So i take it youre pretending all the hate and bullshit igbos spew at other tribes on this forum, facebook, their radio biafra, various newsites comment sections is no biggie huh?

I cant open a single Vanguard article without seeing a flood of hate comments from igbos (and i know theyre igbo because they got their biafra flag as their pic ) or simply the name (for ldiots who comment with their facebook profiles).

If theres any hate being thrown at igbos then its practically a mirrored one. The originators of such hate is debatable but as far as im concerned you get the same treatment your fellows dish out on others so dont even try to play the victims here.

The bolded looks like a nice suggestion for my work. Permit my stealing in advance.lol

AuntySusan:
My dear I've seen insults from both ways: sometimes Igbos start the insults and Yorubas react or vice versa. Or Hausas vs Igbos etc I've seen it from all angles

However I've noticed that those that don't like Igbos are almost always same people that hate Jonathan also.
Why is that?

Lemon12:
op I did a search about Yoruba people on google...... This is what I got.....


If u don't believe me u can search for your self

The fact remains that Jonathan traded in division and he hoped that he could profit from it.
There were over 4 million votes for Jonathan outside of SS and SE in the last election, so by that assertion over some 25% or more of total votes cast in the 2015 election.

But there has been an ethnic bitterness, especially the confrontation between the SW and the SE.

The SW are naturally very politically independent and lack a defined allegiance, when you think that as of 2009/2010 people like Tinubu were voicing their concern on how GEJ was about to be cheated out of the presidency, he received a great deal of votes subsequently in 2011 even thou ACN had a viable presidential candidate. Then came January 2012 and the subsidy removal, any sincere Nigerian knew PTMS subsidy had to go but the timing was wrong and the politically active SW was in a frenzy similar energisation of kano , Kaduna , PH. But even with the general feeling SE decided not to budge they suffered the consequences of and jeopardised the national consensus.

I think that whole decision of the SE to never say evil about the government even when it was glaring and needed criticism using our brother excuse.

owobokiri:
You are all over the place with your random analyses. . How does the SE refusal to join the subsidy protest translate to a suppot for "evil"? And how can you extricate tribalism from the war against jonathan/igbos, when right from its formation, your APC made no pretenses as it regards her willingness to unleash a tribal gang up in a bid to hyjack power?

@ topic

Forcing an igbo identity on jonathan wasn't a coincidence. That was a major plank of APCs plan to arouse as much hate as possible from their base against jonathan. Those who crafted that plan were well aware of the wide-spread resentment of the igbo mans guts in the APC strongholds . Some of their internet hirelings can't locate the 'stop' button any more and so have gone overboard with their hate speaches, even after the presidential inauguration.

AuntySusan:
My take is that if Igbos are guilty of supporting Jonathan's every move, pro Buharists are already guilty of same.
Personally there are one or two things so far that Buhari has done that may not be right, but I'm yet to see how many pro Buharists that don't defend each of them.
So dont u think u lack the moral right to condemn Igbos for doing exactly the same thing u're doing today? No? That's btw though


So are u saying Igbos are hated because of Jonathan
Or Jonathan is hated because of Igbos?

Ichieboxy:
1)How much respect does Fayose enjoy from Yoruba including elites like falana, Soyinka simply because he's pro PDP?...Hypocrisy defines most of you here...

2)Facts are sacred bro...Yoruba have proven beyond reasonable doubt to be chief tribalists in Nigeria and can NEVER vote anybody outside their tribe in elections...Otherwise can you compare Obj 4years and Jonathan 4years...yet Yoruba supported Obj for 2nd term notwithstanding buhari was contesting...

3)Let me end by showing you how Yoruba has been voting along tribal line since independence (facts are sacred bro)...Quit denigrating other tribes especially Igbo to cover your lies and ethnic bias...

The South-West zone has 14,296,163 registered voters, which represents 19.44% of the total number of voters nationwide. In terms of national electoral strength, the zone is number 2. Taking into account the electoral behaviour of the South-West since independence, the zone has proven itself, without exception, of incapable of voting anyone other than its own.

In the 1st Republic, it voted mainly Action Group in favour of Chief Obafemi Awolowo with about 69% voters’ turnout.

In the 2nd Republic, it voted 78.75% of its total votes cast for UPN in favour of Chief Awolowo, with 70% voters’ turnout.

In the June 12, 1993 presidential election, the pattern was repeated more or less the same, except that the total percentage of SDP’s votes in favour of Chief MKO Abiola
rose up to 84.5% in the zone.

In the 1999 presidential election, mainly because the only
two candidates for the presidency were both from the South-West, the zone’s voters’ turnout was abysmally low (48.09%) with about 68% of the votes cast to APP in favour of Chief Olu Falaye. 2003 also recorded poor voters’ turnout with 71% of votes cast for Obasanjo’s PDP.

In 2011, with no Southwestern candidate fielded by any of the major parties, the South-West voted PDP when a functional alliance with the CPC failed to field in Sen. Tinubu or his nominee. Besides, with the vicious experience of AD in 2003 when the PDP Federal Government uprooted its governments in five states of the zone, the South-West cannot now afford to risk having an opposition PDP government at the federal level again; certainly not after the hard pains and toils of forming the APC. It is therefore existential for the South-West to vote APC at the presidential election.

AuntySusan:
Good morning nlers,

I've bn observing nl politics section for sometime now. There's this trend I've noticed on this section. Once I see a moniker that displays deep hatred for Igbos, it usually turns out to be that the same moniker shows deep hatred for Jonathan too. By that I mean, the person never sees anything good about Jonathan just like they don't see anything good about Igbos.

