Iddiot how can i mind my business when you fools keep running your mouth on Biafra matter. You consider yourself privileged yet poverty is ravaging you, you keep looking at Lagos life, not only yorubas are in Lagos, not all yorubas even living Lagos can feed properly, forget about being privileged cos you are not, even the vice president is there serving the interest of Hausas, when will you even learn?. You see its hard to teach someone who claims he knows, its like climbing a mountain on a bicycle. Think! Kn23 and Oduastate are making valid points.
Loooonatic flatiyeasterner! When I look at IPOB members in the yeast, all I see is a bunch of hungry, jobless, hopeless morronns!

Come on, Yorubas are better off.

When are you joining the Biafra Secret Service?

By the way, I am benefitting from Osinbajo as AgP. tongue

Awwww

You are mixing things up.

The west was so enveloped in political crisis that Tafa Balewa had to declare a state of emergency in the SW.

That was before Nzeogwu struck.
Dude, with all due respect, you're in no position to lecture me about the politics of that era. You're the one confusing issues. Tafawa Balewa DID NOT tamper with the Regional/Parliamentary system that he was a part of at the time, the 'Khaki boys' did that by truncating the parliamentary system and introducing the unitary one we still have till today. The state of emergency (which was declared by Tafawa Balewa in May of 1962) only lasted for less than a year. Akintola was Premier till he was murdered in January 1966, long after the state of Emergency had been lifted. You're the confused one, guy. If the Western Region had been allowed to resolve its own internal problems (as it was already on the path of doing), perhaps this country wouldn't be in this shyt of a mess it is currently in. Yoruba people had already isolated SLA and by then he was already amenable to a political solution to his problems with the Awo camp.

Buhari's supporters went on a rampage killing folks in parts of the North some years back just coz he lost an election to GEJ, yet no state of emergency was declared in the affected states (more lives were lost during those riots than happened during the Awo/Akintola crisis), neither did anyone overthrow GEJ's government as a result.

Quit trying to justify the unjustifiable (the Nzeogwu coup) just coz you're trying to make a stupid point that is meant to suggest that Yorubas are incapable of ruling themselves owing to some internal political issues they had in the past. I guess your type are one of those that would rather be in servitude to other ethnicities owing to your inferiority complex that makes you feel you must be ruled over by others, else you won't be suggesting that such a great race as the Yorubas are incapable of ruling themselves. You're arguing from a position of abysmal ignorance.

We will be able to create stable power supply, build better roads, better health care and education system. These are the Yorubas that will stick us to this country for years to come because they are not ready to learn from their fathers mistakes. Imagine living in a country were you provide everything for youself, Even light? Yet, you still have to pay for light you dont use.
They're ready to sell Lagos for one Nigeria.

This is the reason why I'm saying other regions should open a similar thread showing their industriousness and richness. Those lying Osus know how to claim what is not theirs. From my research for this thread, I won't be surprise if the Niger-delta, middle belt and Northern nigeria beats those Igbos hands down in terms of industrialization and wealth. For example, an Akwa-Ibomite billionaire Akanimo Udofia (CEO/MD Desicon engineering limited) donated $150000 to a community here in Canada and the Canadian media won't stop singing his praises. There are many like Akanimo from minority tribes that are doing spectacularly well all over the globe. That's why I laugh when Pigbos brag stupidly because they don't own shiit
Honestly my brother, you are so-oo-oo right!! shocked Among the Edo, non-Igbo Delta ethnic groups as well as among the Efik, Ibibio & Kalabari businessmen, you would find a lot of high achievers that are quietly making millions, without any noise! Even among some Northern groups there are silent millionaires who carry out their business on a daily basis, very quietly. undecided But our SE chaps must blow their trumpet at every turn, even when there is nothing to shout about. I weak, o! shocked

A large number of their own SE businessmen sef, that have made a success of their endeavours hail from Delta state. Part of this success can be attributed to the fact that their forbears gave them a good education. undecided Many of their forbears were beneficiaries of Awo's free education scheme in the 60s, when their homeland was under the old Western region, before it was carved out to become part of the old Midwest. Chief Michael Ashikodi Agbamuche the former Attorney-General under Abacha, once made reference to this fact, about how they got free education when Awo was Premier of old Western region. But let me save that for another day! sad

Swine your views dont match with what is on ground so where is that coming from.

