Trash!

AlexBells:
We are not going to make threats of war, We are both capable of annihilating ourselves, but friendship is far from It.

We are both super power tribes in our own Right, while the Igbos in this regards are more like US, Yorubas are like China, this is not on slotting who is more powerful, I'm more on the reality of undermining.

While Igbos are more liberal, Yorubas are more conservative, then apart from all that, our elders have had a history of undermining each other and it need remain so, just Yesterday Doyen Okupe had thrown a Jab on the Igbos by bringing some classic rhetoric and just this morning Osita Chidoka had retaliated by lambasting Yorubas political Sage Obafemi Awolowo.

In all these it a clear evidence that both Yoruba and Igbo will live in mutual respect not friendship in a regional Nigeria or as sovereigns. We will still accuse each other on who imported the bio weapons in our each borders. Even when we both knows the truth we will like to hip the blame on the other.

Our two tribe suspicion could make or mare the continent, but as for us Igbos, the Yorubas remains the tribe we respect the most in the whole of Africa but you see friendship, we will choose even Fulanis as friends before choosing Yorubas. It just can't work we are natural adversaries, thank God at least we are a little far from each other.

" The great Awo had the interest of his people at heart and knew that a nigerian state was not doable reason why he opted for the succession clause.........."

He advocated for secession clause in 1953 but when the actual secession occurred (Eastern Region) in 1967, he ferociously fought against it. What a contradiction!

BSdetector:
No it's you Igbos that are just exactly like the fulani...... you're only pissed that you aren't the oppressor. The great Awo had the interest of his people at heart and knew that a nigerian state was not doable reason why he opted for the succession clause but the stupid zik because of his greedy igbo nature, false sense of grandeur and nazi like ideologies stood against Awo thinking it would benefit him and his half wit stupid tribesmen....we all know how that ended... you call Awolowo who pitied you subhumans with £20 evil when Nnamdi Azikiwe onced called Ojukuwu and your biafra forefathers rebels and begged France to stop sending aid to you idiots. you Igbos are pathetic victim complex fools. Yoruba's will always live rent free in your flatskulls.

You said the truth!

While some love freedom, some people love being under chains. I love freedom not chains. even if it takes our lives; our children will be better for it

Ojukwu and Biafra were dead right, after all

ShobayoEmma:
North believe in war before restructuring.
South believe in restructuring before war.



and the fundamental question remains




Can one take the captive from the might without a fight?


The West needs to fight for freedom now on we all die in the northern chains.




While some love freedom, some people love being under chains.
I love freedom not chains. even if it takes our lives; our children will be better for it

Which vision? If Duke had any iota of vision , he never would have embarked in such a White-elephant project that was destined to fail - and fail did it woefully fail.

Charly68:
They killed Duke's vision..blame the people that voted for visionless leaders

YOU SAID IT ALL!

Dotherightthing:
Yoruba land was enmeshed in a protracted civil war prior to the advent of colonialism. It was the British that ended it.

We Yorubas are united by Igbo and Hausas. Otherwise, we are our own enemies.

It is not just voting for Buhari, but not having a concrete plan on how to use the victory to effect political restructuring and institutiinal changes which Yoruba advocated in the last two and half decades in the aftermath of June 12 Election annulment.

That's the collosal shame and disappointment.

Oshigun:
Are you Igbos not ashamed about your own backwardness and lack of democratic savvy ?

Which advanced nation do you see citizens attempting to criminalise their fellow voters who made different electoral choice to them?

Stop making noise and focus on how to change the status quo in 2023 rather than continue ejaculating to the thought of shading others.

We left your Nigeria in 1967. You joined the North to force us back. You have to deal with us your entire lofw.

Fahdiga:
Typing from Benin Republic IDP

God bless you. You echoed my line of thought. They want to leave Nigeria for a few thousand Yoruba kiled but they question why Biafra seceded from Nigeria and vainly defend their ungodly role in fighting against Biafra secession.

ScamHunter:
Who would have believed that Yoruba would one day want Nigeria to break up. The same Yoruba that sided Fulani and MB to sabotage Biafra now wants Oduduwa. To love injustice is so bad. I still am awed with the paradox. Their love for free crude oil seems to have been minified by the blood of their people. So they now know that killing of one's kinsmen is enough reason to agitate for one's own country. But when Igbo were killed in the north, Igbo should not have wanted out of Nigeria. What goes around comes around. Anyway sha, I still will never take them serious because everything is politics to them. They may just be making noise to bring Fulani to negotiate and stop their plan of sending Tinubu to the gulag. Everyone should just keep looking at them because they'll always go behind and sell you out. The only genuine self-determination we are aware of is Biafra. When they wake up we'll know it is morning at their end.

