Very possible.

It is a government subsidized unity school system, not a merit based system.

Let Anambra fill up its allotted quota with 139, while Yobe fills up its own allotted quota too with 2. No state will deprive the other of its own quota.

Very fair and just where merit is not the primary consideration but the intended unity for which such schools were established.

yoruba, man.... If Nigeria doesn't move forward with buhari after 4 years, we kick him out... As simple as dat... Tinubu doesn't decide for us.... He has kept his reputation high among yorubas cos he is thinking forward 1st, n den benefits later

::-- Jonathan called Yoruba elders rascals. Would you have encouraged your kinsmen to vote for such a person if it was your tribe?. Through out his six years of mismanagement, he only engaged a Yoruba man as Accountant General of the Federation(Mr. Ola). The Yorubas never made any noise about lopsided appointment that favoured Ndigbo, why the wailing? Yorubas know how to politick more than us, and i respect their political acumen. Remember, stealing is now corruption. You can as well "tag me" a slave to hausa/fulani. Thanks.

[b]They're already regretting. Most of the vocal ones I know have suddenly become docile. Shame nor let some talk. They put up lame defence like "as long as Buhari performs".. .

While the South is waiting for performance and change as they say, the North has already gotten their change and they're consolidating on it, securing their future and political grip on the country.

Sad but true, Tinubu might just have sold the Yorubas to slavery. How long it will last is what's not known yet. What was he bloody expecting aligning with Buhari?

If Tinubu is as astute as some imply, he would have brought out Fashola or someone else and sell his candidate. Not standing behind an already known Nothern figure and act as a war chest. Now I really believe Yinka Odumakin who aptly described Tinubu as one who plays Ludo in Lagos and couldn't understand the Chess game played in Abuja.

Even CBN governor and NNPC GMD are headed by Delta Igbos. As it's turning out to be I'm sure at the end of the day the political juggernauts from the South West will discover Jonathan was a better deal!

First you mistakenly fired a bullet and it ended up killing a MASSOB guy, secondly stray bullets fired sporadically into the air hit 2 other MASSOB guys and left some injured. Which kind coincidence be this one?? Even from the study of projectile motion this story is found to be fake. The shooting was intentional. You mistakenly shoot and mistakenly kill the same people Na so

N.B: The essence of this information is mainly to expose the lies of the notorious history distortionists and wicked propagandists who insult and malign others continually with lies and falsehood, and shout and make much noise on every available media. This a tribe that is after all well known for being loose cannons. Uncouth, uncivilised and disrespectful set of people who made a career out of abuse and slurs.
The same treacheerous beings who precipitated the January 1966 coup and the 1967-70 civil war with their bloody 'Operation Wetie ' in the SW. They start trouble and heat up the polity only to run cowardly to hide in their evil Soka forest when the jungle matures.

Disciple of hate and propaganda, here are the members of Yoruba tribe that participated in the January 1966 coup:
(See Ben Gbulie: ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors.’).

*Adewale Ademoyega is the most prominent Yoruba participant in the coup, there were other Yoruba officers who were involved at the dangerous execution stage of the coup. One of them is:

*Second Lieutenant Olafimihan, an officer serving under Madiebo in Kaduna. He was sent by the plotters to gauge his commander’s loyalty. (See Madiebo pp.17-18).

*Another is Lieutenant (some books refer to him as a Captain) Fola Oyewole. He, like Ademoyega, went on to fight for Biafra and wrote a book on his coup and wartime experiences. The book’s title is ‘Reluctant Rebel.’

*There is also Captain Ganiyu Adeleke who became an instructor in the Biafran Infantry School. For confirmation, see the list of coup plotters detained by Ironsi’s regime in Ademoyega pp.106-108, and this quote from Nowa Omoigui’s online account: ‘Mid-Western Invasion of 1967’: ‘Captain Ganiyu Adeleke, who had taken part in both the January 15 coup and the Mid-Western invasion before becoming an instructor in the Biafran School of Infantry was released at a later date after his co-plotters had been freed.’ Omoigui’s work is significant because, though he exhibits a high level of professionalism in his research, he has no sympathy for the January 15 coup. If his facts corroborate Ademoyega’s they are worthy of attention.

