Atigba:
No one is extension of Yoruba there

When next you mention Edo State, mention Binis

Urhobos, Ijaws, Afema, Esan, Ika lgbos, Igbanke, Isoko, even Fulanis live in Edo State

Enwhen:
Biafra will NEVER happened.



but we need to give that nonsense some sense, by asking ourselves , why since the death of Aba Kyari the president has refused to give a live broadcast ?... Even when Kyari was sick AIT was ban from Aso villa...I dont understand , there is still some sense in that nonsense of that namadi kanu... It is clear that the president is not fit health wise , President has said this countless of times right from his first broadcast to Nigerians in 2015( where he said his health and age will not permit him to work as expected that Nigerians should not expect miracle)....my question is that can't he resign let the viable Prof VP , continues ??...why are we like this in Africa ?... everybody in the govt are just working parallel in their selfish interest , imagine the school feeding program even when school is shut down ?...or is Nigeria cursed ?...what have we done ?.

helinues:
Shut jor..

You are not making any sense

nobaga:
Chei see hypocrite. You voted massively for the same man - Buhari/Okadigbo

7lives:
You are really frustrated o, na war.

LukasPodolski:
Well, I will not rubbish your opinion sir.

But don't let us shy away from the fact that There is division in the country which will always justify my use of the word "HOST"

If we can send away Almajiri from Southern Nigeria then I have every right to call myself a host, are almajiris not Nigerian?
If a certain ethnic group can carry out a coup targeted at others.
A major ethnic group being referred to as betrayers. And lots more.

The above justified my use of HOST.

But who do we blame? What is the way out?
The way out is separation and the last ethnic group to call for division is Ndigbos because their Foremost Leader was the only one that supported removal of succession clause.

Restructuring : Nigeria was practicing Regional government before an Igbo man abolished it.
Today the ethnic group clamouring for Division and restructuring are the Ndigbos.

The blame should be on diversity (an Ndigbos for supporting it from the start).

Personally I wouldn't blame Buhari because if I were him I will Care for my tribe more than others.

LukasPodolski:
Goan kill yourself.

Brain dead.

Igboid:
Your unification against Fulanis explained my point.
You were united by common hate for Fulanis.

Once the Fulanis were out of the way, you fell back to fighting each other. You couldn't find an abstract thing to replace the hate with.

Hate is a good way to unite people.
But it shouldn't be hate for others. It should be hate for abstract things.
For example, the Igbos are all over the world both in slavery and at home united by hate for subjugation, retrogression, failure and marginalization.
In modern times, we hate Nigeria as an entity because she embodies the above characteristics.

We only hate you when you are seen to be supporting and promoting things we hate.
For example, it would appear Igbos hate Yorubas, when in truth, it's Yorubas penchant for subtly fighting to keep Igbos in Nigeria that we hate.
The Igbo is united by hate for failure or retrogression which was why Buhari could never sell in SE despite having two Igbo VPs, and while Abia and it's leadership are continuously bashed currently by other Igbos.

LukasPodolski:
Don't quote me again.

mystery22:
bro don't expect amen from that clown,Yoruba's are two faced cowards,they say something else and do another thing,after giving Jonathan their promise they later backstabbed him and voted buhari,who is still dealing with them badly...look at the case of femi adesina and the new cos gambari, that's a typical Yoruba man for you....

LukasPodolski:
Baba gerrahere mehn.

Below is Yoruba and Igbo voting pattern since Independence.

Suddenly we betrayed the south because we rejected an ingrate whom we singlehandedly made the president (exaggeration).

Omo ale.

diplomat058:
Well, I am not really keen on the blame games. For the records, Awo and Gowon are also entitled to knocks in that regard, but exonerating Zik and Ironsi is a betrayal of history. In the pre-independence, Zik paraded himself as a core nationalist and sought sought to undermine the regional structures and mutate self determination. He effectively convinced the NPC to remove the secession clause from the constitution. He favoured the centralization of powers to put the destines of all the peoples in common hands. Ironsi issued unification decree 34 which shattered the then viable federalism. Although the decree was short lived, I believe it prepared the psychosocial groundwork for the later undoing of Gowon who acted to salvage the country from dissolution. And don't forget that if Ironsi had done the needful, we may not have had a war.

That said, I wish the country was successfully torn apart then. I also blame Awo for his culpability in the wreckage of the then viable federalism. And

LukasPodolski:
See this nonentity, the fool was expecting us to serve him meat instead he got chease.

Your past will always reflect in your future.

Which Yoruba man will vote for the failure called Jonathan after going through the comments in the above thread?

Even Emeka cobbler in Aba is claiming SS, shameless mofo.

Oponun omo.

helinues:
Don't get aggressive.

Relax let me lecture you.. How you have seen your same pictures that I highlighted?

Will you people fly from your region and then to River Nigeria without passing through Nigeria territory?

Patiently waiting for your response

diplomat058:
You are not far from the truth. Nnamdi Azikiwe's romance with the Ahmadu Bello's NPC to undermine regional self determination and JTU Ironsi's infamous unification decree 34 laid the foundation of the mess we are in today

flokii:
Who the Igbo man can't dominate, he won't like.. but they forget that you can't dominate someone more intelligent than you are.

We'll keep reminding them that they are the cause of Nigeria's woes today whether they like it or not. I wonder why History was removed from our school curriculum.

LukasPodolski:
What, why do you guys hate the truth?

DanDeeBoss:
Lol..... See agile men jumping fence to steal someone's property

Coldie:
I grew up in the south south. Uptil today I can't point out what the Yoruba's did to us that has warranted our hatred for them.

