EternalTruths:
Kabba and Ilorin are regions occupied by many tribes that is why the Colonial administrators did it by tribe.

So your submission is wrong

Former Senate President, Ameh Ebute, Monday, described the merger of three political parties into the All Progressives Congress, APC, as unworkable, affirming the continuing hurt of the Yoruba people against the Hausa Fulani on account of the death in detention of Bashorun Moshood Abiola.

Igboid:
Northern Yorubas were added, ie those in present Kwara and Kogi.
The total figures for SW were as follows:

Lagos- 325,020
Ijebu- 374,872
Ondo- 462,650
Oyo- 1,336,928
Abeokuta- 434,526
Total-. 2,933,966.

Yet the total figure given for Yorubas in 1931 was 3,166,154.

Its only common sense to know that the 232,158 deficit there was accounted for by Yorubas in the Northern province.

Same thing happens when you sum up the figures for Owerri and Onitsha provinces, they come short of the Igbo 3,172,789 figure. Commo sense says that the Western Igbos in Warri and Benin provinces,accounted for the deficit observed.

Igboid:
It said that bulk of the Yoruba people were in the Southern provinces. It never said Yorubas were the majority in the Southern provinces.

See it here, the last sentence there:

Igboid:
Yes.

Igboid:
No. All Yorubas were counted.

See the breakdown for the population figures for the provinces.

FIRST NIGERIA REPUBLIC(1963-66) The First Republic was the republican government of Nigeria between 1963 and 1966 governed by the first republican constitution. The country was split into three geopolitical regions— Western Region, Eastern Region and Northern Region—and its political parties took on the identities and ideologies of each region. The Northern People's Party (NPC) represented the interests of the predominantly Hausa/Fulani Northern Region], the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC)] (later renamed to "National Council of Nigerian Citizens" represented the predominantly Igbo Eastern Region, and the Action Group (AG) dominated the Yoruba Western Region. The NPC took control of the federal parliament, and formed a coalition government with the NCNC.


2ND REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA(1979-83) The Second Republic was the republican government of Nigeria between 1979 and 1983 governed by the second republican constitution. In the second republic the igbo dominated NPP again teamed up with(NPN) Northern party again to form the National government in the centre


THIRD REPUBLIC 1993(was abortive) In the Third republic MKO Abiola won the Election fair and square on the platform of SDP but the prominent igbos ojukwu,the late evans enwerem,and okwesilli nwodo, support IBB, SHONEKAN, and Abacha to sustain the annulment of the election.which Shonekan was given the head of interim national government


FOURTH REPUBLIC (1999 till Date) Obasanjo despite from yoruba race. The yorubas play opposition to his govt Obasanjo lost all SW states in 1999 election to Falae. But won election in S.E in Landslide victory he won the whole 5 east states And some states in North and SS The igbos have never play opposition to the incubent govt in the history of nigeria until 2015 election The yorubas have being in opposition in nigeria since the 1st ,2nd ,3rd and partially in the fouth republic making it more than fifty years in the history of nigeria politics..

With these it's very clear the igbos have being forming alliance with north to form the central government since the first republic1963 until 2015 election.. The re known for the mentality of any government in power In the history of nigerian politics igbos have never vote against any sitting govt The North Used them to gain power from 1st republic,2nd republic,3rd republic south west through obasanjo also u used and dumped Them, South south(ijaw) used and dumped them too, jonathan promised them heaven and earth ,used their ancestors name Azikiwe to cajole them at the End of the tenure nothing to account for it..

WITH THE HISTORY OF NIGERIA POLITICS FROM THE 1st to the FOURTH REPUBLIC IT IS SAFE TO AGREE ON A CONSENSUS THAT IGBOS ARE THE SLAVES OF NIGERIAN POLITICS AND THEIR ANCESTORS WERE SLAVES TO THE NORTH..
Because, north Used them to gain power From 1st 2nd,and third republic and dump them

I refer you to the article written by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the current Emir of Kano, a Fulani, where he revealed some truths about your people:
"YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA"?
http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/

... 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 were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention...


Benjamin Adekunle was a soldier who ranked higher than IBB, Danjuma, Obasanjo in his hay days in the military, but died miserably in abject poverty and squalor and his loudmouthed Yoruba tribesmen could not rescue him

The Hausa-Fulanis used him to prosecute the unholy war against Igbos and Easterners, and he was dumped him after mission accomplished. He died a miserable contractor, he was literary begging for contracts just to feed.

