You world will rise and fall with the attachment to Buhari's coat tails.

In the nick of time, you will leave the fool's paradise where the supposition that the world begins and ends with Buhari is the party song...

You are not spiteful yet you gained global infamy in your conduct on Jonathan.

Poor Jonathan! He crossed the red line by choosing against conventional wisdom to allow the Igbos some elbow room.

Certain people threw away the little pretension they had been putting up. They unleashed the
full gamut of their base instincts.

But to what end? Only to feed from crumbs...

Crumbs of being the most prosperous region versus you region which the World bank describes as having "concentrated poverty"

I would choose those crumbs anyday
Dangote refinery is more like a bakery than a crumb
Lagos Ibadan rail a very big crumb

May we first know what Awolowo gained for himself and for you guys by operating as the original Yoruba demon in supervising over the genocidal killing of over three million people during his stint as Gowon's number two for over 8 years?

Deep down they know they have nothing to say and come up with all kinds of absurdities.

There is no escaping the fact that they were happy when GEJ was in power and took every opportunity to ridicule the Yoruba

https://www.nairaland.com/745731/yoruba-marginalization-elders-met-jonathan


We never heard of IPOB then.

Now they want to pretend that their hatred is about 2013 when in reality it is something they are all breastfed from infancy that they lost the Biafra war because of Yoruba. That is why they voted Tofa against Abiola. Tofa whom no one knew before 1993.
Stella Oduah became a minister and sacked every senior Yoruba insight they think we are ad daft as they are. They talk we act let us see......

Lol. Igbos have suffered sha. Talk about internet Hari Kari. Igbos really effed up with that hatefest Nairaland thread that is now recorded on the web for posterity.

Anytime an Igbo wants to deny they are haters just produce that link asap. Comical yet fitting and eternal epitaph for Igbos who hate first and think later.

The major problem between IBO and Yoruba is Lagos. the IBO's are trying to claimed or dominate Lagos( the commercial center) from the Yorubas because of their business acumen. they want to control Lagos right from the days of Louis ojukwu, who was a business merchant, Azikiwe try to control it, to the extend he rejected secession plan introduced by awolowo. because he feared awolowo will secede with Lagos. aguyi ironsi also try to control Lagos by implementing decree 34, just to hold on to Lagos. emeka ojukwu also try to invade Lagos during the war, after annexing Niger Delta. And the present generation of IBO youth still see Lagos as no mans land, the day IBO's will have access to sea for their business, that is the day IBO and Yoruba animosity will end.

The concept of aristocracy or monarchy is outdated in this day and age. A country like Nigeria shouldn’t be subjected to being “ruled” anymore by anyone.

We’re in a democracy, what Nigeria needs is adequate governance. An elected government should run the country not rule it!

jacksonkennedy:
In 1914, Lord Lugard amalgamated 2 regions (not 3). Fast-forward to 1940, the 2 regions have been split to 3 because of shallowness of our southern leaders. By 1964, the south has split further to 3 regions, making the north stronger and more powerful.

All these happened because of Igbo Vs yoruba rivalry. But why the rivalry?

Let me ask Igbos

Do you think Azikiwe would not have accepted Gowon's offer to keep the east in Nigeria and fight the yorubas in exchange for presidency? Really? The same Azikiwe that was carrying one Nigeria on his head? Why blame Awolowo and yorubas for what you know Azikiwe would have done?


Did Obasanjo (the only yoruba man so far to be president) not carry igbos along?

Did many igbos not vote APC in 2015 and 2019? So why make it seem only yoruba voted buhari when many Nigerians were yearning for change.

Did Atiku and Obi not win 47% votes of South West even when our son Osinbajo was on ballot plus massive APC rigging?

Let me ask yorubas

Will you love igbos and sing their praise if it was you that lost 3 million people in their hands? Remember that those 3 million people were not involved in the politics that led to the war.

Did Igbos not give over 40% of their votes to Abiola in 1993? Why blame them for what happened to Abiola? Was Earnest Shonekan not the president after Abiola? What did he do to bring us justice? Was Oladipo Diya not Abacha's VP? What did he do to correct the injustice?

Did igbos not vote en mass for Obasanjo in 2003 when they could have gone with Buhari and their son Okadigbo?

Has yorubas not accommodated igbos in the west? And have igbos not proven to be reasonable neighbors?

Why do we hate each other so much and can't even push a common agenda since 1914? What exactly did we do to each other that was so bad and unthinkable?

I need reasonable comments here. I don't need anybody to come here to analyze my ethnicity

You simply cannot ask question and give narrative on what you think answer will be. You have tried to get away with murder. Azikiwe will not accept any presumptive offer of presidency of Nigeria to fight western region while Gowon and his fellow northern marauders who killed the son of the soil in Enugu still hang around in Onicha. At the point Gowon's northern elements in the army are attacking the western region, his stay in the eastern region should be termed over.

