You sound pained by the man's comments.

The truth is that yorubas cannot leave Nigeria if the north and Igbos say they must stay.
This is true. Yorubas can sometimes overrate their importance. I laugh when some Yorubas say "If we wanted to secede it would be easy for us". How do they think they can do that? The only people who can determine Yoruba indepedence is Igbos. Yorubas cannot survive a combined Igbo/Hausa onslaught, they will be overrun in less than 3 months. This not the Biafran war that lasted 3 years because of toughness of the Igbos. Yorubas are yet to witness Air raids, shelling, Morters and bombs going off. The only saving grace is that the Yorubas know that Igbos are unlikely to join any fight to save "one Nigeria".

As for Mr Yakassai, he need not have bothered with the interview. Yorubas cannot push Igbos to do anything they don't want to. He was right what he said:


“Before the civil war started, the Yorubas said if Igbos are allowed to go, they too will go on the secession declaration.
“It was Chief Awolowo who said it openly and publicly; it was published in newspapers. He was the one that was sent by Gowon to talk to Odumegwu Ojukwu in the eve of the secession declaration not to secede.



“The place Igbos left were occupied by Yoruba, particularly the civil service. “Till today the Yoruba are the dominant elements in the bureaucracy of Nigeria. The Igbos lost that position almost forever. At that time the Igbos were in business; they were the leading elements in business. Now the Igbos are back again. Today they are the leading people in business. They have come back and have taken over trades and manufacturing industry.





I think the Igbos have already proved their worth by bouncing back in Nigeria and if there was any time Igbos were politically aware, it is now. The proof is the outright rejection of the ruling APC in Igbo land. Igbos will determine their future and it won't be at the instigation of Yorubas or Hausas.

Oga stop diverting from the issue, if you want to know how Nigerian Army values Yorubas you can test it by declaring oduduwa republic, then we can continue from there.
Do you think Yorubas are as brainless as you lot, you think the journey into nationhood is just by one riff-raft getting up from the wrong side of his bed to form a radio station and be lying to people he can help them declare Biafra?
You all need thorough head examination in that part of the country. grin grin

We have always warned the Igbo's that biafra or restructuring is not what they need to move forward, but will they ever listen? These are golden words from elder stateman like yakassai advicing the Igbo's to stop been political pawns in the hands of every region. Yorubas own the key to one Nigeria and it's disintegration. We will not let Igbo's go anywhere. One Nigeria is what Zik and Ironsi preached, one Nigeria we shall remain sad
To all Yorubas on nairaland, if this guy is indeed Yoruba then it is such a shame. embarassed embarassed

We were involved in a war where battle lines were defined and we took casualties and you said we were used for shooting practice and went on and on how Nigeria values Yorubas so I put it to you once again, declare your oduduwa republic like the Igbos did and see whether tanks will not begin to drive towards yorubaland then you will know how much you are valued, simple.

In third world Nigeria, the quest for self determination is interpreted as suicide.

Marriage must continue by force or you die.
well that maybe true if you just jump into the whirlpool without basic stratagems, forming allies within and without will go a long way to help secession, not cussing any tribe that you feel does not share the same idea as yours

Sharappppp!
Which war did you fight in 1996? grin
Y'all think the only way to secede from a country is going to war? Yoruba will not shoot a single bullet to dismember this country if they need to. cool
Tell them.
By the way, I think it is about time we did so.

My point is that the Yorubas overrate themslves simply because they queued behind the north to hand over the presidency to them.

All I want to point out is that if the north can take any region in the south, they win it, so why are Yorubas feeling as shough they did something so extraordinary because Buhari is president today?

Secondly, your brother said that Igbos were killed during the war and that Yorubas are valued by the Nigerian army so I challneged him to get Yorubas to declare their soverign country like the Igbos did so that we can know how much the Nigerian Army values Yorubas abi no be so?

Can you please keep quiet? which war? you were not in war with Nigeria, if you were in war, Nigeria would not be feeding you for almost three years.
What simply happened was that you killed other Nigerians, they decided to kill you back, you ran to your enclaves and they chased you down to your enclaves to continue.
You simply got served! cool

ZeroTolerance:
Just look at the comments above, I don't know why some people enjoy deceiving themselves. Yorubas hold the key to dissolve Nigeria? That is because Igbos already want Biafra and Yorubas joining the clamour for disintegration will be 2 major ethnic groups against one, it's that simple. Imagine Igbos and Hausas insisting on one Nigeria, can Yorubas alone disintegrate the country? Stop the sophisticated self deceit.
...They are becoming more and more delusional its not even funny anymore.So loud and noisy with little substance.

..I gave up on them after Dino returned Remi's insult.They threatned and almost drowned us with noise,they barred him from Sw,and staged useless protests

.After he called their bluff,gave them the middle finger and stormed Lagos.They turned round to call him childish and there-after Tinubu declared forgiveness for Dino(even though he never asked for any) claiming christianity...na so the matter end.


..Now according to them,they single-handedly hold the ace to Nigeria's well-being and unity..with no single contribution from the north,SE and SS apparantly..funny folks.

“Before the civil war started, the Yorubas said if Igbos are allowed to go, they too will go on the secession declaration.
I think something is wrong with these yebroes,awolowo said if they are allowed to go, did Nigeria government allow yebroes go,how did that statement made Yorubas betrayers?
“The place Igbos left were occupied by Yoruba, particularly the civil service. “Till today the Yoruba are the dominant elements in the bureaucracy of Nigeria.
The same yebroes that joined forces with the north to frustrate Yorubas in the first republic,they both worked out ways to refuse Yoruba people employment in the civil service,filling their yebroes brothers into office are now complaining of being shortchanged,whatever yeebos are facing in present day Nigeria it was a result of their wanton greed.

You must be a kid.

Go and read about the various battles that were fought and the ding dong before the war came to an end.

Nigeria came to meet us because we declared a soverign nation of Biafra and they felt marriage must be by force.

If you want to know whether Yorubas will get served or not declare your soverign oduduwa and see, simple.

You are just deceiving yourself and delusional.

The north only needs a region in the south to win and the Yoruba supported them simple and short.

What will befall the north?

If Yorubas misbehave the north will simply switch to the east and pick another region and the win again!

Then you will know how 'relevant' you are.

We saw how 'relevant' Yoruba is when you all voted for Falae massively yet he failed.

That is how 'relevant' any region can be standing alone and the Yorubas are not exempted.
