In other words, the only way Nigeria can have peace would be for Yorubas to play the mumu, while Igbos would be allowed to perpetually rule the rest of us because they feel Chukwu Okike Obiama has created them to be superior and better than everybody else and therefore should remain in the driver's seat, afterall they 'merit' it. Of course the Hausa-Fulanis won't allow or have any of that because of their own 'born-to-rule' tendencies. Meaning that, even if Yorubas willingly choose to play the mumu role, Hausa and Igbos will continue to remain at each other's throat as they currently are because Igbos will claim they deserve every position based on 'merit' since they are 'superior' and better than anyone else anyway, while the abo.kis who feel that Nigeria is 'Allah's gift' to them would never permit that.

Why not just break up this country so that everybody will be a king in his father's house or compound? That way the igboman can restrict his 'superiority' to his domain, the Hausa-Fulani can claim his Northern country as his 'Allah's gift', and the Yorubaman would finally be free to live his life and develop in peace

Ngokafor:
Stop calling Igbo in the drivel you call post....We are not the cause of your agonies..Face the hausaman who view you lots as problematic and leave us out of your rubbish speech.... Your irelevant rants about how Igbos migrate and all is simply trashy because Nigeria forced Igbos back in her old..No one is begging you for jack..What you are whinning about us the consequences of 'one Nigeria' so deal with it.

Walk the talk and start planning for your own country..You have been told times without number to do so..but you always chicken out and rather run after IPOB like your lives depend on it....Enough with the empty speeches and do the needful already.

izombie:
nne the thing tire me o. Balarabe musa, an hausa man just trash talked the yorubas in this interview but the yorubas have chosen to attack igbos for nothing. I just don't understand.

Ngokafor:
My dear the foolishness and irresponsibility of these cowardly sissies are second to none...Pray tell how Igbos became the focal point for these empty air-heads...Weird indeed.

A thread for all-time and ever crying igbo people to masturbate on


Southwest is too smart and sophisticated oooo.Every tribes think their problem is the fact that southwest outsmart them.


However,this balarebe musa rants is full of hypocrisy,lies,hate,illogicality and lack of direction.

victorDanladi:
No,its not about igbo.Its about northerners,westerners and Ghanaians.
Can Igbo save themselves talkless of saving others

shallysgirl:
Yorubas can't save themselves for crying out loud. At the sound of knockout, they scram.

victorDanladi:
Just like ojukwu,nnamdi kanu and iPOBs

shallysgirl:
At least they didn't gulp ratak like awoolloowoo the otapiapia gulper.
Buhari recently made reference to late Ojukwu,he has also been writing letters up-and-down over Kanu,sending emissaries....northern govs, having amajiris dress up like Igbos...
He had better release his corpse to his family.

victorDanladi:
in igbo oral myth and tales by moon light.

Peak up any good book of Nigeria history.They will tell you ojukwu ran away from war.


Only recently I heard from one igbo man that ojukwu actually died of HIV/AIDs.

ODVanguard:
It's really a pity, I tell you. Other Nigerians can't turn to wanderers like Igbos just for the sake of it, coz there's a critical economic-based reason why ibo people choose to leave their region en-masse. Igbos have shown/demonstrated little confidence in the economic viability of Igboland, yet they and the likes of Balarabe expect others to emigrate there en-masse as a criteria of their 'One Nigeria' patriotism? To do what exactly? It's not done! That place isn't economically viable. Not only Yorubas but most other ethnicities (including the igbos that chose to emigrate en-masse) avoid the region for the same reason. We need to quit deceiving ourselves abeg.

victorDanladi:
Yeah,a patient.

he and ojukwu once met at HIV/AIDs clinic where the doctor was complaining that Ojukwu was non compliant with his drug before his death!

Basic123:
But the North has not supported the Igbo to produce
the president in spite of all you have said?
It’s because of the conspiracy between the Northern
ruling class and the South-Western ruling class
because by number, by resources, they are more
powerful than the East and they always prevent it.
For example, let me tell you and I’m being frank
with you; publish it. The first tragedy that can strike
a feudal Northerner is to have an Igbo president.
And in the case of the Yoruba, it’s more than a
tragedy to have Igbo president.


