Read well, one would understand why Britain didnt like the igbos and saw the Igbos as a threat to their hegemony in Nigeria and made sure they handed Nigeria to the fulanis. It took them 40yrs to bring igboland under their control, We fought their exploitation during Aba women riot, again we led other Nigerians to an anti colonial general strike in 1945 and also led the anti colonial movement that gave birth to Nigeria's independence. Then again we fought injustice during the civil war and till present IPOB is up again.

The igbos were at the forefront of Nigeria's independence than any other ethnic group.. forget all the noise of cowards parading themselves as founding fathers. They only true founding father Nigeria had was Azikiwe. The north never wanted Nigeria's Independence, the chameloen cowards yorubas were in the middle.

These are the same yorubas who will tell you igbos are not united but as you can see they yorubas are the most disunited groups in Nigeria, thet is why Illorin is still in the hands of the fulani, they cant come together to fight a struggle.

Yorubaland was the easiest to conquer by the Britain. Big thanks to Britain. if not, lagos would have been taken by the Fulani too...

Again, i can remeber an argument on yorubas being in the north more than the igbos on this thread, https://www.nairaland.com/3738483/most-technicians-kano-south-while. They always mock igbos for being killed in the north because they(the igbos) are many in the north while they (the yorubas) are not so many in the north, but all of a sudden they are many in the north even more than the igbos because Emir sanusi said technicians in the kano are from the south. Double faced Hypocrites.

Igbo detractors always say Igbos are not a united people but history has always proven that as false because in Nigeria, igbos are the only group of people who stood strong against colonial oppression. from Aba riot to the fight for independent to the civil war to present day IPOB..

anytime i read about Nigeria's history i always see more reason to blame Azikiwe for the present day igbo problems...

yes his one Nigeria stand was premised on the need for a bigger market but he should have read the hand writing on the wall.Igbo were been rejected in the north because they saw igbos incursion into their land as a threat to their religious, socio-cultural and economic control. The igbo influence was seen as a threat. Igbos came with them westernisation, Christianity and capitalism which was alien to the people of Northern Nigeria. They were unwanted. The north is only holding on to Nigeria because they are in control plus Oil in the Niger delta. That is why once they are not it power, they are always violent.

Again they yorubas were easy going but were jealous and also felt threatened by igbo sheer power of organization, unity and cohesion which they don't have

Reading...

When hypocrites open their stinking mouths to say Igbos are not united,Igbos doesn't love themselves,I know they are trying to be mischievous.

from the readings also, you can see that the writer exposed Yoruba cowardice, easily compromised and sneaky nature.That was why it was easy for Awo to compromise on his agreement to pull yorubas out of Nigeria should Igbos go. They are always sitting on the fence to swing to a party that romances their selfish interest. They cant fight or confront an adversary head on. The same way they introduced cross carpeting into Nigerian politics.A people without principle, discipline and honour. The only fight they have fought is the savage inter tribal fight before the colonial days. Even Afonja had to bow down to the fulanis to help him defeat Ibadan... What a shame to be an Afonja

Furthermore it has open my eyes to reality why the British seed power to northerners, why at every provocation the igbos are the target, the book also confirm that igbos are the largest tribe as against what they want us to believe that northerners are more populated than us, it also highlights that we are more organized and formidable than any tribe as again the slogans that we don't love our self, but when Igbo man from Anambra want to train someone he will go as far as Enugu, abia, IMO, Eboyin even delta and Edo state to bring a boy to train.

To be honest the author of this book say the truth when he said Igbo are not aggressive in nature and we don't see an average Hausa man as enemy but their victims at any slight provocation.

All I will say is that other tribes are just jealous of our gin and achievement.
Better still we are the reason there is Nigeria today. I AM PROUD TO HAVE COME FROM THIS WONDERFUL TRIBE.

Stop saying this nonsense. Yorubas have a long, proud history of activist resistance - more than any other group in Nigeria. Your Felas and Gani Fawehinmis and Falanas etc. Soyinka spent a long time in jail advocating for Igbos and the Biafran cause. A Yoruba man, Victor Banjo was entrusted with leading a Biafran offensive. Fajuyi died as a loyal devotee of Ironsi rather than give up his superior. Terming an entire tribe "cowards" because their politics clashed with Eastern politicians is silly.

