Sorry for being scammed in Alaba market. But Igbos have also been scammed in Alaba market. So because 12 Igbo traders scammed you in Alaba market that means criminality is in their blood. That's a classic example of fallacy of anecdotal evidence.

Are Yorubas not involved in all manner of crimes?:Or you think the Igbo crimes in Alaba are the only crimes in Nigeria. Are Igbos more criminally minded than your kinsmen? It is height of hypocrisy when a professor in criminality accuses a graduate assistant in criminality of being a criminal.

Yorubas (and their partner in crime Hausa/Fulani) are the leading ethnic groups in pepertrating the most grievous crimes and acts of corruption in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a failed state because of the criminal legacies of of both the Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani - the two ethnic groups that has dominated the commanding heights of Nigeria economy and politics - not because of Igbo criminality.




Q

BlowYourMind:
No I am not obsessed about igbos, my gorgeous ex was igbo,I have been on this platform since 2015, I have to deactivate the account, I don't really care until about 12 igbos came together to scam me in Alaba market, non of them can even tell the others that what they are doing is not right, support each others in crime, even a cripple! that magnitude of Yoruba will never be united in crime to that extend, one of the them will chicken out that will destroy their plan, that invariably shows that they are wicked and heartless, it is in their blood, I wish I can grant them biafra, they are deadlier than serpent

The Tragedy called Nigeria II

Nigeria has a GDP of circa $300 billion but has a Tax-to-GDP
ratio of 6%...among the lowest in the world! 6% translates into $18billion In a fiscal year. That's the best the federal
government gets in taxes! Adding government's take on oil
revenues adds just a little to it. Oftentimes, we average
$25billion for the federal government per fiscal year!
$25 billion...for 200 million people?
$25 billion to finance the federal government budget per
annum?
$25 billion to bring Nigeria from the 3rd world to the 1st
world? Really?
The Municipality of New York City has an annual budget
averaging $100 billion! Just a city!
The state of California budgets about $208 billion!
The Peoples Republic of China budgets $3.4trillion.
The US federal government budgets $3.8 trillion!
Just look at those numbers them weep for a country that
budgets $25 billion which is several hundred percent less than the budget of the City of New York!
Whereby the Nigerian State depends mostly on oil revenues
and taxes from corporate organizations/PAYE of the
personnel, sane countries depend on the entrepreneurship of
her Citizens to finance budgets! What about the entrepreneurship of the Nigerian?
The federal government has employed the 1999 constitution to castrate the entrepreneurship of her Citizens such that the
citizens hardly make enough to sustain themselves talk less of contributing some taxes!

6% Tax-to-GDP ratio in Nigeria is ridiculous! It's 20% in South
Africa, 41% in France, 39% in Britain and even 16% in Mexico!
But Nigeria hardly gets the $18billion on the GDP when they
could easily get $50 billion on less than 30%!

The Nigerian State depends on loans to finance the annual
budgets! They have borrowed us into trouble! The Nigerian
State owes about $81 billion in foreign and domestic Liam's
now. There's no way of paying back with the current Nigerian
system! But who's bothered? The Government? They're even
oblivious! Little does the Nigerian establishment understand that as long as they keep Economic controls locked with the Exclusive List of the 1999 constitution, they shall continue to make people poor but they shall not be rich either! (Onye ji mmadu na'ala Ji onwe ya). The one that holds a person down holds down self!

In the quest for federal control of all resources, the Nigerian
State has succeeded in holding itself down and making
everyone including themselves poor and miserable!
The federal government actually thinks that the proliferation of FIRS offices would substantially increase the tax revenue base!

We could tell them for free that the Unit Cost per Naira to
collect taxes shall erode whatever tax gains they might hope
to get! The graph peaks at a point around the 8% mark after
which marginal increases in the unit cost would actually bring about negative tax additions!

The Exclusive List is a vicious circle...the 1999 constitution is
callous to both the drafters and the people! We are all victims!

