The fact he stated is completely irrelevant. Think about a man who actually ruled in lagos and he claim he built lagos yet he lost there and a man who came from a party that is barely know to beat him at his strong hold even after all threat and violence against igbos. You guys don't have wisdom at all, I just wonder how u justify tinubu lost in his home state and u don't find that shameful.

Some bigots will not know that Amala is called Alibo in Igbo....why the banta?
Take note:

Elubo is the original and popular Yoruba name for the grinded dried yam powder [which is then used to make Amala by stiring it in hot water till it becomes semi-solid Amala].

The word "Alibo" is not Ibo but a corruption of the Yoruba word Elubo. Even the Hausas phonetically call it "Alibo," even though the real Yoruba pronunciation is Elubo.


Elubo - Grinded dried yams.
Amala - Grinded dried yams (Elubo) meal or swallow.

A few ethnic groups that are close neighbors to the Yorubas, such as the Igalas eat Amala as well with their own soups perhaps because of their part Yoruboid ancestral connections. I saw the reference to the Igalas eating Amala on a YouTube food channel a few years back.

But now there's issue. Why ??

The 2023 election really destroyed whatever shred of unity we have been enjoying.
so true, shameful enough the very same people who claim they want to lead and unite Nigeria are the very same people who propagate hate, just to get ahead, any leaders who genuinely wants to lead knows the importance of unity and wouldn't employ online trolls and encourage them to hate on others not of their ethnicity.

I wouldn't eat amala or any yoruba food for anything..

But at same time I wouldn't think of stopping anyone that want to eat it from doing so..

But imagine igbos wanting to host "akpu day" in Lagos,you and I know that it will be met with strong resistance from those that accuses igbos of taking over their lands..

Let's not be hypocritical here..



Nobody will stop them from hosting the Akpu or Ofe Nsala or Ofe Owerri festival in Lagos...

Mind you Akpu, which we yoruba call Fufu is not an igbo food only. The igbo version is strong like olumo rock. While the yoruba version is very pliable and soft, for easy digestion.

Lol point out the person who said it's a no man's land. Just one prominent person during the campaign season. What u are saying is huge excuse for u to make an argument. Up till date no one is able to point one politician who made that statement. It was even former gov jakande who made that statement before shuha shagari. So how is it now an igbo man who made the statement.

Ok even it's an igbo man why did u now find it offensive?

You see if it has been in the South West for example ondo or Ekiti that wants to host abacha or akpu festival will there be uproar ,I tell you they are the most tribalistic tribe on Earth but they accuse others of being tribalistic

That’s a lot of Yoruba people for you (I love Ondo and Ekiti though). They like to attach themselves to things that are obviously Igbo (Osuofia, isi
-ewu, Aki and Paw-Paw, Igbo-English Nollywood, ogbono) but turn around to say that they can’t imagine being anything but Yoruba and that they make Nigeria what it is, that Igbos are just an inferior distant-second-tier version of them who happen to have some decent foods. Yoruba tribalists are complete idiots. Scum of the earth.

Sometimes there’s a degree of ignorance Yorubas have towards Igbos (lumping Calabar people with Igbos is bad enough; a lot of people feel like not referring to them by individual tribe or at least the generalised Ibibio-Efik conglomerate is bad enough) in the sense of having an insular way of viewing Nigeria outside Yorubaland (because they’re so much more used to the one they know) but that one I can excuse as just being ignorance. I’m not advocating for tribalism in any form (like, whatsoever) and there’s good and bad in and about every ethnic group but let’s just say I understand it when it comes from Igbos off the back of being done dirty in the Biafran war and the political marginalisation since. Yoruba tribalists are some of the worst people alive.

I am from Lagos I find it offensive and an insult. A true Lagosian find it extremely offensive.

Of course, No sane politician will make such an offensive statement. But the narratives and body says it all.
What happened, during the last election is shocking, but truth be told it is expected.
And mind you. Something similar or worse will still happen, during the next election. Except those tribe pushing that insultive statement, desist.......

Is like an igbo man that was born and bred in Oyo state, calling it no man's land. That person will be decapitated immediately

Just imagine. Tribalism on-top food matter. That means it would be bloody should a non-ibo try to contest for election in the South East if they can be this crazy because of food.
Their demonic efforts to make other People to hate Yorubas shall always fail as their selfish demonic Greedy Plans have always failed throughout History of Nigeria. They brainwashed Jonathan by giving him Igbo Name and pocketed him to using his Government to colonize Nigeria for 6 long Years.

