So the yorubas who were not even born when the stone Awolowo 100 years ago will use it as an excuse not to vote for a man that will change their life for good and reduce their suffering. Is only a person who has nothing to offer or who is not qualified will be looking for excuse to discredit a well accepted man. I thought APC said Nigerians should vote on competent and merit not base on religion or tribalism so why have they gone back to bring what happened 100 years ago is really a pity and it shows that some people don't ever want this country to move forward and they derive joy when innocent people are being killed and suffer cus of our wicked and selfish leaders. Either we get it right 2023 or it get worst and scatter finally.
Hey Pa Adebanjo trying to sell Obi and the Igbo presidency stated this history . All through this campaign it's been clear how the Ibos call Tinubu and everyone who supports his aspiration all sorts of names and try as much as possible to tarnish his image . Asides Peter Obi and Him tu lie . I can't recall any other degrading term used for Obi . All this simply means Obi is been supported by the Ibos because he's Ibo, yet some Yorubas are supporting him as well . Tinubu supporters have always referred to his achievements in and out office as the reason to vote him but all Obi supporters do is tell us how bad a candidate Tinubu is. So you see the Ibos will never support a Yoruba candidate no matter what except it's only Yorubas on the Ballot like Obasanjo/Falae. We Tinubu supporters want the country to grow and have a right to say we want it more than Obi supporters

Unfortunately, there is no way to verify if there is any truth in this article.
Like seriously, someone was publicly 'stoned' at a campaign and no one noticed it until they got home and the person told them.
How far can Lucifer go!

Awo was never stoned. This is pure propaganda. If a stone had hit PA Awo's head everybody would have seen it but he said only Awo saw the stone. PURE LIES.

You are wrong on that. Igbos feeling betrayed was a result of the outcome of the war which General Ojukwu lost. And mind you, it was General Ojukwu's actions that made Awo turned against him. He wanted more, his plan was to take Ibo out of Nigeria, a plan he successfully executed with the help me of Awo, when he started getting greedy and marching down south with his troops, he left Awo no choice, Ojukwu betrayed Awo the moment he started making plans to annex Ikenne, Awolowo's very home town, and wishing to take Lagos, which would have been taking the whole of Nigeria. His greed and poor judgement cost him the movement, a legend in is right nonetheless, but he lost the war fair and square.. Warfare is Just what it is, Warfare

[quote author=trutharena post=115602241]This is for some of the sophistico Yoruba youth that fell for the antics of Ibo people that always say they hate Tinubu not because he’s Yoruba and bla bla bla.

Awolowo was stoned when he went to the East to campaign back then and this is Pa Adebanjo the same Afenifere guy laying claim to that. Is Awolowo also a bad person like Tinubu according to the Ibos? Or why was he stoned?

Azikiwe campaigned easily in the SW but Awo was stoned in the SE for campaigning.

That’s the same thing they are doing to Tinubu. They are making sure he won’t be able to campaign in the SE, where they term any Igbo that support Tinubu as efulefu and always cancel them.

Yet the same people want to be left alone to campaign in the SW while some Yoruba guys with severe confusionists complex will be sheering them on.

The Yoruba are the only tribe in this country without tribal consciousness and it is as tho something is wrong. [/qu

To all the Yorubas forming woke,can u now see clearly that igbos don’t love u n can never love u

They are decieving u that they would have preferred osinbajo but same people call osinbajo a fake pastor

The same people that hated awolowo,abiola n now tinubu are still d same person trying to turn your back against your people,what igbos do in Yoruba land n u woke Yorubas hail them u dare not do half of it in their region before they remove your head for u

History is about to repeat itself now,Peter obi is campaigning freely but they are issuing threats that tinubu dare not step foot into south east n u are still forming woke

Use your head n get d fact that the Fulani and the igbos are d same,the only difference is that the igbos don’t have federal power

The same people who mocked Yorubas then for being stupid on awolowo case n later said he took rat poison are still d same people who mocked abiola

Will u allow history to repeat itself by forming civil for people who never for once loved u

U think they love u now because they need your votes,many of those supporting obi today check their nairaland comments a year ago n see clearly their intention about Nigeria

Yoruba ronu a man who hates your father can never like u
guess you didnt get the message,even though the attack on awolowo was sad, but same igbo voted for obasanjo twice even abiola won anambra state, you hate the igbos but you didnt get the part where awolowo warned him against being the fulani slave, guess you dont have any issue with being a fulani slave. I support obi so many others do too, and i am from edo state, you cant tell me not to vote obi, but to vote tinubu.

