Take it or leave it Igbos will never and never be the president of this country without the support of the Yoruba’s. Funny enough Yoruba’s don’t need them to actualize our Presidential ambition cause there are just mere 5%!

Y’all Igbos need to learn politics without hatred! No one gives a fuvk about U.

God bless y’all
the south the east and the middlebelt will never support a Yoruba presidency even the north will not trust me

They think they are too wise while others are too daft.. that is their problem.

U Sud be concerned about igbo plight coz u can never rule Nigeria....

U can't even get Biafra... So u lost in two ways gringrin

They are simply obsessed with Yorubas and could not see logs in their own eyes and the terrible situation they are in.

1. Why do we hate Tinubu? What for?
2. Tinubu never worked with federal or

Ndi Igbo.
He never worked as Minister or taken any
Federal Appointment!
3. He never joined APGA let alone sabotaging
our Party's interest?
4. Tinubu didn't meddle in Igbo internal affairs
either!
5. Why do we call him thief? What did he
steal?
6. We call Yoruba "slaves". We never reflect
on what it means to be slaves in the true
sense of the word.
7. We are putting mouth in Lagos politics
without caution, yet we have a proverb that
says it is the foolish housefly that follows the
corpse into the grave.
8. Can Yoruba man become an Association or
Local Government Chairman in the East? Let
us be sincere with ourselves. Yet we enjoy all
these privileges here including Assembly
Membership!
9. Why asking for what we can't give?
10. We are here helping the "slaves" to
develop their land. Who then is a slave?
10b. You call their city a no man's land so
that we can further be enslaved slaving to
develop it, and our generations are wasted
gloating over mere privileges. Who is a slave.
Do we actually think?
11. Can Yoruba tell Okorocha "o to gee" in
Owerri? He doesn't even need it. He is too
intelligent to die for a pot of ofe manu or
nothing.
12. After the civil war, for many of us who
were old enough to have witnessed it, the
Yoruba were the first to open their arms to
receive and accept us as we were, crude
savages in search for means of survival. It
was regardless of what we equally did to
them before and during the civil war. No party
to the civil war was innocent! I also remember
not paying any rent among Yoruba guys
without a penny for my first 3years in Lagos
and another 2 years in Ibadan.
13. Can we survive Yoruba attack in Yoruba
land if they actually mean to? Will an Mbaise
man cooperate with the Nsukka or Afikpo, or
the Imo with Anambara?
14. If we all decide to relocate at once,
Babangida send me home phenomena is still
in the memory of some of us who survived the
incessant and uncontrollable spate of robbery
across the Onitsha bridge. How many people
will want to go in spide of our empty pride?
15. If Yoruba people are as foolish as we
foolishly think, why agitating? How will
agitating be to our benefit?
16. Why not "O to gee" in Abia, Enugu or
Owerri?
17. Can a man from Aba become a
Commissioner or P.S. in Enugu State Civil
Service? Yet it happened here! Why not be
careful.
18. We adopted APGA and but "wisely" voted
PDP. How was Tinubu our headache. Was he
the cause of our downfall? Why always blame
others for our inabilities and want to take glory
for any small thing we think we have done
well and even overblow it?
19. We claim we were so creative during the
civil war. Now history. We also claim every
made in Nigeria is from Aba. But go to Oyo
and Oshogbo to see what "lazy" mechanics
are doing quietly in the automobile industry,
yet we make noise that other ethnics are
either mumu or lazy except we (alagbara ma
mero baba ole; the most hardworking humans
who cannot develop their own land
unfortunately).
20. Why looking for avoidable problem? Why?
21. It was you in the North being attacked, in
Malaysia being killed, in Gabon and Ghana
being molested. 99.9% of Nigerians killed in
South Africa are of Igbo extraction, and
sometimes by fellow 'hardworking' Igbo. Why?
22. We choose Kanu and he dictates to us
without consultation with any one of us. They
choose Tinubu who becomes a hero among
them by bowing to or adopting the choice of
their majority. Why are we angry?
We choose Azikwe and they choose Awolowo.
How are they more mumuish followers than
ourselves?
Zik became a president and we gained from
it, Awo was only a premier, but we are only
struggling to beat their records in all
ramifications including education till today.
How are they mumus?
We choose APGA and they choose APC, why
agitating?
Yoruba are yet to say Tinubu is their problem
why do we want to die for nothing?
Why working in APGA but planning to collect
salaries in APC?
I pray for the success of Biafra, but do we still
remember that as Igbo we will automatically
become foreigners on the streets of the Lagos
we call a no Man's land?
How many of us will actually want to relocate
home, should Biafra actualises or if if
citizenship is on the condition that you
relinquish all other citizenship in Africa? I
leave that answer to the individual.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF HATRED BETWEEN IGBO AND YORUBA

I had the privilege of attending some meetings of the Yoruba and Igbo Leaders. I was not a leader but a youth who knew how to wash his hands.

