Zik became the prime minister through the help of the North, he Joined hands with the North because he thought that North were Gullible and he could play them, not knowing they were the master Politicians, who.later sidelined him after. Awolowo was the Leader of the of the western region, and he wanted the best for his western people.As at 1900, the whole of the present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial District and some southern parts of Taraba State called Munchi District back then; were all in the Southern Protectorate. Whoever doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas for secondary schools in Nigeria. With that situation the South had a higher population than the North hence always had an upper hand in any democratic bargain.
But as at the early fifties when the regions were being created, common sense dictated clearly that these areas should fall in the future Eastern Region. But against common sense, the colonial masters decided to gerrymander them into the Northern Region. While they did that, Azikiwe who was supposed to be in Enugu fighting against it as the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan struggling with Awolowo to rule the Western Region and also playing the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara and present Kogi Yorubas carved into the Western Region from the North which was already too large by landmass.
Anascopeterson: While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo for his own (Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. Rather they applauded him as a nationalist. A nationalist whose house was burning yet busy chasing rats in a far away land. . Yorubas love zik? you guys are also known for telling false tales, even presently, A large population of the Igbos don't like zik, that is why one of his statues was destroyed in the was during the end sars protest. Awolowo was far better than zik in all aspect, because he did what a true son of the soil would do, wish the best for his people, and not become power hungry with the urge to rule every body like pathetic zik.
While Awo and balewa tried making Provision in our constitution for future secession, it was this same zik that was demonizing them and calling them enemy of the state, while you Igbos were cheering him on, Now tides has changed, you can't keep the rest of us under your feet like to dreamt to again, you now want leave. Selfish people

Omo wa gba iyi.
This people are obsessed with dominating others, as if na curse.
And they won't see anything wrong in that, instead they will say they are hated.
All they needed in 1967 was to bomb the Niger bridge but no, they want to liberate the Yorubas, but Yorubas know that it was an annexation, subjugation and domination agenda all over again.
Search and read the useless public address made by Zik in Lagos, that wake Awolowo and the rest of Yoruba elders up and made them formed AG, Action group, which won SW at the expense of Zik's party NCNC, which also belongs to Herbert Macaulay a Yoruba man.

jimyjames:
we never tried to Lord ourselves over anybody in 1966 explain how we did.

what stupid claim? we own a lot of properties all over Nigeria not just in South West and there is no doubt about that, extreme poverty and under development is visible all over Nigeria making Nigeria the capital of poverty in the world

we have never forced Biafra on anyone there are people in South East against/in favour of Biafra just as there are people in South South against/in favour of Biafra, all we have asked is a referendum for everyone to decide

If you don't know where you are coming from, you won't know where you are going.
Your people tried to dominate and exploit other tribes in their various regions.
Did Zik not tried to become the premier of SW?.
Go and listen to Late Samuel Ladoke Akintola, the former premier of SW, on the nepotism of Igbos at the University of Ibadan.
Where as educated as Yorubas are at that period, Yorubas are only good enough to be employed as messengers, cleaners and gardners.
Was it not the same thing happening in the north?
Why do you think Akintola, Ahmadu Bello, Balewa and Okotiebo needs to die?.
Anyone standing on Igbo domination agenda must go, period.
Must Igbos force themselves on others?, and have Igbos stopped?, just look at the so called Biafran map, people that are not even related to Igbos have been carved into the map without seeking their consent and you said your people don't seek to dominate others?.
Until your people stopped looking at others as idiots whom Igbos needs to manage or baby sit,
sorry will continue to be una case in this country.

But some people say Yorubas were not educated before independence na.
This is why they suggested that it is better they helped managed Yoruba land, awon olori buruku, iyekan werey.

Guestlander:
What hyping? Can't you see these things with your own eyes?
Must you always condemn the government even when they perform well?
Nobody is hyping anyone, we all agree that insecurity is still a big problem in the country but that doesn't mean we should condemn everything, even positive initiatives.

Leave the poor guy alone, he's blind.

Abohboy:
How has Venezuela, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Zimbabwe etc not made the list but Nigeria, Ethiopia and Ivory Coast made it onto the last the writer is very clearly biased

Ignore the worthless writer, Aljazeera has already exposed this hypocrisy.
People live inside standing fridge in Philippines, some even live in the grave yards.
People fight to death to over sand in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, a visit to Honduras, Haiti and Ecuador will convince you.
Oh I forgot to mention Guyana, these are some of those despicable countries I can remember.
If you know any please update.

tollyboy5:
Keep your yeye owe to yourself. Tinubu ancestors are in osun state. Our ancestors here now see their mistake of selling Lagos to osun man in the name of one oduaa. Ashe na greedy nonentity !

