Yet, he outlived his 'gambari master' and is doing well today.

The only ibo coup plotters(Nzeogwu and co) and the beneficiary of their coup, Ironsi, weren't that lucky. There were mercilessly slaughtered.

VirginFinder:


Just like it was in 1999, SS/SE support wouldnt matter or count when it's time for us to have the presidency.

Didnt Abiola defeat Tofa even in his ward in Kano?

VirginFinder:


Yet, the same IBB moved the capital to Abuja even when Abuja wasn't ready just to consolidate his grip on power. What was he scared of?
You get sense so?
Was any Yoruba coup plotter ever executed? All those coups were mostly phantom coups.

olawalepopoola:

That is why you couldn't vote for him in the presidential elections of 2003 and 2007! Love by mouth!

chuna1985:



lmfao, All the Yoruba coup were phantom coup.......Cowardice.

Igbos did coup, Hausa did coup, but only Yoruba tribe where planning phantom coups!!!!

Chisos, s waste.

truefact:


Yes, we want to leave the zoo because we cant play second those we are better than, unlike yorubas who are born slaves. ...
Igbos are not slaves, we lost out....but you are willing slave...cowards who enjoy playing a second to a cow rearers

You cowards called igbos greedies, but i want to let you know it take boldness to be greedy...it takes bravery to challenge authority, it is only the true progressive that has agenda. ...north has agenda , East has agenda, but the slaves never have agenda....yoruba, you are a slave

aresa:
By nature, Yoruba people are forward looking and pragmatic people, reaching out and forging alliance to forward your interest is always a great thing regardless the outcome or other people's tendencies to disrupt.

Yoruba people are not closed minded isolationists like they do where this biafra writer came from.

Regardless of other people's ways and shenanigans, Yorubaland remains the most prosperous, advanced, cosmopolitan and the richest in West Africa.

Yoruba people are not hateful, vengeful, bitter and petty people like you, our pluralist ways and accepting ways serves us well, it's an asset and never a disadvantage.

You biafrans need to take stock and ask yourselves what you've gained with your isolationist, tribal and bigoted ways? What have you gained? Nothing really, you are still at the bottom of everything and even the north this joker is talking about is decades behind the SW in everything, even the folks from wherever this thoughtless and misguided biafran writer came from can not make any kind of decent living unless they migrate into Yorubaland.

Sabotage, isolationism, hate, bitterness, needless anger and bigotry gets you nowhere and Yoruba people don't subscribe to such nonsense, it is not our way of life or culture as a people.



Keep Yoruba people out of your hateful and isolating mystery...

Why do you ibos like cooking up imaginary regrets for Yorubas. Why do you guys like using Panadol for Yorubas' headache?

Tinubu didn't get the Speakership slot because another Yoruba man for the North Central, Bukola Saraki, had clinched the Senate Presidency.
It would have been too much for one ethnic group to hold nos 2, 3 and 4.
Even at that, his man, Femi Gbaja, lost by only 8 votes (174 - 182). Please how many Yorubas are there in the House of Reps?
Eventually, the SW got both Deputy Speaker and House Leader at the expense of ibos getting a paltry deputy whip position.
I think that is consolatory enough.
If you are in doubt as to Bukola Saraki's ethnic group, this what a core northerner, Dr Junaid Mohammed, has to say (focus on the bolded):







Afonja destroyed the Oyo empire? The writer must be a goat and dullard! Afonja was only able to secede successfully from the Oyo empire with the help of Alimi. That's all.
When Alimi and co attempted to go beyond Ilorin, southwards, they were overwhelmingly beaten so much so that they never made a second attempt.
The Yorubas have successfully assimilated whatever can be regarded has Fulani in Ilorin. Even the emir used to be Kolapo.
Ilorin remains Yorubaland with a figurehead emir. Traditional rulers have no power! Hence, the real power lies in the hands of the political class which is firmly in the hands of the Yorubas.



Mohammed Lawal fell out with his godfather, Olusola Saraki, during his first tenure. This cost him the second term.
Hence, whatever step he took was reversed in annoyance. That he made his father an Oba made it even worse.



Awolowo did his best and placed we Yorubas on such a high, unique pedestal in the Nigerian state that other tribes, especially in the south, forever envy, lust, long for, look forward and struggle to attain and which has and will always elude them. The ibos have been at the forefront of trying to measure up to the Yorubas.

After all said and done, Awolowo was awarded a post-homous GCFR, a title held by only Heads of State. Of all the indigenous founding fathers of the Nigerian state, his family remains the most successful and relevant in modern-day Nigeria. Zik, once ceremonial president, has been found worthy of being awarded a post-homous GCFR.

I bet you, Zik, whereever he is, will be envying Awolowo and his achievements.




Abiola and Babangida may have had a personal axe to grind. Rumours have it that Abiola may have at swindled IBB of Samuel Doe's loot placed in his trust and at some point straffed Mariam.

