Only IDIOTS take Reno serious!

gidgiddy:
I read what Reno Omokiri said about Decree 34, Decree 8 and the Aburi accord, and wonder why this guy keeps pushing out false narratives? Is he such a poor student of Nigerian history or is this deliberate?

Reno Omokri said that Ironsi abrogated Regional rule, seized the resources of the Regions with Decree 34, the same old lie that has been told for decades. Why cant Reno Google Decree 34 and read what is in there? There were 4 Regions when Ironsi came in, the same 4 Regions were there the day he was killed, so which Region(s) did Ironsi abrogate? Decree 34 was nothing more than a civil service decree, at no time did Ironsi tamper with the boundaries of the 4 Regions that existed at the time, nor did he deny them resource control

If Reno wants to know who really abrogated Regional rule in Nigeria, let him Google Gowons Decree 14 that abolished all 4 Regions Nigeria had,and created 12 states in their stead, as well as Decree 15 that ended resource control of the Regions

The Reno Omokiri pitifully tried to defend Gowon over the Aburi accord, claiming that Gowon had to renege on the Aburi agreement because Ojukwu announced the agreement first, rather than let Gowon do it. Has this Reno guy lost his senses? When you sign an agreement, it becomes binding, who announced the agreement first is irrelevant

Ojukwu signed an agreement in front of the President of Ghana, General Joe Ankrah, the three other military Governors of the time also signed, but the reason Reno is giving why Gowon could not implement what was signed was that on return to Nigeria, Ojukwu announced the agreement first?

Reno Omokri is a laughable character

U said it all!

proeast:
The story went like this, before the war the Igbo dominated the economic work force followed by the Yoruba, when the civil war started, Igbo, for their safety left their jobs in different parts of the country to return to the East, the Igbo land. After the end of the war, the Igbo went back to seek for their jobs that they left for security reasons, the Yoruba who took advantage and occupied the positions that Igbo left decided that they will not relinquish those position because according to the Yoruba, Igbo abandoned their positions and do not deserve their position back, reminiscent of the abandon property thievery in Port Harcourt River State and Lagos.

However, a dynamic developed as Igbo every morning dressed up and went and occupied the lobbies of their different offices that they used to work in. Tell me, if this is not manifest bravery of the highest order ever exhibited by any group in Nigeria and we are talking about days and weeks immediately after the war was declared over. But the final say as to whether or not the positions that Ibo left for dire life was going to be declared abandoned rested on the British that owned these companies.

As the back and forth went on, the British started angling to make an economic decision because they understood the difference between the Ibo worker and the Yoruba worker and the three years of the civil war made that difference even more crystal clear to the British, if not, why would the British bother to accommodate the Igbo after such a long time? What became clear to the Yoruba was that the British were willing to make extra provision to re-absorb the Igbo any way possible.

Yoruba was not ready to tolerate any of that because they knew that it was a matter of time before the wheat will be separated from the shaft that Igbo will assume their prominent positions. In order to prevent the British from re-absorbing the Igbo into these British owned companies, the corporate Yoruba decided to solicit the help of Awolowo who was then the finance minister and chairman of the federal military council.
This is where a plan was hashed to wrest the control of these companies, consisting of banks, insurance companies, corporations of different kinds and types from the British.

The best way Awo and his cabal found fit was to convince Gowon and the military leadership who in all probability have never had the word indigenization in their lives to promulgate the INDIGENIZATION DECREE in 1972 that stipulated that every foreign owned venture must transfer majority ownership to Nigerian indigenes within a year of the promulgation of the decree or they will forfeit the assets of the company to the Nigerian government. (Emphasis within a year) As expected, the British were caught off guard, not understanding the motive behind the policy, the British thought it was a dream or a joke that will go away, particularly given the fact that they just won the war against the Igbo for the Yoruba and Hausa.

After exhausting six months out of the one year in their bid to reverse the decree, the British became frantic and concluded that they could not reverse the decree and went about trying to salvage whatever they could. What was worse was that the British did not even have enough time to evaluate the worth of their ventures because of the limited time the decree allowed, courtesy of Awo and cabal. The situation gave chaos a new name because the British were in chaos. So the first problem the British ran into was limited time that they couldn’t figure what the value of majority of their ventures were, they could not tell how much to sell them for.

Mind you that this was happening within a year after the end of the civil war. At this time the Yoruba was running every conceivable federal ministries, departments and agencies plus all the corporations listed above and more that the British owned. It is important to point out that the North had little or no presence in the commerce economy of the country before the war and after the war except in the military leadership and infantry.

The economy of the country was dominated by Igbo first and Yoruba second before the war. In order to solidify the economic dominance that the Yoruba attained during and after the war and to make their position even more potent in acquiring the British spoils, Awo as the finance minister and chairman of the federal military council and his Yoruba cabal decided to economically emasculate the Igbo understanding


a) That Yoruba was fully running every conceivable federal parastatal
b) That Yoruba was running every conceivable corporation that the British owned or had majority ownership as listed above.
c) That Yoruba was managing all the Nigerian banks, insurance corporations, National shipping line, Nigerian airways, Nigerian’s Ports authority, Nigerian Railways and all the ministries, Departments and Agencies conceivable.
Decided to destroy whatever was left of the Igbo and putting a finishing touch to it by
a) Stealing through confiscating all the millions of pounds that Igbo had in all the Nigerian banks
b) Offering every Igbo person £20 pounds regardless of how many millions they had in the Nigerian banks before the war.
c) Militarizing every part of Igbo land.
d) Rendering every Igbo without exception a pauper.
e) Banning every importation of stock fish and used clothes to deprive the Igbo of any economic ability to compete with the Yoruba in buying into the British assets.