At one of those meetings in Owerri, I think in 1989, I think, I listened to Uncle Bola Ige and other Yoruba Leaders take the likes of Mbakwe, R. B. Okafor and others to the cleaners when the Igbo said the Yoruba were betrayers, citing that Chief Obafemi Awolowo led them into secession with a promise that if the Igbo left Nigeria, the Yoruba would follow suit.

They accused him of not following up on his promise. Trust Uncle Bola Ige! He pointed to Chief Mbakwe and said, "you were there in the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu as I was. Is that statement correct?".He turned to two other Igbo and two Yoruba Leaders who were at that meeting and asked the same question, saying he had transcripts of the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu.

They kept quiet while the Yoruba Leaders affirmed that Awolowo never promised to follow the East into secession. What he said was that if the Igbo were "driven" out of Nigeria the Yoruba would take it seriously and reassess their own position. Igbo Leaders DID NOT CONTEST this version.

Then Chief Bola Ige threw in the clincher! "Who are you to accuse the Yoruba of betrayal?" he roared, and continued:

1. At Independence Awolowo offered a joint government between the NCNC and AG, with Zik as Prime Minister and Awo as Finance Minister. Awo and Zik "were still negotiating" when it was announced that Zik would be President in a coalition with NPC of the North. The East then collaborated in destroying the West and sending Awolowo and his leutenants to jail!

2. What of the 1965 elections which the West and the East agreed to boycott? We met all night and reached agreement about 3am on the day of the election. In the morning, while the Yoruba boycotted the election, the Igbo went to vote

3. After the 1979 elections Yoruba (UPN) and Igbo (APP?) Leaders were still at the negotiating table for a coalition when to their surprise, an announcement was heard that the Igbo (APP) had agreed to a coalition with the North (NPN)

4. After the 1983 elections, 1979 repeated itself. Not giving up, Awolowo reached out to Azikiwe again for cooperation. Talks started and they met in Benin where Awo pleaded passionately that only a collaboration between The Igbo and the Yoruba could save Nigeria. They didn't reach agreement but promised to meet again. Before the next meeting, the Igbo had again teamed up with the North.

Uncle Bola paused and then continued "we can go on and on. So how dare you accuse the Yoruba of betrayal? How many Igbo have been killed in Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, Oshogbo (he mentioned other Yoruba towns)? You have your businesses in the West and went to Western schools. Yet you count the Yoruba as your enemy. You get killed in Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, Zaria etc and have your goods looted yet you consider the Hausa/ Fulani your friends. It's your choice. If you want to be slaves for ever, we can't help you"

I had never been so scared in my life. I thought the roof was going to fall. There was a pin drop silence and no Igbo dared interrupt Uncle Bola Ige because he was telling the truth. The Yoruba Leaders ended the meeting at that point and left. I hope Chief C. O. Adebayo's memoirs will give more details of those exchanges.

Now to make three points from all this:

A. The Yoruba have been stretching their hand across the Niger for a handshake for a long time. The Igbo refused to take it for a long time until recently

B. Many Igbo Leaders of the 70s, 80s and 90s deliberately perpetrated the legend of Awolowo's role betraying them into the civil war and his role in prosecuting the war, to rally the Igbo population behind themselves. The Igbo agreed on Yoruba hatred than on any other issue. So it was the fabric that held them together for a long time

C. Time heals all things. Many Igbo reading this will be hearing for the first time that their leaders of old knew for a truth that Awolowo did not break his word to Ojukwu as alleged.

Me: Nothing can make ißo like Yoruba people since they teach hatred from birth despite breeding across Yorubaland with equal rights, ißo still hates the good people of Yorubaland.Yorubaland must retain that position back as the fastest growing region in the 50s and 60s. Yorubaland must be great again.

Tell them if they dont change their ways .Yorubaland will not be business as usual for the ibos.Yorubas might use the hausa treatment for the ibos in the nearest future.
They make mouth carelessly that they feed Yorubas,Yoruba pussy smells,ofe manu,we develop Yorubaland as if Yorubas are zombies.
Can Ibos claim kano or kaduna is no man's land,i am sure the hausas will start killing the Ibos the next day?
When did tolerance becomes a crime? I ask the ibos on this thread.
