they never get Sense like that, but my problem is the way Igbo people are insulting Yoruba, in all our daily activities, igbos can't be trusted on anything but they're better off than Hausa/Fulani.

We shall never forget this...
And posterity shall never forgive this consummate and pathological liar
for plunging this country into this mess through the one he sponsored in 2015.

PresidObi:
We shall never forget this failed promise and the harbinger of bad news

We will not be deceived a third time.

I dey warn all those tinubu urchins, them nor gree hear word
Lolzz
Tinubu is supposed to plead with Obi to step down for him and try to unite the entire South, but instead, he is playing politics of tribalism, hate and bitterness wiith the South, thinking the north will give him block votes
Whoever put hope in north is deceiving himself.
Have u ever asked urself why kwakwaso and Atiku supporters have never attacked themselves for once?
Lolzzz
2023 is loading
Yorubas must get sense by force
I won't be surprised when Obi will step down for Atiku at the last minutes
Make we dey watch

Is this not against party rule?
Why is the leadership of APC acting as if they are not aware of this?

You've shot the first shot, calling me a slowpoke. I'm pretty sure I'd I retaliated, the mods would be here to do my handle in.

If you haven't noticed, I HARDLY respond to anything with an "F" on their moniker, and that's because I see them as too weak emotionally to be engaged. But hey, I've got that jagged edge as well, and believe me, you don't wanna flip me on that side.

There are thousands of your like around you, you may go do your ass clapping contest with them, with some luck, you might triumph, as I pretty much doubt you have what it takes to, you bonny ass strumpit.

I suggest you steer clear my lane, you won't like what you get the next time. This is an advice and a warning.

Thank you.

See who is talking about weakness
I can smell fear in you ,fear that tinubu will never win presidency.
Better go and rally round igbos and urhobo instead of insult them.

Hahahaha.. u bring fire.. we increase the heat

Northerners are the biggest betrayals of the century. With what is happening now, I think the south should synergize. I know tinubu with his pride will never relinquish his mandate but he can see failure from far.
Look at what tambuwal did to wike.
I pray Peter Obi wins... The whole south should form alliance behind him and bury the north politically.
Tinubu's contribution to APC is immeasurable now what is his reward? Betrayal.
I'm not a fan of tinubu but I hate betrayal.

Smart campaign.....She can't campaign against Atiku in Adamawa but if Atiku loose the presidency she will put up a large Tinubu picture.....that's what politicians do..

If Anyone going for senate or house of rep tries this they will loose spectacularly cos all these 3 offices ( presidency, senate , rep ) are all happening on thesame day.......electorates are not that educated to differentiate one from the other. AD governors tried in the days of Obasanjo and they all lost out

You see 2023 and you are saying na then. Are we now in 2027?

Rekhina:
Yarubas think we north have no sense , they go about telling themselves evil they want against the good north while smiling to us calling us brothers after killing us with opc and Lagos touts blaming igbos for the killings .
We all know Muhammadu buhari is a failure why will yaribas tell us igbos are enemy to the north for hating buhari and his crazy fans if they aren't so wicked?

The North may think they have the numbers but go n check or read Nigeria history on politics ... southwest has remain a formidable force that can never be relegated since pre-colonial till date.
Tell your northern almajiris no matter a big a timber tree is, it can't make a forest No president as ever succeeded without the collaboration of southwest, i challenge political scholars in the house to remind me what i don't know.

As far as Nigeria election is concern, according to voting pattern electorates are classified into mainly two. N + E vs N + W

so Rekhina or whatever your name is tell your sisters n brothers to kindly do the worst come 2023 no shaking

That's adamawa.

I don't do this cuz one can't just be replying every riff-raff who comes online to constitute nuisance but for d sake of d discerning public. I guess u're an Igbo,so,
I'll address u accordingly.
It's actually d Igbos that tore off d fabric of unity,harmony & ethnic cohesion we're enjoying right from d onset. They betrayed d Yoruba in a way that can be best described as d height of treachery. They formed an alliance with this same North(who is now their sworn enemy) through their regional party, d NPC( Northern People's Congress) against the Western party of Awolowo( The Action Group) in a bid to probably spite the Yoruba. This happened in d 50's. The Biafran War was totally avoidable cuz it's this Action Group that came up with right of secession clause in d emerging constitution then. Awolowo through d Action Group fought for a clause to be inserted that would enable any region( we'd three regions then) having a tangible reason & willing to secede to do so without shooting a single fire. The igbos through their regional party(NCNC) vehemently fought d clause & that's how d Action Group became an opposition party to both d NPC of d North and NCNC of d East. U igbos have continued to present urselves as a spoke in d wheel of progress of other regions, especially d SW, yet it's so easy for u to claim & play d victim card while u're d surreptitious aggressor. U wonder why no tribe wants to trust u guys? D answer is embedded in our history. U guys should be begging d Yoruba rn and not baying for blood anytime u feel like. My best friend is an Igbo & I believe d Igbos are great ppl but are not on d good side of history when it comes to this unholy marriage called Nigeria. U guys should go check ur history. Let's just live in peace & stop threatening, harassing, insulting, name-calling other tribes. Peace.

