Coronabirus:
That's why I like the attitude of core northern states. Despite having the biggest challenges but they'll never throw accusing finger on one another. Only few from the other side knows the geographical location of Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri dominance state. Inspite of wrong accusations and blame games, you hardly see a core northerner blaming one tribe for the fault of other. Fulani are killing people in the name of banditry, Boko Haram is killing and bombing but there was never ethnic tension.
Northern geographical land belongs to the North, if they want to join SW let them join them by mass exodus because not an inch of land will be lost from the northern region.

Spoken like a true Northerner. I miss this attitude

Pimpmaride:
Economic refugees.. U av been noticed

Go. And develop ur land.. Erosion is taking over.
Don't take it personal, just an advice

You just blew your cover, you are among the 98%. One of their trademarks is extending bitterness and curses. Please, quote someone else. I am very sorry for disturbing you (if you feel so)

Pimpmaride:
Yes I can see.. In ur Dream, u av been to Kwara... Delusion of grandeur..

Ipobs way

Economic refugees leaving his land for another land... We know una

If I've not been to Kwara, I would have swallowed some lies here that kwara is a Yoruba state. Only those that has been there knows the boundary between share and tsaragi

There is a difference between "been to" and "live at". Nigerian graduates never disappoint . As for travelling, it's in my DNA as an Igbo man and I can't apologize for it. It's rare, if not impossible to see an Igbo man of above 25 years that has not travelled out of Igbo land at one point in his youthful life

Haywhysat:
You should know, Emir of ilorin jurisdiction is only within Ilorin, other towns have their own king. Emir does not command other town. Or are you telling me that oba of oofa bow for emir of ilorin?

All of them answer to the emir of Ilorin just as most of the nupe emirs answer to the emir of Lafiagi

Pimpmaride:
I know u r an ipob.... I wunt argue with u again..

I av so many Kwara frnds.. So many dt doesn't even understand Hausa... Ur frnd said her neighbor, a Kwaran doesn't understand good morning which is ekaro in yoruba... Imagine

I know u r an Igbo ipob guy, anytin to lie and make ursef feel aiit, u will do..

I. Wunt reply u again... Igbo guy arguing with me abt Kwara and yorubas... Shioorrrr

Yes I am IGBO and I have been to kwara, but can the latter be said about you?
Everything in life is not deliberated based on assumptions. Travel and see.
It's a shame that an Igbo man from far away igboland has been to kwara but a Yoruba man that it's in her backyard still describe the place based on assumptions

middlebelter:
Why are you demonstrating classical insensitivity to other people's opinion. This to say the least is very rude and arrogant of you. The people have a right to determine what they want just like you have yours, for you now to descend to attacking people for their wish will only attract hatred to you and your group. They haven't ask you not to seek your own political arrangements.

It is provocative to think your opinion is superior to others, your inability to understand this simple fact about politics will always work against your larger interest some of us are crying everyday for more political power to your cause in SE only for you to turn to attack your friend's interest. Appalling!

He is just returning the yorubas favour. The yorubas always berate here that speaking a language, having the same culture and bearing same names doesn't make a particular group a member of a larger ethnicity if the group is not in their region

Mraphel:
You're wrong.
Ilorin Yoruba is more Yoruba compared to the Southwest counterpart.
Go to Ilorin, the official language is Yoruba, if you cannot speak it you will be lost.
E karo is in Ilorin. Have once lived there

You are not far from the truth but you cannot be totally lost if you can speak hausa or Nupe.
One thing I noticed about Kwara yorubas is that even though it appears as if they lost everything yoruba, they don't look like people that are ready to lose their yoruba language,. Those guys can customize every language to yoruba, including some of their Arabic names like Sadiq to sadiku, ramatu and so on

Pimpmaride:
Shut up bro.. U witness it within two guys..

I am telling u dt u schooled in the north where we have associations..
Kwara is under Yoruba... They do every things and they under the umbrella of yorubas..

Do u know how many I have as frnds in my northern school.. Stop spewing nonsense

You witnessed ordinary school association and you are throwing insults in what is supposed to be a civilized discussion. Don't carry this your mentality to kwara because you will be shocked. Kwara yorubas respect their islamic religion above anything else and they have undiluted loyalty to their emir who claims allegiance to the caliphate. Kwara is not all about yoruba anyway, they have indigenous Nupe and settled fulani

J111333:
I've bookmarked this your comment for future reference.
Very soon, the same yorubas in this forum will attack some Igbo speaking folks in Rivers, Delta and Akwaibom states for wanting to be regarded as Igbos.

This thread is exposing the true colour of the chameleons

Pimpmaride:
Ipobs and lie.. Never seen any kwaran in my life associate with Hausa than yorubas..

