So democracy makes u have no leader, is that how USA is? Fufu just full ur brain.

Just as you guys are known for and expected. Read my comments and know where I insulted anybody or any tribe. Oh... No Where!!! you be typical idiotic slowpoke. so SE don't have Governors, Igwes and Obi's eh. What I meant by Leader was who your tribe and Hausa people follow without asking anything or to anywhere you are been taken, even off a cliff without asking Hey, Where are you taking us. Upon the whole truth Nnamdi Kanu was saying, majority of Igbos were against him but your stupid dumb brain won't know that. Your case is otherwise. Whoever Jagaban point, na that person you go vote. Even if the person na He-goat, you go still vote am. Tell me, is that not stupidity of the highest order You lots will just be making mouth up and down without any self value or dignity. Igbos are the only tribe in Nigeria that practices real DEMOCRACY!!! Go and suck a cow as usual if it pains you. Foolish human being.

Stop muddling up issues, Ohaneze recently held a restructuring summit, its not like igbos are teleguided on what to do by one single group. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/269138-amidst-ipob-threat-ohaneze-holds-restructuring-summit.html

And first come to Igbo land and invest before talking of contesting elections in Igbo, politics is local people will vote who they know, Igbos who contest elections in Lagos didn't fall from heaven, they invested their time and money and earn their right to be voted for.

regionalism is very important and awolowo planned to support even the minorities to have their own regions.all the police killing yahoo boys are all from hausa and igbo land.In a regional system they will stationed were they understand and speak the language and you can kill your people if you like.dont tone anything down because of my gender.never do that

LOL I shouldn't tone it down, right? Well u picked on the wrong guy then.. Listen up babe, like u rightly pointed out, regionalism or outright dissolution is the key to everlasting peace between all of us. Of a truth tribalism is just a cancer but whose fault as it stands? The igbo man blames the Yoruba man, same way the Yoruba blames the igbo man. the hausa man blames the igbos and yorubas too. It goes on and on and on. So, the circle is nothing short of MERRY GOES ROUND

Ain't abia and imo oil producing nations, cities like nnewi, osha and aba don't they contribute to the nations trading and manufacturing sector, I believe every region in Nigeria can be on itself, so let's restructure
Your contribution is not up to 10% .the highest number of industries are located in ogun state and they pay duties and cumulative figures will tell you ,your industries are few and contribute less and your business dont go global .its always the same after many years.there is a difference between exploration and prospecting .

Of what relevance is your copy and paste fake internet? By a house in America means what? That I own America?

You don'w own anything in Lagos, your C of C is a lease that is revocable by the state Government at any time.

Every tribe in Nigeria own something in Lagos, but only you Igbos shout and scream to the moon that you are special...

Just wonder why you people beat your dry and empty chests over nothing.

Joe Igbokwe says it raw!

"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"

I couldn't even read up to 25% of this baseless article. From a well known Bipolar patient.


Yorubas are established Cowards and that's why they never went to war, They are fucking scared of their Gambari masters.

Even little ALL female Dahomey warriors invaded Yoruba land more than once n cleared them battle after battle.


Even if Buhari stabs Osinbanjo live on NTA, The yorubas won't still do anything. They are peaceful slaves, It's their trademark.



If Yorubas had just 10% of the guts of the Igbos, We wouldn't have been in this mess.

Unfortunately, most of the post I am seeing here is abuse to our brother for his well thought out and useful advice. It appears the message was not important to some of us. Well, he had envisaged that judging by his closing statement.

As for me, it's a statement from the marble and I am one of your new friends for this kind of message.

Igbokwe is a mad man.

Igbokwe is greater than oju iku who led millions of senseless ipod morons to their early grave. Igbokwe is greater than nnamdi kanu the scammar who had no job, came to nigeria to deceive the moronic ipods, collected their money, led thousands of them to early grave and some to jail and later fled to ghana to enjoy his money made from fraud.
