Southwest is peaceful because southeast is going to take over Aso Rock come 2023. The other clowns should continue to burn anything burnable in their region.

Hahaha! Even the presidency has realised what inhave been posting. I wrote it here yesterday or two days ago that Lagos is the safest and the surrounding states. And after Abuja.

Do not let anyone deceive anyone that Nigeria is not safe. Lagos is very safe. The truth is coming out gradually.

Look at the story of Nigeria, Lagos and SW is the turning point of Nigeria. Biafra war ended the moment Obafemi Awolowo moved. Simple: He told Gowon to cut of food supply to the east. And that was it. But look at SW then, it happened as soon as they United.

The unfortunate thing is that Sunday Ighodo and Gani Adams are trying to separate SW. But as usual, we know they are hungry thugs. Lol. Just watch out. What they want is to cash out. grin

The same with my northern people, Atuki and even Buhari will never kill each other. North and SouthWest will always agree.

Finally, to say Nigeria is safer than 2015 is wrong. But trust me, what Shehu is saying, only people who know the politics of Nigeria can understand it. Not until the north and SW agreed to put Buhari as APC candidate was there peace. Really, I am telling you, these people have agreed again. I can bet it with anyone, SW is producing the presidential candidate, and it is between Tinubu and Osinbajo. I pray it is Osinbajo.

Funny how you guys are comparing insecurity in Lagos and Imo when we should be more concerned about the cause of insecurity in the South and how it affects us all! For how long do you think the SW will remain safer than the SE and SS? For those mocking the SE, it's turn by turn. Once they overrun SE and SS, they are coming for the SW

I don’t buy the B***t from Garuba and we SW’ners understand the game play of the Northerners.

Currently we are the bride that the Igbos and Northerners are trying to court because we are the only card needed by both side to tilt this in their favor and I will explain.

—Nigeria military is currently weak and have been fighting on all fronts. Bandits, Boko Haram, Unknown Gunmen, and etc.

—Nnamdi Kanu already took the step of making it red in the SE, thinking the FG will come and bargain and he can hold them down by burning everything down.

—While that approach may be good, it is not foolproof.
Firstly, the SE as a region is not that important to Nigeria revenue and that’s a fact. The SS have the crude oil installations and if they start blowing pipes and burning everything down, the FG won’t have a choice than to come to bargain.
Secondly, Lagos is another revenue source for Nigeria and the seaports and taxes is a big source to the FG including that Ogun border. If the Yorubas start blowing up the seaports and Lagos airports in uprisings, the FG will come to bargain.

—Also the FG cannot fight a combined South and win easily so they are being careful. That is exactly why they won’t invade Yorubaland when Igboho did Oduduwa rallies coupled with the fact that our governors still have some leadership in them compared to the SE governors.

—Hence based on the above, without the necessary alliance from both the South South militants and the Yoruba extreme radicals, Nnamdi Kanu approach will only bring killings without path to success because SE going up in flames doesn’t affect Nigeria revenue and business can still continue. FG can kill thousands with back and forth win and loses on both side but status quo will still remain. Just count the number of casualties on both side since these UGM started and those deaths we don’t even hear of online.

—I think Kanu also know of the need for this alliance which explained why he has been courting the Oduduwa agitators and looking for Yoruba friendship.

—Also SE governor are useless and have projected themselves as powerless in all this. They don’t have enough courage to tell the FG to stop and don’t have the popularity to weaken Keanu’s influence too so they just left everything to fate.

—Now this is what is still sketchy, can Sunday Igboho heed the call and go militant like ESN? Will he be able to pull that stunt among the Yorubas that are not dogmatic? How long can he burn installations to retain the Yoruba’s loyalty and uncommon sense? Will it be possible looking at the fact that the SW populations doesn’t have that much resentment as a block like the SE’ners have due to the sentiment of Biafra?

Finally, there is one thing I know that I’m 99% sure of. If all these eventually lead to an unexpected war, the Yorubas will not fight on the side of the Northerners.

I’ll just watch as things unfold!

I can bet my left blokos that the Ibo man was killed by his fellow Ibo man in Ibadan. Probably a business or drug deal gone wrong.

Saharareporters just need to catch on the current cruise and tag it Ibo businessman killed in Ibadan to generate traffic.

However the Yorubas have evolved. We don’t waste time on irrelevant news and that was why it doesn’t generate the required traffic and sentiment Saharareporter wanted.

Yes nowhere is safe in Nigeria, but SW is relatively peaceful than SE and that’s a fact. Come on clubhouse and see how Igbos In the SW spoke about them scared of going home to the East currently.Most are in Lagos.

