They are the one that help Yoruba develop yorubaland but they cry about marginalization and neglect in Iboland.

when they want to develop other people's land government does not marginalize them but when they want to develop their own land that is when government marginalizes them

Jaideyone:
yeah and the coup plotters killed people from other regions and left south east leaders untouched.

that's a detribalised coup right there

I am still enjoying my Christmas, I don't have time for long article.

I stumbled upon the quoted this morning, so this short piece is an unedited response to that. When time permits, I shall run a full analysis.


The problem with some Yorubas is nothing but Shallowness. To them Nigeria started in 1999, fourth republic. But if you ask them where SW was before the fourth republic most of them will open their mouth staring at you.

Pre Republican era
First and only Governor General (Nnamdi Azikiwe)
First Speaker (Jaja Nwachukwu, Present day, Abia)
First President of the Senate (Nnamdi Azikiwe)

First Republic
First President (Nnamdi Azikiwe)
First President of the Senate (Nwafor Orizu)
First Acting President (Nwafor Orizu)
First Foreign Minister (Jaja Nwachukwu)
First GOC, NA (Aguiyi Ironsi)

Military Era
First Military Head of State (Aguiyi Ironsi)

Second Republic
First Vice President (Alex Ekwueme)
First Speaker (Ume Ezeoke)

Third Republic
We already know what happened here.

Abiola a wealthy Yoruba Muslim ran for President on the platform of SDP. He won a decisive victory to become the first and only Southerner to defeat a Northern overwhelming in the North.

Second republic Governors took office on January, 1993, while IBB postponed the Presidential election to June 12. Which he eventually won decisively.

According to New York Times (1993) "Many Yoruba have long resented the domination of Nigeria's political life by the mostly northern Hausa-Falani ethnic group, and were ecstatic when one of their own, Mr. Abiola, appeared to have won the recent balloting," but 11 days later, he annulled the election.

11 days again, on July 4, 1993, General Babangida took Chief Abiola and family into confidence. He told them point blank, 'they' (North) will kill you (MKO) rather than allow you to become the elected President,
Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria'.

In 1994, he declared himself President and was imprisoned for 4 years in solitary confinement.

On the day was due to be released, on the 7th July 1998, he died of natural cause after agreeing to renounce his mandate upon learning that the world has abandoned him, telling him they won't recognize a 5 year old election.

The government of Ernest Shonekan that took over from IBB was dismantled within 3 months by the same power that doesn't want Abiola as President. Failing to consolidate his power within 3 months, his government was dismantled with just 40 soldiers.

Announcing his Cabinet list, Shonekan became the First Civilian Head of State to alienate Ndi Igbo from government, giving Ndi Igbo 4 out of 31 Cabinet appointments.

Senate President (NC)
Fourth Republic (First 8 years)
First President (SW)
First Vice President (NE)
First Senate President (SE)
First Speaker (NW)

Note: In the 4th Republic, the SW was just compensated with the Presidency because of the 3rd republic debacle.

To achieve this, all parties were directed to field only SW, because in a liberalized election, Obasanjo the anointed can not win the election. So 4th Republic Presidency is NOT an achievement for the SW, because their own preferred candidate, Olu Falae was roundly defeated, and forced into political irrelevance. In essence, greater Nigeria imposed Obj on the SW.

They were allowed to that position not as a result of political clout or sophistication, but as result of benevolence of Nigerians. In 2003, Obj had to beg Atiku, his subordinate in a kneeling position to allow him complete his term.

Fourth Republic (Second administration)
President (NW)
Vice President (SS)
Senate President (MB)
Speaker (SW)
Deputy Speaker (SE)
Deputy SP (SE)

Note: SW was kicked out of the House after the first tenure. They were not allowed to complete their zoned 8 years. Tambuwal took from Bankole.

Fourth Republic (third Administration)
President (SS)
Vice President (NW)
Senate President (MB)
Speaker (NW)
Deputy Speaker (SE)
Deputy SP (SE)

Fourth Republic (fourth Administration)
President (NW)
VP (SW)
Senate President (MB)
Speaker (NE)
Deputy SP (SE)
Deputy Speaker (SW)

Note: VP is the only achievement of SW in the fourth Republic, a position they got by the benevolence and popularity of His Excellency, the President.

When they tested their political clout and sophistication at the national level outside the benevolence of Northern backed political clout, they were roundly defeated and political sophistication demystified during the tussle for the position of SP and Speaker.

The political sophistication of SE/SS got the SE the Deputy SP even though they don't truly deserve it. This means the North still prefer their age lond Political Cooperation with the East to their recent cooperation with the West, even though the East didn't help them achieve the Presidency.

Don't forget the 4th Republic is just 18 years. You don't expect all the 6 regions to produce President within that 18 years. 3 regions have done their part (SW ( SS (4) NW (6, remaining 2 years), 3 are yet to do theirs, hence power is going to NE unfailingly through Atiku. When time comes, nobody will stop Igbo Presidency. SS will as well complete the other 4 years when time comes.

When it comes to politics at National level, SW are just crawling. They can't beat SE political records or ever catch up with them.

