Before he joined Arewa in 2014 did he not mobilised SW votes for Jonathan in 2011, while his own presidential candidate,Ridadu lost in all SW states except in Osun. What was SW benefits on Jonathan ascension? did SW leaders not complained on marginalisation and met with Jona on it. Obasanjo that practically made him president got rubbished, making Baba to retire permanently from politics

How will you feel if someone that you gave your unflinching support to become No. 1 now starts calling you a rascal.

I am not Tinubu fan but can only imagine what likely influenced his 2014 alliance.

Lmfao....


Not when Tinubu sabotaged SW.

PDP literally zoned the Speaker of House of Representatives to South West. Mulikat Akande was picked. GEJ gave the approval. We know what happened

Now, what good has Tinubu’s 2014 alliance with Arewa fetched your SW region?
Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail lines. What next?

I held back tears as I read this.

This is deep.... Very very deep.

It is now or never cos the North is not ready to restructure hence disintegration is the only way we can truly emancipate ourselves.

And we are here on Nairaland fighting E wars when we should unite and free ourselves.

Joker you held back crocodile tears reading this fable from papa that is suffering from demented amnesia? Maybe you were too young to know that Awolowo’s number one enemy was Akintola his Kinsman, then followed closely by Nnamdi Azikiwe his arch rival? Only one can rule from the south either Igbo, or Yoruba. Choose your poison chalice. All these so called Southern Unity, na youthful mumurism.

Wen did Igbos and afonjas started this hood romance?
Or when did Igbos and afonjas started husband and wife Joli Joli
Mak every godamn person answer his or her father's name jare.
I knew that a day will come that afonjas will change their tune.
A day would come that afonjas will start shouting a United South.
A day would come that afonjas will start shouting Odudua we stand and Biafra will stand.
So all this romance started bcs their selfish interest was not met?
I thought afonjas said that West and North are brothers? So where did the brotherhood gone to?
Afonjas are changing dimension bcs they have started feeling the hit small small.
Nobody dey separate from the zoo,all of us go dey here enjoy the Fulani oligarchy

baboons in the east have always been the problem of the south because of the Igala and benin mixed blood in them anyway dere is nothing like igbo

Bini Igala ijaw ibibio are the ancestors of most igbos

Yoruba will never unite with drug dealers. Just like how Ladoke Akintola rejected the ibos and chose the north, we the Yorubas love the north and reject the ibos.

Only Yoruba and Fulani will rule this country in the mighty name of Jesus.

Tinubu for president in 2023, then a northerner in 2031, then babatunde fashola in 2039.

The money loving coup plotters that killed tafawa balewa must not be allowed to rule again.

Dan Bayerebe..

The questions Igbos should be asking Yoruba people singing and screaming southern unity ..

What will southern unity benefits igbos...

Why now .. and even all of sudden .. southern unity

Why is the baba talking now after years.. the man is lying.. he’s just looking for front for emotional blackmail..
Why didn’t Awolowo public announce this..

Awolowo lived his trying fighting to separate igbos from southern minorities..
Yoruba have been doing .. and more before every elections

Today Yoruba people are screaming southern unity and some igbos are falling for this

Are yoruba people united in Yoruba land

How is yoruba Muslim dealing with Yoruba Christians .. in same Yoruba land .. talk more southern unity

Same Yoruba mock igbos on how they can never rule Nigeria .. same Yoruba people are telling us that any southerner that vote for a Northerner is a fool?
Same Yoruba are supporting Tinubu and osibanjo as southernerra

Why cant same Yoruba forget their ambitions and support igbos for presidency since no southerners are forbidden to vote Northerners

Yoruba are stylishly positioning the south to vote Tinubu or osibanjo.. that’s what they call political Sophistication.. same Yoruba will turn to abuse and mock you

There’s no aboki enemy anywhere .. it was same Yoruba that brought Fulani and bandits to Nigeria .. same Yoruba now wan use igbos brain to geh President.. why are they not shouting unity with ijaw a and southern minorities.. because they know say where igbos go are where this people will go..

Igbos should wake up .
Southern unity is Yoruba way of fightin Apc in case they deny Tinubu ticket ..

Na very huge blackmail

Akintoye does not care about your Nigeria presidency.

donnie:


Akintoye does not care about your Nigeria presidency.

Who will make this man President? President of what actually? The same people that destroyed Nigeria, are deceiving some gullible blind minded youths.

seunaj:

Your mumu started when you failed to realize that a Yoruba man will rather give you a Biafra than a fulani infested north to give you independence over their dead body. A Yoruba man will never call you a dot on the circle under any circumstances. You are a reflection of the mumusm of the igbos by failing to understand that they need an alliance to achieve their independence. Go and form the alliance with the hausas then! Mumu set of people!

Make Yoruba man give themselves odua republic and make Tinubu President

Yoruba ke..

Even APC nairaland SW chapter supported the emergence of Tambuwal against Mulikat Akande from Oyo state.

MadamVanessa:
True.

The uncircumcised north cannot divide us again.


They're smart enough to shield their own terrorists , defend their own terrorists at any given opportunity.

But the south will spite on people who fight for their emancipation. Tell me any crime committed by MNK and Igboho? Tell me i want to know. But it was so sad to see even our southern brothers rejoice over the kidnapped of MNK and Igboho house raid.

When shekau was killed by Iswap, how many northerners rejoice over shekau's death despite several years of terror unleashed by this shekau on them? Gumi is collecting a huge amount of money to bandits everyday and this fulani government is so happy paying any amount needed by Gumi.

Southern Nigerians should wise up, let's rise and fight this common enemy.

