Late Suadauna Bello of Sokoto in an interview once said in quotes "There were less than 23 indigenous Northerners in the Northern Regional service by the time i first became the leader of Government business in Northern Nigeria, the igbos had dominated the public services up until that time, I quickly drafted and pass into law "Northernization policy" where I appointed only British, Indians, Pakistians and Eyptians on contracts basis as public servant while tunning down the applications of Nigerians from the south because I felt the igbos were bent on marginalizing the Northerners which am not going to allow"

Igbo started the slavery they accused the Yoruba of

Awolowo and his Action Group(AG) were ready in 1959 to form a coalition government with NCNC mostly dominated by the Igbos and controled by Azikiwe. The coalition will have made them to push the NPC(dominated by the North) into opposition before independence but the Igbo dominated NCNC under Azikiwe did not want any meaniful collaboration with the Yoruba-dominated Action group led by Awolowo but instead prefer to form a coalition with the NPC dominated by the North, but Awolowo Action group did not want any collaboration with the North because the Northern at that time was always going back into a coalition with the igbo dominated party.
The only Nigeria politicians who made a serious attempt to change the status quo was Ladoke Akintola who try to change the status quo of Nigeria politics by rejecting any attempt by Awolowo to form a coalition with NPC likewise. He formed is own party named Democratic party in the western region which later form a coalition with NCNC creating a counter-force to the Igbos NPC/NCNC. The igbo did not appreciate what Akintola did because they knew their game was over. They could no longer dominate most of the federal jobs. The Igbos did not forgive Akintola till date but many forgot he did what was right at that time. The Igbo preferred a Government headed by Tafawa Balewa to the one proposed by Awolowo because Azikiwe wanted to become the prime minister and Awolowo the finance minister. And that was the turning point till date.

The Yoruba gave the Igbo's Sugar cane but in return, they gave back Bitter Leaf

Most Igbo will tell you that they love the yoruba's but they hate Awolowo, Benjamin Adekunle, Olusegun Obasanjo, Ladoke Akintola or Fani-Kayode(Not Femi please) but the fact is, you cannot claim to love the yoruba's and hate our best leaders. The yoruba loves the Igbo more than they claim to love us

How?

1. Kenneth Olawale, an Igbo man was born in Akure and elected as speaker in Ondo state house of assembly. Who voted for him, the Yoruba's! Can it happen in the East?

2. Ogbuefi Nnendi Azikiwe almost wanted to become the first premier of old western Nigeria region in 1954 supported by a powerful yorubaman Adelabu Penkelemesi, he was voted by the yoruba's but lost out

3. When Awolowo launched free and compulsory education and medical treatment in the west, many igbos parent and their children emigrated to the west in large numbers to take advantages. Yoruba accepted them without resenting them back to the east where Azikiwe couldn't offer such program. Okonjo-Iweala, Ibe-Opadike, Alex Omeke etc are the beneficiaries of free education in the west.

4. Non of the properties left behind in Yorubaland by the Igbo's during the Biafran war were confiscated or taken away by the Yoruba's, like the Rivers people and Ikwere people did to the abandoned properties of the igbo's in portharcourt

5. Odumegwu Ojukwu came back from exile from ivory coast to recover all his father's properties in Lagos, well kept by the Yoruba's

6. Prominent Yoruba citizens like Late Tai Solarin and Wole Soyinka all stood up for the Igbo's right to live in peace

7. At a time no Nigerian of consequence from the North was willing to travel to the east to persuade Ojukwu not to secede, the same Awolowo that the Igbo's hate was the only Nigerians who risked his life to travel down to enugu.

8. Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi of Ado-ekiti land laid down his life to save the life of Aguiyi Ironsi at Agoji Ibadan because he viewed it as betrayer

9. When Igbo's came back with Nothing after the civil war, yoruba embraced them, gave them money, their land and resources in other for them to bounce back. My dad once told me how they hide some igbo's in a cave during the period of the civil war and they fed them for the period of the war?