Even in my school in the north, they are under Yoruba student group.

Stop lying aunty ipob

He is not lying, I've witnessed it first hand between a Yoruba from Kwara and another yoruba from South West, although the western yoruba guy baptised him that day. Guy you really need to travel to that Kwara and see things for yourself before assuming. Kwara is ruled by fulani using Nupe as their side kick

With the way things are in Nigeria, sometimes I ask my "between Igbo and Yoruba who lost the Civil War?". Atleast Ndigbo managed to retain 70 percent of their territory and 25 percent govern where they found themselves, eg Delta and Rivers. With western Igbos still pushing for Anioma state.
Imagine, you didn't participate in the Civil War and your ethnicity was torn into pieces with state creation when you are supposed to be at the helm of the affairs of the nation with the supposed Victors.
For those thinking that yoruba people in Ilorin will ever be part of yoruba nation again, just leave your house, travel to kwara state and see for yourself.
The okun people of kogi have a bigger chance of making it to the yoruba nation than kwara yorubas

wizzakosh:
Hahaha, intellect indeed.


I am sure you have mentioned Tinubu more than you mentioned your popman name today o hahahahaha.

I've never typed that name here and I don't intend to do for now. Everybody can't be mad at the same time

Do you guys think that the yorubas castigating and making derogatory remarks on the Igbos Biafra struggle is because they want you to stay with them? If you think so then you are a novice in Human psychology and behavior. The yorubas are sub consciously behaving like that because they don't like the pace at which the break up is going. Since they can't champion one they make those infuriating comments is to provoke and make Ndigbo to push for the break up at a faster rate because they believe that once the Igbos go, they will follow suit just like the dissolution of Soviet Union. They even believe that in any case of referendum, it will be nationwide for all parties, that is why they rushed to register their Odua nation with Biafra at UNPO.
From my years of studying human behavior I'll say "if someone wants to stop doing something he ignores you, if he wants you to continue, he tries to stop you but if he wants you to go at a faster rate, he attacks your ego" women are masters of the last one. Now ask yourself, which of these does the yoruba fall under. I'll say the last one

wizzakosh:
So you know about obsession when you and your elders can't stop talking about Tinubu, yorubas and Yoruba land entirely Hahahaha.

I can't bet that you know all the names of Yoruba governors, while I only know that of anambra.

Knowing the name of Nigerian governors has to do with intellect and awareness not obsession

gwafaeziokwu:
Our culture might make a Fulani alliance impossible. We call abomination by its name in Igboland and Fulani and all they represent is a typical example. So no deal.

We won't even bother dragging Lagos with them. All the loudmouths should do the needful

We are interested in securing igboland for future generations to live in separate nation not populated by unrepentant barbarians.

Nna, the alliance I am talking about is not that kind of brotherly one. The fulani know that ala igbo is a nọ go area for them and they don't care if they secede or not, their fear is yoruba land and Niger Delta.
Nwanne at times you strike deal with your worst enemy if it will benefit you just like the Romans did with the Goths or the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan did with Israel. Ndigbo should try to be selfish for once and offer never to intrude on fulani affairs on ijaw land, Yoruba and middle belt and watch secession go easily.
What do you think prompted fulani controlled Nigeria to enter fully in the last civil war? It was the Igbos dream of liberating Yorubaland. The fulani cared less when Ndigbo liberated mid west because it has nothing to offer them unlike now ijaw has oil. So I'll say it is better to sacrifice ijaws, ikwerre and yoruba for the greater good

wizzakosh:
Hahahahaha, we don't do segregation here.

You people can segregate for Africa. You segregate to the point that your brother n sister that supposed to marry ended their lives with sniper Hahaha.

To crown what you said, I will tell you each of those your babaric act.

The thing now is that, just let me know the one you belong to among them . Hahahahaha, if I didn't know anything apart from my state and Lagos, how come I know about the caste in your land ,e shock you .

This is exactly what I am saying. The obsession is glaring, you can even list the name of some Igbo clans and attempt the history of some but can barely do the same for your ethnic group

gwafaeziokwu:


Don't worry nwanne m, that is what we are doing at the moment. This video clip is about Chief Uwazuruike doing his own thing

Like you rightly stated, Ndigbo is sitting this one out. The middle belt should sort themselves out with the north. When they are done we will then consider our alliances. They are yet to make any strong move. All we have been hearing is talk and more talk. Igbos are wise , no body can use our head to break coconut.

