Can Nigerians contribute to a forum without referencing yoruba this.. Afonja that.

Hate has eaten down the working part of the brain of some people, they can't even reason like a normal human being again.

This is a sensitive topic. This is long overdue.

This is the only way Nigeria can develop. Lagos and Ogun state are already stylishly playing this game. We should make it a reality.

Awolowo started it. though igbo were opposing it.

Tinubu and his political cronies are against it. It doesn't mean all Yoruba are opposing it.

Igbo were opposing it during Awolowo and now they are promoting.

No need to point finger to any tribe. We have all made that mistake. Afonja this, Uganda that.. This has to stop. For the sake of our future

PataAlhaja:


Unstable?

How old are you?

I think you some lessons in history. Lemme help a bit.

While Awolowo preached true federalism and performed excellently when it was operational, "Zik of Africa" wanted "One Nigeria"...

proeast:
Its better late than never, I'm happy they have finally joined the SE & SS in demanding for restructuring that would usher in true fiscal federalism. Now that we have a consensus in the South, with the bombings, economic stagnation and suffering of the masses, the parasitic North will have no option than to accept that the era of "monkey dey work while baboon dey chop" is gone forever. Every individual, LGA & state must strive for itself and earn a living. Laziness doesnt pay & must be discouraged for peace & progress!!!!

PataAlhaja:


..coming from an IPOB miscreant who's still pained that his adopted "god" lost the 2015 presidential elections.

Mumu who didn't know the SW had always subscribed to true federalism and had developed herself with Cocoa monies prior to the discovery of Oil.

Lovely comment

Deadlytruth:
Your first line is in error. Yorubas originated the call for true fiscal federalism in Nigeria in 1944 as at the time the current SE and 66% part of the current SS were proposing unitary system disguised as a belief in "One-Nigeria". Please re-read history with particular focus on Awolowo's arguements as the foremost and most consumate federalist Nigeria ever had.
Mind you; I am not Yoruba. But the deadly truth has to be laid bare if we truly desire freedom.

39xtr36r:


Stop spewing trash and simply present the facts were SE opposed fiscal federalism in 1944 or later.

Deadlytruth:
You have come again with your lies. Did Zik the Igbos leader not argue that federalism would promote tribalism over nationalism? Was Zik a federalist or a unitarian? Was it not an Igbo man who first dismantled our federalism and changed our name from "Federal Republic of Nigeria" to just "Republic of Nigeria" meaning that the federating units had ceased to exist? All these happened before Aburi Accord which itself was a demand for confederalism and not a return to the federalism we were practising earlier on.

Afonjas will never cease to cause amazement in this fraudulent union with silly lies, propaganda and hypocrisy.

This is a people who in 1967 connived with their Northern masters to frustrate the implementation of the Aburi Accord that was duly signed in Ghana by the parties involved. And the end result of the genocidal war in which they had much fun killing and maiming Igbos and Easterners for wanting out of the cesspit.

As if their evils wasn't enough, in 1970, they defrauded the Easterners of their hard earned money to enrich themselves. And they proceeded to acquire the companies of the colonial masters and later looted and destroyed the companies leading to the ruin and collapse of the Nigerian economy till date.

The same creatures enacted the Land Use Decree to take away the right from the Better South to control natural endowments.

Enemies of progress who enjoy fishing in troubled waters in search of decomposing matters and leftovers.

Silly rants and lies from a deadlytrash who cannot do without putting the blame of the obliviousness and cluelessnes of his Uneme-Nekhua people on the Igbo Nation.

Simply present the facts where Igbos opposed anything fiscal federalism in 1944 or later and you're plunging yourself into deeper sh1t.

Lest you forget: the Edo/Edoid elites have been in the habit of betraying the trust and lots of the better South.

Deadlytruth:
As usual he has ignored the facts which has been laid bare again as he demanded, but has started throwing tantrums rather than addressed the facts. Who betrayed the East other than Zik who was standing with Gowon and preaching "One-Nigeria" while his fellow Easterners were being slaughtered by Gowon?
Aguyi Ironsi, under Zik's inspiration, destroyed our federalism and replaced it with unitary system. Simple unassailable fact.

U better don't kill yourself on top Yoruba matter u this brainwashed iPad...

Which Cocoa? Don't be a fool. Which agro product does Yorubas produce in abundance? Go to Mile 12 market
Yam, Orange - Benue mainly
Water melon -North
Palm Oil- Ondo, Edo, Delta and Imo state.
Rice, beans and ground nut oil- North
Garri- Edo, Osun, Oyo

With the vest and fertile land, you remain the least productive region.

Is that the fact for your insinuation that Igbos opposed fiscal federalism as early as 1944?

Stop being smart by half.

Your rants and lies against Igbos are simply in vain. That you so dread Igbos for standing against evil in the land will remain your nemesis.

Remember, Ojukwu came up with the confederation idea and proposed it in the Aburi Accord of January 4 and January 5, 1967, which was agreed to and signed by the parties involved only for enemies of progress - the greedy Edos and Yorubas to push for its non-implementation till date.

You should not expect Igbos to continue to subsidise your vassalage, parasitism and obliviousness.

melejo:
Hope you will will find time to check aburi accord also

Deadlytruth:
Rubbish! Utter Rubbish!!
What Enahoro scuttled was not federalism
but Ojukwu's proposal of confederalism at
Aburi.
See the definitions below:
1. Unitary system: A vertical arrangement in
which the Centre is superior to the regions/
federating units. This makes it easy for the
centre to bend the will of the regions/
federating units thus a bad system.
2. Confederacy: A vertical arrangement as
well in which the regions/federating units
are superior to the centre....... the upside
down form of unitary system. This makes it
easy for the regions/federating units to
bend the will of the centre. That too is bad
for good governance.
3. Federalism: A horizontal arrangement in
Which both the centre and federating units
are on the same level of power possession
that guarantees a balance of powers.
Neither the centre nor the federating units
can bend the other's will.
Number 3 is the best and such was what
Enahoro and the rest stood for. Before
Ironsi came Nigeria was practising No. 3.
Ironsi and Ojukwu came and forcefully
changed it to Number 1. Nigerians
including Enahoro rejected it and insisted
we go back to the no. 3 we were practising
before. That led to anarchy which took
Ironsi's and many Igbo's lives. Then Ojukwu
became annoyed and started demanding
no. 2 (confederacy) which he compiled as
Aburi proposal. But Nigerians again,
including Enahoro, rejected it and
mantained once more that we returned to
the no. 3 we were practising before Ironsi
and Ojukwu came. This made Ojukwu
angrier and go for confrontation.
Ojukwu was oscillating between Unitary
system and Confederacy while Enahoro and
other Nigerians stood consistently for
federalism which we had already tasted and
found delicious. Ojukwu was therefore
inconsistent and therefore was rightly
denied solidarity. Ojukwu NEVER demanded
federalism but Unitary System and
Confederacy at different times.

Yorubas eeeh! After losing out on Buhari's appointment, they are now longing for restructuring. Osibanjo said Nigeria doesn't require restructuring now they he's saying otherwise.

Tinubu your plan of caving out won't work, let's sit back in Nigeria. They said Igbos wanted restructuring because they lost in the last election, why are you asking for same thing now?
Good morning Western Nigeria.

Go and read d last confab report, only south west asked for true federalism and ur people were busy asking for additional state, so this isn't the first time

Its always convinient for some you guys to talk about aburi accord. What about before aburi accords? Is this kind of selective amnesia or what?
