| Why The Yoruba Must Quickly Unite With The Igbos by referendum01(op): 7:31am On Aug 26, 2021 |
I feel really compelled to make contributions towards the very suspecious, scary and unfolding events taking place in Nigeria today under the APC government. Let me make a few point very clear before I proceed. First, I don't belong to any political party not APC nor PDP or any other. My reason is simple, I don't believe in this crop of politicians. They are too clueless for my liking. They are mafias, rogues and complete empty heads, so I don't find them worthy of deserving my vote. This is a personal opinion and i owe nobody any apology for that. Secondly, this contribution is not for Fulani and the buharists to feast on. They must steer clear and allow people with brains and a level of sanity to put forward their comments devoid of hate and malicious intentions. Thirdly, for everyone that will come across this post, please read it with open mind. Put aside sentiments, be objective with your comment and see things for what they are even though I meant end up being called unity begger. I have lived in Yoruba land now for about 21 years. I have Yorubas as friends, I equally had them as course mates back in school days. I do business with them and i look forward to more fruitful relationship with them. I admire their spirit of hospitality and humility. But the truth I must say to the Yorubas without any iota of bias whatsoever. Honestly, my Yoruba brothers must be told a few truth given the present goings in the country. They must be reminded that the Fulanis are fully out to undermine and overrun Nigeria. I have heard many of them argue how it is not possible and how APC is the best party in Nigeria not until late. The opportunity in question here for these killers to overrun Nigeria no doubt, has already been established by the Yoruba race. How? True the infiltration of their ranks with the religion of Islam. For the fact that a large chunk of Yorubas are sympathetic to Islam is a dangerous handshake that must be checked with all seriousness. Secondly, I have noted with serious concern the Yoruba penchant for preferring a Northern president than an Igbo president. Take for example, there has been a loud advocacy by prominent Northerners that an Igbo president succeeds Buhari in 2023 for fairness and equity. Whether that is political or not but at least we have heard them say it. Unfortunately, I have never heard any Yoruba elite coroberate same instead the Yorubas have been at the for front of stylishly packaging Tinubu, Osinbanjo and canvassing for Fashola or Fayemi to succeed Buhari. Let me make it very clear, the Yorubas should not make themselves the enemies of the Igbos. If they do, they will be at the losing end. Space will fail me to explain this but lets leave it at that. They just shouldn't. It doesn't take anything away from them to for once support Igbo presidency in the spirit of brotherhood. The Yorubas must stop being cunny with the Igbos. They must not be politically correct at all times. Said that, am sure everyone can perceive the dangerous wave of things in our national life today. We need not be told that the coming days are heavily pregnant and no one knows what it will deliver. The fulanis are bent on unleasing heal in Nigeria in their quest to conquer and dominate others. I posted a very short piece yesterday calling on the South to be prepared and I meant every call in that short piece. I have no reason to doubt the readiness of the Igbos including the Niger Deltans in the event of any emergency in Nigeria. I trust those guys with everything in me, you can take this to the bank for free. Unfortunately, I do not think same about the Yorubas. This is the more reason why they must quickly unite with their brothers in the East now because tomorrrow may be too late. Igbos have fought war in the past at least for three solid years, they understand a little about war and so can stand any invasion for as long as it can take. They did it between 1967-70 anyone who thinks they can't do much better now is only fooling himself. This contribution is not born out of hatred for anybody. I love my Yoruba brothers. But they must shake up, do the needful. I need them to be more reasonable. For once, forge alliance with their Eastern brothers and put aside their handshake with the North which will consume them if not checked immediately. I am happy for the Southern governors meeting which have begun in earnest. We expect more of it and hope that there are no sabotours and cunny devils among them who spill every details of the meeting to their Fulani masters because we really need to come together and ensure that evil wicked caliphate burns to ashes. Another way the unity between the Yoruba's and the Igbos can be strengthened is for our online warriors who are specialists in attacking one another Igbo and yoruba to stop the attacks, rather use their time online to put forward pieces that can inform, educate as well as aid the unity of the whole South. The unity must begin now and in earn in earnest. |

Yorubas and Igbos can't unite.
Yoruba Muslims are inseperable from Hausa/Fulanis.
Yorubas are eyeing 2023, Nigeria burning is non of their business. Igbos should mind their business |

Are Igbos and Yorubas enemies in real life? Are the Igbo politicians and Yoruba politicians enemy to each other? If you have lived peaceful in Yoruba land for 21 years, then which unity again should Yorubas seek from Igbos? And btw, what would unity with Igbo change in the current political situation in the country? |

