DMerciful: Can I ask why the Niger Delta region is receiving that much allocation from the FG? Because of their oil right? That means they are privileged because of their natural resources. The British made Lagos the capital during the 1914s period because of Lagos waters which is also a resources. Do you even know lagos port was built as far back as 1913 even before the amalgamation of Nigeria protectorate? There are lot of countries in the world that are privileged because of the resources they have. Dubai, Oman, Qatar, etc. so why should lagos waters be any different? Ibadan was actually the best city bar Lagos in Nigeria before the death of the regional government. It was a growing city with many firsts among firsts before the military fools truncated the system. Even till now, Ogun state still boast of lot of industries and a revenue base that is the envy of most states in the SE. if you like say it’s because of its close proximity to Lagos, it dosen’t stop the fact that Ogun is a better state than most states in your region. Also note that Ogun state strategic location is also a resources on its own. Even till now, Oyo state still boast of many companies with an IGR that will be more than like 3 or 4 of the states in the SE. What does that tell you? It tells you that the Yoruba people are actually excelling and those states you mention are developing at their own pace. The take home from this is that the Lagos waters and strategic location is actually a resources on its own. That is what made the British site the capital there in the first place! 1 Like |

DMerciful: Lol. I don’t go to extra length anymore in proving my point to an Igbo man. Even if I show you a video of the pronouncement that those cities were previously in the hands of the western region, you will still deny and tell me I fabricated it. This is almost 2020, I am using a different approach to situation. If you need a proof to a self-evident truth, go online and find it yourself and come here to counter my claim. Peace! |

While I agree you've spoken well in this post but the truth is that the Igbos want restructuring. If Igbos originally want Nigeria divided, they wont be investing in other regions. The Biafran declaration was forced on the Igbos when the were killed in thousands during the pogrom. This second declaration by IPOB is because of second class citizen treatment. But if you are not being mischievous, what is Igbo leadership Ohaneze saying? Restructuring or Biafra? LegendHer0: |

Again, you are twisting history. Awolowo said Nigeria is a mere geographical expression but Amadu never said that rather he said Nigeria is an estate of their grandfather Usman Dan Fodio so they have the right to use it as they please. You keep celebrating Awolowo but while he was alive, Yorubas were supporting Akintola. We always celebrate people when they are dead just like how Fela is being celebrated. I was well aware when Fela was alive, he never had this eulogizing LegendHer0: |

DMerciful: Bro no need of trying to be politically correct. If we conduct a credible poll now we will see that majority of Igbos actually desire a breakup from Nigeria. The reason why most of you migrate to other region is not only because you love one Nigeria, it’s because of your land size and your population as the third most populous ethnic group. Also, your land is not that good for investment and you need a larger and profitable market. Which explains why your most successful people made their money outside your region. Well even if it’s restructuring the Igbos want most, then they gotta let people know coz a neutral person will actually call you a liar for echoing the thought of restructuring as Igbos goals. Moreso, I think that world restructuring was actually pioneered by the Yorubas especially the Afeniferes. I might be wrong tho (I can research this more for its validity). |

DMerciful: Yes you’re right about Ahmadu Bello statement. I think it has to do with semantics, what I’m actually trying to say with that post is that both Awolowo and Ahmadu tried letting the world know that we must recognize our differences. Yorubas supporting Akintola? Haba bro what are you saying in a public forum. Most Yorubas during that era see Akintola as a Yoruba sellout and a northern stooge which explains why people don’t protest too much when he was dropped in the military coup. Awolowo was loved in his life and even in his death. Tbh Akintola has been forgotten from the media space and not much people can actually pinpoint Akintola contribution to the success of the Yorubas. Statistically, I don’t think I’ve seen even 0.5% of any post referencing Akintola in the media space or any governor of the SW talking about his ideology. That shows you Awo is greater than him in a million fold! 1 Like |

Yes..the Yorubas pioneered it but surprisingly when Igbos came on board Yorubas abandoned it. In the late 90s and early 2000s, all I was hearing from the West was restructuring but immediately Igbos said yes, let's restructure, Yorubas started having double mind. Afenifere says restructuring, Tinubu Osinbajo says its unnecessary! LegendHer0: 1 Like |
