This is the only thing they know, when I saw the in vanguardngr.com, I lost interest in the whole thing. Their only interest is to remove egbema from imo and put in another region. This people are beyond weak. Very smart people have already seen the Achilles hills behind the whole thing

heysquare:
The same tribe they tagged as parasite doing what they can't do. Yoruba always take the lead and show them how to fight for national cake.

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?

Emetex22:
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

godwinngbede:
says who? Both the off shore and onshore revenues belong to the Niger Delta. You can argue that if you want. Every region must control its resources. Anything short of that is not regionalism

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.

Mrexcell:
See how the yoruba man cunningly extracted some igbo communities in imo to add to another region he didn't even consider adding igbo speaking communities in the south south to the south east but added yoruba and sub yoruba communities in the south south and north central to the south west region in his first proposal. This is exactly what they have been wishing in their posts in this forum.

Bulldozer90:
the proponent of the bill is simply an anarchist. Using a bill to exhibit petty covetousness. Imagine forcefully carving some people and giving some chance to go whear they want, while using language as a criteria for southwest. If I were a Yoruba, I would have started condemning this. This bill will widely promote mistrust and suspicion against Yorubas from other Nigerians. He even put Itshekiri in the southwest. The same warri where the three warring ethnic groups have scattered settlement.

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.

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

Moshphil:
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.

bixton:
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.

Topsido:
South East should be merged with Middle Belt with headquarters in Jos .

Chigozie321:
Tinubu will turn to legend if this sails through. All his imperfections will be forgotten in a giffy.

Mccullum:
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.

If YOU had read the article with an open mind, and without emotions, you would have seen where it was stated that it's just a DRAFT subject to "additions and subtractions." It's NOT a final document. The whole thing might even be rejected!

Even the man's CLEAR reference in the draft to the Itsekiris and the Yoruba-speaking parts of Edo would be subject to their choice [NOT an imposition]. So, it is left for other ethnicities to unanimously make their own representations to be grouped together based on their own choices just like the man who did the draft said the Itsekiris would do. During the GEJ 2014 National Conference, the Itsekiris and Yoruba-speaking areas of Kwara and Kogi States decided they wanted to be with their kith and kin in the West of Nigeria. The Ijebu-Yorubas and Ilaje-Yorubas of Ogun State and Ondo State are directly related to many Itsekiri communities because it was from those Ijebu and Ilaje communities that many Itsekiris of today ancestrally descended from over 600 years ago. The language dialect that Itsekiris of Delta State speak is understandable to many Ijebus, Ilajes, and Ikale subgroups of the larger Yoruba people historically. The oil and gas-rich Ilajeland in Ondo State and the oil and gas-rich Itsekiriland share direct boundaries as cousins. Every year when the Yoruba intelligentsia and all Obas have their usual big meetings of Yoruba descendants, the past Olus of Warri usually send some of their High Chiefs such as High Chief Ayomike and others to attend and this also includes the attendance by Oba's of Yoruba towns and cities such as Porto Novo (Ajase), Ketu kingdom, etc, in Benin Republic and Togo Republic.

After reading a couple of pages on this thread, I noticed that some Ibos were also quoting you and blindly following your incorrect assumptions here and then started passing highly irresponsible insults at the man who made the supposed draft and Yoruba folks in general which to me amounts to emotional weakness... Is English comprehension such a difficult thing for some of you people of Eastern Nigeria Ibo descent?

There's no excuse for that eveil, it was intentional from the sad waste, ,let's see how far you will go with this mind set, your end is coming soon

Tetraozonaitera:
Keep crying.
The sad waste that is your CANADA UK
and AMERICA.
OBODO LAGOS.

HATRED and Love Of Money (Find it anyhow)
Are generational sicknesses you all inherited from your parents.
Yorubaland is the Safest Haven for all of you. And when you first arrive we know how uncultured you behave.

For Life you will all be behind the Yorubas.

Ttipsy:
The big question now is will Anioma, Ikwerre, and other igbos in other states like to rejoin their Eastern brothers ?

Can they accept it the way yorubas in Kogi and kwara will accept going back to south west ?

The man is supposed to have consulted the people before he just wrote his illusionary ideas. Why go ahead to take decisions for them without their approval?

Bulldozer90:
you are being smart by half. There is no need to give proposal of the regions. You are not the military. Moreso having a member of an ethnic organisation of Yorubas speaking for all Nigerians. Pass a bill in the Nass to give legal backing to the restructuring and then begin constitutional conferences of ethnic and religious representatives, which can last more than a year. Only a fool wakes up one morning and starts balkanizing ethnic groups like Berlin conference in the name of a "proposal"

Dey play