[img]http://junglejournalist.files./2012/10/lagos11.jpg?w=630[/img]

When that day of infamy arrived for the British to start selling their assets, Igbo having been disenfranchised and emasculated in any and every way stood on the sideline watching the Yoruba in their glee as they scrambled to obtain loans from their Yoruba dominated banks to make the most minimal of offers to the British as there were no competitions. The British had no choice but to accept any offer as the alternative was losing everything to the federal government.

The British lost pretty much all their investment to the Yoruba whose stock in trade is robbing and stealing any and everything they can get their hands on. Thousands of Yoruba became millionaires overnight and there was jubilation and owanbe all over Yoruba land. Yoruba had parties day and night and weekends. They closed streets to display their new found wealth as they partied. That day marked the economic death of Nigeria, that day marked the death of Nigerian’s aspiration to join the civilized world.

The implication was enormous and it sent a shock wave throughout the Igbo land, It was a dark history day, it was a day of manifest wickedness and viciousness, Igbo was dumbfounded, the days that followed were days of economic, social and psychological morose and confusion that are still lingering today within the Igbo. It might be hard to accept but Awo got the Igbo good and the country as well, he brought the Igbo to his knees economically at least temporarily and Igbo has never recovered from that one blow seven akpus in any appreciable way but Nigeria as whole is worse off for it. I believe that what was more devastating was that Ibo had no place or body to turn to. To be blunt, Awo decapitated the Igbo leadership and threw Igbo into great confusion.

It is important to note that by this singular act of INDIGENIZATION DECREE engineered by the Yoruba, the Yoruba de facto constituted the new economic foundation, the sole owner and manager of Nigerian economy without any rivals. So, for those that have wondered why Igbo became traders, this is the why. The Yoruba will not let any Igbo near the management of any of these stolen corporations, will not let Igbo buy any shares of these corporations for decades following the heist.

Now, some people without the capacity to comprehend the full seismic implication of this economic shift and restructuring will want us to believe that this does not matter and I will beg to disagree because it is like everything else, the foundation of everything matters and determines the success or failure, be it a house or business. As time has revealed, Yoruba stealing and forming the economic foundation for Nigeria was a bad idea and a monumental disaster.

For the ignorants, all things being equal (in a fair fight) the Yoruba knew it, the British knew it, the Igbo knew it and the world knew it that the Yoruba did not possess the capacity, creativity, drive, perseverance, hard work and the competence to do what some are crediting to it if they did not conspire to steal not only from the British and Igbo but from everybody else that had any assets in Nigeria.

The apparent dominant control the Yoruba has on the economy since after the war was not out of great honest smartness or creativity or innovation or hard work or competence but out of share robbery of the British and Igbo sweat and hard work. I believe that the question that the benign ignorant should be asking going forward is what did Yoruba do with all these assets and corporations that they stole. How did the country fair under the Yoruba management of the Nigerian economy? How did the Yoruba managed economy relate to today’s economic malaise? Hope they can make the connections......

Totally agree with you!

Nwodosis:
Aburi Accord remains the permanent solution but it is good as we all chose to live on its denial.

Totally agree with you. Gowon is a perpetual ACCORD BREAKER!

PointB:
Decrees are just what they are - whims and caprices of some power drunk men.

Which means, the fellow who issues a degree can effectively abrogate such degree if it is evident that it may not be favourable to his intended design.

To hinge your hope on a decree issued by a man who will not honour an agreement, is not in my opinion, pragmatic. Decree 9, 10, or 11 can effectively erode the supposed benefit of decree 8.

People should not be rule by decree, not matter how 'well-meaning' they might initially sound.

Where is Gowon to save them?

Awesome question! They have benefitted from environmental degradation and air pollution, destruction of their waters & land.

gidgiddy:


Now ask Boro's people what they have benefited since states were created? Are they any more empowered? Now the federal government controls their resources which is worse than when it was the government of the Eastern Region that controlled the resources

Few Questions:

1) If Ironsi abolished the regions, how many regions did Gowon meet when he took power after the death of Ironsi in the July 1966 counter coup?

2) How many governors attended the Aburi Meeting with Gowon in Aburi, Ghana?

3) How many regions did the governors represent and what were the names of the regions?

seanfer:
Ironsi abolish the regional government. But here you are twisting the hisatory.

Absolutely! You aptly & eloquently described him.

The transcript of Adeyinka Grandson’s speech on the Interpretation of the Constitution of Western Nigeria.

Introduction:

I would wish to say a big thank you to the LA Law Library in California, USA, for making available to the Young Yoruba for Freedom (YYF), a copy of the constitution of Western Nigeria, which was first enacted into law in 1952; amended in 1963; but suspended by the Ibo in 1966. Since then, our lifespans have been miserable as Yoruba people.

Thank you to the YYF members in the United States of America, for working assiduously to bring us a copy of the Constitution of Western Nigeria.

Thank you to the YYF donors for funding the public course of actions of the Young Yoruba for Freedom, particularly my legal fees and personal expenses to carry out the function of the YYF as its President.

A big thank you to the YYF Director of Research and Development for the work on the Interpretation of the Constitution of Western Nigeria and to the Constitutional lawyers who provided their services to the YYF.

A great thank you to the YYF Media Team for working on our campaign and reaching out to 130,000+ viewers in the last 20 days.

Thank to all members of the YYF in Yorubaland, North America, Western Europe, Middle East, and in Asia as well as in the continent of Africa. We must get down to work to build on our weapons of choice - chemical and biological weapons to safeguard and protect our civilization and the generation yet unborn.

Thank you to everyone else, including the leaders of the YYF -the Vice-President, the Director of Intelligence and Cyber Security, the Director of Communication and others. Our movement has done so much to change the course of history in Yorubaland. We must finish the work and bring home the bacon in 2023.

