the moment nigeria transitiond to a democracy in the 2000s. a lot of tribes that had been silent became much more vocal.
the same will happen if we transition to a yoruba only nation

it is already happening with MURIC.

Nobody pays serious attention to MUMURIC in the south west. Since he's been making noise about almost all current Southwest governors being Christians, do you see anybody (both Christians and Muslims) paying him serous attention?

GloriousGbola:
this means nothing

it is the same way some nigerians will rejoice if they pulled a maduro on tinubu
some nigerians would rejoice if the coup had succeeded

as an adult in iran who has seen how regime change in iraq and syria worked out, i will be very afraid

all these countries sharing borders with Iran will also not be happy, because they will be the ones left with the humanitarian mess and destabilization after the US and Isreal declare victory

I hope you know the so called adults also participated in the protest against the Iranian regime just few weeks ago?

GloriousGbola:
the first thing that will happen in a yoruba only nation is a deepening of religious tensions
muslim vs christain - and the previously silent traditional worshipers will find their voice and start agitating for more recognition on the new national stage

You are saying the Yorubas that are the most tolerant as far as religion is concerned will suddenly start fighting in their new country because of religion?

No now. No dey talk just anything to win an argument.

Okpa are these not Iranian kids rejoicing over the US/Israeli attack?

"They hit them!! How do you feel?"

"AMAZING"

Look how happy they are.

i think it is relevant because it is what is happening in a microcosm

if you have internal divisions in what should be tribal homogeneous states ,
tagging of non indigenes of your tribe as criminals (what is the difference between that and anti immigrant rhetoric? )

i remember one time people from SE were always calling out and blaming Ngwa as criminals on political threads
it already shows you what will happen if you get a homogeneous nation state of just your tribe.

We are all equal, but some of us are more equal than others

The mistake u are making is trying to make the Igbos the main focus of this discussion.

I personally don't know much about the Igbos and won't choose to speak for them, but I can speak as a Yoruba person that if we have a Yoruba nation it will be easier to hold a Yoruba president in a Yoruba country accountable.

Nobody will call me Omo ale because I don't support Tinubu (a Yoruba president in a Yoruba country) because I can always support someone else who is equally Yoruba.

I am sure you will recall Peter obis documented bias towards catholics

i was looking for something else and i found this

You have veered off our discussion about countries who are homogenous in ethnicity and religion that are actually doing well as against Somalia and South Sudan examples you gave earlier.

I don't do this kind of discussions/arguments where u will abandon our subject matter and be talking about something that happened under the current Nigerian system.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Which other end game. Henceforth all other valuable Iranian political and military leadership will be moved to an underground secure Bunker. So far the first strike/assassination failed, Israel and US don lose the advantage that comes with a first surprise strike package.

The IRGC don already dey fire missiles, no time to check time. Iran have been preparing for a war against Israel/US for the past 47years. That's why they have proxy forces all around ISRAEL. FROM Hezbollah, Hamas, Yemeni Houthis

The problem is u are seeing things in just one dimension. Do you think Israel/America actually wants to assassinate the Iranian leader?

They obviously want to distabilize the country such that the citizens will be forced to take over the country themselves. Why do you think the son of the shah has been appearing on TV more frequently to do state address to the Iranian people?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Iran is like three times the size of Ukraine.
Have one of the hardest & complicated terrain for invasion force. So literally, a land invasion is out of the way.
What happened to Maduro is that the VP and his military sold him out. Obviously, if such option is available in Iran/IRGC the Israeli and American missiles and drones will not be striking Tehran today, and the IDF opening all bomb shelters in Israel. Also closing their airspace.

You no go like wait to see the end game instead of making ill thought speculations?

AnfieldFan:
You sef, you like trouble pass fight 😂😂

But the truth is, despite how you feel about their opinions, their is a validity to some of their takes...

What is the end goal here, Iran won't be occupied, and I don't think Trump and his Cabinet are competent enough to topple this regime and transition it properly...
This is just my initial thought though, they may have made preparations on who to install and how to run the government without a lot of conflicts within, we can't know until we get there...

P.S- I thought Venezuela would be a much more violent aftermath but it's been relatively normal, so Trump and Netanyahu might just surprise us again....

Let's just watch as things unfold sha

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Lol. Which epistle kwanu?
Last year na Israel first attack Iran unprovoked in the middle of negotiations. Iran returned the favour and Netanyahu started begging AMERICA to intervene & help defend Israel.
America joined the party but soon ran out of interceptor missiles & sued for peace.

So far so good, theirs no confirmed casualty from the political & military leadership. Let's wait for the fireworks from the IRGC.

Seankafor don miss dis one

Well, this one Trump has said it is a joint operation between US and Israel na, so there's no begging here. Seems the US and Israel are on the same page on this.

We will definitely get the body count figures sooner or later. Just that when the body count starts, we won't see the number of combatants Iran u alive but epistles upon epistles

They created a SEDC. Every member on the board is Igbo.

Gave them 140 billion for 2025.

Baba first wipe 450 million on conferences.

Then 2026 budget, has him setting aside billions on CCTV and Drones

When we divide Nigeria, na this kind person go still rule us.

