You are dying from mental slavery. No man can make a Yoruba a slave in Nigeria. You do not have a point with the nonsense you have been dishing out. I believe you need electric jolts to wake your brain from the traumatic slumber it went into this morning.

Did you read my post at all?
You think slavery is by chains and whips?
Slavery is subtle till today Africa is enslaved
It seems your thought process isnt high level
If not if after every basic thing I have wrote all you can say is I am suffering from slave mentality then you need education and you need to travel

ayokellany:
Are the Yoruba being ruled by the Fulanis lamenting wailing Or fighting for emancipation ? Are you from Kwara ? If it's your heart desire to die over what indigenous kwarans are not willing to fight for I pray that God grant you a quick, swift speedy death.

Your a Fulani hiding under Yoruba mans name

QuotaSystem:
If Ironsi's plan had worked do you not realize he would have passed the same decree and it would have been Ibos owning the 83% oil blocs and STILL would have been complaining? What do you think Ironsi's motivation for unification was? It was a game of domination, the East lost; the North won.

But your response is baseless considering the fact oil producing regions now were part of old eastern region hence oil blocs would have been 100% owned by easterners the same way we owned cocoa 100%

Your hatred for fellow southerners is blinding your thought process.

huptin:
Why should Yoruba wealth go to Ibadan and not Lagos where it is being mostly generated? Why would you replace one imperialism with another one? Regionalism wont work. True federalism is the answer, each state should control its resources. That is my take.

Ibadan is the political capital of Yoruba Kingdom how do you want a state like Ekiti, Kwara, Kogi west to survive
Lagos cant be capital as its close to the sea and thats threat should we adopt regionalism at least we know we YORUBAS are labouring for ourselves

50 is to be retained by each region that generates wealth
5% to Ibadan for development of capital city
30% for development of infrastructure
15% as Sovereign wealth funds
happy?

QuotaSystem:
You have a common enemy named POVERTY which is why you think a "tribe" is what makes you poor and not your individual lack of productivity

Go and tell LASG to ask Dangote, MRS, Rahamanniyya, BUA, BDC's et al. to leave Lagos because they are milking their resources.

Most likely your one of those lazy parasitic northerner
Dangote cant even store his wealth in Kano cause he knows his people are animals and very crude.

That is a blatant lie.

Excerpts from 'The 1966 Coups, Civil War, and Gowon's Government'

General Ironsi, an Igbo, emerged as the head of state. In his policies and actions, Ironsi did little to allay the fears of Igbo domination. He failed to place the coup plotters on trial as northern leaders demanded, and he appointed Igbos to sensitive governmental positions. Against all advice, Ironsi promulgated Decree Number 34 of 1966, which abrogated the federal system of government and substituted a unitary system; he argued that the military could only govern in this way. Given the already charged atmosphere, this action reinforced northern fears. As the north was less developed than the south, a unitary system could easily lead to southerners "taking over control of everything," as a northern spokesperson put it. It was at the height of northern opposition to unitarism that the countercoup of July 1966 took place. Most top-ranking Igbo officers, including Ironsi, lost their lives; the "status quo" of northern dominance was restored.

http://countrystudies.us/nigeria/70.htm

Ironsi was simply beaten at his own game. QED. He passed Decree 34 against all advice, and the abrogation of the federal system in favour of Unitary is evidence that he enforced the decree.

Yakubu gowon introduced Resource control not Ironsis unitary system
Ironsi was from south south you to ask yourself will a region that will have oil thats x10 of cocoa and groundnut pass a law where its own resources becomes for all?