ScamHunter:
Bola has been tinubulated by the Northerners. Suffersticated politics has backfired on the face of our Yoruba people. I just pity them. After 2023, they'll go back to the opposition politics that they're specialists in since 1960. Since they think they could sell the rest of the south to please one man as they did in 2015. I pity them because they're permanently relegated. Now northerners do not trust them and Southerners do not trust them. That's the consequence of being double faced, double mouthed chamelons that betray everything betrayable. I like what the north is doing. Betray the betrayers. They thought singing Sai baba at the expense of the south would permanently keep power rotating between the SW and North to spite Ndigbo and Jonathan. Man no be God.

Could this be a mistake?

Tinubu should struck a Deal with Peter obi and step down for him.
The north central of plateau, nassarawa, Benue, southern gombe,and southern Kaduna are voting obi.
Obi will win south east and south south. If southwest comes on board for obi, it's game over.

HISTORY NEVER DIES....*

*By Reno Omokri*

What Queen Elizabeth II’s Death Exposes About Biafra

First published in my column, #TheAlternative, in today’s ThisDay.

When on Thursday, September 8, 2022, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II passed on into ancestor-hood, I was not particularly moved. I like England. I schooled and worked there and those years were some of the best of my life. The English people are by far some of the most decent peoples on planet Earth.

However, I am rather indifferent about their monarch. I did not like or dislike Queen Elizabeth II. The only thing I can think of that I admire in her is her stoicism. Her ability to take pain and pleasure with equanimity. She is the epitome of duty and a stiff upper lip.

But I doubt that I bothered much about her and her goings on. I was just aloof.

So, while I was not one of those mourning, it was not because I had some grudge against the House of Windsor. No. It is just that the House of Ginuwa (the first Olu of Warri), mattered more to me than Buckingham Palace.

The above not withstanding, I was absolutely mortified by the hideous and historically inaccurate things that were said about the Queen and her family by a Nigerian woman living in America, whose name I will not dignify by mentioning.

I later got to find out that this woman has other issues, which made me understand her bitterness better, though I still vehemently reject her indecorous words.

She was one of the people who famously celebrated the death of TB Joshua and called him all sorts of unprintable names when he died. So it is no big surprise that she has turned her vitriol in the direction of the late Queen.

And so now, let me tackle what the death of Queen Elizabeth II reveals about Biafra. It shows us as a people not aware of our history, and because we are not aware of our own history, we have distorted it, such that propaganda and pseudo history has been orally passed down from one generation to the other, feeding unfounded bitterness that is destroying those who harbour it, and having no effect on those against whom they are embittered.

That is why some people believe they were just sitting down minding their business and Hausa people came to fight them (all Northerners are Hausa to some people) because they hate them. There was absolutely no provocation, or igniting events that preceded the Nigerian Civil War. Hausa people just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and for some strange reason decided to pounce on the people of Eastern Nigeria.

But of course, that is not what happened. However, because we do not write our history, and even worse, we have refused to teach it in our schools, there are millions of people who believe this version of events. In fact, they swear by it.

One fellow named Uche Nnaya even tweeted at me that the Igbos of Southeast Nigeria had a right to rail against the British monarch and the rest of Nigeria, because “you can’t push people to the wall and dictate how they react.”

Really? But do those who hold such views not know that some other persons were FIRST pushed to the wall? Uche’s response will also justify how those who were first pushed to the wall reacted.

We cannot keep holding grudges as if other people do not have their own grudges that they have let go for the peace and unity of this country called Nigeria.

My great uncle, Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, was shot and killed in the street by Major Chris Anuforo on January 15, 1966. Ironically, I went to school with Anuforo’s son. Should my people carry that grudge forever?

Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was shot on the street like a common criminal by Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna. Ifeajuna tried to deny it, and claimed that Alhaji Balewa died from an asthma attack, until his body was taken to LUTH and examined by the then minister for health, Dr. Moses Majekodunmi. It was established that the body was riddled with bullets in a front page story in Daily Times, written by Segun Osoba, who later became the Governor of Ogun. He is still alive.

