BishopMagic: The only reason you added yorubatic is because you know he is not Yoruba and that his posts are sarcastic.
There are thousands of raving mad yoruba ethnic and religious bigots here. You just don't see them because what they post here you endorse.
And finally, the only reason you have this useless thread up is because you are feeling the heat and taste of your own venom
The Igbos and ND people are matching your tribal rants with equal and ferocious vengeance.
If any group of people are notoriously bigots here it is Yoruba Muslims posting from that ritual hinterland called Osogbo.
If you like preach peace from now to eternity that will not stop us I. The better south ( ND and Biafra) from seeing you for who you are which is jealous treacherous betrayals and ab0ki slaves. Is it that you flunked English language in school, or your mind could not comprehend what I wrote in my previous post: "The list is long.."  That is probably why you have tagged me as a Yoruba person. ROFLMAO!  Was I the one that opened the thread? Yorubatic's posts are not sarcastic. They are tribalistic rants, riddled with lies. Ị sùḷù ̣afịa. If you cannot tell the difference between 'tribalistic' and 'sarcastic', I fit borrow you my contact lens, oh.  And for you to step up to his defence, means you support his antics. Teach him to speak the truth. Your main grouse is that you have a bone to pick with after1 or Superstar1. Face him squarely and stop trying to use or manipulate my post to launch any silly attacks against him. Or are you afraid of him? Then kindly show me in black and white any post where I endorsed a tribalistic comment from a Yoruba person. You make unfounded hate-filled allegations, and you expect people to give you a pat on the back. Forget it. Someone like me isn't interested in such pathetic trysts. Like I keep telling people: Hate kills. Get rid of the bile in your soul, before it lands you in the grave. You would do well to heed that advice. |

Despite all your initial gra-gra in 1993 you Yorubas were nowhere to be found but hiding in Soka Evil Forest. The same slave master have been hunting Yorubas for sport in Kwara State for decades. And they even consider Yoruba Muslims as inferior beings. [/size]
"And let me tell you that in the event of the breakup of this country, Ilorin and Offa will remain 100 % Northern Nigeria and not one each of land will be ceded to yorubas".- Junaid Mohammed. http://nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/main-square/69271-north-ready-nigeria-s-breakup-if-junaid-muhammed.html Your Fulani slave master has spoken, Yoruba slaves like your loudmouthed self can only but cheer him.

[size=14pt]Disciple of hate and propaganda, quit whining, weeping and wailing profusely for another man's course!

YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA - By Sanusi Lamido In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude. * The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics; * Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and * The Yoruba Factor and "Area-boy" Politics. My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was " Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors" published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled " The Igbo, the Yoruba and History" (Aug. 21, 1998)... Being Excerpts from A Paper Presented At The “National Conference On The 1999 Constitution” Jointly Organised By The Network For Justice And The Vision Trust Foundation, At The Arewa House, Kaduna From 11th –12th September, 1999. http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/ When people say you are obsessed with the Yoruba, you guys will deny it. Check up the meaning in the dictionary. Is this your post not clear evidence of your obsession, biko nu?? Why are you so fixated on the Yorubas from Ilorin & Offa? Are you saying there are no Christians in these areas? Did they pay you some amount to advocate for them? Those guys consider themselves as pure Yoruba people from the North. Period. Talk to any of them today. They will never tell you that that are Hausa or Kanuri, irrespective of their religion. Even the names they bear are pure Yoruba names. So what's the issue? *~ obsession~ əbˈsɛʃ(ə)n/Submit noun: obsession the state of being obsessed with someone or something. "she cared for him with a devotion bordering on obsession" an idea or thought about a person, place or thing that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind. plural noun: obsessions "he was in the grip of an obsession he was powerless to resist" synonyms: fixation, ruling/consuming passion, passion, mania, idée fixe, compulsion, preoccupation, enthusiasm, infatuation, addiction, fetish, craze, hobby horse; obsession Also found in: Medical, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia. ob·ses·sion (əb-sĕsh′ən, ŏb-) n. 1.

