You are looking for a cheap defense for your people. Go and check the igbo population an lagos and add it to the SS population; then compare the votes. Do the same for ibadan. The truth is 95% or yorubas voted for apc. Ngige is one man, we are talking about the position taken by yorubas as a group. Lastly, even a rat knows that the fulani's have become more brazen because your people voted for a well known jihadist as president. Don't quote me again. You must be brave to admit that yorubas have led Nigeria astray. And there is a price for every decision we take.

Why are you still pained by Jonathan's defeat? He is gone, move on with your life just like everyone else

You are senseless. I don't think you are Igbo. I will rather relate with they fulanis than a Yoruba

Eddygourdo:
as unfortunate as what I will say is, I am igbo. But unlike you I don't see hatred everywhere. I don't wanna be the sensitive igbo man who sees enemies eveywhere. The oba of lagos made a statement , a political statement which although wrong was taken out of context. Nnamdi made treasonable statements that should not be made in the century by anybody. When you say the yorubas have a dialliance with the fulani, what exactly do you mean.
I hate when references are made to imconsequential pieces of history which most people. Do not understand what went wrong there. As far as I am concerned , the yorubas despite their islamic inclination have no meaninful relationship with the north albeit a political one in this current structure. They understand the politics and have aligned themselves with powers at federal level. That the SESS hasn't been able to do that, should be our loss in this current nigeria. Enough of your propaganist hatred for the yoruba who are doing what we could have done to them if we had the same political onus and structure.

I seek a new nigeria comprising or northern nigeria and southern nigeria. The yoruba have more value in that structure after the SS and least the igbos. So whjat is ur problem withj people whose strategic alliance in a southern agenda will bring more good than bad. What exactly. Stop this propaganda of hatred for slight issues that borders on ignorance

this is why kanu found it easy to sell his hate agenda. He knew igbo land had a lot of miscreants with access to internet. Just look at ur existence you this small boy. Please go to romance section and talk love. This issue is beyond u

HOLYMASK:
Plss can we bury the hatchet for once and reason for our betterment? I am an igbo boy and it doesn't make me hate a yoruba man bkx they are refers to as greedy and betrayal tribe, not all of them are like that or don't we have traitors too during the Biafran war? Plss let relate well as one and reason.

This has got nothing to do with loving or hating the Yoruba man. Even in my family, there are some of my brothers and sisters I love very much but I can't stand to be around or live with them under one roof. All I'm saying is that the Igbo and Yoruba man are too different to unite about anything. We can still be friends, just not brothers or anything even close to that.

Eddygourdo:
who told you the igbos are the largest tribe in the SS . Stop being delusional. Name the SS states and please name the tribes in them and state how igbos are the largest

There are seven Igbo Governors in Nigeria:

Ifeanyi Okowa
Dave Umahi
willie Obiano
Rochas Okorocha
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi
Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike
Okezie Ikpeazu

Now how come there are only 5 Igbo States? Do the maths.

1Tkester:
Trash, igbos are not in anyway seeking for any cooperation with the Yorubas. We can handle any threat we face squarely. IPOB,has been matching progressively forward to the extent that even EU has started deliberations on Biafra, so if we can achieve this on our own what makes you think we can't handle Those ragtag herdsmen? Even when we fought the entire country including Britain gallantly for three years.

Just yesterday many fulanis residing Enugu had to seek camps in the barracks, we don't need any from of cooperation with the Yorubas, I mean in anyway. They should just leave us alone and go their way.

Thank God my generation is waking up to the shenanigans being played out in Nigeria.

hahahahaha. u pple r hilarious. so u think d EU can decide biafra. i do not know wat ti say. the EU has no jurisdiction in nigeria. if they decide and nigerians say no, it wont happen. god forbid... who wants to be stuck with SE?

gidgiddy:
Igbos and Yorubas are tribes, SS is not. So unless you know the tribe you are talking about, that comment is baseless. Igbos are even the largest tribe in the so called SS.

ehnnnnn they want to claim SS oooooooo. SS watch out

Eddygourdo:
wow. Kanu this kanu that. You all are the igbo impostors. Mark my words in heaven and on earth. No propaganda of kanu will come to pass. This thread supercedes all ur eeasoning. No body with hatred in his heart can change the world. Hitler tried it , mussolini tried it , and these were great men. Not a deluded person like kanu who saw a niche in uneducated igbos. I will misplace you in which ever village you come from in igbo land. Call it here and watch me shame yo

d northerners r even more sensibles than yeebos dese days. education should b a priority in SE

