excusemyfrench: Over the decades, it is your kind that supported and still supports the wickedness and evils being perpetrated by this your Yoruba and their co-travellers; solely because you stand to gain in the injustice and inequality in the polity. You will not blink an eye to propagate hate campaigns against Igbos at every slightest opportunity and yet you are the first to cry blue murder when they seek to be on their own. I don't blame you miserable being. I blame this fraudulent contraption under which you have the guts to rant online carelessly and stupiidly. If your tribe is not worthless man up and state it. Let's take it from there... Bunch of greedy, lazy fellows that have kept this entity backwards! |

Mosh1: Who is this pathological liar trying to deceive? Let me educate you a little about the notoriety Yoruba tribe is known for. N.B: The essence of this information is mainly to expose the lies of the notorious history distortionists and wicked propagandists who insult and malign others continually with lies and falsehood, and shout and make much noise on every available media. This a tribe that is after all well known for being loose cannons. Uncouth, uncivilised and disrespectful set of people who made a career out of abuse and slurs. The same treacheerous beings who precipitated the January 1966 coup and the 1967-70 civil war with their bloody 'Operation Wetie ' in the SW. They start trouble and heat up the polity only to run cowardly to hide in their evil Soka forest when the jungle matures. "Operation Wetie" in Yoruba means wet a human being and his/her properties with petrol and set them ablaze. YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA - By Sanusi Lamido In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude. * The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics; * Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and * The Yoruba Factor and "Area-boy" Politics. My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was " Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors" published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled " The Igbo, the Yoruba and History" (Aug. 21, 1998)... Being Excerpts from A Paper Presented At The “National Conference On The 1999 Constitution” Jointly Organised By The Network For Justice And The Vision Trust Foundation, At The Arewa House, Kaduna From 11th –12th September, 1999. http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/ REMI FANI KAYODE, AKINTOLA, AWOLOWO, WESTERN REGION AND THE CRISIS THAT TRUNCATED THE FIRST REPUBLIC These captains of the “tribalism industry” have good incentives to always omit the causes of the January 1966 coup preferring instead to dwell only on the coup itself. The reason is simple; It was in their own Western region then known as the “wild wild west” that election rigging, thuggery, violence, arson, mass murders and other forms of corruption and acts of lawlessness that occasioned the January 1966 coup took place as pioneering acts in Nigeria. Soon after Nigeria got independence the Western region was in turmoil. Premier Ladoke Akintola and Chief Obafemi Awolowo became embroiled in a protracted crisis. By 1962 the crisis led to sustained violence and acts of lawlessness with law makers engaged in vicious physical combats in the Western regional parliament. Amongst serious injuries and other damages, the mace of office was broken. The federal government intervened to curb the lawlessness and violence by imposing a state of emergency and appointing Dr Moses Majekodunmi as interim premier of the Western region on the 29th of June 1962. This became the first imposition of a state of emergency in Nigeria’s history due to heightened levels of lawlessness. Following an alliance between Akintola and Ahmadu Bello, Ladoke Akintola was returned to power on the 31st of December 1962 in spite of protests by Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe who requested fresh elections rather than reinstating Ladoke Akintola. By 1963, the plot between Akintola, Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello was perfected and Chief Obafemi Awolowo was arrested for coup plotting/ treason. His trial commenced in earnest and he was alongside some accomplices convicted for treason and jailed for 10 years. This again was the first alleged coup plotting and conviction in Nigerian history. Intent on totally decimating Chief Awolowo, Ladoke Akintola together with vice premier Remi Fani Kayode went into a political alliance with Prime minister Tafawa Balewa and new political party known as the Nigerian National Alliance (NNA) was formed. By this time Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe had realised the folly of entering a coalition with Tafawa Balewa’s government and teamed up with incarcerated Chief Awolowo’s Action group to form the all progressive grand alliance (UPGA). In 1964, federal elections became due. As usual ethnic chauvinism, intimidation and violence was part of the frenzied campaigning. Remi Kayode and Akintola’s campaign was as usual almost entirely based on tribalism. When the elections were finally held, it was massively rigged in the Western region. Indeed deputy premier Remi Fani Kayode had famously boasted that “there is nothing they can do, whether they vote us or not, we will win.” This statement turned out to be true as massive rigging was orchestrated in the elections. Once again this became the first pioneering act of election rigging by indigenous actors in Nigeria’s history. The announcement of the rigged election results quickly sparked off unprecedented acts of thuggery, violence, arson, mass murders and general acts of lawlessness in the Western region. Daily mass murders and arson became routine in the Western region (wetie). This violence and lawlessness in the Western region was to continue from 1964 until 1966 when the military lost patience and finally struck. The Western region was thus a region in crisis from the onset of post-colonial rule. By the time of the military coup, Chief Obafemi Awolowo himself was incarcerated for treason and the region was practically on an uncontrollable violence and trajectory of self destruction for almost two years from 1964 to 1966. At the same time that the Western region was aflame the Eastern region was calm and democratic. Unlike the Western region there were no cases of election rigging, thuggery or other such acts of lawlessness in the East. In the North there was sporadic violence in the TIV division which was put down by the military. Of all the regions, the western region was torn the most by crisis and acts of lawlessness which eventually occasioned the coup. If the leadership of the Western region had played by the rules and avoided the infighting, the election rigging, the thuggery, the planning of a coup in 1963, the arson, the mass murders and other such corrupt acts and vices many of which were being introduced for the first time in Nigeria and which incidentally continues to haunt the nation to date, there would have been no coup and Nigeria would no doubt have immensely benefited from a functional democracy devoid of election rigging, thuggery and violence as it obtains in many progressive nations around the world. The leadership of the Western region in conspiracy with Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello are singularly responsible for the events and crisis that truncated the first republic and ruined the nation. Those who carried out the coup choose to act out of genuine anger and frustration at the carnage in the Western region. Whatever the demerits of the coup, It is obvious the coupists had nothing to gain other than the patriotic urge to end the corruption and lawlessness that had taken hold of the nation particularly the Western region. Yorubas created the crisis that occasioned the coup and whose region the coup saved from self destruction are some of the biggest ungrateful noisemakers who peddle the propaganda of colouring an anti corruption revolutionary coup with patriotic ideals very similar to that of Flt Lt Jerry Rawlings in a tribal garb. In Ghana, Jerry Rawlings led a coup that eliminated three former heads of state, top military officers and top members of the judiciary. Not one of those killed was from Jerry Rawlings Ewe tribe, but Ghanaians didn’t spew tribalism into the coup and Ghana is better for it. With too many vultures and opportunists...preying on tribalism in Nigeria the story was bound to be different and thus a coup driven out of patriotism and obvious anger at the state of affairs was reconstructed as an Igbo coup and the worms were let out from the woodwork.... |

