How many yorubas are in your cities? When I went to Enugu for law school, all the Yorubas bandied together because your land felt like North Korea. The people were hostile, the soil was red, the water was hard and the environment generally unconducive. I don't pray to ever step foot in the east again. This truism holds true for 97% of Yorubas. We rather live and die in the land of our forbears.
how many igbos live in ur 5 brown roof states
(Ondo, osun,Ekiti ,ogun,Oyo) any igbo that is living there is mainly for business,
you people hardly invest in your land , the last time i went to oyo to pick up item from a colleague, my afro hair turned red due to mud everywhere

It will not stop because seun is using it to make himself rich. Seun allowed Afonja, iPod, flat head and all other names without taking due actions. No the situation is almost irredeemable. I was somewhere and somebody called another guy Afonja. I just shook my head because I know it is nl that has lead to this. So direct your queries to him.

The quest for a united Nigeria is really a wild goose chase. Brainless kids have further squandered the slim chances of such a possibility.

I am an Yoruba man and an afonja. I won't let the insolence of this Igbos get to me. We need to engage them constructively to enable them get Biafra and leave our cities. This should be your concern and not whether you are called an afonja.

U need to get this straightened out in your head.
Even if Biafra comes, Igbos will not abandon their properties, work and businesses that are in the South West, it doesn't work that way...

Quit running around all threads talking trash on how you gonna push out Igbos from Southwest, unless you're talking about another War. Then you may have a point, but if you ain't talking war, keep shut!!

If Biafra is actualized legitimately, there will be terms and conditions guiding the agreement, it's a very long walk... We can't start now to speculate what exactly will be on the bargain ground, even Britain that voted to leave EU, haven't finalized their terms and conditions of exit

And I hope you know, EU- citizens (non British citizens) who were already resident in the Britain prior the Exit, are not going to be deported or sacked from work undecided neither is their business going to be closed down.....

Also note, some Yoruba owned companies and even multinational organizations are also in the Southeast..

Stop getting your head messed up Bro.. cheesy
U just been shouting since, all around Nairaland space, on how Igbos are gonna be thrown out of the Southwest, kilode na undecided

Have you considered Nigerian Banks in South East, Nigerian companies, Bottling company, Police stations, Army Barracks, Federal housing Estates, NNPC depots and stations, international Airport in Enugu, various Nigerian agencies/parastatals buildings and offices etc, what about Filling stations belonging to Yoruba people and other tribes undecided, Hospitals, schools, Churches wink, and yes Some Yorubas are resident in the East...

Nigg-ar nobody is pursuing nobody

You just be ranting up and down without control, on your new found love for biafra and how you wanna help them out, so the can live your land grin, for real niggur grin

Quit thinking like a Lil kid, it doesn't work that way...

Igbos probably welcome your support, but don't get it twisted there is NOT gonna be a mass exodus of Igbos from Southwest to East... Real Werey grin

Where do you get this ideas from, and funny enough you have been getting likes and support from saying this thrash, I guess that's why you felt you have been making a valid point grin grin delusion I must say. cheesy..

Once again, I say unless you're talking about Violence, anarchy and Full blown war, then we can start talking about that

FYI, Biafra has never been about Igbos leaving Southwest, that's has never been the idea even in 1966..

Lastly, don't also overrate the importance of the Southwest to the Igbos. And I hope you are aware that Igbos in Lagos or the entire Southwest is not more than 20-30% of the Igbo population

Even, Amongst the states in SW, it's only Lagos that Igbos have a reasonable population, which is due to the Metropolitan and business nature of Lagos.

Lagos is home to all Nigerians, though it's a Yoruba land, no argument about that.

Nigeria was structured in a way that makes Lagos and Abuja to an extent so strategic and will I say necessary or unavoidable........

That's where the functional seaport is, that's were Embassies are located, and VFS offices.
That's where the major international market and airport are, most headquarters are there, even Oil companies in Niger Delta have their headquarters in Lagos angry I don't blame them though.....

There are somethings you can only do/get in Lagos, like Police clearance, at least back then, it was only in Lagos state I could get that, because Nigeria made it so angry...
There are some certain certifications or exams that you can only do in Lagos or Abuja

Don't worry yourself about Igbos returning to South East, once most of the infrastructure and developmental strides starts to take place in the SouthEast, naturally many Igbos will love to come back, and many Igbos who go to Lagos for one job, for Visa matters, import or export may simply do that in any of the Southeastern state..

Worry not Sire, have a blissful evening!

I'm neither a supporter or fan of IPOB/Nnamdi Kanu, just a logical Igbo man

Very true. As a Niger Delta, I just sit back and watch these two tribes from the East and West calling themselves names upandan.
Afonja, Igbos, cone heads, every Yoruba man is from osogbo, anybody who has a different opinion from an Ipob supporter is labelled Afonja or Yoruba Muslim and many more.

It's very funny how the display of tribalism is encouraged on nairaland.
