ODVanguard:I am in the minority and in both 2015 and 2019,Apc won Sw by whiskers...not by anything significant despite their massive propaganda....all the margins were eveb cancelled by a single state in SE. I'm in the minority and apc lost Osun State in the real elections and had to enter in to a last minute deal with omisore and then engage in massive rigging of the rerun. I'm in the minority and their party lost oyo state.. lol..minority indeed.. more like minority on nairaland |

Oladeji245:Oga Ade calm down. I am not amongst those that will drag you for not supporting Tinubu. I was only giving you my perspective as to why I think you may be getting dragged more often than not. And that was why I used the Kanu analogy. Try opening a thread on this forum to drag Nnmadi Kanu and watch the caustic responses you would receive from his fans and admirers. His followers online are way more than his opponents, that's just the way it is. Historically, Yorubas have always had 'mainstream' (a political party that dominates the region) existing side-by-side with opposition parties within the same region. And like I said, even Awolowo had fierce opposition in his SW/Western region political base. Therefore it is not a crime for you not to support Tinubu. But perhaps you just need to grow some tough skin because you can't expect to call Tinubu names and not get a reaction from some of his ardent supporters. Politics can be an emotional sport. It is what it is. ![]() |

ODVanguard:ok sir |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by ODVanguard: 5:58pm On May 07, 2020 |
Oladeji245:Guy, abeg dey your dey. I would rather not engage you in any roforofo fight over this issue. Just grow some thick skin because just as you are entitled to call Tinubu names, so are his ardent supporters entitled to hit you back as they see fit. To such supporters, you may be dragged as though you are a Yoruba-hating igbo troll (coz they are the ones that are mostly fond of hating Tinubu for the most irrational reasons), similar to the way fellow igbos are labelled 'Afonja' for abusing Kanu or supposedly holding unpopular views that they deem to be anti-igbo or against the larger igbo interests). It's a free world. |

jacksonkennedy:This is a good thread and I pray others won't fload it with unwanted issues just to shift our focus and objective of the thread. You v said it all in your post,however we need to be objective on what we want. To me we need to keep supporting the north in the quest to hold on to one Nigeria because that is the only way we can benefits from the Nigerian project. As far as Nigeria remains we can not be defeated. |

KingJa:Ndigbo fought all the military dictators in Nigeria from the grandfather of them all, Yakubu Gowon to unmentioned. While Ndigbo fought every one of the dictators, your forbearers were in lockstep with them. You simply cannot eat your cake and have it. |

gidgiddy:I googled it and realised that notwithstanding the noise of Ibos both in Nigeria and all over the world about Biafra, Ibos registered to be 46th member of UNPO after Yoruba with 45th membership. I have always said it that Igbos enjoy making empty noise than actually channeling their strength to a more meaningful way of achieving their set goals. |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by yommen: 6:57pm On May 07, 2020 |
Dedetwo:What did ndigbo achieve even after all the fights? |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by gidgiddy: 7:03pm On May 07, 2020 |
yommen:You are comparing registering with organisation to people who declared independence and fought a three year war to be free? Dont make me laugh, Igbos passed the stage of UNPO long time ago |

AniOmaa:1. Tinubu is a private citizen, he left public office decades ago. 2. Tinubu is not the governor of Lagos state and the people of Lagos state did not elect him to feed them, to cloth them, or to alleviate anything. 3. Lagosians don't care and they don't depend on Tinubu for their daily bread, maybe you do, but not Lagosians. 4. Lagosians don't waste their time and lives to suffocate, to bitch, to moan and fixate on Tinubu like you and your kind, they have better things to do with their lives. 5. If you are hungry and you need alleviation in your life, call on your village governors and elected officials to feed you and end your suffering. Worry more about the village leaders you voted for to look after your life because they are responsible for your life, not Tinubu, a private citizen in Laos. |

ODVanguard:That guy can't understand what you are saying. To them, anyone who doesn't join them in insulting tinubu is a tinubu supporter. |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by obaaderemi: 8:35pm On May 07, 2020 |
gidgiddy:And what came from the war? |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by reality1010: 8:59pm On May 07, 2020 |
JOHNSONSOLAFUNMI:Long term goal of religious tolerance with MURIC,I laugh in Swahili. Long term goal is political tolerance with "oruka",jazz to anyone who is in opposition to you political you will burn his house and property. Remember Yorubas r still praying to drive Igbos into the lagoon and claim their properties. Long term goal to seccede from Nigeria with Tinubu,kikiki! Long term goal is to speak evils of IPOB but envy their non voilence strategies. Long term goal is to use Amotekun to achieve Oduduwa republic with MURIC. I pity you people. |

obaaderemi:For three years Igbo people used their own currency, sang their own national anthem, flew their own flag/coat of arms and were not being controlled by Nigeria. It was an experience of a lifetime The Yoruba nation can only dream of such experience, it will always be about what Nigeria gives them. |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by obaaderemi: 9:34pm On May 07, 2020 |
gidgiddy:Your experience was a nightmare to your people. Yorubas can never dream of such calamity. |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by gidgiddy: 9:39pm On May 07, 2020 |
obaaderemi:Well at least now you people know that freedom is not as easy as joining UNPO |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by obaaderemi: 11:54pm On May 07, 2020 |
gidgiddy:We've always known that. That's why we are subtle. You on the other hand didn't realize that until you experienced the nightmare of the civil war. Things have not been the same since then. |

reality1010:Which Region is more tolerant than south west? Yoruba gave the 2 major parties a level playing field, can the same be said about other regions? It’s a fallacy and a very stupid statement by you, that easterners will be thrown into the lagoon, how do you drive millions of easterner in Lagos inside the lagoon, how’s that possible? The oba used that to keep you guys at bay cause i don’t think another ethnic group can come together and call Onitsha no man’s land... what will your obi do? Why will eze ndigbo in akure refer to himself as a king, that he can’t prostrate today the Deji of akure kingdom, imagine a Yoruba man not paying homage to your obi in his palace... imagine the audacity, which Yoruba man has come out to speak ill against your course, even fani Kayode a Yoruba man is the one advancing your course You’re not a Yoruba and your contribution doesn’t matter, you can put that energy in your region’s course instead of showing your ignorance to the whole Nairaland |

