Yoruba are not part of the South.

That was an erraneous geo-political allocation.

S.NorthWest, is Yoruba region.

Yoruba and the North West have history.

Both this regions have no interaction with SS/SE, before the British arrival

Southern Nigeria is SS/SE.

PureFace1:
All those tribes in South South are all Yoruba haters

Look at programs like BB Naija and MBGN

There were Yoruba contestants that deserve to win it but they would never vote for them because they are Yoruba.


You will see them all over the internet calling Yoruba all kind of names and they all hide under Igbo to hate on Yoruba.

Many Yoruba still don't know how these people in the south hate their guts but because we are just too strong for their hatred, you will never notice

festacman:
In your calculations, you fail to reckon with changing times. Stereotypes collapse because times change and equations change too. Look, you can never perfectly predict 2023 dynamics in 2019.

AyosMan:
See am an Urhobo man I need to make it clear before you people tag me ipob. When I read many of your comments here all I see are people without historical background or be they have short memory. Let me lecture some of you briefly....In the political history of this entity called Nigeria the Yoruba's have always known to play the opposition politics which I respect them for bcus every healthy society need opposition. Example, Awo played an opposition during his political Carrier days. I laugh when the Yoruba's here say that IBO's have always be relegated to the back sit in Nigeria politic that's, far from the truth. 1960 when Nigeria gain her independence the first governor general whom the colonial masters handed the power to was Tafa balewa from present Bauchi state and Dr. Namdi Azikiwe the Owelle of Onitsha who, became the president October 1963 when Nigeria became full fledge republic, while Tafa Balewa was the prime minister bcus it was a parliamentry system of government then. Also, the first military head in Nigeria is Agurosi from present IMO state, Dr Alex Ikweme was a vice president to Shagari in the first republic. The only Yoruba man was ever a military head of state was Obasanjo, also the first Yoruba man to occupy the office a civilian president in Nigeria same Obasanjo. Shonekon was just an accidental interim govt. This was while G.O Adeboye said in one of the then Holy Ghost congress that if there is any Yoruba man who should be grateful to God is Olushegu Obasanjo papa Iyabo. So the school of history actually has it the IBO's have never be relegated to the back sit in Nigeria politics. In 2015 the northerner needed power badly bcus they felt they were being shortchanged while the Yoruba's felt that the then president Jonathan was not carrying them along terms of appointment forgetting, that PDP zone the spearship to south west but tinubu used his them ACN members from south west to vote for Tambuwa present Sokoto state governor that was how he became a speaker, yet the Yoruba's blame Jonathan for it instead of tinubu that, was the begin of Jonathan misunderstanding with Tambuwa bcus of the same Yoruba's issue in the party zoning which Tambuwa went against!

The Lily livered are those who are sheepishly supporting wrong policies of this administration even when their region was infiltrated with killer herdsmen. When they threatened them, they couldn't do anything. Gani Adams threatened them in vain. My joy is that Igbos have been proved right. They maintained that Buhari would not do Nigeria any good. Today, it has happened. We've not seen dividends of democracy from this administration, but your people have started agitating for 2023. Is that not greed? As for Al-Mustapha's threat, no Yoruba leader has ever come out to debunk it.

Obdk:
The South East, South South and South West will never come together for anything..

Will you festacman vote an Igbo person? No..

But Igbos ve voted a yoruba man

Mandeyy:
When did Yoruba start playing national politics? Just this 2015 you stopped being in the opposition. It all started with Awolowo. Obj was not supported by your people, so don't count his stay in office as being your tribe playing national politics. He was a pan-Nigerian project.

PureFace1:
Yoruba and Igbo can never be friends

Last we will break up this country and everyone will be on his own

Fucck other ethnic groups they are all Yoruba haters

They all hide under the Igbo to hate on Yoruba

But we are too big for their hatred to stop our progress.

Mandeyy:
Go back and read Mustapha's interviews about how Yoruba leaders sabotaged Abiola's resolve to become president. He said he would release the video clips if they doubted it, and they kept quiet. They went to Abacha and told him not to release Abiola, that he should deal with him, but when they visited Abiola, they told him not to leave the prison until his mandate was restored. Majority of those who did this were the people that formed NADECO. That's why I believe that Yoruba are two-faced.

