Childish. Get out!

Ojukwu knows best why the Yorubas should not be toyed with.

Why do you think the average Igbo man hated Awolowo to this moment?? That is the answer to your question.

mrvitalis:

Oga if there is zoning then its the turn of south east ...anything other than that there is no zoning n north has the right to contest as much as south west

johntolu:


Thanks a lot for your stout defence of Yoruba History & Heritage, 'Omo-Iya mi'.
Isedale Yoruba, a gbe wa o, Aase!

Obdk:





Of course 2003 was only yoruba candidates too... Nonsense

AmuDimpka:


That was the greatest mistake Ojukwu made....trusting Awolowo

Osaze007:


Ojukwu nko Loool

LegendHer0:


Did Awolowo ever signed a pact with Ojukwu? What do you mean by trusting Awolowo?

Zik and Balewa government put Awo in prison on trump up charges of treason.

The barrack boys (Majorly Igbos) killed our premier Akintola and some Yoruba leaders.

Gowon released Awolowo from prison.

So why should Awolowo be loyal to Ojukwu, tell me one reason!

AmuDimpka:


The greatest mistake was trusting Awolowo... Awolowo had an agreement with Ojukwu

Only to turn around... unfortunately majority of Yoruba Re like that ...if you doubt me ask around ! Just ask around and don't quote me

Ask how people view the Yoruba and trust issues ! It is them would say not me

LegendHer0:


Please what is the agreement Ojukwu had with Awolowo? You have to speak with fact coz I have all the archives with me from verifiable sources.

If you can’t mention what agreement an Awolowo who just left prison some couple of month back before the war had with Ojukwu, then keep shut bro and stop regurgitating the fairy tales you heard from your elders.

I watched the video where Ojukwu lied to his people that he released Awolowo and I was ashamed for the whole Igbo race. How would an elder stateman like Ojukwu lie on national TV when in actual fact documentable evidence showed Gowon released Awo.

Ojukwu was a master propagandist, he had a meeting with Awolowo where Awo told him about the need to restrain himself for a while so that the western region can be prepared or so that the issue can be sorted out in an amicable way that wouldn’t need war.

Awo later made the famous statement telling the North that if they made the Igbo secede by threatening them then the Yoruba will follow suit. Ojukwu banked on that statement and had to declare secession straight away by not heeding to Awo’s advice so that he can blackmail Awo into the war.

How do you expect a civilian like Awo to start a war at such a short lead time ? Ojukwu and Gowon are generals then who had in their hand lot of ammunitions and experience as soldiers. Even if Awo will mobilize the Yoruba military, shouldn’t Ojukwu have given them time to prepare also?

Ojukwu is a deranged proud man, he thought he could fight on his own without alliance and he attacked Ore in act of provocation, and drafted the Yorubas into the insane war of ego.

Blablabla

That one na such a long letter and I no even read am ...who cares

The greatest mistake was trusting Awolowo. Till date majority of the Yoruba have trust issues.... Ask any Nigerian period

Osaze007:


Na una sabi that one as for I’m supporting any presidency from the south but rooting for south west

When would you guys stand up for something...bunch of cowards and dirty minded people ...I would be ashamed if I am from Benin or Yoruba

Ecstasy154:
The Yoruba Council of Elders, YCE, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to, without further delay, call the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai to order.

The Yoruba elders pointed out that the campaign by the north to contest the 2023 presidency with the South will plunge the country into a major crisis.

It said there should be no controversy over 2023, adding that it is the South’s turn in 2023 to takeover power.

YCE, scribe, Dr Kunle Olajide warned that Northern politicians must not make careless statements or remarks that can plunge Nigeria into crisis since Nigeria is a fragile country, and presently tottering and bleeding.

“Buhari should call APC members to order over 2023. He should call his party members to order. Buhari should call Governor el-Rufai to order. These people are not only distracting Buhari, but they are also disturbing the peace of Nigeria,” he was quoted by Sun.

