Give us a video of ojukwu bragging about razing Yoruba land

Ojukwu won't brag about destroying Yoruba land cause he had a deal with a Yoruba man he freed from prison who became a commander in the Biafran army commander banjo ,
Banjo made a deal to help Biafra and Biafra in turn will help him with oduduwa

Despite seeing videos of Gowon release awolowo your people chose not to believe it so why will any other video do anything

jimyjames:
Until banjo started negotiating secretly with FG armies betraying his master ojukwu, ojukwu executed him , banjo wasn't to be trusted , the same reason obasanjo imprisoned him is the same reason ojukwu executed him for

Good you executed him and you defend it so why attacking Gowon
Banjo knew it was no longer about liberating Biafra but taking over people’s territory

Anyways Gowon gave it you hot
And igbos earned all the fury they got during the civil war
Shey you invaded bendel that was a neutral party Lool

Infact all hail Awolowo the conqueror and finisher of the Biafran war
He revenged the occupation of mid west
He revenged the death of Banjo
He revenged the death of Akintola

And made igbos understand clearly western Nigeria can’t be touched

Until banjo saw Ojukwu installed Igbo man as head of bendel state and knew his plans were not freedom

No one regretted stopping igbos from their expansionist agenda
You were the ones started domination saying other tribes are weak and you lost

To be more apt
Ojukwu bragged about razing Yoruba land in 2 days and called them cowards

By the Yoruba was done with Igbo till today igbos can’t forget Awolowo

myobjective:
But some local government with this oil resource can also agitate to have an independent local government due to greed, where we will stop.

The only reason, I want Nigeria restructure is to unlocked the potential of some lazy Nigeria states

All fingers are not equal
Regionalism is the best let each region decide how they want to sort their power

socialmediaman:
Is this topic really about PDP vs APC? Don’t forget APC would not be elected if Nigerians wanted to keep the status quo. Let’s keep the discussion about policy and not party

I’m sure you want only state to continue because your from an oil producing state and you want the funds to be enjoyed by your state lol

Nowenuse:
Yorubas are like 60-65% christian in my opinion. Although they would have been predominantly Muslim or 50/50 if not for strong evangelism and missionary work.

Very correct 55% to 65% Christians
But having studied their history
Religion has never played a role in their culture
Infact the attempt by Afonja to use religion to attack Oyo ended up backfiring it was Fulani used ethnicity to claim throne

And their colonial masters were Christians so it’s next to impossible for Muslims to be majority in Yoruba land

Nowenuse:
Why do people usually think that Osun has a higher Muslim percentage than Oyo?

Osun East is overwhelmingly Christian, while the other parts have a significant Christian minority (like 25-30 %).
Osun is more like a 50/50. It is Oyo that clearly has more Muslims.

Overall the fact only 2 Yoruba states have a majority Muslim population out of 8 Yoruba speaking areas already tells you they are a majority christain tribe

9jakool:
The last governor of Ondo just like the last governor of Osun were both born into mixed Christian-muslim families. Mimiko ended up being Christian and Aregbesola became Muslim.

What makes Ogun 55% muslim as opposed to just half which I can give you.

You could say 75% of Ilorin is muslim NOT 75% of Kwara. Kwara is more than just Ilorin. In Kwara, there are predominantly Christian Ekiti area near the border with Kogi.

Osun State is NOT 70% muslim. The Ijesa, Igbomina and Ife areas of the state are predominantly Christians and they constitute 1/2 of the state's population.

I know for a fact ogun is not a Muslim majority state far from it lol even Lagos

The only state muslims are more then xtain is Kwara by 70%

Also remember osun is home to a lot of traditionalist worshipping Yorubas

9jakool:
I would flip Oyo and Osun. I would say Osun is more 50-50 and not majorly muslim. Oyo on the other hand would be slightly more muslim. Osun is divided into Oyo, Ibolo, Ife, Ijesha and Igbomina areas which is why I laugh at the people who say it's a "core Yoruba state". Ijesha, Igbomina, and Ife areas have more christians than muslims and only the Oyos (in places like Iwo and Ede) are more muslim. Osogbo is more like 50-50.

Oyo state is a more complicated as it's a very big state with very populated centers. Muslims are more concentrated In central Ibadan and christians are more in the outer areas which is where you would find the megachurches. The Ibarapa area and Ogbomosho of the state is more christian, but you would still find muslims as well. In Oke Ogun (western Oyo state), the people there are more muslims than christians.

Even if you flip it the Christian number is still more

myobjective:
But I am Yoruba from birth, would you know Yoruba more than I do?

Ondo and Ekiti state is the only Christian majority state in the southwest and even in these state particularly in Ondo state, Muslim is still a majority in the Akoko axis a geopolitical zone with like four local government, there sizeable Muslim in Ondo town and Owo. Muslim will be at least 25% to 30% of Ondo state. The last governor of the state was a Muslim by birth.

Oyo is the most populous state by the indigenous population in the south-west, they are a majority Muslim state 60%

Osun state are majority Muslim state 70%

Ogun 55%

Lagos is hard to call but among Yoruba there, about 45% should be Muslim.

