"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.


God bless you abundantly

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.

—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?

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!
Nice analysis bro, I sincerely do hope this your statement @bolded holds true.

I had to agree.

Nnamdi has turned SE particularly Imo state to another Borno state.

Maybe he thinks he is doing buhari but he is grounding economic strength of the zone and sending investors away.

The idiot himself have no single investment even in his father's compound in Abia state.

By the time he is done, business will be on low scale in the zone.

He is a disaster calling himself messiah.

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.
I think we should be wary of this staying neutral position. What if the SE Succeeds, we then latch on to their victory and claim we want our sovereignty too? Why can't we decide what we want once and for all? Are we comfortable being in any union with the north, with or without the SE? Deep down, we know we are not comfortable being in any such union. Let's stand up and do the needful

By the way I have a question my Anambla friend.

—I am planning to go to the erosion ravaged region to take 3 hairy chested yam legged girls I’ve been conversing with on Facebook to Lagos. To say the truth, they don’t need my money, they just want to leave Iboland by fire by force so when they heard Lagos, they begged me to buy 1 and get 2 free.

Now this is my dilemma, what state should I come in Iboland that’s peaceful so that I won’t be another victim of unknown gunmen? Please advise me as a friend

Please don’t mention Imo, coz that mad man in my earlier story chose Imo and I don’t want to follow a mad man thinking.

The de facto president of Nigeria, Garba Shehu, basking in the euphoria of one region of his country being the safest zone in his country. Foolishness.

The eastern region used to be the safest zone until recently when Garba Shehu’s Presidency started to unleash Nigeria’s armed forces against innocent civilians in the east. Unknown gunmen, unarguably, Islamic extremists, would strike in the east, leave the scene. No police or army would intercept the unknown gunmen. But after the unknown gunmen had left, Nigeria armed forces would swarm the scene and start to shoot and kill innocent passersby, capture some innocent civilians and parade them as unknown gunmen from IPOB.
Deceptive ways on how to fight a Jihad.


Buhari told a huge crowd of Moslems in Kaduna in 2001 that he would not stop fighting until Islamic Sharia criminal justice system is applied in all the states of Nigeria.

That was the ideology in the 60s, guess what the north did? They first sent a number of battalion(s) to the West to cower us into subjection, securing the west, before launching attack on the East. (Unfortunately I can't remember in which of the civil war memoirs I read this). Sitting on the fence is not always the best option.

I cannot understand why people quarrel with this man.This can only be from a totally psychotic and senile mind.And debating with with any northerner about the state of affairs in the nation or the possibility of Nigeria breaking up is like arguing with a man who is senile and mad at the same time.They all have the same mind set.The mendacity and falcity of Islam has so much damaged their minds that their reasoning is ALWAYS beyond logic,,facts, truth or common sense.If you analyse muric in the South West you will understand what I mean.It is we in the South that must know what we really , and resolutely go for it.The northerners know what they want and they undauntedly going for it,even though foolishly.People are gearing war.Which war ? Can the North fight and win against any region in the South without another southern region aiding it?Or can the north take on all the southern regions at same time and win?Go and ask Soviet Russia ,Yugoslavia,Czhekoslovakia and others.Common Boko Haram they can't fight even along with southern efforts.Oh Southerners to go or not to go is firmly in your hands.
