The answer is simple,
The Fulanis have an age long plan,
The other tribes are just in Nigeria to make their politicians rich, no cohesion, just going along for a ride, hence their territory keeps shrinking as the decades roll by,
Whole villages will be taken over,
The dumb indigenous people are being told to abandon their age old ethnicity and embrace Nigeria, Infact as the years goes by, words like Biafra, Oduduwa etc will be totally frowned upon, while Fulanis will keep promoting theirs,
Most have unconsciously accepted their slavery with the usual "God will help us"

There is nothing overwhelming about the evidence you think you have. It all depends on where you look. Being a typically modest and understated people, they are not one to blow their trumpets. From aviation, to business, to politics however - they're dominant and you cannot simply attribute that to instinct without intelligence.

In the U.K, the government keeps records of educational abilities by ethnic group. Igbo blow every other tribe in Africa out of the water while Hausa/Fulani are near the bottom. Over a large sample size, educational attainment can be used as a proxy for IQ.

Maybe if you separate Fulani from Hausa, the score will be higher. But so far there is no evidence that Fulani are smarter than other groups. They dominate Nigeria through tribal nepotism, in group trust, and endogamy.

The only flaw I see in the Igbo mindset is this seeming inability to remove morality from all political calculations.
Evil rules this world, but Igbo people are slaves to righteousness.
Only God can save them.

Righteousness?

Do you have any reference or link to that claimed record?

Not true, Fulani herdsmen slaughter Yoruba like chickens and most of your Kings and Elders grovel and beg instead of fighting back. In Illorin, Yoruba have been reduced to an almost Hausa-like status.

You're making an error of generalisation. The killer herdsmen are only a tiny group that formed themselves into a militia. Are Yoruba or southerners their only victims? Are herdsmen attacks the only contribution of Fulani to Yorubaland?

Do you know the thousands of Yoruba employed by Dangote and BUA? MRS? Rahamanniyya etc.? Do you know how many jobs Dangote Refinery is creating for Yoruba's and the number of Yoruba multimillionaires that will be created with the spike in real estate values and creation of allied industries in Yorubaland all because of a Fulani man's investment? Why don't you stereotype Fulanis with that positive impact on thousands of Yoruba instead?

The only reason you feel the Yorubas in Kwara have been dominated is simply because of religious affinity with the Fulani and nothing else. They remain a great, independent, effectual, respected & formidable ethnic group.

The only reason the Hausa Fulani controls Nigeria today is because they have the backing of the ENGLISH GOVERNMENT.And that is why i advice my fellow Yorubas to work with the United States ,if we want to have a Yoruba president in 2023,because we all know fulanis wont give up power in 2023,they are power drunk.2023 Will be war ,and LAGOS IS THE BATTLEGROUND,if fulani refuses to give up power.
GOD BLESS THE COMMONWEALTH OF YORUBA KINGDOM

Your whole mentality is monkey-ish. You are bragging about working for a Fulani in your own homeland? Where is the Yoruba Dangote? Where is the Yoruba president? Instead of having your own, you would rather suckle at the breast of another tribe. Lagos alone is over 70% of Nigeria's GDP, but the Yoruba play second fiddle to the impoverished and arid North. And you aren't ashamed.

The Yoruba situation is 10x more pathetic than the Igbo situation. The Igbo is the angry slave, the Yoruba is the happy slave. And your people have had every advantage in Nigeria from the start (ports, guns, outside knowledge) -- while the Igbos are a random landlocked tribe with little contact with the outside world until the 19th century. Yoruba are pitiful.

It was only a matter of time till you resorted to insults. Very predictable. You should have a better grip on your emotions.

The Yoruba Dangote is Adenuga. You can add Otedola to the mix for good measure and they're also creating thousands of jobs across the country including in Hausa Fulani land through their enterprises such as Globacom, Conoil etc.

Lagos State is engaged in a mutually beneficial, strategic alliance with Kebbi State in the "arid North" to fulfill her rice and other food needs while generating revenue and exploiting comparative advantages. That is strategy not slavery.

I cannot help if you're trapped in a slave mentality but I will surely point out obvious facts.

Hausa Fulani have morphed into a single ethnic group through decades of intermarriages and acculturation, however if Dangote's ancestry is traced, it will surely lead you to the Dantata dynasty which is Fulani.

