In regional government, we performed better.

You said its not from my heart.
Between Yorubas and Igbos who were in government more?

Who were marginalized?

Who were shouting, No federal projects?

Lol, Very funny guy, Since these numbers of years in opposition, we performed better than those that are in government.
What will happen if we were the one In government since all these years?

Where southerns wete on ballot, do you guys vote for your fellow southerners?
Since 1960.

My friend calm down, we are not talking about performance as why a Yoruba man want another Yoruba man to rule. The reason a Yoruba man want another yourba man to rule is to make sure a Yoruba man is seating at the top not performance because Nigeria politics and development has always been a rolling stone, our development and performance has always been revolving in one circle and until a new face emerge Nigeria will remain the same. So forget all these shit you are saying

I have no problem with Yorubas generally. There very nice ones among them.

I'm just surprised the way they behaved during Buhari's regime - like the rest of the South don't matter.

They didn't call out Buhari on
- Security issues,
- Abuse of powers,
- Service chiefs distribution,
- Allocation of projects,
- Petroleum Industries Bill etc.

They are just happy to get their crumbs and look the other way. Igbos never did that when they were in corridor of powers. Yorubas carried on like tomorrow will never come. They still do that till date. I'm disappointed.

But I still think we can work with them. At least we know what they are capable of.

These are all lies, Yorubas have called out Buhari plenty of times over abuse of power or is Sowore and his supporters not Yorubas?

Where were you when Yorubas clashed with some northern oligarchy over security issues and the advent of Amotekun??

Everyman for themselves over allocation of projects, not sure what you want Yorubas to do there that you don’t hold other tribe accountable.

Petroleum industries? Mechi onu! enough of your senseless ramblings

The unity being sought after will only materialize when Yorubas support South East to Presidency in 2023. If the insist on contesting and empowering rogues like Atiku to rubbish zoning, then we’re in for rough times.

The problem is not Atiku, Buhari, Tinubu or Jonathan, we are our own problem. We keep supporting this thieves and rouges year in year out. All these political fights among themselves where planned down already, it is a strategy and political tactics to divert our attentions, it has always been a strategy used against the people to make sure power keep circulating amongst themselves and who so ever they want to deploy as their godsons.

APC & PDP are teams, APC was formulated by these PDP to make we the masses feel like there is a change coming but nothing. These guys eat and dine together in the wood.

These guys are extracting our blood, sweat and tears. They have been milking these nation dry since 1960. Have you ever asked yourself why is it that does leaders ruling since 1960 still the same set of leaders ruling us till today?(Obasanjo, Buhari)

Shut up. Its not politics. Politics is the science of governance, not treachery.

Your chiefs and obas collected 50million each from the same Jonathan, prayed for victory for jonathan and still voted against Jonathan.

Why didn't you chameleons tell Jonathan from the onset that you wouldn't vote for him?

You then voted buhari. Under buhari, the Fulanis committed genocide, buhari slaughtered over 300 igbos and the SS/SE has been marginalized. But your people have kept quiet and turned a blind eye.

Why did you yorubas celebrate when buhari slaughtered over 300 people in igboland?

Why did you yorubas come out your houses and celebrate the slaughter of 3 million people immediately the civil war ended?


These are not claims. These are questions. And if you are properly educated, you'll provide answers to the questions instead of resorting to accusations.

Why do you yorubas always keep quiet when injustice is being perpetrated to other tribes?
it's like u have a mentality that people should always come out n fight for u,u better take your destiny into your hands n fight for yourself.

Wasn't it last week that one Igbo man was ranting that they are taking Igbos gas to north? hausas will take over your property n give yorubas a reasonable share n they u will wail till they kingdom come.

Please did you inherit only foish or stupid from your bigoted father ? What did your kinsmen do when Ebele marginalised Yoruba ? I have s thread where Yoruba elders visit him to complain about the marginalisation with foolish Igbos insulting them endlessly.

Craz de you head if you think Yoruba should fight for you under Buhari. The same way many of your foolish kinsmen expect Yoruba to go collect independence so Igbo can be free.

