On Tinubu by TinubuSupport(m): 6:26am On Jul 04, 2022
*WHAT IS THE OFFENCE OF THE YORUBAS AGAINST THE IGBOS?*

*After the 1959 elections, none of the parties that participated in that election won enough seats at the Parliament to form the govt. Then the action group lead by Awolowo contacted the NCNC lead by Azikiwe to merge and form the govt with their majority. The meeting was to take place in Asaba and the AG group arrived a day before the commencement of the talks. They were still waiting for the NCNC delegates 48hrs after the meeting should have commenced when they heard news of the deal between the NCNC and the NPC of the north. It was this deal that made Azikiwe the first President of Nigeria. That was the same proposal the AG had informally presented to them before but because of the natural hatred of an average Igbo man for anything Yoruba, Azikiwe opted for the NPC instead of the AG lead by Awolowo.*

When the debate for the dissolution of Nigeria was hot in those days, it was only Zik who opposed that idea even when the northerners supported and Awolowo supported it. Then the Civil service in the north was 70% Ibo. It was the way their children were killed during the coup and the arrogance displayed by the Igbos in Sabongari market in Kano that lead to the counter coup of July, 29th 1966. It was in this anger that the authorities of Ahmadu Bello University were ordered to graduate their 300 level students as their first set B.Sc holders so as to send the Igbo's parking from their Civil service.

The first Nigerian coup of January 15th, 1966 was planned by the trio of major Kaduna Nzeogwu, Major Ademola Adegboyega and Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna ( the first winner of an international medal for Nigeria in athletics). But when the execution started, only officers from the north, west and Midwest were killed. No officers or govt officials of Igbo extraction was killed. When Ironsi assumed office, he surrounded himself with only Igbo persons including a certain Mr Ben Nwabueze as Prof Ben Nwabueze was. It was he who advised Ironsi to abolish regional system of govt so that he can easily preside over the whole nation. Today the same Nwabueze and his ignorant Igbo brothers are blaming everyone except themselves. They betrayed Yoruba again.

Fast forward to 1979, the Igbo nation went into alliance with the NPN of the north despite all entreaties from Awolowo for a merger. That merger gave birth to Alex Ekwueme as Vice President to Shagari. When it was time to elect the Senate president and Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Yorubas were completely shot out since we put all our eggs in one basket by voting the UPN enmass. In fact, Victor Umeh, the former National Chairman of ANPP who hails from Anambra state as Ekwueme, was elected as Speaker. Igbo didn't see anything wrong in all that. I was shocked when they began to complain in 2019 when the same scenario repeated itself but in favour of the Yorubas. They lack sense of history. Always antagonistic to the Yorubas.

On the even of the 1993 presidential elections, an Igbo man, Arthur Nzeribe by name approached a court in the night and an injunction was given against that election. The electoral body went ahead and conducted that election and a Yoruba man won by a landslide. Abiola didn't win any of the southeast States. Babangida went ahead to annul that election on the basis of the injunction procured by the Igbo man. Igbo did Yoruba shege again.

There were riots all over the nation. The international communities were issuing threats and sanctions left right and centre. The Tinubus, Ibrus, Soyinkas etc mounted serious pressure on the West to see to the restoration of Abiola's mandate and just when the campaign was gaining traction, Igbo hit the Yoruba's below the belt again. A certain character named Daniel Kanu made himself a willing tool in the hands of the military junta of Gen Abacha. He organised several rallies and concerts just to give Abacha legitimacy and weaken the campaign for the restoration of Abiola's victory. Another Igbo missile against Yoruba interest.

In the buildup to the 1999 presidential elections, there was an understanding amongst politicians in Nigeria that the Southwest be allowed to produce the president as a compensation for the injustice done to them by the annulment of Abiola's victory and the many loss of life they recorded of their children. But Ekwueme, an Igboman still went ahead to battle the ticket with Obasanjo. They always oppose anything Yoruba.

The Igbo's have always demonstrated hatred, disdain and disrespect for anything Yoruba. I cited two examples of how they hobnobbed politically with the north against the Yorubas to their advantage and mocked us with their victories. But anytime, we do the same thing, they call us slaves. What rubbish!

For those of you Yorubas who are joining them to denigrate and destroy your own son, I have written this for you to understand that they will never do that to their own son, at least not for the good of a Yoruba man. Think! Ronu!

Their celebrities have been supporting Obi without any insult from any Yoruba celebrity. How is it now an offence for Yoruba celebrities to support Tinubu? Unfortunately, some Yoruba people are joining them too. You are a classic example of an Oponu. you lack sense or the ability to reason.

*YORUBA E RONU FA!*
