It's actually Jonathan's gentleman behaviour that put us in this problem, if only he was more firm as a leader, people couldn't have rushed him.

Or maybe he doesn't know the power he has a President

Fact 3: Decree 34 did not do anything to Nigeria. That decree recognized the 4 Regions, their right to exist and control their resources and maintained the revenue sharing formular and fiscal independence agreed at independence. Contrast that to Gowons decree 14 a year later. Gowons decree 14 abolished all for regions, replaced them with 12 states, took away resource control, abolished the revenue sharing formular agreed at independence and reversed the fiscal policy. Decree 34 was never the problem, the problem was that Ironsi was Igbo. All those who said that decree 34 was demonic were they same people who a year later, cheered Gowons decree 14 that was a thousand times worse that Ironsi's decree 34. Total hypocrisy

Sir, it seems you don't know how decree no 34 came about
For your info, it's the most controversial decree.

Let me explain it down here.
Pls, read with open minded.




On assumption of power, General Aguiyi-Ironsi promulgated the Constitution (Suspension and Modification) Decree 1966. Decree No 1 dated January 17, 1966 but not published in the Official Gazette until March 4, 1966. He then issued Public Order Decree No 33 dated May 24 1966 which dissolved eighty-one political associations and twenty-six tribal and cultural associations.

At the early stage of his tenure, he appointed a three-man advisory team made up of Chief Francis Nwokedi, a Permanent Secretary, Dr. Pius Charles Nwabafor Okigbo (1924-2000) and Colonel Patrick Anwunah, who later became Chairman and Head of the Orientation Committee at that time.

He replaced the then Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Taslim Olawale Elias (1914-1991) with Chief Gabriel Chike Michael Onyiuke (SAN), former Director, Public Prosecution, Eastern Nigeria (1960-1965) from Nimo in the present Anambra state.

In a speech to the nation on January 28 1966, he denounced the evils of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa regime and outlined necessary reforms. ”All Nigerians”, he declared,” want an end to regionalism. Tribal loyalties and activities which promote tribal consciousness and sectional interests must give way to the urgent task of national reconstruction. The Federal Military Government will preserve Nigeria as one strong nation.”

He then went on to promise “administrative reforms” and referred specifically to several matters in which regional as well as personal interests were known to have had decisive influence. These were official appointments, public investments, and the universities. He promised that in the public services, efficiency and merit will be the criteria for advancement”. That industrial development would be “coordinated to avoid wasteful duplication of industrial projects”, and that the universities would be “re-orientated to serve the genuine interest of our people.”

Immediately after the speech two Governors kicked against the proposal. They were, Major General David Akpode Ejoor (83) from Ovu in the present Delta State, then serving as the Military Governor of the Mid-Western region and Major General Hassan Usman Katsina(1933-1995), who was then serving as Governor of the Northern region.

Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu (1933-2011), Military Governor of Eastern Region welcomed the decree while Lt. Col. Francis Adekunle Fajuyi (1926-1966), Military Governor of Western Region never commented on the promulgation of the decree.

Lt-Col Ejoor was reported as saying that the ’National Government’ set up by the army was the prelude to ‘the reintroduction of a unitary form of government’ and insisted that it would create future problems. Shortly afterwards, the Supreme Military Council announced that a senior government official, Mr. Nwokedi, had been asked to consider and to report to the Supreme Military Council on the establishment of ‘an administrative machinery for a united Nigeria’ and the ‘unification of the Public Services and Judicial Services.’


In his own speech on February 19 at the Kaduna Airport, the Governor of Northern region, Lt-Col. Hassan Katsina said he was not aware as a member of the then Supreme Military Council of the modalities for the proposed National Government. ”I am afraid the egg is about to be broken”.

On February 21 1966, General Aguiyi-Ironsi again addressed the nation on the issue. He said: “On the question of the political future of the country, the experiences and mistakes of the previous governments in the Federation have clearly indicated that far-reaching constitutional reforms are badly needed for peaceful and orderly progress towards the realization of our objectives. I have already touched on some of the major issues involved in recent broadcast to the nation. It has become apparent to all Nigerians that rigid adherence to ‘regionalism’, was the bane of the last regime and one of the main factors which contributed to its downfall. No doubt, the country would welcome a clean break with the deficiencies of the system of government to which the country has been subjected in the recent past. A solution suitable to our national needs must be found. The existing boundaries of governmental control will need to be re-adjusted to make for less cumbersome administration.’

As a follow-up on May 25, General Aguiyi-Ironsi promulgated the Constitution (Suspension and Modification)(No. 5) Decree 1966. Decree No. 34 (the ‘Unification Decree’).

After the promulgation, the country was thrown into turmoil which led to demonstration particularly in many parts of Northern Nigeria at that time. On his return to Kaduna on May 27, Col. Hassan Katsina was besieged with demands for an explanation. It was feared that in a unified service, Northerners would be at a disadvantage. It was no consolation that the Decree provided for the delegation of appointments and promotions, except the most senior, to Provincial Civil Service Commissions.

lol. Tbh I don’t pretty understand ami Yoruba much but I always understand any written Yoruba word by trying to translate not word by word but by line by line.

