2023 Presidency: Why Yorubas Should Think Twice, Other Tribes Are Watching! by franchasng(op):
Since the end of the 3 year civil war in Nigeria, a Yoruba man, Obasanjo ruled Nigeria from 1976 to 1979.


Another Yoruba man, Abiola won 1992 election which got annuled by an Hausa Head of State, Babangida.

A Yoruba man, Shonekan was appointed by Babangida to act as interim President.

In 1999 when Nigeria wanted to return back to democracy, the most visible politicians were Igbos (Dr Alex Ekwueme, Ogbonnaya Onu, Chuba Okadigbo, etc), one formed the most accepted party then, PDP, he tried to use the platform to become the President, but Nigerians decided to pacify Yorubas for 1992 saga by zoning Presidency to Southwest which helped two Yoruba men, Obasanjo and Olu Falae to become the two major Presidential candidates of the two major parties then, making an Igbo forerunner to step down for Olu Falae, at the end, Obasanjo became President in 1999 to 2007.


Even though it was zoned to Southwest, Buhari still contested to fulfill all righteousness.


Another Yoruba man, Osinbajo became Vice President from 2015 to end in 2023, and here another greedy, corrupt, thieving Yoruba man, Tinubu is warming up to become President from 2023 without considering the plight of other marginalized regions and yet his people are screaming and questioning why Igbos hate Tinubu and why Igbos don't support Yorubas but these heartless, inconsiderate Yorubas pushing Tinubu to the gallows forgot that Igbos massively supported Obasanjo in 1999 and 2003 making some Yorubas to even allege that Obasanjo was born by an Igbo trader who lived in Southwest some decades ago.



Are you Yorubas sincere at all to yourselves? Why are Yorubas of today so greedy, selfish and inhumane that their conscience no longer speaks to them just because they want to lay hands on Nigeria's treasury at all cost to further develop their region to the detriment of other regions?


Is Nigeria a Yoruba nation? Where is the fairness? Where is the equity? Where is the justice and nationhood in all these?


Yorubas always condemn Igbos for asking out, and always join the North sing songs of unity and one Nigeria, please where is the honesty in your chant for one Nigeria if you guys can't shelve your greed for power for once just to allow equity and fairness and then see if others will return the good gesture or not?


We all condemn Fulanis for being power drunk but the truth is, Yorubas are more power desperate than the Fulanis we all condemn.


Imagine if it were to be Igbos that produced Head of State in 1976, Interim President in 1993, President in 1999, Vice President in 2015 and now desperately clamoring to produce another President in 2023 without considering others how Yorubas would fill.


I am sure the whole media will be awash with all manner of unprintable names hurled at Igbos for being power drunk and inconsiderate. But here are Yorubas being so blind, so wicked, so inhumane, so inconsiderate of the plight of Igbos and yet when Igbos demand to secede peacefully so Yorubas and others can run Nigeria as they please, this same Yorubas will start to abuse and insult Igbos and start to form alliance with the North to fight Igbos for trying to leave.



I have never seen a wicked set of people as the present crop of Yorubas we have today, very selfish, wicked, inhumane set of people.

This is where you guys are getting it wrong presidential seat in Nigeria is not hereditary or a chieftaincy you give to people. This is democracy our constitution made it clear that anyone under the constitution of Nigeria have right to seek for political office.

When Tinubu is laboring day and night busy building a political party you igbos insult him calling him unprintable names now when the food is ready and Tinubu want to fulfill his long term ambition in the same party he built by hard labor you igbos want him to step down for you?

Its not done anywhere igbo should contest under PDP or Apga at least Nigerians that love igbo tribe would vote them.instead of blackmail other tribe.


All the insults you people are throwing on Tinubu we know is not about Tinubu but to Yoruba nation.

When Dr Alex Ekwueme and others were laboring to build PDP, Obasanjo was languishing in jail, yet there was a consensus to zone the Presidency to Southwest to pacify them for June 12.



Same thing was done in APP, Ogbonnaya Onu who won the APP Presidential primaries had to step down for Olu Falae as a way of assuaging Southwest for the June 12 election saga which Abiola won.


You can go and read chapter 20 of Chief Akande's autobiography titled "My Participations" if you are in doubt.



Eyes are watching you guys.


When its your turn, you want fairness, but when its others turn, you start to quote politics and constitution.

this ibo people are too mumu,una no get shame?a whole major tribe shouting up and down.
did yoruba hold you not to contest?
did ibo man not contest against yoruba man in 1999?
when you're busy play bitterness politics una not know, now you're crying.
if you're strong enough then contest and stop disturbing our peace.
bitter and greedy tribe
Igbo man Ogbonnaya Onu stepped down for Yoruba man Olu Falae.



Dr Alex Ekwueme only contested PDP primaries because he had spent a lot already and he was the main founding father of PDP and it would have looked somehow for him to step down at that dieminute but deep down his heart, he already stepped down for Obasanjo after the party chieftains decided to zone the presidency to Southwest.



Wickedness and selfishness are imbeded in you guy's hearts.


Chief Akande captured this in his book he launched last year.



Some few honorable Yoruba elites have tried to speak up too, even one Yoruba APC Chieftain, one Prince said last year that Tinubu should not contest and rather support a credible Igbo candidate, he said this on a live national broadcast on Arise TV last year. If you doubt me, google it

Time will tell[quote]the most annoying thing about u igbos is that u lie a lot n thats very annoying

Nobody zoned presidency to south wedt,we have said it a couple times n thrash it but u igbos will always hold on to d lie to deceive yourself

Ekweme contested against obj n he was defeated then same way olu falae thrashed ogbonnaya onu, so if it was zoned to south west like u claim,y did others contest?

It's just like psg n barca playing champions league final n barca won n d next final psg is saying it's their turn barca shouldn't play against they they should just hand over d cup to them.

There's nothing u can do,u won't go unopposed, people will contest against u n if u are defeated nothing for u

I realize u igbos invest more in discrediting tinubu than supporting your own candidate, let's see where it will land u

“another greedy, corrupt, thieving Yoruba man”

I was reading with interest till I saw that line. Very rude, highly provocative and silly. Learn to be civil.
What will be will be….stop moaning, watch as things unfold…you all will be surprised and shocked.

Tinubu is not your problem.

It was Dr. Onu that christened Abia State “GOD’S OWN STATE” and symbolized his noble dream for the state by building the “Abia Tower of Peace”.


At the resumption of partisan politics in 1999, Onu emerged as the first presidential flag bearer of the then All Peoples Party (APP) which was later known as All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP).


I was a member of the national caucus of APP. Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu with whom I joined the party, became a member of the Board of Trustees of APP. Other notable Igbo members of APP at that time included Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, Chief Arthur Nzeribe, late Chief Evan Enwerem, Dr. Joshua Odunna, etc.


It is to Dr. Onu’s eternal credit that he showed an unalloyed loyalty to the party in the spirit of the supremacy of party and as a true democrat that he submitted to the directive of the party leadership to relinquish his position as presidential flag bearer to pave the way for Dr. Olu Falae of Alliance for Democracy (AD) to become the presidential flag bearer of APP in a curious political alliance between AD and APP.


While all the notable members of APP moved out of the party at different times and for different reasons, Dr. Onu remained committed to the party.


Little wonder his fellow party men and women in September 2010 in recognition of Dr. Onu’s rare political fidelity, discipline, steadfastness and exemplary commitment to the party’s ideals elected him as the National Chairman of the party.
