goodnessme1:So, you'll rather be a third fiddle in governance in Nigeria? If you have complained about marginalisation in Nigeria, then you are part of the problem! |

shadeyinka: Like I've always said, you sound great. You can't be seeking peace and be insulting me at the same time. Tinubu called Igbos during this last election Omo Okolo and Oba of Lagos said some few stuffs very degrading. Those actions has made the Igbos to see election as a challenge. Igbos are too busy to leave there businesses and stand 3 hours in the name of getting a voter card ask anybody from the East. I've never seen an Igbo man in the East, plan or fight a Yoruba man. 2 Likes |

bluke:What do you mean? Shouldn't we end this self destructive feud? |
Re: Towards Igbo-yoruba Unity And Coalition by kernel01: 11:33am On May 09, 2019 |
shadeyinka: Let me surprise you, Igbos won't want to make any form of peace with the Yorubas, simply because they feel that Yorubas want peace because they're sensing that they will loose out on direct confrontation with the North at the poll. And so... They suddenly needs them now. 2 Likes 1 Share |

shadeyinka:I disagree with this statement. What we are experiencing now is that a well packaged propaganda and exaggerations previously sold to us are being punctured all round since the dawn of the internet. Yorubas made the rest of us believe they are all that, now it is becoming clearer by the day. 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.They are the real political geniuses. 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. The question is, Is Nigeria workable? It is not about who becomes president but overhauling the system. When the system is functional, it makes an incompetent person look good, if a system is dysfunctional, even a genius will be rubbished. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

kernel01:I understand their fears! Unfortunately, it's difficult generalising about what the Yoruba want or What the Igbos want because there isn't a unanimous position about anything from both the East and the West. But, even then. If Yoruba support the Igbos for 2023 presidency, who has more to gain? |

kernel01:And you made it look like you guys aren't guilty of same, aren't you guys the only tribe in Nigeria calling Lagos a no man's land, do you expect us to laugh at that... Don't you guys abuse the yoruba's also... Most of you feel good talking about what is going on in the west, forgetting what's going on in your region... It works both ways so don't make it look like one group is bad... Most of you guys I've met online are so hateful and see nothing good in others, only trying to build your ego with fallacies and twisted stories...(probably nairaland bigots) 2 Likes |

shadeyinka: Today... Igbos don't bear animosity against the people of South South, we voted there son in love, irrespective of their position during and after the Civil War. They both tribes are good. You can see how they helped Ekweremadu to become the Senate deputy, without them it wouldn't be possible. There's a need for mutual understanding. Secondly, we have different ideology when it comes to politics. We can't be taking command from anybody, Yorubas believes they must be a Supreme leader, we don't. We prefer consensus. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Firstly, Tinubu never declared any where of having interest in 2023 presidency. Secondly, please enough of all this unity begging. There will always be competition btw humans, party, buusines, religion e.t.c Thirdly, Igbo presidency is not yet ripe. May be in 10 years + ( That's the fact). He who poured water on ground must match wet ground. |

Donelli:Unfortunately, Tinubu, Obasanjo or Oshinbajo do not represent the Yoruba race. The Yorubas are more political independent than you think. That's why votes are not usually homogeneous. If Obasanjo a Yoruba man could be rejected by the Yorubas for being pro North among others how much more people like Tinubu? I agree with you. The Northern elite are more politically matured than both the East and the Western political leadership. They play on our division to rule over us and they have been succeeding. They even keep their people uneducated and poor so as to be able to use them as a tool against the rest of us. The problem is that, should the status quo remain? When leadership isn't about Wisdom and Direction to lead towards greatness should such be made out head? If massive oil deposit bis found in the North, all this problem would not exist. They would have declared Usman Dan Fodio Republic before you say jack! Is Nigeria workable? I say yes! But as a confederacy! |

Mayor08: When I see maturity I know, you're one. But having said that, the whole South is angry against Yorubas because all the political gains of balance of power made by Obasanjo was sold to out when they South. Jonathan loved and respected Yorubas. PDP zoned Speakership to the West, but ACN connivined with some PDP guys to gift it to Tambuwal. We the Igbos weren't given such position. Today... We're fighting to see if South will ever be President again I think it is too late. North will not give up power at ease again. 4 Likes 1 Share |

kernel01:I dream of a country who will rise up from being a third world country. A country where Technology wise, we are self sufficient! A country that can be compared with the best in the whole world! I dream of a country that is ruled by intelligent-intellectuals. A country devoid of tribalistic and tribal sentiment. Where a man can aspire to be anything his gifts, ability's and hardwork will lead him. I'm I asking for too much? |
Re: Towards Igbo-yoruba Unity And Coalition by shadeyinka(m): 12:15pm On May 09, 2019 |
Donelli:But have we gained much with flouting our differences? Aren't we not complaining about this Nigeria? It look alike we all want a great country, but we also are allowing individual, selfish and personal sentiments from clouding our better judgement. If we sit down to do a strategic analysis, we'll discover that a change in approach is needed. |

Most Igbo's want Biafra, we have more than a war torn situation in Nigeria. 1.One of the Highest illiteracy in the world. 2. Poorest nation 3. Insurgency 4. High inflation 5. No credit 6.

shadeyinka:The Yorubas are not as politically independent as you think. What you have are two or three strongmen and their followers. The voting pattern depends on who the leaders go for. I agree with you. The Northern elite are more politically matured than both the East and the Western political leadership. They play on our division to rule over us and they have been succeeding. They even keep their people uneducated and poor so as to be able to use them as a tool against the rest of us.The last sentence captures my thought about overhauling the system. Nigeria is not workable as it is and will only get worse. Then again, we know the North wants to keep Nigeria by all means because of the oil, the East wants to leave Nigeria because of economic oppression and sabotage... What does the West want and why? 3 Likes 2 Shares |
