Bede2u:Shut your mouth! You voted Ikpeazu the Kerosene shearer You voted Obiano the drunkard You voted Ugwuanyi the audio achiever Even the northerners are politically conscious than the SE. Na SW be your problem when all your governors are drunkard and a whole state like Anambra can’t boast of one fire truck. |
Smoke55:No it’s not in the flight mood but yours is in the flight mode. Your mistake also validate the statement that education ain’t wisdom coz it’s evident you’re also parading a single digit IQ. Even before the 3rd tanker which cannot be confirmed fell, the IPOB already dished out their usual propagandist theory of a terrorist attack coz all they do is to twist the brain of people like you to push their ideology. Now a supposedly literate like you just swallow any news without critical reasoning. So after the terrorist attacked, they also made sure the Anambra fire service is perpetually useless such that a whole state can’t deploy fire tankers to quell the situation for several hours. Nnamdi Kanu is lucky that you guys are his audience coz he already knew your brain can be easily maneuvered. |
I just confirmed education is not the only prerequisite for sense, most people that claim to be educated are actually parading a deformed brain. No brain is also too complex for propagandists to corrupt. Tanker have been falling many times in Otedola bridge in Lagos but people don’t cry blue murder but fix the problem and moved on. A whole state without Fire service truck is now blaming the government stupidity on terrorism attack. Many are truly mad but few are roaming. |
Damn, but people keep saying there is no Igbo Muslim Let me sit down and watch his kinsmen disown him by calling him Fulani slave 1,2,3 go |
If I’m going to list them according to my ratings: Fashola Aregbesola Ajimobi Amosun The rest of the governors are just trying their best in their own way. Fayemi is also trying too and Makinde is still in his early phase so we won’t be able to judge him much. |
Nawa o. Junaid don kolomental finish. Is he now implying Nwodo is a northern slave? This man need to be given 55 lashes of bulala to reset his brain. |
rex444:Tbh, I’m also guilty of the hate, most times in response to the banters by other people and most times started by me. I think it’s high time we the younger generation break from the shackles of the past. I know the politicians are fueling the ember of hate at the top and that trickles down to us the citizens. Especially the southern folks, we need to start thinking right and stop swallowing our egos to forge a common alliance. A Nigeria with a divided south will NEVER make progress. As a Yoruba guy, I know we also have to bear some of the blames but I want the other folks in the south to eschew all blame game at this moment so we can all emerge and make this nation work. |
GMbuharii:Well you have a point and you’re right. It’s just that the elites of both Igbo and Yoruba have been holding the majority of the population to ransom. You would recall that the call for restructuring was mainly echoes by the SW Caucus since 1999 only for the SW to change it’s stance after forming a government with the north. The Igbos elite also before 2015 were not much of a restructuring crusaders because they were part and parcel of the PDP government. Note: keyword is restructuring and not secession. Now is the time for the south to come together and rally around a common cause. Let us all try to shun the evils of blame game and try to forge something ahead. If we are to be right thinking intellectuals like we claimed in the south, we should have known by now that the south is the problem of the south. If we keep maintaining the same ego fight our forebearers (Igbo, Yoruba, Southern minorities) dragged themselves into then our unborn children will also start from where we stop (Blame eachother about situations that happened several decades ago). Naija matter don already tire me, I don’t even want restructuring again self rather than a breakup. Are other Yorubas like me (No), but we are gradually waking up to the realities. |
durangokid:Alright got you! |
FortuneDeGreat:We will all reach our desired destination. Gracias. Do you by chance read the speech by Senator Abaribe? https://www.nairaland.com/5462785/senator-abaribe-speech-ndi-igbo |
OnyeOgboni:These are the kind of terminologies that people have been using that have brought us all to this situation. Continue to keep using the word if you think that will suit your aim. In sociology, you have to give people a cause to polarize them towards an objective. Nnamdi Kanu was able to invoke the Igbo man innermind about seceding because Biafra was already a cause which their forebearers sacrificed so much for. The Yorubas also have to be presented with a lot of reasons for the majority to buy into the secession idea. It is not a matter of cowardice like you opined because people always react better when they have a cause to fight for. Just give us a little more time, the stance of Yorubas is already changing about one Nigeria, and a little strain in the coming years will fully strike the chord that is needed. |
