YES!

I am Yoruba, and I'm proud of it.

They call us cowards, because we do not believe in resulting into violence or destruction of national peace to air our views.

We do not struggle for relevance, we simply use our brains, pen and paper. We're more objective and diplomatic.

Yes, we're not perfect, but we did not destroy national peace like other tribes who riot for the sake of Biafra; or those who keep destroying national unity because of their cattle; or those bombing pipelines and savaging the nation's source claiming that they own it etc

I can go on and on, but we are just careful people, who do not drag rights with the indigenes of another land.

Yes we're not perfect, but we have caused lesser harm.

Its a known fact... just look at the power tussle between igbo land Hausa right from independence down to civil war and up till now... Hausas love to be dominant but they lack resources to do that. They are fearful of secession so they want power at all cost so that Nigeria won't break. If Nigeria breaks for in instance, north would just be like Chad and Niger...

We are in this mess today because of Yoruba foolishly followed bubu the dullard from north

Yoruba has never forced herself to power, God just orchestrates it. Get your facts right bro.

And I still stand to be corrected, as bad as OBJs regime may be, if we had continued at that slow rate we wouldn't have gone far beyond this.
There are facts and figures oga. The debt-free and robust treasury we had then has been erased by GEJs regime.

I deal with facts and figures, not assumptions.

NEXT PLEASE!

Stop writing gibberish here and you should also reframe from saying what you don't know. The country called Nigeria today, sardauna NEVER agreed to be part of it. Your leaders{azikwe, awolowo}, pleaded with sir Sirdauna to join the "new nation called Nigeria". These are facts with evidences/proofs and not the horseshit you people say.

Another e.g was that of late major general murtala ramat Mohammed, he also wanted to take north out of Nigeria.And at the end who pleaded with him? Azikwe has always wanted one Nigeria because of some reasons best known to him, same goes to awolowo.

The only people that opposed the creation of one Nigeria from the start were northerners. So you people should stop trying to rewrite history.

We do not intend blaming.

PMB got to work immediately by demanding for accountability and prosecution of offenders, you guys called it "witch hunt"; then we explained to you why we're doing what is being done, then again you called it blame game.

You definitely don't want Nigeria progressing.

which of the awolowo were you referring to,the one that opposed unified Nigeria,the man that fought for a secession clause when Nigeria was been instituted,that azikwe vehemently refused and ran to sarduana to vote for a unified country because he thought he could play a fast one on the reserved Hausa/Fulani.
the whole problem of Nigeria started with IBOs relentless greed,and they are paying and will continue paying as long as Nigeria exist.

If Yorubas aren't a major cause of Nigeria problems Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the current Emir of Kano, a Fulani, would not have penned down these truths about Yoruba people without a formidable rejoinder from Yoruba elites: "YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA"?
http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude. 

The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention....

Immediately after the 1960 Independence the Yoruba tribe threw the whole country into a political turmoil with the deadly and boody 'Operation Wetie' which precipitated the January 1966 coup and the 1967-70 civil war.

What about the June 12 crisis in the 1990s that sent many innocent lives to their untimely graves?
Till date Yorubas by virtue of their political 'sophistication', treachery, propaganda and lies are still causing great havocs to this contraption.

N.B: "Operation Wetie" in Yoruba means wet a human being and his/her properties with petrol and set them ablaze.

Yoruba lo sure ju




So proud of my heritage



Yorubas are reasonable, peaceful and wise

Your foolishness no get part two....Awolowo was never blind to Nigeria's diversity and opposed it from the beginning....it was he who said nigeria is a mere geographic expression...

Bullcrap! This is an absolutely bias submission.

So far, the Yorubas are the only ones who do not believe in shunning other tribes in polity or governance. This is even evident in OBJs appointments and dealings as a president. That's even why the Yoruba nation reprove themselves at times because we do not favour our own much like other tribes.

I dont like threads like this. No need to single out any tribe, but the Yoruba nation of old was truly exemplary. At a time, Western Nigeria was paying salaries much higher than the federal government.
I think the solution will be to go back to regional government. Let Biafrans develop SE to the envy of the rest of Nigeria first, SS do the same, and watch the North also get dragged along.
The current system is dysfunctionally lazy. Monthly federal allocations that have made politics easy for the touts in government. The more powerful regional (and state) governments become, the weaker the president will become. When the centre becomes politically weak, then it becomes less attractive to occupy. Hausas can even have the federal government for as long as they want, as long as States are developing rapidly.

This is the only way to bring back good governance to Nigeria. With good governance, ALL tribes will behave themselves.

Nigeria will never move forward with ethnic bullsh*t . are all yorubas same nonsense

Nice one there. I didn't mean to start up any hate or be vindictive here.

I just thought to myself this morning that the Yoruba is not in the current devastations and destruction threatening the national peace ATM. And then I looked since 1999 and found it the same.

Honestly, were it not for how unstable Nigeria is currently, splitting up may be better.

This is why I shake my head at the Biafran agitators. All they want is to simply break away. Break away to what? Do they have a precedence to back up them wanting to be alone? Western Nigeria had all the templates for greatness, with time proven results even up to today. Lagos state is the only state that is generating enough to sustain itself. Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ondo and Ekiti can all replicate the Lagos template if they have decent leaders. Same has to be said for all of Nigeria though.
