Like I said, you sound very reasonable and sensible too....this is the only reason I don't really take the anti-Igbo politics played by most Yorubas serious outside the internet because I know there are still honest, sensible Yorubas who have conscience against all odds.


But if we are to analyze the persecution and hatred especially in national politics amongst the 3 major tribes of Nigeria, Yorubas have done so much evil against Igbos than any other and why it hurts more than what the North does to Igbos is the fact that Yorubas are very enlightened and exposed, meaning whatever action they have been taking is based on their personal conviction unlike the Northerners who are not that enlightened and exposed but being misled by religious brainwashing and whatnot.


Tell me in all fairness, was it justified for any Yoruba man or woman to come out to contest 2023 Presidential election zoned to the South when Yorubas had MKO Abiola in 1993, Obasanjo in 1999 to pacify them for MKO Abiola's saga in 1993, Obasanjo again from 2003 to 2007, and Osinbajo as VP from 2015 to 2023 and Yorubas still believed it was right for Tinubu to take over in 2023 and turned around to call Igbos tribalist for supporting Peter Obi massively in 2023, something Igbos have never done since the history of Nigeria?

Go all over Nigeria, the only tribe that proudly and arrogantly say "An Igbo Man will never rule Nigeria" are the Yorubas, not even the Hausas nor the Fulanis, only the Yorubas say this out boldly and with joy and gladness in their hearts and you still believe its nice and cool and Igbos ought to take it lightly?


Now let me clear you on some facts.

Igbos are the only tribe that have never showed serious interest in producing President of Nigeria since the end of civil war in 1970....Igbos lost interest in national politics and focused squarely on their individual businesses and progress. But Yorubas' continuous taunting of Igbos saying an Igbo man will never rule Nigeria became more of an insult....secondly, Buhari's regime widened the existing tribal-religious differences that existed in Nigeria which we had been managing and coexisting like all is well....Buhari made it worst and made Igbos realize that they had been making a mistake not taking national politics serious as Buhari seized every opportunity he had as President to ridicule Igbos and destabilize Southeast completely and turned once most peaceful region to one of the regions ravaged by insecurity.


Buhari did all these with full Yoruba people's backing just because they wanted to use Buhari as a ladder for Tinubu to climb to Presidential power...they cheered Buhari on in his evil ways and supported every terrible and action Buhari took for good 8 years....all these made Southeast to become more conscious of federal politics plus the issue of IPOB, Igbos hoped that an Igbo person becoming President will pacify Igbo youths agitating for Biafra based on decades of marginalization of Igbos by past Nigerian leaders....so Igbos then saw 2023 as an opportunity to lay Biafra agitation to rest once Igbo man emerges President.....Igbo youths will have no other reason to cry of marginalization or agitate for Biafra......that was why Igbos took 2023 Presidential election serious....and secondly because of Peter Obi's personality which Igbos believed would govern Nigeria with fairness, justice, equity and zero tolerance to corruption and looting.



Those were some of the reasons Igbos became much interested in producing the President....we believed that it was time for Igbos to govern Nigeria and lay the events of the 1966 to 1970 to eternal rest and move on together as truly one united nation devoid of injustice and marginalization of any section of Nigeria. Nigeria missed a golden opportunity in 2023.....God presented Nigeria and Nigerians a great opportunity to rewrite the history of Nigeria and put Nigeria on a path to greatness but out of our usual tribal-religious foolishness, we missed that opportunity and still think all is well.

Now, I truly understand you, if honesty should be real in politics it's Igbo that should be the only presidential candidates in the last t election, but politicians don't think like normal human being, the greed for power and dominance is high aside corruption. I only respectfully respond to your initial comment because I was hurt with your generalisation of Yorubas.
Let's hope we'll get it right someday.


Thank for taken out time to respond

TUTU147:
Reno is just playing double standard here,why not call on the man.The man said he is an okun man which makes him 80% yoruba man.I know say the war that will erupt in south west as a result of religion is going to be disastrous.It only started last time in ilorin because of hijib and traditional worshipers.

Oh you're waiting for a religious war in Yorubaland, you go wait taya.
Iye le o ma wo, e o to eye ri.
You just don't get it do you?, blood is thicker here.
How many Christians have been killed in Ilorin?, how many Christians have been subjected to sharia laws in Ilorin?.
How many churches have been burned in Ilorin?, mind you Ilorin is the HQ of Islam in Yorubaland, or you think there are no Christians in Ilorin?.
Enter mosque as a Muslim to preach nonsense, and see if your fellow Muslims won't grab you and throw you out on the street, and warn you never to step into their mosque again.
In Yorubaland, we are human first, every other matter is secondary.