The sine qua non reason why the Igbos voted so overwhelmingly against the APC in the past general election was that the Party had, prior to the election, made no effort whatsoever to identify with them. The Igbos were treated as irrelevant while the People's Democratic Party warmed up to them. With the way things are going, the APC is all but making those suspicions well founded. Lying and deceiving yourself gets you nowhere in life hence your predicament. ACN lobbied and campaigned for you to join them, but you ridiculed and abused them, you gave them your usual dose of tribalism and bigotry, you call them ewedu and amala party. You as usual are a sad and pathetic victim of your own hatred, meanness, tribal way of life and antisocial behavior.. Democracy is all about making people feel included. Thomas Jefferson, one of the men who penned what became known as the American Constitution, once said that "government exists for the interests of the governed, not for the governors." So does leadership When was the last time you reached out of your region to include other Nigerians in anything? Look in the mirror first and change your ways before questioning other people. All Igbos must come together to build a formidable political bloc devoid of the usual infighting and divided loyalties; a new sociopolitical platform that will not be driven by lust for power or wealth, but by a burning desire to represent the interest and meet the needs and aspirations of the Igbo nation. It should be led by a coalition of seasoned politicians and statesmen, leaders of thought, and intellectuals, as well as brilliant, vibrant, and focused youths. Forming whatever block you are talking about remains redundant and irrelevant if at the end of the day all you have is the same tribal, bigoted and hateful attitude against other Nigerians. You can not win anything in Nigeria without alliance and reaching out beyond your region which is something you people don't know how to do since selfishness, meanness, hatred and bigotry is all you know, all you spew and all you teach generation after generation. You reap what you sow and by nature, you people are self destructive to achieve anything in life... 1 Like |

SurePresident: Out of nepotism and tribalism only what Yorubas could present to Nigerians are bunch of embezzlers, fraudsters, squandermanias and above all the semi-slowpoke, illiterates and deranged morons. Name them - Obafemi barAWO, Grand Commander of Frustrated Robbers - Obj, Ernest ShOLEkan, BankOLE, THIEF-nubu, FashOLE, Bode Rogue; AkingbOLE's billions bank theft etc. These are the people these senseless tribalists hold in high esteem and even use any means to shove it down the throats of other people. Obj, a Yoruba man, reigned in terror for 8 years, looting and raping this country and taking corruption to unimaginable level coupled with high level assassination of perceived opponents. Yet this bunch of selfish, greedy and bitter souls have the audacity to cast aspersions on someone else. Yoruba - a tribe known for taking pleasure and pride in breeding political thugs, touts and social misfits a.k.a agbero. Other Nigerians are wiser! |

helpee: Very Well said but point of correction, the vast majority of igbos are opposed to secession, brafia died in 1970, and if 60,000 innocent igbo were not massacred by northerns in the months leading to the civil war NO igbo would have wanted to fight a war. In addition, buhari got poor votes from the east because of 2 reasons; 1. Buhari still represents a generation of people who viewed igbos as ambitious over achieving charlatans who want to take over nigeria (ahmedu bello made that clear in a BBc interview) and unfortunately, this is a school of thought that most northerners of buharis generation subscribe to. 2. He also did poorly in the east because APC is not a balanced political party, does not represent either credible change or a fresh ideology , is filled with aggrieved PDP members, has allegedly corrupt nigerians and is made up of predominantly islamic elites. However, Buhari as far as we KNEW him was a disciplined, bold, credible maybe slightly baised leader but he was different and that was Needed, but 30years can change a man. 1 Like |

sweetgala: It is really very sad indeed that your type failed to be objective and sincere in your reasoning because the Igbos are involved. Have a look at your 2nd and 3rd paragraphs once again. Under a Yoruba party, ACN, Ngige was elected the 1st time as a Senator after a very keen contest with APGA Akunyili - a woman of substance. During his tenor, Ngige failed to live up to expectations. How can you be so disappointed that Ngige was not worth been reelected by his electorates? What kind of logic is that? Every other logic you to tried buttressing your point is totally bunkum. The politics of you being afar off and hand picking who will govern a people cannot work. |
