Igbos & lagos So you didnt want the real owners of lagos to control/manage the affairs of their state? You used calabar to cover up,your main target is lagos. . Igbos/ lagos

HurtgenForest:
That will be left for the SS people to worry about.

If I say SS does not exist now the 'We SS' will scream "Land grabber!"

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO:
Stop making this mistake. The ibos are ready to forfeit all these places in exchange for Lagos. An ibo man would rather die in Lagos than go back to iboland

HurtgenForest:
Exactly my brother, for instance Igbos will take back our lands of Obigbo & Egbema carved into Rivers state in 1976. These were part of old Imo state.

blackpanda:
so in other words, we will be back to the same problem.
The creation of state or region is not the issue. What Nigerians need is development and infrastructure. It doesn't matter whether it was done by a premier or a governor or a prime minister!

attackgat:
Of course. There are many Igbos that have fraudulently put in other so called geopolitical zones. Igbos of the lower Benue, the Umu-ezeokaha people in the NC, Anioma, Obigbo and others in the SS. The must all be returned to where they belong, therefore, before the creation of any region, all Igbo elements must given the opportunity to vote to join their Igbo brothers in their region. Nigeria has divided the Igbo nation for far too long

QuotaSystem:
What I find funny is the timing of this clamour for change of Nigeria's governance structure.

So now that power at the centre is back in the hands of the North/SW, you suddenly want the centre to be weakened?

Now that it has been proven that politics of hatred and ethnic bigotry by the SE is totally powerless in today's politics of alliances, and it must build bridges with those it detests to survive? You suddenly want the Presidency to be as useless as the National Orientation Agency?

Good luck.

Nairaland is really opening the eyes of many Nigerians to see how slimy these people of red mud are.
Their mortal fear of regionalism is about the status of Lagos under regionalism.

HurtgenForest:
Even the SW have been calling for this, some prominent men from the region are also saying the same thing.

This will be the best for all Nigerians as it will put an end to the type of bitterness surrounding presidential elections like the last one that produced Buhari.

The northern regions will also elect men they like to harness their potential and develop at their own pace.

Goke7:
so all these calls about regionalism and federalism is just because of the loss of last year elections?

That can never be a strong basis for true federalism, it means we are merely playing politics, if my candidate does not win elections, I will simply be shouting resource control and regionalism eh?

it means we are all jokers then

HurtgenForest:
Oga this is not just about Lagos what of the present FCT?

PentiumPro:
Well, it should rightfully go to the owners of the land.

HurtgenForest:
After all that the nation has put in there

Never!

It belongs to all of us although we respect the fact that there are indegenous people there.

You are exposing and betraying the average Ibo man fear about regionalism and it all about LAGOS. You are afraid that Yorubas can wake up one day and ship you all back to your enclaves, why are you so scared?

PentiumPro:

Are you to determine that? Ojukwu once tried it, he was thoroughly messed up. Yorubas will never fight a religious or tribal war, but very deadly in territorial wars.

Emmynet50:
If our politicians will give us a true federalism where the states only contribute to d central, we will have a peaceful Nigeria were every region strives to develop at their own pace.

[s]The only bitterness following Buhari's election is the one that has always been in the heart of iPods against him even before the elections. You're all just being sore losers that are too weak to survive in the opposition.

You honestly expect the North to give away its political capital because some people are sore losers?

I reckon the futile agitation is just a coping mechanism to avoid being rendered totally irrelevant. [/b][/s]

HurtgenForest:
[s]What has Ojukwu got to do with this? He fought a war of survival and not aggression.

How can the people of FCT come out tomorrow saying that they own everything? That is unacceptable.

No one is asking for any wars but let me tell you that if any other war breaks out in Nigeria, there will be very fierce battles for the control of Lagos and the FCT.

You can call me names or insult me all you want but I know what I am talking about[/s].

PentiumPro:
Ojukwu didn't fight any war of survival, he fought an ego trip war with Gowon. He simply found it belittling to come under Gowon. T[b]hey lied so much about the cause, the course and the outcome of the civil war to you young generation of Ibos.[/b]
Ojukwu once ranted more than you are doing now, he sacrificed over 3m of your fathers for it.

HurtgenForest:
[s]For goodness sakes how did Ojukwu fight a war because of ego?

Are you not aware of the pogroms that took place in the north and how easterners were being killed for what they knew nothing about?

Ojukwu did not sacrifice our people, they were killed by Nigerians and for your info, the bulk of our people that died during that war was from starvation which eventually led to the end of the war.

Nigeria suffered heavier military casualties confronting a Biafran side whose standard riffle was the bolt action.

We were better on the battle field[/s].

HurtgenForest:
[s]The FCT is in the MB and it will go with the MB if Nigeria must split or will the inavder from fouta jallon march down there to capture the city like they are doing to Agatu now? It will not be an easy ride.[/s]

Dream on. One can't expect to spank a child and expect him not to cry. I've made my point; enjoy the self destructive coping mechanism for your post election stress disorder. Federalism my nubian balls .

The seaports alone is enough for the FG to 'annex' lagos state not to talk of other structures like the 3rd mainland bridge and other. Do you know how much those seaports contributed to making Lagos what it is today