No wonder, there is an insider in this strange development

You sound reasonable but you seem not be honest in your analysis, how you may ask and I will explain below.


If you can be very honest, when was the last time Igbo person came out to contest for President and got massive Igbo people's support?


In 1999, an Igbo man Alex Ekwueme formed a party PDP, hoping to use it to contest for President. He got convinced to forget the ambition, that Yorubas need to be pacified for MKO Abiola saga.


Another Igbo man, Ogbonnaya Onu who formed another popular party which later merged with another party and he too wanted to contest, he was told that it's Yoruba turn to pacify them for MKO Abiola saga, Ogbonnaya Onu swallowed his ambition and Olu Falae got the mandate while Obasanjo got PDP mandate.


Out of consideration of what happened to MKO Abiola, two Yorubas emerged Presidential candidates for both parties.


Igbos queued behind Obasanjo a Yoruba man and he won.


In 1993 during MKO Abiola vs Tofa Presidential election, Tofa a Northerner had an Igbo man Sylvester Ugo as his running mate while Abiola had Kingibe a Northerner as his running mate.


MKO Abiola won Anambra state and got more than 45% of total votes cast in the remaining 3 Igbo states of Imo, Enugu and Abia, go and check the result. Tofa won Abiola in the other 3 Igbo states with a very narrow escape. Meaning Igbos voted massively for Abiola despite the fact that an Igbo man was Tofa's running mate. It was also an Igbo man that damn the consequences under Military rule that told him to stop the election result collation and he refused and released the results that showed Abiola won, he didn't listen to the military government, he damned the consequences but still Yorubas turned around to lie that Igbos never voted for Abiola even when the results are clear for all to see, that's one.


The same Igbos voted for Obasanjo in 1999 and in 2003, Ikemba Ojukwu that Igbos so much cherished came out, Igbos shunned him and voted Obasanjo again. Every Nigerian condemned Igbos that Igbos don't like each other, that Igbos are not united that that's why they can't produce President that a whole Ojukwu came out and they couldn't vote for him and instead voted Obasanjo a Yoruba man.

2007 came, Yaradua came out, Rochas was on ballot, Chukwumereije was on ballot, Igbos voted Yaradua a Fulani man.

2011, Goodluck an Ijaw man came out, Igbos voted him.

2015 Goodluck came out again, Igbos voted him and he lost.


2019 Atiku a Fulani man came out, Igbos voted him and he lost to Buhari.

Every Nigerian kept saying 2023 is Igbo people turn that they are supposed to produce next President. As God have it, Peter Obi a very competent Igbo man emerged, Igbos massively supported him mostly because of his personality and secondly because Igbos believed it was time for other Nigerians to support and back an Igbo man for President.


What happened? Yorubas turned around to tag Peter Obi an Igbo and IPOB Presidential candidate that Igbos are tribalistic but same Igbos have been voting every other tribe including Yorubas happily since 1993 and they were not tribalistic, but this one time they came out to support a competent Igbo man, Igbos became tribalistic.



Now to dispute the fact that Yorubas voted Peter Obi. Yes some well meaning Yorubas voted for Peter Obi but Yorubas didn't give Peter Obi the deserved support they ought to have given him based on how Igbos have happily voted and voted for Yoruba candidates starting from MKO Abiola to Obasanjo. How you may ask?


Southeast has just 4 states in 1993, MKO Abiola won Anambra and the other 3 Southeast states MkO didn't win, MKO Abiola scored over 45% of total votes cast, meaning he got More than what he needed to win as President in the Southeast despite contesting against an Igbo running mate to Tofa.


In 2023, Peter Obi only won Lagos which is a cosmopolitan state comprising all Nigerians with massive Igbo population.


Peter Obi didn't even get 15% in Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun states the core Yoruba states. Meaning Yorubas rejected Peter Obi and voted Tinubu their son despite knowing that it was not supposed to be Yoruba turn after Yorubas got MKO Abiola, for Obasanjo twice, had Osinbajo that was just leaving office.


See, Igbos are the most detribalized tribe in Nigeria when it comes to politics if check Nigeria's voting pattern since 1993. But you guys made it look like Presidential election in Nigeria started in 2023.



