horsepower102: This is not true, Chinua Achebe made accounts of killings happening in the south west. That was the reason a lot of Igbos in the west also fled for their lives.
A friend of mine mother who was in lagos then witnessed the killings of igbos in her neighborhood then. She even saw a pregnant Igbo woman slaughtered in her street in lagos. Some Yorubas participated in the killings of Igbos.
You are going to far trying to convince the Afonja.
Awolowo policy killed millions of Igbo children, women etc.
tamdun: Wonder why every tribe hate them, arrest Tinubu for what offence? Well, I like what they are doing to Tinubu, he brought this on himself, u don't give Igbo people too much freedom in ur territory but that's exactly what Tinubu did in Lagos
How many tribes in Nigeria really hate Igbos..Afonja??.
I hope, a study is undertaking on this subject. The only tribes that I know to hate Igbos are Yoruba/Fulani, less Hausa & the others are co-opted by Yoruba media.
Number one Igbo hater tribe in Nigeria is Yoruba because of ENVY.
Secondly, Fulani solely because of Religion + Total political domination of the Nigerian space
Hausa: Hausa hatred of Igbos is a "bakwomi" hatred. They don't have any stake in the hate unlike Yorubas + Fulanis who hate Igbos because they are stake holders in the hate. The stake is why they hate Igbos & also hate the idea of Biafra.
Others are co-opted into the hate by the Yorubas, but since after the civil war, with Igbos out of the central government and Hausa fulani/ with their Yoruba underdogs looted the Nation's common wealth to the dust (Nigeria Delta oil and gas) while Fulanis went on on a killing spree of anything living within the Nigerian space, Afonjas are completely naked with all their ugliness on this their narrative of "this is why all the tribes hate you Igbos".

Why don't you stick to your 5 eastern states and leave out the disputing states. The other thread was about celebs who are not yorubas but mistaken for yorubas due to their romance with the culture. I think another should be created for Igbos.
Fools, anthropology (with reference to ethnicities, languages, cultures, races etc) is not a function of politically created boundaries that can be erazed out and recreate over time subject to the political correctness of the time.
Godoverevery: I know you want Biafra but why making it look like other tribes are the one stopping or the stumbling block of this dream. I know there are lot of educated folks among you who know about the constitution and law. why can't you do the right thing by calling your reps in the senate and lower chamber to do the needful....Nnamdi kanu should face this men instead of making it look like is others fault. Why can't the igbo reps who are your brothers move the motion on the floor or don't they want Biafra aswell.
The fact remains we the masses are all suffering in this country so if you think any tribe is enjoying because their man is the president it is hogwash .....OBJ was the president for 8yrs what did we Yoruba masses enjoy specially. GEJ was there for there for 6yrs what the SS masses Enjoying specially?? PMB is currently there what the Northern masses Enjoying specially??
I wish you get your Biafra soon but please stop telling us we should let you go like anyone is holding you. You people are free to go as far as am concern and I think the first thing is telling every Igbo outside south east to move back. That will send a strong signal.
The way you Yorubas think frightens the Igbos!!.
Almost 80% Igbos wanted Biafra yesterdays and have paid with their lives to tell you so, and almost that percentage residing in Lagos or Southwest would like to evacuate from that region asap, but is not happening. WHY??..
... because of Yorubas period.
Yorubas in particular because, Yorubas existence on this planet Earth & Nigeria dysfunctional existence ( backwardness, extreme poverty, mass killings, genocides, extreme underdevelopment...bad rds, no electricity, no water etc) have melted down to the point of no separation.
Take the House or the Senate for example, even though, its going to take 2/3 majority votes (bar all the corruption/rubber stamp rules, both in the House or Senate), that bill will not see the light of the day.
Yoruba continuous progress & development revolves around Lagos. Biafra will alter Lagos mega City status, end Lagos State status as the oil hub(in terms of major oil offices all over the place), ceases to be the gateway to most international flights and shipments as the dynamic will be shifted, real estate sector will crumble and so so many other critical sectors. Is convenient for Yorubas because of the above facts to dwell inside the matrix of conspiracy with the parasitic North to maintain a dysfunctional Nigeria, if not reenforcing that dysfunctionality at all times. Biafra does not fit into the strategic objectives of Yoruba people, and all most all Igbos understood it like that.
