HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF HATRED BETWEEN IGBO AND YORUBA

I had the privilege of attending some meetings of the Yoruba and Igbo Leaders. I was not a leader but a youth who knew how to wash his hands.

At one of those meetings in Owerri, I think in 1989, I think, I listened to Uncle Bola Ige and other Yoruba Leaders take the likes of Mbakwe, R. B. Okafor and others to the cleaners when the Igbo said the Yoruba were betrayers, citing that Chief Obafemi Awolowo led them into secession with a promise that if the Igbo left Nigeria, the Yoruba would follow suit.

They accused him of not following up on his promise. Trust Uncle Bola Ige! He pointed to Chief Mbakwe and said, "you were there in the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu as I was. Is that statement correct?".He turned to two other Igbo and two Yoruba Leaders who were at that meeting and asked the same question, saying he had transcripts of the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu.

They kept quiet while the Yoruba Leaders affirmed that Awolowo never promised to follow the East into secession. What he said was that if the Igbo were "driven" out of Nigeria the Yoruba would take it seriously and reassess their own position. Igbo Leaders DID NOT CONTEST this version.

Then Chief Bola Ige threw in the clincher! "Who are you to accuse the Yoruba of betrayal?" he roared, and continued:

1. At Independence Awolowo offered a joint government between the NCNC and AG, with Zik as Prime Minister and Awo as Finance Minister. Awo and Zik "were still negotiating" when it was announced that Zik would be President in a coalition with NPC of the North. The East then collaborated in destroying the West and sending Awolowo and his leutenants to jail!

2. What of the 1965 elections which the West and the East agreed to boycott? We met all night and reached agreement about 3am on the day of the election. In the morning, while the Yoruba boycotted the election, the Igbo went to vote

3. After the 1979 elections Yoruba (UPN) and Igbo (APP?) Leaders were still at the negotiating table for a coalition when to their surprise, an announcement was heard that the Igbo (APP) had agreed to a coalition with the North (NPN)

4. After the 1983 elections, 1979 repeated itself. Not giving up, Awolowo reached out to Azikiwe again for cooperation. Talks started and they met in Benin where Awo pleaded passionately that only a collaboration between The Igbo and the Yoruba could save Nigeria. They didn't reach agreement but promised to meet again. Before the next meeting, the Igbo had again teamed up with the North.

Uncle Bola paused and then continued "we can go on and on. So how dare you accuse the Yoruba of betrayal? How many Igbo have been killed in Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, Oshogbo (he mentioned other Yoruba towns)? You have your businesses in the West and went to Western schools. Yet you count the Yoruba as your enemy. You get killed in Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, Zaria etc and have your goods looted yet you consider the Hausa/ Fulani your friends. It's your choice. If you want to be slaves for ever, we can't help you"

I had never been so scared in my life. I thought the roof was going to fall. There was a pin drop silence and no Igbo dared interrupt Uncle Bola Ige because he was telling the truth. The Yoruba Leaders ended the meeting at that point and left. I hope Chief C. O. Adebayo's memoirs will give more details of those exchanges.

Now to make three points from all this:

A. The Yoruba have been stretching their hand across the Niger for a handshake for a long time. The Igbo refused to take it for a long time until recently

B. Many Igbo Leaders of the 70s, 80s and 90s deliberately perpetrated the legend of Awolowo's role betraying them into the civil war and his role in prosecuting the war, to rally the Igbo population behind themselves. The Igbo agreed on Yoruba hatred than on any other issue. So it was the fabric that held them together for a long time

C. Time heals all things. Many Igbo reading this will be hearing for the first time that their leaders of old knew for a truth that Awolowo did not break his word to Ojukwu as alleged.

Me: Nothing can make ißo like Yoruba people since they teach hatred from birth despite breeding across Yorubaland with equal rights, ißo still hates the good people of Yorubaland.Yorubaland must retain that position back as the fastest growing region in the 50s and 60s. Yorubaland must be great again.

Only if we can unite.

Lovely take on by Late Chief Bola Ige

Chill
They can't just forget so soon how a Yoruba leader used 3million of them for suya.
Let them mourn.

It is their father's that failed..... I read the full details of the transcript BTW Awo and Ojukwu...


Azikwe fvcked Eastern Nigeria up but igbos wunt accept... They want to die in yoruba land and they still claim we hate them...


Their fathers taught them hatred from birth..


No problem. Igbos can go with the north.. WEST STILL STAND ALONE..

But Yorubas are still slave to the Hausa-Fulanis. Why can't you people talk about ODUDUWA REPUBLIC

Ur leaders in the east are still slave to North...
Ur father Azikwe betrayed the South and went to the North.. Deal with that

Oduduwa come or not, we Yorubas live well.. We dont give a fvck.. 2023, we are ruling again


U Sud be concerned about igbo plight coz u can never rule Nigeria....

U can't even get Biafra... So u lost in two ways

I repeat, this is not abt hate ooo..

With the kind of atmosphere igbos have caused in this nation,, they will never and can never rule this nation...


They shud just be satisfied with their 5 SE states.....

Yorubas only loved them but they turn it to hate... This same hate they inherited from their fathers

Nonybb:
But Yorubas are still slave to the Hausa-Fulanis. Why can't you people talk about ODUDUWA REPUBLIC

Tinubu your forefathers nightmare, keep on consoling yourself with this gibberish!

Take it or leave it Igbos will never and never be the president of this country without the support of the Yoruba’s. Funny enough Yoruba’s don’t need them to actualize our Presidential ambition cause there are just mere 5%!

Y’all Igbos need to learn politics without hatred! No one gives a fuvk about U.

God bless y’all

Yoruba had the fastest growth during regionalism when the North and East marginalised our forefathers but because God had greatly blessed the great Yoruba race,we became the richest,most educated,most developed and most accommodating,liberal and most business savvy Nigerian at home and abroad.

Upon all their betrayals, Yorubas are still the richest and most successful ethnic group in Africa.

I'm expecting you to learn from sad things your forefathers did to southern Nigeria. But instead you are masturbating and typing nonsense. The one that have brain among you would be in sober mood.

You cannot buy what you cannot take home.You can only work on Yorubaland for a period and go back to Abakaliki.Why are you running away from Igboland?Igboland is gradually becoming a desert.

Get sense.You have no stake in Lagos.You are just labourers used to develop our lands.Ask Massob.