Even then, Abiola outlived Abacha and died a hero.

Obasanjo reaped where Abiola sowed. Obasanjo would never have been president had Abiola been president.

Didn't GEJ even benefit from Abiola's struggle in the very long run?

So what is your point?



Diya also outlived Abacha and he is doing quite well today.



Tinubu did what he had to do to save the nation from impending doom.
He is a hero with a lot of foresight.
Another four years of GEJ would have led to the demise of this nation.
Today, Nigeria is beginning to work again. It's no more business as usual.
Tinubu is set to emerge as the Chairman of the APC BOT. Buhari has also mended fences with him.
Courtesy of Tinubu, Yorubas occupy positions no 2, 3, 6, Senate Chief Whip(yet to be occupied) and House Leader
So what is your headache?

You ibos should go and lick your sores jor. According to Orji Uzor Kalu (2013), you are third-rate Nigerians.

Yorubas are just too sophisticated and complicated for you all to comprehend or understand.

Once again, you ibos should stop cooking up imaginary regrets for we Yorubas to cover up for your senseless wailing.

yorubas have planned the most coup in nigeria yet no one was successful,the first one was in 1963,when awolowo planned to overthrow balewa,he was caught because he wasn't too smart.
Another was in 1987 by same awolowo,he was caught as usual.
Another was in 1995 by obasanjo and co.,they were caught and sent to prison by abacha.
Another was in 1997 by diya and co.,he was caught and he started crying.
All these made IBB to say[b] if he is sleeping and he heard that there is coup plan going on,and he woke up and found out that it's a yorubaman that is planning the coup that he will go back to his sleep.[/b]I know the reason he said so was because he knows that they are not as smart as their igbo and hausa/fulani counterparts.

imhotep:

Why plot a real coup when you can just remain a gambari slave in perpetuity.

Empero1:
I wonder when majority of my tribesmen will understand that Democracy is not Tribalism. We as a people are too sentimental in all ramifications . It's baffling and disheartening to note that any compatriot who shared opposing political ideology from the majority of my tribesmen is seen as an enemy .

VirginFinder:

Ever heard of double agent?
Yorubas are very slippery. Even the north are very wary of us.

List of the most disastrous leaders our nation never had
* Awolowo: regional totalitarian and ethnic bigot

* Samuel Akintola: greed and recklessness

* Gen Ogundipe: cowardice and incompetence

* Mko- Greed, financial recklessness, financial misappropriation, ethnic bigot
* Olu falae: small minded, local champion, weak support base, inferior character
* Gani Fawehmi: political illiterate, weak support base, small minded, leadership incapacity
* Tinubu: Ethnic bigot, dirty track record, financial recklessness, financial misappropriation, poor political coordination, leadership incapacity

truefact:
Yorubas is has this or that...my question is..WHY haven't yorubas use their suffercation to dislodge the Hausa-Fulani from being the owners of Nigeria?

Yorubas are nothing....Why can't yorubas compare themselves with Hausa-Fulani? Yorubas claim to be the most progressthieves and suffercated, yet they are slaves to Hausa-Fulani...

Mind you, igbos are dislodged by a combined forces which includes the yorubas and Hausa-Fulani. ...if the civil was only btween igbo and Hausa-Fulani or Igbos and yorubas, I tell you Igbos will win any day and any time....yoruba are true cowards...

Igbos are like one man fighting again many men...
Yorubas March Hausa-Fulani man to man, stop being cowards

maasoap:
Your forefathers were known to always going with the Hausas and central government. Is it because Yorubas decided to go with Buhari since Jonathan turned out to be an ingrate and failure that is giving you guys sleepless nights?
I still remember all the insults given to Yorubas prior to the 2015 presidential election, you guys forgot that it was Yorubas that championed the course of Jonathan when Yaradua was ill.
We're with the central government, we feel there is need to give the role of opposition to you guts for the meantime.

basilo102:

All this to cover your regrets on what you have brought upon yourselves through the brain dead Buhari?? Opportunism is not political mastery, even the North will kick Buhari out when the time comes cos it was all about returning power to the north first, so if you think yorubas matter in the event that lead to Buhari's emergence, you are dumb

truefact:

Read my post fuulish ostrich. ...we agreed igbos are been dislodged. Now, why are you also playing the slavish slave? Are you no more suffercated? Why cant you use your suffercation to dislodge the North and become number one? It is ashame, that you are nothing in the equation. ...
Igbos are dislodged by north,.now where do you stand in the equation ? You simply nobody...
Hausa-Fulani never considered you as somebody, hence they don't feel bothered about you...you are cowards who can't fight for anything except making noise.

I always hear igbos agenda this and that. I also hear Northern agenda this and that, but i never heard yoruba agenda even for once....what you do cowards stand for?