Talking about cohesion, this also tells you why once igbos give you their support on any political journey, you can go and sleep with your two eyes closed because you will be rest assured that they will not betray you and you will get block votes from the east. it was same with Abiola, Obasanjo, and Jonathan. Unlike the west where their votes is always divided, which tells about their unity and sincerity and why you cannot trust them in any political engagement. They are not reliable.

Igbos are resented not because of jealousy, but because of this kind of boastful arrogance. Yorubas are the most accomplished tribe in Nigeria, but they don't attract the resentment Igbos do. For me, one major reason is they don't travel around as much, so they don't clash too much with host communities like Igbos, but also in my opinion, one of the reasons for this is they are more respectful of other groups and carry themselves with less brashness and arrogance than a lot of Igbo people do.

It's nonsense, because you have no sense. There are a million and one Yorubas who have done more courageous things than you can ever do in your life. Sitting behind your keyboard to call people "cowards" is deplorable, childish behaviour you should have abandoned in secondary school. You have reservations about Soyinka? See your mouth....

For your info, that Nnamdi Kanu sneaked into the country and got arrested doesn't make him some brave activist. In our democratic government has evolved enough to give any loudmouth a voice with no fear of their life being threatened. The likes of Tompolo and Dokubo even make billions from threatening the government. Dem no born Nnamdi Kanu ancestors well for him to have tried speaking out in the Military era. That's when you know truly brave men like Fela and Falana and Fawhehinmi and Soyinka.

You are a real ode...Military rule would have made it even easier for Nnamdi Kanu. am sure we all saw the fall of Muammar Gaddafi and Hossen Mubarak of Egypt. It would give the enemies of Nigeria the excuse to arm Biafrans, because it would have been clear to the world, the mass killing of defenseless people and citizens by the tyrant in power.Again know our history as a people who have suffered genocide, only a fool will think the world would keep quiet should there mass killings of igbo people or any form of war in Nigeria again. African countries this time are with biafrans incase you dont know,at the right time your eyes will be clear. Nnamdi kanu campaigned against Jonathan because he wanted to face the military hitman himself (buhari) and he was sure buhari would make Biafra come faster. am sure you were one of those praising buhari when Nnamdi Kanu was arrested, compare that time to now and see how foolish you submissions have been.

yorubas and courage dont tally. If it is noise, then yes i agree. Courage in life attainment is different from political courage in facing your adversary. If not, ilorin will not be under the control of the fulanis till now.

Secondly, even when the courageous ones comes up, it is still his people that will pull him down, couple with their liberal and compromising nature, which makes them easily infiltrated( which to them, they call sophistication), and easily neutralized against their enemies.

You're a comedian. It's easier to speak out in the military era? Where were the brave Igbo men in the military era? I didn't hear their voices. Gaddaffi was overthrown by the Western powers and don't compare docile Nigerians with Arabs. Your average Nigerian and Igbo man dare not even challenge his local councillor. Keep on talking utter shiit about Ilorin. If Usman Dan Fodio ever decided to conquer the East, it would have been easy as pie. Northerners and even our Yoruba brothers have actually built empires before and spilt blood. Igbos have little history of war and yet, you beat your bony chests more than any other group. It's funny you accuse Yorubas of making noise, but in my experience, Igbos are the most boastful, chest-beating noise makers in the country - a major reason we're widely resented by other Nigerians.

Nnamdi Kanu only makes noise because he knows he will get away with it. This is not the military era. He would not have the audacity to speak under Abacha. You can fool yourself otherwise, but we know the truth. He would never even have engaged in open activism if he wasn't arrested. he's forced to remain in this country with his travel documents seized.

I find this curious too. Your hero, Kanu, made his name as a keyboard warrior and promoting his hate speech on radio from his safe London base. Tompolo and Dokubo put their lives on the line in the tough creeks to bring the government to their knees and hear their agitations. Sure, they've become billionaires. But they also extracted some concessions from government that benefited the people.

Almost all the comments on this thread including yours are riddled with "anti-yorubas".
Every tribe is divided, it is even more evident among the yorubas though in another dimension.

