Arewa wants to fool rest of Nigeria to retain the fraudulent 36 states political structure created by Arewa soldiers alone.

One region federating northern Nigeria was multiplied by Arewa soldiers to give rise to 20 federating units of today;
while two southern federating units at independence only gave rise to 17 federating units.

No true federal country created new federating units using land mass as criterion, as was done in Nigeria by Arewa soldiers.

Three senators come from every state. Thus, Arewa controls Nigeria's National Assembly, uses the undue large number of states and local government councils to siphon most of oil proceeds to Arewa.

Five states only in the south east, but seven in the north west zone.

Garry of Ohaneze is representing himself.

Whoever believes that one day Arewa shall bow to fiscal federalism or regional government system while crude oil exists in the Niger delta must be foolish.

A disunited house cannot agree on anything. For the South to standup to the North and insist on fiscal federalism or regional government, the Igbos and yorubas and SS minorities need to speak in one voice.

I know it will be difficult to persuade the Lagos yorubas to agree on regionalism, but atleast fiscal federalism should appeal to them. They stand to gain alot from their ports like most of us in the SS will gain from our oil and ports. They need not fear about losing some monopoly as in the end it still equals out through the gains.

Without Igbo above, Ikwerre shall be swallowed overnight by rest of Nigeria. Even the 13% paid for derivation shall be cut off.

Wake up from slumber.

Igbos are our cousins, but truth be told, Igbos aren't doing magnificently politically in Nigeria. If Igbos were well-placed politically, the secession cry would not arise.

If your saying Igbos are responsible for the 13% derivation, then you're quite insincere. The SS governors pushed for this particularly Odili, Igbinedion, Alamieyeseigha and Ibori. The Igbos expectedly lent their voice but should not ask for more than their due credit.

Senseless post. Surprised the mods of Nairaland ignored this.

Acf/ northern elders, you people can not force the unity of nigeria on other sections of the country. First, the country should be totally restructured, and refrandum conducted

The people are old fools s,what they suppose to do first is to make sure Nnamdi Kanu was release then come back to find solution of the agitation of IPOB,not to go with ohaneze old fools .The youth have a say in the country because the have fail us totally.Please AREWA go back to drawing board now .we need this matter to be solve immediately .

Where did they keep sense before

One of the dividends of a united Ohaneze. Igbos needed a common voice to state their position on the IPOB nonsense and our position is now open. We remain part and parcel of a united Nigeria and will continue to contribute our quota to nation building.

All those GEJ's supporters still bitter about their loss should commit suicide or join the moving train.

Fiscal federalism is more or less restricted to independent income and expenditure. Partial federalism will sell better and then gradually we can talk of true federalism which involves most areas of governance outside defence which must be unitary and central.

The partial federalism should be based on the 36 State structure for a peaceful take off. Voluntary merger of States should be allowed by loosening the constitutional requirements a bit.

And where are the Biafran e-warriors? Their parents have gone to beg the Hausa's on behalf of their children who don't know what they are doing. Eeeeyah.

Technically, Hausas and fulanis came to beg them in ENUGU. The joke dey ontop your head.

It's only engineer's that don't bear a grudge against anyone from a different tribe. I'm Igbo, I work with hausa, fulani, Igbo, yoruba, Edo, ss, sw, se, N, NC, NE, togolese, I don't care for tribe, it's the personality that counts.

millionaireman:


What cohesion have you achieved?

After northern leadership, Yoruba takes over? Is that cohesion for you?

Don't be so short sighted. That sort of cohesion so long as it lasts must continue to bring Nigeria to its knees, without basic development infrastructures. Kapish?

Dude, I said we don't need socio cultural group s to achieve cohesion. Never mentioned anything ' bout taking over from Northern leadership. Gotta learn to not project your jaundiced opinion on me and to not superimpose your imagination on others. Nu?

Both Ohaneze and Arewa are fighting for their own selfish interests. Nonsense!

It's because a fucking ikwerre is leading ohaneze now that's why. I'm sorry but it's the f2king truth cause I know SE Igbo will jump on me for saying this but it's the f2king truth and I'm not going to sugarcoat. When anioma led ohaneze, during umuzurike trial, ohaneze intervened repeatedly to aid him but now an ikwerre is leading, look wtf ohaneze has become. They are just a useless old men running around like headless chicken.

