No, you are wrong.


The North already know that they have a major problem in the South coming from the Southeast, so having another major tribe from the South angry will definitely spell doom for Nigeria.



It is the Yorubas that have held Nigeria from breaking up because they are the people always partnering with the North to force Igbos to remain in Nigeria, so it's common sense to pacify your partner in crime to avoid bigger problem.


So it has nothing to do with Yorubas fighting for Abiola, it has more to do with Northerners applying wisdom to save Nigeria from total disintegration when Igbos and Yorubas together want to leave Nigeria, of course Northerners cannot stop it but when Igbo alone wants to leave, it's easier to stop them through majority partnership of North and Southwest.


Same way, it's easier to stop Yorubas from ever leaving Nigeria if North and Southeast partner together.


That's why for many years, North always worked with Southeast to keep Southwest in opposition until 2015 that Tinubu led Yorubas to partner with North against Southeast that wanted Jonathan to remain, and that disrupted the North-Southeast political partnership and led to the emergence of a first ever pan-Yoruba President Tinubu now destroying every fabric of Nigeria.
I don't agree with you but I respect your opinion. I don't remember any issue rearing it head from the south east as of 1999. Massob came with obasanjo presidency.
But will the south east and the south west ever unite in this political game?
In your second paragraph, you just mentioned one point most South Easterners don't agree with , the fact that they need to work with other regions if they want the disintegration.
The north remain politically savvy, the south west is trying but can never be politically united. But the south east ehn.. Make i leave am there grin

Isaac Fayose claimed that the Igbo tribe is "easy to buy" with money and power, suggesting they lack political loyalty.

He alleged that the incarcerated IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has been completely abandoned by his kinsmen following his legal woes.

However, many Nigerians slammed the statement as divisive and dangerous, calling on public figures to avoid speech that promotes ethnic hate.

I really thought this guy was wise, but lo and behold his foolishness made my jaw drop!
As a matter of fact, one of my Children must marry Igbo.
And if any of my Children decide to become a Muslim, the only condition that would make me agree is that he or she bring a Fulani Spouse. These are the 2 Greatest Tribes in Africa.

Isaac Fayose is making sense. Ndigbo would do anything for me, My initial post was deleted , I don't know why?
The APC has practically penetrated Eastern states easily without resistance, why? because your politicians don't have a course they believe in..

Why not grown your APGA to a national party and allow it to challenge like ACN did then and became APC.
Your politicians are just after money and position..

This Isaac Fayose is definitely punching above his weight category, if you ask me.

That his brother (Ayo Fayose) was once a governor doesn't confer on him the power that he doesn't have.

One can hardly blame him because the media (social and mainstream) have continued to make him a celebrity of sorts hence his temerity of trying to instigate ethnic division.

For him to open his mouth wide to throw insults against the whole of an ethnic nationality is condemnable, despicable and thoroughly unacceptable.

He must be cautioned by the authorities before he starts another ethnic tension.

The Igbos are at liberty to associate with anyone they so desire in the pursuit of their political, social and economic goals without let or hindrance.

Isaac Fayose is at best a meddlesome interloper and a blabbermouth of high proportion.

Yoruba did not partner with North to keep Igbos in Nigeria. The Midwest did not partner with North to keep Igbos in Nigeria. Resisting the invasion of your land is a noble task that you should expect any group to do. Why should Awo trust Ojukwu when he was part of Ironsi government who refused to release him from prison despite his plea? Put yourself in his shoes. You said the first Yoruba and North alliance is 2015 and you said Yoruba partnered with North earlier when the resistance against the invading Biafrans was just a reflex action. I don't count that as partnering with North politically. Though there is nothing wrong in partnering with the North for as long as Nigeria is one. Any mutually beneficial partnership is not wrong.
How is Tinubu now tearing the fabric of Nigeria apart? In what way? People are still free to form alliance to remove him

I don't like it when Yorubas try to deny their decision to align with Northern Nigeria to stop Igbos from seceding in 1967.

If Yorubas were fighting for the so-called invasion of their land, they ought to have stopped the moment they chased Igbos out of their perceived Yoruba territory or even tell Gowon to let Igbos go with their region while they, Yorubas continued with the one-Nigeria with the North and Midwest, wasn't that supposed to be the case?


On how Tinubu has been destroying the fabrics of Nigeria; are you not a Nigerian? Can't you see the dangerous, toxic, nepotistic and divisive politics Bola Tinubu has been playing ever since he became President even though he has always used same to hold down Lagos state even before 2023 Presidential election.

If you doubt me, go back and make a google search about: Jimmy Agbaje of PDP being accused of being Omo Igbo as far back as 2015 and 2019.....it will be a total dishonesty on your part or on the part of any Yoruba man or woman alive today to deny that Bola Tinubu divided Nigeria so badly along ethnic lines even more than Buhari that started it

How I wish it were possible to have driven out the invaders and returned home but in war, it is never easy like that. Once a war starts, there must be a winner and if no winner, then a third party have to step in to restore order.

Then the westerners and Midwesterners no longer had any excuse after the invasion not to fight alongside the Northerners.

Thewrath:
Shut up already,just because a handful of selfish individuals who can be found in every other tribe or race are fight for their personal interests doesn’t reflect anything!

The igbos you are mentioning,do you think they are broke?money is not a problem to them.

NK’s incarceration is case more than just lobbying,it’s a case of Christian persecution or a case of Nigeria fighting for survival because they don’t want a breakup of Nigeria..

But thank God the world is now becoming aware of this forced marriage and Christian persecution going on.