Yoruba Political Boundaries:

The Constitution of Western Nigeria proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the 1914 amalgamation is not the cause of our problem.

The Constitution of Western Nigeria shows that the Yoruba nation used to be an independent state until the Ibo used organised violence to suspend our Constitution and imposed on us the unitary system of government that has rendered Yorubaland poor and wretched.

The Constitution of Western Nigeria shows that Yorubaland as an independent nation was split into five administrative authorities:

1. Regional Authority.
2. Provincial Authority (States).
3. Divisional Authority (LGs).
4. District Authority (Wards).
5. Native Authority (Headed by Baales).

The Constitution of Western Nigeria shows that the Regional Authority was led by the following leaders:

1. The Ooni of Ife as Governor of Western Region (now Head of State).

2. The Alaafin of Oyo as the President of the House of Chiefs and members of the House of Chiefs (now House of Obas).

3. The Premier and his Cabinet Ministers.

4. The Speaker and members of the House of Assembly (now Yoruba Parliament).

The Ooni of Ife; the Alaafin of Oyo and members of the House of Obas; the Premier and cabinet ministers; and the Speaker and members of the Yoruba Parliament, all operated under the Regional Authority.

The next authority after the Regional Authority was the Provincial Authority, which we called state today. There were 9 provincial authorities during the regional government.

1. Oyo Province.
2. Ibadan Province.
3. Abeokuta Province.
4. Lagos colony.
5. Ijebu Province.
6. Oyo-Ife Province.
7. Ondo Province.
8. Benin Province.
9. Ilorin/Kabba Province.

The Ilorin/Kabba province voted in 1955 at the district council and town council levels to be united as part of the Western Nigeria. The results of the referenda were given to Balewa/Zik coalition government. But because they were not Yoruba people, they refused to merge the Ilorin/Kabba province as a part of the province of the Western Nigeria. We have included them as of right in this category.

The next authority after the Provincial Authority was the Divisional Authority, which we called the local government area today. There were 22 divisional authorities in Yorubaland during the regional government under the chairmen.

1. Oyo Division.
2. Osun Division.
3. Ibadan Division.
4. Egbado Division (now Yewa).
5. Egba Division.
6. Remo Division.
7. Ijebu Division.
8. Ife Division.
9. Ilesha Division.
10. Ekiti Division.
11. Owo Division.
12. Ondo Division.
13. Okitipupa Division.
14. Afenmai Division.
15. Benin Division.
16. Delta Division.
17. Epe Division.
18. Badagary Division.
19. Ikorodu Division.
20. Ikeja Division.
21. Ilorin Division.
22. Kabba Division.

The next authority after the Divisional Authority was the District Authority, which is called ward today. There were over 100 districts under the councillors.

The next authority after the District Authority was the Native Authority. There were over 200 native authorities under the Baales.

The Western Nigeria as an independent Yoruba nation had five political boundaries as of 1951 which I have explained above and further listed below as:

Regional Authority (1).
Provincial Authorities (9).
Divisional Authorities (22).
District Authorities (over 100).
Native Authorities (over 200).

Nigeria as a Republic:

The Ibo nation, with nothing in common with the Yoruba nation, used organised violence, assassinated the Yoruba leaders and then suspended our constitution with Decree No. 34 and made Nigeria a Republic in 1966. They then divided Nigeria into 36 states from 4 regions and introduced the unitary presidential system through the power of the guns.

The Ibo nation created the Nigeria of today - corrupt, disorganised, hopeless and a complete shithole.

The Yoruba nation having no guns in the 60s, appealed to the Ibo nation and the Fulani nation to ensure a return to Nigeria as a federation of 10 regions. The Yoruba spoke through Awolowo in May 1967. But the Ibo and the Fulani refused to allow for a return to Nigeria as a Federation under the parliamentary system based on the regional government.

Since the suspension of the Constitution of Western Nigeria, the Fulani has taken over the entire control of the Nigeria’s state with the backing of the English Establishment.

The Fulani through organised violence controlled the Nigeria’s state vis-a-viz:

The Police.
The Armed Forces.
The Judiciary.
The Prisons.
The National Assembly and its parties.
The Intelligence Services.
The Senior Civil Service.
The Border Control.
The Church.
The Mosque.
The Traditional Religion .
The Monarchy.

All serving to preserve the control of Nigeria by the minority Fulani with the backing of the English. The huge economic consequences of this is that since 1966, the Yoruba nation has been subjugated by the Ibo on one hand and the minority Fulani on the other hand and has been unable to meet the 17 sustainable development goals to develop Yorubaland, including:

1. Poverty.
2. Hunger.
3. Good health and well-being.
4. Qualitative education.
5. Gender-equality.
6. Clean water and sanitation.
7. Affordable and clean energy.
8. Decent work and economic growth.
9. Industry, innovation and infrastructure.
10. Reduced inequality.
11. Sustainable cities and communities.
12. Responsible consumption and production.
13. Climate action.
14. Life below water.
15. Life on land.
16. Peace and justice/strong institution.
17. Partnerships to achieve our goals.

The issue of ethnic power, therefore, remains unresolved amongst the three major ethnic groups of Nigeria.

For instance, the Ibo nation wants the continuation of the unitary system and as such supported the minority Fulani to control the presidency of Nigeria so that the latter can help the former to keep the unitary system.

The Fulani nation, a minority, wants to retain its control of the presidency of Nigeria as well as the unitary presidential system, therefore, it enlisted the military support of the English to keep the presidency of Nigeria.

Nonetheless, the Yoruba nation, the majority ethnic group of Nigeria, wants a return to the regional system of government in order for them to be in the driver seat of their own development, growth and sustainability.

