How? Jonathan beat them in 2011.

It was the SW betrayal that gave the north clout.

While the northern cabal promoted and exploited the terrorist acts of their Boko Haram, you in the SW continued to circulate their lies.


We warned you but you did not listen.


Your ITK and "nah we sabi pass" mentality is what is causing your humiliation.

This same Buhari was supported by the likes of Awo when he overthrew Shagari only for Buhari to target your politicians, Press and Plebs in his bias anti-corruption and anti-indiscipline war.

InyinyaAgbaOku:


They are not I.diots, they too are interested in undermining tinubu. Is it a bad idea?

kingbus:
So if tinubu was betrayed by buhari and the ppl he trusted ,what should we do about that? Tinubu doesn't represent the yoruba race

noah91:
Hey yoruba haters listen up, a defeat for tinubu doesnt translate to a defeat for d yorubas. Tinubu wanted an hausa/fulani SP but we now hv a SP with a yoruba extraction. He also wanted a yoruba Speaker but we now hv a yoruba deputy speaker. With d Tinubu arrangement, we would hv had yorubas for positions 2 and 5 only but now d yorubas hv positions 2, 3 and 6 and they may hv majority leader in d HOR. So dont see Tinubu's defeat as a yoruba's defeat. D yorubas r intellectuals, indispensable n r d backbones

solonazzy:

Hw did buhari target only SW leaders in his anti corruption raid?....his hunt den was across d country......wen d Yorubas voted for jona in 2011, yorubas were totally ousted.....n to worsen it, jona failed woefully...nw we hav a vice, possibly SFG, atleast a prominent post for fashola, bukola is a Yoruba man, forget his closure to d fulanis.....y r u crying for our headache.....u Shuld b worried for wat SS n SE wuld get in Dis govt

Rawani:


No matter how you slice or dice it, the Fulani are the political masters of Nigeria. QED.

omenka:
Yeah, I'm on leave. Do you have a problem with that??

This is the kind of thread that tingles the taste buds of ethnoreligious bigots like you and sadly, I'm not one of your type. If I don't comment, does that make the article any less interesting to you?? What exactly is your problem.

Let me repeat it for the last time, and I desperately hope it sinks this time no matter how impervious your brain is: I don't care the tribe of who leads Nigeria, what I care about is good governance.

Get that into your head dude, and stop following me around this forum. I'm not here for you and I believe you aren't here for me either. State your opinions and keep my moniker out of your bullucks. I am not interested.

Goodnyt, and go get something useful to do with your life.

And while at it, get yourself some good education mr "remindal".

You still no go gree read


Even your useless Awo was harassed by Buhari.

This generation of alomo and 'sk tight jean wearing yoruba plebs are by far the daftest and most ignorant plebs. Even ignoramus Fulani herdsmen have more sense than you odes.

thotsofnaij:
What you don't understand is that it was what awo did in 1954 that lead zik to form an alliance with npc in 1959-1960. Ziks party which was herbert macually's party won an election free and fair. Awo used tribalism to get people of ziks party to switch sides leading to ziks loss. Would you after something like that still form a partnership with someone that did something like that to you and your followers and would your followers support if you did something like that after what awo did to them that caused them to loss power?

mcino:

Don't mind him. And Tinubu is not just an idiot and a pawn used by the Fulanis to get power back to the north? Yorubas are not the only people from the south that can play politics if betrayal. The single reason why Igbos supported Jonathan that much is simply southern solidarity and not because of the nonsense Azikiwe appendage. In the whole south, outside the Yoruba, Ijaws are the most antagonistic to Igbo's. If not for southern solidarity, why would we blink our eyes. Tinubu was able to convince his Yoruba peeps to see Igbo support for Jonathan from tribal lenses and viola, Igbo's were labelled tribalists for supporting somebody that is not from their tribe. After betraying the south, Yoruba's are now crying, when the head is already off. Igbo's will continue to pay them back by supporting the Fulani's in humiliating them as a pay back.

Dats Ur problem...wonder y I quoted u..ur IQ is just too low...like dat of rhetorical monkies..1st learn to use Ur brain....n in Dis case,comment sensibly

MrPresident1:
It will be very difficult to dislodge the Fulanis from power, they understand the game too well. Petty jealousy and primordial sentiments made the south to lose power. Former president GEJ was a bad fit for president because he did not understand the dynamics of the Nigerian state. To rule an ethnically nation as Nigeria, one has to think like an emperor, it has to be in you, GEJ simply did not have it in him.

GEJ depended on the Igbos to power his presidency, the Igbo culture and psyche thrives on individualism and disdain for social hierarchy, it neither understands the need for a give and take type of politics nor the dynamics of losing minor skirmishes to win major battles, it is a winner takes it all no holds barred culture. The Igbo culture does not understand empire building.

Nigeria is like an empire, made up of many federating units all functioning together as a nation. Among the federating units exists fierce but subliminal rivalries that run deep but is tempered, arguably, by mutual respect and wary watchfulness among the followers and wanton indulgence in the public till among the leaders. This was the state of the relationship between the Yorubas and the Igbos before the ascendance of GEJ.