Even igbo race is still divided on what unites other tribes in nigeria (religions). Here in igbo land, it will hard for someone to see a man from Nise superitending over Nibo. Then I ask, what shall we call a situation like this?

like i said, you represent a real ode.

the war was fought btw 67 and 70.. so from 1970 to 1999, the yorubas and the north were the ones running Nigeria since the igbos have been relegated to the back ground after loosing the war,their properties, wealth and other assets. You dont expect the igbos who are trying to survive and recovery what they had lost to be playing national politics at that time.

again, It is all known that, there is time for everything, hence it was not yet matured for the igbos to restart their agitation. eventually as the condition still persisted, the new generation are rising up to demand for their right and justice which is what you are seeing with IPOB. whether it is military or democracy, Biafra was going to rise again,

Like Ben Murray Bruce said in the senate floor. "I once asked the then VP why bight of Biafra was removed from the Nigerian map. In his words, the supreme military council feared that Biafra was going to rise again. It was just a matter of time.

Talking about Ghaddafi and Mobarak, yes it was the western powers that removed him, but how did they start? Arab spring right? that is what would have happened if we were in the military regime and if Buhari kept on killing Biafrans, it would call for international intervention and am sure you know where it will end.

watch these videos and have a clue of what is coming for Nigeria...I call it the Biafran Spring.

The church saga for you is the igbo for you, they are republican and that goes to shows we cannot dominate ourselves as some people always want to us Anambra as being domineering. . That doesn't make us disunited. Hypocrites like you are the ones who think having different views to problem or protesting imposition means disunity. Igbos are not hypocrites who hide their quarrels like the yorubas do.... to the igbos, two brothers can fight, but the moment he see his brother being beaten by an outsider, that is when you will know blood is thicker than water.

again Igbos love themselves, that is why they teach themselves to fish and not to give fish. What other form of love can one desire?

Now this is it,

Nigerians: "Igbo hate themselves...Hahahaha! They will kill each other in Biafra like South Sudan and Iraq."

Bola Ige was in charge of MKO Abiola Security, as soon as General Abacha died, Abdulsalami made him Liaison Officer to Abiola who was in custody.
Among other People, Pa Adesanya, Bola Tinubu, Wole Soyinka, Bola Ige and others were those behind NADECO and Radio Kudirat.

In early December, 2001, Senator Iyiola Omisore granted an interview where he accused Bola Ige of betraying Pa Abraham Adesanya and Yoruba agenda. He said, this was also how Akintola Williams betrayed Obafemi Awolowo. - Igbo will always betray their collective ambition for selfish gains!

In 2011, during the trial of Major Hamza Al-Mustapha he gave evidence in court in which he stated that the sum of 200 million US Dollars and 74 million British Pounds was disbursed by the Military Regime of Abdulsalami Abubakar to Yoruba Political Leaders including Abraham Adesanya, Mr Fashesun the founder of OPC and especially the members of NADECO (Tinubu, Soyinka and others) to abandon MKO Abiola and his political ambition for a new democratic election in Nigeria.
"I am not such a Yoruba leader. I am very embarrassed at the leaders who fed fat on a struggle that we were pursuing innocently." - Federick Fashesun the founder of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) responding to the Court evidence of Al Mustapha in 2011 - Igbo will sell their brothers for money!

In 2012, former President Goodluck Jonathan renamed Federal University of Agriculture, Umudike to Michael Okpara University of Agriculture - Igbo thanked Goodluck Jonathan.
But the same year, Jonathan renamed University of Lagos in honour of a Yoruba Patriarch and a Nigerian Democracy martyr, MKO Abiola, the whole Yoruba elites including Wole Soyinka, Tinubu and others rejected it on the ground that the University is too prestigious to be named after MKO - Igbo hate themselves!

December, 2001, Bola Ige - a Yoruba Political Hercules and former Attorney-General of the Federation was shot dead. Senator Iyiola Omisore, a former Deputy Governor of Osun State was fingered - Igbo are not united!

July, 2006, Funsho Williams the PDP Gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State Governorship Election was strangled and murdered.Many Yoruba including Femi Fani Kayode accused Bola Tinubu of being behind the assassination. - Igbo are not united!

January, 2010, a governorship aspirant Adedipupo Dina in Ogun State under the Tinubu led ACN was shot and killed. Many Yoruba politicians including Gbenga Daniel a former Governor of Ogun State has protested and asked Police to investigate Governor Amosun of Ogun State.- Igbo shall kill themselves in Biafra!

In 2014, Toyin Hamzat, a former Chairman of Ikeja LGA was mafianly gunned down in Lagos State. People even Sahara Reporters and Police says is a political execution.

Igbo shall kill themselves if given Biafra, please COMMENT any political killings, murders and assassinations of Igbo Politicians over disagreement on political interests, that happened in the South East since 1999.

