All the more reason to dissolve this white man's colonial creation called Nigeria and go our seperate ways
Who will suffer for this if eventually the nitty comes to gritty, and there is regional division and each tribe is forced to relocate to its region?

The major los&rs will be the Igbos, who have migrated enmass from their region and settled across the whole country, setting up business, buying lands and properties. Will they carry their businesses and properties with them?

So think twice before revving up the separatist agenda being trumpeted by you.

Don't worry, it is being spread by the innovators of tribalísm.
I am not disappointed in the least.
After all, they are said to beat their chest that they are suffersticated.

Yorubas should learn how to be industrious like the igbos rather than being jealous and envious.

They are the ones stoking those ethnic tensions/hatred, and their bigot in chief is not saying anything about it, because it serves his political interests.
Yorubas should learn to be industrious like the Igbos? Talk about ignorant belief in one's own hype. Spin that discredited BS to ignorant and unenlightened folks.

This issue has been put to bed long ago, and so many times, as nothing other than the factually discredited figment of imagination of an emptily megalomaniac people.

Or you think selling fake electronics in Alaba and running God is good transport is the only indicator of industriousness? You people are something else.

It's good. This lord lugard entrapment is not working. We have different value systems and cultural differences. Let everyone answer his papa name. It's not a matter of if but when Nigeria will disintegrate. It is nobody's fault. It is what it is.

I am not Yoruba. That biggest tribalism title goes to the Igbos. It's so entrenched among Igbos that they don't even know they are practicing tribalism.
A few of them know, they speak out but they are in the extreme minority.

Even Peter Obi again in 2023 declared a religious war. That's religious bigotry.

Then if they have no one to direct their bigotry against, they direct it at themselves. Just like the call Ebonyi people Fulani Igbos
They practice tribalism but still vote other tribes?

It’s spreading because the APC leaders endorse it, they have institutionalized it. It’s everywhere now including JAMB, WAEC, everywhere you go. We have to vote Tinubu out of office as a matter of national security.
Apc used it to capture power in 2015 they don't know any other methods to deploy to win future elections in nigeria.

And who should we vote? Tell us more about your best candidate you know well that if he assumed office such will be reduced or eradicated.

Don't forget that those that gave only one person 85 or 90% of their votes to their particular tribe candidate instead of spread a little to others are more guilty that they can't be a right candidate to solve such problem. Just write down those qualified candidates of yours with reasons why we should consider one of them in 2031 after Tinubu

You forget to tell us about Oba of Lagos that threatened to throw all Igbos in Lagos inside lagoon if they don't vote APC candidate
Oba of lagos say make dem throw igbos for lagoon,
Yorubas for street still gave Igbo man substantial number at the polls
Now lets even assume that Oba of Lagos is tribalistic, how does that make Yorubas tribalistic
Where you come from, is it the traditional rulers that speak for your entire society

That same ethnic bigotry has gotten to petty levels of street renaming. It's so petty and divisive but in due time, they will reap what they sowed. When it start, people shouldn't forget APC, Tinubu and his gangs caused this.
Take responsibility for the major part you and your people played in getting us here. Stop making empty threats. Do your worst. We dare you.

Why are you even explaining anything to them? They have always preferred to demonize Yorubas globally and deliberately portray us as wicked, tribalistic and evil so they can appear as saints and victims.

Those are not the sort of people you reason with or try to appease. Yorubas should now simply accept the stage of explaining or trying to prove anything to them is over.

Let them do their worst. If they dare. same people I have always asked, without ever getting a coherent or sensible answer, to explain how they can live and thrive, in many millions, with a people they are always telling the world are "demons".

They should be taught the harsh lesson of the adage "you don't know what you have till it is gone".

If Yorubas and the SW, the main human and geographical support system of Igbos in Nigeria, turn their back on the ingrate lot then what remains for them?

No amount of investments are worth ones independence and freedom, especially if its from an unworkable country

And why do you people think that gaining independence from Nigeria means that everyone goes back home?

Nigeria got its independence from Britain in 1960, but there are hundreds of thousands of Nigerians in Britain today

You are so so so right.
Yorubas are demons, yet you flourish among yorubas in yoruba land
Yorubas are tribalistic, yet na votes from ur region dey show tribalism
If Yorubas are that intolerant, why not carry their bags and go elsewhere they can find tolerance and prosperity.

Igbos caused it. They started calling Lagos 'no man's land'. When Lagos State Assembly began to say their members should be wearing indigenous attires and speaking of yoruba for their sessions, they were sending warning signals to strangers.


Expect worse things to come in the future. If Nigeria disintegrates, many of the houses they are bragging about now may not be inherited by their children. All lands belong to government by law and owners are tenants for only 99 years. After the government determines what to do with the lands.
Igbos should be careful of their utterances. I lived in the north, such attitudes make them lose their lives and businesses. Your may think I support tribalism. Not really, they are having problems with Ghana, also South Africa.
So please when exactly did igbos start calling Lagos no man's land? Which igbo man sait it especially with regards to the last election?

What about the yorubas? Do they deserve the insults from you people? Even when it's just abt 52 percent of yorubas that voted for Tinubu. But you all come here ant rain insult on all yorubas, when they give you back with same energy, you start shouting tribalist and bigotry.

I was really shocked and surprised when the Igbos said the yorubas voted along tribal line in the last election when just 52 percent of them voted for Tinubu while over 90 percent of Igbos voted for Peter obi..
The Yorubas made it tribal in 2023,they started the attacks,it all started after Peter Obi won LAGOS. The Yorubas started the attack by attacking Rhodes vivour calling him chinedu and labelled him as an agent of the Igbo to take over LAGOS. The Yoruba did it,they claimed igbos were calling LAGOS no mans land ,the proof of who and when it was said has not been brought out till today

That ghetto and traffic jam slum of Lagos contributed to more than 50% of successful Igbomen you can mention today. Proceeds from the same glorified slum built more than 50% of individuals' edifices in your entire region today.

Obi is a disgrace to the political environment of Nigeria. He brought bigotry, hatred and tribalism to a new dimension in 2023. For the first time I saw Family members and relatives broke ties cos of the evil seed Obi planted in Nigeria youths with the help of his 20k per month influencers. He called those opposition STRUCTURE OF CRIMINALITY - calling on the youths to destroy their country, wharves SHAME! in a saner country, Obi should be answering to Election crimes. Fastforward 2025, he's joining FORCE with the so-called STRUCTURE OF CRIMINALITY.
Now the question his. WHAT SHOULD THOSE THAT HAS BEEN MISLED BY HIM DO?
