The above is the modus operandi of afonja...stoking division and death amongst others to ultimately project themselves upward. Till this day I believe Awolowo is responsible for the civil war that claimed millions of lives of Biaffrans, including thousands of northern soldiers. His two-faceness...telling Ojukwu one thing and telling Northerners another. When the war ended, guess what? Reconstruction started in the West to their benefit...not even in the North/Middle belt that fought and died foolishly for One Nigeria. Every tribe is now avoiding them like a leper...very deceitful people and wicked by nature!

Sometimes I laugh when people are talking about any alliance or whatsoever.

See, yorubas vote base on performance and not religious sentiments, ethnicity etc.
Many yorubas voted for Jonathan in 2011 not because of tinubu or anything but because we trusted Jonathan and he showed early signs that things will improve in Nigeria. But after winning the election, Jonathan went ahead to surround himself with corrupt elements that made his reign as President a complete disaster.

Don't forget that the same yorubas most igbos Now call cowards went to protest on behalf of Jonathan a fellow Southerner when the northern oligarchy wanted power to remain in the north at all cost. The likes of tinubu, Tunde bakare, wole Soyinka all protested the maltreatment of Jonathan while the so called igbos forming comrades to Jonathan today were no where to be found.

When we talk about alliances then we need to talk about igbo alliances with the North. .the first coalition government in Nigeria was formed by the igbos and Hausa Fulani. tafewa balewa was the Prime Minister while nnamdi azikwe was just a mere ceremonial president.

In 1979 and 1983 , despite the fact that igbos hated the northerners for what they did to their kinsmen in the north but that didn't stop them from voting a Hausa Fulani man shehu shagari.. In that same 1979 the UPN presented Awolowo and a candidate from anambra state. a southern alliance.


The so called alliance they said yorubas formed with the North in 2015 can't be said to be total. .because many people voted for Jonathan and the majority that voted for buhari did so because of Jonathan's failure.

The yorubas have always been an advocate of restructuring, despite being in opposition for some years I think we have achieved a lot than the "AGIP "region. Tinubu felt the south west could benefit more if we joined the government at the centre under a purposeful administration.

Now if we don't succeed in that, we simply re strategise and try other options.. That's what we call politics. That was what Awolowo tried to do also. When you lose you re-strategise.

It still doesn't stop the fact that south west is the most viable region in Nigeria in terms of social amenities and infrastructures.. .believe me I have been to other regions and i know why they all flock here in numbers.

Another thing is that south west holds the key to a lot of things, the northern oligarchy fears them most. We have always been opposing northern forces whereas our so called brothers from the east never had the guts to do so.. We have the highest number of activists and lawyers in Nigeria . We control the Nigerian press hereby influencing public opinion of everybody.

Believe me if yorubas want the igbos to have their biafra today they will get it because they can't do anything without us, even ojukwu needed our help.

And i can only guess the reason why many igbos hate yorubas today is because they have not been supporting their agitations. even though prof wole Soyinka recently supported them but this same people will abuse this man.. Especially when they start comparing a Nobel laureate to a chinua Achebe.

Am very sure the igbos calling yorubas Fulani slaves will vote the same Fulani come 2019 ,because your darling Party PDP have zoned the President slot to the north.

Now tell me who is the real slave here, is it the people that can't afford to stay in the opposition and build their own political force but instead will align with the same people they despise so much, same people they claim massacred them in 1967.

Please igbos stop worrying for yorubas coz the yorubas nation will always be fine.instead worry for yourselves.

Abeg anyone should form whatever alliance they wan form jare. Enough of yoruba this yoruba that. If u are not comfortable with yoruba building alliance with whatever group then go build ur own too na....

Perceptor:
Na wetin ah dey tell dem since be dat o...and dey no wan gree say na yorubas dey determine their destinies

Perceptor:
Bro., stop explaining to em. Come 2019, yorubas will still determine their destinies, yorubas will still vote for whom they think is d best choice. And they will continue wailing

Biafman:
Shut up, yorubas don't dertermine nothing for themselves. Your vote for PMB in 2015 was only 25% of his total votes which can never win anyone anything. The northerners only used you yorubas for propaganda purpose which you are good at, but the real vote that won them the presidency were from the north and MB and this is FACT.

omofunaab:
I wonder oooo, those guys don't know they have huge problems more than the yorubas but they are the ones crying here on nairaland on matters involving yorubas.

There's huge infrastructural decay in their region, worst than that of south west sef,
They don't have regional unity.
Those that are supposed to be their allies in south south are running away from them like plague, even though some them even share the same names with them but you will still wonder why they deny their identity of being igbo.

There was a time those people were celebrating flyovers Here on nairaland whereas in ogun state the people there are tired of flyovers already

All these frustrated Afonjas keep reeling out lies upon lies to attempt to deflect their unavoidable doom and gloom...

"Look at this coward...where did he come out from? Shattap there...have you vomited their oil you have been drinking for the past 50 yrs? An oil secured from the blood of over 3 million SE and SS people murdered in cold blood? Hypocrite and ingrate! Causing division between SE and SS for decades because of oil, now you are crying?  Let's divide this country peacefully, you guys refused because of greed...oil allocation, lagos huge allocation, duties and  taxes from Lagos ports and Airport....all to the detriment of SS and SE who drive hundreds of kilometers to Lagos to clear their goods and fly despite Calabar, Port Harcourt, Warri ports being closer to the ocean than Lagos ports, and Enugu, Oyo, Calabar, Port Harcourt, Asaba and Imo airports at their door steps. You think this wickedness will go unpunished? Chicken finally coming home to roast as Nnamdi Kanu said. Nnamdi Kanu warned about all these...that a time will come when SS will take the fight to SW in anger of the division you have caused between them and their SE brothers who have done absolutely nothing to them but show of love. Akpabio called you people last month Mercenaries...causing trouble left and right, up and down."
