Do Yorubas Deserve Apology From Igbos?
« on: October 03, 2009, 10:50 PM »

Some Igbos transfered their hatred for Awolowo to other Yorubas even though these innocent Yorubas didn't know when and how the politics was played hence,  broadcasting to all and sundry that Yorubas are not to be trusted. Hausas dubbed that notion too, that is why the regiment hausa guy last month said Yorubas cannot be trusted.


If Awolowo[may he burn in hell]  betrayed Ojukwu, what has it got to do with other Yorubas?. Shouldn't Igbos be apologizing to Yorobas for accusing them falsely?

guy wetin concern you with 1960's politics?

Igbo's shouldn't apologize to youruba's for jack sh!t cos igbos didnt do jack Sh!t,  If an igbo man has palava with a youruba man and vice versa na their own personal wahala be dat. e no concine me,

Me i get along with everyone and might have beef with tunde but that is because he is tunde and not becuase he is youruba,

We should start judging based on character and not ethnicity

I don't understand why igbos do not understand that wen you point a finger, 3 more fingers are pointing back at you.

Below is an excerpt showing that Yorubas have been tolerant even to a fault . . . yet all you have is Igbos and Hausas accusing yorubas of one thing or another  Undecided Undecided Undecided Undecided


1. I know ZIK was implicated in the first coup that was spearheaded by Igbos. This is because records and accounts shows that ZIK actually knew about the coup in advance and failed to warn some of the people that ended up getting killed. Meaning that ZIK had blood on his hands.

2. The most astonishing discovery now is that the British actually rigged ZIK into power . . . notice the excerpt below.

Quote
The British government was concerned that the result of independence might lead to partition. They regarded the Northern region as a bulwark against opposition. Professor Anderson explained that British analysts at the time thought that West Africa as a whole with its high levels of poverty was highly vulnerable to communism.

The politics of the North was dominated by the Northern Peoples’ Congress Party (NPC). Britain was aware that the NPC would be unable to rule an independent Nigeria by itself and would need the support of a major party in the East or West.

This is why, explains Smith, he had been ordered to help the party of Dr Azikiwe (Zik), in the East, the NCNC. He explained: “They had to fix Zik of course, there was stuff they have got him for that could send him to prison ,  [they] forced him to do a deal with the North.”

Smith is adamant the orders to help the NCNC came from the top, the governor general Sir James Robertson. Smith described Robertson as “a thug and he had a terrible reputation, We loved Africans, but these people who came to do this job were a different breed, these were the ex-SOE [British Secret Service outfit set up during the Second World War] and MI6.”

Its high time Igbos stop having the victim mentality, stop having a domineering spirit and start facing the truth for once in their lives . . .the problem is that the truth seems to show that Hausas and Igbos owe more to Yorubas than yorubas owe to either of them.

I know that the past is hard to forget, but people need to stop judging others based on what was beyond their control. As if all yoruba people could have stopped awolowo and the shit that happed in the past Undecided

N2A,

I told them repeatedly already that AWO won that election but because he was blackballed, they eliminated him from the Presidency and any remote opportunity to form opposition at Federal level.  AWO was ambitious and had already installed infrastructures bankrolled independently by AG throughtout the Western region. Universal health plan, free public education, Trade boards and Farmers cooperatives, public broadcasting and information, etc. . .  He demonstrated reliably that he was competent and resourcefull to lead the country away from external dependency and obeisance to London.  The Brits viewed that as a direct competition for supremacy and feared that the indigenes will now become peers, rather than subordinates. 

To maintain the status quo, they needed a weak-willed indigene that can be manipulated along easily and trusted not to upset the boat.  AWO was not that person, he was too much of a visionary to be contained.

Unfortunately, some igbos have been brainwashed to the point of unbelief. They hate Yorubas and they don't even know why.

History of nigeria shows that Yorubas have more than enough right to reciprocate the hatred (something that is wrong and unbiblical), yet you still find that Yorubas are more open . . . and forgiving than normal. Hence history shows that Yorubas in most cases do not reciprocate the hatred . . . instead yorubas tend to focus on actually trying to live in harmony with others despite the precendents of history.

I am really tired of all this nonsense.

Out of all the regions, Yorubas would have turned Nigerian into a great African country, if Awolowo had succeeded to get into power. Most of the infrastructures in the West today were done mostly during the lifetime of Awolowo.

Hence the effect of the so called Oil dividend pales in comparison to the so called Cocao dividends of the Western Region.

What about the yorubas that hate igbos and do not know why?. Their parents inculcate that hatred in them and they grew with it. I suspect you are one of them.

Dude, stop patting yourself on the back. How can you effectively judge Yorubas attitude on non Yorubas when you are not non Yoruba?. The Yoruba tribalists will mete out their wickedness on a non Yoruba and not you. So, ask the non Yorubas to ascertain the veracity of that comment before. Start with the Lagos Yoruba landlords.

The past is not the mirror of the future, cuz change is constant.
Any factor can stimulate the change of the track of the future.

Factors like the habit of not letting go of the past, reprimanding the new generation of the deeds the past generations did.
Ask me, I couldnt care less about the Biafran war, ask me again and I'll tell you what happened during the Ekiti Parapo war Cool
So nobody should be accusing me or branding me a name just because of what Awololo did, I'm not his spirit. Fight the war with his God not me.