Yorubas should stop wasting their time talking about accommodating Igbos or that they are the glue that holds Nigeria together. All Igbos understood the evil in that logic and they don't even waste their time to let you know that they know.
Obamaofusa: Were Igbos more merchants than the Yorubas and the Hausas then? No,of course.What really helped the Igbos in becoming traders this much was the war.They all clinged to the civil service which Nnamdi Azikiwe made sure was dominated by the Igbos.The Yorubas who were in opposition, were totally marginalized.
I was thinking you were going to address the infrastructure angle, and how the monopolistic policies of successive federal governments in the past ( of course powered by Yoruba political/economic conspiracy with the North against Igbos/ other Southerners) have seen concentration of these critical infrastructures in the SW. Over population/congestion have today become a serious issue.
awgumayor: Stop this accommodation bullshit. The person you accommodate is the person you shelters and feeds not an investor like an Igboman. Everything Igbos use in South West they paid for it. They pay rent, they buy lands of which you use the money for your services.
.. Plus the so called accommodation, they keep talking about is a skewed one. Right after the civil war, a deliberate skewed policies from successive federal governments were implemented to have Lagos enjoy the monopoly of international seaport, international airport, seat of all major oil companies in Nigeria and etc, therefore imposing an un wellcome forced migration of Igbos into Lagos( Igbos are merchants and will gravitate were those infrastructures are). These are major bounties for them after the civil war of genocide against the Igbos. Those monopolies have become counter productive as they are now hypocritically talking about accommodating Igbos in the SW, but any mention of separation, you will hear them crying about one Nigeria.
They are only accommodating their bounties not Igbos.
candyguyofficia: Oops! Nigerian inclusive of leaders and citizen have trampled on the image of the country. If only Nigerians know how Nigeria and Nigerians are perceived abroad then Nigerians will not be quick to praise internet fraudsters. There is a systematic problem with leadership, followership and our value system. No respect for dignity in labor, theives and persons of questionable character get chieftaincy tittles and in religious centers they are given "high table" during fund raising. We have taken the bull by the horn it didn't work it's time we think out of the box and look inward in a bid to change the narrative. Uhuru Sasa
Start by advocating a change of name for niger-rians which only difference is in pronounciation.
The whole world see us as niger-rians except we niger-rians.
In most of the world religions, giving out names is a spiritual pronounciation moving forward. Research your name "Nigeria" and discover how its perfectly fits into the policy strategic objective of those who gave out the name & those who swallowed the name.
Constantjohn: Imagine where no one is shouting marginalization.... Imagine no hatred, imagine no division....
Just imagine
How can you imagine that when Hausa/Fulani have made those shoutings reality, and hell bent on sustaining those realities for ever with Yorubas playing a supportive role all the way.
PureFace1: I am through with you too, go and do your homework very well and realize Yoruba beat you in all ramifications. You will always be behind Yoruba lol
Yoruba Omoluabi!!!
Yoruba have no pride. Even if you guys gap Igbos in every aspect of life, is still null and void because you cannot express them in your pride. Yoruba pride is when you can tell Igbos and Hausa fulani to go to hell with their Nigeria even if it's audio, and that we can get our own Oduduwa .... but your weak ass is incapable.
PureFace1: I already corrected it before you even mentioned it, it was my auto correct that even made that mistake.
Take it or leave it Yoruba dominate anything academics in Nigeria and beyond Nigeria. If you check the scholarship sites and Facebook pages very well, you would see that it was actually Yoruba that dominate not your Osu tribe.
Yoruba have already done this in Russia in 2013 and mind you no Yoruba need the praise of any Nyamirin, you are not worthy to even praise us.
The fact that we have already achieved this in 2013 while you Osu are chestbeating about it in 2020 prove that you will always be behind Yoruba in all ramifications and always play catching up.
