I have screenshot this comment. I can also promise you that when you do that, the destruction of endsars will be child's play. You think people can destroy the sweat of others due to politics and get away with it ? Do you assume the people you talking to are a bunch of nobodies ? My brother in this life and the next , dem no born anybody well to destroy those markets and places of business without large scale repercussions. Go and ask the north and you will learn why they have learnt to tow a different path rather than violence.
Another empty chest beater, is the market in your land? The market would be closed and nothing will happen..... Do not break your rib cage with that excessive chest beating....Ant forming elephant.

Why can't the OP use this as the headline?
*[/color]*"Why is IPOB there? You are in a Nigeria where the North can have the presidency, the South-West can have the presidency, likewise the South-South, but the South-East cannot. Yet, we are one Nigeria and you want peace. You are deceiving yourself**[color=#006600]."

**“That is the basis of my support for the South-East. When Chief Nnia Nwodo and others came, I told them all that the Easterners did to me and Awolowo, which is why some Yoruba say they don’t want Igbo? But Awolowo told me, “No, you must work with the Igbo because you cannot defeat these Fulani people alone.”**[color=#006600]

This man is a supporter of Presidency from Southeast.
The poster of this article wants to twist the story in favor of Agbado master.

Thank you for highlighting that important and vital statements made by Pa Adebanjo in favour of Igbos because of the marginalisation and persecution they have been receiving in his country by Housa/Fulani Muslims in collaboration with Yoruba Muslims which Yoruba Christians are not left out but Igbos are here to protect the rest of tribes that will identify with them such as Yoruba Christians,South South, Southern Kaduna and Middle Belt...........I am that Igbojew

Until you channel this energy to Portable that opened his dirty yansh on Awolowo face then I will take you serious.

trutharena:


Are you ashamed of those that stoned Awolowo?

Are you ashamed that your progenitors stoned Awolowo during campaign and that your current generation swore to do the same to Tinubu?

I don’t blame you guys, I only blame the Yorubas sophistico with no ethnic consciousness among us.

Imagine an Ibo boy arrested today for burning BRT in Lagos. He left his region to Lagos to burn our buses and yet Yoruba won’t speak up.

What has happened to the Yoruba for heaven sake? Can I go to Anambra to burn public buses and come back to Lagos alive?

Check the Igbo well, before now, the media space is all about IPOB and Nigeria is a zoo.

As soon as Obi got the ticket, they all switched mouth and started campaigning massively for Peter Obi and started tagging anyone that speak against them an efulefu and cancelling them.

But the same Igbo will attack a Yoruba supporting Tibubu by calling them tribalists and yet over 99% of them are always speaking in support of Peter Obi.

But some Yoruba lack self awareness, they are being gaslighted and used by the Igbos and forming woke on social media and getting guilt tripped.

As a Yoruba, you can support Peter Obi, Atiku, or Kwakwanso but if the reason you are supporting any of these guys is due to the gaslighting by other tribe , then you are foolish.

Projecting a serial liar on Nigerians is an insult to right thinking Nigerians, if Obi is the best Igbos can offer then it is finished for Alaigbo.

Nigeria would never descend so low to vote a person that takes meaningful advice from mad men, that is like voting a lunatic by proxy.

The useless op and his fellow deluded miscreants that have been working demonically to stir up a fight between the South East and the South West(just to actualise the ambition of an old,sick,wicked,selfish and corrupt semi dead man as a president of over 200 million people),just know this fact that when this war or fight you urchins are instigating starts,it will swallow every one of you while your demi god with his families will jet out to a safer place...
You cunningly left the main statements from the man about fairness,equity and justice and you jumped on a tribal primordial sentiments to keep pushing your DOA evil ambition.
I wonder if you think that an illiterate,a slowpoke and a simpleton like you would succeed in using emotional blackmails on sane Yorubas.
Just read all your negative and dubious rants here and study the ways demon works,then you would know that there's absolutely nothing different from you morons and demons....
People are calling for peace buh you idiots are calling for war and the hatred on Peter Obi is actually because he's an Igbo man and not about credibility, competence and accountability or you think your hatred can change people's minds to start supporting your failed demi god Tinubu eeh?
Listen,the more you foolish apes keeps on bringing lies,propagandas to blackmail Peter Obi,the more people are loving him and the earlier you urchins realise this,the better for all of you or do you think Nigerians haven't seen the hate you dimwits got for Igbos via this election have really exposed your hates on Igbos buh my worry is that you morons are tarnishing the image of good Yorubas,destroying the good names of Yorubas just because of one man's egoistical selfish ambition niii though you morons wouldn't observe such because you're suffering from a chronic Stockholm syndrome..
You cannot be a supporter of Tinubu and have your senses intact. Infact,supporting Tinubu would always make you looks or sounds horrible,foolish,stupid and useless or if you doubt me,check how many people applauding your evil tactics here or you think people don't read through your devilish gimmicks.
By the way,can only Yoruba votes makes Tinubu president or don't you think that you minions are on a failed mission already?..
Don't start what you cannot finish because this embers of war you mentally demented morons are blowing,will blow your lives and that of your families away,don't say that people did not warn you..
Lastly: peradventure this your demi god wins(though it's impossible and God forbid too),have you thought of how he will be able to represent Nigerian all over the world especially at international conferences or meetings eeh?.
Well,just to present himself for an interview becomes a herculean task and campaign never even started yet and you're pushing such a great grand father to become your president,someone with such a huge,massive baggages,everything about him is questionable and you expect educated and literate Yorubas to toll the same deadly and dangerous line with you just because they're Yorubas or just because they don't want some Tinubu's tauts,thugs and illiterates like you to keep on projecting your foolish attributes on them eeh?..
Listen,you shouldn't let your hatred for Igbos, Peter Obi,to lower you to a six feet because the vibration of hatred in you is really nauseating, unimaginably suicidal and I hope help locate you on time..
My words are always enough for the wise even though you're opposite of wisdom..
I rest my case...Gracias!!!!

