INTERMAN:
The power to rule Nigeria from Yoruba land is seated in Ogun State. Unless you are an Ogun state indegene to get to a high position at federal level may become tough and far from possibilty. Olubunmi Eteh of Osun state tried to break this Jinx as the first house of represantative leader from Osun state and first female f to reach such high positon but within 6 months she was impeach and her position was granted to Dimeji Bankole of Ogun state. Chief Olu falae of Ondo state was greatly supported by a lot of people during the 1999 presidential election, even with all the supports, still lost to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo of Ogun State. Other Yoruba dignitaries also tried to emerge as the running mate of President Buhari in 2015 but they all lost to another Ogun state indigene, Prof Yomi Osinbajo.
Most great political position holders were mostly from Ogun state, former second in command to late sanni abacha, Oladipo dia, a former interim president, Ernest Shonekan and so on and so forth. It is believed that a special grace has been bestowed by God to the Ogun State indigene. Some believed it was because the Ogun state people were the first to accept,welcome and accomodate the early christian missionaries. The Bible was translated to Yoruba language and many Christian exploits took place there. Unike other area that held on to their idols.Some believed this was the reason God passed on the blessing and reward to the Egba offsprings and Ogun state decendants as the only sole owner of high political positions in Nigeria, the same way he did to David in the Bible as the only household to be ruling israel. If any non Ogun state indigene manage to get to such height, their is a chance that he or she may be impeached or disgraced like Olubunmi Eteh

Restructuring: Kano, Katsina kick
against devolution of power



Kano and Katsina states have kicked against devolution
of central government power, saying the federal
government should rather be strengthening financially to
ensure effective service delivery.


Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state and his
counterpart of Katsina state, Aminu Bello Masari made
the stands of the two states known while addressing a
mammoth crowd at the zonal public hearing on true
federalism organised by the All Progressive Congress
(APC), held in Kano yesterday.
Governor Ganduje of Kano state, who personally
submitted the Kano’s memorandum, opined that the
ongoing clamor for the agitation of true federalism
should not be constituted in such a way to weaken
the federal government.


Ganduje said, “Federal government should rather be
funded with adequate resources to bring development
and ensure even spread and balance economy that will
make Nigeria a strong country. We must not support
anything that will encourage disaffection and
disintegration in Nigeria.”


Katsina state Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, said
Nigerian needs no devaluation of the central
government, saying “We have inherited unitary system
of government and for us to change it we must
address some fundamental issues which we have not
addressed now.


Masari said what the country need at present was a
strong central government, as the country had not
address some fundamental issues that would pave way
for devaluating the central government.
“What we should ask ourselves is that, have we
achieved the purposes for the creation of local
governments? Are purposes for the creation of more
states been achieved? If not, why? So, these are some
of the issues we need to address first.


“We also have some peculiar problems that are
affecting our lives. The problems affecting Kano people
are also affecting the people of Zamfara, Jigawa,
Kaduna, Sokoto and Kebbi states and we
should therefore consider this in our submissions.
Leaders at various levels must come up with something
that will improve the lives of their subjects. We must
work together towards getting it right,” Masari said.
However, Jigawa state government in its submission
supported devaluation of power of central government,
creation of state police, independent candidate and
local government autonomy.


Submitting its memorandum, the Jigawa state’s
Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Adamu
Abdulkadir Fanani, said certain powers of the federal
government especially in the areas of agriculture,
education and health should be referred to state
governments.


Fanani also said autonomy should be given to local
government and allocations to states and local
governments be increased to enable them serve their
people better.


In his address, the Plateau state Governor and Chairman
of the APC re-structuring committee, Simon Bako
Lalong, said the meeting was aimed at collating
memorandums regarding restructuring for
onward presentation to the government.


Represented by former Enugu state governor, Chief
Sillevan Chime, Lalong said the meeting was part of
APC’s campaign promises to carry everyone along in
government activities.


He said, “We expect to hear from people if they really
need any restructuring of Nigeria and if they want, how
it should be done. I appealed to you to submit useful
and self-explanatory memorandums. I can assure you
that we will consider all submission and
advise government appropriately”

Asidethetruth:
Yoruba ruling again is not possible......instead let the disaster buhari continue or any oda northern disaster

Asidethetruth:
Instead a yoruba man will rule nigeria again let hausa continue....or nigeria divide

The anger of seeing a yoruba sly and saboteur in power in Nigeria is unbearable to us....

No way

attackgat:
And if they dont want Nigeria restructured, what will anybody do?

Restructuring is a waste of time, the North will never allow it.

Which means that everyone will either have to accept Nigeria the way it is or become an 'Nnamdi Kanu'

No two ways about it

sunnyb0b0:
That's d fair thing to do considering that Ndigbo make up 55% of Lagos population.

MyNewJackeT:
Yoruba men love igbo girls but I'm yet to see an igbo guy date a Yoruba girl, I'm not talking about celebrity weddings I mean for real.

Please don't provoke the ancestors by calling IPOB into this

shallysgirl:
You mean the civilian who later committed suicide and died of depression and a nonetity.

ShyCypher:
Serves the Afonja weaklin' right.

How can a woman overpower you? Afonjas are weaklings walahi.

Good riddance! We don't need inferior genes in our future generations' gene pool.

shallysgirl:
Shame on you and your tribe. Spit.
Where is the crying general?
Was it not a civilian Kwankwanso that came to yorubaland and told your leaders to shut up?
Was it not under a 'great and brave 'warrior Afonja that illorin was lost?
Was it not in Ife the ancestral yoruba land their was a tribal fight and only yorubas were arrested including an oba who your people demoted to a baale to save shame happened and your 'brave people '' including the VP couldn't make pim.
Your brave VP is there and Christians are killed daily and the brave man who is supposed to be a pastor couldn't/hasnt even or ever condermned it.p"

shallysgirl:
Ntoor, cry me a river.
I hope your wife and sisters are virgins and they marry as virgins.
You this smelling odudupigs terrorist and suicide bomber, did I quote you?
The memory of Ojukwu is blessed.the memories of our forebears and those who died during the Biafra war are blessed.we even had memorial for them a few months back,you remember?may30!
Ojukwu died in good old age. He may have been sick before his death, so?
A young yoruba girl died of cervical cancer at Luth the other day, she was less than 40yrs, she was incapacitated ,and there was even a go fund me page for her. I have not seen anyone making mockery of her.
This is how sick you yorubas can be.
As for your Lord and master Kanu, please ask the army. Good day, and don't quote me again, I don't converse with unreasonable people.

shallysgirl:
What about crying and lying to a junior officer. You prefer that too.
Ojukwu,'ran away', he came back a hero, died a hero, and was buried a hero.
Whatever you call them, these men has my respect till tomorrow, same can also be said by millions, even nations.
Even your so called bold and strong president had to reference the late Ojukwu because of the present day Biafra agitation.A coward indeed.i can see some persons don't know the meaning of the word coward.
The world knows the bold and the coward.
well,those that keep crying to junior officers and those committing suicide,we haven't heard of them since. Good day.

At least he's better than this rat that was killed by his Arewa masters in prison. MKO abimumu
