The Igbos have shown the minorities that a true brother is one that fights your battle with you. Though the election was lost by Jonathan, the support he got from the Igbos can not be overestimated. Also, the Unity it brought among the minorities is unprecedented.

I got to understand that the dislike and sabotage Jonathan got from the Yorubas was because of the support he was getting from the Igbos as they always feel they are in competition. Some have said to me that Jonathan is building the second Niger bridge and asked why he did not build the fouth mainland bridge for them in Lagos and that he did not give them juicy appointments while one of the first things he did was to reward the Igbos with various appointments including the first chief of army staff they never had since the civil war.

Despite the disappintment, I feel this alliance should be consolidated to build a powerful block for the future. The two sides should forget whatever have divided them in the past and retain this brotherhood for the sake of future generations because NIGERIA CAN NEVER BE ONE. Since the Yorubas chose to align with the Hausa/Fulani which I strongly believe will be shortlived judging from history, the South/South and South/East leaders should see the positive side of the Jonathan presidency and if posible try to bring in the middle belt minorities to form a formidable alliance against the hegemony that the Hausa/Fulani will want to re establish.

Good politics is being able to think ahead and prepare for the future.

The bolded above is a fallacy and only the thoughts of the few you spoke with. The Yoruba as a people gave GEJ the required minimum 25% votes in all the states, this was nt obtained in the north. These are people who gave GEJ their votes in the 2011 election.

greatbygrace:
You have no point. The yorubas gave Jonathan a fighting chance. How can you bring your friends' silly point of view and make it the yourbas point of view.

Jonathan lost because He is a weak leader, nothing more. Face the fact and stop using tribal sentiments to divide the nation.
I dont want to believe you are speaking for the igbos, because I know igbos who are way more intelligent than this.

If Buhari doesn't perform, then lets kick him out. Power belongs to the people (every Nigerian) not to any party or particular tribe.

Scatterboss:


God bless you. Dont mind these tribalist, he won in Ekiti but lost in all the core North. Insulting the Yorubas makes them feel good and fulfilled.

Tranquill:


We know who the tribalists are. They are those Yoruba 'intellectuals' and 'professiors' that met in Ibadan to declear that "any Youruba person that votes for Jonathan must be a bastard".

Tranquill:


Apart from Ekiti the 25% that GEJ got in other states were made possible by the non Yorubas that reside there combined with the few Yoruba votes.

Dude, take your pills before sleeping.

In my opinion...
what the op is insinuating is terrible tribalism, backwardness and highly disgusting. (no insults)
To suggest openly that Yoruba states shouldn't have voted for the best interest of themselves and the country but to vote for Jonathan in order to support SS/SE ?
What logical reasoning allows such thoughts?
In the future, when the SE manages to present an Igbo presidential candidate on a major party ticket is this what the campaign would be about? Vote for him to support the SE?
Please Igbos should stop doing this to themselves. All this tribal and ethnic sentimental talk is working against you.

These people are noise makers. Abeg don't reply them jare. They supported you in 2011. You want them to turn to your slaves? To vote for your brother all the time because they are brainless like you?

Kudos to the Yorubas! I will vote for a Yoruba candidate in 2019 regardless of the party

Very apt write up from a fair weather friend...

Tranquill:


Lol fair weather friend? Far from it.
At least you could see my position on working with the Igbos devoid of hatred or malice but when the same people come online every day to insult people, show some tendencies to dominate rather than work with others, open thread almost every day to disparage and fabricate lies against Ikwerre people and others who disagree with their views, you don't expect people to keep quiet.

You've almost squandered the chance of having a working alliance with the minorities as you allow and support ipod and other minions to continue disrespecting and insulting others.
