Ipobidents are the biggest ers of tyranny, it is their modus operandi.

Ojukwu, Trump, Netanyahu, Simon Ekpa, Ibrahim Traore.

Imagine. The igbo hatred for Yorubas is astonishing. What Yorubas have for Igbos is distrust. These same people gaslight Yorubas for not voting GEJ forgetting that 2015 voting pattern was very similar to 2011 voting pattern in SW. They should learn manners.

There is so much to learn in Newspaper publishing, record keeping and understanding how Nigerias history is evolving.

If not, for young folks like us, one would have argued some things were not said.

It's safe to say that Abacha, all his Igbo ers including shameless Ojukwu that fled to Abidjan during the civil war, all had hand in the death of M.K.O Abiola.

No doubt we will soon be told here that he did really mean it, or that the newspaper made it up.

When you analyse Nigeria's history disionately and with a calm head, you will find that the top echelons of the South West political class have always been the least likely to make inflammatory remarks about people or groups outside the region.

For example, you would not find any top tier political leader in the SW come out and say Mr Kanu should be sent to life imprisonment, this or that.

It just won't happen because in our side, it is drummed into your head at a very early age that what is not your business in not your business.

That's why no developer will never taste the corridor of presidency of this nation.

History will never forget how Ojukwu with his selfish interest lead his tribe to unnecessary war and wasted almost 3-4million lives of his people.

..... and they always cry of injustice.

The coward begged and begged till he was finally pardoned and allowed to return to Nigeria from Ivory Coast.
A man that led his people to needless war, wasted over 3 million of his kind, still fled to safe place after losing the war had the effrontery to tell his fellow tyrant in the person of Abacha to hang M.K.O Abiola whose only crime was he requesting that his election victory be upheld and mandate restored.
Just imagine the set of people we are doing 'One Nigeria' with.

Maybe he was annoyed that MKO never for once begged for his mandate, rather MKO stood his ground till the end of his life.... And later some people will start calling SW cowards..

That particular man (Ojukwu) had deep hatred for Yorubas.. reason he faced South West before the war broke out, instead of facing North where Igbos suffered mass killings and pogroms in the hand of Northerners. The idea of seeing a Yoruba man sworn-in as elected President must have angered him so much to the point of making such careless utterances.
M.K.O Abiola fought till his last breath to reclaim his mandate from the tyrants and their hatchet men like Nzeribe, Kanu etc.. Even his wife Kudirat never backed down from the June 12 struggle to show that Yorubas have never been known for cowardice.

Exacfly I am glad you now see why it is utterly foolish n senseless for any Igbo to demand Yoruba should go and fight for your freedom for you when you are not crippled or handicapped.

Chai let this unbridled bigotry from a certain part of the country not push Nigeria into another civil war . But how this civil war will proceed is another thing. A little ignition as Nigeria prepares for the polls, a little careless utterance or action and Nigeria will be ablaze

There are many Chinese, Lebanese and Indians in Yoruba land looking for their daily bread. But there is China, Lebanon and India

Nigeria got its independence from Britain in 1960, but Nigerians are still emigrating grin
