Why don't us who claim educated and intellectual solve the problem?
Should we continue in our self destruction?

If USA can settle their beef with Japan and Germany: what do you think we should also do for a greater future

Today... Igbos don't bear animosity against the people of South South, we voted there son in love, irrespective of their position during and after the Civil War. They both tribes are good.

You can see how they helped Ekweremadu to become the Senate deputy, without them it wouldn't be possible. There's a need for mutual understanding.

Secondly, we have different ideology when it comes to politics. We can't be taking command from anybody, Yorubas believes they must be a Supreme leader, we don't. We prefer consensus.

Hello

I am so sorry it looks like I am insulting you.
I see us fighting like women: emotion is ruling us!

What are we gaining from our current fight?
Where would it lead us?
Can we arrest it before it consumes us?

Those are the questions I want us to be asking

I'm seriously indifferent. Though... Live I don't have issues with Yorubas.

simplycarro:
You are completely, the North can’t threaten the SW, it’s only the SE that they find it very convenient to threaten at any point in time. They can’t even threat the Ijaws the way they threatens Ibos at any slightest provocation.

They were even bold enough to issue you a quit notice to leave a part of your own country!! Only Ibos can take such

I don't need to trade words with you. But the only tribe everyone is scared of.... Fill in the gap.

shadeyinka:
If there is time and life, Nothing is too late

Let me surprise you, Igbos won't want to make any form of peace with the Yorubas, simply because they feel that Yorubas want peace because they're sensing that they will loose out on direct confrontation with the North at the poll.

And so... They suddenly needs them now.

Like I've always said, you sound great. You can't be seeking peace and be insulting me at the same time. Tinubu called Igbos during this last election Omo Okolo and Oba of Lagos said some few stuffs very degrading. Those actions has made the Igbos to see election as a challenge.

Igbos are too busy to leave there businesses and stand 3 hours in the name of getting a voter card ask anybody from the East.

I've never seen an Igbo man in the East, plan or fight a Yoruba man.

Since my existence as a barca fan,this has been the worst barca coach. A coach with zero tactics... And the worst part is that barca won't still sack him. Whats worst than blewing up a 3-0 advantage in a UCL as coach twice?? And barca board is still contemplating on whether to sack him. Even Wenger wouldn't have thrown away 3-0 advantage.

Mr valverde is the worst coach I have ever seen without a tactics. When the season was abt go start,I told some of my fellow barca fans that it will.be difficult barca winning a UCL under this amateur coach called valverde.why would this idiot of a coach remove the third option he had in attack line when which was coutinho to introduce a midfielder when he knows he needs just a goal to kill off the match? How on earth did this idiot coach never taught of starting the match with 4-4-2 atkeast to keep possession and shut Liverpool down for some mins? Barca should stop politics and employ a coach with a CV not some kinda mid table materials....

Secondly, I have been one person always against still keeping pique in barca. This dude is thr@sh especially when his assistant in CB is bad. Puyol covers this dude for over some seasons and he looked so good before umtiti covered him partly last season. Pique is one hell of a dude that can't withstand d pressure once his partner in defence is having a bad day. I totally criticised the idea of buying left footed defenders only when they were signing defenders without planning for a pique replacement. For those comparing pique to puyol,your just a modern day hypocrite!!!! Pique is absolute thr@sh that's being favoured by barca board cos he is a Spaniard

Again,whosoever that advices barca to still keep Suarez is the main architect if failure in nou camp. The number of times barca won a UCL of late,check the front line, they have always v a front trio that would score as much as 100+ goals in a season. Not scoring just 2 goals in matches and decide to defend.

There is no way only messi can kill himself for the club. Barca GATS plan perfectly well on how to get a CF and a LWF... Dembele is pure sh!t. D earlier the better we realise that.

With this present happenings, barca still had plans to sell rackitic who is their second best midfielder and keep some other sh!ts in the team.... The transfer policy of late sucks. Imagine those days LA masia graduants were always promoted,things v always been fine until.barca went to adopt real Madrid format and start buying some sh!tty players.

Are you a pundit with Marca Spain, or just a pained Barcelona FC fan?

The Question I still ask myself is how we got ourselves into this message. Was it the civil war? Or it's just plain rivalry and jealousy of each other

It all started during and after the Civil War.

Let the East trust the North at their own peril.
The North is more comfortable with the West than the East any day. The North fear the East may retaliate if given power. Until you can find a Muslim Igbo presidential candidate, forget the North.

Why don't we repair the broken bridge between the East and The West. On deep analysis, it's just a case of inter-tribal jealousy at play.