I agree with you that every tribes is gifted but Yoruba lead them all.
I beg to disagree completely for the obvious reasons.
You are in a race with somebody, and you had the advantage of 5 miles ahead ( as a result of civil war). At the end of the race, it looks like a draw, but the one 5 miles ahead is beating his chest that he won.
Yoruba jealousy towards the Igbos is the prime factor that have held Nigeria down & if you disagree, try to separate or seek Oduduwa republic.( Everything from Boko Haram, fulani herdsmen, northern political domination, backwardness, poverty, tribalism and etc, all have their roots from it) Take all the Igbo's properties in Lagos join too. ....... but your weak ass is incapable!!...
Terver90: I am pro Nigeria, I believe that Nigeria can be great, I commend the Nigerian government for efforts to better her citizens through social development opportunities. But we Nigerians need to wake up to the fact that bigotry, religious intolerance are our major causes of insignificant developments. Lord JESUS, I pray that you will steer Nigeria to her potentials of greatness I pray thee amen.
You and I, know deeply that God cannot answer such prayer until pipelines of peace, equity justice and of course mineral resources start flowing from North to South instead of pipelines of injustice, terrorists, killers/killings, religious intolerance, nepotism of all kinds, and etc flowing from North to South.
Timmi: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF HATRED BETWEEN IGBO AND YORUBA I had the privilege of attending some meetings of the Yoruba and Igbo Leaders. I was not a leader but a youth who knew how to wash his hands. At one of those meetings in Owerri, I think in 1989, I think, I listened to Uncle Bola Ige and other Yoruba Leaders take the likes of Mbakwe, R. B. Okafor and others to the cleaners when the Igbo said the Yoruba were betrayers, citing that Chief Obafemi Awolowo led them into secession with a promise that if the Igbo left Nigeria, the Yoruba would follow suit. They accused him of not following up on his promise. Trust Uncle Bola Ige! He pointed to Chief Mbakwe and said, "you were there in the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu as I was. Is that statement correct?".He turned to two other Igbo and two Yoruba Leaders who were at that meeting and asked the same question, saying he had transcripts of the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu. They kept quiet while the Yoruba Leaders affirmed that Awolowo never promised to follow the East into secession. What he said was that if the Igbo were "driven" out of Nigeria the Yoruba would take it seriously and reassess their own position. Igbo Leaders DID NOT CONTEST this version. Then Chief Bola Ige threw in the clincher! "Who are you to accuse the Yoruba of betrayal?" he roared, and continued: 1. At Independence Awolowo offered a joint government between the NCNC and AG, with Zik as Prime Minister and Awo as Finance Minister. Awo and Zik "were still negotiating" when it was announced that Zik would be President in a coalition with NPC of the North. The East then collaborated in destroying the West and sending Awolowo and his leutenants to jail! 2. What of the 1965 elections which the West and the East agreed to boycott? We met all night and reached agreement about 3am on the day of the election. In the morning, while the Yoruba boycotted the election, the Igbo went to vote 3. After the 1979 elections Yoruba (UPN) and Igbo (APP?) Leaders were still at the negotiating table for a coalition when to their surprise, an announcement was heard that the Igbo (APP) had agreed to a coalition with the North (NPN) 4. After the 1983 elections, 1979 repeated itself. Not giving up, Awolowo reached out to Azikiwe again for cooperation. Talks started and they met in Benin where Awo pleaded passionately that only a collaboration between The Igbo and the Yoruba could save Nigeria. They didn't reach agreement but promised to meet again. Before the next meeting, the Igbo had again teamed up with the North. Uncle Bola paused and then continued "we can go on and on. So how dare you accuse the Yoruba of betrayal? How many Igbo have been killed in Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, Oshogbo (he mentioned other Yoruba towns)? You have your businesses in the West and went to Western schools. Yet you count the Yoruba as your enemy. You get killed in Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, Zaria etc and have your goods looted yet you consider the Hausa/ Fulani your friends. It's your choice. If you want to be slaves for ever, we can't help you" I had never been so scared in my life. I thought the roof was going to fall. There was a pin drop silence