It means cowardice however you chose to look at it. Are you a lion in the first place or human being a more advanced brain and mind that the lion? I could understand if you call yourself an animal, thus your tolerance level. Pathetic lot

He is igbo..! If we, as a tribe contribute in ethnic bigotry been exhibited by his tribe in administrations that aren't led by persons from our tribe, does he think Naija will still stand as a Nation? We are civil in our actions and thoughts, and that is the basic underlying principle of our existence as a people. Call it cowardice, but it has helped propel us as the most important political factor and unifying agent in the Nation

Because they are the only civil tribe in Nigeria. Enlightened one. They are the reason Nigeria is still one.

To whose advantage is it that Nigeria is "one"? Certainly not the millions without job, without electricity, no money, almajiris & agberos & touts roaming the street.
Only for a few with oil wells.

What is even the meaning of "one"? When there is ethno-religious/herdsmen killing/kidnapping all around?

Because from what I remember, SW threatened to secede during Abacha/Abiola saga.

Is being "one" just expedient when they feel their bread is somehow being buttered?

[size=17pt]Simple. Yorubas are like Europeans.

They don't join Igbo/Hausa in behaving like baboons.

When Muslims/arabs went on the street of France to butcher people you do not see those white calling for the death of all muslims or start burning mosques. They allowed the French police to carry out their duty.

When Dino Melaye verbally harassed Tinubu's wife, you didnt see Tinubu himself going there to fight, he allowed decorum to play.

When Boston bombers bombed and killed many Americans, you didnt see those white guys killing all muslims or starting riot.

When Bush lost an election to obama, you didnt see GOP declaring war. Nobody bombs oil Pipelines to spite Obama government.

When GEJ called us Agbero tribe, we did not make noise,or wail. We kept quiet and wait for the next election day to make our statement.

We are just civil unlike other tribes.

We are tolerant and above all, we value human life.

If this is called cowardice, then I am a happy coward. Remember Yorubas have not lost a war before[/size]

Check very well brother. I am not the OP and I am not here to correct your assertion but to point out one thing you are missing. If you really want to compare your region, why go for Britain? Why not Russia? Britain has the most fearful citizens in the world. They are afraid of anything that flies. They are cowards. Do you think their exit from EU is because they don't gain economically compared to the fund they inject into the union? They are afraid of muslim refuges. they don't say much because they don't want to be attacked.

Ipod yoot. What is happening to SW?

Insecurity is everywhere in Nigeria now. They always want to mock the yorubas at any slightest thing and later come out to preach southern unity

You guys are lucky yorubas are not blood suckers.. Why militants and co. are misbehaving. Keep taking silence for cowardice.

You mean blood suckers like your people ba?

The Igbos are brave, that's why FG (North) takes their case seriously!

no they re not brave but stoopid. whaT Ve dey gained since their protest. even if u ve an igbo president ur aspirations can nevr cum to past because u aint ready for it. i give u sudan as an example

Well, Nigeria is not fantastic, but war no be moinmoin. Go to Somailia, Congo and see what civil war looks like. You and I know that Nigeria will not break peacefully. Its going to be bloody and the war will not end.

I remember a certain Yoruba chief and spiritual leader saying if Buhari isn't voted for, people should be thrown in the lagoon. Yorubas are more power hungry and control freaks than Hausas

They are doing hide and seek, because they are ashamed of themselves, reason behind it is that they are the architect of their undoing. They brought the fire upon themselves, he that brought home the Ants infected firewood is calling Lizards for a feast in his house.

It has eaten deep into his brain like rabies

The simple truth is that, they are too fearful they only know how to make mouth

There's nothing strange about this development. Everything in Nigeria is tied to politics, even issues which ordinarily should have nothing to do with politics are usually influenced by partisan sentiments.

The niger-delta activists all went dumb during the reign of GEJ, even though we all know GEJ did nothing for the region during his presidency. Similarly we had cases of policemen arresting, incarcerating and even killing massob members some years back under GEJ, but we never heard any uproar from anyone in the SE cos the politics in Abuja appeared to be favourable. Similarly there were countless number of fulani herdsmen strikes and clashes with communities in the middlebelt region and in some cases, in the upper parts of the SE; there was never an uproar against the government for the same obvious reasons not until May 29th 2015, and then we all remembered there was some menace in existence called fulani herdsmen.

