Venom236:
A political group has urged Nigerians to ignore the fake news that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has resigned from his position.

The Initiative to Save Democracy (ISD) described the unscrupulous rumour as the desperation of the Peoples Democratic Party to stir unnecessary controversy in the South West of Nigeria.

President of ISD, Sunday James Akinloye, urged Nigerians especially Yorubas to shun all fake news emanating from the PDP. “This is completely laughable. How can some people concoct a story that is entirely false, sending thousands of Nigerians into frenzy over nothing?

“This shows that the PDP is desperate and they will stop at nothing to lay their hands on Nigeria’s treasury but their plans will not work, in fact, it is dead on arrival.

Akinloye stressed that Nigerians must be wary of any story from PDP because they are the masters of fake news. “They claimed in 2015 that President Muhammadu Buhari was going to Islamize Nigeria once he is voted in but we found that that is a lie.

“They claimed he was Jubril from Sudan and they even claimed that he could not stand or campaign for himself but the man has proven them wrong over and over again.

“The PDP is a destructive party and nothing good can come out of them. The foundation of PDP is faulty and the only thing they know is propaganda and lies even to the detriment of the lives of many Nigerians.

Akinloye urged Nigerians to ensure that the PDP is permanently shut out from Nigeria’s treasury for the progress and good of the country.

“They have said it, they want to enrich themselves and their friends, and they do not care about the common man on the street.

“They say they want to come and share the money, we must not allow that to happen. We must be steadfast in the slow and steady path we have embarked upon.

Quoting the Bible, Akinloye said Nigerians must understand that what we sow, is what we will reap. “If we sow Atiku and his corruption, then we will reap hardship from this evil seed. We must be careful what we wish for.

He urged Nigerians to disregard the UK, US and EU, stressing that they are only after their selfish interests. “Before President Buhari came on board all our looted monies were stashed in banks in the UK, US and EU.

“Since President Buhari was elected not only have we stopped laundering our monies to these countries, we are demanding that they return the money with them.

“They are not happy that Nigeria is on the path to prosperity, they want us to perpetually be under them asking for grants and loans.

He urged all Nigerians to vote overwhelming for the APC because that is the only party that can assure us of progress. “Our forefathers say that a good name is better than silver and gold. We must always remember this, always,” he said.

Creamz:
In every rumour there might be an iota of truth. I am sure the vice president is not happy with the way he is been treated.

It largely stemmed from the civil war or Biafra war of 1967 to 1970.
During Republic that began just before independence, Dr Azikiwe (an Igbo) of NCNC party teamed up with Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello of NPC to form the federal govt. Balewa became Prime Minister and Zik became Governor General (later President in 1963). AHMADU Bello remained Premier of the Northern Region.

Even though Ahmadu Bello hated Igbo, Awo and Zik could not work together to form a minority Federal govt. Hinting that there was mutual suspicion between Zik and Awo, and their followers. In January 1966, a group of mostly Midwest/Bendel Igbo soldiers led by Kaduna Nzeogeu staged a coup that led to killing of Bello, Balewa, Akintola (premier of Western Region), Okotie-Eboh and some other non-igbo top politicians of that time.

Long before the coup, Northerners of fed govt had framed up Awo of coup plotting and sentenced him for treason in a Calabar jail. After the failed coup of Nzeogwu, the next most senior soldier was General Ironsi. Surviving members of FEC had to give him power to handle the crisis in the land. So came the first military govt.

But Northerners now felt Igbo planned the coup together all along. They began genocide of Igbo and minorities in the North. Igbo had long established in the North that even Zik was born in Niger State back in 1903 or 1904. Ojukwu in same Zungeru in Niger state in 1930s. Within 6 months of Ironsi taking power, Northern soldiers killed him alongside Fajuyi. With killings of Igbo in the North continuing unchecked, Ojukwu felt Igbo safety could not be guaranteed within Nigeria. He declared Biafra Republic after peace talks in Aburi (Ghana), failed.


Biafra released Awo from Calabar prison. Igbo felt at this point that Yoruba wouid be sympathetic enough to their cause. To perhaps be neutral like Midwest (until Biafra invaded Midwest) or even declare Oodua Republic. Considering Awo's frame up and how the North used Akintola agslainst Awo, splitting Awo's Action Group. But instead Awo joined the new Head of STATE Gowon in FEC as vice chairman and Federal commissioner (minister) of Finance. Igbo people were made to understand that Awo proposed blocking food supply to starving civilians in Biafra that led to massive deaths and end of the war.

At the end of the war, Awo is said to have given Igbo only £10 no matter how big the money and assets they had in other parts of Nigeria before the war. This has led to Igbo seeing Yoruba as traitors. Even two generations down the line.

You often hear Igbo call Yoruba Afonja, to remember the Oyo soldier who betrayed Oyo empire to Fulani Jihadist Alimi that led to loss of Kwara/Illorin to Sokoto Caliphate.

Abi o. PDP and Lies, very synonymous.

When I see people supporting Atiku, I see thieves, liars, bigots or intellectual inept ignorant folks.

Thank God for Buhari coming in to stabilize us through this recession which happened because jonathan failed to save despite earning 60% more than Buhari. Note that there's a global fall in the price of crude oil (our main source of foreign earning) from $110 per barrel in 5 years under Jonathan to a paltry $50 per barrel under Buhari administration yet Buhari was able to give us many project such Railways, Baro port, Revival of fertilizer mills etc as well as keeping us afloat through the recession while surprising Iweala and Soludo who all predicted recession in the coming years regardless who wins between Jonathan and Buhari in 2015 because the looting Jonathan failed to save despite the much revenue accrued from the Oil boom we had under Jona.

PDP, Neva again.

Daboomb:


Hmmmmmm....it runs deep and will take the next few days to explain but the bottom line is that their enmity is based on "self interest & principle".
You also need to understand their personality traits:
Ibos are brash, aggressive and usurping
Yorubas are cranial, subtle and witty

So, if you put those set of traits against each other, it will always result in simmering conflict

Just imagine an igbo man trying to cheat annijebu man?!
Aggression meets intelligent wit, what will give?