You are a clown. Yoruba should be dominating Nigeria, not playing second fiddle. Your tribe has had literally every advantage. Population, ports, education, contact with the outside world, etc. There is something wrong in the Yoruba mind. I know for certain if the Igbos had the geographic and historical advantages of the Yoruba, they would have made better use of it.

The only reason Hausa people call themselves Fulanis is because of politics and not intermarriages. Even though Scottish people marry English people but Scottish is schottish and English is English.

Igbos marry Yorubas and vice versa but that does not mean the merging of tribes.

Even when the Jews were scattered all over Europe pre 1948, they still identify as jews

I think Yorubas and the North should just forge a national unity and mandate to have one country for themselves. It's obvious that the Yorubas are the only USEFUL allies to the North in the present sociopolitical and economic realities of Nigeria... don't you think so? Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani have more similarities than dissimilarities... Lots of Igbos built their wealth almost single-handedly without help from the Federal government, Yorubas on the other hand had lots of help from the Northern controlled Federal governments as applies to the likes of Alajika, Adenuga, Otedola etc so a nation of exclusively Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani should in an ideal world suffice!

The Fulani will just reduce Yoruba to vassals and slaves the same way they did with the Hausa. These negros are just too monkey-ish. They have bad instincts.

I'm not an Igbo, which should be extremely obvious. Igbos and Yorubas have a similar bullshit low trust culture. The Igbos are more untrustworthy, but the Yoruba have no redeeming qualities. Your people are like Hausas -- designed to be slaves. At least the Igbos aren't cowards. They fought for their freedom, but their bad culture crippled them. Yorubas are content with slavery.

The defeat of Biafra during the Nigerian civil war demonstrates that despite their supposed intelligence and education, Igbos are NOT culturally superior to the Hausa/Fulani, who are the real brains behind Nigeria.

Igbos were not defeated by the Fulani, Igbos were defeated by the British and other western powers, after all, even with your sophisticated weaponry and intelligence, a rag tag army still fought for a good number of years before the war was over ; they only surrendered due to the policy of mass starvation.

If Igbos were superior, they would have won the war.

If Igbos had credible international partners, if mass starvation was not used as a tool of war , if the coastal tribes has not capitulated, Biafrans would have whipped your cow a$$es back to the SAHEL.

Hausa/Fulani rule Nigeria because they are the superior culture.

They rule Nigeria only to the tune of the British and foreign powers. If the UK withdraw their support and intelligence, we will flog your cow a$$es back to the SAHEL

And you know why you are not superior ? Because it takes a certain kind of daftness to transform a promising nation of the size of Nigeria with all its human and natural resources into a failed state aka shit hole. It takes a certain kind of stupidity to achieve this feat.

They have a level trust and coordination that an Igbo or Yoruba could only dream of. You can pay an Igbo man to betray his brother. If an Igbo living abroad sends money back to his family to build a house, that money will be stolen and no house will be built. How can a culture like that win a war? You were betraying each other from day one, and any veteran who fought for Biafra war will admit it.

Betrayal exists amongst all humans under the right conditions, this is a 'dead on arrival' statement.

The Fulani rule you and will always rule you.

We wait and see, knowing that the only option you have to survive is to leech on Nigeria like a parasite - don't forget parasites also die.

Last week the Tigrayans of Ethiopia (who are just 6% of the population) defeated the entire Ethiopian army and several divisions of its Eritrean allies. In 1994, the Tutsi minority of Rwanda (who are just 15% of the population) defeated the Hutu government who are 85% of the country. These examples show that a superior culture will always defeat an inferior culture, no matter its numerical disadvantage.

The Mistake Azikiwe made when he accepted to be Tafawa Balewa’s Powerless Governor General instead of Awolowos offer for Zik to be Prime Minister while Awolowo would serve under him as Minister of Finance was the Mistake of the Century

I read that Kwame Nkrumah was absolutely astonished

Awolowo had wanted to Avoid handing power to Sardauna Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa at all Costs

But again all credit to the North they had insisted on not yet having independence because they were still not ready and from what happened in the decade that followed independence it truly seemed that no part of Nigeria was ready for independence

If Independence had been delayed by 10 years for example even the Civil War May not have been fought
