Ngorbungor:my guy, many young Igbos have done this. Whether it's their official names or not I'm unsure, but they definitely bear Yoruba names in public |
Ngorbungor:continue to keep your head in the sands. Many Igbos in southwest are so assimilated they even decide to bear Yoruba names now. |
AdekunleScience:This is quite clear. The Yorubas are far and away the leaders in IT and Software Engineering. Not to mention data science, artificial intelligence, and even cryptocurrencies. The continental african artificial intelligence association is headed by a Yoruba. It's quite clear that on division, Oduduwa will reignite a modern version of the ancient Egyptian empire. Mix of Science / technology with spirituality and the arts. We'll immediately partner with Japan or Germany. As they are small enough to not pose a colonial threat, and have aging populations. While we have an extremely large youthful population. Their mastery in science and technology and their hard work culture is definitely something that can enhance the Yoruba culture, not bastardize it. |
Don't you know? They only develop successful locations. They'll have you believing they went to Lagos and developed it before anything was there Then you'll ask them well why aren't they in Iraq, South Sudan, or Tunisia. They'll quickly say there's nothing there. If they do admit they went to Lagos for greener pastures, they'll say it's only because Lagos was FCT, not because of Yorubas. Then you'll ask why hasn't Abuja passed Lagos in IGR since it has been FCT for so long? They will then say because Igbos developed it. And continue this nonsense circular argument. When you ask why Igbos would rather develop Lagos (now they're even massively in Ogun, Sound, Oyo, etc) than their fathers land, they can only shout insults because the truth is so hard to bear. The truth is the SW has set up an economic infrastructure haven that they haven't been able to replicate at home. It's no different from people going to US or UK. Except Yorubaland is the white man's land in this situation. |
Coward SE governors won't say a word. They need to speak up! Chai such a disgrace. |
These aren't the police. They're terrorist sympathisers. |
KoshCAD: |
Akaegwu:I think you mean heaven on earth. |
Oshigun:Well said!! Agree 100%. They don't care when it's not their people dying, now that it is they want to spring into action. They should remain silent like they did years before. |
Awaiting the sophisticated morons, and idiotic intelligencia Yorubas and others to start talking rubbish as if Yorubas should not respond to killings in their land. These idiots never disappoint. |
IbnBattuta1960:This. I'm not going to separate them if Hausas themselves refuse to do so. They haven't publicly condemned the killings by Fulanis, so as far as I'm concerned, they are either complicit, or don't care. Regardless, they are one in the same, you can't have a Fulanis without Hausas blood and vice versa. Separating the two is futile. If Hausas want to separate THEY must do the work. Not Yorubas. |
I know I'm not the one seeing how oddly silent this thread is. Let it be a SW state you'll see "ESN is INVINCIBLE" all over the place. Pathetic. |
I'm noticing all of the responses from IGBOS on this thread, not even Fulani. As if they are the ones attacked here in this picture. They have consistently showed they prefer to be against us. It's ok. We're always watching... |
It's not just Sunday. There are so many more people than Sunday iboho doing this. |
The criminals still need to be jailed and tried immediately. |
Saintsquare:I don't know why many Igbos act like they have amnesia like Kanu didn't have multiple tirades and attacks against Yorubas in the past? We don't forget enemies of the Yoruba race. HE REAPED WHAT HE SOWED. PERIOD. However his message is correct on this. Regardless of the messenger. |
This man is not doing his kinsmen any favors dwelling on the past. |
These Oyo Obas that sent these invitations should be flushed out and criminally charged. If these herdsmen weren't lying, which they definitely could have been. Oba or not, there's no protection for any Yoruba traitors any longer. |
I have 3 very simple questions that I would like an answer to. 1. What legal authority does the ESN operate under? Above police? Below? If they arrest a herdsmen can they even file paperwork to prosecute them? 2. If an ESN member kills someone innocently, who does the outfit answer to within the east? The governors that they don't operate under? The people of the east, that did not give them power or vote for the architect of the outfit? Who do they answer to within the region? 3. What EXACTLY differentiates these men from gang members that also carry weapons and answer to no one? And please, no answers regarding "moral righteousness", I want specifics. It is funny to me that these very simple questions are overlooked by people who care more about a show of force, than actual security. This outfit has no authority and is toothless. But some easterners see this criticism from yorubas as an attack rather than valid critiques that should be used to make the ESN stronger and foundationally sound. But regardless, when it disintegrates in a year because Nnamdi has run out of money, or has gotten tired of running this security outfit don't be shocked. It's not a part of his job, so he can stop it at anytime. Meanwhile with Amotekun they're financially supported by the revenue generated by the states, and are perpetually led by the governors. Easterners really need to wake up and demand better because this ESN will fail before it even begins. |
