.... which of the two ways do you want?

Area4Area:
But majority of the Yorubas want you to leave now just like the northerners and what are you doing about it?

Wiifesnatcher:
.

who brought you back? or the mumu major general that ran and abandoned your forefather to die like Christmas goat brought you back

you people lost your dignity and trust long time ago when one mumu led you people to destruction, only to ran and come back to contest in the same country, KANU did the same for you clowns and I'm sure another person will still come out to do the same because you people reasoning is naturally plugged on empirical thought


is it not funny that you're trying to go rough when I'm still replying with soft words. if I go rough with you, you will be more frustrated than this

meccuno:
it's not in our hands. If it was we would have left long time ago.

meccuno:
if they are really serious,they should kick start the process of referendum. After all,they North has the highest number of seats. But we all know who needs who.

meccuno:
you trying to reply me with soft words it's either you are mad or ignorant. You obviously don't know me. So let's leave it at that

Area4Area:
.....then let the idea of getting Biafra rest for now until you know you can handle the situation

Area4Area:
Who needs who most and would not leave the other's region even after they were issued an ultimatum to leave?

Wiifesnatcher:



obviously don't know you. you people with dumb animal sense. are you Putin, Trump or China president oh I have forgotten you're UK new prime minister

it's obvious some crook surgeons have carelessly work on your brain before hence why you're seeing madness in your imagination because I don't see how a sane person will be replying and quoting mad people?

ojukwu and KANU and Ralph really took the advantage of you people shortsightedness to their own advantage that's why they don't lose their family and properties during you people show of Shame

meccuno:
ok then.we are shortsighted.

SamNaijaboy:
The Igbo man unlike the African American was served just deserts for being supremacist towards other tribes. They just met their match with the Fulani who had similar expansionist culture.
The Yoruba were caught in between.
If Ojukwu had attacked Kaduna, the northerners would have made a beeline back to the North and that would have helped the Yoruba take control of Lagos and aided the disintegration

I’ve always wondered also why 95% of Nigerians making wave in diaspora are either Yorubas or Igbos. We are both intelligent tribes with thirst for success and with some sort of intellectual abilities embedded in our DNA.

The game the North is playing is the actual game Britain played against Africa. Mix the intellectuals and the less-educated together and give the latter the political power through democracy. Since it’s a game of numbers, the norther will continue to have a say in any political establishment in this democracy.

Look at the votes from Kaduna, Kano, and Katsina for example, can you see that the south is at the mercy of the North? Meaning the fulanis will continue to select people for presidency in as much as this nation stands.

I’m trying to give a realist solution to all this menace. To pull out of the country, the Igbos can’t do it alone, even if they must you must learn to bring the Yorubas in your fold.

You should understand we Yorubas, we’ve not gone through what the average Igbo went through in the war during the 60s, so it’s very hard to rally people around for a common cause. The best tool to gather people is to give them something to fight for, people only react when you can appeal to their emotions.

Nigeria will eventually break, maybe in our generation maybe not, but I’m 100% sure that Nigeria will eventually break one day. But I’m still trying to figure out how that can be achievable optimally.

Nigeria situation now is a war between the rich and the poor, coz there is a conspiracy among the leaders both Yoruba and Igbos to keep their subject in this union.

The animosity between the Igbos and Yorubas is borne out of the fact that the Yorubas thought if they don’t align with the north the Igbo will. Same thing the Igbo thought if they don’t align will the north, the Yorubas will. It’s just a political game by the leaders and we are just pawn in the game.

It’s evident in the political game of Nigeria right from time which saw the brainy vice playing second fiddle to not too literate president or aspirants from the north.
Azikwe/Balewa, Shagari/Ekwueme, Tofa/Sylvester Ugoh
Buhari/Osinbajo.

Your comments on this issue is level-headed and issue-oriented. But l totally disagree with you on the assertion above. The foundation of animosity between the Igbos and Yorubas is the deceitful role Awolowo chose to play in the Nigeria - Biafra Civil War that should have been an opportunity for the south to permanently deal with the Hausa/Fulani nuisance created by the British Colonialist.

Oh, so that was what you guys expected of Awo but he turned the tables on your slimy leaders hence the perpetual hatred

from you guys.You brought your d.u,.mb war to his land and expect him to stand akimbo as his people are being killed as collateral damages in

your marital woes with your former bedmate.

SamNaijaboy:
What makes you think Yoruba people care about Igbo leaving Nigeria?
As long as you go with only your 5 landlocked states alone and don’t try to annex SS to your Biafra dream.
But N.Kanu already calculates most of the SS as Biafraland . The people say dem no Dey come with una.

Btw, not talking about bragging. Just way of life and attempts to control others or behave when in their land

SamNaijaboy:
The malevolence is on the Igbo side unfortunately. You massacred other regions leaders and that led to a series of events that led to the pogrom against the Igbo in the NORTH. Not in the West despite the fact that you killed their premier.
If anyone is most responsible for the unitary state called Nigeria dominated by the Fulani, it would be another set of Igbo men: Nwabueze, Nnamdi Orizor, and Ironsi. Together they drafted and promulgated the decree that took away the powers of the regions.
What were they thinking?
Awo suggested the peaceful succession clause which somehow Zik did not support
Zik also declined to form a government with Awolowo, preferring the North when he had the chance for Southern solidarity.

