Truth is what is in accordance with reality and not your fantasy. It is up to you to accept or reject it, your choice.

What I noticed is that the Northerners seem to discuss history with their children, coz the manner in which an average southerner is ignorant about any type of history besides 'mary slessor' 'Ajayi Crowther ' and those other useless bits of history written in a textbook for him!

Ask yourself, is the north better than the south?

All of us suffer. That mumu is only enjoying his daddy's money. After he leave office, he would run overseas or to Abuja to hide from his own people.

Igbos and Yoruba are Nigeria problem. Y'all keep fighting each other. Africans love to blame others but themselves. Very soon I might loose respect for black race.

With this self-confessed truth, there is no reason to honor the death of the so-called Queen and anything said and will be said against her is very much in place.

The British authorities feared Awolowo's intellectualism and sagacity that they conspired and he was rigged out. Here was a man that was a century ahead of his peers. Don't take my word for it, visit your history- The NTA you have on your TV screen today was formerly the WNTV, the first in Africa. Under Awolowo, the King of Saudi Arabia came all the way down to Nigeria for medicals in the old University teaching hospital, Ibadan. Free medical care for all, free and compulsory Education, including scholarships for students abroad (UK) funded by the Western Government. Agriculture was the major revenue earner with commodity boards directly buying off agricultural produce from Farmers profitably and selling to consumers at reasonably prices.
Wait for this, Awolowo was the first to establish an Embassy in the UK aimed at promoting diplomatic relations between the UK Govt and the Govt of Western Nigeria but unfortunately, ALL of these gains and more were eroded when a section of the country led by Aguiyi Ironsi destroyed regionalism and replaced it with Unitary System of Government through Section 34 of Unification Decree. Now, SW has become" be as I be" but we muuve!, God pass dem.
At the time the British were leaving us, they gave to each section of the country her own regional autonomy while handing the affairs of the central government to the duo of Hausa/Fulani and Ibo as Prime Minister and Governor-General respectively. However, unfortunately, three years into our budding republic, some greedy folks from a section of the country, in their wiles and clannish egoistical attempts at dominating the rest of the country- According to Azikiwe who had said in 1947 that " it seems as though the God of Africa had created the ibos to dominate and lead the African Continent", hatched the very first and bloodiest coup ever known on Nigerian soil whereby both Military and democratic leaders of Western, Midwest and Northern were gruesomely murderer leaving "their own" to spare.
Bashir Elrufai has every rights to bask and be boastful not because the North were greedy with power but because ibos introduced a needless coup and would later collapse a functioning regional system and above all kicked against secession clause into the 1959 constitution, which allowed the North took advantage of the lapses created, thus entrenching their grip on power. Power is sweet, they tasted it and loved it. I could remember that the North were contented with the progress of the regional Government with cotton, hides and skin providing the major source of revenue. Until Azikiwe and his Ibo comrades threw Awolowo under the bus to align with the North.
The likes of Prof. Uju Anya is only paying for the sins and the carelessness of her ancestors, ( especially the stupidity of Ojukwu during the war) so, she should kindly STFU and take a back seat.
Your forefathers were already regretting making you a 4th class citizen at the gate of their graves.
Is there anything the average Yoruba enjoy that Igbos don't?

You left Bashir El rufai and started attacking the Igbos like the true coward you are.

You are a Coward and most likely from a descendants of cowards.

The worst thing is that all the years the North have had power, they achieved nothing with it

They are poorer than the South, more backward, less developed and far more insecure

True.
The British tried very hard to put the North on top.

But those guys were too dumb to actually grab it.

It was ironsi with his unitary policy that ensured that the economic disparity between the North and the South that promoted southern superiority was dissipated on the altar of one unitary country.

And once the economic advantage moved from regions to federal control, it created an equilibrium that empowered the populous north.

It was an Igbo man that ironically created Northern dominance by mistake.

And ever since you have been too weak to take your destiny back from the Igbos and fulani. Instead you are shouting yourself hoarse with Emilokan music.

I am having a severe psychological meltdown right now. This depression is eating me deeply and I might succumb to the rage. I cannot do this alone, as I am facing the biggest depression I couldn't ever imagine. I lost my Job in a printing Press, my Ex left the 2 young children,4 and 6 with me. I struggle hard to feed them or even feed myself. I am at a crossroad that I feel lost and cannot find the light at the end of the tunnel. I have made several efforts but I thought probably God didn't like me enough ,and maybe the other side is better ,more peaceful and relieving.

No food, money to arrange for the kids resumption in school and rent for the single room i occupy is due already. I am DOOMED. angry sad

Please Help cry

Igbo will not notice this but will be quick to say Yoruba hate them. Who can we actually call slaves in Nigeria? Is not the criminal minded Igbo tribe that no one can trust?

We will soon put you where you belong, you think Yoruba will ever need you? Hell no, you are the one that will always depend on Yorubas and other tribe to survive in Nigeria. A word is enough for the wise but I doubt you are wise enough to understand this on your own
