The Truth Is Very Bitter!!! by talk2hb1(m): 3:45pm On Jun 09, 2018 |
The Truth is very Bitter!!! Did the Yoruba go to war when June 12 1993 Presidential Election won by their illustrious son Chief MKO Abiola was annulled on June 23rd 1993 on a sheet of paper by IBB? Did Yoruba go to war when Abiola’s wife Alhaja Kudirat Abiola was murdered in Lagos in the morning of Jun 4 1996? Did Yoruba go to war when the winner of that historic election was poisoned on July 7 1998? Did Yoruba go to war when those who killed Abiola imposed Obasanjo on them as President in 1999? Did Yoruba accept Chief Ernest Shonekan when IBB made him to head the interim government in 1993? Yoruba rejected OBJ and Shonekan because this unique race has never been slaves to public office and yet they have remained number one in Nigeria in almost everything. This is wisdom and strategic thinking at work. Those of us who have lived in Yoruba land for years should not only learn how to wear Aso Ebi, eat Ewedu soup or dance Owambe, music. We must have also learned other unique things from them like sharing property to both male and female children, religious tolerance, ethnic tolerance, transferring legacies from generation to generation. Do you know that APC National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s wife is a Christian? Do you know that former Governor Fashola’s wife is a Christian? We can learn a lot from Yoruba. Yoruba too can learn from Igbo in areas of thinking home, business enterprise, self-help, apprenticeship, etc. A Yoruba woman, a Pastor Mrs. Eunice Olawale Elisha of the Redeemed Christian Church of God old NEPA Road Phase 4 Kubwa, Abuja was killed by unknown persons on Saturday morning of July 9, 2016, while preaching the gospel around 5.30am. I have followed the reactions on the internety and Yoruba do not behave like the Igbo. They have been speaking but not preaching hate. They have called for the culprits to be fished out, prosecuted and punished. If Mrs. Eunice Elisha had been an Igbo hell would have been let loose. There would have been abuses and abuses. But Yoruba are not Igbo. This is civilization. This is strategic thinking. I hope our people can learn from this. Civility is not a sign of weakness. He who fights and run away lives to fight another day. When GEJ marginalized Yoruba in his cabinet for five years despite been the most vocal in an effort to make him president, Yorubas didn't threaten anybody, they didn't abuse anybody, they simply fought in a peaceful & civilized way to effect a change in 2015 using their PVC. Today the most active VP since the independence & most likely, the next president of Nigeria is Yoruba. Fashola heads 3 ministries & referred to as prime minister in some parlance, Kemi Adeosun heads finance, Fayemi heads mines etc. That's how to fight for relevance in multi faceted country like Nigeria & not taking up arm against everybody. To have ears is not to listen, to listen is not to hear, to hear is not to understand, to understand is not to put to practice. I know that writing this may not get me many friends among the Igbo, but it always gets me the right ones.

limeta:You still don't understand the context of the write-up, you can always achieve what you want without resorting to violent. Your aim is to win, not to fight. come to think of it, the Igbos could have achieve their Biafra, without shedding a single blood. Life was lost, family was destroyed and yet nothing to show for it. so it has become a reoccurring phenomenon for the Igbos to want to achieve their aim through violence, all they need do is draw a strategy (Remember All Wars are won through Strategy), such that we don't have option than to let them go. Hate is Not the First Enemy of Love, Fear is. It Destroys Your Ability To Trust. 7 Likes 1 Share |

When you have a typical dullhead like Abaribe who sponsor Kanu/Ipob as you arrow head at the parliament isn’t that a recipe for another Biafra all over again. Throwing tantrums with agidi Igbo is that what will stop Buhari’s re-election ? If the day Buhari overthrew a democratically elected Shagari is democracy destruction day what will the moronic Igbotic Abaribe call the day a group of God forsaken no good, never do well lunatic, deranged Igbos orchestrated the first coup that ousted a democratically elected government in Nigeria ? Democracy Armageddon day or what ? That is how foolish some Igbos are. They believe only them have large mouth to throw tantrums. Very sick set of humans. 2 Likes |

