Wawa Ibo, how did those names up there betray you? You people have opposite meanings to everything, same way you call the loudmouthed Abidjan coward, Ojukwu a brave man. How is Akiolu a betrayal? Smh

According to mainstream media which he had not refuted so far, Akiolu betrayed your Ooni, and by extension the entire Yoruba race by tactfully renouncing the allegiance of his people and Kingdom to the Ooni and Yoruba race after benefiting tremendously from such existing alliance.

Now if this is not betrayal, tell me what is?

Yes, Yorubas are betrayals for not sending its people to the slaughter carnival during the war. Soyinka was jailed cos of biafuro and he is still hated by these bitter people. Banjo led their only offensive during the war and he was killed by that bearded animal ojukwu whose soul will surely rot in the deepest part of hell. I dont even have any pity for that FFK and Fayose. Ibos will hate you even if you kill your own family for them, its in their DNA.

Yorubas were true betrayers for not letting the the "mighty Biafra army" invade yorubaland via ore. To them you are a betrayer if you don't submit to their agenda. They should really learn the meaning of betrayal.

Betrayal to who?
The people you listed are being praised by yorubas, so I don't know who they betrayed.

Awolowo: Betrayed the entire Nigerian entity by initially masterminding breakup of the entity into seperate and independent autonomous regions. Then later Afonjaed the efforts and renegaded. As a result, we are back to square one. You can't claim ignorance of the fact that regional autonomy is a burning issue today.

Obasanjo: Betrayed the trust of the following individuals: Abiola, Charles Taylor, GEJ, IBB, Asari Dokubo, Peter Odili, Atiku Abubakar, Audu Ogbeh, Gbenga Daniel, Bode George, the entire old Action Congress political hierarchy - list is endless. He also betrayed the mandate entrusted on him by so called Nigerians when they wrongfully believed he was the messiah needed to salvaged the country since he was fresh from jail

Tinubu: Betrayed Fashola, Fayemi and GEJ. He is on his way to betraying his Lord and personal saviour BUHARI

Akiolu: According to mainstream media which he had not refuted so far, Akiolu betrayed your Ooni, and by extension the entire Yoruba race by tactfully renouncing the allegiance of his people and Kingdom to the Ooni and Yoruba race after benefiting tremendously from such existing alliance.

Wawa Ibo, you just conjure up nonsense just to feel good. You can only betray someone you have an agreement with, imagine Tinubu betrayed GEJ shocked shocked How can someone from different party betray each other. Why are you Ibos like this? Ojukwu fled after losing 3m Ibos then its cool. What about Azikwe during the war? What about the Ibo politicians switching to APC after GEJ lost the election. The list is endless, your people are the real betrayals and reason they were labelled the beautiful bride of the country.

Our main religion is Islam while our major occupations are head and skull mining, kidney harvesting and Limb processing. We are also good in Internet scams (Yahoo plus) and pickpocketing.
As for me, I am a skull miner and by the grace of Sango and Obatala combined, the present Secretary-general of "Afonjaa skull miners association of Nigeria (ASMAN), So if there is any other thing you need to know, just holla me.

Afonja was a historic figure from Ilorin who formed an alliance that backfired on him causing Oyo to loose the Ilorin throne.

On NL:
A term derived from a historic figure that people from a very particular tribe like to single out and abuse to validate their pathetic claim after now learning about the rich history of Yoruba people. They use it as an insult while not understanding it's full context. In reality, it makes no sense because it's the same as referring to Jewish people as Judas as a form of insult.
I think this makes sense...

I'm neither Igbo or Yoruba, but all I can see is that the IGBOS are angry with the Yoruba's based on what they term betrayal, for not always aligning with them over time, including in d last presidential race despite been from the south. The IGBOs on the other hand fail to realize that d Yoruba's alliance with north has benefitted dem immensely, they have ruled for eight years, and now have a vice president from their region who is even the acting president as we speak. I see the Yoruba's as the wise ones, who play their cards better than the IGBOs, IGBOs on the other hand see themselves as stronger than the north, so they are in a bitter race with d north, aligning themselves with the south south, the south south can't give u political dominance, they have a smaller population.

