Yorubas don't need you folks don't you just get it? Yorubas were on on their own for good 16 years, we have master the art of survival in this country, we don't need anything from you guys.
Eni a ba ta ka fi ra atupa to ni owun a ji tan ina wo, no be today e don tey o, Yoruba no need una o, the earlier una understand the better.

Bodexman:


May God bless your memory. Some short brained people forgot that it takes the Will of God and Obj coupled with the same Tinubu that they so much hate and some states in south west that made Jonathan won the election.

There's has never been anyone who occupied aso rock who was humiliated than Jonathan before he was made the acting president if not for the timely intervention of Obj.

This ipob spill hatred whenever osinbajo is being mentioned yet they forgot that their Messiah (Jonathan) suffered severed humiliation from ordinary Turai or where were they (igbos) when yorubas were protesting in Lagos that they should make Jonathan the acting president?

Yorubas understand politics more than u guys

nezer83:


The Yoruba's understand politics better and where are they today in the main scheme of things? I guess in za other room.
When the Yoruba's romances with the north then it is political correctness an smartness, then when other region wants to do same, then it becomes foolishness. Smh

limeta:
Just when you think you seen it all.
Igbo,s must be on good thing and the yoruba are hell bent on spoiling it.
SW best remain with the north
SE/SS makes a better south.

Leopard2A7:


Ok, we need una, will you accept us?

jaymichael:
Southern alliance has happened before and it worked. The whole south allied and voted for GEJ. How he singled out the SW for insult and abuse is what I can never figure out. While a particular group was the "backbone" of his administration, the SW and their leaders are "motor park touts"

Rex123:




The way you people think is amazing! SS is using SE to pursue political goals! Thinking SS will unite with SE to form a nation is laughable! Any free born SS would either have a SS republic or Nigeria! We can't be a minority in Nigeria and go and be a minority in another political contraption!

The best bet is for we Southern should forgive and forget our grievances and forge a new political future together! That how we can beat the North!

Leopard2A7:


When it comes to politics, you will not hear, I am Hausa, I am Fulani, I am Kanuri bla bla bla, they all go as one man. The Christians in southern Kaduna surprisingly voted for Buhari who is a Fulani in 2015 despite all the wickedness meted on these people by the fulanis.

When you come to the south, You hear people shouting I am Igbo, I am Yoruba, I am Ijebu, We SS, We Niger Delta, while the north keeps laughing at us.

There is a thread trending now where SE and northern politicians are planning some kind of alignment.

The Igbos should not align with northerners, if nothing, you can see what they are doing to the Yorubas under Tinubu.

How long will we allow the north continue to play the south like football?

The north thrives on the constant rivalry and hate in the south to always have their way.

Just check it, all they need at one time is one region in the south, after they get what they want and you try to rub shoulders with them like Tinubu was trying to do, they just dump you and move to the other region in the south.

Let us drop this mentality of being too smart or sophisticated in the south. The northerners can do without any particular region in the south once they stay as one bloc.

My suggestion is that the south should field an Igbo presidential candidate in 2019. The north will bring Buhari as usual and queue up behind him. This will lead to a stalemate as neither of the candidates can win except something gives.

How this will be resolved will determine the future and finally resolve the Nigerian question.

Abeg count Yoruba out of your proposed southern Nigeria, every man for himself God for all of us.

Thus like I said there was never a south but there was ALWAYS A NORTH... right from 1897 it's been north

Eastactivist:


Is obvious the sw shared there vote to ribadu, and is getting clearer that you guys are always divided through ethno-religious lines.. So can't be trusted...

jaymichael:
Ribadu won only one state. Our political and religious diversity isn't in anyway divisive. That is what makes us dynamic. We aren't "zombies" We don't do "herd mentality" Our unity is ever strenghtened by our "omoluabi" principle inspite of religious and political interrests.

Leopard2A7:


Jonathan won the elections because he got massive support from the SE, SS, SW and MB, go and check the figures. Buhari got massive support from NW & NE but this was not enough for him to win.

How you are now trying to say that Yorubas gave him victory is so surprising.

Southern Unity is the best. South, and some parts of the middle belt.
It is the BEST idea. If we in the south could put our egos aside we could've gone places. In the south there is a high literacy rate. In the south there's no terrorism. There's religious tolerance.
Look at the Shagari presidency for example. It hurts my soul anytime I think of it, knowing that Alex Ekwueme was far more intelligent than the 'weak' (according to Fela Anikulapo Kuti) Shagari. Alex was intelligent, and could've done something had he been president. Sadly, we are all aware that the position of 'vice president' has been reduced to shit: GEJ being continuously ridiculed under Yaradua, and now Osinbajo having very little influence in this government. The south has the best educational facilities, the best hospitals, megacities, everything! Sometimes I wonder what Southern Nigeria would be like if there was never an amalgamation. I'm not saying this out of tribalistic disdain for the north but facts from the small research I've done.
The situation in Nigeria is like three brothers fighting for the remote to the TV. The oldest brother knows that his parents will force him to change the channel if both of his younger ones protest, so anytime their parents come downstairs(elections) he quickly bribes one brother with candy and cookies just so he'll agree to leave the TV where it is (while neglecting the other).
I really dislike GEJ for the fact that he had the chance to unite the south once and for all, by performing excellently during our time of oil boom and subtly promoting unity among us but instead he joined in the typical corruption fest Nigerian politicians are known for. GEJ was voted out because of his incompetence and blatant corruption. Not because Buhari was the best choice. Its similar to people voting for Trump because Clinton was so evil and corrupt. Its funny when you think of it, that of all the people who have led Nigeria since independence, there have only been two from the South - Obasanjo and GEJ (I don't consider Shonekan as a head of state, he was more like Babangida's puppet).
Yet the South likes to boast of a higher literacy rate.
Too much has happened since independence in 1960 and I doubt if it will be possible but a United South would be the best thing that could happen to Nigeria. Ego and Pride, along with unwillingness to forgive past grievances are in the way of that dream.

Imhayuba:
Kills me to read things like this! Can't everybody come together for a greater Nigeria. all this politics is taking a toll the country! How about a Nigeria where everyone is willing to work together and not make his or her tribal person president!

TheNonce:




This sort of reasoning must have come from the mind of an ugwu muncher! Deluded riff raffs!
