Why Are Yorubas Unanimously Supporting Tinubu To Fight Niger Republic? by SOSinNigeria: 7:03pm On Aug 04, 2023
I have observed a very disturbing situation in Nigeria. Since Tinubu began his war mongering and threats to invade Niger republic, most Yorubas are supporting him passionately. I have also observed that most Northerners are against going to war against
Niger republic. While Igbos mostly appear to be warning against invasion of Niger republic.

The question is why are yorubas passionately supporting war against Niger? A tribe that is never known for war mongering has suddenly become lions pushing their brother Tinubu to go to war against Niger republic. Is it because it will be fought in the North, between Hausas, Fulanis and Kanuris in both sides. A war that will turn Northern Nigeria into a wasteland where terrorists will forever rule over? A war that will result in millions of refugees flooding down South?

I will like to ask, if this a war against Benin republic, would Yorubas also support it the way they're supporting war against Niger? Knowing that Lagos and their region will be the war front?

Why the hypocrisy? Why the double standards?

It is not about Niger Republic. The Yorubas are almost unanimous in their very disgusting support for their bastard brother they call BAT. From the 'enlightened' and cosmopolitan Yorubas to the illiterate ones. The best among them choose to form a loud silence or seeming indifference.

What is most heartbreaking is the realisation that these people are demonic bigots, to the extent of not even wanting nationalists or moderates from among them to be president. They want a closet bigot with ways and means to propagate and cement a warped sense of Yoruba supremacy of some sort. At all cost. . That's why they detested and still detest Obasanjo. That's why they scoffed at someone like Osibanjo. A discredited criminally unworthy entity like BAT is their pride and joy for reasons that only leave a sour taste in the mouth.

IWhat we are witnessing is the worst in Nigeria's history.... Even worse than what northerners have been doing when their people were in power.

I have cancelled almost all my Yoruba associates. Without remorse. And it would remain like that forever because I never forget, and never forgive.

Most Igbos both the intellectuals and politicians are against invasion of Nigeria. However, on the contrary, most Yorubas are encouraging war against Niger, even when they know it will put Northern Nigeria at grave danger. From Kayode to even Okupe who is in LP is asking Nigerians to support Tinubu in war against Niger.

I'm even surprised that Northerners are not seeing through your shenanigans.

It's either you're ignorant of the existencial threat on Northern Nigeria or knows it but covertly hoping it will happen for whatever wicked reasons.

There are millions of Northerners who are poor, unemployed and ready to cause anarchy with little motivation. Once war breaks out, Niger will be ravaged, small arms proliferation will provide a new means of engagement for the thousands of youths who are idle and hungry in the North. They will turn against the rest of the country and cause anarchy. Those in the South will push back, but those in the North will be too overwhelmed to mount any resistance.

I'm even surprised that Biafra secessionists are not excited because they're the ones that ought to be playing the roles Tinubu supporters are currently playing. A war in Niger and collapse of North will make Nigeria's breakup much easier.

The decision to fight or not lies solely with the National Assembly which has in its population over 400 Nigerian nationals among whom are APC, PDP, LP, ANPP, NNPP,SDP etc party faithfuls...

So, nothing anyone here may say that can influence the decisions of the two Houses.

Now on the issue of Biafra secessionists,you really surprised me with your selective recollection of events in this week that had bothered much on them wishing for a coup d'etat and that Nigeria should go to war with Niger both on Nairaland and twitter....

Lol πŸ˜‚

OP should rather ask why are multitude of Ibos supporting coup and echoing the narrative of coup.

Yorubas have shown to be true patriot of this country. I don’t see Yoruba carrying placard around that Tinubu should go to war by fire by force.

We have Yorubas that support Nigeria invasion of Niger while some are opposing it. But you Ibo people through your false alarm will want to project one narrative against the Yoruba to drive your agenda.

Personally, I do not think ECOWAS through the leadership of Nigeria should invade Niger and that is because we personally have a lot to deal with at home currently and Tinubu is just a new government.

But Tinubu is somehow acting as ECOWAS chairman and they must not be seen as a toothless bulldog because if they fail to act, more countries Military will be emboldened to activate coups and soon all of West Africa will be controlled by the military. By then, Africa will be worse than it currently is because military guys will eradicate any semblance of free speech and chaos will ensue especially in Nigeria with multi ethnic group.

If I am the president, I will just sanction Niger and make life unbearable for the military rulers without firing a single shot. But as Bola Tinubu, he can do what’s best judging from his security report and also take into consideration Nigeria current situation.

Let me school you.

The north believes that Ilorin is a part of the north. Muslims in Kwara started fighting Yoruba who are into traditional religion in Ilorin. It's good that either the north or Niger is destroyed by war because major ethnic groups in the north are also major groups in Niger. If you try anything down South, Amotekun will finish you.

It's called using someone's else hand to draw scorpions from its hole.

Yorubas are so stupid that they forget the outcome of escalating aby crisis in Niger through military intervention will inevitably lead to a refugee crisis from Niger republic not only across our porous Northern borders with Niger, but there will also be a downstream of those refugees pouring down South as well, and guess where they will migrate to first? LAGOS!! And these refugees will come with more crimes, and proliferation of dangerous arms and ammunition as well.
