Alcatraz005:


God bless you. These people from the SE don’t know what damage they have done to their relationship with Yorubasfor the past 6 years. I was in law school in the east and Yorubas(very young people oo) formed a knitted clique to protect themselves in enemy territory This was at the height of chinua achebe’s “There was a country”. A lot of things were destroyed by the igbos during and after the Jonathan years.

The result is that over Nigerians are afraid of allowing the igbos rule Nigeria. How sad.

OfficialAwol:
My greatest concern is that we the youth are toeing the tribal lines treated by our fathers. Something we are supposed to be dropping.

If it continues like this, then Nigeria's chance of growth is bleak.

Fineman87:


So now that your region removed Jonathen, yorubas are everywhere ehn. I see how yorubas now control Nigeria. By being sidelined in the govt they midwifed.

This stupid reasoning is the bane of the yorubaman. Reality will dawn upon you when apc holds their convention. Only then will you understand what the yorubas have been reduced to. Wait and see.

Guestlander:


The idea is not for Yoruba to control Nigeria, that is not how we think. Rather, the idea is for anyone who will lead Nigeria to create a more balanced and just country.

Obasanjo brought in Okonjo Iweala, Charles Soludo, Obi Ezekwezili and a host of other ibos.
He also brought in northerners and Yoruba alike, he did not saturate his government with only Yoruba.
Forget about hypothetical scenarios and let us wait and see like you said.

Fineman87:


So Buhari has created a "more balanced and just" country. And your life has improved ehn.

If so, why do yolibats want to return to pdp. You people ehn. I spit...

Lloydfather:
Op God Bless ur soul for this ur wonderful and edifying epistle, I know for sure that the descendant of falling angels will commit mass suicide after reading this, because they hate truth and dwells in lies and deceit.

I Will love to read more of this from u.

If I had the power I will make u one of the nairaland mod. We need people like u, who have sence of reasoning.

#seun. Pls take note




I see every other comments coming from the ewedu region as the picture below.

Guestlander:


Who are the are the Yorubas returning to the PDP? Buhari's record is a thousand times better than that of Jonathan who made militants the custodians of our waterways and pipelines. Better than Jonathan who elevated cronyism and bare faced corruption to an art.
PDP is a party of thieves.

Fineman87:


Sorry for your life. I wont engage a narrow minded yoruba.

Yes. Militants protect the pipelines. So what? Are they yoliba pipelines? The pipelinez that runs from militants village, whom do you expect to protect it? Nonsense.

And buhari is fighting corruption abi. Dont even provoke me.

You have no idea what awaits awaits yoliba in Nigerias political space. I pity you.

UfuomaUN:


Delusion

manutdrichie:


Mttcheeeew... as if you voted for Obj in 1999

Onijagidijagan:

As if una vote for APP Ojukwu in 1999. Keep looking for Yoruba, ijaw, awusa, fulani's ass to lick everytime

First and foremost, let it shock you that it was a perfect plan by una Fulani master and it worked.

Secondly, same party that lost in 1999 has articulate with other smaller parties to be the ruling part.

Olu falae was d better candidate that would defeat every other candidates on realizing that, the Hausa's I.e d legit owner of PDP raised OBJ d only one that can opposed him. Ojukwu was not even a candidate to them.

jomonic:


Jonathan tried to create balance in appointments. I am sure you want all of Nigeria given to you guys on a platter.

Fineman87:


So Buhari has created a "more balanced and just" country. And your life has improved ehn.

jomonic:


There is something called live and let live. It is also called accommodation of other people. Don't you guys want others to survive. In Nigeria there are over 250 ethnic groups and you still think only of your own group. This is sickness and one that is difficult to cure. I will discuss less of these topics on Nairaland because many Yorubas i meet on the road reason impartially. I think this forum is a gathering of likeminded ethnic oriented people irrespective of origin. I am in my last days here.

Guestlander:


What the hell is eating you up? The pipelines belongs to all Nigerians.
Why do we have the police and the military?

BankeSmalls:
I think Nigeria will remain a comatose nation for a very long time with the kind of mentally challenged populace we have. Playing tribal amala politics while they are losing their shirts in every sector.

