Yoruba don't want anything in Nigeria, they are just satisfied with Igbo marginalization and hoping that power will keep on rotating between yoruba and north but in 2023 they will kiss the dust in Nigeria politics and they will never recover in the long run. No future, no ambition, nothing just hope to be receiving monthly allocation from Abuja from Niger delta oil and thats all.

you said more to buhari 2019 election

Lets not deceive ourselves both Igbos and Yorubas do not like the Power the North is using to dominate us. I am Yoruba and i like the courage the igbos have to leave Nigeria because there is no future for this country, it will only get worse. Though Azikiwe caused all this. Lets put that aside and focus on the main issue, there are two ways the tribes in the South can successful leave Nigeria.

1. The emergence of a Southern President, that will have the balls to stylishly restructure the military to take away the dominance of the North. Remember the North dominate the military without that no Southern tribe will be able to secede.

2. Another Civil War but this time the Igbos or Yorubas must win the war without the other tribe supporting the North like we Yorubas did when we supported the North.

My conclusion, the only way the constituent ethnic nations can prosper is for an homogenous country like that of the Western countries.

We didn’t support the north, let’s not get it twisted. We supported our country and fought against those who waged war against us and we won. Simple and plain, there was no colluding, a nuisance broke the constitution and his people paid the price for it for not talking sense into him, then he ran like a coward after he got dealt with.

Nice thread. To be honest, I think federalism or regionalism is the best way to go but it doesn't look viable for now. Current SW political leaders are nationalist/pro-one Nigeria. Other options, we should hope for a Yoruba presidency in 2023, we should hope the person has learnt from OBJ mistakes. If things go the other way in 2023, we can wait and see what the person has got for us. Yorubas are very intelligent and smart people, we can manage any situation. We don't take sides without proper reasons, we are diplomatic, we don't let our emotion, religion or whatsoever affect our decisions or moves.

Finally, not to sound unpatriotic but I don't think this country is redeemable, lets just survive and make a good life for ourselves, family and children.

How is Igbo man the cause of current Nigeria woes, can you state some.

1. North have rule Nigeria for more than 40 years
2. Yoruba 11 years
3. Igbo less than 2 years.

Yes Igbos have only ruled for less than two years, but the actions taken in those two years is what has gotten us to where we are today.

Was it not an igbo man that collapsed the regional arrangement?

Was it not an Igbo man that led the first ever coup in Nigeria?

Was it not an Igbo man that stripped the various regions of their constitutional powers and concentrated it at the center?

Was it not an Igbo man that vehemently fought against the idea of having a secession clause in our constitution?

So yes, the igbos haven't ruled Nigeria as mush as the Hausas and Yorubas but their actions and inactions during their short stint in power was what laid the foundation for the problems we find ourselves today