Let us look at IPOB, the way they are agitating, are
they not looking for another war?


Well, I don’t even think they know the consequences
of what they are doing. It’s just like the Igbo people,
who because there was competition between them
and the rest of the country in which they were
losing out publicly, took a kind of rash decision, a
kind of adventure that caused the 1966 coup. If they
had thought very well, they wouldn’t have done so.
But they did it. Now they have created people like
IPOB who are adventurous and as I told you, you can
talk to a Northerner about something. You can talk
to a Westerner and he will listen to you because he
has this inhibition. The Igbo man has no inhibition.
For instance, anybody, once he acquires some
wealth in the East, he is something. Even education
is secondary. But in the North and the West, you
won’t have wealth if you don’t belong to the
tradition. If you don’t belong to Islam, you don’t
belong to Christianity, you are nothing. Go to any
palace and you will find the same thing. So, we in
the North and the West have inhibition, which stops
us from doing even the right thing and at the same
time, from doing the wrong thing. But in the case of
the Igbo, he is a free agent. He does what he thinks,
whether rational or irrational.
So, that 1966 coup was not just a fight at all?
No, it was not just a fight. It was an adventure by
the Igbo man who felt that he had arrived, why be
restrained by the inhibition of the Northerner and the
Westerner? What is good for Nigeria, let’s have it.
Change leadership at any price. Now, the Northerner
and the Westerner have inhibition. He will not go to
this rashly. For instance, if he is a Northerner, he
goes to the mosque or to the Imam or Emir or
somewhere. If he is a Westerner, the same thing; he
will go to something, the Oba or somewhere. The
Igbo will not. That’s how they did it with the 1966
adventure. This IPOB knows the reality that they are
the products of that youthful adventure. You can see
almost every other Igbo group has rejected them.
But it’s still there.


If you look at that coup and the civil war, do you
think they were avoidable then?


The civil war was avoidable. The Igbos planned it.
They made a mistake. They were betrayed, in fact,
by the South-West because the South-West
intellectual bourgeoisie at that time was part and
parcel of the conspiracy to get rid of the feudalism,
the domination of the North. The Yoruba were part
and parcel of that conspiracy. But the Igbo, either
because they realised it is too late or simply
because that is the nature of people in politics, still
went ahead. Remember what happened, when the
killing recently came, did the Igbo take part? Now
this time with IPOB, it is the same adventure. They
also rely on the conspiracy of the South-West. For
instance, in the Northern part, the Igbo are
disowning IPOB with vigour. But is the South-West
doing the same thing with the same vigour? They
are calculating what they will gain from the quarrel
between the North and the East.


Let us look at our political structure since
independence. Why have we not gotten it right?


The system, the structure, economic and political
system controlling all development in the country
and the political leadership inevitably produced by
the system are based on self-interest first, public
interest second. Nigeria from the beginning till today
was based on the basis of self-interest first and
public interest second. So, how can it succeed?
At what point did we miss it? Was it that coup?
Nigeria inherited the system from western countries.
We got it wrong when we became independent. We
didn’t look at this method seriously and come out
with something that can unite the country and
develop the country. Some people were concerned
about this, they saw it, but because money power
had taken over even at that time. For instance,
Awolowo, even though he was a Yoruba champion,
had campaigned against disunity. He campaigned
for equal right and he demonstrated it by bringing
the Yoruba up to standard. Without the Yoruba
having Awolowo, would they have reached the
position they have reached now in terms of
education and development? Awolowo, right from
the beginning, brought about free education. In
those days, he was competing with the East,
because until the 1966 coup, the East was leading in
educational development. The Igbos, were leading
everywhere. When Awolowo came, he began free
and quality education to bring Yoruba, to the level,
which he succeeded.


This issue of restructuring, why are the Northerners,
apart from only a handful, against it?


