Why would I hate Yorubas when a yoruba did a lot for my dad in his difficult times... Online tribal hate brings out the worst in people, I'm done with the tribal back and forth, you are right in your postulations, it's best Igbos invest in the East, I'll be in your shoes as well given the circumstance. I'm done with ethnic bashing.

Good luck to you guys.

I am surprised at this post from you given your hardline posture.

The causes for the acrimony between both tribes runs deep and will take many years to remedy. I believe that the online exchanges have contributed in no small measure to the deterioration in the relationship between the youths of both tribes and it cannot be undone easily.

That being said, the short term solution to our differences still remains a restructuring of the federation while we respect each others’ sensibilities and differences online. A situation whereby our online discourse is characterized by insults and muddying of the pool by our igbo brothers will only make tangible rapprochement efforts fail before it even gets started. Take for example the Buhari issue. The igbos have insulted both Yorubas and Hausas to an extent where even liberals who were hitherto opposed to Buhari now have no choice but to stick with him out of tribal loyalty. This has been my personal experience as the igbos have made Nigerian politics an Us v Them scenario thus leaving no grounds for concensus.

I think it’s a little too late in the day to walk back the hateful rhetoric that pervades our online discourse. What we can do now is to respect ourselves and practice the politics of live and let live while respecting the majority decisions.

I hate to look like the purveyor of hate and division but that is what you have made me look like with your post.

Take care.

Why she left the Uk to come work in Nigeria as a Nigerian is beyond me. Despite all the come home and make Nigeria better. It has never worked well. Look at Barth Nnaji, Okonjo Iweala and now Adeosun. You really have to be criminally minded to survive in Nigeria's political environment.

I could come to work in Nigeria as an expatriate but never as a Nigerian. As an expatriate, my country of citizenship would be looking out for me and I would get all the perks and benefit associated with it.

To all those calling for her to be prosecuted. Tough luck. She would have renounced her Nigerian citizenship on arrival to the UK. If you can't bring home a full blooded Nigerian for prosecution from the UK e.g Diezani, how on earth would you accomplish that with a British Citizen?

My brother, I am just tired of Nigeria wahala oo

Abeg, stay put in Canada and don’t try to come back for politics. You can always invest in properties back home but don’t sully your reputation by joining the politics. It’s toxic.

See what they did to aunty kemi?

Fatherofdragons:
When I read some of the things these yorubas write, I begin to understand better why they are called snakes, imagine them saying that igbo parents has always thought their children how to hate, this is the same ppl that will always remind their daughters not to marry omo igbo, that they will eat their flesh in the east lol.

They said that they never knew about the civil war, that igbos has been showing hatred to them for the past 7 years because of Jonathan and the civil war, and I think to myself, do this ppl actually think that it's all igbos that know about the war? if not for ipob, I wouldn't have known there was anything like biafra.

This yorubas keep on recycling lies upon lies, threatening the ppl that build massively in their region and call it home ( which is very foolish) with genocide, this same Yoruba claim that they are hated by igbo yet no day goes by without a thread about igbos from them, that is to show u who the true hatefull bunch are.

I have given my position and it behoves on you to take the many positives from it for the benefit of your tribe.

Trying to justify the actions of your youth online will not help you as millions are consuming our exchanges here, thus forming subjective opinions which will go a long way in shaping relations between both tribes going forward.

I have done my part in opening the eyes of so many liberals (Yorubas) to the dangers posed by your tribe.

I advise you to build alaigbo as nobody will do it for you. I have not been to the east since after my vocational one year law school program and I hope not to be there again. My region is quite sufficient for me. I want you(and other igbos) to have the same feeling of adequacy for your region for the benefit of the coming generation.

Safe.

This might sound ignorant but I still don’t understand what the hullabaloo is all about.

Is it not that foolish NYSC certificate that I don’t know where I flinged it in my house? Even though I used it to secure the jobs I have done, I still think with respect to Mrs Adeosun, she should not have been vilified for the authenticity or otherwise of her exemption certificate given her peculiar case of having been misled by unscrupulous elements who assured her that her’s was genuine.

Her vilification would have been justified if she forged her college or university certificates, which would have undermined her integrity and the legitimacy of her Office. I just feel she was a victim of high wired ethnic politics by those who have an ax to grind with her and the Yoruba tribe. My joy is that she has left Nigeria with all her rot and gone back to the UK whicih is a saner clime than naija.

I am only worried for the blot this scandal will create on her record in view of future engagements.

Bane2020:

What happens to people like us that were born and bred in Ibadan, I shouldn't invest in my POB? Omo Ibadan ni mi o, hard to alienate myself from a land that gave me life

Really?