FortuneDeGreat:I can't talk about the Yorubas as a stand alone entity without using a case about Nigeria to explain further. My write up may be lengthy but I will try to point out short history of this nation and the contribution of the Yorubas to its woes. Around 1954, Awolowo AG contols the western region assembly and the lost the election to Azikwe in the Western region mainly due to the fact that Awolowo made it compulsory for grown up men of tax age to pay 10 shilling for his policy of free education and health. That made the NCNC famous coz people are reluctant to pay tax and Awo sent tax collectors against those men in the nooks and crannies of the western region. The reason he took that step was because he had envisioned that after many years of free education, the government budget will not be able to sustain it so he needed a buffer before the western region become short of funds coz the cocoa price was fluctuating in the world market then. NCNC campaigned against tax and they emerged as winner. Awolowo had to play some games on the psyche of the people of the Western Region then in order to depose the NCNC from their newly found success by evoking tribal sentiment and notifying them that Zik will rule two region if he was allowed to form a government (Awo was wrong here for evoking the sentiment). This is the point where Zik started hating Awo more and he would treat Awo f*ckup later by aligning with the North. After several Months, Awolowo started his free education and healthcare policy, coupled with the workers welfare policy. He raised minimum wage from 1.9 shillings to 5 shillings even when the world bank advised against it. Then the Daily times newspaper was able to sell 600,000 unit of newspaper daily because workers have spending power to be able to buy them, even people that cannot read will buy and people will read it to them at home. Before 1963, Azikwe and Balewa already formed a government together to the surprise of sane minds. Azikwe reason was that the East and West were almost at par in intellect and prosperity, if he formed a govenment with the west, there will be constant fight and one of them will not be able to control the other (He also saw it as a chance to repay Awo for what he did earlier in the west). Also, the british were wary of Awolowo becoming Nigeria's leader because his free education policy implies Nigeria might become a nation of intellectuals at such a young age who might start to question British atrocities in Nigeria and they tilted power in the North and Zik formed an alliance. After the british left, their position needs to be filled up, ZIk cornered most of the government positions for the Igbos, most government parastatals were headed by Igbos and the North could not play a catch up because they are not educated to fill up those positions. You would ask where is the western region in all this (During those period, it is a game of winner takes all). But Azikwe was not counting on something when they were taking the jobs, the Northerners they thought were illiterate and silly made sure they cornered all the railway extensions in Nigeria, all the military installations, Kainji dam for electricity, and the iron and steel industry which was initially proposed to be sited in the East near Onitsha. The reason the North did this was that they had envisioned a breakup in the chain in the future and they are preparing for that. Remember some years back, the North tried to secede from Nigeria but Azikwe had to convince them to stay. It was in 1964 when it dawned on Azikwe that the North was not that stupid and unthinking as he thought. It was that point that Azikwe first talked about secession of the Igbos from Nigeria because he knew Balewa had rigged the 1964 parliamentary election and Zik refused to form the government. That was the genesis of the fallout of the Igbos and the northerners. The Igbos repayed the north for their betrayal by carrying out a coup later which saw to the end of Balewa with his gangs. (Remember Awolowo was in prison most of these times on trump up charges of treason). Where I blame the Yoruba is this, when Biafra was declared, we shouldn't have fought in that war, we should have remained neutral completely or supported the Igbos. If we had supported the Igbos in that Biafran war, the new country would have been better for it now, that was one of the contribution of the Yorubas to the woes of Nigeria. After the war, the Igbos would later form an alliance with the same North (Shagari/ Ekwueme, Tofa/ Christopher Ugoh) forgetting the attrocities committed by the North against them in the first republic and that was also part of their contribution to this nation woes. Can you clearly see that the bad blood between the East and the West is deeper than we think? Again in 2015, the Yorubas shouldn't have voted for Buhari in our short sightedness of his past at the detriment of the South. We might have seen it as a repay of where we thought we have been wronged BUT that decision cost Nigeria a lot and we are all still engrossed by Buhari's inefficiency. (Yoruba contributed to the woes here) The way forward is for the Igbos and Yoruba leaders to stretch hand of friendship and build a common alliance devoid of past histories of atrocities by both tribe and rally around an Igbo man for president OR both come together to make the breakup of this nation a reality. |
franklyfrank:I hate the Fulani herdsmen like I hate killers and savages. I do not hate Igbos, if you check through my posts I’m always at loggerheads with Igbos on here due to the fact that I’m replying banters. You can’t categorize that as hate because you can’t beat a dog and expect it not to bark! Nnamdi Kanu started his Biafra agitation on a wrong footing, he was the one that started abusing the Yorubas, telling his comrades to kill any bastard oyoruba they see in the East, telling them to not attend oyoruba churches, constant abuse online everytime calling everywhere a zoo. That was when the Yorubas had to return the hate for hate. Me personally already laid out many point on why the SW needs to be out of Nigeria, we would be a better country than remaining in this union called Nigeria. While I’m advocating for that, I don’t go abiut insulting the Igbos and Fulanis to achieve my aim. I’m just highlighting the reason to my fellow Yorubas on why we need to leave from this unions. That is the difference! |
