And the Yorubas would come out unscathed?

Think again. Fool

Alcatraz001:
The damage has been done, we can't rebuild the trust and love we once had.Prior to jonathan's administration, we Yoruba's thought the ibos were our friend and we were generally weary of the Hausa man but GEJ adminstration brought out the demons in the ibos and they should their true colour hence revealing deep seated hatred and animousity towards us just because they thought their fellow IBO brother was now in power.

Well, GEJ is out now and yorubas know how you feel about them BUT please stop with the insults and antagonisation, politics is largely amoral and devoid of anything personal.

We will keep trouncing you on all spheres in this country if you don't desist from operating with hate in your heart. If you persist, another genocide is in the offing and the present generation of Yorubas and are ready.

Macelliot:
Start from Ilorin.

Rawani:
How can you call a region that produces the grains, milk, meat, vegetables and food in general that you depend on for your daily survival, and is filled with numerous solid minerals a 'desert region that offers nothing'?

Now I see the point your opponents have been making. If you had presented your case with sincerity, probably your message will be given the value you desire, however your current approach betrays a dishonest agenda.

coolitempa:
I am a Yoruba nationalist......I understand that we will always have neighbours whom we might not like.......the OP has many valid points........

amakasul:
Again you have created a fraudulent post claiming to be Yoruba even when it is evident you are a Biafra boy desperate to create acrimony between SW and North. You lie, ibo boy, you have failed woefully.

If you like go and create a dozen more fake profiles to dish out ibo propaganda, your ibo sense won't work here.

knowledgeable:
My friend, the common enemy here is the disfunctional structure, of which you (hausa/fulani) are the gate keeper of. Is the root cause of poverty, underdevelopment, backwardness, disease, road accidents, corruption, ethnicity, religious extremism, bokoharam, fulani herdsmen slaughtering unhindered, born to rule mentality, power outages, Yoruba/Igbo rivalry, Niger delta militancy, overpaid senators, baby factory, migrant prostitution, Biafra separationist movements, short life span, arm robbery, rituals for money, fulani cattles on roads and farms, foreigners exploitation of Nigerians, no water, no public toilets, no under ground sewer systems, no security, devaluation of naira, oil subsidies, cut off exam mark for different regions, increase in heart attacks, kidney disease/failures, no hospitals, reasons we can't manufacture are own cars, caterpillars, weapons, televisions, telephones, computers, build strong social institutions, hausa/fulani marriage to this disfunctional political structure is the reason we all are living under the weight of a fragile state, and finally, is the reason, Nigerians do not feel they have a future, .......but they will give Buhari enough time to prove them right or wrong.

The North is not d cause of poverty. Corruption is d cause. We are selfish and greedy people. Even when we have d so called 50% resource control we want, it wont lead to much with our current greed.

Here in rivers state where i am , almost all d state scholarship to sturdy Medicine abroad especially in Russia and Ukraine goes to only top politicians and govt officials children who mostly live in portharcourt. The real communities where d revenue are coming from are neglected. Almost everything is concentrated on state capital.

Can you tell me how we are better than Hausa Fulani in managing public fund?

Nasman:
So, since Lagos is a coastal city, then it is more populated than Kano?
For goodness Lagos is the smallest state in terms of land size in the whole federation.
People packed in a small area. The population density will be high. It a simple fact, and this is the case of Lagos. Don't confuse population density with an actual demographic figure.
Take a trip to Kano state., and educate yourself.
I drop my case.

amakasul:
You are the liar and a tribal bigot seeking to sow seeds of discord between Nigerians.
Very few apart from ND and SE will agree with your half-baked assumptions.

Scotland does not have full fiscal autonomy from the UK - this is a lie of yours.
Scotland is a country in its right but in union with England, Wales and NI to form UK, which is a misconception of the ibos when they compare themselves to Scotland and referendum.
You should be ashamed to stoke tribalism in this age of multi-ethnic countries and societies.

atbu1983:
We love blaming others for our problem. It is a sign of failure. We have been enjoing 13% derivative for more than 13years. What have we done with it? NDDC is d most corrupt agency in Nigeris. NDDC is fully managed by us. Almost all d staffs of NDDC are from d south south. All d staffs do is share d money to develop thier own community among themselves. Buy big cars and chase d beautiful women. Most of NDDC road here in Portharcourt were i Live dont survive 5 years despite all d millions and billions spent on them. Almost all d contractors are indigene. Tell me how Hausa Fulani is responsible for d extreme stealing in NDDC and south south states? He who is faithful with little will be faithful with much. To be sincere with ourselves, even though we dont have 50% resource control we want, we have been given reasonable attention. We have 13% derivative, we have NDDC and we have ministry of Niger Delta. With all this, what have we done to show we are better than Hausa Fulani? That is why i agree with Barrack Obama when he told d black Americans to stop blaming d white for thier failure and take responsibility.