"Operation Wetie" in Yoruba means wet a human being and his/her properties with petrol and set them ablaze.

Lagos (in South West) was the capital of Nigeria from 1914 up to 1991, until Abuja officially became Nigeria's capital on 12 December 1991. It was on 14 November 1991, the Presidency and other federal government functions were finally relocated to the new capital city of Abuja.

YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA - By Sanusi Lamido 
In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.
   * The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics;
    * Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and
    * The Yoruba Factor and "Area-boy" Politics.
My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was " Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors" published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled " The Igbo, the Yoruba and History" (Aug. 21, 1998)...

REMI FANI KAYODE, AKINTOLA, AWOLOWO, WESTERN REGION AND THE CRISIS THAT TRUNCATED THE FIRST REPUBLIC

These captains of the “tribalism industry” have good incentives to always omit the causes of the January 1966 coup preferring instead to dwell only on the coup itself. The reason  is simple;  It was  in their own  Western region  then known as the “wild wild west”  that  election rigging, thuggery, violence, arson, mass murders and other  forms of corruption and acts of lawlessness that occasioned the January 1966 coup  took place as pioneering acts in Nigeria.

Soon after Nigeria got independence the Western region was in turmoil. Premier Ladoke Akintola and Chief Obafemi  Awolowo became embroiled in a protracted crisis. By 1962 the crisis led to sustained violence and acts of lawlessness with law makers engaged in vicious physical combats in the Western regional parliament. Amongst serious injuries and other damages, the mace of office was broken.  The federal government intervened to curb the lawlessness and violence by imposing a state of emergency and appointing Dr Moses Majekodunmi as interim premier of the Western region on the 29th of June 1962. This became the first imposition of a state of emergency in Nigeria’s history due to heightened levels of lawlessness. Following an alliance between Akintola and Ahmadu Bello, Ladoke Akintola was returned to power on the 31st of December 1962 in spite of protests by Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe who requested fresh elections rather than reinstating Ladoke Akintola.

By 1963, the plot between Akintola, Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello was perfected and Chief Obafemi Awolowo was arrested for coup plotting/ treason. His trial commenced in earnest and he was alongside some accomplices convicted for treason and jailed for 10 years. This again was the first alleged coup plotting and conviction in Nigerian history. Intent on totally decimating Chief Awolowo, Ladoke Akintola together with vice premier Remi Fani Kayode went into a political alliance with Prime minister Tafawa Balewa and new political party known as the Nigerian National Alliance (NNA) was formed.  By this time Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe had realised the folly of entering a coalition with Tafawa Balewa’s government   and teamed up with incarcerated Chief Awolowo’s Action group to form the all progressive grand alliance (UPGA).  

In 1964, federal elections became due. As usual ethnic chauvinism, intimidation and violence was part of the frenzied campaigning. Remi Kayode and Akintola’s campaign was as usual almost entirely based on tribalism. When the elections were finally held, it was massively rigged in the Western region. Indeed deputy premier Remi Fani Kayode had famously boasted that “there is nothing they can do, whether they vote us or not, we will win.” This statement turned out to be true as massive rigging was orchestrated in the elections.  Once again this became the first pioneering act of election rigging by indigenous actors in Nigeria’s history. The announcement of the rigged election results quickly sparked off unprecedented acts of thuggery, violence, arson, mass murders and general acts of lawlessness in the Western region.

Daily mass murders and arson became routine in the Western region (wetie). This violence and lawlessness in the Western region was to continue from 1964 until 1966 when the military lost patience and finally struck.

The Western region was thus a region in crisis from the onset of post-colonial rule. By the time of the military coup, Chief Obafemi Awolowo himself was incarcerated for treason and the region was practically on an uncontrollable violence and trajectory of self destruction for almost two years from 1964 to 1966. At the same time that the Western region was aflame the Eastern region was calm and democratic. Unlike the Western region there were no cases of election rigging, thuggery or other such acts of lawlessness in the East. In the North there was sporadic violence in the TIV division which was put down by the military.