“There should be no controversy over 2023. It is the South’s turn in 2023. Zoning is sacrosanct, and el-Rufai, Tofa and these groups from the North calling for the scrapping of zoning in 2023 are not only greedy and unpatriotic, but they are also enemies of Nigeria. They want to derail Nigeria. Northern leaders and elders should call el-Rufai, and Tofa to order.

“Nigeria is a fragile country, and presently the country is tottering and bleeding, politicians have to watch it. They must not make careless statements or remarks that can plunge Nigeria into crisis.

“This is what el-Rufai, Tofa and others calling for the scrapping of zoning are doing. If they truly love Nigeria, they should stop making inflammatory statements. They should not allow their personal interests and greed to put Nigeria’s unity in jeopardy.

“Nigeria is already deeply divided, and scrapping zoning is like inviting anarchy. Scrapping zoning will create further division among Nigerians.

“The present zoning arrangement should not be tinkered with. Scrapping zoning will have grave consequences for Nigeria.

“For Tofa and el-Rufai to say that zoning is dead or should be scrapped when it is supposed to be the turn of the South in 2023 is an insult to the sensibilities of Nigerians, and it is not acceptable.

“I believe that Gov. el-Rufai is just testing the waters by saying that zoning should be scrapped, and perhaps he is doing that because of the rumoured reports that he has presidential ambition in 2023, but if he has that ambition, he should just drop or forget it because by now his eyes should be clear that he and others in their group in the North who also have same interest will be resisted.

“Why must el-Rufai, Tofa and others in the North be calling for the scrapping of zoning in 2023 when it is supposed to be the turn of the South? This is why I said earlier that some of these politicians are greedy and very unpatriotic. They don’t think of Nigeria first. They are selfish and self-centred.

“Then again, Tofa and el-Rufai should not think there is one monolithic North again. The North is divided now and you can see that the people of the Middle Belt are already saying that they are no longer part of the North.

“For me, I believe that all these jostling for power at the centre will stop if Nigeria is restructured. If we return to a true practice of federalism like it was done in the First Republic, all these struggles for power at the centre will stop.

“Not only that, restructuring will also put an end to all the present socio-economic woes facing Nigeria. This is what I expect all these elements in the North and APC talking about scrapping zoning in 2023 to tell President Muhammadu Buhari to do.

“If Buhari truly loves Nigeria and also shares the same vision and ideals with the founding fathers of Nigeria, he should take the issue of restructuring serious, and ensure that he does it before the expiration of his second term.”

Osaze007:
Presidency must come from south
Among south east
South south south west

LegendHer0:


Ojukwu was given a national burial after the north massacred 3 million of his tribesmen, what do you call that?

In as much as I hate trying to drag the name of Ojukwu into this, but you left me with no choice coz you actually started all this.

I’m from Ibadan, they don’t call us Ibadan Mesi Ogo for no reason, that’s coz we know the actual reply to any banter.

Continue to speak, I’m here for you boy!

bubu2019:
Don't join South east with your dirty fight.
our last colabor with Yoruba was a disaster, so go fight your fight alone.
and for your information, if Yoruba rule Nigeria by 2023,know that I am not an Igbo man

Femijohn198:
Am a Yoruba but to view this matter very well,if there want to practices full federalism system that those our heroes laid down for us I think it is time for Igbo to contest for president and we Yoruba should support them.but we are afraid because Igbo will bring Biafra and divide the country.

kotv:


I'm not even Igbo but I'm not even surprised, by your actions the only people you think should address you is Igbo and Hausa/Fulani. You people are very arrogant. Very arrogant.