GMbuharii:Well the Igbo gotta produce the president just like I opined in my earlier replies. Mr. GMBuharii you gotta blink first and identify your enemies and friend. Left to me, I don’t have any issue with an Igbo man being president coz it’s their right but I just like it when people can give a clear path to take to make that a fruition. You guys should be laying out a course for the Igbo to take, I can see that the SE governors are meeting Buhari soon, which to me is a step in a good direction. Your problem is that the ego won’t allow you to compromise, you have to do like a sheep sometimes and not come out everytime like a lion. For an Igbo presidency, judging at the current political environment of Nigeria, who (candidate) and which party do you think the Igbos will stand a chance even if the Yorubas step down for you guys? |
FortuneDeGreat:Well the Topic was about the Northerners who are majorly consisted of Hausa/Fulani and Igbos which explains why I focused my reply on both. Of course North is a region that is a conglomerate of many tribes. It’s majorly dominated by Hausa/Fulani tribes and I just use the North to categorize the Hausa/Fulani (Tho I was wrong by using that tag). Nigeria is in a bad shape because of the activities of all tribes including the Yorubas and the minorities. But the genesis of Nigeria’s woes is mainly orchestrated by the Igbo and the Hausa/Fulani alliance pre-1967. (You can try to argue this but I got a lot to buttress my fact). Also let me ask you, looking back at Nigeria’s history since 1954, what do you think is the Yoruba’s fault in all this coz I would like to hear it from someone outside my tribe. |
Esseite:You are absolutely right bro. I share in your sentiment and I’ve always been furious when I consider the parasitic effect of the North on Nigeria’s prosperity. Go and check the monthly allocation (Without 13% derivative) to states, Kano was given the highest allocation (They argued it was because it has the largest local government), Borno state allocation is greater than most states (They talked about security), same for Katsina. If you check the allocations of these states and their contribution to the commonwealth of Nigeria, you will shake your head to the rot bedeviling this nation. Millions is being wasted on the conjured religious (terrorist) war in Borno state and we have been loosing billions to that war with more billions in aid for rebuilding the damaged Borno state. I live in the states, I was in the office one day and CNN was broadcasting that Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world, they are majorly projecting some villages in Kaduna in that video and my colleagues (foreigners) were asking me “Is this where you came from”. Check the bad stat about Nigeria, illiteracy, poverty, extremism, child marriages, etc. most of these originated from the North and it can be argued that if the south were to be a seperate country, we would be the top 5 best countries in Africa if not better. But I can tell you the aforementioned rot bedeviling the north is not because they have ruled Nigeria so long, it was just the fact that Nigeria itself was created on a faulty foundation and the north is just showing the symptoms of its own culture. It does not matter if the North is in Nigeria or Niger republic, they will still be the same issue coz their own inner problem is self-inflicted. For the Igbos, I think you guys need to hold on to a cause, is it to be part of Nigeria or break out of Nigeria. If you keep having conflicting mindset, you will not be able to achieve the dream of being a president. Politics is not mathematics coz 1+1 ain’t always 2, it’s a game where you have to sacrifice ego for the greater good. Sometimes you have to call a lamb a lion to achieve your aim, coz a politician in any democracy around the world should not let emotion control him. |
ihitenansa:No, I don’t mean the Igbos will hold Nigeria down in terms of all the ills bedeviling the North. I stand to be corrected, even if the Igbos rule Nigeria for several decades, Nigeria will not be the Dubai of some sort coz it was created to fail from the onset. You should eschew any hope of this country being great with this current structure, even if you bring the prophets to rule us, we will still be faced with this monstrous situation. We the southerners always have the mindset of blaming the north and thinking their hold on power led us to this situation. While we may be right in some cases, haven’t you thought about the fact that since 1999, southerners have been president for over 13-14years and yet Nigeria has not yet turned into an eldorado as we have always claimed? Intelligence is not the only criteria to rule a nation like Nigeria, that is the fact that you should always hold dear to your heart henceforth! |
