Updated for 2016 - Ijebulogic : "The saving grace in Nigeria's political split is the Yoruba. The tribe serves as a kind of political buffer, noisy but not explosive. As much as they relish escalating an inconsequential disagreement into a full-blown screaming match, the Yoruba are not stupid enough to die for man-made selfish political objectives. They were a most reluctant participant in the Biafra war - they managed to keep their economy buoyant whilst the more explosive tribes battled in vain to serve a few individuals misguided ambitions. Yorubas enjoy their beer, fine wine, cognac and champagne. Their motto which has guided their success in diplomacy, academia, politics and economics is...."Kini Big Deal"? 19 Likes 2 Shares |

ElekeNtioba: Ermmm... Where did you get your facts from? Are you talking about the same Fulanis we fought against, chased from Oyo but decided to leave in Ilorin. Dahomey? Try Ashanti. To think that you consider Dahomey small, something must be wrong with **** *****. It was a kingdom, **** 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Ishilove:You appear to have a warped sense of self-importance. I have been reading your serial abuses of the anonymity of the social media to cast gratuitous aspersions on anything Igbo. What is even deplorable is your claim of some kind of quasi Igbo identity via an Igbo sounding name. The Igbos will not continue to allow some people to take a semblance of a millstone contributing nothing other than working against the collective aspirations of the Igbo nation. Nnamdi Kanu's diatribe and indiscretions have been condemned by most Nigerians, the Igbos inclusive. However, what is swept under the carpet are the subsisting issues that keep precipitating the likes of Kanu. Granted that Kanu probably overreached himself, but are the socio-political issues being raised by him without merit? So the media blitz and propaganda to deflect attention from the germaine issues? And what is exactly are you trying to achieve by drawing parallels between Kanu's utterances and sanguine reprisals from the rest of Nigeria? Don't you think that your rash and impulsive views could be giving vent to those who have made a culture of the destruction of Igbo lives and properties even with little or no provocation? When did the sundry combustible utterances being made by elements from the northern and virtually the rest of the country led to the threat of extermination of their kith and kin outside their homelands? Are the Igbos supposed to be living in this country as a second class citizens incapable of enjoying the inalienable rights enshrined in the laws of the land for fear of not offending tin gods or some sections of the country? You tell me: are the Igbos supposed to remain subservient to mistreatment because other Igbos living outside Igboland would become cannon fodder to some undesirable elements at the slightest hint? I suggest that you people should get a handle on the many shallow and ill-thought out comments you are wont to make on sensitive issues. 11 Likes 1 Share |
