Are Ibos starting to claim Ovia too? Haba! Make them kuku claim Akiolu join now. Eleko na Iboman from Ihiefite in Anambara.

I hope you know we are not united.

A whale swallowing a shark.

After a decade we're still at this. It shows facts don't go away.

although most of my people are, I'm not.

Not every part of Lagos belongs to Edo. There are those that belongs to Yorubas. But as my father would say Lagos is a colonial settlement so arguments like this shouldn't matter.

Just like davido was caught we'll soon know how she buys the followership.

I don't think this is false
I'm Yoruba though

Good,were heading somewhere.you are very reasonable and objective.inec couldn't provide reasonable basis for all the 388 units.in some units,they claimed that there was overvoting and that they arrived at this decision through the card reader records meanwhile the supreme court defines overvoting as when total valid votes exceeds registered voters not accredited voters and this was re-echoed again last ween in the judgment affirming ikpeazu's election.
Again,the cancelation were done from the collation points meanwhile the electoral act empowers only the presiding officers to do so at the units and any result emanating from polling units stands except set aside by the courts.
The burden of proof is usually on the petitioner but from the evidences of hope,this shifted to inec which has failed to rebute it.inec never produced any counter results to disprove that of hope.

what was the tribunal and appeal court's basis for dismissing uzodinma's petition?

why are figures like soulemani, baghdadi late Isis leader etc becoming popular in Yorubaland. this calls for concern.

That's a pose

you don't expect someone from our region alleged to have the largest number of incredibly spineless men to behave like KANU. I don't like some of kanus ways but I admire him.

I hate to admit that FFK is right. We have to change that name called Yoruba it's derogatory.

Ibos sha

Biafra everywhere. what is really happening in Nigeria?

it's not much to our honour that fraud, criminality and ritual have become synonymous to our region. we need a value re orientation in yorubaland that will imbibe in our youths the value of hardwork. sometimes I don't blame our youths though because most of our leaders were made from this.

TRIGITIS:
Uzoma, at least one good news about them from obodo oyibo.

pls let's talk more about ourselves. let's highlight the positive impact of our Diaspora community on their host country, if any.

Not like I hate and always criticize our people but I have to ask, why do we always have those Ibos in mind when conducting our own affairs?

Who else noticed how Unified, Patrotic, common feelings, and common purpose of Zeal to Fight Back among Nigerians during this xenophobia in South Africa?

Many people were proud to be a Nigerian for ones after witnessing how our citizens reacted online and physically to the killings of their Countrymen in South Africa, even before the FG response. This is a sign that Nigerians still love themselves and can still turn things around for good if they can careless about which tribe becomes the president and care more about what the would be President or Elected person will do to stop rapping of the Nigerian Entity.

If we can show the same spirit like the one we showed during this recent xenophobic attack on Nigerians in South Africa, we would banish tribalism and take our country back from the evil few rapping the Nigerian entity as quoted by Prof Utomi in his book titled "WHY NOT"

A nation is a stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, history, ethnicity, or psychological make-up manifested in a common culture. A nation is more overtly political than an ethnic group; it has been described as "a fully mobilized or institutionalized ethnic group"

to the best of my knowledge Northerners and some of us Yoruba's mocked Ibos .

Ironically and shamefully, the looting of South African businesses in Nigeria took place only here in south west and not in the East who were mostly victims of xenophobia.

unless you're obsessed with unity you wouldn't see one were there isn't.

Are the igbo's having any war with South Africa?
South Africa is having issues with Nigeria and not a sub-section.
South Africa going to that length to raise that ideal in UNGA just to get back on Nigeria, will only create more enemy and and problem for them.

How?

Belmot:
Sometimes it really hard to imagine the kind of brain you guys have. Your level of reasoning is baffling.. South Africa to support Viagra or biafra to get back at Nigeria. I no you are not aware there are sececionists movement in South Africa too. Go and read about Orania republic.

quit being abusive! the question the op asked is "what if".

For we observing Nigeria from within, you could easily see the country as a giant super power with a powerful army. This is because Nigeria is established to be better suited at quelling and descending heavily on internal decent.

Nigeria doesn't have strong footing to take any bold decision with serious ramification on another country's interest as a result of its ethnic fault lines and strong separatist sentiment being harboured by its section.

why did we deny recalling our high commissioner after a day and instead became defensive of south Africa? why did we give out bakassi without a single confrontation?

its not about answering Africa's giant but knowing your weaknesses and avoiding them before a 'David' takes you down.

Only God will deliver my people.

Where really is our president?

FarahAideed:
But Buhari no go reach embassy

They said buhari is there.

what he said may sound bizzare but true.

Many people in Nigeria and precisely here in west who over-react when Ibo guys commit crime involving large amount of money do so because of jealousy and not because crime is bad. many of them have criminal tendencies and wish they were the ones making such money. I know my people.

Every ethnic group have criminals. There are Ibo guys into crime and there are very many of our people involved in crime albeit not successful to attract significant attention. most trusted people I deal with here in osogbo are Ibos.

we must seriously rise to condemn crime for what is and not for petty reasons that some are more successful. That's crazy!

These guys have guts though
Imagine if we helped sowore like this...my people dey fall hand sha.

who has cursed my people to be more Ibo than Yoruba.
