kingzizzy: Yes we are cowards at least we don't wake up to moan about 2 million wasted lives and marginalization, if Yorubas did not learn anything from a 100 years of Yoruba civil war that led to our people being carried away as slaves to foreign lands then WE ARE FOOLS. So call us any despicable names you can think, of as long as YOU CANNOT DRAG US DOWN WITH YOU we are ok with it after all " NA YOU GET YOUR MOUTH ". We love Nigeria because Nigerians loved us, can't you see that since independence SW had the magic wand? ask JP Clark and Cyprian Ekwensi. 3 Likes |

kingzizzy: You got it wrong. When i said it will lead to war, i meant a replica of the 1967 civil war. You need to understand that we are not cowards as you portray. Everyone is blinded by the civil war but no one has ever thought of what led to the civil war. When the Igbos planned a coup that killed Sir Ahmadu Bello, 'Master', in Half of a Yellow sun and other Igbos were all rejoicing. Until the northerners struck, they called them evil. They said the North started it first. From the beginning, Biafra was founded on greed, and lust for power. A brief look into the history will do you good. |

Re: Why the Yoruba Nation is not seeking for secession by trapQ: 5:26am On Dec 07, 2015 |
what has dog or bitumen got to do with this? you don't argue like an intellectual fellow. How much revenue has bitumen generated to the Nigerian govt so far? Okay, with all your bitumen, where is Ondo state today? where is the SW today? like I said earlier, every country has its Natural resources. decades ago, our leaders bragged that Nigeria would be too great and rich because of oil but where are we today. Talk about the facts on ground, not what's in your imagination. okongo: |

101percent:igbo were the beneficiaries of the coup, that's why it is termed an ibo coup. Or was it a SS man tha became president and filled all parastatals with ibos after the coup? Why weren't ibo leaders killed like it was done to the other regions? Why did the ibos celebrate the coup in kano and other northern states with flyers and songs recorded to mock the northerners? Pls don't tell me it wasn't an ibo coup. trapQ:pls what do the ibos have? Sea, land, agriculture, |
Re: Why the Yoruba Nation is not seeking for secession by trapQ: 6:05am On Dec 07, 2015 |
NONE. except the coal they keep bragging about in Enugu. Make no mistakes, Igbo is strictly SE. Just like the Yoruba's and Hausas , the igbos will lose drastically if Nigeria secedes because they've added little or nothing to our treasury. The oil they keep whining is less than 2% the total produced in Nigeria. bloodyBLOGGER: 1 Like |

Princewill1: Don't mind them! Yoruba's r so scared of Muslim Hausa Fulani n their terrorist ways that they want "quiet" christian Igbo in their one Nigeria as a buffer. They r at the same time annoyed at Igbo overbearing attitude that they see the HausaFulanis presence as a necessary evil to Igbo attitude. Hausa Fulani wants one Nigeria because they need the Igbo to be saving their asses from one kind of backwardness (7th century type) they have never seen before since they do not want to go to school so as to retain their Islamic faith but they need Yoruba to serve as a buffer to Igbo christian "madness" as its an extension of their Islamic caliphate. What do Igbo get from these two pple groups? Instead of these pple to treat the Igbo with love and as gold there is hatred, more hatred, ever more display of hatred, exploitation of resources(both have control over Eastern n Southern oil wells, rarely employ our sons in them n when they do, they victimize them[the very children of the natural owners of the oil wells in the SE]----just imagine!), human rights abuse, endless HausaFulani n muslim orchestrated murders(without the perpetrators ever brought to justice) etc. We are always at the receiving end of everything n serve as their scapegoats despite it being that we in practice are the actual upholders of team "one Nigeria". The Yoruba's uphold their negative culture over Nigerian constitution(how can they still be looking for ababoku to kill n send to the great beyond with their king in this 21st century?) and the HausaFulani uphold their religion over the Nigerian constitution(refusing to stop paedophilia, numerous childbearing) yet they force Igbo through the supreme court to give up their own negative cultural practices (OSU, female circumcision, the practise of Igbo females not inheriting anything upon the demise of their fathers). In essence they are gradually Yorubalizing and Islamizing Nigeria and the Igbo's one day will find it too difficult(with its forced over westernization by the supreme court) to cope with all these. Isn't the reason why we are team "one Nigeria" supposed to be to help each other overcome our negative cultural n religious practises that kept our ancestors shackled n backward for ages to the extent that the white man left them behind? Yet they prefer to be ever backward than move forward. mtschew. 1 Like |

Adesege: [b] You obviously don't Nigerian history. You don't even know what led to the war. Do you know that Igbos were butchered in 1945? Do you know they were killed again in 1953? Do you think think that Nigeria was a peaceful and happy place and Igbos just got up and conducted a coup? The 1964 elections brought mayhem and violence on Nigeria, even Awolowo was charged with treason and locked up. This spilled over into 1965 as rampant killings was the order of the day. That is why certain soldiers under Nzeogwu decided to strike in January of 1966. One of the ring leaders of that coup was a Yoruba man called Major Ademoyega. Not even Nzeogwu who led the coup had any interest in taking over Government. What led to the war was the insatiable greed of the North for Oil and power. The North had already conducted their own counter coup, installed Gowon. Why did Gowon decide to turn his back on the Aburi agreement he signed with Ojukwu? This is question is what people should ask Gowon. Another baffling question the Yoruba nation should ask themselves is why they let Northerners ride over them all the time? The Yorubas witnessed these Northerners slaughter over 50,000 easterners in 1966 but still the Yorubas thought "these Northeners are the best to be in Nigeria with". Really? The Yorubas say 'Lagos is our land' but it is from this same Lagos that the Northerners controlled and ran Nigeria to the ground for many years. On two different occassions, the Northerners denied the Yorubas the presidency but the Yorubas did nothing. Today, the historic Yoruba city of Ilorin has become a Nothern Nigeian emirate with a sitting Hausa/Fulani Emir. Why did Yorubas condone all of this if not cowardice? The Yoruba man is even the biggest critic of the Igbos and Ojukwu who stood up to Northern domination. I don't expect everyone to be brave. I don't expect everone to have the spine or backbone to fight for their right. What I expect is for people to start telling themselves the truth. There isn't an Igbo man alive who doesn't think that the Yoruba man is born bred coward [/b] 1 Like |

naijalander: Let me tell you something. You have no wisdom if you have no sovereignty. In every war, there is one group fighting for their sovereingty on one side and another group fighting to take that sovereinghty away. Who do you think was fighting for what in the Nigerian/Biafran war? |

naijalander: Leave this chest beaters alone. The same people who are forcefully attaching themselves to the SS. The same people the cannot confidently locate where they can have sea port. Apart from shouting Biafra, what else have they fought for in Nigeria. From independent till date the Yorubas are the most vocal group in Nigeria Human Rights activist -Yorubas Pro democracy activists - Yorubas Social economic activists - Yorubas Civil society- Yorubas Politics activists - Yorubas. The SW don't need any attachment with any group to stand alone. We can decide to build Seaports from Badagry to Ondo, the coast is available. We can decide to build industries all over Ogun and Oyo We have enough Land for agriculture We can decide to explore crude oil deposit from Lagos-Ogun-Ondo. Give the children of hate their BIAFRA today, they will be finding their way back to the SW. 1 Like 1 Share |
