Elibaba1:It is just the usual stereo type and bitterness propagated against the Yorubas by the tribe which ordinarily should hold us in high esteem. How can you (Igbo) call the tribe that produced the likes of ADEKUNLE FAJUYI, VICTOR BANJO, AKINTOLA, WOLE SOYINKA, FUNMILAYO KUTI, FELA KUTI etc betrayers! Is it that you don't know history or you are just blindfolded by bitterness? |

mblarry1:It is your hatred for the Yorubas, and ignorance that always make your people label the yorubas as backstabers. Betrayal is a general human phenomenon and not peculiar to any tribe. Is this the first time you are hearing politicians say nasty things about each other after fallen apart? When Tambuwal betrayed Wike, did that make the entire Hausa tribe backstabbers? Stop hating on Yoruba, the consequences will be too dire! 3 Likes 1 Share |

franchasng:The problem of an average Igbo person is to always absolve his tribe of any fault and blame Yorubas for everything. Why not start your analysis from when Zik decided to form an alliance with the NPC in the late 1950s as against with Awo; why not ask for the position of your leaders during the 1959 constitutional conference in Britian as against Awo's concern of domination; why not consider the selective manner in which some political elites were executed across the country by the Igbo coup plotters in 1966; why not consider the statement made by Ironsi to the Yorubas when he was asked to release Awo when he became Head of State. To set the record straight' Awo was already "VP" under Gowon when he visited Enugu to dissuade Ojukwu from embarking on the war. He merely said "if Igbo secede, Yoruba also will secede", while filing questions from reporters. Now that is made to look like an agreement reached on a round table between the two tribes. Even at that, Yorubas were sitting on the fence for the first few months into the war before Ojukwu crossed to West (Ore). What was Ojukwu's intention for crossing to west? It was at this point that Awo rallied Yorubas and repelled the attack from Biafran forces (thesame Yorubas that are tagged cowards till today). Imaging you blaming Tinubu and venerating Orji Uzor Kalu, Okorocha, Kenyamo, Akpabio, Omo-Agege etc who belong to the same political party as Tinubu. During the last 2019 presidential election, there were many yorubas who voted against Buhari and there were Igbos and other tribes who voted Buhari. So, why isolate Yorubas for blame? The Igbos have refused to heal 4 Likes |

| Politics › Re: Nigeria’s Problems Started With Awo’s Introduction Of Tribal Politics — Unongo by Allann(m): 5:29pm On Jun 26, 2017 |
BuariCopyPaste:1. NCNC was the only political party in Nigeria prior to 1946. It was lead by Macaulay. Its members became the first set of political elites in Nigeria, firmly in control of the political space. 2. 1946 Richard constitution broke the southern Nigeria into east and west, same year Macaulay died and Zik assumed leadership of ncnc. Zik inherited the party structure left behind by Macaulay, thereby massive support from the ncnc yoruba elites. The new constitution had granted more political powers to the regions 3. There after, Egbe Omo oduduwa was transformed to a political party AG, Awo assuming leadership, but the political elite, most of whom were in ncnc never gave him a chance. 4. Awo worked assiduously to gain popularity amongst the Yoruba masses, but the elite thought he was joking, particularly as he was not from the core Yoruba tribe. 5. Awo realising the elite factor working against him decided to empower some youth politically against the power that be. The game became brutal.That was the genesis of the death of Bode Thomas and the deposition of Alaafin Adeyemi(father of the present Alaafin). 6. Now the constitution tried to address the status of Lagos, and the Yoruba insisted that Lagos should remain part of west, in fact, it must be represented in the western house. So Zik was representing one of the Lagos constituencies in western house. 7. Now, the ncnc elite of the western extraction were loosing out as they could not match the popularity of Awo, so the only option for the ncnc was to support Zik who was the only popular figure to challenge Awo for the premiership. 8. In fact, some Yoruba traditional rulers supported Zik against Awo, and some ncnc members decamped to AG. Some aggrieved AG members left the party. A lot of intrigues, but in the long run, Awo emerged. 9. So, was it wrong for Awo to have garnered more support from his people than Zik? Why did Zik not chose to be opposition leader in the Western house? 14 Likes 3 Shares |

Yyeske:Not really trying to give any excuse but just trying to explain the "brown roofs ". They should not be seen as a sign of backwardness or stagnancy, rather as a phase in development. It appears most Igbo towns are now going nucleated, and Yoruba towns growing on the outskirts. Some people have chosen to ignore the development but rather overemphasized the brown roofs. 1 Like |

