₦airaland Forum

Honestly, with the amount of hate I keep seeing from our IPOBidient brothers and sisters, I really don’t blame Afenifere for their stance. I’ve said this so many times on Igbo forums and at different meetings—you can’t expect love when all you dish out is hate. Simple.

I keep asking: what exactly did the Yorubas do to us that’s so unforgivable? Like, seriously?

These same Yoruba people have given us real political opportunities, Commissioner posts, SSAs, Local Government Chairmanships, House of Reps seats, etc. But somehow, we just ignore all that and focus on cooked-up reasons to be angry and resentful.

Let’s not forget, these are the same Yorubas who, after the civil war, didn’t seize a single Igbo property. Instead, they welcomed us back, gave us room to thrive, even employed us in their state civil service. Can I, as an Anambra man, even dream of getting a government job in Enugu? And that used to be my state of origin before we separated. Let’s not even talk about trying that in Imo or Abia—forget it.

It’s time we check ourselves. We can’t keep demanding respect and equity while constantly throwing stones at the same people who have shown us more grace than even some of our own.

Buying up properties wey you go leave run when kasala burst tomorrow or civil war start again, that one na property? Maybe you go carry the property for head like gala if dem pursue you tomorrow. Cockroach brain.

There's no wahala it's just that if dem born you well collect the property and see if you will not languish in prison.

Is Afenifere still in existence

Did you ask this question when they were giving Peter Obi all the support?

You are a very mischievous and malicious person and God will punish you badly. Who made that post from Afenifere was it from a position of love or of hate? A country that is multi ethnic you are advocating that the legislature should use ob Yoruba, is that really the priority in the country now?
And you are here trying to use mischief to incite hatred. This post of yours can clearly send you to prison, if it was military regime the secret police would have caught your profile and secretly taken you out.
You guys it is like you have nothing tangible to do and you are so frustrated at life that you see tribalism as an east means to help you get to the end of the cash till. But you see one thing these politicians will still use you and you will be in your thatched house in Ikorodu with borrowed data and still be posting hate posts, while your politicians are enjoying the country.

ImpartialGuy:
Was this useless comment the reason for opening this thread? Imagine the kind of useless comment that took the first position in this thread. No wonder this forum doesn't attract reasonable people.

Hahaha 😂🤣 you also on the forum so you are equally not reasonable.

VnAhunnaPl:
Yoruba language is a beautiful language.

I am a Yoruba man, all languages are beautiful.

othermen:
Although the headline has been maximized for interest, it does a disservice to their other positions about insecurity in the region.

That they discussed these other issues does not excuse the irresponsibility of the group which is rightly embedded in the headline.

To them, ethnic entitlements, exclusionary politics, having a tribal conclave or a village square is better than collective progress.

The focus should be on “who can best serve my interest?” Whose experience, intellect, and vision can move the state forward? And that person can be from other communities, they may not speak my ethnic language or even be affiliated with it. It is toxic politics to try to close the doors on who can do the most good. And that person can be Hausa, they can be Igbo, they can be Nigerians born and raised in the diaspora.

Wawa Jew no one ask for your opinion here

In SE our politicians will prefer blowing horrible big grammar they don’t even know how to speak rather than speak Igbo language.

Useless sets of people.

They're crazy it's not gonna change anything...their real problems are hypocrisy and low intellectual commitment

Ninety-nine percent of the legislators don't even speak/understand pure Yoruba, they speak in slang and a mish-mash of English and pidgin-English

Check. My account is new. I just joined the useless forum.

I support this 100%!

Approved.

I disagree with this. English is the country's official language.

Yoruba language should be taught in South West schools, but legislative proceedings and other official government procedures should be done in English Language.

Eagleways:
They are born with it. Tribalism is laced into their DNA.

That was how one of their useless tribalistic old men started posting everything in Yoruba language on our Estate platform, after getting tired of saying rubbish about igbos.
He still begs me money. My shi shi will never enter his useless hands again. When it is time to solicit for contributions, the useless vegetable would post it in the English language, because he knows that his ronu Brethren can't give any meaningful thing

I ghosted the platform because, some of them are not pleased with it but their inherited cowardice wouldn't let the wimps caution him

You did well



Those people are evil

Many Igbos in SW understand Yoruba so not a big deal.

Making policies because of anti-Igbo sentiments has never helped Nigeria

Watch how some people start crying like pepper entered their eyes. They would frown at Yoruba championing cultural preservation but would secretly implement same laws in their region.

Who will burst the kasala,is it the cowards



Burst the kasala for fulanis herdmen first [

All states should conduct legislative business in local dialect.

Keep pushing your friend to perdition, something that you cannot do because you know it incites division, you are hailing someone else because you know when wahala starts you can easily deny.

Lol, why deny when it’s a public forum? Lmao. Ser! This is a cool way to go, promote Yoruba heritage. These are Yoruba states ser

I wonder how they think! Many hausas that have stayed in lagos longer than 15yrs understand yoruba language. So what are they trying to achieve ?

Here we go again

Is it English language that is the problem now? By this time next year, if you will be speaking Yoruba from Lagos, that is if the herdsmen has not even wiped you out from Lagos, cos am sure of ondo.

And they will even say would it change the great brown roofs of the west: that may be some peoples mind.

Imagine a state matter being conducted in local language.

The yorubas has taken their tribal inclination too far.

It is well known fact that the Yoruba language is widely spoken and used daily social and business interactions among the people in all south west states.

Teaching Yoruba in schools is enough to preserve the Yoruba language and also sensitizing parents to always speak their native dialect at home.

Every state in the country should conduct all her affairs using the lingua franca of the country, which is the English language.

It makes no sense to conduct legislative matters in Yoruba as it will neither add value to it nor stop their corrupt tendencies.

Oga Nigeria is a multi ethnic state. If you say you are promoting Yoruba in schools then it makes sense, but in the legislature that is wrong and sends a dangerous signal. The legislature is not where you promote ethnic jingoism, there are better ways to promote yoruba culture, this one is just foolish ethnocentric games that is what they are advocating and it will not augur well for you guys.

Who are the some people? Mention them courageously.

Hold on and stop saying rubbish here. Giving PO support was the faction of Afenifere loyal to late Pa Adebanjo. Please stop trying to be mischievous.