I swear. Very unfortunate but true

Eddygourdo:
yes oh bro. I really dispute. But before we argue, I need to under the premise you standing on. You are invariably saying that these igbos are of greater population than other tribes in the SS ?
That was the submission I countered. The presence of minority igbo tribes amongst the major ones in SS , isn't a big deal. But sayin the igbos are in majority there, then we will argue that to the pits of hell

they have tried to decieve SS into their hate driven tribal delusion of integration. dat didnt work. the next card is to claim indigens of SS states and claim d states. igbos should go back 2 their land. abi they r chasing fulanis away. they should go back.

Eddygourdo:
you talk about hatred, you talk about marginalzation and yet you are worse than your oppresors. He hate you spew and posess is so overwhelming that hitler has nothing on you. You should be ashamed of yourself taht partisan politics has taken over ur reasoning. Thank God the future of the igbo race will never rest on the shoulders of ur likes or nnamdi. Else the igbo race is doomed . Where fools hold sway and scream I hate the zoo they didn't allow us rule them.

my dear for someone who is ready to hear the real truth from a non igbo to igbos. Igbos r very great hard working people. They r very industrous and innovative. However their hate and self-supremacy has hindered growth. The north had this exact problem about 10 yrs ago, but were able to identify and curb it. Go to the north and see d new generation of vibrant youths sensibly coming together to say No to their northern corrupt politicians irrespective of party/tribe/religion.

Igbos can own the entire manufacturing of Nigeria. U have d capacity, rather than quickly harness it, they sit and allow other groups to take things they would have done better. While yeebos have been screaming marginalization:

Dangote (A Northerner) will soon control power/industry/food
Yorubas are beginning to gain d political attraction of d people and no one can deny that they r progressive educated people. They r owning tech
SS has dibs on oil/crude/uranium products, they will decide oil/power prices if dis federalism bill goes tru (i hope so)

Every one is in dis administration is slowly realizing d role they have play for society to move forward. they can own all important sectors of this economy, but will never settle down to think and strategize. Even wen they do their strategy is hate filled and what u get is the current Yeebos hate filled media today.

U guys need to snap out of it, focus on education and training and start offering. Igbos r d china of Nigeria. If they were wise they would have handled so many things immediately importation was banned. It is called monopolizing in d 21st century. Doing something so well noone else dares compete.

clevadani:
I want to commend the op 4 coming up with a thread like. But it is obvious that bigots will always be bigots and will never reason rationally. They will keep hurting themselves in order to disrupt their perceived enemies. They lack vision and will forever remain stagnant because they will never listen to superior arguments. Instead, they will start throwing invectives about when confronted with such. The best I can do is laugh when I read their posts because it lacks reason.
Though I like being a Nigerian, I feel a united southern Nigeria will favor every southerner more than he/she will care to admit. Every region in southern Nigeria is already contributing immensely to the nation and still filled with vast untapped potential. From the business capital west Africa in SW Nigeria to the industrial hub in SE to the oil rich SS region, our capability is amazing if only we can put our perceived difference aside. Though the north is more richer than the south in terms of resources, they are still an albatross dragging the south backwards. Most northern leaders are simply selfish and intentionally leave their people poor and uneducated for their own political interests. So that they can be easily manipulated.
But this manipulation doesn't stop up north. They are still manipulating southerners and making us suspicious of each other. Until we unite, nothing will happen. Only continuous internet rants.

d northerers r even wiser now. go to the north now and try corruption. sheriff is hated by his people. They r now wiser. They r now united in their fight against corrupt hopeless leaders. N u say most northern leaders... R d southern leaders any better? they r all hopless politicians and untill we come together as Nigerians and kick them out, we will remain here. Northerners have done this already. Southerners r still playing I hate u, i love ojukwu game.

Eddygourdo:

Igbo man. See how you are gradually exposing yourself. Oga the Igbos don't want an alliance with the Yellowbars, is it by force? When a thread is created here on NL, don't you see how they jump into supporting the hausas and fulanis even if it's not OK by them so far as it hurts the Igbos? The hatred is everywhere on the street, in church, at work, just name it. They are comfortable with the Hausas, why take them away from such alliance.
Please stop claiming to be Igbo. Raise your point and argue intellectually but don't claim igbo to buttress any point.

