Edo and Delta of South south were formerly South west, the were never part of South east in history

humilitypays:
The way most of you Yoruba youths brag online when it comes to Nigerian politics just makes one wonder.


Igbos were the first to rule and lead Nigeria, so it's natural for power to change hands once in a while.


Before the civil war, an Igbo man was the President, the Senate President, appointed an Akwa-Ibom man the IG of Police, Igbo was the Chief of Army Staff, Igbo was the richest man in Nigeria and West Africa.


Igbos were completely in charge of Nigeria before civil war.


Nnamdi Azikiwe floored and carpeted your Lord and Hero Awolowo in several national elections, where were Yorubas then


What Igbos lost during and after the civil war, Yorubas gained, so what's the fuss about


What Igbos are suffering today is the effect of the civil war they lost. It is not easy fighting the rest of the country in a multi tribal nation, Igbos did it and came out bigger today, that alone should make you respect Igbos.


If Yorubas fought a war against the rest of Nigeria of which they dont have the liver and courage to do anyway, by now the whole Yoruba nation would have been forced to relocate to Togo as refugees.



The political issues and challenges Igbos are facing in Nigeria today is as a result of the civil war they fought and lost, it made other tribes to be scared of Igbos, it made Northerners to be scared of Igbos. Of course Northerners will most likely partner with Yorubas that joined them sheepishly to fight Igbos during the civil war, it's natural.



Germany, Japan and Italy were among the world powers before the second world war, but since the end of the second world war they lost to the Allied forces (US, UK, France, etc) plus USSR (today Russia), have you seen Japan or Germany or Italy topping the global superpower ratings But inwardly, Japan and Germany are stronger than UK or France but in global politics UK and France command more influence, that's exactly the case of Igbos and Yorubas plus Hausa-Fulanis.


Inwardly Igbos are superpowers than the Yorubas or Hausa-Fulanis but when it comes to national politics in Nigeria, to be honest, Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas command more influence than Igbos since the end of the civil war and it's normal all over the world for people that lost war.



So before you start bragging and opening mouth like a typical Yoruba man, go and read your history, Igbos were the leaders and commanders of Nigerian politics to the envy of other tribes before the civil war.


That 1966 Nzeogwu led coup destroyed everything Igbos had built in Nigeria and that's why I laugh at people that call that ill-fated coup an Igbo coup. Why would Igbo political elites carry out a coup when Igbos were literally in charge of almost everything in Nigeria then It was something planned and executed by young naive military officers from all parts of Nigeria with majority from Eastern Nigeria out of their own mindset, was never an Igbo agenda coup at all. My uncle was among the coupist and he regretted their action cos they wanted to make Awolowo President thinking he was the better leader for Nigeria then not knowing he was a power-mongering, cunning man like today Tinubu who would later joined Hausa-Fulanis to fight Igbos.


President - Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe (Igbo)
Senate President - Chief Nwafor Orizu (Igbo)
IG of Police - Chief Edet (nominated from Eastern zone)
Chief of Army Staff - Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi (Igbo)



Always check your history next time

Thanks for the information. I have been saying it on this platform and you have corroborated my claim today that Greed, Nepotism and Ethnic Chauvinism was introduced to the Nigerian Politics by the Osus who are crying most today. Imagine the appointments you shamelessly mention above going to the smallest of the three major tribes and today some Osus have the gut to blame Buhari. You dont know what to even boast about my Osu brother

bigcasava1:
Don't mind them, after their plan didn't work out with buhari now they want to switch to South south and southeast they have been betraying.

Give an instance of such betrayal I dare you! Always have information and not rely on street gossips

BigSarah:
Whoa never saw that coming, so the whole VAT and open grazing bla bla for these people is just a rouse to enthrone a narco..

Ordinary Nigerians shouldn't hope on these jerks

So your support for Akeredolu was because you perceived he was fighting against Fulani? You people still think like toddlers

Wiseandtrue:

I said it before that all these move is for Tinubu!

Tinubu that NEVER said anything while innocent Nigerians are killed that's the person they are looking up too

He never even supported Amotekun

What's the probability that Nigeria will do well under him

These are the questions I expected a learned like Akeredolu to address! Not follow anyone sheepishly!

Cat-paws . . . didn't publicly support Amotekun, and Lagos State passed the bill . . . doesn't oppose Buhari, and Lagos State was first in line to pass the bill . . . in bed with Northerners, but known Tinubu Men are attending Southern Governors' conference. Well played BAT, well played indeed.

ANDREW91:

I really dont understand by what u mean by SE never supported SW during the 1999 election.
Olu falae and Obj dat contested were both from West. Are u saying the East did not vote at all.
1993 election result was never released please how did u know igbos didnt vote MKO.
And please no region is a minority.
We from the South see the Easterners more like a brother dan u guys.
West is d Judas in our mist.

