Always looking for a free ride. If hausa is in charge, they parley with them, If Igbo, they parley with them, if military, they parley with them; even if Oyibo takes over again, they will parley with them. I am yet to see a group more unprincipled. Haba?

[size=13pt]Afenifere Replies Ohaneze Over Meeting With Arewa Consultative Forum[/size]

Lagos — The Pan-Yoruba socio-political and economic organisation, Afenifere, has declared that it is not prepared to gang up against any particular part of the country as a pre-condition for aligning with any group.

The group was reacting to allegations by an Ohanaeze Ndigbo leader, Justice Ezebuilo Ozobu, that it did not consult with the Ohanaeze before meeting with leaders of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) in Kaduna, August 15, 2001, dubbing such meeting a betrayal.

Did afenifere really need to reply Ohaneze or even consult them? I think not but they(afenifere) showed good intention and diplomacy in doing so. The above sounds like cry baby something on the behalf of Ohanaeze.

lol na wa for deez people ooooo - Yorubas chill with everyone and want peace to be between all groups.

You need to comprehend the write-up first before making unguided and silly statements.
The INC visited Afenifere in their Jibowu,Lagos office.

INC officials visited Afenifere to discuss the situation of the nation as similar meetings has been held with Arewa Consultatve Forum.It is easy to adduce that INC is the one doing the parleying.

Afenifere by its meaning and locus standi[sub][/sub] is a pressure group that breaks ethnic and culture barriers to seek the betterment of the people.They have pursued objectives which is pro-people but at variance with the political leaders of the land.Its objectives and programs are based on well defined and articulated principles which seeks to improve the lot of the people.In most cases rejecting financial appeasement from disillusioned leaders like Obasanjo,Gbenga Daniel,etc, These and many others sets Afenifere on a higher level above other groups like Eze-Ndigbo-which promotes the programs and identity of the highest bidder OR ACF which its conservative ideology of "Hausa 1st"is always at collison with other ehtno-religious pressure groups.
Afenifere's success till date is based on his zero tolerance for anything unethic,complete adherence to it strict and principled ideology even in the face of stiff opposition.

Distinguish between meeting venue and who convened the meeting. In any case, by virtue of the fact that the meeting held in Lagos, it must be Afenifere that initiated it. Like I said, Yoruba will parley with anybody, even with ghosts, as long as their insatiable greed can be potentially met

^^^^^^^

Ijaw should be careful how they parley with Yoruba and discuss matters important and secret to them (Ijaw). Otherwise HAUSA-FULANI will hear it the next day. These people na traitors. Mo ti so tan.

Can you give any example in history of the boldened statement?
What you fail to realise is that Yorubas share the same socio-cultural and political ideology with Ijaw,Urhobo and most Niger-Delta people because of the pre-colonial inter-tribe commerce.

Eziachi:

2006 Obasanjo's abuja conference, that is the example you are asking for. It is only 4 years ago, you can't be that forgetful or too young.
Same social Cultural and ideology you said? Don't make me laugh. When it suits you. Where was your new found brotherly love for the past 40 years?

If Ohanaeze had remotely accommodated the thought of having meaningful political discussion with Afanifere or Ijo National Congress, I should unequivocally declare that Ndigbo have not learnt their lessons. Ohanaeze should first prepare to trail the blaze alone and maybe consider meaningful alliance with the Ibibio, Ananng, Efik, Atama, Ogoni and Ijo of old Rivers State. I do not want Ohanaeze to get involve with discussion centering on ways to perpetuate the existence of colonial contraption called Nigeria but means of bringing it to a glorified death.

They cry for everything.Civil War,Marginalisation,Betrayal,etc,
And they leave their kidnapper's den in the east to seek abode in the west.
Yorubas get along with everybody and that sets us above Igbo people who dont see anything good in another tribe.

Your are very funny because one should never generalise yorubas as many have their own motives.
