Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by aljharem3: 1:06am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Leaders of Yoruba and Hausa Communities in Enugu State, Chief Ade Johnson-Adeyelu and Alhaji Haruna Sule, have cried out over what they described as endless marginalisation of the people of the two communities by the state government. In separate interviews on Monday, the two leaders regretted that all attempts made to appeal to the state government to give the people of the affected communities a sense of belonging proved abortive. They said, “The Yoruba and Hausa communities have been good to both the people and government of Enugu State. They have been doing everything expected of non-indigenes in Enugu State. We don’t think they have done anything wrong to warrant the kind of endless marginalisation they have been subjected to in the state for a long time now.” The leader of the Yoruba Community, Adeyelu, said, “The Enugu State government has done well in making Enugu peaceful for both indigenes and non-indigenes in the state. But then, I will advise the government to look into the plight of non-indigenes in the state, like every other state government in the country. The Lagos State government appointed an Igbo man commissioner in the state. That gives an average Igbo man a sense of belonging.” http://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?datex=2010&theartic=Art201107212372637 |

Did the writer stop his article half way, this story seems "abortive". Is this issue about land again? |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by aljharem3: 1:13am On Jul 22, 2011 |
ezeagu: it is about integration and not land, if yorubas in lagos and hausas in kano can do it why can't igbos allow them too to rule |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by ezeagu(m): 1:14am On Jul 22, 2011 |
What is "Igbos", I thought Enugu was a state? |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Nobody: 1:16am On Jul 22, 2011 |
They should demand for an "Awolowo state" and an "Arewa State" in Enugu In all hopes, the Yoruba and Hausas will learn to work together for a common goal on this one. Last time that happened, shiot happened. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Chyz2: 1:17am On Jul 22, 2011 |
The article is funny. What is the complaint about exactly? The author was being very ambiguous. I suspect tribal motive behind it. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by aljharem3: 1:18am On Jul 22, 2011 |
ezeagu:it is a state that is majority igbo, why can't peter obi Mr tribalist put other groups in the state appointment like it is done in the north and west that is not the right way to go about it. We need to be integrated and not acting smart think obi can eat his cake and have it |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Blackteeth(m): 1:18am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Yorubas shouldnt be relevant in enugu because they are just 0.5% of enugu population. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Chyz2: 1:19am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Ileke-IdI: I agree. They should demand a state. Makes sense. We need an extra state in the east after anioma. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by aljharem3: 1:19am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Blackteeth: who told you that please, do u think when alex101 was telling u about the amount of yorubas in the east, u think say na joke remember madonna univerity say about 30% yorubas in the university |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by aljharem3: 1:19am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Chyz*: ethnic motive on peter obi's part |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Nobody: 1:19am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Blackteeth: Majority rule, Minority right. This is not only about Yorubas, but other minority groups too. Why is it that Yorubaland easily accommodates non-Yorubas, but Igbolands can't achieve the same goal? I read an article a while ago of the same ish happening in Anambra. Ridiculous. Eventually, with the lack of jobs in Lagos, more Yorubas and Hausas, Fulanis and other groups will be pouring into the SE. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Chyz2: 1:21am On Jul 22, 2011 |
alj_harem: Peter obi isnt even the governor of Enugu. Shows how much u know,lol |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by aljharem3: 1:22am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Ileke-IdI: yorubas and northerner are not minorities in anambra, enugu and rivers state in anambra and enugu alone u would not suspect the amount of yorubas you see yorubas easly blend to enivroment just like in the north and would look like one of us. there are alot of people that u would think they are igbo but they are yorubas, same with northerner rivers state is almost becoming a yoruba state, port harcourt |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by aljharem3: 1:23am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Chyz*: not the governor sorry that is anambra chime |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Nobody: 1:25am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Alj harem, in your post, can you modify "accommodation" to "accommodates". I'm busying filing a case study, typing fast. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Chyz2: 1:25am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Ileke-IdI: ^^^ Read below, dummy: alj_harem: |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by bashr4: 1:25am On Jul 22, 2011 |
