Crazy shiii ah swear..Very callous racists.
Dont blame them though, Africa failed

The raw truth?. Nigeria failed & Africa failed with her. Yoruba/Hausa/Fulani failed Nigeria and failed the whole black race. Any other narrative other than this, then know that the black race haven't even started to scratch the surface of their solutions.

You are dammed for ever son, if not you must
have known inside you now, that Igbos can never in a 1000 years commit the level of atrocities the Fulanis have committed on Nigeria past/present and your gaze is not even in their direction but Igbos...

Noerection:
please go
Mention one Yoruba man that is holding you back just one?

Nairaland, Yoruba owned.

Still running for ever the thread,...."No to secessionists". I can name a hundred more.

You think Igbos call you people, Unity beggers for nothing...

kayfra:
Yorubas dominate Nollywood by every metric. Those are the facts and we pioneered the movie making and theatre industries in the country. The only thing is the Igbos started the cheap movie making industry by producing straight to cheap CDs

Here is a list of successful Nollywood movies. Afonjas are dominant. It's not even competitive

Utterly rubbish!.

Any claim of ingenuity you Yorubas would claim above Igbos in this running thread will amount to null & void, until the Yorubas can proudly and unashamedly stand up to show case their culture/their ingenuity to the world as can be express through the seeking of Oduduwa, since those ingenuities/endowment can be clearly belong to the Yoruba culture.

Hiding under multitudes of ethnicities under Nigeria while arguing relentlessly with Igbos who are proudly & ready to show case to the world the beauty of their culture/ingenuity through actualization of Biafra, only shows that there are some really ugly stuff that the Yorubas are hiding under the cover of one Nigeria. It can be logically, safely to conclude, one Nigeria for Yorubas covers those ugliness/weakness and Oduduwa exposes them.

Racoon:
Bleep the US and western imperialist in this case.

This is a typical Igbo ways. Good team players.

If the CEO of Africa Development Bank is an Igbo man now (eg, Onyema of Air Peace), Yorubas will show their ugly side because of his tribe.

World Health Organization has now started testing COVID-19 vaccines in Nigeria.

WHO Representative in Nigeria, Fiona Braka, confirmed this while addressing the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja on Monday.

According to Braka, the testing is ongoing in other countries and it is only a step in the right direction. She insisted that the trial is with already existing drugs and not with new drugs.

In her words, “The solidarity trial is a large multi-country effort that is going on across several countries globally. We are picking up on that trial in Nigeria. Some states have started while some are yet to start.

“These are not new drugs that we are trying but drugs that we already have available but are simply being repurposed for the intention of determining their effect on Coronavirus. We will keep you updated on what the timeline for the vaccine will look like. But we are still early in the process in collection of the data,” Braka said.

Are the vaccines going to be tested and examine by Nigerian scientists before being tested to the general public?

IamPatriotic:
Parliamentary elections were held in Nigeria on 12 December 1959. The result was a hung parliament with no clear majority to form a government.

Zik's National Council of Nigeria and Cameroons (NCNC), came first with 2,594,577 votes to get 81 seats.

Awolowo's Action Group (AG), came second with 1,992,364 votes to get 73 seats.

However, the Ahmadu Bello's Northern People's Congress (NPC), came a distant third with 1,922,179 votes to get 134 of the 312 seats in the House of Representatives despite getting less public votes.

The above three major political parties in the election did not get enough number of the seats to form a government. An alliance had to be formed to determine who would rule.

It was a no brainer that Zik's NCNC and Awolowo's Action Group should make a coalition government as they came first and second respectively.

Awolowo, then humbled himself and volunteered to be a Deputy Prime Minister or Finance Minister in a coalition government with Zik as the Prime Minister. This was because the Zik's NCNC party had more public votes and seats than the Awolowo's Action Group.

