I owe it my unborn generation to make sure they don't get to share the same country with the Odua-Arewa, I would have failed them, if Biafra don't become a reality.

I don't hate the Odua-Arewa, but we have no business sharing same country with them, we have virtually nothing in common with them, other than our skin colour. We will make good neighbors with them as members of ECOWAS.

logica:
There has been a wrong use of terms which I believe started with the Sardauna (Ahmadu Bello).

When you speak of "dominate", what comes to mind is like the Barcelona FC team of present. They dominate. And why do they dominate? Because they are head and shoulders above all other teams.

On the other hand, what the Igbo as a group tended to do is called amassing. Like a crowd of piranha on a hapless goat.

Everyone knew they (the Igbos) had most to gain from the Nigerian contraption. For instance, Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani had been interacting way back since the 15th Century. The Igbos had been isolated for so long till the Oyinbos came along to build bridges connecting them to the South West and North. So they suddenly developed a wanderlust and wanted to spread across the country. Meanwhile Yorubas and Hausas who had wanderlust were already old, tired or dead so not many were engaging in such travel. But it was the behavior of the surjourners in their various host lands that was ultimately their undoing.

Each time the igbo try to forget, it will take a stupid action like a first class oba threatening publicly to drown a tribe in the lagoon to make us remember that 1967-70 is still here with us.

Aaah! Barcanista! E'tu Brutus!

Issokay o!


But seriously, we need ot discuss the "underlying issues", vent if necessary and then let it go as you said.
I am even surprised that those who did not witness the war, seems to be more at loggerheads with themselves, for a generation with access to internet and technology, for that mater!

Look at the way they are just lying and believing their lies.

I have set a template for myself, my transaction between Yorubas I must open eyes because I have learnt from the mistakes of others.

Friendship with a Yoruba is a friendship, when business calls we do and go our seperate ways.

I have really learnt a lot and thank God my life is still emerging, many loopholes and pitfalls will be avoided and Yorubas are one of them by the time I set out.
Its not a threat, its a fact, sombody that is not predictable and trustworthy is worst than be a terrorist or enemy because a covert enemy is worst than a defined enemy

betty202020:
OK like u said we can not leave together, I am igboman , if u say we can not live together, let the two tribes maintain peace. our people said for one to wash his two hands clean, left hand must wash right hand and vise vasa. let peace reign. nature has placed us in southern region of the country, we should bury our differences and forge ahead. the war was between east and north though the roles west played cannot be forgotten easily but we will not be like this forever. now even if we go our separate ways, won't we have ambassadors to odua republic or what ever name our Western brothers choose to bear. won't we have bilateral agreements? let peace reign . Okey now we have interethnic marriages going on between us on daily basis is it not enough reason for us to leave in peace? let us maintain peace .

You have spoken well. May we have more of people like you amongst us.
Even if we go our separate ways, we would be what we call "neighbouring countries"! Will igbos still not come to Lagos to do business and vice-versa?
The East has the goods, the West has the market; Its that not mutually beneficial to both?

I dont see Nigeria and Rep. of Benin being peopled with humans who hate themselves else, it will be even worse than now that "Nigeria" still binds us together!

I was just laughing at their brazzen display of lies in an uncouth way.

These are people that

Celebrated Oba Akiolu as a hero.

Celebrated Abraham Ariyo as a hero.

Some of the people running their mouths here could be spotted in the picture below.

I know a Yoruba for two things first as a liar and second as a coward, their ways are no longer strange to me.

I really dont have a problem with Yorubas as individuals, I have a good Yoruba friend from Kwara, he is a nice guy with no problem.

But individuals must be separated from nations. There are Israeli Arabs, but that does not mean that Israel should now start coexisting with Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

This is the mistake some one Nigerian Igbo apologists are guilty of. They are too emotionally unstable and have failed to separate individual entanglements from national ideologies.