alj what exactly are they complaining about ? political appointment(we have idomas that are enugu natives too)? land(land is not free anywhere)? pilgrimage(enugu govt should have no buisness with that afterall its a christian state)? jobs(federal presence is low in enugu so residents depend on state and private sector and enugu dont really have a big economy)? i know you had tribalist intentions when posting this thread but i dont see what the complaint is about. as long as no body is harrasing anybody in enugu na all man to himself. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Chyz2: 1:27am On Jul 22, 2011 |
alj_harem: @ the bolded, you've obviously never been to PH not to talk of anywhere period in Rivers state,lol. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Nobody: 1:28am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Chyz*: Boy, article says Enugu Govt has done well in sustaining peace, but the article is implying that marginalization is still a difficulty non-indigence of Enugu goes through. I'm sure the article title is not hard to miss. Evidently, There's still a problem that needs to be solved; marginalization. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by aljharem3: 1:32am On Jul 22, 2011 |
bashr4: a beg leave tribal intention and lets face the matter squally all man for himself but ohaneze can beg for post in other states that is not right, if nigerians are trying to integrate people in their states, i believe the SE can do the same to show their intent each time the SE taalk of marginaisation in kano and lagos, nigerians have a sense of pity for their brothers(becos we are brothers) and try to appoint them as much as they can even against the intentions of the locals why can the same be done in the SE idoma does not mean u are integrating, same as lagos used iragiji to goven them and itsekiri as well we are talking about hausa or yoruba here |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Blackteeth(m): 1:32am On Jul 22, 2011 |
I think the best thing to detribalize Nigeria is for all ethnic groups to mix up evenly everywhere. 50% of yorubas, igbos and hausas should move to other regions of Nigeria which is not their homebase. When they live together for years, tribalisim will clear from their eyes. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by bashr4: 1:33am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Ileke-IdI: and what has he done for the indigens, you dont know the south east nobody has time to breast feed or spoon feed anybody , na all man to himself whether your from enugu or not no concern anybody. the same applies to all the states in nigeria. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Chyz2: 1:33am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Ileke-IdI: Well evidently the article doesn't say what the marginalization is. If it is land again., they can keep dreaming. It is not for free in Igboland. If it is government handouts to keep up with the indigenes, its not going to happen. Igbos are naturally competitive so if you cant keep up then thats your own wahala. I dont know who would allow that article to be published. Its seriously half baked. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Chyz2: 1:36am On Jul 22, 2011 |
alj_harem: Has Ogun, Ekiti, Osun, Ondo, Oyo done what you are talking of for the Igbo? |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by bashr4: 1:37am On Jul 22, 2011 |
alj_harem: when did southeasterners cry marginalisation in other states? i know about cases they complained of their markets or properties destroyed by govts which shows they never depended on the govt in the first place, pls i dont know what your intentions are but the hausas and the yorubas i see in enugu go about their buisness without harrasment just as you said in the south east you dont even know who is igbo,efik ,ibibio,ijaw or yoruba. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by aljharem3: 1:39am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Chyz*: they don't have to do it, they have done it in one state and it is upto A SE governor to talk the right thing and do the right thing. Nothing last forever |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by ezeagu(m): 1:41am On Jul 22, 2011 |
There are just some articles that do not deserve attention. Obviously this is one of the articles lesser active journalists create to seem like they're working. End of discussion. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Nobody: 1:41am On Jul 22, 2011 |
Chyz*: Judging from your post, one can easily assume that your thoughts are misguided. It's not about handing free land or any other sorts of handouts. Please read clearly, especially where the article stated that both groups are being denied their national rights of "a sense of belonging" in any state of their choice in Nigeria. Give them those rights so that they can easily expand and prosper. Let me quickly shift from the topic to point out that if Enugu people are declining such alienable rights, then why are the same group crying for FESTAC state in another region which does not "belong" to them? bashr4: Again, read my post to chyz. Seems like you're both misguided. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by aljharem3: 1:42am On Jul 22, 2011 |
bashr4: http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2010/11/05/we%E2%80%99ve-been-marginalised-in-lagos/ excatly, u can nt easly identify a yoruba or ibibio man in the SE does not mean they are not there |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by Chyz2: 1:43am On Jul 22, 2011 |
alj_harem: Case closed then. Enugu has done it before, so go figure. Also, Rochas has also appointed a Yoruba. |
Re: Yoruba, Hausa In Enugu Decry Marginalisation by aljharem3: 1:43am On Jul 22, 2011 |
ezeagu: does not deserve attention since it is not igbos being marginalised. anyhow |
