yeah....and who is winning now?

DanielPop:


[s]NO they are not. I have stopped them twice. Once during University department elections and also during our alumni elections. They are not smart but what they have going for them is solidarity. Their religion binds them together and as we know you cannot break the bunch but you can break the broomstick. We are better in politics than them. Infact if you check carefully, they plot using the best brains from the South whom they pay so well. Our problem is that we know too much! We see too much and we talk too much! We are always the first to bring down our own. While the fulani's tried so hard to keep a dead Yar'Adua in power, our brothers like Amaechi and Tinubu worked so hard to bring Jonathan down. Jonathan they said was "clueless" but Yar'Adua was DEAD![/s]

Yorubas were in a hurry to stop igbos from political relevance, they shud have been the ones to strike a deal with ekweremadu in return to support for gbaja, but were blinded by the excitement of taking igbos out of corridors of power. yorubas shud kw that the north is observing their betrayal of fellow southerners and can never trust them. Imagine kwankwaso and Tambuwal being a part of this plot. Only a yoruba and igbo combination can clip the wings of the north, but over sabi wont allow the yorubas

You are just a spectulator with no decency and common sense whatsoever. I asked you to give me the credible politicians in South west and you typed nonsense.
Yes Tinubu is my admirer and I respect him for being the brain child that sent the incompetent and worthless Jonathan back to otueke whom you worship.This is the reason why most of you rant like rats against him.It is just a personal envy and hatered you have for him.
Tinubu is still better than any other politicians you have at present. He has achieved what any other person has achieved and he has nothing to lose.He has made history that has not been made in a generation.
He is not perfect but he is the current leader of the yoruba's.
Majority love him while few hate him which is understandable. Anybody against this should go to hell.
It is left for his supporters to learn from his mistakes and pick up from there.

Of course , all you wanted was a regime change becasue it seems to favor you in the long run which you guys anticipated and made sure it worked but alas they just showed you their true intent.
Don't bother ya head about the Niger Delta because for each tanker load of that precious gold that gets lifted we are sure to bunker something close into our personal pockets and still collect our lion share from the national treasury.
Read my lips Tinubu has been used and about to get dumped and if he makes too much noise I'll advice he should call up the spirits of Abiola and all the rest of them , let them tell him how they took their bitter pills from these people.
You never disliked Jonathan because he didn't perfom , you only wanted him out the way to let the status quo remain and get a better deal but it backfired and you can't be trusted by fellow southerners and the North wouldn't want to play into ya hands after screwing you over and over and again.
Menh.......you guys are truly sophisticated after all.

atlwireles:


You wished they were, it will take Tinubu 10 mins to undo Buhari in public.

luvmijeje:


Is the writer advising Tinubu not to get friendly with the Fulani? Walahi, this article is written by a Tanist.

atlwireles:
People like this writer irritate the hell out of me. You people cannot have it both ways. You lost the SP and Speaker's office and suddenly you maggots are speaking in tongues. What is Jonathan's failure is this man mentally sick. You people did all to sink his ship and you dare come out to cry today. You people have not seen anything yet, Jonathan failed reelection is most likely the great change Nigeria needed for 100 years.

Good many of you can read the hand writings on the wall.

TayoT:

Jonathan's failure to secure a decentralized future for Nigeria is what is discussed in the article and not his failure to govern well. Read again. He refused to play dirty politics which unfortunately is the only way to secure victory around here and for that he has thrown away all he has strived for in bettering Nigeria as a nation.

lokoloko84:
It all depends on how you want deceive and make yourself happy.

meccuno:
am indifferent......am neither hausa nor yoruba...so why should I be happy or sad about your battles? Moreover you didn't even answer the question

Oh I have contributed in more ways than you can immediately appreciate, I've made it clear to you that you're playing ostrich while you're being prepared for barbecue.

DanielPop:
Sterile. Is that why they gave made you the department's mascot?

porka:


[size=13pt]1) Is Tinubu your admirer or you are his admirer?

You probably mean he is your god.

2) And he is also a "brain child" too?

No wonder you guys don't know your right from your left.

3) The article says the New Fulani empire which your "brain child" help create is currently finding him and you his worshipers your appropriate slavery status.

It's not a surprise, it's only half educated fellows like you who will admire and follow someone taking you to slavery.

4) Hatred?

Who hates on someone without a tangible ambition in life?

Who wastes his time on someone whose only life ambition is to be Vice President to Fulani candidates?

Your god, the "brain child", has attempted to be VP to three Fulani candidates from 2007 to-date; Nuhu Ribadu, Atiku Abubakar and Muhammadu Buhari.

He failed on all three occasions.

And on each occasion he came back worse off than when he met those characters.

e5) Yoruba leader?

You don't have an idea what Yoruba leadership entails do you?

Go back and revise your Alawiye series.[/size]

Irrelevant tripe, doesn't change the fact that you will continue to be dominated till you acknowledge reality and re-strategize accordingly.

PabloAfricanus:


Not just Awo, but Ayida and all the civil service and foreign service crew still cringing from the cold blooded murders of January 1966.
Awo with the benefit of hindsight was relatively naive and a bit blinded by his unapologetic tribal politics.
The Igbos were more than willing to have a working relationship with the Yorubas...as most of the Igbo nationalist leaders
had Yoruba leanings, spoke Yoruba or lived and schooled in then Western Region.
I think the Yoruba leaders generally did not like the domineering and pushy attitudes of the Igbos.
The Igbos undoing was their lack of political and diplomatic experience...plus not factoring in London's response
to the deaths of Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa and the rest.
If Awo had chosen the path of secession, there was nothing stopping the Westerners from forcing
the remaining Northern soldiers out of their region.
By the time of the Aburi meetings, majority of soldiers in the divisions had been relocated to their various regions.
It was an opportunity passed on.
The then Western region would have been had a chance of being a model of an organized African country.

Gowon was used, Awo was used both by the British and the Fulanis and they never realized it.
They were rather tolerated by the oligarchs.
As I have commented earlier, the Yorubas played a game of convenience...it was what it was.
But the real masterminds were not even Fulanis or Yorubas...the stakeholders were the old colonialists in London.
Nigeria was likely their checkmate to any oil production instability in the Arabian gulf and elsewhere they had planted puppet rulers.
Even the Soviets and France had to back down on Biafran support when they realized what the game was all about.

The British had decided that only the Hausa/Fulani sufficiently had the political, cultural and military experience to
secure their investments in their former colony.
The Igbos proved too smart and headstrong to play "civilized" politics with.
The Yorubas typically thrived in chaos and educated tribalism...not enough to handle international politics.
The other minorities were just not visible enough.

The only anti-dote to the Fulani (not Hausa/Fulani as some suppose) hegemony while Nigerian remains a nation is the Orkar formula.
Or a complete dismantling of Ironsi's unitary style of govt and a return to the former regions.
Unfortunately the strategic positioning of allies across all ethnic groups by the Fulani would have to be broken first.

My not necessarily correct opinion.

Incorrigible. Sorry for trying.

Lol, I like the Somali comparison - supremely fearless, though not as skilled as the Somalis, and were never able to build a large empire like the Ajuran Sultanate. I was going to throw Eriteans there - but Eritreans are also very skilled fighters. However, in the Nigerian context - being fearless will always get you to ya destination.

I think the reason why the South doesn't have a rallying point is cos the second larger group never really had rallying point, till the arrival of the Brits. And once that happened, they bursted out aggressively in a domineering nature, and have continued to thrive based on that. Had it been that the Edos for example were the 2nd larger group, it would have been easier to find a common ground.
