KingGBsky:
I'm South South man from Edo.
I always want to see the South unite. The southerners are always waiting patiently to see Bother The South east and South west come together as one in political front and in an agenda of propagating a united South. This is what can break the powers of the Hausa/Fulani.
I am against and will always be against the division of this great Nation.
The Ibos should fight on and stop hiding under the shadows of always wanting to break away if things don't go their way. The Ibos have just 5states and even the Yorubas don't share more also but the Hausa/Fulani has used their deceptive measures, religion and herdsmen terrorism to bring the whole of the North to its knees even the middle belt.
I bet you if the Southerners come together as one even large part of the middle bet will choose to join party with the south.
I am not saying this in order to divide the nation but to propagate level playing ground in politics and democracy where on tribe(Fulani) will not feel superior to all the tribes of the nation.
Ibos have five states, how come there are seven Ibo governors ?

You cherry picked...Why not start from the first question?

As for the second...Awolowo was no soldier.
Please the OP made this thread to try and see if it is a possibility for the South to unite on political and economical front so that we can reduce the Hausa/Fulani conspiracy.

Why should we support Awolowo in 1979 the man who did all he did to destroy the Igbos.?

Why should we support MKO who said he can do without the Igbos.?

Go and join OPC tasked with protecting SW against Fulani Terrorists who are already in your land.
Re: The Foolishness Of Igbos And The Yorubas by HarryDuce(m):
Thank you very much OP for this nice piece. A very wonderful piece i must say.

The sophisticated Yorubas and hardworking Igbos don't seem to see past their noses.

Even here on this thread, they are showing us how smart they are.
Only among the southern groups that akamu brains would create a thread bashing themselves, bashing other minority tribes. And you would see The Igbos and Yorubas masturbating over such threads.
'Igbos are bitter people, drug peddlers' '
Yorubas are ritualists, yahoo boys' ,
'Edo people are Italians, prostitutes' ,
'Ijaws are drunkards, Laziest things in Nigeria'
'Aiwa ibom people are born house helps, keke drivers'

You would see them telling you how true it is, How they have 'experienced' it first hand.



Anyway, nobody should take it personally. If you do, your cup of tea.

You must be crazy to put up this nonsense..

Igbos and Yorubas have absolutely nothing in common. If not for Nigeria, we would be far apart.

If you think cheap blackmail will work, you better have a rethink and re-eveluate your miserable existence.
Nonsense!
The Yorubas' and the Igbos have alot in common..they think progressively..if you think they are not then is it the Northerners that you have something in common with?....imagine the Fulani killings across the country..the whole south has rising against these people but their patrons and leaders see nothing bad in it..it that really the kind of people you wish to form alliances with..please..oga..the OP has a point though his message was a bit harsh but it made sense..of what good is the whole is south west if only Lagos is progressing and developed..do you call that regional progress. Pls Nigerian youth should change the way they reason.we are our own problems and not our leaders because of the way we reason and endorse them

kissyou're very stupid for this reckless write up .
americanson:
I was going through the politics section when I stumbled on a thread in which a supposed efik indigene was calling for the unification and coalition of igbos and yorubas in order to form a formidable south.

it started as usual, Igbos who are emotional toddlers filled with so much uncontrollable and unforgiving spirit and bile couldn't contain their emotions and they let out their usual pent up anger over a past many didn't even experience--the biafra war.--as one of them even admitted.

I will repeat it again, if there is anything, igbos are not so wise, despite their bravery and strength. It was the wisdom of David that fell Goliath in the bible. Go figure... everything is not by gra gra.

According to history, Ojukwu was no where to be found when shiit hit the fan. He saved his FAMILY first before the children of the masses that sacrificed their children at that altar of war arena.

History also has it on record that other ethnic groups fought on the side of Biafra and with casualties recorded on their side as well. But each time this story is told by Igbos, they hardly ever mention this side of the story. How do you want them to feel?

If Biafra was so great as you all boast on nairaland, how come just food was used to bring the great biafra to its knees? This is what happens when you lack strategy.

Look at IPOB agitation and see who disintegrated them... fellow igbos did. You have not defeated your enemies within, you want to take on an entire nation. Kill those governors, the entire current governors and I will begin to take you serious.

The mere fact that Nnamdi Kanu ( I didn't like his strategy which buttress my points above--lack of wisdom and strategy but brave) is missing and everywhere in the East is calm when you should be after your governors, burning up and maiming them for partaking in disappearance of Nnamdi Kanu, kill their family if you can, you are here making noise.

