Aareonakakanfo: Ibadan veteran keh, school lo gbe mi lo si Ibadan o. We both have that habit. I'm always on the look out for ogufe joints and I'm always known there after like 3 visits because of my love for meat - mi o kin se wobia o. If you're in Lagos, there's this buka around Fela's Shrine at Alausa/Agidimgbi axis. If you find yourself in that area, ask people around that area for civil service union lodge if you don't already know the place that is. Ibadan is a very sane place to reside. The rapid emergence of lounge sprouting across Ibadan and the population of chicks makes it a place a young bachelor would love to waste sometime away. Men babes too much for that city - oloso and regular girls. 1 Like |

CONCLUSION The preceding discussion shows that the operation of Nigerian Federalism since 1960 has not yielded meaningful socio-economic and political development. Instead, half-hearted practice of federalism has resulted in over-centralization of fiscal and political power, creation of un-viable and federally dependent State and Local Governments, military intervention in governance increased corruption, ethnicity, and intense minority agitations over oil revenue. We have acknowledged that the aforementioned problems of federalism all have their roots in the 1914 amalgamation of Nigeria and colonial rule as a whole. However, while it is fruitless to resist the argument that the imperialistic motive behind the amalgamation made it more of a liability than an asset, it is also farfetched to hold colonial rule solely responsible for the near-failure of the Nigerian project. To lay all the difficulties of federalism in contemporary Nigeria on British imperialism is to suggest that inter-group relations among pre-colonial and post-colonial Nigerian peoples have been completely cordial and harmonious. The point is that, the British colonizers left Nigeria fifty years ago, enough time for the Nigerian state to institute a concrete national agenda and strategy to remedy the defective federation she inherited from the British towards achieving genuine national integration and development. Therefore, the failure by the various post-independence Nigerian leaderships to evolve an equitable mechanism for the distribution of political power and economic resources is at the root of the Nigerian problem. There is an immutable nexus between the desire of Nigerian peoples for equitable access to power and resources on one hand, and the plethora of obstacles to federalism, on the other. Thus, the prospects of genuine nationhood and development in Nigeria lies in a swift adoption of true federalism, not the type that super-imposes unitary tendencies and contradictions on the practice of federalism. The problems of federalism in Nigeria would start to receive proper attention only under a truly federal system of government and the great potentials of the country would be best realized within the framework of true federalism. Some segments of the Nigerian federation are genuinely afraid of a return to true federalism as they view it as a prelude to the break-up of the country. But on the contrary, a true federal structure will consolidate Nigerian unity. It will give each nationality a breathing space and sense of belonging, allow for healthy competition and an opportunity to develop according to the ability and resources of each federating unit. A lopsided and unjust federal arrangement does no one no good, ultimately, as the bitter experience of Ethiopia and the defunct Federal Republic of Yugoslavia have shown. Those who are currently opposing a return to true federalism in Nigeria should know that they are laying land mines for future generations. Well-meaning Nigerians must collectively resist this. In conclusion, since the National Assembly and the Presidency have continually displayed lack of political will to effect fundamental structural and institutional reforms in the federation, calling a Sovereign National Conference will be a good starting point. In this regard, I propose a six-region federal structure anchored upon the subsisting geo-political zones of the country. This should be complemented by clear-cut constitutional arrangements that would guarantee adequate fiscal and political powers for the regional and local governments to allow them operate as viable units of administration, rather than mere appendages of the central government...ciao |

superstar1: Let me tell you something you don't know, they are not TOLERANT of differences, while serving, we knew better than wakaing aimlessly on fridays, dressing in too tight clothings & male & female corpers maintain a respectable distance when walking together, cos little things set them off. In addition to ritchiee 's submission, they are united cos THEY ALL SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE... There is a reason for the word "Miscommunication" & "Misinformation ".... There are more than 200 languages & dialects in the south, help explain how the unity can be forged! ! 1 Like 1 Share |

Ritchiee: Who instigates the mumu killings? The same elites. WHy? For selfish reasons and persona interests. Why are the majority of them gullible? the same elites ensured they do not go to school and usually cloud their reasoning with religion that promotes being subservient to whoever is in a position of authority, even if he is a devil. Most often than not, the elites are the problem and not the everyday people. 2 Likes |

modath: They do not speak the same language. Their language is more diverse than the south. They only have a lingua franca which s Hausa and pidgin is ours in the south. They also have a sense of unity because they all believed they are at a disadvantage individually as a group and their strength lies in their collective stance as Arewa. They are tolerant of differences if the elites and religious leaders do not instigate them. All the northern crises have their root cause in their elites or religious leaders instigating them. It is very rare to see a spontaneous attack just because of one hot head commoner. DO not get me wrong. I am just making us to be objective a little. We do not have to be stereotyped and believe everything we have been hearing. |

As per them Oloso,of course its the same mawffughs who roam about during the day running things in the night as well In Lagos,Dem shinanas are the ones running things.They own the Oloso industry and their population is huge Chances are Its shinanas running things in Ibadan as well Shinanas are the romani version of Olosos but you know they will always tower above their Yoruba counterparts in that aspect |
Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Nobody: 1:19am On Nov 10, 2015 |
quimicababes: So they're in Trini as well? Na wa ooo.I'm telling you these folks are just messing up the whole planet honestly and its unfortunate because there are few intelligent/good ones among them but they're in the minority so they are powerless I see them protesting in embassies as well.They usually have some red !dd!ot as the poster boy of the protest Inferirority complex at its peak There are just so many reasons why the hate hasn't turned violent yet,Its still verbal for now But with the way they're going about things, the future is not looking bright for them in Yorubaland |
Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Nobody: 1:32am On Nov 10, 2015 |
Aareonakakanfo: Their protest were peaceful man...made news on one of our local channels...one of the guys even cried self .Nothing wrong with them bringing to light their struggles but the way they are going about it...it makes you question if they are intelligent....but yea Trini has more Igbo-Naija folks than the other groups.Once we no go hear dt them own and control 70% of Trini economy and shit...I dey kool lol . |
