And yorubas were not sold as slaves? How did you think the yoruba language got to brazil and cuba?
Yorubas were also sold off enmass and became nothing of worth. Atleast a number of igbo slaves stood out and changed the course of history both locally and even internationally.

Hence being sold in slavery is sometin to bee proud of!

I wish my ancestor were sold so I won't be born in nigeria!

Despite the problems of the North, its people do not go about sowing seeds of hate and subversion around the country.

So, we must thank them for their enlightenment in this regard and condemn Igbos for being the opposite.

Of course you are pained, truth hurts.
His post was quite enlightening... I think you're the pained one here undecided

Yorubas were never like this during the June 12 saga. We actively campaigned for what is right for the country not ask for the Southwest to be carved out of Nigeria,.

We also never supported the bad tendencies of former President Obasanjo when he was in power.

In fact, you can say Yorubas are polar opposites of Igbos politically.
dnt mind the guy joorh,he is confused

This is the same yoruba people that have been touted as perpetual opposition since the 60s. Well, this is what just four years in the sun does to you. It causes hallucination and unwarranted arrogance.Power obviously does not suit these people.
When the tide of power shifts to its original equilibrium like it was before the buhari era, you ain't getting it back.

Never knew Obasanjo is an Ibo man. Lol

A yoruba muslim ile kewu arabic school graduate is advising Igbo how to play politics. 'I guess his number one advise will be -'Remove all your kings and put a fulani emirate in your land like we muslim yorubas did'. grin


When I was in kano during a riot in the 90s, these same yoruba muslim charlatans were running to Sabon gari to hide in Igbo shops when their fulani brothers-in-Islam wanted to show them 'true love' with matches.

I presume the thread should have been titled " Igbo love for the Yorubas". There is no love lost among both tribes. The only thing that gives me joy is that my people now understand their doors as been opened far too long to a potential enemy who will go to any length to circumvent whatever progress that can be earned or as been achieve in their region. A Yorubas adage says " oju ni alakan fi so ori". People let's get wise bigotry might not be ideal in the 21st but when dealing with an enemy with this magnitude of hate please use it to avoid stories that hurt

[s]It is very simple, you cannot be conniving against the progress of Nigeria and effectively benefit from it.

This concept is not alien to you because a large part of your population are spread outside the Southeast and you behave well enough to be accepted as fellow Nigerians.

However, when it comes to national politics, you simply have consistently failed to be circumspect. Let me give you an example, Igbos were the noisiest in supporting the misrule of Goodluck Jonathan as President for 5 years. In that period, you failed to encourage him to build Nigeria, worse still to help develop your region that is ravaged by underdevelopment.

Now, that the man you majorly do not support is in power, you are encouraging subversion and beating the drums of war.

How then can you be political relevant in Nigeria? You cannot and will not be.

Oh, I forgot, you are fighting for Biafra. It would have been fun to allow you have it but you would mess that up and still want to eat from the rest of Nigeria like you currently are.

Sorry, you will not be able to eat your cake and have it. So, the choice is yours, become progressive in your political outlook or remain backwards in Nigeria.

You can make all the noise you want on the Internet, it won't change facts on ground.

Respect to my enlightened and sophisticated Igbo friends, you will forgive me ffor addressing your politically-unsophisticated brethren, making too much noise in Nigeria. [/s]
so are yorubas in the mainstream politics of Nigeria? This is pure comedy.. Yorubas are now trying to save face after their candidate has been exposed as fraud. Yorubas want to be igbos so bad but its so unfortunate they cant catch up.. Anyway, wait for our next move cheesy cheesy cheesy

Ibos wants the best things in Nigeria but they hate Nigeria. Ibos hate Hausa, Yoruba, Fulani, Kanuri, Igbira, Tiv, Junkun, even Ijaws, Itsekiri, Urhobo e.t.c. Ibos only like Ibos. Anybody who is not an Ibo is an enemy to Ibos.

Ibos wanted One Nigeria when their adopted son the ineffectual buffon husband of the cantankerous sheppopo was president and was sharing more money than the nation was making with his gang of looters.The drunk fisherman has lost election after bankrupting the country, Ibos now want Biafra. What a people! Ibos now say "give us Biafra or death". We can't give them Biafra and they can't take it themselves either, if they want death, they are free to die.
shut up!

Its very obvious that the reason yorubas supported this economic illiterate called Buhari was out of jealousy of what they termed the GEJ administration favoring igbos... Nothing else.. Now that the yoruba messiah Buhari have used and dumped them, people like you have become confused on the way forward, hence your opening of threads like this..

Igbos were conquered by which tribe? Haha more delusion.
Infact, the major reason why igbo never created an empire was because there was no existential threat to igbo civilization. The only real threat was the great benin empire and they were stopped at onitsha and even as far as Ika in delta state.
The yorubas on the other hand were beaten black and blue first by the women from benin republic and then by fulani.
The Bini empire was effectively checked at Agbor by obi Adigwe of Agbor

Yes yoloba loved Nigeria that's why they helped put a clueless, uneducated dukkard by the name of Buhari to rule all because GEJ named Igbos "pillar of his administration" rather than them

Yes yoloba love Nigeria that's why they voted in a man that he himself is epitome of corruption and equally know to make the claim " Abacha is non corrupt" all because he gave them a VP slot.

Yes yoloba loved Nigeria that's why during Obasanjo rule, the nation was the most corrupt nation in the world but they over looked it but instead rose us to accuse GEJ who till date yet to back up their propaganda.

Yes GEJ and his administration was corrupt yet ironically, till date, have yet to convict

No Igbo in Nigeria history living or dead in all positive xteristics can stand shoulder to shoulder with Buhari. No Igbo living or dead has administrative record of Buhari. Who is then dullard? Both in Millitary and Democratic rule, u igbos are failures. IGBOS are DULLARDS.
Re: Why Igbos Are Out Of Mainstream Politics In Nigeria by Nobody: 2:08pm On Aug 13, 2016
Its obvious by origin, Igbos are born with hates,live and die with hates. They hates the north and south west but 70% of them survives there. The entire Igbo land by land mass is just 29,095 sqkms less than kogi state with tolal landmass of 29,833 sqkms. They shamelessly always bitting the fingers that is feeding. 90% of all crimes in Nigeria are champion from the zone. Any looter or criminal in nigeria today, be it PDP or APC is there Hero. Militarily and democratically,they are loosers and they will continue to be loosers untill they get common sense.

You kids are too young to know that politics is like a tide,it comes your way today and away in another dispensation. I remember when yorubas were out and they formwd various forms of pressure groups against the govt. Infact they lost out so much that by the time the nation returned to democracy in 1999,the whole nation agreed that they should be compensated with the taste of power. Nobody wrote against them nor made a jest of them.
For once,they click and they now sit to judge others. Na wah oo
Yorubas never worked against the progress of Nigeria, yorubas only fought the military and their misrule, yorubas have always been in opposition but they will not because of that now sabotage Nigeria. Inspite of yorubas being in opposition, they know how to sesperate politics from National development that's why the Southwest is the most developed even with the fact that they have always been in opposition, sense pass power!!!

Those Yoruba groups claiming such had little or no hand in removing Jonathan from power. This should tell you that Yorubas were more focused on his misrule than playing victim based on ethnicity.