I’ve come to understand that real igbos online are different from those on Nairaland.
They are scared of traveling because of Nigeria police and army and not because of iPob or ESN . What do you mean by real igbos online and those on nairaland being different when you can barely Identify the real identity of anyone on this faceless forum and heaven for hate and propaganda?

I also share your sentiment bro. However I might be wrong in my assessment but I think it will be really hard to turn our back on them or remain neutral in a war at this stage.

If left to me, I will prefer we seal the border like you said and send any Ibo or Northerner back to their region to do whatever they like in their domain. But it won’t be possible considering the recent realities.

Again, I might be wrong in my assessment.
You are wrong in your assessment. Yoruba stays neutral and Igbo should dare not make same stupid mistake ojukwu made by coming towards Lagos. That is the only trick that helped the north win the east.... Both of them should stay off southwest and face themselves.

Yes, another civil war will lead to total disintegration of Nigeria, no escaping at all. The world has changed and as the most populous African country, other Africa country and Europe won’t be able to even contain the refugee crisis.

However let me be the devils advocate, the war would have been going on for one year + before they even know it’s a war and you’re looking at lot of casualties. But in that scenario, people can say the casualties are what we needed for freedom. Infact we are systematically in a war right now.

Not that I’m actually abusing the SE when I said they don’t have that much bargaining power in revenue, it is the reality. Just look at it, what exactly can be destroyed in the SE that will shake and ground Nigeria? Please reply me and I will agree to your answer if it is logical enough.

Lastly, the Yoruba will not be neutral in any war, we won’t. We must take sides because any war in Nigeria will affect the Yoruba so badly so we must take sides. The dynamics have changed, Ibo and Yoruba are now too mixed that it might be near impossible to leave them to their fate. Also Yorubaland is like the sanctuary, if anything happen in Iboland, people will move here to live and it will be nearly impossible for us not to accept them.

Hence, if I am a Yoruba leader, I will be preparing and won’t just sit down and be caught unaware like we were in the 60s. I don’t know how this will end, but if UGM matter escalates in the SE and the SW were also caught in the wave, we can’t be neutral.

The Fulanis have made it certain for a Yoruba-North alliance to be near Impossible.


"The dynamics have changed, Ibo and Yoruba are now too mixed that it might be near impossible to leave them to their fate. Also Yorubaland is like the sanctuary, if anything happen in Iboland, people will move here to live and it will be nearly impossible for us not to accept them"[color=#000000][/color]

I agree and disagree with some of your points above, we are not too mixed with Igbo people. As a matter of fact, our exposure to them begins during the forming of Nigeria as a nation and prior to that, we have been dealing with Hausa for centuries. Look at the Nigeria map, our closest neighbors are the Benin kingdom, Ijaw, Urohbo and other Niger Deltans. However, thru the North central like Kwara, Kogi; we have earlier engagements with the North not because of religion but trade. Our great grand fathers used to say “Awusa lon je obi, Yoruba lo ngbin” The colonialists met this trading routes and built locomotives trains between the North and across the Yoruba cities, even up to the Agege and Ikeja. We have Sabos everywhere in Yorubaland. My grandfather used to say Agege and Ikeja used to be be Kolanut farms.

Agreed things are changing because of our hospitality even in the midst of betrayals, the Yorubas will never go to war along with Igbo. They’re betrayals and power mongers. We are far too different and apart. Yoruba are not power mongers and desperate, and that’s why we yield to elder advice and wisdom because of our natural submissiveness to our leaders. Igbo’s have betrayed us, insulted our institutions and desire to see us retrogressive. They did same to our ancestors and leaders. Awolowo and others were betrayed, they had meeting with him in the day and formed alliance with the North at night during Nigerian formation because of promise to give them power and prime minister. Because they felt Yorubas are educated/united and cannot be pushovers and see Hausas as uneducated and easy to control hence the beginning of coups and conflicts. Not until they taught the Hausa/Fulani the arts of staging coups/power, they preferred the Northerners over us.

Our regional leaders know very well that Igbo’s don’t liked us but we are their saviors/ place of comfort when they fight with the Northerners. That’s going to change with the experience of the last decade of abusive and insults rained on our people. We are not going to war along with Igbo. When things are rosy between them and Hausas, they despise us and encourage the Hausas to hate us. Now , we will never be their ally for war or conflict. If they’re not careful, they will lose spots/everything in the SW entirely. Yorubas are full of rage on the insults and no man’s land posture of the Igbo in our cities.