and no Igbo dared interrupt Uncle Bola Ige because he was telling the truth. The Yoruba Leaders ended the meeting at that point and left. I hope Chief C. O. Adebayo's memoirs will give more details of those exchanges. Now to make three points from all this: A. The Yoruba have been stretching their hand across the Niger for a handshake for a long time. The Igbo refused to take it for a long time until recently B. Many Igbo Leaders of the 70s, 80s and 90s deliberately perpetrated the legend of Awolowo's role betraying them into the civil war and his role in prosecuting the war, to rally the Igbo population behind themselves. The Igbo agreed on Yoruba hatred than on any other issue. So it was the fabric that held them together for a long time C. Time heals all things. Many Igbo reading this will be hearing for the first time that their leaders of old knew for a truth that Awolowo did not break his word to Ojukwu as alleged. And to think of it, EVEN IF OUR PARENTS QUARRELLED, SHOULD WE THE NEW GENERATION CONTINUE THE SAME WAY?. ITS TIME TO COME TOGETHER AND MAKE THE HANDSHAKE ACROSS THE NIGER WORK FOR THE SAKE OF OUR PEOPLES AND NIGERIA Copied from "FRIENDS IKOYI CLUB 1938" Forum posted by Adenike Marinho, a Medical Doctor.
Mr or Mrs historian listen: Even if this your historical narrative is 100% factual, the actual truth of the whole picture as it happened in the past, presently and possibly in the future can be extracted from the socio-political dynamics playing itself out today in Nigeria, thanks to the age of internet/ information technology.
Igbos now understand deeply the dynamics from the triple heritage of Yoruba people (Yoruba/African religion, Islam and Christianity), and the roles these elements play in relations with Yorubas and other groups big or small with more emphasis on politics and political alliances over a time line.
Your value systems derived from this triple heritage have already explained to some degree how you navigate politically. Considering that your above narrative is 100% factual, resulting in this endless fighting between Igbos and Yorubas, what historical narrative can you come up with between Yorubas and Hausa Fulani, and will there be endless fighting between the Yorubas & Hausa/fulani in social media like the Igbos?
I guess, the point am trying to make here, is this, Yorubas must always approach their relationship to Igbos with a different yardstick to that of Hausa/fulani no matter what.
Lovely. Expecting counter claim from Igbos on this forum. If this can’t be debunked, the traitors should forever remain silent as long as Nigeria is concerned.
Secondly, this shows Buhari is all out for revenge. Revenge of what happened long time ago. All careless utterances he made was made by former Igbo leaders “Nigeria’s unity is non negotiable” “Charging those who seek for self-determination with felony”.
Whatever problem we have now has been foreseen since the beginning. I think we should start pleading with Buhari to let go off the past and don’t seek revenge. Instead, he should lead us out of this because things will keep getting worse everyday.
This is really sad and pitiful, reading a Yoruba narrative in a deceptive defense of a great country run down to the dust mostly by the political class of SW & Northern Nigeria since their genocidal Victorious war against the Biafrans over fifty years ago.
I just hope, the above deceptive write up only serves one purpose,...to increase the traffic on niaraland, because, the Yorubas more than any other ethnic group in Nigeria contributed more than 80% causes of Nigeria's demise and subsequently, 80% of her curse. The Hausa/Fulani who are 100% hands on & the actual/physical destroyers are bounded by religious obligations to act out. I am probably wrong in my assessment in ascribing to them the remaining 20%, but clearly, they are under an influence. The Igbos are 1000% vindictive of Nigerian demise because, the nature of that demise & how it occurs over a time line as it reaches a threshold were actually acted upon them. Since after the civil war some fifty years ago, the SW & their Northern counter part usurping everything within the federal government to the exclusion of the Igbos, have presided well over $800 billions in oil windfall, with absolutely nothing to show on the country or their lives.
The great Yorubas are now stuck in (poverty capital of the world, abject poverty, no electricity, water, poor health, backwardness, insecurity of all kinds etc). For as long as Nigeria remain in existence, they can only tag on with the Hausa Fulani since they cannot politically change/influence the North whom they tag on for better or worst or the Igbos whom they conspired with the North to commit genocide.