I laugh each time Apc supporters claims fake love for Nigeria and accuse people of hating Nigeria whereas they're the worst enemy of this country.
Apc supporters love for Nigeria can be best described as the same love you love your Christmas chicken or salah ram.
if you love someone all you'll want for the person is the best but Apc supporters all they've supported and wanted for Nigeria is worst.
they supported the abomination we have today as president not once but twice.
and even in the midst of failure they defended the worst government in the history of humanity till the point they felt like it's time to enthrone another disaster Tinubu.
Today they're fighting tooth and nail to enthrone a monumental disaster and just like the real patriotic Nigerians cried in 2014 when they where trying to enthrone the disaster we have today, today the real lovers of Nigeria are trying to give it the best and revive it, the so called lovers of Nigeria are trying again to enthrone another failure.
no remorse nothing nothing.

So if you're looking for enemies of Nigeria, look no further.
they're not bokoharam, fulani herdsmen, bandits.
they're TINUBU URCHINS.

it takes only a determined mind to drag a case till Supreme Court and to think such determination is coming from people that have been deceiving Yoruba Christians that religion doesn't matter in South West just to keep them subdued and naive.
I thank God many Yoruba Christians are no longer falling for that crap and have been seeing them and their tricks.
they made sure that Osinbajo's ambition was dead and maligned him in the most wicked manner ever calling him unprintable names just because he's a Yoruba Christians even when he's over qualified than their preferred choice Tinubu.
they said Muric is on his own yet Tinubu urchins who are mostly Yoruba Muslims are already here on nairaland pre-primaries telling you that it's Tinubu or nothing, meaning they don't rate Osinbajo and will never support him should he emerged.
Same people are pushing for Muslim-Muslim ticket telling people that yoruba Christians will fall in line because they knew they'll deceive them with their usual lines that "religion doesn't matter"

The same Yoruba Muslims that said religion doesn't matter are gradually pushing for Sharia laws in Yoruba land and before you know it boom it's already in supreme Court and it'll be ruled in their favour.

Dear Yoruba Christians, it's time to wake up and stop living in lies and deceit
these guys don't rate you and will never do.
the facts are there.
it's their religion first and nothing else.

This is for some of the sophistico Yoruba youth that fell for the antics of Ibo people that always say they hate Tinubu not because he’s Yoruba and bla bla bla.

Awolowo was stoned when he went to the East to campaign back then and this is Pa Adebanjo the same Afenifere guy laying claim to that. Is Awolowo also a bad person like Tinubu according to the Ibos? Or why was he stoned?

Azikiwe campaigned easily in the SW but Awo was stoned in the SE for campaigning.

That’s the same thing they are doing to Tinubu. They are making sure he won’t be able to campaign in the SE, where they term any Igbo that support Tinubu as efulefu and always cancel them.

Yet the same people want to be left alone to campaign in the SW while some Yoruba guys with severe confusionists complex will be sheering them on.

The Yoruba are the only tribe in this country without tribal consciousness and it is as tho something is wrong.

Mattew Chapter 11 vs 12.

During the time of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of God suffereth violence, & only the violent taketh it by force. Thus says my Bible.
Only northerners & Muslims cannot & should not have the monopoly of violence.
The same man who said Nigerians & even baboons would bleed if A.P.C doesn't win is who is currently our president, & he was voted by the same set of idiots like this guy who are currently calling Peter Obi supporters violent.
Nigeria must be better, & Obi is our savior.
If they don't wanna have sense, we must beat the sense into them.

It seems whenever the Yoruba are looking to join hand with igbo to free the country. The igbo used to look elsewhere and do things in their own way and when they failed ,they see Yoruba as bad people.

The only tribe that can unite this country are Yoruba and the only country that can make our separation very fast is Yoruba.