DMerciful:
Igbos cry because they are ambitious. Others tends to be ok with mediocrity. Wonder why the igbos are the richest ethnic group despite the Biafra war?

citizen202:
yet your Yoruba candidates will come to the Southeast to ask us to vote for a Yoruba President? what do you think the average south Easterners will think? As far as I'm concerned my vote is for any Northerner contesting till the Yoruba's are ready for a genuine Southern Unity...we all die here

ityP:
El-Rufai is not close to power? Lol. Una go shock

ityP:
See this one? U wan force me to be Igbo? Lol. My papa, mama, great grandparents, NONE are/were igbos. If e vex u, choke. But we must have a Northern President come 2023.

RTSC:
And the sad thing is that the SE,SS, SW and MB could have played together, rotate the presidency and be untouchable.

It would not only be a far more progressive govt for the country, it would be better for the south,.
The country would move at a much faster Pace.
But sadly, it would never be.

maestroferddi:
You are not smart, ogbeni...

Going by your warped logic, which work did Obasanjo do in the PDP in 2003 that warranted his re-election?

If you had any sense, you should know that Nigeria have a choice in allowing to prevail by letting the Igbos have a bite at the presidential cherry or get jet-set for the consequences of any arbitrary behaviour which.might as well spell the end of Nigeria as a body politic.

Think before getting carried away in irridentist fervour...

RTSC:
The only difference was that Jonathan was a minority facing attacks from the north, most of whom was based on ethnicity and religion.

Jonathan was a neutral fellow from a minority ethnic that could have resulted in a southern unity if the South west played ball, but greed no allow them.

Instead, they went for the low hanging fruit which anybody could have done.

ityP:
Mumu. States from my region (South South) are the top oil producing states in Nigeria. So What's my business with Igbos? As i said, we, the South South are solidly behind the North. We will not follow the igbos to their biafra, we will support the North for as long as possible. We will also support the Yorubas for everlasting Vice Presidentship

waternogetenemy:
Bad belle people, power belongs to the North.

They already have it and dont have to murder anybody to keep it.

U have nothing to grasp and not even the support of your fellow Southerners or the International Community.

2023, the North will seek the support and vote of SS/SE to actualise their ambition, same way the SW was used in 2015.

Atiku proves, the SS/SE are equally as dependable.

There are no permanent friends in Politics, just Permanent interest.

RTSC:
I don't understand.
When did MKO a corrupt fellow become George Washington that everybody must vote for?

He was a highly corrupt fellow with a lot of philantropism.
We didn't vote for him as is our right and we are proud of it.
Though it was an Igbo inec chairman that declared him president at the risk of death.

We didn't betray him. His own people sold him out.

Osaze007:
Igbo has been perpetual Nigerian slaves since 1961
Azikwe was Akobata to Balewa

ityP:
SW don't have oil. The South South have no problem with North ruling. We love it in fact

modik:
This singular posture and input of yours now clearly affirms your state of ignorance. When does the action and decision of military represent that of ethnic group?

By implication, all actions of Buratai is that of the north ba?

My last response to a narrow minded retard!

RTSC:
I couldn't give a fucck who you vote for.
Your candidate ran as VP in 2019 and lost the south woefully.

The only time your Yoruba candidate has won presidential elections, you didn't even vote for him.
It took the SE\SS to make him president.

modik:
That is a clear testament that Igbos are not docile and feudalistic in nature.

Keep your presidency and give them equity, justice and level playing ground and see them soar.

Igbo enweghi Eze. Find out the meaning

They don't suffer and smile as observed by Fela of blessed memory. So once again, who presidency epp? I know the road leading to Otta in ogun state is as bad as Enugu—Portharcourt road. Lol.

If you know you know, if not, asking is free.

RTSC:
Yes, I am voting an Igbo ticket in 2023.

Hopefully running as presidential candidate under the biggest party in Africa- PDP.

RTSC:
As it is right now, there is no Yoruba man or woman alive that can get my vote until 2040.

Even if he is an Angel. There are angels in other places too.

RTSC:
It is just a reenactment of the 2015 movie that the South west played for us.

IamAtikulate:
Was Abiola not given a GCFR by the North after murdering him?

Una mumu buttons plenty.

xelly:
Please give example as I asked. Example not theories that aren't verifiable.

JonDon12:
Dem don go dey beg. Dey lick boot. All these useless tribes for Nigeria wey dey contest for presidency, dem no dey shame.? Igbos been marginalised for a long time and still na we be number one for Nigeria.

modik:
Needless rants!

To be or not to be, almost all roads across the country are bad and death trap irrespective of where the president comes from.

Even kidnappers are on rampage at Daura. So, who presidency epp?

FYI, Igbos are republican in nature... Fix the missing link.

xelly:
Example of where there's equity and Igbos still complain please.
