I respect Odia Ofeimun but all what he said in this piece is nonsense and very disappointing. Nigerians voted out Jonathan because of his poor performance in office and nothing else. Linking his electoral loss to crude oil politics is absolute nonsense. How many oil well has Buhari allocated since he became president? Silly talk like this will only continue to divide the country at a time when all parts need to unite and demand for good governance.

And to the issue of restructuring, it is very funny that he tried to suggest that Yoruba's have abandoned the clamour after moving to the federal mainstream with APC. Just last week, Yakassai accused Yoruba's of pushing for restructuring out of jealousy and Ibos quickly supported him. No southern leader rebuked him or even try to correct that silly accusation. In fact, IPOBS gloated over that thread without remorse. Now, Ofeimum is raising the issue again.

Even though I am still unconvinced about how restructuring will make us a better and more united nation, I think southerners must learn to take a position on the matter and stick to it. Restructuring can only be achieved through a united southern voice. Yorubas alone cannot champion the cause. SE and SS must also admit that they want Nigeria restructured and the call is not out of any jealousy.

We know the parole...

80% of the oil blocks belong to the North. -Senator Ita Enag.

GEJ promised to do justice to the inequality, as a result BH was promoted by the Northern oligarchy to discredit his government.

Now the BH has becomes a monster difficult to control.

To quench the agitation for equality in the oil blocks allocation, Buhary appointed the same Senator Ita Enag into his administration.

Fellow Nigerians, shine your eyes, shine am, well well.

We knew all these and we warned our Yoruba brothers but they refused to listen...
Call the average Yoruba man....and he'll gladly play second fiddle to these Gambaris anytime any day
It's high time the Yorubas realize that they were used as a means to an end. The so called CHANGE mantra was scam to begin...
What's happening to Tinubu right now should be used as a case study. Since the inception of this country.... The Gambaris has always have a born to rule mentality..... Jonathan became a president by chance. And when the time came... He had to be purged out like a parasite
What worries me is that the way the country is designed right now..... The Gambaris will always have the upper hand.... They have a 90% chance of being the president..... All thanks to the Yorubas.
Forget APC or PDP
Buhari would gladly hand over to a Gambari PDP than to hand over to Osinbanjo

This what Tinubu and his siblings failed to understand before forming alliance with north.

This buhari's regime has revealed the level of gullibility in yeruba land.

Pinkybush:
U called what this man said "NONESENSE"? U are really wicked. Talking about Jonathan's performance, can you compare with your god's (Buhari) performance, interms of Education, Agriculture, Railway, Power, Road construction, Rule of law, etc? Indeed you are a big civilize mugu.

Only the day before, restructuring of the Federation had been the rousing mantra. It was so swiftly abandoned or let us say toned down to the point of denial, after the advocates discovered a beeline to political power as a more valued project. - Odia Ofeimun

Same way Buhari is eyeing the ND oil yet claims he is diversifying. The North is truly a parasite. Only God knows how they wld hv fared if the british had nt joined them wit southern nigeria

teepsee:
cause of oil block my foot. They will always hate anything coming from the south.


Even if Allah tell them that the savior of this country will come from the south, they will doubt him and prefer to sufer rather than accepting someone from that region

Quite the opposite, northerners do not hate the south and had shown this when a significant number of them voted for GEJ in 2011 and overwhelmingly for MKO Abiola in 2003 (against their own son Bashir Tofa); until both openly resorted to tribal/regional politics: Abiola, by turning the June 12 struggle into a Yoruba affair instead of a national one - as it were; and Jonathan, by deliberately allowing the massive Boko Haram slaughter of northerners in the NE, while looting the money meant to protect them; allowing his wife and kinsmen (e.g. Asari Dokubo) to make divisive insulting anti-northern statements during the months leading towards the election; while preceding to that he himself publicly admitting to the lopsidedness of his appointments in favour of the SE by openly stating that Igbos were the pillars of his cabinet - a sentiment, even if true that he should, at best, have been kept to himself and certainly unworthy of a president.
Its no wonder that northerners, in view of the above were in both instances forced to look inwards and re-alion their politics accordingly - but not out of innate hatred for southerners, as you claimed.

Finally, the assertion that Jonathan was voted out due protectionist interest from the north in view of the upcoming review of oil bloc leasing, is as faulty as the much dispelled big lie and propaganda that northerners owned majority of the oil blocs.
If Mr. Ofeimun's assertions were true, then it made no sense as to why northerners would then want to gang up to oust Jonathan in order to protect a supposed advantage (i.e. owning majority of the oil blocs) which they in fact do not have?

The * I Before Orders * are now crying wolf where there is non. They say when the head is off it will be too late to cry.
Where was Ofeimun in 1962 when the Hausa /Ibo collusion govt colluded to scuttle the well focused forward looking Yoruba nation regional government when they declared state of emergency for no just cause.?
Where was Ofeimun in 1963 when the Ibo/Hausa collusion colluded together to sentence head of the Yoruba nation regional govt. Chief Obafemi Awolowo and other Yoruba leaders to 10 years imprisonment for hook up treason trial?
Where was Ofeimun in 1963 also when IBO/Hausa collusion govt. colluded to exercise the Midwestern Region from the West without similar exercise been carried out in the Middle belt from the North and Calabar _Ogoja River state from the East despite serious agitations from the leaders in those areas the likes it Joseph Tarka from the North and Ken Sarowiwa ,Wenike Briggs and Lulu Briggs in line with Awo's recommendation before Nigerian Independence see Awolowo's Thought to Nigerian constitution 1945 were these people so mentioned not silenced for good by the Hausa/IBO conspiracy.
It is now you are clamoring for restructuring and I said when the head is off it all be too late to cry.
See what the actions or inactions of that time has brought us to Nigeria of today.
And like Caeser "Oh conspiracy where for will thou hide thy eye brows.