Atiku said something which I agree with. He said
Northerners, and in this instance, he is talking about
the elite in the North, are against restructuring
because they are lazy. I agree with Atiku. Let me
tell you, we are now talking about North and South.
We are now talking about the three Northern zones
and the three Southern zones. We are now talking
about them, North and South, isn’t it? Now, if you
take the North and the South separately, who has
more God’s favour in everything than the other?
When you take every other thing that matters into
consideration, God has favoured the North with more
than he has favoured others. Take for example, the
North has been cooperating for virtually 1,000 years.
Take any tribe like the Jukun; they have related with
the North for about 1,000 years or more. In the case
of the South, is there any society that has related
with the South for more than 200 to 300 years? Oyo
Empire has done the same but on a very small
scale. In the case of the East, there was nothing like
that except the Onitsha people. In the case of the
South, they have related with one another, known
one another only when the British came, that is 100
years ago. In the case of the North, for 1,000 years,
they have lived together. Now, who has the favour of
God to know how to live with one another than they?
Are the Northerners demonstrating this ideal of
living with one another peacefully? The North has
been together for over 1,000 years. The South has
not had that benefit. The South had very small
communities, not even up to a ward, until today. The
ones that went beyond that was the Oyo Empire and
the Oyo Empire was riddled all the time with wars.
What about the East? Nothing like that, because they
have always been Republican right from time. So,
who has God’s favour how to live with others better
than Northerners? Are they demonstrating this
whatsoever? Let us take size or territory. The North
is three quarters of Nigeria in terms of territory. The
South is only one quarter. Is that not a favour? In
those three quarters, they are bestowed with God’s
favour with agriculture and other natural resources.
Three quarters of the natural resources are in the
North. Are they developing them? No. But they have
this advantage of territory. When you take into
account the economic resources of Nigeria, even
with oil, it’s in the North. Three quarters of it is in
the North. Is that not a favour? Now, when you have
people who have been this favoured by God and
they become the problem of the society, who do you
blame? You blame them. If you want answers, first
blame the Northerner for having not benefited from
this God’s favour. You have larger territory, you have
long history of coexistence, you have more
economic resources.
When you come to political power, the North has
been in control of political power itself. Who can
win the presidency without the North? You Yoruba
never wanted [Olusegun] Obasanjo to be president,
but the North wanted him and he won. The North
has this power. So, if things go wrong in Nigeria,
who do you blame first other than the one that has
all these favours of God? You blame the North first
and the others.
So, what Atiku said was true. The Northern ruling
class doesn’t want this to be outside. He doesn’t
want to lose this favour by doing something
concrete. He wants to retain the favour just for that
without fighting for it. So, the solution is don’t talk
about the North or South. Don’t talk about the
Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo. Talk about the dignity of the
human being. Build systems based on the dignity of
the human being and you will succeed and that is
what is possible only through a constitutional
revolution or a social revolution. Let us Nigerians
take the one we want.


Last week made it the 57th celebration of
independence of the country and some people argue
that independence has not really given Nigeria what
it is looking for. Do we still continue to celebrate
independence?


We have nothing worth celebrating. This
independence was the result of the work of the
colonial masters. Why don’t we create something as
a result of our own indigenous work? We attempted
it but destroyed it. For instance, the election of
Abiola was the most significant step freely taken by
Nigerians to subordinate all other irrelevant
considerations, and go for the best consideration.
Let people be empowered to elect who they want
and that was what was done June 12. But we
bastardised it by annulling it, annulment by a
military dictator and allowing him to get away with
it. Up till now he is still alive and is still claiming to
be relevant, but we can’t force him to tell us what
was behind this annulment.


Any hope for Nigeria?


There is no hope. As I said, if you talking about
political power, no hope. There is no political power
that can perform.


What of at the economic front?