We can't erase history, can we?. You are right about forgiving and forgetting so we can move forward. It pains so much tho that Awolowo is exalted in yorubaaland even though he was a living demon who betrayed his friend for tribal gains.

What I am against is visiting their sins on this generation. Many igbos still have that resentment they have for Awolowo on every other yoruba. Hausas too joined the league in calling Yorubas untrustworthy even though Awolowo pled his allegiance to them. Yorubas have their own issues too; they jump at igbos for any resistance they perceive even if it's from hausa, Nupe, Esan etc. They will prefer to blame the igbo for their woes.

It'd be inhumane for humans to automatically forget the past. Even after forgiveness.
It doesnt mean we should let our past control the way we treat another person that is perfectly innocent to the events of the past. Its unfair and unjust. 
Like I said before, nobody has the right to demand any apology from me, the children of my generation and after for something we had no control of. And we will not seat and be harshly treated for something we dnt care about.

The reason why we study the past is to gain knowledge From it. To understand the causation of the good and bad, so we can prevent chaotic past from reemerging. The past, in my opinion is NOT a reflection of the future, its something we can gain knowledge from to form a better future.

obviously, that is not going to happen in Nigeria. we have leaders and citizens who still prefer their ass as an habitat for their head.

aloy emeka loves to sniff Yoruba butt- i know wonder why.

He always snoops around to find signs of people who either dislike Yoruba, who say they're not Yoruba, or some other such way of quietly underminig what he thinks is Yoruba solidarity.

This thread now he seemingly opened because he says a hausa man dislikes Yoruba. Another one was to dispute if Badagry are Yoruba (he thought that was a big blow to the Yoruba psyche). Other times he'll be on the trail of Yoruba criminals abroad.

One has to wonder why he finds it impossible to leave Yoruba matter alone?  He also excels at labelling other people tribalists as a smear tactic to shut them up while he continues his own racist and xenophobic tribalism. (dont feed me that Yoruba g/f crap plz. I could care less and the girl if real must be a fool).


I know why- its his contribution to the war effort. Undecided Lips sealed

naijas and saboteurism. Undecided

Ok, aloy emeka- hausas dont like Yoruba, just like the Igbo people dont like Yoruba.

Its because of the Yoruba's ugliness, fetish behavior and general overall nastiness. Plus Awolowo made Igbos lose the war and caused the death of millions. Other Yorubas also killed too many Igbo people during the war.

That's why Yorubas are suffering today.

happy now? Huh abi your work never finish.

Now can you carry your irritating housefly nature elsewhere because you wont know what hit you when the time comes.

lol yorubas arent suffering you dont hear them fleeing to china and south africa as asylum seekers. The Dynamics of all tribes in Nigeria changed since the discovery of oil. The majority of all folksrr comfortable in Nigeria enjoying Oil money, so dont be fooled. The elite igbos as well are enjoying the Oil money of ND and are comfortable. For the most part its about the oil in the ND not any civil war. Most of Nigeria keeps it in mind as a lesson and has moved past it.

We can't erase history, can we?. You are right about forgiving and forgetting so we can move forward. It pains so much tho that Awolowo is exalted in yorubaaland even though he was a living demon who betrayed his friend for tribal gains.

What I am against is visiting their sins on this generation. Many igbos still have that resentment they have for Awolowo on every other yoruba. Hausas too joined the league in calling Yorubas untrustworthy even though Awolowo pled his allegiance to them. Yorubas have their own issues too; they jump at igbos for any resistance they perceive even if it's from hausa, Nupe, Esan etc. They will prefer to blame the igbo for their woes.

Im still yet too see any yoruba blame any tribe for Nigeria. so please stop lying. Igbos are nt on yorubas minds. Igbos arent hated by yorubas they more or less dont matter Simple.

I dont even know if Awolowo is even looked at as a hero in yorubaland. How? He didnt save anything to become a hero. If anything in yorubaland hes viewed as a symbol of progressiveness, that EVERY african should want to replicate. Whether anyone like Awo or not, people respect him for his contributions to Nigeria, even still today no person has even done an ounce of what he did in 7 years.

Incase you didnt know yorubas are yoruba and have come into the 21 century by not blaming other tribes for whats happening in Nigeria, unlike other ethnicities Yorubas have been shedding that archaic image of tribal selfishness. They have been viewing themselves as Yoruba ethnicity and not an armyused to dominate and regulate things in Nigeria. The simple thing is that the yoruba is an ethnicity Fashola is a good leader who is yoruba NOT a leader of yorubas. Wole soyinka is an activist who is yoruba and NOT an activist for yorubas only. Gani is a yoruba NOT a yoruba leader. Yorubas are starting to look at themselves as being of yoruba heritage NOT A REPRESENTATIVES OF ALL YORUBAS. [size=5t]even me thisyoruba this n that is getting lame i dont represent anyone besides myself.[/size] This is the 21 century, the need for tribal unity is gone and no more needed. One would think that after the betrayal of leaders from all tribes this would be gone.

Others in Nigeria need to come out of their caves and stop thinking just because someone is of the same ethnicity, it means they represent the whole ethnicity. So far people of yoruba ethnicity( Wole, Gani,Fashola, even OBJ himself) proud of being yorubas but dont see themselves as savior of the yoruba tribe or head of yorubas.

Aloy you need to get like me GROW up and leave dis alone. sjeezy don past dis stage. Wink Grin Tongue