Our entrepreneurial spirit has been amputated by that
constitution, so is( our)the potential wealth of the people!
Maybe we should inform them that the tax revenues of other
countries are based on the fundamental principles of the
lowest forms of government in such countries...the
Municipality! Oh, we could tell them how the Municipalities
function with databases, company registrations and local
GDPs to drive the national wealth of those countries. But we
shall not for they're too dumb to comprehend...too far to see... Bloody Pharisees!
We invite you to note that there is no way on mother earth that the current abominable constitution of Nigeria could create wealth! Without the wealth of the people, no government at any level in Nigeria could increase her tax revenues! Without larger tax revenues, there shall be no development! Whatever little is left at the center is fought over by politicians and their minions like rabid hyenas! The result shall continue to be a country waiting to die!

Yes, they employ the 1999 constitution to hold us down, but
they shall remain down, poor and beggarly too as a result! So
let's keep that useless constitution that makes us all poor and validate it as usual! Poverty shall continue to spread like
wildfire!

The choice is yours; mine is to ensure you know!
Nigeria as constituted, is a poverty stricken tragedy!
# thinkAgain!

NB: This is where I come to rant after a long day.

Absolutely right!

SLAP44:
10 points to note about this topic.

1. Onyemekukwe was a trained expert on electrical matters

2. He designed Nigerian electrical grid and was instrumental to running it till the war broke out

3. He must have fled Lagos like others

4. When he returned, his position has been given to one of those who won the war

5. The person who took his position might be a mediocre quota system figure head who is just occupying the position just because they won the war.

6. Electricity expansion and maintenance took a nose dive as the winner of the war took all money making positions and milked the nation dry.

7. Onyemekukwe got frustrated and left to form his own private company after the war, later got fed up as Nigeria continued to die in instalments, so he relocated abroad to allow Nigeria to die very well.

8. Till today Nigerian electricity is still wallowing in the wilderness with zero hope in sight.

9. Till we find good people that will forgive Nigeria and work with their whole energy and God given talents, Nigeria will continue to descend to Yemen levels.

10. That is the story of Nigeria.

Wishful thinking. Your so-called youths arebworse than theie prarents and grandparents.

Jwonder:
If only we the youths of this great nation can push aside our differences and fight for our dear nation.
These evil men and their children steal the Nation dry, and turn back to tell the youths “E Go Beta”, “Be Patriotic”, “Nigeria will be great again”
PURE LIES!! WAKE UP YOUTHS! Leave this senseless Aboki, Afonja, Ipob banter and let’s all come together to fight our common enemies POLITICIANS.

Please when and how did Zik rule for 3 years?

needanswer:
what of chief Nnamdi azikwe. he ruled for 3 years too. the Ibo of cause are the least of the major groups to rule but are the Ibo's truly interested in ruling Nigeria or their own state?

you have made a good argument for minority rule,i'll look more into it. while I do that though remember those rule where majorly during the military. in democracy where popular and numbers in tribe matters such rule for minority groups will be much harder

Talk and talk!

musa234:
Just talk, talk and more talk. Nothing changes

You are right. It is all for show!

Lyydia:
All is for the camera.. Nothing is going to change

You hit nail on the head.

Mordecai:
At first, they told us we needed a Sovereign National conference.

At some point, constitutional amendment.

Then GEJ held a National Conference, after which his government courageously allowed a little progressive change in the electoral system, and as a result of that change, lost power to them.

They then ridiculed the National Conference to no end. They threw away the outcome of the conference, stated that Nigeria is okay as currently structured. That our only problem is corruption. That PDP's misrule for 16 years was our worst mistake.
They said we do not need restructuring, that State Police is unnecessary. That our Police is enough.
They defended Baba's 97%/5% policy. They made appointments dependent on what tribe's genes you carry. That merit doesn't matter when the President loves Nigeria, is well-intentioned, and is fighting corruption.
At a point, an independent legislature became the scapegoat for our national problems. Because Baba needs the support of everyone in government. Dissenting views aren't welcome.

