Igbos are rejected everywhere and by everyone. This is just a pathetic attempt to drag Yoruba down to Igbo-sewage level. This cannot work because Igbos remain Yoruba wives from now till eternity. We will fvck you whenever and wherever we please. Keep opening useless threads up and down. It will only do one thing: continue to stiffen our resolve to make sure that your survival and progress is entirely in our hands.

Silly ipob spresding hate....who built the first class palm royal hotel in Benin? Or Warri?

MuchAdo:


At least we were willing to let them go...

What about the Eastern region that NEVER dared give it a thought despite the agitations from minorities until the FG forcefully dismembered the yeast in 1967...

Awolowo never build Palm Royal hotel in Benin Barrister Jude Nosagie is the founder of PRH, there is no Palm Royal hotel in Warri, the politics in the west in the first republic was quite controversial with sundry narratives woven around ethnicity, Chief Awolowo’s dictatorship and inter-personal squabbles. Western region had four major crisis, Belewa later declared state of emergency in Western Region, Eastern region was calm every tribe was carried along, it was mid of Nigeria/Biafra War Nigeria government and British started Smear campaign against Igbos to the minorities, that if Biafra succeed they will marginalize them, after the war Nigeria government and British manipulated some minority groups, bribed students Union leaders from minorities who later protested to be separated from eastern region before it was divided by Gowon, it was oil politics, there was never referendum in old eastern region, Nigeria government then later compensated those union leaders with key positions.

.

was there a Yoruba nation/ consciousness before 1950? Did the sub-nationalities, namely, the Ijebus, the Ijeshas, the Ekiti, the Oyo, Egbas, and Egbados among others see themselves as one people? No! As Ade Ajayi and Samuel Akintoye rightly observed, “By 1800, though the Yoruba, were one people they were not always conscious of themselves as such” (emphasis mine). There were sub-national rivalries among the peoples of western Nigerian. Beginning from the 1800 onwards, the old Oyo was under pressure from the Fulanis in the north and Dahomey hordes from the west against a much earlier rebellion by General Afonja. The threat of the Ilorin forces led to an exodus of the peoples of old Oyo mainly southwards. This led to the emergence of new settlements, namely, Ibadan, Ijaye and Abeokuta among others. Sub-national rivalries further engendered the sixteen years war (1877-1893) in which the Ibadan and Ekitiparapo, Ijebu, and Egba forces were major players which ended with British pacification of yorubaland. From 1861 British took control of the Lagos colony and subsequently the entire south west. Without British colonization, it is probable, as indicated by the shifting alliances and treaties, that the Yoruba people would have on the basis of treaty evolved into multiple nation-states as a parallel to the Westphalia Treaty of 1648 which resolved the thirty years war in Europe.

As an outcome, the Ekitiparapo, Ibadan, Ijebu and possibly Egba would have emerged as independent nations. However, old wounds of war nurtured distrust and fear of domination among the various sub-nationalities of the people. As not by Richard joseph, what “remained unresolved through Pax Britannica, and after a quarter of a century of independent government, was the absence of stable hegemony among the Yoruba dating back to the collapse of the Oyo Empire and the subsequent stalemating of a new political suzerainty centered on Ibadan. That the Yoruba continue to live through their history in the present is often culturally magnificent but also politically catastrophic.”
This absence of a ‘stable hegemony’ manifested itself in the 1950 All-Nigerian Conference on constitutional future of the country held in Ibadan. Chief Obafemi Awolowo, one of the founders of the Egbe Omo Oduduwa, did not miss the lessons of that conference. He observed, to quote John Mackintosh that “the performance of the people of the Western Region at the Regional and General conference for the review of the Richards Constitution had shown that they were unorganized and lacking in concerted programme and effective leadership.” Mackintosh further noted that Chief Awolowo qualified the outcome as “a wretched compromise between federalism and unitarism.” Indeed, the three regions bigoted in terms of preservation of their respective regional solidarities and cohesions, endorsed regional legislature and executives with variation on jurisdictional ambit of the new structure. However, the east wanted a strong central legislature which could wed the three regions together and the north wanted a weak central legislature while the colonial governor-general held the veto.

Exploitation from Yoruba leaders didn't start today.

The Agbekoya rebellion which began in September 1968 rose from the bowels of these dynamics. By 1968 in the words of Williams, “the farmers saw themselves as exploited and oppressed by a government that refused to pay fair prices for their cocoa, sent corrupt officials to prosecute them, denied them the benefits and amenities that they had been promised, demanded higher and higher taxes, and now added a series of further tax demands when the farmers simply did not earn enough to meet their existing obligations.”

The outcome was easily predictable. Revolts spread through Ibadan, Egba, Remo, Ijebu, and the Osun divisions. And as noted Williams, “The arrest of tax defaulters was the main spark for attacks on the authorities. In several cases the oba’s palaces were attacked and burnt down because they had allegedly called for the soldiers to assist tax collections, and in some cases, they had embezzled public funds. Attempts at intercession by the Governor and the Olubadan provided fruitless; Ibadan farmers shouted them as ole [thieves].”

The Agbekoya rebellion was in a sense a rebellion against the exploitative nature of class rule and the logic of capitalism.

I think someone close to this man needs to watch him closely.



Use all these negative energy that you are using online to peddle propaganda against a whole ethnic group to improve your life.

All your efforts can NOT detract from the greatness of the Yoruba ethnic group.





