Dear OP, the southerners had the opportunity to dominate under OBJ and GEJ. OBJ tried a little but still played into the hands of the north. I don't want to sound tribalistic but GEJ was worst. The southerners must elect a fearless and just nationalist when power rotates back to the south else forget southern unity.

kingzizzy:
Asking Igbos and Yorubas to unite is like asking oil and water to mix, not possible. The problem the OP has is that he is still trying to see Igbo/Yoruba from the context of 'Nigeria'

To understand why Yoruba and Igbo will never unite, one has to go back to when there was no Nigeria. What kind of people were Igbos and Yorubas?

History tells us that the Yorubas have never been able to exist alone. They once chased an empire from present day Nigeria to Togo. This 'empire creating' nature of Yorubas has never left them. Igbos on the other hand never had an empire and had no desire have one. The Igbo man is republican, egalitarian and very independent.

Unfortunately for Igbos, of the 3 main ethnic groups, Igbos are the only ones who are not empire creators and thats why Yorubas will continually unite with the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy of the North to undemine Igbos.

Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani are going to fight forever to keep the empire of Nigeria without caring about if the empire works of if Igbos want it.

Yorubas are no friends of us Igbos and we Igbos are fully aware of their antics. A people who threw away their right of self deternination to uphold the empire of Nigeria cannot be trusted

This is why Yorubas always fool themselves that Nigeria is a great country

Their empire building nature is influencing them

Even Awo jettison his secessionist dream due to this nature

You are a deep thinker to have identify this nature of them


You earn my respect as a deep thinker

The problem of southern unity lies with the Yorubas

They betrayed Igbos in 1967

They betrayed Southern minorities in 2015

MrMaestro:


Point of correction. The South-South has the majority of the oil reserves in this country, not the igbos.

But yes the southwest, specifically Lagos alone, controls the commercial sector of the economy, with 25% of Nigeria's GDP, that's without oil. And if ranked as a country it is the 5th largest economy in Africa. Not to mention being home to the tech startup hub in yaba And with Ogun attracting 75% of Nigeria's foreign direct investment, the southwest in totality seems to be on the rise. And yes, the Southwest controls the media. The only thing thing the Yorubas don't dominantly control is oil (but as you can tell the southwest doesn't really need to), and the political sphere (even though Yorubas greatly influence it through media). The Yorubas also dominate Nigeria's music and film industry.

So to recount, the Yorubas own the commercial capital of the country and the tech investment scene (Lagos), the investment capital of the country (Ogun), owns the media, owns majority of the movie industry, and owns the majority of the music industry. The only thing the Yorubas don't easily dominate is politics. But while everyone is focusing on politics, the Yorubas focused on what is important. The U.S. didn't become a powerhouse by having great diplomats or being political savants. Neither did any other superpower. They became a superpower by controlling the MONEY and the MEDIA. Washington may be the political center, but Wall Street and New York are the true rulers of the United States.

Now with that being said, the Yorubas don't need the igbos or any other tribe to achieve anything. The Yorubas have all the power to do it on alone and could control Nigeria if that was the goal. It's funny because the Yorubas have been the least hungry for that. But it's only a matter of time before Yorubas start exercising that power to control major aspects of this country, including politics. It will come naturally and with time. Power never goes unexercised, and the Yorubas are amassing significant power in this country, that's just a fact. The Oba of Lagos made a comment against the entire igbos, and not only did they do nothing, they still live and work and go to Lagos in droves. Because they have no other choice. That's the signifier of power. It only began with the Oba of Lagos. We'll see more of that in the future.

What is this one saying?

Sorry. I don't see that happening anytime soon.

We know those who come online to open silly threads about their hosts.

It's never going to work.

The prayer point of most indigenes of the southwest is that Biafra is granted or the Jews find their lost brethren and have them shipped back to Jerusalem. Whichever comes first.

No, we are not interested in any southern unity. It'll always be a mirage.

It's simple,..yorubas shd give igbos unalloyed support and solidarity for igbos to rule,dis will earn dem igbo trust. Because the problem here is yoruba betrayal over the years from 1966 to date!

Igbos have actually forgiven yoruba tracheary,by supporting obj to rule for atleast 8yrs under civil rule,..and have allowed yorubas and hausas to rule in peace during military era. Igbos too hav supported hausa fulani candidates atleast twice under civil rule viz shagari and yaradua rules.