Zik invited Awolowo’s team to Asaba, the gateway between the Yoruba's Western Region and the Igbo's Eastern Region to hold coalition talks. The talks were a clever ruse to keep Action Group’s hopes high, so that Action Group would be kept distracted from meeting with other minor parties for talks, including: Northern Elements Progressive Union with 8 seats; Mobolaje Grand Alliance with 6 seats; Igala Union with 4 seats; Independents Candidates with 4 seats; Igbira Tribal Union with 4 seats and the Niger Delta Congress with 1 seat.

Whilst the Action Group team was waiting in Asaba for a meeting with the NCNC, they read in the news that Zik and the NCNC had gone up North and clinched the deal with Ahmadu Bello on forming a coalition government with the NPC.

Tafawa Balewa, a Fulani, would be the Prime Minister of Nigeria while Zik would be the figure head Governor-General. Even Nkrumah of Ghana was shocked. He asked Zik why having spent so much energy fighting for colonial emancipation and then settling for a toothless bulldog role when Nigeria needed him the most.

Zik wrote in his autobiography why he did not form a coalition government with Awolowo.

In 1947, with over £13,500 raised from the Yoruba people and given to the NCNC, Zik had led other six prominent NCNC delegates to London to protest the “obnoxious laws” of Governor Arthur Richards. The trip ended in failure with backbiting, abuses and accusation of theft against Zik. Zik’s opponents at the NCNC, accused him of squandering the money and the trust of Nigerians.

Zik replied insinuating that the Yoruba on the team, that are: Mrs. Fumilayo Ransome-Kuti, Prince Adeleke Adedoyin, and Dr. A. B. Olorunnimbe, were the problem.

There erupted a heated and prolonged press war between Zik’s Political Reminiscence in his West African Pilot and H.O. Davies’ Political Panorama in the Daily Service. This led to Igbo in Lagos rushing to buy machetes in large numbers thinking a tribal war was imminent.

The Governor and his General Secretary, Hugh Foot, quickly called Zik and H.O. Davies to order at the Government House.

Zik went away with the resolve that “the Yoruba must not be allowed to rule over others in Nigeria”.

And afterwards in the Daily Service published the speech of Zik in 1949 about Igbo being destined by God to conquer and rule over others. This among others, will explain why Zik rejected Awolowo's offer of a coalition government in 1959 and instead worked with the Fulani.

The Fulani had been reading Zik and the Igbo through the lens of his 1949 speech ever since.

The Fulani way of neutralising Zik when the opportunity came in 1959 was to offer him a powerless post, which surprisingly Zik and the NCNC dutifully accepted in place of being Nigeria’s first Prime Minister.

Zik had thought that the Igbo can easily manipulate the Fulani in place of the educated Yoruba. He thus manipulated Balewa to arrest Awolowo in 1962 and to have him jailed for 10 years in 1963.

Zik also manipulated Balewa to remove from the Western Region the Edo, Urhobo, Itsekiri and Western Ijaw that account for 70% of the oil wealth in Nigeria and created for them the Mid-West Region.

Zik's hatred for the Yoruba gave the Fulani the impetus to rule over others in Nigeria.

The Igbo coup plotters tried to undo Zik's mistake in 1966. And unfortunately, they killed other tribes and left theirs, which resulted in the civil war.

Britain did not really hand over Nigeria to the Fulani. Nigeria was given over to the Fulani by the Igbo.

However, to hold on to power in Nigeria, the Fulani enlisted the backing of the self-serving career politicians in England.

Not many Igbo especially the young ones know this narrative. I don’t think the Yorubas, even their elders remember this. Has the leopard changed its spots?

~ Babalola Akinnuoye writes from Ibadan, Western Nigeria.

I swear, this write up has no relevance or value to our present day situation period. This kid of thinking is the prime reason why the Yorubas have remained the brown roof republic.

Can you imagine, if the Singaporeans dwell on writing ancient history about Malaysia, where will they be today?.

The Koreans fought a civil war in the late 50s, got divided between North & South, but there is no single brown roof today in that modern country. I can go on and on with other examples.

Yoruba, please leave ancient history & seek to transform yourself into a modern society through any kind of restructuring away from the past or seek total freedom through Your own Oduduwa and encourage others around you who are backward and untransforming to seek the same.

