They are united and they voted in bulk for the President right from 1999 to 2015, same will surely happen in 2019 by GOD grace. It can be confirmed from OBJ and Jonathan era. The only fault is that they don't negotiate well, they don't look ahead or apply heuristic calculation; they ought to bargain with whosoever APC or PDP, don't use sentiment or personal thoughts rather generalised. In a nutshell there is need to act with thorough analysis. Politics is like checkers - draft game (you have to give before you take, at times you give, give and give before you begin taking with calculated tactics) or chess game, if you don't make the right move forget it... You become vulnerable.

Just imagine how the SS and SW will negotiate with PMB and Atiku on separate grounds, it will be a win-win situation.

One thing is sure... If you choose a wrong side, don't expect to reap where you didn't sow.

I am here to expose the lie called Igbos are not united. Simple.

Yourbas have been choosing the non winning side for years, and just 3yrs of being on the winning team, I no go hear word, they want me to believe they are political heroes. Abeg

Boyooosa:

I mentioned trust earlier and in affirmation, that's Atiku major problem. He can not be trusted. His desperation can not be traced to his current age alone but as at the first tenure of obj, he started the desperation vack then. He showed it in the time of gej and even in the early days of buhari emerging as the president. I dont want to go into his youthful period as a custom officer. His business life and the rest...
I think fashola is having some undiscovered health challenges for him to be making such hallucinations for campaign and I believe if buhari himself still has a good mental capacity to analyse, he will find out that that manifesto will cast them both in the sw n the se.
Yoruba people generally don't like cheating and as well detest to be cheated.

correct!
u r right about this.

Everybody knows that 2023 2019 election is supposed to favor se and by no reason I would think the good Yoruba's would work against that.

wrong sir!
2019 would've/should've bn their moment had they allowed d north to complete yaradua's 2nd tenure. But dt unwritten "zoning formula" was scuttled by their unequivocal support for GEJ and d campaign of calumny + unbrittled hatred/hate speeches against d hausas and yorubas.
But u are very correct in d sense that had they not taken d "hate" path they took, and allowed d north complete yaraduas 2nd term which would've ended in 2019, d Yorubas (due to theur fair nature) would've stood by them ce 2019. But as things stand now, is it d "afongas" dt they openly show contempt for dt will rally around them? The Yorubasare generally (known to be) liberal and hospitable, hence the peaceful nature of the sw. But the 2015 election and d events after it has opened their eyes. so, so SMH.

But my fear is that, will se be intelligent enough to come with a credible candidate? Not with their record and even their present disjoint. I hope sha...

I love it that u r fair with ur opinion and balance in your judgment. Let me confirm it to you that if the SE do the right thing by coming up with a credible and sellable candidate, he will win sw and its coast including seme, Togo and the neighbouring international communities, I tells you. That's who we are! We did it to obj who was our own in 1999. Yoruba preferred a camerounian back then to obj because he was a choice of the northerners who have made our people suffered and Lost a lot back then. But Yoruba people also believe that forgiveness is sacred which made them to change their minds in 2003.
What I'm saying here is, Yoruba always like to do the appropriate thing appropriately.
Fashola with that statement is under spell of PDP and that only, might actually work against them if care is not taken.
Still remember what happened to Akiolu back then when he unnecessarily cursed the Igbo's in Lagos, he was forced to shift his stand because his people were not happy with his decisions and actions; that is typical Yoruba stance for you.
Yoruba always try to stand where the truth stands but because of the unstable nature of the truth, Yoruba tends to be in different forms sometimes, and people mistake that for cowardice or unfaithfulness...

You people are taking all these respecting other tribes and alliances talk too far. What happens on Nairaland doesn't represent the state of Nigeria.
Igbos respect other people and that's why they coexist with several people groups in all the nooks and crannies of Nigeria. In many communities where Igbos live, they are so vital to the economy of those areas that without them, those people will find it difficult to cope. There is no local government in Nigeria where you won't see tens or even hundreds of Igbos.
Talking about alliances, because Igbos lost out in 2015, we shouldn't forget they have had strong alliances with the north for several years under PDP. Let's not blow these alliances talk out of proportion. If PDP comes back into power (which is very possible), Igbos will become key drivers of the economy again, just that we haven't been privileged to be president or VP. It's not as if most Igbos care much about those positions anyway.

2019 is just around the corner we shall all have answers to that which we seek