Since around 75% of Kwara population is Yoruba, Muslim should 75% of the Yoruba populprodominatle

Kogi west is predominantly Christians

Lagos & ogun isn’t hard to call at all there are simple more christains there, remember most of the Yorubas in Lagos aren’t from Lagos they are mostly ogun and ondo who are already christains


Oyo And Osun is the only state Yorubas Muslims are sizeable and even with Your statistics there are still more Christains and there’s no way osun is 70% even with a 70% osun Muslims lol (I served in osun it’s fairly balanced there ) the christains are still more

Also remember ogun has surpassed Oyo in terms of economic development so I doubt if it’s still the most populous indigenous settlement for Yorubas


So with Lagos ogun ondo ekiti kogi west being predominantly Christian based on your statistics

Osun and kwara being predominantly Muslim based on your statistics
And Oyo being fairly split

Your Christain population is still more

I know that’s why I said Oyo and Osun are the only Yoruba states where Muslims are up to 40%

I have lived in Abeokuta ijebu Oyo ilorin Akure and Lagos

I have lived among Yorubas since I was little I know them inside out

VaughnSangrey:
Yorubas regardless of ethnicity have their interests are aligned. Northern christians are hateful, distrustful and hypocritical. Ultimately counter intuitive towards consensus northern objectives.

Yup Yorubas all go for one at once
They all rallied for Abiola a Yoruba muslim
They all rallied against Obj (a xtain) then supporter him again 2023 as a collective
They all supported awolowo for presidency

That’s the one thing I forever respect Yoruba for

Even ilorin an emirate still has the same thing

deboysben:
On a fair play it's igbo turn.

Any tribe that will stand against that is an enemy of this country.

Love and unity we want.

But I thought ibo want to pay back Yoruba 2023
I’m happy you people are now having sense
You need almajiri and Afonja votes period

No o Igbo is busy trying to pay back Yoruba by being VP under fulfude Atiku 2023

Guestuser:
Yes. Yoruba is 100% Christians

Like I said I don’t mean any harm and I know you guys are one Yoruba isn’t 100% Christain nor muslims

enemybulldozer:
name one yoruba activist.let start from there

How about you name one Igbo activist ?

Apart from independence struggle by Azikwe
What have igbos really done in Nigeria
Did you fight to end northern rule of Nigeria
Did you fight for democracy
Absolutely nothing
Just playing hyena in polictics since 1960s
Very useless

Guestuser:
You have time sha .
You should leave that dumbass to continue spewing his trash.
It makes him feel good.

Having lived in Yoruba land myself

I don’t mean to cause any divide but Yorubas are still a majority Christain group
Lagos - has more Yoruba Christians than Yoruba muslims with a significant gap
Ogun - has more Christian with a significant gap most Muslims here are ijebu (Egba Awori yewa) are xtains
Ekiti - you sef know they are majorly Christains
Ondo- you sef know they are majorly Christains
Oyo - Oyo is very much split ile kewu and aladura are every where I can’t say who has more but whoever has more is more like 51% to 49% for argument sake let’s say Muslims
Osun - Osun has a majorly muslim population but with a minor lead over christains
Kwara - it’s the opposite mirror of ondo majorly Muslims
Kogi west - majorly Christains Infact 99% I have been to kabba myself

I know you guys don’t divide yourself based on religion but it’s my observation

Yorubas are still majorly Christians group with a significant Muslim population however all of you still visut babalawo for juju so nobody takes Yoruba Muslims or Christians serious and you still intermarry each other

IgboSomalia:
The funny thing with you Igbos is that you keep insulting others but when others retaliate in kind, the entire Ohaneze would start crying.

This is how they insulted northerners before they were given quit notice. That was when I knew Igbos understood Hausa very well. Come and see Igbo Chiefs and Professors begging those they called illiterates in the North. Imagine the entire Ohaneze begging Al Mustapha.

Or they will report to MOD
The same Igbo is still begging Hausa for 2023

Ndibunna:
Oh you even take them serious.

Don't next time.

They can't do nada even IBB confirmed that.

You know Gowon confirmed Igbo cowardice right ?

It’s Atiku vs Tinubu 2023.

Crofton:
True, the moment he excludes all South South States from his agenda, it'd be a lot easier for him .

My own why can’t they be like Yorubas that want a Yoruba only nation across SW+ Kwara and Kogi west

I don’t see Yoruba saying Edo or ishekiri must join them by force

Loool the runaway coward

socialmediaman:
Regionalizing still concentrates too much power at the center of the region. You mentioned this earlier

Nope it doesn’t each region will determine how they want to share there power

It’s like saying state concentrates too much power on capitals

socialmediaman:
I understand that Nigeria’s budget is less than the budget of Texas. But my point is, distributing oil wealth among every state is counterproductive. We’re literally financing laziness because most states have abandoned their revenue generation models for oil money. Tourism is dead in cities like Plateau, while agriculture is barely surviving in cities like Benue.

Which part of me said it’s a good thing
I said we should regionalise not use state independence

socialmediaman:
Some US states are poor, it’s okay for some states In Nigeria to be poor if they don’t have means to generate enough revenue. What happens is that most of their citizens will leave to other commercial cities, but also, cost of living would be low which is attractive to people working remotely, or manufacturing companies who need cheaper manufacturing costs.

Also, politicians are living beyond their means, that’s why their states are not viable. They pay themselves outrageous salaries and allowances and loot the funds meant for development, they also refuse to tax the rich like themselves

Are you aware Nigeria is not up to one state in USA and you can’t compare the wealth and status of USA with Nigeria

For me regionalism is the best

socialmediaman:
Rather than having regional governments like you suggested which could give too much power to regional governments, how about having states act as their own entities within the country, which means we have 36 independent entities. That way it’s difficult to concentrate power on any region.

My suggestion then is, should each state not control its own resources and FG focuses of federal tax income?

That will be disastrous cause scale brings about savings
Also a lot of Nigerian states are not viable
So why tell them to be on their own

We should go back to regionalism jeje
All the igbos to one region (igbos outside SE)
All the Yorubas to one region ( Yoruba outside SW)
All the hausa Fulani to one region
all northern minorities one region all southern minorities one region

However with regionalism comes possible disunity we must check ourselves remember how ojuku tried to destabilize Nigeria because he had an entire region under his control
