mulattoclaro: Since the cable was launched they have tried so hard to become relevant and have failed. I suspect this was done deliberately knowing all they needed to do would be to apologise later. For them no publicity is bad publicity 2 Likes |

adezzy01: If Igbos weren't focused, certain anti-Igbo actions of Fashola's govt., the lagoonish oba and the bigotry of cowardly jealous people on social media would have been over-looked by Igbos. The time to let such ish slide is no more. |

wisdomguy4u: I really don't know where this general anger and aggressiveness comes from in Nigerians. The economic and social fortunes of the country must change, else, eloquent and normal people like the above poster will multiply. And you wonder why most label people from your part of the world as aggressive. |

EUROBOMBER:
Fellow Nigerians, I have taken
time to study recent happenings
in our nation before and after
the elections and I have come to
conclude that there is a grand
plan to start some kind of war in
Nigeria. Some people thought
that the last presidential election
was going to be the last straw to
break the camel's back but are
still in shock that the presidential
election has been conducted and
Nigeria is still at peace even with
the incumbent losing the
election.
Discerning minds can see that a
pattern has been set to
overheat the system especially
by generating so much hatred
and tension between the Igbo
and the Yoruba. The rate at
which it is going it is looking like
one week one trouble. The
pattern is that there is usually a
provocative comment (alleged or
true) made by a prominent
Yoruba and somehow this is fed
to the public and when the get to
know of such comments, they
become overwhelmed with
anger.
Just check:
Before all these started, recall
that a Twitter account was
identified where a young man
was calling for the killing of all
the Igbos. Now I believe that the
picture shown on that twitter
account might even be that of
someone that died many years
ago. That twitter account was
most likely created by the
wicked forces outside Nigeria
that intend to spark of a bloody
ethnic conflict in Nigeria.
1. The case of the Yoruba Oba of
Lagos-HRH Oba Akiolu where the
Igbos were threatened with
death in the Lagos lagoon.
2. The case of the Yoruba
cardiologist in the US where a call
for genocide against the Igbo
was seen on his facebook page.
(He says his account was
hacked)
3. Most recently the case of the
Yoruba Nobel Laureate-Prof Wole
Soyinka released by the Cables
revealing some provocative
comments about the Igbo.
I want every intelligent mind to
observe this, in the case of Dr
Ariyo, he said his account was
hacked and I am inclined to
believe that this is true. The
people behind this agenda to set
Nigeria on fire are most likely the
same people that used his
facebook account to post such
hate words against the Igbo.
These are the same people that
opened that twitter account I
mentioned earlier where a call to
kill all Igbos was made.
Look at the case of Prof Wole
Soyinka too, how can an
organisation like the Cable
release such hate speech and
tagging it to this man if not that
some powerful forces were
behind such. It is this same group
of people that want Nigerians to
start killing one another that
used the Cables site to release
that speech. Wole Soyinka
himself has denied ever making
such comments.
My Igbo and Yoruba brothers,
please wake up and see that
there are powerful forces pulling
the strings underground to
cause hatred between us and
the agenda is to take it to a level
where it will be too much to bear
and violence would be the only
solution. The forces behind this
ultimately want a massive show
of bloodshed in Nigeria starting
with the Igbo vs Yoruba. Some
people initially thought that the
boko haram problem up north
would start a religious war in
Nigeria especially when churches
were been blown to pieces every
week but that failed. They later
on resorted to attacking
Muslims in the north even in their
mosques to see if that would
anger the muslims enough to
start a massive campaign of
violence against Christians but
that also failed.
Let us all be wise and open our
eyes, these forces plotting to
plunge Nigeria into war are likely
operating outside Nigeria. The
boko haram option in Northern
Nigeria failed to start the needed
Christian vs Muslim war and boko
haram is gradually winding down
activities. Let us continue to
pray for this nation and keep our
emotions in check so that we do
not witness a sort of bloodshed
in this country that would be
second to none in history. These
evil forces have now shifted
their attention to the Southern
part of Nigeria and intend to
start a campaign of massive
bloodshed by starting a violent
Igbo vs Yoruba conflict. We are
too big to start a bloody
confrontation against ourselves
in this country, where do we run
to for refuge? The numbers in
Lagos alone can overwhelm
Cotonou and even Ghana/Togo
with a massive influx of
refugees. How much refugees
can flee through Bakassi? How
much refugees can flee from
the North into Niger Republic &
Chad? Just with the boko haram
problem Niger is already
complaining and sending backing
Northern Nigerian refugees.
This is the only county we have
and we must do all we can to
protect this country and ensure
progress & development.
This message is especially for all
the Igbos & Yorubas whose
hearts have now been darkened
and filled with so much anger and
hate waiting to manifest. Let us
put the evil ones to shame and
ensure that their dream of an
Igbo-Yoruba war does not come
to pass!
GOD BLESS NIGERIA! 1 Like |

UncleJudax: We see all the time how they respond to every issue with unrestrained emotions, sentiments, ultimatums and vernoms. They are in the US as we speak doing the same thing over what has already been denied by the alleged perpetrator. They are picketing the doctor at his place of work and trying to have him fired or disrupt his business. When was the last time Yoruba or Hausa people displayed such emotions and extreme behavior over anything? A low of insulting, negative and derogatory utterances were made against Yoruba and Hausa people , but do you see them issuing ultimatums, demonstrating, asking for people to be fired, displaying out of control emotions and misplaced sentiments. I stand by my comment. |
