kn23h: I am happy to see that people are beginning to see what a few of us saw a long time ago . Facts - 1 Nigeria is living on borrowed time . 2 With the way the country manufactures illiteracy and poverty, it is bound to happen 3 I do not want yorubaland to hang around when Climate change hits ( those herdsmen are coming from places where it has already hit . The way they herd their cattle with no respect for their he land accelerates the process) 4 overpopulation and extreme levels of birth rate means that the little land available will not be enough to sustain the inhabitants 5 The lack of separation of power culture in virtually all the other ethnic groups . Which means that dissent is not tolerated , protest can cost you your life and opposition is not tolerated. It is not a fluke that people flock to Yorubaland in huge numbers . You are judged as an individual and your rights are mostly respected . More than 1 million of those displaced in north moved to yorubaland , to go with those ethnic nationalities who have basically relocated to yorubaland but nobody is demanding additional funding for this fact . Positive reason for yoruba independence You mentioned tourism . A place like Eko Atlantic, Ikoyi and the other parts of the island can be designated as tourism free trade zone . With an international airport and hundreds of hotels and shopping complex , a ready and steady source of forex can be created for a start . 3 Likes |

ModsWillKillNL: Yorubaland is stable enough to attain its full potential. Most of the religious and political strives plaguing much of Nigeria are not common in Yorubaland. An independent Yoruba state has a full potential to succeed. It's perhaps one of the least exploited areas in Nigeria. Yorubas have the longest coastline of any ethnic groups in Nigeria. Do you know how many mineral deposits like gold and iron ore found in Yorubaland? Do you know the billions of barrels of untapped hard oil found in the bitumen deposit of Ondo state. Do you know how much arable farming land is in Oyo, Kwara, and Ogun states? Do you know that most of the limestone deposit and cement production in Nigeria can be found in Yorubaland. Do you know that the largest cement plant in the whole of Africa, the Obajana cement plant is in Yorubaland? You can consider the immense potential that can come from agriculture and cash crops alone like rubber, cocoa, oil palm, banana, orange, coffee, sugarcane, and cotton. The cocoa produced during the autonomous Western region was the reason why Nigeria was the largest cocoa producer in the world exporting cocoa to the various Western countries. Today, due to the neglect of the Nigerian government, the country has fallen to fourth place behind Indonesia. The same thing happen with the production of oil palm, which Nigeria was the largest producer, but has now been surpassed by Indonesia and Malaysia. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, the same Indonesia and Malaysia used to come to Western Nigeria to take back saplings to their home countries. The oil palm isn't even native to Indonesia and Malaysia, but the west coast of Africa and yet these people are the largest producers after decades of investment in their agriculture and neglects of Nigeria's. The cocoa house, the only sky scrapper in Nigeria at the time and the tallest in Africa at the time was erected by the cocoa proceeds from the region under Odu'a Investment Company Ltd. Back then, it was referred to as "ile awon agbe." When you look at a vintage picture of western Nigeria in the 70's and compare it to now, one always seems to wonder what happened along the way. For one, unemployment and poverty was lower then compared to now. The quality of education, security, health, and life was better. Isn't it that as a society ages, its people progresses. Why is it the reverse in Nigeria? 6 Likes |

oduastates: Thanks for bringing the bolded up. Everyone in Nigeria runs to the SW for sanctuary. Oyo state has high number of Hausa-Fulani beggars running from the North, and many more running from Islamic extremists. Flat heads are all over the SW from Lagos to Ibadan in order to survive. Everyone coming to the SW, yet when we ask for more allocations to build infrastructures that will sustain these high migration, they call us parasites. Yet the parasites are the ones running from their home to survive on our land. A Yoruba country will be able to mitigate high immigration through visa process and deportation. 4 Likes |

ModsWillKillNL: Guy, you are on your own with this your unity begging. Gbabeski. FYI, Western Region wouldn't have 'ended' (as you put it) if Nzeogwu and his boys didn't execute their coup! Yorubas didn't end the Western Region, the murderous and ill-advised coupists did that. Who's to say that the Yoruba folks would not have found an internal solution to their own problems back then if the coup hadn't taken place? They had already expressed their rejection of Akintola in very clear terms. Go back and read the history of that era. Right before the January '66 coup, Akintola was already isolated by the majority of the Westerners, and was as a matter of fact open to a political solution that was to involve the release of Awo from prison in order to douse the political upheaval that his tenure had generated. Akintola was already prepared to make concessions to the Awo camp before the coupists cut short his life and that of other victims of that putsch. You are obviously ignorant else you won't even bring up such a lame and jaundiced p.o.v. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

ModsWillKillNL: Yes, you're unity begging. What do you call someone that begs for unity, can't envision the success of his own country? What do y'all call yourselves in your beer parlor gatherings? When was that? Pre or post Nigeria? If I recall correctly, Awolowo had his people's best interest at heart. He fought for his people. The unfortunate set back of the Yoruba nation are the unity beggars and the so called FFKs. |

I'm simply asking if you and your villagers plan to set off an intra-tribal war WHEN Nigeria separates.

kn23h: It's all right. I am for whatever benefits the people. The federal government is too big as it is. If regionalism or separatism is the way to move forward, then so be it. What's even more painful is the cultural aspect. In Africa, it's hard to find a country where the official/institutional language of education isn't foreign. Instead of promoting Yoruba's culture, Yoruba culture is being thrown away and you are considered more posh if you speak English and not your native language. Funny enough is most Nigerians aren't excellent in the English language. I want an autonomous state where Yoruba is the language of government and education institutions where local dialects will thrive and English will be a side language reserved only on the international stage. 1 Like |

9jakool: OMGGGGG You're reading my mind. Yorubas are the ones letting go of their culture to support one-Nigeria. Look at Lagos, they had to support high diverse migration into the megacity by reducing their Yoruba identity. Why do you think piglets now call Lagos a no-man's land? Ogun is trailing the same path. In a Yoruba country, we can accentuate our Yorubaness while making English an after-thought....a secondary language. Yorubas are the ones losing their identity to support useless one Nigeria. 1 Like |