You are not getting it. SEDC was created under the current Nigerian arrangement.

Most Igbos would not attack the members because they feel it is just Igbos eating their own portion of the national cake which Niger Deltans have been eating since creation of NDDC.

I'm saying if there's an Igbo state for example governing only Igbos, the people will drag their leaders and ask them pertinent questions on why their commonwealth is being eaten by the minority who are leaders. The people can go to any extra mile to bring the people responsible to justice.

izzou:
1. Your example is just the same with a state governor. His own state nko? Imagine Anambra state government sending 100m to the illegal Ex IGP son. His own people's money oh...No northerner or Yoruba man was involved in the deal.

2. Common people never even hold their governors accountable for anything. How dem wan take hold their national government accountable?

3. When you divide, then you will see Divide and Rule between Anambra and Imo, Ibadan and Oyo, Urhobo and Itsekiris. There's always something to be divided in Nigeria.

My point it, in our little circles, there's no accountability. It will be no different from what's happening now if we divide.

Well, we will never know what may be or not except the division truly happens.

AnfieldFan:
And so it begins.....

Give us update abeg

Update : I Don see am.

Na to wait for Lord Adam and Okpa's epistle upon epistle in the next few days 🤩

GloriousGbola:
Funny enough we have had enough civil wars in our past history as yorubas. Homogenity did not stop that.

Operation wetie was Yoruba on Yoruba violence within the south West.

That is the normal conquest war that happened pre-civilization which happened almost everywhere on the planet from Rome to Greece to Ile Ife to Dahomey to Mali empire etc.

I am talking about a real country/nation that is homogenous and living in peace in this civilization era.

Look at countries like Lesotho, Botswana, Swaziland, etc. These countries are homogenous ethnically and you barely hear anything about them being at each other's necks. As small as tbey may seem, tbey are ruling themselves and making their own little progress without the kind of suspicious hostility we have towards each other in a country like Nigeria.

If we go farther from Africa and look at other homogenous countries like Japan, Poland, etc they are all doing well for themselves...... That's why I say using just South Sudan and Somalia that are outliers in the data set doesn't cut it for me.

GloriousGbola:

South sudan
Somailia

Somalia is one religion, one race, one tribe. It is a bunch of clans fighting each other.

South Sudan is a product of Sudan's crisis what were u expecting before?

Are u saying for example a Yoruba nation will suddenly turn Somalia?

Why not use examples of other homogenous states that are living in peace? Why using just those two outliers?

izzou:
What exactly do you think will come out of your own nation?

The only difference between you and others is the fact that you haven't ruled like them. The SE has the exact same potent bad leaders like others.

See SEDC wey never reach one year, dem don blow 140 billion on nothing. If not for Tony Nwoye who called out some of the funny allocations for 2026, other senators don dey clap for am.

Bad leaders na collective issue, and dividing Nigeria will never make any region better, even the Almighty Lagos.

PS: I don't know if they are right or not, but people clamoring for Nigeria's division along the major ethnic lines are doing so because they have the following beliefs :

1. If for example there's an Igbo nation, a Yoruba nation, Hausa/Fulani nation, etc.... People assume that the declvelopment of these individual nations will be priority to the leaders of each nation instead of selfish motive of embezzling public funds before the country's treasury runs dry like most Nigeria's current leaders are doing.

2. Common people will pay more attention to holding their leaders accountable instead of defending them blindly against criticism from members of other tribes like we currently have in Nigeria. For example: some Yorubas today don't care whatever cilorruption that is going on in Tinubu's government, they are just satisfied a Yoruba man is ruling. They believe if the Hausa/Fulani stock could support Buhari for the full 8 years he was running Nigeria aground while his ministers like Malami, Hadi Sirika, etc plundered the country's resources ; then why can't we Yorubas do the same for Tinubu?

3. It will be easy for citizens of any of the new nation to bandy together to fight against any set of corrupt leaders. The idea of divide and rule which the current Nigerian leaders use that works effectively in a multi ethnic country like Nigeria won't work in the new country.

Spy360:
Do you agree with me that if a mob matches to Aso Rock today, that they will have international support?

No, I do not.

The mob's match will be framed by the government and pro-government forces as an attempt to forcefully take over government instead of waiting for election period to legally use votes to change government.

If you are a good student of history who can make deductions based on historical data, then you should know the march would never be successful ; the government just won't allow it to.

All the government need do is to recruit a pro-government set of protesters who will engage the anti-government protesters in an altercation that may possibly lead to breakdown of law & order. This will give security agents excuse to come in and disperse the crowd.

You should know that Nigeria is not as sophisticated as those countries you see protesters carrying out peaceful protests for weeks or even months. Na fellow Nigerians like me and you government go use scatter your lofty dream of a million march on Aso Rock

Spy360:
You're right about the hypocrisy of those people. What I am referring to is the sense in the speech.

Which sense? He's saying Tinubu is not the problem, but the weakness of the opposition is.

Shey Amaechi is not one of the people weakening the opposition? In fact, seeing Amaechi is the so called opposition is a turn off for some of us.

