Rush By Ethnic Groups To Join UNPO Indicates Nigeria’s Federalism Isn’t Working by Newsmen101: 2:11pm On May 08, 2020 |
The rate at which ethnic nationalities in Nigeria are joining the Unrepresented Nations and People’s Organisation, UNPO, is a confirmation that the nation’s federal structure is defective and not working to meet the expectations of the federating units, a foremost journalist cum columnist, Chief Tola Adeniyi, has said. Adeniyi, who spoke in a chat with our correspondent, also described the move as a revalidation of the rejection of the partitioning of Africa and the forced amalgamation of different peoples and cultures in the country into a sort of weird marriage of inconvenience. Adeniyi was reacting to the admission of the Prof. Banji Akintoye-led Yoruba World Congress, YWC, and the Ralph Uwazuruike-led Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB as the 45th and 45th members of the UNPO respectively, also considering they are both Nigeria’s ethnics group. The UNPO is an international membership-based organization established to empower the voices of unrepresented and marginalized peoples worldwide and to protect their fundamental human rights. It was formed on 11 February 1991 in The Hague, Netherlands. Its members consist of indigenous peoples, minorities, unrecognized peoples or peoples of occupied territories.

A couple of unemployed noisemakers form an organisation then arrogate to themselves the voice of their ethnicity then claim yen yen yen, how some people carry their personal stories of tribalism and elevate it to national discourse must be one of the skills sets these unemployed noisemakers have. |

Stalwert:All you need to do to see whether what you call "their personal stories of tribalism" represent their views of the larger section of the people is to conduct a referendum. In every struggle there must be leaders or front men if you like, not everyone is going to speak at the same time but if you want to know whether the front men speak for the people, give the opportunity to voice out through a UN supervised referendum such as was done in South Sudan. |
