And the idiot who wasted 3 million innocent souls and eloped wearing a jumpsuit, stilettos and Peruvian hair is a legend? The albino faking Dwayne Johnson for camera and rolling in potopoto begging for bail BTS is a mini-god? Tell us something new abeg.

When someone comes to a person's house and kills the person's son and the person did not even cough is a deliberate cowardice. There is a difference between "going to war" and self defense. How can a person joined a stranger who has just murdered his/her son and pointed to his/her neighbor as an enemy in prosecution of war against his/her very neighbor.

Is there anything of yours that Igbo actualization of Biafra would make you precipitate a war against them? Biafra will not include the land of Hausawa, Fulani or Yari.ba. One wonders where these drumbeats of war are sourced? Only fools dwell on the innuendos as indicated on the above post. I guess your forefathers were not in Biafra during Nigeria/Biafra civil war. I am quite sure you have never being in any war. One wonders why you feel the more pains of war than those involved. I guess cowardice knows no boundary.

when the "person" realizes that his impish "neighbour" (who previously had came to his house and murdered his son) has now gathered his fellow miscreants together and they are enroute to his house to appropriate it under the pretext that he's only going to dislodge the "stranger".
Re: " Yorùbá Is No Coward" -cardinal Olubunmi Okogie by deomelo:
At every point in time the Yoruba employees power of reasoning over emotion whilst some other nationals resort to emotion, intimidation, threat and outright force. Me think the approach of the Yoruba is the best in the circumstances. It is not cowardice to subject issues to empirical analysis before taking a decision. I am a Yoruba man, I am proud to be one and I would go for the Yoruba approach which is laced with loads and loads of native intelligence. We don't need to stand in front of a moving train just to prove bravery. It is the height of stupidity.
I don't care much for Afenifere, but I wholeheartedly subscribe to the above thinking.


Break up is inevitable sooner or later, but we don't have to turn our land into a war zone and have our gains and environment destroyed because of other people's empty and shallow chest beating or some silly games and scheming in the North.

As things stand right now in Nigeria, we are the most powerful and in a better position to successfully function as a stable, independent and wealthy Country ahead of the other regions.

Brute force, meaningless agitations, gaming and scheming like they do in the North and the SE has nothing to do with strength, it's nothing but a sad reflection of their own insecurities.

You cry every day, agitate every day and intimidate other people because you know you are in a precarious situation and you are not sure about your standing and future, but we are so why get in the middle of other people's madness?

Look at the North you are equating with strength and bravery, what have they gained with their decades of scheming and aggression?

They haven't gained anything while on the other hand, we still hold the cards. All the major sectors of the economy are under our control in our region?

How many investors are heading to the North or the SE or SS to invest? Almost none?

For decades till now, we have nearly all the industries, goods and services and nearly all the investments entering Nigeria today ends up in the SW, this is strength.

With the current arrangements in Nigeria, we hold cards across the board from industries to finance, insurance, media, ICT, entertainment, pop culture, innovation, infrastructure and so on.

Let other people carry on with their madness, we'll pull our cards when we are ready.


We don't need to stand in front of a moving train just to prove bravery. It is the height of stupidity.

Some of you igbos are so ignorant that it ain't even funny. Ilorin was never conquered in any battle. The city's inhabitants willingly accepted the emirate system in line with their strong Islamic affiliation. The city was never conquered nor subdued in any battle as you and your Ilk would like to paint and believe. Afonja had already lost the confidence of his ilorin Yoruba muslim brethren by the time the fallout between he and Alimi occurred.

In 1895, the Yoruba rose against the then emir, burnt his palace and killed him. But the revolt did not result in enthronement of a Yoruba king -- it certainly would have if those Yorubas that perpetrated this act were under bondage of emirate oppression and domination, as you like to paint it.

In 1913, when Lord Lugard administered the northern and southern Nigeria, Yorubas again spearheaded a riot over tax to bring the rulership of the then emir to ridicule.

In 1936, the Yorubas of ilorin yet again ousted Emir Abdulkadir who was banished to Kaduna but was later reinstated by the colonial administration.

For all intents and purposes, the emirate is a mere traditional institution that exists only because ilorin Yorubas (not even the entire Kwara folks sef) still chose for it to remain, as the above history shows. You people just talk crap about what you know little to nothing about.
Just leave them and let them dwell in their ignorance. I once confronted one of them not long ago and I asked him to name one area of the same Ilorin he apparently know of as a Northern enclave, and he couldn't name one single area in Ilorin.

I know of the events you cited there. In Ilorin, the traditional Yoruba chieftancy are still present and maintains some sort of influence.
In 1935 for example, the balogun and other notable chiefs in Ilorin boycotted the emir's palace.

If it wasn't for the British involvement, the emirate system would have been abolished long time ago. The British were known for removing emirs and installing puppet emirs who will do their bidding. Ilorin was no exception this. Many who carry Ilorin issue over their head don't really know the history of that town nor stepped foot there ever in their lives. They don't even know that there are more Nupes in Ilorin than Fulanis they keep shouting over. Ilorin is just like any other town in the Sw. There are probably towns in Oyo state and the SW in general that are more Islamic than Ilorin. You should have seen how the emir received the Ooni just days ago.

I stopped reading the article where he mentioned that they stopped the advance of the Fulanis.

Why didn't they retake Ilorin?
A Catholic Cardinal could not be this divisive. I doubt he wrote this. Besides, he is an Esan man from Edo State. Mischief makers wrote this.

So Olusola, Gbemisola and Olubukola are Fulani names bet why? Brother bet why?
Their mother is an Ondo woman, but their father is a Fulani man. So, they're Fulanis. Fulanis call d shots in Kwara State, whether u like it or not. Besides, i doubt Cardinal Okogie wrote this, cos he's an Edo man while his mother hailed from Yoruba. I doubt d authenticity of this information any way.

Their Father is Olusola Saraki from Oyo. Saraki is a Yoruba name. Please don't twist it. Abacha was from Chad but claims Kano The fact that they twisted their heritage to consolidate Power doesn't change their heritage. I really don't know where Bunmi Okogie hail from.

Anybody who called this jackass man of God is a fool. There is no connection between cowardice and negotiation. When a son of the soil is killed in his father's compound, yet his kinsmen provided his killers with the comfort of his sisters. What else could be cowardice if not this demeanor? At least, Ojukwu and eastern region exhausted every avenue of negotiation including Aburi, Ghana yet to no avail. Ndigbo will fight when pushed to the wall.

My advice to this set of ibo youths is caution

The fastest way the ibos can self-destruct is to really push Yorubas to the wall
That is when they will experience the real politics of marginalization they've been bitching and whining about all this while
You baby factory piglets come online everyday with your empty skulls to say things your father's don't even understand

Yoruba are still cowards, let the agitate for Yoruba nation and make their-self great like Japanese,Biafrans, Germans etc, when you are afraid to face responsibilities,confronts issues and call a spade a spade then you are nothing but a coward.
Yoruba did not send Jonathan packing but the north did, when you hide from the truth and always play the game of double standard and always sit on the fence waiting for the winner to emerge then I can that the person is an unmitigated coward and has no future.
Hehehe, Saki nse bi ora. Who made imaginary biafra great. If they are calling all animals with horn, so na the type of imaginary biafra snail dem dey talk. Great my ass