Even though i want resource control, i dont think i want it for d current politicians and leaders we have in Niger Delta.

Nasman:
I dont have much to say. But, let me draw ur attention, to a myth which is popular in contemporary southern owned Media. Lagos is not and can't be more populous than Kano.
You can blaming us the Fulani as the main cause of your (Southerners). For all I care, we don't give a damn.
Nobody can make Fulani politically irrelevant. We are not Igbos, how Jews are powerful in the US, that's how powerful Fulani are in Nigeria.
Take it or leave it.

amakasul:

You don't know a thing. How does pulling resources of the federation together in a diverse country makes one a slave? Just look at the emotive word you are using! By the way, which 30% of the economy does Scotland not control?

Oga, abeg, at some point, with the way this country is going... We mind

kenny987:
Like some wise person said, Nigeria has a date with the truth and that day of reckoning is coming. Until then, people will keep hiding their heads in the sand and proclaiming lies as truth. Soon enough...very soon.

It is alarming that some here actually have a reason to support and encourage this despotic arrangement/system of governance rather than advocate for decentralization and resource control. A union must be organic with the consent of all parties involved and sacrosanct terms of engagement spelled out! Any other thing is a recipe for disaster and will only be managed for so long. Soon...we will have no option but to accept the truth for what it is and hopefully, it would not be too late.

zendy:
[b]For how long will you Yorubas keep peddling this false story that Ironsi was the one who destroyed regionalism and introduced the unitary system of Government? Yes Ironsi promulgated the unification decree,however, that decree did not erode the essential components of regionalism. All 4 regions where still in existence when Ironsi was killed. The regions still controled their resources. Ironsi needed that decree to enable him rule as a military leader who is used to uniformity. It was Gowon who came in and abrogated the regions, created States and made them mere appendages of the Government at the centre. Let's not keep up this falsehood. To this day, the North has refused to let regionalism return because of their over dependence on the resources of others. Another reason why the North does not want regionalsm is because it will end the political stranglehold they have over Nigeria. I'm an Igbo man, I have gone past squabbling with the Hausa and Yoruba man over what is mine in Nigeria and what is not. Regionalism is no longer good enough. A full secession of all Igbos and Igboid groups under the banner of Biafra is the minimum acceptable demand. We cant keep lying to ourselves that we are one just because a "British terrorist" called Lugard came to west Africa to tell us so. We must all go and look for our individual countries and do away with this 'British created nightmare' called Nigeria which is representative of nobody. Enough is enough [/b]

sunsewa:
Seems u read my comments yesterday on naira land,cos we are almost saying same thing,when I said Yorubas are beneficial to Nigeria than core north,oil they don't have,seaports no,lucrative airports and borders they don't have, commercial and industrial strength they don't have because of their violent nature and boko haram menace social life that encourages alcoholic companies and endorsement of our musicians is banned due lslam,musicians and alcoholic companies are all paying tax to government which they also collect their allocation from, if other southern states drives companies away through violence or impose their similar attitudes to social life, then Nigeria Will be like Afghanistan,cog of development resides in the southern parts thanks to God given resources and violent free nature of southern Nigeria,yet we are been scammed due to our disunity in the name of central government, yet my Yoruba neighbours will be showing I don't care attitudes in nairaland.we call them aboki,but they are wiser than us the whole southern Nigeria.


Clearly they are smarter
My Yorubas dont read history
most dont know about Sultan of sokoto
most think KWARA is truly geographically north whereas its west.

ITS MOSTLY IGNORANCE NOT LIKE WE KNOW AND WE WANT IT

ALSO YORUBAS ARE THE BIGGEST EXPORTERS AND HOUSE 78% OF NIGERIAS NON OIL
WE ARE ALSO THE GATEWAY OF TRADE DUE TO OUR GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION


I HAVE DECIDED TO INFORM MY YORUBAS NATIONS
WE CHASED AWAY BRITISH IMPERIALISM TO REPLACE WITH FULANI RETARDED IMPERIALISM

1adewoye:
You are an unbridled tribal bigot pretending to be Yoruba. You are also deficient in the knowledge you claim to possess.

