Bros, you can mention what most probably does not exist. Bros, I am not a beer palour or newspaper stand analyst. I don't deal with market women gossips. I deal with facts, figures, verifiable data, and research based conclusions.

So I have to browse, scan, and infact walk round the whole southeast to get this information?

You are most probably from the southwest. I bet that you even know businesses owned by southeasterners in your region better than I do. Even at that, I can give you the locations of hundreds if not thousands of businesses owned by southeasterners.

You see that you don't know even one single business owned by a Yoruba in southeast.

Stop making assertions over things you know not. Stop mob mentality.

So where would the Yoruba man be elected in southeast? Oshogbo? Would Kemi think of going for an elective position in the UK if she resides and works in Nigeria?

You can't force people to contest. It is either you show interest or your community asks you to represent them but as per if Yorubas are in the East, publicly available data show that up to one percent of dollar millionaires in the East are Yorubas

Not politician but igbos n obidient

PHIPEX:
This country is supposed to be sweet but politicians succeeded in dividing us.

Krankhead:
it can happen in the North but not in the east

yeah true to some extent

MEGAWATCH:
It has been happening in the east before your Awolowo introduce trabalism into Nigerian politics.

You see this style of divide and rule government Tinubu has also introduced in Nigeria, tomorrow most of you will also come here to complain about it.

🔥🔥🔥

Oya educate me, give me like 5 scenarios since it has been happening

Atlantis585:
Governor Charles Soludo appointed Mr. Adebayo Ojeyinka, a native of Ede, Osun State, as a Permanent Secretary in the Anambra State Civil Service. He is one of the most prominent non-indigenes serving in a top administrative role in the state.

Mr. Ogunsanya Bimbola Kehinde who hails from Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, serves as a Permanent Secretary in the Imo State Civil Service, having been appointed in 2019 and retained by successive governments.

Your tribalism and that of your types needs cure and lots of education.

That's appointment, I am talking about contesting for a position. Even outside Nigeria, Nigerians are employed to work at top positions

Awo was not in the NCNC. He was entitled to be Premier in his own region. It is not right to say Awo was wrong to have an ambition to be Premier of the west just because an Igbo man in another party had the same ambition. He probably had the ambition before going to London to study law

The idea that all Yoruba should have shelved their ambition of being Premier in their own region because of Azikiwe is very very pedestrian

In other words, people from SW have to be begged or forced to run for office outside their regions.

Is that not something that is up to the individuals?

Some of you lack commonsense.

Bros where is your so-called publicly available data that shows that there are dollar millionaires of Yoruba origin whoss businesses are domicile in the southeast. I asked you of businesses owned by Yorubas in the southeast and you are yet to name just one. Show us please.

This can never happen in any of south east state, this is very commendable from the people of ekiti state for the unity and support

The first mayor of enugu is a fulani man.

But some Yorubas are in UK contesting for various positions and if they have this kind of mentality, I wonder if they will not send your people home.

That same period you were talking about was when the first mayor of Enugu was a Northerner and everything changed immediately Awolowo introduce trabalism into Nigerian politics.

Do you want them to be boasting of having taken over a state where they can't win even one percent of elective posts? However in this Nigeria, Igbos have not necessarily won more elections nor been given more political appointments outside their land than the Yoruba. It is only the approach that is different and in a place like the North there are whole compounds in different cities established by ancient Yorubas whose descendants are now indigenes of those cities as they no longer have known relatives in Yoruba land.

Open your brain and understand. It would be wrong for a Yoruba person contesting to be Premier of the East to be accusing Igbos contesting against him from another party of tribalism, it may even be wrong if they are in the same party because are they his slaves to not be able to contest in their own region?. You claim a Yoruba was elected in PH. Were Igbos not elected in Lagos? Even Ijaws were elected in Lagos as well as Calabar but a Yoruba elected in PH as a councilor or Mayor to you means Yoruba must let Igbo be their Premier?. To determine their fate?. What did Azikiwe ever do for the Yoruba to merit that honor? There were PhD holders in Yoruba land at that time who were old enough to be Azikiwe's father. In an Ijesa state, an Ibadan man can not just come and say Ijesas must be nationalists and make an Ibadan the governor when the Ibadan have their own governor already and the Ibadan are directly in competition with the Ijesa. I think this is basic common sense but you don't understand it. Before 1951 shortly after the death of Macaulay, the NCNC turned against the Yoruba in the Nigerian railways and etc also with Azikiwe's newspapers and the Yoruba would have preferred a British man to be their Premier than Azikiwe or why an Igbo man and not a British man? What is the essence of the new independence? All these are easy to reason out.
Then if I were a member of Awolowo's family I would sue you for damages for calling my ancestor a bad name for doing no wrong or for pursuing a legitimate ambition. However if they were in the same party and Azikiwe was his party leader you would have been making a tiny bit more sense

In conclusion the idea that no one should have opposed Azikiwe or that anyone with an ambition same as his is a tribalist is not well thought out

Sorry to say this, but your post is senseless. All you have done here is babbling instead of making a point.

Proper progressives

It can never happen , pls tell us in this current dispensation give one example of Yoruba given opportunity in the east, I have worked in all your 5 states or Yorubas not staying there? now Yoruba is not tribalistic but ndi Ebonyi can't be anything in Anambra or Enugu .

Ofunaofu:
Don’t say it can never happen in the south east, of course it can. Leadership doesn’t just fall from the sky. When you live in a community and actively participate in its socio-political activities, people naturally begin to trust and recognize you. That’s how leadership positions come.

But when you isolate yourself from the socio-political life of the community you live in, don’t expect leadership positions to come looking for you.

Zaccheus Okoro must have actively participated in the community he found himself in, and that is why the people of Ise/Ikere-Ekiti found him worthy of political office, irrespective of his tribe.

If u know that,then why do u agitated for Obi or nothing? Every Nigerian politicians loved by the people should be voted for not to Bully anyone.
