Prof is a committed democrat who understood that in a democracy, you have to build the bridges and win a nationally contested election to be president.

Peter Obi the religious bigot believed he can win election with only Christian votes and he waged religious war polarizing pastors to use their sacred altar for propaganda. He even went all the way to tell Bishop Oyedepo what propaganda to push on a certain day especially when you know the Bishop got thousands or millions of adherents.

Even Tinubu who chose a Muslim-Muslim ticket still appeal to the Christians and had to go all the way to CAN headquarters to explain himself.

There might be an Ibo president in the future, but it won’t be Obi because he already killed his chances by himself. I tip Prof. Soludo in that regard.

My dear brother. I respect Prof but not that dearly to submit Yoruba under an Ibo rulership. Any Ibo that wants to become president must first enter into a sealed agreement that he will not be conferred with the title commander in chief. This means his security chiefs are appointed for him, and they will not report directly to him. Also, Senate President and House Speaker positions, SE will be excluded from eligibility.

What Prof is saying is we have been unfair to Ibo. Quite contrary.

Look on the landscape for a minute, and it is easy to see Yorubaland is very vulnerable.

Two and half years ago, 2020, in the election leading to Akeredolu's second term in Ondo. Adeyinka Grandson made a taped recording and asked if Ondo people were not appalled that their first lady was an Ibo. He inferred that it is an abnormality, and such will never be allowed in Iboland. So the options in Ondo would be to abandon Akeredolu for Eyitayo Jegede, the PDP candidate. It was realized Jegede's wife is also from Cross River, or Akwa Ibom. This is Ondo, not Lagos o.

Go to Oyo, same story. Their past governor Ajimobi was married to indigenized Lebanese. He was succeeded by Seyi Makinde, whose wife is from Rivers.

Presently in Osun, there are two first ladies, Titilola Adeleke, and Ngozi Adeleke. Ile-Ife, the sacred Yoruba city is in Osun State. The governor gives Ooni staff of office. If Ngozi calls a meeting to address wives of Obas in Osun, the wife of Ooni must attend and address Ngozi with protocol. This is not Lagos o, na Osun.

So, is it any wonder that another Ibo woman, Ify came very close to becoming a first lady in Lagos?

If that had happened -
Osun first lady -Ibo
Oyo first lady - Ijaw/Okrika
Ondo first lady - Ibo
Lagos first lady - Ibo
Ogun first lady - Yoruba
Ekiti first lady - Yoruba

But because CGV did not succeed in Lagos, the true picture is below.

Osun first lady -Ibo
Oyo first lady - Ijaw/Okrika
Ondo first lady - Ibo
Lagos first lady - Ibo Yoruba
Ogun first lady - Yoruba
Ekiti first lady - Yoruba

In SE, how many Yoruba first ladies are there?
In SS, how many Yoruba first ladies are there?

But professor say we need to be fair to SE.

Ok, let's show how SE has been fair to others.
First lady of Ondo, Betty Akeredolu wanted to run for Senate, so she went home to Imo. Her people rejected her, told her she is married to Yoruba, and to go represent Yoruba people.

Professor Soyinka is on the border of becoming a nuisance on Yoruba issues.

When someone like Betty Akeredolu cannot run for election in her native home because of marriage to Yoruba, how about her children, would they ever be eligible to contest election in SE, or would full blooded Yoruba have to step aside so half-breeds can rule over us?

What is future of Yoruba women in Yorubaland, dont they deserve to wear the crown of first lady, why are we displacing them with our votes? We fail to reflect because our ethos have been exploited by leaders like Soyinka, Obasanjo, Adebanjo...each of them with in-laws in Iboland. It is in their interest that their half-breed grandchildren become somebody in future and make name. The way to assure that is beg full blood Yoruba to yield to Ibo.

Let CGV serve as lessons learnt. Let also the crowning of foreigners as first ladies in Yorubaland serve as eye opener.

Yoruba women Lokan!

