He explained that his visit was to identify with the people of Yorubaland, as Warri people regard themselves as part of the Yoruba stock"

Go and take your medication. You've lost your mind again.
We do not care about your numbers, we do not care about your people. We are not with you, wish us all the evil you can, it won't change a thing. Besides you don't even know us. All you know are some stupid fairytales which talk about us.
Below is a Precolonial map of Benin.
We are not what you think we are. But again, you do not know us. Anybody who wants to annex us should give it a try and see how it pens out for his people. In this case it is a Yoruba who wants an entirely other ethnic group to attack us. Attack by proxy, like the cowards you guys are. It is good you guys just keep making assumptions about us, when the war comes, you and your proxy will be defeated due to surprise effect among other things.

"We are many"-tribe struck again. To these guys it is all about how many they are. Meanwhile tiny Eritrea gave a bloody nose to Ethiopia, tiny Japan humiliated China, tint Rome took over all of Europe except Russia. Tint Rwanda humiliates Congo on a regular basis. Tiny Cameroon took bakassi from Nigeria...yeah, it is all about how many you are 🤣 tiny Afghanistan dealt with: the UK, Russia, and the USA.
But this is just typical of the yoruba who love to call themselves "sophisticated", they are overemotional and evil minded.

Binidiot, can you fight a war? Only Ijesha, a Yoruba subgroup, could have annexed that village through Ogedengbe; your Oba had to beg him with valuables.

Ogedengbe, the husband of Akokos and Ekitis.

Efewestern:
Awolowo was too pro-Yoruba to be a leader in a diverse region like West. He only dived into the Olu Tussle because of Itsekiri's Yoruba link/ancestry. A suicidal political move that cost him a lot. He also allocated more to Ibadan with less population than Benin with higher population. His only political allies were mainly from the Itsekiri stock, that's to tell you how pro-Yoruba he's. People like Rewane stood by him till the end, while political gladiators from Urhobo/Benin rallied with Azikiwe who was also trying to weaken Awo's growing influences.

Also, you are wrong with the quoted. Awolowo never instigated the COR demand for separation. The minorities in the then Eastern region were already demanding for a separate region and the removal of Eyo-Eta strengthened their resolve for their independence. Minorities had no good anywhere. It was hell everywhere. Those in Northern received the highest slaps of injustice.

We don't want to open the cankerworm of the past, but if we are to, then we should speak the truth at all time.

Interesting piece! "Restore the study of History in Nigerian schools!"

You guys believe in your fairytales way too much.
If Ogedengbe was that strong, then why was he so poor as can be seen in where he lives.
Show me prove of the Obz "begging" Ogedengbe.

Stoplying:
Weird that he is not quoted as saying that. His quote says something different completely, that is just the interpretation of the journalist whom is biased.
The Olu was saying that all Nigerians are one.
He doesn't say his kingdom is part of "Yoruba nation", he makes a clear distinction between his kingdom and "Yoruba nation".

demmie1:
Definitely you are brainless. Ogedengbe lived 150yrs ago do you want him to pose in front of a skyscraper wearing Gucci? The way you people refuse to think before spilling your ignorance is dispicable

The country has long being divided since 1960, its too late in the day to saying the obvious

Interesting piece! "Restore the study of History in Nigerian schools!" Is my response. A beclouded past creates an uncertain future!
Not at all interested in the stupid tribal war being fought in nairaland by the minions of the criminals ruling and ruining our lives called "politicians!" Majority of the politicians in Africa are nothing more than the most brazen crooks in our midst!

Raskimonojendor:
I gladly support this. History is rich.

Ezeama400:
Only you will accuse Igbos of being an aggressor, marginalizing and dealing with minorities, only you will turn around again and start saying that Igbos are victims of minorities..

Look at what hate has done to your brain and psyche..smh

Ttalk:
@ OP is that the reason why Igbo want to kolobi SS land?

For clarity post the pics of your dead Biafra and let's see who is oppressing who.

You can't rewrite history as no SSner will want to have anything to do with the SE, no amount of toasting will make that happen.

When the presidency is rotated back to the South that's when all these paparazzi will fall on your face.

