- The Igbo/Yoruba brotherhood was cemented by the mutual supreme sacrifice made for each other by Late Gen Aguiyi Ironsi & Late Col Francis Fajuyi when both were killed in 1966 #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- Igbo & Yoruba extractions from all walks of life would gather in Enugu as one people from the two divides of the Niger to celebrate their age long but greatly ignored brotherhood #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- #HandShakeAcrossTheNiger The earlier our Southern brothers, Igbos and Yorubas realise that the future of Nigeria as a dominant economic power lies squarely in our hands, the better for our people. We cant continue in this foisted divide and rule deceit from the North.
- The Igbo & Yoruba have co-existed for hundreds of years, and no matter their differences, they have never come to blows against each other based on ethnicity. That’s a sign of their friendship beyond brotherhood. #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- It is high time the Igbo & Yoruba began to collaborate with each other, strengthen their bonds and advance their mutual causes in today’s Nigeria or their people and generation unborn perish together #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- The Igbo & Yoruba are a people of shared ancestry, DNA, culture and language. Fact! #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- The seeming division between the Igbo & Yoruba stems mostly from ignorance of shared and communal camaraderie which both groups have enjoyed over the years but relegated to the background. #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- Everyone is also invited to this epic gathering to witness the beauty of royalty, shared languages, cultures and interests between the Igbo and the Yoruba, mutual factors shared by both regions but often neglected to the detriment of their people #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger is in commemoration of 1966 counter coup that led to the killing of General Johnson Aguyi-Ironsi the then milItary head of sate and his compatriot in the South West region Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi.
- The book“The Blackworld: Evolution to Revolution” is an invaluable eye opener to what a majority of sons and daughters of Igbo and Yoruba did not know about the many shared interests between each other #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- The #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger event takes place on January 11, 2018, at The Base Event Centre, Independence Layout, Enugu, at 11am. It promises to be an epic gathering of champions of Igbo and Yoruba people
- Sad that the Igbo & Yoruba have continued to play second fiddle in almost all areas of our national life, no thanks to the presumed animosity between some leaders and peoples of the two groups. That presumed animosity ends with the #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger is a phenomenon whose time has come. It is the beginning of a new dawn for a nation of equality, fairness and justice.
- No nation thrives in an atmosphere of mutual suspicion and animosity. The #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger is a vision meant to erase such negatives among our peoples especially when such negatives are based on contrived history rather than on reality #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- The Igbo & Yoruba in their desperation for independence sold their birthrights to North,reason northerners occupies most top positions in the country.#HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- 2019 don reach and dem get interest in 2023/4 na now dem remember #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger, oh so we are no longer YOROBA COWARDS living in the ZOO abi? No be only handshake na surprise slap. Sebi una been think say politics na game of blackmail and name calling? Oya kontinu nah!
- The Igbos and Yorubas are two major tribes that have helped shaped Nigeria and made it what it is today,if they would stop bickering for a moment,i believe they would achieve more #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- Why is the #handshakeacrosstheniger reserved for just two instead of the three or all three major tribes of every state in country????? hhm!
- The #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger is therefore the gathering of Igbo and Yoruba champions in Enugu on the 11th of January, 2018. #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger
- The #HandshakeAcrossTheNiger event is only a first step towards ensuring that no part of the country is relegated to the background but that all parts our nation are treated like they truly belong in Nigeria