Did Awolowo tell you this before 2015 presidential election when it was as if Igbo's & Yoruba's were fighting a war in all parts of the world. Abegi shift

jneutron4000:
Awolowo did not tell you such Prof. Yoruba can never work with Ibo. Even Akintola made a video to warn Yoruba against them.

That prof wants to wake Awo up with his lies.

As a sign of good faith, the South West needs to work with South East to produce an Igbo President.

True, that's if they are both genuinely ready for emancipation. If the Igbo then renege afterwards, then we should all continue like this.

ChangedMan1999:


Before the two tribes can unite, one needs to leave the 2023 presidential position for the other.

Honestly I don't think the igbos care about the presidency otherwise who is their frontman?

Any igbo working with Yoruba and screaming southern unity is a huge efulefu..

Yoruba will still apply tufaced diplomacy at anytime convenient for them without looking una side.

It’s all about their interest and will mock you guys just as they’ve been doing
EHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF SOUTHERN UNITY WITH YORUBA MAN..TO AN IGBO MAN

SAME YORUBA TELLS YOU .. IGBOS CANT RULE NIGERIA .. SAME YORUBA INSULTS UNA SENSIBILITY DAILY ..

SAME YORUBA DEY FRONT OSIBANJO AND TINUBU FOR PRESIDENT UNDER SOUTHERN UNITY
WHY CANT YORUBA SUPPORT YOU IGBOS FOR PRESIDENT IN 2023..
WHY CANT TINUBU WITHDRAW FROM ME 2023 RACE AND SUPPORT AN IGBO MAN..

SOUTHERN UNITY IS YORUBA PLAYING POLITICS WITH IGBO EMOTIONS .. WHICH WILL END IN IGBOS CALLING YORUBA BETRAYALS AND YORUBA TELLIG IGBOMAN HOW SOPHISTICATED HE IS..
IGBOS SHOULD WAKE FROM THIS DECIET.. EVEN IF .. LET THERE BE AN AGREEMENT TO EXFECT SOUTHERN UNITY.

Wise men are from east .. but this generation of igbos are careless about a lot of things
Why didn’t he said all this before..

Nothing like southern unity with Yoruba ... infact saying Awolowo held your hand and talk nonsense is an insult to igbos..

Careless humans with their cunning mentality

WILL KEEP OPPOSING THE IDEA OF IGBOS UNITY WITH YORUBA PEOPLE

OIL AND WATER CANT MIX... TOMORROW WILL JUSTIFY THIS STAND.

Onye choro ga Yoruba rie ya.. eri e ya.. after all .. onye aghogburu ka Erie...

Till yoruba people que behind an igboman for President any other thing Na noise and pretence to position their own..

Tinubu wey no go fit campaign in the east and south will use southern unity crap to come.. and still go mEcca to hug his masters

Walai they thing belike dem Jazz igbos

Southern unity with Yoruba people to what advantages to an Igbo man?

To fight aboki... which aboki?

Igbo make una geh sense... Na so Ojukwu been the hail Awolowo and his partner..

Ojukwu wAke late... this generation is about going same way..

WHY BE SAY NA ONLY YORUBA THE MENTION ...
IM NOT HERE FOR NAIRALAND LIKES .. I SPEAK THE TRUTH AND IS PAINFUL

SOUTHERN UNITY IS DEAD .. YORUBA CUNNY HAVE FAILED BEFORE THE START

You are on point brother. Those people are two faced. They are afraid that other region. Are beginning to collaborate with the north they are afraid to lose federal appointment. Rubbish

To the uninitiated, this is more than apt.
If you don't agree with an Igbo man, you are his enemy.

Sweeetheart:
I pray the new found love between Igbo and Yoruba last because Igbo can be so mean but you're good if you're in line with their submission, no thanks to those dumb Fulani that want to eat their cake and have it



they will start embracing the same Awolowo they've been calling names, even some said MNK that had killed hundreds of Igbo through his 17th century approach is better than Awolowo



you will never see SS and SW fight or change tantrum because the duo believe in respect on individual decision unlike Igbo that want to force you to line behind his beliefs, decision and opinion, no wonder they're compared with Fulani. different people but same character

Well, as much as i would like to believe Prof Akintoye as a casual observer of Nigeria's history, i would note that it is funny Awo said this.

In my view, as much as i hold Awo in high regard for a lot of things he did, the man was far from perfect and had his failings as any normal human being.

I have often criticised his role in the Biafra war particularly the policy of starvation against Biafra. Some may argue it is all fair in love and war but that was extreme and alot of innocents who played no role in the coup died for no reason.

However, the worst for me was the 20 pound rule and the economic isolation policy that Nigeria, under Awo's leadership (take note Awo was Coordinating Minister of Economy under Gowon and the 2nd most powerful man in that administration).

Now according to rumours, Awo was promised the North's support for presidency whenever democracy was restored. This same Northern elements truncated his ambition using other Yoruba men (Obasanjo and Abiola). So i guess baba finally realised in 1984 what he knew all along to be true since the 1950s, that the Hausa-Fulani were not good faith actors and they always hated his guts.

And i guess in hindsight, we all can see Ojukwu was right for wanting to seceed at the time, never mind his ulterior motives. And the craziest part of this is Awo was always for regional government, states built around sub-ethnic groups and so forth, why not throw his full weight behind Ojukwu, at that point he had nothing to lose. Well, i guess baba took the shortcut and in his latter years he must have realised just how treacherous and devious these northern elements were.

ShadowCracker:
I am open-minded to anything.

if working with Igbo's will get us Yoruba nation quicker, fine by me.

But they should remeber "No permanent Friends, or Enimies, Just permanent interests".

All regions are OYO nothing like alliance

Will you keep quiet??