surgical:To be honest, common sense will dictate that the Igbos need to be given a chance to assume the mantle of presidency for cohesion sake so that every one of the major tribes will have a sense of belonging. One can argue that the advantage of such noble act will imply that Nigeria can move away from its gory past and forge an alliance of brotherhood going forward coz an Igbo president will not hurt but rather heal the nation. But they have to blink first and actually come together to rally a common course. To take power you have to make do with emotional politics and play politics as it should be played which is to make friends with the enemy and strike when you have the power. In politics, you have to understand the power of alliance and diplomacy. A strong person is not someone that can’t bow or shift stance, but rather a strong person is someone who have conquered the weakness of emotion. Play politics like how it should be played and see how that will come to fruition for them. |
newbornmacho:You got it wrong, the animosity between the North and the Igbos is borne out of the fact that both of you guys have the-same ideological mindset which is a game of the “winner takes all” and what can be termed the “Napoleon Complex“. Both the Igbos and the Northerners have an attitude of I don’t care whose ox is gored, you both don’t care about the other man’s feeling and you both reason like the weak meant nothing but an object to trample on. Like I’ve always said, if the Igbos had thesame power as the north, they will do the same thing the North is doing to Nigeria. Winner take all syndrome is a symptoms of both tribe. I can argue that the architect of Nigeria’s misery is not only the north but the Igbos inclusive. Nigeria creation by its forebearers is a creation that has been structured not to stand the test of time. The Igbo forebearers colluded with the devil (North) thinking the latter will be eternally stupid but the North learnt every act of absolute power from the Igbos and they are able to utilize that power more because of their population advantage! The North hold on power isn’t because they are the only devil, it’s just that they are the most opportuned devil in this entity called Nigeria. If Ironsi have been left to consolidate power during those dark ages, the Igbos might have been the image of the North in this present Nigeria. Note: I did not bring the issue of economic prosperity, education, religion into this context! |
Banner reads Ogun state chapter Igberetv wrote Osun state office. How will they paste a banner of Ogun state in Osun state office? Seems Igberetv publisher just finished smoking weed! |
I like your write up OP, and you’re simply defending your tribe and replying the hate being dished out by the un-noble statesman Junaid. While you may be furious, let me remind you that all junaid have been doing is just a reciprocal of what the Igbos have been doing to the North. Go online, you keep calling the whole north Cow, Terrorists, savages, backward people, hateful names, Alamjiri, etc. In all honesty do you feel the north won’t also have the same magnitude of hate you had for them? Why are you pained when one of them dished out what you’ve been dishing out and making it seems like it’s against the norm. Where are you OP, when Nnamdi Kanu keep calling the whole north cows? Where are the Ohaneze and your elders ? Did they caution him or did you caution him? I chatted with a Northerner once on Facebook and that was the first one I will ever chat with. She is a student of ABU, I introduced myself and told her I’m Yoruba, she was afraid to mention her tribe when I asked her. Her actual statement was that “Will you hate me if I tell you I’m Fulani”? That statement melted my heart, coz she told me we constantly abuse them everytime online especially during those Fulani herdsmen atrocities. What do you think she will feel for the southerner, love or hatred with the constant abuse? Have you forgotten there are engineers, lawyers, soldiers, entrepreneurs, etc that are from the north too? I don’t care about you or Junaid. I’m just tryna tell you that all of us are guilty of the same offense. |
kollinz1234:Well, both me and candidtalk belong to the mighty Yoruba tribe. Since you directed your insult to the North, fire on. I don’t give a bleep about the North. Gracias bro! |
Temptee101:He did not insult the Yorubas. He was simply talking about the Afenifere caucus that have become political juggernaut who have been ridiculing the Yorubas all about. The same Afenifere caucus supported Atiku and was even campaigning for him in the open. Junaid tho a sick stateman was right this time, he was simply telling them the North only recognized Tinubu and that the Afenifere caucus should not speak for the Yoruba since he said we should support the Igbos instead! |
Good! |
OnyeOgboni: SHUT UP your mouth! You’re a hypocrite, Below is one of the rubbish you typed on another thread. Seun need to start from you! OnyeOgboni: |
ZZ22:The major problem of Nigerians is that we are not politicially active, lazy youth always leave politics for the players and all we do is complain online about the rot in the system. Do you even know your LG chairman or councilor? In USA, they’ve been talking about the 2020 election since 2017 and the democrat have been strategizing on how to take government from the republican. Lazy Nigeria youth will just be watching BBN and when it’s 2022, they start disturbing online with APC and PDP with no clear strategy. |
Generalnomercy:Igbos already said they don’t want to be president of Nigeria, they already said Nigeria is a zoo. Yes, Igbos are not qualified coz they can’t even present a candidate that will win SE. |
kollinz1234:And what is his region you are talking about? Seems you just finished smoking weed! |
