Leave that to them. They want out despite all these...but you would not hear of it....why.

Alariiwo:


The reason why SE will even be poorer if not poorest.

No natural seaports, no mineral resources, no functioning airports, no roads, no light, no jobs nothing.
Your lands are not even favorable for farming so I wonder how you lots will survive.

Stingman:

This is an observation I have made over some time now.

Why are the Yorubas ready to take anything thrown at them, especially by the Igbos just so long as Nigeria remains?

They have the seaports, major international airports, major train system, best investment location...more educated and more industrious than any tribe in Africa...or so they claim...Yet they are ready to receive insults including letting others buy their lands, develop it, and even become their Obas and governors...All for One Nigeria.

Is there something they are not telling us? Why are they so desperate for one Nigeria...even when their leader Awo stated that Nigeria was never a nation. Why are they ready to give up their pride, culture, and tradition for one Nigeria?

Stingman:

Alariiwo:


Cos you won't make it.. you'll probably die of hunger amd starvation which we don't wish you for now.

We saw what played out during civil war when we cut food supplies from your region thinking you lots could feed yourselves. But no we were wrong,You people started rationing food remnants and even turned on one another and became cannibals.

We don't want you to suffer

I take it you have no answer why you want one Nigeria...

That's the main focus of this thread...

Next...person...

You want out, so how is that Yoruba issue? Does your uncle in Lagos packs to alaigbo and yorubas blocked road for him not to pass? Or are the Yorubas your senators n governors? Which kind wahala be this hehehehehe

Stingman:


You are childish!

You know very well that it has to pass through votes of the Yorubas and the northern members of the house.

SEDC bill was sent by the Abaribe, Ekeremadu and other SE senators and rep members. Why was it not passed?

Because Awo made a pact with the north just before the civil war. Lagos seaports and everything concerning the sea belongs to the north. They are trapped in their marriage to the north

“Eventually when the war was to start with Biafra,
[Awolowo] went to Ibadan and gathered all Yorubas that
they should know the war about to commence was
between the North and the East, and the Yoruba in the
West were not part of it,” he said.
“We received this with shock and the whole Northerners
met in Kaduna and we issued them a warning that we
heard they (Yoruba) were not part of it and we agreed but
we have one demand,” he said.
That condition, according to him was the establishment of a One Mile Corridor. “From Offa which is in our region,
from the rail line to the sea (wharf) we declare One Mile
Military Corridor, meaning all of them who built houses
within One Mile, we will crush down their houses. And
nobody will stop our vehicles and vessels from accessing the sea, this we told our Yorubas in Ilorin to tell them.
And from that time we never hear them. This is Military
Corridor, we of the past hope our children will carry it,”
warning that nobody could stop the people of the North,
whom he said number 120 million, from accessing the
sea.

Alariiwo:


We're discussing biafra not SEDC bill..

SEDC to be funded by who if I may ask? SW generated revenue or how.

You think SW don't need development too? I don't think you're serious.

How much does SE remit to federation account to deserve SEDC. You better wake up and agitate for biafra cos even me will never support such.

Yorubas are the reason why Nigeria still stands today.. Take it or leave it.

Despite the huge IGR generated from our states, we don't complain or brag of feeding anyone. Lagos and Ogun remitts the largest revenue to Nigeria, followed by the Niger Delta region despite having Oil in large quantities.

Let Yorubas start a movement like IPOB for Oduduwa republic and see if Nigeria won't tremble. All your Obi, Sultan and Emirs in the North will come begging.

It has haplened before during Abiola when the West went wild. They had to beg us with presidency. Just let us get tired of this union and I bet it that most tribes in Nigeria will go poor and hungry

The Truth will shock you. Afonjas honestly don't like One Nigeria but at the same time they against Igbo leaving. The biggest reason they support One Nigeria is fear and envy that Igbo will be successful if they are left to be alone. They will rather suffer under One Nigeria than to see any good come out of Biafraa. Igbo leaving will expose them in the eyes of the world as a monumental fraud because they have used propaganda for decades to pad themselves. As one Nairalander said...Afonjas are worst than Alamajiris. Wicked things...naturally wicked!

Guestlander:


The problem is ibos inability to coexist peacefully with anyone. Before the white man, the grouped themselves into clans each completely independent of the other. It was so bad that if you stray to another clan you could be eaten.
Stingma and some other folks would like to go back to that period.

Lol.

The Northerners told the people in Ilorin some rubbish equate to Awolowo signing pact with the Northerners? See stupidity..

Today the northerners dominate the NPA and Customs. Dangote is constructing the road that leads from apapa seaport and will collect tolls...

Look around and see reality

Stingman:


The question again, in case you have derailed...

Why don't you want out and rule yourselves like your cousins in Port Novo? Remember they have light and not queueing for fuel every Christmas...Why do you love one Nigeria...the way it has been? That is the question.

Stingman:


Why are you cousins in Port Novo, not like you? They have seaports and airports too.

Thank God for Igbos who are a blessing to Nigeria...but they deserve to be treated equally. If they have been receiving from the FG like your region for 50 years...You would imagine what the region would be like after the civil war....

On co-existence...Igbos live with more tribes better than you yorubas...How many yorubas are outside of their region?

horsepower101:

I have been looking for this article... thank you my brother.

Gotze1:
If three of you your friends are doing business and you want out, must others want out before you can be free? Or are they the one holding your destiny. One of westlife left and the four of them continue their lives, he did not cry for others to go before he can go. If you want to go, go, don't wait for others to before you do. Go to the right path. Leave Yoruba out of your misery. The day we wish, we will go. Go your own. Scotland does not blame UK for anything, they do it on their own. North Korea did not blame South Korea, they do it in a sane way that and others are doing fine. Leave Yoruba alone, we don't need you to make us feel important.

Omo ode! They asked why you don't support Nigeria disintegration and the only question you can is because you are peaceful. How did that correlate with the question?
Omo ode oshi!

Alariiwo:


That's a thing of shame..

How many Americans or Britons do you see running away from their home to live with others and speak foreign languages?

Most Igbos I've met in the North speak Hausa better than they speak igbo. But they come online to preach hatred towards the Hausas, calling them unprintable names.

That's a "Chameleon" way of life and it's bad.