Wonderful development. Even better that the entire infrastructure was built by a Yoruba development company and not some foreign Chinese/lebanese people. A lot of knowledge was gained from this development. Hope to see more across the Southwest. |
mekysmart123:I never advocated for anyone to hate anyone. However it seems you all understand common sense when you're on the receiving end of the hate, but when Nnamdi Kanu went on his tirade on the Yorubas, and still does the same on Tinubu, Igbos en masse are silent and blind. Even though Yorubas have zero federal authority on preventing the agitation of biafra but are often at the center of Igbos attacks in regards to that. The hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me. |
mekysmart123:I didn't have a desire to turn this into a history debate but to put it simply, the hate you're seeing is a result of the actions of Igbos and the comments on Yorubas here over the years. It didn't sprout from thin air randomly. You may not percieve it as easily because you're not Yoruba, but Yorubas have. The retaliations have only recently started. The hate may not be necessary, but the days of the doormat "sophisticated Yorubas" are coming to an end, no more turning the other cheek. The Yoruba comments you complain about here are made by Igbos on Yorubas threads as well, if not 10x worse. You asked for an explanation and I gave it. |
mekysmart123:You must be new here. This has been brewing for about a decade. Nnamdi Kanu and his anti - Yoruba tirades for years had been disseminated by his followers on these boards for YEARS. As years went by, many young Yorubas have come to realize that the Igbos have ill will and hatred toward the Yorubas. Though the realization may have come as a result of Kanus tactless verbal attacks, we've realized that it had initially began ever since the war. The role Awolowo played in defending his people and preventing the drums of war of the soul of the country to be brought to Yorubaland's doorstep, avoiding the deaths of millions of innocent Yorubas due to a war Yorubas didn't ask for and caused by a power hungry Ojukwu, was heroic and iconic on Awolowo's part. Awolowo's strategic brilliance will forever be seen as heroic in Yorubas eyes, but we now know most Igbos see him as the devil incarnate as his actions were against the Igbos. Regardless, there is nothing that can be done to bridge this gap anymore. Young Yorubas eyes are wide open. On how Igbos as a group, view Yorubas. Part of it is the war, part of it is because of this obsessive desire to compete and dominate the Yorubas (which is a subconscious desire to make up for the humiliation of the loss at the hands of the Yorubas in the war). Whatever it is, it can't be changed. We've tried to be hospitable and nice, it has not changed your nature. As a result, we know how dangerous keeping you in our midst has become and we are shedding the niceties and letting you know where you stand in full transparency. We don't want you in our midst any longer, and comments like his will start to be seen more frequently as time progresses. |
flokii:I agree with this completely. This is A GREAT development. |
IPOB Deputy Leader Uche Mefor explains the power hungry betrayal by Nnamdi Kanu in complete and unadulterated terms, launches Biafra Human Rights and Freedom Radio (BHFR) instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IW26amkOeE |
totit:My thoughts as well when I heard that. They say Lagos is only lagos because of its previous FCT status. Then when we bring up Abuja it's "oh FCT is only good for government offices". Then when we say Ogun has more IGR than all SE states, it's, "it's because of its proximity to lagos". Intelligence and good leadership will ALWAYS attract investors and business people. There's a reason why the north, with all its political clout, still cannot boast of the FDI that the Southwest recieves. |
The envy of the Yorubas by the Igbos is as clear as day. There is no amount of threads you can make or videos you can post that will change the fact that you are behind the yorubas in everyway. You keep trying to pump your chest, and keep falling short. There's a reason why you lot rely on us and our region, while we don't rely on you. There's a reason why there are more Yoruba WOMEN billionaires, than there are Igbo men billionaires, not to even mention the Yoruba men billionaires. There's a reason why the first major Nigerian tech company to be acquired by an american company was created by 2 Yoruba men, bought for $200 Million (Paystack). There's a reason why we dominate tech, medicine, Artificial Intelligence, philosophy, and every medium of the future. We are leaders and light bearers, and you all just follow in our lead. Rather than trying to argue otherwise, just accept it, and move on. |
