I've read it.

- "The Yoruba people are irrevocably commited to a fundamental structuring".[/I]
OK... why? I say economic hardship

[i]- "inaliable right to self-determination guaranteed by the United Nations Charter".[/I]
No country is obligated to recognize anything, unless it serves their own interest. Leave charter alone.

[i]- "cannot be carried out under the present National Assembly... does not recognize the will of We the People".
Fine. You are welcome to challenge the sovereign with violence (which is its right to resort to, as mandated by its Constitution). Good luck. History has shown that the UN (I really mean the Security Council) only recognizes the side with superior firepower, and many millions are displaced/killed/starved while UN countries make money selling arms, planes, and relief supplies.

I've no problem with restructuring, and I will gladly apply for visa if Oduduwa Republic becomes a strong, prosperous, sovereign nation.

I'm not sure I read it anywhere in the post where violence was mentioned. There you go again being dishonest.
If Yoruba no longer wish to be part of the federation which is not what the advert is saying then I challenge you to come and stop them with your "superior firepower"

OK, I must be mistaken (and I'm not trying to be cheeky).

Please quote the article and make plain its main thrust. If people were gainfully employed with good jobs, schools, hospitals, etc. do you think this advert would make any sense? Intellectuals just get together and demand restructuring because everything is going well? Consider the following:

"Everyone is eating well and is healthy, so let's restructure for some other undisclosed reason" <- this one doesn't make much sense.

"Everyone is suffering, there are no jobs, so let's restructure" <- this one makes more sense, which leads me to my conclusion.

Instead of just stating that unemployment is not the main thrust, please put forward a plausible reason for the advert. I've given you my plausible reasons for my conclusion.

Basically the constitution we are operating is not a federal constitution. Nigeria became an independent country and got a carefully negotiated constitution agreed to by all the federating units.
What we have now is not working for anyone, except maybe a few who now have some advantages as a result of the skewed constitution.
States for example should not be going to Abuja every cap in hand like beggers.
There are several other issues affecting states which Abuja should have no business dealing with.

Read the part where the OP marked as " Must Read" and tell us what you think.

AfonjaConehead:
Coneheads were the mumu errand pigeons for mallams (as typical slaves)in the war against the crusader,Nnamdi Kanu. They were the empty barrels and high sounding drums,shouting anti Kanu bla bla bla.. They were foaming in the mouth and dared Kanu to enter Lagos. Operation python dance became more popular than the birthday,life and times of their great Otapiapia hero

Now they wan port to their amala kwantiri of coneheads where they will be free to pick pocket and harvest their heads for rituals,whosaai

all coneheads repeat after me: "ONE NAIJIRIYA!"



BAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....KIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKI...

Where is Nnamdi Kanu? What happened to Biafra or death? I bet Kanu eventually chose death and killed himself.

zendy:
What Im trying to say is that Igbos once left Nigeria. This is a feat that the Yoruba nation can only talk about but can never ever attempt. There are somethings that are beyond the capabilities of Yorubas and one of them is secession.

The Yoruba man is not made of the stuff needed to be a secessionist.

That is why most Igbos will laugh at any talk by Yorubas to leave Nigeria, it will only end in talk, same as YOLICOM.

Yoruba man not made for the stuff needed to be a secessionist? I'm I supposed to be debating this nonsense with you? Is there anyone specially made to be a secessionist?

Sprumbabafather:
Ibos found out this shitholle will never work since since 1966, it took the yorubas 52 years to realise the same things Ojukwu saw when Osinbajo was a
still running butt naked bathing on the rain waters of Ogbomosho

When papa Awo brilliantly proposed a secession clause be included in the independence constitution in case things didn't work out, what did your leaders do?
I guess it took ibos 3 million dead and 52 years in political wilderness to wake up.
Even when the call for restructuring started ibos were noticeably mute.

nextstep:

"No one needs to be told of the suffering of the people under the harsh economy...
... aspirations of most Nigerians are not being met...
... the dissatisfaction of citizens largely stems from a lack of opportunities for self development and employment..."

Are we reading the same advert? Those are clearly economic/employment concerns.

The guy you replied is just being dishonest. How can you read the post and conclude the thrust of the advert is unemployment!

zendy:
Yorubas dont have what it takes to leave Nigeria, they are not Igbos.

The North will reject restructuring and Yorubas will go back to chanting 'one Nigeria'

They are not ibos, are ibos now independent? Have they gotten a tiny little concession from Nigeria ever since they started yelling and bragging about some imaginary largest army in Africa?

omonnakoda:
He mentioned restructuring several times to disown.it
He said Biafra or death

He never did. He chanted biafra or death and started acting like a delusional Jewish fanatic.

AfonjaConehead:
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

CONEHEADS EYES DON CLEAR

The call for restructuring started long before Kanu and ipob. Besides, Kanu never mentioned restructuring once. He only wanted to kill people who are not ibos.

In which case he can move into his wife's massive hotel where he can get all the space he wants.

usba:
[s][/s]

You must hardly use your thinking faculty if you think it isn't joblessness that would push grown men to advertising restructuring instead of approaching their representatives to push such an agenda or do they think their advert will scared the populace into submission? Gerrarahere if you are not interested in reasoning.

Scare? You believe this is an attempt to scare anyone? No wonder Kanu and his ipob morons failed miserably.
Ibo leaders better put on their thinking caps.

Our oyel.

horsepower101:
This is the biggest weakness of Yorubas. A typical yoruba will boldly vote against their own interest just to make sure that Igbos suffer. Their biggest fear in Nigeria is an Igbo man with an equal playing field.