listen I am not a pro ibo somebody but the truth is that we have a common enemy


Colonial Era
Northern control of resources:
The Northern regional government was in control of the natural resources in the region. Motivated by
this right of control, Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Premier of Northern Nigeria, set up Groundnut marketing Board
through which he utilized all the accruing revenue from the export of groundnut to United Kingdom. The
revenue was used in the development of the Northern region. The then regional government built the Ahmadu
Bellow University, the Bank of the North among other things.(Nnoli, 1978:181)
Eastern Control Of Resources:
The palm produce Marketing Board empowered Dr. Michael Okpara’s government in the Eastern
region as it had control of the revenue accruing from the export of palm produce to the United Kingdom. The
funding of African continental Bank and University of Nigeria Nsukka among others therefore was easy. (Nnoli,
1978:185)
Western Control of Resources:
In the Western region, within the colonial era, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, set up cocoa Marketing Board
and utilized the accruing revenue from cocoa export to United Kingdom in setting up the first television network
in the country and in funding a free primary education policy in the Western Region (Nnoli, 1978:183)
Post-Colonial Era:
In the post colonia era, resource control is consolidated in the hands of the Federal Government of
Nigeria. The pre-requisite to this situation is the petroleum Decree of 1969 passed during the regime of General
Gowon, which gave the right to the federal government to monopolize the control of oil and gas. Given this
scenario, the regions (states) from where oil was being exploited had to depend on the Federal Government for
allocation of resources. And, to consolidate the Federal Government gain, General Obasanjo’s regime in 1978
passed the land use Decree which declared the Federal Government the owner of all lands within the
geographical entity called Nigeria

So an igbo man introduced Unitary system
A northerner introduced a system where all resources were FG
And an OMO Odua reenforced it very sad

QuotaSystem:
IRONSI was beaten at his own game.

HE WAS BEATEN AT HIS GAME BUT WE THE YORUBAS ARE THE UNCONSCIOUS VICTIMS

ayokellany:
Is that principle of equity justice n fairness what the Igbo man had in mind when he initiated the first coup in Nigeria or was that What the Igbo man had in mind when he truncated confederalism to impose "Unitary system" the rule of the minority Igbos on the majority Hausa/Fulani m Yorubas ?

IT HAS HAPPENED SHOULD WE ALSO START BLAMING YORUBAS FOR OBJ WANTING TO GO A 3RD TERM
PLEASE APPEAL TO BOTH IGBOS AND YORUBAS
WE HAVE A COMMON ENEMY CALLED FULANI WHO MILKS OUR RESOURCES

WE CAN CHASE THEM OUT OF ILORIN AND HAUSA LAND AND THEN START INSULTING EACH OTHER
BUT SO FAR WE DONT WORK TOGETHER FOREVER WE WILL REMAIN SLAVES

ayokellany:
All I see is the lamentation of a Biafran. The YorubaS do not mind sharing the VAT from Lagos with a Kano that do not allow the sale of alcohol.

The Yorubas do not have to lead the lamentation of federalism when it was a Biafra Aguiyi Ironsi that truncated confedralism to install the rule of the minority Igbo on The majority Hausa n Yoruba.

What year would Biafrans like you stop lamenting like you are God who deposited crude oil in the NigerDelta ? What is happening to the 13% derivation ? Why is Lagos not fighting for VAT control or not entitled to 13% from the revenue accruing from it's port or the VAT it generates ?

Why must you die lamenting ? If 13% derivation is not enough why not push for the increase at the federal assemblies or do you have only retard like yourselves as reps ?

What year would you learn to build bridges to achieve your aim in Nigeria instead of lamentation n war ?

Finally why are you so forsaken that you can't make use of your brain but cry victim when you are clearly the aggressor ? Who truncated federalism in Nigeria ? A Biafran

Who orchestrated the first coup de etat in Nigeria ? A Biafran.


Simply because the majority are wiser and would not allow you to orchestrate a coup or destroy our newly found democracy / federalism you have been wailing for the past 100 days.

For Godsake what is the problem with you people ? Is it that your brain is damaged or what ? There's no perfect system anywhere in the world and you Biafra should learn to perfect the federalism we are enjoying or suffering as you deem fit n not wail simply because a Nigerian is ruling Nigeria.

omo Odua ni mi Mi o se omo igbo

your first response is very sad and its why they insult Yorubas by calling them slaves
A tribe openly insults us , brings nothing to the table, claim ownership of kwara, kogi and all you can say is that you dont mind sharing your common wealth with the same tribe?
Before Awolowo died what he said was that for Yorubas to move forward they must get access to their wealth
LAST MONTH ALON CUSTOMS IN OYO GENERATED 15BN AND GUESS WHAT THEY CANT PAY SALARIES BUT YOUR MUMU BRAIN IS SAYING THE NORTH SHOULD TAKE THE MONEY
ARE YOU A SLAVE? OR ARE YOU A MALLAM HIDING UNDER A YORUBA NAME

LAGOS ARE NOT FIGHTING FOR TAX INCREASE BECAUSE MOST DONT KNOW ANY INDUSTRY IN THEIR OUGHT TO BE PAYING TAX TO THEMSELVES

