The Southwest and Southeast can never align politically in Nigeria except the Southwest is ready to surrender the political, economic and social control of the Southwest to the Igbos.
What does the South west want in Nigeria? 
Majority of the Southwesterners want a Nigeria where the resources and taxes of the South west will be used to cater for the development of Yorubaland.
An average Yoruba man is not interested in how any South East or South South or North west state spends their resources or the kind of local policies they make for their people. They want to practice true federalism by minding their business within a diverse and united Nigeria.
What does the South East want in Nigeria?
An average South Easterner is not contented with Igboland. He wants to tell Yoruba man how to rule Oyo state, he wants to claim the same rights with the Ijaws of Bayelsa.
Most Igbos want a Nigeria where they will be fighting with the Hausa man in Kano, on who will become the Governor of Kano. He wants to tell Kanuri man in Borno on why he should throw away his history, heritage and Islamic civilization and embrace the kind of Nigeria that Azikwe preached that led to the bloody civil war of 1967.
The Southeast complains about everyone and has turned themselves into opposition in any non Igbo state in Nigeria. While they practice hardcore Igbo Nationalism in their five Eastern states, they become the financiers and organizers of detribalization, neoliberalism and pan Africanism in Yorubaland, Niger Delta region and the core North.
The kind of politics they practice is not compatible with Federalism which is why they are the biggest beneficiaries of this chaotic unitarist system of government since 1966.
They go everywhere and be complaining about how the natives run their Indigenous local politics.
If Nigeria is not properly structured, they will lead Nigeria to another 1966.
SOUTHWEST and South East are eternal political enemies; within Nigeria due to parallel Ideological differences.