The SW got the Presidency and Vice Presidency out of benevolence of people. The same way they love free owambe in real life. The only position they truly fought for President in 3rd Republic and Speaker in fourth Republic they were both disgraced out. While they were not even allowed to test the 3rd Republic Presidency, they were not allowed to complete their 8 years for speakership. Even the Military they got was out of necessity and Obj was pressured to return power to Civilian Government where a North-East cooperation got them the Vice President for a 2 terms.

leverage:
ok so why havent your slave masters organized the referendum or better still just grant our freedom?
cowards you know your zoogeria will enter the gutters without us that is why you are holding unto us so tightly
dirty afonjas

leverage:
if you are so sure we cant do without afonjaland, why dont you give us our freedom then? mtchew you cannot contest in our state because your empty afonja heads are not needed here go back to your deteriorating land and continue to owe your civil servants salary.

zombieTRACKER:
you are highly welcomed to contest for any political post in the east or anywhere in Nigeria
it's not an anomaly

But I know why you opened the thread
just drum it into your ears that an Igbo man is the next governor of Lagos State after Ambodes second tenure

there is nothing any one can do to stop it

leverage:
!diot let us get our freedom first we will see whether you afonjas will see the promiseland, even getting american visa wont be as difficult

ANOWEDGREAT:
Don't mind them the Yorubas think they can eat their cake and have it back again. They have frustrated the efforts of the ss and se regions from booming economically and their greedy minds didn't tell them of the strain this will have on the infrastructures of Lagos and the rest of the SW due to mass exodus of pple.
How can only the Lagos seaport be the only port that is functioning in Nigeria amongst numerous ports in the ss and se regions? They haven't seen anything yet in a couple of years from now an Igbo man will be elected as governor of Lagos and Ogun states.

nku5:
You can't do ANYTHING about Igbos coming to SW to do their business. NOT A THING...so far you guys are sharing green passport with us. When una carry Nnamdi Kanu/IPOB matter for head just to impress northerners una no soji

Stingman:
...and Burutai and python dance? Was Biafra campaign done in the SW or north?

nku5:
No other ethnic group in Nigeria attacked Nnamdi Kanu's struggle like yorubas. Try harder

Stingman:
..another question.

Will the Yorubas leave the Biafrans alone as they try to leave on their own?

Will they keep their mouth shut and not shouting about Burutai and his python dance?

Stingman:
The question again, in case you have derailed...

Why don't you want out and rule yourselves like your cousins in Port Novo? Remember they have light and not queueing for fuel every Christmas...Why do you love one Nigeria...the way it has been? That is the question.

Stingman:
Leave that to them. They want out despite all these...but you would not hear of it....why.

Dindondin:
Pls attack the northerners too o.
If not that your head has been reconfigured wrongly, you ll know that Yorubas ain't your enemies but friends. Call them back bitters, it's a compliment.
Has Yorubas ever cried that Igbos, Hausa Fulanis or any region are their problem?
We handle our matters in a civil way. We don't go haywire like Nnamdi Kanu or Boko Haram or any savage way.
We v elders, the elders talked in defense.
But what of SS and SE, they v Ekweremadu, Wike, GEJ, Amaechi n Co. All you scream is Yoruba this, Yoruba that!
Why are you so bittered? Can't you seek a friendly alliance with Yorubas?

Na u sabi I don speak my mind

new2020:
The Truth will shock you. Afonjas honestly don't like One Nigeria but at the same time they against Igbo leaving. The biggest reason they support One Nigeria is fear and envy that Igbo will be successful if they are left to be alone. They will rather suffer under One Nigeria than to see any good come out of Biafraa. Igbo leaving will expose them in the eyes of the world as a monumental fraud because they have used propaganda for decades to pad themselves. As one Nairalander said...Afonjas are worst than Alamajiris. Wicked things...naturally wicked!

leverage:
They means the afonjas and their slave masters and yoruba man cannot rule igbo land cos we have seen their underdeveloped states and do not want their 10kobo input

Dindondin:
Yorubas developed Benin Republic. Major towns there are occupied by Yorubas of Ajase, Popo & Sabe. These are Yoruba indigenes from Oduduwa.



As for Southwest and North are developing at the detriment of other regions, it's a fallacy. Share your points

yanshDoctor:
benin republic has the same resources like yoruba states. natural deep seaport and international airport, including natural minaral. why they are poor today is the same reason south west will be poor if Nigeria is dissolved.

leverage:
Shebi they claim Lagos is no mans land and they claim our oil is for everybody so why can't an igbo man be gov of Lagos state? No be say we even want sef

leverage:
Help me ask them o that's how one mumu was saying on one thread that he wants yoruba man to rule anambra for what?

Stingman:
You needed to start this response with Yoruba obsession with one Nigeria.....

yanshDoctor:
all companies site their headquarter their. all imported items from other states pass through lagos. international airport and the rest.

if all region because states and have sea port and international airport. slowly things will shift away from lagos.

freeze20:
Nope, you guys are still on it. I was on that thread, when one chronic Igbo hater "Alariwo" said it clearly that Innnoson is going down never to rise again. Such bile. I have been an observing on the sideline, but any visitor to such thread will quickly sense the hate coming from your tribe's angle.

adeolakemi:
op dogs will always be dogs Igbo's are great why concern yourself with fools and Imbeciles ,low life's and ingrates I have since switched to my mum's people BLESS BE THE GREAT TRIBE IGBO

Until you get your oduduwa republic, I won't take you jokers seriously.

Ndigbo abeg fire on.

SouthEastFacts:
Oga, you are just been paranoid. we are all Nigerians. We have right to belong to any group.

We are not creating any rule, we are only strengthening to take full advantage of anything this country can offer.

Over 50% of SW population are non-indigenes and Ndi Igbo are only uniting them.