Today, Baba owns the legislature. Yet, for some reason, these legislators are still the problem, because they won't vote themselves out of existence.

Now that it's clear that nothing is working, what do they tell us? That we need a NATIONAL DEBATE.

Back to square one. National Conference Debate.

Please, how did they convince anyone that they'll be good for Nigeria?

I absolutely agree!

einsteine:
Abike Dabiri is a hypocrite and an ethnic chauvinist who should not hold national position. Give her something in Afenifere or let her represent Yoruba Muslims in the Senate or something. Allowing biased people like her to hold positions that require the representation of the interest of all is one of Nigeria's problems.

Absolutely! Social media has changed the rules of the game.

InvertedHammer:
/
Not a big deal.

No particular tribe has control over the media unlike before when many tribes were muscled in Nigeria using print media.

Everyone knows the truth. Abike Dabiri failed to recognize that the train has left the station.

Nigeria restructured in 1967 via Aburin Accord but some folks fought against it. Your call for total restructuring is coming over 5 decades late?

Princedapace:
You can't take away tribalism from Nigerians. It is why I support complete restructuring of the country to reduce over dependance on the central govt.

She is obviously a bigots. The political class can't do much since they are tribal bigots. And u can't heal this tribalism of a thing. U can only reduce it but can't eradicate it.

The best for the entire country is to separate or restructure into six regions with weaker central govt. This will benefit the Nigerian people more than the political class. The Nigerian masses need fight to get this becus none of the political class will fight to get it.

Social media has altered the rules of the game.

WAT U SAW THERE, IS A CLASSIC YORUBA MEDIA PLOY.


THAT IS THE WAY THEY OPERATE.


THIS IS HOW THE ENTIRE NATION IS MENTALLY CONDITION, VIA YORUBA MEDIA.

Please why is he a fool?

barragan:
You are a fool.

Are the Igbos the only one lamenting? What a childish comment.

Chlerion:
Nothing in this world makes me happy than seeing Igbos lamenting and crying. I love seeing them gnashing their teeth, suffering and dejected...and everytime I read threads like this, my heart always fill with joy and satisfaction.

Long may your woes continue...amen

The Igbos will never fight Yorubas if they decide to secede. We will take a "siddon look" approach unlike Yorubas who joined the North to fight Biafra and kill Igbos and their fellow Easterner brothers.

AceRoot:
-----START OF PART 2------ from Moses OludeleIdowu

My point is Yoruba's too have a hand in Nigeria's problems. If Nigeria is today a rogue state, a bandit state, we too helped in making it so just like the Ibos, Hausa-Fulanis etc. I refuse to blame any tribe for what has happened to Nigeria. We are all involved and we must all solve this together. Leaving the Union is defeatism and a nation is not built on defeatism or on frustration.

SPECIFIC ISSUES

I now address specific issues about the proposed Oduduwa Republic for your consideration.

There is a lot of fantasy, incoherent inconsistencies, phantasmagoria about the Yoruba nation.

Some people have a hidden agenda but they don't want to tell us. All they do is to couch their demand under the dubious revival of a glorious past in a supposed Yoruba republic. We should be careful.

We talk of the past as if the past is Eldorado's. It is not. We talk of Awoas if he was perfect and a saint. He was not. He was a great man, perhaps one of the greatest from this land but he is not god. He never saw himself as such. I am old enough to know him and to read his campaign speeches.

The man who was promoting the Oduduwa Republic from the video footage made some interesting statements. Funny and amusing.

He said Yoruba land had television before France. This is not a good argument, even if it were true.

I ask you, is television an achievement? Was television invented by a Yoruba man or woman? How much of the history of television do we know?

John Baird who invented it cried when he saw the havoc and the perversion of purpose that his invention was been used for as against the intended purpose. That is why it is amusing that in 2020 someone is crediting television as an achievement. So I do not see how having a television in 1949 ahead of France gives us any cause for laughter.

