I wonder the term slaves ! Who are the slaves

Amongst all the southern tribes

Yoruba is the only tribe that is given and christiained by Fulani Hausa ...Yoruba

They are the only one that have their city list to Fulani ...ILORIN

They are the only ones that can't have their kings Oba in their city ...ILORIN


Their villages are deserted due to Herdsmen



please who are the slaves here?
Re: Can You Give Reason Why Nigeria Should Be One by ariesbull: 7:33am On Nov 19, 2025
"Yoruba" is an old name for the Yoruba people, used by Hausa and Fulani traders, which some sources claim means "shady and unreliable" and others say was a label based on trade interactions.

The name has since been adopted as the origin for "Yoruba" and is now a subject of debate, with some arguing the current term should be rejected due to its potentially derogatory roots.


Origin: The name "Yoruba" was reportedly used by Hausa traders for the Yoruba people, possibly due to the bargaining skills of the Oyo people who were then a dominant group.

Look at Nigeria today..
We don't like ourselves
we don't think the same
we don't even have same idea of development
We have absolutely different value system

So someone tell me why exactly Nigeria should be one

Would dividing Nigeria solve our problems? Absolutely not But it makes solving them easier

The reason why most northern Nigerians want one nigeria is because they think it makes it easier to spread Sharia and islam in Nigeria

Again I ask why should Nigeria be one someone tell me your reason
What always amuses me about you guys is the lack of emotional intelligence that seems to afflict all of you to include your most academically brilliant.

Today, you will find that many Nigerians will agree that Nigerians should not be together as they are irreconcilably different and enemies of each others progress.

Yet not many will keep flogging the division dead horse, as you Igbos have done fruitlessly for decades now, because they know doing so is an exercise in futility. A waste of time and, in the case of the SE, detrimentally costly effort.

If you people are sincere, and not hypocrites merely obsessed with empty gaslighting of others, stop your broken record 'division" noise and get with the program over regional autonomy which is subtly gaining ground and will be division, in all but name, once State or regional policing becomes reality.

Now you are talking about core problems...

Divide the country and those problems don't go away because people will start fighting again about the resources coming from their houses and family.


As for ruanda you can pick the positives from there and make it better.

With the right leadership and will power I don't think even with the size and situation of Nigeria all these aren't achievable!
The biggest problem we have in nigeria now is the issue of ethnicity. Divide nigeria and the problem is half solved. There's absolutely no reason for nigeria to be one country .
Re: Can You Give Reason Why Nigeria Should Be One by Emotionss: 8:29am On Nov 19, 2025
One of the major reasons why the North is against the actualization of Biafra is mostly religious based and not political..
they feel that the jihads ( islamation of Nigeria will be more profound and glorious if the south east is part of the conquered territory and by their logic it is far more easier to conquer the Igbos if the south east remains in Nigeria than when they become a sovereign Nation

( With Biafra as a sovereign Nation, the Igbos can fully defend themselves against anyone and against anything but if they remain in Nigeria, such privilege is extremely limited)

The Yorubas on the other hand are resisting Biafra as a survival / political strategy rather than hate.
They know and understand that once Igbos ( the usual scapegoats) are out of the equation, whatever alliance they have with the North will crumble and they will be at the receiving end of the new political and regional reality.

Every tribal bigotry against the Igbos by the Yorubas especially from their leaders is nothing but a survival strategy. The needed to do it to prove their loyalty and in a more pathetic way secure their survival.

So whenever you see them especially their political and religious leaders starts expressing tribal bigotry towards the Igbos please don't take it personal. They needed to prove their loyalty to their masters.

No resources control? No self police?

I still think the biggest problem we have is corruption...

And lack of sincerity and accountability by our leadership.

Lack of discipline of citizenship etc.

Divide Nigeria and these core problems still remain broken into smaller units.

Ethnicity doesn't breed patriotism. Corruption doesn't know ethnicity.


Scattering the place in anger or dividing the country is treating the symptoms and not the illness!

That's dumb thinking because it is a defeatist agenda which is totally shameful. Why hate on another people just so you can be loyal to a bully when you can walk away from the bully and work out a mutually beneficial arrangement with the third party? Igbos must never forget the position the Yorubas have taken against them in Nigeria. It is very evil and deserves a payback.

Your dishonesty and hypocrisy is nauseating. Who are those formally pushing for resource control that your leaders fail to stand with?

Yet you Street level Igbos keep gaslightiing Nigeria you care about resource control, fiscal federalism etc whereas we see nothing from your leaders with the power to deliver needed progress?

It is not ordinary Yorubas and Igbos who can deliver what we all know will transform Nigeria optimally. It is leaders with administrative, executive and legislative power.

Wake us up when your cowardly, self-serving and callously greedy leaders can agitate formally as shown below.

Nigeria Main problem is we don't share common value system.

Not even the leadership.


What makes a great nation are people that share common value system, the way Igbo man think is not the way Yorubas man think, the way yoruba man thinks is not the way fulani Man think.




Until Nigeria is divided,it will keep getting worst just like it keeps going down every day.

So did SE stopped or against your so called regional autonomy?

Your brother is the president and has all the power to do that.


Why regional autonomy when we can go totally separate way.



We know you yorubas are afraid of self rule, because you will start fighting yourself like before amalgamation of Nigeria.

Keep deceiving yourself with one nonsense screenshot.


Tell us who stopped the Southwest Governors from getting it?


What action have they taken since 2021 they made that headline.




South East leaders have been calling for restructured Nigeria but Yorubas and their Hausafulanis brothers have always been against it.

And they never allowed it because they're in power.👇👇👇

I believe Africans should focus on strengths rather than weaknesses/differences or those things that tend to separate us.


The first step to solving our problems is will power and less drive for money/corruption.

Divide Nigeria and these core issues still remain!
If you keep Nigeria and the core problems remain

And you divide Nigeria and the core problems remain

It all still shows that the unity of Nigeria is pointless since it will change nothing if its there or not

Dear Mr chiagozian...

Value system is relative. People don't think in the same way. Not even twins.

I can give you a list of countries with multiple ethnic groups that are working.

Are you telling me Nigeria is the most multi ethnic country that people are so unalike and think so differently than they cannot function together as a country?


No bro.


I agree that something is missing like I have said from the beginning. Maybe I can't put it in words as much as I would like but it's that sense of purpose. I insist that if things are working normally and our leaders are sincere not taking us for granted because of their selfish gains and interests we can build that unity that is absent.


Most people only care about breaking the country up because they feel cheated and taken for granted.

Give them a working country with fair, sincere leaders with the potential to get better and most people would abandon the idea.


It's not a problem of different value system but a problem of inherent cheating and corruption.


It's that sense of purpose that binds and creates the unity not breaking the country to smaller groups that would still have the same problem of insincere and theiving leaders.


It's a lot but I hope I explained this a bit better!

Breaking up the country would change absolutely nothing sir.




The core problems need to be addressed.


But why break up to smaller groups when size and strength can be used to greater advantage?

Breaking up only create smaller and weaker groups.


Nobody throws away the baby with the bath water!

You only wrote what your mind told you.
Which is incorrect.

First you should go check the meaning of common value system.

Division of Nigeria will solve at least 90% of Nigeria problem.

I can give two:

1) Super Falcons
2) DTigress

In fact, we do like ourselves as Nigerians and are very united in disliking Obidients and their needless noise.

One more reason, I want to be alive to see an Ndigbo like Bianca or Prof Soludo being President of the great and wonderful Federal Republic of Nigeria.

They are all a bunch of failures with selfish and insincere missions. It's people that make up a country and not country that makes up people!
