They ONLY did that because Buhari was in CPC and they didn't like Buhari then.😏

But When he joined The Association of Past Criminals party called APC in 2014,
they rallied around him and now claimed Jonathan was a Failure.

When Buhari FAILED for 8years, They kept Mute. 😕

Vinnie2000:
No need for all these Regrets.

The Truth is that the Northern Cabal/Power brokers and some SW Elements
will NEVER be comfortable with a Southern Christian President.

They will Frustrate, Bully and try to Remote control him.😒

Remember how Goodluck Jonathan was almost Sidelined and Stopped from becoming President in May 2010.😔

The Agenda of APC and the Powerful Northern Elements in Nigeria
is for every President to Either be a NORTHERNER or a YORUBA MUSLIM.

out of serious hatred most governors from south west and north will never buy this vehicle even though it is more durable than all those so called imported vehicle

Mattswaggz:
Yeah,,, I can see hate filled comments against the Yorubas in the thread you mentioned above,,, but I can't automatically assume that all of them are Igbos in a faceless forum though the Igbos are the usual perceived perpetrators of such in all cases as y'all will say...... even when others who aren't Igbos speak against the Yorubas,,, wuna go automatically make them Igbo..... care to explain why Y'all do that?



Nonetheless,,, I still have major doubts that Nmandi Kanu had anything against the Yorubas..... all he wanted was a peaceful south-east and a possible biafra,,, so stop making false accusations against him..... That Video seems doctored too.

Mattswaggz:
Wow,, I really can't remember Nmandi Kanu dishing out hate to Yorubas...... so can you shed more light on your claims or you expect people to just believe it because you said so?

My igbo colleague said it to our hearing that Tinubu will die. Trust your girl, I challenged her. That was the last time she spoke ill of Tinubu in my presence.

Odogwuzack:
A church organized Night vigil in the East just to pray for Tinubu's death.

There's a particular region in Nigeria that needs to stop eating bitter leaf, so that the bitterness and hatred in their hearts will reduce.

Lukgaf:
As we enter the 22nd day of Shawwal, it is important to remind ourselves of the virtue of fasting six days of Shawwal after Ramadan. Fasting these six days is equivalent to fasting the entire year, as the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said.

If you haven't already fasted these six days, I encourage you to use the remaining days of Shawwal to do so. Not only will you be rewarded greatly for your efforts, but you will also benefit from the physical and spiritual benefits of fasting. You can still start today!

May Allah make it easy for us all to fast these six days and accept our good deeds. Ameen.

I had the privilege of attending some meetings of the Yoruba and Igbo Leaders. I was not a leader but a youth who knew how to wash his hands.

At one of those meetings in Owerri, I think in 1989, I think, I listened to Uncle Bola Ige and other Yoruba Leaders take the likes of Mbakwe, R. B. Okafor and others to the cleaners when the Igbo said the Yoruba were betrayers, citing that Chief Obafemi Awolowo led them into secession with a promise that if the Igbo left Nigeria, the Yoruba would follow suit. They accused him of not following up on his promise.

Trust Uncle Bola Ige! He pointed to Chief Mbakwe and said, "you were there in the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu as I was. Is that statement correct?".He turned to two other Igbo and two Yoruba Leaders who were at that meeting and asked the same question, saying he had transcripts of the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu.

They kept quiet while the Yoruba Leaders affirmed that Awolowo never promised to follow the East into secession. What he said was that if the Igbo were "driven" out of Nigeria the Yoruba would take it seriously and reassess their own position. Igbo Leaders DID NOT CONTEST this version. Then Chief Bola Ige threw in the clincher! "Who are you to accuse the Yoruba of betrayal?" he roared, and continued:

1. At Independence Awolowo offered a joint government between the NCNC and AG, with Zik as Prime Minister and Awo as Finance Minister. Awo and Zik "were still negotiating" when it was announced that Zik would be President in a coalition with NPC of the North. The East then collaborated in destroying the West and sending Awolowo and his leutenants to jail!

2. What of the 1965 elections which the West and the East agreed to boycott? We met all night and reached agreement about 3am on the day of the election. In the morning, while the Yoruba boycotted the election, the Igbo went to vote

3. After the 1979 elections Yoruba (UPN) and Igbo (APP?) Leaders were still at the negotiating table for a coalition when to their surprise, an announcement was heard that the Igbo (APP) had agreed to a coalition with the North (NPN)

4. After the 1983 elections, 1979 repeated itself. Not giving up, Awolowo reached out to Azikiwe again for cooperation. Talks started and they met in Benin where Awo pleaded passionately that only a collaboration between The Igbo and the Yoruba could save Nigeria. They didn't reach agreement but promised to meet again. Before the next meeting, the Igbo had again teamed up with the North, Uncle Bola paused and then continued "we can go on and on. So how dare you accuse the Yoruba of betrayal? How many Igbo have been killed in Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, Oshogbo (he mentioned other Yoruba towns)? You have your businesses in the West and went to Western schools. Yet you count the Yoruba as your enemy. It's your choice. If you want to be slaves for ever, we can't help you."

I had never been so scared in my life. I thought the roof was going to fall. There was a pin drop silence and no Igbo dared interrupt Uncle Bola Ige because he was telling the truth. The Yoruba Leaders ended the meeting at that point and left. I hope Chief C. O. Adebayo's memoirs will give more details of those exchanges.

Now to make three points from all this:

A. The Yoruba have been stretching their hand across the Niger for a handshake for a long time. The Igbo refused to take it for a long time.

B. Many Igbo Leaders of the 70s, 80s and 90s deliberately perpetrated the legend of Awolowo's role betraying them into the civil war and his role in prosecuting the war, to rally the Igbo population behind themselves. The Igbo agreed on Yoruba hatred than on any other issue. So it was the fabric that held them together for a long time.

C. Time heals all things. Many Igbo reading this will be hearing for the first time that their leaders of old knew for a truth that Awolowo did not break his word to Ojukwu as alleged.

And to think of it, EVEN IF OUR PARENTS QUARRELLED, SHOULD WE THE NEW GENERATION CONTINUE THE SAME WAY?. ITS TIME TO COME TOGETHER AND MAKE THE HANDSHAKE ACROSS THE NIGER WORK FOR THE SAKE OF OUR PEOPLES AND NIGERIA