To make things worse for the Yoruba nation, the half-Ibo and half-Yoruba people are reluctant to engage with the implication of acting against the collective interests of the Yoruba nation and by default give consent to the subjugation of the Yoruba people because of their divided loyalty.

It is, therefore, obvious that ethnic power remains unresolved amongst these three major ethnic groups of Nigeria and the option of organised violence on the part of the full blooded Yoruba citizens remains the most viable option to defend the glory of the Yoruba nation.

The Ibo nation and the Fulani nation have been intransigent about the need to devolve power back to the ethnic regions and for Nigeria to return to be a Federation.

The Ibo and the Fulani objected to:

1. The devolution of power back to the regions.

2. The decentralization of the police, armed forces, judiciary, intelligence services and public service.

3. The Yoruba control of the presidency of Nigeria since 1959.

4. A peaceful dissolution of Nigeria.

5. A new constitution for Nigeria with a provision for a secession clause to be enshrined in the new constitution.

6. The use of fingerprinting technology to conduct census in Nigeria among other things.

The Ibo and the Fulani want the continuation of the unitary system in which the wealth, resources and the revenues from taxes collected in Yorubaland are used to fund the economic growth and development of their respective regions.

The Ibo and the Fulani are planning to go to war as well as to continue to kill the Yoruba leaders and people like they have always done since the 60s.

It follows that the Young Yoruba for Freedom (YYF), is leading the young Yoruba people to embrace organised violence with the use of chemical and biological weapons to defend the Yoruba civilisation.

We have decided the weapons for the expected war, the theatre of warfare and our allies.

The weapon of war is chemical and biological weapons because the minority Fulani and the Ibo have seized our waterways and seaports and using our ports to bring in conventional weapons they have stockpiled to continue to kill us. Our best alternative is to ensure that the young Yoruba goes back to the laboratories to develop chemical and biological weapons to defend our civilization.

The theatre of war is Lago state - the cash cow of the Fulani and the Ibo. We have demanded that the young Yoruba blow up the Lagos International Airport, the Lagos Stock Exchange, the Apapa Wharf and the Tin Can Port complex.

We are lobbying the United States of America, the State of Israel, the Federative Republic of Brazil, Portugal, and others to support our course of action and come to do business with the Yoruba nation.

Tinubu Presidency:

There are plans underway to weaken the prospect of Tinubu to become the president of Nigeria from 2023.

The minority Fulani and the Ibo are aware that Tinubu supported the decentralised democracy in which he would devolve power back to the federating regions. They know that Tinubu will end the sham monthly allocation system, including the security vote and constituency allowances to the Governors and the National Assembly members respectively. They are concerned that Tinubu might enshrine a new constitution with a secession clause. They know that Tinubu is pro-Yoruba first and last. They know that Tinubu has the state of mind to break up Nigeria along its natural boundaries. They would wish to end his life the way they ended those of Awolowo and Abiola.

We are the generation that will change the course of history and ensure a full blooded Yoruba in the person of Tinubu as the president of Nigeria from 2023.

Whilst we support Tinubu as the president of Nigeria, we however do not support zoning. The Yoruba as the majority in terms of the population of Nigeria and the economic backbone of the country should always produce the president of Nigeria.

In America, for example, there is nothing wrong with President Trump, a Caucasian has another Caucasian as a deputy. But the Ibo and the Fulani will never accept Tinubu as the President of Nigeria with Fashola as the Vice-President because of the differences in our ethnicities.

The refusal of the Ibo and the Fulani to accept two Yoruba as the President and Vice-President of Nigeria means that there is nothing like One Nigeria. We are not One and we will never be One.

The Ibo calling us One-Nigeria will never accept two Yoruba as President and Vice-President respectively. The Fulani saying that Nigeria is not negotiable will also never accept two Yoruba as President and Vice-President. The solution to the issue of ethnic power play is the devolution of power to the federating regions.

The Ibo must learn to stay in Iboland and make it great. The Hausa and Fulani must learn to stay in their area and make it great. The Yoruba wants to make their region great and not interested in living, working or getting an education in Iboland or the North.

Thank u for such insightful & objective REBUTTAL. This one na mini-RENO!

immortalcrown:
Did you do basic Economics in secondary school? Cost of living is not higher in those countries because cost of living is measured in relation to tper capita income. What is the wage per hour in those countries? Minimum wage in Nigeria is ₦30,000 per month, which is less than ₦145 per hour. Do you earn as low as this per hour in those countries? You are quick to say that ₦1,500 can get breakfast and lunch in Nigeria. But are you aware that it takes more than 10 hours to make that amount based on 30k as the minimum wage in Nigeria? So, how many hours will you work in a day in Nigeria to afford the third meal (dinner) for the same day and to settle other daily expenses?

Your comparison is wrong. Explain why a Nigerian who works as a driver in those countries affords the high cost of living in those countries and still affords to buy land and build houses in Nigeria but university lecturers in Nigeria struggle to pay rents in the same Nigeria. Many lecturers in America enjoy higher standards of living than lecturers in Nigeria. Many pensioners in Nigeria slump while struggling to get their pensions. Does it happen that way in those countries? A soldier's salary in Nigeria can't transport him to his village and back to his duty post within the same Nigeria. Does it happen in those countries? Explain these situations if you think your comparison is right. Have you also looked at the balance of payments in those countries and the countries' foreign reserves? Compare them to Nigeria's balance of payment and Nigeria's foreign reserve.

