The Southern
Nigeria's Peoples Assembly, SNPA, Afenifere, OPC,
Ohaneaze Ndiigbo, Yoruba Council of Obas/ Traditional Rulers, SDP, UPN, NGOs, etc., etc., all advised
Tinubu's SW APC on the plot of the North to seize
political-power from former President Jonathan and the entire South, but what did Tinubu and his
uninformed followers do? Betrayed the entire South.
They even defied the Ooni of Ife, as being bought/paid
off by Jonathan. Even the Soyinkas and Falanas of the
SW knew, but they sold out for the sake of tribalism.

Femi Aribisila warned this would happen and no one
listened. The North is taking Tinubu apart before his
own eyes. The only thing that will save Nigeria is when SW, SS and SE come together as one and move
the country forward. We have seen North in power for
over 38 years and nothing to show for it. These three
regions needs each other for Nigeria to step out of
poverty and reach its potential and dream. Bickering
never solve any problem. This is a task and challenge that could be overcome,
but very difficult. The earlier the leaders of these three
regions come to this reality the better for all. I
understand that Trust requires track record. The
longer we delay to put our personal differences aside
the longer the damage will take to be repaired. Have a great day.

Shut that mouth of yours before God destroy it for you fool.

You would have addressed the issue in view without referring to Yorubas as betrayals. On what basis did you accuse Yorubas of messing up the rest in the south? How did Yorubas betray the rest in Southern part of Nigeria without any pre-agreement before the election?

Education has now become a joke in Nigeria.

Yorubas has played opposition party all through the history of this country as a result of Igbo betrayals.

Who formed politicalliance with the same North in 60s- Igbo

Who formed another political alliance with the same North despite d fact that the same North maimed and killed them in thousands like chickens on their streets in 60s

CSTR2:
Then your training is not complete.
A man that embezzles the commonwealth of generations yet unborn does not deserve any respect.
If tinubu was a chinese, your guess is as good as mine.

What would then happen to all the worthless politicians from your region if they were in China?

Go back and deal with the politicians from your backward region before asking politician from other region ......

tinsel:
There will be re-alignment of forces in 2019. South East has this deep hatred against Buhari and they can never go with him. He is making his case worst in South east with the latest Ekwulobia saga concerning the transfer some boko haram suspects to Ekwulobia prison.

You are underestimating the stupidity of the East when it comes to National politics and Yorubas.

History has taught Yorubas to stay away from Yibboos when it comes to National politics and that is exactly what we are doing at all levels.

Historically, Yiiboos foolishly formed alliance with the North in 60s to spite Yorubas but God punished the Ingrates by using the same North to kill them like chickens on the streets in the North.

Shockingly, these Yiiboos still went and formed alliance with the same North in 70s out of their hatred for Yorubas and stupidity despite the fact their brothers and sisters were mercilessly killed.

With the above explanation, you can see why Yorubas ll always stay away from Yiiboos politics.

Let them go and form alliance with their masters. They have done it twice before and failed woefully.

Yorubas are good at opposition right from genesis and that's why you see the same Ingrates in thousands feeding their villages and family from the economy of our region.

Neduzze5:
Chai! Chai!! Chai!!!

There's God ooh!!

For the umpteenth time, the Yorobbers led by Tinubu and his minions have been "magaed" by the North!

When will dey ever learn?

Chai! Chai!! Chai!!!

Fool!!!!

It took your progenitors years to recover from their own stupidity.

Hausas/Fulanis/Kanuris killed and maimed you in thousands in 60s on their streets but to our greatest surprise, you guys still stupidly went ahead in 70s to formed alliance and voted for the same Northerners.

How worthless and stupidd can you be....

kraftykc:
Lol. You really need to calm down and be more civil.

The government should explain to THE ENTIRE COUNTRY because it is the responsible thing to do. They should also do the right thing regardless of petty sentimental fears but they must ensure they do not stoke those fears to an extent that they cause a section of the public to react. This is a common sense approach.

That said, when the Boston marathon was attacked by those idiotic brothers many in the States (mostly Republicans) demanded the surviving brother be tried as a military combatant. That was not possible to do and the Obama administration calmly explained that in doing so they would most likely set the kid free cos no court would try him as a military personnel. Obama did this even though he is a Democrat and a mortal enemy to the Republican party but he is still the President of American Republicans.

