Yoruba man and sense.

You proposed that Yoruba speaking part of Kwara and Kogi, and even some part of Delta and Edo state be merged with south west to form Western region.

But in the case of south east, you didn't propose that the Igbo speaking part of Rivers, Delta, Benue, Kogi, Cross River, etc be merged together to form South Eastern region, rather to show your true colour of hatred, you are proposing that the Ohaji/Egbema region, one of the oil producing LGAs in southern imo state be removed from South East to form part of Southern/Niger Delta region. Is it not shameless daylight witchcraft?

The man na criminal

tarboshi:
"....incorporating the Yoruba-speaking people in Kogi and the Igbomina people in Kwara State. Additional options would be the Itsekiri people of Delta State and Akoko-Edo people of Edo State to make their respective choices.” Is it supposed to be a tribal region or a geographical region?

A mix of both.

Okechinwadike:
that's a good one from tinubu, though Yorubas are like a chameleon, neither red nor black.

That is your opinion

Fashypearl:
I saw that too. Very stupid set of people.

How can you call an entire tribe - stupid. You have bad manners and training

Dreambeat:
I think he is being mischievous, same old trick to water down Igbo unity and majority

Who dash igbo majority?

As long as e no go benefit dem, it won't scale through

Baba T, abeg do this one for us.

Nigeria must be Great again.

If Tinubu approves this bill, regions will have their own constitutions and powers. This will make the South-East region to break away to form the Republic of Biafra, South-West region will break away to form Oduduwa republic, North-East and North-West regions will break away to form the Arewa republic, only Mid-Western and South-South regions will remain to form Nigeria. Civil war may break out again.

You have said it all, the kids just dey argue like they don't live in this country.
I just dey laugh

pandax:
Yoruba is proposing to annex their kith and kin in Kwara and Kogi + Akoko Edo in Edo and itshekri in Delta; but proposing for Anioma to join Midwest and Ohaji/Egbema in so called Southern IMO to join Southern region.

Please, why jump Rivers to merge Bayelsa with AkwaCross?

It is either Fapohunda is mischievous or do not understand the make up/geography of SS/SE and thus his proposed Southern Region,Midwest and South East regions. 1886 Berlin Conference at play!

The only issue I have with the proposal is the request to join Itsekiri in Delta to South West region.

I think it is not feasible or necessary especially die to geographical location.

I think the proposal that Yoruba speaking people of Edo,Kogi and Kwara to join the South Western region is in order however subject to the decision of the people of those Yoruba speaking areas to decide.

Thought you guys can survive without oil na, why are you pained bro. I thought you said other tribe will suffer, You don't have to depend on oil to survive .
selling of pure water in traffic will improve your region economy.

Dreambeat:
Is there going to be a referendum to determine which region they prefer, of course like you wrote bearing in mind the geographical location of the region they want to belong which has to be in close proximity to theirs

I believe every state has representatives in the National Assembly. The bill will be passed to the National Assembly and perhaps the state house of assemblies for deliberation.

Everyone who wish to make an input on it can join the discourse at the assemblies.

ILoveNG:
My concern is why are our eastern brothers afraid of regional government?

Only Owerri senatorial district in Imo state will resist regional government. The zone has gotten exceptionally rich through having every government establishments in the state located in the zone. Nothing left for the Orlu and Okigwe zones to develop with.

Tflex01:
As a governor Tinubu gave more power to the Local Government and even created more (LCDA) because he believed that is the way governance can easily get to the people although this caused a big fight between him and Obasanjo then.

With Tinubu's antecedents, I won't be surprised if he swiftly assent to the bill that will return Nigeria to regional Government but that's going to offend the Northerners a lot.

you lie there, he didnt give any power to any LCDA

mrrandomguy:
Just break up the country.

But I hope this bill, if passed, will stop the influx of Southeasterners into Yorubaland through night buses.

They say this video is old, but it is still going on even as I type.

We fought with our blood to leave this fake evil cursed union, but you ran to Britain and Russia for help, we will continue to troop into SW and surrounding, buy your ancestral burial ground from gala money, send your fathers back Ogbomosho and bring more people on night bus, is it not one Naijeria, we are winning without firing guns, right in your face

Wallade:
Who dash igbo majority?

So Igbo no be major ethnic group for Nigeria? Abi na the English wey I write you no understand?