I have researched a lot about awolowo he was not a bad guy as most people would want us to beleive, his 20 pounds policy was generosity, as at that time everybody protested against it, even our so called south south brothers, that not only protested against it, but used the opportunity to seize our properties especially in port Harcourt.

Awolowo made sure all the Igbo properties were kept, even rents were kept for us till we came back and it was given to us, our people forget so soon.

Only 3years war made our people suffer for decades later, do u know what would have happened if that war continued more than 3years we would have lost a bulk of our population. Alot of people would have let it rage so we will keep suffering and dieing but one policy ended a war that has raged on for years in months. The starvation policy.

All those pictures of hungry children was not caused by it, all those kids were already hungry before the policy. His policy saved them from suffering more by shortening there suffering.

To me the man is a hero

Gjrich:
One of President Muhammadu Buhari’s critics, Mr. Femi Aribisala has accused the President of playing the tribal card over key appointments in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

Femi Aribisala alleged that 7 out of the 9 members of the NNPC Board are from a section of the country.

He said that this section of the country has no crude oil but its people are benefitting from juicy positions in the Oil Corporation.

In a series of Twitter messages, Femi Aribisala took time to list the key positions in the NNPC and the occupants

He said, “The North does not produce oil, nevertheless, he [Buhari] has Northernised the oil industry. Out of the 9 members of the NNPC Board, 7 are Northerners.”


On the positions and occupants, Femi Aribisala wrote, “Key Management positions held by Northerners in NNPC are Mele Kolo Kyari, Group Managing Director (GMD); Umar Isa Ajiya, Chief Finance Officer, Finance, and Account; Yusuf Usman; Chief Operating Officer, Gas & Power.

Farouk Garba Sa’id, Chief Operating Officer, Corporate Services; Mustapha Y. Yakubu, Chief Operating Officer, Refining, and Petrochemicals; Hadiza Y. Coomassie, Corporate Secretary/Legal Adviser to the Corporation.

“Omar Farouk Ibrahim GGM, International Energy Relations, IER; Kallamu Abdullahi GGM, Renewable Energy; Ibrahim Birma GGM, Governance Risk and Compliance; Bala Wunti GGM, NAPIMS; Inuwa Waya MD, NNPC Shipping.

“Musa Lawan MD, Pipelines & Product Marketing, PPMC; Mansur Sambo MD, Nigeria Petroleum Development Company, NPDC; Lawal Sade MD, Duke Oil/NNPC Trading Company; Malami Shehu MD, Port Harcourt Refining Company.


Muhammed Abah MD, Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company; Abdulkadir Ahmed MD, Nigeria Gas Marketing Company; Salihu Jamari MD, Nigeria Gas and Power Investment Company Limited.

“Mohammed Zango MD, NNPC Medical Services; Sarki Auwalu Director, Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR.”

gidgiddy:
There is an unwritten rule in Nigerian politics that power should rotate between the North and South every 8 years, for the sake of equity and fairness. No sooner had Buhari won his second term than the political calculations of 2023 started.

While most people in Southern Nigeria believe that power should move to the South after Buhari would have concluded his 8 years in 2023, the question is which of three zones in the South, SW/SE/SS, should it go to?

If equity and fairness is why the Presidency should come down to the South in 2023 then the SW has no business producing the President that year!

The South West have had their 8 years with Obasanjo, the SS have had 4 years with Jonathan while the SE has not had a shot at it yet. Since the SW have had their 8 years in this democratic dispensation, it is only fair that when the Presidency rotates to the South in 2023, it should either go the SS, to enable them complete their 8 years, or go to the SE who have not had it at all

If the SW insist on taking a shot at the Presidency in 2023, then it means that fairness and equity does not mean anything to them. Therefore, the SE/SS should work against the SW producing the President, even if it means power staying in the North.

To support SW Presidency in 2023 will amount to giving the the SW a 'third term' when the other two zones in the South are yet to equal the two terms the SW have already had.

The SE/SS should say NO to a 2023 SW Presidency! If the SW insists on cheating the rest of the South in 2023, then let the whole South be cheated!

diplomat058:
Well, your conclusion reeks of hasty generalization induced by bigotry of mindset. Many Igbos on this forum too hardly discuss Biafra without calling Yorubas sorts of derogatory names, but I don't use their shameful dispositions to conclude that the Igbos are antithetical to Yoruba progress. This is especiall of Nnamdi KANU who always calls Yorubas hateful names on radio Biafra

diplomat058:
Well, the choice of Buhari wasn't irrational, to me, in 2015. GEJ performed below expectations and people decided to try Buhari. You know the rigidity of his tenure in the '80s also helped give credence to the APC campaign narrative that Buhari would stamped out corruption, and it worked of course. You can't deter people from exercising their rights of choice.

Besides, the SW is a liberal region, not conservative like many others. The voting ratio was 60:40 in favour of Buhari, but you guys don't talk about the 40% at all. That is prejudice, I think.

And you and I are not zoo inhabitants

TheRareGem1:
Presidency is going to Southwest come 2023. Hausa as VP.

Looking at Osinbajo/Zulum. Good choice

diplomat058:
what do you mean by yorubas are abominable down south? Pls, stop promoting needles bigotry. The South is as superficial as the entity called Nigeria

diplomat058:
Are you implying that inept candidates do not come from other regions? And I think your choice of zoo is derogatory. Nigeria is the people that make it up. You are also referring to yourself as part of the zoo

Odingo1:

This is the reason why I said that Yoruba don't want anything in Nigeria. If you talk about how to make Nigeria a better place they will start telling you that one Nzeogwu 60 years did a coup and Ironsi abolish this that, in next 1 million years they will keep on telling you the same thing. They don't have the braveness to transform their current situation. Imagine Germans saying that it was Hitler that divided their country and bring war,till today they would have remain a backward country today.
