Yakubu gowon introduced Resource control not Ironsis unitary system
Ironsi was from south south you to ask yourself will a region that will have oil thats x10 of cocoa and groundnut pass a law where its own resources becomes for all?

listen I am not a pro ibo somebody but the truth is that we have a common enemy


Colonial Era
Northern control of resources:
The Northern regional government was in control of the natural resources in the region. Motivated by
this right of control, Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Premier of Northern Nigeria, set up Groundnut marketing Board
through which he utilized all the accruing revenue from the export of groundnut to United Kingdom. The
revenue was used in the development of the Northern region. The then regional government built the Ahmadu
Bellow University, the Bank of the North among other things.(Nnoli, 1978:181)
Eastern Control Of Resources:
The palm produce Marketing Board empowered Dr. Michael Okpara’s government in the Eastern
region as it had control of the revenue accruing from the export of palm produce to the United Kingdom. The
funding of African continental Bank and University of Nigeria Nsukka among others therefore was easy. (Nnoli,
1978:185)
Western Control of Resources:
In the Western region, within the colonial era, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, set up cocoa Marketing Board
and utilized the accruing revenue from cocoa export to United Kingdom in setting up the first television network
in the country and in funding a free primary education policy in the Western Region (Nnoli, 1978:183)
Post-Colonial Era:
In the post colonia era, resource control is consolidated in the hands of the Federal Government of
Nigeria. The pre-requisite to this situation is the petroleum Decree of 1969 passed during the regime of General
Gowon, which gave the right to the federal government to monopolize the control of oil and gas. Given this
scenario, the regions (states) from where oil was being exploited had to depend on the Federal Government for
allocation of resources. And, to consolidate the Federal Government gain, General Obasanjo’s regime in 1978
passed the land use Decree which declared the Federal Government the owner of all lands within the
geographical entity called Nigeria

So an igbo man introduced Unitary system
A northerner introduced a system where all resources were FG
And an OMO Odua reenforced it very sad

johnserek:
omo Odua ni mi Mi o se omo igbo

your first response is very sad and its why they insult Yorubas by calling them slaves
A tribe openly insults us , brings nothing to the table, claim ownership of kwara, kogi and all you can say is that you dont mind sharing your common wealth with the same tribe?
Before Awolowo died what he said was that for Yorubas to move forward they must get access to their wealth
LAST MONTH ALON CUSTOMS IN OYO GENERATED 15BN AND GUESS WHAT THEY CANT PAY SALARIES BUT YOUR MUMU BRAIN IS SAYING THE NORTH SHOULD TAKE THE MONEY
ARE YOU A SLAVE? OR ARE YOU A MALLAM HIDING UNDER A YORUBA NAME

LAGOS ARE NOT FIGHTING FOR TAX INCREASE BECAUSE MOST DONT KNOW ANY INDUSTRY IN THEIR OUGHT TO BE PAYING TAX TO THEMSELVES

SECONLY IF YOUT HAPPY SHARING YOUR WEALTH WITH A DESERT TRIBE THEN LET DOES WHO DONT WANT TO SHARE KINDLY LEAVE
LOOK AT YORUBA LAND TODAY BEFORE WE BUILD MAINROADS ABUJA MUST APPROVE AND RELEASE FUNDS

PORTS GENERATE TRILLIONS BUT LAGOS GETS NOTHING TO MAINTAIN THE ROADS THAT PORT USERS MAKE USE OFF
MY YORUBA BROTHERS AND SISTERS THIS IS NOT A WAILING MATTER
THE NIGERIAN ENTITY IS STRUCTURED IN SUCH A WAY WE SOUTHERNERS ARE SLAVES AND OUR RESOURCES TAX ARE COLLECTED MAJORLY BY A REGION