In rivers they are not minorities in Delta they are not minorities sndbmaybe minority in cross river and akwa Ibom and fringes of edo and bayelsa but when you collate them together they are the biggest set in Niger Delta so these we can comfortably go with

MirabelArode:
Before Kanu called out the yorubas there was an Oba of lagoon who openly threatened the Easterners. Do you want us to convieniently forget that? Pls reply me, I would like to read your defense here.

no be una threaten first. una go gree if Yoruba man begin de dictate governor for una mgbeke land

You don't need to talk
Jonathan was evidence how the West hated SS
Dizieani was evidence
Nimasa man was evidence
The way you miljee SS was evidence

Do you think that SS are stupid ..they see far and know their neighbours never had anything against them
This was proved during 2015

Jonathan failure was a blessing for SE and SS

Yoruba should stop this thing..it is becoming shameful and embarrassing ...after acting funny 2015 elections an d conniving with north to form alliance they think we don't know

Now they are fidgeting that SS and SE are together. The honest truth is that Yoruba has always been the black sheep of the southern Nigeria and we all know this . I just don't know why..right from independence

SE and SS has formed an alliance which has been there for centuries so why are the Yoruba worried . they should know that people understand

MirabelArode:
yorubaman, Driving Taxis in PH and speaking Ikwerre doesn't make you one. Don't just make noise here, go on the streets of Pitakwa(Igweocha) and organize an Anti-IPOB rally, that'll speak volume than the useless spittle you are throwing around here. Go test the popularity of your views on the streets. Noisemaker!

Give up on that guy..He is a foregone case. Ezepromoe and TonyChristopher took him to cleaners once over his stupidity

Eddygourdo:
Happy sunday to you all, hope una go church and have decided to truly repent. Anyways I get matter that bothers me a lot. The opinions of nairalanders might be inconsequential when an entire nation of 170mil is considered. But still its opinions and differences indicate a possible trend afterall.

I go through the political section and I see three things.
1. The yorubas and the igbos assume they are enemies and can't stand each other.
2. The northerners are united to any cause , be it evil , good or outright callousness

3. Most nigerians have lost faith in the nigeria project and prefer to waste time being incoherent opositions .

Look at korea, look at the americas during the civil war, look at most recently sudan. The division they sought occured between northern and southern lines. Thanks to coastal advantage, the south always prospers. Look at nigeria , a perfect example is the unity by some unfortunate governors who came out to declare stleath support for fulani herdsmen attacks. They know its wrong , they know these people are murderers who hope to carry on their activities, yet they stood united in their opinion. Everybody knows that , if only oil was found in the chad basin in economic quantities, the north would have broken off a long time ago.

Why then aren't the entire south a more united front despite our differences. We have a lot in common than what divides us, we are religiously tolerant, we have a large portion of educated people who could assume an elite class when needed, we aren't murderous no matter what, our union as a united south would forster the benefits of diversity. So what are the differences amongst the yoruba and the igbos on nairaland that fosters all the hate. I believe all these aren't representative of real situations . I have many yoruba friends and many yorubas have igbos as friends.

A unified southern nigeria, would create a platform for real democratic practise, we will be away from the born to rule people who encourage murderous behaviour. There is need for a unified southern nigeria and middle belt. We will disagree but we won't kill each other for it. Its not natural to us

op did you see it?
Your thread caused more division
your people have problems it not the north that is your problem.

Trash, yoruba as usual lecturing Igbos yet Igbos live better than do. Mouth action is not real action.

Jonathan this,jonathan that.This jona u wants to die for,who brought him from the wilderness of bayelsa to become the VP, no be obasanjo a yoruba man,when Turai and co were kicking all over the place who stood for him by protesting on the street,in 2011 didnt yorubas voted for him massively.in all of this where were the ibos.u mention diezani and NIMASA,so u think the yorubas are like ibos that will protest because of some useless politician.The fact is, yoruba dont need the ibos for any thing, it is the ibos that need the yorubas.

I never said the south had better politicians. They are united in their quest to leave this country eternally stagnated through mindless looting and visionless leadership.
But that notwithstanding, northern leaders/elite are the worst set of leaders one can ever ask for. They deliberately leave their people uneducated which breeds poverty so that they can be easily manipulated politically.
Just look at the vast resources located in the north being left unexploited because the illiterates don't know what to do with it. Yet the children of almost every Northern leader schools abroad.
It is a sorry situation.

