You can't compare Lagos, a melting pot of diverse Nigerian groups to Abakaliki wholly dominated by Igbo people.
I asked a question which would invariably point to the differences between Lagos and Abakilili but i 'm suprised you couldn't respond but chose to call me daft. You are not being civil.

Once again are Hausa people a majority group in Abakiliki like the Igbos of Lagos?
Do they dominate any part of Abakiliki like Igbos in Ojo lga and Festac?
Are they equal contributors in the affairs of Abakiliki?
You can't compare Lagos and Abakilili. Igbos presence, contribution and population in Lagos can't be overemphasized, can't say the same for the Hausa in Abakiliki!

Afam4eva:

I noticed this while in Owerri. Landed properties are really expensive down there and i kinda understand why it's expensive.

izzou:


We arent talking about who owns anywhere. We are talking about his people giving him a reasonable number of votes that can make him win. Igbos dont own Alaba, Ojo or Festac but they dwell heavily there. Na highest number of votes dey win, no be who get the place. Thats just my point

Can I, as a westerner, go to the east to vie for a political post

wristbangle:


So you don't want Biafra again Igbos? You can't eat your cake and have it back. If you want to stay in Nigeria, first of all refrain your bile tongue from hateful words.

wristbangle:


Baba, You have spoken well because judging from the recent hatred words oozing from ipob members in the east hence enough to stop them from holding any political office outside their zones. You should know by now some of them want to eat their cake and have it back. Even if that wants to happen, no need to spew hateful words to your hosts forgetting you will need them in future. Can any tribe go to east to contest for political office? Let's even start from land purchase, they won't sell their land to non indigenes let alone from another tribe.

However according to the law, they have the right to contest for electoral post even now that it's happening in a domain dominated by them.

I have some handful liberal igbo friends in amuwo Odofin, Ojo, festac who seriously hate the recent agitation to secede giving strong instance to why one Nigeria would benefit them more than biafra.

Lagos is not a yoruba Land, The oba of Lagos said it, if you're not the Oba of Lagos don't say otherwise, you don't have the power to declare otherwise.

OkoYibo:


You're being deceitful.

Even minority Igbos aren't allowed to contest. An hausa man contested for Councillorship position in Ebonyi amd and Igbos here on Nairaland called it an abomination.

And many jobless, Vissionless, missionless, ambionless and futureless Igbo Youths are here in the East wasting their precious man-hour following Nnamdi Kanu upanda


Guy must you insult to make your senseless point
Once we loose that precious aspect of our culture which is humility to serve our master,(i.e learning trade, skills) intelligence, perseverance and diligence, we loose the dignity of our identity

Omofunaab2:



You just want to be selectively blind. .. I have showed you the example of abakpa ward 1 in Ebonyi State where a certain alhaji Sanusi mohammed.. . besides having businesses, shops etc are not known to be part of electoral requirements for contesting a councillorship seat...

QueenOfNepal:
I pray you look for work in my company owned by an Igbo man. I will dump your CV in the trash can the moment i print it out

fratermathy:


What do you mean by "minority Igbos"? Are there any that I don't know of? Igbo is Igbo and Igbo is not a minority.

So explain yourself. Don't give the impression that you are referring to SS minorities that are non-Igboid as "minority Igbos".

Nwakaumu:
So igbos will not go to foreign land again because they want biafra?no wonder they say an average yoruba man thinks like a 10 years old igbo boy.keep staying in you rusted zinc ogbomosho mud house while eating amala and ewedu and expect the world to come and pay you"nigur if u wanna be rich,get off ur ass. homage.lazy folks

Marotzke:
is it necessary that you say this?
Do you really need the bile and antagonism that comes with your assertion?
Igbos have billions if not trillions of naira worth of investment in these areas.
Being part of the local politics is very necessary to protect these investments.
Is it really necessary to use the word "Dominate"?
Must you look for trouble where none exist?

Omofunaab2:



Yeah still same thing, even if you bring the entire Ebonyi State to come and vote for an igbo man in ikorodu, ijebu people will never allow it to stand .. . Bro I'm just being honest

Afam4eva:

I have not disagreed with your point and i accepted that things like that happen, not just in the SE but all over the country. Do you know that a lot of Yoruba landlords don't rent to Igbo tenants? How do you explain that? I guess you will have a cogent point to exonerate Yoruba landlords. That's not to say that there are open minded Yoruba landlords and there are a lot of them. So, you see, these things are not peculiar to any region.

wristbangle:


I am aware of some yoruba landlords who are somewhat hostile to Igbo people. It wasn't like this before but due to the boastful words from some of your people which results to it.