LAI LAI...... Didnt bother to read your epistle But NEVER We have not always had same voting pattern....and wont start now We have not always supported the same ideologies....and wont start now Ibos behaviour towards yorubas since 2015 have also made your suggestions impossible.. Your role in burning down Lagos is still fresh(how kanu ordered his ibo foot soldiers mostly traffic gala hawkers and alaba touts to destroy tinubu and sanwo olu properties ) Need i go into history of how your leaders always go opposite of where yoruba goes .....always supporting fulanis so that yorubas dont get to power...we endured and when we finally formed a government at the centre you were bittered and have vowed never to make the government work not just because you hate buhari but you couldnt accept the fact that yorubas are a part of this government while you are relegated. It pains you people more that yorubas are in government than the way it pains you that buhari is president Never will we unite.....at least not now |

They are betrayals and Fulani Asslickers. They have been joining forces with the North since independence. They prefer to vote and form alliance with the North than to associate with their fellow Southerners. See what happened in the first, second , third republics and the first coup. That should be a warning to you op. No responsible omoluabi will associate with them. Don't you see how they turned their land to Afghanistan....IPOB and Taliban are competing for top shot on global terrorists list . No respect for human life and security forces in their domain. When policemen are killed, don't you see how they rejoice and their elders will keep quiet calling themselves unknown gunmen . They never like Yoruba despite our hospitality. Every available time and space , they insult us, call us names even among the educated ones. Their forefathers have planted hatred in them, so it will not change anything. Every available opportunity , Tinubu that never govern them is their problem. They will rather asslick Atiku, a Fulani man than say hello to their fellow South South. |

referendum01:The Yorubas and Igbos are already united. The only problem is yoruba moslems. Did you notice that yoruba moslems are pro Taliban? Go and read the statement issued yesterday by the head of MURIC, a yoruba man. |
| Re: Why The Yoruba Must Quickly Unite With The Igbos by Naijabad: 8:08am On Aug 26, 2021 |
Difrent:You must be a yoruba moslem I talked about earlier. You guys are blind. Fulanis are about to wage a war against ethnic nationalities in the south. How Yoruba muslems find it difficult to understand this beats my imagination. |
| Re: Why The Yoruba Must Quickly Unite With The Igbos by Difrent: 8:24am On Aug 26, 2021 |
Naijabad:Thanks....mr open eyes First, there is nothing like yoruba moslem.....all yorubas are first yoruba, before being christian/muslim/traditional worshipper. Its a fact that an average yoruba family has followers of the three religion even in families of isalmic and hristian preachers.. Its only outside interlopers like you that form that religious divide in your heads.... Whenever a muslim is in power Christians and christian bodies Like CAN PFN always shout ISLAMIZATION...as a blackmailing tool for a muslim president...were fulanis not killing when christian president GEJ was ruling that you didnt shout islamization then or were fulanis not killing when Christian president OBJ held sway i didnt hear anyone shout fulani agenda or islamization. Things are bad agreed .....but he who wants to come to equity must come with clean hands , are the ibos not shown us enough treachery as not to trust them......the trust deficit is there and i know the feeling is mutual. See, your tribe maybe afraid but not yorubas. I am a proud descendant of ibadan warriors that stopped fulanis 200 years ago....e still dey body |

@OP. You have just said a lot of rubbish and confirmed what smart, modern and 'woke' Yorubas now know about Igbos which is that you can never stop having bad belle for Yorubas even if you live your entire lives benefitting from their benevolence and hospitality. 21 years living in Yorubaland and you cannot understand that Yorubas feel they fully deserve the 2023 Presidency under APC and are not interested in compromising for anyone to include Igbos? Where is your sense of fairness and decency that should make you appreciate that people are entitled to reap where they have sown sacrificially and judiciously? Yorubas should step out of the way to support an Igbo APC Presidency ba? We sacrificed so much, while you Igbos behaved like hateful/divisive spoilt brats, to now hand you the APC structure you do not deserve and had previously rejected soundly, insultingly and publicly? Lunatic, clannish and ingrate talk. I only pity Yorubas who do not get it that Igbos, like you, will always be enemies-within however nice and hospitable we are to you. After all is said and done, you are just another hateful ingrate and blackmailer like the average Igbo is. |

