That's what they do. Any slightest provocation, you will either see them run to The barracks or call their kingmens who are uniform men. Before you say Jack rob....., them don land.
The mile 12 market incidence comes to mind.

dudebuck:
We know una

Demmzy15:
Chestbeater!!!

Sarkin:
SIGH...

I DON'T KNOW WHY SOME PEOPLE (I WON'T TAG ANYONE) ARE FILLED WITH HATE!!!

THEY JUST DON'T LIKE PEACE AND NEVER WANT TO LIVE PEACEFULLY IN A PEACEFUL AND SANE SOCIETY...

ANY SMALL THING THEY'LL SAY "IT'S BECAUSE HE'S YOUR KINSMAN" BETTER GROW UP YOU PEOPLE.

WATCH AS SOME RETARDS WILL SPEW CRAP ON THIS THREAD NOW.

AND OP CAN'T YOU PASS YOUR MESSAGE WITH ATTACHING ETHNIC SENTIMENTS?

There is nothing as good as saying the truth!

After all it is the truth that will set you free!

Every unbiased Nigerians knows that only 3 things would make a military man listen to you in this country. Namely:
1. Money

2. If you are from the North ( the worst aspect is that 85-90% of the military are from the North)

3. Order from the oga @ the top!

Others are more tolerant than the north

So stop behaving as if you are not a Nigerian

[s]firstly, this is an abuse of the military. an insult to the Nigerian military. that the military would be called to a trivial case like this is abhorring. this is a chairman's case.

secondly, the reporter is biased. we do not know what happened really. some igbo men are known to display hostility toward northerners or other tribes who do not speak igbo. they feel superior to everyone and want to get the first seat and they insult people for no reason.

thirdly, this might chase many customers away. igbo men make a lot of cash from hausa customers.

everything is translated into tribe and racism. I do not see it happening here. the hausa man does not speak igbo and the mob might have scared him. if I were the one i would definitely do the same. because the people in that onitsha market act too wise and too aggressive.

i love the way they stood up against the military and this is a warning to other clients that the military does not have the ultimate power. they will surely try to solve the issues before it escalates.

but where is the chairman's presence all along? all customers should know who to report to when they face unfair treatment. the reason this case got to the chairman's office is that the military got involved. would the chairman have paid any attention had the military not come?

is there a hotline that customers can reach to report any challenge?

is the chairman's office at a visible range or central location that customers can easily reach?

the fact is that the chairman allows traders to sell fake good and write fake invoice. many people have fallen victims to onitsha marketers. they all know but they think that they are smarter than everyone else. when one is faced with a case like that only the military intervention is sure.

you can quote and insult me but the truth never changes.

the one that hausa man did is worthy of an announcement. but the crimes committed in onithsa market daily is called wisdom. the fake goods and fake drugs sold there to kill people. why is no one reporting it?

if you stand up to military provocation against one igbo man, what stops you from standing up against the thousands of innocent people dying from fake good and fake drugs produced in onitsha market?[/s]
that is what honesty is all about i guess.

Ogonimilitant:
Why would the useless Abboki go to invite military? is this not a civil matter they should have called police?. Thanks to the brave Igbo guys. Meanwhile in another story Abokki arrested Afonja iman in Ilorin and he is still under detaintion.

BafanaBafana:
For that guy to have marched to the barracks to bring soldiers means a grave injustice had been metted on him.
We know how igbos hate hausas and will use every opportunity to pounce on a hausa.
Something that doesn't happen in the north.
