Tell him to show you anywhere in history where they so called Hausa fulanis ever have a fight with yorubas and win before hahahahaha

reactman:
we saw how yoruba were brave during the protest and not coward when oba of lagos palace was ransack, we did not see OPC or amotekun or any yoruba youth who put on any resistance and you are lying to ur self that the average yoruba man is not a coward. you said aboki have never won any war in this country, what about the conquest of usman danfodio, atleast history have shown that an hausaman dominate and conquered a yorubaland and dispose their king and crown one of their own. The old oyo empire was dominated and the people chased out of ibadan by the nupe for 100 years, it was when the nupe left the old oyo empire that her people return back. Let talk about the protest in lagos, it was a southern thing and you people say the south is united more than ever before, why did you people shift goal post when the protest went sideways and you blame the igbo for your woes, and you are trying to convince your self that the yoruba are not coward, oh least i forget when OPC try to take ilorin back from the fulanis, what happen to them?, you can find that out for your self. yoruba are coward and betrayer, when the tip of the scale does not benefit them, they move to the next scale. I prefer an igboman over a yoruba man, AN AVERAGE igboman is not a coward and is brave, and will stand his/her ground for what he/she beleive in, even if the whole world is against them but same cannot be said about the yoruba man. OMO YORUBA THIS IS MY LAST REPONSE TO YOU.......

Let the northerners group themselves. Naim sure pass

obaaderemi:
You are right. Ghana doesn't have a problem with ethnicity like we do in Nigeria and I think they are less corrupt. But something is still terribly wrong with their socioeconomic condition. Almost all African countries look the same when you visit or see pictures or videos of them. Almost all are poor. Some, like Kenya, are even starving. It's even a miracle Nigeria is not worse than it is- mostly due to the efforts of its citizens.

obaaderemi:
Na wa o.
Really, Ghana has a lot of opportunities to develop. They don't have the kind of problem we have with our northern part. And they don't have a very large population. They really should be doing very well, like a kind of Hong Kong. But you know, Africa is Africa. There seems to be something wrong with Africa. Look at South Africa too. In spite of all the resources and population, it's still backward. Maybe if the White minority had allowed the whole country to develop together, South Africa would be like Spain at least. Look at Nigeria too. Don't even talk about Kenya where people still look like stone age folks and starving.

Princedapace:
This guy here is one of the worse politicians in Nigeria.

Bro, if u are reading this, understand that Social Media is not the problem, okay.

Politicians failed to develop our educational system over the years. Our pry and secondary school systems are already dead. These two are extremely important for any country! As a result of poor educational systems, we have many illiterates roaming the streets and many half baked educated citizens roaming up and down!

Politicians refused to create an enabling environment for business to strive in Nigeria. Many people are jobless and hungry!

We have population growth that does not correspond with our development! This here is time bomb!

Our politicians use thugs to win elections and hire thugs to fight protesters! They are left abandoned to roam the street and are source of chaos at anytime!

Our politicians play extreme game of tribalism and nepotism! Tell me how Buhari is so comfortable to have almost all the security heads headed by one region, excluding another major ethnic group! Your president and politicians have used ethnic game to finish this country!

Politicians have refused to work on the constitution to reflect true federalism. U cant have diverse ethnic groups and run a unitary system of govt, it doesnt work. It cant end well.

Oga politician, should I list more and more for u? These are the real problems of Nigeria and not social media or the youths!

U cant shut people up when u all have refused to behave well as politicians.

High population + high rate of illiteracy + poverty = Atomic bomb

Make una sorry, if u guys dont fix the above listed issues within the next 10 years and Nigeria keeps producing kids at this rate, sorry, it will be worse, worse, worse, worse. In fact, a time will come when ur kids abroad as a politician will be hit hard by angry Nigerians! Una think u can use security to threaten the people!

U all have seen that the security cant handle simultaneous chaos. Not possible!

Toks2008:
Is this not why we are asking for restructuring?

The South depends on the North for farm roduce, Nigeria as a whole depends on Niger delta for oil...

Staro:

Sorry, but you don't even understand what
RESTRUCTURING implies

ensamy:
The are working on our brains. Please , the entire SW, SE and SS must unite behind one candidate that has strength to challenge the Northern political dominance. This destructions that has affected mostly every states in the South and especially Lagos must keep us united. If we fail to unite we are doomed again in 2023.
Please, unity Unity Unity is our watch word. Only Ahmed Tinubu can challenge them. They have denied bringing in the soldiers. Who then commanded them.
Please unity is our strength come 2023. Tinubu will not sign water resource bill. But another Fulani President will. I am not from SW but I now understand now we need Armed Tinubu. Orji Uzor, Peter obi , Wike etc can't match the North in 2023, but Tinubu. My fellow brothers from SW please protect him and don't destroy his reputation.
He is the only one now in the entire south that can match head to head with the North.
God bless all Southerners.
One Love.

birdman:
I beg to disagree Baba - taking out the IBB/Abacha combo and moving to an OBJ democracy was not a small feat for that generation. Even driving past SSS HQ back then, you couldn't even look at the building, that was the level of fear. Back then even big men were not exempt - if you were non-military, anything can happen.

Today's youths have cell phones, which allowed them to communicate and we can see whats happening real time. By the time govt realized what was happening, it was too late to stop them. Back then, communication was via newspapers and TV, which govt could clamp down on, then use divide and conquer to tribalize everything.

