As usual playing the victim card, everyone and even God hate Igbos but IPOBians love everyone even the devil too.
Continue begging for the presidency nobody is ready to give you in PDP or APC, continue insulting everyone, insult Nigeria as well, you won't still smell Aso Rock.

Come out live and say this. Stop hiding.

Area4Area:
Actions lead to reaction you know, just natural

What actions lead to what reaction, you emotional weakling. I challenge you to an open debate on this issue on a TV station, I'll pay for the airtime.

Afamed:
You are right. PDP should be ready to hand over the presidential ticket to SE

Both will zone their tickets to the East, God willing. Sw and North have had their turn. We will depend on the level-headed people in both parties to make this come to fruition. Equity and justice must prevail.

isthatso:
Did I say it is going to SW. Those who spew hate and incite hatred now talk about balance and equity?

Nigeria going forward is every man for himself, if you build bridges, you will get ticket and people will vote for you, if you continue to foster divisions and hatred you will continue to be isolated. Nobody cares about rotation anymore!!!

Take it from me nobody is voting for Igbo president, you have shown your true colours, do your worst, SS will collect presidency before you. You will now know the people you have been insulting since 2015 have power.

Get away with your hatred, Nigerians won't listen to unhealthy emotional dying leaves like you who intend to drag the branch down due to your toxic emotions. 11 million Nigerians voted out of 24 million voters voted for a ticket with an Obi on it this year, most were non-Igbo. Statistically that is close to 50% of Nigerians who voted. Even Osibanjo lost his polling unit to Obi this year right in yorubaland. So yes! Nigerians will vote an Igbo.

So you can't just sit in your dirty hut and start making demented blanket statements about Igbo presidency. Go away with your hateful poverty-induced toxic emotions. Go fix your rotten life please.

franchasng:
Reading through the various comments on this 2023 Presidency makes one hate Yorubas the more, damn, gradually Yorubas are turning themselves to Northeastern Nigeria without knowing....its just a matter of time.....greed, insensibility and over confidence are what brings doom to a people.....I foresee some terrible future for the Yorubas if they continue with this unjustified hatred for Igbos.



Even the Hausa-Fulanis and Igbos that are known to disagree a lot in national politics don't show much hatred for each other like this....Yorubas don't know what they are doing to themselves....its always fun when you feel you are on the winning side, just a matter of time





This was why Moses killed an Egyptian in the Holy Bible

It's really terrible, sometimes I wonder if its the same level-headed yorubas I have day to day dealings with that make all these toxic statements online or they just being hypocritical?

isthatso:
where is this in the constitution? or you mean gentleman's agreement like when ibo backed |GEJ was supposed to hand back power to the North and decided to contest in 2011 and 2015?

And where is it in the constitution that APC ticket must go SW in 2023. The zonal rotation is what ensures that balance is created in the polity and it will remain as such.

There are Easterners in the APC and they'll assert themselves and ask strongly for the ticket, rightfully too. We must not allow greed and hatred make us blind to equity.

leokid866:
It's like you don't see Investor J sitting Abi....don't let him stand....we dey beg you now.

What are you on about, and who is investor j and what is my business with him?

Yinibixema:
Go carry Apc ticket now. It’s better you don’t deceive yourself. 2023 is for yorubas

No it's not, it is for everybody, and zonal rotational policy adopted by both parties makes it imperative that the ticket goes East. Well-meaning ungreedy Nigerians will ensure it happens, not your tribalistic inflammatory emotions and hateful blackmail.

#East2023 is sacrosanct.

Area4Area:
Back from your ban, you're welcome. Go steal the slot for the SE please.
Nobody is giving you anything for free.

I was never banned, I'm not a tribalist. There is a rotational agreement. Nobody is giving anybody anything for free. The East deserve the slot since the Fulani, Yorubas have taken a shot. Your dirty miserable hatred won't stop well-meaning Nigerians from seeing this truism.

MrFourSHIRTS:
Why the sudden rush for APC ticket?

Why invest 20 years in a party and the party still doesn't count you worthy enough to bear its presidential ticket? ?

Riddle me this, "what does our South Eastern Brothers mean when they say IT IS OUR TURN"??

Your turn for what exactly??

APC will choose in Igbo for 2023 and PDP will also do the same. That's the zonal arrangement. The yorubas did not invest a dime of their political fortunes in pdp before they were given the ticket in 1999 and 2003 by the same PDP.

Every national party belong to everyone.

Umahi should defect and take the APC presidential. He fits the criteria. It's East2023.

But you did the same to other people. Why the lamentations?

The good thing about this Buhari's presidency is that will make the subsequent presidents also have the balls to catch big thieves and jail them and while closing their ears to protests and propaganda.

You cannot turn a blind eye in buhari's high-handed presidency and suddenly wake up in another man's presidency to protest and make noise. No! Even I as president will come down heavily such persons if you disturb my government.

A precedence has been set and it will be followed to the letter.

Fulani Did NOT Invent “Yoruba” and “Yamuri”

By Farooq Kperogi
October 22,2019

Femi Fani-Kayode was reported to have said that he isn't “Yoruba” because “The name ‘Yoruba’ derives from ‘Yoruba’ and it means ‘shady and unreliable’” in the Fulani language. That’s not true.

The name “Yoruba” was first attested in a treatise by a 16th-century Songhai scholar by the name of Ahmad Baba al-Massufi al-Timbukti to refer to the people of the ancient Oyo Empire, which included present-day Oyo and Osun states—and parts of Kwara and Lagos states.

The name was adopted and adapted by Muhammad Bello (who later became the Sultan of Sokoto). He referred to Oyo people as “Yoruba” in his article on the Oyo Empire. In time, Yoruba became the word by which Hausa people called the people of Oyo. The people didn’t have a common collective name for themselves; they self-identified by such names as “Oyo,” Ogbomosho,” “Ife,” “Ijesa,” "Igbomina," etc.

