Those Yoruba groups claiming such had little or no hand in removing Jonathan from power. This should tell you that Yorubas were more focused on his misrule than playing victim based on ethnicity.
People like Tinubu? You see how you keep trying to justify your nonsense without success?

Tinubu did not play the Ethnic card, it was the likes of Afenifere.

It is very simple, you cannot be conniving against the progress of Nigeria and effectively benefit from it.

This concept is not alien to you because a large part of your population are spread outside the Southeast and you behave well enough to be accepted as fellow Nigerians.

However, when it comes to national politics, you simply have consistently failed to be circumspect. Let me give you an example, Igbos were the noisiest in supporting the misrule of Goodluck Jonathan as President for 5 years. In that period, you failed to encourage him to build Nigeria, worse still to help develop your region that is ravaged by underdevelopment.

Now, that the man you majorly do not support is in power, you are encouraging subversion and beating the drums of war.

How then can you be political relevant in Nigeria? You cannot and will not be.

Oh, I forgot, you are fighting for Biafra. It would have been fun to allow you have it but you would mess that up and still want to eat from the rest of Nigeria like you currently are.

Sorry, you will not be able to eat your cake and have it. So, the choice is yours, become progressive in your political outlook or remain backwards in Nigeria.

You can make all the noise you want on the Internet, it won't change facts on ground.

Respect to my enlightened and sophisticated Igbo friends, you will forgive me ffor addressing your politically-unsophisticated brethren, making too much noise in Nigeria.
Sir, many of these misinformed Igbos are the real enemies of ndigbo. all the tribe especially the Yoruba and even Hausa Fulani brought Jonathan to power. all the tribes all were in PDP and when it was time to abandon the sinking ship, my people decided to own it and thus inherited the karma attached ..........but Notable Igbo sons and daughters could see beyond the immediate filthy lucre and have paid the price of being politically correct this time around. Okorocha, On, Ngige etc. When the presidential ambition beckons post 2019, we shall launch them because we can trust them. God bless Ndigbo, God bless Nigeria.

The only modern day slavery going on in Nigeria, is in Yorubaland, precisely in Ilorin, where Yoruba slaves are eternally ruled by their Gambari overlords.

Yorubas never worked against the progress of Nigeria, yorubas only fought the military and their misrule, yorubas have always been in opposition but they will not because of that now sabotage Nigeria. Inspite of yorubas being in opposition, they know how to sesperate politics from National development that's why the Southwest is the most developed even with the fact that they have always been in opposition[b], sense pass power!!![/b]



@ bolded...................be no o!!! The oyiboman will say "all brawn and no brain".

That's why to this day, my brothers, east of the river Niger still shamelessly blame a Yoruba civilian in the person of Awo for them losing a war which their military leader misinformed them that "no power in black Africa can defeat" his rag-tag army.

Oh well, it took Awo just 6months to subdue Ojukwu' s great army compelling the garrulous, hollow- chestbeating, cold-hearted m.o.f.o, running into exile with his tail between his legs in the middle of the night leaving his people at the mercy of the federal troops.

This explains the unbridled hatred they harbour for the Yorubas much more than for the northerners who actually instigated a pogrom on their sorry arses killing thousands of them in gruesome manner.