This new interest to maintain the status quo for zoning is for your greed and isn't because of your care about presidency to stay in South. Did you people care about it before? Did you? When it didn't favour you you maligned and disrupted any growth Nigeria was making and now, you people want to be compensated for it? You are mad. Nobody kept Yoruba out of the top four position except Yoruba. It was that same political stupidity of your people that pushed your political irrelevant during GEJ administration. Blame Tinubu for that and noone else. He was the one that stopped the position GEJ attempted to give to you people. You're greedy people and don't deserve to be compensated for putting Nigeria in the level it's at now.

ibelieveu:

You are on your own. South-East or back to the north, until the yorubas get some sense

PaChukwudi44:


Then why are yoruba elders asking the north not to contest? On what basis exactly are yorubas asking the north not to contest? If we are to go strictly by zoning then the SW too should not contest.If the SW insists on contesting then the north too should be allowed to contest

festacman:
The truth is that Northern politicians are running their mouths, flexing their muscles and beating their chests because they have succeeded in putting fear in their Southern colleagues to accept their shenanigans. Unfortunately, what they fail to realize is that a BOYCOTT of election by a UNITED South CRIPPLES everything about 2023 Northern presidency bid and set the stage for something cataclysmic, the end result of which is yet unknown about the continued existence of the country.

If Southern Nigeria made and continues to make compromises by accepting Federal Character and Quota systems to preserve the unity of Nigeria, the North MUST be make their own compromises by accepting rotational presidency for the same goal.

Enough of this anoyingly irrational and shamelessly insensitive posturing. Northern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria need each other to exist as Nigeria. No entity is superior to the other.

Come 2023, if North retains the presidency as though nobody is capable in the South, the Southern leaders would have absolutely nobody to blame but themselves. Nobody takes you seriously until you assert yourself and time has come for that in view of feelers from the North.

LegendHer0:


Azikwe was not even elected, he just formed a government with Balewa to become figure head executive president.

No Igbo man have ever faced the ballot and won in a democracy. They should achieve that feat first before complaining about the far superior Yorubas!

LegendHero:


It was actually Azikwe greed that got the Igbos cornered and rendered a major ethnic group like your eternal slaves. If not for Azikwe greed, the Igbos would have been calling the shots in Nigeria.

Seems you just finished smoking weed, so APC will field an Igbo vice in 2023? I’m even discussing with a kindergarten here.

SW worked for the presidency, we don’t go about threatening or abusing other tribe, MKO fought for it and got elected through the ballot, OBJ reap the benefit of MKO during those period. Even when NADECO was fighting the military, they did not go about insulting the whole north or taking it personal.

Your only work towards achieving a presidency in 2023 is constant threat about leaving Nigeria, abusing other tribes, shouting marginalization, and constant hate.

The Igbo man cannot be pleased, if you’re both given $50 to spend, the Igbo man will still complain that your notes are new and his own is old notes. They are NEVER contented.

Question: what work has the Igbos put in to become the presidential flag bearer of APC?

35824L:
If PDP cannot trust the Sad east with its ticket in 2023, why should APC? Any party that gives iboes their ticket in 2023 has already lost the election in advance and no party will be stupid to make that mistake.

hammerVJ:

Greedy Things, so u know the above and acting as if 2023 is do or die?

Let me ask u, who does it look like Yoruba can threaten in Nigeria?

Only small Ijaw, will correct your Mess up.

mercyville:


Everybody is thinking in this line except some unscrupulous Igbos.

If APC fields an Igboman and PDP fields an Igboman,the Igbos will always vote for PDP ...and APC will lose power to PDP.

I tire for these people o o.

Fine n dandy.....then let them go! Simple

"I'm not happy in this marriage, I won't stop cheating, and I refuse to give you divorce" wtf kind of thinking is that??

You think you said something smart. But that kind of thinking is EXACTLY what can unite the igbos to even be more dogmatic in their quest. Look how much noise this Biafra thing is making and igbos are not even united YET! If igbo goes, the break up of Nigeria is imminent. That is a fact to anyone with common sense n reasoning

Keep on underestimating your 3rd wife thinking she's young n stupid...we shall see