And as I said, you're a comedian. Just another mooronic tribal, keyboard bigot. Igbos not being at the centre of power is irrelevant to the fact they were not as vocal as Yoruba activists in opposing the tyranny of our military rulers. I made a simple point that under a military administrator, you god, Kanu, would never have dared to defy the government and you're spewing irrelevant twaddle about the Arab spring.

I don't make my post to criticize or ridicule Igbos, but to point out the asinine logic in your post. If irrelevant, obscure clowns like you sit down behind your keyboard to label another tribe as "cowards", you have to be able to defend it. And all you've done is empty chest-beating. Every human being is an individual with his own qualities and I can't sit down to vomit such prejudicial stewpidity as calling other people cowards. Plenty of Yoruba people have done more courageous things than your entire lineage combined. A lot of you seriously need to get some humility. Watching a bunch of cursed, backward niggers arguing among themselves as to who is the master race of niggers is embarrassing to watch. You give credence to white supremacists who think black people are sub-human apes. In my opinion, Igbos are more guilty of this than other groups and you encapsulate this massive flaw. This is why despite being one of the most peaceful groups in the country, Igbos are the most despised group in this country. As Achebe once said "Nigerians would come to no other consensus other than their common hatred for the Igbo man". Even our Niger-Delta neighbours largely resent us. Many of you deceive yourselves that it is because of "envy", but it is more because of the way many Igbos carry themselves with such crudeness and arrogance and conceit.

Thank you so much for this piece!
Op, what do you hope to achieve with this? I tell you the truth, we all need to understand that people are people anywhere in the world: some bold, some diplomatic and others indecisive... each person has a right to be whatever he or she wants to be. When all is said and done, none is better than the other. We have only been programmed, as it were, to reason in a certain way and judge.

Think about it, Op and other ethnocentric e-warriors here, hasn't anyone outside your tribe been of help to you before? Don't be carried away by the snare set before you by selected few; it is aimed at frustrating you and putting you under perpetual slavery.
Whether Nigeria remains as one or divided is immaterial, let's learn to think as human beings; work hard and be free from the burden of slavery placed on us by the cabals that have been the undoing of this great nation. We are not animals!

Stop saying this nonsense. Yorubas have a long, proud history of activist resistance - more than any other group in Nigeria. Your Felas and Gani Fawehinmis and Falanas etc. Soyinka spent a long time in jail advocating for Igbos and the Biafran cause. A Yoruba man, Victor Banjo was entrusted with leading a Biafran offensive. Fajuyi died as a loyal devotee of Ironsi rather than give up his superior. Terming an entire tribe "cowards" because their politics clashed with Eastern politicians is silly.

Stop regurgitating Yoruba propaganda.

Fajuyi was killed because he was involved in the Jan 1966 coup, he mentored Nzeogwu and co on how to go about the coup, and he also defended them when the coup failed, by constantly pleading with Ironsi not to hand them over to the Northern military that was demanding for their heads.

He was a marked man for execution by the counter coup plotters.

The story of Fajuyi dying because he was pleading for Ironsi lIfe was a Yoruba media propaganda, meant to ensure that Fajuyi role in the coup be erased to encourage the Igbo coup propaganda they were already cooking.

The white know Igbo is Boss.

This book should silence all the critics against the igbo's

Furthermore it has open my eyes to reality why the British seed power to northerners, why at every provocation the igbos are the target, the book also confirm that igbos are the largest tribe as against what they want us to believe that northerners are more populated than us, it also highlights that we are more organized and formidable than any tribe as again the slogans that we don't love our self, but when Igbo man from Anambra want to train someone he will go as far as Enugu, abia, IMO, Eboyin even delta and Edo state to bring a boy to train.

To be honest the author of this book say the truth when he said Igbo are not aggressive in nature and we don't see an average Hausa man as enemy but their victims at any slight provocation.

All I will say is that other tribes are just jealous of gin and achievement.
Better still we are the reason there is Nigeria today. I AM PROUD TO HAVE COME FROM THIS WONDERFUL TRIBE.

The 2015 election result is a proof of your comment about the Igbos being the most populated



Yoruba+Hausa Fulani+ Minorities= 15Mil voters


Igbos + Minorities = 12Mil voters



One Major tribe + Minorities giving Jonathan such a number tells you that we aren't a small tribe