Fineman87:


Oil pipelines belong to all Nigerians but Lagos, a beneficiary of the pipelines, belong to yolibats.

When Lagos belongs to Nigerians, then the pipelines can belong to Nigerians. Nonsense.

Guestlander:


Lagos does not belong to all Nigerians any more than Otueke or Enugu or Portharcout or sambisa forest.
I am not indigenous to your village though, same way you are not indigenous to Lagos.

WORDWORLD:


Just as you have said "TOEING THE TRIBAL LINES BY OUR FORE-FATHERS". Nigeria's chances of growth INDEED has been BLEAK right from the word "GO". Its been tribal and religious politics NOT the politics on economy of growth. VERY, VERY SAD HONESTLY AND SO UNFORTUNATE!!!

This was what the man, LEE KUAN YEW who FORGED Singapore into a VIBRANT NATION wrote about Nigeria (and some African countries) in his book 'FROM THIRD TO FIRST WORLD':

On the culture of coups in the 1960s:
"I was not optimistic about Africa. In less than 10 years after independence in 1966, Nigeria had had a coup and Ghana a failed coup. I THOUGHT THEIR TRIBAL LOYALTIES WERE STRONGER THAN THEIR SENSE OF COMMON NATIONHOOD".

He further said,

"On Chief Festus, Nigeria’s finance minister, in1966: The night before the meeting, Sir
Abubakar Tafawa Belewa gave us a banquet
in the hotel. Raja and I were seated opposite
a hefty Nigerian, Chief Festus, their finance
minister.
The conversation is still fresh in my mind.
He was going to retire soon, he said. He had
done enough for his country and now had to
look after his business, a shoe factory.
As finance minister, he had imposed a tax on
imported shoes so that Nigeria could make
shoes … I went to bed that night convinced
that they were a different people playing to a
different set of rules."

Now on other African countries he also wrote:
"On Krobo Edusei, Ghana’s minister for
presidential affairs, in 1966: On our arrival at
Accra, the person who came up to the
aircraft to greet me was Krobo Edusei, the
minister for presidential affairs.
He had gained notoriety as a corrupt minister
who had bought himself a golden bedstead, a
story much publicised in the world press …
On my second night in Accra, he took me to
a nightclub in Accra. He proudly announced
that he was the owner and that all VIPs
would enjoy their evenings there.
MORE EQUAL
On Kamuzu Banda, Malawi’s founding father:
He was quite a character, with his sunglasses
even indoors and at night, and his buxom
young African lady companion. He looked old
but spoke with vigour, waving his fly whisk to
emphasise his points. (1971 Commonwealth
meeting in Singapore)
On Kenneth Kaunda, Zambia’s founding
father: Prime Minister Kenneth Kaunda’s
major preoccupation was politics, black versus
white politics, not the economics of growth
for Zambia. He remained as president until
the 1990s when, to his credit, he conducted
a fair election and lost.
On lavish lifestyles displayed by Third World
leaders at Commonwealth meetings: All
leaders were equal at the conference table,
but those from heavyweight countries showed
that they were more equal by arriving in big
private jets, the British in their VC 10s and
Comets, and the Canadians in Boeings …
Those African presidents whose countries
were then better off, like Kenya and Nigeria,
also had special aircraft.
I wondered why they did not set out to
impress the world that they were poor and
in dire need of assistance".

Well "BLEAK, BLEAK, BLEAK" has been right from inception and FAR WORSE TODAY for people have been so nurtured with all kinds of IRRATIONAL MADNESS hence won't stop behaving like MAD PEOPLE as it mostly is on this SECTION called POLITICS you will hardly, hardly come across any INTELLECTUAL CONTENT profering solutions to our problems except ADDING TO IT no objectivity except BLIND SENTIMENTALISM. Yes only 'IMBEC!LES take pride in tribe in deteriment of all!!!. EVEN IF THE IGBOS BREAK AWAY ITS ONLY GOING TO BE ANOTHER NIGERIA OF IMBEC!LES. FOR ITS NOT THE CURE TO THE DISEASE INHERENT IN MOST NIGERIANS. THEY ARE STILL GOING TO REBEL AGAINST EACH OTHER. ITS ALL ABOUT SELFISH INTEREST AND NOTHING MORE PULLING US ALL APART.

