Igbos Cemented Nigeria's Unity. Hausas And Yorubas Divided It With The Pogrom by Justcash(m): 12:18am On Dec 27, 2011
I read this topic; https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-832752.0.html and noticed that some Yorubas are trying hard to shift the blame to the Igbos. They tend to forget that they betrayed the Igbos by joining the North to pillage the East of Nigeria. They have seen the consequence of their foolishness and are now trying to find who to blame.

It is in the records that Nnamdi Azikiwe, an Igbo man, singlhandedly ensured unity in the country. In his pursuit for unity, he spread his ideology to his people, the Igbos, and we spread through out Nigeria, taking every nook and cranny as our home and country. Yorubas and Hausas never did the same. They stuck in their regions, nursing ethnic concerns and searched for an opportunity to instill division and disharmony. They succeeded with the pogrom after some Nigerian soldiers carried out a coup. They perceived the coup as an Igbo coup due to their myopic and ethnic biased views, even though the coup was botched by an Igbo man, Aguiyi Ironsi. They pounced on Igbos and caused a war that cemented their wish for a divided country.

Is this the one Nigeria that the West (Yorubas) collaborated with the North (Hausa/Fulanis) to maintain?! Imagine the spate of deaths from the suicide missions being carried out by the Children and Grand Children of the hausa/fulanis that killed millions to ensure unity!!!!!

Northerners and Westerners should bow their heads in shame. They have ruined the lives of many through their short shortsightedness. They have condemned Nigeria to death through their own lack of vision. Even the Northerners and Westerners are dying in droves too.

Boko Haram will soon venture into the west. When they start bombing Lagos, Oyo, Ekiti etc, Yoruba children, including the naive ones on Nairaland trying to shift the blame on Igbos will ask their parents e.g. Adekunle, Why they fought to retain the cesspit called Nigeria.

I laugh in Chinese.

Calm down brother, we do not wish harm on any group.

They are trying to make the Ndigbo the scapegoat again. Do you see us doing the bombing?

We have every right to be pisssed with Nigeria, but we have not turned to violence.

The Ndigbo cherish life and have practiced "One Nigeria."

The highlighted, with regards to Jonathan, is partly the reason for this thread. They have been living in denial about GEJ and it is time to call them to order.

Igbos cemented the unity by killing other regional leaders and sparing theirs

Yes, I killed your dad to save you.