Igbo should prove what they have done for the Yoruba's? Am not a tribal bigot but I deem it fit to enlightened some Igbo's that fail no know the truth. Yoruba's don't think like the igbo's if Nigeria is ever going to break up, it needs not to be by force or by war but by consensus. The yorubas are the consulate diplomate in Nigeria. Igbo have never acknowledge that yoruba have been kind to them at any point in history.

Igbo have done yoruba harm than good

guy all this stuff no matter

The feeling and every action between yoruba nation and Igbo nation is MUTUAL...


Asking Igbo to apologize can never be acceptable even in the generations to come, so forget it. Rather the reverse should be case...

I grew up in south east Nigeria as a Yoruba boy. No one every bugged me, maybe cos it was Enugu which was relatively calm. But i cant tell you you are wasting your time. Igbos are bent on self destruction. I have always held that there are others ways for self determination, but it requires strong and recognized leadership, none of which Igbos have. Every Igbo man feels he is king of his yard, this is detrimental to the collective interest of Igbos as they cannot have marshal out a common plan and execute it. The igbos could easily rule Nigeria, their spread could easily make them the preferred neighbor everybody loved, but the truth is they are not good neighbors, it is for them the adage that talks about the handshake that went beyond the elbow was made, they have no respect for the laws and cultures of any host community they move to. If the igbos have any cultural siblings in the world, it would not be Jews but hard core islamist Arabs and there attitude of refusing to assimilate and their known loathing of their host communities and yes Igbos, you loathe your hosts!!!
I wish they could be granted their Biafra just to see the chaos of it all. But its not in my power. The Igbos are a self fulfilling prophecy, their complaints on marginalization leads to a disengagement from society which leads to suspicion from their hosts which leads to negative treatment from their hosts leading to more complaints of marginalization etc...
If only the Igbos will queue behind a great leader who has a vision for them! Inside Nigeria!

Did not mention king/eze in the leadership sense, i meant it in the sense that igbos refuse to follow anyone, not even their father.
Mandela was no one's king. I meant a Leader in that mold. For Igbos to recognize a visionary, unite behind him, take their place on the national stage. And be mindful that Biafra cannot go peacefully, why not explore more peaceful means? Isn't its just good logic?

Did you notice that the "lack-of-peaceful-separation" does not come from within Biafra?
Biafra wants to separate, then an entire group of oyibo plus other Nigerians begin to plot war.
This group of oyibo and other Nigerians are the ones you should preach to about PEACE.

Whoever that concocted this lies should be shot at close range! Can you low lives stop rewriting history?
When the two faced met sarduna of sokoto promised him prime minister sent delegates to East promised azikwe the same position! Who does that?
Sarduna had to call azikwe to inform him about the offer, both were disappointed with the two faace awolowo! Who came with cunny and deceitful manner, both saw the untrustworthy and decided to boycott awolowo and form alliance together, and you are here writing rubbish. Yoruba gave igbo people money? God punish this guy in ten folds! You people will never stop! Continue, some yoruba hate igbos more than they hate devil for no just reason! They will tell you we are disrespectful bla bla because we don't not greet like lizard and hypocritical dobale we are freeborn and owe no single human being anything...

FYI, igbo have been under prosecution since slave trade, check the "jealousy of red eboe" you will understand that its not today e don te!

What this ugly trend has caused are evil. Many igbo people are being discriminated against by their neighbour, some of them are deigbonising themselves to be accepted! Most of them especially in the south south, changed their names, loathe anything igbo.
I thank God most of them are getting back on track now! They are telling them in their face that *anyi bu ndigbo " we are ndigbo there is nothing you can do about that. And I urge othe igbo people to do the same! They are afraid of your igbob but remain focus, we will come to and steadfast fight for your position wherever you find yourself! Igbo is a big family our generation will cure the ills of our past! And never again will these useless fellas divide us! Never again shall they subject us to ill and injustice! Udo diri unu.