The bloody general was stripped off his military title; he was discharged dishonourably without his benefits, till he died he never received a single pension from the Nigerian State. It was indeed a miserable life for the tribalist.

But before his death Adekunle apologised to the Biafrans for his atrocities. And he owned up by revealing the fact that Yorubas and their Northern co-travellers declared war on Biafra because of crude oil in the Eastern region and not for unity of the country!

FORMER Head of State and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd), yesterday in his condolence message described the late Major General Benjamin Adekunle as a soldier who demonstrated unrelenting courage and sacrifice, towards keeping Nigeria united and in peace, during the 1967 civil war.

Buhari during his condolence visit to the Adekunle’s family in Lagos , noted that the late soldier demonstrated tough courage when the war was ferocious “such officer deserves honour and respect from those of us who were living together in unity today.”

The retired general was received by Adekunle’s children noted that Adekunle was among the three vibrant and courageous officers who fought doggedly to keep the nation one.

According to him, “My sincere condolence to the family and the nation on the death of a great soldier/officer of immense courage who led when the thing was tough.”

He noted that Adekunle, popularly known as the Black Scorpion, was a complete military personnel, who served this nation in his youth and laid a solid foundation for up- coming military officers to emulate.”

According to Buhari, “His war efforts remained a reference point. Without him and other patriots, modern Nigeria would not have been possible. His doggedness instantly became an attraction for young officers to emulate.”

On his meeting with Adekunle, Buhari said, “I met Adekunle as a young military officer, his doggedness attracted young officers to emulate his courage and confidence.”

go back and read my comment slowly this time,and you will see I didn't argue that Igbo's are not the greatest and god favorite in the whole world...in fact Israel dey learn work...I read in the bible where it said god called ojukwu" a man after his heart.or have you forgotten in the book of Genesis chapter 000000 vers 00000 where god said I have chosen the "flat heads"to be my people and I will be there god?

MayorofLagos:
How fulani herdsmen behave in Yorubaland:

They attack farmers and then for fear of counter attack, quickly escape into forest or police/army barrack if one is near. They send alert warning others that the ground is hot and to stay away.



How fulani herdsmen behave in Iboland:

They attack farmers and then warn the village head that the farmer killed their cows and they must be compensated. After receiving compensation. They send alert to the village and nearby villages giving a date they will return to attack them. The village then evacuates and abandon their farm and homesteads for fear of reprisal. Fulani return with cows to the abandoned villages and feed fat on crops.

bennyann:
OP Well-done you hear. What a title! Are you trying to say Igbos don't fear God but fulanis while yourubas and hausas are the only ones who fear God.

OP you're a trouble maker. I'll not be here and watch you stir up trouble in my country. First learn how to spell Igbos properly cos I can bet you're the one scared of them right now.

Besides, it's only God that knows those who fear Him. So take your trouble and gerrarahere

God favored only the Igbo's in Nigeria yet the only glory they give to him is drugs and crime abi?..

;DD ;DD after been used and dumped, Afonjas are now forming macho

bolaji3071:
Flat heads now endorsing Buhari for 2019 elections...I laugh in swahili...

sarqwest:
Stop dis chest betting its becoming irritating.

apcisevil:
You are not biafrans, yet for donkey years, you suffercoated afonjas haven't gotten common Restructuring even after being used to dislodge biafrans from power... it is just between yorubas and hausa/fulanis, man to man thing, yet you are unable to achieve anything. ..

.is it now that biafrans are recovering to make the equation 2 against 1 that yorubas will achieve anything? ??

Biafman:
You are talking jargons. Yoruba didn't win any shit for Buhari, after all yoruba vote for Buhari was only 25%, so can that win anyone election? Buhari tried in the past and failed because OBJ who was ready to rig, kill and win election then, so Buhari's votes then from the core north and NC couldn't count. If GEJ had wanted to rig, kill and win, no yoruba bullshit would have helped Buhari.

All of you big mouth yorubas should just thank your God that GEJ isn't a violent or troublesome person, if not, he would have still been the president of Nigeria today and there is nothing anyone of you big mouths can do. Only riots for some days in SW and Northern Nigeria, kill a few people and then life goes on as usual. Hey we are talking about Nigeria here. Yoruba didn't win anything for Buhari, GEJ just handed over the power to the north on a platter. Imagine a northerner, Jega being appointed INEC chairman by GEJ just for transparency to rule the day? That should tell you a lot about GEJ.