flokii: ABOMINATION... instead all your igwes and ezes in Igbo land should go to his royal highness to prostrate and beg for forgiveness on behalf of all igbos.. that's how it should be for peace to reign Erm...some Igwes and Ezes were actually in attendance when the Oba of Lagos made that speech about the lagoon, and they even laughed and clapped for him, instead of expressing displeasure with his remarks and walking out. Meanwhile, none of their people saw anything wrong in what the Eze and his fellow Igbo people did. So I really don't understand why they lodged a report at the ICC, when their Eze who was in attendance could have quickly set the record straight on the spot! ThisDay: “I’m not ready to beg you. Nobody knew how I picked Ambode. Jimi (Agbaje) is my blood relation and I told him that he cannot be governor in Lagos for now. The future belongs to God. I am not begging anybody, but what you people cannot do in Onitsha, Aba or anywhere, don’t do it here.
“If you do what I want, Lagos will continue to be prosperous for you. If you go against my wish, you will perish in the water.”
The monarch said anybody against Ambode did not wish the state well, adding, “I am for the progress, growth and development of Lagos. Ambode is highly cerebral, he’s a symbol and he is going to deliver the message which I, the Oba of Lagos, have said. And he will govern the state for another eight years.
The monarch said anybody against Ambode did not wish the state well, adding, “I am for the progress, growth and development of Lagos. Ambode is highly cerebral, he’s a symbol and he is going to deliver the message which I, the Oba of Lagos, have said. And he will govern the state for another eight years.
“He is going on a mission and God will give him the wisdom and knowledge to fulfill that mission. Almost a year ago, I declared that Ambode will be the next governor of Lagos and it will not change.
“From time immemorial, the previous occupiers of this house will say what they wanted after consultations with other people. And this hasn’t changed and it will not change at this time,” he said.
In a veiled reference to one of Jonathan’s predecessors, Akiolu stated that the crisis Nigeria was facing was not caused by the Jonathan administration but by another person he refused to name.
Continuing with his tirade, he said: “If not for the appeal from Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu) and my highly respected maternal father, the Awujale of Ijebu-Ode, all what is happening today is not the cause of the present government. The man who caused everything knows himself.”
In his response, the Eze-Ndigbo of Amuwo-Oriade, Dr. Gordian Dimojiaku, promised Akiolu that the Igbos in the state would support Ambode.
“The mistake of last Saturday was caused by everybody, not only the Igbos. It is not only the Igbos that were responsible for the votes. But we have learnt our lesson. Saturday’s election is going to be a different thing and Ambode is going to win.
“Everybody knows that when you fail the first time, you cannot afford to fail again. We are going to tell our people that Ezes from the 20 local governments and 37 local council development areas are here and that we have sworn with the Oba that we are going to make sure that Ambode wins next Saturday’s election,” he said. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/vote-for-ambode-or-perish-inside-the-lagoon-oba-akiolu-tells-igbos/206050/ |

scholes0: Yeah?? What did the Oba do? He didn't even mention Igbos in his entire speech, mind you. He spoke metaphorically (but everyone knew he was referring to Igbos) about the situation. So what did he do exactly, because all I know about is just his speech.
Also, If only you can read global Geo-politics, you will know Nigeria as it exists today, is going no where. The most that can happen is Fiscal federalism of the country's constituent parts.... ala 1963 What about the Igbo that were actively present when the Oba made the speech and cheered him on? They even clapped after he had made the speech, sef. I hope their names were also tabled before the ICC.  |