Fineman87:


Am not indigenous to Lagos but the oil in my land is indigenous to Nigeria abi. The petro dollar too is not indigenous to the land that generates it. And the structures it is used to build now becomes indigenous to yoliba land abi. Zone.b

Guestlander:


Did you put the oil inside the soil? Did you bring it out with your own money? And who told you there's no oil in my land as well?
Who told you for certain that it was the money generated from oil that built anything in my land?

BlessMySoul:


Shame on you young man. Igboland? East? Enemy territory? Are you sure you are ok? How many times have you heard before that Yorubas were killed in the East? Since the inception of Nigeria?

And don't give me that crap that there are no Yorubas here. Because I can tell you that there are thousands if not millions of Yorubas in the East especially within Imo-Portharcourt-Akwa Ibom axis.

How many has been decimated before? Or was it not in the North again thag Yoruba youth corpers were killed when Buhari lost election?

Alcatraz005:
What is all these nonsense? I read your lengthy post and I feel your pain but a concensus has been reached in the minds of all Yorubas as it relates to igbos. We would always oppose you. It is like how the republicans would always oppose the Democratic Party.

Congratulations to Uche Secondus and all igbos out there. We yorubas have a new cause to follow and perfect.

BlessMySoul:
Just check the politics board and see what is happening here. This is a clear proof that you people are very tribal and sentimental like we accuse Igbo people of. You despise Igbo people with passion yet claim "They are the tribal ones".

Just because they lost ordinary party chairman.... They have been so bitter and dying. They have inundated the poitics board with bitter weepings on how the PDP is dead in the South West. Take your time and read through my post to the last. You will realise how you people will loose more if you guys continue down this dangerous lane. Personally as an Igbo man, I dont have any issue with any Nigerian tribe on this forum. I see all the shitty things almost all Nigerian people say about my tribe but I decide to ignore. Check through my profile posts. This is even my first comment and thread on the politics board. I avoid here a lot because its very toxic.

But there is something funny I have noticed about this particular people am talking about. Something very very bad.

In 2015, you lots were accusing the Igbo's of being very tribal and " Poto Poto Minded" for supporting Jonathan whom you all called Monumental failures. Going by all indices and facts, Buhari and Osibanjo are Gargantuan and Brazzen failures ever witnessed since the new democracy. I will use 1 example to buttress this fact. Go to Foreign embassies around Nigeria and see what is happening there. Unlike before, you will see Tens of thousands seeking to run away from this country. Just go to Abuja and see for yourself. Mynd44 may be able to bear witness to this.

Even there was a thread one time one guy was asking if he should come back from the US. Madridguy... A known Buhari supporter and loyalist was at the forefront campaining against Nigeria and why the dude shouldnt come back. I was like... Wow... So even this Buhari supporters know that water has passed garri? This is what madridguy said "OP sit down for US and stop looking for what is not. Nigeria is only good for the rogues in the govt, their family member,or associate. Still no light, no security, health sector zero. Boko haram, fulani terrorist, militant, kidnappers, ritualist, baddo boys, army robbers to mention few are making Nigeria the most dangerous place on earth." That will show you that even these guys know that Buhari/Osibanjo is a failure... A monumental one! Use the link below to verify.

https://www.nairaland.com/4214750/moving-back-nigeria-usa

You can see people from this region am talking about preaching against coming back to Nigeria! This is same Nigeria they dont want Nnamdi Kanu to pull out from with Igbo people oo. The people from this region preached against Nnamdi Kanu eh. They want us to stay together and die even when they know that Nigeria is not working. Topic for another day

Back to topic. .I have taken my time to monitor this board and seen that these people are not better... I have been seeing comments like "We will never support an Igbo VP, PDP is dead in the South West because we lost the "shiamanship", The Igbos can never rule Nigeria, Igbos cannot be trusted". Sighs... As if it matters.

