That is why I said Nigeria is a cut-and-join country. The same way Fulanis have been added as Nigerians is the same way Igbo was falsely and forcefully added to Nigeria.
It's the same way in many countries.. The Caucasians aren't natives of America. But they didn't use it as an excuse to be foolish. Look where America is today

America did not treat those people the way Northern and Yoruba elders have been treating Igbo people. Have you not watched that Ahmadu B video against Igbo? Did any part of America make such statement against another part of America? See the link here.

So, you are not as wise as you claim.

Ahmadu Bello was putting his people first. And what he said didn't affect the whole of Nigeria only the Northern region. He said if there's a big Northern post in the North, he'll pick a Northerner first for that post. And if there's no Northerner qualified for that post then he'll pick an expatriate or another Nigerian on contract. I see no wrong in what he said, except when he said he'll pick an expatriate before a fellow Nigerian. But him picking his fellow Northerner first for a post in the Northern Region is not wrong.

He then even asked, how many Northerners are employed in the East or west and he gave the answer as none.. He was the leader of the North and he's not wrong for wanting his people to be in the top position in his region.

He was even a visionary leader. He forsaw how other regions dominating his region can bring bloodshed..

This was the same mistake that Nnamdi Azikiwe made by trying to be the Premier of the Western region..

You will always deny the truth even when it is in your face. Was he interviewed about the North or about Nigeria? Did Zik make such a statement against another tribe? Will a man that seeks equality make that statement?

Why waste your energy on an ignoramus called Reno Omokri?
Buhari is a majority and he failed woefully 3X before Yorubas helped him.
Reno is indirectly hoping that GEJ or Atiku wins so that he can return from political exile.
And to continue chopping national cake while typing nonsense on twitter.

What are you saying? Wasn't the interview because of his North first policy in the Northern region or you didn't even watch the video..

How would you have taken it if Ahmadu Bello said "Fulani domination of Nigeria is only a matter of time"

Or Tafewa Balewa saying, "It would appear that the God of Africa has created the Fulani to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of ages.

I for a fact know they'll pay dearly for that claim soon. The will definitely pass their boundary to the extent the entire tribe will need to respond n it will be costly.

Now what I do not know is what tribe it will cos more maybe the owner of the land or the grabbers. Tutsi n Hutsi will be child's play.

Very true, we allow them too much space and they think it is weakness. I hate hearing that second voting power in Yoruba land.

Your population is useless when you are a 4th class citizen. You're worse than a minority as soon as a minority tribe like Ijaw pulled you down the pecking order.
You're a minority when you can't influence anything in the Nigerian state.
You are a minority when you talk and other big tribes stare down at you.

Where in the history of Nigeria as the Igbo tribe seek equality. You IG os are excessively foolish to say the least. Azikwe nominating a cursed Igbo as VC or UI n Unilag is that equality ? When will your Igbo father write wail like the lunatics they are when they wail about other situation that do not favour them in Nigeria.

LegendHero:


Bro let you tell you something you don’t know or noticed today. The Yorubas themselves are the one splitting the votes and not the Ibos. What happens in Lagos happens virtually in all SW states.

In Oyo you will see PDP and APC sharing votes like 55/45% even in a presidential election. If Ibos are much in Oyo to influence the votes, they would have been saying they are the one doing the votes for PDP.

What about Ogun & Ondo, you always have votes close between the two parties too at both governorship and presidential. If Ibos had much numbers in those states we would have think they are the one doing the vote.

If they truly have such number in Lagos like they always claim, they should have been deciding who rule Lagos since 1999 but yet they cannot because it’s all baseless. They are just the loudest noisemaker in the room, don’t take them too serious bro.
Yoruba are not as clannish and sentimentally manipulated as ibos.
Yoruba have always imbibed a democratic culture, dating back in history. NCNC and AG were two major parties in SW with fierce competition whereas NCNC was the only dominant party in the east whereby there was a bandwagon of thoughts and participation.
Ibos tend to dominate a particular group or space however detrimental it is to their future benefits.

And that was why the Nzeogwu led soldiers dealt with him mercilessly.



Look at Buhari that tried to joke with Igbos, is he not a living corpse?


Any Nigerian that have sense should just avoid confrontation with Igbos cos those that did didn't survive it and those that survived it are living a dead life.



Examples are Ahmadu Bello, Muritala Mohammed, Muhammadu Buhari...Adaka Boro, Awolowo and Tinubu is warming up to join the queue if he doesn't retrace his steps....

