A lot of people have been saying Igbos have never voted a Yoruba person ...you mention Obasanjo they tell you he wasn't Yoruba choice and that Igbos never voted Abiola that was Yoruba choice

First thing first let's make it clear that the person Abiola was contesting against had an Igbo man as vice

Below is the results for the 1993 presidential election ...the lost abiola got in the south east was 41% in abia , Enugu was 48% ,imo was 44%
Abiola won Anambra with over 57%

Now I dare anyone to name any Igbo presidential candidate that has gotten 10% in any south west state from 1960 till date

Yorubas are the worst tribalists in Nigeria, but they will be quick to point fingers at others

You could say that again.
Instead of issue based politics based on competent, capacity and proven track record of achievements in both public and private sectors of the foremost presidential candidates., and which among them could best tackle Nigeria's myriads woes.
We are here promoting primordial tribal and religious setiments. While, the rest of the world have since move on.

Most unfortunate discussants here are the so called youth, leader of tomorrow, carrying over the hate and bigotry of their fathers that have brought the country to her knee today.

I ask, is there hope for Nigeria if we should continue in this path of "EMI LO KAN"?
May God have mercy

I pray God opens the eyes of the youth , so that they will see the damage this tribalism had caused. Everyday, the country keeps going down the drain.

Majority didn't. Abiola only won in Anambra.

The only Igbo presidential candidate since 1960 that had the national spread was Nnamdi Azikiwe. Prior to 1960 his party was voted for and won outside his tribe.

I don't know how tribalism stops a politician that has mass appeal not to be voted as President by other tribes. Is it tribalism that stopped ojukwu from winning the entire states in igboland?

So tinubu contested for president in 1993, if you could redirect the effort you put into tribalism on upgrading your intelligence, you can accomplish so much.
