CrescentMoon:
I appreciate your suggestion, but it may not work. One needs physical damage before people can be moved to help. Ordinary beggars can come up with a story like this anytime to garner fortunes.

Let me just hope some suggestions about habits change, black seed, bitters will work.

You should understand the tribe he is talking about. The ones that call our land a no man's land.

FYI. I and many others (my people) on here are for the balkanization of Nigeria, so oil companies moving their headquarters to wherever they like is the least of my or our concerns.

googlepikins:
By the time we block our oil, we will see if there will still be money in lagos. cows

MrMaestro:
Agreed, but honestly, there will have to be tough decisions that need to be made. Including deporting many (maybe not all) of those that are not yoruba, even if they're perfectly law abiding. This is a decision that needs to be made in the beginning. I don't think you understand the amount of non yoruba residents in the southwest. We don't want another Nigeria situation. Our forefathers failed to steer us away from this path in Nigeria, knowing this fact, we must do what is necessary to ensure without a shadow of a doubt that the nation remains an unquestionably yoruba nation for decades to come. To do this we must make these tough choices to prevent future generations from having to deal with more difficult situations in a multi ethnic society, similar to what we're dealing with now.

raumdeuter:
Yeah those are also included. I mean etc. Nupe and Igala are close to Yorubas ancestrally and we have had dealings for several centuries before Oyinbos came here without any problem

Even Sangos mother was a Nupe woman. The groups that share a border with Yorubas like Igala, Emira, Nupe Edo etc will be given a priority

raumdeuter:
My chairman, My own view is even more extreme, I will propose everyone with Ibo blood get out first and those interested in living here start their immigration paperwork with vetting from Yoruba immigration, stating what they want to come here to do.

If Business they must have upward of 20M Naira in a Yorubaland bank account, to work the company hiring them must prove there are no Yoruba or Edo Ebira, Itsekiri people with such skills similar to H1B visas.

And no matter how many years you live or how many kids you have, even if you born your intestines your citizenship isnt guaranteed (Like in UK)

If for vacation you have a valid 6 month renewable visa

@ Intrepid01, I still see the bitterness in the write up of some of our brothers on here. You raised a valuable perspective, which needed be placed in consideration. And it is about equity, fairness and assimilation of people willing to naturalized. This will bring in different ideology although must be positive which must add value to our polity.

EMMAUGOH:
Most of your hailing this man..how did u comprehend this paragraph... Without any convictions... All I see is tribal bigotry all over the piece....

U mean we all should start fighting who becomes the president when we know the outcome of their performance...

How did obasanjo and osibanjo benefit Yoruba's and tinubu who orchestrated the later...

Most of our leaders like Dele Mmodu talk like babies and eXpect thier subject to act matured... To the hailing hailers this guy is not different from Nnamdi KANU who preach tribal supremacy or better than Buhari who made the 97% comment ...

So where is the tribal bigotry in that comment??!

Maduawuchukwu:
We have 36 states. Logic and common sense even lets us know that not all of them can be bad. A good number will be bad, some will be good. Experience since 1999 has shown this. The beautiful part of all these is that once a state catches the development fever, many others will catch up as they don't want to be left behind. That is how American states began until they all developed and that is how European countries also developed. In Naija, Lagos and Cross-rivers began all these security, IGR,comparative advantage shit that many serious states are trying to emulate now. That is how the fever spreads. Nigeria is becoming increasingly left with a choice; fail together or develop at your own pace. I go with develop at your own pace because Naija is not equal in xteristics to begin with.