Yorubas contributed 80% of Nigerian Woes because, 1). They introduce tribalism into the body politics by Awo's action 2). The gave the North, and are still giving, their full support in everything and question little. While the jihadist are ravaging the country, Yoruba stay focused on Igbo matters. 3). They worked 100% to enthrone the present government. 4) They have never taken the bull by the horn in addressing Nigeria's myriad of problems like the Igbos to the risk of loosing of lives. They just have to tag on with the Hausa Fulani even when the later are in mad drive of gruesome killings of Nigerians. If they talk or question, the purported monopoly of Lagos State as the international airport gateway and the international seaport gateway can be neutralize asap. The Yorubas can't even show a higher level of aggressiveness in demanding the sovereign State of Oduduwa because of the nature of "tag on" they have with the North
catfrog10: Ojukwu never abused Yorubas, still Awolowo injected himself and his people into an Igbo vs Hausa-Fulani fight, killed millions of Biafrans. Even if Nnamdi Kanu was loving to Yorubas, same result...Yorubas have pathological hatred for Igbo people borne out of envy because they cannot compete with them. Recent events in Lagos on legitimate Igbo land ownership, prove this.
.. because the Yorubas aided in genocidal killing of Igbos & their continuous conspiring alliance with the northern oligarchs, by default, them too have lost the real political prowess to change anything about their situation in Nigeria. They are stuck in a country that is the poverty capital of the world & other sub-human existence and they cannot change thier own situation because the hatred & etc toward the Igbos have definitely restricted their political projections to do good for themselves as well.
A notable Nigerian Humanitarian and Ex Miss Tourism Queen, Miss Anita May Igoni popularly referred and nicknamed "Queen Mother" has released amazing and Telemundo Inspired photos of herself as she marks her birthday in a display of astounding joy and modest appreciation to God almighty for the blessing of a new age. Anita May Igoni was plus one 20th of June 2020.
In her messages during the early hours of her yesterday, the Ex Beauty Queen, who doubles as the Founder of Miss Portharcourt City Pageant and Living For A Cause Foundation, described the 20th of June as a very special day, because a special person is celebrating another birthday and wished herself the happiest day on the year 2020.
In the later hours of the day, Anita May hosted a memorable and glamorous indoor party, as she had ample times with selected friends and family members in her Portharcourt apartment. The Celebrant had continued to receive loads of amazing gestures from several persons across Nigeria and the globe.
In her acknowledgement message, she writes, "Thank You So Much for the love you have shown me, I really appreciate the texts, the calls, the WhatsApp messages, the Inbox messages, your Facebook walls and WhatsApp Statuses. Thank you! Thank you, You are well celebrated and appreciated by me".
she concluded by praying for everyone who made out time and resources to make her birthday astounding, she noted that they would have their own testimonies before the end of this Month. Queen Amity further added that for celebrating her, God will celebrate them in this month of June, as she wishes them a blessed month.
Queen in somebody's else culture and later, we claim that we are being discriminated by the Chinese, Indians, Europeans etc.
...and before you know it, we will start shouting, the Chinese, the Indians, the Europeans are all racists toward Africans/Black people....but you've engaged in the ritual of submitting to other cultures beauty standard and when yours don't measure up to their own standard, by default, yours become inferior to theirs.
Bulleye: In other words you are justifying this act of Nnamdi Kanu.
First thing first. You have to critics my write up first....then we can move to Nnamdi kanu style or approach which is subject to analysis from different angles.....& believe me, I am not trying to be smart here.
Bulleye: The latest now from the Ipob deranged leader is that Yoruba working in Facebook are suppressing Ipob campaign on Facebook. In other words Ipob has carried their madness to be attacking Yoruba in their corporate employment. How sad!
These are people that we accommodate and co - exist with, yet bent on destroying Yoruba. For God's sake what have Yoruba working in Facebook got to do with Igbo problems in Nigeria?