Also, why is the US your standard? I assume you are not too pleased with the universal gay marriage law are you? Keep your arguments within reach bro, using that country as a yardstick make seem like an uncle Tom (coming from the US you should know what that is).

You are an hypocrite.

My first submission was made without any insult.

However, you became rude and uncivil with your chosen words in your response to my first submission and i subsequently responded in like manner.

Finally, what makes me an Uncle tom? Simply cos I used US/UK as yardstick sticks.

kraftykc:
It is done everywhere in the world, where people have common sense. Governments explain their actions to allay fears of the people they rule because they are answerable to those people. That's how government works.

So you mean US govt would tell the people of Texas or Colorado that there would be a transfer of prisoners from Lousiana state penitentiary prison called Angola to their local prison. How daft or stupidd can you be!!!

Bigotry has destroyed your sense of reasoning so much so you don't know your right from left.

I have lived in US before and I have never seen where it's a norm or standard in US to announce d transfer of prisoners from one prison to another.

Equally, it has been d same story in UK. I presently reside in UK and I have never seen where UK govt comes out to announce the transfer of prisoners from Belmash prison to Brixton prison. It's not done in sane a society.

The only exception to all these above submissions is a jail break. The moment a jailbreak is discovered, police at state and federal level( depend on the escapees' crimes) are informed and as well as the local populace closed to the prison.

kraftykc:
But isn't relocating them to the East a sound move? If they are there their cohorts on the outside will have a harder time mobilizing to set them free like they easily do to prisons in Minna and the rest of the North.

i don't expect PMB to rescind this GEJ approved directive but I think he would be wise to explain the wisdom of this move to the general public. A public briefing should sooth some feathers.

Where is it done in the world?
How do you expect a federal government has to explain to a particular part of a country d reason why she moved prisoners from one place to another? Bullshit

Eugenedimgba:
We don't have to talk to Mr Go Slow about anything.The Igbos in Anambra should mobilise themselves and storm into that prison,bring the 40+ idiots out and burn them in the open.

Try that and see if your brothers and sisters in the North and North central won't be burnt to death....

Jorussia:
Also, there is a constitutional impediment that may prevent pmb from sacking him. pmb can only sack him by sending such request to the senate who will then pass a resolution to that effect.APC senators must close ranks for Godwin emefiele to be pushed out.

Didn't you Igbos ask Jonathan to sack Sanusi without senate approval and he did? So why are you guys now asking Buhari to seek senate approval before sacking that Numbskull? Hypocrites!!!!

baby124:
Lagos is not SW because of the geographic blah blah nonsense. What are you saying? If it was not a flourishing state in the SW, will people want to live there. When you are creating or measuring anything LAgos is SW, don't delude yourself. Who owns and runs the economy? Your argument makes absolutely no sense, and this thread is extremely stu*pid

The OP is freaking useless and worthless

How could you take Lagos state out of your analysis when 80% of days population are Yorubas?

He intentionally took Lagos state out of South West so as to pave way for south east to measure up wt SW.

Lovesdaisied:
I came across the below thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/2418994/ranking-nigerian-states-poverty-rates

And was amused by how quick people are to rejoice over what is presented to them, without thinking clearly about the stipulations.

The D***ck measuring contest between the SW and SE was even more amusing, when the truth is that....

SE and SW viritually have the same poverty rate!!!!!!

Let's go over the rates for each state, zooming into the SW and SE specifically. I have excluded border states of Kwara, Kogi and Delta (which are designated as North central and South South, and honestly do not deviate much from what we see in the list). I also excluded Lagos, which is a multicultural bed of different groups and not representative of the strength of each region.

Okay then:

SW
2. Osun 10.90%
4. Ekiti 12.90%
12. Ogun 26.10%
14. Ondo 27.90%
17. Oyo 29.40%


SE

3. Anambra 11.20%
6. Imo 19.80%
7. Abia 21.00%
15. Enugu 28.80%
21. Ebonyi 56.00%


My thoughts....

Osun is only marginally less poor than Anambra (11.2-10.9=.03% difference).

Other SE states and SW states occupy the top lists in equal succession. Look again folks!

The only exception to this is Ebonyi which has a poverty rate comparable to the North. Abysmal, but still....


If you take the simple average of all the states' poverty rate for each region but disregard their populations (which looks like what the OP did in his original thread) you would think that the SW is the least poor. This is just because of the drag that we see in Ebonyi.

HOWEVER.