The countries you compare to Nigeria import almost every raw material they use in production. Nigeria has almost every raw material. Why can't Nigeria process the raw materials in Nigeria, make the finished products cheap for Nigerians and also export the finished products? Those other countries import raw materials from Nigeria and export the finished goods to the same Nigeria but you are too blind to understand the situation. The cost of living you praise in Nigeria is mediocrity. Cost of living can be way cheaper in Nigeria if Nigeria is as prudent as the countries you compare to Nigeria.

Don't compare countries that are not equal in terms of natural resources and population. Your logic is like using the price of cement in countries that import cement to justify the price of cement in Nigeria that is naturally blessed with cement. Nigeria has cement and the cement is this costly. Imagine what will happen if Nigeria doesn't have cement.

It is this your logic that some people used to justify increase in fuel price during Buhari's regime. Those people just said fuel was costlier in many other countries. But they didn't explain if those other countries export crude oil like Nigeria. Nigeria has crude oil and fuel is this costly. Imagine what will happen if Nigeria doesn't have fuel.

Even if cost of living is higher in those countries, have you considered lower availability of natural resources in those countries? Yet, those countries manage to build better roads, better hospitals and better schools for you. The leaders of those countries do not waste or embezzle their resources as much as Nigerian leaders do.

But in Nigeria, there are more natural resources, no good roads, not many good schools and not many good hospitals. Imagine what the cost of living in Nigeria will be if Nigeria doesn't have much natural resources and if Nigeria has good raods and steady power supply. Nigerian leaders waste or embezzle Nigerian resources.

In conclusion, Nigeria is worse than those countries. No good roads, steady electricity and water, but house rent is very high.

Totally agree with u!

PussyOdour:


The self acclaimed Giant of Africa will continue to be underdog to other African countries.
With the abundance of wealth God has blessed Nigeria with, Nigeria should be in the league of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, but see Nigeria dragging position with the the likes of Sao Tome and Principe and Djibouti, even Somali is miles ahead of this cesspit. In terms of Killing and abuse of human right, the failed British experiment is dragging place with Afghanistan .


Nigeria the only country on earth ruled by useless noneñtities that are not fit to be house help to people. This failed contraption has a long way to go.

Nobody has moved on!

This is when the talakawa need them most

Have they forgotten their Uncle Dr Beko Ransome Kuti

Where are the offspring of Late Dr Bala Usman in this respect

And where are the Professor Pantamis of this world

That cried and prayed that the Jonathan administration should be changed

And what has changed today

And why are there no prayers to the Almighty that the poor should be rescued

The Lagos politicians have failed the people

They boasted that it is about brains and not brawl

This is the regime of the most educated people in Africa

What a paradox"

Do you agree with him? Same person that does not believe in the same country is now preaching a different gospel. He wants to use the victory of the team to score cheap political point forgetting that it didn't came with the criminal manipulation or fraudulent scheming as obtainable in his warped world.

This AFCON is the only thing keep and giving many Nigerians some degree of consolation from the myriads of problems and hardship currently plaguing this nation under this useless government.

Politicians are like chameleon, they can never be stable with their words. However, there is nothing wrong in a person changing ones opinions. The problem is when such a volte face is done because of selfish and wicked egocentric reasons even when it affects the country.

There is NO distortion here, but SIMPLY facts of history are being stated because I'm an OG with a vast knowledge of Nigerian history. I've been a member of NL since 2005 with an older moniker so I can completely give the sequence of events of what happened. Many of the young Ibo Peter Obi LP supporters used to be strong members of the PDP and they were the ones who launched vicious attacks online attacks for PDP against ACN/APC and other political parties even before the 2011 that you quoted on NL. In 2011 right up to the 2014 election cycles, these political and ethnic hate attacks escalated into the vicious back-and-forth being witnessed today. Even after the Ijaws of the Niger Delta had moved on after the 2015 elections, a lot of mainly young Ibos still carried hatred for the then President Buhari of Nigeria under APC control due to the Ipob vicious indoctrination and propaganda.


I CLEARLY stated in my post that you quoted that for over 20 years (meaning right from the 1970s to the early 2000s till now) a group of Ibos have always ENGAGED in criminal defamation, hostility and propaganda towards Yorubas, Hausas, Edos, Ijaws, Ikweres, Middle Belt folks and other Nigerians over the events of the exactly 2 years 6 months [30 months] Nigerian Civil War which lasted from July 1967 -January 1970. You are here bringing up links to Nairaland posts that were made in the year 2011 when infact these online hate speeches have existed long before then from the 1990s to the early 2000s and these facts would NULLIFY most of the weblinks you posted.


Long before Nairaland was created in March 2005, irredentist Ibo secessionists websites, Yahoo! Groups, and discussion forums were created in the late 1990s to the 2000s to INDOCTRINATE Ibo youths with hate towards other Nigerian ethnic groups and distorted historical events. I used to visit those Massob and other mushroom pro-biafra secessionist websites to read all the hate and outright lies or half-truths being churned out. Some of those websites from the early 2000s still exist in cyberspace with all the rabid hate those Ibo youths were spitting. These past online evidence going back to the 1990s will be used in the Nigerian OR international courts of law of it comes to that to combat these lies and hate-filled propaganda. Those secessionist Massob websites were the forerunners of the Ibo-owned Ipob hate speeches that started In the early 2010s before 2015 when GEJ left the scene.

You also have IGNORED or forgotten in your quick attempts to disparage some prominent folks that it was even a large number of prominent Yoruba folks and other Nigerians especially from the South who mobilized in Lagos and Abuja insisting that Goodluck Ebelema Jonathan must become the Acting-President of Nigeria after Yar'Adua became indisposed. Professor Wole Soyinka, The Save Nigeria Group of Tunde Bakare, Femi Falana, SAN, Yinka Odumakin and many other Yoruba pro-democrats rose up in 2010 when former President Yar'Adua was very ill to speak out for sustainable and true democracy which finally led to Goodluck Ebelema Jonathan's coming onboard as the Acting-President.