Answer my questions first because They came before your own questions. Below are the questions again.

Was he interviewed about the North or about Nigeria?

Did Zik make such a statement against another tribe? Or, has any other Igbo who supports one Nigeria said such against another tribe in Nigeria?

Will a man that seeks equality make that statement?

Remo Omokri said that in any nation, only the majority demand power while the minorities negotiate.



Reno Omokri is somehow correct, and that's why Nigeria need zoning to accommodate all geopolitical zones that make up Nigeria and ensure fairness, equity and true unity.



Meanwhile, those who think Igbos are minority tribe in Nigeria must be kids without knowledge. Please go back and check a verifiable and respected global organization's population statistics of Nigeria to update yourself.


In Nigeria, the most populated tribes are:


Hausa
Igbo
Yoruba
Fulani


Ijaw
Tiv
etc


Unfortunately most ignorant Nigerians, especially Yorubas took Buhari's infamous 5% statement in the US when he assumed office as President to mean Igbos are 5% of Nigeria's population, how ignorant and foolish can such a person be? Even without being told, any reasonable human will know that Igbos are the second largest tribe in Nigeria who are also found in every nook and cranny of Nigeria in large numbers competing with the indigenous population of their host community.


But unfortunately, they took Buhari's 5% statement out of context either as a result of ignorance, poor comprehension, tribal hatred, political gimmicks or all of the above.



For those that didnt understand Buhari's infamous 5% statement, Buhari was only saying that out of the total 100% percentage votes he used to win in 2015, that Southeast and Southsouth gave him just 5% and that because of that, he will not treat them the same way he would treat those regions that gave him 95% votes. But as usual, the miscreants decided to misinterpret their dullard President.


Another thing that makes me laugh is when INEC releases voters register by zones and Southeast scores least and Yorubas will be rejoicing that Igbos have no voting power, I just laugh at them.


30 percent or even more of voters in Lagos are Igbos, that's why Tinubu always make sure he uses thugs to stop Igbos from voting in Lagos cos he knows Igbo voter population in Lagos can cost APC a win.


For instance, I am Igbo but I didn't register to vote in my state, I registered in Lagos. All my siblings that are in the country registered to vote outside our home state.


After Yorubas, Igbos are the second highest voters in Lagos, Oyo, Ogun and Ondo.


After Hausa-Fulanis and Kanuris Igbos are the second highest voters in Kaduna and Kano.


After Ijaws, Ikwerres, Kalabaris, Igbos are the next highest voters in Rivers State.


Same applies to Abuja, Cross River, Delta, Jos, etc.


You think Hausa-Fulani politicians are foolish that since Nigeria had independence they always preferred to align with Igbos which made Awolowo lost and weep always?

The first time Hausa-Fulanis aligned with Yorubas politically was in 2015, go and check history.


Buhari had always aligned with Igbos who always rejected voting for him despite picking Igbo VP not until 2015 that he decided to align with Yorubas for the first time out of frustration and yet Yorubas wont let the world hear word.



Please go back and check the global population statistics of Nigerian tribes and know who are the most populated and the minorities before you go misinforming yourself.



Igbo voters are cut across all states of Nigeria unlike most other tribes and everybody know this.



The only reason Igbos seem to have become face of opposition is the 2015 election that Goodluck lost and Igbos continued to stand by him unlike other tribes that would have abandoned him and followed the winning side, which made Hausa-Fulanis to become suspicious of Igbos again unlike before.

Yoruba is the most populated if you separate Hausa and Fulani, if you merge Hausa and Fulani they becomes the no 1 follow by Yoruba even Ijaws is more populated than Igbos, igbos are just loud mouthed.

franchasofficia:
There are multiple ethnic groups in Nigeria. The Hausa-Fulani ethnicity outnumbers every other ethnic group, accounting for about 30% of the population. A majority of the Hausa-Fulani are of the Muslim faith.

The second-largest ethnic group is the Yoruba, accounting for 15.5% of the population, followed by the Igbo (Ibo), comprising about 15.2% of the population.


https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/nigeria-population


This is world's population record source.


Igbo population above excluded Igbo speaking communities in Southsouth and Middlebelt (Benue etc).



So before you go about referring Igbos as a minority tribe, try and update yourself.



Also remember Igbos lost over 3million people in Nigeria-Biafra war and still boast of this population, what does that tell you ignorant people calling Igbos minority?

You just have to trash our mumu button press-er that easily.

Na wa o
You no do well at all.

Lmao grin