Oga it will take a millennium for the north to get wiser. Ask me why? Islam is one thing that stops people from been logical . I have been to north and I know what I mean

They have the mentality if anything Western is Christian and that is why you hardly see them in north taking education for example ...I have passed through kaduna to Abuja then gone to Zaria you will see ample lands and opportunity yet these people are still backward

Do you know that if north has been educated or open to education they can produce foodstuffs and add value chain in it..but what do you see today in north ..marrying kids as early as 10 having vvf and so many things . OK look at how they voted ..they just voted not because the man has any economic blueprint but because he is a Muslim ..that's is height of illogicalities

Oga take it or leave it. .the north will never be wiser. Left for me I think no northern man will contest untill they need certain standards in living ..charity must continue from home . you can't give what you don't have


OK look at buhari and tell me one impact he made in daura alone . tell me any NGO he is into before and tell me his economic blueprint. The answer is none and that is why we are in this mess today. It might be hard to believe but the truth is that north brought Nigeria to were it is today from independence. Only the killings is enough for any region like SE and SS to form alliance because they are the only 99.99% Christian zone and I am in total support of it

So we should stop chastising them..they are sure of the union

Ethiopia and Eritrea was Eastern line also

So your theory doesn't hold water

I agree and pray one hundred percent for the unity of sw, se, ss and nsc.

More trash, IPOB have proven their worth on the streets of Igweocha with swagger, you on the other hand hide behind anonymity to claim SS hate IPOB but love yorubas. You can't organize a simple 10-man Anti-IPOB rally to prove your point, only mouth action.

Mr yoruba stop trying too hard, Just concentrate on your taxi job in Igweocha, so you can get a piece to eat.

Give up on that man

new2020:
Shattap there...shattap I say. You talk about Kanu inciting the Igbos against Yorubas...let's put that in context: Has any Igbo man ever physically attacked any yoruba in the history of Nigeria? None...yet you continue to flame this useless mendacity. Where were you when Oba Akiolu wanted to drown Igbos in the Lagoon?...you hypocrites. Where were you when Yoruba Dallas doctor called for Igbo pogrom? Hypocrites. Ever since the history of Nigeria, yorubas have been the one perpetrating evil on the Igbos for no reason if not borne of gratuitous envy. Tell me one thing...just one thing Igbos have ever done to yorubas in the history of Nigeria? You can't name one but I can name you several wicked things done to the Igbos by Yorubas for absolutely no reason. Enough of this hypocrisy!

I looked at the deaths and Amputees in Enugu, and I can't stop blaming yorubas for these. Yes I blame you people for the continued deaths in this country... for refusing to end this useless contraption because you benefits from Lagos...ports, airport, e.t.c. at the expense of others.

And how did Yoruba's caused any harms to Enugu people dear? The fights btw Igbo's and Yorubas is one of ideology rather than any physical war. Oba was routinely lampooned by all right thinking Yoruba's. But, I will like to know if you've condemned Kanu's hate speeches against Yoruba's. And to think the continuation of this war of attrition will help either of us is the height of folly.

Talk about friends and brother, u haven't seen a friend who is more than a brother? Let's just forget about the past and move on. If the new generation refuses to listen to the old ones u will be surprised about the love we will have for eachother.

If u still doubting my origin just text me your email and I will tell u exactly where am from. Embrace change and move forward or fight it and be left behind. You don't fight everything u don't understand sometimes u need your brain to survive. If a dog can relate with man why do u think its impossible for the SE and SW to relate? Nothing is impossible.

Realman87:
My dear, I was a true Nigerian before i joined nairaland. But with time, I saw the true evil nature of majority of yorubas. And the 2015 elections made it worse. See how people are butchered everyday because of the selfishness of yorubas. Mind you, Buhari's antecedent is well known, but because of appointments, the yorubas sold Southern Nigeria to the Fulanis. They will PAY for this over the next 50yrs. I promise you.

Yeah I understand, but I see that as fighting for their pride. Even a girlfriend will be at fault but still will be shouting she is not wrong. It all bkx of the way we approach issues. U wunt expect a guilty man to accept his wrong by shouting at him, u will only achieve that by talking to him gently and making him know how his actions hurt u. No matter what u term them they are still better than their heartless counterparts.