Anyway, God alone knows the truth.


God alone will avenge and reward us according to our deeds.


Let's continue on the paths we have chosen, nature and God will do justice when the time is ripe. You guys will remember my warnings and messages here one day, let's pray it won't be too late, have a blessed day

Another lengthy hogwash.
Igbo will not be allowed to use their lack of focus to pull others down in the West.
Tinubu wasn't even in PDP, why is it so difficult for the south to maintain a common front and make sure the presidential ticket of PDP is picked by a southerner?.
Wait as Obi don run away, why not Wike?.
Your useless politicians sold out to Atiku and you're blaming Tinubu.
In your warped mind, Peter Obi would have been able to beat Atiku if Tinubu is not in the equation, but the results said otherwise.
Obi in the third position means Obi is not even in contention to win the election.
For your information Awolowo wasn't even in the equation yet Azikiwe lost to Balewa.

joseph1832:
It always seem those of them who ran away from Nigeria, like the cowards they are, are the ones who spit the most vile about Nigeria. I mean, they ran away, it's okay we understand they're cowards, why can't they just mind their business and face their lives working 2 or more jobs? Nooo it's to talk shit about Nigeria and say all manner of stupid things. Gosh.

Like you have rightly mentioned, they are cowards

Did you read the story? Why are you blaming El Rufai?

simpleseyi:
Short man devil is passing his boundaries. If Tinubu decides to look at his side, Tinubu will destroy him completely. Many have gone, Hell Rufai, be careful

When the Eze Ajoa threatened to invite ipob to Lagos if the govt cannot protect Igbos in Lagos, he was arrested for 2yrs. Lets see if the one calling for jihad with be reprimanded.

aswani:
Must you inject Ndigbo into everything, why the pathetic victimhood on something that has nothing to do with Ndigbo, I don't understand at all?

Obaofpigs:


See RENO O'FUCKERY...in action.

The person is a full fledged Yoruba person. Wether his is even a BOKO HARAM member is not our business.

The fact remains a Yoruba man from 'lukumi' extended family is calling for a JIHAD to establish Sharia in the SW.


Now that he is NOT IGBO .the fool O'FUCKERY, has started looking for loose ends to tie, insinuating that the YORUBA man was influenced by Nasir El-Rufai.

Na LIE!!!

Na YORUBA man call for JIHAD...and it must come to pass ..

Useless things

I guess you didnt read that he is from Kogi state,you're always fast to type,pls use more of this your sense in 2025 oo.

Are you now denying KOGI STATE as a Yoruba extension?.

If the said Bashorun was insulting IGBOs , will you remember he is from KOGI STATE?

Now Bashorun is talking Sharia and JIHAD and you want to deny him his YORUBA heritage abi.?

Ko le werk!!!

Bashorun is YORUBA...enjoy it!!

omoredia:
These are the people blaming Trump 😆

those bastard Islamic Terrorists religion terrorizing the North and turn around and blame American or France , very pathetic human being

He is right. They are double face people

cjudy:

El Rufai is their enemy now, someone who defended their president, even when they went for debate outside the country, the journalist where asking questions, it’s only El Rufai that was answering the questions for the president and then the Yoruba Muslims (Slaves) where applauding him. Today the fallout, they now see him as demon.

This life ehhh, don’t worry guys, APC are all ZoneB

Spot on

Lanruze:
Dear Reno Omokori,

I know you are very active on Nairaland and you use pseudo-names I actually know one of them.

1, Even if you are paid $1B monthly to affront and defame people, know that the source of the money will dry one day and you will be left with the larger society.

2, You have consistently show psychiatric Bi-Bolar disorder and your ex-wife corroborated this fact kindly register in the closet rehab center to you Reno.

3, Again, Nasiru El-rufai is not Peter Obi so you have picked a wrong fight. I can assure you that this battle is beyond your pay grade.

4, You Reno Omokori is the Chief Gaslighter and Tribal Divisionist in Nigeria and your reward will come as you have sown.

5, From PBAT to Davido to Peter Obi to Nasir El-rufai to revisionist 1966 Nzeogwu Coup plot, you have consistently shown a penchant for distabilising Nigerian SM users.

6, You may earn money but your posterity is already here....It's a shame and pity for you Reno.

Your pot will be overflowing soon.

I also know he is on here but must you threaten him.

I actually like his posts as he fact checks to the highest extreme.