SECONLY IF YOUT HAPPY SHARING YOUR WEALTH WITH A DESERT TRIBE THEN LET DOES WHO DONT WANT TO SHARE KINDLY LEAVE
LOOK AT YORUBA LAND TODAY BEFORE WE BUILD MAINROADS ABUJA MUST APPROVE AND RELEASE FUNDS

PORTS GENERATE TRILLIONS BUT LAGOS GETS NOTHING TO MAINTAIN THE ROADS THAT PORT USERS MAKE USE OFF
MY YORUBA BROTHERS AND SISTERS THIS IS NOT A WAILING MATTER
THE NIGERIAN ENTITY IS STRUCTURED IN SUCH A WAY WE SOUTHERNERS ARE SLAVES AND OUR RESOURCES TAX ARE COLLECTED MAJORLY BY A REGION

INFACT I WOULD HAVE KEPT QUIET IF IT WAS SHARED EQUALLY OR NORTH WAS A PRODUCTIVE REGION BUT NO ITS NOT PLEASE WAKE UP
WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR AT LEAST 20% TAX RETENTION OR LEAVE THE UNION
THOSE INDUSTRIES POLUTTE OUR ENVIROMENT

IF WE DOMINATE A SECTOR WE ARE CHASED AWAY

This is the weak foundation of LIES that the OP built on.

AGUIYI IRONSI, an Igbo man, passed the controversial Unification Decree No. 34 aimed to unify Nigeria into a unitary state. His plan was to dominate the other ethnic nationalities, but was outsmarted by the Hausa Fulani.

If you observe I wrote ENFORCED not introduced it as at when Aguinyi introduced it was
- recommended to him by the northern oligarchs
- it didnt lead to resource control and taxation being taken away to a central spot

Ugomba:
kai, guy you sabi wetin de on ground, thats why Igbo man is hated for demanding a Nigeria of Equality, Justice and Fairness

My YORUBA PEOPLE ONLY THINK ONLY NIGER DELTA IS BEING RIPPED OF CAUSE OF OIL BUT THIS ARE FACT FILES 80% OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE COMES FROM NIGER DELTA

80% OF GDP EARNINGS COME FROM YORUBA LAND
HUMAN CAPITAL OF IGBOS ARE USED IN OTHER REGIONS BUT BULK OF THEIR TAX STILL GOES TO NORTH

WE ARE ALL IN THIS SCAM TOGETHER
WAKE UP
OMO ODUA

pazienza:
Worry more about Oodua republic, you know you have still to sort of your Northern borders, worry more about that, leave the headache of who and who doesn't want to be part of Biafra for Biafrans( Igbo and non Igbo).

Of course, Eastern Nigeria is a white man creation, Bernard bourdillion is the name of the man that created Eastern region in 1939, that's exactly why Biafra 2.0 is not working with Burdillion map, that's exactly why we are talking about the Idomas and Igbos in Benue and Ikas in Edo state and Aniomas in Delta, does any of these look to you like we are working with Bernard bourdillion maps?

Onye isi Oji, think for once.

Theres no need to insult rather educate them

The reason why Awolowo was able to perform was not because he collected revenue from Lagos (FCT) but he manages Yorubas peoples wealth
Also as at 1978 Customs paid fees to Yoruba states which does not happen again.

Why do we have to wait for Abuja to build Lagos Ibadan express way
Why is Kwara and Kogi not part of west despite being geopgraphically west


Kano does not allow alcohol to be sold but It shares out of VAT generated from alcohol sales
Yoruba land accounts for non oil wealth of NIGERIA and it should go to ibadan not abuja
same way Niger delta oil should go to SS or SE if they decide to merge
We have no reason to share our oils in Ondo and Lagos only not to eat majority of it