"Same Tory from generation to generation".

KingJa:
Have some shame bros, we don’t need a white woman to fight our battle for us, we know how to handle ourselves.

Your own battle, your own thinking, your own way, your own solutions, all but in one Nigeria.

Hmmm....Yorubas, why not your own battle/thinking/ways/solutions towards your own country?

WeneDiali:
Leave the yoruba out. They are just noisemakers, they can't move an inch out of nigeria. It's suicide for them.

They are not republican enough to have self belief. Their placenta is tied to nigeria forever, there is nothing they can do about it.

To me oo, Yorubas + Igbos with a more progressive and Republican Constitution will create an African super power.

US dropped atomic bomb on Japan, today, US and Japan are one economically. Toyotas, Nissans, and Hondas are every where in US.

then we can be at a par


don't insult me o

Yoruba Gene is ugly oo..

clevvermind:
Ibadan is too ugly. Brown roof everywhere.

I ask myself, what will be the general health of the population dwelling in that kind of environment?

Do their growth look stunted, how about their skin?, their mental health, what kind of diseases are peculiar to that kind of environment?, are their water consumption Infested because the combined human feces sip down to the aquafer? This is horrible and goes beyond tribal bashing, because that's the reality of the whole country.

How in the world can Nigeria move forward and transform herself without political restructuring or outright break up?.

My Yoruba brothers, deep down in your hearts, this kind of Nigeria you all believe in have reduced you all to sub-human existence. Igbos love Nigeria too,.. but not this kind of Nigeria.

Trailblazer1:
Whoever that took this drone picture of Ibadan will not make heaven aswear

Either way you see it (wether visual or abstract), Yorubas & Igbos are on a different beats

Please, can you explain to the world the rhythm of this beats?, because I am not understanding oo..

Kamani8:
Why won't Lagos state be cautioned. Why should they ignore a set of people just because they're Northerners? Thats wrong

Selfish lots claiming accomodating. Now the north is seeing Yoruba for who they really are

This could really be a way out or salvation for Nigeria.

The North are beginning to call out the Yorubas for what they are. Prominent Yoruba sons like FFK have beginning to call out his people for what they are. Hmmm... the Hausa Fulani eyes don clear well well for Yoruba people. Yorubas will be working towards a target on the left while their real target is on their right.

... but the governors of the Northern states have done way way worst to the Christian population in their states.

Sharia should not have been applied to the Christian population up North, but the Sharia police will destroy anything of Christian population that are not Sharia compliance, kill, burn their properties and convert them to Islam just because they are Christians and reside in the North.

Have you ever heard of that in Anambra State or as a Yoruba Muslim, trying to nack Igbos & Hausa/Fulani heads together?

Yoruba Muslims, always clever by half in nacking Hausa Fulani/Igbo heads together and sit back and watch and analyse since Independence.

Grayoso:
Bruv, are you okay? Tinubu was bidding his long-term associate goodbye only to get that insensitive and garbage message from your brother that ignores any goodwill for the dead let alone Tinubum grieving for a friend as he is allowed to do.

Of course Yorubas are angry. We appreciate the hate Igbos nurture for us that would prompt your brother to overstep his mark this horribly and disrespect the dead and the living who both owe him nothing. Nada.

You are all the same and this is why you are all defending what is wrong and condemnable because it comes from your Igbo compatriot.

I can never understand why the Yorubas are avoiding the easiest solution to Nigeria never ending complex problems..."SEPARATION"!!.

Ardar:
It's really funny how yorobers are always the ones to talk about how igbos are hurting themselves, burning bridges, self destructing etc. Forgetting that....

Fulanis have killed and have continued to kill innocent people but they are not burning bridges.

Hausas have fought yorobers and even killed some of them but they are not self destructing.

A yorober king have even threaten to drown innocent people but they are not isolating themselves.

Yorobers enough of this nonsense, it's getting stale abeg.