The reason Prof Wole Soyinka was upset and pained about former President Goodluck Jonathan towards 2014 as reported was NOT as a result of ethnic bigotry but simply because of the massive rise in nationwide insecurity as exemplified by the kidnapping of the Chibok girls by Islamist terrorists and the insecurity in major states in the South West due to the activities of Ijaw pipeline vandals in Arepo in Ogun State and the creek areas of Ikorodu, Epe, and Victoria Island in Lagos State who then turned to brutal armed robbers, killing, raping and kidnapping for ransom [including a first class Oba in Lagos was kidnapped].

It was when former President Buhari came onboard that he ordered the Nigeria Airforce jet fighters in 2016 [with the aid of reconnaissance aircraft], to bomb the many camp hideouts of the vicious Ijaw militants in the creeks of Arepo, Ikorodu, Epe, moving right into Ogun Waterside and coastal area and creeks of Ondo State to decimate them and since 2016 there has been peace in those areas. Professor Wole Soyinka was just one out of millions of Nigerians who where angry with the way Jonathan mismanaged corruption and maorly insecurity in Nigeria after so much hope was put in him, so he was voted out in 2015. So it was very wrong of you to single out only Prof. Soyinka for demonization when there were millions of Nigerians who felt Jonathan's performance was way below par in especially the area of security and wanted him out.

"Lagos State Politics"
It was the young lady named Sissie Yemi who posted an offhand sarcastic claim online about some Yoruba folks and facial looks or skin complexion during the 2023 election in just a tiny part of Lagos. I READ her original online post and it was worded differently from the FAKE news and fictitious lies being bandied around online by certain very notorious Ibos falsely claiming that Yorubas who were light-skinned and looking well-built were prevented from voting. This is the most insulting and ridiculous claim anybody can make! The Yoruba folks are more than 50 million worldwide and there are Yorubas with different shades of brown skin complexions from dark brown to naturally light-skinned.


NOTE:
General Alani Akinrinade and Saka the famous multilingual Nigerian movie industry actor and senior lecturer are two of the most prominent Yorubas who are naturally light-skinned and there are thousands of Yorubas who are light in complexion based on family genetics. Many other ethnic groups have light-skinned family members in every part of Nigeria. NO Yoruba man or woman would ever SEGREGATE his fellow Yoruba kith and kin based on light or dark brown body complexion or body build or facial appearance or say they should NOT vote! Rather, ID card verification or deep questions would be asked by Yoruba folks when conversing or trying to identify a person who claims to be a Yoruba or NOT. So, the fake story being pushed around by the propaganda machinery of some of the Ibos during the election cycle against the Yorubas who are a major ethnic group in Africa of over 50 million people who are indigenous to 4 countries in West Africa (Nigeria, Benin Republic, Togo, and Ghana via the Ga people and naturalized Yorubas of Ghana and even Cote D'Ivoire) will NOT stand. There are thousands of Ibos from Anambra, Imo, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi that I have seen from decades past who are NOT light in complexion but dark skinned, so skin complexion is essentially based on family genetic. I noticed though that parts of Imo and especially some Umuahia folks have this very light skin complexion but NOT all of them.


Some notoriously dishonest Ibos have formed a very vicious habit of throwing the first stone, while taunting others, then when there is a strong backlash or response, these people start shouting and playing the VICTIM. Unknown to these young folks, there is a vast documentation and digital evidence of every bad thing Ibos have posted for years online before even Nairaland was created and these would be used to knock the winds out of the sails of these criminal defamations, ethnic bigotry and propaganda. It is even shameful that these group of Ibos copy and paste false propaganda materials from those hate-filled Ibo owed websites, social media platforms and paste them here on Nairaland and they carelessly leave a trail of evidence of their defamatory activities online.

They are really teaching OBI A LESSON

G00dharddick:


But your brothers from the West said Obi is the problem of Nigeria and that they must teach him a lesson. So you didn't see when your kinsmen said this?

Even your almighty bayo onanuga has linked the recent protest which happened in the north to obi and Atiku that they are the sponsors. I thought you guys are teaching Obi lessons?

Indeed, they’re teaching OBI — and Ndigbo — a political lesson.

PrinceOfLagos:
Na hunger go kill those protesting bastards

Shebi we warned them before the presidential election that reinforcing APC will spell doom for this country, some of them said that they want to teach Peter Obi a political lessons. So whose feeling the heat right now hmm?

Tinubu and his family are in Abuja enjoying while you hungry motherfuckers are sleeping and waking up on empty stomach 😂😂😂

Dem go recruit una again when another election reach , you bastards 😂

All these under Bubu — Mr. INTEGRITY!

See u comparing Nigeria & Afghanistan & Syria— a country that should have become the #1 country in the world.

ogbonti:


Is Nigeria worse than Afghanistan ? Syria? Palestine or even Somalia? in terms of insecurity? or even poverty [FORGET THEM SAYING NIGERIA IS THE POVERTY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD - THAT IS BECAUSE OF OUR POPULATION of poor people - but these countries I mentioned above have nauseating poverty] Compare the migration rate from Nigeria to those countries - you will discover that our craze to JAPA is born more out of hate for our country and personal inferiority complex than just survival --- the bandwagon effect - MR A B and C don JAPA - na only me remain - when him return now with dollars him go come dey make yanga for me - I must travel too - that is 90% of the reason most Nigerians travel not because they have to travel to make it or live a good life [FACT]

OLODO RABATA!

EreluRoz:
Others wouldn't have done better, this is the bitter truth. We are not ready for the true change, you can't go and repackage a renowned thief and turn him to an overnight messiah and expect Nigerians to support him. Like I said we are all not ready for a true change.

