It is the Yoruba.

Nigeria’s four largest tribes remain: Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, and Ijaw.

The Ijaw have what Nigeria feeds on — the crude oil that sustains the nation, stretching from the Ijaws of Apoi, Arogbo and Furupagha in Ondo to the Ijaws of Ibeno and Ibaka in Akwa Ibom.

The Hausa have the population strength to dominate nearly every ministry and political structure across Nigeria.

The Igbo, on the other hand, have always had a strong voice — one that has never truly aligned with Nigeria since independence. Their persistent agitation could end Nigeria if they had both the population and political influence of the Hausa or Yoruba. But power in Nigeria flows differently: whenever the North considers handing leadership to the South, it usually goes to the Yoruba — not because of merit alone, but because of fear of the Igbo.


To those plotting coups or seeking to disrupt the state, stop it.
Such actions would only scatter the fragile unity that remains — birthing the Arewa Republic, Biafra Republic, Ijaw Republic, Oduduwa Republic, and others with no shared foundation.


The Hausas are weary of those who live differently from them.
The Igbos are weary of the Hausas.
Every group is searching for an exit — except the Yoruba, who, for now, are the only tribe still holding Nigeria together.



@Ditari of Ijaw

If I was to give my personal opinion about you...


Then I would say you have strongly matured over time from your initial posts on nl.

I don't see think your comment is out of place!

You are doing everything humanly possible to force Ijaw down our throat. You by yourself have added Ijaw to the list of biggest tribes.

Try harder bro, that's all I can say to you.

He's the President and Commander in Chief of The Great Ijaw Nation that stretches from Madagascar to Mauritania, but has NO common language!

Gen Ditarri is his name..

Ijaw is even larger than Igbo.

Over half of who you call Igbos are actually Ijaws.

Why haven't Igbo use their false population figure and become President?

An average Yoruba man believes in one Nigeria and he wants the country to prosper. That is why Sunday Ighoho had problems with his kinsmen when he started clamoring for Yoruba nation. Most Yorubas don't believe in secession. If Ighoho had focused on Fulani herdsmen alone, the whole of Yoruba would have continued to support him.

If you go through this path you’ll fail woefully… the only ijaw man to become president is Jonathan… check how he became president through the help of a Yoruba man… obasanjo…. Without him Jonathan cannot even win governorship election in Bayelsa state…

Apart from North and West, as a minority, you can’t rule Nigeria without their support…

If it was easy, Jonathan would’ve remained in Aso Rock in 2015.

Stop the chest beating

He has every right to rep his tribe. I wish more tribes can come up to be repping themselves..

I guess from the first and second president of Nigeria plus vice and interim government to all the Senate presidents it's your tribesmen or Yorubas more.

Think son.

Ijaw is 4th largest tribe in your fvcking dreams.

General ditari...Tibra

You are just sounding too desperate.

Yen yen yen yen yen.

The truth of the matter is that the President has watched himself become unpopular.

He is fully aware that the SE will not support him after repeated direct attacks in Lagos, now the whole North has back tracked and the SS is still hanging due to Wike and Akpabio.

Loyalty will begin to erode, while the opposition will become more formidable.

The world is watching to see how this administration implement a contingency. After the UNGA speech by VP against the US. The US is fighting back with issues of concern to address from the genocide, to corrupt allegations, to the cronies. A lot on the plate for them, and surely Trump will come for blood.He doesn't forgive, ask Hillary, he still mentions her name till date. As a matter of fact, they will drag Nigeria to the security meetings and may propose some reprisal, but surely they will demarket Nigerian leadership.

The mistake was from the onset.

Nigeria is been run using Lagos Local Government template. Taxation, using touts and people of questionable pedigrees to run strategic offices at a National level. Lopsided appointments. NNPC , Finance, Military, Project allocation to SW sates and indigenous companies. Minister with certificate sagas all over the places. A need trend will follow. One by one, they will plug the feathers and the eagle flight is affected.

While in Lagos, SE indigenes were singled out for ridicule, street name changing and media defamation of their traditional representative, in an attempted to not allowing them have an Ecclesiastical structure outside of their zone for the fear of election.

The North was sidelined from the mix of existing power, even the VP at some point was unfairly treated.

How can people from six states want to determine the future of people from 37 states with entitlement and recklessness.

The journey to 2027 reelection will not be a Walk in the Park.
We might even have a North/SE candidacy to deal the final blow.

