Which yeye media prowess is that? To completely absolve yourself from any blame, see how you have to amplify others? Abeg make we hear word. Media prowess my foot. So its media from another region that is making who you think are your kith and kin to deny you?

I no blame u sha. The same way alot of you have been brainwashed to never accept any responsbility but blame someone else is also the same way una like to deh blame devil weh no do nothing or sabi anything.

Keep playing kalo kalo with the truth. When you are mature and ready to tell yourselves the truth, you will introspect.
The energy you used to jump into this mention says it all. Why are people afraid of seeing South East Igbos and South south Igbos calling themselves brothers. What is the reason. Before you will say shiii they will quickly tell you that Igbos are only 5 states. All the chibuikes, Amechis, and all Igbos of Niger Delta should just not be United with their own people.

What concerns me What they want to be considered as. That's their problem.
As you can see, we are not begging anyone to be called Yoruba, they are the ones coming to us.
You on the other hand are trying to force people to be called igbos 3ven when they say that rhey are not.
Anyone that says he or she is not Yoruba doesn't bother us one bit. We are ok with what we have. We are not begging or trying to force anyone to be Yoruba. That's the difference.
All the denials are triggered by past events and the fear of emergency of Biafra. They believe that if Igbos are caved in into NIGERIA without a sea boundary of their own that issue of Biafra will die down. Imagine Buhari calling Biafra dot in a circle. We know the politics behind that. Like you said, nobody should be forced to belong to anywhere, likewise Biafrans should not be forced to remain in Nigeria. When Biafra is actualized, the indeginous people of the land will come home like the prodigal son who went into exile.

Itsekiri is a Bini fiefdom, stop the attaché by force. Northern yorubas are conquered slaves of the fulani caliphate and will rightly remain so forever, the only thing yorubas can do is make empty noise and beat there ewedu chest
Itsekiri will disagree with you...
From Reno to Remi, they're always part of the Yoruba race..

Are they northerners or are they yorubas?
Are they Yoruba obas leading northerners or Northern obas leading Yorubas?
Are they slaves or leaders of the slaves or installed to control the slave??

What us meant by "returned home"? Is kwara not a Yoruba state?
some of them are being turbaned.

Energy or no energy, leave Yoruba alone and focus on your neighbours. Which kind wahala be this? Is there any Yoruba preventing you people from trekking into south south or is there any curfew placed on you from getting there? Asari that threatens u people every now and then, is he Yoruba or is it yoruba media that brainwashed him? Nsima that is fighting una night and day, that one too na yoruba media cause am abi? nnaa mehn that has been threatened several times not to step foot in various parts of south south, how is that yoruba media problem? Ijaw youths warned you sotay dey even do press release say make una no bring anything called igbo unity enter bayelsa? They also warned simon ekpa not to insert them into his newly biafra created states. These are links:

https://www.nairaland.com/8045876/ijaws-not-part-biafra-iyc
https://www.nairaland.com/7852379/concerned-ijaw-youths-petition-igp

And here's a snapshot of the ijaw press release down below. So na yoruba media do all these one so? You should be ashamed of yourselves then. Big shame. Any small problem una face, una go sha involve yorubas weh deh thousands of miles away from una as the cause. E be like Fulani no deh reign again na. Now na yoruba. You marry, u no give ur woman belle, na yoruba cause am. P-square fight each other, una go say na hin yoruba wife cause am. Mtcheew.

This is how it should be. Nobody should forcefully drag anybody into joining any group but they must show their convinction.

But what can Ooni do, after talking to Ooni they need to push for referendum.

Modified: This is basically a Yoruba thread for Yoruba people by Yoruba people. I hope the whole world are seeing the Igbo comments. One thing Yorubas will say now and everybody will turn to victims.
RONU BIGOTS, stop land grabbing Kwara and Kogi

Shouting "cowards, backstabbing, betrayal etc" is the Igbos' default way of masking their pain of generational defeat.

So, the Northern Yoruba Obas are suddenly concerned about identity and dignity?

Funny how Peter Obi was all about unity, yet here we are with divisions popping up like weeds.

If only he had focused on real issues instead of playing politics with people's emotions.

Ooni, keep doing your thing; some of us recognize true leadership when we see it.
Come are you high on drugs? What is rhe connection with PO and northern Obas?

Same Obi that deported northerners out of Anambra while he was governor.
Same Obi that was shouting "church take back your country"
Same Obi that was waging a religious war and the audio was leaked
Same Obi that was campaigning only in Christian dominated arears in the north
This here my fellows is a typical example of someone who ran faster than his senses. All the allegations you made especially that of deportation were all debunked by the same northerners.

Are talking about those who rejected a Bishop for no other reason but because he was not from their own State ?
Don't bother yourself
But Okojie was rejected from Ibadan before he became Lagos archdiocese Bishop. Oga see I have been warning you until you get arrested una eyes go clear. Thank God now the government is taking this ethnic baiting seriously. You will be the first person to be picked up.

