What The Igbos Can Learn From The Yorubas - By Joe Igbokwe by Nobody: 8:28pm On Jul 22, 2020
TeejayMaya:
Joe Igbokwe says it raw!

"Did the Yoruba go to war when June 12 1993 Presidential Election won by their illustrious son Chief MKO Abiola was annulled on June 23rd 1993 on a sheet of paper by IBB?

Did Yoruba go to war when Abiola’s wife Alhaja Kudirat Abiola was murdered in Lagos in the morning of Jun 4 1996?

Did Yoruba go to war when the winner of that historic election was poisoned on July 7 1998?

Did Yoruba go to war when those who killed Abiola imposed Obasanjo on them as President in 1999?

Did Yoruba accept Chief Ernest Shonekan when IBB made him to head the interim government in 1993? Yoruba rejected OBJ and Shonekan because this unique race has never been slaves to public office and yet they have remained number one in Nigeria in almost everything. This is wisdom and strategic thinking at work.

Those of us who have lived in Yoruba land for years should not only learn how to wear Aso Ebi, eat Ewedu soup or dance Owambe, music.

We must have also learned other unique things from them like sharing property to both male and female children, religious tolerance, ethnic tolerance, transferring legacies from generation to generation. Do you know that APC National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s wife is a Christian? Do you know that former Governor Fashola’s wife is a Christian? We can learn a lot from Yoruba. Yoruba too can learn from Igbo in areas of thinking home, business enterprise, self-help, apprenticeship, etc.

A Yoruba woman, a Pastor Mrs. Eunice Olawale Elisha of the Redeemed Christian Church of God old NEPA Road Phase 4 Kubwa, Abuja was killed by unknown persons on Saturday morning of July 9, 2016, while preaching the gospel around 5.30am. I have followed the reactions on the internety and Yoruba do not behave like the Igbo. They have been speaking but not preaching hate. They have called for the culprits to be fished out, prosecuted and punished. If Mrs. Eunice Elisha had been an Igbo hell would have been let loose. There would have been abuses and abuses. But Yoruba are not Igbo. This is civilization. This is strategic thinking. I hope our people can learn from this. Civility is not a sign of weakness. He who fights and run away lives to fight another day.

When GEJ marginalized Yoruba in his cabinet for five years despite been the most vocal in an effort to make him president, Yorubas didn't threaten anybody, they didn't abuse anybody, they simply fought in a peaceful & civilized way to effect a change in 2015 using their PVC. Today the most active VP since the independence & most likely, the next president of Nigeria is Yoruba. Fashola heads 3 ministries & referred to as prime minister in some parlance, Kemi Adeosun heads finance, Fayemi heads mines etc. That's how to fight for relevance in multi faceted country like Nigeria & not taking up arm against everybody.

To have ears is not to listen, to listen is not to hear, to hear is not to understand, to understand is not to put to practice. I know that writing this may not get me many friends among the Igbo, but it always gets me the right ones"

lipsrsealed Joe Igbokwe has a point. I actually admire (note I did not say 'like', I 'admire' them) Yorubas. They are very intelligent and strategic. Their culture is far more flexible and resilient than any in the country. And, I see nothing wrong in emulating what is good about them and discarding the rubbish part. I believe if Igbos can unite and be as strategic, we will dominate EVERY SINGLE SECTOR in this country. This is our achilles heels. The greater Igbo nation has two major goals to achieve before the actualization of Biafra:

1. Elect an Igbo President in 2023

2. Work with the greater South to Restructure Nigeria.

After this, the actualization of Biafra will be a walk in the park.

NB: I have also noticed that some Igbo parents teach their children from an early age to despise Yorubas. This is a counter-productive strategy because either we like it or not, we need each other in this complex Nigerian environment. I thank God my parents did not teach me hate. I am 100 % Biafran but I do not believe HATE is a requirement to be a Biafran or to achieve Biafra. Biafra when it is realized will be the shinning light on the hill. And hate will not take us there. Only strategic thinking and planning; and making deals with people we disagree with will take us there.

Yoruba's are not interested in you being with Nigeria or not .you Igbo's always Insulted Yoruba's for not joining you to fight for your freedom !! Why do you rely on us to help you to fight for what will not have any positive outcome ? Fight on your own and what you believe in .Cowards blames others for their failures .it is not by force to share the same ideas with you Igbo's .you can't expect everybody to be Insultive, Abusive, violence and intolerance as you people are .Yoruba's are not the genesis on your problems and can not be the solution to it .

I really do not know why a certain section of Nigeria tends to ride in illogicality. Nobody has ever passed a canceled WAEC. The June 12 1993 Nigerian Presidential Election was canceled and Nigerians did not see the conclusion of the process. It is beyond human imagination how the narratives of the canceled election ended as a process won by one goofy politician. The writer of the above crap would have ascertained that Yari.ba would not go to war even if reincarnated Oduduwa is murdered in Ibadan. After all, the son of the soil had been cool-bloodedly killed in Ibadan and the entire Yari.ba nation behaved as if nothing happened.

In addition, there is absolutely nothing Ndigbo can learn from Yari.ba.

Basically he is asking us to tolerate bullying from Fulani men huh? Conveniently forgetting to advice the aggressive North who generate all the misbehaviour against other ethnic Nationalities. That's not who we are, we believe in Eye for an Eye biblical laws.

The bolded is arrant nonsense. Igbo parents teach their children the real historical facts such as Yari.ba joined the northern region political and military elites to precipitate war against Ndigbo and Biafrans in 1967. Igbo parents have no time loading up their children with fairy-tales such as wrestling match called Kiriji.

Joe igbokwe should be told, that evolution have always favoured the most rugged and smartest, it's survival of the fittest. If igbos were that tolerating, by now the Koran would have been dipped into the ocean, all of us will be practicing 12th century Islam. (God forbid).