You have been reasoning, unsuccessfully, with your brain for over 5 decades. Yet you don't know when to strike the iron when it is hot or look for the black sheep when the sin is up. That's why Fulani North dominate Nigeria today and treats you and the entire South like slaves

Monogamy:
Better than to chest beat and receive Python's treatment..

Yoruba's reason with their brain not with anus

You captured my mind

Brimstone77:
God knows I can't waste my time reading this long epistle that won't add shit to my life..

Go read Soyinka's civil war memoir, "The Man Died" and you will understand why Banjo does not deserve any honor from Ndigbo

Spandau:
It simply shows that anybody who is not Igbo frolicks with you guys at his own peril.

Why should Ndigbo honor the memory of Banjo?

Spandau:
Your hatred for Yorubas has been your people's undoing, starting from Zik. I bet you do not even know the meaning of your generational accusations against the Yoruba. You call them betrayers and back stabbers. When did any Yoruba man sit at the table with your political founding fathers to agree on anything? Did your founding fathers not prefer to frolick with Fulanis? You call them back stabbers; the Yoruba guys who ever agreed to run things together with your fathers( Banjo et al) ended up paying with their lives and up till today, their memory have never been honored either by your people or even Nigeria. The frolicked with Igbos in vain! You now sit down there and type rubbish as if Awolowo had any pact with Ojukwu concerning Biafra. Mtchewwwww! People that don't know what they want.

Blame the South.

saaron:
Hisbah islamic police, partly funded from VAT proceeds of Alcoholic drinks in the South destroying their source of income. Bloody brainless hypocrites.
And same islamist have the audacity to instigate violence and blooshed in their desperate bit to impose hijab on Christians owned schools in Kwara state.

There is nothing like Southern Nigerian.

BrandBrainBox:
I am a Southern Nigerian. But, most times, I'm ashamed to admit it. That's because I've noticed that Southern Nigeria might be the World Capital of Stupidity. Sorry my people but, please, hear me out first before the crucifixion.


The worst part of it is that most of us Southern Nigerians seem to think that we are wiser compared to the Northerners. Of course, a hallmark of fools is that they judge themselves by themselves - and their judgment always favors them against others. 


That's my Southern Nigeria for you - an enclave of highly educated fools. Once again, I'm sorry for this verbal brutality but I hope that - like bitter pills - it may help to heal our crass levels of foolishness here.


HERE IS A CASE IN POINT


Today, I read two first page posts that were adjacent to each other. One of the posts reports about 'a reign of terror' going on in the South-Eastern city of Onitsha while the other is talking about how some herder terrorists are still sacking Ogun residents and forcing them to flee to Benin Republic! 

www.nairaland.com/attachments/13256935_screenshot20210313154422_jpeg9749252ca286e93b482b069a6080330e


I believe that the Nairaland Admin purposely and wisely placed those two reports side by side to make Southerners think. But, instead, the Southerners (mainly Igbos and Yorubas) turned the reports into an opportunity for their usual online inter-tribal wars - trying to show which is better between Amotekun and ESN in very very bitter terms!


How much more stupid can we get as a people! Everywhere on Earth, it happens that a common enemy unites people. But not in Southern Nigeria - one reason why this may be the World Headquarters of STUPIDITY as I said earlier. How could we afford to be fighting each other at the same time that we are getting plundered by a common enemy!?! 


It's such a big shame to any Nigerian that Nigerians now have to flee to little Benin Republic in order to save their lives. But, it is a greater shame to Southern Nigerians (and to Yorubas in particular) that the people forcing us to flee our homes are from the far-away North - because of our extremely unwary attitudes like those of our ancestors for centuries now. It's also a shame that Igbos often complain about oppression from foreign terrorists but would so easily become terrorists unto themselves (as in the 'Onitsha reign of terror'). Is that how Igbos will run the Biafra they're looking for? As one of the shameless mockers noted about the Onitsha report:


 

We have become so stupid that our common enemy now has all the strings for controlling us. He knows the one to pull and get us to fight with each other. He knows the one to pull and we are begging him to rule us. Oh, it's so painful and shameful, chai!

WHAT SHALL WE DO THEN?

So, if any humanity or maturity is left in us, these things should make us too ashamed to easily be pointing accusing fingers at other people. Again, that's the height of stupidity.