Igbos aren't overly interested in the Presidency, but they feel insulted by the Yorubas.

etrouble:
Get this nonsense out of here. Yorubas will never ever be in coalition with kidnappers, drug pushers, armed robbers, human traffickers and baby factory operators. Let Igbos put their candidats forward, we will meet at the polls.

But as we all know, Igbos will never be bold enough to contest against Yorubas, instead they will put a Hausa presidential candidate forward and be his deputy. They are just chest beaters. So, let Igbos put their Northern presidential candidate and Igbo VP forward, we shall meet at the polls.

We disgraced Igbos in 2015. We humiliated Igbos in 2019. In 2023, we shall incapacitate and totally dehumanise them. we shall teach them politics under different headings.

POL 101 : Introduction to politics without bitterness and hatred.
POL 102: Alignment and coalition in modern day politics
POL 103 : Managing post election loss trauma

You're right, that's the reason why you be vying against the North by 2023.

shadeyinka:
But it is a first step in the right direction.

Unfortunately, it means that as long as Nigeria is a Nation, you will only get crumbs after the North has taken their full share and that is if you are lucky to still have any remaining.

But, what is wrong with forgiveness and togetherness in aspiring for greatness?

Brother... You sound great, but I think this may be coming to late.

simplycarro:
This is a typical Ibo that has lived all his life in the east

No! What he said is true. If the North hasn't threatened to sideline West by 2023, Yorubas wouldn't have need for Igbos.

afroniger:
As good-intention as your suggestions appear, I don't think it can work. Igbos appear uninterested in the presidency. That's just the fact of the matter. The battle for who will succeed Buhari has already began in earnest. And while the SW and much of the North are already asserting their interest in the plum seat, the SE seems to have already resigned to occupying the VP position to a Northern president come 2023; all you hear from them is Kwankwaso/Obi or Tambuwal/Obi 2023. As in... Yorubas cannot be 'more catholic than the pope' in this case, by championing an igbo presidency when the igbos themselves have settled for VP. Who does that?? Igbos need to show more assertiveness and ambition toward the 2023 presidency, maybe then others would key into it and coalition talks can begin. But to expect Yorubas to offer igbos the presidency on a silver platter is foolhardy at best. Nobody does that. Even when OBJ was running in both 1999 and 2003, Northerners as well as other Southerners threw their hats into the ring to compete against him for the seat.

Since they understand that if they come out, you will blackmail them with Biafra tales, they will rather start gradual with the position of a VP.

afroniger:
Before this can even happen, igbos need to discard their rabid hatred for APC as a party. As it stands, even if your suggestion were to come to fruition, I seriously doubt that Igbos jn general would vote for an igbo APC presidential candidate. Their disdain for the party seems insurmountable. They would rather vote for a PDP Hausa/Fulani with an Igbo VP than an Igbo APC candidate.

Why won't they vote PDP with a goat, after using Okorocha there son against them.

Towards Igbo-Yoruba Unity and Coalition

I am honestly dismayed by the apparent display of gross "self-centredness" and "myopicness" of Igbos and Yorubas on Nairaland.

The only thing I know is wrong with these two tribes is the Rivalry of who is the greatest tribe between. Both tribes claim sound Education, Intelligence, Commerce, Industry, Exposure and Ability unfortunately, the game of division is making the two tribes "Stupidly Foolish".

The Hausa/Fulani seem to understand this division and hence use it to their own advantage even though they are considered as inferior. They have even come out boldly to announce that 2023 still belong to them and by all common sense, they are correct.

Why can't the Igbos and Yorubas unite for once? In 2023, Tinubu or Oshinbajo would want to be President. A minimum of 27 Igbo politicians would want to be President. The East and West votes would be fragmented. The North usually vote in a block. I think you can see the obvious answer.

My submission.
1. Let the Yorubas forget the presidency for 2023 but let the Igbos nominate about 6-8 candidates for the West to choose whom to support amongst them.
2. Let the East support whoever of the lot the West adopt.
3. Finally, let the coalition work upon the Middle belt and the Minorities in the North.

I honestly think that its high time we had an Igbo president for the progress of this country.
Nothing else will work except this coalition is made to work. Peace.
What do you think?

NB:
If you read this and you are still bent on East-West division, your bigotry, myopicness and stupidity is without cure!

You're sincere, but what of your brothers who doesn't see anything wrong in supporting anything, but an Igbo man?

etrouble:
At your age you are still this naive. Lawan is Buhari's candidate and not Tinubu. Tinubu does not know lawan from Adam.

I can't imagine at certain comments, do you think we're fools? A man chosen Tinubu, even Tinubu openly challenged lawmakers under APC of expulsion or vote Lawan.