No go tell your papa make e go fight for hin right, stay there de wait Yoruba make dem go fight for you so you can pay them back with daily insult like many of your foolish kinsmen insult Awo Tinubu n Yoruba at large, fool.

When Jonathan was marginalizing us, what did Igbo say about it? They did not care because Igbo were enjoying his government, and we all voted for him in 2011 so he had no reason to thrash us but, he did anyway.

You stand to gain nothing hating Yoruba people at large, if you have a problem with someone, face him or her. Unnecessary hate would take you nowhere. So calm down!

If any Yoruba person make you insecure, please do you own back to the person!

And Yoruba are not interested in Edo being part of Oduduwa Republic! Yoruba and Bini people, not Edo are cousins, so there is nothing your hate can do about that!

When have Igbos ever supported a Yoruba into presidency? Even when we had a sage, the sharpest mind in Nigeria Obafemi Awolowo, it was Igbos that frustrated his efforts to take Nigeria into new heights and maybe even develop a Nigerian dream we could all strive for.

Do you read the news at all? So when Yoruba leaders and media were castigating this government, what were you and your leaders doing? Don't tell me Lamidi Kunu is a leader! He takes joy in cursing and abusing, than correcting.

-Security issues
On this you need to pay attention more to the news! CAN lead by Yoruba people have been most vocal about this. Same with media houses in the SW. Sahara reporters that tells you about the killings is owned by who? On this, everyone should make moves to protect themselves, because even the South west was even invaded at some point.

- Abuse of powers,
A media in the south west is even calling the president, a major general! What else do you want from them? Same as above we can only whine about it. There is nothing anyone can do about that -- we are in a democracy!

- Service chiefs distribution,
This is the call of the president and I expect everyone should respect that. The coas is Kanuri not Fulani, and president said the man is placed there because his hometown is affected! Same as above again, we can only whine about it.

- Allocation of projects,
This is your problem! You don't expect Yoruba people to be fighting for you. But the fact is that this president has planted more projects in the SE and its environs than Jonathan, so you shouldn't be complaining about this. If you really feel pained, tell Deziani, your hero, to invest some of her loot in the SE.

- Petroleum Industries Bill
Same as ealier, we are even screaming restructuring! Let everyone man what they have in the region. If you like bath yourself in your petroleum, that is your problem.

All in all, cheap blackmail wouldn't take you far? No one in the ruling party would hand over the presidency slot to anyone in the SE like that. You guys have to earn it. Same with the PDP! Though I feel you deserve the PDP ticket, but many of you are ready to be slaves for ever!

Technically, yes! They are different from Edo. Bini kingdom conquered a lot of people including some Yoruba (during our civil war), Igbos and other minority tribes, but they didn't assimilate them properly before the British came. So these people still have the original identity but just show some reverence to the oba of bini.

If we check its always the Yoruba man that will come with these "if Igbos and Yoruba unite" bull crap. Igbos didnt kill themselves or feared when a Falae and Obasanjo contested and OBj won. Question is why is the Yoruba man afraid of having a president of Igbo decent? Y'all should check yourselves. You have 8yrs of presidency and another 8years of vice, yet you ate gearing to have another one at the detriment of the South East. Hw can any sensible person join forces with such a selfish human being? Igbos have always remain on thesame side, where there is any semblance of equity, justice even though not perfect, this is why Igbos have always voted against fanatics of the north. But Yorubas are only looking for what they can eat at the moment not the Interest of the collective south. No southerner takes Yoruba's serious anymore, y'all can use your red media to sugar coat things but only fooling yourselves.
Since Its a do what's best for you season, leave Igbo's out of your mouth, igbos didnt bring about the collapse of trust btwn southerners. I remeber how Tinubu used his I'll gotten wealth and media arms to demonize Igbo for refusing to follow his wild geese chase. Now that they have put him in place, write your articles to him and leave Ndigbo out of it. Igbos have always been on the side of collect interest for the entire south, while Yorubas want to continue to work for the repression of others for what ever crumbs they can get.