1. I read through the proposal and if it is true that is what is written there, I am disappointed. Mr Fapohunda could not even hide his narrow ethnocentrism for once. He found it convenient to merge the Yorubas into one unit by carving some parts of North central states into his proposed Western region while leaving option for some South South ethnic groups to join the West based on historical links but retained the abysmal five Eastern states for the proposed Eastern region. Ditto the rest of the North Central an South South. He failed to recognise the diversity of ethnicity in those belts but simply lumped them together. In short, it is easy to see that the draft serves a narrow ethnic interest and is not nationalistic.

2. I don't understand the folks who are rejoicing at this. The news says Tinubu will receive the bill from the busybody today. It is insignificant. Tinubu cannot sign it into law. The best he can do is to present it as an executive bill to the constiution amendment committee at NASS. Will he do that? Nay!! His so-called mandate is a northern mandate. He got 67% of his votes from the North and we know that anything restructuring is viewed with suspicion by the North. So for anyone to go into infantile rejoicing based on a draft is simply childish. The draft will probably be used to wrap groundnut in Gbaja's office.

3. To all those who really think a return to regionalism will solve our problems. May I ask this simple question. Will the system be run by this present set of political bandits or a different breed? If the answer is this present set then sorry. You just got played!!

Abeg, who got confirmed CRYPTO AIRDROP apart from the ones already popular, make hunger no finish me na people wey get energy dey argue for something wey no go happen in the next 50 years.

Yorubastardz:
Regional government won't work for our Ewedu Guzzling Brothers Osun Ogun Ondo

Igbo want Biafra, Igbo want to be president, Igbo want regional system of govt


Tinubu received the draft bill to regional govt you people are still sad han han, you Igbo need to do a town hall meeting and talk to yourselves. What exactly do you guys actually want?

Dreambeat:
So Igbo no be major ethnic group for Nigeria?

Now you are talking sense.

The Igbo tribe is a major tribe in Nigeria, I agree with you.

But I don't agree that the Igbo tribe is the majority tribe.

English language my dear friend. The majority tribe in Nigeria is Hausa.

Yoruba doesn't discriminate themselves, the Igbo in those states you mentioned won't agree to go back to South East region. Those in Benue may accept rejoining Easterners. That's is the issue on Igbos.

Nonny95:
I thought the National Assembly denied such bill?

Lmao.

I hope you all can see that APC and leadership are two parallel lines.

Party of lies and more lies to cover first lie.

The division is gross. How can you group Benue with Adamawa? The good idea is to separate the fulani from ordinary people

Northerners wont sign such lol

I'm sure down along the writeup, he made mention of optional and what deems fit for people in those areas, where they would want to belong to.
Nevertheless, it's only a proposal a d nothing more. The ibo speaking people in some(all) of the Southern States will not want to join the core Eastern States, so let's not fret about it.

Anyways it's a good start but to be able to achieve that a confab will have to be formed. But we don't need such now.
It would be easier and better if all the States be completely and fully autonomous with them having full control of their resources or 90% control of their resources. There should be creation of more LGA and RCDA depending on each State's peculiarity.
Whatever pattern we take there should be utmost decentralization of power. States who share the same ideologies though tribe and tongues may differ can come together to grow their economy by putting their collective resources together and sharing of resultant IGR.

Felabrity:
This druglord really want this regional government

The werey want rule forever

what do you mean by rule for ever, with regional government your region can be better

Dem never know, it is the same corrupt governors,senators and politicians that will run it through the same corrupt ways, I will tell you the truth in the next 50years,this bill is still pending.
All these things dey happen because economy no dey good,no be this I wan hear now.
I want to hear that dollar have dropped to 100Naira, Boko Haram have surrendered their arms and embrace peace,same with others(make I no mention before Dem go tear me ). Nigeria police have vowed to be like japanese police, super Eagles have automatically qualified for world cup, unemployment rates have reduced, kidnappings,yahoo boys,drugs,human trafficking have all been tackled and lastly, Fgovernor is the president of Nigeria
I want to hear good news not new national anthem,proposal for regional government, prospal for creation of new states.
Please, Nigerians give me good news for once please.

ILoveNG:

Shut up!


Who is afraid of regional Government?

I'm an Easterner and I support this hundred percent.

I see this as a motivator for Easterners to begin to heavily invest in the east.

I wish they become even mistreated in other regions so they can stop being foolish and think home.

My investments are in the east and I'm proud of my home.

What's your age? Ask your ancestors how Awolowo transformed this region and left your papa behind.

Stop embarrassing your school online. It’s called a proposal. Let’s see yours. Any dummy can easily criticize anything. But let’s see alternatives, not just opening your bucal cavity anyhow. Animals can do that too.

The proposal is hand of Esau, but voice of Jacob, unfortunately for Fapohunda, we are not blind like Isaac