Congo has printed as far back as the 18th century before many European nations due largely to Catholic efforts who needed it. Of what use is a technology without the know-how to operate it? Is the PDP a success because the GSM telephony occurs under their watch or because MTN came under their rule?

I am also surprised that someone is celebrating 50- storey in Dugbe, Ibadan as achievement. It is not, it is a bad investment, a developmental mistake. High rise structures are built where there is a constraint of land space. I should know. Ibadan or Southwest did not have that problem in the 1950s or even now.

These are the list of firsts Yoruba's are touting that they want to recreate the Awo miracle. This would be a fatal mistake because none of their proposed leaders is an Awo or in the mode of an Awo or an Aluko for that matter.

And times have changed.

Again I present the following for our consideration.

1. I ask a very pointed question: Would Yorubas live together? A foolish question, you would say. But not so foolish or insolent. The differences are there and the cleavages are there. Because we are in Nigeria often time we don't see them but they are there. In the Oduduwa Republic those differences will now come to the open and magnified. How then do we address them?

The Aladura scholar, Professor J.D.Y Peel noted during his research in Yoruba land in the 1960's that the differences between Yoruba sub-tribe, the Ekiti, Ijebus, Egbas, Oyo's etc are as wide as those between the tribes of Nigeria. In other words, the Ekitis are as different from the Ijebus as the Hausa's are to the Ibos. If you have not observed this, you are not very observant. The white man was right.

Because we are together in Nigeria we don't see this but now in the Oduduwa Republic they will cone magnified. How will the Yoruba Republic handle them, because they will not go away?

Will Ijebus accept the rulership of the Egbas? Will Oyo's allow the Ijebus to lord it over them and continue with their exploitation from their bitter history? Will Ijeshas forget their ancient animosity to the Oyo's and what they suffered in their hands or revive them?

That a wound is covered does not mean it has been healed. If the Oduduwa republic becomes a reality you will all see the truth of what I am saying. All the major wars that have been fought in Yoruba land have been fought among Yoruba's themselves. Not outsiders. The Yoruba gods or demons do not destroy strangers, they destroy their own children. Soon you will see what I am saying.

2. We often speak of the Old Western Region as if it was perfect. There were injustices and racism but which we should not reopen for peace sake.

All the projects done by the Action Group government how many of them were sited in Ondo- Ekiti- Ijesha axis? Yet the cocoa plantation and money that made the West came substantially from there. How many cocoa plantations exist in Ijebu- Egbas axis, yet the projects were concentrated here. How just is that? Read Professor Ayandele'sbreakdown and judge for yourselves. So if there were imbalance even in those days of yore how are we so sure that the Oduduwa Republic will not be a miniature Nigeria, with more problems but with less resilience to handle them?

The Itshekiri and Delta regions of Warri actually voted to leave the West and have their own region. If they were fairly treated why did they leave?

The old Ondo and Ekiti are equally agitated to have their own state from the West because they saw that they were being exploited by the Ijebusand the Egbas in the West. Will all these now go away when we have Oduduwa republic?

3. We have also forgotten that exploitation is in the nature of man, whether white or black. There is exploitation among Yoruba's too.

Someone is collecting 15% of the entire revenue of a state in the Southwest now. And we all know about this and nothing is done about it, yet you are complaining about Nigeria being a failed state. How are you sure Oduduwa republic will not be a greater failure? Which other parts of Nigeria does this happen?

How many states in southwest pay minimum wage? But the North is paying?

So who is the exploiter of the people, their own people?

How many states in the North pay obnoxious pensions to former governors, but southwest do. Which state started this racket?

These are the people and their cronies that will rule the proposed Oduduwa republic. Not the brains but the dregs and the race of usurpers who have profited from years of unrestrained looting of the public till.