Osuka ti a fi ru igi de ile, ki ba igi wo ina.
Fi igba fun oni igba, ki aye ma ba lo e mo igba.
Ire o.

Alawode01:
ariwo ki pa ojo,okiki kii pa OSU,ariwo oja kolee pa baba oloja lailai,ariwo lasan ni won pa,no one can stop Tinubu except God,those who just they vex for head are just,beating the dead lion.

You dey mind those story tellers?, this nairaland was really an eye opener.
O ye ki eyan ma gbon ni inu ki o si gbon ni ita.
Zik alliance with Sadauna and Balewa was a good move for the Igbos, but Tinubu's alliance with Buhari was a sell out of the Yoruba, awon werey.
If you see how an elderly man was explaining this hypocrisy to me in details, you will understand why you should never let down your guard as a Yoruba man.
The man even told me that, the constitutional crisis that led to WETIE in SW was spare headed by a Lagos rep of Igbo origin at a convention in Jos.
He said no be today the madness start o, he said he finds it appalling that Yorubas have not decode Igbo agenda in Yoruba land up till now.

cktheluckyman:
Abiola won in some states of the SS/SE.Tinubu will not even win a single local government in the region.Besides the Nigeria of today is not the Nigeria of 1993

What will Tinubu achieve with your inconsequential 5% votes?.
Sometimes you people too dey deceive yourselves, Tinubu will not even campaign in the SE, Kano votes already swallowed up SE votes.

Alexis11:
Lol some persons are just angry at this man for nothing.

Don't be deceived by all these disagreement in the SW for now, 90% will end up supporting Tinubu's presidency in the fullness of time.

Pata pata l'eegun nda aso bo ori, a bo tan ni oosha nbo idi igbin.
If Tinubu's ancestors are behind him, how can Yorubas stand against him?.
E go do a lot of them like a movie jor.

Felincous:
He's a Human being, a Nigerian and he has his right to vote and be voted for.
I dont know why we still play this local politics. Every Nigerian has right to contest and they also have right to their opinions too. This Tinubu matter is now looking like some people just hate him for nothing.

They use to call him local champion before, now that Adigun Olododo has grown from a cob into a lion, they now called him anything they like.
Come 2023, he will become their president.
Ton ba nbinu, ki won la ori mo ile.

Abdul05:
How does any body aspire to rule a nation without politics? If Tinubu succeeded in doing so, means good luck to him. with his
political alliance party( mass movements of the north) known as APC, if cleverly led, omo -forget,tinubu is the next president.
.
Koleyewon.

Who ever must reap must sow, or else they will just be ripped apart.
Yo ye won ni 2023.

Dr Olukoya of MFM said this 2020 is a year of great danger, he said anyone who survived it must do a special thanksgiving.
He was so on point, even yesterday a family friend still lost an eleven years old son to an ordinary swimming pool, boxing day gone wrong.

Obiobidgbo14:
Please stop that nonsense,your problem is that are always afraid to compete with the Igbos.You think that the world start and end with liars backstabbing and fake life which you people are seeing as being sophisticated. Take it anywhere Igbos are far far more sincere and trusted people than you people.Who started oluwale
(fake documents).After the war those who were in class 4 in secondary schools became PhD holders just within 3yrs the war lasted.Conspiracy to take over and be the head in government offices.

Yorubas are minding their business in the West you Igbos trouped in and started wrestling the control with the owners.
Your fathers used their closeness federal government, to get all the juicy federal positions in Yoruba land.
Go and listen to what Akintola the premier of SW said about Igbo management of University of Ibadan.

abu12:
nobody stopped IBO's from leaving, but ojukwu was using military power to forced other minority(Niger delta) to joined Biafra .IBO's like dominating others, that is why ironsi bring unitary system of government upon themselves.

You dey mind them, after 400 years of slavery and a hundred years of colonization, they want to gather people who are not related to them, and begin another rounds of subjugation, in the name of Southern Nigeria.
Wicked people.

nku5:
Do small research that primary school pupils can easily handle but you no gree. You want to blame Ironsi for your woes when it was Gowon that created states and dissolved the regions.