Funny enough in this current administration, nobody has been licking oil and enjoying more than this set of people. They are handling juicy posts and offices. Of the 3 major tribes in this country, no region has been marginalized like Ndigbo in this current adminstration. I have also been seeing comments like "The Igbos don't know how to play Politics and voted only 1 side... So they shouldn't enjoy".... Wow! So its now about who you voted right? No longer politics of inclusion were nobody is the victor or vanquished?

They always think they are smarter than the others so that they will claim " Political Jagaban" and the "Most Sophisticated".

Now tell me something. In 2015, this particular region betrayed the PDP and handed down their votes to the North. Even when they collected huge money from the excos of PDP. They licked the oil and as is there nature in always being negatively smart, they betrayed the party and never delivered any votes!

Lets now see the joke! Same people that betrayed PDP in 2015 now want the machinery of a great party like PDP to be handed over to them! Probably they will now come and be making comments like... " Wow... We are smart. We control PDP through ADENIRAN and also Control APC with TINUBU at the helm of affairs. This region wants to be the people determining who comes out as Governors and senators in different regions and zones so that they can always claim to be the people that control the economy, politics and religion of this country! Same problem my people have! Always claiming 70% of any region they invest in which is very nauseating and annoying"

The New thing reigning now on this forum is.... PMB has just won re-election! Wow! Even as a monumental failure he is? I thought this region was detribalized and non sentimental? I thought they accused Igbos of being naive and akpu minded? What are they minded? I also see comments like "We will never abandon our Son Osibanjo to vote an Igbo man VP! Wow! But Igbos adopted Jonathan and you people made hell of it for over 4 years? Does that mean that this region just like my people are always after their own stomach too and selfish interests not national interests?

But let me close by reminding you people that these chess games you are playing with the political future of your region is outdated. You can't eat your cake and have it back.

Personally, I careless if Buhari or Atiku wins. Because they are still part and parcel of the old structure that made this country what it is today!

But am just trying to remind you people that if you think that the Hausa-Fulani hegemony will hand over power after your so called "PMB has won re-election" then jokes on you guys. Remember 1993? Abiola? Remember 1999? Olu Falae/Obasanjo saga? Remember how Awolowo thought they will make him President but ended up in prison?

Take note of this facts because history is about to repeat itself again. The North Central, South South And South East Will soon Hijack the PDP. The wind of Atiku will soon start blowing all over the country like the monumental failure Buhari.

THERE IS NO WAY ON EARTH BUHARI AND HIS CABAL WILL ALLOW TINUBU OR THIS REGION TO HIJACK APC. QUOTE ME ANYWHERE. ALL THESE PERMUTATIONS YOU PEOPLE ARE DOING THAT BUHARI WILL HAND OVER POWER TO THE WEST IS A NO GO AREA. THEY WILL NEVER TRY IT. WHAT WILL REMAIN AGAIN IS TO FORM ANOTHER REGIONAL PARTY!

Even if there is a zoning System in APC, they will prefer Rochas Okorocha to appease the Igbos. And even if they feel Igbos betrayed them in 2019 again, THEY WILL CHERRY PICK ANOTHER TRIBE OR ANOTHER PERSON FROM YOUR TRIBE THEY WILL HAND POWER OVER TO BUT NOT YOUR CHOICE. MORE LIKE A PUPPET. Obasanjo Or Olu Falae? Ring any bells?

MIND YOU AM JUST BRINGING IGBO AND YORUBA PRESIDENTIAL EQUATION THAT IS IF THE POWERFUL FULANI CABAL DOESN'T HAND POWER OVER TO KWANKWASO OR EL RUFAI.

Do you know the Region that will loose at last? SOUTHERN REGION. Because while the two big Women fight, the poor husband gains everything! The south needs to get their game straight. I will discuss this on another thread

Mynd44 Take note. Anybody that says or breaks any rules on this thread should be sanctioned. This is purely for discussion.

One of my reservation about Nairaland has been the fact that some or most guys here are shallow minded jambites, but you just made me know that there are men of substance here and I've noted your moniker.

This instance you just gave succinctly captures the problem of Nigeria...( let's leave the rest of Africa for now) because our politicians put individual, tribal and regional gain above national interest. And once these can be guaranteed, to hell with any other tribe or interest.

Is there remedy in sight? That's the big question.

BankeSmalls:
