Was there a time the Yoruba tribe got into the business of Niger Delta, the indigenes of the various tribes occupying the Niger Delta are all vocal about any issue concerning their welfare.

An average Yoruba person on the streets of southwest states care not about Niger Delta or Biafra.

Our brothers in the north central zone are much in communion with the Yoruba spirit of their kind in the west.

lloydtruth:
Hands off Niger Delta kwa, are no longer from Edo state?

Good so how do we get them back into south west as they don't belong to arewa Geographically Kwara is a western state

mandarin:
I think the Yoruba people are less concerned about the Niger Delta save their desire for their kinsmen in Edo(largely Akoko Edo, Owan , Etsako and the Itsekiri from Delta)
I feel the Yoruba are focusing more on that than the oil in the Niger Delta.

Ereolamide:

Does it matter, whether they are placed in north due to the skewed geographical zoning/manipulation of Nigeria,

we have Yorubas in Benin republic and are still Yoruba in bone and blood,

what should matter is their affiliation to culture and tradition which are not found wanting in the Yorubas of northern Nigeria, lest I forget Yorubas aren't the only tribe suffering from this rough arrangement.

Nbote:


Take ur tym and go thru every IPOB/Biafra/Niger Delta related thread, bulk of d commenting and spewing tribal slurs are yorubas. They seem to b even helping spread d IPOB/Biafra story by creating threads every now and den in d name of insulting Igbos/bifrauds or wateva other names dey have baptised dem with.. They seem to care more about it than u know

Markfemi2:



Then since where they are placed doesn't matter let go of ondo and Ogun to south east or niger delta after all it doesn't matter

sorry1:
I don't know why we Yoruba always meddle with igbos whenever they are talking about biafra. Igbos have never claimed any of the Yoruba lands since they started agitating for biafra, why are we always disturbing them when they talk about biafra? Why are we jealous that Delta, some parts of edo, rivers,akwa ibom, cross river bayelsa are all part of biafra? Why are we always trying to fight for the so called nigerdeltans? Don't nigerdelta people have the mouth to fight for themselves?

Oh, Yoruba, ilorin is fast turning to northern state yet we don't care but at every slightest mention of biafra we will start rationing biafra for the biafrans even when it's not our business. Do we love igbos so much to always wanna meddle in their affairs? are we afraid that we won't be able to prosper when they finally get biafra, Yoruba we need to believe in ourselves and start thinking of our problems and stop helping biafrans think of their own. We claim sophistication but were font act like it. we help our neighbors decide their home but our home has not been decided!!!

We need to start reasoning as true yorubas and not as Yoruba Muslims.

Ereolamide:

Quit blabbing like a child.

What have you done about those in Benin republic and Togo, when the time comes those in the north central zone know where they belong, if you're not convinced go through the 2014 confab reports.

Igbo Jews should stop with Ipob don't turn the thread to igbo vs Yoruba

zombieHUNTER:
it does matter where they are placed... These was done by politicians and for political reasons..divide and conquer.. The north have only the NE and NW without NN... But the south has SE SW SS... Should middlebelt really be the NC?... Kwara benue? Like seriously

Ereolamide:

Going through your post, I believe you're one impersonating Yorubas on those Biafra threads.

Markfemi2:


The French colonised those ones
Of the 30 towns in Kwara only one was lost and Yorubas should agitate to have it back
Pre independence Kwara was under western control
In order to to give North more seats and punish west British allocated more towns from old oyo to form Kwara ekiti to form Kogi

Know your history
All Yorubas should be in one enclave
And awolowo fought to put them back in western region

Ereolamide:

Ain't we saying the same thing, you lack comprehension skills

Ereolamide:

Will you keep quiet, what will your wailing on nairaland result to, unless there is restructuring which afenifere and other socio political groups in the country are clamouring for is implemented, your rants will only echo through the virtual walls of nairaland.

The Yoruba are kwara and kogi never for once denied their Yorubaness, most of Yoruba movie stars, lawyers, doctors are from Kwara, so stop bleating about a non-issue.

Eastfield1:
are you no longer from Niger Delta?!?

Markfemi2:


I'm not insulting you point is stop being defeatist and accepting illegal allocation of our territory how van you say it doesn't matter Yorubas could have had 7 states - 21 senators and counter the balance between north and south that way 18-18 states also counter north west dominance by having 21 senators too

Ereolamide:

What defeatist nonsense are you yapping about, I trust your shouts on nairaland will correct the flaws, Good luck.

Lest I forget, so your advice is for Yoruba to stop meddling in Niger Delta affairs, which Yorubas don't do actually, I'm starting to doubt you're Yoruba at all.