Only in Nigeria that a tribe(Yorubas) who aided in the genocidal killings of Igbos( over 2 million)will now call the Igbos the children of hate, but at the same time will sacrifice some of their people to make sure the same Igbos don't separate from them.

Guys, have you all seen the all round contradicting mess the Africans in Nigeria have found themselves in?.

SIRTee15:
I read Paul Kagame's article on African dependence on foreign loan...and it really got me thinking....
The truth is africa will never develop...so long as we look to foreigners for our financial or economic sustainance....

The present global economic n financial system was designed to benefit mainly western nations....
They may allow few other countries benefit from the arrangement for personal reasons.....viz a viz Singapore, south korea, taiwan, honk kong....

When globalisation n free trade came, China was smart enough to notice the loopholes in the deal n they exploited it ruthlessly....

Now lets get something clear....
Neither west nor China likes africa, and they will never give us any favourable terms....

We really need to look inward.....
We have the resources and Africans should develop its own infrasctural need....
Looking to China to build our roads n bridges is not sustainable on the long run....
The only thing we need from foreigners is technology transfer....
Let's insist on technology transfer during business transaction.....

What's lacking in Africa is technical skills n knowledge application....not money....
We can't develop an ecosystem where value is added to our resources.....

Lets forget about the loans...we don't need it....a borrower is always a slave to the lender...
we can print our own money if need be.....it's just a piece of paper....

Right now, African countries can't print money to meet its own need, because we depend on foreigners too much to get things done....
Of course, they won't accept our currency as a form of payment because it's useless to them.....
Therefore, let's work towards when foreign currency will also be useless to us....

Why should our people be subjected to perpetual poverty by selling our resources cheap.... just because we servicing a piece of paper called dollar or yuan.......

The new generation of Africans should think outside the box n create our own economic n financial system.....
That's the only way to true independence and wealth creation on the continent.....

Africa can only rise once Nigeria restructure its politics. It took the killing of James the 1st by the Parliament & his iron grip on state machinery in 18th century England to jump start the industrial revolution which spread all over Europe in a record time.

Afospecialk:
Self determination in what manner ?

Self determination that made Niger Delta an outstanding region and competing with US in terms of developement during the Zik

Self determination or selfishness to become a parasite that feed only on the crude oil from the SS ?

Let me burst your brain. SE will be poorer than Somalia if there is any disintegration of Nigeria according to out 6 geopolitical zones


SS will survive base on Crude oil

SW will survive by virtue of industrialization concentration and vast arable of lanf for agricultural production

NC will survive for being center of food basket of the nation


Others on their own

For all intents and purposes, let get on with the division then. Ain't your people tired already?.

Igbos & Ipobs have being sacrificing their lives to achieve this suffering state and status you envisioned for them, and they should be allowed to have their wish.

What about you!!...

Yujin:
When I say the scramble for Africa will happen again many don't understand me. Africa is too rich to be left in the hands of daft people. It's either we develop and defend our resources or they'll possess our land by any means possible. We're adding no value to the world. If you think we deserve to control our land, join like minded people and uproot the terrorist and criminals ruling us. We can do it. We must suffer to develop. We must cast away fear and face every stumbling block and even evil spirits will fear to stand in our way. We must value our lives by asking about any life taken carelessly by the mad dogs called security men whether the NA, NPF, NSCDC and others. We must demand accountability. We must make demands not for our personal good but for our communal benefit. Are we not dying already in our poverty? Are we not dying in our silence? So what if we die trying to change the situation? It can never get worse. We must challenge the crooks that call themselves leaders. Are black people this dull? Tufiakwa!

Blame the Yorubas except few of them like FFK.

If you know, you know.

Someone threatened to rape one of your mothers and impregnate her and a brave Yoruba boy exposed him and the panic mood set in for the manurish guy and he started screaming only for your senseless head to think of his tribe. I have warned yorubas to stop fighting for igbos as they are ingrates in nature.

It funny to me that you are married with a kid and still this senseless.

...but Igbos mostly in this thread are defending you Yorubas shekena. Didn't you read the Hausa guy saying..you Southerners attacking them?