INFACT I WOULD HAVE KEPT QUIET IF IT WAS SHARED EQUALLY OR NORTH WAS A PRODUCTIVE REGION BUT NO ITS NOT PLEASE WAKE UP
WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR AT LEAST 20% TAX RETENTION OR LEAVE THE UNION
THOSE INDUSTRIES POLUTTE OUR ENVIROMENT
TODAY WE CANT SET OUR EDUCATIONAL STANDARD
IF WE DOMINATE A SECTOR WE ARE CHASED AWAY
PLS WHAT IS THE POINT OF LIVING BASED ON ANOTHER TRIBE TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO
IS THAT NOT COLONIALISM
IS THAT NOT WHAT AWOLOWO AZIKWE FOUGHT AGAINST
FOR US TO ENJOY OUR GOD GIVEN WEALTH

WAKE UP PLS THANKS

QuotaSystem:
If Ironsi's plan had worked do you not realize he would have passed the same decree and it would have been Ibos owning the 83% oil blocs and STILL would have been complaining? What do you think Ironsi's motivation for unification was? It was a game of domination, the East lost; the North won.

ayokellany:
Are the Yoruba being ruled by the Fulanis lamenting wailing Or fighting for emancipation ? Are you from Kwara ? If it's your heart desire to die over what indigenous kwarans are not willing to fight for I pray that God grant you a quick, swift speedy death.

johnserek:
Sign I am trying to sort an issue but you my fellow Yoruba is ruining it
We are own problem lets continue wallowing in slavery hopefully our children will be braver

johnserek:
Ibadan is the political capital of Yoruba Kingdom how do you want a state like Ekiti, Kwara, Kogi west to survive
Lagos cant be capital as its close to the sea and thats threat should we adopt regionalism at least we know we YORUBAS are labouring for ourselves

50 is to be retained by each region that generates wealth
5% to Ibadan for development of capital city
30% for development of infrastructure
15% as Sovereign wealth funds
happy?

ayokellany:
You are dying from mental slavery. No man can make a Yoruba a slave in Nigeria. You do not have a point with the nonsense you have been dishing out. I believe you need electric jolts to wake your brain from the traumatic slumber it went into this morning.

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.

johnserek:
Did you read my post at all?
You think slavery is by chains and whips?
Slavery is subtle till today Africa is enslaved
It seems your thought process isnt high level
If not if after every basic thing I have wrote all you can say is I am suffering from slave mentality then you need education and you need to travel

ArodewilliamsT:
A reminder....


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.

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.

huangcheng:
Oga QuotaSystem please leave the Igbos out of Yoruba/Hausa-Fulani discuss.

Thank you

All I see is the lamentation of a Biafran. The YorubaS do not mind sharing the VAT from Lagos with a Kano that do not allow the sale of alcohol.

The Yorubas do not have to lead the lamentation of federalism when it was a Biafra Aguiyi Ironsi that truncated confedralism to install the rule of the minority Igbo on The majority Hausa n Yoruba.

What year would Biafrans like you stop lamenting like you are God who deposited crude oil in the NigerDelta ? What is happening to the 13% derivation ? Why is Lagos not fighting for VAT control or not entitled to 13% from the revenue accruing from it's port or the VAT it generates ?

Why must you die lamenting ? If 13% derivation is not enough why not
push for the increase at the federal assemblies or do you have only retard like yourselves as reps ?

What year would you learn to build bridges to achieve your aim in Nigeria instead of lamentation n war ?

Finally why are you so forsaken that you can't make use of your brain but cry victim when you are clearly the aggressor ? Who truncated federalism in Nigeria ? A Biafran

Who orchestrated the first coup de
etat in Nigeria ? A Biafran.


Simply because the majority are wiser
and would not allow you to orchestrate a coup or destroy our newly found democracy / federalism you have been wailing for the past 100 days.
For Godsake what is the problem with you people ? Is it that your brain is damaged or what ? There's no perfect system anywhere in the world and you Biafra should learn to perfect the federalism we are enjoying or suffering as you deem fit n not wail simply because a Nigerian is ruling
Nigeria.

HE WAS BEATEN AT HIS GAME BUT WE THE YORUBAS ARE THE UNCONSCIOUS VICTIMS

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

QuotaSystem:
This is the weak foundation of LIES that the OP built on.

AGUIYI IRONSI, an Igbo man, passed the controversial Unification Decree No. 34 aimed to unify Nigeria into a unitary state. His plan was to dominate the other ethnic nationalities, but was outsmarted by the Hausa Fulani.