Of all the regions, the western region was torn the most by crisis and acts of lawlessness which eventually occasioned the coup. If the leadership of the Western region had played by the rules and avoided the infighting, the election rigging, the thuggery, the  planning of a coup in 1963, the  arson, the mass murders and other  such corrupt acts and vices  many of which were being  introduced for the first time  in Nigeria  and which incidentally continues to haunt the nation to date, there would have been no coup and Nigeria would no doubt have immensely benefited from  a  functional democracy  devoid of election rigging, thuggery and violence as it obtains  in many progressive nations around the world.

The leadership of the Western region in conspiracy with Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello are singularly responsible for the events and crisis that truncated the first republic and ruined the nation.

Those who carried out the coup choose to act out of genuine anger and frustration at the carnage in the Western region.  Whatever the demerits of the coup, It is obvious the coupists had nothing to gain other than the patriotic urge to end the corruption and lawlessness that had taken hold of the nation particularly the Western region.

Yorubas created the crisis that occasioned the coup and whose region the coup saved from self destruction are  some of the biggest ungrateful noisemakers  who peddle  the propaganda  of  colouring  an anti corruption revolutionary coup with patriotic ideals  very similar to that of  Flt Lt  Jerry Rawlings  in a tribal garb. In Ghana, Jerry Rawlings led a coup that eliminated three former heads of state, top military officers and top members of the judiciary. Not one of those killed was from Jerry Rawlings Ewe tribe, but Ghanaians didn’t spew tribalism into the coup and Ghana is better for it. With too many vultures and opportunists...preying on tribalism in Nigeria the story was bound to be different and thus a coup driven out of patriotism and obvious anger at the state of affairs was reconstructed as an Igbo coup and the worms were let out from the woodwork.

JANUARY 1966 COUP

Adewale Ademoyega, a full blooded Yoruba army officer, was deeply involved in the planning and execution of the January coup. His book ‘Why We Struck’ gives insight into the coup’s antecedents; planning; modus operandi and partial success. Any study of January 15 that ignores Ademoyega’s book is incomplete.

In a September 5 2010 interview with ‘The Nation’ newspaper, Matthew Mbu, then a Junior Defence Minister, narrated how, at an Air Force base in Kaduna on an official assignment on 5 January 1966, he was bluntly told by Brigadier Samuel Ademulegun that the military was going to sack the government. Ademulegun made no bones about their plan to shoot key members of the political class, notably Chief Okotie-Eboh, the Minister for Finance.

... the killing of Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Unegbe is attributed to his possession and non-surrender of the Lagos armoury keys to the plotters.
As professional soldiers the plotters knew this. Going by the accounts of Ademoyega and Gbulie who wrote ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors,’ what the plotters desperately needed were armoured vehicles to consolidate their gains in Lagos on January 15.

In page 60 of his book, Ademoyega mentioned Unegbe as one of the officers he and his colleagues had marked down for arrest.

Northern officers and men were involved, especially at the execution stage. Max Silloun, the military historian, mentions them in his landmark online article ‘The inside story of Nigeria’s first military coup Parts 1 and 2.’ It can be accessed from most search engines. Prominent among these Northern officers was the then Lieutenant John Atom Kpera who later became the Benue State governor in the Babangida regime. Kpera participated in the coup under Captain Ben Gbulie, Nzeogwu’s right hand-man in Kaduna. (See Ben Gbulie: ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors.’).

Although Adewale Ademoyega is the most prominent Yoruba participant in the coup, there were other Yoruba officers who were involved at the dangerous execution stage of the coup. One of them is Second Lieutenant Olafimihan, an officer serving under Madiebo in Kaduna. He was sent by the plotters to gauge his commander’s loyalty. (See Madiebo pp.17-18). Another is Lieutenant (some books refer to him as a Captain) Fola Oyewole. He, like Ademoyega, went on to fight for Biafra and wrote a book on his coup and wartime experiences. The book’s title is ‘Reluctant Rebel.’ There is also Captain Ganiyu Adeleke who became an instructor in the Biafran Infantry School. For confirmation, see the list of coup plotters detained by Ironsi’s regime in Ademoyega pp.106-108, and this quote from Nowa Omoigui’s online account: ‘Mid-Western Invasion of 1967’: ‘Captain Ganiyu Adeleke, who had taken part in both the January 15 coup and the Mid-Western invasion before becoming an instructor in the Biafran School of Infantry was released at a later date after his co-plotters had been freed.’ Omoigui’s work is significant because, though he exhibits a high level of professionalism in his research, he has no sympathy for the January 15 coup. If his facts corroborate Ademoyega’s they are worthy of attention.

hedonistic:
This is a very idiotic point of view. In a multi ethnic political environment like Nigeria in which distrust and delicate relations exists between the numerous ethnicities that make up the country, it is incredibly daft for people like you to not "give a damn" when other sections of the country are marginalised in terms of representation in government.