The same thing. Nothing will change from PDP
which was bad to APC which is worse. For instance,
the fascism of APC is not so arrogant. We may one
day end up with an arrogant APC or arrogant party
which will even be more fascist than we suspect it
can be. Now why is this? Because the basis for
deciding how to get the right type of person has
been destroyed by the role of money power. Money
power plays leading role in politics and election in
Nigeria. You cannot have a President in Nigeria as it
is today or even a Local Government Councillor who
is not a thief or is being supported by thieves. For
instance, you are above 40, how can you be
President of Nigeria in spite of your knowledge
without money? And this money that you can easily
come about is money that is got through either
stealing or made available by a thief who is hoping
to recoup. So, as long as you cannot have a clean
system producing a clean leadership, how can you
get away from the problem? You can’t?
What message do you have for Nigeria at 57?
With the system as it is, which is controlling all
development and the type of leadership we have, if
it continues and presently there is no evidence that
it will not continue, we will have the same thing as
we have been having in 2019. Then there is no
possibility, of a fundamental change. There is
nothing to show hope in the next presidency
because we will continue to have a situation where
money power is the deciding factor in politics and
election. Unlike during the Second Republic and
sometime even after the Second Republic, when we
were to have an election, we could say out of the
candidates aspiring to be president of Nigeria, this
candidate is better than that. We are now in 2017.
Can we say that? For instance, the person who is
now the president, with whom we are not satisfied
with, we don’t think he is performing. He is not
correcting anything that went wrong. But from all
honesty, can we say those who are now waiting to
take over from him in 2019 are better, anyone of
them? You know those that are being speculated. As
bad as he may be now, there is nobody that you can
say categorically that is better than him. So, Nigeria
is in trouble.

ODVanguard:
Sorry but I do not share your optimism. This Musa man was talking a whole lot of crap. Where was Balarabe Musa when Igbos were in alliance with the Northerners (or when they were in virtual control of GEJ's administration) while mainstream Yorubas were in opposition? All of a sudden now Yoruba people are now the problem?? It's the 'One Nigeria' Yoruba advocates that I pity coz no matter what they do, the igbos and Northerners will still doubt their commitment to 'One Nigeria' -- even though they once fought and spilled their blood to keep the country together, Igbos will continue to view them as 'traitors' while the North will also perpetually view them with suspicion (like this Balarabe Musa man just exhibited).

During the last Independence day celebrations, which other set of Nigerians openly showed more One Nigeria 'patriotism' than Yorubas? Which other region is the least hostile to non-indigenes from all-across, sells land to them, open up their markets to them, while creating an enabling environment for them to thrive and prosper in Nigeria than Yorubaland? Igbos have shown their willingness to dismember Nigeria not once but twice (Biafra 1.0 and the recent 2.0), yet to Balarabe Yorubas are the problem??

Yorubas had better start planning for a post-Nigeria future coz it's inevitable. We are better off respecting each other's bounderies, trading and living in peace as neighbours (as we have been doing with Togo, Benin and Ghana) and as separate countries than this current 'One Nigeria' setup/arrangement.

AfonjaConehead:
meanwhile

bonnylight003:
so, is more than a tragedy to a yoruba man for an igbo to be president.

this is very very deep.. explain more on Gej presidency..

explain the real reason for the hatred for IPOB..

explain the real fears of the average yoruba man. be it Christian or muslims..

this guys fear are too real..

the hate igbos.. they see them as adversaries that must be eliminated..

explain why Awo told his inner cliQ that it will take another 100years for an igbo man to rule this country... IBB shut him immediately.. not quite long positioned ukiwe as Vp.. while the old fool drank his rat tea.

don't care how awusa hate or love igbos... they're real about it..

but Afonjas..
they hate you.. even in dia churches they hate igbos..they just hate seeing you around..they believe you've come to take dia position..

andif you no quick understand yoruba your own is gone in office or space.

so funny.. anytime this Awusa elders repeat this honest truth...
instead of an average Afonja.. to challenge this guys with fact and all dia noise..

they will quickly occupy the social media to rant against igbos.. eh.. while exonerating their masters.

those guys are real slaves.. with no shame.. proud slaves

so pity igbos are taking over everything gradually.. from 20pounds.

soon..the take over wil be completed. and a particular tribe will shout "regionalism " or federation " then we will all remind them..

"the nation is non negotiable"

then their worst fears will turn real..right before them.

if you cook for world..it might not be enough..
but. if the world cook for you..
believe you will need extra belle trucks to stuck it..

Afonjas has done that and more..
but there day of reckon is almost close.. and they know.

there propaganda will definitely backfire woskisly against them.
