Most of the fiery Yoruba leaders Nigeria knew for fighting human rights and injustice then were beneficiaries of Awolowo free education are now either in their 80s or 90s hence too tired for such fight anymore or are dead . The current ones are more interested in their pockets which is either selling lands or following pecuniary politics (cashtivism) . Those few brilliant ones have seen their voices drowned by ones chasing after money….but true true Awolowo did well for Yorubas with his free education to Yorubas from western Nigeria cocoa proceeds but if you say na lie compare that firebrand generation of Isreal Ransome Kuti family, Gani Fawehimi, Dare Babarinsa etc with what you are seeing today from that region. If that generation that benefited from Awolowo had done same for generation after it wouldn’t have been as bad as it is today

Peter Obi might have lived in Lagos for along time he still doesn't understand the Yoruba culture.

Fulani that called people Yaribas ( meanning "Cunning people") seems to know Yoruba culture better then Obi.

The Yoruba culture has many ways of communication. Sometimes Yoruba will say say "oro di hmmm" , In order words they will just make the hmmm sound and to the uncultured it seems nothing is said. but that is speaking very loudly. But when you talk like this (Obi's ways) you are automatically uncultured in the Yoruba tradition. It is hard to explain to non Yoruba's but then it is what it is.

Yes I agree, his ambition is buried with Tinubu supporters who will vote for Tinubu whether PO brings them the moon or not. The good news is that these people are 50% of the voting population in the SW at best, and history has proven that.

Those who vilified GEJ in 2015 are the same who cheer Tinubu today despite Tinubu's time being far worse than GEJ's time

What about those that see the insecurity and corruption that took over Jonathan government but chose to stay silent then?

If you Iboes don’t protest against Jonathan, why should Yoruba protest against Tinubu?

Una think say na only una wise?

Which is another way of saying that nobody actually cares about Nigeria, its all about sectional interests

One of the many reasons people like me say the Nigeria is a waste of time, snd we should be talking about peaceful disintegration let everyone go and form their own countries and pursue theur section mal interest their rather than continuing with this fraud known as "one Nigeria"

I agree with you that Nigeria need to break up.

Let’s break it up by 2031 when Tinubu complete his tenure.

Is the hunger already bending the neck of Obi tht is making him to voice out now because he has stopped giving donations for many months now? Mr Obi, thank you; Tinubu will do more to ensure more food on the table of every Nigerian. He still has from now till 2031 by God's grace. So, he will do more, thank you

Which sectional interest pass someone from Alaigbo labelling another as saboteur and inferior igbo? When your fullani master gave you order to go and have your Biafra, you were in this same country when your sensible and good elders went back to beg fulanis not to vex, that ipob/ESN making the calls should be ignored. Your elders called for one Nigeria

If you get Biafra today, many Igbos will renounce their igboish and naturalized themselves as yorubas especially those that are already enjoying south west; they will not want to follow kanu/ekpa that will label and suffer them as saboteurs to be killed.

Yeah, any excuse to continue with a failed Nigeria that has never worked since 1960