1) The majority of the people (89.1%) voted to have their own State. QED


2) Was 'Voting against Yorubas' on the ballot?



3) Did the people of Abia State hate the People of Old Imo State when they demanded for their own State?

4) Does it mean the people of Enugu State were against the people of Anambra when they demanded to be given their own State.


Is self determination to gain autonomy equal to HATRED?

post=89806546:
89.1 % from mid-west voted against western region, well in excess of the required 60%

And what's the big deal in this post?


European Kingdoms fought greater and more destructive wars against each other for longer periods.

The various Greek City States waged wars against each other.

The City State of Sparta nearly anhilated the City State of Athens.



The Germanic States; Prussia, Austria and Bavaria fought brutal wars against each other until the dissolutions of the Holy Roman Empire of the German People and formation of the German Confederacy of the Rhine.
The events of the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire led to the First World war.

The various English Kings/Houses fought bitter civil war.
The Season film 'A game of thrones' was largely inspired by the rivalry between The House of Lancaster (The Lannisters) Vs The House of York (The Starks).

In the Middle East, the Banu Hashem, The Al-Rashid, The Al-Hussein and Al-Saud fought bitter wars that led the Hashemites being routed out of their ancestrial homes in Mecca to establish the royal Dynasties in Iraq, Syria and Jordan.

The ultimate victory after two hundred years of internecine warfare of the Al-Saud led to the formation of Mamluk Al-Saudiya Al-Arabiya a.k.a The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932.


# Summary: What happened in Yorubaland in the 18th-19th century also happen in other parts of the civilized world.

Only primitive tribal societies whose political organizations didn't evolve beyond the village level with no known great kingdoms or Empire and Standing Armies didn't pass through such stages.

Main reason Mid-west asked for referendum to be separated from Western region, they also used their common wealth in developing western states most expecially Ibadan in the 60s, During this period newspaper articles written by AG loyalists appeared in which various ethnic groups of the proposed Midwest were warned of “Benin domination.” In the smear campaign, designed to derail Midwest unity, rumors were spread about how certain posts were going to be dominated by “Benin.”

Your post has zero substance.

So ethnic minorities got 30% of the ministerial positions of the old western region when they didn't even represent up to 30% of the population? Isn't that essentially overrepresentation? What a pathetic attempt to show that Yorubas are tribalist!

It was only logical that the midwestern region was created because it gave them 100% control of their own affairs rather than share a government with the larger Yoruba entity. It's the same way the Old Eastern region was carved into East central for Igbos and Rivers and Cross river for minority groups.

Kwashiman:

The original name was Aboh actually before it was changed.

There is Aboh ad there is Agbor
Both are different.
Aboh is closer to Urhobo people and ijaws while Agbor is closer to Benin people and ishan people. The both are in present Delta state.

From the list of the referendum
Agbor was under Asaba

Igbo are really shadowy.. What is the population and landmass of edo and delta which was Midwest compared to yoruba. Now compare rivers, cross river, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom population and land mass against Igbos' and ask urself who was marginalizing who among the 2.

Can you defend the below statement ?

Yoruba had 4 states in the 60s While minorities had 2, yet got 7 high position out of 23

While in your region

You igbos had just 3 states and minorities had 4 and the only got 9 out of total 26.

Come and defend your hypocrisy.

Sunshineg5:
Call them whatever you want but know Igbos in delta today were never under delta or warri division..

They were always grouped as Edo

Lies. Asaba(6 lgas) today was under Benin division while Aboh (3 lgas) was under Warri division.

Yujin:

Lies. Asaba(6 lgas) today was under Benin division while Aboh (3 lgas) was under Warri division.

Ok Asaba 6 local government was under Benin division that had 4 ministry all under Edo

And Warri which had 2 ministry under Ishekiri and Isoko.

Sammy07:


Remember to put.
In West.
4 Yoruba states and 2 none Yoruba states.

In East.
3 Igbo states and 3 non Igbos.
They out numbered Igbos in populations

Lòl. Another Yoruba lies. Thanks to Willinks Commission. The population of Igbos to the minorities in the old eastern region was in ratio 3:1.

Common sense should have told you that at least one Igbo should have been made a minister because they had a big population but we know already the ill-will your people had for them.

Igbos are the greatest tribalists and nepotistic people to walk the face of the earth.
Imagine a bigger minority land been given meagre 9 out of 26.

No wonder the SS is frightened of being associated with the Igbos.

I kept wondering how long throated Igbos were to even become the first VCs and Rector of UI,UNILAG and Yabatech respectively when we had more educated Yorubas.

Igboland is still backward till date.I am happy that Zik was shown the right way back to Igboland,he would have introduced otokoto to the West long since and the legacies and development Yorubaland had,would have been inhibited by Igbo ritualists who have recently exported otokoto and okija ritualists to Yorubaland.

Why wasn't ibibio & ikwere made minister of the Eastern region? Even as Anang were given two slots

Osadebe was a NCNC man and played opposition to AG in those years Awolowo was the premier of west.

Just like Ibibio had their own party had played opposition to NCNC in the East.

Do you want Awolowo to manufacture Igbo in AG to give ministries. In the Benin region, only Edos were members of AG

In the Warri region, Only Ishekiris and Isoko were members of AG.

This is a clear definition of marginalisation...

A VIVID case of robbing Peter to pay poor...

Igbos with less land and less resources gave the minorities 9 out of 26.
