Was there a time the Yoruba tribe got into the business of Niger Delta, the indigenes of the various tribes occupying the Niger Delta are all vocal about any issue concerning their welfare. An average Yoruba person on the streets of southwest states care not about Niger Delta or Biafra. Our brothers in the north central zone are much in communion with the Yoruba spirit of their kind in the west. 8 Likes 1 Share |

I think the Yoruba people are less concerned about the Niger Delta save their desire for their kinsmen in Edo(largely Akoko Edo, Owan , Etsako and the Itsekiri from Delta) I feel the Yoruba are focusing more on that than the oil in the Niger Delta. |

Markfemi2:Does it matter, whether they are placed in north due to the skewed geographical zoning/manipulation of Nigeria, we have Yorubas in Benin republic and are still Yoruba in bone and blood, what should matter is their affiliation to culture and tradition which are not found wanting in the Yorubas of northern Nigeria, lest I forget Yorubas aren't the only tribe suffering from this rough arrangement. |

Nbote:Both parties are guilty in that regard, those comments you see are just way to ridicule the Igbo struggle just the same Igbos indulge in the same. It's not what you should sweat yourself about, people are naturally passionate about their tribes, both parties should just tone down the vitrols, because you're sowing hatred you most likely will regret when it bears fruit. |

I don't know why we Yoruba always meddle with igbos whenever they are talking about biafra. Igbos have never claimed any of the Yoruba lands since they started agitating for biafra, why are we always disturbing them when they talk about biafra? Why are we jealous that Delta, some parts of edo, rivers,akwa ibom, cross river bayelsa are all part of biafra? Why are we always trying to fight for the so called nigerdeltans? Don't nigerdelta people have the mouth to fight for themselves? Oh, Yoruba, ilorin is fast turning to northern state yet we don't care but at every slightest mention of biafra we will start rationing biafra for the biafrans even when it's not our business. Do we love igbos so much to always wanna meddle in their affairs? are we afraid that we won't be able to prosper when they finally get biafra, Yoruba we need to believe in ourselves and start thinking of our problems and stop helping biafrans think of their own. We claim sophistication but were dont act like it. we help our neighbors decide their home but our home has not been decided!!! We need to start reasoning as true yorubas and not as Yoruba Muslims. @op Thank You for redircting our lost cause. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Markfemi2:Quit blabbing like a child. What have you done about those in Benin republic and Togo, when the time comes those in the north central zone know where they belong, if you're not convinced go through the 2014 confab reports. |

Ereolamide: The French colonised those ones Of the 30 towns in Kwara only one was lost and Yorubas should agitate to have it back Pre independence Kwara was under western control In order to to give North more seats and punish west British allocated more towns from old oyo to form Kwara ekiti to form Kogi Know your history All Yorubas should be in one enclave And awolowo fought to put them back in western region |

Markfemi2:Will you keep quiet, what will your wailing on nairaland result to, unless there is restructuring which afenifere and other socio political groups in the country are clamouring for is implemented, your rants will only echo through the virtual walls of nairaland. The Yoruba of kwara and kogi never for once denied their Yorubaness, most of Yoruba movie stars, lawyers, doctors are from Kwara, so stop bleating about a non-issue. 1 Like |