Because I have a Yoruba wife, a Yoruba friend or Yoruba in-laws, nieces and nephews, therefore Ndiigbo must co exist with Yorubas, one Nigeria must stand, this is how shallow their reasoning are, but good a thing they are but an insignificant minority, the majority of Ndiigbo will have their way in the end.

Dannyset:
I have a lot of Igbo friends, and I can't remember the last time we exchange insult cos of tribe. Some of us just allow the seed of discord sown by politicians and some elders, to grow in our heart.

SUBWAY101:


The truth is we Yorubas have nothing in common with Yeebhoes as well. You people come online to say Yoruba is holding from going, how are we holding you? The reality on ground shows yeebhoes are the one trooping to SW daily, you open your biafra thread on nairaland owned by a Yoruba man and still tell us not to comment. You hate us and we hate you too with passion. Declare your biafra and stop making noise on a Nigerian forum. Simple

Why then do you threaten death and Hades at the mention of Biafra, why does the word Biafra send trepidation down your hearts?

NL is owned by a Yoruba man, it's not a property of Odua-Arewanistan republic, I don't have a problem with individuals, I simply don't want to share same national identity with Odua-Arewa people, and I am happy the feeling is mutual.

T8ksy:



Thank you, my brother!!! Agba oni ton ni 'le yin.

In addition to the bolded above, out of 21 ministerial post, the northerners (NPC) took 10 juicy posts leaving 11 for the south.

The ibos (NCNC) been the greedy souls they are, took 10 leaving 1- minister of Labour for the yorubas. This was all alluded to by Akintola in his

1965 campaign speech. The video too is on Youtube.Yorubas now could clearly discern why the ibos were all for One Nigeria where they hope to

dominate their so-called fellow countrymen. This was why Akintola too had to die at the hands of the jan 15th coupists just as the sardunna was

earmarked to die for protecting the interest of his people in this unholy union.

Mckennedy:


until yorubas apologise for all igbo treasury they looted and at the end of the civil war,, don't forget igbos were giving £20 only no matter how much millions you may have banked with Nigerian bank provided you're an igbo..Secondly the idea of food blockade instigated by Awolowo is another food for thought,, yorubas should put pride away and apologise to igbos on all these issues , less I forget last time I checked Fashola deported igbos from lagos,Oba Akiolu treating to dump them in the lagoon,so where are your love??.until the sovereignty of the disposes people are addressed there will never be peace.

pazienza:
You opening article is full of conjectures, lies and half truths, that had all been exposed and thoroughly trashed out here on NL time and time again.

It is safe to say that Yorubas have reached a point of no return in the lies and false propaganda against Ndiigbo, if after thorough debunking, you still stick to your half baked lies and half truths.

I mean, what's the point of this thread? To start going back and front on issues already discussed in the past? That will be a waste of time.

In summary, your thread belongs to nowhere but trash bin. Such a waste of internet space.

SUBWAY101:


You cant beat a child and still tell him not to cry. The hatred is mutual, this is nairaland and not biafraland. We all have the right to comment on any thread on this board. No one is threatening you cos of biafra, you are the people making noise on radiobiafra that you will kill Yorubas and we are also letting you know you will all die in millions if you try it. I have got no yeebhoe friend anymore and also let them know now that the hatred is mutual. Declare your biafra and stop mentioning Yoruba everywhere, you cant be denigrating my tribe and want me to keep quiet. Are you crazy?

Nairaland is owned by a Yoruba man you all hate his people and its the property of NIGERIA. Leave our region and send our people away from your region, its a simple case. You cant be in my region and still threatening to kill me and want me to keep quiet. We will always return your insult daily until you all go back to your cursed land and leave us alone. We are enemies henceforth.

If l were you, even if l could not "repeat" the truth here or point out he "lies", l would just provide a link to it so that others might read it and make an "informed and independent opinion" on it truthfulness.
You just want everyone to swallow your own version of events, right?

Okay, you called it "half-truths", that means there are some truths in it, right?
We are getting there!