Instead of you to blame that brown toothed, stinking criminal Tinubu for refusing to participate in Goodluck Jonathan's Confab and work for re-establishing the regions you are here chasing shadows of dead men. Tinubu has enslaved his people for the next 100 years at least because he thinks fulani will give him presidency. The narcotics never clear from him eye but it will still clear

Finally the truth is out, Tinubu dismantled regionalism. .
You people that always want to suppress and subjugate others on the pretex of loving the country, now desperately wanted out because your agenda backfired.
E ti ri nkankan, mariwo le ri, e si ma ri eegun.
Why did Uncle Tom Azikiwe insisted that Southern Nigeria independence will not happen, because the North said they are not ready?.
You want to tell me that upon all the grammer you are blowing on nairaland, you don't know that Nigeria's independence was delayed for two years?.
Your fore fathers were so obsessed with Nigeria because they were control freeks, they think everyone is a mumu and so it will be better if Igbos manage Nigeria.
Did Zik not try to become premier of Western Nigeria at the expense of a brilliant mind like Awolowo?.
Did your people not labeled Awo a tribalist?, did Zik not cornived with Ahmadu Bello to cut Okun and Igbomina people out of South West?.
Are Okun and Igbomina people not relating with their brothers is the SW today.
Zik also cornived with Ahmadu Bello to create midwest, today have the people of midwest agreed that they are Igbos?.
The coup plotters of 1966, how did Okpara escaped them?.
History is bae because it will say it as it is.
Your fathers betrayed everybody and you children are blaming others for your fore fathers greediness.
Eye don open, everyone is minding their bussiness, let Igbos mind their business and live Yoruba matter like Tinubu alone.
If not last last na plenty buckets Nigerians go buy for Igbos, so that you people can cry well well.

And Jonathan did not Southernize Nigeria?.
Especially with that pastor Blingz Oritshejafor flying millions of Dollars all over the place?.
The one way leak out naim we know, only God knows the numbers of dollar flights that where never detected.
and dey still come out to yarn opata, what a country.
It's situation like this that made me want to pray for a Nigerian Stalin, to usher in Stalingrad into this country.
Bunch of animals.

contigiency:
I will say a resounding amen to that your prayer if I was as seek as Nigeria when buhari took over. You know in our usual easily to let go and forget mentality, we have all suddenly forgot that despite oil selling at an average of 120 dollars per barrel, 27 States could not pay salaries before buhari came. Despite oil prices crashing and the activities of the Niger delta avengers, he was able to reverse that situation to a better state now. This is just to mention one.

Stop wasting your time explaining things, you think they don't know this?.
If they don't hate Buhari they'll die, failures hate achievers, why do you think Yoruba elders hate BAT?, they are all politicians but BAT is more successful simple.
You work hard and spend your hard earned money to build a house, they will be like " he can't even buy drinks for boyz it shall not be well with him ", as if the reason you work hard is to buy drinks for them, bunch of animals.
Ignore them jor.

chrisxxx:
May your life transform the way Buhari has transformed Nigeria. Amen

AMEN.
As if no be this country I dey throughout the 16 fruitless years of Pdindinrin.
Buhari is still the best president of this country.
This was how they hated Attarturk when he was rebuilding Turkey.
Today history described Attarturk as the father of modern Turkey.
God bless Buhari, history will vindicate him.

Aufbauh:
You'll think that a particular Nigeria politician is sound with good educational background not until he present his qualifications before INEC.

A case study of Atiku Abubakar, i was thinking he has a Master's degree not until he presented his qualifications. Just to see that his highest educational qualification is Diploma.

Na lie o, Atiku has Camelbridge, I know because Atiku no dey lie .
He is the most honest Nigerian alive.

tollyboy5:
Is it the Epe division that want Lagoon state out of Lagos?
Apart from badagry and epe the rest oba you posted are bribe collectors, you didnt include akiolu why na?
Those are the yeye obas that has sold Lagos to bastards!

Tell me more about it.

@ Dasini, go and listen to that Bakare's message again, the so called Afenifere had a Yoruba conference in Ibadan, how many people attend?.
Tinubu called a conference in the same Ibadan, those who matters including traditional rulers attended.
Ade ori okin, ki ise ti eye k'eye.
Though a brilliant and forward looking, anu ni Tinubu ri gba, ki ise mimose.
Awon alale our ancestors are proud of him, they are behind him.
Abraham Adesanya told Abacha, "those who fights against Yorubas don't end well, how did Abacha end?, these agbaya dem who hides under Afenifere title to perpetuate all kinds of atrocities against their brothers, just watch how they will end.
Other traitors in this country, who merchandised their people for selfish gains, will see the shame of Afenifere and repent.

Katlyst:
So, only a southwestern will have yorubas at heart.
What is the usefulness of Buhari to northwest people?
I don't support regional politics and moreover only
few people receive political favours, appointments, contracts etc.

You may highlight the Lagos to Ibadan railway as a benefit to southwest
or the approved Kano to Maradi railway for the northwest.
However, basic problems in southwest & northwest are left unattended to.
I am looking for a competent president that will project Nigeria to the world.

And there are no basic problem in theSouth East?, one needs to be smart like ekwuensu to understand your state of mind.