Osu man always attempting to be clever by half. The result was published and out of the four then Eastern states Abiola won only one which means the Osus did not vote for him yet the Yorubas did not label them betrayals for voting a northerner against a southerner. Enough of this clannish mentality as you will be served real hot

No sir! Get your facts right, it started as Wetern region and in 1963 carved out as Mid West and if you doubt me, give this forum the name of the premier of Mid West in 1960. They are like Osun, Ondo and other Yoruba states to some extent for instance there some people in Edo state of today with two Yoruba names, Iteskiris in Delta have names very close to Yoruba names for instance, Omowunmi in Yoruba while Omawumi in Itsekiri. The two revered traditional rulers in both Edo and Delta use Yoruba title " Oba and Olu". Your hatred for Yoruba will not do anything about history

cryptotech:

They are the most smart, successful and intelligent black ethnic group in Africa and the world, go and ask England they will tell you. People that have invented talking drum to the amazement of the European and to strengthen their defense, they have organised system of government in ancient times, the Oyo empire.
They just got it honestly, let them withdraw their intellectual contribution to present day Nigerian as a country and see how Nigerian will look like, is it the almajiri of the north (Boko Haram) or the trader from the East (ipob) that will fill the gap in education, engineering, technology, industry, housing, entertainment, tourism, ICT and civilization.

all this balderdash are in ur ewedu induced mind, the 3yr civil war alone proved the Igbos too be more advanced the yorubas. to date there is no invention made by a yoruba man, the Igbos are topping in the educational aspect of nigeria.while the sw are rubbing shoulders with the north on school drop outs.

go back to ur dictionary and check the meaning of civilization bfor u type trash and as for lie about the talking drum it was never invented by the yorubas but rather a west african thing...

Bendeco02:

What bring Igbo for this matter?

Is like u can't reason outside tribe?

One thing I observed about u yorubas is that u guys are very tribalistic and Insultive with Zero action.... The Igbos you guys always like to insult, can Yorubas win Igbos in any free and fair competitive event?

Ibo should seek PDP ticket with their full chest and face a Yoruba in APC for the presidency.

Stop hiding behind Atiku/Fulani trouser

You can never compare the circumstances that surrounds 1993 election to that of 2015.
In 1993 the military were still in power. It was a contest between Tofa/ugoh and Abiola/kingibe. Ugoh was from the East. In 2015 a southerner was already in power just to complete his remaining 4years u guys denied us.

KILLTHECOWS:
A Muslim can not hand over the presidency to a fellow Muslim.
Christians will never accept that..
Tinubu can be the president of your town union....if you love him as your saviour.

This one is still living in stone ages, can you imagine of all Nigeria leadership problems still talking of christian Muslim

Mrnairalandd:


And that’s why they ll remain at the back and shout marginalisation from generation to generation.

There is no way a Yoruba man who had worked so hard for APC ll allow one fool from the East to reap from where Igbos didn’t sow. When Igbos were practically calling APC all sort of names in the East and went ahead to vote against APC in thousands, it was Yorubas and the North who stood for APC, now you want APC to give Igbos presidency slot, you guys are fools.

The only opportunity Igbos have to choose one of them to become the president of this country is giving their support to the Yoruba man Tinubu who would likely win 2023 election. Subsequently it ll be difficult for Yoruba people to come out and present a candidate again when it is South time to produce a president. Consequently Yorubas ll have no other choice than to support the Igbos against the North then.

If Igbos go against the Yorubas now, then be prepared that Yorubas have always done better than the Igbos, Yorubas ll definitely retaliate and Igbos ll scream blue murder when that time comes cos they always play victims.

One good thing about the Yorubas is this, they don’t play victim like Igbos. Yorubas ll move easily but ll ensure Igbos remain 4th class citizens

Tinubu is very likely not running for President . . . there is a bigger game-plan.

Trentee4eva:

No mind these idiots. They think SS are into agbaya politics. Stupid people. Edo no be Lagos is a smokescreen of what will befall Tinubu in SS. Betrayals. They only want Southern unity when they want the presidency. They are still not satisfied after 16 years as President and VP but they are always the first to call out the Fulanis. Nonsense

They should keep fooling them selves.

I think the ignorant one here is you. The contest for president was between one southerner and one northerner ant the Osus voted the northerner simple.

Be deceiving yourself.
Tinubu is oga for Lagos. N lagosians.

As for south south.,
You may have some Elites but we youths hv voice. We our now our oga.

But.... I'd pick you over Buhari., any northern candidate.

Power going to south. And should stay there. It's obvious this last years has taken us backwards. Aboki... no get sense

No young man; the oba of benin bear benin name,
same as the oba of itsekiri bearing itsekiri name.
And I can as well tell you that Yoruba is the one speaking Itsekiri language.

If the results was not released how come M. K. O was declared winner...

Seeing us a Judas is very funny...
I doubt ur definition of ur Judas ..

The real Judas were the people that was absent in discussing Southern security way out.. in order to fully legalized anti open grazing they chickened out with fear.. anyway I stopped here

Guyman02:
They are trying to attach South South into their scheme because the SE is an area where the people don't idolize any individual.
The people of SE expect the Governor's forum to call on the FG to fix the dilapidated roads in their zone and not only making declarations

..because the SE don't play politics with sense. Besides, why do u bother about SE if u can get SS. Even the north don't sweat over SE. They just go for SW and get some reasonable numbers also from the SS and it's done.