A weighed average of all the states (taking into account their populations) is a better representative of the poverty rate for each region going by this list. Ebonyi is the least populated state in the SE. Discount Lagos which is a multicultural city and you will see that the SW and SE actually may have similar poverty rates.

I recalculated the poverty rate taking account the populations of all the states. I am basing this on the 2006 census as we don't have any other indicators to go by. If there are more recent numbers I am still certain that calculating the results would yield around the same conclusions.


The real calculations:

SW Population Poverty Rate Population in Poverty
2. Osun 3,423,535.00 10.90% 373,165.32
4. Ekiti 2,384,212.00 12.90% 307,563.35
12. Ogun 3,728,098.00 26.10% 973,033.58
14. Ondo 3,441,024.00 27.90% 960,045.70
17. Oyo 5,591,589.00 29.40% 1,643,927.17
Total 18,568,458.00 4,257,735.10
Poverty rate of SW (4,257,735/18,568,458) 23%

SE Population Poverty Rate Population in Poverty
3. Anambra 4,182,032.00 11.20% 468,387.58
6. Imo 3,934,899.00 19.80% 779,110.00
7. Abia 2,833,999.00 21.00% 595,139.79
15. Enugu 3,257,298.00 28.80% 938,101.82
21. Ebonyi 2,173,501.00 56.00% 1,217,160.56
16,381,729.00 3,997,899.76
Poverty rate of SE (3,997,900/16,381,729) 24%

Now....can these two regions finally shut da feck up and worry about the myriad of problems facing the entire country??

This Idiot must be an Igbo

80% of people living in Lagos are Yorubas but this idiot decided to leave Lagos out of his list so as to pave way for his God forsaken region to match up with South West.

It's like taking London away from English people simply cos the city is cosmopolitan. The same thing applicable to Edinburgh and Glasgow which belong to Scottish.

Oseite:
I see you have conveniently ignored other critical posts not held by igbos....smh

Please tell me about critical posts left for other tribes during Jonathan reign in power.

I warned against the whole nepotism during Jonathan administration. I knew it ll backfire...

I said Igbos always set d precedent for bad thing in the history of Nigeria and do reason why other Nigerians don't want Igbo as a president. It ll be a disaster.

Moheat:
That's not true! GEJ appointed citizens cut across. If you can back up your claim with necessary proof if need be.

CBN -Igbo
Petroleum-Niger-Delta/Igbo
Finance-Igbo
Minting and printing -Igbo
Senate deputy -Igbo
Deputy speaker-Igbo
SGF-Igbo
etc

what do we have left after all these?

Igbos are the pioneer of all evils in this country; they started it.

Jonathan started it.......

The only painful aspect of all this political appointments is that the moment a Yoruba man occupy that presidency's position, he would start appointing Igbos,Hausas, Fulanis, Ijaws, Edos instead of his Yoruba brothers and sisters.

I am sick and tired of this Yoruba big brother attitude towards all these ingrates.

Worst prison ever...

That prison is a death sentence on its own

That prison is hell on earth..

If you put devil himself in that prison, he would definitely cry....

I have never seen any human that come out of that prison and remained and live like human being again.

It's a pity that these guys will spend their days in this prison.

The judge intentionally sent these guys there out of anger i presumed.

Best VP in d history of this country just like Tunde I diagona. Yoruba ni mio, swagger

onomeglo:
lol who is bothered about that?I just hope they know wat they are doing, shalom.

Peace to u too.

Igbos on Nairaland don die with dis news...

onomeglo:
wats this one saying?has hausa \fulanis not been rulling for the past 35 yrs?who complained?

So when you pay evil with evil, what do you expect in return? More evil of course and that is what u are getting now. Deal with it...

Ikengawo:
His first administration was the most regionally and ethnically (Hausa-Fulani) bias in the history of Nigeria. I know many are ready to defend Buhari at the expense of their dignity and their life so please permit me to ask..


Has buhari appointed a single non-northerner?

As it stands all his appointees to date have been from the north. The only states he has yet to visit Northern. He has visited Kanuri Chad and Hausa Niger. I know Buhari has defenders so I'm asking them for answers.

Did you ask Igbos the same question when they started this rubbish under Jonathan administration which partially contributed to the reason why their fellow half-Igbo man was sent back to Otuoke?

onomeglo:
This is not a big deal na even when GEJ was there,most of his appointees are northerners,that's Nigeria for you

I guess you were sleeping all through Jonathan administration not to see how federal appointment was completely Igbolised and ijawlised.

