""Republic of Nigeria" as against "Federal Republic of Nigeria"

They both mean same thing.



""The regions are abolished""

Doesn't mean an end to resource control. He ended regional n created provinces which are independent of each other n has different rulers

TAO11:
Okay so, stop been inferior and in denial whenever you also encounter any Lagos indigene on nairaland.

Moreover, choice of locations for buying properties varies depending on the social status and levels of the buyer.

Igbos may consider Lagos as their dream land, while the Yorubas look at the U.K., the U.S., etc. for choice of location as regards property acquisition. So it's all about levels.

I mean what's the point of me being super excited about owning a piece of Lagos that I already know is all mine?

Yorubas (and Lagos indigenes particularly) aims at beyond and aspires to conquer the bigger world, while leaving the lifetime aspiration of buying in Lagos to the less privileged -- i.e. the Igbos. So, it's all levels.

A Yoruba own some of the largest airports in the U.K., among other great feats by the Yorubas in the bigger worlds. Now, those are goals!

Yorubas sell bits and pieces to other tribes knowing fully well that the most document the Igbo man will get for buying in Lagos is CofO and never Excision.

And finally, Igbos don't even feature in the first 6 richest persons in Nigeria, while the Yorubas repeatedly feature there and beyond. So, what's the fuss about?

PrecisionFx:
Yes I am.

But the Aworis are Bini people.

BabaOwen:
so the aworis in Ogun and Lagos state are not Yoruba, I'm not a Yoruba but I no like lies

Ofemannnu:
Any tribe is given excision just like I said in one of my posts.Igbos,Urhobos,Hausas,Yorubas etc get excision.
PrecisionFx and the other ignorant ones are deluded just like most of them.A lot of people are buying lands in Lagos and the fastest selling lands in Nigeria now is Ibeju Lekki and the people that are still buying more than the others are still Yorubas.
Yorubas already have the largest chunk of Lagos and are still buying.
Ignorant Igbos who come online and say they have bought Lagos are just being hyper ignorant.
Yorubas are the greatest and biggest developers in Nigeria and one of the biggest in Africa.I know if a man from Kwara who owns 200 buildings in a street in Lagos here and still has properties strewn all over Lagos.He is from Igbaja.Have you heard of Okeowo?

The biggest developers after the government in Abuja are still the Yorubas.Even in the USA,the only big Nigerian developer is Yoruba.
As for people who live in those buildings,statistics have shown that
Yorubas have the highest industrialists,lawyers,billionaires,middle income earners,oil magnates,real estate developers,ICT technocrats,politicians,musicians etc.You can guess rightly that these people will dominate in these high brow areas.Being in this business,you see some people but will never know they are OMOLUABIS until you interact with them for a long time.Yes,they do not speak Yoruba and they call themselves their core Christian or Muslim names.
Another thing is the per capita of Yorubas are always better and they are the least poverty stricken in the South of Nigeria.
Igbos are really buying lands in Lagos but they are far,far behind the Yorubas and everybody is given excision.Igbos are a delight to have around because they will help to develop your environment but they can be a thorn in the flesh.We must learn to live together.

Deadlytruth:
He ended resource control by unifying the civil services of the four regions into a single national under his control at the center. Thereafter, civil servants generated revenues for the center. Do you have any evidence that sequel to his Unification Decree civil servants still collected salaries from their former regions or generated revenues and remitted them to same?

Deadlytruth:
Very stupid Biafoolani revisionism.
When Ironsi announced his Unification Decree, the Governor of Northern Region, Katsina, protested openly. Northerners staged riots and protests. The Governor of Midwest, David Ejoor, condemned the Decree. Condemnations also trailed it from the Western Region. But Ojukwu the Eastern Region Governor approved of it by gleefully announcing the next day over the radio that civil servants from the Eastern Region would henceforth be transferred to the Northern Region to take up headship positions. In fact the committee which Ironsi set up to advise him on the new constiution was 100% Igbo.

So Azikiwe was representing Northerners in the parliament where he was advocating unitary system? It is like saying that Ekwwremadu was voted into the current Senate by Northerners as well as Igbos to represent his Enugu constituency? Are you sure you understand how representative democracy works?

PrecisionFx:
We have made history by winning multiple seats in Lagos And we did it with our massive population.

Rigging n thuggery won't atop IGBOS in Lagos.

PrecisionFx:
Long daft piece.

Couldn't read beyond the first 2 lines

PrecisionFx:
The government civil service on average isn't a source of revenue for the government.

Gowon removed resource control and not Aguiyi. Unifying the Security agencies and Civil service doesn't mean that monies generated from groundnut pyramid is seized by the FG.

Each region ran itself n contributed 30% to the centre.

PrecisionFx:
Aworis are different from yorubas same way u believe Ijaws are different from IGBOs

PrecisionFx:
""Even in the USA,the only big Nigerian developer is Yoruba.""