No wonder they give SE the leftovers after others have been fed.

kcnwaigbo:
People of the South-south come and respond to him!! Yorubas actually think there are smarter than the rest of us in the south.Well we shall see

wail little and work more .every leaders or followers can pitch their Tents in where they like .don't depend on someone for your success take your own steps no one hold you.

No doubt about that but e no reach my side

post=105986556:

I know that was their game plan, ignorant ones from east were busy calling out Gov Obiano for not attending the meeting or send his deputy, Gov Obiano realised their game from the first meeting In Asaba, the second meeting in Lagos he didn't attend or send his deputy, we know them very well, they are shouting Southern unity because they've realised that North are not ready to hand power over to them, that's main reasons for all these grazing bill noise and VAT, even those agitating for Oduduwa are being bankroll by Tinubu, I predicted these, ask my Western friends especially LegendHero Tinubu and some governor's from West will soon decamp to another party before 2023 election mark my post.

Lol Tinubu decamp APC ? Seems you don’t know who they call Jagaban. So if he decamp APC will they give him ticket in PDP? Or you think he is the type that will use anger to lose the target like Ibos? You think he’s like people that act before thinking?

We Yorubas are second fiddle to no one and we don’t run from challenges. The Tinubu block will contest the APC primaries and I haven’t seen who will outsmart them from the ticket.

If you don’t know, Tinubu got a fair share of state Governors in the North on his side and trust me it will be a game of money bag.

Ibos on the other hand are too coward to even speak to PDP to give them the ticket. Even Peter Obi is nowhere to be found and they are all doing like minority tribe.

Leave APC and go to where? PDP? Or you think he will form a merger with Accord party? Lol you don’t know Tinubu.

I dare say Yorubas, and indeed the entire South are lucky to have a Tinubu. The mere fact that we have someone that is a formidable enough character to raise a few northern pulses is ok by me. Forget this whole SW, SE, and SS arguments - if we play our cards right collectively, we can take our dues, and decide how to split later. The miracle of 'One North' championed by Ahmadu Bello, and Tafawa Balewa is what has helped the North thus far. They have Hausas, Fulanis, Kanuris, Beroms etc, but somehow have managed to hold sway over national politics, and we are fighting over less than major tribes (yoruba, igbo, ijaw, itsekiri, urhobo, Ibibio etc) down south?

We are supposedly the educated ones, and yet we tend towards playing politics with emotions?

tommy589:
Tinubu is not declaring. He is bidding his time to support someone from the south that is acceptable to most

This will be a masterstroke tbh

You’re 100% correct.

As it stand now, even the North is not monolithic anymore because the cracks are now deep and showing. The dynamics have changed from 1960 ways like you said and the South should find a way to exploit that.

Tinubu gave the South a voice whether his critics agree or not. At least we have notable voices to stand up to the North and give them a run for their money.

Without Tinubu, we would have toothless bulldog like Peter Obi, Okorocha, and etc who wouldn’t even be able to command the delegate within their respective parties let alone win a National election.

Wike is a strong man too tho but I think his own interest is more of a Vice President rather than the president.

It is only APC members of South South that can say anything.

Bonesking:
IPOB should learn from this. Never join anyone to demonize your leaders. Many of you are toddlers when it comes the the politicking in Naija. It's not by making noise or terrorizing your communities with PDP sponsored ESN.

For Umahi, Obiano and Uzodinma to be avoiding that Southern Governor’s forum should have taught you sense. Igbo leaders who are not members of the PDP know what they want and that they’ll get it. Quit the stupidity of demonizing your leaders. Quit supporting outsiders over your own. Quit following party sheepishly. Quit following a Supreme Leader you never know those bankrolling him. Use your head and observe your environment.

I wish there was wisdom to learn from.. After over 60 yrs of independence ....is it a crime for masses in Biafra who are tired of the political class of Nigeria and backwardness of Nigeria to seek for a Referendum... With all of this Wisdom of sophistication & choice, After 60 years of Independence can I enjoy common 24 hours power in Lagos , the SW or Nigeria.. we all use Generator and pay for darkness Where is the dead health sector that Doctor are on strike for months and ordinary people are dying daily yet no one's resigns or gives a flying Bleep and an individual amases your money and is recieving treatment in UK... After 60 years of Wisdom & sophistication of choosing looters, Where is the Security, Clean pipe borne water, Asusu Strike is a reminder of the Education here, let's not even talk about public sec & Primary schls kidnapping and killing , where are the qlty Libraries, qlty Tech Edu ,what of POVERTY & INSECURITY.. if After over 60 years you are celebrating this as Ok.. I accept we Biafrans masses are un wise or even foolish to seek for Referrendum just so allow us to exhibit our "Greatest foolishness" To reject everything about Nigeria & her useless 8years cyclical election of Criminals (u call politicians/Leaders)...We want out!!! Biafra or Death allow us and pray for us to accomplish our "foolish act & Choices" with dispatch so you can enjoy your Eldorado in Nigeria ??