I don't care if Una call me ethnocentric on this but I will say this, should have continued passing the leadership to anioma. We led better. I'm starting to believe the ikwerres are just saboteur people. We look at Amaechi act to GEJ and now ohaneze to Nnamdi under the leadership of an ikwerre, it says alot. Hell history supports it too

Let arewa continue meeting ohaneze. Not one single Igbo listen to ohaneze anymore. Let ohaneze continue scamming them. Na their time dey waste

Confused and lost onenaira.
According your quote above everything portray anger, frustration. But then in your second or third comment you went ahead to say " Yorubas(SW) are insignificance hence while they weren't invited?


Why are you this confuse?

Reading through the comments on here 50% Ibo see this development as an opportunity to mock SW region while %50 detest and wailing over this development.

Why una this confuse now

Ikwerre this, Ikwerre that. Get a grip man. Ikwerre isnt a part of your ohanazen.. Your group is open to Igbos only and not Ikwerre.

Ogbakor Ikwerre is how we roll.

Oh wow!!!!! This pitiful man is still pretending to be ikwerre even after its been shown repeatedly and proven without reasonable doubt he's not ikwerre. Tufiakwa!!!! I think your problem is more psychological than anything.

Dumb@ss, didn't anyone tell you that Igo Okparanma is the president. Didn't anyone tell you that ikwerre participate in election of ohaneze leaders?
http://nigerianewspoint.com/bulk-vote-ohaneze-rivers-yet-to-endorse-candidates/
(Well I just learned Igo was replaced by Garry.. well still does not remove wtf I said. Anioma should lead. We lead better).

Go sit your wannabe ikwerre @ss down. Why don't you go get schooled again by real ikwerre and others about river state you claim you reside and from. Even read your pitiful @ss don't even know the walk to ogbakiri that you claim you from and even stated ekpeye and etche speaks ikwerre. You are too pitiful. F2k out of my face nigga

Wtf is this monkey screeching about? The Arewa are running around visiting all self claimed "leader" of each region in south and even some by tribe yet Una are left out. That's what they saying. Well the arewa know you are docile @ss who will jump if they say so why waste a trip. No be so? Losers

Ikechuk0.. this will be the last time i will reply you on anything. I have absolutely nothing to prove to you. You are 100% entitled to your opinion.

Ohaneze Ndiigbo is simply playing to the gallery. You don't expect them to say no to one Nigeria, Ndiigbo had never said no to one Nigeria, we simply said no to the Arewa-Odua fancied one Nigeria.

Our position had always been and remain a completely restructured Nigeria where each region is 100% independent of the next region and have 100% or there about control over its resources and affairs.

That have never changed till now, that was a Nigeria Ojukwu demanded, and that is the only Nigeria that will stop Igbo demand for secession, everything else is waste of time.

I am sure Ohanaeze and their Arewa guests are well aware of this.

Last CONFAB, South west refused fiscal federalism, but instead asked for regional government system. That's the stance of the south west today.

But regional government system without fiscal federalism is worse than what we have today.

Even the southwest has most of its politicians now in alliance with the north, with the plan to be exchanging the office of the presidency between the two sides.

Seems you don't even update yourself with realities, as narrow mindedness makes you feel that distancing your south south from Igbo is good for you. Doing that makes you lose more and more in Nigeria's political space.

As for how 13% for derivation came to be: go and ask Peter Odili. When Ikemba Ojukwu died, Odili openly announced that Ikemba Ojukwu was instrumental in the 13% derivation payment to mineral producing states.

Some of you in the south south hardly understand that without the Igbo, rest of Nigeria shall swallow your south south overnight.

Nobody takes Yoruba afenifere serious again

Tell them. Tell those that foolishly believe that Biafra is about Igbos getting access to south south Oyel.

Some sophisticated southwest people use that argument to deceive some gullible minds in the south south.

Little did they know that the most rich countries of the world today have no crude oil. Some of these rich countries are also landlocked.

Ugomba, well, He should concentrate his energies into realising Anioma state before including Ikwerre into his biafran dreams.

Wtf in any of my comment is implementing anything is good? Nothing on any of my comment suggested, hinted or even prompted that Arewa visiting others to beg for continuation of one Nigeria is good, decent or okay. My comment regarding Una is to answer one commenters question why they excluded Una in their kumbaya building journey. The answer was simple. You've always been their docile @ss in the south and they know this shit. After all, when they hinted of breaking up and creating Arewa republic, ****
