Yorubas seem to be so obsessed with Buhari for choosing theirs as running mate.
I wouldn't blame them because Fulanis most especially have always treated them as if all of them were leprous. Hausa-Fulani wouldn't want anything to do with them. In the first republic, Tafawa Belewa and Sadauna of Sokoto of NPC despiced them so much that they wouldn't want anything with them that they pleaded with an Igbo party NCNC headed by Azikiwe to form government with them.
In 2nd republic, Shagari a Fulani man in 1979 chosed Alex Ekwueme to be his vice.
Yaradua understanding Ebele Jonathan was genetically Igbo chosed him as vice. And now that Buhari after wallowing in desert (wilderness) for decades managed them and now a real hausa-Fulani man Atiku came again with Peter Obi u want them to accept that.
For them it doesnt matter where Buhari is taking the country, for he was d only Hausa Fulani that managed to accept them.
Fulanis threw Abiola into prison and killed him and wanted to kill Obasanjo who was saved by Igbo people.
In 1993, Igbos massively voted for Moshood Abiola, likewise in 1999 and 2003. This at the detriment of their renowned son Chukwuemeka Ojukwu who contested for the office of the presidency in 2003.
Have Yoruba at any moment of Nigerian history ever reciprocated such gesture and benevolence
oyin44: Among the south west ..democracy was not an imported political idea or practice..it had been the food with which they were nurtured..even from their mother womb....it could hardly be overstressed that SW were highly sophisticated in politics..different from others.... SW had a mindset in any cuming election..Buhari regime had been a power sharing... mostly by the Yorubas..
inoki247: some people neva satisfy one woman without d use of Alomo, Agbara, ogidiga, Tramadoll, buruntashi, aw e come dey satisfy all diz plenty wife abi d Ancestors dey come du some of dem ni
Checking South eastern voting history, our Igbo brethren will willingly vote osinbajo if he were to declare for presidency.
Igbos voted massively for Obasanjo both in 1999 and 2003. When Ojukwu contested for presidency in 2003 most Igbos still voted for Obasanjo because they knew Ojukwu had lesser chance to make it.
Igbos massively voted for Yaradua and then Jonathan.
We Yorubas are the ones been unnecessarily fearful of Igbos. Forget what less than 1 percent of Igbos are typing on social media that does not in the least reflect the mind of the Igboman.
Igbos are highly liberal and democratically minded
We wil get this country working, where there wil be equal opportunity for everyone not minding the religion, ethnicity u belong,. A country where merit and competence wil decide opportunity one gets, where professionalism respected.
The truth about those Yorubas rooting on social media for Buhari are not true voters, most don't have PVC. The real Yoruba voters have certainly decided and u wil be shocked at d vote margin Atiku wil eventually get in the southwest
The astuteness of Yoruba politics can never be overemphasized and they are always at the forefront of history when its been made.
In 2011 we voted Gej and when its clear he is not performing we voted against and was shown the way out. and that seem that who ever we decide to align with wil certainly be the choosing one.
In the minds of many Yorubas there is this agitation for an alternative candidate other than Atiku but most unfortunately there is none.
Buhari has increasingly made himself highly unpopular, his almost nonchallant attitude to grave issues tearing the polity apart and we are faced with two unfortunate choices to which we must chose one.
Oshigun: Have you been reading NL for the past few weeks? If your people are not pleading for Tinubu to work for the doomed Atiku and Obigotry project they are making fake overtures to the Yorubas with pretend humility and subtle begging. Lame bro. Really lame.
You are clearly pathetic. So for ur mind u represent the mind of Yorubas
Contrary to what our Igbo brothers are thinking, Yorubas don't vote out of sentiment.. Most Yorubas are all about good governance.
In 2015 it was clear that GEJ was running the country aground and there was clear need for change in stewardship and we Yorubas saw it. We thought Buhari had plan, but after 3yrs we are still waiting to see any glimpse of change. Its clear APC werent prepared for what they ventured into and believe u me we Yorubas will be part of those that wil change the change.
It's true most Yorubas dont trust Atiku but there is no other clear alternative. Come 2019 there no doubt Atiku will win in the southwest
gidgiddy: Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu, has predicted that the secessionist group will be worse than Boko Haram terrorists if he is killed.
Kanu, who resurfaced in Jerusalem, Israel on 19 October after the military invasion of his community in Abia state, made this statement in a two-and-half-hour worldwide broadcast via radio Biafra from his base in Israel.