It was Samuel Ajayi Crowther, a returnee slave who claimed to be descended from Yoruba people, who in the nineteenth century actively worked to encourage the amalgam of related linguistic groups in western Nigeria to adopt the name “Yoruba” as their endonym. So an exonym (name given to a people by others) was adopted as an endonym (name by which a group self-identifies) through the instrumentality of an outsider who made himself an insider.

“Yoruba” is not a word— and doesn’t mean anything— in either the Fulani language (also called Fulfulde) or the Hausa language. Nor does it mean anything even in Songhai, as I’ll show in my Saturday column. By the way, the Fulani don’t refer to themselves by that name, either. That’s the Hausa exonym for them. They call themselves by some version of "Fulbe." “Hausa” itself, interestingly, is not native to the Hausa! It's the Songhai word for "southerner."

And “yamiri”? It’s also not a Fulani word. It’s a relatively recent Hausa word for the Igbo, and it’s derived from an imitation of mmiri, the Igbo word for water. During the Civil War, Hausa soldiers reported Biafrans as universally asking for “mmiri,” which sounded to their ears as “yamiri.” In time, it became the name for the people.

I was actually beginning to credit until I read where he infered that the word 'yamiri' originated in the Civil war. No I beg to disagree, evidence and account of Igbos who lived in the north pre-civil war strongly proves that the word 'yamiri' predated the civil war.

The north was a hot place, and new Igbo migrants who travelled there, asked for water 'mmiri' when they arrived after the long journey which took days. They did so in their language which was corrupted as 'yamiri' by the locals. The word pre-dated the civil war.

Propaganda!

If Fela were alive, he won't be docile, he will criticize this government and it's tyranny and I'm sure this government will have him in jail by now.

Stop crying crocodile tears, when heroes who you actually hate are dead and buried.

The self-deceit in this country is too much..

If I were the President I would disband the Nigeria police force, purge out 95% of the officers and men therein, rename it the police service. If any of them goes into armed robbery, they will be caught and shot after an accelerated trial period.

It means buhari finally agrees with IPOB and Kanu that world powers helped to defeat Biafra, without them it would have been impossible to defeat them.

The Biafrans should be proud.

I'm sure he'll be staying at the well-furnished 'Nicon hilton' part of the prison where big men pay 1.5 million naira to stay, as exposed by investigative journalist Fisayo soyombo.

ogbevireo:
Op is simply planning his perfect exit from the country on the basis of religious and sexual harassment while living in the northern part of Nigeria.

His post here today is to have online evidence to buttress his points when he is applying for a visa on the basis of gross intolerance.

Well this is another angle. Hmm!

The OP is intelligent but lacks wisdom. How can you live in this country all your life and don't know how to be socio-cuturally sensitive when you travel out of your comfort zone? Do you have deathwish?

Don't you read the news or even stories here on Nairaland?

Wisdom is profitable to direct. Always use your head.

Shikena!

Nice read

Where is last part?

I really doubt Junaid studied in USSR. I strongly suspect he bought his certificate especially in those day when the USSR was fragile, politically in turmoil and riddled with corruption.

An advocacy group should do a fact-finding excercise on Junaid's touted qualifications. Many of these ex-politicians and so called statesmen bought their certificates and were able to get away with it because we didn't have social media and internet those days. Let us see a copy of the certificate and then go back to the said school in Russia for verification.


It is never to late to do a redress and scrutinize the certificates they submitted for verification and ask them to pay back all the money they earned as serving politicians and also jail them.

Igbos despite been decentralized and autonomous historically have words like Igbonacho, Igbogadi, Odenigbo etc in Igbo lexicon.

But there is nowhere in yoruba prehistoric literature where the word 'yoruba' ever existed before their contact with the hausa. No name, no house, no land, no family bear the word 'yoruba'. Even Fulanis who conquered and colonized hausas bear Danfulani.

Food for thought.

Ffk may have a point

AU is a puppet organization. They are puppets to China and Europe. If I had my way as President of Nigeria, I'll either take over it's leadership or pull out of the useless organization..

As long as nigerians cotinue to rationalize hardship without protests and revolution there will be more taxations and levies for your politicians to feed fat on.

The air that we breath will soon be taxed.
Imagine that an Igbo man is the president and is instituting all these multiple taxes.

We know those who would have been up in arms.

Independence is not granted on chest-beating, threats, insults and blowing smoke!!

Nyamuri flat.heads most continue beign second class citizens until they know how to behave!

You can see the inflammatory remarks you are spewing here. When fire is returned, dunderheaded bigots like allthingsgood, prowalker will get emotional and start lamenting that the East have insulted.

Isn't it laughable that these morons expect the East to keep hands akimbo without returning fire while being insulted?

ProWalker:
Lmaoooo!! 2023, you will know your place in Nigeria. The same 1999 Ekueweme treatment will be given to you in another format.

There is a price to pay when you hate yoruba and Hausa/Fulani at the same time just because your preferred HERO lost an election in 2015. You want people to forget and pretend you never did what you did

Nnamdi Kanu will be on the campaign train of your igbo candidates

He will tell Nigerians why igbos were searching out for Northerners inside buses and burning Dangote trucks. HATE HAS A PRICE

Emotional sissy, if you expect to insult anyone and expect them to keep shut, then you'll have better fortunes squeezing blood from stone. Everybody has their own mad dog. You have own opc, fulani militia. The East cannot be different, it is important for balance and respect in the polity.

The Number of Easterners killed in the North since 1945 can never be surpassed if Onitsha and Aba start retaliating from today till 2023. So shut it.

Practical politics will be played, regardless of your weak inflammed emotions.