Spread this message.
I pity this your kind of mentality and I weep for you. Now, it is the tribe of people wife that is your concern. This your ethno-religion sentiment is archaic and insensitive to the trend of the world. Trying to pelt one tribe against the other is now your stock in trade. For goodness sake what concern the tribe of any governor wife with governance. To you now to marry wives from other tribes by Yoruba men is an abomination. This is senseless, barbaric, insensitive and archaic to the least. If you don't know you're trying to fan the ember of tribalism, sectionalism and even racism with people of same sovereign nation. Please what kind human being are you?

My kind advise to you, is for you to stop this madness because it is against any known law and customs in Nigeria. Intermarriage is constitutionally recognized by law and often encouraged but now using it as a tool of political gymnastics is what I don't know. Desist forthwith.

He ruined the chances. Obi tried creating division instead of looking for something that can unite Nigeria. His campaign never made sense to me even when I didn't have a candidate but I decided to vote him at that cubicle asking God's will be done and I am wondering why. Something wasn't just falling in place for me to see him. To me he is not the man, Igbos can look for someone else
This was the same thing Osinbajo said, why voting who you don't believe in?
You claimed you don't understand his campaign but still went to vote him. It means you're indecisive and cannot take concrete decision when it matters most. Meaning you only lied that you voted him. I can bet that you didn't vote him. You may wish to do so but later changed mind but to claim you voted him but still turnaround to say, you didn't understand his campaign but still vote him, is a big fat lie.
If there is any candidate in the last presidential election that campaign based on issues and always reel out his ambition for the country, is no other person than Peter Obi. He was the only one that really engaged Nigerians through different platforms while the rest were using surrogates. Now for you to turnaround and say you didn't understand his campaign, meaning you're telling lie from the pit of hell.

It was Ibos people that made GEJ lost. Every region voted massively for him in his first term.
But Ibos infiltrated his government and turned him against other tribes. Ibos took advantage of his naivety, but GEJ is wiser today.

I will never insult Prof Wole Soyinka because he is a patriot.

He is from the Yoruba school of thought who believed we should concede to the Ibos to foster national unity. Prof. even had to dare death during the civil war to visit the East which led to his detention.

Bro, Peter Obi CANNOT be elected president in Nigeria, not now and not in 20years. His time is spent already, wake up to reality.

Online we do hear Yoruba Christian/Muslims from Ibo people who try creating the divide, we never knew it’s a direct assignment from Ibo leadership like Peter Obi. For him to strategically try to drive a wedge between SW christians/Muslims shows the kind of asinineee character he has.

One good thing I love is that people that share the mindset of Prof in the SW don’t have the power to effect anything. Anything they say is just for academic purpose and the school of thought that wield power in the West have a different approach to the Ibo question.

Mr embodiment of knowledge, king solomon, political analyst, are you done?

Won't you find another fault in Soludo when the time comes if there would ever be.

Just go back to your foot of ethnic and religious bigotry lifestyle and believe.

Obi appealed to both christian and muslims and countless times asked you nit to vote for him because he is igbo or Christian.

Give me one mantra of your principal who never saw fit any of his party members from the northern christian enclave to deputize him.


What religious war, segregation and undermining is worst than that.

See this one dreaming, which school of taught in Yoruba land making decision? or school of thugs? You guys trying to push this tribal madness should be ashamed of yourselves, you lost Lagos despite the intimidation of voters and you still think Obi is an Ibo or Ipob project? if not for the intimidation after calling your own son a slave you would've lost Lagos to GRV.
Peter Obi cannot be President of Nigeria, not now or 20 years to come, i say again wake up from your dream sir, remember what you people said last year? 4 people twitting in a room, no structure, no elected Gov, senators and HOR members, Obi will give up before the elections, he will come distant 4th position? today the music has changed, Obi is a treth to the great drug Lord of Africa

No, the reason I personally like Soludo is because he is a friend of everybody and he is not infested with hate. If in the future, he also run a divisve campaign, the likeness will be erased.

Soludo just few days ago still invited LATSMA to Anambra to train Anambra agency who does the same functionality. Soludo always extend hand of friendship everywhere and even to the central government when he agreed to be part of the economic team.

Contrast his behavior to that of Peter Obi and you will understand why we will never like a divisive character like Peter Obi.

Open and read how Yoruba citizens were sent to Igbo land to understudy their trading prowess.

Stop making noise here. IGBOS AREN'T YOUR MATE.