For those who wonder why they call Southern Nigerian slaves.
Let me explain you see Nigeria is not a homogenous nation it’s a union of various countries or kingdom notably the Yoruba Kingdom, Hausa Kingdom and Igbo kingdom. Now ideally each Kingdom anywhere in the world manages its resources itself and enjoys it alone the English Kingdom doesn’t share its resources with the Scottish Kingdom in Europe Germany doesn’t share its resources with Italy and even though the same country Dubai doesn’t share its resources with other emirates.
And should different kingdoms agree to come together each kingdom must control its own resources, The only way resources are shared is if a kingdom has been subjugated by another for example the old imperial Oyo empire collected tributes from the Egbas, Nupe Kingdom and even the Dahomey Kingdom, The old British empire collected tributes from its colonies inform of tax and resources.
As at independence Nigeria was a union of different independent kingdoms, each were able to manage its own resources, tax in Yoruba territory were paid to Ibadan not Abuja or Lagos, Cocoa the oil of then was 100% enjoyed by the Yorubas, the North enjoyed its own resources east same thing.
But with the intervention of the military in power the Fulani who destroyed the Hausa Kingdom and were even coming for the Yorubas if not for the Great Aalafin of Oyo, Ijebu and Ekiti warriors who defended Yoruba territory, in fact today Ilorin a 100% Yoruba town is listed as an emirate and the British allocated 30 more towns to help create Kwara and Kogi state.
Using the Military, the same Fulani enforced a unitary system which means every regions resources goes to the centre aka Abuja now here is the trick the majority of that money goes to north particularly north west and its shared based on population which is wrong on all scales it’s a form of subjugation.
So from that point of view the Yoruba Kingdom and Igbo Kingdom which has Niger Delta has part of its territory has been subjugated. The Igbos will fight against this system even though they lost mainly due to the fact that the Yorubas didn’t assist militarily and were interested in ruling the entity called Nigeria and the Igbos didn’t carry the Yorubas along in terms of logistics and military empowerment when planning an independence war.
However as the Igbo territory lost the war, its territory was subjugated (today the Fulani’s who fought own virtually all the oil blocs) symbolic to the way Oyo kingdom owned all resources in Dahomey kingdom after Oyo king defeated Dahomey Kingdom) and so was the Yoruba resources even though no war was fought to claim it, the unitary system applied to all.
Today the Yoruba Kingdom is the wealthiest in West Africa it accounts for 55% of the Nigeria’s economic activities and host the richest, fastest growing and biggest city in West Africa.
However their tributes (tax on industries, resources, ports, and customs) are forcefully taken by the same Fulani from the North that is modern day slavery.
The Igbos have always opposed the system, the Niger delta fighting daily for resource control however the Yorubas have not complained about being ripped off rather we have been looking for the most diplomatic way to get it which isn’t working out the only thing the Fulani immigrants understand is Force ask the Cameroonians how they chased Fulanis away.
To be fair I am Yoruba most Yorubas don’t actually know the Billions being generated from their territory belongs to them and not Abuja so they actually don’t know they are under modern day subjugation. Also our President Olusegun Obasanjo didn’t do much about the system which I don’t understand.
Yoruba also like the idea of Nigeria being in a larger family it gives unrestricted access to each ethnic groups purchasing power and creates wealth unfound anywhere in Africa. But my fellow Yorubas we cannot be a union where we simply don’t enjoy the fruits of our labour (tax) and our God given resources (Geographical advantage which gives us the busiest seaports, airports and lucrative borders)
London stock exchange, Dover ports, London Heathrow airport, University of Oxford, Cambridge and London imperial university all pay taxes to the English Kingdom not United Kingdom and even if they should do in a later future, the majority of tax won’t go to Scotland or Wales unless they are subjugated by them.
Dubai enjoys its oil 100% income generated from tourism when you pay for a visa to go to Dubai enjoys the money without sharing with Abudhabi .So should we fight for true regionalism Lagos stock exchange, Apapa, Tin can and PTML Ports, Oyo area command, MMA will all pay taxes to Ibadan you can imagine how rich the Yoruba Kingdom will be. Until we fight for our resources we will never progress forward and will remain modern day subjugated territories that’s the bitter truth Yoruba Ronu.
For those who will insult me and say I am still archaic and stuck in the past ask yourself
1) If we have truly moved forward as a nation and people why don’t we have an Oba in Ilorin, why is Kwara and Kogi west despite being geographically western Nigeria not part of the South west
2) Why do the Igbo have only 5 states despite being huge in number 18% of Nigeria’s population
3) Why is that Lagos has 20 local governments and Kano has 44 local governments despite Lagos having three times population
4) Why is that the term Hausa-Fulani Is accepted but no term like Yoruba/Edo/Ishekiri or Igbo/Ijaw
5) Why can’t your region set its educational standards
6) Why can’t your region builds ports at its will
7) Why must we wait for a central Figure to build infrastructure within our territory
If you go through this questions and you can defend them being a southerner ask yourself are you a slave?

