Yoruba's fighting each other. I'm out of here mehn. But come to think of it, why must it be Southerners bringing down fellow Southerners? OBJ is not a perfect person but calling him out like this would embolden the terrorists from the caliphate who have made themselves our sworn enemies. People should stop attacking each other in the South. 1 Like |

iammo: Please stop playing politics of tribalism and ethnicity. What is the usefulness of Obasanjo to Yoruba or humanity? A man that cannot be mentioned for any good thing. We know what Awolowo did. We know what Akintola did We know what Soyinka did- he brought j=honour to us as a race ( black nation), continent ( Africa), tribe ( Yoruba) , country ( Nigeria). In fact, we can point to few things that Tinubu did What did Obasanjo do for Yoruba? Buhari is more useful than Obasanjo. Somebodey that oversaw the killing of our Cicero ( Bola Ige) 1 Like |

veraponpo: I see most of you are hell bent on us tarnishing our ownself, am sure another disgruntled man would release a memoir how tinubu is the bigest thief in Lagos, they would not stop there they would reduce all Yoruba politician to thieves. So should we need to negotiate anything for the Yoruba nation all our delegates would be seen as criminals, while the real northern crook would become saints 2 Likes |

iammo: You are obviously not conversant with facts and history; You also lack a clear understanding of Yoruba people and culture. A Yoruba man should never call white black just to serve a purpose. We don't lie to ourselves about the reality of things, we confront what is not right irrespective of whose ox is gored. I'll now correct some errors on your part 1 - Akintola and Awolowo had a disagreement over principles aggrevated by their supporters, my grandfather was a major power broker and revered by both men, he honourably resigned during the fracas. 2 - It is known fact OBJ never wanted to be president after Muritala was assassinated, he famously ran to the marina and was only convinced by TY Danjuma and co; the fact he gave democracy a chance was in-line with an agreement he had with President Carter. NPNs Shagari won the election even thou there were concerns about the census distribution, NPN was under the leadership of Pa Akinloye and had such political giants like Fani-Kayode, Adeyinka Adebayo, Mbadiwe and even formed an alliance with Ojukwu. 3 - It is a known fact that the coup that brought Buhari/ Idiagbon to power was orchestrated and delivered by IBB, Abacha et al, Buhari just happened to be an ideal face. Several military biographies of those active at the time have confirmed this, once IBB and Abacha saw he wasn't going to play ball he was disposed of. 4 - Buhari was federal commissioner for Petroleum and Natural Resources under OBJ and was known to have done a good job, even when IBB made a claim of the $2.8B missing that Fela famously sang about a panel led by renown Justice Irekefe found it to be fictitious slander. 5 - You must now know that the northern youth are awakening out of a deep lul, the years of blind followership is over, Buhari and APC may secure 2019 but the days of 12million votes are surely over. In recent years the most vocal critics of PMB have been the Arewa consultative forum and the Arewa youth congress. I like Buhari and had great hope but the man has been demystified he should have never contested to be president that position would rob any man of whatever dignity he has left. Gowon and Shagari were smart they left and never looked back. 2 Likes |

In a homogeneous state, such behaviours usually leads to the best hands emerging to handle the affairs of state. In a heterogeneous state such as Nigeria, it is a liability. 1 Like |

If there is any tribe that should respect the igbos more in Nigeria; it should be the yorubas. How I wish they can respect that and leave tribalism and bowing and kneeling down before the northerners. 1966 coup plotters were majorly Igbos led by Chukwuma Nzeogwu. Their aim was never to install an Igbo president but to release Chief Obafemi Awolowo from Calabar prison and make him Head of State. If that coup was successful Nigeria I am sure would have been a better place to live in. Can you imagine an elder statesman bowing and kneeling because of power and money; Selling his brothers into the slavery we are suffering today. No job, no security, no light, no water, herdsmen terrorism e.t.c. |

Why are our politicians, greedy and so desperate? If they have the interest of te masses in their heart, it could have been better, but they are interested in looting and acquiring, more wealth. As high chief, a reputable soldier, a three term ex- president of the Republic of Nigeria, to have knelt down down , fall so low, before Atiku, because, he wanted to go for a third teRM as as the President,was a disgrace to himself, his family and his associates. I do respect him, as an elderly state man that , he is suppose to be, but he needs to go and retire and be an adviser to the younger generation. |
