So the consensus is that to be a true blooded ibo you must have deep hatred for Yoruba.

I have been in midst of ibos and a guy; my neighbour, told me to my face that my noble tribe are snitches. Then he proceeded to give his brothers a lecture on why they should hate Yorubas which they eagerly received

I was pissed but i ignored it. However the hatred such ibos sow they will reap. its such thinking and behaviour that led to the civil war in which they suffered so much. Their parents taught this generation to hate and they are teaching their children same which is shameful and Unchristian behaviour

Ibo invaded the South West and were repelled so they commenced the hostilities of the civil war. Not attacked by the Nigeria army

Joe Igbokwe says it raw!

"Did the Yoruba go to war when June 12 1993 Presidential Election won by their illustrious son Chief MKO Abiola was annulled on June 23rd 1993 on a sheet of paper by IBB?

Did Yoruba go to war when Abiola’s wife Alhaja Kudirat Abiola was murdered in Lagos in the morning of Jun 4 1996?

Did Yoruba go to war when the winner of that historic election was poisoned on July 7 1998?

Did Yoruba go to war when those who killed Abiola imposed Obasanjo on them as President in 1999?

Did Yoruba accept Chief Ernest Shonekan when IBB made him to head the interim government in 1993? Yoruba rejected OBJ and Shonekan because this unique race has never been slaves to public office and yet they have remained number one in Nigeria in almost everything. This is wisdom and strategic thinking at work.

Those of us who have lived in Yoruba land for years should not only learn how to wear Aso Ebi, eat Ewedu soup or dance Owambe, music.

We must have also learned other unique things from them like sharing property to both male and female children, religious tolerance, ethnic tolerance, transferring legacies from generation to generation. Do you know that APC National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s wife is a Christian? Do you know that former Governor Fashola’s wife is a Christian? We can learn a lot from Yoruba. Yoruba too can learn from Igbo in areas of thinking home, business enterprise, self-help, apprenticeship, etc.

A Yoruba woman, a Pastor Mrs. Eunice Olawale Elisha of the Redeemed Christian Church of God old NEPA Road Phase 4 Kubwa, Abuja was killed by unknown persons on Saturday morning of July 9, 2016, while preaching the gospel around 5.30am. I have followed the reactions on the internety and Yoruba do not behave like the Igbo. They have been speaking but not preaching hate. They have called for the culprits to be fished out, prosecuted and punished. If Mrs. Eunice Elisha had been an Igbo hell would have been let loose. There would have been abuses and abuses. But Yoruba are not Igbo. This is civilization. This is strategic thinking. I hope our people can learn from this. Civility is not a sign of weakness. He who fights and run away lives to fight another day.

When GEJ marginalized Yoruba in his cabinet for five years despite been the most vocal in an effort to make him president, Yorubas didn't threaten anybody, they didn't abuse anybody, they simply fought in a peaceful & civilized way to effect a change in 2015 using their PVC. Today the most active VP since the independence & most likely, the next president of Nigeria is Yoruba. Fashola heads 3 ministries & referred to as prime minister in some parlance, Kemi Adeosun heads finance, Fayemi heads mines etc. That's how to fight for relevance in multi faceted country like Nigeria & not taking up arm against everybody.

To have ears is not to listen, to listen is not to hear, to hear is not to understand, to understand is not to put to practice. I know that writing this may not get me many friends among the Igbo, but it always gets me the right ones"

In 1993, you igbos gave name to the anger of yorubas. You called it OSO ABIOLA. What have you people done since kanu disappeared. Only to come to nairaland to flex muscles. Well, since I read about oso abiola. I don't take igbos serious.

We decided to vacate the space so you and the north can have enough room to cancel each other out. But we got seriously disappointed when you chickened out and hid under your beds, I always laugh whenever I remember your cowardice.

