Guestlander:
How can Yoruba need Nigeria more than the people who travel out their own domain to settle in every corners of Nigeria? More than the people who have a large population and very small land area?
I don't understand why you people sometimes stand logic on its head. So Yoruba needs Nigeria to develop Lagos? What type of logic is that?

In that case, you might as well say that Igbos need the world to become one country because last I checked, Igbos are almost everywhere doing business. Not just in Nigeria.

For example My uncle with his partners have already cornered majority of the auto spare parts market in Ivory coast. Does it now mean that my uncle now want Nigeria and Ivory coast to be the same country?

Porto novo is yoruba port city in Benin republic compare it with lagos that swallowed so much Oil money for decades.

Exactly my point and they know it. But majority of them like to play dumb or ignorant. I hear some of them even say that lagos was already developed before Nigeria came to be.

Fhuck no

Once we are done with this contraption called nigeria, I don't wanna live in the same country with any other tribe. Especially not the ibos. anyone else but ibos.

They will start giving the new country bad names with their usual drug business.
They can go to their biafra and turn it to a new cuba or mexico, that's their problem but I don't want my tribe to be a part of that sheit.

I want a yoruba country for yorubas alone.

My brother I 100% agree with you> Lets all go our ways and deal with our own problems. Enough of this forceful union that is constantly watered with human blood.

Inter ethnic marriage and miscegenation is not a sign of unity.

The Germans, English, French etc all married each other. In fact the English royal family all have Germanic ancestry but that didn't stop them from fighting and killing each other even before WWI and WWII. Those using few interethnic marriages as a sign of unity are being ignorant and delusional.

Even ojukwu had a child with an hausa woman. Did that prevent Igbo killings and biafran war?

Someone enlightened me. We Know Niger River exit to Atlantic Ocean. Does the section it does still count as Abia or another state? Next would we count Kogi and Benue as non landlocked areas? They could have inland ports to if they choose to.

We need to understand definition of Landlocked.

Land locked means what the name says. completely surrounded by land. No access to the sea. Any thing outside of that definition is political jamboree.

Ndi Igbo have access to the sea through the river channels and their kins (opobo and Ubani people) directly on the sea.

Politics › Re: Can Yoruba And Igbo Co-exist? by Fremancipation: 3:53pm On Mar 15, 2017

Yes but not under the current political arrangement and add to the fact that Yorubas need Nigeria unity more than Igbos.

For example their lagos wont be what it is today if Nigeria didn't exist as a country and the honest ones among them have already admitted that fact here on nairaland.

If you compare the development of yorubas in benin republic where they have no lopsided advantage you will get an idea of what Yoruba land will look like without Nigerian oil money especially lagos.

Well under the context that you provided it is correct to say that Kogi state is not land locked, so there you have it Kogi state is not land locked except for some reason Kogi Becomes an independent territory and the Nigerian government closes it water ways to be used by its Kogi counterpart. So now you see that's how it works. SE is not land locked.

There is nothing like south east, it only exist in the context of the political entity called Nigeria, So what you refer to as SE is Igboland in both SS/SE because no Igbo man will think hey the Igbo's outside the SE are not included. Political appointments of Igbo's outside SE are Igbo appointment where you see SS/SE Igbo's see Igboland. SS/SE Igbo only applies on paper for government use or reference.

You still failed to make any statement concerning the Obuaku sea port, That should clear your ignorance about Igbo's in the SE being landlocked.

The south east is a made up political entity in Nigeria as a post uncivil war punishment to the bulk of Ndigbo. That move has finally run its course and has expired. Now no true Igbo man or woman is letting Nigeria divide ndigbo again. The leader of Ohaneze is a proud ikwerre man that is pushing for igbo interest even better than those from the so called south-east that came before him.

Igbo land access to the sea

1) Ogbaku (blue water) sea port. Closer to the sea than onne.

2) Onitsha River port

3) Igweocha (port Harcourt)

4)Ikwo river port in Ebonyi

5) Opobo sea port

6) Ubani (Bonny)

All theses are options for Ndigbo both in the SE/SS without including any non-Igbo SS land or people.

Amid Divisions in U.K. Over ‘Brexit,’ Nicola Sturgeon Calls for New Referendum on Scottish Independence
1:57
In Scotland, Call for Independence Vote
Video The first minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, called for a new referendum regarding Scottish independence from the United Kingdom.
ANDREW TESTA FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES
By KATRIN BENNHOLD
MARCH 13, 2017
LONDON — Protesting Britain’s plans to leave the European Union, Scotland’s leader, Nicola Sturgeon, called on Monday for a referendum on Scottish independence as early as next year. The announcement was not unexpected, but it reflected the stark divisions in Britain as the government prepares to start the official process to exit the 28-nation bloc.

Citing the fact that most Scottish voters had opposed a British exit in last year’s referendum — 62 percent voted in favor of staying in the European Union, compared with 48 percent in Britain over all — Ms. Sturgeon said that London had failed to address Scotland’s desire to remain in the single market after Britain leaves.

“Not only is there no U.K.-wide agreement on the way ahead, but the U.K. government has not moved even an inch in pursuit of compromise and agreement,” Ms. Sturgeon said in a speech in Edinburgh. “Our efforts at compromise have instead been met with a brick wall of intransigence.”

