Rubbish, what and who is Buhari or Atiku, or even the animal called OBJ? Even Osinbanjo, who is he? Have the Fulani allowed him to be full president all the while-HELL NO...

Nnamdi Kanu is telling you all the truth but you' cant accept it because if YOU Mr Man do, you have already implicated yourself for having been bulls.hitting all these years when your mets around the world during different eras took brave action to better their land.

A President who doesnt give a rats behind for you, and lavishly goes abroad for 90+ days without explanations is a narcissist, a tyrant, and in fact a COUPIST....oh He was a former coupist, no WONDER.

The day you stop referring to yourself as a Nigger Area citizen, the better e go be for una

omohayek:

I think I am speaking for the silent majority of Yorubas in saying that while I have sympathy with the Igbo desire for self-determination and freedom from the northern-dominated contraption currently called "Nigeria", the manner in which Kanu and company have gone about their struggle - with the tacit acceptance of the Igbo elite through their silence - has been such as to render me unwilling to raise even a finger on their behalf. I won't do anything to obstruct the IPOB agitation (as long as it's kept out of my part of the country), but I won't do anything to help it along or shield it either

You build bridges with worthy people, not potential back-stabbers and cowards trying to rejoice in injustice.
You will never see igbo peope hoping that the naijerian army escalate its war against yoruba just because of political difference.
During the ife crisis, you won't find igbo individuals sympathizing with the aggressive northerners because we know what they are capable of doing. Even if we have political differences, we know when to draw the line.

Sorry, your people are not trust-worthy partners. Even the north knows that.
They are at best kept at arms length. We can partner on mnor isssues but on issues with severe importamce, the SW cannot be trusted.

Blue3k:


Lol this should simply be seen as entertainment. Why would you be asked to help especially when IPOB hates advice. Then call everyone who doesn't fall in line with every little opinion they hold coward. I just find it odd they don't have political support in leaving.

In catalonia politicians are threatened with jail and loss of office while still remain steadfast. SE can't even openly say they support movement. Most are just trying to keep peace.

Afam4eva:

Do you really believe what you just wrote? Lol..abeg make i laugh small.

Here's why Yorubas wil not tow the path that IPOB and supporters of IPOB have towed. It's not necessarily because of the cowardly nonenclature being bandied around. It's because Yorubas have not been pushed enough like the Igbos have. As a matter of fact, Yorubas are not really having it that bad in Nigeria. They have enjoyed the spoils of war along with the Northerners. It seems the Igbos are alone in this because even the Niger Delta region have a bargaining chip, which is OIL. If they didn't have oil, they would have even suffered worse fate than Igbos. So, nobody should castigate the Igbos for doing what they're doing He who wears the shoe knows where it pinches.

Al_harem has spoken the truth. You cannot eat your cake and still want to have. PDP controls the center.So, states that will benefit from the center are PDP states. They should go and meet oga Tinubu if they feel marginalized..

see how stupid u sound, who votes during elections.

Did u visit south east, they don't turn up.

You rigg your elections and claim you are smarts.

Igbo don't have any business with elections if you have a few selfish politicians dancing around, that is their business.

Note this again, Igbo don't turn up for elections you can even research 2015 elections.



So you agree that the north will use and dump u again come 2019

Hahhahahhahahsaaaa

Our elders say that 'Ogbon ologbon ko je ka pe agba in were', 'Agba to jin so koto o ko ara yoku logbon'

Some months ago a young man released a video claiming to be the chosen leader of Yoruba youths ready to fight the Nigeria government with chemical weapons and other war thingamajigs for Yoruba's self determination, some people recognized him as Adeyinkas grandson, the internet went agog, a lot of jest was thrown around about how cowardly the tribe (Yoruba) the man claimed to represent, some even dared him to come down to Nigeria since he was domiciled abroad.

Here on Nairaland, many well known Yoruba monikers tapped into his rage, they started insulting Yoruba elders 'they're too docile, they're cowards and so on.'

The question these Yoruba youths should ask themselves are: during June 12 protest who led the protest, who fought Abacha government, who sponsored Radio Kudirat?

Simple answer: our fathers and mothers did, not just any Yoruba father and mother; well known and popular Yoruba bigwigs, politicians, some kings, lawyers and human right activists; they all came out to embrace the bullet, they dared the evil in human form Sani Abacha; how many Yoruba youths were killed, how many elders were killed? Many, but not as much as it would've been without the support of our elites.

They turned up the heat so much that a terrible military dictator couldn't step into the southwest, the beast died like a dog at the end, you may wonder why that was so?