Internet has also been huge - now youth can see what obtains in other countries. Even when you try to go to fellow African nations and you see how they treat your passport, you return home with even more anger. Back then, most of us didnt really know how far behind we were.

The biggest one that no one is talking about is the covid lockdown. It had the same effect in the states - restricting movement for that long allowed people time to stop being distracted and focus

If there were cell phones at the june 12 riots, things woulda been different, most likely Nigeria would not exist.

Ezmans:
the boys mc oluomo & tinubu put on the road to collect money have destroyed Lagos

oluwatosink:
The destructions and violence are still going on in the country.
What are the solutions to the end of the crises we are currently facing.?

What do we want??

Ifesinachi22:
For Buhari's insensitivity: History might repeat itself:

As military head of state in the 80's buhari was overthrown by his military colleagues specifically because of his insensitivity/tribalism, sectionalism; refusing to listen or take advice, impunity, injustice and failed policies.

Fast forward to 2015; Buhari was repackaged and sold to nigerians as a changed democrat by Tinubu and co.

But as soon as Buhari came to power; insensitivity to nigeria's diversity; nepotism, impunity, constitutional violations, failed policies etc became hallmarks of his administration.

All those who advised him to toe a different part were routinely derided and abused by a president who refused to listen.

I don't want to be that guy, but if you study the events of 1966 and compare it to now, there are just too similar to ignore

The chickens are now coming back home to roost. If Buhari is removed as is seeming increasingly likely, history would only have repeated itself.

Buhari is the worst president in nigeria's history

leaculpa:
Nowhere. This country is going nowhere.
You can see how theyve already used tribal talk to scuttle any change. North/south. All the young northerners are supporting their tribe. Everything will keep rigmarolling like dt no matter who the president is.

No hope for this country. As amaechi said 'Nigeria is hopeless'.

Toks2008:
Please revert to my post on restructuring on page 1 to understand better.

Toks2008:
LOL! not at all, no need for that cos there will be freedom of expression,interraction,and establishment, it is just about comforming to the rules in that region.

The six regions are the best template.

Tonitoniton:
We all saying the same thing. He will pull out but the fulani will still come back and promise him Eldorado and he will continue with them only to find out he has been scammed again.

The northerners knows that the south will certainly be divided when they work along these lines.

The south can only have such power if they can speak with one voice.

Nchenches:
All figments of your imagination for BAT president - surreal. It’s easy said than done.

Anyhow, we are now after dismantling that imaginary “block vote” thing of the north created by proliferation of too many states and local constituencies in northern Nigeria. Land mass is never used as criterion for creation of new federal units like states and local government areas in a country formed by different regions.

Stop worshipping illegality. Nigeria’s 36 states and Abuja political structure is a huge fraud. Do the Math - if you have the head.

Tonitoniton:
Yea yea

I knew it will come to this

Tinubu made a big mistake support the terrorist in aso rock.

he and other muslims in the west has not learnt their lesson from the Kwara issue the saw fulani taking over power in the midst of westerners.

Fulani will always use and dump them any time and day till they learn their lesson that is if they will learn..

Buhari next action towards Tinubu will lead to restructuring or break up of Nigeria.

Tinubu will not go down with out a bloody fight.

Tinubu no be Jonathan.

Blackmiserable:
There is no resources to manage bro. If you travel to Kaduna City, it is no different from Owerri or Abeokuta or Ilorin or Gusau. It is only some parts of Lagos and Port Harcout and Abuja that is a bit different. Most parts of Nigeria are basically stuck at the same level with the same levels of resources. If this one has only Orange, Garden egg and banana, then this one has only rice, beans and maize.

Kingscee:
We move

Nchenches:
In political restructuring, if equal number of representatives are picked from the 36 States + Abuja to the conference, we are likely to get back to the political structure we already have, perhaps with tiny cosmetics changes.

Having equal number of representatives from the 3 regions that formed Nigeria at independence to the political restructuring conference should be the right thing to do.

flokii:
It is evident you don't know our history and genesis of our problems in this country.

Over and over, Pa Awo invited people like Azikiwe to work together but was betrayed times over by the Igbos who prefer Hausa/Fulani because they feel they can easily manipulate the Northerners which is false.

They called Yoruba betrayers, slaves etc. simply because we supported PMB but the same people see themselves as saints backing Atiku (a Fulani just like PMB) cos he chose their son Peter Obi as running mate. Are those the kind of people you want to trust? Seriously??

I see them as fellow country men quite alright but not people to forge any alliance with.

flokii:
Don't ever say that again!

Which population don't we have? What is the total population of Igbos??
Yorubas are five times larger than Igbos in population. One Yoruba state (Oyo) is equivalent to the whole of 5 South East states combined. Now take those in the remaining 5 SW states of Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti and compare with them. We have large number of Yorubas lumped up with North in the Middle Belt who are clamouring to reunite with SW. Who know SE??

My dear friend, you better wise up and smell the coffee.
The Igbos are only interested in Presidency which I doubt they will ever get in this generation. Should they by chance get it, they will place a ban/decree like death sentence for anyone that mentions restructuring again, simply because they are in power. It's then people like you will realize you've been played all along.

flokii:
We have our representatives in the National Assembly and elites to push for restructuring. It has nothing to do with alliance with any SE!

Let them face their biafra or referendum or whatever while we focus on what will benefit us in South West
