Towards Igbo-Yoruba Unity and Coalition

I am honestly dismayed by the apparent display of gross "self-centredness" and "myopicness" of Igbos and Yorubas on Nairaland.

The only thing I know is wrong with these two tribes is the Rivalry of who is the greatest tribe between. Both tribes claim sound Education, Intelligence, Commerce, Industry, Exposure and Ability unfortunately, the game of division is making the two tribes "Stupidly Foolish".

The Hausa/Fulani seem to understand this division and hence use it to their own advantage even though they are considered as inferior. They have even come out boldly to announce that 2023 still belong to them and by all common sense, they are correct.

Why can't the Igbos and Yorubas unite for once? In 2023, Tinubu or Oshinbajo would want to be President. A minimum of 27 Igbo politicians would want to be President. The East and West votes would be fragmented. The North usually vote in a block. I think you can see the obvious answer.

My submission.
1. Let the Yorubas forget the presidency for 2023 but let the Igbos nominate about 6-8 candidates for the West to choose whom to support amongst them.
2. Let the East support whoever of the lot the West adopt.
3. Finally, let the coalition work upon the Middle belt and the Minorities in the North.

I honestly think that its high time we had an Igbo president for the progress of this country.
Nothing else will work except this coalition is made to work. Peace.
What do you think?

NB:
If you read this and you are still bent on East-West division, your bigotry, myopicness and stupidity is without cure!

Infact let tinubu chose his loyalist thats an igbo ....that's the best

This is why i love OBJ ....give him an ward he would nominate 5 loyalist there

mrvitalis:


West hated OBJ/PDP in 1999 and he still won thats no excuse ...there are igbo apc loyalist ....so ur argument hold no water

afroniger:


Before this can even happen, igbos need to discard their rabid hatred for APC as a party. As it stands, even if your suggestion were to come to fruition, I seriously doubt that Igbos jn general would vote for an igbo APC presidential candidate. Their disdain for the party seems insurmountable. They would rather vote for a PDP Hausa/Fulani with an Igbo VP than an Igbo APC candidate.

shadeyinka:

I couldn't help but laugh at this.
Anything for peace will do.

But I think the Igbos will know better who is credible to lead us in the nation

So you truly think that Yorubas supporting an Igbo presidency is what will unite Igbos and Yorubas? I laugh in Chinese.

For starters, Igbos are not overly bothered about holding the presidential office. Second, Igbos and Yorubas are as different as day and Night. How the Igbo mind reasons is different from how the Yoruba mind thinks.

There can never be any unity between Yorubas and Igbos. We dont trust each other and we dont particularly even like each other. Unity is about having things in common. As an Igbo man, I would rather trust a Cobra than a Yoruba man

As good-intention as your suggestions appear, I don't think it can work. Igbos appear uninterested in the presidency. That's just the fact of the matter. The battle for who will succeed Buhari has already began in earnest. And while the SW and much of the North are already asserting their interest in the plum seat, the SE seems to have already resigned to occupying the VP position to a Northern president come 2023; all you hear from them is Kwankwaso/Obi or Tambuwal/Obi 2023. As in... Yorubas cannot be 'more catholic than the pope' in this case, by championing an igbo presidency when the igbos themselves have settled for VP. Who does that?? Igbos need to show more assertiveness and ambition toward the 2023 presidency, maybe then others would key into it and coalition talks can begin. But to expect Yorubas to offer igbos the presidency on a silver platter is foolhardy at best. Nobody does that. Even when OBJ was running in both 1999 and 2003, Northerners as well as other Southerners threw their hats into the ring to compete against him for the seat.

etrouble:
Get this nonsense out of here. Yorubas will never ever be in coalition with kidnappers, drug pushers, armed robbers, human traffickers and baby factory operators. Let Igbos put their candidats forward, we will meet at the polls.

But as we all know, Igbos will never be bold enough to contest against Yorubas, instead they will put a Hausa presidential candidate forward and be his deputy. They are just chest beaters. So, let Igbos put their Northern presidential candidate and Igbo VP forward, we shall meet at the polls.

We disgraced Igbos in 2015. We humiliated Igbos in 2019. In 2023, we shall incapacitate and totally dehumanise them. we shall teach them politics under different headings.
yes true talk yorubas will remain in nigeria the can have their biafra yoruba and igbo will never unite never ever noet in this world or there after

But it is a first step in the right direction.

Unfortunately, it means that as long as Nigeria is a Nation, you will only get crumbs after the North has taken their full share and that is if you are lucky to still have any remaining.

But, what is wrong with forgiveness and togetherness in aspiring for greatness?

izombie:
The only coalition that can work between igbos and yorubas is to band together and get out of this union called nigeria. After that, the igbos and yorubas may decide to have their biafra/oduduwa republics or they can remain as one united south.
Nothing else can bring these two great tribes together. The north is a disease to both the igbos and yorubas.
