Way Forward Yoruba People by johnserek: 5:26pm On Sep 07, 2015 |
LETTER TO MY YORUBA BROTHERS AND SISTERS Regional government, resource control only way forward for a wealthier black nation Nigeria is a time bomb on the loose, the oil and gas we depend on is facing its greatest risk since discovery, it’s now readily available and alternative energy sources are fast being developed coupled with the fact that there’s a slow growth in developed nations it’s high time Nigeria diversify. With the current political structure Nigeria will suffer if it fails to restructure itself, the truth of the matter is that unlike before oil is most likely not to rebound the factors of today are very different from the past, So what is the way forward, I support a union of Nigeria, its share population gives in economic prowess other African nations can dream of, the heterogeneous nature of its citizens produces an interesting culture. But the truth is if we want to remain one and not break due to poverty is to restructure our selves along tribal and ethnic lines with full resource control, true federalism and a unity based on mutual agreement and if any region feels it does not want to be part of the union it should be free to leave and relinquish all the benefits of being in the Nigerian union for maybe ECOWAS benefits if it agrees to be in ECOWAS. Nigeria should be restructured into six regions Western Region – comprising of all Yoruba/Yoruboid speaking group across Lagos to Delta and upwards Kwara and Kogi Eastern Region- comprising of all Igbo speaking group across all south east and Delta, Rivers . Should they want to secede they should have the right not to be in the Nigerian Union. Middle Belt - comprising of all Northern minorities excluding those with affinity to the south North west- Comprising of all Hausa- Fulani caliphates North East- comprising of all Kanuris and environ Each region should share the same currency with ability to select who it wants on its currency, build its own seaports and airports subject to best practices, and determine its own level of income, educational standards, 100% resource control with an agreed percentage contributed to the centre. The Centre will produce a president t that will have soft powers in regards to foreign policy , minimum standards in various spheres. Military which will comprise of equal number of ethnic groups? This way Nigeria will be on full auto mode and it will stimulate competition among each group. Should Nigeria want to operate unitary system we might as well just not exist it makes no sense existing as a tribe and being limited by a forceful union.

Again you have created a fraudulent post claiming to be Yoruba even when it is evident you are a Biafra boy desperate to create acrimony between SW and North. You lie, ibo boy, you have failed woefully. If you like go and create a dozen more fake profiles to dish out ibo propaganda, your ibo sense won't work here. |

All I see is the lamentation of a Biafran. The YorubaS do not mind sharing the VAT from Lagos with a Kano that do not allow the sale of alcohol. |

An interesting piece. Unfortunately, Yorubas are followers of Lord Lugard, and as such, will not appreciate what you wrote. It is funny that Yorubas and Igbo who barely knew each 200 years ago have by accident of history found themselves in one country and the average Yoruba will say we are 'one'. I had a Yoruba friend called Bankole, we used to work together. The day I told him in conversation that I support my fellow Igbos having their own independent homeland of Biafra, he accused me of sedition, treachery,treason and seeking war. He asked me why I would want to divide a great country like Nigeria. I told him that Lord Lugard is not enough reason for me to give up my sovereignty and that a country should be by the free will of the people and not by force. He got up and left and has not talked since then, this was almost two years ago. I have since come to the conclusion that self determination is not a priority of the Yoruba people |
