The Yòrùbás didn't officially support Nigeria during the civil war until the Biafran side chose to attack core Yorubaland which was checkmated at Òrè (in modern day Ondo State).
The attack happened after Biafra captured the Mid-West (Edo & Delta).
Some Igbos already blew up Casino Cinema at Yábà, Lagos before traveling to the East but we let that one slide.

We weren't interested in the war or any other war. We believe in negotiations.

Typical Igbo. They don't like anything that punctures their inflated false sense of self aggrandizement.

This Abaribe is smart. He's manipulating his constituents, giving them what they want to hear/see and subtly dodging from his main purpose of being in the NASS. So long as you are antagonizing Buhari, even if you don't carry out your constitutional duties, those primitive beings are ok by it. *spits*

GuyfawkesAB:
[s] Don't revise history. A lot of us are fully aware of the events of that period. The coalition of the Hausa NPC and mostly Igbo NCNC was lopsided in that the Igbos got most of the juicy appointments to head a lot of Federal departments and institutions to the detriment of the majorly Yoruba opposition. It was this very factor that brought about the protests from Yoruba scholars who saw it as unreasonable and domineering for UI to already have Kenneth Dike, and the Azikiwe led government still went ahead to appoint Eni Njoku to head University of Lagos.

The Yorubas had chosen to accept the outcome that even though, Prof Ajose was a more senior professor to Dike and deserving of heading the first University in Nigeria, his loss to an Igbo man who would readily enjoy patronage from the igbo-Hausa alliance at Lagos Federal government would be hard to question. The appointment of Eni Njoku was the Igbo domination taken too far. The Yorubas had more than enough Professors at this period to head a University, but being in oppositioneant that their children would be sidelined. The northern NPC part of the alliance couldn't do or day much, as they didn't even have any of their kin to field to ensure a balanced outcome.

So the Igbo domination of appointments to heads of departments, agencies and institutions was primarily due to the influence of their own being in government- the same thing they enjoyed during Good luck Jonathan's administration and the same thing Hausa-Fulani enjoys today for the sake of Buhari.

This doesn't take away the fact that the Igbo appointees were educated and qualified. But to keep spreading a lie that the Igbos dominated simply because of this singular reason without acknowledging that their brothers in government facilitated this wave of domination to the detriment of the fellow alliance partners, Hausa-Fulanis, who had very few people to put up to head these organizations (and we're even recruiting foreigners toanage their one Northern establishments like Radio Stations and University in Zaria), and the Yorubas, who even though had more than enough equally qualified candidates, but became victims of the power tussle between SouthWest and SouthEast. Samuel Akintola wouldn't have this look and laugh stance anymore. The moment he broke off from the AG, the crust if his campaign to win over more Yorubas to his party was the juicy positions of MDAs they will now get in the alliance with the NPC, since there was already a growing rift in the NPC-NCNC marriage. When this lopsided marriage got to the point of being strange bedfellows, Michael Okpara had the nod of Azikiwe to reach out to AG for an alliance. Awolowo was already in Prison all this while.

Igbo domination wasn't a mere figment of anyone's imagination. It was not surreal. It was very evident. It still manifested itself when the first couo happened. Rather than the acting President Nwafor Orizu, handing over power to the substantive Prime Minister that the NPC appointed, Mr Dipcharima, he ignored and went to hand over power to another Igbo man, a situation he and his other co-travellers felt was still a better one for their kith and kin. It was a big blow to further confirm to their Hausa-Fulani partners that this was indeed a grand plan of domination.

Today the same tribe is making so much noise because the names of her children are hardly turning up in appointments. No one hears the Kalabari, Boki, Angas, Tarok, Gwari, Jawara, Jukun and all the other many tribes cry as much even though some of them only gets one or two representatives that are still wrongly counted by Igbos as part of North. The Igbo man wants to dominated or be a major person amongst those who call the shots. Being asked to tow the line like others is always assumed as suppression to this inordinate desire of theirs.

The Yorubas don't hate them, but are always wary because of this inordinate desire to overrule everyone by Igbos. This is why Yorubas are still wondering why Igbos would label them all sorts of tags for their alliance with Hausa-Fulani for 2015 and 2019 elections when history tells us that Igbos has had more political alliances with this same north and yet don't get berated for it. It is Yorubas who are not slaves for forming a government with Hausa-Fulani?

This attitude is no surprise. We know now that they accuse others of what they really are.
Little did Awolowo know that the breaking day will bring the announcement that the NCNC has formed a government with the NPC, while he was still waiting hopefully to get a feedback from Azikiwe on forming a coalition with the AG. Yet we know those who call others betrayers endlessly.

History doesn't lie.

Just Imagine that Awolowo was not betrayed by Azikiwe, and had formed a coalition with the AG and Aminu Kano's party to form government?

Or that the thirst to grab power and domination in in such an alliance with NPC, knowing fully well they had the advantage of more educated and political savvy members of the coalition, didn't consume them?

Just Imagine.

what is the name of that so called friend who kept the igbo mans half a million? what was the property? in short give us the name of that igbo man let us cross check our records. for an igbo man to be a landlord collecting over N150k pounds as far back as 1960 his family should be well known today. igbos hate lies, we love truth, thag is why we need proofs. lots of lies have been told concerning our history and that should stop.

Noo. This is just the beginning. Many of them would be cursing Tinubu by now for teasing them into blindly participating in the otogę revolution. Leadership isn't by mouth but by action. They say saraki family were domineering, that they don't want them in kwara again, instead of humbly asking them how they've brought peace and harmony ( the slogan of kwara) to the state for decades and learn.

Someone came and sponsored a revolution against saraki family and his allies, even roping their followers in the offa bank robbery despite seeing the viral video footage without any image or face matching those who were falsely arrested. They even went and forced words into their mouth to further nail saraki, which was refuted by one of them that they were forced to confess falsely by the police....only loyal followers and people with conscience would do just that. Instead of giving them the bribe money they promised them, should they falsely nail saraki, they moved them to abuja and paraded them offa robbery gang.

Saying politics is dirty in Nigeris is an understatement. Saraki may not be perfect but he's much better than those who parade themselves as kwara politicians today. . He has no private jets like our lagos man who went to kwara to sponsor the otogę revolution yet, they call him all manners of names. They don't know tinubu was a political industrialist, who would always ensure he gets more from wherever he has sown. I learnt alpha beta is the company now in charge of kwara revenues and taxes collection. Dem never see anything yet.

Should we start posting pics of how you guys are getting assfvcked

Lol....well, on the flip side, buhari has wasted more flatin0 lives than any president, so it's all good.

WesternOligarch:
You can spam and shill the internet with kumbaya bullshit stories.......but not one inch of Oyo land will go to any fulani herdsmen. Buy land and conduct business like normal human beings and stop fvckin expecting special treatment from the government.

WesternOligarch:
Those ones have used their brains to eat amala.... they're a big embarrassment to every sensible Yoruba, I consider them worse than flatin0s and fulani.

WesternOligarch:
Usually I don't agree with flatin0s on most issues...but he's largely right tho. Below is an article from a British newspaper. This was even 2015 so they're most likely due for an upgrade based on their recent crimes.

Are you really fulani or you're just bullshittin us?