Can Igbo now come clean on their agenda against Yoruba? What is really going on? Why making unfounded allegations against innocent people?
Why Is Nnamdi Kanu bent on attacking Yoruba for no just reason? Why attacking Yoruba working at Facebook! Where are the Igbo please!
Tribes and ethnic groups have different world views or truths shaped by combinations of so many influences including culture, tradition, norms/value systems, history, religions, politics & etc.
Igbo's truth is that Yorubas are not about "on bent" to start destroying Igbos, but have already engage on the act from mid sixties till date orchestrated by genocidal killings of Igbos en mass by Awolowo policy/doctrine ( if you are in doubt about the doctrine, check Yoruba media, politics, Lagos/ Nigerian citizenery as it relates to Igbos).
.. With the above Igbo's truth & world view, it seems to me that the Yorubas have come clean and clear on their agenda towards Igbos under one Nigeria. To this end, Igbo's agenda towards the Yorubas is a reactive one. Since internet and social media have provided the Igbos a level playing field, the clean and clear agenda from the reactive Igbos is to upend the capabilites of social media on pressure to the Yorubas towards complete separation
By the way, what you Yorubas consider "accommodating of Igbos in the south west", base on your Yoruba truth, the Igbo's truth tells them something different.. that part of Yorubas "bent on" destroying Igbos completely ( since the Yorubas are already in the act) is the status of Lagos as the only international Sea & air ports for global businesses concerning Igbos and others. Igbos do not in any straight of imagination view this as benevolence accommodation from the Yorubas rather a demonic conspiracy from Yoruba with the oligarchs in the North for continuous destruction of Igbos.
AsabaPropertyAg: Why building another Airport in South East, while we have only 5 viable Airports in Nigeria, is this not wasting of state's resources. Governors should invest more in building hospitals in the states, I thought this Covid-19 taught governor's some lessons, Anambra is also building airport, there is Airport in Owerri, Asaba and Enugu if all this Airports start functioning where are the passengers to fly through this Airports. We don't have much passenger traffic to maintain all these Airports according to what FAAN wrote some months ago. Governors should stop building Airports and focus on what will impact the life's of the poor because poor people don't use Airport. Governors should Build good hospitals in all local government that will benefit the poor and forget about Airports for now untill when our economy improved.
For Africa to catch up with the rest of the world, and trade among themselves in order to pull themselves out of abject poverty, they need $100 billion annually on transportation focused infrastructure. In Africa, every nok and corner have to be open up.
Africa continental free trade is the biggest in the world, & require all net work of roads, rails, airports, Sea ports etc.
Arrewa: There’s nothing the NEF said that’s not reflecting the mind of the average northerner on the streets and even the elites.
security has worsened in the north from Borno to kastina and Southern Kaduna
FemAdesina was very wrong to call them mere irritants!!!
Just because you and your cohorts are not at the receiving ends of this killings shouldn’t give you nor your failed cluesless government the audacity to disrespect our elders for relating the undiluted truth to your master.
We will not politicize the death of our people, destruction of properties and displacement of people, hereby ravaging the north and setting it up for doom, if your government can’t do anything about it,MBuhari should resign honorably. #NorthernLivesMatter
Biafrans support Arewa!. If the Arewa masses, almagiris, nupes, Hausas and other associated Northern tribes were as exposed as they are today, there people couldn't have joined the war of pogrom against the Igbos.
Grayoso: Nigeria is only a laughing stock to anti-Nigerian elements like Igbos who praise every criticism of Nigeria by non-Nigerian re.tards and ignoramuses who only deserve a slap.
This quality of Igbos alone is enough to always prevent them ever leading Nigeria. Igbos do not believe in Nigeria and are all brainwashed to hate, mock and undermine her.
We need to ask why a Ghanaian cannot face his country's election without mentioning Nigeria. Why is it always Igbos who are Saboteurs and internal enemies of Nigeria always prepared to side with our external enemies rather than reprimand them for maligning us?
Gahanians are always talking about and comparing themselves to Nigerians same as Igbos are always doing with Yorubas. It is unhealthy and wrong. Ghanaians should mind their business and election because Nigerians don't give a toss about them, their election or who becomes their President.
