The question should be "Can Igbos build a trust among themselves when it counts?" Yorubas did not stop Alex Ekwueme from securing the presidential ticket at the Jos convention. His fellow Igbos, Kalu and Nwobodo did.

For our information many Yorubas were sympathetic to Biafra. Soyinka even went to jail as a result. Also the recent rebuttals from notable Yorubas like Olu Falae to Obasanjo's claim (that Biafra was fought over resource control) during his Bayelsa State visit is an indication that good people are everywhere.

Heis

First of all welcome to BiafraNigeria world message board. We are glad to have you.

Yes you are right there are good people every where. Yes few yorubas did speak out, However those who mattered whom yorubas listen to usually make a u turn when it count the most. Look at what is going on with the resources control fight. History is a better indicator whether a southern solidarity could work or not.

Thanks Biafra for the post once again.

There we go again some people will say. However, this question is so important that it is re-posted and possibly hear the opinion and concerns directly from Yorubas.


HELS.

Glad to hear from you and as you know Igbos have tendency to welcome strangers in the square before speaking. Your no longer a stranger but in my eyes still a yellow belly of course demonstrative of the Yoruba continuous act of cowdice unless proven otherwise. Your welcomed

Soyinka I have always believed is a Biafran brother for his monstrous belief in dissecting Nigeria into three. He has never flinched or changed his mind for Sovereign National Conference. However, he is one in a million Yoruba.
The question of trust by the Igbos is mostly fixated to the role the Yoruba leaders played, particularly the loud mouth of the Yoruba Express, Obafemi Awolowo during the war.We would like any Yoruba to break the jinks to us.Why did he make 360 degree turn against the Igbos before and after the war? What does the Yorubas e.g OPC think of Biafra yesterday, today and tommorrow? Why did it take the OPC several years to cry freedom and sing the songs of Aburi?

I was one of those who threw rocks and shouted kill him, kill him, kill him in Aba when Awolowo came to campaign. I will still recommned kill him even though he is at peace.This hardcore feelings tells you how we feel about the Yorubas. You may call it insanity or psychological, it is reality.

Now convince me otherwise to lay down my ineffectual feelings against your people. I fought the war as a teenage mutant Biafran although I did not shoot a gun but I saw misery, misfit Hausas and witnessed the obvious, death. My father was a victim of abandoned property compliment of your hero Awolowo. Talk to me Hels.

I hope you break that jinks for me.

Hail Biafra

This new (S)NC fraud that Obasanjo is now pushing is one more issue on which the Yoruba ought to show that they can be trusted. First, they wanted SNC. Then, they got their Efulefu into Aso Rock, and they rebuffed SNC. Now they want (S)NC to start in Igboland. Tufiakwa.

Hasn't it been warned time without number that you cannot trust these folks called "Yorubas" when it comes to dialogueing and conferencing? I do not care what their motives are, I still do not have faith in them, period.