Those fanning hate will not be left out when the country is set a blaze. Go find out from Rwandans.

When you read the full text, you mavel at how mischievous some person can be by twisting the narrative of article.

We need a united south now ever than before. Even with two candidates from the region, the aim should be that either of them should emerge in 2023 Rather than fight one another, the strategy for both should be how to sway the middle belt and part of the Core North.

I am neither Igbo or Yoruba but have schooled and lived in both regions respectively. The level of banter and hate displayed on Nairaland by both party, is a far cry from what is uptained in real sense.

Zik defeated Awo in the west.

Before daybreak, Awo went round to tell the people that Zik is from the East and the result of the election was upturned and Zik lost his freely given mandate

When Eboes voted Obasanjo what alternative did they have?
Eboes voted in preference for Tofa over Abiola

Iboes will never vote Yoruba if they have an alternative

I have said it before and I will reiterate it again, any Yoruba following igbo is either is demented or he/she is not a student of Nigeria .politics. .

U can see what happens to Awo in SE.

Same people saying Tinubu is bad, said they preferred Osinbajo, same people called Osinbajo a mere commissioner. . Igbos are the most tribalized people in the world.


Yoruba following igbos Should ask.

Colonel Fajuyi
Colonel Banjo

And Akintola felt badly Fajuyi n Banjo loose their lives while taking side with Ironsi, same Ojukwu that Colonel Banjo was fighting for was killed by Ojukwu, if they attacked Tinubu in East then let Obi come and campaign in Lagos.

The way they were defeated in 1967 in Ore.

An Osibanjo candidacy would have seriously split Igbo votes for Obi.

Osibanjo would get many times more votes in the SE than a Tinubu can ever get.


appliedscience:

Very true.........

But I stil wish Osinbajo was APC flag bearer....one would have been able to see the ibos for who they truly are..... As a Yoruba man I love tinubu administrative skill, how he transformered Lagos ... But his heath and age is my concern.... Especially wen we made the same mistake with buari.... Whc is stil not over....
Re: How Igbos Stoned Awolowo In Aba — Adebanjo by Gilgil: 4:54pm On Aug 12, 2022
They had an alternative of course.

Igbos voted maasively or Abiola, my friend.

Or did you intentionally ignore that an Igbo man was Vice presidential candidate with Tofa, yet the didn't vote him?

Meanwhile, Abiola was the Igbo candidate, even against their brother being VP, as Abiola was seen as an experienced business man.

No confuse people.

Igbos vote individual merits.

Osibanjo would have drawn from Obis votes significantly. But you would be blindness to that one too

Regardless, there is need for balance.

With all the tit for tat philosophy of the SE, how far has it gotten them?

You don't win by attacking issues with zeal alone. You have to apply wisdom and knowledge.

You want us to pay the Igbos in their coin and without realizing that we would be playing into the hands of even more sinister anti-Yoruba elements.

The situation requires tact than youthful exuberance.

This isn't the point.

You can't blackmail Yorubas to vote for you on the premise you stated.

Peter Obi is a better candidate than the rest - FACTS!

Igbos never hate yoruba people infact Igbos are the only region that believe in one Nigeria thats why u see them build houses all over the country and tell me how many yoruba people have houses or land in other regions. Hatred and tribalism have blind alot of people eyes thats why they don't know who is competent and smart between Tinubu and Obi
I wonder how u feel about Tinubu being ur president even to grant ordinary interview he can't cus he is afraid of what he will say and the kind of questions they will ask him.
You mentioned Pandora did the report said Obi steal money the answer is no but u fail to tell us that the same report talks about how Tinubu and Osun state governor looted money and use it to purchase properties but i never see u mention them is only Obi u see there cus of hatred, tribalism, poverty and eye service. Nigeria must be liberated from our wicked and selfish leaders whether people like u like it or not. God bless you