MXrep:There are two factors you need to consider in your argument : 1. Igbos are known for living in dispersed settlements. So, as they urbanized, the empty Space are built up to have morden towns. However, in yoruba land, they live in nucleated settlements. So, modern development has to be in the outskirts. 2. The inheritance systems also have some roles to play. In Igbo land, the eldest son inherits the father's property, an so becomes the owner. He could do whatever he likes with such inherited building. However, in Yoruba land, all the deceased owner's children have right to the building. So it's always difficult to agree on joint effort at refurbishing the inherited building(especially in a polygamous family). Individuals will rather go and erect their personal buildings in the outskirts to avoid family problems. Dont you wonder why Ibadan has remained the largest city in Nigeria (and beyond) for almost a century? 3 Likes |

Yyeske:Ibadan, as is the case with most yoruba towns, is reputed for sitting on seven hills. The undulating landscape make the corrugated brown roofs so conspicuous. Save that, there is no ancient town in Nigeria that does not have it's fair share of brown roofs, except for those living in caves as at the time those brown roof buildings were being erected. |

Noneroone:Ok. Ordinarily I should refer you to the 1959 constitution build up. But for the sake of clarity I will address it here. Prior to Amalgamation of 1914, all manner of people were grouped into 2 protectorates (North and South) with lopsided statistics in favour of the north, but the south had advantage in education. By 1946 when the south was broken into 2, and Nigeria now had 3 regions, the north now had additional population advantage over the other 2regions. But it did not become an issue as we were moving towards independence together. But then, when Enahoro moved the motion for independence in 1956, and the north raised concerns over what should have been a balancing advantage for the south, it became a source of concern for the West in particular. So, Awo said if it's about the issue of domination, the north also should be broken into regions. This will ensure that the northern population would be broken down into the regions., and the fear of domination by any tribe would be settled as there would be no dominant region but all with fairly equal population. That was the position of Awo in 1959 or Yoruba would not be part of the new Nigeria. But Zik thought he could manipulate the north, and together with the north they suppressed Awo and wished that fear away. And today Awo is vindicated! Modified The actual submission of Awo was that Nigeria should be broken into (smaller components ) states before independence to address the fear of domination by the region that has population advantage (as politics is a game of numbers), and to also give the minorities voice. 2 Likes |

Noneroone:What exactly is your point? I don't seem to get you. Please don't be rude to me as I have not been rude to you. Let's address history. My argument was not about who moved motion for independence first. Is it a bad thing for a people who is blessed with human and natural resources to demand for self rule /independence? Agitation for self rule began shortly after the almagamation of 1914, and that was why the first political party (NCCNC) was formed. macaulay was the leader and Zik the deputy, because the entire south was a single protectorate. Then followed by series of conferences. All in the direction of self rule. In the same vain, 1946 Richard constitution broke the entire south into East and West. Macaulay died and Zik took over. What was their cause? As Richard constitution gave the signal that independence might come along ethnic /regional line, Action Group was floated in the West. Why did they give self rule to the regions at diifferent times ? So what is your point sir? |

Noneroone:Enahoro moved for independence, and the north resisted because they felt they were educationally disadvantaged and might be oppressed. So Nigeria had to wait for 4years to address that concern. Then based on this and other anticidents, Awolowo also felt that it would be dangerous to leave the north as a region(since politics is the game of number and the north had been unduly favoured by the British), despite the fact that they were not homogeneous in anyWay. He saw the danger of domination. Your people were too arrogant to see any danger. Rather they formed an alliance and blackmailed Awo into submission. Six years was too late for your people to wake up, and somebody was talking of One Ojukwu waking up in the morning to see what Awo didn't see. Go and read history with open mind bros . 2 Likes |

successmatters:I know you don't know that Nigeria could have gotten her independence in 1956 But for the fear of domination by other tribes nursed by the north. They held other tribes down till their fear was addressed. I also know that you don't know that Awolowo insisted that Yoruba would not support one Nigeria independence until the north was broken into smaller regions. My sister, go and find out the position of your people at the two occasions. Then you will know who woke up late, and claiming morning by mid day. 4 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=7lives post=47725938][/quote]It is easy now. You go and register a political party, then pick your cohorts too to represent us. Why can't we just for once separate sentiment from reality. Must/can everybody be in government? Why don't we concentrate on how to hold the office holders accountable or you go ahead and contest if you have the wherewithal.

The lack of tact in handling these two was the simple reason why GEJ lost in the last election, and some people still crying of marginalisation. The only reason why most people were against gej conference was because it was too close to the end of his administration which could frustrate the implementation. |

nku5:Its obvious you've not been following the trend in Nigeria politics. The stance of Yoruba from Awo till now is still the same - true federalism. In fact, just last week, the Vice President reiterated this position. But the problem is that since the time of Ironsi who altered the system by introducing unitary system, the region that is benefitting from the malady has refused to let go. Also, the long period of military rule which favoured some regions made it more complex. Now, the yorubas think of political solution but some other regions think of violent solution. My only headache is, if this agitation was genuine, when gej was there, what did he do about it? Oh, I learnt he empowered a handful of militants as against the general interest of the regions. 1 Like |
