YorubaHero12:
The demented tribe blaming Awolowo again. How a whole people could be so useless still remain a mystery to me.

The foolishness in Igbos should be a research for centuries to come.

Herbert Macaulay created a party and made Azikwe his vice. After his death Azikwe took over.

Azikwe in his stupidity saw Igbos as premier for the eastern region, Fulanis as premier for Northern region, but still chose to contest for the slot of premier for western region.

Ask yourself, if it were to be Awolowo that wanted to be the premier of eastern region will the Igbo accept?

The Saraduna already captured the greediness of the Igbos in full when he made the video that circulated some while ago, the Igbos are greedy and have a penchant to always dominate everywhere in any crook way they can use.

The Yorubas are to blame, had it been we have the same mindset as the north, Azikwe would have been murdered in cold blood the the very first time he brought up the idea to contest for the western premiership seat.

You dare not do that shit to the northerners.

Useless people

It beats my imagination they would even talk of tribalism. What audacity! Who gave all the votes to zik in the first place, were they not Yoruba people?
These people have a very strange way of thinking.

AntiBalaka:
Demand that the political alliance severed and all agreements entered so far abdicated.

From there anti Yoruba sentiments will be spread across the North.

Any attempt to resist Ruga colonies in the SW will buttress their growing anti Yoruba stance.

Zamfara Bandits will be deployed to force you to carve out Fulani colonies and from there the Yoruba will be reduced in their own land to second tier citizens, your Obas downgraded while the Fulani Amirs will be recognized as superior.

You want more?

Seriously, I am more than convinced that some of you are completely ignorant about what Yorubas stand for. What you wrote up there is a figment of your very fertile imagination.
Nigeria would have long ceased to be a country before any of those things could happen. You think we are ibos?

AntiBalaka:
If the Jan 15 coup is still considered an Igbo conspiracy then I see why this Sowore revolution is not a Yoruba revolution since all the revolutionary members are Yoruba.


If you like argue with Arewa youth that came up with that assertion.

It was a Yoruba revolution and what is shadowy northern group going to do about it?

gidgiddy:
If only Zik opposed a secession clause, why didn't it enter the constitution? How is it possible that only one man opposed a law that all others wanted but that law was not passed by the majority who wanted it? Dont you see that the story cannot be true?

Use your brain, Zik as always aligned with the North to make his own people vulnerable. What ibos could have gotten with the stroke of a pen they later tried to get with a gun.

Ikenna0b:
The bold is a huge FACT even non Igbos says the same thing regarding Awolowo. He brought in the tribal politics played in Niggeria politics. Ironically, each of their politicians still display that behavior in which they call "Awoism"

"In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude."

What goodwill are we talking about here? Like the north electing a Yoruba man in the north to be the premier or ibos electing a Yoruba in the east?
Even the NCNC which was later hijacked by ibos was formed by Herbert Macaulay a Yoruba man.
The people who voted for Zik in the western region who were they? Ibos or Hausas?
Both the North and the Ibos are always asking from others what they wouldn't part with themselves.

MelesZenawi:
Primordial indeed.

Unongo, lamido sanusi, igho and hosts of others said same thing about awolowo tribalism nature whenever he is failing or feels defeated, he weeps un tribal sentiments.

He is a failure.

I am not denying it happened but it was the same type of coalition that brought Balewa and Zik to power. Why then is the one in Western region tagged as tribal?

Adekamkpe23:
What is Radio Mille Colines?

Read about the Rwandan genocide.

MelesZenawi:
Time has passed for lies.

Do not give wings to evil. what is called tribalism today was blown by awolowo.


Nobody can deny that.

Is it also tribalism in other countries with parliamentary systems? This is the problem with Africans trying to inject their primordial thinking into a system they obviously didn't understand properly.

MelesZenawi:
Awolowo is the father of modern day tribalism.

Nothing good can be linked to that man.


Tribalism, suicide name any bad attributes he has it.



If not what would have prompted even people in SW to vote azikiwe instead of Awolowo.



That's why they rushed to establish lagos-ibadan express newspaper to fabricate lies but today the reverse is the case.



This is an untainted account.

Ignorance of the highest order. This was a parliamentary system and it is perfectly legal under this system for two or more parties to form a coalition in order to form a government.
Thre same process produced the government led by Balewa and Zik.

ACHILLES45:
i usually give yorubas kudos for their accomodating nature (live and let live), but i dont envy them now.
they need to wake up to reality else they lose their ancestral land and turn their offsprings to slaves tomorrow.
its quite painful that majority of them dont know what has befallen them yet because they have over time been vividly divided along religious line that they dont think out of their bible or quran.
in SE, we dont worship the bible or quran, we throw them into the fire when theres a very serious life-threatening issue and we work together to fight it. we are not there yet but i'm pretty sure that even the fulanis knows that it is not business as usual with the people of SE.
yorubas should all wake up now before its too late.