Yes O! They called Jonathan all man are of names. Today, they dead silent like a grave.

JasonScoolari:
Tinubu promised to “Hit the ground running”
and he is doing so.

Hunger, Kidnapping, Killings, Banditry, Loss of Jobs, Insecurity, Corruption has hit the ground running.


Buhari made Nigeria the world capital of extreme poverty.... Tinubu has easily made Nigeria the world capital of “E bi pa wa”



Hypocrites that abused GEJ and called him unprintable names, they're now silent.
It is safe to call Bola Ahmed Tinubu an Incompetent Ineffectual Buffoon.

Can u tell me how Zik refused to allow the secession clause in the constitution? Was Nigeria under the leadership of of Zik as President or Prime Minister? Was Zik in charge of the constitutional process? Was Zik the secretary of Colonies which gave him the authority & power over the constitutional process? Did Zik decide what clause was allowed and disallowed in the constitution.

AgentOrange:


I am Igbo and to be honest, these questions should be directed to Nnamdi Azikiwe.

Azikiwe witnessed all that yet refused to allow a caluse for secession in the constitution.

That is why we have 'One Nigeria' today and all the clamour for Biafra is not yielding any results.

SO True!

gartamanta:


Let's assume all the above it true, then what is the point of 'one Nigeria'? You should bear in mind that if it is a question of who started killing who first and who responds in kind, the Northerners are guilty. The Kano massacre of 1945 and the Jos riots of 1953 are testaments of the Norths hatred for Igbos and this was long before the January 1966 coup. So, if being together means we have to kill each other, what is the point of 'one Nigeria'?

Noisemakers!

WealthyNigerian:
I LONG FOR THE DAYS OF WESTERN NIGERIA When Yorubas were allowed to Develop before they were manipulated because of Envy.

Many people, today, (including those in their 50’s!) don’t know this.

I long for the days of Western Nigeria Yoruba United Country (Federating Sub-Country before the True Federalism Law was destroyed in 1966). I long for those days when I lived in peace, knowing that I was well taken care of.

When my then Premier (Chief executive of Western Nigeria) - Obafemi Awolowo didn’t have to wait, every month, for Federal Government allocation, before doing for us what Development plans he had. That was when the white man, Europeans: Caucasian was completely demystify as a total Equal to Black Man. The Great Obafemi Awokow was always very bold to tell other African Leaders that saw white People as gods that "Africans and European have exactly same number of Brain Cells. Whatever a White Man has done, a Black Man can do even much more better."
This is much true because we were already much Civilized long ago when the white man confessed that they were still Barbarians. Truly, all Humanity agrees that Civilization started in Africa, not in Europe or Asia.

Awolowo proved all the above by motivating Yoruba Land during his reign as Western Nigerian Premier to become the first Ever in Africa to have Glass Production Company named Oluwa Glass, Tyer Manufacturing Company, Odua Textile Cloth Manufacturing Company in Ekiti, and many other Industries and manufactring Companies were established in Western Nigeria when such have never existed before anywhere in Africa. In fact, Yoruba Land had Telephone fully functional all over Western Nigeria when many European Countries such as Lithuania and many other have never even have such. They were still depending on Traditional Mailing System when Yoruba Black Africans were already using Telephones. Kwame Nkuruma and many other African Leaders saw what he was doing and were completely wowed! They were thankful to him and quickly followed in his footsteps to Develop their respective African Countries.

Fear soon gripped the Colonialists, knowing fully well that African Leaders have now been taught with clear and visible Proofs that we are not inferior to them at all. They knew that if nothing was done, Africa shall soon be as Developped as America, Germany, China, etc. And even soon surpass them because we have all the Natural Resources that the exploiters don't have. They soon found willing African Traitors that have always said "After God Almighty, is the white man." Africans that loved their Slavery mentality as Tools of White Man more than Real Genuine African Freedom. They got the deceiful African Leaders that are full of bitter cancerous Envy for the Genuine African Leaders like the Great Obafemi Awolowo, Kwame Nkuruma, Thomas Sankra, etc. They used the Greedy, Deceitful, demonically Selfish Manipulative African Leaders (that have no iota of Love for Africans) against our True African Heroes. Research History to see those demonically Selfish and Greedy African "leaders" (in actuality, Real African Traitors that were used to Cripple the Awesome Rising that Africa as a Continent was experiencing).

There was a time in this country when we actually had THREE COUNTRIES effectively within the country. And each country was RUNNING SMOOTHLY on its own. It’s like England, Scotland, and Wales (each of them individual countries in themselves, with their own flag, anthem, etc.) yet making up the country called Great Britain.

At that time, Western Nigeria was a COUNTRY on its own. We had our own WESTERN NIGERIA CONSTITUTION. Just like Eastern Nigeria (another country) had theirs. And Northern Nigeria (yet ANOTHER COUNTRY!) had theirs.

These three countries (just like England, Wales and Scotland) had a jointly-agreed-upon federal government which only took care of matters of COMMON INTEREST – like Defence, for instance, but was NOT a humongous task-master that keeps breathing down the neck of those Regions.

Yes, we called them Regions, but the truth was that they were DIFFERENT COUNTRIES which had decided to come together to operate a FEDERAL SYSTEM. A Federal System in which the REGIONS WERE THE MASTERS OF THEIR OWN DESTINIES.

Western Nigeria had a MINISTER OF EDUCATION (not a Commissioner) Eastern Nigeria had their own MINISTER OF EDUCATION. Northern Nigeria had theirs too.

Similarly there were all other MINISTERS – because these were COUNTRIES on their own. The Federal MINISTER OF EDUCATION was NOT in any way a superior to the Regional Ministers of Education. He simply supervised those educational institutions that were strictly owned by the joint Federal Government belonging to the THREE REGIONS – the THREE COUNTRIES.