And you hate Yorubas this much?

You must be kidding.

This is a sad one.

We can’t be losing our highly trained Generals just like that. It is a symptom of a more fundamental malaise in our security architecture.

I leave the Government—who are charged with the responsibility of formulating policies for securing the nation— to deal with this issue. We cannot continue to bury our heads in the sand like the proverbial ostrich, while denying that nothing is wrong with Nigeria.

Buhari matter na God hand e dey and we the ordinary citizens have no choice but to continue praying for our leaders to get things right, else na yawa we dey ooo.

Bane2020:

I could care less mate.

Lol. Funny guy.

No need to get angry. Just follow and implement my recommendations to the letter.

Invest in the east. Retain your human capital there. Respect other Nigerians more.

If all these are done, your biafran agitation will gain traction.

Bane2020:

Diary of an estranged man , when you have the cold fingers of fact pointing at you, you recoil into your defensive shell. You've got 99 problems and your inability to get pvssy surely adds to make it a century of fuvk ups all piled up on your dumb ass lmfaooooooo, nyggah you are a virgin at 40 still squatting in mama's house, your inane attempts to act like you some big wig in Lekki online even makes it laughable.

And your submissions as it has always been are baseless, inconsequential, mundane, and irrelevant. So there's no substance to whatever you stand for or posit on here, or any where for that matter.

Ok. I have heard you.

Kinda busy now.

BabaRamota1980:


He is one of the Ibos born in Lagos. They consider themselves a higher being than the Ibos born in East. They call themselves Yoruba to differentiate from other Ibos. Similar thing happened last year when a new identity called Arewa Igbo surfaced. At least those ones retained Igbo....the Lagos born ones just outright drop all reference to yanminri and claim Yoruba.

You should see me laughing hysterically at your comment. It is so funny. The igbo conundrum is a sad tale of how a resourceful tribe has allowed hate to define and drive their grievances with their mother country.

It teaches me a personal lesson to express my misgivings in any situation without recourse to emotions, recriminations and hate. I blame igbo problems in Nigeria on parental indoctrination of hate into their children. If not for indoctrination, I don’t know how this present generation of igbo kids knew so much about a war this generation should not even remember.

I didn’t know about this civil war issue until Jonathan’s Government when the igbos came all out for revenge against Yorubas whose present generation went on about things without a care in the world. We didn’t know about any war because our parents never told us about it. We learnt about that stuff on NL politics section(I personally did). The amount of hate propagated by igbos for the last 7 years is enough to power a nuclear reactor.

The hate is simply too much and it has damaged Nigeria.

Bane2020:

Lmaooo incoherent to you because your brain is so addled with stupidity to understand anything. You're worthless, just accept it and do the whole discourse a favor and go get laid, you sound like a whiny insecure virgin that has been hamrolled into been a reject all his life, sucks to be you Mr pseudo-intellectual lawyer.

I get laid quite a lot. I have got 99 problems but a pu*sy ain’t one. In fact, I have one of your sisters disturbing me to come over to lekki and have some of that coochie but I am too busy at the moment.

My unshakable position is that bridges have been burnt by your ilk and your tribe suffers it in consequence. Also, it would be difficult for igbos to attain Presidency in this country.

So why don’t you concentrate on the substance of my submission?

Olril18:

they will talk about igbo getting presidency, who presidency epp I beg?
don't you see how lifeless man Bulgaria has turned his native Daura to paradise? and how ogun state roads are world class bcoz obasanjo was once president..
are northerners not the most backward, poorest and retrogessive people in the universe despite their political and military power?
presidency ko, presidential ni.
BTW I thought you wanted to run away from Nigeria, have you gotten your visa?
failure of a lawyer.no wonder you are not progressing.

I thought you said igbos will get it? Now you have backtracked and walked back from that position.

I won’t even respond to the other nonsense you posted up there.

For your own sanity, I would advise you to forget about Nigeria’s politics and focus on your niche—which is itinerant trading. Honestly, too many bridges have been burnt and the recipients of your hate and insults won’t forgive or forget what you have done for the past few years.

Go back home and redraw your plans.

BabaRamota1980:


Amen my brother!

They cannot do anything to Yoruba race or Yorubaland but yes, they will carry out another ethnic cleansing in civil service. It will be worse than the marginalization treatment under Jonathan and Yoruba will be its worst casualty. Our best foot forward is to put all our ducks in order and block any party that nominates Ibo as presidential candidate or an Ibo as VP.

Exactly!

That’s why I am waiting for who the PDP will choose as its Vice Presidential candidate.

That will determine a lot about next year’s elections.