It’s high time for Modern Yoruba youths to wake up from slumber we are in 2015 and cannot afford to be using our God given resources, human talent to finance a dead unproductive empire in a desert that brings nothing to the table.

Where did Bisi Akande disown Bukola Saraki as a Yoruba man?
Wasnt he wailing as a SW APC chieftain and Tinubu stalwart rather than an average Yoruba man?
FYI, history has it that Saraki's grandfather who lived in Ivory Coast was never an Ilorin man. The thread is here on NL. So quit that Alimi crap.
It is no news that Ilorin Yorubas use the Hausa cap and pledge allegiance to the emir and Sokoto caliphate. That's story for another day.

Stop enforcing him to be youba simple

Ooni of Ife that has his root from Sudan, is he the one you are relying on? Oni is not even yoruba. Benin and Togo and Cuba? Abeg go back to your dreaming, your people can never engage in any war because of your cowardice nature.

Now your uttering trash the Yorubas are excellent warriors the last time I checked they have not been ran over or suffered a genocide chest beating doesn't equal strength

up till 2011 your people were roundly killed in north and you did nothing about it

Where did Saraki come about his Yoruba first name and surname?

Why havent they changed their names to pure Fulani names like the Emir of Ilorin did in a newspaper advert?


Why do they keep bearing Yoruba names?

Why was Saraki's father called Baba Oloye in Ilorin?

Whatever you claim to be must fall flat beside what you really are.

If you claim to be a monkey from now till eternity, does that make you one?

Come on, Buhari and co know themselves quite well and Saraki is not one of them.

Can Saraki even speak one sentence in Hausa?
How many cows does he have?

Abegi, Saraki is a pure Yoruba man.

BE LIVING IN DELUSION SARAKI IS NOT A YORUBA MAN

VirginFinder:
You are blessed!

The north has never and will never see Kwara and part of Kogi as north just like Saraki is not considered a northerner.

And in reality, those people always vote like the SW.

Hence the south has 18 states.

Saraki is considered a northerner not just a core northerner he has been rewarded with Senate Presidency hes loyal to caliphate

VirginFinder:
Dont mind the dullard!

Everyone knows that Tinubu's role in Buharis's emergence as president was to fasttrack Yoruba's emergence as president in the near future.

Backing GEJ for a 2nd term would have put a Yoruba presidency project out of reckoning indefinitely.
GEJ as we all realised in his tenure did his possible best to stick his head neck deep in the assssss of the core northerners but they kept dodging his advances.
He'd have gladly returned power to the north in 2019.
Where would that have left we Yorubas?

Today, Yorubas are nos 2,3,6 etc

Where were we in GEJ's tenure despite helping in assume power both as acting and substantive president?

To all you ibos and other southerners, Yorubas are on top of this.

Any Yoruba wailing now just wants more.

Please saraki is not a Yoruba man do not be fooled by the name Bukola the Fulani king in Ilorin bears a Yoruba name called Dolapo does that make him Yoruba
And Saraki has always showed Loyalty to SULTAN OF SOKOTO will a real omo oduduwa be loyal to a fulani immigrant king? NO
also i remember his father saying he was from mali
so pls dont force a Yoruba identity on him.

And yes I supported Buhari via Tinubu but the man has gotten it wrong
he has misfired
call a spade a spade
and please Tinubu did not fastrack anything its all brain wash.

.Religion is thicker than water. More Yorubas in the last three decades have embraced Fulani/Hausa religion -Islam. Yioruba blends more with Fulani/Hausa than any other tribe in the south of Nigeria.

So all your appeal to southern Nigeria does not go to the Yoruba.

That is not true the last time I checked they all voted Jonathan 2011 religion doesn't come first in Yoruba land
And the votes in 2015 were not along religious lines if not Jonathan would have won 65% of Yorubas are not muslims REMEMBER

hansad:
Lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll,

Even the most educated Yoruba does not understand that the five-states-only structure in the southeast was a huge design by Arewa soldiers that created states to make the whole south of Nigeria remain under-represented in the NASS. Therefore, whatever the South wants done in Nigeria cannot be possible, unless in emergency situations like Obasanjo being drafted as president by Arewa to atone for MKO Abiola treatment, or in the case of Good luck Jonathan after Yar'Adua's death.

