Lagos State is going to be key to the success of Western Nigeria's future economy. This will require Lagos to make some initial financial sacrifice to help the other 5 States to get back on their feet economically. Lagos stands to gain too . The truth (whatever people say on Nairaland) is that, long term, Lagos stands to suffer considerably if Nigeria breaks up. One way of preparing Lagos for the consequences of Nigeria's uncertain future as a country, is to start working for a robust Western Nigeria...now. By sacrificing now, and helping the States around it (with about 40 million people) to build robust economies, the impact on Lagos of a broken Nigeria will be less pronounced and this will help Lagos maintain its status as a leading business destination in West Africa. Lagos can start now by replicating its rice partnership with Kebbi State, with Ekiti and Ogun State. This is relatively low risk. There are a few other ideas that Lagos could pursue which would not necessarily involve overwhelming financial commitment. 5 Likes 1 Share |

pelumi111: Why are you like this? Can't you just glorify your region without casting aspersions on others? Kai, unity is far from us. To the topic, the entire idea is noble and progressive. If each region works together among the states, we will automatically achieve regional economic autonomy that will be way more beneficial to the masses. Fucck FG. Regions can stand if the states cooperate. |

Kockane: I will like the idea of kwara governor attending this type of meeting but for political reasons they don't want to be associated with their brothers in south west. Kwara stand to benefit a lot economically in a union with states like Lagos, Ogun, oyo, Ondo, Ekiti than the north central states. Imagine a rail network linking Lagos all the way to ilorin... That will surely open up the agricultural potential of kwara state |

Basic123: My dear, which Democratic govt has had the courage to organise any such conference since 1960? Let alone late. Govt is supposed to be a continuum in National interest. People down South forgot that the North have no appetite for restructuring. One major reason they opposed Jonathan. But Southerners being less politically savvy than Northerners fell for it. By the way " novice" is not an insult because everybody is a novice in many areas. |

bibe: It was actually a hundred years of civil war. The wars were the reason for all those Africans in Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago and so on. This is why I always smile when some people call Yorubas cowards. After all the killings, the waring parries still had to settle at the negotiation table. Yorubas have count their costs of war and learn bitter lessons. Yoruba ma npe gbon ni, a kii pe go, meaning, we gather to make use of our brains, we should not gather to display stupidity. |

Basic123: What was the remit of OBJ's conference. That was not a proper conference. What was the report? Did he not have more than 8 months to implement it? Did he do it? No. Tribalism aside, Nigeria prospered under GEJ despite Boko that the Northern elite unleashed. |
Re: Yoruba Better Off During Regional Govt Says Western Governors. by Basic123: 5:45pm On Jul 25, 2017 |
AreaFada2:Google it,you will see.infact,I read a report where the recommendations of each conference were place side by side. Prospered less that it should have been anyway.GEJ was like gowon that wasted money from oil boom on civil war.In the case of GEJ it was embezzled.Obasanjo in his own case was careless while Buhari is a poor decision maker. |

WORLDPEACE:Omo, taoheedoriloye was quite right in a lot of ways actually, he was only off when he said that those in Kwara are more Yoruba than Ondo. Yes, Yorubas in Kwara and Kogi need to be included as well.Yes, no parts of Ondo speak Oyo dialect natively. Also, the people of Oke-Igbo don't speak Oyo. They speak Ede Ufe (Ife dialect). |

Chief obafemi awolowo alone was better than all those state governors put together. Clueless unserious governors. All what they said was nothing but noise making. |

Abiodunstephen: Thank you jare. It means they are failing as governors. Creation of states was an opportunity to make things better. But unfortunately we dont have sensible leaders in the country. Each state can stay alone and be very successful but where are the leaders to make it happen? |

ELKHALIFAISIS:Because unlike you Yorubas love their yorubaness but do not hate their Nigerianess. A man/people will NEVER prosper in a land he/they hate. Ever wonder why the Hebrew God asked the isrealites to pray for the prosperity of the land of their captivity? Hatred is a psychic force, setting off vibrations in the universe. It's really tragic that a whole tribe has become the repository of hatred towards their own country. 1 Like |

Just excavate the land, houses and properties you bought in Lagos and other parts of the SW, and take it with you when you are going to your new republic. No need for insults or fights, please.

laudate:No one is dragging nobody. Nothing new that there are Igalla & Ebira and other immigrants in Yorubaland & vice versa. The point is there are many including Benin people in Yorubaland who now know little or nothing about their original tribes. Unless you can categorically disprove that, your outburst is of no merit. Over centuries, some Benin people called Okunbor have become Tokunbor to blend into Yoruba society. A well known example is Chief Oshodi Tapa of Lagos. He came from Bida and became a servant of Eleko Eshinlokun. His origin was known because he became a prominent warrior and statesman of Lagos. Many like him abound but of no prominence & therefore unknown. You see everything through tribal prism. As for that guy, providing him with evidence is like teaching somebody who doesn't know simple equation calculus. He won't recognise it if he sees one. If he doesn't know of Ado-Akure, then his case is a hopeless one. |