It is so evident that igbos will harm Yorubas at the slightest opportunity they get and it is so unfair because we are not the one that have done evil against them. All we have done is being nice hosts and neighbors to the igbos. I grew up with many igbos in my compound while growing up and they were not this hateful. The Jonathan Presidency gave them the opportunity to reveal their true nature to Yorubas and I thank God for that revelation of what will befall Yorubas if igbos ever assume the Presidency.

We must do all within our powers to forestall that occurrence. We are also lucky that other Nigerians don’t like the igbos so the likelihood of an Igbo Presidency is actually nonexistent.

Bane2020:

Look at his clown, you sure do need a revamp of testosterones cause you running high on that effeminate vibe, a sure recourse for your quite telling situation will be to get laid. You come here and make pointless references to Igbos losing bar elections to some unknown person like you were privy to the actual circumstance and reasons for it(Hey Einstein there are several thousands of prominent legal giants of Igbo stock doing very in capacities of leadership and advocacy within and outside Nigeria), so stop overblowing your own importance when you're just one insecure piece of crap making insinuations that border on just sheer envy and self-predilections for delusions.

If Igbos want the presidency, there is nothing and nobody that will stop them. All they need is the unity and right alliances with the people that actually count (The North and some parts of the South South), and it's shaping up to that reality ahead of 2023, your region is overrated, and antecedents of history that left your people in the wilderness of playing opposition for years after been sidelined by the rest proved that. Even when it seems the South west finally managed to break through the shackles of been irrelevant, and aligned with the North to get the VP slot, all ministerial and key appointments made so far in this administration have heavily tilted towards the North, your people once again have been used and dumped.

Yada yada yada, you just keep going on and on and on with your incoherent, unpunctuated and unarranged drivel.

In response to the nonsense above, let’s see you get that Presidency. Nobody is stopping igbos from vying for the top position. Just do it and stop procrastinating.

Viserion:
dude I am well aware that I wasn't the one who pissed u up, the so called Twitter war serves as an opium to the inescapable economic hardship in the country.. why are you been so serious?

I understand you—and that is the more reason why we should leave the Kenyans alone and fix Nigeria. The Kenyans will not always be there to be the brunt of our frustrations, we would eventually turn on ourselves soon if things continue like this.

And talking about being pissed, I am not pissed, I am only concerned for Nigerian youths. You don’t go about assuming your state of mind about others.

Safe.

This is what everyone is praying for, I don't want war REFUGEES in my SW.

God bless you sir.

Part of the reason why I want the country is divided is to have the cancer called igbo to be removed from yorubaland and we shall achieve it.

Nigeria has failed!

RevenGeMission:
Well, i am about going in a meeting anyways , i leave am for posterity make he dey judge am dey go


I yaff tired

Good of you, cause these igbo guys will wear you out.

They were raised on a steady diet of hate and prejudice.

Yoruba parents never raised their wards with anti igbo hate, so we don’t have the capacity to hate like the igbos.

We only learnt to clap back after being needlessly attacked by this hateful tribe online.

Let them continue constituting a nuisance online. Nigerians will handle the rest offline.

Olril18:

they kill, they kill, absolute trash they keep talking about?
who are those that killed, igbo civilians or military leaders?
so igbo civilians should suffer for what a few stupidd people did.. haven't the unprogressive northerners retaliated the killings by themselves killing thousands of innocent igbos?
between killing of thousands of civilians who are innocent and we're not there when the plan to kill those bunch of political leaders was being plotted and retaliating by killing innocent Nigerians in their thousands because they are igbos, I know which one is much worse than the other.

didn't fajuyi also participated in the coup?
why don't we Yorubas take vicarious liability for his and other pockets of Yorubas who participated in the first coup.
Yoruba and hypocrisy should go hand in hand.

And this one claims to be yoruba?

I laugh in igbo.

I really don’t know why you have to lie though.

Let’s see where rabid hate and propaganda peddling will get igbos politically.

There are millions of yoruba hawks who will get into positions of authority soon enough(I know many) and they don’t like igbos, neither are they politically correct.

What that means is that even igbo trade all over Nigeria is not safe. The future indeed looks bleak for these people. Only them can save themselves—by stopping the wanton indoctrination of their kids to hate other Nigerians and investing massively in their homeland.

Olril18:

failed lawyer...
I'm so sure an hungry and useless lawyer like you will not chace away an igbo client..will you?
hope say igbo matter no go Kill you.
a lawyer that that talks like a rabble rouser, is that one a lawyer?

You say you are yoruba and you ram into me like you have done over my justified comment against the igbos?

I leave you with your conscience.

Bane2020:

If you think that dunce is a lawyer, then PM me cause I've got castles in the air to sell to you.