The framers of the constitution, in their wisdom, understood the ethnic diversity of Nigeria, hence the need for federal character. You cannot say that merit can only be found in one part of the country.

Aareonakakanfo:
My purpose of writing this is because i noticed some of my yoruba brothers don't really know much about their environment and how hugely blessed it is but i feel with the little knowledge i have i can share some of it . I’m also writing this to perform a total knockout on the myth that yorubaland cannot survive without the oil from the niger delta if left alone which irks me a lot because in my opinion i feel we yorubas will be the biggest beneficiaries of autonomy or at worse the break-up of the country.the realities on ground prove this.i owe no one apologies when i say i'm yoruba first before i'm Nigerian because i believe the unitary system has failed us as a people and is currently killing our potentials so i'm not really pro One nigeria per se even though i know a lot of my brothers are not with me on this. before the Collapse of the regional system of government in Nigeria. Yorubaland was seen as a model for every other part of the country and its successes till date is still unmatched. that was the golden era of the yorubas.the context of this write up though is yorubaland but i also recognized the status of Nigeria as a federal republic while also recognizing its imperfections hence the exclusion of parts of kogi state and kwara state. before i go further below is just some of the achievements of the old western region before the oil boom era


-The first TV station in Africa- WNTV ahead of many European countries including france
-The first university teaching hospital in West Africa-UCH
-The first sky scraper in Africa- Cocoa house ibadan
-The first stadium in West Africa -The liberty stadium ibadan which was relied upon by the whole country for more than three decades
-The first hotel in Nigeria – The premier hotel ibadan
-The first hospital in Nigeria- Sacred heart Abeokuta
-The first industrial estates- Oluyole an ilupeju Industrial estate
-First to implement free primary education and free health care programmes and implemented the first minimum-wage policy by a Nigerian government at any level
-Built the best network of roads which was emulated by Ahmadu Bello
-the first Newspaper Iwe irohin as far back as 1949
-During that period the western region government paid its workers higher wages than any other region in Nigeria and as such attracted a lot of foreigners from ghana,,benin republic and togo. mass migration form other parts of the country both from the eastern region and northern region

The bottom line is the southwest was far ahead of its time in africa during that period. All of these achieved entirely with the proceeds from cocoa,rubber and timber before the oil boom. we've done it before and we can do it again. i can confidently say all of these achievements will be child play if we're left to develop at our own pace

Finally i did an X-ray of every thing needed to have a stable economy and i was unable to find anything we lack

Below is just a summary of the resources and potentials of yorubaland if regional autonomy is granted or at worst if the country finally splits


OYO STATE
-Oyo state is hugely blessed with gemstones. it has the most gemstones after nassarawa and plateau states .sapphires in itesiwaju,iwajowa,ibarapa,atisbo,oluyole. aquamarines in oluyole, saki west, ona ara, spessarites and paraiba tourmalines in atisbo,egbeda, ibarapa.oluyole,saki and several locations of the state. all of these in huge quantities. these are some of the most valuable gemstones one can ever think of but unfortunately being mined by foreigners

LAGOS STATE
i found it difficult to enumerate the potentials of the state due to its cosmopolitan nature. but i wouldn't mind my brothers here listing out its resources and potentials if regional autonomy is granted and its population of non-Yorubas reduces drastically



EKO ATLANTIC CITY
BADAGRY DOCKYARD
OLOKOLA FREE TRADE ZONE
LEKKI FREE TRADE ZONE
APAPA SEA PORT,TIN CAN ISLAND
LAGOS AIRPORT



-Yoruba land is hugely blessed with what i refer to as intellectual and administrative resources and its home to a lot of great,successful and intelligent people,it has never lacked progressive-minded and vissionary individuals from the awolowo,jakande days to the current ones like fashola and adesina

