We don't care Yoruba Op. Face your tribe

UdechiHD:
Former Senate President under Shagari!
His enthronement to the number 3 position was one of the exploits of the Igbo when in authority. An Ogoja minority got the number 3 seat in government position.

VP Alex Ekwueme and others ensured that the whole south got their due. But the reverse is the case under Yoruba headship. If it doesn’t go to Fulani, the remaining crumbs is thrown to the SW.

Southerners should compare and contrast.

South under Igbo leadership

Below were the positions the south got under Igbo leadership (1979 - 1988)

No. 2,3,4 and 5


1. President - NW - Shehu Shagari
2. VP - SE - Alex Ekwueme
3. Senate President - SS - Joseph Wayas
4. Speaker - SE - Edwin Umezuoke (NPN/NPP Alliance)
5. CJN - SW - Justice Atanda Fatai William

South under Yoruba leadership - (2015 - 2023)

1. President - NW - Muhammadu Buhari
2. VP - SW - Osibanjo
3. Senate President - NC/NE - Saraki/Lawan
4. Speaker - NE/SW - Dogara/Gbajabiamila
5. CJN - SS/NW - Onnoghen/Muhammed

NB: Under the Igbo headship, the south took part in government decisions and the country were united and prospered. No official among the top 5 were undemocratically removed as Buhari did to Onnoghen etc. However, under the Yoruba’s the south are treated like second class citizens.

Permit me to share

Ijaw struggle hinged on enriching the politicians and cultist, while the ordinary man is left with crumbs. But when you give them the opportunity, they won't utilize it. GEJ spent 6 good years as President and his impact was barely felt by the Niger Delta.

Wake me up when these people are serious!

What’s the fuss with both of you, Udechi and Idenna.

Kamani8:
Why replying the yoruba miscreant.

They always try to pitch igbos against the north in their desperado for presidency.

Let him compare yoruba and SE. Wetin carry north enter the matter?

Is he a Yoruba? I taught the thread is clean. No bad pics whatsoever.

I’m not surprised OP. The pictures below are testament to the Fulani archaic lifestyle.

macIB:
You are very right. Infact, Alagba was a babalawo who emigrated from ilesa to Lagos before he married Erelu kuti.

You’re right. Alagba is from Onigbongbo compound in Ilesa. He trekked from Ilesa to Lagos lagoon and was ferried by the Awori fishermen for the sole purpose of marring Erelu Kuti.

He really tried, because as at then, they were no capable sons of Eko fit enough to marry the the last Benin regent and the need to inform Osun Yoruba’s for help.

helinues:
And all are Yoruba names..

Then who are those claiming Lagos is no man's land when none of their grandfathers ever attained the position?

Yoruba names but a strong and verifiable Benin origin.
Oba Akiolu and his Eko chief wouldn’t mind throwing any indignant Yoruba to the lagoon for trying to change their history.

Stop lying. SL Ikoku was not imprisoned with AWO. He ran away to Ghana.

Enahoro did not support Awo’s presidential bid in 1979. He didn’t even join UPN. If he had joined UPN, he would have been elected the governor of Bendel state instead of Ambrose Alli.

How would you expect SL Ikoku and Enahoro to stand with UPN when it was a gathering of tribalistic Yoruba’s. What did they gain supporting Awo? If not for the military coup Enahoro would have ended his youthful years in prison.
The notable thing SL Ikoku gained from supporting the Yoruba’s was a street named after him in GRA Ikeja. How would you feel if you were in the shoes of SL Ikoku and Enahoro.

seunmsg:
Stop revising history. Awolowo supported SL Ikoku with everything he had. He defeated his father to emerge as the only AG member in the eastern house of assembly because of Awolowo’s support. After that, Awolowo sacked Ayo Rosiji as the party’s Secretary General and replaced him with Ikoku. That decision was why Akintola left the Jos convention of 1962 angrily and everything broke down between him and Awo.

Your assertion that Ikoku went to prison with Awo is false. When Awo was arrested, Ikoku ran away to Ghana. He was in Ghana till the military took over. He never went to prison.

In 1979, did he join Awo’s UPN? Did he support Awolowo’s presidential campaign? Did he betray Awo or not?

He did not betray Awolowo. SL Ikoku was sentence to prison with Awo but as you said fled to Ghana. And for your information, AG didn’t win the Arochukwu federal election because of an unknown Awo in the east, it was solely by the political Mavericks of a young SL Ikokwu who emerged a strong opposition to the NCNC in the eastern house.
Awo saw in SL Ikokwu a trusted ally! He saw similar traits in Enahoro and had to make these guys his eyes and ears. And these men repaid the faith by sticking their necks for him.

seunmsg:
That was why I concluded that Akintola was right. People like Enahoro, J.S. Tarka, S.L. Ikoku that instigated the AG crisis all betrayed Awo when it mattered most in 1979.

Awo had the right ideas about governance but his politics was something else. He should have listened to Akintola’s advice and forged a good relationship with the Hausa/Fulani political elites. The Igbos he was trying to win over never gave a shiit about him.

Nonsense, yet the same Enahoro and SL Ikokwu we’re sentenced to prison with Awolowo for treason, while the so called Akintola and his Yoruba betrayers supported the north into incarcerating their own.

seunmsg:
[s]What concrete facts are you talking about?