MrMaestro:
Please do.

reality1010:
Unfortunately you yorubas started d insult and abuse on nairaland. You abuse other tribes in d past and got away with it but suddenly they came in and gave u ppl a full dose of what u want.Also ur betrayal and tribal attitudes compounded d whole matters.Before d exit of d last administration u teemed up with others to abuse d SS&SE but after election the SE came heavily on u careless of their mega bytes.Biafra came up and some of u looked for their troubles hence the heavy insult&abuse.Presently most of them v stopped posting on nairaland bc I don't see those user names again.You need to respect other ppl to be respected&not to run them down at every occasion or conversation.thanks

I am starting to doubt your intelligence. Indeed, once again you totally missed the point. My mother and every Edo understand yoruba dialects because yoruba dialects are mere "broken Benin". Our roots are Benin and Delta (which was part of the Benin empire). yoruba whatever, stop trying to rewrite people's history, the Itsekiris and co know they are Edo.
Ile ife is not a kingdom it is a priest-dom.
The only emperor in the South is Omo n'Oba n'Edo.
Now please shove your yoruba propaganda back where it came from. We the Edos, we are not interested.

Dedetwo:
You are a typical Nigerian!! When people who seemed to have human intellect chose to be ninny, I guess it is safe to use "swear" words. I do not know the corner of Niger-Area that gave birth to you, however you should have known that Efik and Ibibio are not axis except the odd-man-out Ogoja.

Maduawuchukwu:
The restructuring people are canvassing for is totally about the devolution of powers both politically and economically; if you give a person more funds you will also give him more duties. This clamour is based on the belief that the FG has been unable to utilize and exploit the powers that it bestowed on itself (like the control of solid minerals, ports,electricity etc) due to many factors and that this failure has resulted in the economic failure of Nigeria and the rise of restiveness. For Nigeria to fully utilize her potentials, we need to give the states some of these duties and powers with the tested belief that they will perfom better due to their trimmed nature, closeness to the people and high level of homogeinity.
To test this thesis we should consider the perfomance of the FG and the states in areas of shared responsibility such as roads. While the FG is finding it difficult to perfom common maintenance of FG roads like the Apapa port road, Lagos state and other states are building new roads which promote their economic growth. We can also see this in the security sector where the FG which maintains maximum control of security has all but ceded some security duties to the state in areas such as the provision of logistical equipments like Vehicles and the states have perfomed excellently in this regard. We no more see the rickety vehicles police used to use on our roads again in the period when the FG was the only body providing vehicles.
I can go on and on, but all indices point to the fact that the Nigerian economy would be better exploited under greater state control.

Misterdhee1:
This is why your biafra will forever remain a wiild goose chase, that would only be actualized on online platforms. A renowned Doctoral degree holder of international repute, wrote a well-detailed piece, and all you could come up with as a reply is this balderdash up there. I bet if he had criticized Buhari, your arch-enemy, like FFK and Fayose do, you would have tagged him a hero, se?

Even though i support restructuring the country to solve our diversity complexities, there is still a need to hear out the cons and pros, and clearly define what form the restructuring would come. Ranting, insulting or calling names will get you neither Biafra nor Restructuring. The sooner you accept this, the better.

CrescentMoon:
The first time I became aware of me falling sick was in 2007. I was 26 at the time. Since then it has been a myriad of medical troubles.

It has been cycles of malaria, bacterial infections, disc problems and headache. Every night, I take drugs before I could be able to sleep. I always have antimalarials, antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants handy. If malaria symptoms occur, I would take antimalarials and there would be improvement within minutes. And would then complete the dosage in 3 days. By fourth day, symptoms of bacteria infection would occur; I would take ciprofloxacin and get relieved within minutes. Once I complete the dosage, headache would strike, and once aspirin is taken, I get well. But I would keep repeating aspirin every night until gastric ulceration sets in. I would then buy omeprasole and cimetidine to treat ulcer. While ulcer treatment is ongoing, malaria would strike again, and I would take antimalarials. If antimalarials don't work, I would know that the symptoms are bacterial and take antibiotic. If there is no relief, I would combine antimalarials and antibiotic and there would be a relief. It has been like this since 2007. I don't go to hospital again because I have grown to know these symptoms and what doctors would prescribe.

For the past 2 weeks, I have been battling 'herniated disc' problem in my lower back. It started the day I bent down suddenly and I heard a snapping sound at my back bone. I started using norflex, calcium supplement and diclofenac. I feel mild relief because I can't stop my daily hustle to rest while the disc heals. If I dont work in a day, I won't eat or pay bills.

