I also quit, and unfollow thread.

Ikengawo: Yorubas have followed Boko Haram and Buhari's CPC who's thugs massacred youth corpers because they lost an election by which their candidate spoke only Hausa believing this his people are entitled to Nigeria as their personal property. They are now following Atiku, who is the first man in human history to become a billionaire working as an airport employee.

I can understand wanting to follow Fashola who is a great man and great transformer and leader. I can even understand wanting to follow Tinubu because he united your people. But Fashola hasn't been visceral towards GEJ. He has little bad to say about the federal government. He has requested state police, a stronger fight against corruption and decentralizing powers. That all makes perfect sense. Amaechi, Peter Obi, Oshiomole, Akpabio, Mimiko, Rochas, and Imoke have all asked for the same. you

But when you start asking FG to pay boko haram, for GEJ not to run in 2015 which is his right as a citizen, calling his wife a hippo, calling him a drunkard, cheering when igbos are killed, supporting the party of Yerima and the Abacha family (ANPP) voting yes for child marriage, supporting the party that massacred youth corpers (CPC), attempting the defame prominent igbos like Bianca by spreading rumors about their sex life, cheering for the death of Chinua Achebe who committed no crime against the yoruba other than saying Awolowo was advocating the advancement of yorubas over others (which you all know is true), cheering for efforts to frustrate igbo businessmen in Lagos, and joining ranks with Boko Haram/supplying weapons and your sons, it is easy for the rest of southern nigeria to realize that the only enemy they have in Nigeria is the 'SW', and that there's nothing objective about their 'opposition' other than the fact that it's based on and born in the advancement of hatred and envy.

Ikengawo: Yorubas are the worst type of enemy. Hausas will fight you face to face. They will tell you their strengths and deficits. You are only their enemy once you offend them or their agenda. Yorubas only agenda is to be against you. They don't want to go forward, they don't want to be in leadership, they just don't want you to go forward or be in leadership. The north wants to islamize nigeria and colonize it. the SE wants to be left alone the the maximum extent possible and represented in government. The SS wants to control its resources and destiny. Of all of these objectives, the SW has seen the SS and the SE as the enemy, the north as the ally, and have no objective of it's own other than making sure nobody else achieves their objective.

permanent spoilers. This is why they're always in 'opposition'. They don't have enough focus to move in one direction but enough aimlessness to hold everyone else from their goals. Instead of reading anything Wole Soyinka has wrote, they will wait for someone to celebrate Chinua Achebe to begin saying Wole Soyinka is better or his 'competition'. They can't tell you what he did or why he won a noble prize (advocating for people that were massacred in Biafra). They will celebrate his nobel in the same sentence they attack Ojukwu for supporting the same thing.



If you don't believe me remember this. Of all the vile things i've said on this forum about the yoruba, i have only been banned after posting positive pictures of Aba, Onitcha and Owerri. These are my only posts that have even been deleted. They're ok with us tearing each other apart, tribe against tribe, but if i celebrate the achievements of the Aba people in building an incredible city, i'm ban. This is a sickness and the rest of southern nigeria isn't used to this mentality.

Ikengawo: lol at sophistication.

The SW functions as so. Nobody wants anyone to be seen as bigger than them. It's very true that if the yoruba are given power, they will turn against whom ever the yoruba in power is unanimously. They don't like seeing the advancement of people like them and the more like them you are the more uncomfortable they are with your success.

This is why the focus is on Igbos and not Fulanis or Hausas. They would rather the Fulani and Hausa succeed because they are strange and distant. If Igbos and Ijaws start to shine they will feel insecure and begin attacking.

The hard part about this mentality is they themselves are too afraid to be the change they want to see. They won't start something, they will do it after someone else has done it and proved it can be done, but when it's time to celebrate they will claim that they did the entire thing themselves and did it the best with no objective means of showing this.


Instead of Ekiti or Osun leading Imo, Anambra, Abia and Delta in education, they will simply say they are the 'most educated tribe' and begin attacking the states that are leading.

Instead of producing their own Achebe, they will write 150 articles trying to breakdown his character despite the fact that he's one of the only africans that have not only outdone the continent, but the rest of the human race that are in his field.


They will also start propping false 'competition' against the person that's 'winning'.

suddenly Dbanj sells as many records and draws the crowd that Psquare does
suddenly Omotola is equal in pay popularity and importance to the movie industry as Genevive Nnaji
suddenly Tinubu is equal to PDP in influence and power despite the fact that he could only deliver 1 state in the federal election, and lost Ondo state to an igbo man headed party that was tried of tribal politics.
suddenly Ibadan is Enugu
suddenly, realizing the entire region is a slum, they're all from Lagos and nobody else can be a Lagosian despite the fact that the governor is from Ekiti and the state has had 2 igbo governors a bini and up to 4 northerners.
suddenly Nollywood is 'igbo' and Yorubawood(?) is equal to it.
instead of being accomdating, they'll claim it
instead of being sophisticated, they'll claim it
instead of being industrious, they'll claim it.



this is crab in a bucket mentality. If you put a group of crabs in one bucket, and one starts to climb out, the rest of the crabs will pull him down.