Grayoso:God will continue to bless you. I have no addition to this masterpiece. |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by LegendHero(m): 12:58am On May 08, 2020 |
Jetleeeee:God bless you bro. I don't know why some Yoruba think we should condemn one of us just for the sake of politics. Check other tribes, they vote one way, sometimes giving their own 90% of the votes but the Yorubas like playing politics of intellectuals like Nigeria is USA. C'mon, the Yorubas could play politics of division within the state, but anytime we are talking about Federal election we all have to queue behind someone like other tribes because Nigeria is a very improper democracy. If Oladeji245 like he can vote against APC within the state or detest Tinubu, it is his right. However at the centre, we must not make any mistake of sabotaging anybody that is putting the Yorubas in the national sphere. We have been in opposition for too long, we gotta try being at the centre and see if this will be better than what we have always been. Yoruba ronu o! |

LegendHero:I’m all for tinubu 100% The current Igbo aggression on him simply means he’s doing something right for yoruba interest I hope he contest in 2023 I and my entire village will support him When election comes I know all Yorubas will forget their differences and support him |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by Nobody: 1:07am On May 08, 2020 |
LegendHero:Apt!! We can only play liberal in a place where others are thinking like us. These other groups are clannish as hell. Yorubas need to start playing the same game as them. P.S: We have some stuff being cooked. I'll tag you soon bro. I just need to collect a few more names. |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by Osaze007: 1:08am On May 08, 2020 |
Jetleeeee:I trust yorubas to deliver 100% for tinubu |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by Nobody: 1:14am On May 08, 2020 |
At the same time though, I feel like we shouldn't treat those who disagree or don't like the man as outcasts. We shouldn't encourage binary thinking. If everyone thinks the same way, there won't be development. That diversity of thought is healthy and necessary. As long as name-calling isn't involved We just need to let them know why it's important for us to put aside our differences and support him |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by Nobody: 1:15am On May 08, 2020 |
Osaze007:Hopefully. We need to stand behind him |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by gidgiddy: 1:16am On May 08, 2020 |
obaaderemi:You people make me laugh. Joining UNPO? An organisation that Ogonis joined way back in the 90's? You can join all the organisations in the world but what shows how serious you are about self determination and and independence is the agitation on the ground. Where is your agitation? In a file at UNPO's head office? What have you done to show anyone you are serious? The people you are comparing your self with have fought a war of independence, formed several organisations such as IPOB and MASSOB that have galvanised the people, protested, campaigned and sensitised. But your proud achievement is that you registered with UNPO? Go and sleep man, self determination is for serious people. |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by Osaze007: 1:20am On May 08, 2020 |
gidgiddy:So UNPo is all you can say your a mumu |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by Osaze007: 1:20am On May 08, 2020 |
Oladeji245:You can create a separate thread for that |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by leokid866: 1:39am On May 08, 2020 |
Oladeji245:The three years obj used to denie lagos of federal allocation is a lie too abi.....cause that one is general knowledge. |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by leokid866: 1:44am On May 08, 2020 |
Osaze007:If he is on the ballot I don't care where or what I am doing i have promised myself I must be in Nigeria to vote for the Man.....even if it's not him but any other Yoruba man....2023 must happen for us. |
| Re: For Yorubas: What Is Our Long Term Goal by Nobody: 2:33am On May 08, 2020 |
Jetleeeee:That's why I call that Oladeji245 a fraud. Which politically 'woke' Yoruba, aware of the reality of Nigeria as you correctly stated it, is ignorant of what you wrote in bold above? Igbos are ready to vote Kanu 100% today if the lunatic is allowed to run in a Nigerian election. Imagine that !! Igbos remain ready to support a maniac who is a hate-monger and propagandists of the highest order. The North will still always back Atiku healthily despite his infamy as one of the most destructively corrupt politicians to ever emerge from Nigeria at the federal level. Tinubu is way better than all of them. We should now abandon him for what reason when others support their own worthless leaders blindly, because those people are all they have, in the race to control/influence the Centre in Nigeria. This is why Yorubas give Wole Soyinka short shrift as per his political leanings and utterances. We respect him but know his views and utterances about politics, while forthright, are naive, incongruous with the reality of Nigeria and ultimately only capable of turning Yorubas into nonentities in the power tussle against others in the "nest of killers"... Soyinka's very own words to describe PDP and effectively Nigeria. No one needs to teach a 'woke' Yoruba any of these things we are saying. |

Even Awolowo had fierce rivals within Yorubaland (with many being his former political associates even). By 1983, UPN had lost Oyo and Ondo (though it later regained Ondo via the courts), before the coup that ushered in Buhari struck. The situation is kinda like what you find with Kanu and igbos online. The support that Nnamdi Kanu enjoys amongst Igbos online is reflective of the widespread support he enjoys on the ground. Fine, not every igboman supports Kanu, but I would argue that even those ones that don't support him have one or two areas where they agree with him. Yorubas may not agree with Kanu or even dislike his methods, but when it comes down to numbers, that guy has the 'street credibility' amongst regular everyday igbos, moreso online. It is what it is. I don't support you getting attacked for not supporting Tinubu, but that is just reflective of how unpopular your position is amongst mainstream Yorubas.