Your head dey there. Empires are not built on sympathy and egalitarianism. Ndigbo should have open mind on whom we extend our arm to this time around. Based on my travels and interactions with notable people from all regions, I'll say that Ndigbo should consider an alliance with the fulani because the fulani are scared of losing their only source of economic prospect in case of referendum which is Lagos.
Their fear is that if Ndigbo succeed in getting this referendum it will expose the ethnic distrust and conflicting ideologies of Nigeria which will lead to peaceful secession of more ethnic groups, especially the yorubas and they will rather fight to death than allow yoruba break free from them. So a deal with the fulani to never intrude in their hegemony on the yorubas, ijaws and middle belt should be what Ndigbo should attempt proposing.
The Fulani already know that Ndigbo is a thorn in their flesh and any attempt to tie them down further will lead to more destruction unlike some people that are hoping to gain from the Igbos bravery. As it stands now, Nigeria herself knows that the forced attachment of Igbo to Nigeria is long overdue and very soon it is either the Igbos leave in peace or in pieces

wizzakosh:
Really? So what is responsible for the killings going on in the east as well as segregation of OSU, Ohu, ume, diala and oru in Igboland

See how easy it is for him to list "Igbo caste" but barely knows a thing about yoruba apart from his state of origin and Lagos. This guy can list up to 40 Igbo towns without cyber aid but can barely list 20 yoruba towns apart from those in his state of origin

Ndigbo should desist from fruitless and backstabbing alliance.
Remember our alliance with our so called brothers ikwerre and how it ended with abandoned properties, ethnic denial and 70 years of insult?
A wise man never repeats the same mistake twice. We should try and be like Switzerland on this and allow middle belt and their former allies the fulani to sort things out. Maybe after they are through killing themselves, we will form alliance with the last man standing.
Let's be wise this time and avoid being caught in the middle because if we MUMU, last last middle belt and fulani go use us settle their matter

If you read through the comments on "Gana's" execution you'll realize how divided Nigeria's major three ethnic groups are based on ideology and reasoning.
If you see a comment castigating the government for killing an unarmed surrendered individual that person is likely (98%) an Igbo.
If you see a comment that celebrates the killing and still tag "kill them all", that person is most likely (95%) Yoruba.
If you see comments (which are probably few here) defending the soldiers and accusing Gana of being behind the killings attributed to herdsmen, the person is very likely (99%) Hausa-Fulani

I wonder how you other Africans and some ignorant Nigerians think that people that have time to clothe their ancient sculptures will be so daft to go naked.
The first picture is Ikenga from Igbo.
The second is Oba from Ife, Yoruba.
The third is from Bini.
Mind you, these sculptures are centuries before contact with the white.

WannaHowzit:
Weren't you naked anyway before the Arabs clothed you?

Read about Nigerian ethnicities, what you posted there is just two out of the major 3 in 250+.
Mind you kano has been a major textile industry in the ancient times before the Dutch (Boers) came and tied those animal skins around your ancestors waists

This us by far the most reasonable and unbiased post I've seen on nairaland

Attack without meeting the person physically, is that one an attack?
Instead of these MUMU people to be disturbing us on social media and papers they should contribute money and fly prof. Ishaq Akintola to the United States to attack president Trump physically or verbally.
I can't predict the outcome but I know one thing for sure, flying Ishaq Akintola to the US to attack Trump will relieve Yoruba Nation and Nigeria at large.
By the way WTF is that guy wearing on his head?

zhike:
South African president wears South African cloth while Nigerian president wears Arab cloth

LOL, I'll rather go naked than wear this.
This your post is too funny

You wrote a fascinating article to prove awolowos innocence and demonize Ndigbo and the great Zik Africa. But what I picked from your article is an Awolowo of a man who introduced ethnocentric politics and nepotism in the name of forming alliance. Why would celebrate appointing sensitive posts to allied politicians with no regards to meritocracy.
There is a popular say amongst the yorubas that "Igbo no Sabi politics" but your article says otherwise, it even portrays the Igbos as master planners in politics. To you people the Igbo man is everything. I don't know why you guys attribute the power of almighty to us because it is only the almighty can be everything at the same time.

Sometimes I just look at you yorubas and shake my head.
Yesterday one of your brother was claiming that Zik said he and Onitsha are Bini but today you wrote a long epistle of how Zik was fighting for Igbo over lordship on yorubas to the extent he planned on putting an Igbo king on yorubas when the Oba of Bini is nearer. According to you, "Zik and his Igbo kinsmen".
Chai I've never seen such dynamic chameleons.

GarangDeMabior:
Umu Otu please the library is here, make una go read.

LOL, ụmụ iyoo ana agukwanụ akwụkwọ?
Anyways, Igbo AMAKA there!

Kudos!
It's high time we started taking our lives back from these religionists.
Well, thanks to the Churchists for the good things they have contributed to us

I thought things like these are reserved for South East.
May the victims find the courage to bear their loss