Note that I undergo HIV test almost weekly.

How do the poor tackle medical problems in this hellhole of a country?

Lalasticlala, please help me move this to fp.

I was a guest on nairaland for so many years, my abode then was the culture and politics section. But later i noticed some monikers were no more contributing.. I didn't quite understand until recently when laudate addressed the issue, he said many complained about the mods not being fair.

The thread that was deleted was so important that i had to call the attention of my friends that were not on nairaland to it... For God's sake that was a thread were people contributed intelligently without insulting minority tribes.. Infact we had meaningful contributions from people from other tribes. People like Efewestern and yungmilli contributed, and for once i was able to understand the itsekiri's angle to an oduduwa nation..

What's nairaland's priority? Do you want threads were people will contribute and parents will tell their children to visit the thread and learn more about their region, tribe? Or you want threads were we keep insulting the hell out of each other?

Today, Many people are tribalists on nairaland not because they wanted to but because the mods didn't do their job in the first place. There was no level playing ground, this disgusted me a lot, Of course many of us couldn't have sat down and allow some mor.ns insult the hell out of our tribe in which many of us hold dearly.

This is the Internet, if we keep replying hatred with love, war with peace, insults with moral talks, many years from now, our children will be left ashamed of their fathers and mothers when they later come across threads were igbos were abusing their tribes or telling lies and their fathers couldn't refute anything. . .Our fathers instilled cultural and ethnic pride in us but it's a pity that today Many yorubas don't have pride, our fathers dream was for an independent country and not the one Nigeria nonsense people like sarrki preach all about.. Our fathers wanted development and unity of the yoruba race... You are first a yoruba man before being a Nigerian.

Seun needs to redefine the vision and mission of nairaland.. if you want a nairaland where numerous threads about Nnamdi kanu forming Slay Queen upandan are gracing the front page or threads were people of thoughts discuss the future of their tribe and development.

Do you want a nairaland where we continue shouting Igbo and afonja without making meaningful contributions?

Do you want a nairaland where half of all topics on the politics section is about Biafra, igbos whereas topics that tends to form ethnic consciousness devoid of hatred are being deleted?

Do you want threads of people that ought to be in the shadows but trending on nairaland over gucci?

. stop peddling false info here who are this "many people" that were jailed and executed?

when tinubu was facing challenges with the Fulani Mafia, didn't you see FFK and Fayose and every other Yoruba who has been against Tinubu and his APC all rally behind him to show support despite not buying into his ideologies? these are people who have been insulting each other rallying around Tinubu just because he is Yoruba. but you who claim to be igbo would rather throw your own people under the bus just to please the people whose only understanding of the term one Nigeria is unrestricted access to oil and power. smh.

and where did you see the ipob threatening and insulting people? is it the ipob that are threatening the Igbos with war and bloodshed? is it the ipob that gave the Igbos in the North a quit notice? or is it the ipob that label all the Igbos Igbos, OSU and Igbos?
when NK was addressing some Northerners during one of his many court appearance did you see him insult them?

it doesn't matter if you agree to what I am saying or not, fact is fact.
I really laugh at you people sha... I really do. you can keep talking bad about the ipob people all to the delight of those people, but when the chips are down everyone will answer his/her Papa name. You can ask the Azikiwes, the Ironsis the saro wiwas how far.

I'm not ipob but I never talk ill of them because they're Igbos. I mind you, at least more than 90%of Igbos want to go there way.

AmuDimpka:
•.It is important to note that the people of the South West were not over-excited about the re-emergence of Obasanjo. As a matter of fact, they became his most ardent opponents. In anger, Obasanjo turned his war against Yoruba leaders like Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Lagos State was deprived of its statutory allocations, even after the Supreme Court ruled in its favour. Interestingly, the current Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, was the Lagos State Attorney General that fought spiritedly against the Federal Government at the time. The lesson I wish to draw from this is that, sometimes, it is better, and safer, to fight a battle of wits than a duel of brawn. The use of force can never guarantee a meaningful victorious end. https://etimes.com.ng/exactly-restructuring-dele-momodu/
