Joe Igbokwe

The Yoruba Nation I know has been in the Opposition even since the inception of Nigeria and yet they are not the worst in Nigeria. After the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential elections won by Moshood Abiola, the powers that be tried to console the Yoruba by appointing Ernest Shonekan the head of the interim Government. Did Yoruba accept Shonekan? No, they did not. They did not come out on the streets with Gbedu Drums to celebrate Yoruba and Chief Shonekan.

Yoruba proudly told the powers that be that you can only be the Head of State in Nigeria through two methods: either through an election or through a successful coup d’état. In the case of Shonekan, he did not ascend to power through either of the above processes. He was therefore rejected by the Yoruba. Now, if it were the Igbo, would they have reasoned this way? I doubt it. In the struggle for June 12, Abiola was put in detention, and his wife killed. Several Yoruba people were in detention and some hounded abroad. Abiola was eventually killed. But did the Yoruba go to war or resort to self-determination? No, they did not. They fought back using common sense and the power of ideas.

In 1998 when the presidency was zoned to the South-West because the late MKO Abiola has paid the supreme price, the Yoruba preferred Olu Falae but the powers that be forced Obasanjo on Nigeria. Now did the Yoruba accept Obasanjo because he is a Yoruba man? They did not. This unique race rejected Obasanjo for the eight years he was in office, from 1999 to 2007. To date the Yoruba still believe that Obasanjo wasted their eight years. OBJ was rejected even in his own ward, in his local government, and in the whole of the Western Region. That is the Yoruba nation for you. Can the Igbo do this? I doubt it. After the 2003 elections, the PDP stole all the states in the South-West, leaving only Lagos because they were afraid of the trouble Lagosians will give them. The Former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, fought back like a wounded lion with his committed associates to reclaim almost all the States in the South-West. He did not stop there; he spread his intimidating political tentacles across Nigeria, forming alliances across building networks and bridges, and the result is what we saw on Saturday, March 28, and April 11, 2015.

Now, can any leader in the South-East achieve this feat? Where is the character? Where is the courage? Where is the wisdom and understanding? Where is the Common sense? Where is the discipline? Where is the capacity and capability?

You mean like the former director of immigration recruited mainly people fro SE? You mean the Igbonisation agenda of Pius Anyim? You are too greedy to share a country with you need Biafra.

We're too greedy, yet your grand father died fighting to retain Biafra in Nigeria, same fight you've continued.


Was your grand father sick or stupid fighting to keep criminals in the same country with him, when he had a choice of letting them go?

Your pre-occupation with what a bunch of irrelevant entities think about you is the reason your types will always fall for anything (like a PMB presidency) and never stand for anything worthwhile in all their worthless existence.

Only fools think that a region which has been consistent in their agitation for over 50 years does not know what they are doing.

The real charlatans here are the arrogant fools who stupidly think that the definition of sophistication is cowardice and hyoocricy, while dumbly assuming that no other group is sophisticated unless they revel in cowardice and hypocricy as a culture.

Well, the Greater East is here to eternally dissappoint you bigly. cheesy

And you can do absolutely nothing about it besides the usual rants, mockery and rants again.

Keep the mockery and silly rants coming, while Biafra keeps rising irresistibly.

That's your lots in life.

maclatunji:


Again, empty boasts. Sheesh, some of you guys are full of yourselves to the point of odioum even when your lack of sophistication is beating you with a bat.

If there's any major tribe confused at the moment it is the Igbos not because you don't have great men and women but because you have allowed charlatans and the ignorant define you to the world.

We fought your greediness. We fought you when you showed up at Ore and we kicked your ass back. You are greedy. You annexed the minority and forced them to be part of Biafra. You are selfish and extremely greedy and we will frustrate you until you are eventually pushed out of Nigeria.

We in the South West (The Yorubas) have always believed that brains, intelligence and reasoning will always beat brawns and braggadocio, particularly when it comes to politics.

But realistically, we can't expect all tribes (or group of people) to think and act the same way; though using the vehicle of hate, lies and insults is deplorable and inexcusable.

If the South East (The Igbos) want out, let them push for a referendum for their core SE states and have their Biafra.


..Interesting analysis of Yorubas..I would allow you indulge in your delusions about Yoruba 'brain,intelligence and reasoning' when it comes to politics..for now

Going by what is happening now, I must admit, they are not very good at it. They were not doing well with the so-called 'Azikwe Jonathan' in power too.

Doing badly in power (at least, that is what they claimed when GEJ was there).

Doing badly out of power.

People like Joe Igbokwe, Senator Ken Nnamani, Governor Rochas Okorocha and Dr. Oby Ezekwesili should do more for the region.

Having seen that the Biafra he sabotaged is coming like a moving train, he's now soliciting for asylum knowing he's a dead man on stepping an inch foot into the blessed land of Biafra. But why didn't he seek the asylum from his slave masters and he's wooing the Ouduas. I doubt if this man will escape the penalty of nemesis.

[quote author=Paperwhite post=57219511]Joe Igbokwe antecedents shows he is not a true igbo man.Igbos don't ass-lick.[/quo

That is where igbos always get it wrong,building bridges and networking to forge a common front is not asslicking.it's called diplomacy.

That I don't agree with you on a particular issue does not mean we cannot work together on another issue where our common Interest is affected.

Yorubakwe is a disgrace, but his day of reckoning would also come.

For the records sake, Yorubas voted for Olu falae in 1999 because they had the luxury of having two Yoruba candidates as front runners in the 1999 presidential election.

In 2003 when they didn't have that luxury, and that OBJ was up against Buhari, the Mantra all over SW was " he is our son", Yorubas nearly killed AD just to retain OBJ in Aso rock, only Tinubu survived, as OBJ used the overwhelming support he got from Yorubas to nearly wipe off AD from SW.

Yorubakwe clearly have a mental illness, if this tiny bit of history that happened just over a decade ago is lost on his memory.

liar, how did they kill AD when presidential election and Governorship election don't hold same day

PDP won presidential election and lost some states so ur analysis is flawed.

Lol! Who was AD presidential candidate in 2003? Hehe!

AD fielded no presidential candidate in 2003 because Yorubas wanted OBJ to grab the block votes in SW, and it worked because OBJ and PDP won over 85% of the votes casted in SW presidential election.


Your lies had already been busted.

My analysis is spot on. Yorubas never rejected OBJ, they ignored him 1999 because they had the luxury to do that, ie OBJ was up against a Yoruba man( Falae).

In 2003 when they didn't have that luxury, they all voted OBJ, who was PDP candidate in mass, rather than vote Buhari of ANPC who they now tout ad the messiah.

No one is deceived by your tribal selfish politics packaged as suffersticated politics.

you said Yoruba's killed AD because they voted obj and I point out to you that despite yorubas voted enmass to Gej in 2011 PDP lost majority of states in 2011 elections.

what am trying to say in essence is Yoruba's never killed AD but obj used federal might to win states for pdp cos people never voted for PDP at state level ,the election was massively rigged using federal might like what happened in ekiti.

so your analysis re flawed

Election results speaks louder than whatever you want to say.

The Yorubas tribalism influenced desire to re elect OBJ through PDP was what opened the door for OBJ to nearly kill AD.

Either way, the central point of my argument remains that Yorubas never rejected OBJ, they ignored him in 1999 because they had Falae, and embraced him in 2003 because he is their son.

Yorubakwe needs to go get his facts right. Yorubas never rejected OBJ, the 2003 presidential election result where OBJ got 87% of votes casted In SW disagrees with him.

My analysis is spot on!
