hmmmm.. obosi?...one of alaba market most powerful men... I could recall that, someone once narrated an incident where this same "obosi" ordered the whole alaba market or perhaps a particular market section,not to open their shop at a particular date.. he then brought a very expensive car that worth millions of naira to an open place in the same alaba market, then brought out a gun and then sprayed extreme amount of bullets into the car.. he threatened to shoot whosoever go against his order the same way he has done to the car.. (don't know if it is true incident)...


I don't know how true it was but i heard about the incident,i schooled in LASU and i can say that the same man is also one of the king pin for film pirate..........he is too powerful for other traders,guess they want to take their own pound of flesh from him............its about time though

If na Lagos state task force dey come collect tax now, they no go let us hear word. They will be screaming Discrimination and Marginalisation.
But a market tout called "Obosi" have been terrorizing them for years and we are only now beginning to hear about it.
IPOD Hypocrisy.

this is where the igbos differ from yorubas. Igbos will not allow one person control them and will always revolt.

Nah their brother dey do dem this time thank God.
U should know dat right from time immemorial, Igbos don't tolerate nonsense, whether de person is their brother or not. They ar not people dat will see impunity & injustice & then keep quiet. They must react or voice out. That was partly what led to the civil war because they could not tolerate de maltreatment from de Hausas, hence, their decision to seceed. They believe so much in de Rule of Law, democracy, equality & justice. If u trace de history of Igbos u wil know dat it has always been like dat. In fact in de pre-colonial Nigerian Society, Igbos were the most democratic among all tribes. Rememba de popular Aba Women Riot of 1929 & its major causes. Evn up til today, dat strong democratic blood is stil in them, because to them, they strongly believe dat no one feeds or shelters de others; so why shuld one lord himself ova others? So, my dear, dat is one true & lovly fact u shuld always like de Igbos for, no mata what.

Re: Alaba Market Closed As Traders Protest Over Obosi - The Sun by czaratwork: 2:04pm On Aug 17, 2016
that is why they(igbos) are revolting. Can Yorubas try it? Iyaloja is inherited and she can close the market for 1 week and nobody dares complain. SMH

NameChecker:
Traders in that section of the market, locked their shops to protest the overbearing influence of Chief Azubuike Ekwerekwu, aka Obosi, who they claimed had enslaved them over the years, by forcing them to pay through their noses in matters of security, shops and PSP, among others. They also accused him of ‘manipulating the elected executives’ to exploit them.

I can to check name grin


What will then be the fate of the New Biafra Republic if created?
The 0.1% richest will lord over the weakest.

This is what I called obosiiozation of poor IPOB market.

If your own man can treat you like this in another man land, I wonder what he will do if you perhaps get a sovereign nation of Biafra.
Hahaha... You nailed it

Oops! I never hear anything wailing concerning marginalization o. The fact remains that the greatest enemy of every ethnic group remains the members of that same ethnic group. You want to know if your brother truly loves you? Then wait until the presidency is zoned to between you two. Then you will know if he loves you or not. The greatest threat to human co existence is greed. Greed has nothing to do with ethnicity. Its simply a default human setting