This was an incorruptible gentleman. He lived a very ascetic life. Materialism was FAR from him. He was an author. His book, Shaihu Umar, was the first novel written in Hausa. He surrounded himself with Southerners (in hindsight, was that a mistake?). His best friend was Matthew Mbu. Should the Tafawa-Balewa family and the people of Bauchi, where he was from, hold a grudge forever?

I could go on and on and list the people killed on January 15, 1966, and the identities of their killers, but that would just be reopening old wounds. These are historical facts, which some people deny and pretend as if the Civil War happened in a vacuum.

So, please let us stop pretending as if the late Queen Elizabeth II came to Nigeria and ignited a war. The Nigerian Civil War was ignited by a series of unfortunate events that began with the cold blooded murder of 22 people from the Northern, Western, and Mid Western regions by people of mostly Eastern region origin, which led to a counter coup by Northern Nigerian military officers on July 29, 1966, and the unfortunate pogrom of 66-67.

Many people now spewing vitriol against the late Queen Elizabeth II for her alleged role in the Nigerian Civil War conveniently forget that between August 9, 1967 and September 20, 1967, Biafran forces invaded and occupied the Midwest region, and named Albert Nwazu Okonkwo, as military Governor of the Midwest. A number of non Igbo speaking Mid-Westerners lost their lives during the Biafran occupation of the Midwest.

After the Midwest was liberated by forces led by colonels Murtala Muhammed and Benjamin Adekunle, more Mid-Westerners, this time those linguistically linked to the Igbo (especially in the Asaba axis), were killed. Please research it before you insult me.

I need to add that the killings by the liberating forces were worse than the killings of the Biafrans, and should truly have been declared war crimes.

Yet, in that same Midwest, we accepted Nigerians of Southeast origin back after the war. We did not seize their properties in the abandoned property saga that occurred in the Port Harcourt area and its environs. We let bygones be bygones.

The truth of the matter is that If the January 15, 1966 coup had never happened, it is most unlikely that the Nigerian Civil War would have occurred. The perpetrators of that coup opened a Pandora’s Box that the rest of Nigeria are still suffering from today!

There was wild jubilation all over Nigeria after that coup, because Nigerians believed it was a patriotic and nationalistic coup. Then the names of those killed were announced over the radio, and it was discovered that only people from the North, West and Midwest were killed, but NOBODY from the East was killed, whereas the vast majority of those who carried out the coup were from the East.

That is the remote cause of the Nigerian Civil War. We will remember it. We will also teach it to our children, so that it does not reoccur.

So, to just keep nursing grudges and reopening old wounds will do no one any good. You can bully others into submission, but you cannot do it to Reno Omokri. I know history and I am a meticulous record keeper!

It is only those who are ignorant about how the British government works that will blame the late Queen for the actions of the British government. She was a titular and ceremonial head of state, whose actions were limited to appointing the candidate who has won election directly or indirectly as prime minister, and declaring open the parliament. She was a symbol. She was not the initiator of the policies of the British government.

And even the British government are not to blame for the Nigerian Civil War. We must learn to take responsibility for our own actions. That war was the result of the ill advised January 15, 1966 coup.

The coup itself was led by Majors Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna. It was executed by the following persons:

1. Kaduna Nzeogwu
2. Emmanuel Ifeajuna
3. Timothy Onwuatuegwu
4. Adewale Ademoyega
5. Chris Anuforo
6. Humphrey Chukwuka
7. Donatus Okafor

Of these seven people, only one, Adewale Ademoyega, was non Igbo. The rest were all Igbo, although Major Nzeogwu was what was referred to at that time as Midwest Igbo (later colloquially referred to as Bendel Igbo and now as Delta Igbo). Major Donatus Okafor’s mother was Tiv. However, his father was Igbo.

Incidentally, some Igbos unwisely try to deny that Nzeogwu was Igbo, and call him ‘your South-South’ brother. Unknown to them, the more they do this, the more they make non Igbos feel that those specific Igbos who say that have learned very little since the civil war.