4. Have you asked yourself, where is the industrial base that we will use for take-off. Virtually all the viable banks, industries etc in Lagos- Ibadan axis today are owned by strangers, not Yoruba's. Have you thought of this?

Rome did not collapse in one day, it was gradual. Yoruba's are yet to see that they are in a big mess, far bigger than they envisage, not because of Nigeria but because of themselves.

5. In the Oduduwa republic which traditional ruler will be supreme? Will Alaafin accept the supremacy of Ooni or vice-versa? Or will the dispute continue?

6. Racism and Hegemony among the Yoruba's. There is another serious issue. In the Republic how do we handle the racism and hegemony of the Yoruba's? Perhaps you may not know, I tell you today that there is also racism among the Yoruba.

We have spoken so loud about Hausa- Fulani oligarchy that we have forgotten that there is also Egba- Ijebu hegemony over Yoruba affairs. We used to hammer Kaduna Mafia, but we also forget Ikenne Mafia.

Look at this. During the 2014 Conference, 6 slots were allocated to the Yoruba group, Afenifere and they shared the slits among themselves. Not a single slot was given to anyone to represent Yoruba's in Kogi and Kwara. But when they want to negotiate for the power they remember they have their brethren in Kogi and Kwara and that Yoruba land extended to Jebba and Lokoja, but when it comes to the representation they forget them. As the Americans say, "Taxation without representation is tyranny "- these are the men, schemers, promoting Oduduwa republic. Please think very well, my people in Kogi and Kwara states, so that you don't change one slave master for another.

What about racism among Yoruba's? It exists. Ijebu racism that sees everyone as strangers except only they, even in the Church too.

Yorubas have told me, "Can we also call you Yoruba's, those of you from Kwara?" Not once or twice. As a lecturer I knew the trouble fellow Yorubas gave me. I have never heard of a Fulani man doubting the legitimacy of another Fulani because he came from a different place. Neither the Ibos or Hausa's or Ijaws. Only among the ones who call themselves the children of Oduduwa. That is why I wait to see how that republic will work as long as Yoruba's remain who they are. I wait.

THE REALITY OF WAR

I now come to my last issue and conclusion. Here I am talking about reality. What does this sum to in real life?

Oduduwa Republic means war. If you don't know, know it now. There cannot be the Oduduwa Republic unless there is a secession of the Yoruba from Nigeria and secession means war unless two conditions subsist namely:

* If all the stakeholders to agree to go as in defunct USSR or

* If the secessionist group is the largest and the strongest and can bully the others.

The two cases above are not likely to happen, so the implications are war. I hope the promoters know this?

So I ask is Yoruba land today prepared for war with Nigeria?

Mind you, you will not be fighting not just the Fulani's or Hausas but the whole of Nigeria.

Why?

Because Lagos is strategic to Nigeria, to its economy, prosperity etc thus whoever controls Lagos will not be allowed to leave Nigeria except at the cost of war.

2. Are Yoruba's prepared at this time to face all the regions at the same time? Do we have the wherewithal to prosecute the war?

Hausa's will fight you because they have said and boasted long ago that Yorubas are the next tribe they want to deal with. I heard this in 2010 in Zaria during my research. You will now play into their hands.

The Ibos will fight you because of the poison sown into them over the Civil War that Yorubas betrayed them, which is not true. But most Ibo youths believed this and that is what matters. Some will fight you desperately because you brought Buhari over them whom they have rejected and who has been, to be honest to the fact, an unmitigated disaster.

The Ijaws will fight you for removing Jonathan from power...

The Fulani will fight you for opposing their Fulani Republic on the back of Nigerian wealth.

The Middle belt may fight you for creating their misery through Buhari.

And so on.

I don't know how you will win this battle. I don't see how you can win all these with things as they are.

No, I am not a defeatist, I am a realist.

4. Division among the Yoruba's. Even when there is unity success in battle is not assured, how much when there is division?