Few examples: resources from Scotland's North Sea oil goes to the coffers of the United Kingdom to be shared in budgetary allocations between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The same goes for taxes generated as opposed to your lie.

Italy is not part of Germany, so why would they share resources?

The Gulf states are independent and why would they share resources when each is sovereign in its right? Do they have the same passports?
Ask about multi-ethnic countries and you will understand how the centre holds the various regions together.

You are a fraud!

AlPeter:
I have heard of the Kanuri Kingdom, the YORUBA (ife) Kingdom, the Benin Kingdom, The FULANIS (Sokoto) kingdom but never of a United Ibo Kingdom. From the little I know of Nigeria it is the Yorubas that have fought more for Federalism than any other tribe. Your submission is flawed in so many ways

ba7man:
Even when GEJ was president, he did the same thing to the southwest so why are you making it seem as if the north are the enemy?

There's a certain political class that have been ripping us off and they contain all tribes to a certain percentage. They sell off their region and people for their personal gains.

They are the ones that kill to be in Abuja......... they are our kinsman and they are in our midst, not on the other side.

PenSniper:
Op, i advise you not to deny your tribe like a coward. Stand up and be counted with your Ibo tribe.
The Yoruba neither feels subjugated nor threatened. In any/every given situation, we know what to do without making a hullabaloo.
I see your post as lamentations by an impostor. The target of your crookery are too clever to be hoodwinked.

Don't cry for me Argentina.

PenSniper:
Thank you for that apt analysis of an average ibo - they behave like people with damaged or deranged brain, period.

Shedding crocodile tears, lamentations, fabrications, evading the truth, playing the victim and falsifying historical records are tendencies embedded in their veins.

If Lord Lugard can be blaimed for orchestrating Nigeria's problems, Aguiyi Ironsi and his ibo inner circle compounded the woes by imposing the unitary system of government. Their intention to subjugate the north and SW was foiled by the counter coup.

The genesis of coups in Nigeria was Ibo greed for power to lord it over others due to their numerical strenght in the army.

While Awolowo led the SW to oppose the feudalist north, Azikiwe and his Ibo people made themselves ready pawns for the use of the north to spite Awolowo thinking the Yoruba could be cowed.

With the north and east dominating the army with a very scanty western presence, Ojukwu naively expected Awolowo to lead the Yoruba into a suiicidal seccesion with no army to man the borders or fight. The resultant effect of Ojukwu's refusal to heed Awo's superior wisdom need not mentioned here again.

Harold Wilson revealed that the British givernment which he represented were manipulating the north and Azikiwe against Awolowo's perceived potentials to make Nigeria an envy of Britain if allowed to rule.

No wonder from the first republic to the 3rd, Azikiwe continued to zealously play the errand-boy role assigned to him by his masters upnorth in order to spite Awolowo and the SW. Always happy to jump at a ceremonial post so as to continue eating the crumbs from his masters' table.

At an election stalemate, when the opportunity presented itself to him to invite Awolowo to form the government, he, against all normal and sensible logic, decided to invite Abubakar, like the obidient servant that he was.

When Awolowo offered to work as finance minister while he would be president, Azikiwe, true to his betrayal type, declined but instead toed the order from his NPN lords.

These are facts of history.

Let haters of the Yoruba continue to hate to their own regret, we care less.

ayokellany:
You must be delusional if you think roaming the creeks of Biafra is called travelling. Everyone needs education but you my friend what you need is more of "common sense". The ability to make intelligence use of the education you have gotten. That piece of intelligence which is not common n could be found in possession of dogs while lacking in some humans.

That ability to understand the fact ethnic group say Urhobo produces the largest amount of crude oil in Delta state does not mean Itshekiri Lands would not be developed by the same revenue accruing from the oil. Now apply that to Lagos VAT n NigerDelta oil in the context of the federation called Nigeria.

And let me tell you that in the event of the breakup of this country, Ilorin and Offa will remain 100 % Northern Nigeria and not one inch of land will be ceded to yorubas".- junaid mohammed.

huptin:
No i am not happy! Lagos was capital of Nigeria for many years how many enemies invaded the territory? Even during the civil war Lagos was safe, my question is, why should Ibadan take what belongs to Lagos in the name of regionalism? As for Ekiti and Osun , in a true federal system a proportion of revenue generated in Lagos will be set aside from them to enable them diversify their economy and survive, but for Lagos money to go to Ibadan in whatever guise is totally wrong.
