Thank you my brother. He is an expired drug. This is the same who served in Gowon's military dictatorship that destroyed Nigeria's federalism. He is confused!

Who Presidency epp

Igbos are not interested in presidency. We need restructuring. Simple and short.

The north and south west that have held the presidency between themselves since independence are shitholes riddled with crime, terrorism, illiteracy and poor quality of life.

Edwin Clark should not use Igbos to be popular now biko. Same Edwin Clark we heard fought against Peter Odili becoming President in 2007 because he was Igbo

Absolutely!

Let me agree with your assertion on Zik. He was politically sophisticated slowpoke for sacrificing his Life and particularly,his Igbokwe nation for "One Nigeria" which never existed and will never be.
Using your logic of reasoning, why did Awolowo repeat the "One Nigeria" political miscalculation of Zik when he aligned with the North in the Nigeria - Biafra War to sustain the same northern-dominated "One Nigeria"?

Why did he not support Ojukwu in restructuring Nigeria through Aburi Accord or allowing Biafra her independence by refusing to join Gowon and the North to fight Biafra?

Why did Awolowo repeat in 1967, a worse variant of the political mistake Zik made in 1953?

quote author=naijadrivablog post=82729885]I blame late Zik of Africa Zungeru. If only he listened to late Awolowo.

He wanted a big country, now we have big tribalism, big religious bigotry, big poverty, big potholes, big unemployment, big crime, big terrorism, big hunger, big northern domination, big marginalisation, big corruption, poor educational standards, poor healthcare big- almost-everything-bad!

Stop displaying your ignorance on social meia. CNN did not support Hilary. MSNBC is the network that sported Hilary

Daviddson:
Sowore never created Buhari and I'm sure Sowore doesn't have any regrets for supporting Buhari to win against Jonathan. That I know Buhari is currently not performing and being charismatic as he should be doesn't mean I now think Jonathan was better.

Why can't these people understand that in politics, media houses are free to subtly show their support for a particular candidate?
CNN supported Hillary while Fox News pitched their tent with Donald during their 2016 elections. Sahara Reporters that chose to turn their backs on Jonathan in 2015 were instrumental to his becoming Acting President in 2010. I'll assume you were not old enough to know how Sahara Reporters were hugely responsible for the protests and pressures that led to the NASS bringing out the so-called doctrine of necessity that elevated Jonathan to acting president for which one of GEJ' s aides was later reported to have gone to New York to give him appreciation cash which he reportedly rejected.

Yoruba is the second stakeholders in APC, Igbo is the second stakeholders in PDP

this is time for Igbo to prove themselves but here you guys are behaving like ojukwu and talking down another region because they're are pushing forward theirs without waiting for president to be handover to them in their bedroom

Good to see u are taking benin and warri too. Thats nice.
Even illorin? Wow this is so good. I support it 100%

Why don't we practice true federalism and see how the regions will fare?

ORIENTATION101:
the answer is they don't pay tax. Don't let them fool you that Lagos tax is coming from their spare part business,or okirika, boutique business e.t.c.
Lagos and Ogun IGR is generated mainly from P.A.Y.E
Lagos state don't collect revenue from port activities cos that is one of the issues most of them get wrong.

Who told you that's the barometer for measuring success? And how many people do this companies you mentioned employed compared to the population of Yorubas? Are you not aware that Ndi-Igbo started afresh from ground zero having lost everything we had in the unjust war

Ritchiee:
Tell them to answer this first.If you are good,let us see what you have done before.

I really respect the Igbos for their positive potentials but I cannot lay my hands on any business they have built that had lasted like the Tribune,Punch,Iwe alaroye,alabukun,Odua group etc of the Yorubas.

It is not about others doing nothing. We are the ethnic group that started from nothing. All our progress was wiped out. We built everything we have nw from ground zero. That alone puts us on a different level!

dukeprince50:
I am, but you make others look like they are doing nothing, to be frank I envy the Igbo's and Yorubas but not like just Igbo's are the solution

"The Yoruba did remain neutral until the Biafra Army invaded Yorubaland. Why do you keep glossing over this fact"

I weep at your logic of reasoning.
What date did Biafra invade Yorubaland invaded by Biafra?
And what date did Nigeria-Biafra War start?
Who fired the first shot and where?
Was Yorubaland a part of Nigeria or an independent country?
Was Awolowo already a part of the northern-led government or was he an ordinary civilian and leader of Yoruba?

The answers are simple and straightforward. Do not start an epistle!

SamNaijaboy:
The Yoruba did remain neutral until the Biafra Army invaded Yorubaland.
Why do you keep glossing over this fact.
Or they should have allowed Ojukwu massacre and rape Yorubaland like he did to the mid-West?
That’s where there is a deep flaw with most Igbo. They
will be quarreling with you if you don’t allow them have their way with you, offering you terms they could never accept. And once you reject it, you become their enemy. Never seen anything like it before
You always assume you are smarter than someone else. As long as the person is of a different tribe. That’s the definition of tribalism

Your comment is a figment of your imagination and the reason is because you make so many assumption. When you make so much assumptions, you end up with so much fictional assertions

Why would Zik's ugly experience with Awolowo in the 1951 regional election be the source of the grouse?

How many Igbos were massacred by Yorubas in that election compared to the numbers massacred in the pre-Biafra pogrom in the north which was the major remote cause of the birth of Biafra?

There is no basis of comparison between the 1951 carpet crossing and the 1966 pogroms in the north.No sensible Igbo man even thinks of it in the light you portrayed it. In fact, the regret of an average Igboman is the carpet crossing experience failed to become a teachable lesson for Zik to open his blind eyes that his "One Nigeria and Nigerian Unity"project is a mirage and doomed affair with catastrophic consequence. If he had imbibed that lesson, he would have fought for separate independence for the 3 regions or if he life depended on one Nigeria, he would have accepted Awo's offer of alliance to become the Prime Minister in the post-independent civilian government

So how did you arrive at your conclusion that "the source of your grouse with the Yorubas was 'cause the Yorubas wouldn't let you manage their affairs in the 1951 regional election due to carpet-crossing

Can you show me empirical evidence where a succession of Igbos made this claim?

Or better still, let you and l conduct an online survey where we'll pose this question to generality of Igbos to prove or invalidate your thesis. I will pay for the online survey. I will give you some inputs but will allow you to word the question the way you deem fit.

Do we have a deal?

T9ksy:
I thought you guys claim the source of your grouse with the yorubas was 'cause the yorubas wouldn't let you manage their affairs in the 1951 regional election due to carpet-crossing? For that reason, ibos labels yorubas, tribalist.

You guys keep rewriting the narratives as you deem fit.

If you deny again the next thing will be the actual gazette and video proof so that you will know all you’ve known since you are young is all a lie

Why don't release the actual gazette and video proof to nail your argument? Must you wait till he denies it.

LegendHero:
Yes send his pics with Awolowo in that attire to me. I will also upload the link to the gazette of the New York Times of the speech Gowon gave on that day.

Seems the spirit of lying is still evident in some of you, now please deny the gazette. If you deny again the next thing will be the actual gazette and video proof so that you will know all you’ve known since you are young is all a lie. Ojukwu masterminded the lies and made sure it is embedded in all average Igbo men to propagate.

I will lecture you today.
New York Times Published August 1966

You want us to leave now? Shouldn't you be ashamed of yourself that you are saying this in 2019 - 52 years after the birth of Biafra?

We left your Nigeria for you and your fellow northerners. Instead of saying good riddance to Igbo rubbish, you joined them to massacre innocent children, women and old men.

Why didn't you tell northerners, HELL NO, Yorubas are not joining you to fight OkORO; but if you desperately want them back, then you have to fight them alone without Yoruba support?

Should your ethnic group not acknowledge their bad choice in aligning with the north to fight us and profusely apologize?

Area4Area:
But majority of the Yorubas want you to leave now just like the northerners and what are you doing about it?

"Igbos have to spread to other part of the country to find a target market for their goods and services cos south east region is not too productive on terms of revenue generations."

Your thesis on why Igbos disproportionately share the population of immigrants in every part of Nigeria is fascinating. Is this all your intelligence can come up with? Why don't we restructure Nigeria so that each region controls its own resources and economic decision making ability? Or better still accept Kanu's call for referendum to decide whether Igbos want to remain in Nigeria or not After ten years we'll see whether that thesis of yours hold water.

I marvel at the logical reasoning ability of some online commentators.

ORIENTATION101:
cos Igbos re at greater loss if their investment in northern Nigeria is being threatened.
Have u forgotten how Kaduna Declaration 2 years ago put Igbos and their leaders into state of panic and confusion. Igbos have to spread to other part of thecountry to find a target market for their goods and services .cos south east region is not too productive on terms of revenue generations.


If all Traders and businesmen of Igbos in North return to east who will buy their goods and services when majority of their brothers re already traders and businessmen.