We never eveb knew u were the minister for development in America

Yoighaman:
I strongly agree with you, I think she won...just because she's Igbo doesn't mean she should be cheated, afterall she's a Nigerian and free to contest and win an election in any part of the country, this tribal bigotry will get us no where and by the way I am Yoruba. God bless Nigeria.

AdekunleScience:
You are a liberal Omoluabi just like myself. However, I have decided to relate with Igbos as a collective strictly on pragmatic basis with Yoruba interest as my first consideration. Yes, in an ideal situation no Nigerian should be denied of their constitutional right, on account of their tribe or ethnicity/religion. Now, these are facts: the Yorubas have been the most tolerant group in this nation since its creation. All over Yorubaland you will find non-Yorubas in either government or civil service. This good gesture has never been returned by any other region. Ironically, the Igbos who are arguably the most intolerant group (even among themselves) in this country are the most aggressive in wanting important political positions in other regions. To make matters worse, when they win such positions it won't take long before they start gloating about how they are now dominating their host. Bro, you would agree with me that no great people remain great for long if they treat their antagonists with levity. As for me I will always treat people as individuals irrespective of their background. However, we must realize that as a collective, Igbos have decided to be Yorubas number one antagonist, and it's only rational that we don't allow them do in our space what they won't allow us do in their own space.

BabaOwen:
ijaw is not and can never be an igbo clan. Well, you can keep on telling yourself bulshit just to make you happy.

Deadlytruth:
Why not simply show your evidence?
In fact Gowon restored the regions with his own Decree 9, and gave them back their autonomy.
Go and revise the topic " The Public Service" in your SS2 Government textbook for a better understanding of the pivotal and exclusive role of the civil service in resource control.

bossvinqualad25:
,u are very stupid for that statement u just made, can you contest for a councillor seat in the east, dumb sell out,bastard

PrecisionFx:
Same way Aworis can never be Afonja.

PrecisionFx:
.

How long will it take u to realize how false u sound? Gowon didn't restore regional government, he created states, thereby destroying everything.

GOWON CREATED STATES N NEVER RESTORED ANY REGION.

bossvinqualad25:
thats very intelligent of you, u are true omoluabi

Deadlytruth:
How long will it take you to realize that you are not deeply knowledgeable on Nigeria's history?
The first thing Gowon did on getting to power was to restore the regions and return their autonomy. They remained like that for the next 11 months after which Ojukwu's irrational intransigence forced him to create the twelve states with the autonomy of their parent regions trickling down on them.
Go and read before you disgrace yourself in a public forum.

Yoighaman:
Your father is stupid. Must you insult others to pass across your message? I forgot to mention your Mother is more stupid. Idiotic uncouth bigot.

TAO11:
Why then can't you particularly point out your state instead of hiding behind Ebonyi and Zamfara which you just dissociated from?

Where in the muddy region are you particularly from? Are you not proud enough to mention it, just as I mentioned mine?

When I told you my state of origin, I actually warned that you should try hard not to let your inferiority complex kick in on hearing that I am a Lagosian while you're not. But despite my warning, you still couldnt veil your inferiority complex.

If I had been from Ondo as you hypothesized (or from any other part of Yoruba land), I will actually be as proud as I am now as a Lagos indigene because there is nothing else as being a Yoruba.

I will only regret and be ashamed of mentioning my state of origin (just as youre ashamed of mentioning yours) if I had been from any part of Igbo land. But I thank God for his love.

Every Igbo person gets ashamed, uneasy, and frustrated when they encounter a Lagos Indigene. It almost feel to you people like 'he is superior to me if he is from Lagos, so I will deceive and trick my mind into believing that he is not' And I just saw it play out with two Yaminris now, you being one of them.

It is not my fault that you're so unfortunate and unlucky that your mom fell pregnant for a fan-yogo seller from the muddy region, while I am a Lagos indigene.

Anyways, if there is another world, then learn to choose your parents wisely.

jayextra:
what's d summary of this long note?

WINNERMENTALITY:
Tribalism of the highest order... Make Una enjoy Una Mandate.. We are all Nigerians And Lagos became what it is today by collective effort of every Nigerian.

Okoyeebows:
How much did your father put in Lagos?

Is not stupidity to claim to develop Lagos while your own state remains undeveloped?

Dangote is investing billions of dollars in Lagos. Ibru, Obat, Otudeko, Dantata, etc have invested billions of dollars in Lagos and they didn't claim anything. It is some useless paupers claiming to have developed Lagos.

They would pay heavily for their stupidity in Lagos.

Yoighaman:
Get a brain idiot. Your parents didn't have any that's why you lack one. Never mind, brains would be available for sale next week, go queue for one, let's just hope your stupidity doesn't ooze out so you are not denied being sold one. Stupid idiot.

Okoyeebows:
The bolded is not true.

Mention a single non-yoruba that has been given excision and the name of such excision.

All these companies selling land, mention a single one that got excision without it being given to the Yoruba community. All you'll hear is excision in progress. Na there the matter dey end.

Igbos have never been given excision in Lagos. Don't sweat it, it's a fact.