Yakubu Mamuud, left with a grudge. He knows all the machinery put in place in the last election to determine the winning candidate. Election rigging, voters intimidation, ballot box snatching and INEC glitches will be tested again. He will play the role of Ahithophel

The lone wolf suffers, the pack survives.
Winter is here.


Remedy
The leadership need new friends and alliances, the old ones has been lost. Is there any, maybe the Middle Belt. Kogi, Kwara,Nasarrawa,Plateau might be easy to woe. But the Plateau state governor has clearly said he is not interested.
In the East, Abia governor has asked anyone willing to rig elections to plan their will.
Bayelsa Deputy has refused to decamp with the sitting govern. The cracks are showing up.
These are issues to manipulate.
The irony is that the people serving the are not strategists most are loyalist and media marketers. They are out of depth.Propaganda doesn't work anymore, figures and results which only technocrats can produce. A lot to do right for the current leadership.

Anyway, what do I know, I am from the dot region.

@Ditari of Ijaw

You are intelligent guy.


If people ignore some of your initial outbursts and pay close attention to your write ups, you sound very intelligent and knowledgeable too.


You Ijaw guys ought to be putting more effort towards actualizing your Ijaw nation before crude oil loses its global economic value soon because once that happens, the people you pointed out holding Nigeria's unity currently will be the first to demand for division of Nigeria knowing that they have used your crude oil to develop their region and don't need you guys anymore. By that time, Ijaw will become vulnerable and if Nigeria divides then, it will be very difficult for you guys to forge ahead successfully.




Keep up your intelligent posts, I do enjoy some of them silently though

Bola Tinubu's greatest mistake was picking a fight with Igbos instead of finding a way to pacify Igbos after the glaring robbery of Igbos, and to find a way to align with Igbos just as Buhari did with other Northerners during his own tenure.


Late Obafemi Awolowo waged so much war against Igbos and even played key role in the defeat of Biafra in 1969 through his recommendation of the extreme starvation policy which forced Biafra political elites to plead with Ojukwu to surrender Biafra to save further Igbo children and women from dying of hunger, but after Awolowo's alignment with the North against Igbos, towards his death, he advised Yorubas to please work with Igbos to liberate Nigeria but his tribesmen refused to listen but rather chose to follow Tinubu's political division path that have made it a policy to push Igbos out of Lagos so that his grip on Lagos politics can never be questioned or challenged even after he is gone.


They think it's about them, time will open their eyes.


Lastly, Tinubu's only plan to win reelection in 2027 is rigging using state Governors, lets see how that goes.


Opposition have been quiet for some time now, even Peter Obi has been quiet, their quietness should be a worry to Tinubu and his camp, time will tell

I am yet to see igbo comment on reality of the post but fight on Ijaw being forth largest or not.

The poster make sense though.

Just say Yorubas are afraid of self rule.



They will start fighting and killi,!ng themselves just like before amalgamation.


This how they lost kwara to fulanis.



Yorubas don't truly in One Nigeria that's why they will never support justice and equity in Nigeria.

Even your leader who is the president now once said he doesn't believe in one Nigeria.




So stop deceiving yourself with Yorubas believe in one Nigeria.



They believe in one Nigeria but attack other tribes to stop them from voting in presidential election.

u are exceptionally funny.

Don't you think It will benefit the Igbo's if they don't try to connect? A foe should remain a foe so when it's the day of battle you wouldn't think twice.

Regarding using Governor's to rig. I think that'd be successful. Most of the Governor's have their state on chokehold. Unless if the opposition pull a massive political tsunami on the ruling party.

The Ijaw have what Nigeria feeds on — the crude oil that sustains the nation, stretching from the Ijaws of Apoi, Arogbo and Furupagha in Ondo to the Ijaws of Ibeno and Ibaka in Akwa Ibom.

The Hausa have the population strength to dominate nearly every ministry and political structure across Nigeria.

To those plotting coups or seeking to disrupt the state, stop it.
Such actions would only scatter the fragile unity that remains — birthing the Arewa Republic, Biafra Republic, Ijaw Republic, Oduduwa Republic, and others with no shared foundation.


The Hausas are weary of those who live differently from them.
The Igbos are weary of the Hausas.
Every group is searching for an exit — except the Yoruba, who, for now, are the only tribe still holding Nigeria together.