The only logical/reasonable thing 2 do now is to gv igbos unwavering support 2 rule. By so doing,nigeria will not only be doin the only just thing,but will be giving itself an opportunity 2 be revamped and set on d road 2 greatness,since the great igbo tribe has been tested and found 2 possess that touch of midas!


Finally igbos don't hate yorubas,..they just not ready 2 be stabbed at the back again and again,..so they being quite cautious! The onus is on yorubas 2 redeem their image b4 the igbo race they have so actively schemed against for atleast 51years!

Sometimes when I hear the word " the yorubas stabbed the igbos at the back", am like how exactly because from your point of view, some of you twist the story to make it look as if it was a betrayal.

I agree igbos in a way have been sidelined for too long but somehow you guys are too rigid in political affairs. An indigene from SS region was an ex president was voted massively by SW in 2011 presidential election which he won. He lost 2015 election because of his shameless leadership and since then igbos have been crying wolf SW betrayed them (Is he an igbo?, you people are even crying more than the bereaved sef) but I can't say the fulani goro who won is working neither. It's just like the decision btw the devil and the deep blue sea.

By 2019 if igbos can field someone competent to rule, I will gallantly vote for him. I would have preferred rochas okorocha due to the fact that he is a political neutral man but he has not earned that respect enough as he is not living up to the task for imolites. Someone like obiano would make sense but I sense he maybe biased.

I just want good leadership in this country and I don't care wherever tribe he or she comes from.

And what makes you think that the Yorubas want to earn your trust? You guys are so full of yourselves to think the Yorubas give a hoot about you.

Mention just one instance of "Yoruba betrayal" of Igbos.

Igbos have actually forgiven yoruba tracheary,by supporting obj to rule for atleast 8yrs under civil rule,..and have allowed yorubas and hausas to rule in peace during military era. Igbos too hav supported hausa fulani candidates atleast twice under civil rule viz shagari and yaradua rules.

you have forgiven us? Awwwwnnnn... How generous of you. Is that why you've decided to keep coming to our abode for sustenance?

Please How did you allow the Yorubas to rule in peace during the military era? Do you even know what you are talking about?

The only logical/reasonable thing 2 do now is to gv igbos unwavering support 2 rule. By so doing,nigeria will not only be doin the only just thing,but will be giving itself an opportunity 2 be revamped and set on d road 2 greatness,since the great igbo tribe has been tested and found 2 possess that touch of midas!

The only support you'll get from the Yorubas is getting your Biafra and that's all. Well we could also help you pack your bags and luggage and probably give you transport fare when you get your country and decide to leave the southwest.

Finally igbos don't hate yorubas,..they just not ready 2 be stabbed at the back again and again,..so they being quite cautious! The onus is on yorubas 2 redeem their image b4 the igbo race they have so actively schemed against for atleast 51years!

I'm sure you are trying hard to believe what you have typed. In case you are delusional about Igbo's hatred for the Yorubas, take a stroll around the politics and culture sections of this forum.

If that isn't enough, go back to the east from whence you came and ask how many Yorubas have been able to buy land successfully.

Then search your heart for the unadulterated truth about How you truly feel about the Yorubas. Not that we give a sh1t anyway.

Mention one instance when the Yorubas stabbed you in the back

The Igbos should concentrate on redeeming their drug - battered, excessive money - loving, and crime-induced image, locally and internationally instead of waiting for an apology from the Yorubas that will never come, not in a trillion years

Divide the country so peple of North, West, East can go separate ways.

From now on yoruba is my friend

From now on yoruba is my friend but they should stop supporting hausa and fulani when dey kill us

Treachery is acceptable in Yoruba culture

These stories that your drunk grandfathers told you is the same thing that is destroying you fools and idiots. Yoruba betrayed Ibos. What a senseless statement from fools. Please who betrayed who when Nnamdi Azikiwe was ceremonial President while Tafawa Bello was Prime Minister while they two idiots kept Awolowo in Calabar Prison? Who betrayed who when Alex Ekweme was Vice to Shehu Sagari? Who betrayed who when Aikhiomu was Vice to IBB? Who betrayed who when the drunk ineffectual buffoon was Vice to Yar'Adua? I think your drunk grandfathers must be mad for telling you that Yorubas betrayed Ibos.

Politics my dear, is a game of numbers. The candidate with the highest NUMBER of votes wins.