Saw this Oriki Amotekun lori ero ayelujara and I thought I should put it on here.

Oh! Alright then.

Ondo State

honeyB2018:
Ojukwu and Peter Obi which is more popular in Igbo land, yet Ojukwu lost to PDP. I'm not speaking for the Igbos, I have no mandate to do so. But all I. said previously, is about my very self.

Alright, I too I'm also speaking for my self.
So, my opinion doesn't mean I'm speaking for the SW entirely.

Last election despite the fact that Osinbanjo was on the ballot, Atiku/Obi got high votes

So, my opinion too.

Stay safe

Any person committing crimes in SW, be it Yoruba or not, will be dealt with.

pazienza:
Well, strong entities are better destroyed from within.
Nothing posses greater threat to a country than traitors hiding as patriots.

What am I trying to say.
To get Biafra, we must first and foremost control the political game in SE. This is where IPOB is failing.
This is the game Nigerians are using against Igboland today. We have traitors who bear Igbo names, manning all positions of power in Igboland, they shout Igbo presidency and emancipation in public, but their true allegiance is to Nigerian and their Arewa masters.

How about we restrategize and beat them at their own game?

Get involved in the political proceedings in Nigeria in Igboland. Plant men who are loyal to the Biafran struggle and answerable to IPOB but who would criticize and bash the struggle in the public to serve as diversion and curry favour from Nigerians, allowing them to trust them with sensitive post from where they could carry out the real assignment you set out for them . These men would work as undercover agents. You will have them man all important positions in Igboland from Governorship to ward councillors.
You do this, then you have gotten the first phase of the political rebuilding in place.

Now you guys are making sense.
I wonder why your fellow ones can't comprehend...

The only problem you guys can have with the above is natural Igbos gene.

You guys go still shout am, show am to the world that this is what you're doing when you get there.

Anyways, goodluck

honeyB2018:
If know me very well, you will discover that I am a sticker to whatever I believe in. Am not a turn coat. Peter Obi, as good as people may see him to be, is not my kind of politician, so why him.?
I have been voting for the same party since 1999, will still vote for the party come 2023, God keeping me alive.
That is me for you.

Yinmu keep deceiving yourself not me.

If Peter Obi decamps to APC and he's contesting for presidency

Majority of Igbos will vote for him, why can't they vote for PDP?

Abeq, close chapter

I miss the spoken English of mama peace.

Yobabad:
you forgot that 40 persent of the Yorubas now listen to him minutes their local Muslims group

It's percent.

Btw, is that what they told you in Alaigbo? ,

BlueRayDick:
Hear the nonesense this one is saying.

1. Who made you special adviser to all South west governors?

2. Have u called Buhari in Aso Rock to advise him on so many anomalies going on under his nose?

3. Hear him talking about the governor populist agenda because he listens to his people. Obviously He's saying the governor should take tough decisions and not mind how the people that put him in Power will feel......smh. The definition of Democracy as being " Government of the people, for the people and by the people " is definitely lost on him. I'm sure he enjoys the "constituted authority" approach to government adopted by the Broda Isiaka Ajimobi..

4. Maybe the governor was busy listening to his people and doing their bidding when u called looking for favors / contract.

5. Baba please let the young man take his time and focus on governance and stop whining. When his 4 years ends let his people decide his fate whether to reward him with another 4 years or send him packing.

6. For now bàbà go and hustle more in Ur law practice save money to buy Ur Governorship nomination ticket.

Don't mind him jare.

OP, edit the title.

Vocational not vacational..

I've seen this type in Kwara state b4, along ilorin road, can't remember.

I've been doing this for 5 years.. The first 3 years was hell.. so much struggle, embarrassment by secretaries and security men, trekking from one business location to another.. Finally I'm driving to offices and business addresses to get more clients...

Brilliant answer, that's what I wanna bring out.

Being an entrepreneur is not easy and all is not rosy..
The truth is, if there is no civil servants, there won't be entrepreneur.

Or those offices you do go, if they lose their jobs, will you get more clients?
No.

honeyB2018:
That is what am still saying. Why do that. It means you have no party at all. You voted Apc and have seen the result now.

Why do our politicians decamp?

I'm going to far.
If Peter Obi decamps today to APC, will you vote for him?

Is Osun governor better than Abia?

Traitors

Don't even go there .

We don't do shithole here

If this governor isn't carefull, he won't get 2nd term.
Unlike Abia

That not the full story OP.