Are Yoruba united at this time? I doubt it. There are Islamists who are even opposed to Amotekun and don't see anything wrong with Buhari, a fellow Muslim. Everything Buhari does is okay like our rubber-stamp Senate. Islamists, there are Islamists among Yoruba's. They will oppose and can even be the fifth columns in a war.

There are still politicians who are benefiting from Nigeria who have made investment towards 2023 and want to see their ambition realised. And they have their cronies, tools, aides, who control the press, the traditional power of the southwest. This will not be keen on any Oduduwa Republic. They can subvert it.

So with all these how do you win a war with Nigeria?

5. People who have never seen a war are usually happy and excited about war but war must be avoided at all cost. Unless it becomes inevitable.

As a Christian I am not a pacifist, I am a Just War theorist in the mould of Augustine and Martin Luther. I will fight if it comes to that, but not for an Oduduwa Republic that is now being promoted in view of all I have raised here.

No one is driving Yoruba's from Nigeria, so why leave? All the evils been enumerated Yoruba's too have a hand in them and if OduduwaRepublic is created today they will still manifest those problems. So what is the hazzle?

You only know when a war begins no one knows when it would end. Think of the Sudanian Civil War.

I warn these youths and elites promoting this venture to tread softly. It is better not to fight than to fight and win. War is evil. Only when it is Just War as conceptualized by Cicero, Augustine etc. A just war is any war fought to stop aggression or remove the cause of evil. My next article will be on this.

CONCLUSION

In view of all I have said here I think the time is not right for a secession. We should promote and canvass Sovereign National Conference where we can have a return to regionalism or even a confederal arrangement mutually agreed upon.

We did not have a civil war in 1993 yet we brought down the military without firing a shot. That is power.

We don't need a revolution of fighting that is what brought us here. What we need is a revolution of perception, to quote David Icke.

Fighting changes nothing. You become what you fight.

Gandhi brought down a British empire in India without firing a shot. That is what we need.

The problem of Nigeria is that we have never really had a government worth its name. We have no leaders but mascaras, jesters and clowns. Most of what we blame on Nigeria are actually troubles caused by misleadership.

But hatred should not be reason to leave a nation. You cannot found a nation on hatred, frustration, mutual antagonism. That is why the Oduduwa republic promoters should watch it. Nations are built on ideals, values, ethos, truths, vision not hate, mutual antagonism, misgivings etc. That is what caused the APC problem. They came together to float a party not on any ideology but on hatred of PDP and Jonathan. And now that Jonathan and PDP are no more insight they deploy the same hate to each other and know not what to do with Nigeria. Look at Ogun State, Edo State, Ondo, state etc., they are fighting each other. Those who sow the wind reap the whirlwind.

Too bad.


Thanks for your patience, dear reader.

Don't mind the coward. They are often using diplomatic words to rationalize their timidity and cowardice in the face of Hausa/Fulani harassment.

Veqtor:
You just blabbing gibberish. Who is violent? How many times have you heard that ipob took up arms or killed? Or are you bipolar? Stir that nonsense talk towards the fulani bandits killing people everywhere ok.

Sophisticated morons! The North has killed, tortured, imprisoned and humiliated Yorubas in the last 50 years and ever ready to deploy violence to sustain Nigeria's fraudulent federalism. Instead of strategizing on how Yoruba can counter Fulani quest to dominate Nigeria, you are here rationalizing Yoruba timidity and cowardice. TUFIAKWA!

BlowYourMind:
We aren't pigs, thugs and miscreants, we are enlightened and educated, we don't struggle, we can't wallow in the mire with pigs, so we are different from you, we are people of no violence, so your unproductive methods is forbidden for us, we talk and dialogue not causing chaos and panic, we agitate according to the dictate of the law, we don't break the law.

Why arevyou Ndigbo-obscessed?