Instead, both online and offline, we should be discussing and working and spending all our energy on getting ourselves out of this mess that our years of stupidity has gotten us into. Let's flee foolishness. Instead, let's learn the kind of wisdom that liberates people from personal/national slavery and shame.


Feel free to bash the hell out of me anywhere you think I got it wrong (because I'm also one of the Southern fools).

You speak the truth unvarnished!

nero2face:
Truth be told, if Nigeria split today, I bet u won't believe how the SE will develop, no be to get richest Dangote from Kano or former President Obasanjo from Ogun, the Igbos have thousands and millions of billionaires mostly abroad and these men will come back with full force to make their place a place to be as soon as this shit hole country is no more...mark my words

Absolutely right. They were ignorantly celebrating the enthronement of Fulani hegemony

gidgiddy:
They were celebrating their enslavement to the Sokoto caliphate. I hope they are alive today to see what their "one Nigeria" eventually became

Ojukwu was right to fight for his people to leave Nigeria, history has vindicated him

Show me an example where your political prescription was used. In the thick of anti-colonial fight to eject Britain from Nigeria, Nigerians were traveling to Britain for education and training.

You have a pedestrian understanding of deep issues.

Monogamy:


It don tey wey savage dey oo.

Gowon 12 - 0 Ojukwu



We have advised you people to relocate back to your region..

Stop collecting monthly oil money

Let all your reps, senators, serving ministers withdraw their service, after then we can take you people serious

That's why Nigeria i a failed state

naijaking1:
That's Nigeria for you. The one who prepared well, did his home work, and made better points looses and the ill prepared ones pass. Can you see a pattern in our national life? If you passed your exam well, the person who didn't pass well gets to be promoted better than you, if you're honest the dishonest ones arebetter appre ciated because of tribalism and ethnicity. Too bad.

Almost 100% of the claims you made in your post are outright falsehoods or half-truths. It is not backed by emprical evidence.

Difrent:
And you think it's the USA that should be telling us that?
Rockefeller, rotschilds , Ford's....all these families made generational wealth due to favouritism of america government. The same America that house apple ,facebook and google (the big 3) these companies KILL competition with the connivance of the American government....have you ever wondered why the big 3 are always having problems in europe and Asia ? It's because europeans and asians see them as threats to their own tech companies and have to restrict their use and in some case like france tax them heavily ,while american government is only concerned about privacy issues with the tech companies .
The same person you are accusing here doesn't control the petroleum industry where the big money is I would be bothered if he owned She'll or Chevron.... even as commodities merchant , he don't control noodles , pasta, milk, and is not even visible in the poultry industry with minimal show in agriculture. There's no business he does that others are not doing but like everywhere there must be leaders and him being an industry leader in cement is just as it should be , if not Dangote it could be someone else......or is the opposition just because he happens to be a northerner . I remember years back , most nigerian rich men were southerners...the Abiolas , the dehinde fernandez, the harry akandes of this world

Half-education is a terminal disease

The examples you gave to debunk the post is altrocious and dead on arrival(DOA)

HacheNoire:
Same US that cannot curb Jeff Bezos and Walton family

Gibberish, bunkum and balderdash.

Same America where 1% call shots for 99%

Next topic please!

Chestbeating coward? Allow me to use this word.

Akiara:
AND THESE PEOPLE SAID THAT THEY FOUGHT KIRIJI WAR"...

THIS IS AN INSULT TO THE YORUBA...WHO DELIGHT IN MOCKING PEOPLE!!

I SAID IT BEFORE AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN!!

IF THE NORTH WANTS TO FIGHT THE "SE" THEY SEND ARMY/NAVY/AIRFORCE/DSS/NDLEA/ ETC...

BUT IF THEY WANT TO FIGHT THE SOUTH WEST THEY SEND THEIR "FULANI MILITIA"....JUST IMAGINE!!

TOMORROW THESE "AFONJA" WILL OPEN THEIR MOUTH AND BE INSULTING SE...WHERAS THEY ARE "HOMELESS" IN THEIR OWN LAND!!

THEY SAID ..THEY SENT BEES TO CHASE THE FULANI....UNA FOR SEND SCORPION ..........IMAGINE NONSENSE??

SUNDAY IGHOHO....IS BUSY SAMPLING DIFFERENT TYPE OF "JUJU JERSEY"

THE FULANI ARE STILL IN THEIR BUSHES AND HAVE ESTABLISHED A VERY COMFORTABLE EXISTENCE ...EVEN WITH "GENERATOR" FOR ELECTRICITY!!

WHAT THEY KNOW BEST IS "MOCKING PEOPLE"...BUT THEY ARE ALREADY FINISHED!!

