Not just Oil, obsessed about Nigeria. The one thing that I will never understand about Yorubas is that they were a people who were self Governing, had the Oyo Empire, had an Army led by the Aare Onakakanfo, had a central Government and a rich cultural history long before there was anything called 'Nigeria'. Today, the same people don't know anything except "Nigeria Forever". Some day, I hope someone can explain to me exactly what Lord Lugard did to them.

Do you mean a tribe in Nigeria now control resource like Oil? Even if oil is in Ondo and Lagos, its in Nigeria, and it belongs to FG and Not Yoruba.
Oil found in Niger Delta belong to Nigeria, so pack well bro

OP, I believe you wanted to say "we SE and SE".

My own question is why are Igbos always craving for anarchy, and why are they always jubilant at any news of crisis or turmoil in other parts of Nigeria?


Million dollar question..

Igbos don't want to be part of your one Nigeria. ..haven't you notice that? I think you start championing a Nigeria devoid of Igbos so you can enjoy your peaceful one Nigeria







1. Zik/obo man wanted and supported amalgamation and alliance with the North to formulate Nigeria as country and federation.


2. Aguiyi Ironsi/ibo man and as the head of state promulgated Decree Number 34 of 1966 that abolished regional administration, formally joined us together and replaced it with the absurdity and federal center we have today.


3. Our problems since day one starting from Zik's/ibo alliance with the North to form Nigeria to the first coup and blood shed in Nigeria to Aguiyi Ironsi/ibo man terminating regional administration was engineered by the your SE people and leadership.


Learn from your own history and recognize the evil participation and atrocities perpetrated by the shortsighted leaders who in one breath wanted Nigeria and then derailed Nigeria and set Nigerian on a dangerous path..

Ibo is the reason why we have one Nigeria today...

You reap what you sow.... Live with it..

It is quite amusing that the same tribe that wanted a Nigeria and a unitary system of government with them as the leading class, now detest Nigeria and the unitary system having found themselves as perpetual followers.

No wonder the Igbos have refused to complete the resting place of Azikiwe, 20yrs after his death.

Ibos and their Yoruba and oil obsession. Shiooor.

ND are smart enough to know that Ibos own as much oil block as Yorubas.

No one us secured by the Ibo greed.

[size=15pt]GREED is what it is called.

Everyone wants to pollute Niger Delta and steal its oil.

If north finds oil today, will it give up 87% of it so that southern states will get a lion share of it?

Food for thought.[/size]

Ofcourse they will unlike the east, the north is far more politically advanced than any region in this country. They think hard, slow and far.

Why you think, they far so well in politics. You thinks its only about the numbers. Bro, its a sound strategy - that is constantly changing.

The north supported, Obasanjo and GEJ, if you ask me it's enough reason to believe that the north is willing to share power.

The north will share it's wealth because it will show the world that they do not only contribute in agriculture but oil as well. This move will make the east look like the real parasites and guarantee one nigeria for another generation .

1; Yoruba dominate well-paying oil jobs in Nigeria and don't want to give up.

2; Lots of the oil companies are headquartered in Lagos.

3; Refer to Osun state where a mini religious war is already raging among Yoruba Muslims, Christians and Atheists. Each of these groups were Islamic hijab, Christian choir robes and masquerade attires respectively to school.

Deep division between Yoruba Muslims, Christians and Atheists is one of the reasons why Yoruba depend only on one Nigeria to save Yoruba people from possible religious wars.

Since there seems to be more Muslims among Yorubas than Christians and Atheists put together , the Muslim Yoruba dominates the politics of Yorubaland.

Thus the Christian political class in Yoruba land are often ridiculed by most Yoruba, more so, since the last sixteen years when the Muslim Yorubas have led the Yoruba in politics with increasing Islamization of Yoruba population, with result that Yoruba majority look forward to Sokoto for directions.

Abi o jare!!! Now that the hunter has become the hunted, they suddenly develop an aversion to the same One Nigeria they championed in the 50's, screaming "we Ss/Se" want out of this Union. One would think they are Siamese twins.
