Biafra: Yoruba Leaders Calls For Restructuring Of Nigeria by Earthkumy(m): 2:21pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
Prominent Yoruba leaders yesterday called on President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently consider restructuring of the country as a way out of its lingering national crisis. The leaders also urged the president to roll out a comprehensive economic plan to rebuild the country infrastructure, reflate the economy,create massive jobs and raise the standard of education in the country. In a communique issued after their summit in Akure, the Ondo State capital yesterday, the leaders appealed to Federal Government to look into the causes of separatist feelings and agitation by the Indigenous people of Biafra(IPOD) for a Republic Biafra and initiate constitutional reforms to give a sense of belonging to all constituent units of the country. The summit which was entitled, Economic Downturn and Unemployment in Yorubaland, noted with regrets that the activities of nomadic Fulani cattle rearers continue to constitute a menace to the host communities. Prominent leaders who attended the event included Gen. Raji Rasak, Basorun Sehinde Arogbofa, Bishop Bolanle Gbonigi, Ayo Adebanjo, Ambassador Yemi Faronbi, Gani Adams, Chief Olu Falae, Kunle Olajide, Yinka Odumakin, Chief Reuben Fasonranti, among others. According to the communique, “ While acknowledging the realisation by the Federal government that the mono product economy has collapsed within the context of dwindling oil revenue, necessitating the diversification of the economy in order to create new corridors of prosperity, states that this would be impossible without changing the 1999 constitution which prevents the federating units from exploring the resources under their soil. “We calls for a meeting of Yoruba states Governors with leaders of the nation to fashion out an agenda for cooperation that would leverage on the economic strength of each state to create a conducive atmosphere for entrepreneurs to tap into the resources across states that could empower our people to float businesses that can engage our millions of unemployed youth. They are enjoined to pay particular attention to SMEs and the tourism potentials of the region in creating jobs.” www.leadership.ng/news/481940/yoruba-leaders-calls-restructuring-nigeria 1 Like |

Why can't yorubas initiate anything on their own. Always hiding under other tribes to say their maind. So if not for this strong Biafra protest, they would not have known that Nigeria needs restructuring. Can't you people open up and air your views instead of waiting for Igbos to be in the fore front. We don't fear no body and think the Hausa know that it's only the Igbos that challenge them anywhere anyday. The problem with southern Nigeria is lack of cohesion caused by fear. Proudly Igbo. Waiting for mod to hide this post as usual. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Balkan:The truth is nobody take ibo serious! Ibo are insignificant, irrelevant and above all, parasites to the country at large! Why do you think Buhari or any prominent leader in government haven't voice out his/her opinion on your stup!d biafra despite all the protest made by Biafra as opposed to when Yoruba cried out secession when Chief Falae was kidnapped! Did you notice the agitation in the north the moment yoruba cried out secession? To tell you that when the king of the jungle take one step, the whole jungles rumbles and shakes! As a matter of fact, Yoruba was the first to seek secession which was quashed by Zik, after which the Niger delta sought theirs which was also quashed by another ibo man yet you self entitled greedy landlocked parasites thought you could mange your secession by disturbing the peace of the country, preaching hatred and dragging the SS in the mud with yours? Where is such barbarian thing done? LOL! When Yoruba talks, others bow! Love my tribe like kilode! 1 Like |