BEING A COWARD ISNT THE PROBLEM...BUT..

BEING A "CHESTBEATING" COWARD IS INSULTING AND DISGUSTING.!!!

No Wonder the called an average Yoruba a SOPHISTICATED slowpoke.

flokii:
Watch how they will rain insults and abuses on him for telling them the pure truth..

They killed our Premier first, killed Ahmadu Bello in the North but left all their own leaders and politicians intact.
They were slaughtered across the North in a counter coup which saw them move en masse back to the East where they declared biafura republic.

Instead of facing those who killed them in the North, they started bombing Lagos, killed all the minorities in Niger Delta and Mid West region, then made their way down South into Ore killing and bombing Yoruba people.. yet they claim Yorubas are betrayers.

Who even invited these folks into SW in the first place that they are flocking anyhow into our lands unchecked. Yoruba ronu o!

Does the same constitution say you cannot honorably resign to uphold your reputation and belief and to show that you are not part of the altrocities and impunities of the government?

TheRareGem1:
How?

Go and read the constitution. Know the function of the VP and stop exposing your ignorance here

Totally agree with you!

InaNla:
when you were all voting the FAILURE, una no know?

Good morning Yoruba. Ojukwu warned you in 1967.

ScamHunter:
My condolences. The fact remains that these governors are severely hampered by the north inspired Constitution. To stop the genocide, the country must see it for what it is - ethnic cleansing. Large swats of territories from the middlebelt to SW are being overrun by Fulani and no one is doing something concrete about it. This is the time to call for the amendment of the Constitution and restructuring. But I think for those Yoruba communities, it's already getting late since the Fulani never budge wherever they gain ground. I pray that our Yoruba people don't go the way of Birom, Tiv and others whose land are now largely in contest with the desert herders.

Absolutely right!

Macphenson:
Igbo people did not vote for Buhari.

Since 1983 Igbo people rejected Buhari because we know he is a calamity and a disaster.

He paired with our most respected politicians Chuba Okadigbo and Victor Umeh, yet we rejected the disaster of a president.

Yorubas out of their hatred for Jonathan voted Buhari.

Imagine a Nobel Laurette and professor Wole Soyinka voting an illeterate like Buhari.

Totally agree with you!

PARACLETOS:
The Prof is right. But unfortunately he voted in an illiterate to be his leader. Illiterates doesn't listen to educated because of low self esteem, pride and lack of focus. Enjoy your darling president in whom you so loved.

You hit the nail on the head!

gidgiddy:
It was unfortunate for the minorities of the old Eastern Region. The government of Gowon deceived them. Gowon told them that the Igbo man was their problem and created states. Little did they know that those states was going to be the the conduit pipe with which Gowon and his fellow Northerners would use to syphon all their resources and subjugate them.

Now they are shouting restructuring and the North says no. But when Ojukwu was fighting to see that nobody was under Northern domination, they could not see it.

Had they closed ranks with Ojukwu and fought, maybe Biafra would have stood, and if anything, they would only have Igbos to contend with in Biafra

But they foolishly sabotaged Biafra, now they are in a Nigeria where they have Hausa/Fulani, Yorubas and Igbos to contend with, making their situation much worse.

And how about Buhari's "COMPETENCE"

ThreeBlackBird:
Reno should give the guy a break. He's a politician and can be anything but a fanatic. The Otuoke weakling whom he worships day and night has been everywhere too. He even ran to Yoruba obas whose gods could barely win the critical local governments that mattered in the Yorubaland.

Reno should rest.


Jonathan's incompetence destroyed Jonathan. Don't hinge his failure on anyone. Not even Jonathan himself would do that.

Stop living in self-delusion. You are not any accomodators..

Oshigun:
Lol. Omokri alway pushing Igbos forward to confront others and further alienate themselves in the process while carefully always shielding his own ethnic origin and people.

Who, other than a divisive bigot, can compare events between warring factions during a Civil War to a peace time situation where there is no official and government-sanctioned declaration of war?

I notice the hypocritical Omokri wants to codedly berate the Yorubas without even commenting on the absurdity and illegality of what the North is doing.

I am personally loving this. Just hope naive, 'liberal' and irritating Yorubas can now see, in 3D, what some of us have always argued which is that Yorubas should begin to be more insular and protectionist rather than continue naively and unrewardingly playing "accomodators" to the many ingrates around us.

I can only imagine where Yorubas would be now if we are as clannish, intolerant and protectionist in our land as Igbos and Northerners are in their region.