Furthermore, during the time of GEJ, northern youths raised a lot of dust over even the most meaningless things, today worse things are happening but they've all gone cold and dumb. Can someone please imagine what would have happened had it been that the zaria shiite massacre happened under GEJ?... Hell would have been let lose and the northerners who are mainly sunnis would have remembered that even the shiites are still their brothers and sisters.

Now the SW which has always championed the cause of restructuring seems to have also gone mute, the reasons are obvious, its the abuja political sentiment.

In summary, the fact is that when people make a loud uproar against a perceived injustice, the driving force most times is usually politics; when the politics in Abuja appears to favour a group, the group tends to sheath their swords.

HDee:
ohh God!! I don't know why you igbos like putting mouth in what's not your business... You're just too obstinate.. Pokenosing everywhere..

You know its the truth.

Please flash bank and remember the songs in the sixties: by late Hulbert Ogunde,Yoruba nronu, it is one of the plans of the fmr almighty senator---------------'s move to become the leader of Southwest and beyond, and without him bow and makes himself and Yoruba people slaves to a particular tribes or zones, he can not realise such ambition. This are the same people crying fowl about the activities of past administration. May God help us.

All these just proves Igbos are more open minded and Yoruba are inflexible ethnic bigots.

Must separation be through war?

Czechoslovakia needed no war to separate.

A referendum can sort it out.

In any case, our ancestors did not vote for one Nigeria in 1914.

If SW are so enamoured of 9ja, they should not threaten when things don't go the way of the elite.

How was SW going to secede as they threatened in 1990s? Through a moin-moin or non moin-moin war?

Handsomeemmy:
Azuka Couldn't have said it better, he hit the nail on the head, our silence in South west on issues that need our voices is unbecoming, in South West of yesteryears, we usually differentiate politics from the progress and development of the region but today it has become all about politics, people like Bola Ahmed Tinubu who I "respect" have gained unnecessarily relevance against the development that should be in The south west, I hate this silence that has become the Norms in my region.
People are suffering, the government is not doing enough, nepotism and Favoratism has been the order of the day for this regime yet my people chose to protest against what's happening between Remi Tinubu and Dino Melaye.

I thought every lives matters in Nigeria, especially in the south west, what do we chose to be use by the Core north to do their biddings and rape our women, destroy our farmland and killed the elderly and Children? And yet we are quiet, I know silence is golden but not this type of silence that lead to death and erode evrything humanity stands for.

We in the south west viz a viz need to have a rethink and chart another course while it is still day.

I believe in the continuous existence of One Nigeria but it must be restructured to better aid development and not one core section dictating for others how life should be lived.

Before you labelled me IPOD, I am a full Yoruba Man, and I am not ready to be like Esau.

Best wishes.

And the majority of Yorubas I know frowned at this Oba statements.
We all know how all Igbos are cheering Niger delta avenga.
Despite the fact that Buhari won in Yoruba lands, Jonthan was still able to pull a significant vote.

it was 55:45

Meaning Yorubas are not bigots, some of them still had the reason to vote for GEJ.

Thats yoruba for you. Thats reasoning and civility.

I hope Azuka gets to read this, I have a rejoinder to his infantile article. Yorubas are not silent, they are wise. Yorubas do not act just to prove a point, Yorubas act after due consultation and after well informed directives from their leaders, something most tribes lack in Nigeria. I think Azuka's concern is not that Yorubas are silent, no. His concern is that the Southwest is not boiling as other regions and that in spite of all things 'Nigerian', the region still thrives economically. How did you expect Yorubas to react to the unfortunate and senseless murder of the lady Evangelist? Go to Hausa communities in the state and kill Islamic clerics just to prove a point? Yorubas are more sensible than that...for the records Azuka, stop your patronising statement that you have written 'good' articles about the Southwest, Yorubas DO NOT need your validation. Focus your future articles on addressing the negative image drug peddlers and petty criminals from the Southeast are giving to the Igbo nation and Nigeria at large, and the fact that Igbo elders have been 'silent' and compromising in the face of protracted shameful acts by their 'children'. Live the Yoruba nation alone, she knows how to treat her illness...stop drinking alabukun for another man's headache.
