Your elders did not field any two Yorubas. The North fielded there own lapdog ,Obasanjo, and rigged him into office over your own candidate, Falae.

It is a testimony of how low Yoruba has fallen in Nigeria that you are claiming the flor for Obasanjo's emergence as civilian president.

JohnSin97:
We didn't bitch about it but our elites put themselves to work and years later we fielded two candidates for the 1999 presidential election. You guys have been bitching and wailing for ages over a presidential slot that you'd never smell in 100 years time.

Fulanis don't give a Bleep about Yoruba. Why should they shoot Yoruba protestors when they know that it is all noisemaking and sabre-rattling.? Fulani know that when push comes to shove, the average Yoruba will disappear.


Fulani has dominated,oppressed, humiliated, imprisoned and killed Yoruba leading lights without any push back from Yoruba nation.

Jaluumi:
I guess you’re a baby because Yorubas already went through that phase with Abacha and Babangida. We can even go back to the 60s with Agbekoya and Operation Wettie.

Fulanis just know Yoruba madness is different from Ibo madness. And shooting peaceful Yoruba protesters would be the end of Booohari. When Yorubas get mad, no be here o. Ibos on the other hand are like cows that can be killed with no repercussions apart from wailing.

Are you saying that should there be civil war, Yoruba will not align with the North like they did in the Nigeria-Biafra War?

What changed?

haaryobhami:
It's not tout and agbero ,I can tell u majority of yoruba people share the same believe, people are tired of this country and this administration, should there be a civil war today hausa /fulani people would fight on there own

THAT'S why they called SOPHISRICATED slowpoke!

ImmaculateJOE:
How some people went and casted their votes for a well known Dictator and Coup plotter still baffales. Especially our sophisticated brethren.
He even truancated a democratically elected government.

You be dundee united. Obviously, from your post, it shows you don't know the story of Mandela and his fightagainst Apartheid

OVB123:
Innocent people be killed everyday because of Kanu. May God judge Him. If he knows he truly want to liberate Ndigbo then he should come back to Nigeria and fight like a freedom fighter not these nonsense his doing; given order(s) from oversea.
Nelson Mandela of South Africa, Fidel Castro and other Free fighters too numerous to mention did it without instigating their followers against the government on sit

Trash. Stop peddling falsehoods on social media

Ihateniggov:
Of course, we are not using the 1954 Constitution but it is good to clear the air sometimes, don't you think so?

A little bit of history is not bad.

ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

Onlytruth:
The response coming from some of Yoruba elite on this issue is quite frankly ludicrous.
Achebe's memoir and the exact words he chose to describe Awo are very specific and succinct. Achebe never speaks half truths, or encase words in riddles. He always speaks plainly and to the point. He did that on two occassions when he turned down national honors. He has an antecedent of being a FIERCE LOVER OF TRUTH. No amount of fake indignation from any quarters would change Achebe or tarnish his reputation. The international community know him already.

The situation some of these defenders of Awo find themselves is analogous to an animal caught in a snare made of amazing ropes and twines. Once entangled, the more the "victim" tries to disentangle, the tighter the noose on the victim.

Okay, let me ask Mr Fani Kayode one question: WHAT ABOUT THE 20 POUND POLICY? How did he forget that one?

What even baffles me is that Achebe never attacked Yoruba people; HE "ATTACKED" AWOLOWO, and unless Awolowo has become Oduduwa himself, it should be an insult to the Yoruba tribe for anyone to pretend that Awo even rises to touch the shoes of such noble Yoruba sons, as Prof Wole Soyinka, Fela Anikulapo Kutui (and his entire Ransome Kuti family), and even my spiritual mentor Dr D. K Olukoya.

So, I get personally indignant on behalf of Yoruba folks, when people raise Awo above the entire tribe.

Methinks that the more those Awo defenders try to scrub Awo's tarnished legacy, the tighter the noose on their throats!

I have one advice for them : SURRENDER TO THE SNARE OF TRUTH ELSE IT WILL LYNCH YOU!

Signed,

Onlytruth, Ndu di n'eziokwu 1 of Igboland, Eze Ndigbo Nairaland.