For the avoidance of doubt, no single ethnic group can win the presidency of the country on the goodwill of her ethnography.

Judging from the geographic structure of Nigeria, you need at least ONE of the three major ethnic groups to sail.

Igbos, judging from past circumstances and the recent clamour for a new country, would naturally not align with the north. An Igbo / Yoruba alliance is frankly more likely to occur irrespective of political maneuvers.

[quote author=ElsonMorali post=55307253][/quote] igbos have forgiven yorubas for their betrayal of igbos and south in general from time immemorial!

Let me ask u a simple question,hav u ever voted an igbo candidate in ur life,like I have voted a yoruba candidate?

While d sense of guilt arising 4m dat question dawn devastatingly on u, may I chip dis in,daat it's only a hopeless fool dat keeps doin same tin over and over again (with different excuses,..in ur case,tribalism/ethnicism),then hoping for a different outcome.

Don't type this shit again. Yorubas will never ever align with children of hate and anger. Yorubas want one Nigeria, Ibos want Biafra where they can flourish in drug trafficking, fake drugs, rituals, armed robbery and all social vices. Yorubas will never align with Igbos.

Do not be under any illusion that Igbos have ever supported Yoruba candidate in any election. Ibos rejected the candidate of the Yorubas, Olu Falae and voted en mass for the Fulani cum military choice Obasanjo. In June 12 1993, Abiola lost the Ibo vote to Tofa a fulani man. In the struggle to chase away the military from power championed by Yorubas, over 95% of Ibo elites and politicians joined the military to fight Yoruba, collecting contracts, appointments and yearning for extended military rule, until Yoruba strategy worked at discrediting the military/Fulani/Ibo position and making rule by force untenable.

Unlike Yorubas who voted for Ibo candidate GEJ in the 2011 election, there's no record of Ibos interest ever converging with Yoruba. It appears whenever Yoruba takes a position on any matter Ibos become duty bound to oppose it as a duty. Even during the Jonathan conference, Ibos opposed state police championed by Yorubas years before the meeting. Today Ibos like everyone else now call on the Fulani led federal Police and Army to save them from Fulani herdsmen, how Ironic

At which meeting did Yorubas agree to vote back Jonathan in 2015 that was later renegade on? It's obvious low quality education makes people use words they lack understanding of its meaning. Was Jonathan not warned and he decided to call Yoruba bluff only to later come begging with dollars?

Kaduna Nzeogwu and Emmanuel Ifeajuna, first Nigerian coup plotters - Igbo men

Major General John Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi, Nigeria's second military head of state- Igbo man

Alex Ekwueme, former vice president of Nigeria - Igbo man.

Nwafor Orizu, former Senate president, (1963-1966) - Igbo man

Ameh Ebute, former Senate president elect (1993) -Igbo man

Evan Enwerem, former Senate president, (1999)- Igbo man

Chuba Okadigbo, former Senate president, (1999-2000)- Igbo man

Anyim Pius Anyim, former Senate president, (2000-2003)- Igbo man

Anyone voting in 1999 had no choice than to vote either Yoruba men as the only two candidates. The other option is to abstain.
At no time did Yoruba beg for Ibos votes because the candidate is Yoruba as Ibos now want to blackmail Yorubas to do for them.

You might forget but Yorubas remember that the process that led to two Yoruba men as sole contestants was vehemently resisted by Ibos elites by going to dance for Abacha and championing his conference.

Except you were a kid then the 1999 election effectively delivered power back to those who opposed democratic governance and sustained military rule and it was the candidate of this group that most Ibos supported. Did you know not that IBB who annulled 1993 election went to Obasanjo to Persuade his candidacy?

No Ibo candidate with a chance has ever presented himself to the public for election. The nearest is Pat Utomi who got my vote even though I knew he stood no chance. Ojukwu who wanted dismemberment of the country couldn't get my vote.

Why shd I waste mental energy on som1 who mischievously refers to goodluck jonathan an ijaw man 4m ssouth,as an igbo man.

Clear!

The fact is that the Igbo's are too uncultured, unpragmatic, emotionally unstable, cry babies and politically unsophisticated to be in any kind of alliance with the Yoruba's.


They lack hindsight and foresight, and are experts in blame shifting. They hate taking responsibility for their actions and inactions and would rather blame others for their inadequacies and limitations. They also aren't strategic thinkers and lack comprehension of the dynamism of Nigeria political system.