Lol, I know it’s painful to know that a lawyer can feel this way about your tribe but what can I do in the circumstance?

The extenuating circumstance of igbo hate being peddled online by your brothers have radicalized millions in Nigeria. The eastern bar forum even lost the NBA elections to Barr. Paul Usoro from the South South due to the morbid fear of Nigerians for igbo leadership at any level.

And you have the audacity to hope Nigerians will allow Igbo Presidency? Over our dead bodies! You better divest from other parts of Nigeria and build alaigbo!

Bane2020:

And who will stop Igbos? A worthless yorubanza nonentity like your likes? Lmaooo you guys take yourselves way too seriously on here

Let’s see you ascend Nigerian Presidency without the help of the much hated Hausas and Yorubas.

Like I have said at different fora, the only hope of igbos lie in Biafra or the restructuring of Nigeria—both of which are attainable only if the igbos divest from different parts of Nigeria and reinvest in the east while retaining her human capital and resource in the east.

Anything other than this will ensure igbos remain 2nd class citizens in Nigeria. Heck, I even respect an ijaw and edo person more than igbos. The igbo is only an itinerant trader in Nigeria who over estimates his importance to the nation.

Sad for the igbo tribe.

Olril18:

I'm a Yoruba, pls just shut the feck up.. useless historian...haven't you seen how your northern overlord masters aided by we Yorubas has turned Nigeria to eldorado?
if it is to make jest of igbos,they will flock like vultures, if it is to demand good governance from your overlords,they will turn mumu and dumb.
keep enjoying your change.

No, you are not yoruba.

Try another lie!

BabaRamota1980:


You should separate the bloated bureaucracy and its drag on citizenry from the subject at hand, which is....the risk Yoruba face if we slack and yield the ground for Ibo to be in line of succession to the presidency or as a presidential candidate of a winning party.

This is not America or UK and we will never ever, as Nigerians, match up to those two places so no need to pretend ourselves as champion of equity and democracy. Yoruba must prevent and blovk Ibo from ever ascending this presidency.

As far Biafra is concerned thats a whole separate issue as well. No Nigerian is holding you back. You were kicked out of North last year and your leaders begged to have that eviction notice withdrawn. True or false? Your own Ibos have scattered investments all over Nigeria and are hooked to the honey they feed on. Its too sweet for them to detach from. There is no honey in alqibo to feed their taste and hunger. They are the ones opposing Biafra. They are the ones whispering behind closed doors to Buratai to dispatch military to East and clean out ipob before it becomes uncontrolably and Biafra is actualized indeed. Look Peter Obi in his face, look at Orji Kalu in his face, look at Ifeanyi Ubah and Chris Uba and all these your people...Nnia Nwodo dem, they are the ones stopping Biafra, not Yoruba and not Hausa. If you meant to leave you had ample chance last year to make it happen when you werw told to go ahead and separate. Why didnt you?

OMG, Babaramota, God will bless you and all you hold dear. You have spoken the mind of millions of Nigerians by explaining those against Biafra!

I have lectured and sought to help the igbos actualise Biafra on this forum for 7 years but what do I get? Hate and insults from the same people who made my yoruba tribe hate me

May the Yoruba nation never witness the calamity of an igbo Presidency as that will spell doom for the very existence of the Yorubas. The igbos will make sure they extract their pound of flesh for transgressions Yorubas never committed.

Since they have failed to be civil and rational in social discourse and interactions with other tribes, may they continue to be at the backwaters of Nigeria’s political milieu for life!

Now where are the mods to take this to the front page?

Why are the mods contributing the failure of this country? These are the kind of threads that Nigerian youths should be reading so they can deconstruct this contraptive hellhole called Nigeria. I read the whole article and I found it really educating and revealing on the failed status of Nigeria, yes, Nigeria is big for nothing!

If there is anything I need from God, it is the grace and Favour from God to take my family out of Nigeria. It is really important for any rational and visionary individual to escape Nigeria. Your children will thank you for it.

Yes, the age limit for mobilization to participate in the compulsory service year is 30 Years Old at the time of graduation from school

You have time to be replying these people ooo. Online is the only place they have power and they will frustrate every avenue for meaningful discourse.

You better leave them to their antics.

Even if she were still in the country, there is nothing you can do to the woman. Neither you nor the tribe is powerful enough to do anything to Kemi Adeosun.

You are wrong. It is hausa that don’t want dismemberment.

The average Yoruba is Indifferent about unity or dismemberment. He just wants things to go well within his region.

It’s so glaring that Nigeria is now worse than hell but majority of our youth are not seeing this, they rather partake in a twitter war to insult Kenyas on the basis of skin color. Things are really bad and some of us just pray for the grace to escape Nigeria.