People like Kn23 and Oduastate dont share your views either so where do you belong.

I am a strong believer of a yoruba nation, whether you decieve yourself or not it won't change the truth that yoruba is suffering in Nigerian nation and the earlier you think like an adult the better for you.
Looonatic flatiyeasterner wont stop taking panadol for another's headache.

If Yorubas are suffering in Nigeria, then Igbos are in hell! grin

I believe in a restructured Nigeria where we shall recognise and celebrate our differences. cool

Yorubaland is stable enough to attain its full potential. Most of the religious and political strives plaguing much of Nigeria are not common in Yorubaland. An independent Yoruba state has a full potential to succeed. It's perhaps one of the least exploited areas in Nigeria. Yorubas have the longest coastline of any ethnic groups in Nigeria. Do you know how many mineral deposits like gold and iron ore found in Yorubaland? Do you know the billions of barrels of untapped hard oil found in the bitumen deposit of Ondo state. Do you know how much arable farming land is in Oyo, Kwara, and Ogun states? Do you know that most of the limestone deposit and cement production in Nigeria can be found in Yorubaland. Do you know that the largest cement plant in the whole of Africa, the Obajana cement plant is in Yorubaland?

You can consider the immense potential that can come from agriculture and cash crops alone like rubber, cocoa, oil palm, banana, orange, coffee, sugarcane, and cotton. The cocoa produced during the autonomous Western region was the reason why Nigeria was the largest cocoa producer in the world exporting cocoa to the various Western countries. Today, due to the neglect of the Nigerian government, the country has fallen to fourth place behind Indonesia. The same thing happen with the production of oil palm, which Nigeria was the largest producer, but has now been surpassed by Indonesia and Malaysia.

Back in the 1960s and 1970s, the same Indonesia and Malaysia used to come to Western Nigeria to take back saplings to their home countries. The oil palm isn't even native to Indonesia and Malaysia, but the west coast of Africa and yet these people are the largest producers after decades of investment in their agriculture and neglects of Nigeria's. The cocoa house, the only sky scrapper in Nigeria at the time and the tallest in Africa at the time was erected by the cocoa proceeds from the region under Odu'a Investment Company Ltd. Back then, it was referred to as "ile awon agbe."

When you look at a vintage picture of western Nigeria in the 70's and compare it to now, one always seems to wonder what happened along the way. For one, unemployment and poverty was lower then compared to now. The quality of education, security, health, and life was better. Isn't it that as a society ages, its people progresses. Why is it the reverse in Nigeria?
This is because Nigeria is a failed country and will continue to fail. Things will only get worse for this country. I pity the unborn.

How can an enlightened Yoruba be on this thread and still be instigating one-Nigeria?

Awon mofos.

He wants to live with murderous herdsmen and toutish flat head pigs. Na his kind dey entertain flat head governor in Lagos all in the name of one Nigeria.
Go on twitter and see yorubas struggling to make a case for one Nigeria .
The dysfunction works for them . When human beings appear to find themselves in a position of higher relative socio- economic condition, they rarely want change .
The so called social media influencer like Kayode Ogundamisi and Omojuwa carry One- Nigeria for head like mad men even though , the whole place is falling apart all around them .
These guys think that they can change what is an example to the world on how not to run a country .
Another set of yorubas are those who were born into that dysfunction. They have known nothing else but dysfunction.
An example was what happened at Afe Babalola university 2 years ago when students rioted for lack of electricity because the generators were not working .
They are so used to dysfunction that they did not know that generators are an aberration. They had no sense to know that they should have been protesting against the Federal government.

When public university student protest , they protest Like uncultured thugs . Seizing buses , blocking roads and smashing the windows.

I have noticed that omoluabis in the diaspora are the most pro oodua and anti- one Nigeria set of people .
It is not by chance that they are . These guys travel the world and they can see how useless and hopeless Nigeria is .
Personally,One minute of watching Nigerian news TV and I change channels. About the only thing I can stand is the rhythm of music . The lyrics sucksss as welll.
