I just gave you instances where Igbos betrayed Yorubas. Not just once, but twice.
After Aburi Accord, what then happened?

Wasn't the SW and Yoruba also instrumental in Goodluck Jonathan's ascent to become the then Acting President and to him winning the presidential election in 2011?

I know you know the truth.

If you claim that the SW was instrumental to his ascent to power in 2011 what happened to the south west continuing with that support in 2015

The problem started from Herbert Macaulay time when he handed over NCNC to Nnamdi Azikwe and Azikwe turned it to Igbo's party.

Good. You have to tell us what happened in the 1964 election first because the election was before that. You called us betrayal and I gave you instances when Igbos betrayed Yorubas.

LOL. Don't mind him.
It's laughable that the guy you quoted said I went to do research on what I presented to him after he said Yoruba are betrayal and I let him know of two instances where Igbo betrayed and backstabbed Yoruba first in 1964 election. Something that he never knew before now.

Since he has no proof to disclaim the obvious truth and fact, in his lame comeback he now brought Aburi Accord that happened in 1967/68 in his bid to start a straw man argument with me. Who knows he is now the one doing research on the 1964 election while trying to stylishly project his own inadequacies on me.

That's why I just ignored him. Thanks

I have some questions for you, only if you can respond coherently without repeating your as usual bunkum.

Name one rich man, anywhere in the world including your village who made their money through trolling others.

If their are none, that means all rich men dedicate their time on something productive not futility exercise.

The main question now is, are you waiting for baba alawo to tell you say problem dey?
No wonder you haven't make it.🙄🙄🙄

The SW region (Yoruba) are the king of the South in all aspect of metrics. whether politics, economics, cultural spread, educational infrastructure, entertainment, industry, activists and etc.

Even with how the SS minorities always side with Igbos mostly in politics, the Yorubas have been the most successful ethnic group in politics in southern Nigeria based on the number of top politician from the region.
From your goat mind 😂😂😂

Actually, it’s the other way round! Igbos are feeling intimidated by Yoruba and Igbos are seeing Yoruba as king of Southern Nigeria. Why’re they feeling intimidated?

It’s cuz Igbos used to believe they can bend the rest of the south, except Yoruba. This is why they always get bitter with Yoruba. This is why, out of all southern Nigeria, Yoruba nah their headache!

Igbos love to intimidate a lot. And if you’re above what they can intimidate, they’ll have a problem with you! If you do chill with them, you’ll know! Intimidating & bragging, nah their way! Infact, it’s easy to spot Igbos intimidating attitudes - their instinct of always wanting to get a traditional title says it all! Most of them do want this traditional title just to intimidate their fellow Igbos..
Just shut up, please
You know nothing

My name is Ovie , I am from Isoko South of Delta State for security reasons I wouldn’t state my home town.


As a Southern ethnic minority, I don’t understand why the two dominant tribes of the South are always at each others neck.


This is not ordinary, there is a spiritual undertone to this because this two tribes are actually the most productive in other fields aside Agriculture and I don’t see why they can’t stop fighting each other.

I am King of Isoko and I stand for Equity.


NB: We Isoko people na we fight intra-tribal war pass any other ethnic group for the whole Delta, incase you wan troll me.

First of all what makes them "dominant"... is it population because FULANI that are minority are actually dominant over everyone, including your Isokoland....

Secondly, have you asked yourself why folks with different value system continue to be in the same country day in day out, a country they nor their fathers NEVER put together...

Have you asked yourself why una no support Easterners go in 1967..... and how things may have been better for everyone by now....?

Yet I saw you guys watching Champions league final, teams that come from nations that are united by culture, tongue, VALUE SYSTEM.....

Diplomacy for brilliance not coward, yet the igbbos worship cowards, if ojukwuu has embaced diplomacy, biafrann war won't have happened. yet he turned a coward to escape with his family only for him to return and become a hero.
What you should rather say is the Yoruba have a very contrasting value appreciation,while Yoruba values system is built on respect, honor, and 2 other then wealth comes last, the igboos starts money first.
money stop nonsense, Yoruba is gradually turning to north, their elites are living large while the majority of their masses are becoming beggers. The majority of igbos Don't like to depend on others even their rich brothers, nkem bu nkem , nke anyi bu nke anyi is a popular saying in igboland

definitely. That's the first thing I do.... I create boundaries they can't just cross. I do that for my sanity and they know... There are discussions they don't even dare involve me

Exactly what a reasonable Yoruba person should do around Igbos too. Any Yoruba that fails to create necessary boundaries around them deserves flogging.

Wrong on this count. Our forefathers had several tremendous opportunities to dissolve Nigeria if they so wished.

If we look at the history of it, it was North that first wanted out of the union and then West - the East came around to the idea after pogroms of 1966 and the failure of the Aburi accords.

But in the intervening period of time, Nnamdi Azikiwe was the crucial figure that ensured Nigeria did not disintegrate.

We support easterners to go, we just don’t support treasonist and criminals. Go through the proper channels to secede and watch the incredible amount of support you will get from not just the southwest and south south but the north as well.
