Cjrane2:
How much did northerners gain from confiscating all the Igbo properties and funds in the bank and giving them only 20 pounds?

Yet, they are still riddled with poverty.

Just tells you there is God ooo!

Stop trying to divert the issue of discussion.

This is about 20 pounds given by the FG to the Biafrian returnees.

20 pounds will feed you for 6 months at the time.

You don't come out of a war, and expect everything to return to normal as if nothing happened.

obailala:
My grandfather is my source, he lost his entire wealth after the war.

At least the 20 pounds enabled him to have a fresh start. Tell me, if it were today, will he get anything.

The truth is he will end up in some IDP camp.

No disrespect to your granddad. Just stating the obvious.

In law. restitution of this kind need no be adequate but sufficient. The FG at that time did sufficiently enough for the Igbos.

The financial situation at that time was that there was no money anywhere in any bank to pay anyone. ACB was dead. Those who had their money with Standard bank and Backlays bank with their documents got their full refund.

Most of what you people have been told were lies concocted out of a bitter spirit due to the terrible losses that came with the war.

A Plan B decision that denied the Yoruba people there electoral choice- Zik. The Yoruba know why they in their wisdom decided to vote in Zik's group.

And we all know why Action Group convinced Zik's allies to carpet cross after Zik's group had won.

I have never seen nor met anyone in Yorubaland who supported Zik becoming premier. Just because he won election in his Lagos constituency does not amount to winning election in all of Yorubaland.

igbodefender:
Nobody is crying foul. What's done is done. But we all know what happened, even though we sometimes pretend we don't-Zik won the 1951 Western Region elections.

The carpet crossing denied him the mandate the Great Yoruba People gave him. And I shall always respect the Yoruba's for that, whatever you may say.

He won election in Lagos constituency. It was not a presidential system. The parliament is responsible for electing the premier. They took what they thought what they thought was the best decision for the people and we have never regretted it.

loveth360:
you escape the slavery of azikiwe and his people and trapped inside hausafulani slavery.what a run away from scorpion and run to snake.

You call others slaves because you have a slave mentality

igbodefender:
Go wash your rude mouth! Nobody wants to take your region from you, but the truth remains the truth- take it or leave it!

Your own truth not the real truth.

igbodefender:
We both know the West voted for Zik.

It was not presidential system. It was parliamentary. Azikiwe came to the parliament as a representative of the Lagos constituency that voted for him. There was no law that said he must be premier. He lacks popularity and acceptance outside of his constituency.

Igbos should stop crying foul.

Rotimik:
In the 60's it was very difficult for a westerner to get a job in any organization headed by a Igboman, so the Yoruba people decided they were going to take their own destiny into their own hands.

We built University of Ife, the best in physical infrastructure since that time till date.

We built industrial estates in Iganmu, Ikeja, and over many other areas in the western region. Foreign and local companies started occupying the estates providing jobs for our highly qualified youths who were left behind in the scheme of things, just because we were not at the centre.

Imagine where we would be today had we made Zik premier.

Yorubas don't resort to violence to correct perceived injustice. We did not even protest.

We took positive actions. Create jobs.

Dedetwo:
Why are most Nigerians bent on be uneducated? It is unfortunate that certain peeps especially Yari.ba tend to swallow hearsay as factual facts. There was no time in history of Nigeria that Awo advised Zik to take the position of Prime Minister.

Another revisionist historians detected..

igbodefender:
How do you know? Or because something doesn't suit you, you label it as concocted!?

Revisionist historians of the 21st century are trying to rewrite our history.

Rotimik:
This assertion that the coup was meant to make Awolowo the Prime Minister was, never a part of our history. It was concocted. An afterthought.

...by revisionist historians.

The idea that Awolowo was involved in a coup was unknown in the military. Only the politicians had such idea at that time. This explains why the northerners treated Awolowo very well after his release from jail. They knew it was all an hoax.

Also that the coup plotters did what they did in order to make Awolowo Prime Minister was a modern creation. A face-saving effort at justifying their actions This was unknown for decades in our history.

People should stop trying to revise our history.

igbodefender:
You are talking of the cross carpeting. Why didn't Awolowo just let the parties alone after the election?! Awolowo usurped the mandate of the Yoruba people by breaking Zik's coalition.