This time Igbo must not look elsewhere. Let together vote for Tinubu or else we would all have ourselves to be blamed

I had some respect for this Pa Adebanjo but he disappointed me here full time. Okay, you were with Awolowo, he was stoned and you didn't know until you got home and he had to tell you that he was stoned? This is puerile. How can someone be stoned and you say ONLY his cap felt the impact. Stone na water? Pa Adebanjo don't be tribal. French President Emmanuel Micron was once jabbed by a young man, can we now say the entire TRIBE of that young man jabbed him? So, assuming someone threw a piece of something at Awo during campaign, do you now say THE IGBO stoned him? If Igbo stoned Awo how would he come out alive? But now even the people with didn't know the incident until" he told them when they got home".


Pa Adebanjo respect yourself as usual. You fail this one.


During football matches sometimes a vexed fan can throw something at an opposition player, is it then said the entire opposition fans threw the missile? This is tribalism displayed by Pa Adebanjo but it won't work.

dear Yoruba Christians
Stop sleeping on the bicycle.
stop falling for their deceit
they know what they're doing
that's why they ganged up against a more qualified yoruba Christian Osibanjo and put a corrupt old, useless drug baron because he's a Yoruba Muslim.
ask yourself why Tinubu and not Osinbajo?
they're now painting an obvious black to become white.
after their mission they'll come with "yoruba Muslim and Christian are one" to confuse you.
the same people that was so determined to take up a mere hijab case upto supreme Court level is telling you that religion doesn't matter in South West.
they're now gradually pushing for Sharia and also determined about it.
when they achieved it they'll come back and tell you that it doesn't matter.
Yoruba Christians wake up
stop falling for this daylight deceit.
these guys doesn't rate you infact they rate a Muslim from the North more than you people, that's why most of them are clamoring for Muslim/Muslim ticket because they knew that, they will still deceive you guys that religion doesn't matter.
if they rate you and care about your feelings and vote why Muslim/Muslim ticket?
they're more concerned about pacifying their more closer brothers in the north than you people even when the north no even rate them.
they know that you guys can be easily be deceived by telling you that igbos are your enemy while they're the one sabotaging yoruba interests truly.

Don't mind the bast3d OP..

Infact he invariably brought up more disdain towards their Principle..
Now the Question is why didn't Awolowo declare A Yoruba Independence Immediately after Ojukwu did?

Because if he had, there is no way the Fulanis would have gone to war against the 2 regions at the same time. It would have been recipe for disaster to them.
Infact the Fulani would have lost the war even before it started.

It's a pure fact that Awolowo never wanted the disintegration of Nigeria, rather he wanted to be seen as a peace maker, unifier, messiah.
Just to fulfill his selfish Ambition to be president.

Thank you so much for the way you put this and am so happy that the truth is coming out not from any other tribes but from their so called elder that Awolowo betrayed Igbos and Ojukwu and even his coward Yoruba people that always tried to re-write history by blaming Igbos for the problem of this country.The truth is that Yorubas never wanted Nigeria to disintegrate and it happened during Awolowo time and still repeating present day that is why they are more vocal than Housa/Fulani against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Igbos that are agitating for the disinterest ion of Nigeria...............i am that Igbojew

The desperation of APC is really scary, let them not plunge this country into a violence that would also consume them. Let us go back to history what caused the stoning of Awolowo in 1979.
During the war Awolowo advised Gowon to enforce a Naval blockade of the sea channel into PH and Calabar to prevent food imports from reaching Biafra, so that the Biafrans would be starved to submission, now Awolowo was interviewed by BBC reporters during the war and he said and i quote " All is fair in war, why should we feed our enemies for them to attack us" Now the question is was Nigeria feeding Biafra? The answer is No.
Now years after war during the 1979 election campaign Awolowo was asked again his role in the starvation policy, now this is where it gets interesting. Awolowo said and i quote " The policy was enacted to prevent food from being cornered by the Biafran soldiers" now how do you explain this where your starvation policy was responsible for the death of millions from Kwashiorkor? Now another interesting angle was by the former head of supply and Transport of the Biafran Army for Nigerian Army Lt Fola Oyewole was interviewed recently on the starvation policy stated that what Awolowo said was a lie that no Biafran Soldier took food meant for the civillian population, and that the soldiers themselves were also facing starvation. it was an existential crisis in Biafra.
Another reason why Awolowo was stoned was that in Enugu before the war Awolowo came to visit Ojukwu and made a famous statement, that if the East Seceeds the West will follow, only for him to change tune when he was appointed Finance commissioner(Equivalent of Minister of Finance).
When he came to campaign in Aba the youths asked him to clarify if he was the one that suggested the starvation policy to Gowon, he said yes and they asked him why he lied about the policy being to prevent food from being cornered by the Biafran Army he had no answer that was why he was stoned because he was viewed as a betrayer.
It is right that we know the truth, this is one of the reasons why history must be told in Schools.

History as concorted by you.

Well broda historian.