22 people were killed during the coup, including

1. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
2. Ahmadu Bello
3. Ahmed Ben Musa
4. Hafsatu Bello
5. Ahmed Pategi
6. Samuel Ladoke Akintola
7. Festus Okotie-Eboh
8. Brig. Samuel Ademulegun
9. Brig. Zakariya Maimalari
10. Col. Ralph Shodeinde
11. Col. Kur Mohammed
12. Lt. Col. Abogo Largema
13. Lt. Col. James Pam
14. Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe
15. Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke
16. Mrs Latifat Ademulegun
17. Zarumi Sardauna
18. PC Yohana Garkawa
19. Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo
20. PC Akpan Anduka
21. PC Hagai Lai
22. Philip Lewande

As is clear from the list above, none of them were from the then Eastern Nigeria. . (I have since learned that Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe was Igbo. He was in charge of weaponry in Lagos, and was killed when he refused to cooperate with Major Chris Anuforo).

After the coup, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi took over. Rightly, or wrongly, the rest of the nation felt that a coup carried out by overwhelmingly Eastern officers, and of which the victims were entirely non Easterners, and which supplanted a Northern minority leader (Tafawa-Balewa), with an Igbo leader, (Aguiyi-Ironsi) was a set up.

However, Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi’s promise to try the coup plotters placated the rest of the country. Sadly, the plotters were jailed, but were never tried. And the immediate cause of the July 29, 1966 counter coup was when rumours circulated that the coup plotters had been receiving full salaries in jail and were to be promoted.

These are facts that we all should address, rather than blaming the late Queen Elizabeth II for a war she did not cause, nor had anyway of stopping. And if we do not learn from our history, there is every possibility that another war might erupt in Nigeria.

The Biafrans inflicted a very harsh occupation on present day Rivers, Cross Rivers and Akwa-Ibom, as well as present day Delta and Edo before they were flushed out by federal forces. The Bayelsa area escaped the brunt of Biafran occupation due to the fight back from Isaac Adaka Boro. They invaded Ore and hundreds of soldiers and civilians died. There is still a Yoruba proverb about the amount of people that died in Ore. Ask a Yoruba person to tell you the meaning of ‘o le ku ija Ore.

We have all forgiven and moved on. Yet, you want to reopen these old wounds and make them cancerous by blaming Queen Elizabeth II 50 years after the war?

Shebi u know nobody is begging u, why sounding so? Rest aunty. Just know 2023 is between BAT or PO. If BAT loose probably because u guys didn't support BAT wen we needed u guys most, automatically it LL send signal to us to go back and make alignment with Igbo.. Trust me Yoruba hold the country Unity, Once PO enter, it's a done deal(Biafra and Yoruba in top gear, by then it LL b good to say nobody should trust North again, Igbo will want to revenge ur atrocities ) .Everybody go their seperate way, that time all our Yoruba Politicians will have no reason than to support the movement and then PO would be forced to allow resource country and technical regional govt. Let's see how it goes who would b affected the most. Person wey we dey feed they threatening us because of power.. Wisdom Kee u there.

North is just being unfair to Southern part of the country, but the question is South honest to themselves

Bitterness and hatered is gradually tearing south apart!

Anyways until we wake to reality, the North should continue to teach us politics

BeardedMeat:
You just responded to the sabre rattling by mentioning her you unintelligent horse dump!

M0r0n. She exemplified it the most. You Obidullards have air where your brain should be.

omenka:
And exactly this is the foolish emotional politics you people play, which explains why you kee losing at every turn.

Imagine the foolishness in thinking Buhari was supported by the West to spite Ndigbo. How? Does any part of Nigeria owe Ndigbo any political favours? Even the SS from which Jonathan is doesn't think this way about the election, but you Igbos have chosen to be so childish about a contest that was won and lost fairly and squarely.

Y'all keep missing the mark. When you lose in politics, you don't go around hating your opponents and throwing childish tantrums. You go back to the drawling board, review your strategy and make necessary adjustments to do better next time. That's how politics works. It is a phucking contest out of which there are bound to be winners and losers, and there's NO GUARANTEE you'd be the winner!

I imagine if the SS were like you people, Nigeria would have been reduced to ashes in the wake of that election because you can't stand defeat. You keep applauding Jonathan as a "hero of democracy", why then can't you people emulate him? I can't count the number of times he's had tea with the very person who defeated him, but all you people do is wake up and wish the man drops dead, so much so you even celebrated his son's accident. Too many damn blunders on you people's side.

Y'all are terrible losers and you'd lose again in 2023. Ever wonder why Atiku opted for a South Southerner this time despite all your sacrifices fr PDP? It is exactly because of this silly character of yours. You never learn from your past, rather you remain stuck in it like some footprint on Mars.

Smh.

All this write up because of one tribe,Igbo.You will definitely stew in your hateful juice for the Igbos.

You accusing Igbos of being entitled,but now I ask you;

What can be more entitling than the word “emilokan” from one old sick dying man that urinates on himself?
