Calling Igbo's a race made me so proud that I'd ignore every other thing you posted but just knw nothing last forever you will need Igbo's help one day... do not let the stupid legacies of Awolowo and Azikiwe separate the south

CrtlAltDel:
We all know from day 1 who the real cowards are… Yorubas have always been freedom fighters, we have Yorubas (Soyinka) who went to jail for thier struggle(Biafra) …..Col Banjo did same….. Ask them to name 1 igbo that has done qtr they will instead resort to insults

NEXT TIME IGBOS CALL YORUBAS COWARDS, BETRAYALS, SHOW THEM THIS POST...

During the June 12, 1993 Presidential election, Abiola won only Anambra State, the other South East States voted for Tofa (a northerner). Cross River, Delta, Edo voted for Abiola. An Igbo person (Arthur Nzeribe) got an overnight black-market judgment to annul Abiola's election; when it was becoming obvious that he would win.

Note that the Igbo man together with a northerner (the judge) and military dictator IBB(another northerner) saw to the annulment of the election. I need not remind you that the Electoral Chairman (Professor Humphrey Nwosu ) at that time was also an Igbo man. In 2008 he published a book in which he claimed that Babangida was not to blame for annulling the election.

During the fights to restore democracy, great Nigerians like Frank Kokori, Alfred Rewane, Ken Saro Wiwa, Kudirat Abiola, Gani Fawehinmi, Abraham Adesanya, Wole Soyinka and other democracy activists fought against Abacha. Some of them were killed, others hounded out of the country, Odumegwu Ojukwu and his colleagues were busy frolicking with Abacha, he even traveled to the US at a time to shore up the image of Abacha (a northerner who was trying to turn himself into a democratic life-president).
That reminds me, another "Kanu" back then organized the "Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha" rally. Onyeka Onwenu sang the praises of Abacha at the rally.

These guys wined and dined with the conservative northern oligarchs back in the day; but now that the arrangement is no longer suitable, they think burning down the country should be the only way out. Me think, that is childish; only infants try to scatter the game when they lose.

Till date, no Yoruba group has come out to call Igbo people "betrayals", "cowards" or "animals" for the action of some Igbo elites. We understand that the elites do not represent an entire ethnic group.

Next time, they call Yoruba people betrayals show them this post; next time they call us cowards, tell them, the only successful offensive ever undertaken by Biafra against Nigerian territory was led by a Yoruba man, Victor Banjo. Remind them also that cowards don't build empires.

They should also be reminded that their enemy is not the man from the other tribe, but their own "elites". They should learn to hold their leaders to account.

The Abiola the @op is talking about, won an election but his slave masters up north said no, and there was nothing they could do about it.

You are right and the funny thing is they are playing the simplest trick in the book divide and conquer

icon007:


'separate the south'... since when have they been together That is the tactics of the 'UNITED NORTH'. U know it and I know it. But then, u know nothing js

GavelSlam:
I'm not against peace but this new found love igbos (or should I say Ipob lovers) have been professing for Yorubas lately is highly suspicious.

What is cooking?

Elections of 2019?

Perhaps a view beyond that period.


What rankles is actually the fact that they are making overtures to the Yorubas whilst ramping up their negative rhetoric of the Northerners.


Something doesn't smell right.

This is the most chilling part in the whole article.

...hey..! yorubas should leave tribalism alone..it is not food..everytime you guyz are hating...don't you people get tired...?

Belafonte:


Yet, Yoruba aren't the ones namecalling other tribes. Giving them such wonderful titles as yorobastard, Yoruba Moslem, afonja, hydraulic soup eaters, etc. Surely, you appreciate the principle of give and take?

..of cuz they didn't create the names..but all am saying is that this feud shld stop...at least among the youths..the elders that fought the war..would all soon die off..let the youths not carry on

It is igbo youth who have refused to use their heads and stop Kanu right in his tracks. Everybody knows Yoruba have no time for beef with anybody and generally laid back and fun-loving. If anything, this Biafra episode has opened the eyes of Yoruba youth to how disdainfully igbos regard us.

We now relate with you lot with extreme caution. Blame yourselves for whatever is left of the yoruba-igbo relationship. Congratulations, you race of superior super humans.

bigpicture001:
..honestly..u are biasd...do the agberos in yoruba land represent the very views of yoruba ppl..? if not,then y then does ipob..which even the igbos dread now become so vital to how you view the igbos..you refused to judge them by the responsible ones.but prefer thier touts view...I am a yoruba..and in ma family..we are taught to hate the igbos...I take it its rising from hate during the war..wen our parents are youths..but a lot if other yorubas have swallows the hate pill and keep hating

Brother, why you dey disturb me nah

There was a thread I saw yesterday on a 9 year old falsely accused by his auntie of defiling his sister.

The boy became a victim of abuse.

All the actors in this episode were igbo.Yet, I noticed that not a single person who contributed turned it into a tribal war.

Honestly, this shows the level of maturity most tribes display but for Ipob.

this is rubbish is this to cause some more tribal E war or what? may sense fall on you!

GavelSlam:


There's nothing like United south.

There's Nigeria, which we are all trying to see work (some more than others), and there are at least 6 other countries if that fails.

There's a certain level of hate and sacrilege many of you have espoused over 2 years that no one in his right mind can trust.

I can't lie, I do not forsee any tribe trusting you guys this generation.

We may begin to tolerate each other but love would take generations to be build depending on performance.

fabre4:



Well the feeling is mutual and relationship is built on trust and if there is no trust then no need to fight for the unity of this country. But on the other hand if the South can look past their differences then they could unite. BTW with the way you say we on would think you speak on behalf of the whole South

This is a false equivalence. You don't see millions of Yoruba people supporting miscreants and riffraff. What we saw, though, was millions of igbo, purportedly educated igbo support Kanu and his band of swine. Is there any yoruba person on nairaland who has shown support for agbero? Yet, we see igbos who supported and still support IPOB.

And yes, I am biased.

In my family, we are/weren't taught to hate any tribe. In fact, there are a lot of intertribal marriages in my extended family.

The truth is igbos do not like yorubas. Period. I cannot make them like us, and I don't have to like them either.

Dis one no go fly, talk another one.
Out of the 18 yrs of civil rule, the yorubas have had 8 yrs as president and presently vice president. Obasanjo is a kingmaker today in Nigeria, are you in doubt? How many years have the hausas ruled within same period? Now, you that is not a slave, how many years have you ruled? Even vice sef, you no see.
Stop dragging people into the fight you single handedly sought after.
Wetin the op dey ask be say, where were these "brave people" during Abacha regime?
