I know blame you. I blame One Nigeria. Everything that has a beginning surely has an end.
IamWonderful: You can compare Boko Haram and IPOB, although both are terrorist groups, IpoB members are self-made delusionists why most of the Boko Haram fighters are victims of coercion and threat, they don't wish to join but we're forced, that is why US joined their rehabilitation program, why IPOB is self-inflicted delusion
But the economy, comparatively, was far better under Jonathan.
Ceegar01: I think Buhari is trying his best just that he inherited governance from an incompetent otuoke man who messed this country up with his gang of thieves
Ilekeh: Of course Igbos will mess up this thread because it's titled "Yoruba" and because they know the end is near.
They're afraid to leave Yorubaland.
They're afraid of forming their own government, of standing alone, of not having Lagos ports to embark on Malaysia journey. They're afraid, that's why Yoruba's federalism project did not passed through. Each region should be responsible for its own survival/growth.
Igbos won't have ND oil money to steal. The likes of Allison Madueke won't have money to buy Hyde park.
If Yorubas can't have federalism, then let's pull out.
Is biafra a woman or a puzzyazz negro in this picture?
There was an Adebayo of Western Region and Johnson of Lagos before Diya. There was the entire Yoruba Military officers who chickened out and allowed the North to ride rough shod over them in the 1966/67 crisis.
Dedetwo: Before Oladipo Diya, there was one Babafemi Ogundipe who was scared out of wit by a mere sergeant.
Ojukwu VS Yoruba Military Counterparts: Who is the Evidence-based Coward?
Evidence #1 The counter-coup by the North did not succeed in Eastern Region. It succeeded in the Western Region. Eastern Nigeria did not come under the control of Gowon dictartorship until the collapse of Biafra in January 1970. On the other hand, Western Region fell, like a pack of cards, to the hands of Northern Nigerian Army.
Evidence #2 Ojukwu vehemently rejected the hijack of power by the Hausa/Fulani and refused to recognize Gowon as the legitimate Head of State. He insisted on military order of succession and the emergence of Ogundipe as the rightful successor to Ironsi. When the north refused he said Bleep YOU and declared Eastern Region liberation from the Northern Nigeria enslavement. He led Biafra for 30-months while your kinsmen were eating AMALA AND EWEDU. He left two days before the collapse of Biafra.
Evidence #3 Your Kinsman and Yoruba general Brigadier Ogundipe had no liver to condemn Northern hijack of power. He humiliated and hounded out of the country by Northern soldiers. They imposed Gowon, his junior on Southern Nigeria. Instead of challenging them and raising an opposition from London where he self-exiled, he again chickened out for the second time and instead shamelessly accepted the position of Nigeria High Commissioner to UK and became a spokesman for the very government headed by Gowon that humiliated him and denied him his rightful position. Only a Yorubaman will accept to become a obedient slave to a man that raped his wife and took his property.
Evidence #4 Two other Yoruba officers (Joseph Edet Akinwale Wey and Adeyinka Adebayo) were ahead of Gowon and were next in line of succession to Ogundipe. Similarly, the Northern officers told them "Bleep YOU & Bleep OFF" and imposed Gowon on them. Adebayo and the entire Yoruba Military lined up behind the Northern Military like a lamp to the slaughter in the Nigerian-Biafra War - a war which the Hausa/FulanI fought for the enthronement of Hausa/Fulani hegemony while their Yoruba counterparts were used as disposable tools.
The statement that best encapsulates the question Who is a coward between Yoruba and Ndigbo of Nigeria is Emiliano Zapata Salazar's (the general of the southern Mexican revolutionary army. Also, the main leader of the peasant revolution in the state of Morelos, and the inspiration of the agrarian movement called Zapatista:
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees”
Quotes
helinues: We could see where bravery led people from upper Iweka bridge to.. That was why they wasted millions of innocent people, when they could have avoided the civil war by all means..
We have seen where bravery led , Usain Bolt Master, Lamidi Kanu , to by sacrificing his innocent members for his selfish gains when the Python visited.
Ojukwu fled to Ivory Coast Kanu fled to Ghana
Brave master, we are really learning from your bravery.
tribalmall: The funny thing about foolish n demented Igbos like you are was nurtured from the womb with irredeemable bigotry, chronic hate n endemic foolishness is complaining about the same hate you have been nurtured with right from the womb or how else do one explain igbo claiming the world hate but won't mention a thing about those you hate ?!
bolaayenimo: Babajide Ogunsanwo, Channels television data analyst said Yobe state alone is bigger than all the five states in the South East combined.. That means Yobe is bigger than Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo.