Thomas arrived at a meeting of the council, all the other councillors, except Oba Adeyemi, stood up to welcome him. He rudely told the king “WHY WERE YOU SITTING WHEN I WALKED IN? WHY CANT YOU SHOW ME RESPECT?” Bode was 34 years. The Alaafin was in his 60s.T he Alaafin felt very insulted. he told Bode “SHEY EMI ON GBO MO BAUN? EMI NI ONGBO BI AJA MO BAUN{ IS IT ME YOU ARE BARKING AT LIKE THAT? IS IT ME YOU ARE BARKING LIKE A DOG AT LIKE THAT? KEEP BARKING.”

That was on 22nd November 1953. It was reported that Bode Thomas got home and started barking. He barked and barked and barked all night. Then he died. He died on 23 November 1953. He was Balogun of Oyo. He died without fulfilling his many potentials. Bode’s friends went on to reach the peak of their careers. Fani-Kayode died in 1995. FRA Williams went on to be Nigeria’s greatest lawyer. Remi Fani-Kayode died in the early 90s after a successful spell in the Legal Practice and in politics.

No,e mi se omo nna, Edo ni mi.

I've understand why you type Yoruba correctly.

It's nice sha

pazienza:
Because anything Igbo is hot cake, too many outsiders posing as Igbos to scatter things.

Those fights were not started by Igbos, they were started by impostors, some of who are even Yorubas and others from other parts of Nigeria.
They open multiple accounts and attack themselves with them while claiming to be from different parts of Igboland.
I know this because in face platforms like Facebook, where impostors are easily caught and flushed out, we don't have fights in pan Igbo facebook pages, starting from Radio Biafra to all Igbo states and clans page on facebook.

What you see in NL Igbo threads where a group of non Igbo psychos with multiple monikers scatter proceedings to create the impression of Igbos being disunited, is an aberration supported by those who control NL, because it serves their aim of traffic generation.

We'll, you're right.
But remember some of your brothers do start the supremacy battle at times.

I dey Radio biafra group, even I saw some Hausas and Yorubas there.

manuelreports:
All this Children on Nairaland this days. Their coment alone shows their age. Yorubas do surprise me at times, they don't mind Sacrifising their fresh and blood to continue ass licking their Northern masters just to enjiy crumbs from the table of Nigerian common wealth.

Both I and you knew that you asslick the Fulani more than the Yorubas

pazienza:
I don't know the Igbo lies that were busted. Igbos generally don't have time for Yoruba threads, Yoruba threads hardly move market on NL, even Seun knows that anything attached to Igbo is a traffic driver here.

Igbo threads started moving market around 2015 or so, when biafra saga came in..

And BTW, you guys are more than the Yorubas here.

OFFICIAL336:
No wonder the whole world calls you guys traitors.

No wonder you guys keep voting kerosene governor..

In politics, those politicians decamp.
So, what's new?

Once they know that in igbo land oo you guys will always vote for PDP, they'll quickly decamp to PDP.

pazienza:
Igbos got bored of the Yoruba thread. Because.
We have Four Igbo threads in Nairaland.

One for Abia
One for Imo
One for Anambra
One for Enugu
And the pan Igbo thread.

Obviously, the Yoruba one thread was always going to appear longer.
But in real Sense , combination of Igbo threads would prove the Igbo thread is longer.

I don't know the Igbo lies that were busted. Igbos generally don't have time for Yoruba threads, Yoruba threads hardly move market on NL, even Seun knows that anything attached to Igbo is a traffic driver here.

It's Only Enugu and Anambra that made it.

Even that Enugu thread was full of comments and talks
I preferred the Anambra thread, cos, pictures were displayed very well.

Having said that.
Remember we have
Ibadan development in pictures
We also have Pan Yoruba group
We have Akure pics
We have Ogun pics.


There was internal bashing on that abia thread.


I've you ever seen a thread of Any state in SW that's you'll see another Yoruba guy bashing the people of other states??

Nah only Igbos thread, e always happen.
And nah Anambra guys usually cause the fight.

OFFICIAL336:
Yorubas are too clannish.

SE votes whoever is on the ballot. Apart from shouting sophistication Up and down, there is no difference between Yorubas and North

Keep shut.

South East are one direction people.

Even if it's was Buhari that was representing PDP, you guys will vote for him cos it's PDP

pazienza:
Enugu needs no introduction.
It has the longest thread of any Nigerian city in Nairaland. :https://www.nairaland.com/979128/enugu-pride-east/120

Go knock yourself out on the thread.
Despite the FG sabotage to deny the city it's international status by constantly frustrating the International airport, the City marches on, like a city set on a hill, the magnificence of coal city cannot be hidden by any evil forces in Nigeria.

I wasn't there, that's why
Even the thread was full of talks and comments

Can we now say Yorubas won this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/3918290/yorubas-most-industriousrichest-educated-tribe

Cos it has the longest thread against it Igbos counterparts

Even on Igbos own, lies were busted.

You can request for the link.

You can't list 10 fun centres in Enugu

Putting Enugu and Ibadan in same sentence is an insult to Enugu. The difference in class is miles apart.

You wanna compare Enugu to Ibadan