Mynd.44 I don't care if you ban me but I will post this.



They will leave their regions to Lagos, Lagos is their Paradise. Most of them don't even speak their mother tongue, all their children speak is English. When last did you celebrated Christmas and new year in your hometown. Do you even remember the road to your hometown. Some of them will claim that it is their great grand fathers money that was used to build Lagos, ehn go back to your states and leave Lagos alone for us now.
Some will say that Nigeria is zoo and that they ate going to "whatever". Mr man leave our zoo for us go back to your state.


Didn't your governors, senators, house of reps, local government chairmen, councillors, collect allocation and revenue? All the money that they collected, what did they used them for? You cry about marginalisation restructuring, when your people were in power what were they doing there? Guys like ike ekweremadu? Guys like peter obi? And so on and so on.


There are poor and rich people everywhere, no doubt about that. But you too go and develop your region and stop claiming that Lagos belongs to you.

Many pictures of Aba shows dirty streets littered with filth and stench. Buy brooms for your oeole and sweep them clean.
Even that reminds me, you usually post picture of Ibadan with brown rooftops, telling them to do something about it. Success in life is not the house that you built, it is the positive impact that you have in the lives of people around you. Your children, how you bring them up. That what success is, not big building and your children are cocaine pushers, prostitut.es and whatever.

Good people are every where, but its the bad eggs that spoiled the good ones.

Anybody who has the similar stream of thought as expressed in the above post is a typical Nigerian and one of the reasons Nigeria is a backwater. It was not long ago your father, brothers, uncles and aunties joined the northern region of Nigeria to prosecute a war of attrition against Ndigbo and Biafrans who wanted nothing do with Lagos and Nigeria. It very silly to read from a person whose forbearers fought to keep Ndigbo and Biafrans in Lagos and Nigeria. What do you really want from Ndigbo and Biafrans?

Traditional Tripod? What is that? You exaggerate your importance.
Gentleman Agreement?

Who were the parties and when was this signed
Your psychology is funny because there is no more glaring case of self deception

So the argument is that Yoruba are the biggest obstacle to an Igbo presidency?
The biggest obstacle is the Igbos themselves. Next to that is the Hausa/Fulani who will never let it happen.
The Yoruba position is we are your competitors anytime the position comes south we will compete just like Ekwueme did but if you were not cowards the greater share of your hatred should be for the Hausa/Fulani
Instead you "identify with the aggressor" a pitiable case of Stockholm Syndrome.

Your imagined gentleman agreement is another of your infantile fantasies. There is no Tripod. You are not that important to anyone

Your task is to convince other Nigerians that the can trust you more than the Yoruba.
Surely that is a minor thing for the great Igbo people?

Most Nigerians have weird stream of thought. In every scenario pertaining to Nigeria/Biafra war, Yoruba and defunct western region of Nigeria are the aggressors as the defunct northern region of Nigeria. It is a very deceitful shenanigan in attempt to exonerate a group from commission of act by accusing their opponent of Stockholm Syndrome.

Do you expect me to read the craps previously posted on Nairaland by intellectual midgets such as you? Probably the crap came from Nowa Omogui's series or persons such as Orobator which the narrators could not proffer answer. Again it is stark idiocy to write goofy stuffs with no identifier. There were two major massacres noted during Ngeria/Biafra war. They are the Asaba and Ogba-Egbema massacres. Biafrans identified the units of Nigerian army which committed the offences. The Asaba massacre was committed by the elements of 8th Brigade of 2nd Division, Nigerian army under the command of Major Ibrahim Taiwo. The Ogba-Egbema massacre was carried out by the elements of 15th Brigade of 3MCDO, Nigerian army commanded Major Ola Makanjuola. There is a disturbing partner in the senseless act of genocide by the certain elements of Nigerian army during the war. The troops that perpetrated these acts of inhumanity against fellow humans were mostly Yoruba or led by a Yoruba commander.

A true leader puts his life up for his people. It was his cause to go to war, you don’t put 3 million lives at risk to fight your cause only to chicken out when things don’t go your way, that reeks of cowardice and selfishness.

https://www.nairaland.com/745731/yoruba-marginalization-elders-met-jonathan

We supported Jonathan with our votes in 2011 so we could " cry wolf " after the election. Buhari did not get 25% in a single Yoruba state in 2011
We did that for exclusive wolf crying rights

That makes a lot of IboSense

Jonathan is not Igbo but why was there no IPOB when he was in power?

I know Yari.ba peeps can spew outlandish craps to look relevant. In a previous page, you labeled a group of people as sufferers of "Stockholm Syndrome" and on this page accuse the same group of people of being abusive.