The Igbos need to rise up, they have a leader who has aligned with north, Rochas, they hate him because they call him d friend of d Hausa's, but fail to realize tht tht man could be their onlt ticket to d highest office n d country. The Igbo's are very intelligent pple but their ego doesn't let dem c beyond their nose

lol, what are you talking about. Till the end, he advocated for stronger regionalism like Europe and state's power within a country. He did not advocate secession, meanwhile we know of a very special band of traitors who did just that.
Obasanjo: Betrayed the trust of the following individuals: Abiola, Charles Taylor, GEJ, IBB, Asari Dokubo, Peter Odili, Atiku Abubakar, Audu Ogbeh, Gbenga Daniel, Bode Thomas - list is endless.

What criteria are you using for betrayal. He betrayed Nigerians because he didn't fulfill their "messiah expectations." You know in other countries, when politicians fall short of their promises, it's called playing politics. Lol, even if that was true, wasn't it the same Nigerians he apparently betrayed that re-elected him.
Tinubu: Betrayed Fashola, Fayemi and GEJ, he is on his way to betraying his Lord and personal saviour BUHARI
Why make false assumptions
Akiolu: According to mainstream media which he had not refuted so far, Akiolu betrayed your Ooni, and by extension the entire Yoruba race by tactfully renouncing the allegiance of his people and Kingdom to the Ooni and Yoruba race after benefiting tremendously from such existing alliance.
That's all up to interpretation. That's what you interpreted. His ego was why he disrespect Ooni.
So one out of thousands of kings in Yorubaland, one disrespected the ooni at one event, the entire Yoruba race are traitors. Well, if you can't see the the fallacy in your argument, then there is no logical reasoning. Funny, it was the same traitor Yorubas who led out an outcry in large number and strongly condemned his actions immediately. And if you are using Ooni as the standard, the Ooni has never rejected his Yoruba throne and he's not doing so anytime soon, so he still reigns.
And if we are going to follow and take his action seriously, Wasn't it the same Akiolu who said your people should be thrown the lagoon. It's the same Akiolu, you are now taking seriously now as long as it fits your narrative?

APC is a jihadist party.

Muslims see Buhari as an islamic jihadist leader and not as a Nigerian. Nigeria is a British gift to Islamic North and so the muslims are scared whenever they hear anything like " breakup" or "referendum". To them, an infidel cannot rule Nigeria in peace. No muslim can support a christian. The only christian they can support is one that hates his people. The one that does not have the interest of his people at heart.

The only non muslims who support APC are RCCG members and some Southern Christians who hate themselves and hate their people. The ones that cannot speak their language and the ones that are slaves at heart. RCCG is a confirmed Islamic church....corrupt to the core. Erastus Akingbola, former intercontinental bank head, was a crook and a pastor of the church. Mallam Usman Osunbade is a crook and a pastor of the church. Hajiya Tinubu is also a crook and a pastor of the church. Not to talk of other DSS snipers and other crooks in government.

Tou can never see a southern freedom fighter who supports APC. You cannot see a proponent of resource countrol or referendum that supports APC because the party is built up for terrorist parasistes and they need Niger delta money for their islamic jihad.

Yoruba muslims.all aboard. Not one yoruba muslim has the brain to oppose APC. Once I see the name, I know I can expect zero independent reasoning.

Nigerian muslims are terrorised by the following names/words

"FREEDOM", "REFERENDUM", "BIAFRA", NNAMDI KANU",

Afonja is the derogatory term used by nairaland IPOB miscreants to describe anyone opposed to their Biafran, land grabbing antics. The surprising thing is that they fail to realize Nigeria is made up of over 250 ethnic groups and many nairalanders could just as well belong to any one of them