You are insanely and intelligently funny.

iamadonis2:
A ministry should be set up to regulate the activities of these kidnappers if they can’t be stopped.

1. A ministry to determine how many Northerners they can kidnap in a week.

2. The proper pricing and negotiation of ransom payments.

3. The holding facility for the abductees.

4. Taxable income of every registered kidnapper.

All these oversight functions will come under the purview of the Ministry.

Can't you make a posting with injecting Ndigbo into the mix?
Are Ndigbo the only group critical of Tinubu's political actions? Are Yoruba critics of Tinubu children of hate also.? I tire for you!

LegendHero:
Asiwaju Tinubu!

SW leaders are meeting but the children of hate from the cursed erosion ravaged enclave will be be the ones gnashing their teeth on this thread.

How many votes do they have to pass such a Bill into law?

Mooh247:
Is it by force to take alcohol like Ipob drunkards

If you don't want alcohol been taxed through VAT then call on Ike Ekweremadu and Abaribe to stop sleeping in the house and sponsor a bill to remove Alcohol from VAT items

Which General? Most Nigerian General are paper General- particularly those of Northern region.

Niger Delta "Igbo" Cant Give Biafra Direct Sea Access Because Of These Tribes

There is an Igbo obsession with the Atlantic Ocean almost to the point of neuroses. This has led to the forceful conscription of all peoples with moonlight fable links of their Igboid ancestry into Biafra, such as the still puzzled Esan people of Ubiaja in Edo State who suddendly woke up one day to discover they are Igbo.

The problem is even if for agreement sake all these Igbo claimed peoples were to agree (Impossibility) to be Biafra, Biafra still wont be an Atlantic Nation as none of these tribes seat on the Atlantic Ocean.

Take the case of Rivers State. In the unlikely event that the the less than 500,000 Ikweres allow themselves to be dragged into Biafra, the direct sea access will still be blocked by the below tribes that include Ogonis, Ijaws, Kalabaris who are all sitting right on the ocean and will never give up their land.

My advise to those seeking Biafra is to focus on the 5 state of South East to be taking serious.

There will be a Yoruba Nation.
Their will be 1 or 2 Niger Delta Nations.
There will be an Igbo Nation, it just wont be this Biafran hallucinations.

Igbos are becoming very scary people to Southern minorities as it is becoming certain that Nigeria will dissolve.

everything is Yoruba to you fool's.. the minorities don't want your smelly igbo ass biafra, is that too hard for inyamiris to understand?

Allow minorities to decide their fate.

IF YOU are Yoruba, you need to weepbfor your ethnic nationality. Your leaders are so selfish and myopic that they have sacrificed the collective and future survival of the Yoruba nation for political pot of porridge(Tinubu/Osibanjo/Fayemi)
Presidency

Imagine Yoruba political leaders fighting over a Utopian Presidency when they should be confronting Fulani-led Buhari Presidency to accept the imperative of restructuring and fiscal federalism - which by the way was their national anthem in last two decades before they came to power in 2015.

iammo:
Fayemi better dont bite the fingers that fed him because el rufai is pushing him, The Nigerian Governors Forum Chairmanship was lobbied by the same people in South West Agenda un his behalf, and he was visiting boudillion drive ikoyi weekly like his life depended on it

Why are taking panadol for another manos headache?

mekaboy:
Even kanu stores the donations he receives from gullible igbos, outside Biafran land. Because he knows there will be no biafra. So both kanu and politicians are the same.

Osibanjo is a dissappointment!

Penguin2:
During the EndSars protests, Buhari came out to threaten the youth and even sent soldiers after us.

But Buhari has been pleading with bandits and Boko Haram while Sultan of Sokoto is asking for prayers and Osinbajo is looking for Microsoft to train 5million Nigerians.

Ndi ala!

If Nigeria did not become great after almost 61 year of independence, but fell apart to the extent all the countries ( Malaysia, Indonesia,South Korea, Brazil) that were at or below par are now light years ahead of her, what makes you think she would great?

Do you really understand what it takes to make a country great?