Awolowo contested the same election with an Igbo running mate so what’s your point? Did Igbos vote for the Awolowo/Umeadi ticket? Did Azikiwe contest with a Yoruba running mate?

Awolowo wanted the alliance more than anybody but Zik never wanted it out of jealousy. He preferred Shagari to win the election and acted as a spoiler for Awolowo. Even at that, Awolowo still demonstrated his willingness to work with Igbos by choosing a running mate from the south east despite protest from so many of his party members. At the end of the day, Igbos opted to vote for Shagari. After the election, they even formed a government of national unity with Shagari’s NPN similar to the NPC/NCNC alliance of the first republic[/s].

Lies! Zik’s NPP was alone. And Igbos didn’t vote for Shagari’s NPN. NPN was dominant in the SS states and north, while NPP won Imo, Anambra and Plateau states.
The SS didn’t even vote Zik. The SW are the only tribalistic tribe who always vote theirs while push the buck on others.

Guy Ikokwu is a pure Awoist. This was a man who was at loggerhead with his father Alvan Ikokwu, was a thorn to even Azikiwe himself and was even sentenced with Awolowo to prison for treason.

Today the Yoruba’s don’t even mention his sacrifices for their tribalistic struggle. The same way they cornered the NADECO struggle and made it a post Yoruba nationalism.
Guy Ikokwu must be reeling in pains now for fighting a foolish agenda with the Yoruba’s. Any non-Yoruba fighting for the SW political struggle ends up being forgotten and disgraced. Ask the late Nwankwo and Enahoro the NADECO leaders.

Be grateful for the amount you earned, while doing basically nothing. Some of you have been feeding on government money since the first batch and have refused to relinquish that position for recent unemployed graduates.

If the government is not callous, the N-Power idea should be a 3 years intake thing where new Graduates are given an opportunity to benefit too. But that’s not what it is.

I'm not from there but I'm partly Rivers. You are funny

Yeah, lovely. So you mind we make things happen. From chatting and likely Iku aka n uzo thins

They mustn’t get away with it. Justice must be served.

Chiwude, you have been busted. Swear for us or run away in shame. Lying old man. Tufia

I swear in the name of god Chino that I’m not god Chiwude and also in the name of god abagworo all from Igodo land that I’m E...a Lol!

chino11:
[s][/s]

Dumb come back. Swear with your life is you are not chiwude. You have nothing to lose

So because I admire your enigma and decided to act like Chino does that makes me Chino? And because I see Chiwude as an idol does that makes me Chiwude.
Take a look at my monicker and you’ll see the traits of Chino, that shows your bad influence. But be rest assured that I’m a confirm Okwuzi boy, a gallant Rivers man and an agile Niger-Deltan with an Igbo identity. That’s all I can tell you.

Oyindidi:

I’ve followed you. Something tells me you’re from Onelga. But do you by chance stay in P/H? Can we meet or chat on WhatsApp? I actually live and work in Lagos.

Chiwude, melu.onwe gi ebele.

Now swear with your life that you are not chiwude. Old fool

For the last time I’m not Chiwude. And let me ask you a question? Would Chiwude stoop so low by arguing foolishly with you? You know him quite well that he’s not in the league of Abagworo. So why still in doubt.
Or is hallucinations now a lifestyle of the king schemer.

chino11:
When I started this thread, I played cool, probably Chiwude thought I have changed from whom I used to be in the past. Then he decided to try his chances. Now he got burnt and started covering up. Chiwude I am still the never changing chino you used to know.

I can never lace Chiwude’s shoes in nairaland. Yes, I may have cloned his moniker once. But I respect him a lot. How may times would I tell you that I’m not Chiwude. Or do you want me to prove that to you by speaking my dialect?

Oyindidi:
I'm not

OK, the guy is a troll.

I believe he’s a nice guy in real life. His legend is extraordinary. I would love to meet him someday. The only nairalander that causes fear and rains thunders with his over 50 monikers.

Oyindidi:
Men behaving like women make una post pictures

Sorry, I’m actually doing to him what he used to do to others. Let’s say, I learnt some bad things from him and this moniker is an example.
To be fair with you I admire the dude a lot. Himself, Abagworo and the Chiwude he thinks I’m.
Sorry, are you by chance from Onelga? I’m a cool guy in reality. I’m from Okwuzi that why I’m asking.

Oyindidi:
See as them dey fight like kids

I’m really enjoying my time. If anyone can tell me that Chino can be demystified in one moment, I’ll never have believed it.
That guy is a nairaland living legend.

[s]See pain and tears Hahahaha

Chiwude when shall you show your poverty inflicted self for once?

Chiwude the worst is that even at your old age you are neither married nor planning to marry because you are a gay. Hahahaha

Chiwude, you are so poor that my phone will take you a whole year of hard labour to buy.

Chiwude, very soon you shall be thrown out of umunna meeting because you are useless to yourself and your umunna.

Chiwude it is not too late to change and live a better life. You cursed to the extent that all you do is to give people poison because of your frustration in life. I am not responsible for your frustration.

Chiwude, again stop wearing only nicker up and down, you are not the only poor man from orlu. Stop embarrassing orly.

Chiwude, I am waiting for your denial[/s]

Lol!