What did you moronic brave ipods do when kanu was arrested. What have you done to help the other two idiots in jail after kanu abandoned them and fled to ghana. What have you chest beating daft ipod animals done to avenge the death of your fellow daft ipod pigs wasted like animals. Your bravery ends on your useless FB page where you peddle all sorts of dirty lies and brag your useless lives away. It's really funny to hear ipods from the sad beast call anybody coward when they are indeed the definition of the word 'COWARD'
For your information I'm not an IPOB, and funny enough you keep using abusive and insultive words like dirty pigs, dafts, moronic brave etc. Its understandable that it takes a pained man to say all these. But it doesn't change the fact that, your people cowardly went to sleep when your leaders are being daily slaughtered, jailed and dehumanized.

1. Inspite of Tinubu being the No 1 party leader of APC he has no voice

2. After MKO's mandate was denied him, he was jailed and killed, without any finger lifted. Just because he was given a national award 20yrs after, you all went on wild celebration. NB. They gave same to his then running mate that's still alive.

3. MKO's wife Kudirat, was killed, nothing happened.

4. If not for the death of Gen. Abacha, OBJ & Gen. Rt. Diya would have been killed. The same cowards like you and your brothers would still be quiet. Lazy people.

5. Fela & Idiagbon were also killed by same Abacha's Govt. Like the proverbial goat "when being pushed to the wall it fights back", but in your case you break the wall without lifting a finger.

Igbos were attacked first in the war, and they moved to Lagos to arrest Gowon since the yorubas were hiding him at Dodan barracks. They got stopped because it was a yoruba man who led the attack, he chickened out like his people always do.

Like the Bible says you pray and watch, likewise also you fight and watch, which is the Igbos adopted strategy. However, Kanu is still alive; where are MKO, Fela, Idiagbon, Kudirat etc and if they're dead who killed them and what did the afonjas do?

GodIsBiafran:
lipsrsealed Joe Igbokwe has a point. I actually admire (note I did not say 'like', I 'admire' them) Yorubas. They are very intelligent and strategic. Their culture is far more flexible and resilient than any in the country. And, I see nothing wrong in emulating what is good about them and discarding the rubbish part. I believe if Igbos can unite and be as strategic, we will dominate EVERY SINGLE SECTOR in this country. This is our achilles heels. The greater Igbo nation has two major goals to achieve before the actualization of Biafra:

1. Elect an Igbo President in 2023

2. Work with the greater South to Restructure Nigeria.

After this, the actualization of Biafra will be a walk in the park.

NB: I have also noticed that some Igbo parents teach their children from an early age to despise Yorubas. This is a counter-productive strategy because either we like it or not, we need each other in this complex Nigerian environment. I thank God my parents did not t
each me hate. I am 100 % Biafran but I do not believe HATE is a requirement to be a Biafran or to achieve Biafra. Biafra when it is realized will be the shinning light on the hill. And hate will not take us there. Only strategic thinking and planning; and making deals with people we disagree with will take us there.
God bless u, just spoke my mind, wish other ibos will reason like u. By d way, I'm half IBO.

No doubt Fela is respected man. Do Igbos respect Fela more than they respect Ojukwu? Not a chance. Fela fought human rights abuse, Ojukwu fought for something far more important, the liberation of his people.

Fela fought with his music and mouth, Ojukwu fought with live bullets.

Naturally, the Yoruba narrative is that Ojukwu started a war but it was you Nigerians that came to the East were Ojukwu and his people were enjoying their new country to come and fight them.

Ojukwu led millions of his people to their deaths, it is not painting Ojukwus people. It is you Yorubas it is paining. Crying more than the bereaved.

Ojukwu fought the might of the Nigerian Army for 3 years. No Yoruba man will ever have the backbone or guts to fight for the liberation of the Yoruba people in my life time, let alone get to the stage of running away. Yorubas are not made of that sort of stuff in this 21st century.

As I said before, Yorubas and Igbos dont have anything in common. All we have is that Lugard forced all of us together in 1914.

But if someone like Nnamdi Kanu comes out and says he wants his people to go their way, Yoruba unity beggars will start foaming at the mouth.





Haba! Osu! Ojukwu's Osutic brain was reset from Biafran to Nigerian mode at Ore. Is ore part of the erosion ravaged Osuland?