So far the SS have been playing their political game intelligently and would likely get the presidency when it comes back to the South, what then becomes of all these egotistical chest beating?

Goodvibes007:
I agree history needs to be brought back.

For example, not many Nigerians knew that the Itsekiri and the Benin sold ibos as slaves.

And let me get this right: Benin did 'ot beg the British, Benin fought the British, ijesha gave up to the British without a fight, but somehow Benin begged an ijesha man according to your fairytale?
Does this make sense?

Let me remind you that the region was infested with Europeans who loved writing what they saw in that period of time, so please show me an eyewitness written record which proves your claim.

Your people always confuse fairytales with history.

Elliotwaveforec:
Truly, you're an idiot (Binidiot).

Now, go home and ask your grandparents about what transpired between Ogedengbe and Oba of Benin.

Ezeama400:
Create a topic for that ... Face the topic and stop deviating

This thread includes how Oba of Benini was locked outside because he came late and treated with disdain in western traditional rulers council dominated by Yoruba traditional rulers..

The creation of mid-western region was vehemently opposed by Awolowo and the western region even though Awolowo worked tirelessly for and supported the creation of the Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers (COR) region to be carved out from the Eastern region.

With the oil rich region now independent from Ibadan and the discovery of large deposits of crude in Rivers, Awolowo's western region would have been the poorest region after the secession of Biafra and Mid-West Region.

This is the sole reason Awolowo renegaded on his declaration to secede once Biafra leaves


Thank God for Azikiwe's intervention that liberated mid West..

Average SW person hates hearing this..

Kapeter:
You nor even sabi quote well. Pained akpu muncher. Yorubas never have any problem giving freedom to people that are never part of us. The wqhole world knows the "we SS/SE group. And stop lying, Adaka Baro only wanted out of yeastern region and never from azukawere one nijeriya. Stop lying.

Raskimonojendor:
In Nigerian politics, the ibos have now been relegated behind the SS. Everything the tribalist Azikiwe fought for gone into the dustbin. They were even actively trying to stop The Akwa Ibom guy from becoming the Senate President and instead camped with a northerner.

The current crop of Ibo politicians are as dumb as a door knob. The fools are not even United.

Decades after the failed Biafran mission that was doomed from the get go, they are still trying to attach the SS to their failed project. They can't even get Ebonyi state into their Biafrian failed mission let alone toast other tribes from the SS.

Stoplying:
That "palace" was made with cement, it is not 869 years old, it was built in the colonial or post colonial era.
You are always deluded.

43Ronin:
you always spew lies as history why? Adaka boro was seeking the independence of Ijaw nation from Nigeria not from SE. And what did Aguiyu ironsi do wrong? He did his work as a soldier by putting down the rebellion, same thing he did to the first 1966 coup plotters. Adaka Boro along with the 1966 coup plotters were also jailed and being tried for treason before Ironsi was killed. History is not being taught in schools because people are wiser now and will tell who the actual fault of the civil war was. Adaka boro was eventually killed by the Adekunle(Black scorpion) after he realised that thr civil war was about the extermination of his people alongside the igbos. The Asaba massacre brought him back to his senses.

Pls let's open everything. If anyone has more bring it and quote a viable source not lies or my papa say

Please tell me why are you IPOBs obsessed with Yorùbás.

Efewestern:
What source do you need? That Benin was suppressed and received less allocations? Or that Awolowo got himself into the Warri entanglement because of tribal affiliations? Or that the minorities in Western region weren't oppressed? None of these are hearsay. They are raw facts.

I'm not here to demonize or praise anyone. Nigeria is a very peculiar country. Our differences and diversities can be a valid reason why people act in certain way.

Like I have hinted. Awolowo was too pro-Yoruba. Probably one of the most dedicated Yoruba politician. Azikiwe was more a nationalist but when he received reality shock, he crawled back to his tribal enclave.

Vinnie2000:
He remained a Nationalist till Death,Bro.

In 1979, His Party NPP won Election in Faraway Plateau state. (Solomon Lar). 🤨🙂

He was called Zik of Africa and was NOT a Ethnic Warlord Politician like Buhari, Awolowo and Tinubu.
He was Pan-Nigerian like the current day Peter Obi. 😊😎
