delta?

It's too early to be a dunce

What name did ekwueme gave them? I mean the new region he proposed the so called (south/south)

melzabull:
This is a very misleading headline. What else do we call fake news?

No where in the article was it started that Ekwueme introduced the siuth-south nomenclature...even in the interview he granted.

What Ekwueme proposed was six geopolitical zones to cushion the situation whereby the big-for-nothing northern region will not dominate the rest of the country "forever"

The op has always been a hateful e-diot

.you're the greater ideot here if don't give us the name he (Ekwueme) gave them (south/south)

eldoradoxx:
South always insists on the artificial division into SE, SW and SS. When it comes to North, u often hear of one North/Arewa and their Governors meet regularly as one North. The first time Southern Governors ever agreed to seat together as a bloc was the last meeting held in Asaba where they banned open grazing in the South.

That not in anyway the fault of the north, if we southern Nigeria can not think deeply come together and form one political block regardless of been called SW,SS,SE,then we have nobody to blame

gidgiddy:
South/South, South East and South West are just one of the many instruments the North uses to keep the South divided

Why didn't south use the same instruments to keep north divided?

kvin33:
Those obsessed with Igbo hate think they can fool the rest of us who know how the name South-South actually came to be. Ekwueme DID NOT COIN IT!! Sorry you are wrong.

"In this interview Dr Ekwueme explains how and why he came up with the idea. The interview was conducted and published a few years before his death and it was republished after his death."

Can you please educate us, what name did ekwueme called them?

[quote author=kvin33 post=102837126]Ekwueme proposed 6 geopolitical zones. The name South-South was not explained anywhere in the OP -spare us please. Those who choose to traffic in Igbo HATE should know that they fool no one but themselves and that hatred will consume them and no one else.[/quotas]

When ekwueme proposed 6 geopolitical zones what name did he suggest should be given to the new region about to be calve out for Eastern minorities?

gidgiddy:
Balfour Baikie was one of the first white men Igbos met in person, and actually made friends with Igbos.

His name "baikie" is why Igbos started calling all white people "bekee". To this day, Igbos still call white people "bekee" because of him

Interesting its no longer oyibo Igbo used to call white people its now bekee?

Coldshisha:



The fear of Tinubu

Except they don't host convention till 2023, and don't host Presidential primaries, Tinubu's goons would still beat them for party Chairmanship and Presidential primaries

Tinubu hasn't said a word yet they are all jittery

APC delegates list in a National convention or National Presidential Primaries

*Aminu Masari would get Katsina for Jagaban
*Sanwo Olu would get Lagos for Jagaban
*Oyo State is for Jagaban
*Ganduje would get Kano for Jagaban
*Boss Mustapha would deliver Adamawa
*Uzodinma would deliver IMO
*Akeredolu Ondo
*Matawale Zamfara
*Dogara Bauchi
*Oyetola Osun


Except they have a powerful Magic to stop APC National convention constitutionally and not hold APC National Presidential Primaries, the Governors have lost


.

Ogun
Kwara

ahahnow:
what is akata?

Akata=were wolf

Nice

But please don't claim pidgin words as yoruba.

SONG IN YORUBA IS ORIN

GBEDU is pidgin

Thanks

Ajebo gotten from Ajebutter is also pidgin

Then again, wahala is hausa which further derived from wahl an
arabic word which means trouble.

.

Mr, gbedu is a type of musical drum in yoruba

Tex42:
U're on point @OP...and oh! Add this word "LOBATAN" to the list, seems to be the most used cliche/slang in ma area here in Awka.

Someone tell me the meaning pls...

It means THAT'S IT

YungMillionaire:
I love that word 'lobatan.' I don't know why it makes me laugh even before I decoded the meaning.

Lobatan means 'THAT'S IT'

theTranslator:
E shock me too o

It was named keke marwa which means marwa's bicycle, because they don't consider it a vehicle nor motorcycle

bigfrancis21:
Some of these words listed are not Yoruba. For example, wahala is not yoruba. Baba is not Yoruba as well. Baba originates from India where it is used to refer to 'sir', just as we use it in Nigeria. It has hinduist/Islamic influence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_(honorific). Alibaba.com is a popular website owned by a Chinese man.

'Keke' also is not Yoruba. The tricycle originates from India where it is called Bajaj or Keke and imported into Nigeria. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Gasoline-KEKE_60272954462.html?spm=a2700.7724857.0.0.UPyV43&s=p

Moreover, most of these words are more popular in the Pidgin spoken in Lagos. The Pidgin spoken in the SE and SS, for example PH, Warri etc. has much less of these words and more words from the native languages in the area. For example, in Lagos while people would commonly say Okada in Pidgin, in the SE, people would say 'Inaga' instead. 'Inaga' in Igbo means, 'are you going?', which is literally used to refer to commercial motorbikes.

You say wetin? Keke is India!

Ofodirinwa:
Lagos didn't do abandoned property, During the war Lagos was a shell of it's self economically.

Lagos was the shell of it self? The bulk of money kept for and given to SE after the war where did you think it came from?

sinkhole:
we may actually learn here!
There are things in Yoruba that have multiple words to describe them, yes "Orin" = song, but it could also be "gbedu"

Gbedu is a type of drum in yoruba

Ofodirinwa:
So 2 million homes enter the market, and you fill them with 2 million homeless nigerians, and this, in your mind, will end the housing deficit in Nigeria? 1 million empty apartments in Lagos and you think it there will be a Lagos the next year? You fill them with people who currently can't afford a home. What happens next? Because they have a free apartment they now have the money to pay the rent? Lets say 1 million people are refusing or unable to pay rent, what happens to the landlord? What happens to the property? How will anyone sell another house or rent another flat again?

If this is the best your brain can do economically, enjoy your free apartment.

What happen to Lagos in 67_70 when all SE left did ruined or did the economy collapse?

Eriokanmi:
Minus fayose too, his dad is a retited CAC pastor while his wife a daughter of a cac assistant General superintendent, now late. I know her dad well. Moreover, fayose was a car dealer in challenge ibadan back in the days. He already had money before joining politics . He wasn't sponsored by anybody to go to school except his dad. He studied a science course at Ibadan poly. I'm surprised nobody was able to guess right from the beginning of this post

How old was fayose in 1993? He hasn't married his wife then I think,am not saying his the one tho

Asgard73:
Tinubu..

Ladoja

Akala

Aregbe...


Pick from the above...

Since Na Yoruba state

Minus tinubu, he was already a senator by then

Too late to.....

superjab247:
Please beware of the newly made in Nigeria phone ITF mobile.we shouldn't patronise that product it was unveiled personally by buhari.

A country that is against the press freedom social media freedom and based on lies can not guarantee your privacy on that FG schemed and manufactured phone,I would rather u a nokia touch light phone than that Trojan horse spy device called ITF Mobile, remember the FBI used the same pattern to burst over 800 criminal gangs by selling a compromised and repackaged Android phone to them.

ITF Mobile might contain some hidden spy software and whatever u do with that device is not private and safe.

My opinion.

Those you buy in the open market did you know the kind of spy chip/device that is in it? Or do you think its only the one produced in Nigeria that can be bugged?

Coldshisha:
This isn't psychological manipulation or gaslighting

Mention anyone with Tinubu's remarkable experience and contribution to democracy since NADECO days and perhaps I might start rooting for the person

Am not talking about his experience and contributions to Democracy and NADECO,but about all those companies you listed above, when did tinubu graduated that within that short period and 1992 he had worked in those number of companies, I'm a tinubu supporter tho