Believe me, I have an equally extensive list of things i like about the yoruba and I respect them as a people and culture immensely, but im constantly disappointed but their crabs in a bucket mentality and obnoxious belief that other southerners are the enemy. I wouldn't be this critical if i didn't respect them but how is a person supposed to respect a group of people who see the massacre of igbos in biafra by northerners and feel that this was a good thing? or a funny thing?

again it's very easy for the rest of nigeria to see where the problem is coming from.

tomakint: @Ikengawo, you shall be the head and not the tail all the days of your lives, your enemies (no matter how numerous they are) shall all be made your footstools in Jesus name, your works shall not perish out of the land of the living, your oil of success, favour, goodhealth, divine connection shall never runs dry.....You spoke the ABSOLUTE TRUTH about a TRIBE I belonged to, this had been my position about my tribe since I joined this esteemed forum! May God keep Jonathan till 2019 for us!

Orlando Owoh:

9jacrip: Honestly, Gbawe took these people to the cleaners.
It is over - I see the thread dying a slow-natural death.

T8ksy:

So do I..............Gbawe has taken the words out of my mouth. Got nothing else to add.

SMH as i exit the thread.

Katsumoto:

You BELONGED to? How can people suddenly stop belonging to a tribe? Is a tribe the same as a club where you cease to be a member if you don't pay your fees.

Stop fooling yourself.

Crassus: Kats , leave Ikengawo and his lieutenants to their delusions

T8ksy:


@ bolded, abi ojare Kats! He USED to be a (detribalised) YORUBA but now he is a Igbo.

He EAT, DRINKS, WALK, SLEEP, WHINE, MOAN, TALK, COGITATE.......................like a Igbo!!

Katsumoto:





Please don't go. Lets have fun at the spare parts dealer.

After spending all his money on Shade, she turned down his advances stating that she couldn't go out with a spare parts dealer, especially one who wore his trousers 4 inches above his navel.

Please excuse his rant, it was all down to his emotional state of mind.

DerideGull:


Who is more delusional, the loudmouthed jackass who will rush out to marry rejects left by the alleged spare part dealer and throw Owambe merriment or spare part dealer?

Katsumoto:

I don't know why Tomakint keeps trying to deceive himself; no one buys that he is Yoruba.
Why can't he just make his posts without stating 'I am Yoruba'?

Katsumoto:
You BELONGED to? How can people suddenly stop belonging to a tribe? Is a tribe the same as a club where you cease to be a member if you don't pay your fees.
Stop fooling yourself.

tomakint:
Katz the storyteller, tell me where i quoted 'I am Yoruba' and while at that, why is it uniform with you guys (Tribalistic Yorubas) to label any Yoruba guy who doesn't share your line of sentiments as 'outcasts' are u guys under a 'uniform spell'? Must we see things the same way?

tomakint:

Onlytruth, I am a big fan of your work (good job)! The Igbos will always have my support any time any day, they have been terribly cheated, maligned, and above all marginalized! The truth of the matter is,The Igbos are wiser now, likewise the Niger Deltans, and permit meto say the Core North knows what they are doing and this is no joke. My only headache are Yorubas elite class who will always tilt towards the north, now the question? When will that terrible curse spewed on the Yoruba race be reversed! I am a just a Yoruba guy not a typical one![/size]

tomakint:


Men, the real issue has been evaded, with your pungent remarks and funny pix, do you think you need all these? To my sincere minded Yorubas out there (afterall I am a Yoruba guy but definitely not a typical one) [/b]do you still believe we are ONE?

tomakint:

You failed the reality check completely! In your own eyes, [b]are we (Yorubas) one?

tomakint:

You must be 'heavy on weed' to spew this putrid drivel out of your bucal cavity! You are here typing rubbish about a progressive tribe[b][size=12pt] (in case you don't know I am a Yoruba man)[/b]that have gone far in developments compared to us Yorubas. In case you don't know, the Igbos some of us (clueless ones amidst us) are always at logger-heads with now have the first ‘indigenous Oil Refinery in Anambra,’Orient Refinery and before you know it more Refineries will spring up in Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu and the Igbos will no longer talk of being marginalized it’s a question of time. As usual, don’t take my word for it, just take a look around and reflect on what you see! Next time, before you fall on your keyboards make sure you stop taking fito; it’s not helping your case!

tomakint:
You got problem with simple English Katz oh no not again

Prof Corruption: Lol.

Ikengawo: Tribalism. If you notice all the attacks have been very personal, sentimental and towards GEJ's character showing a lack of respect for him because of where he's from and his culture



This is one of 2 nigerian presidents that have a college education and is a self made man from poverty.

Igbos have found no reason to dislike him. He's preforming, he's civil, and he's professional. Under him our NATIONAL aviation, power, agriculture, business community, transportation, sports, and oil industries are blossoming and evolving and nobody can deny this.

Ikengawo: I would also like to add that this is the ancedotes of a few very loud internet savvy south westerners. If you go to GEJ's page, Yorubas are trooping to support him like anyone else. It's not an igbo convention there or a ijaw party, it's very broad based and national support.

GEJ will win in 2015, and history will remember him as the president that brought industry back to nigeria, aviation back to nigeria, power back to nigeria, international respect back to nigeria, working functional institutions back to nigeria, professionalism and technocrats back to government, and liberated the south from the grip of the north and their southwestern lap dogs.

Katsumoto:

I have more just in case you want it. Why does a ration Don't you believe in the strength of your logic and analyses?
Like I said, you aint fooling no one.