Yoruba that voted for Zik's list were not fools. They knew they could easily vote him out him if he tried any nonsense.

It isn't about Awolowo.

The people chose to put their own destiny in their own hands.

Ovamboland:
Where was Paul Unogo whne the Ibo union and Ibibio union was formed? When others congregate on tribal forum, that is not the beginning of tribalism? When other people in Northern region and Eastern region have a firm grip on their own regional elections that was never the beginning of tribalism. It only becomes tribalism when Yoruba insists that what obtains in other regions must be applicable in the West.

Don't mind him.

I don't understand why people of other ethnic groups likes throwing unnecessary jabs at us despite the fact that we have always been accomodative of them all.

Atonto:
So....Ogbeni Ralph is still a Gofunor...Chai, d guy don humble oo

Governor Raid Aregbesola is outperforming most southern governors. Stop talking about what you don't know.

seguntijan:
The South-south and southeast people are just blushing on this. This is an evident that everyone has been finding how to associate with the Yoruba.

LONG LIVE ODUDUWA NATION.

Let's stop these ethnic jingoism.

stanluiz:
Will this southern unity work?

There is nothing bad with trying

stanluiz:
My friend shut up why do you want southern unity with se/ss . I thought you people pledge loyalty to buhari northern apc.

You need deliverance from ethnic jingoism.

Opakan2:
If they like, they should take spaceship to space for meeting.

It's the people that will vote not governors and we Yorubas have seen our real enemies during GEJ's tenure.
No one can cajole us with hate speech or force any candidate down our throats so any alliance they form with our enemies won't stand.

No Southern alliance will ever work. Yorubas are bigger than that

The it's enemy of progress from sw spotted.

legitnow:
Wat is this use of this meeting?

Yoruba dey shame say SS/SE have governor forum?

Stay on your own. Nothing good can ever come from this, aside the usual back stabbing and betrayal.

Igbo will never accept a Southern Nigeria with Yorubas, let that sink into ur cone head.

Enemy of progress spotted again

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO:
oro lo fe gbo.

Nnamdi azikiwe sold you ibos to perpetual slavery of his hausa masters by shamelessly deciding to become an errand boy to tafawa balewa despite Awolowo's overture for a southern solidarity in the first republic. Alex ekweme furher confirmed your status as slaves to your hausa overlords by being a house boy to shehu shagari in the second republic.

You ibos are 10th class citizen in Nigeria. The weeping boy of Nigeria. Ibos are the sacrificial goat used to appease the gods of Nigeria.

Most Igbo commentators on this forum only have a large heart but a small brain.

In a multiethnic country like Nigeria, you cannot achieve your political goals alone without alliance with those who can help you get there.

Azikiwe did it to Awolowo then, and many Igbos on This forum still want to continue with the same mistakes that are responsible for their predicaments today.

Imagine the outcome of this forum resulting in Fiscal Federal Restructuring. Everybody will benefit, as each region will discover their true potentials.

I don't understand why some dullards here are complaining about the forum.

legitnow:
Many Governors from both SS/SE were not present for this mumu show of shame.


It is not a Governor forum but a summit of Southern Governors.


I hop Yorubas are happy now.


U have got the pictures u wanted, now leave the SS/SE alone.

Alaniyiokorausa:
they should just be careful with Yoruba Muslims among them, because what ever they discussed in the meeting the slaves will report to their slave masters in the north.

It is your likes that promotes division amongst us. Shame on you.

stonemasonn:
Aqua Ibom can do better than this nah

Oil
states should treat oil money as windfalls, and invest it in other areas which would enable them to continue to generate revenue when oil money is no more.

DrGoodman:
No problem sar, just keep typing about your people and leave us to enjoy ourselves. Continue to rock with the north. We are doing well enough here and don't want your mention. If you lie against my people, I burst your lies. Your people are dirt poor but just love digging up thrash to feel good.

You shouldn't have come to this thread in the first place. Those who need the information provided here are happy about it.

DrGoodman:
Oh, that national bureau of liars

That's why the country will be stunted as you continue to dig up stunted lies

People like you who ignore facts will not act while others are doing something for their states. Don't just cry marginalization later.

Wether you like it or not. Nigeria forever.