BlowYourMind:
You are right my brother but they are better than nna,Eze and obi that see a mere fulani cow-man python dancing their sons in the mud, they sat in their huts with their Calabash of palm-wine and can't raise their voice above the roof, a mere commissioner of police threatened them, it is so pathetic they would have run to ivory coast if they had the money like their illustrious son, quite a pity

When Kanu said that Buhari is dead, they called him names but the
shenanigans unraveling frequently in Aso Rock and around Aisha proves Kanu right. Don't you think so?

Davash222:
Miffed by this, Tunde had the First Lady's ADC, Usman Shugaba, Escort Commander and other policemen attached to the first family arrested and detained.


But, let's be frank, are we sure Buhari is truly in power? How can an ordinary Personal Assistant have the First Lady's ADC, Escort Commander and policemen attached to the first family arrested and detained?? Such effrontery!
Something fishy is going on in that Aso rock that we don't know yet.

They did not kill us alone. They killed 3 million of us in alliance you Yoruba and other minority groups and supported by Britain, USSR, Egypt , Cameroon etc. In fact the majority of the 3 million died from the inhuman policies of your kinsman Awolowo - not from military casualties.
For almost 3 years we fought Nigeria with nothing but our heart. We
chose to fight for freedom and liberty in an independent Biafra because we knew what life was going to be in a post-Biafra Nigeria dominated by Fulani hegemony.

Though we lost the battle of Biafra's self-determination, we won the war against Nigeria. Nigeria is a failed entity today. Biafrans - and Ojukwu is laughing at all of you.We are psychologically and emotionally more prepared for survival in a failed entity like Nigeria

You and your kinsmen are shameless. You are Ndigbo- obsessed but Yoruba issue/interest/future unperturbed. You spend innumerable hours castigating Ndigbo and Ojukwu instead of asking yourself soul-searching questions:

WHAT ACTUALLY DID YORUBA GAIN FOR THE ALIGNING WITH THE NORTH TO FIGHT BIAFRA?

ARE YORUBAS BETTER OFF TODAY IN ONE NIGERIA THAN WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ODUDUWA REPUBLIC?
Shame on you and your kinsmen. Hausa/Fulani is laughing at your collective stupidity and daftness!


P.S. Has winning presidential election changed the fortune of 99% of Yorubas? Will it change the fortune of hundreds of mllions of fitire unborn Yoruba. That you even adduce this useless arguement on public forum is a testament that the average Yoruba is indeed a SOPHISTICATED slowpoke!

LegendHero:
But they killed nearly 3 million of your kinsmen on the stupidity of Ojukwu and yet you guys still sucked a Fulani Atiku cum in the last presidential election.

Yoruba have won a presidential election thrice in Nigeria and the Igbos are still second fiddle to Ijaws a minority tribe.

2023 also, you guys will still suck Atiku rectum. So bro who exactly lost to the Fulanis? Yorubas or Igbos?

So you now appreciate Nwosu - when it suits you.

Gforce2015:
Son of a bitterness. Go and ask Humphrey Nwosu who was the NEC umpire..and stop disgracing yourself in the public....
Igbo doesn't have any heritage in nigeria.... E ma seru ku ni

Daniel Kanu of YEAA was a smart political entrepreneur who cashed on Abacha's lust to succeed himself and developed a perfect political product to sell to Abacha and ultimately hit the jackpot.

You should admire him for his injenuity. He was a nonentity before and after YEAA. Have you heard of him politically since them? Is he a respected Igbo leader? The answers are NO.

Besides he was not in government. His one million march was a ruse. Were they even upnto 10000 people?

The culprits are your kinsmen - Diya, Shonekan, Obasanjo, Ooni of Ife, Jakande, Babatope, Onaguruwa, Abimbola - and a host of Yoruba timber and caliber who were willing tools to murder Abiola
Can you compare the profile and status of the forementioned with a. Igbo nonentity like Kanu?

Racoon:
The infamous Daniel Kanu's "YEAA"

Which your people fought Abacha?