Yoruba and other southern Tribes have little or no investment in Northern Nigeria compare to Igbos.

And you believe this is enough for the future of Yoruba Nation or what Yorubas need to liberate themselves from this shithole?

You said it all. The northerners can't believe how lucky they've been all this year to get away with all the shit and dung they pile on southern Nigerians? They must be wondering how Yorubas believe them despite their born-to-rule mentality

Racoon:
Game on! Abba Kyari the defacto president òf Nigeria running things full gear. Core northerners can never be trusted.This is same thing they did with the middle belt to attain politico-military stability in the 1966-67 Nigeria and thereafter the marriage crashed.The middle belt today is a theatre of endless bloodletting.

Guess Fashola/Osinbajo that said vote for APC so that the SW can get the elusive 2023 presidency can see the foolishness of their thinking? Guess the eyes of the zombies are getting more clearer now? Best way for a fair Nigeria is true federalism by choice or force.

Why are you injecting Igbos into the miss? It is Yorubas who have sacrificed their core principle and long-term survival for political crumbs from the Hausa/Fulani table.

Chisaedhor:


Let the Yorubas and Igbos be deceiving their selves


Believe the North at your own peril

"The animosity between the Igbos and Yorubas is borne out of the fact that the Yorubas thought if they don’t align with the north the Igbo will. Same thing the Igbo thought if they don’t align will the north, the Yorubas will. It’s just a political game by the leaders and we are just pawn in the game."

Your comments on this issue is level-headed and issue-oriented. But l totally disagree with you on the assertion above. The foundation of animosity between the Igbos and Yorubas is the deceitful role Awolowo willingly and purposely chose to play in the Nigeria - Biafra Civil War that should have been an opportunity for the south to permanently deal with the Hausa/Fulani nuisance created by the British Colonialist.

LegendHero:
I’ve always wondered also why 95% of Nigerians making wave in diaspora are either Yorubas or Igbos. We are both intelligent tribes with thirst for success and with some sort of intellectual abilities embedded in our DNA.

The game the North is playing is the actual game Britain played against Africa. Mix the intellectuals and the less-educated together and give the latter the political power through democracy. Since it’s a game of numbers, the norther will continue to have a say in any political establishment in this democracy.

Look at the votes from Kaduna, Kano, and Katsina for example, can you see that the south is at the mercy of the North? Meaning the fulanis will continue to select people for presidency in as much as this nation stands.

I’m trying to give a realist solution to all this menace. To pull out of the country, the Igbos can’t do it alone, even if they must you must learn to bring the Yorubas in your fold.

You should understand we Yorubas, we’ve not gone through what the average Igbo went through in the war during the 60s, so it’s very hard to rally people around for a common cause. The best tool to gather people is to give them something to fight for, people only react when you can appeal to their emotions.

Nigeria will eventually break, maybe in our generation maybe not, but I’m 100% sure that Nigeria will eventually break one day. But I’m still trying to figure out how that can be achievable optimally.

Nigeria situation now is a war between the rich and the poor, coz there is a conspiracy among the leaders both Yoruba and Igbos to keep their subject in this union.

The animosity between the Igbos and Yorubas is borne out of the fact that the Yorubas thought if they don’t align with the north the Igbo will. Same thing the Igbo thought if they don’t align will the north, the Yorubas will. It’s just a political game by the leaders and we are just pawn in the game.

It’s evident in the political game of Nigeria right from time which saw the brainy vice playing second fiddle to not too literate president or aspirants from the north.

How did Igbos expected Awolowo to send his Yoruba people onto golgotha? Please educate me

Emphatically NO .........but the ibos expected him(Awo) to send his yoruba people onto "golgotha" for their cause.

How about those who have looted billions in public money and already riding their dream cars?

[quote auth or=babecode post=82264006]Two Nigerian men have lost their lives after the drugs they swallowed burst during a flight from Brazil to Ethiopia. The deceased, identified as Chigozie Pascal Aniagbado and Chijioke Chidioka Ogbuefi, died before an emergency landing, despite the fact that CPR was performed on them.

According to the eyewitness; At this moment am in Ethiopian Airline from Brazil to Ethiopia my sit number is 30D which falls at the middle in between two men, they are all black skin like me, The flight was 12hrs journey, the young man at my right asked me to check the flight ✈ map to know how far we have gone which I did we already half the journey.