Nnamdi Azikiwe's cancerous Envy for the Great Obafemi Awolowo. Did you read History of how Awolowo went to plan Partnership with Azikiwe just before independence that Azikiwe should be the Prime Minister and he would be his Deputy because as Awo foresaw and called his attention to, that it would be too Disastrous to allow Fulanis to Lead the Post-independence Nigeria. Azikiwe and Awolowo took an Oath as Southern Brothers to together become the First Leaders of Nigeria since Nigeria is a Political Scripture of Gangup of 2 against 1 among the 3: Yoruba, Igbo, HausaFualni.

Awolowo was shocked to marrow when he saw Azikiwe with Tafawa Balewa on TV the following morning Launching alliance with the Fualni to become the first Leaders of Post-independent Nigeria. Azikiwe hates so much that all European News Papers, American, Western World and other African Countries News Papers have been Praising Awolowo as the first-ever Genius African Leader that was Creating Western World kind of Industrial and Technological Advancement on African Land for the first time in History of Humanity, achieving things in Yoruba Land that were only in Top Countries like America, Germany, UK, etc and not even yet in many European Countries as at then. Azikiwe felt so intimidated despite that Awo submitted to be his Deputy to save Southern Nigeria from future Fulani Destructions that later happened for several Years down the line just as Awolowo the man that Saw tomorrow has warned. Azikiwe the father of Betrayals in Nigeria betrayed Awolowo, and rather went to submit himself to Fualnis as their slave compensated with figure-head Position. He did that just because he knew that Nigeria is guaranteed to surely Develop if he adopted the Partnership with Awolowo, but he felt the whole World would still have known that Awolowo despite being his Deputy is the Real Brain behind the Greatness that would have happened, by now all Africans, Philippines, Pakistanis, etc would be begging for Nigeria's Visa. So, he myopically think Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo would have still gotten all the Praise and Glory indirectly even just as a deputy.

You can see how Igbos wickedly Selfish Desire to see nobody else shine except themselves made them to plunge Nigeria into Crisis that the Great Obafemi Awolowo strive to prevent even before it was foolishly birthed?! Only GOD ALMIGHTY knows how many hundreds of thousands of indigenous Nigerian Tribes that Fulanis have killed, slaughtered maimed since that evil union that Azikiwe orchestrated and Aguyi Ironsi further Strengthened by using unprecedented Military Decree to abolish and destroy the Original Regional Federal Governmental System in his demonic hope to corner all the Supreme Authority over other Tribes under himself as the selfish greedily wicked Soul that he is, Fulanis soon took over at took maximum Advantage of that satanic Change that Aguyi Ironsi made against innocent Nigeria and Nigerians. The innocent Blood of all Nigerians slaughtered is upon the head of this wickedly Greedy People that has always from onset seek their ulterior motive and evil plan to Dominate and Enslave the innocent Tribes and Lands of indigenous Nigerians.

The most intolerant people/tribe of all time
shocked Gentle Reminder!
As someone already rightly said that when you see Snake and see an Igbo, quickly Kill the Igbo because they are more evil and deceptive that Snakes. All Hundreds of Millions of indigenous Tribes of Nigeria have clearly seen how Igbos would have Enslaved, Ridicule and Trampled on them had it been Obi became President. We thank GOD he never did. History has proven that Igbos only respect and fear brutal Fulanis because Fulani Governments showed them the only Language they love, mercilessly Killing them with highest Brutality during and after the Civil War until the Great Obafemi Awolowo later pleaded with the Fualnis on their behalf. Instead of slaughtering them like they often do in the North, Yorubas have shown Igbos too much Love and they always pay back with bitter Hatred towards any Tribe that does that! Because they are like Scorpion and Snake rolled into one, Igbos are the only strange evil kind of humans on Earth that don't have ability to respect you back when you respect them or to Love back, they immediately see you as a weakling and a Big fool that they must Trample upon whenever you show them Love or Respect.

As Tinubu once made that mistake in Lagos when he was Governor, showing Igbos love, accomondation and mercy would only make them to hate you the more! He gave their Children free School Fees Opportunity, allowed their adults to start becoming Commissioners of Lagos, etc. The more you try to Love them, the Bigger and more Wicked the Hatred they would direct at you. Look at how they paid Tinubu back with the worst Campaign of Calumny and most bitter Character Assassination efforts in the History of Nigeria.

See why all indigenous Tribes of Nigeria are now thanking God that Obi never became President, what was experienced by non-Igbo Tribes in the hands of Igbos-hijacked Jonathan Presidency! https://www.nairaland.com/745731/yoruba-marginalization-elders-met-jonathan