No wonder they call you folks Sophisticated morons. What terms? You have no liver and backbone to fight for your liberation. That's why Hausa/Fulani has been cleaning their ass with Yorubas. In the last 50 years, Arewa North has abused, insulted, disgraced, killed, slaughtered and murdered Yorubas. Yet the best you can offer is: Yorubas will leave Nigeria on their own terms. What a chicken- hearted people!
Is04970: Yoruba will leave Nigeria on their own terms. Secession with Nnamdi Kanu and is fellow betrayals could be dangerous. The video here is of an Igwe betraying his colleagues on the media Shame. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1dJZEdMOvE
proeast: If it were any other ethnic group that were at the receiving end of that unfortunate civil war, they would have been done for. Consider this, by 1970 when the war ended. Our economy was wiped out, cities destroyed, bank accounts made useless and all. Yet a few years later, the Igbos were able to bounce back, even without any form of government assistance! It is interesting to note that virtually all the billionaires in Igboland today, are first generation. That is to say, they all became rich through their own personal efforts and not inheritance.
The enterprenuel, adventurous and can-do spirit of the Igbos, coupled with a culture and tradition that gives everyone equal opportunity, is the biggest asset of the Igbos.
Thank you my brother. What is your ethnic nationality?
dangermouse: True talk. I give it to the Igbos for thier bussines foresight and doggedness. A neigbour (not igbo), who owns an almost empty shop but has 24\7 free supply of light from a cold room next block, but was always cash strapped had her fortunes turned arround by a simple advice from an igbo man who also owns a building material shop nearby. The advice? Construct a mutiple switch board and start charging phones for people at 50 naira per full battery charge. The woman makes more than 3k daily from doing this and is ever grateful to him. Today she has one of the biggest provision stores arround by being mentored by the igbo man. The old widow still charges phones till date as it was what turned her fortunes arround. Igbos sees bussines oppourtinities where others fail to see it. I equally state without shame today that 70% of what i am today, was from ideas from my igbo friends. Embrace them and stop hating them out of jealousy.
Wolgrace: It's all about the rewards for their allegiance.. 2015 till date, they have been promoting the players of the game on southerners to gain and retain power.
-2023 is the next game to feast on.. Yorubas are cowards and actionless noisy lions..
Hope your ethnic nationality will lead the fight to liberate the south. Southern Nigeria sold themselves for short and into Arewa North slavery when they aligned with the Hausa/Fulani to fight Biafra.
You crying over spilled milk.
okuta007: exactly - we are not equally yoked - southern Nigeria is in an abusive relationship and only southern Nigeria can free herself from it
brightdestiny96: 200 million unharnessed, disempowered, disunited, misruled, oppressed people? Colonized from within, polarized by militant religion, plagued by rulers beating the drums of war and unconcernedly picking their teeth while violent and merciless marauders spill blood like water, with vanishing annual budgets and spiralling debt profiles? Did I forget a vocal band of praise singers who are paid peanuts?
Let's tell ourselves the truth before it's too late.
Which IT experts or medical experts?Where are they?
Olominira: So because Obama visited Ghana, that has made Ghana more influential than Nigeria? Nonsense!
Even though Nigeria is currently at the bottom of all times, no Africa country is more influential. From our entertainment, positions at UN, IT experts, medical etc no other African nation can match that output.
Nigeria influence is growing and tends to challenge superpowers in the future, the reason why western media even those from Asia are not reporting anything good about the nation. We don't care about Obama and whatever he represents.
This person should focus on the biggest truth, it's USA that loosing her influence so fast not Nigeria
How did you arrive at the 200 million? You response shows JennIfer's is populated by dullards.
favor914: Nigeria a mockery? Only poor people say that, You are very ignorant, do you know what it is to have 200 million people in a region, Nigeria’s Population makes over half of West Africa, Obama chose to go to Ghana good luck to him, Lagos Economy alone, & GDP is bigger than Ghana’s.
okocha55: Greetings my Naija brothers, the time has come to put an end to this current Nigeria we cannot stand once more.

You wake up in the morning and before you go to bed; and your pre-occupation and most important issue that task your intelligence and time is Ndigbo - rather than the existential crisis that confronts you ethnic nationality.
What a waste of time and intellect!
Osaze007: What were they planning to do ? How would they have shared resources as they were the poorest region in Nigeria then