-Its also blessed with a huge youthful population

-With the rate at which everything is moving towards technology. yorubas are showing promises in this field as evident in OAU so we definitely won't lack in that sector

this is yoruba's biggest problem, they criticise everything. A list that's compiled somewhere else and u r here talking of billionaires in yorubaland. Just like someone pointed out, 100 igbos-3 billionaires,30 millionaires,57 well to dos,10 poor. 100 yorubas- 4 billionaires,10 millionaires,20 well to dos, 66 poor. Now which one is better off.

hear your silly self.. You guys were even given 20pounds to start from somewhere and the other regions that were also affected by the war got nothing. Did you hear any one of them complaining? The war in one way or another also affected odualand but nobody gave us a single penny. And in todays nigeria, we are the most progressive nigerians, the most developed nigerians, the most educated nigerians, the most industrious nigerians, the most accomodating nigerians, the most sophisticated ethnic group in africa.....

So my friend google has lost touch of reality

mcvaeey:
I'm not an igbo hater as many people assume. But let the truth be told today, igbos only want south south due to economic gains and nothing else. The South south region is the geopolitical zone in Nigeria and if each south south state where to be a country of its own, it would be one of the richest countries in Africa. Besides Lagos, no other state in Nigeria is richer than any south south state. They all have crude oil in commercial quantities and also access to international waters.

This is the main reason why the igbos are trying to cajole them into demonic union. They igbos always say that south south is not a tribe but an evil manipulation of the north. They say the northerners created the south south in order to divide and rule and call the yorubas all manners of names. The question I want to ask the igbos today are;

Are the people of south south complaining?

Have the people asked them to champion their cause in any way?

Why are they crying more than the bereaved over Gej's loss?

The igbos don't mean well for us. They only want our resources and want to marginalise us. Can a non igbo person hold a position in igboland? Can a non igbo person be sold land to in any part of igboland?

Why then does any sane person think that igbos have genuine intention for us?

Let's assume that biafra is achieved today and the south south joins them in biafra, what will be their contribution to the economy of biafra? What will they bring to the table?

The answer is nothing and the only thing they'll bring to the table is their population. Our history would be wiped out in 10 years if we join them cos they'll igbonise all of us.

An average igbo man is greedy, deceitful and can never be trusted.

BeeBeeOoh:
I've accepted that fact & i've moved on. So, E NO DEY BOARDER ME AGAIN..

The winer of the 2014/2015 season of the Globacom-sponsored Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) will pocket a whopping N80m after proceedings have been concluded on the final day of the league, the chairman of the League Management Company (LMC), Mallam Shehu Dikko, has revealed.

Dikko, who made the disclosure while speaking as a guest on yesterday’s edition of the African Independent Television’s morning show, Kakaaki, said: “The club that wins the league this season will earn as much as N80m in revenue share, merit award, bonuses and kind and even the relegated club will earn a minimum of N55m. There are incentives for away wins, draws, attracting crowds to the games and we also provide official match balls to the teams including kit bags for the players. More importantly, we are seeking pool sponsorship for all 20 clubs so their finances will improve and consequently, the welfare of players as well as drive the commercialisation of the clubs so as to make them attractive to investors”

Also, Dikko disclosed that it was high time the government partakes in developing the stadia for the league, because after years of support and financial backing from the private sector, the LMC said it would love the government to participate more and help the game of football in the country grow in leaps and bounds.

“Since the LMC came aboard, our funding has been sourced from commercial partnerships as is the practice globally. Though we appreciate the companies that have bought rights from us, we are still not where we should be financially. This explains our recent visit with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to the Nigeria Stock Exchange,” he disclosed.

Also, he made a case for the game in the nation, citing successful examples around the world.

“In the 1990’s, the government of Margareth Thatcher in the UK provided over £200m for the upgrading of stadia facilities across England and that contributed critically to what we have today as the best League in the world. More so, today, the UK Government is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the EPL, generating billions of pounds in taxes, football tourism, jobs and other socio-economic activities that are hinged on the EPL in the UK. We also would seek government’s intervention in this direction. We are not asking for funds to be handed to anyone but for government to directly fund the upgrade of existing grounds and provision of required broadcast equipment and facilities in the stadia,” he posited.
