PointB:

Yoruba provided nada! Nigeria did! If Yoruba think they are bigger and better than Nigeria - secession is a worthy option. Either they do that or stop disturbing the peace of the nation with the host nonsense.
Igbos came back to Lagos the then federal capital because it was logical thing to do; Yoruba had no choice then and also have no choice now than to accept the consequence of the victory over biafra. You wanted one Nigeria, here is it - Igbos in your face. Suck it up and stop winning like a woman.

What is the meaning of that in bold.?

Yes a civil war was fought ..won and lost. A fact

However that doesn't remotely translates to that Nigeria don't have indigenous people living in it different parts...that is the essence of tribe and state of origin in any statutory government documents on such issues.

Know where your limit is when it comes to governance and control of state affairs.

Your politics in illegal and unconstitutional

In conclusion, allow me to give you a visual of the Nigerian Constitution.

The Yorubaman takes the constitution and arranges the pages in layers by his front door. Its a footmat for all the dirt and mud he wants to keep out of his house. It is the border between the chaos outside and the order inside. When it is soiled, he crunples it up and throws away in dustbin outside and lays a fresh constitution footmat.

The Hausaman takes the constitution and tears two pages out. He rumples and scrubs the hard leaves continously until it becomes softened and pliable on the skin. He enters into latrine with pages of constitution in one hand and a bottle full of water in the other. When he steps out he throws soiled paper in a toxic waste bin, washes hand with remaining water and walks away nonchalantly.

The Iboman says there is good money in recycling business. He collects and recycles constitution papers, toxic and non-toxic. He explains that he is a very important and indispensable factor to Yorubaland and Hausaland because if it wasn't for his ingenuity at recycling their wastebins will not be emptied out and will over run with waste. When told that his own wastebins back home is overfilled and to go empty that he responds that if he did that there will be no one left in Yorubaland and Hausaland who can empty wastebins.

Moreover he argued, the orderliness inside Yorubaman house is so dear and important to him that if the man ran out of recycled constitution to wipe feet on then chaos will replace the orderliness of the interior and he, the recycler, will feel a sense of guilt and sadness, not even his own overfilled wastebin back home will grieve him more.

To the Hausaman he says, if he did not empty the toxic bin the Hausaland will be overtaken by toxic odour and people get sick. Therefore his moneymaking recycling business isbwhat is saving Hausaland from disease. When reminded of the toxic waste overtaking his own land Iboman replied and said the cleanliness of Hausaman bottom is far more priority to him because he knows the man cannot enter mosque in a state of uncleaness and if he Iboman had to go home then no one is left to empty toxic constitution and recycle it for fresh ones to wipe bottom with and this laxity will grieve his spirit far more than any epidemic sickness that the abandoned toxic in his own homeland could bring to his people.


Ibos need to protect the constitution by all means because they are a direct collateral of its deficiencies.

same way your folks fled to Benin rep during the June 12 crisis lol.

anyway such is nature of conflict. Some will leave some will stay. Igbos will not fire the first shot to ignite a crisis in Lagos or else where, but rest assured there will be enough of us left to defend whatever we consider our interest should some of you vagabonds decides to bring your hallucinations to the real world.

You are always talking like a naive kid.

Ibos will never do anything collectively in the case any hostility breaks out. As usual you people will do things individually ...running away as fast as your legs can carry you.

So in your usual delusion...Yorubas will bolt to Benin Rep for Ibos? Lolzzzzzz ..

If it get to that stage it pointless fighting. Everyone will walk away. Until then you folks should learn to suck it up and enjoy the one Nigeria Obj and black scorpion fought for. You all should be happy and grateful to have Igbos in your midst. I don't understand where from this ingratitude.

Yoruba army was not defunct. Biafra was the one defunct. Therefore One Nigeria is for Ibos. Yoruba never lost its Nigerianess, the footprint has not changed. The tenets of ONE NIGERIA is for Ibo, you make sure you continously strive for it. However, Statehood is for Yoruba and we shall not compromise on it.

READ THE CONSTITUTIONS OF YOUR ONE NIGERIA AND ABIDE BY THEM, (or the JTF will help you).
Stop exhibiting this tribal myopia that is clogging your reasoning process.

I find your insistence on the Nigerian constitution quite laughable. On the one hand, Ibos consistently say that they cant wait for the actualisation of the great Biafra dream; you do not fail to remind us that Yorubas are cowards and you are all lionhearted and courageous people. You tell us these utopian stories of how you are industrious and money making machines , you never cease to repeat that you are the most industralised part of the Nigerian polity and will gain the most from the break up of Nigeria.

Paradoxically, the actual reality bears no semblance to the aforementioned rhetoric, in actual fact, Ibos are nomadic and most of the wealth they have is gained in other regions of Nigeria. Ibos claim to the bedrock of investment in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and almost everywhere in Nigeria but this massive economic advantage and superiority they claim to have has not translated into the development of their own states. Your states are desolate, or how else can you explain the constant migration of Easterners to other parts of Nigeria?

You come to Lagos and the SW where you are given an enabling environment to carry out your business because it is the one place where you can find buyers with the purchasing power to buy your goods, the SW opened their arms and welcomed you in your droves and gave you opportunities to educate your children, build houses, be part of our governance systems and then what do you do? You tell us that Lagos is no mans land and belongs to everyone- that is a classic example of biting the fingers that fed you. Unlike some other tribes who will instantaneously put you in your place using very ruthless means, we have tried to reason with you and explain to you that your actions will only lead to disaster. As usual, you will fail to be reasonable but continue to poke us in the eye.

It is now convenient for you to start quoting parts of the constitution to support your evil ambitions. Does the constitution also permit you to migrate to any part of Nigeria and say it is no mans land? If everywhere in Nigeria is no mans land, why cant Fulani herdsmen peacefully feed their cattle without fear in your villages? How many Yorubas are Permanent Secretaries in your civil service? Actually how many non-indigenes are workers in the civil service in your state?

You are clutching at straws here and the handwriting is on the wall. I will finish by reminding you of a popular saying- You can push a man to the wall but you cannot push him into the wall- he will have no choice but to react and fight back.