This is exactly what we're talking about here.
Evil is when Yorubas see & turn the truth on its head.
Tell me how Igbo's agitation, criticism, even propaganda if you may, compare with the evil of "every day killings" of Nigerians, corruption, backwardness and the abyss of abject poverty undermine Nigeria. Are you saying that those evils going in Nigeria are not online for the world to see?. Probably, the Igbos are the primary source of news of Nigeria to the world.
I really believe that Yoruba media is worst in evil than fulani herdsmen.
Mr. Hassan Ayariga, founder, All Peoples Congress, and a candidate of the people’s national convention for the December 2012 Ghana presidential election has said that Ghana will not make the mistake Nigerians made by voting an old man into power.
Nigerians have given their country to Buhari and he has killed the country, the country is dead, Nigeria is no more what it used to be, Ayariga said.
He also noted that the man is a old man and also he doesn't have the capacity to handle and lead the country Nigeria .he made all this known in a video clip when he was been interviewed.
He said Ghana should not elect and get careful not to also adopt Nigeria style which already is killing the country as the man is too old to handle the country.
Are we bringing another Buhari in Ghana by voting old man, he asked?
East/Niger delta and North would be fighting civil war every 2 yrs
North would be exploiting the East East would be exploiting the North.
God intentionally placed the Yorubas in Nigeria esp in West to checkmate both of them
Some people wants the downfall of Yorubas so that they can keep exploiting other regions
Hypocrite, prove it by declaring Oduduwa republic and see how much value the rest of Nigerians will value of Yorubas leaving or not leaving unlike the Igbos.
That's just one example of how Igbos are gracefully blessed over Yorubas...... and this is not chest beating, but reality. There are also countless examples.
Gjrich: The National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Abdullahi Bodejo, has said that the Fulani own Nigeria and will rule the country forever.
Abdullahi also revealed that his organisation had concluded arrangements to flag-off its own security outfit with about 5,000 to 100,000 vigilantes to be deployed across all the states of the country.
He said that Fulani don’t need permission from anyone to settle in any land of their choice because Nigeria belongs to them and they founded it.
The Fulani leader said that like Amotekun, where the States Houses of Assembly in the South West made laws to back it up, the Fulani security outfit won’t be needing the law to support it because every place the Fulani find themselves, “that is their own Assembly.”
Abdullahi stated this in an interview with the Sun, adding, “My organization, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, we are trying to set up our own security outfit.
“We are considering starting with 5000 personnel. While their own is Amotekun, our own name shall be unveiled soon. We have not decided on its name, maybe, it may be called, Miyetti Allah Vigilante.”
He explained that the Coronavirus has delayed the take off of the outfit because of the social distancing policy even though “nothing concerns Fulani man with Coronavirus.”
“We are meeting, anytime from now, we make our plans public. We will first start with 5,000 personnel,” he said, adding that, “It is going to be across the country because there is no any angle you cannot find the Fulani in this country.
He said that even though personnel of this security outfit are meant to tackle rustlers and bandits with guns and other weapons, they (the new security outfit) will not bear arms but will use the same sticks they use to control cows, adding that “stick is enough to use for their defence.
He insisted that the Fulani has the rights “to go and settle in any bush in this country without asking anybody for permission.
“It is not against the law in this country. Who would they go to take permission from, is it the animals in the bush?”
He said that no one can drive away the Fulani because “They produced Nigeria.
“They produced the first prime minister. If they produced the first president, another president, another president and so on, are they not the owner of the country?
“Fulani are ruling Nigeria and they must continue to rule the country forever. That is the truth.”
Yenefer: Northerners with no education are the ones ruling Nigeria – Afenifere leader, Okunrounmu
Published 14 seconds agoon May 30, 2020By Ishola Oludare
A leader of Afenifere, Senator Femi Okurounmu, has said that Nigeria is being ruled by Northerners, whom he described as having almost little or no education.
