In the north, candidates had been intimidated and prevented from registering. President Azikiwe tried to postpone the elections, but Balewa held them anyway. Despite a partial boycott of the elections by the UPGA, the NNA alliance between the NPC and Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP), gained only a slim majority. Azikiwe at first refused to ask Balewa to form a cabinet, but after a power struggle that lasted a few days he agreed on condition that Balewa's government be broad-based, and that fresh elections be held in the regions where the boycott had taken effect.

Less than 3 southern minorities

Respect man.

Hausa, Yoruba and Ibo just grab everything for themselves. Thank God for states creation. It liberated minorities from the shackles of the 3 major ethnic groups.

TheGodlessGod:
Less than 3 southern minorities

Less than two, infact only one Okotie

Fatherofdragons:


O pls hush. You yorobers are entirely something else, in your thread you insulted ipob members by posting a picture of pigs flying around yet you talk about insults.

You have absolutely no moral grounds to scold someone else of insults.

Typical yorober, accuse someone else of the same thing you do all the time in your language. Most respectful tribe indeed.

Okay father of dragons

ThatFairGuy:

Learn to post without insult. Let Biafrans be seen as responsible people for once please

I can't help but marvel at the gross amount of hypocrisy displayed in this post of yours.

Go look at the mirror man and tell me what you see.

The Internet has really reduced media propaganda in Nigeria today unlike the days of paper news full of lies.

Good job.

Lubumbashi:

Don't mind all these Ipob people. The generation of Cain. Fugitive and vagabond generation.
They are a curse to any place occupies. Internet fraudsters, kidnappers, international and local Ashewo, etc.

Op you go wait tire oo.

Going by the nature of the average Yoruba, they will not smell this thread but will still go ahead and post the lies again after people must have forgotten.

Just watch in the next two to three months or even years, they'll post those lies again to deceive the gullible. Such is the nature of the yoruba man.

And to think that I almost believed the initial thread

Thanks for this.

Ekwutox:
And to think that I almost believed the initial thread

Thanks for this.

please bro always verify things post here before believing because many Nigerian politicians have created media group, people like Tinubu in other to foster there 2023 Election. They will do anything to use propaganda to suppress any southerners they think will be obstacles to their 2023. why do you think Orji Uzo Kalu was jailed by Tinubu Oando Judge who left his jurisdiction to make sure Orji Uzo Kalu was jailed.

I think we should even stop dis madness....it's killing me....we ndi Igbo shouldn't talk much....I am even vexing cos of dis

my brother, its really pathetic the kind of lies and propaganda coming out from certain quaurters. One in another thread stated that igbos did not vote for Abiola during the election and it got me shaking my head. Was in Enugu that year and i know for sure that Abioja got more than 80 percent of Igbo votes. Some elements are jst hell bent on making sure the Yorubas and the Igbo are not politically united. It leaves one begging for answers on who and what region or group stands to gain and has been gaining from the impasse. I urge u guys to wake up and unite!

Chikelue2000:

So we should allow our name to be rubbished like they did for years ?

Tafawa Balewa, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Obafemi Awolowo are the 3 musketeers who sought for independence from British rule for their own selfish agendas, they wanted their snouts in the trough and till this day, their progeny will never know poverty.

I said it before and I'm still saying it ,if you want to die young, listen to a Yoruba man ,men those people can lie and if lying is a criterion for not making heaven ,non of them will smell heaven ..... no wonder they are confuse people ,they will go to mosque on Friday ,go to Alfa on Saturday and still go to church on Sunday and someone wants me to share country with these people.....the reason why buhari govt failed woefully is because Yorubas are part of his govt

dignity33:
counter them with facts because there work is to use fake and propaganda to lead that is why Buhari regime is full of Yahoo men.

Kai....the abuse they poured on top our heads in that other dceptive thread no get part two! They basically parked all Nigerias' problems at our doormouth!

Why was my posts removed? These yorobers are so sensitive that they can't handle it when the hate they dish out is being redirected to them.

They had to call the mods to their rescue while the other thread they opened is filled their hatred for igbos.

I'll keep on saying it, peddling lies and falsehood is the second nature of yorobers after cowardice and back stabbing.

Descendants of hate turned adults of bitterness.

Thank God for the internet
