Why Unity In Southern Nigeria Is Almost Impossible by Nobody: 4:49pm On Dec 18, 2018
Let's get this thing right into our skull once and for all. I mean all of us right down south.

I will explain why it's a mission impossible to unite the south buh lemme take water first since it will be a long journey.

Modified

Before the invasion of the brits, there have been different tribes living on their lands while few other minorities in some part are been ruled and controled by the majorities they find themselves mix with.

In the Northern Nigeria many years back, Usman Dan-fodio a stranger living amidst the Hausas in the North was a preacher of islam, he was given a land to stay by a king of a small village where he resides, he started preaching his religion and was able to gather many hausa followers including his fulani brethrens, most of his hausa followers are those who felt their leaders has been cheating them through tax and all, he eventually rebeled(Religion) and conquer the entire North, this results to the creation of Sokoto caliphate which seems to be the powerhouse of the entire north irrespective of their tribes and culture. Sokoto was ruling the entire north which automatically made them one region irrespective of tribes govrn by Sokoto caliphate. Dan fodio actually tries bringing his jihad war down south buh was defeated with his million army by the Yoruba (then OYO Empire) warriors.


Down south here, the Yorubas and few other minorities are holding down the west, the Igbos and other minorities were holding down the east.

Now after the brits invasion, because of the already government style met in the North, it was easy for them to take control of the region same as west side that use same for of government as at then unlike the east which doesn't have any form government as at then..

The southern was exposed to education earlier than the Northern, the northern submitted themselves to the brits for the future because they were less educated at the time. They align and corrupt the whites to do their wishes by being a fool for them, they begged the whites to amalgamate the southern with them since they have lots to gain from the south......

Fashola asked some people to vote for osibanjo so that they can produce the presidency.

Why should the rest of us support such bigotry?

Are we fools? And that is beside the fact that buhari has failed.

there's nothing we won't see.. Igbos will come here shouting Yorubas hate them, South South too, soon Hausa-Fulani will follow suit. They voted against GEJ for being stupid and incompetent in 2015, we voted for him cuz we believed in him in 2011. Anyway. Omo nna claiming south south. You are no more proud of your origin?

Igbo antagonising Yorubas and vice versa will never stop as long as politics is concerned in Nigeria. It started long ago when their father Azikiwe betrayed the entire south to align with the North in 1954. He laid the foundation.

The West was the reason why Jonathan ruled this nation after the demise of Yardua. No other regions including Southsouth fought for GEJ as the West. After all this Yorubas were ejected out of Government under his directives.
Yorubas support just cause even if it is against their own. For example Yorubas singlehandedly scuttle OBJ third term bid. No other tribe could have done that in Nigeria.
Yorubas may have their weak points as do other tribe, one thing Yoruba must be appreciated for is that they use all they could to foster peaceful coexistence among people of different tribes living under her jurisdiction.

this is always hard 4or them to comprehend. All they always wanted is for Yorubas to support them in everything even if it's gonna lead to war. Obasanjo, first head of state to hand over government peacefully in Nigeria which he eventually enjoy the goodwill later in the future. So many other we can't mention.

I anglicised it to suit my taste.

All time in lagos I can't remember befriending yorubas but they all come like flock.

Even when I schooled in east samething even to an extent a yoruba boy bluntly accused me of been a tribalist....reason is coz I don't fancy the hand of friendship he is extending.


Nobody ever asks of. Unity but we know the people always asking for that.

omo nna, you are just one among million Igbos. Just because one yoruba out of a million is extending a friendship hand to you doesn't mean the tribe entirely allign with your tribe. And by the way, many Yorubas doesn't know Igbos doesn't like them. It's normal of Yorubas to throw friendship hands to whoever cuz that's their natural nature, they are naturally friendly. And because many doesn't know that the Igbos hold them responsible for their loss in the civil war they belief everything is cool without knowing that even the one that is smiling and playing with you doesn't like you. I was once a victim of that too, i used to love Igbos when i was in Ng, i didn't know what was going on in reality. I'd leave my own Yoruba brothers and go buy from an Igbo. It was only when i arrived here in Ghana that i was made to realise the reality of the Southern Nigeria. Only those Yorubas that doesn't know of the natural hatred Igbos have for them still try to be friendly with them. Because they are throwing friendship hands doesn't mean you are the most special on planet earth, check around, that's how they go about throwing same hands to every other tribe. Yorubas are naturaly friendly unlike you and your people that harbors hatred around. We'd go on a campaign soon to open our brothers eyes so they can know the reality that the Igbos doesn't like them and doesn't want them near them so they can know the right people and tribe they'd throw their friendship to the right people and show the same hatred and hostility Igbos have for them. Chikena. Unity in Southern means leaders and not the La casera sellers in traffic buh still would never happen anyway. Unity is not one person coming to be friend with you, he might want to be friend with you while the rest of us still continue being enemy.

That is a lie.
It was dora akunyili that consistently fought turai yaradua kitchen cabinet in the National Assembly and forced Jonathan to get sworn in.

Stop revising history.

If we left it to Yoruba noisemakers, nothing would happen.

It was pressure from National Assembly created by Dora akunyili, that did the job.

SHUT UP! Yoruba did NOT vote for GEJ in 2011. LIAR like you, even BEFORE GEJ became acting president Ofgemmanu (though not all but Majority) was against him. You people insulted him like tomorrow did not exist. Sophisticated m0r0n5.
