pazienza:Bro leave yorubas to worry for themselves. you see chains, we see jewelry. We're fashioned to excel in the midst of friends and foes, so we don't throw in the towel when things are tough. We only restrategize. What hausa's say concerning Yorubas is non of ur Biz. Before the Existence of Nigeria Lagos was already a port city, ask Portuguese Explorers, English slave merchants and Edo Fishermen. Where do you want Nigeria to build a seaport in your landlocked region? Hundreds of igbo young men and women are presently in various parks in the east waiting to be ferried to yoruba land. Its a natural law that animals will always seek n relocate to greener pasture. So who needs who? So the igbophobic rant is what is preventing the igbos in the north from relocating back to ala igbo despite the oct1 ultimatum. Chai 10 Likes 2 Shares |

PVision2020: In addition to the above, Nnamdi Azikiwe specifically stated that with the non-inclusion of a secession clause, any attempt by any of the regions to seperate from Nigeria will lead to war to keep the country inseperable. Gowon would eventually carry out that order with the "wise" Igbos as the foolish casualties. Today, they lament about a unitary government, but fail to realise that the Igbo Aguiyi Ironsi made the choice for them and for the rest of Nigeria. An Igbo man only loves the system if he is in control of it, else the system is no longer desirable. 5 Likes |

PVision2020: On the contrary, the average Igbo dont care about Yorubas, it's the Yorubas that are convulsing on top Igbo and Biafra matter. We would be glad if Yorubas would worry more about themselves and stop looking for whom to rope into their one Nigeria agenda. You see light in a failed British colonial entity simply because of crumbs you get, we see darkness, each to his own, Biafra is our strategy, Nigeria is yours, we are obviously diametrically opposed. Oh no! It's my business now, since you were the one that started throwing the word slave around, it's pertinent we established who the slaves are. Accra, Conakry, Port Novo, Monrovia, etc were also port cities. The only difference is that Lagos had enjoyed the monopoly of being the sea gate to Africa most populous entity. Oh, so you are now concerned about my landlocked region? Tell me how that is any of your concern? ![]() Lol! Delusions! Igboland is the most densely populated region of Nigeria , Igbos waiting to be ferried to your brown roof region are all products of your oil clogged brain hallucinations, if we need you, we won't be shouting Biafra, we would be chanting one Nigeria, while you would be chanting Arewa-Oduanistan. That isn't the case, and we know why. Anyway, I'm impressed you called yourself and your people animals. What Ultimatum do you speak of? Are you alright at all? ![]() 1 Like |

Apostle Oluwole Awotuyi does not want any baby to die, so he decided to donate a sprawling Emergency Pediatric Ward (EPW) to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH). The ward, an auto door entrance, fully equipped with instruments and machines described as second to none in African sub Sahara, by an Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics, Prof. Adeoye Adeniyi is valued at over N150 million. Awotuyi, the Chairman of an Ilorin based Pharmaceutical Company, ‘Tuyil Industries Limited’ (TIL), according to the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the UITH Professor Abdulwaheed Olatinwo “has no business link” with the hospital but donated the EPW due to his philanthropic attitude and passion to serve humanity with his God’s given wealth. https://guardian.ng/features/health/awotuyis-lifeline-for-uiths-paediatric-ward/ www.nairaland.com/attachments/5660722_tuyilpaediatricward3_jpegc06cec18755550d0a3e1d1b53c708a89 1 Like |

It should be noted that, had such a provision been made in the Nigerian constitution, later events which led to the Nigerian/Biafran civil war would have been avoided. The pre-independence alliance between the NCNC and the NPC against the aspirations of the AG would later set the tone for political governance of independent Nigeria by the NCNC/NPC and lead to disaster in later years in Nigeria. This is a silly comment to make. If at all there was a Seccesion clause in Nigerian constitution, it wouldn't have mattered, as the period it would have mattered in Nigeria, ie 1967-70 was dominated by the military who ruled by decrees and not by civilian constitutions. If not even the regions that were enshrined in the constitution survived Gowon and Awolowo touch, as they were divided into states using a military fiat, how then can someone speak of a secession clause? That argument is redundant and mere clutching at straws by those who are looking for cheap blackmail to keep Ndiigbo in failed union with them. Tamuno seemed to imply also from the above quote that it was disagreement over secession clause that alienated NCNC from AG, and United NPC and NCNC against AG, he is subtly trying to imply that AG became an outcast in the first republic because of the secession clause matter. Nothing could be farther from the truth. This was why AG became an outcast in the first republichttp://www.nairaland.com/3780719/politics-first-coalition-govt-nigeria it had nothing to do with AG stance on secession clause, since NPC themselves were in support of the secession clause. AG was not in anyway vehement about the secession clause, and neither was AG angling for Yoruba secession from Nigeria at that point in time, the secession clause died a natural death at the constitutional conference of 1954 and everyone moved on. Bamenda that wanted secession and independence was told point blank that none would be given, she either remained in Nigeria or joined Cameroon. Tamuno is a poor history revisionist. 2 Likes |

Yoruba The first feature phone assembly plant is located in Osun state.

They are said to have delivered 50,000 Nigerian-assembled feature phones in 2015. A new smartphone assembly plant has also been opened in Lagos State. The AfriOne assembly plant was launched, with the unveiling of the Champion and Gravity range of smartphones, but would still offer a wide range of products. These products include feature-rich and technologically loaded product lines from dual sim mobile phones to educational tablet PCs and even android smart watches.