Yoruba elite supported the masses and vice versa, for the injustice meted on Yoruba tribe, the region was chanting the same pledge, that is the power of a stable culture and tradition, our culture should keep having a stronghold on our lives, let our leaders and elders be the one to talk first, like they have done at the recent Ibadan conference which was a perfect example of the Ogboni conference of ancient times, it is not a sign of cowardice if we obey them, we have this system of checks and balances that won't allow a single person no matter how right he might be, lead us astray into quagmires.

We all know the proverb that says: what an elder sees when sitting a child will not see even if he's atop a tree; our elders have the foresight and ancient wisdom, let them lead us gently, with their international recognition they'll get us out of this useless contraption called Nigeria when the time comes, as we too become elders let us embrace the virtue of patience and tact.

Weeks have passed, so many dawns and dusks, what have we heard about the grandson of Adeyinka?

Exactly

1. Yorubas cannot and will not desire leaving Nigeria unless the Igbos seceded from Nigeria successfully. Their secession would be driven more by fear of their remaining neighbours in the North rather than the desire to truly be independent.

2. Due to early dealings with the British, they were given much assistance by the British to build Lagos into a defacto commercial capital of West Africa , along with the busiest airport in west Africa. One of the main greviences of the Igbos is federal neglect to build up a proper seaport in the east and true international airport in the east... both of which are federally funded, regulated and controlled. Because of the purposeful neglect by the federal government Igbos must travel primarly to Lagos before coming east which is waste of time and resources in addition to making Yorubas rich who own hostels, taxis, etc. There is a whole ecocomy that thrives off of this... thus a truly restructrd Nigeria or the creation of Biafra will hurt Yoruba pockets more than many people. One just needs to see Lagos every December when Igbos to back east. Imagine if they never came back, many Yoruba businesses would go the way of the dodo bird.

3. Aside from a few of the monthly killings of Yorubas by fulani herdsmen, yorubas are content with assuming a submissive role to the North as long as they are getting their share of federal oil money that comes from the Niger Delta. This is the reason why today you have among the Yoruba billionaires in US dollars that own oil will in non-Yoruba lands.

4. A Yoruba cannot say directly what they would benefit from being without Nigeria as it is currently constructed. If anything they would lose a lot more including no longer having Igbos as people to buffer or to use as a political scapegoat to shield them from their more aggressive friends in the North. Nigeria when fully examined is perfect for the Yoruba. Hence, the reason why any talks of a need for Oduduwa or restructing from a Yoruba's mouth should be treated as nothing more than comedic relief.

7lives:


Look who's talking now.
Anyway as long as your people don't make the mistake of invading an inch of our homelands like they did in the past, Yoruba and Igbos have nothing in common.
When exactly have Yoruba ever asked Igbos for support on anything?, Yoruba would rather fall back on old friends like Tapa, Ebira, Benin, Itshekiri, Uhurobo and so on.
It's not as if Yoruba hate or look down on Igbos, it's JUST that you don't have what we need.

No going back on Gelegele Seaport project – Edo Govt


There is sufficient economic justification for the Gelegele port and we will raise funds from the private sector to develop the facility. We do not believe that the federal government will stop or discourage Edo State from building a Port that is economically viable,” he added. Obaseki said the seaport is on course as his administration is talking to consultants who are currently working on the designs and conducting studies on water depth, the width of the river and the amount of dredging needed.

hes got nothing to offer,hes only mocking the easterners,that they aint listening to their elders but listening to Kanu who he likened to Adeyinka Grandson..and dont u see them,shameless things,mocking their own Adeyinka Grandson?! Ask urself,whos their leader/elders that they are paying attention to? We all know Afenifere are their leaders buh do they listen to them? When Afenifere warned them against following tinubu in the last election that brought the present evil,buhari, upon us all,did they listen? Havent they been calling their Afenifere elders all manner of unprintable names cos they rejected buhari? They opted instead for their tin god,tinubu and here we are today! Search the site very well and u will come accross threads oped by yorubas where they took turns to lambast Afenifere elders like Odumakin,etc. They termed the Ibadan parley last week Pdp agenda! Smh. These ppl are as evil as buhari! And the op is ranting about "an elder sitting,seeing far beyond what the youth will see atop a tree"..

Rotimik:


You just wrote nonsense.

We are an independent nation. We look forward to the progress and greatness of Nigeria. We do this by staying back in our own region developing it and we expect others to do the same in their own regions, but they won't.

You don't expect a place to develop when it's people abandon it to go and enjoy the efforts of other people in their own region.

The reason why you people see yourselves as slaves in Nigeria is because you people are abandoning your states for other people's states.
