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.



Keep deceiving yourself. How many hours do the coup plotters have after the coup yet they refuse to release Awo. Ironsi an Eboe man came in for 6 months did he release Awo? Nna face your Biafra market snd let Yorubas be.

Keep your advise to your own people.

Let me remind what Ojo Maduekwe said when Alex Ekwueme wanted to contest vs OBJ for PDP Presidential primaries :

"Any Igbo who wants to be President is out of his mind".

Nnamdi Kanu : "99% of all Igbo women are prostitutes"

Ralph Uwazurike : "Igbo tribe is the most foolish in the world"


These are real quotes that can be verified online. Any yeye MOD that deletes this is a bigot.

Cc Seun -you have some biased staff

Also prof nwosu.. Igbos are lazy thinkers.
One of biafra queens... 21st century idiots.

Yoruba destroying yorubas since the days of awolowo and akintola undecided , Yoruba ronu, its funny how tinubu an ally of MKO is teaming up with same Buhari that got the juiciest apointement under abacha, while throwing jabs at obasanjo. Same obasanjo that gave back power to shagari a man from sokoto through democracy and Buhari and co(abacha and Ibb) dethroned through coup de tat, same obasanjo that came back home to confront abacha on MKO's denial to power when Buhari conveniently choose to keep quiet and become PTDF chairman, same obasanjo that was imprisoned while wole Soyinka was in exile. Professor Soyinka, northern youth are mocking you, they see you as someone who disrespect his own to promote others, no matter what they never disrespect their own, they may disagree but never ridicule their own. Ti eyan ba ta ara ile e lopo to ba di owon ko ni ri ra
Your head dey there! Only a pinch of the yorubas are loyal & faithful in relationships! Gbam

The same Obasanjp who bastardized Nigerian police sector. power sector and aided corruption of the highest order is organising a coalition of fellow saboteurs to loot our treasury again after 8years of economic wastage. All efforts to restructure Nigeria then fell into his deaf ears. Only the like minds will follow him and his cohorts

Hmmm....Great insight by Prof Soyinka into the open secrete strictly gurarded by the Obasanjo camp.

With all these revelations, I'm strongly of the view that baba should remain quite and stop parading himself as a saint and messiah. Claiming to know better on who to lead and who is not should stop! He has no moral ground to call for an assembly of politicians whom I feel are birds of the same feathers with no sincere intention for the masses other then to loot, re loot and share loot.
The current problem of this current administration with the NASS and the Executives started with and it's caused by OBJ. He practically laid a bad fountain of proliferate life style of the Senators.
They are called to serve and not to be served and service.
Clearly,there's no big difference between Atiku and OBJ,one is just more skilled and certified looter!

Experience be it in advantage or disadvantage is experience,At his old age and retirement from active participation in politic,Obasanjo may want to right his wrongs so put nigeria on the right track,(The baba de humble,e no easy to kneel b4 ur junior,2 get what u want)try it if u think otherwise.

Remember, it was Atiku that used the stolen millions from the customs department where he was a retired officer to sponsor Obasanjo's presidential campaign of 1999 at that time, and that was made O B J not only prostrate for him also made him his vice. It is unfortunate both of them are again working together to continue the looting spree..

Look I never said truth can't be said, but northern elders forum or arewa consutative forum would rather go into a closed door meeting to thrash out issues and differences. Do you think if a negotiation was to take place with Yoruba and north or other tribe obj may not represent us
That is northern elders forum method of thrashing out issues and differences. You might not be there when Obasanjo is been called to order in a close door meeting (which he might not even honour), you might not be there to witness many things done to caution him. And mind you many Hausas criticising Buhari never invite him to their elder consultative forum. And lastly, people different opinion to your comment does not make them riff raff, so have some dignity by being civil.

Ok sir, the "rif raf" comment was directed at people who choose to redicule me rather than give solid points. I gained information from the other opinions. But bottomline is our image as Yoruba nation is constantly been battered by others, from calling us two faced to calling us cawords, to lazy. Had wish we use a more dignified manner of dispute resolution, if he stole $16b fine provide documents showing such withdrawals and paper trail of its diversion and prosecute him, an ordinary citizen can use the power of freedom of information act to access almost all documents except national security, why not use such? On revelation a Yoruba man (obj) and president knelt to beg a Fulani man(atiku) is not befitting comment