Okurounmu, while speaking on the nation’s 21 years of uninterrupted democracy, expressed displeasure that many Southern youths who graduated from the university with good grades are roaming the streets with no jobs, saying Northerners are the ones getting employed.
“In terms of development, Nigeria has been going very slippery downhill since 1999. Poverty has been increasing at an alarming rate. The level of youth unemployment is more than 50%. Every day, we start new universities, but the products of these universities, what jobs have we prepared for them? Most of them graduated without jobs; they have their certificates. The parents struggled and struggled so they make it through universities, because we so much value education in our own part of the country. But after the struggle of the parents, the children come out with the grades, they begin to roam the streets jobless. And most of the jobless youths in Nigeria are southerners because they don’t give much value to education in the North.
“If a Southerner goes to school with a Northerner. If the Southerner gets a first class and the Northerner barely pushes through just to graduate. If they apply for a job, the Northerner will be given the job and within a few years, he will become the boss.
“The Northerners with almost little or no education are the ones ruling the country in every facet. In every part of the country, they are in charge. All the so-called highly educated Southerners are roaming about without jobs. To find fulfillment, they must find their way out of the country. Nigeria is no longer a place where Yoruba sons and daughters who are educated can live and find fulfillment; they have to go out of the country.”
Okurounmu who spoke on an Abeokuta radio station on Saturday, accused Hausas and Fulanis of plans to dominate other parts of the country, saying “we now live like slaves in own country.”
According to him, May 29 is an insult to the Yoruba people for it was the day when the Western regional government of the Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was truncated.
He alleged that power was handed over to the Yorubas in 1999 so that the Northerners could have full hegemonic rule over the country.
“To make May 29 Democracy Day was an insult on the Yorubas. In fact, it was a mockery of the Yorubas by The Hausa/Fulani hegemony who handed over power in 1999. I said it was an insult on the Yorubas because I could remember in history, May 29 is an inglorious day in Yoruba history. It is a day that Yorubas should be always sad of. It is a day that democracy was truncated in the former Western region. May 29, 1962, was the day the Western House of Assembly was dissolved by the then Federal Government under Tafawa Balewa. When a state of emergency was declared throughout the Western region. It was the day Awolowo was restricted and taken to Lekki and other Action Group leaders were detained. So celebrating May 29 as Democracy Day is contradictory.
“Another point is that the whole June 12 struggle was a resistance by the Yorubas to the fact that the hegemonic North wanted to perpetuate their rule and ascendancy over the whole Nigeria. They wanted to have hegemonic rule in perpetuity over Nigeria. Which is one of the reasons why MKO Abiola’s election was annulled and which is one of the reasons why the Yorubas resisted that annulment because the Yorubas believe what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
“The Fulani cannot insist that they must rule Nigeria forever. Unfortunately, the so-called democracy that they handed over to us was a prelude to continue Fulani domination. As you can see, those who are observant can see that under the cover of this COVID-19 lockdown, truckloads of Fulani youths are being transported to every part of the South. Huge trucks loaded with able-bodied Fulani youths, sometimes with arms, in fact many times with arms; because a lot of them have been intercepted and caught with arms in their trucks, going to various places in the south. Within a short period of their coming, they disappear into the hinterland; either they disappear into the towns or to the villages. A lot of people believe they are preparing for Jihad to truly take over the whole country. These are the things that have been happening. This is all the truth of the democracy that was handed over to us since 1999. May 29 was an insult upon the Yorubas. It has aided complete domination by the Fulanis to the extent that many of us now feel like slaves in our own country,” Okurounmu revealed.
You Yorubas (mostly your media) are to be blame for the Nigerian abyss 1000% and squarely period. Hausa/fulanis who are the "hands on destroyers of Nigeria or Nigeria abyss producers are destroying and producing the Nigerian abyss because they are zealots of religion", but you Yorubas with clear eyes aided & abated them willfully.
To pursue and get a better Nigeria, show steadfast determination to Oduduwa as an option. Be willing to pay the ultimate price/sacrifice for that determination like the Igbos are doing through Biafra...and a much more better Nigeria will be birthed period. Channel your write ups towards that direction and see results.
