what do you mean by yorubas are abominable down south? Pls, stop promoting needles bigotry. The South is as superficial as the entity called Nigeria

Who the Igbo man can't dominate, he won't like.. but they forget that you can't dominate someone more intelligent than you are.

We'll keep reminding them that they are the cause of Nigeria's woes today whether they like it or not. I wonder why History was removed from our school curriculum.

Presidency is going to Southwest come 2023. Hausa as VP.

Looking at Osinbajo/Zulum. Good choice

For your dreams, how many sensitive position have they giving to yoruba man in this administration or Osinbajo that cannot attend top security meeting. North don't give out power like that.

1. North have rule Nigeria for more than 40 years
2. Yoruba 11 years
3. Igbo less than 2 years.

Dear diplomat guy, you see exactly what I am pointing at.

The mere mention of Biafra will have palisades of Yoruba vagrants lurching for ur neck.

Diplomat, the yoruba want Nigeria, liked it as it is and will die for Nigeria even if it turns to a Zoo.

Mention Biafra and see hordes of hellbent Yorubas attack you. I've made enemies on this forum, I ve layered straits of curses on this forum. All the venom was from the yoruba. All because of Biafra.

I find it hard to believe that there is a strong willed Yoruba influential enough to convince his own people about the need for secession. I am most likely to get my Dog to talk than see that kind of Yoruba individual
Well, your conclusion reeks of hasty generalization induced by bigotry of mindset. Many Igbos on this forum too hardly discuss Biafra without calling Yorubas sorts of derogatory names, but I don't use their shameful dispositions to conclude that the Igbos are antithetical to Yoruba progress. This is especiall of Nnamdi KANU who always calls Yorubas hateful names on radio Biafra

We can still analyze history here on nairaland. A certain Pazienza is digging out old reports, we need more people from different tribes to do same, we can analyze from different points of view and come to a final conclusion...maybe dissolution!

Well, the choice of Buhari wasn't irrational, to me, in 2015. GEJ performed below expectations and people decided to try Buhari. You know the rigidity of his tenure in the '80s also helped give credence to the APC campaign narrative that Buhari would stamped out corruption, and it worked of course. You can't deter people from exercising their rights of choice.

Besides, the SW is a liberal region, not conservative like many others. The voting ratio was 60:40 in favour of Buhari, but you guys don't talk about the 40% at all. That is prejudice, I think.

And you and I are not zoo inhabitants

Ore,this pretence ain't gonna anyone any good.
If you can eulogize Buhari like this,why did you open such a thread?

No. It's not bigotry darling. It's the reality.

Unless you are new here, which is I suspect, all the voracious attackers of biafra here are the Yorubas. Check the Biafran threads here, any critic of Biafra has a Ypruba monikers or known yoruba affiliations.


So, I still conclude that my dog has the greatest chance at forming five word syllables than an influential Yoruba convincing his people on the need to secede from Nigeria.

The yorubas like Nigeria as it is. And why is that? It could all be a primal fear of venturing into the unknown. They, the Yorubas and her affiliates , would rather stick to familiar grounds

The igbos won't criticize Azikiwe for his roles to undermine true federalism. Instead they would call Awolowo names like tribal bigot, etc. for refusing to surrender his region and people to Igbo slavery under Nnamdi Azikiwe.

Ironsi did not abolish regional government but Gowon did that and created 12 states. Azikiwe is politician that played politics according to his own time 80 years ago. What prevented 11 years of yoruba presidency from reversing all those things and make Nigeria a better place or Northern rule of more than 40 years. Stop blaming event of 70 years ago as your own problem.

Yoruba can die for one Nigeria and have no alternative. It is only Igbo man that have the courage to survive without Nigeria.

Courage indeed!

Northern youths gave you lots quit notice but guess what.. instead of packing your bags and baggages with pride back to Onitsha and the likes, your governors, elders, monarchs etc. all went begging, prostrating to every notherner they see be it old or young just to allow Igbos remain in North.

Yorubas threatened you lots small in Lagos during the last elections, you all closed shops and hid in your rented apartments from fear of the unknown.

Till I see igbos proudly leaving other regions to the East, I won't take your rants serious.

@OP.

Yorubas are 'loaded', with no weak links whatsoever, as per candidates who can become President in 2023.

Let us focus on that for now because achieving it will sort out a lot of developmental problems for the SW and Nigeria.

Let's not make the mistake of overthinking what is essentially simply and straightforward to then go and sabotage our own salvation.

This is precisely the main problem the Igbos have with the Yorubas from time immemorial till date.

This is why the most toxic of their vitriol and hate is reserved for Yorubas. We don't care though because pleasing Igbos is the last thing on the mind of a well-Calibrated Yoruba man.

I don't understand you again. In what way is my statement fallacious? It is a well known fact that Azikiwe conspired with the NPC to form a coalition government in 1959, and the marriage between NNA and UPGA ( NCNC and the remnants of AG) in 1964. Also, the unification decree 34 infamously laid the coffee for the progressive region-based federalism before Gowon finally buried it in 1967. I still don't know why Awo couldn't resign from Gowon's government in protest though

Well, all the leaders have the blame to share. In one way or the other, they all contributed to the poo this nation is in now. Are you saying that there was no unification decree 34 which attempted to impose a unitary system in Nigeria. That, effectively, prepared the groundwork for Gowon's unitary federalism that we are operating today. Obasanjo, to me, remains a write off.

In actual FACT, most yorubas don't give a rat. arse about your flippin' biafra. Although, we are quiet aware that when you do get your da.mn biafra, you will still need to come and hustle in our land whilst the few ibos in yorubaland surely would not relocate back to their Biafra.

then, they will start claiming, ibo lagosian, yoruba-ibo 'cause they have been living in yorubaland for 3 generations.

The sad reality is that ibos are the ones who need nigeria most and not the other way round.
