Let the game start we knew who put the blames of their faliuor on someone else .If Yorubas are not powerful !!! Is it to the level of Igbos. We knew who resulted to insult, violence and Hatred when the game is not in their favour. Later they will come here to blame someone else for the unrest and killing that is going on in their region. Yorubas are mentally and morally stable that is why The South west is the mother of this nation .

That may be so but that opinion will never stop Yorubas from trying to continue moving forward progressively whatever the state of Nigeria.

We won't start killing each other and destroying our land because of agitation for an independent nation that may or may never come.
i did not ask you people to destroyed your region like the our landlocked dotians brothers oo, i only quote you when you said building this expired contraption called nigeria....
nigeria is dead long time ago...

Some ppl here seems to be kind of rousing anger against any southern support of tinubu by there comments deriding Igbos , trying to sow hatred between the two groups , I sense it from there comments and replies, it is coordinated and are probably abokis
You're very right! They normally use divide and rule tactics to sow the seed of discord between the two groups. We should be wary of their antics and not fall for it.

The crisis that brought down the First Republic started in the South West. Likewise, the regimes of Buhari in 1985, Babangida, Abacha and even Goodluck Jonathan were all upended by forces from the South West.




Don't downgrade us we don't shout we got what it takes for power... Education & money & civilization & hospitality & accommodation & news to decompose bad president e.t.c

I noticed the coordinated baiting and replies and I sensed this is too organized to be random , the important thing right now is for the power to be taken away from these set of anti Nigerian elements using the so called north as a cover , my prayers is that the incoming president charge them for treason

I responded appropriately. Nigeria may be "dead" and beyond redemption according to many Nigerians including yourself.

Yet that will not stop Yorubas retaining the optimism that Nigeria can work. To that end they will continue trying to do the right and progressive thing.

Not at all. Oduduwa Republic is poorly supported by Yoruba political, business and elite class.

There is no hypocrisy with Yorubas as is the case with Igbos regarding their Abaribe situation.

Yoruba political and business leaders have always made it clear they support a fairer, restructured and truly progressive Nigeria.

A Nigeria where every State and region will be allowed to make progress commensurate to their natural endowment and the effort they are willing to put in to harness their potentials.

Yorubas, more than any other ethnic group, understand that diversity is productive strenght in most other nations of the world but Nigeria.

The reason diversity is strength elsewhere but not Nigeria is our inability to manage it well. Let everyone define their space in respect to their peculiarities and Nigeria will thrive.

The whole 'one Nigeria' thing is unsustainable but Nigeria can be a progressive nation if we acknowledge our diversity and use it as a platform of growth and development by merging ethnic diversity with the socio-economic autonomy that will allow every one of us to define our corner of Nigeria as we wish.

For example, the Government should let ND control the proceeds of their oil and pay an agreed tax to the centre.

It does not have to be immediate either so as to give others the chance to put their house in order. Implementation date can be set 4 years from now. In that time, every State and region must wean itself of dependence on federal allocation derived mainly from sale of crude.

Unfeasible States should merge with bigger State to reduce recurrent administrative cost and the duplication of offices that ultimately made recently created States, cut from others, doomed to fail.

Niger Deltans can then have the freedom and cash to develop their States and region as suited to them. If they fail, their problem. At least we would have gotten rid of the notion that others are holding the SS and ND back.

All in all, there is a lot we can do to make Nigeria work. Simplistic noise of seccession being the panacea is misguided and myopic because we have the many parasitic, barely feasible and beggarly States of Nigeria to show us what is likely to come if Nigeria is balkanised into many small nations.

Northern leaders are conservative, lacking innovate thoughts and resistive of change.
Yet clever Southern leaders wil know that teaching a man or State to fish means weaning that man or State off the addiction to free fish.

It is the only way forward for Nigeria. We acknowledge our difference and liberalise socio-economic processes that will help us all get the best out of our geographical space within Nigeria.

Okay we already saw how Awolowo won the three elections he contested in.

Same as Ojukwu. In the 20023 presidential elections, Obasanjo defeated Ojukwu in all the 11 South East and South-South states. Obasanjo even defeated Ojukwu in Ojukwu's home state. You should be ashamed of yourself because Awolowo never lost election in any Yoruba state.

Makes perfect sense. But a few questions.

States were created to douse agitations of oppresion and marginalisation by groups who were in setups with more dominant ones. Reducing the number of states partly solves the fiscal issue but also aggravates a longrunning political problem.

Also, by the logic of states looking up to the center being an issue, more states means more diverse opinions and autonomous groups to seek out new ways to generate income.

And ND develop themselves... how ? Still based on 13% ? Or same Awolowo tactic of FG needs to lead the development drive so take away their 55% derivation and 45% offshore?... cos that's what they had till Gowon's govt took that away, spearheaded by his Finance commissioner Awolowo.

How do u intend to let the ND develop itself ? Any renegotiation of the revenue formula ? Because oil sales will still contribute the bulk of forex receipts even with diversification (due to the size of the industry). How honest is the intention ?

Lastly, how did u come to that conclusion on northern leaders? U mean the ppl in charge now, or all northern leaders as a whole (IBB Abdulsalami Gowon Atiku etc ?). And if the ppl in charge.. arent they ur allies ? It's now a fad to vilify or use northern leaders as the stickman for all that is bad...

A Yoruba president is a good thing, but how is it any different from another Northerner or someone from the middle belt, Igbo or ND ? Given that there's agitations from Yoruba and Igbo land, isn't that a sign that neither group should be trusted with leadership?

Stop ranting.


Lagos Is not yoruba land.

Do you mean like how Onitsha and Nnewi are Benin’s Land and how Nsukka and Enugu are Igalaland and how Oyigbo is Ogoniland ?