When you know someone is talking nonsense.

bionixs:
this one is still drunk. by the time your eye clears, you will know that hiding inside Oshodi won't solve what you brought upon yourself, coward

Ipobs and the herdsmen are not too different from each other. Ipob is just a little more cowardly. They share same ideology of hate.

Some people are trying to provoke a civil war. I think this thing should be settled as quickly as possible.

Hungry bloggers. Get a random picture and write a bogus story to match it.

The OP is grossly misinformed. What a load of crap.

SalamRushdie:
We all knew the article wasn't from economist but the content therein is totally true to the core emanating from some really great and unbiased journalism ..I recommend the writer for an article award anyday..

If the article was that great and unbiased why the need to lie about the source?

By "common destiny" I'm guessing you are referring to the common attributes of laziness, street begging, illiteracy, religious violence and intolerance, corrupt Babanriga wearing kleptomaniacs.

I agree with you. It's hard to say which of the two between Yorubas and Hausa excels in backwardness.

Yorubas should be made a case study in proof of the theory that education will not stop a people from embracing ignorance, if ignorance happens to be their natural genetic inclination. How else can one make sense of the mindless support Dullar-dinho still enjoys amongst the supposedly educated Yorubas, inspite of all the crimes against humanity that have happened on his watch.

Natural genetic inclination! Perhaps acting first and thinking next is your own genetic inclination. Didn't ibos support a clueless Jonathan? Is there not a PDP controlled Yorubas state? Compressed and flattened brain does make for proper thinking.

Human life has lost value in my country.

Spirit of chuckie is well and alive.

Nutase:
Correct bae.

Na TB Joshua and Olukoya I dey pity because very soon there work go just increase.

Very soon Many of these perveted patrons of this shit will start running to them for deliverance from the spirit of Chuckie, Freddy Kruger, incubus, succubus, and dollybus.

I'm patiently waiting.

Lol, spirit of chuckie!

Death penalty for ritualists.

Ogun is a shithole state governed by a shithole party full of deceit

He should have said Biafra is a shithole. It is not what people call you that matters but what you answer to.

Washington (CNN)A growing number of nations are summoning US diplomats in the wake of President Donald Trump's "shithole" remark.

Top US diplomats in South Africa and Ghana were called on to meet with those governments, Undersecretary of State Steven Goldstein told CNN. Haiti, Botswana and Senegal have also summoned diplomats over the matter, and more diplomats are expected to be called this week, Goldstein said.
The summons add to the fallout over Trump's comments last week in which he referred to African nations as "shithole countries" during an Oval Office discussion about immigration. On Friday, he denied using that language and specifically denied making derogatory comments about Haiti, and went so far as to flatly say over the weekend that he is "not a racist."

South Africa's government announced a formal protest of the remarks on Sunday, acknowledging Trump's denial that the exact language was used but "noted further that President Trump's denial was not categorical, referring only to Haiti and not addressing the entirety of the statement attributed to him."
State Department officials said diplomats have been advised not to try to interpret or soften the President's remarks. Rather, they are encouraged to listen and acknowledge the countries' concerns. They were also instructed to emphasize areas of shared cooperation.
"The President has the right to make whatever remarks he wants and we respect the President," Goldstein said. But diplomats have been instructed to "reaffirm that the US remains committed to its relationships with these countries and cares deeply about their people," he added.
"They will have to work extra hard to send that message right now, but that's part of their responsibility. It doesn't change what they do," Goldstein said.
CNN's David McKenzie contributed to this report.

FFK was a shithead aviation minister. Ethiopia could start and run a world class airline. There's nothing to show that the loudmouth was ever in the aviation ministry.
He was a shithead minister.

This is a terrible development for the hate mongers.

Soon poultry farmers will ask for their own chicken colonies.

gists:
Pls tell me you are joking
Is this supposed to be a solution?

ok. The farmers spray the chemicals and all the cows dies. do you think that will stop the killings? Is killing another persons animal not a crime in itself. Do you think you can stop a crime by commiting another?

More importantly, to show you your suggestion is one of the most ridiculous ideas, what will you do when the herdsmen attacks the community for killing their cows? Will you spray chemicals for their guns also Or you think they will just take it as a act of God that lots of cows just dies after grazing on a particular community?

This is why this country is in this situation. We lack deep thinking. We feared this will happen because we suspected PDP does not have the right intellectual capacity to be a good opposition and put APC on their toes.

What we should do is continue to mount pressure on the government and do its constitutional role of protecting lives and properties. Get justice done. Arrest the killers on both sides. Seize the killers' cows and farms and hand over to ministry of agric or something or put an army barrack there - just build a barrier like ranching as has been suggested.

Killing the cows is stup!d and counter productive.
This bloodletting must stop.

Are you suggesting farms should be seized? The herdsmen are the aggressors in all of this and it is a pity the government is not doing anything to protect the farmers.
My take on this is simple, if the government will not protect you, then you have a God given right to protect yourself and your family by all means necessary.
The idea that you can toil daily in the African sun, plant your crops and then have some cows to feed on it is unbelievably unjust.

Why not a state for cow herders? State of cows, perhaps.
Ranches, make it legal for farmers to bear arms, let each state craft it's own policy. These are the only acceptable options.

If they are so good they should stay back and fix their countries , yall sounding like US citizenship is now a God given right

It takes one visionary leader to change everything for the better, you too can be that leader. Are you capable?