Prof Vincent Chukwuemeka Ike, the Eze Ikelionwu IX of the great Aro town Ndikelionwu in Anambra State is married to a Yoruba woman too. Her name is Adebimpe Olurinsola Abimbolu, and she is also an accomplished Professor of Library Science. They have been married for over 50 years. 
Sir (Dr) Akanu Ibiam, former Governor of Eastern Region, Nigeria from December 1960 until January 1966 also had a Yoruba wife, named Lady Olayinka, from the great Sasegbon family of Lagos state. In April 1974, Dr. Ibiam lost his dear wife. She died at the age of 68. Out of respect for her, he refused to marry any other woman. She was given a state burial. Dr Akanu Ibiam the late Ezeogo and Isiala 1 of Unwana and Osuji of Uburu, was given the title of "... Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George by Her Majesty the Queen"; 
Dr Vincent Ifeanyi Maduka the pioneer Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority, (NTA) also married a Yoruba woman. His wife is Engr. Joanna Maduka (nee Olutunbi) from Ilesha in Osun State. she was an undergraduate of University of Ife (Ibadan campus) when they met. They got married in 1967 and are still together till date.

The reason is because the languages surrounding us are Igbo based like Ukwuani, Ikwerre and Etche on the Rivers and Delta side while the rest of our surrounding States are Igbo.

Going through the article again on ThisDay Newspapers website, I was struck by some of the responses to Mark Azama's article. I just want to post one of them here: It boils down to the question of ethnic groups and personal identity.  Rufus: Mark Amaza, Thanks for this piece. Coming from Taraba with a Fulani surname, I've had a fair share of criticism....just wait till I wear a caftan, speak Hausa and still say I am not Hausa....the assumer goes blank.
I know the Muslim far north will disagree with you position simply as a reaction to the thought that their voice is been diminished but this is truth. Kano State has an LG (Sumuila LGA) which is over 70% christian. 
There are christians in Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi (Matsihiyawa) who have little or no voice. I understand that your article is to create awareness rather than a divide and I do hope the myopic south understands this, having worked in Lagos, Port-Harcourt and visiting lots of southern cities; 
Most can't believe that someone from my village of Takum does not understand Hausa....even in Niger state, I found Nupes who speak Yoruba and not a word in Hausa.....thanks once again. The region called North...in the minds on many Nigerians is more imaginary than geographical. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/re-introducing-northern-nigeria-not-as-you-know-it/176756/ Here is another response to the same article from the same site: jonasodocha: • a year ago Mark, thanks a million for this thoughtful piece. Really majority of Nigerians know little to nothing about their country. Unfortunately too, history as a subject has been surreptitiously deleted from early-learning school curriculum.
Perceptions mature into reality, when not adequately explained. If most Nigerians knew better, there would be less room for all this collective hatred and condemnation. In all this I still lay the blame at the doorsteps of the Nigerian elite generally, and the political class in particular. Why? 
The poor farmer in my village does not care much about other farmers from neighboring villages bringing their farm produce to our village market.
Let me illustrate with a personal experience which remains indelible in my heart. The lowly, but contented Ojo family [Yoruba] in Osi Ekiti that harboured me for 3 months during our UI final year geology field work in 1972 and treated me [an Ibo] as their own son, did not see me as a non-Yoruba then. 
But divisive tendencies encourage this group or collective hatred or resentment. Let me illustrate with an example from the academia and citadel of learning. It is when a Professor aspires to, prematurely, become a Vice Chancellor that he begins to whip up ethnicity and or religion in order to oust an incumbent from outside his own state or zone. 
Such tendencies becloud our sense of belonging and oneness. This attitude is prevalent among other elitist walks of life and callings, not least the political class. We need to know and understand ourselves better. It is a tool for engendering Love among the citizenry. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/re-introducing-northern-nigeria-not-as-you-know-it/176756/ |

When I said your people were obsessed with the Yorubas, they got angry. When I replied that your people were obsessed with me, you all feigned ignorance. What is your business with my ethnic group? Do they owe you a dime??!  Ok, post your own real name here first, we will verify it, before I respond to your question. Ekwensu!Now what is your reason for asking that question?? So that your limited, challenged, backward mind can take pot shots at my ethnic group, when they have not offended you in any way?? If you have a problem with my post, then face me squarely!~  And let me expose your arrant silliness to the world. It is my prerogative to answer or decline to offer a response to any question. If you like, bring your policeman to arrest me for not answering you! Oya, I am a Nigerian! I have relatives in every single part of this country. Hug the nearest transformer, if you do not like the answer!!  |