Pride makes it difficult to accept certain facts of life, at times, but we are not here to trade blame.
Its a sort of South Africa's "truth and reconciliation" thread.

"closing your eyes in daylight and saying it is Night time, does not make it night time" though!

The truth will set you free, one day!

I read a thread by one of our Igbo brothers, linked here
Let us settle our differences, Igbo group tells Lagosians: https://www.nairaland.com/2450640/lets-settle-differences-igbo-group.
I think this is a very heart-warming and credible effort on the part of the group.

I have decided to create this response, as a way forward on the issue.
The idea is to "TRY" to explain things from the point of view of a Yoruba person so that once we know what the issues are, we can begin to iron them out.

logica:
Akintola once referred to the University of Ibadan in which the Igbo VC elected to employ 109 Igbos and just 3 Yorubas right there in the Yoruba heartland. He mentioned this in a video aptly titled "Idi wahala laarin Yoruba ati Igbo". Now you think of it; what manner of a person can be so brazenly nepotistic? You bring a stranger into your house in the name of "Pan Africanism", then rather than feed your children, he starts taking your food to the land he came from. That person takes you for a great f0ol and has no iota of regard for you; neither does he know what decorum is.

That summarizes the problem. It goes beyond the civil war. It was there before the civil war, and it remained after.

pazienza:



Lol! Nairaland is full of threat threads against Biafrans.
No Igbo man is interested in killing any Yoruba man, as long as you don't stand on our way out of the zoo, as long as you embrace you Arewa-Oduanistan republic, all will be fine. Don't know where you are getting the threats of Igbos killing Yorubas from, my guess is that like so many other lies your progenitors passed on to you that you now propagate, the Igbo threatening to kill Yorubas is all but a new addition to the folder. *grins*

No time in Hisory had Ndiigbo killed strangers in Igboland, unlike some people, we are not savages.

Nairaland can't be left for Yorubas to spread their falsehood against Ndiigbo, that was the mistakes our fore runners did, leaving the media propaganda to you lots. The New Igbo generation know better.

We will be here 24/7 to tear to shreds your falsehoods against Ndiigbo, we really do not care whether you want us here or not, we are here, deal with it anyway you want.

Igbo children are often thought to have a distrust of their Yoruba friends. A Yoruba parent would not often call their child aside say" be careful of that Igbo boy" however Igbo parents use false tales of the civil war to cloud their kids judgement

Threat about what? How can a sane Yoruba man open a thread to threaten you cos you want to go to biafra. What are we benefiting from yeebhoes? Nothing. You have oil and we have oil as well, there is nothing you have that we dont have in abundance. So whats the problem?

You are a born liar and reason I now hate you ediots. What is Arewa-oduanistan? Shameless being, face your biafra alone and anything that happens after biafra is not your concern or problem. You should be worried about biafra alone and nothing more. You mean Nnamdi Kanu is an Hausa man, so all the threats and curse words on radio biafra is what? You have no shame and you are even comfortable posting lies here. Go to Nnamdi Kanu facebook, or listen to his programme and you will hear the daily threats. We are not complaining about his threat, so you should not ever complain when a Yoruba person threaten you as well. The threat and curse should be mutual, if you bring your war you will regret it as usual. We are not holding you from declaring your biafra or war, Kanu is the ediot making the noise daily.

No one is pursuing you away from nairaland, we are only reminding you that this is a Nigerian forum owned by a Yoruba man and we all have the right to comment on any thread. If you dont want us to comment on anything biafra, go open Nigeria Forum and no Yoruba man will disturb you there. In as much as you post your trash here, we will always be there to curse you animals. You people are the one that open threads daily to cry about how others hate you, or how they insult you, we are always ready anyway you bring it.

We are not complaning of your threat cos its now mutual, here is a post of Nnamdi Kanu recently on facebook as posted by a nairalander, telling his people to kill any Hausa and Yoruba bastard yet this cursed animal said Yeebhoes are not threatening to kill anyone. Shameless liar.