There 3 categories of people in the anti-Abacha tyranny and pro-June 12 fight:
.
1) Those who fought Abacha from the day 1
2) Those who supported Abacha from day 1
3) Those who fought against Abacha from day 1 but later switched side to support Abacha and betrayed Abiola after Abacha politically settled them.

Category 1 comprised of Nigerians from all the ethni. groups
Category 2 also comprised of Nigerians from all the ethnic groups.
Category 3 is unique and distinct: It comprised , disproportionately, of Yorubas - not Igbo or Hausa/Fulani.

Your kinsmen abandoned the struggle and Abiola once Hausa/Fulani offered them political crumbs. They could not even stand with their own kinsmen.

And let me update you, perhaps you have forgotten or suffer from selective amnesia; on the day Abiola declared himself president, he was surrounded by pro-June 12 Igbo elites. Non of your loudmouth kinsmen were present - even though the same Abiola declared that he can rule without Igbos in the run-up to the election.

Yoruba of Nigeria - not Ndigbo or Hausa/Fulani - killed Abiola and truncated the actualization of June 12 Election.

LegendHero:
There are no traitors anywhere. My people fought Abacha until his death and led the NADECO movement that sees to it that we return to democracy and that eventually made a Yoruba the president of Nigeria.

Your people are known to serve the fulanis without compensation. Ojukwu campaigned openly on the podium for Shagari while Daniel Kanu led 2 million march in support of Abacha.

What is your people gain? Nothing!

Really really shameful!

PapaBaby:
After this speech, his people went on to collude with Abacha, the rest as they say is history. Shameful

Do you guys ever have any tangible thing to do?

BlowYourMind:
Everyone was fighting for his own selfish interest, even Azikwe was against the secession of the North before he realized he was a loser and want to use Awolowo as a bait to secede but Awolowo see beyond the antics of Azikwe instead of declaring Oduduwa state after he was released by Gowon, Awolowo joined Gowon's government instead of being a tool in the hand of Azikwe and his selfish interest to ride on SOuth south and her oil

He fought Abacha's tyranny not out of any abiding principle but out self-preservation and political opportunism.

Racoon:
Hypocrite! Same Tinubu that have helped bastardized democratic values, norms and institutions? I can believe this is the same man that fought Abacha tyranny in the 1990s.

Kudos that you want a restructured Nigeria. Aburi Accord offered you a restructured Nigeria on a platter of gold! You rejected it.

Jman24:
I just wish for a restructured Nigeria.. where each region manage their resources and various administrators of each region held accountable. Accountability is very important to a prosperous nation. But unfortunately most Nigerians would rather chase shadows than holding their leaders accountable or attacking a freedom fighter from a particular race in Nigeria while eulogizing other freedom fighters in the world. Blacks are their own problem.

Go back to your hole and worry more about your ethnic nationality. Allow Ndigbo to worry about Kanu negative externality. .

MinorityOpinion:
The main purpose of IPOB’s campaign of misinformation is to confuse many Igbos with contradictory lies that will be repeated here and there until Igbos do not know what the truth is. For years, Igbos have allowed IPOB to spread lies that have poisoned the trust between us and the rest of the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria.

The cutting words of IPOB is worse than a bowstring. While a cut may heal, the cut of the tongue does not. Ultimately, what IPOB has succeeded in doing is stir up hatred between Igbos and the rest of Nigerians. So, I stand bold to state that IPOB is a disease; the lies and venom that they are vomiting through Nnamdi Kanu do not have to make sense to be successful as a disease.

Where is Ambode today?

StaffofOrayan:
In Ambode, I see a man with ambition, first of all his re-election would be the easiest of the governors, and if he continues the next 4 years with the same vigor then I dare say he would be a presidential candidate.

Are you not marginalized?

hilroy:
Sorry, read your history again. Azikiwe sold you off to Nigeria which is the reason why you fools are shouting marginalization and discrimination. Only slaves shout of marginalization the way you cry babies do. Now Cownu has extended your slavery time in the hands of Nigeria