Stating that Boko Haram picked up arms after its leader, Mohammed Yusuf and some members of the group were killed, Kanu said members of the IPOB would have done worse if he had been killed last year January when the army attacked his community.
Making reference to the recent attack carried out on a military base in Metele, a remote village near the Nigerian border with Niger by Boko Haram terrorists, Kanu said: “I take no delight in Boko Haram killing anybody but there is something I must tell the whole world this evening that some of you don’t know.
Speaking further, the IPOB leader said: “Boko Haram was like IPOB before. Do you know that? They were peaceful agitating for an Islamic state in the northeast, understand this very well. I don’t know who feed foreign governments their news, I don’t know what the ambassadors are doing in Nigeria because they lied to their government I’m sorry to say this, most ambassadors in Nigeria lied to their host governments.
“Do you know that Boko Haram was peaceful? They won’t tell you that. Boko Haram didn’t just wake up one morning and become a terrorist group, something caused it to happen and that is the same thing they tried to do to me. The day they came to my house, I can assure you had they killed me Nnia Nwodo and his family will be dead by now the same thing with every governor in the southeast and they know this very well.
“Had they succeeded in killing me on the 14th of September, what do you think IPOB will do? Do you think IPOB will fold their hands and just be watching you? No, they will come after Nigeria in a very grand style, I assure you, worse than Boko Haram.
“You have people all over the world say that Boko Haram is this and that, it’s a lie, it was the Nigerian government that made Boko Haram metamorphose from a peaceful group agitating for a Sharia state in the northeast to a terrorist group, it is the fault of Nigeria. That is the fact of life.
“Nigeria out of their stupidity and wickedness created Boko Haram. Do you know how Boko Haram came about? They killed Mohammed Yusuf. Mohammed Yusuf was the leader of Boko Haram. They killed him. What did he do? He said he wants a referendum in the northeast so that people can follow Sharia and that is their business.
“They never meant to pick up arms for one day, it was when the Nigerian police and the army went to Maiduguri, killed Yusuf and started killing people indiscriminately that was when they picked up arms, so tomorrow they will start killing IPOB, any day we say no and we pick up arms they will say we are a terrorist group,” the pro-Biafra activist added.
May be those abakilikii and wawa pigs would have. Anambra peeps don't even remember u in dreams
buhariguy: Thief atiku plans is what buhari has be doing and it will be completed by 2020. For instance, Buhari has completed 3,000km of railway track and 3,000km of roads. And by 2020, it will be 7,000 km each. 2nd Niger bridge and mambila power is not in thief atiku plan and buhari will complete both project before 2020.
Although I will vote for Atiku, I still pray your dedication to actualization of Biafra never die. Because the Party in power does not determine if we are to keep agitating or if we should stop
You have a comprehension problem. But for more clarification, I meant that whether it is APC or PDP I will vote,none will stop us from agitating until we vote in the right government that will give us Referendum
I malu ihe my broda. We are all biafrans but we should be wise as we 're hoping for a better nation we shouldn't ignore d fact we re presently part of Nigeria whether we believe it or not. So d best thing is to participate actively in d coming election to vote out this repulsive apc govt

NLandIsHypocrit: The freedom of Biafra can never be world wildly hilarious when it finally becomes a reality without the stiff oppositions from hungry and dafty saboteurs like you, but one thing I want to guarantee you this night, unless maybe you repent on time before the restoration of Biafra, there will be no evil people of your such in Holy land of Biafra, all of you will die at the emergence of Biafra, since you forbid good, truth and justice, it will never be your potion.
U are obviously a wasted sperm. For d fact u can read what I typed and then type urs does not qualify u, intelligent. Am done arguing with ur likes
Ifiokumo: I’ll do my best to not abuse you because I know someone else put you up to this.
It’s good that not all Black people in the Nigger Area are daft, nor suffer from what the Permanent Secretary in Health Ministry recently said (40+plus million having mental health issue).
Voting does not and has not ever solved anything for you or the British manufactured Nigger Area.
Vote for Atiku is a vote for Buhari and a vote for Buhari is a vote for Atiku
WHY?
Because they work for the same team, as does PDP/APC and all “Nigerian” registered parties.....
The sooner you think critically the better, or else you’ll end up with all your bribe in London hospital wearing diapers like a common pikin...