DID YOUR FATHERS GO BACK HOME WHEN NIGERIA WAS FIGHTING FOR INDEPENDENCE FROM BRITAIN?

IDLE MINDS WITH NOTHING TO DO.

PissfulProtester:
This your question is same question we ve been asking for ages..You will never get any reasonable answer

In fact, the easiest way to start a fight with them is when you tell them to go back home...and deveRop it

Truth is..they don't love each other genuinely. An Igbo man does not want his brother to have what he has..just because he doesn't want him to talk when and where he is talking....

Is it the level of crime "manufactured" from that region we want to talk about? No, don't let us go there...

I don't blame Obasanjo. I blame the organizations that provide the platforms for jim to vomit his nonsense.

scholes0:
See patronization. What is a military head of state and two term civilian president going to say anyways?

There is already a conscious effort to exterminate minority groups and appropriate their lands and resources ALREADY ONGOING in Nigeria..
Any minority who thinks the continuous existence of Nigeria will protect them from harm is surely living in fool’s paradise.. especially in light of everything happening bow.

"Who told you Ibos rejected Buhari in 2015"

Why do you argue with the answer to 1 + 1 = 2?

NdIgbo massively rejected Buhari in 2015.Check the voting pattern in SE and SW in the 2015 Presidential Election

notym2chektym:
na wa for you Op
Who told you Ibos rejected Buhari in 2015?
Maybe in 2015, you were still in primary, Every region voted massively for Buhari Govt in 2015 because of their fake promises and because we want a better govt not knowing we are going from frypan to fire
,In 2019, when everyone eyes clear, there was voter aparthy ,Apc used the opportunity to rig the elections for Buhari, Buhari was imposed on Nigeria in 2019, forget those figures you see then( God will not forgive APC for that)
Are you afraid of Yoruba seceding or what ?
I don't know what you people really want from the Yorubas. Initially you said we are Hausa slaves and unity beggars,now we want to secede ,you said we shouldn't.
Na wa o

"I learnt many middlebeltans fought against Biafra because they were afraid of being trapped in a country with their Muslim brothers without Igbo overwhelming population to balance things out."

I read it too and that confession came from General Domkat Bali.

Igboid:
My own take on this:

1. The Yoruba elites preaching one Nigeria and using scaremongering tactics to dissuade the Yoruba commoners from pursuing Oduduwa republic are not different from Igbo elites and indeed elites from other parts of Nigeria doing same.
They are not looking out for the interest of the commoners, they are only interested in the preservation of Nigeria, their cash cow.


2. Nigeria as currently constituted only serves the interest of the elites from all parts of Nigeria and they would all say and do everything to preserve Nigeria so that they and their family, cronies and well wishers can continue schooling in North America and USA , jet all over the world for medical tourism, hustle for dual citizenship of first world countries for their families, while they preach one Nigeria to the commoners.

3. Ndiigbo( commoners) will not constitute itself a hindrance to any group seeking secession from Nigeria. If Igbo elites want to do so, then they would have to constitute such army by enrolling themselves and their wards into such senseless army.

4. Yorubas and indeed other groups can't hide behind Nigeria forever to avoid taking care of their local problems outside Nigeria.
Many people in Nigeria simply want one Nigeria to continue because they are scared their own group would not be able to make progress outside Nigeria as an entity, so they constitute themselves a hinderance to those who though know they would face challenges outside Nigeria but have enough belief in themselves and their ability to solve such problems and emerge a better nation than Nigeria can ever dream off. This is a typical crab in a barrel syndrome. Like the typical case of misery loving company.
I learnt many middlebeltans fought against Biafra because they were afraid of being trapped in a country with their Muslim brothers without Igbo overwhelming population to balance things out.
That's a pathetic way to live your life. Playing the ostrich rather than tackling your problem head on. Obviously, dragging Igbos into Nigeria has not stopped Middlebelt from having to face their Muslim brothers. They only succeeded in having Ndiigbo as a company in their own misery.

At your age, education, exposure you still suffer from debilitating ahistorism. Imagine the state of younger Yorubas who don't have the level of education and exposure.