GEJ became a pawn because he failed to understand the dynamics of empire building, whether deliberately, or ignorantly, GEJ played the two major titans in the south against themselves. It was so BLATANT. Maybe it wasn't his faullt, maybe he was used, but who did not see the deliberated marginalisation of the Yoruba's in the GEJ administration? It was so glaring it stank to high heavens. If GEJ was used, IT WAS THE IGBOS THAT USED HIM, and perhaps the marginalisation of the Yorubas wasn't deliberate, but just the offshoot of a cultural system that takes it all.

The Yoruba did not vote for Buhari because Tinubu ordered them to do so, Tinubu is overhyped and he is in no way the leader of the Yoruba people, he is a child of circumstances and an opportunist, henceforth, no one should place much premium on Tinubu's intelligence, he is not as astute as he he portrayed. The Yorubas voted against Jonathan because Jonathan failed to understand the place of balance in a multi-ethnic heterogeneous society. It was only a reaction, a well justified one, by a highly educated and sophisticated people.

The Fulanis are back in power, the masters of the game of subterfuge.

luvmijeje:


Is the writer advising Tinubu not to get friendly with the Fulani? Walahi, this article is written by a Tanist.

BackDatAssUp:



You still confused on why you bothered replying and mentioning me.


Classic yoruba confusionists on full display

Shymm3x:


Lmao @ the excerpt in bold. I concur, Sir.

Anyway, why do you think the Fulanis dominate Nigeria, yet they haven't been able to replicate the same dominance in other countries in West Africa?

solonazzy:

I'm sure u hav gotten ma msg...buhari hunted Ppl from all regions , even his NW...in as much as u r corrupt...any reasonable person can't c dat as a problem or a witch hunt against his tribe

MrPresident1:


An interesting question that I am pondering too. But I think it is because Nigeria is the icing on the cake, the big prize in West Africa, the answer lies with the colonial masters too who taught them a few tricks to augment the ones they learned whilst they were building and spreading their empire via Islam.

I do think they dominate West Africa too.

Shymm3x:


Nah, they are everywhere but not really dominant politically in any other country, apart from Nigeria. I believe it's cos in Nigeria, they can manipulate the population and reach of the Hausa language to their advantage. And the structure of the country also favours them.

I believe OBJ is the only one who was able to outsmart them and cut them to size. And GEJ should have consolidated on that (it was the holygrail) but he messed up. These folks are going for the kill right now, based on the dynamics of how things are unfolding.

Krucifax:


[b]My friend do not deceive yourself. The hand writing is on the wall. Tinubu's plan was to attain power via a strong candidate in the form of a Buhari presidency. The second part of that plan (and most important) was to control the House of Assembly by having his preferred choice in control. The first part worked and in the second he has been given a checkmate. You see all along he thought he was using the north when in actual fact it was the north using him! They have now played their hand and he's being automatically sidelined. Tinubu will soon learn like Ameachi that the North only always plays in one direction and that is to the north. Just wait and see this is the tip of the iceberg. Whilst the Igbos have their flaws they are very amenable to compromise and can be reasoned with. [s]The Northerners on the other hand expect and demand total control and domination this isn't about to change any time soon. Look at Nigeria's history for the facts.Any honest Yoruba man must now be soul searching as it's gradually becoming apparent that they've pitched their tent in the wrong camp.[/s][/b]

tawa89:
hmmmmm.. but you ve to give to the Fulanis, they are best politicians in West Africa.

Bright4:
More yet to see from them...But one certain thin I blive is, Tinubu will surely laugh last irrespective of their unknown game.
This is war of all and against all...

MrPresident1:


You maybe right. OBJ did not outsmart them, OBJ is deathly afraid of them, I believe this is one of the reasons he schemed himself to Buhari's side. The Fulanis never forget, and they would have dealt ruthlessly with him in the long run, he knows them and he tried to compensate for seemingly trying to betray them.

GEJ was no empire builder, he just did not have it, he was just a child of circumstances.

BackDatAssUp:



So you want a witch burner in this new millennium?

Says a lot about how irresponsible you are to your on failings if you think that your success or failures in life is tied to other people.

You are not a man but a pawn.

If the Daura President can use a fake result to get his career starting then what of you a child of the future?
This is why I call you slaves in the Southwest

datribune:


If Azikiwe thought teaming-up wit d NPC to become ceremonial president was d way to go, it's all well & good.
My post was directed at various igbo posters calling d yoruba slaves 4 answering d patriotic call to rid our nation of d corrupt & dysfunctional GEJ govt. I set out in my post to show dat contrary to what mischief makers ar saying, throughout history d igbo & hausa hav always been political bed-mates. d yoruba opting & being content to stay in opposition.

Tinubu and Southwest?,well am still laughing.

@bolded,

What is there to applaud, sorry I don't see it. The Fulani political position is well known in Nigeria, there is no deftness and finesse involved. The fools willingly leading themselves into bondage is the tragedy that needs explanation.