Is it safe to say that the hatred for Jonathan attract hatred for Igbos or the hatred for Igbos attract the hatred for Jonathan. Is there a possibility that these two can be mutually exclusive?

I know this is an annonymous forum but please This is a research topic for me and I need honest answers. I need as many comments as possible so I can conclude my work.
I also hope to find anyone in the missing category so I can get their opinion on this too.

Thanks guys

ERockson:
@op Cant you see that almost the same people hating Tinubu hate Yoruba and are using different media to propagate it. There is no difference btw you and ur project supervisor. Stop the victim card game and do a meaningful project research

change49ja:
You're so on point. Is like asking if there is Any Correlation Between The Hate For Tinubu And That For Yorubas?

AuntySusan:
That could be a topic however, remember that Tinubu is Yoruba also

change49ja:
OP check below the topic I created less than one month after Buhari was sworn in and you'll have an idea of the type of person I am. I'm not an hypocrite who hides behind his/her keyboard just to dish out trashes.

Believe it or not, Yorubas are strongly watching Buhari and they're taking notes. If they don't spare their own, they won't spare Buhari if he starts to misbehave, trust me. This is one thing I like about the Yorubas. They're not two-faced people.

You see, the truth is people don't hate Igbos....I honestly don't know where you get that from. Yes, there have been distrusts and all that in the past but life goes on.

And if truly you're conducting a research, I'll advice you to go on the street as well and not to base your final submission on Nairaland alone which I think you're already doing.

Can I ask you why most Igbos on Nairaland hates Gov. Okorocha

AuntySusan:
You're not the first person to allude to the bolded on this thread

If Jonathan is tagged igbo simply because he's neither Hausa nor Yoruba, does that mean Nigeria only recognizes three tribes?

If it is about tribe, what tribe is Jonathan? What happens to other tribes in the southern part of Nigeria? What's their place in Nigeria politics?

psychu:
Yes, there is always generalisation and stereotypical association..There are different ethnic groups in the north but being Muslim from the north and able to communicate in Hausa makes them one. While the rest are the other. In Nigeria, on the streets of the major cities I have been to, You are either Aboki, inyamiri, ofe mmanu, or Omo Igbo.
By the way another thought you should factor...from my personal experience, socially and professionally, all Nigerians I have met show a level of tribal sentiment no matter how highly placed..It is called the unconscious bias. Our brain judge people quickly by the name or appearance before we get to know them. It takes years of self awareness and conscious practice to purge yourself of this. You can run a little experiment to confirm this fact, send a cv bearing a typical Igbo name and Yoruba name with the same qualification to an Igbo or Yoruba HR. Let it be the same qualifications but alter the arrangement and some other details, check the candidate that will be picked..

yak:
We av bn so divided by our fore-fathers before woes of war and lack of studies in Nigerian history dd d worst. Nigerian education system refused to tell us our story, so our parents dd. As long as am concerned, we need to 'go back before we move forward'. Memories of Nigerian civil war need to b wiped. NYSC,Unity schools, federal universities and such other plastic measures av failed. It's time to open d wound cos its decaying in d bandage.open d wound, let it pain us and smell once n heal.

AuntySusan:
Good morning sir,
On a joking but a serious note, you're not in the class being researched here.
I don't see you dish out insults on Jonathan neither have I seen u insult the Igbos.
If everyone plays politics the way you(personally) do, I believe Nigeria will be a better place.

You're truly one of a kind here and will be duly noted in my work.
Thanks a lot

change49ja:
Thanks for your kind words. I believe we're all one before God. So let's continue to preach love and not hate irrespective of our tribe, religion, ethnic or political background/affiliations. God is Love.

sweetgala:
Forget the falana and Yoruba leaders, the Yoruba might respect their leaders but it is not beyond our cultural respect for elders.

If you have been to ekiti you would see how his people love him, last I checked they are Yoruba. The respect many astute Yoruba lack for Fayose is because he is rude, loud and behave like tout, as opposed to how the ekiti asre perceived to be meek and humble, speaking softly. They don't hate him because he supports PDP. Yes the vast amount of SW like APC because they beleive Pa Awolowo ideas can only truly be realised through ACN now a major part of APC

But when you look at SW , you'll see a spread of party affiliation , PDP have had no less than 10 state governors, several senators.

2- Your assertions on the Yoruba voting patern has shown that you are both ethnically bigoted and poorly researched or just have a sinister intention

when OBJ first ran in 1999 his primary opposition came from AD Olu Falae with his main critics being his fellow Yoruba like Bola Ige etc Falae received massive support form SW because he was a direct Awolowo confidant , OBJ had massive support in his core area of Ogun state,

2003 was just a drab election, it was rigged by PDP up north but there was no real opposition, OBJ did a good enough job of satisfying everyone, he cuddles the north, did enough in the SW and never forgot the SE. He was returned without much effort

In 2007 , the SW did not have a strong presidential presentation and most SW voted for Yar'adua he was seems s clean and pure while his brother who was close to OBJ and Bola Ige was assassinated by Abacha

Come 2011 and GEJ was the heart trob of the SW he was the shoeless man from Otuoke , gentle and blessed with luck, he even knelt down in RCCG for divine blessing, I'll recommend you look at the voting stats from 2011 presidential election, ACN had Nuhu Ribadu who by all means is a very competent hand.

Jonathan problems with SW began January 1, 2012 and as long as PDP do not accept that fact, people would remain confused as to how he lost.

Since you have shown the voting pattern of the SW, why didn't you as a comparison benchmark show that is the SE and NC

AuntySusan:
I'll Try
Isn't it ironical that Nigeria is so religious with churches, temples, mosques etc everywhere(motor parks, luxurious buses, on the street, molue) . Turn right or left n behold a place of worship, yet no love
