your forefather azikwe did all he could to kiss the ass of his Fulani lord,on what grounds did your foolish Dr zik would want to be in a union with the Hausa who on slightest provocation would descend on his people and hunt them like games in the arena.,what about the kano riot 1953.
Between 1947 and 1959 Nigerian nationalist leaders from different regional, ethnic, and religious communities came together in a series of conferences and to negotiate the transition to self-rule and to map out a common future. During these interactions the Northerners declared Nigeria “the mistake of 1914”
This proposal for inclusion of right of secession by the regions in independent Nigeria by the AG(West)was rejected and resisted by NCNC (east) which vehemently argued for a tightly bound united/unitary structured nation because it viewed the provision of a secession clause as detrimental to the formation of a United Nigeria. In the face of sustained opposition by the NCNC delegates, later joined by the NPC and backed by threats to view maintenance of the inclusion of secession by the AG as treasonable by the British, the AG was forced to renounce its position of inclusion of the right of secession a part of the Nigerian constitution.

From all indications, the Yoruba is the weak link in the south. I say this with all sense of responsibility.


The far north i.e, the Hausa/Fulani know that the Yoruba is the soft spot where they can always take advantage of to hold everybody down especially the Yoruba muslims.

If not for the weakness of the Yoruba, by now the South would have been able to pull down the fulani hegemony and look the north in the face and say 'Enough is enough.'

2015 was a great opportunity to tell the north that you cannoy always get what you want or bully your way into power but Yoruba under the guise of 'sophistication' messed everything up.

The hausa/fulani threatened that there would be no Nigeria if they didn't get back their power in 2015 and the South ought to have called their bluff but because of yoruba 'sophistication' see where we are today.

Yoruba ronu oo.

You don't understand, this is not about whether Yorubas voted for GEJ in 2011. You guys claim to be wise but you ought to have known that 2015 was a great chance to make a bold statement to the core north, that they don't own this country but you failed.

Forget all this online pretense. Yorubas on the streets are complaining bitterly of their wrong choice and selfish politics against the better South

I agree with OP. The SW are the weak link that the North have used to exploit Nigeria. There many examples of this but I will mention two

1) If the South of Nigeria is regarded as SW/SE/SS then the SW are the only ones never to have taken up arms against the North. SE have done it in the Biafran war. SS have done it with the Niger-Delta militants (MEND, NDVF, NDA). The SW have never done anything.

2) Lagos is regarded as being in the SW and part of Yourubaland. But this same Lagos was siezed by Northerners in 1966 and used as their 'control base' to rule Nigeria from the 60's right into the 90's when the capital was moved to Abuja. It would have been impossible for the Northerners to rule Nigeria from Enugu or anywhere in the SE, the Igbos would risen one day and wiped them out. It would have been impossible for them to rule Nigeria from Portharcourt or anywhere in the SS, the militants would have chased them out. But it is Lagos they can go and relax for nearly 30 years because they know that the Yorubas cannot do anything.

I know! It takes effort to beat the chest. For people who have never taken 'action', I fear even beating the chest will be just too much.

Well at least he he fought first before he concede defeat and contested under a 'fulani party'. You guys concede defeat long before there was even a 'Fulani party'. Yes 3 million died, but no price is too great to pay in the quest for freedom.
