Gbagura:
I don't know why British forced us to join Nigeria. We (Ẹ̀gbá) first caught civilization before others to the point of having an independent government. Why those stupid whites forced we Ẹ̀gbás with the rest of Nigeria is what I don't comprehend.


Nonsense colonialists
Seems your position isn't the popular one amongst your kinsmen......even from as far back as the time of Awo. You had a window of opportunity to extract yourselves from Nigeria when the owners of Nigeria (the Fulani) had their hands full trying to subdue the 'pesky' Igbo! As things stand today, it would be even harder for any progressive/liberal ethnicity to leave 'one Nigeria', as their ranks have now been infiltrated by too many greedy, self-centred dolts ever ready to kow-tow to the wishes of the muslim core north for pecuniary or political gain.

Far be it from me to want to rain on una parade on this thread, but you really are childishly defensive in a self-destroying way!

If you speak to most Igbo, they will tell you Zik made his mistakes especially with regards to relegating his region behind his obsession with nationalism and 'one Nigeria'!

You say Zik 'tried to give the nation to Igbo' in the 60s? How was the fortunes of Nigeria during this time? How was the fortunes of your Yoruba kinsmen during this time...especially when compared with their fortunes today?

'Zik tried to give Nigeria to Igbo', but Awo succeeded in giving Nigeria to the Fulani! Can you mention how Ziks' people are feeling it worse than what the Yoruba are feeling in the Fulani controlled Nigeria of today......a hegemony and oligarchy Awo helped sustain and solidify? Just what was he thinking?

Keep deceiving yourself
Zik wasn't smart enough
He always wanted Igbo domination in a "one Nigeria" but then Fulani were smarter
Wasn't it zik that joined with the Fulani for a ceremonial presidency??

EzeNri:
Yoruba is not a tribe but a political alliance to give minority tribes in the West like real Yorubas (Oyo), Ijebus, Aworis, Egba, Ilajes majority status.

None of those mentioned above are Yorubas.

Yoruba media is just blackmailing them and forcong Yorubaness (Oyo) down their throats.

Why are you shouting?

According to your Ooni, Igbos are the original settlers in Ife ruled by Obatala.

The dude you guys celebrate and venerate as a god is actually Igbo, according to our history and Ife's history.

There are abroginal Igbos in Ife today.

Egbas have more ancestral link to Nri than Oduduwa.