Benin is an Ile Ife fiefdom

That is the Gospel Truth

Even Ilorin was not Conquered by the Fulani

Yoruba Balogun Alanamu and his supporters had already defeated and deposed the Emir Momoh of ilorin

Yoruba balogun alanamu was ruling Ilorin when the British arrived
It was Rulers of Ilorin Yoruba Balogun Alanamu who the British fought for Control of Ilorin

It was the British that reinstated the defeated Emirs

When the British granted independence they already had an agreement with the Balewa Azikiwe FG
that a Referendum would be held in Kwara on rejoining the Western Region

It was Azikiwe and Balewa that failed to carry it out because they thought
It would make Awolowo more powerful
You can lie for Africa oooo. First stop there was nothing like Kwara state in the 60s state creation of Kwara came about in the 70s during marital to separate Niger from kwara. Ilorin was a province under the northern region, and there was never any time a referendum was to be made for Ilorin to join Western Region.
Stop lying please remove that moniker called Christ truth because you are big time liar.

Azikiwe started tribalism.amd nepotism.
That is a big fat lie. Even the British knew that of the three it was Zik that was more pan Nigerian than the rest.
You people should stop the senseless lies. Until tribalism is treated as a national security issue and the likes of you are thrown in jail una no go get sense.

More of Azikiwe's tribalism. Written by members of Azikiwe's party about how he used nepotism and tribalism to fill Goverment jobs with Ibos over other Nigerian tribes.

Azikiwe filling all positions with his fellow ibos despite being less qualified. 👇👇👇
You guys like to lie a lot. So Zik who was ceremonial president without any powers of authority and administration would now fill every parastatal with igbos abi.
The fact that Nigerian civil service had more igbos in positions in the civil service before independence meant nothing to you abi.
Oga see ehn when you want lie, do it with finesse and stop being sloppy in your lies.

Ironsi and the Ibo coupists continued where Azikiwe stopped.
👇👇👇


26 Ibo officers and 4 "Yorubas, but" and 1 Urhobo.
Again let me stop you there. Can you in all sincerity tell us which tribe has the most officers in the Nigerian army officers corps which would be higher in conposition if a coup happened? Please be sincere.

After bribing some few northern people in Anambra... Those northerners he bribed just cashed out on top Obi head grin grin

The vast majority of northerners knew the truth because Obi really deported northerners and those he could not deport, he used the instruments of government to destroy their business while he was governor and do not try to patronise me with your mumu lies because I am a northerner and there are people I know personally that were victims.

Hope you know that ethnic baiting and dog whistling is a criminal offence in Nigeria. Look ot take a petition to the IGP against nairaland for them to bring out their server logs and your identity will be unravelled and you will be arrested. Don't ruin your life on the altar of tribalism.

There are problems on ground. Obasanjo met $5.5 billion in reserve in May 1999 with huge debts. He left estimated $60 billion in reserve and other investments. He paid debts otherwise the total money would have been around $72 billions or $75 billions. Yaradua Jonathan government came, sold oil up to $130 per barrel and output of around 2 million barrel per day. Jonathan government did not save ONE KOBO and borrowed heavily. They spent the money Obasanjo saved. No major project in South West apart from road coming from South South which passed Ore and stopped long way before Ijebu Ode. This time, Ijebu Ode (J3) to Lagos road was nightmare, very chaotic. You spent Shorter time from Portharcourt or Onitsha to Ore than Ijebu Ode (J3) to Lagos, in fact you can sleep on the road. Nobody asked the government why the Project did not start from Lagos or from Sagamu. Now, they are questioning the rationale behind Lagos Calabar highway starting from Lagos.

They looted estimated $100 billion and empowered their kinsmen businesses worldwide. They acquired properties in Lagos and Abuja. What saddened my heart is that South South people never benefitted from that government apart from few people. They handed over $25 billion to Buhari, the key economic team members travelled out of Nigeria before Jonathan handed over government.

Jonathan in a national network presidential broadcast before handing over said nobody should probe him except they start from Tafawa Balewa (1960).

They assumed Jonathan government looted and favoured IBOs, Buhari came and favoured Fulani / North, so Tinubu is coming to favor the Yorubas and they are apprehensive. They are fighting the Yorubas spiritually and with blackmail and propaganda. They hijacked social media to carry out their agenda and suspend, ban and frustrate Yorubas. Some Default Apps on some of their franchise phones are mainly for propaganda. Yet Yorubas don't know.

If great crisis should happen in South West, those Yoruba Lawyers claiming human rights lawyers would be the first victims.
You see when I see posts from you, I really pity you walahi you have no idea the problem you want to bring upon yourself and your family.
First of all that tribal incitement you are heating up, the day you and your type will set Nigeria on fire, once the dust settles and the UN and ICC are involved, na firing squad ooo. The Rwandan genocide is a clear example in not to long ago. If you think that you can escape when it happens in Nigeria, think again, because your SW politicians will give you up and hang you to dry to save face. Look at how they hanged Lagospedia guy to dry that the deputy governor is already saying that they are working with DSS to unmask those behind tribalistic posts.

Again back to all the lies from you on the issue of GEj not saving money, who were the governors that took him to court because of the ESA? Was it not APC governors? If the Account still existed there would have been some savings. I dare you to list all the members of GEJs cabinet and their tribes let us clear your doubt.