*The 3 Regions actually owned the Federal Government, and not the other way round!* Just as the countries of West Africa, today, own ECOWAS.

Western Nigeria had its own FOREIGN EMBASSIES. We chose our own foreign friends. And they didn’t have to be the same countries that Nigeria at the Federal level related with.

There was NO unified salary structure. I remember Western Nigeria paid the highest civil servants’ salaries in the entire Federation! *It was one of the reasons there weren’t many Yorubas, relatively speaking, in the employment of the Federal Government!*

Our Igbo brothers on the other hand flocked to Lagos as their region paid far less than the Federal Government.

Because, what were you looking for in the Federal civil service, when Western Nigeria could pay more. It sounds too good to be true, but it’s not only TRUE, but, also, they don’t want you to know this TRUTH, so that you won’t long for those days, and so that they can keep you and your people in BONDAGE to this present Federal Government that is now alpha and omega.

When every other region (and the colonial masters too) thought it was IMPOSSIBLE to give free education to children, Western Nigeria said we can do it. And WE did it. Boy! Education became FREE in all PRIMARY SCHOOLS in Western Nigeria.

Most of us attended MISSION schools in those days, as there were only very few schools established by government itself.

But the free education given by Western Nigeria was to ALL children in primary schools. Yes, all children *So those mission schools, compulsorily, STOPPED charging fees! The Western Nigeria government (because it had control of its own resources and was NEVER in any way tied to the apron strings of the Federal Government) provided for ALL the schools – regardless of whether they were directly owned by government or not!*
That’s why many people think that my generation attended public schools. The truth is that, if public schools mean schools owned by government, there were VERY FEW SCHOOLS OWNED BY GOVERNMENT.

IN THOSE DAYS, and most of us actually attended schools owned by missions – churches. *But my dear Western Nigeria gave ALL OF US free primary education, whether in Government or Private Mission Schools* !

And they intended taking it higher before the Army truncated that system in 1966.

My dear Western Nigeria established the University of Ife. *Awolowo was not as parochial as those of recent years. He did not take the University to his place at Ikenne, Ogun State.* He could have done it then.

Now, go ask your elders what is meant by University of Ife. They will tell you that it is that University which struck WORLD-WIDE ATTENTION right from its inception!

It’s not for nothing that it’s called “GREAT IFE” From its very inception, it shot to the limelight *Professor Banji Akintoye,* a renowned historian, RESIGNED his position at the University of Ibadan (which had been established by the colonial masters after the pattern of British universities) to go to Ife! Ife was IRRESISTIBLE! Ife became THE STANDARD.

May God bless the soul and memory of *Professor Hezikaih Oluwasanmi* and his cohorts for bringing prestige to the Yoruba Nation

Because Western Nigeria had their Destiny in their own hands, and we pursued it with vigour, until they took away our patrimony from us!

The military struck in 1966, and, with one thing leading to another, they gradually TOOK AWAY THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE REGIONS and gave the powers of those regions to a humongous and behemoth *Unitary Government of Nigeria* that now CONTROLS OUR DESTINY.

They took the University of Ife away from us (commandeered it, military style) and made it a FEDERAL UNIVERSITY Go and ask those who know, they will tell you that that’s the day the UNIVERSITY OF IFE STARTED GOING DOWN.

They now sought to placate us, later, by naming it OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY. Na dat one we wan chop? *It is time now that we behind to act towards taking back our sovereignty!* We need to take back our property. We need to start the fight to get control of our own resources.

We are TIRED of your Nigeria that is suffocating us!

Western Nigeria established the FIRST television station in Africa. Even when the Federal Government did NOT have a television station! Officials of the Federal Government came (they were invited!) to come and watch when we opened the first television station in Africa, in 1959. It was named WESTERN NIGERIA TELEVISION (WNTV) and the first face ever, on television in Africa, was one of our mummies (who was a young girl at the time), *Anike Agbaje-Williams.* Western Nigeria caught the attention of the world They came later, and took away WESTERN NIGERIA TELEVISION from us, and they named it NTA, which now call themselves the first and largest television network in Africa.

The so-called Federal Government controlled by Northerners soldiers took over our patrimony. This was sadly but naively aided by our own *Chief R.A. Ogunlade* , the then Federal Minister of Information

The Unitary Government of Nigeria took over our Liberty Stadium and other icons of our achievements as a proud Yoruba Nation.

It is fact of history though that our brethren YORUBAS in uniform were naive and got carried away by the fake promise of a United Nigeria. Their antelope was sadly in bed with the hyena of the Fulanis. Very sadly indeed to have been akimbo while their Northern colleagues got away with cunning deception.

Now that the fake Federation has turned out to be a Unitary Government of Nigeria, the time is nigh to start the quest to regain the Yoruba Nation.

The time is nigh.

GIVE ME THE OLD WESTERN NIGERIA.

MAY ALMIGHTY CREATOR BLESS YORUBA PEOPLES ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH WISDOM TO FOCUS ON DEVELOPING AND SECURING YORUBA LAND!

Akin Fapohunda.

They wish their Mr Bulabalu who is a complete Olodo can sit down and articulate facts,data and figures like Obi does but if you a dunce,you are simply a dunce.

You can't give what you don't have.

Obi will always be your nemesis and your problems. He will keep on making you lose sleep shooting your blood pressure higher and higher

Let me remind you Bulabalus's again in case you have forgotten.

Obi isn't the cause of the current multifaceted poverty plaguing Nigeria. It was caused by Mr Bulabalu and we shall keep on dragging his ass till we kick him out of power in 2027.