Now listen up... bring up Biafra agitation million times and it will fail a million times... because you guy lack wisdom.... FACT! what is bravery without wisdom? There too many loopholes that elites will always use against the agitation of Biafra and you guys are not even ready to fix those loopholes.

I had to spend more time on Igbo issue because this is where I come from.

The Yorubas on the other hand always act like they are too smart, they think forming alliance with the North means the will enjoy so much benefits... what are the stats as of 2018? Is SW now the Utopia?

One slowpoke said "we know what we want"... What do you want? Are you getting what you want? If you are using Lagos state development as yardstick of progress of SW in 2018, you are one of the fools of the 21st century. Many of you who lay claim to Lagos and sing "Eko Oni Baje" are not even from that state. You are singing Eko Oni Baje but your state in Ekiti, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, Oyo are nothing to write home about.

No light, no good roads, education is in shambles, no jobs, poverty is on the increase... and so many plagues I can't mention.

You continue to associate with the North that is EVERY damn thing backwards, a group people who makes God regret his works of creation.

Nigeria is being recognised for any achievements on the international arena, it is OFTEN the SOUTH! 99.9% achievements in this country is by the works of the South... but you all allow this good for nothing stone age Neanderthals to keep dragging the progressive South backwards because of your foolishness, pride and ego!

Do you think the North does not have differences? but they are often quick to cover up their mess before the very eyes of the South, case in point, the incessant attacks by Emir Sanusi and the drama that followed suit.

I really don't know what is wrong with you people... educated but often act like you are smart illiterates. Left for me, the North is NOTHING...and they can be put where they belong but you all keep making them feel important by your actions and inactions. Do you see them commenting as much as you?

Listen up... the fact that you know how to read and write does not mean you are smart or intelligent.

Till I die, no Northerner will ever get my votes... Buhari did a nice job in letting me know we are not one!

We are saying the same thing...The south meed to stop antagonizing themselves. Period.

But you need to see from history how we got where we are no in other not to repeat the same mistake.

Can you show any where the Nupes, Gwaris, Jukun, Kanuris are always antagonizing the Hausa/Fulanis? But in the south...you will see Ijaw person saying he is the King, the Edo, the Yorubas, and the Igbos figthing themselves.
Re: The Foolishness Of Igbos And The Yorubas by Ngokafor(f): 11:10am On Feb 20, 2018
What really is the aim of this thread??...@ op i dont think you are very smart at all...not one bit...You could have passed your message on your so-called Southern Unity without insulting Igbos..

Now your thread is a mess while you are running around in confusion trying to prove a point only you are willing to listen to...You really got served here.

Nonsense!
Alariiwo the Yorubas cannot stand up against the Hausa/Fulani on thief own neither can the Ibos but together they can become strong.
The Fulanis never want the Yorubas to be one with the Ibos so they can propagate their ideology of making the whole Nigeria a caliphate under their rule.
They always say ruling Nigeria is their birthright even in a democratic state.
What will the south benefit with hate?
Should we the youth stand and watch this Fulanis make us their slaves in this generation?
Look at is happening in kwara state for instance, a Yoruba state ruled by Fulanis. This is a shame.
I bet you if not for a Governor like Fayose they would have taken over Ekiti a long time ago.

He's right you know. But at this point, I think the divisions are so strong that it's impossible to have both come together. The best we can do is to at least cooperate in getting our own republics.

Alariwo, noise maker...

I am not here to take any sides... it is what it is. The North can never be better than us, if not for the disunity in the South who is the North?

The North is better than the South East, yet they need federal supports to rebuild regions devastated by Boko Haram, where did the FG help the South East after the civil war?

I will never hate a Yoruba man. As matter of fact, my closest fellow hustler is Yoruba guy.

You ALARIIWO is a Northern mole in the South even if you claim to be from the South West. You always support everything North.

Again, the Yorubas and Igbos and politically foolish...
Thank God you know that the foolish guy Alarriwo is a northerner....

You are the foolish one. Why? Because no separatist anyway on earth engages in voting in a country he wants to opt out from.

You said KANU was brave but lacked tact? Now I know that KANU is indeed ahead of his time. Losers like you are the ones who have no solution yet sit like armchair critics to downplay the tactics of others.

It is only in Nigeria (a shithole country) that sees IPOB as a terrorist body.