OkoYibo:


The SS are independent people and not Igbos.

Within Igboland, there is widespread discrimination against fellow Igbos. Don't come here and tell me Igbo is igbo when the Osu caste system exists.

Haven't you heard here on Nairaland when some miscreants refer to Nsukka and Abakaliki people as Wawa?

KemjikaEme:

There is no group that don't discriminate and have internal rancour.
The Igbos are more pronounced because folks like you that want to die on Igbo cases spread it on Nairaland.
Okrika and Kalabari fight each other yet they are Ijaws.
In fact,there are more intra-ethnic fights in the Niger delta than amongst the Igbos.
When the lights are low, Ijebu, Awori and Egun will say they are not Yorubas.
Brotherly fights and quarrels are not unique to Igbos, so don't be stupidlly stereotypical!

KemjikaEme:

I just saw that others have given you similar responses yet you can't rise above your myopic opinion and sentiments against Igbos. Ask yourself this question, have you seen an Igbo contest elections in Sokoto state being fully aware that Igbos don't heavily dominate Sokoto irrespective of the fact that they may have viable sources of income.
An Igbo man is ultimately a better candiate for any political party where ever Igbos dominate.
Where in Igboland or Abakiliki do Hausas dominate or populate that will make a Hausa man an ideal candidate?
If you can't still relate then bigotry has taken over your sense of reasoning.

evilyoruba:

Diabolical people, you hate Biafra with passion and yet get annoyed that Igbo's called Lagos a no mans land.... This is time for diabolical Yoruba's to choose what they want...Yoruba's can't keep speaking with 2 mouths ....it is either Lagos is a no mans land or Biafra... You can't eat your cake and have it ....tiger face unstable cowards

NwaEzefuNaMba:


what will it cost for you to keep your mouth shut?
must you castigate everything you are not in support of?
how many times have you seen a core northerner condemning Buhari?
how many core northerners have seen condemning Boko haram?
people are been detained for criticizing Kaduna state governor.
an Igbo man from Delta state was arrested, detained and granted a 50 thousand bail for merely naming his dog Buhari.
in as much as i personally dislike their mode of operation, but the last thing i will do is coming to a public forum to condemn them.

greatiyk4u:


Point noted and thanks

victorvezx:

U are not even ashamed of urself. U feel good that igbos can contest for election in the south west, but u condemn Hausa people from doing the same in the south east. Evil hypocrite. U are a bigot. I think ebony I naturally share a border with benue state, and benue is like an extension of northern Nigeria, because they historically were part of the north. There are millions of Hausa/Fulani in benue state, so it will only be reasonable that thousands can enter neighbouring ebonyi state and dominate an area, especially the border areas.

OkoYibo:


Look here, you ill-bred mongrel. It is a known fact that Igbos discriminate against everyone even their own blood. Need examples?

Anambra versus Enugu, Abia sacking Imo workers, All if them versus Ebonyi (Wawa people)

Traditionally, discrimination is the basic thread that binds clusters of Igbos together. That is why Igbos were never united enough to build any ancient city, Empire, monument or heritage.

When you go to the East, you see little clusters of houses each claiming to be an 'autonomous community'.

The Igbos are so bleeped up that even daughters are regarded as third class citizens in their own fathers' compounds. Once a man dies, his daughters can't inherit his property. It took the Supreme Court to give a voice to the millions of Igbo daughters oppressed by their own blood brothers.

The only time you see Igbos united together is whenever they want to do something criminal or evil. They have never been united to do develop, build, leave legacies or anything good.

Afam4eva:

Exactly what i was expecting from you and you sure didn't disappoint. Yorubas must really be perfect since any ill that they're involved in is as a result of something else. So, boastful words from Igbos is the reason why some Yorubas don't rent to Igbos? Wow, you just knocked me off my feet.

KemjikaEme:

Lmao! Wait for that time to come to taste the political relevance of Igbos in Ikorodu.