Then he said to me do you speak Igbo I said yes, he said he doesn’t know if he will make this journey that it seems the drugs he swallowed must have expired its stay in his system ,then my mind sink right inside my stomach, I began to shiver, he said don’t be scared it’s not in the bag is inside my body, he said I should stand and get him drinking water, I refuse standing cos I was scared he may insert something in my bag, I have to wave for the air hostess to come, she came and serve him water, he demands for food, he was given.

He became calm, a few minutes later he brought an olive oil from his bag and drink, This moment I was confused I don’t know what to do, then he started shivering /panicked & fell down that was when all the doctors in the plane assembled, questioning, asking his country & tribe ,his blood was tested for sugar samples & high blood pressure. He was able to open that he swallowed drugs �‍♀.

As I speak his vomiting blood, my God I don’t know what will lead a young strong man to this, as I type now his gasping out the doctors has to put him on oxygen, his progress is slow, Because of them we are having emergency landing, the pilots said no matter their crime, it’s their priority to keep them alive �‍♀

We couldn’t land the said country has Ebola, so we proceed while they are on oxygen. While typing, I was told they had lost the battle. May their soul rest in piece

"Most ignorant people always think prosperity is measured by selling from 2by2 shops or by assembling China auto parts and rebranding it as locally produced.

What is the thrust of your posting?

Iblad0994:
Thanks bro. You did a wonderful job on this thread same with the other contributors.

I was just on my bed going through all this and I’m amazed with the reach and sagacity of the Yorubas. I know Edo/Benin also share some sort of similarities with us looking at the fact that we are all offspring of Oduduwa/Oranmiyan.

One important strength of the Yorubas is that they own businesses and corporations that cuts across all sectors, and we are well versed in the IT and service sector in general.

I live in the USA, IT and service sector generates a lot for the USA such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, AT&T, IBM, Walmart, and e.t.c.

If you check the richest people in the world, you will see a lot of these IT and Corporation plays a major role in the USA economy and the world in general. For example, amazon is just an online marketplace where several billions of goods are sold and that made Jeff one of the richest.

The Yoruba guys have invested in lot of these IT and corporations as evident in what you guys contributed from the first page up to this page. Most ignorant people always think prosperity is measured by selling from 2by2 shops or by assembling China auto parts and rebranding it as locally produced.

I’ll also contribute my quota on this thread later coz by far this is the most knowledgeable thread I’ve read on Nairaland. It’s not only about winning alone but it’s about gaining knowledge about business spread and how entrepreneurs are shaping Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

God bless everyone!

Exactly photo sessions!

I totally agree with you!

Dpharisee:
The most unfortunate part is that Yorubas will rather attack Biafra agitators seeking to leave Nigeria than confront the Fulanis that have turned them into third class citizens in their land of Ilorin.
They jubilated on the python dance operation and killing of Igbos resisting Fulani domination of Nigeria led by Buhari.
Let them fight their fight, next thing you will see is the harrassment by our authorities of this man for telling Afonja descendants and Yorubas to wake up.
This crisis will soon snowball into a major issue, watch out!
I like the part were the Alaafin has lifted the curse of slavery to Fulanis placed on the Afonja descendants by previous Alaafin.

Why are you Ndi-Igbo obsessed and Yoruba-issue blind?

Iblad0994:
Lol, seems you guys have been predicting and supporting other people since 1960 and yet you’ve never ruled except Ironsi that ruled for few months. Don’t mention Azikwe, he’s just a ceremonial head and a slave to the Northerner then.

Yes, your treachery showed first during Shagari era, when you guys voted against a brainy Awolowo to be slave under the Fulani. The Yoruba never cried marginalization, we just swallow the defeat and moved on without name calling like betrayal.

You lied about 1993, the Yorubas won through the ballot, you guys vote were for Tofa and Abiola defeated both you and Tofa.

1999 is just a game, Yoruba still won indirectly coz no matter how one’s child can be stubborn, we can’t feed him to the lions (A case of Obasanjo).

You lied again in the case of Yar’adua, the Yorubas voted him also if you know history and infact the election is marred by such high level of rigging that INEC never published the results officially. Yar’adua later confessed he was rigged into government.

You lied again about Jonathan first term in 2011, the Yorubas voted overwhelmingly for Jonathan except Osun state. Jonathan won 5 of the six SW states in 2011.

In 2015 and 2019, we all know what transpired and God willing 2023 will reveal itself soon.

In as much as I love the fact that you try to show the timeline of the SE achievement in politics, you missed the actual fact that No man of SE origin have ever been voted through the ballot in a presidential election.

In 2023, try to present Obi and let’s see how it goes. I wish you guys the best and hope Nigeria get it right by then.