What arrant nonsense.

lumiday:
The man is beyond the character we saw in movies, he's not a trouble maker. My parent had issue with "Awon Omo onile", 4plots already forcefuy taken and sold out of his 6plots. We got the land back and those who already started building on it forfeited their structures. He did not even collect a dime, its over 12yrs now and there is no issue over the land.

He is very very intelligent.

One of the reasons I called him interesting.

Sunday Igboho, interesting character.

Did anyone invite you and your family?

NuclearWinter:
Be careful of what you wish for, for it may come to pass.

You want anarchy to prevail in the north so that your almajiri allies will do what you don't have the balls to do in Ibadan.


Let it happen. No be today them dey crase for north but any rubbish up north will be blamed on your Osinbanjo and it will expose the level of his incompetency and total lack of control on the security apparatus in the country.

That is where the blowback will come back and haunt you children of satan.

You keep referring to northerners with derogatory words like almajiri north and you want people to believe someone other than a hateful ipod was behind the cow story.

Mace0lane:
The question to ask is why should there be a reason for restructuring when it was dead brain Igbo Aguiyi Ironsi that destroyed CONFEREDERALISM ?!

What is lacking in confederalism that is in restructuring ? OP tell us 2 of such things ? And lastly do you think it is justified that a tribe that truncated conferederalism n supported a party that did not deem restructuring fit for 16 year should be the one making noise for it now ?

How you genuinely answer this questions will attest to whether your intention is holistic or you are just being foolish like other PDP fools on NL.

Fools will argue this should be apolitical discussbut to have genuine solutions all views including political should be considered.

It wasn't con federalism per se. It was a system similar to the present constitution of Canada and Australia. This is the best constitution for a country like Nigeria and it is on record that Nigeria was moving ahead economically before the system was truncated.
Politically, the country was too young to experience the type of violence and distrust brought about by the first coup.
The constitution we have today was not agreed to by Nigerians, it was fostered on us by the military and this is the source of our problems.

OlawaleSmarter0:
Which IPOB stand firm?

You mean these muds swimmers?

They are not not mud swimmers, that is the amphibious unit of the ipod army. They assume swimming positions when they are about to strike.......very deadly unit.

LastSurvivor11:
We warned them, they said we hate buhari, we protested they supported python dance instead of the people..
Today who is suffering the most??

Let’s deal with our change

You warned them of what? The same problems we have now existed under Jonathan why were you the greatest proponents of one Nigeria then?
Ibo agitation started when Jonathan lost. This is why everyone must be careful because every group have their own agenda. Don't be fooled by Ipobs, for them it's not about insecurity in the country. It is all about hate.

Let's stop all these tribal nonsense.The guy leading this protest did not give it any tribal coloration.Must we identify any issue based on our tribal leaning.I pray God will help us to overcome all these irrational behavior.

They are not very smart. If Nnamdi Kanu had started his own agitation this way without focusing on hate and vilifying other ethnic groups, if it was strictly on how to make Nigeria a better country perhaps he would have gained a lot of support and respect from other Nigerians. No, he started a radio and started spewing hate and other nonsense.

NaijaRoyalty:
Nnamdi Kanu single handedly sent shiver down Buhari's spine

I admire his courage

Ndigbo are courageous people .

We didn't run away from the police.. the more of our people they kill the more we kept multiplying .

No Igbo man should participate in this protest , let it be between Yoruba and Buhari men .

Where were you during the June 12 struggle? Didn't you run as well?

Nigerian police, they will play into the hands of people who wants to bring this country down. Whether this is going to be good or bad remains to be seen.

sanity12:
so what did u see o chest beater

He saw akpu and ofe nsala.

9icest:
Still got a coz there and the last time we spoke his best was just killed during a drive by shooting. The guy told me at least 20 to 40 die daily in Chiraq, that’s what we call Chicago. You can just type on google how many people die daily in ONLY Chicago daily in the US and you will realize Nigeria media is the most stupidest in the entire world. Countries with far worse security situations in Nigeria are not telling the world their ish, everything here must be politicized.

God bless you.

simonlee:
and we'll have the chaos in the USA happening right now!
Truth is nobody should be allowed to keep and bear arms except security personnel, but of course, herdsmen are glorified Nigerians thanks to our darling dullard in Aso Rock so they'll always get away with it

You are right, but the only reason why the herdsmen are able to perpetrate their crimes is because their victims are not able to defend themselves. Villages are being wiped out and the names changed!
If the government cannot stop this people will find their own AK47 eventually.

Not a bad thing as long as other Nigerians are allowed to carry AK47 around as well.

Jarus:
Spoke with her 2 days ago.

What we provided her could not have sustained her for long though. About N250k or so.

I heard someone won N2m for her on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire also a couple of years back. I asked her whether she got that. She said she never did. Maybe she didnt understand what I was describing.

Although she has lost most of her children, there was still one that also spoke to me when I phoned her 2 days ago. Possibly the family also share these gifts with her.

Thank you and God bless you for being selfless. Her son made Nigeria proud.