So instead of fighting other people’s leaders, perhaps you are best served looking at your own leaders’ conduct and plans to subjugate others that failed.
Your problem should be with the Northerners but instead you always look at the Yorubas that kept your properties in Lagos and the associated rent and gave them to you back and find them to be the people to blame.
Blaming Not the SS with the abandoned houses saga, but the Yorubas.

The mid-west that your Biafran soldiers raped their women and murdered their men in the guise of liberation from Nigeria is there. None of your leaders has thought it fit to apologize for the atrocities Ojukwu’s soldiers visited on the MidWest in that massacre but your N.Kanu idiotically includes their territory in his phantom Biafra.
Adama Boro fought to the death than to go with your Biafra.

I think you should go somewhere with your hyperventilating victim mentality that is so prevalent with your people; and should you find that no one likes you in the country, I suggest you look at the mirror first.

Make friends with your neighbors that can’t stand you first before you cross several states to point fingers at the Yorubas who have never attacked you but was attacked by your megalomaniac Ojukwu in his war against the North. Does Lagos sound like Kano or Kaduna?

Bro let’s be factual and decode situation without a biased mind. Awolowo was a civilian and was in prison months before the Biafran war, remeber Gowon released him from prison.

How will Awolowo, who wasn’t even the premier of Western region or hold any political power than just an elder statesman declar war on behalf of the Yorubas?

He was not a military man, he does not have the necessary military background, Ojukwu was a propagandist who sold the notion that Awolowo will break out of Nigeria with him to his kinsmen to gain their support for the war. Just like he sold the lie that he will crush the federal troops in few months.

Ojukwu on the other hand was a military man, he had a reason for the war which one of them was the massacre of the Igbos in the Core North, he had justification for the war.

What could have been Awolowo justification for the war? Side with the Igbos that killed Akintola and other Yoruba leaders in a coup? Why should Awolowo go to war when the western region is the best region then and Nigeria is working by all standard? Why should he draft Yoruba into a massacre when he knew the Igbos drew the first sword. Don’t you even know the Igbos and the northerners are allies then and they run the country? Why should Awo intercede?

Like I said, the Igbos will always see situation from their own perspective while the Yoruba will see their from their own too. I can argue that Ojukwu in his mind knew Awo can’t join but he need someone to lay the blame on to convince his kinsmen. Remeber there is also some propagandist theory that Nzeogwu planned to install Awolowo as a president, but they do not deem it fit to release him from prison, only for the Northerner (Gowon) to come to his aid later on.

They should thank him for starving their kids or giving every igbo man 20 pounds. Sometimes I don't know what this old men takes that makes them reason like small boys

Conner44:
Nigeria beats it’s chest for subduing Biafra in the past civil war. A war where everyone else in the country was against just a section of it.

When an army of over 300 tribes (with continuous external aid) attacked just highest 10 other tribes waging a war that lasted for years. Then after using starvation they are happy there was a surrender.

That scenario is like David and Goliath fight but this time Goliath won ... how? By begging his soldiers to surround and box tiny David into a corner knowing fully well that he couldn’t defeat tiny David all by himself.

Cowards.

IGBOSON1:

Opadokun was saying nothing reasonable! You people that keep on trying to force the narrative that Awo as a person was blameless in his conduct before, during and immediately after the uncivil war are responsible for the abuse and curses the man keeps on receiving from some Igbos and other Biafrans! You wouldn't allow him to RIP with this your revisionist attitude!

Toroso:
20 pounds your lazy fathers n forefathers never worked for or did your father told you he went into any bank he saved at with his check and was never paid the balance on such check book?!

Chukapage:
Point of correction Ojukwu released Awolowo from The Calabar prisons! Gowon had no absolute power to release Prisoners in order Regions because we operated a Regional System of Government then!

LegendHero:


Stop this lie please. Ojukwu never released Awolowo, Yakubu Gowon did. I have all the tape where Yakubu Gowon did and even the press brief for the day.

Ojukwu was a Chief propagandist just like Nnamdi Kanu now, the Biafran war was built on lies and deceit. He deceived his people with a lot of things and conjured a lot of lies to justify going to the war.

The problem of you guys is that you just believe the lies perpetrated by your old people without researching them, stop disgracing yourselves on a public forum. The Yorubas are intelligent humans that knows how to argue with fact and not emotions.

Attached is the picture of Gowon with Awolowo after releasing him.

Chukapage:
lol the same Boro that was killed by the North? Or the Awolowo that was used and betrayed by the North? Even Benjamin Adekunle your war zealot how did he end ? Lol the North used you lots . The same Ojukwu they called "rebel" came back and Competed for presidency ,The same "rebel" was given state burial what was the North really afraid of? Because the know another Eastern rebellion will smash Nigeria because the Know ALL REGIONS WILL MAKE SMARTER DIFFERENT CHOICES!

Chukapage:
those pictures doesn't proof shit! Do you want to see Ojukwu s picture with PA Awolowo? Yorubas are intelligent then igbos are "emotional" ok Solomon we don't hear bye!

But majority of the Yorubas want you to leave now just like the northerners and what are you doing about it?