In the present 36 states and Abuja political structure, there is no way a southerner can win presidential election. Obasanjo and Jonathan became president - we know how.

I disagree the power to giving powers to south falls on Yorubas remember they occupy kwara and kogi that way it's 18.5 states not 17

TolaniLuv:
I don't blame Tinubu! He's reaping what he sow now with passion..

I'm ashamed of my tribe for real tho. Dis abok!'s don't like us a bit! we still prefer em over Ibo's i don't get it. but, I know Yoruba Christian prefer Ibo's all day everyday. I know many Christian yorubas getting married to Ibo's with no prob!! But, yoruba muslin will forever lick Hausa people ass till Jesus come to save em! This Hausa people don't care about u! a proud Christian yoruba ! We don't hate Ibo's ..

I disagree it's not a Muslim thing I'm christain and I voted buhari my Muslims friends actually supported Jonathan

It was simply aa matter of interest
Afterall Obanikoro is a Muslim and he fought hard
Upon how the northern Muslims have dealt with Yoruba Muslims Abiola and Fasoranti they can't make the same mistake of voting along religious line
Yoruba is too sophisticated for that

However as the Igbo territory lost the war, its territory was subjugated (today the Fulani’s who fought own virtually all the oil blocs) symbolic to the way Oyo kingdom owned all resources in Dahomey kingdom after Oyo king defeated Dahomey Kingdom) and so was the Yoruba resources even though no war was fought to claim it, the unitary system applied to all.
Today the Yoruba Kingdom is the wealthiest in West Africa it accounts for 55% of the Nigeria’s economic activities and host the richest, fastest growing and biggest city in West Africa.
However there tributes (tax on industries, resources, ports, and customs) are forcefully taken by the same Fulani from the North that is modern day slavery.
The Igbos have always opposed the system, the Niger delta fighting daily for resource control however the Yorubas have not complained about being ripped off rather we have been looking for the most diplomatic way to get it which isn’t working out the only thing the Fulani immigrants understand is Force ask the Cameroonians how they chased Fulanis away.
To be fair I am Yoruba most Yorubas don’t actually know the Billions being generated from their territory belongs to them and not Abuja so they actually don’t know they are under modern day subjugation. Also our President Olusegun Obasanjo didn’t do much about the system which I don’t understand.
Yoruba also like the idea of Nigeria being in a larger family it gives unrestricted access to each ethnic groups purchasing power and creates wealth unfound anywhere in Africa. But my fellow Yorubas we cannot be a union where we simply don’t enjoy the fruits of our labour (tax) and our God given resources (Geographical advantage which gives us the busiest seaports, airports and lucrative borders)
London stock exchange, Dover ports, London Heathrow airport, University of Oxford, Cambridge and London imperial university all pay taxes to the English Kingdom not United Kingdom and even if they should do in a later future, the majority of tax won’t go to Scotland or Wales unless they are subjugated by them.
Dubai enjoys its oil 100% income generated from tourism when you pay for a visa to go to Dubai enjoys the money without sharing with Abudhabi .So should we fight for true regionalism Lagos stock exchange, Apapa, Tin can and PTML Ports, Oyo area command, MMA will all pay taxes to Ibadan you can imagine how rich the Yoruba Kingdom will be. Until we fight for our resources we will never progress forward and will remain modern day subjugated territories that’s the bitter truth Yoruba Ronu.
For those who will insult me and say I am still archaic and stuck in the past ask yourself
1) If we have truly moved forward as a nation and people why don’t we have an Oba in Ilorin, why is Kwara and Kogi west despite being geographically western Nigeria not part of the South west
2) Why do the Igbo have only 5 states despite being huge in number 18% of Nigeria’s population
3) Why is that Lagos has 20 local governments and Kano has 44 local governments despite Lagos having three times population
4) Why is that the term Hausa-Fulani Is accepted but no term like Yoruba/Edo/Ishekiri or Igbo/Ijaw
5) Why can’t your region set its educational standards
6) Why can’t your region builds ports at its will
7) Why must we wait for a central Figure to build infrastructure within our territory
If you go through this questions and you can defend them being a southerner ask yourself are you a slave?

It’s high time for Modern Yoruba youths to wake up from slumber we are in 2015 and cannot afford to be using our God given resources, human talent to finance a dead unproductive empire in a desert that brings nothing to the table.