talk2hb1: These are my submissions to your rants, which, in summary is a 1st class hate speech because all you did was to put down an entire tribe while chest-beating about your own tribe. As highlighted and numbered: 1. Pls remind us again about why people fight wars. That your tribe choses to be a perpetual underdog just to survive doesn't mean it's an ideal way to live. And pls read your history, dear lecturer. Biafran war came after the 1966 pogrom, when all parts of Nigeria decided to decimate only one tribe -Igbos. It's was fight for survival, to prevent total anhiliation and believe it or not, some respect is accorded for those 30months. And guess what? I completely understand the emotions of that time because mere less that 50 years, the Igbos appear to have rebound, rebuilt their destroyed cities and hinterlands, regained almost all they lost and are occupying commanding heights in aviation, oil&gas, land transportation, education, commerce, entertainment (Nollywood originators bro) and new media (think Linda Ikeji). Now think if the war was not and where the Igbos would have been relative to you, Yoruba and other tribes. Especially, you Yourubas knowing the the white man brought education first through the Lagos shores. My point is, in the 60s, the Igbos were moving faster that every other tribe and their successes bred envy and jealousy especially amongst the Yoruba who had been completely overshadowed in public service. Igbos dominated all thriving service establishments like Nigeria Railway, Coal Corporation, NEPA and P&T to absolute chagrin of the Yoruba, especially. And these were driven by competence not favouritism and nepotism you have today. So when the Igbos we ready to pull away from the failed colonial contraption, the Yourubas snitched, simply because they were afraid to fall behind. Rather they sided the Hausa/Fulani to execute the polfrom and concomitant policies of abandoned property, nationalisation, blockage, etc. To the Yoruba of then, complete anhiliation of Igbos was a duty that must be performed by all. Read your history without bias, My Unilag lecturer. 2.Youruba may have rejected Obasanjo in his first tenure but not in his 2nd tenure. Go look at the vote figures as evidenced by PDP, his part sweeping South West only for Tinubu and ACN to recover many of the States through well-documented evil alliance with Salami the apeal court chief justice. Stop the hypocrisy Pls! 3. What do you call this? By the way, who follow you eat ewedu soup and dance owambe? See how you show your sophistication? 4.just get your facts right. Many Igbos are happily married to Youruba including Dr. Okey Enelama, Minister of Trade&Investment, while uncountable Igbo families support their daughters to date and marry in Youruba land (Chioma/Davido, PreciousChikwendu/FFK. I don't know what your point is. In Enugu and Abakiliki, family members have pastors and Imams cohabiting happily, happening now. Stop displaying your lack of world view, pls. 5. Be it know to you that many Igbos have been murdered in the North and nobody went to war. Gideon Akaluka was killed, beheaded and his head put on a stake and shown around the city of Kano for an offense he was not around when committed. See, Sir, you can't be a lecturer if you lack basic research skill. Is the the sticker 'sophisticated moròns becoming an altruism? 6. Who marginalized Yoruba for 5years? Tell us who appointed Dr. Adesina into the Agric portfolio and tell me what he has become after that. Now you mentioned Fashola and Adeosun. Can you honestly say tha Fashola has carried his weight in any, I repeat, any of the three assigned portfolio? Adeosun? I leave you to judge, but we've had Finance Ministers in the past. If the nest of Youruba is like Minister Shittu in Communications that should better be a babalawo or Tunde Omotoba that was disgraced out of Ministry of aviation, then the issue is not marginalization but obvious lack of competence to match the sophistry of the cabinet at the time. Jonathan's cabinet was highly rated. You may have ignored that due you bigotry, but that's the fact and that's the secrete of his success since we all know that personally, he wasn't very strong. VP Osibanjo is good. But dont get too intoxicated. He is made a superstar by contrast to confirmed dùllard, Buhari. Very much like a dull white when place against black background begins to shine bright. I like him though. 13 Likes 1 Share |

It should also be noted that Yorubas owe no one any explanation or apology for any choice we make. Many Yorubas voted for Jonathan in 2011, and many still did same in 2015, but not just as much as the previous election. This is not a betrayal, it's called democracy. Voting massively for Buhari in 2015 may have proven to be a democratic mistake, I'm certain the Yorubas will send Buhari a message through their votes in the next general elections. Igbos should learn to respect our choices. 4 Likes 1 Share |

What I see on this forum is rather people freely and openly canvassing their views including that Yoruba alliance with the Calliphate creates a master-slave relationship instead of equal alliance.