kestolove95:its not as if yorubas dont have criminals, so whats your problem with the igbos? |
| Re: Why The Yoruba Must Quickly Unite With The Igbos by Nobody: 8:50am On Aug 26, 2021 |
To Yorubas, someone can not hate your father and love you. Even when a drunk man say rubbish, there is element of truth in it. Igbos have shown you hatred by hating your leaders, Tinubu, Osinbajo and other notable leaders in Yoruba land. Their most reverend leader Kanu call those that attend Yoruba pastor Church animals. Every igbo man is pro-ipob terrorist at heart, we are playing with the fire that will burn our children. Continue forming woke and liberal till they turn us to slaves in our land. The blood of our ancestors will not allow! |
| Re: Why The Yoruba Must Quickly Unite With The Igbos by Nobody: 9:31am On Aug 26, 2021 |
SlyDev:100% real talk. This OP is even a glaring example. After supposedly living with Yorubas for 21 years, eating and dining with them, he still cannot be upright and stand for who/what is right. His thread quickly unravelled as another effort to blackmail Yorubas into ceding ground in the APC for hateful, undeserving and divisive Igbos to profitand reap where thy have not sown. If this guy had an objective mind then the only option open to him, after claiming to have lived with Yorubas for 21 years, is to implore his people to learn the benefit of working hard and fruitfully , as the Yorubas have done, to gain what they want from Nigeria. He should only be telling his fellow Igbos to learn from how Yorubas, under extreme provocation from every corner, continue to work for peaceful and democratic coexistence with all others. He should be aware the Yorubas accommodate the huge burden of hosting by far the biggest population of non-indigenes in our region than others are prepared to do. Yet we are not throwing tantrums and trying to divide everything and everyone as Igbos commit themselves to doing daily to now be blackmailing an untrusting Nigeria to hand them the Presidency. Where is the sense, for most Igbos, that actions have consequences, good and bad, in life? The actions of the Yorubas mean they fully deserve the Presidency in 2023 and the actions of the Igbos show they don't. As simple as that. If Igbos, like the OP, have any decency left in them then they should learn from what they are doing wrong and mend their ways because insanity is doing things the same way over and over to expect a different outcome. You can't give a nation hate 24/7 to expect love back. Whatever the weather, Yorubas always commit to being healers and peacemakers while Igbos are always divisive and incendiary. All behaviour will have their rewards. Yorubas deserve their position in Nigeria today and Igbos deserve theirs. |
| Re: Why The Yoruba Must Quickly Unite With The Igbos by Bisiebae(f): 9:49am On Aug 26, 2021 |
My problem with Igbos is that they should make their stance known. You can't be fighting for Biafra one day and the next thinking of becoming president, it's not done! |

This thread is the source of all of Nigeria's problems if we cannot agree to unite politically as the south how then can we move forward to develop? |
| Re: Why The Yoruba Must Quickly Unite With The Igbos by Olakunleyakub(m): 10:12am On Aug 26, 2021 |
Honestly speaking yoruba don't hate ibo but they are the one hating on us. The question begging for an answer is how tinubu that never govern them is their major problem while we don't take any of their governors or past governor as enemy? Just because tinubu supported buhari and never allow their pdp party to govern Lagos State? They love playing politics of hatred, bitterness and division alot. Walohi am still surprised how tinubu is their problem till today blamingthedevil: |

Olakunleyakub:100% correct. Why so much hate against Yoruba leaders while Yorubas are totally indifferent and apathetic towards Igbo leaders? Even this OP is demonstrating the irredeemable hate most Igbos are born with. You live with Yorubas for 21 years yet you are not upright enough to tell your people the truth which is that Yorubas have worked for and deserve the Presidency while the Igbos have, by their own hands, done enough for all Nigerians to rightly reject wanting an Igbo man as their President in 2023. |

referendum01:Anything short of unconditional disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria is a waste of the time. There must be a Republic of Igboland as do other republics such as Oduduwa. It is silly to ask people to suppress the anger which comes from a scar on the palm of their hands. The Nigeria/Biafra war shell ever remain with Ndigbo and Biafrans forever. The first step to minimize the trauma of Nigeria/Biafra war is disintegration of Nigeria. |

You want Igbos to unite with yoruba that cannot unite themselves. Go to oshogbo and see how yoruba muslims are beating up yoruba christians everyday over the issue of hijab. MURIC is always there, looking for yoruba christians to sell as slave to the foolanis. yorubas should unite themselves first. |

FakeUnity:In every single election are the yoruba not united on the person they want to vote? Can you say that the yorubas and igbos have ever been united in the person they choose to vote for? No you can't that is what the op of this thread is talking about political unity in voting and in politics |