Richiedaddy:
Tinubu is the bridge that the South west can leverage on to achieve their agenda, its only that EGO will not allow all this Yoruba people to work with him
We too get Ego even if out idea can not buy suya we will be looking for ways to pull somebody that can buy cow down

A n juwon lo o se wi l'ejo, ija ilara o tan boro.
Tinubu get sense pass them, this is what led them to this show of shame.
They want to rescue Yorubas from Tinubu, eni ta be l'ori to nse enu wuje, li lo tun ku ti o so.
Most of them can't even win their wards, they are politically useless.

olatuns2017:
I watched the video

The point is you can't jettison TINUBU weight in this present Nigerian politics


pa Adebanjo,OBJ and BAT should work together for oduduwa nations

Agba Iya, Adebanjo, and agba iranu Obj can't do jack to Tinubu, rather they should tell us who is bankrolling them to destroy Tinubu.
Tinubu already has the people that matters, Ooni, Alafin, Olubadan, Alake and so on, if you know what is about to happen you go mellow.

tollyboy5:
God bless you! People are now foolish not to foresee reality.

Only if people knew the natives of Lagos are marginalize then you'll know this man is a greedy bastard

Tell us the names of marginalize Lagosians.
I seriously hope you won't say Bode George because that one na politics.
Until you see, Eleko and Oloto, Oniru, Ojora, Aro, Akran, Ayangbunrin and Olu of Epe wailing in Lagos, anyone who cry must cry us a Lagoon.
These are the owners of Lagos, if you how happy these families are with Tinubu, you go find better work go do.

Cyberterror:
Tinubu will make a good President but APC should have mercy on Igbos and give us the Presidency.

PDP will give Igbos the ticket.

wellmax:
The interesting thing about this video is that Bakare is never a fan of Tinubu. He's just saying what is obvious.

Watch the video, he said he was invited as a Yoruba elder to attend a meeting and he asked them, who do you want to kill this time around?.
Bakare knows them inside out, they killed Bola Ige in other to destroy AD, Tinubu was just too smart for them.
They can sell Yoruba to anybody for self benefits but Tinubu has no right to try that.
Buhari alligned with them in 2011 but failed, Buhari tried Tinubu in 2015 and succeed, since then they've been saying Tinubu stole Yoruba from them.
The way the matter dey go now, these Afeniferawon will be completely ECLIPSED after 2023 election, this is why they are calling meeting of fellow loosers like them.
This is not the Afenifere that was left Behind by Abraham Adesanya, these are opportunistic profiteers, Bakare did well by exposing them.

Yes I see it, the difference is clear.
Another Christmas celebration without sleeping at the fueling station.

Haykings100:
Meanwhile, the innocent Leah Sharibu has been forgotten and abandoned to captivity for nearly 2 years now and about 300 boys rescued within a week of abduction?? This obviously the biggest scam ever. Shame to Buhari and his fellow actors.

Don't get uneccessarily sentimental, Leah Sharibu chose her path.
She wasn't the only Christian among the girls, she was only asked to be converted to Islam and she will be released.
Even Peter denied Christ three times, he was about to deny Christ for the fourth time fleeing the hangman in Rome.
He met Christ on the way and Christ asked him an important question, this was how peter repented and returned to Rome, and was crucified upside.
Do you know how many Nigerian Christians are living in a place like Saudi Arabia and other strict Muslim countries?.
So how do they managed to stay alive?.they need to survive and they did what needs to be done to survive.
Other Christian girls kidnapped along Leah are back home reading their Bibles, other fanatics should learn from Leah's mistake, I'll praise God for her if she ever gets out, that's if she ever gets out.

BreconHills:
The countries you chose as an example do not make a connection with Nigeria. One was war torn and the other pursued a Venezuelan socialist economy. Nigeria does not fit any of these shoes. Nigeria fx challenges are systematic not availability dimensioned. Nigeria has over $36bn in reserves and 21.64 tons of Gold not to talk of US Treasury bill holdings. Lets not even talk of the billions of USD hidden in those buildings and underground bunkers.

Why the new CBN regulations.

Nigerias diaspora remit over $25bn per annum beating our crude oil receipts hands down. The reason for these new regulations is to recognize that human capital is now Nigerias main fx earner and its flow needs to be freed up from bottlenecks.

When we talk about a dollarized economy, we are talking of the dollar component of our consumables. You can price in Naira with an inbuilt dollar scale. You don't have to price your goods in USD to run a dollarized economy.

God bless you, that guy is a pretender he knows the policy will give naira a breathing space, they don't want this.

Maximeo:
But then when one decides to withdraw dollars he/she has been saving in Domiciliary the charges by Bank would cut a big percentage of the money. I've dollar account but I prefer this cash pickup with zero charges. I don't know why anyone would decide to save foreign currency and enrich the banks upon collection?

Try Stanbic bank, as long as you have a domiciliary account, you won't pay Kobo to withdraw your money.