I warned these tribalists against their actions during Jonathan administration but they refused to listen. All the federal appointments were given to Yeebos.

Please, allow Hausas/Fulanis to enjoy what started...

ifedubacorg:
Its very unfortunate and its the bitter truth that we must voiced out raw and undiluted the recent appointments by the federal government does not respect the principles of the Federal Characters , So far Northerners have taken it all without regard to the national conscience and pulse .

Our current predicament was caused by the South West Betrayal during the last election they have handed power over to the North once again the born to rule seems to be true and must now continue unabated . i tell you as long as Nigeria remain united one indissoluble and indivisible entity then power shall never return back to the south again. we have lost our one and only chance of consolidating power in the south

Dimwit, shut that worthless mouth of yours before i shut it for you fool. What is betrayal if I may ask? How could you or someone feel betrayed without pre-arrangement/agreement in place? Did Yorubas sign any deal with Igbos or Ijaws prior to last election idiott? Education in your region has completely become a joke so much so you don't know the meaning of betrayal.

I warned Igbos, bigots and tribalists here during your God forsaken president-Jonathan administration that Jonathan and Igbos are setting a new precedent in Nigeria history by occupying all the sensitive positions against Northerners and Westerners.

It's your turn to reap what you sow in the first place. All the bad precedents in Nigeria history are initiated by Igbos. Coup to nepotism in government are all started by these worthless fools.

Who formed alliance with the same Northerners against Yorubas in 6th? Igbos

Who formed another alliance to produce vice-president against Yorubas in 70s? Igbos

What did we do as people? Go back to our political arena to re-organise ourselves rather than crying blue murder over Igbos' betrayals.

kingofdemons:
the lazy bastard dirty tribe that feeds on government allocation and people's benevolent rice will definitely like this

And your hardworking Igbos couldn't build the economy of this most tourist-deserted region in Nigeria.

Isn't a shame to be killed, kicked and maimed but only to be fed by the same region that dealt with you mercilessly in a war?

If they are dirty, how come your entire region is running to this supposed dirty people region for survival Dimwit?

Merlissa:
Ha!!!



This is so unfair



How can they not allow traders take their goods


Are they gonna be compensated?

Tell the ugly Igbos to go back to Aba or Abiariba Market where they are first-class citizens not here where they are second class citizens.

gwales:
Hahaha..... One particular tribe would cry all day

They would.....

Let them go and die

shItGBO:
Is this not the same Abidjan ojuku fled to after federal forces decimated his ragtag Biafra army

Yes it's. Abidjan airport was where the ugly coward hide for days before he was picked up like common rebel leaders he was.

deloon:
Thanks for letting us know in time. We will be fully prepared for you by then...

You don't need any preparation for that cos hatred, tribalism and bigotry live in Igbos.

babestella:
The more reason why you will be amongst the wasted generation in SW and amongst your kinsmen and you will never achieve anything meaningful in life for taking a swipe at the Igbos.
So tell us what OBJ did for the Igbos, but closing Savana bank? Withdrawing Ibeto cement's licence? suppressing businesses run by igbos? Neglecting all eastern roads and indeed federal roads?, Igbos were killed in hundreds on Benin Ore express by accidents due to bad roads and most were even attacked by armed robbers because they had to spend days travelling to the east due to bad roads. May amadioha strike your balls this morning for this silly post you put up here. Like I earlier said, you will never be anything good in life unless you retrace your steps and line of thinking regards the igbos. éwuuuu.

This post has shown how stupid you are.

I don't see anybody in your lineage achieving or attaining the level i have reached at this young age. I called myself a future leader in my country-Odua Nation and that didn't ring a bell in your worthless head. It's now obvious that you are nothing but a poverty- stricken thing.

I won't dignify you with my response anymore cos you belong to the bin.

Billygee2u:
Ndi Igbo is there any other way that Buhari will tell you that he hates you?

Igbos have always shown their hatred for others regardless and others are more than ready now to show you lots what unrefined hatred is all about.

The Obasanjo administration that showed you nothing but love, how do you pay him back you worthless ingrates? Bite and abused him simply cos is a Yoruba man.

Igbos are lucky that Yoruba leaders of today are of d old generation. However, you ll xperience proper hatred when my generation start taking the leadership role in our Odua Nation. It ll be an eye for eye then....

Cowards