"Propaganda can only last for a while, you can’t win a war based on propaganda because reality is different from fantasies"


Q#1
Why did Yoruba fight the Nigeria-Biafra War?
Q#2
Why did Awolowo and Yorubas align with the North to fight against Biafra?
Q#3
Did Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani fight in the Nigeria-Biafra War for the same political reasons. If "YES", what was the political reason behind their alliance to fight Biafra's independence?
Q#4
BETWEEN THE HAUSA/FULANI AND YORUBA, WHO is the real winner or real loser of the Nigeria-Biafra War?
Q#5
Between the Yoruba and Ndigbo, who is the real winner/real loser in the Nigeria-Biafra War?
Q#6
After over 5 decades of aligning with Arewa North to "defeat" Biafra, in the Nigeria-Biafra War, are Yoruba of Nigeria better off - economically, politically, educationally, psychological, scientifically, emotionally, individually and collectively - in Gowon's post-Biafra Nigeria than they would have been in Aburi Accord- restructured Nigeria?

Iegendhero:
Ojukwu really bleeped up by using his people as a shield for a war he isn’t that prepared for.

Propaganda can only last for a while, you can’t win a war based on propaganda because reality is different from fantasies.

There are cases where the Biafran army massacred some south-south minorities during the war too so I think this is a case of the devil with the strongest kill power.

This should be a lesson to this generation, before you commit to a full blown war, be prepared with the necessary alliance so you won’t sent your people in their millions to Hades due to hasty decisions.

EXACTLY. THEY IGNORE THE ROLE OF THEIR KINSMEN.

ClintonJr:
I like the way Yorubas are beating around the bush just to drag Zik into the mess, then turn a blind eye to the role Akintola played in jailing Awolowo #backstabbers

iRONSI DID NOT DESTROY NIGERIA'S FEDERALISM.

You people have started with your dosage of distorted history again.

Was it Nnamdi Azikiwe that first left his southern brothers to form a coalition government with the Northern People Congress in 1959 even before independence?

Going forward, it was your Ironsi that destroyed what the Richard Constitution of 1946 by issuing the Unification Decree 34 of 1966 by taking away regionalism?

You suffer from debilitaron ahistorism.

too egoistic a tribe filled with hubris,they want to claim everything,monopolise their own and claim others.let it be know dat problems nigeria are having today are cauqtsed by them.igbos caused d first and second coup,ZIK wanted to become d western premier,he wanted to rule nigeria and africa as a whole,he mentioned it in one of his to some igbos caucus in d parliament lagos dat IT WILL ONLY TAKE A FEW TIME WHEN THE GOD OF IBOS WILL MAKE THEM DOMINATE NIGERIA AND AFRICA AS A WHOLE because they were given free hands in d western region then,he quickly and always team up with d northerners to spite awolowo and achieve his aims.ZIK arm-twisted d north in 1953 when d north said they will stay out dat they were not ready for nigeria independence because he wanted to rule a large entity nigeria etc,
when d winds of political leadership changed direction from them ojukwu for his greed and empty pride said he wanted biafra because he senior GOWON and because of oil,meanwhile when ezeougu kaduna was killed d next in command to him was an hausa from bornu bt because igbo were d majority in top echelon of d army then replaced kaduna ezeougu witi agunyi ironsi dat was less in rank to dat borno man now wen it got to Gowon time ojukwu started crying dat gowon cant be d head of d supreme millitary government.when adaka boro wanted ijaw to secede from naija because of oil Agunyi ironsi led govt fought him to standstill within few days bt ojukwo wanted to secede because ibo man was nt in govt charge.in drafting 1953 constitution awolowo suggested a clause dat IF ANY STATE/REGION/MEMBER OF D UNION CALLED NIGERIA D REGION CAN PULL OUT OR SECEDE but Azikwe tackle d submission dat DIS UNION NIGERIA IS INDISSOLVABLE DAT D UNION IS FOR LIFE which earned him nickname ZIK OF AFRICA,FOUNDER OF ONE NIGERIA meanwhile awolowo had d foresight then but ZIK greed and unholy alliance wit hausa blinded him now his people are label treasoners because they want secesion