Scotland rejected independence from Britain in a closely watched vote in September 2014, and public opinion on the issue remains deeply divided. For Scotland to hold another legally binding referendum, the British Parliament would have to give its approval, as would the Scottish Parliament.

Ms. Sturgeon’s comments came hours before the British Parliament was expected to clear the way for Prime Minister Theresa May to invoke Article 50, the formal procedure that sets off a two-year negotiation with the 27 other member states of the European Union.

Ms. Sturgeon said her preferred time frame for a new vote would be in the autumn of 2018 or the spring of 2019, when the terms of a British exit from the bloc would be clearer.

She said she would ask Scotland’s devolved legislature in Edinburgh to request approval from the British Parliament for the new referendum, known as a Section 30 order, next week.

Mrs. May has accused Ms. Sturgeon and her Scottish National Party, which dominates politics in Scotland, of having an “obsession” with independence. But officials say it would be politically difficult for Mrs. May to refuse a new referendum outright.

The prime minister’s office said in a statement on Monday that it had been “working closely” with Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, “recognizing the many areas of common ground” on issues like fighting terrorism and protecting workers’ rights.

“The evidence clearly shows that a majority of people in Scotland do not want a second independence referendum,” the statement said. “Another referendum would be divisive and cause huge economic uncertainty at the worst possible time. The Scottish government should focus on delivering good government and public services for the people in Scotland.”

Ms. Sturgeon’s party won the 2015 election in Scotland on a manifesto that left open the door for another independence referendum should circumstances “materially change,” and she had cited a so-called Brexit — then considered highly unlikely — as an example of such a change.

The real fight might be over timing: London, officials say, would prefer that Scotland put off another vote until after Britain has left the European Union, betting that voters will feel less confident about leaving once they have been pulled out of the bloc.

Ms. Sturgeon emphasized that Scotland should not be withdrawn from Europe against the will of its people. She also pointed to the weakness of the opposition Labour Party, citing predictions of a Conservative Party government in London “until 2030 or beyond.”

Since the June referendum on Britain’s future in Europe, Ms. Sturgeon has argued that Scotland should be given a special status.

So far, Mrs. May has ruled out any concessions. On Monday, Ms. Sturgeon said there could be room for compromise if the prime minister were to offer a deal for Scotland, but she noted that no options had yet been offered.

Correction: March 13, 2017
An earlier version of this article misstated the day that Nicola Sturgeon said she was open to compromise on the referendum if Prime Minister Theresa May offered a deal for Scotland. It was Monday, not Tuesday.

zendy:
On the 4th and 5th of April 1967, Gowon and Ojukwu met in Aburi to find a way to avoid the impending bloodshed. Everyone agreed with Ojukwu that the 4 existing Regions should become 'confederate' in nature. Basically, each of the 4 Regions would assume greater political and fiscal responsibility for its self while the center (Lagos) would become very weak in its control of the Regions. Ojukwu and Gowon signed the agreement and each returned home.

We all know what happend next. Gowon broke the Gentlemans agreement he signed in Ghana which forced Ojukwu to secede and civil war followed.

The problem with 'confederation' is that it is more of a SE/SS thing. All the major tribes in the SE/SS are confederations. Igbos still remain a confederation of clans to this day. Ijaws reman a confederation of clans to this day. The entire Akwa-Cross area remains a confederation of clans and linguistic neigbours to this day.

However, Yorubas and Hausas are 'empire builders' who find the idea of 'confederation' a strange one. Thats why both of them united to fight Ojukwu to remove it

Eventually, for Nigeria to have any chance of surviving, it must be run as a confederation or a confederacy.

Secretly a lot of Nigerians admit that ojukwu was right but they will never admit it openly. They know that they have done or supported so much evil to maintain this contraption so the guilt will not allow them to admit the truth.

If there is any place that needs the unity of Nigeria the most, it is lagos.

Would lagos continue to thrive if there is mass migration of easterners back to the east? At least we see what happens during Christmas period how empty it looks.

Nigerians let us get this straight. If any human being is not armed, there is no reason to shoot them.

They even blame the people for their own death instead of arresting the murderous police and army that shot them. This is crazy.

IPOB has come out said that they were never involved in that act. If some thugs take advantage of a protest and get violent, does it mean that the organizers of the protest told them to do so?

When people in America peacefully protested against trump during inauguration, some thugs started breaking cars in Washington DC. Does it mean the protesters told them to do so?

Since, 2015 this happened, has there been any other incident. IPOB has made sure nobody is allowed to hijack their peaceful protests except for the police and army that shoot live bullets at them when they are marching.

IPOB are very peaceful. In fact they even invited the police openly to come and witness their peaceful protest. Yet the army that is supposed to be fighting boko haram came out and started shooting at them.

The army and police knows that that could get away with it because the rest of Nigerian are anti-Biafra and will always turn a blind eye.

Synopsis from the 2017 BP Energy outlook

BP's Energy Outlook 2017 estimates that there is an abundance of oil resources, and "known resources today dwarf the world's likely consumption of oil out to 2050 and beyond".

"In a world where there's an abundance of potential oil reserves and supply, what we may see is low-cost producers producing ever-increasing amounts of that oil and higher-cost producers getting gradually crowded out," Spencer Dale, BP group chief economist said.

When the oil that unites us becomes worthless what then becomes of Nigeria?