I believe this favorable Leverkusen fixture is one of the advantages of coming 1st in the group stage.

I guess Arteta knew what he was doing pushing the boys by starting the senior boys in most of our fixtures all through the group stage.

I just hope we will take advantage of the favorable fixture which is due to hardwork and advance to the semi final before we meet a seemingly tougher opponent.

izzou:
Amaechi dey blame opposition for morning

By evening, him region don form their own opposition out of the opposition

cc Blueraydick

Only God knows what goes on in that Amaechi's bald head sef.

So he actually believes he has what it takes to rule Nigeria after riding side by side with Buhari while he was running the country down and gifting Niger republic railway?..... Smh

So with this yeye endorsement now he believes he will lead the opposition to unseat Tinubu bá?

This one wey Don J dey in form like this..... 🤔

Elrufai that was rubbishing opposition in 2023, is the person that wants my vote...

I'll rather use my thumb for money rituals than thumbprint for these kind of people

Elrufai wey dey craze. If he had scaled through the ministerial clearance and screening , I'm sure he would've been writing articles upon articles to discredit the opposition members today.

Suddenly he knows about FG paying bandits (As if Buhari's government wasn't doing same). He suddenly cares about government using security agents to clamp down on opposition members and dissenting voices as if he didn't do exactly the same less than 4 years ago when he ruled like an Emperor over Kaduna state.

Anybody taking Elrufai serious does not deserve to be taken serious at all.

GloriousGbola:
fk you

imho that is just ameachi being polite after his failed bid

why was the man running on a track when he was chasing the nomination if not to cast shade on bulabu?


https://pmexpressng.com/asiwaju-tinubu-harps-on-unity-non-violence-in-rivers/

this was tinubu in rivers in 2023




where was amaechi ?

then again - in this same rally was alleged coup financier timprey silva - who would have had them all killed - fear ibime people - brutus has nothing on them

The fact is all of them were APC members who supported Tinubu's emergence as APC candidate and eventual winner of the 2023 presidential elections. Whatever happened afterwards among them (behind closed doors) is not our concern.
We saw all of them support Tinubu's presidency by their actions and inactions.

They can't come out now and be singing in a discordant tune that only resonates with their selfish interest. Abegi!

Shegzdave:
Baba said alot of people called his attention to it meaning he didn't even know how insensitive his statement was, this guy no well

Does that mean we should also not take all he said serious

The guy dey draw salary from APC government in Ondo state, what do u expect before?

izzou:


I thought it was only me. That has to be one of the most hypocritical, self centered, deceptive statement we have heard in ages.

Just 3 years ago, you fostered Tinubu on Nigerians. Today, you want to tell us you are for us, because bread no reach you.

Talking about hypocrisy, what exactly has he identified with as an opposition. We have seen Obi, Atiku lament since 2023. Where was Amaechi's voice then?

Nq people like this guy, Elrufai, Malami and the rest make me no support Obi for ADC. These people are just snakes waiting for Tinubu's missed call, before they turn on you.

Person go count Opposition, Amaechi go come out?

They just want to use Nigerians' head for selfish reasons.

If u talk now, some people will say u must align with them if u don't want Tinubu to continue as president in 2027; they will say if u don't align with these hypocrites then it means u are working for Tinubu's continuity. shior!

I detest people like Amaechi and ElRufai; anybody seeing them as the only way is just allowing himself to get fooled by these political gangsters for their selfish reasons.

Spy360:
Amaechi finish work here. Point blank.

https://dailypost.ng/2026/02/27/2027-tinubu-not-our-problem-amaechi/

I've just read through the article; Amaechi didn't make any sense at all.

Person wey serve under Buhari and kept making excuse for that government while he was running Nigeria to the ground is here talking about "Urgent Call to Save Nigeria’s Democracy". Did he not remember democracy while Buhari was ruling like an emperor?

Why does he suddenly care about democracy now if not for his own selfish reasons?

You see this Amaechi, El-Rufai, Malami, Lauretta Onochie and other Buharists now forming opposition figures, we no supposed dey hear their voice when Nigerians dey complain about this administration at all.

Who's this female named kingmitchy and why seyi emilokan and ooni of ife they invest in her

I don’t know o, just hearing about her now sef .

This is one of the reactions to Seyi’s insensitive comment which forced him to apologize . This is the kind of pain some of us have seen friends gone through, hence why we’ve speaking against insecurity challenge from Buhari’s era down to Tinubu’s .

How can anybody be saying because Buhari bought Tucano jets that means he tried his best to fight insecurity or how can someone say Tinubu is doing his best to solve insecurity problem when we read about kidnapping almost on a daily basis ?

"Seyi Law, I am a victim. My husband was kidn@pped and k!ll£d two years ago, I didn’t even get to enjoy my marriage. That statement you made was very cåreless.

Seyi Law has apologized for the insensitive statement he made at the podcast about Nigeria being safer than it was 10 years ago ; especially the part he said “Is it today they’ve been kidnapping people from their home? “

“I sincerely tender my apologies to anyone my statement may have hurt. I know it was very insensitive, even though that was not my intention.”
