the igbos are generally self centered , callous and opportunistic.

they think the world revolves around them. they forget say no be only them have ancestral land for Nigeria. the rest of us have ancestral land in Nigeria and we have the right to protect it and our interest.

We Yoruba are honest and loving people.
Let us secede because we can not take it any more.
My great grand father Chief Agho Obaseki was the grand son of the Obi of Nsukwe his father was thus igbo and he was at least half igbo. Yet the Binis let him rise to the highest position in Benin.
I am a bini and I have that igbo ancestry, but I can tell you that this cannibalistic mentality has to stop!
Respect your host.

There is a fundamental difference between Igbos and Yoruba

See the Igbos making fun of poor people making a honest living like the shoemaker and the drummer,

But they would hail to the high heavens those boys who smuggle drugs to Malaysia, those who do 419.

There is a Yoruba song

Kini n o fole se laiye ti mo wa 2ce

Laiye ti mo wa kaka kin jale, Kaka kin jale ma kuku deru

Kini n o fole se laiye ti mo wa

Meaning wetin I was take robbery do, Rather than rob, I would rather be a servant

inufele2:

Anywhere in the world where you see a particular set of people migrating endlessly (more like deserting a sinking ship) like igbo are doing it speak volumes of what the inhabitants of such place is going through, which is POVERTY. No sane man who is self sufficient will migrate to another man's land except for proper good business (not selling of fake aba made products), adventure, studying etc. AYibos will move to every nook and cranies of Nigeria yet they'll not stop whingening about how they are being persecuted, why don't you stay in you biafra abi dem swear for una say na waka waka for your life?

inufele2:

Igbos will rather rob, steal or sell fake items instead of doing a honest day job. Yorubaland will be a better place without kobokobo omo Igbo. Go back to alaigbo and leave us alone silly ingrates, leeches.

pazienza:

You can't eat your cake and have it,we wanted to stay in our biafra,but you and your aboki masters wouldn't let us be,you wanted us in Nigeria,you have us in nigeria.

pazienza:

You lie,every nigerian group has criminals among them,but the truth is that an igbo criminal has more determination than his 'nigerian' colleague and he dreams big,so he tends to be more succesful/notorious than his 'nigerian' colleague. An igbo man always show determination towards whatever he does,be it in the path of nobility or the path of shame.

patriot2:

I think a lot of the igbos here are paranoid, if the Yoruba hated you then why would they let you live in Lagos ?
When did Yoruba ever attack igbos in Lagos. Yorubas let Igbos do business in Lagos with all liberties.
I am from Benin, and even in Benin there are large numbers of igbos, we go to church together, and do business together.
But, now the igbos here are saying that they are wishing harm to the Yorubas!
In this condition how can we keep having you in our region ?
We have been very good to you, yet you wish us harm.
We see you as our brothers, yet you see us as people who you can't wait to see in the grave.
If all igbos were like you then I think, you are just as bad as the hard core muslims.
If you are not our friends then stop coming to Lagos or any other of our towns.
We didn't force you to come our regions.
If you want to secede then all you have to do is stay in your region and don't participate in the economic situation of the nation and don't participate in the politics of the nation other than the politics in igboland.
Even self the way it is nowadays very few yorubas are allowed to stay in igboland (probably less than a million) while you people are everywhere in Lagos.

pazienza:

No,yoruba didn't allow ndiigbo to stay in lagos,they don't have the power to do that,ndiigbo is staying in lagos because lagos is a part of Nigeria,and ndiigbo,thanks to yoruba/hausa-fulani,are nigerians.

Any property an igbo man owns in lagos,he bought with his hard earned money. And no,nobody is stoping yorubas from staying in the east,the fact is that not many yoruba can compete/survive in the east,some igbo you see in yorubaland and north,went there because they the couldn't compete here,they fancy their chances against you guys.

patriot2:

It is funny how igbo will even defend criminals and call them determined people, because to us Yorubas a criminal is a lost soul. When i was young my brother stole a bag of money, my parents beat him so much for that that now he is the most honest person i know. he bag of money was returned with interest. I guess the in the same situation the igbos would have praised their son.

patriot2:

The main problem in your Biafra is that you were claiming oil areas which were not yours, you claimed them only in order to have the oil money for yourself.Are you calling the haoussa our masters ?
An igbo calling a yoruba a slave ? Have you people forgotten your history ?
The black americans are all aware that they are igbos, just go and ask them, history books give good account of how black men came to america. The igbos enslaved the igbos and sold them to white people in such big quantities that the name for slave was shifting to igbo at some point. And i have said it before, if you really want to seccede then you should be coherent and stop coming west. If you manage to stay east then it will only be a matter of time before secession, indeed nobody goes east so if you don't come west or north then it will not even feel like you are a part of Nigeria. So I say stay east, stop flocking to Lagos!

patriot2:

I don't get it, do you people want to secede or not ?

pazienza:

I don't get it,did you guys not fight to keep us in your one nigeria delusion?

patriot2:

If igbo do not want to secede then they should stop shouting secession at every occasion, if you love yorubaland then start showing some respect, I do not think we need an other civil war, but if you disrespect your host too much then the chicken might come home to roost. Phrases like :" Lagos is a no man's land" is so provocative to the yorubas that if said too much or too loud it might cause a civil war and this time it will be for igbo to secede that yoruba will be fighting. If you love Nigeria then just say so, stop vexing everybody who is not igbo.

pazienza:

On the issue of agho obaseki,do you know that the first mayor of enugu was an fulani man,go figure.
Igbo are known to show respect to any community hosting them,when we say that lagos is no man's land,we mean that as long as Nigeria still exists,lagos will always be for all nigerians and not for yorubas alone,because lagos was built with money gotten from nigeria,and not just yorubaland, you don't see any igbo man claiming that Ibadan is a no man's land,do you?

patriot2:

I get your point but in that case shouldn't Enugu and Portharcourt be no man's lands ?

pazienza:

Enugu and portharcourt were never the capital of Nigeria,we can't say the same of lagos.

ceejayluv: The Biafra war was an OIL war, shikena!

alj harem:

Please why not understand what is been said before inflating ur ego by talking about "igbo domination"

what Sultan and akintola were saying is consistent.

Sultan was talking about if you have an igbo executive somewhere, he would employ only Igbos and forget about the indigenes

Akintola was saying that if you have them somewhere they would only employ their kind and leave the indigenes out.

Of course it is about tribalism or nepotism as Aigbofa said

How can a foreign come to ur region and only employ his kind without talking ?

If you call that domination then it is silly.

today can an hausa man employ only his kind without ohaneze shouting on top of the roof ?

it is a bit extreme to go to a region that employed you, and you employ 97 % of your people leaving the indigenes out. That is parasitic to say the very least.

You balance things up becasue I am sure there were better leturals back in the western region as well but were rejected.

BE TRUTHFUL TO YOURSELF FOR ONCE AND STOP THIS hypocricy.

Nchara:

''Are you okay in the brain'' is not an insult. It is a question?

''Far too deep'' after just 6 years? We got our independence in 1960 and by 1966 we are already far too deep? The point is only Awo knew what he wanted. He must have been speaking from both sides of his mouth not wanting one Nigeria, but when it was time to show it, he went for one Nigeria.

alj harem:

No Northerners did not introduces anything. It was when Nnamdi did this polices couple with the top igbos back then who were not helping matters then the slogan was born which was "north for northerners"

The army was filled mainly with Middle-belters and Igbos back then. Very little hausa, yoruba or south-southerners back then

Go check you history. Even Ojuwku admitted to it

Balkan: My fellow Igbos, I have said it this time without number that Igbos in Nigeria are the reason why Nigerian is called the Gaint of Africa. Why do you think ofenmnu people are jealous of the Igbos? The only reason is because we are superior to them.
They can only be jealous. My own take is for us to ignore this dregs of humanity called oilsoup.

Lagos is an annex of Igbo land, if you like call it land grabbing that's your wahala. We will never relent untill they become tenants in Lagos. Let them speed up their bigotry
It does not change the obvious. You only throw sticks to trees that bear fruit and ignore the trees that are fruitless . Why do you think they only attack Igbos in this forum?
The other tribes are not their problem.

I am a proud Igbo man. oilsoup people can only rant and diatribe because it's a gift of nature to them, it does not change the palpable situation. The economic power is in the
Hand of Igbos. Let them keep up with their prejudice and continue to be in state of pique.

Fetid set of lineage called oilsoup. You guys stink! Your genealogical tree need to be examined. When are you to put a stop to this your asperity and acrimony?
I have said it here that your ranting can not take you any where, I know some of you have Igbo friends they can help you out to set up a business that can keep you
busy and make you get a life ok?

Lagos is not a yoruba land. LAGOS does not sound Yoruba. it happened to be in the west.

madam_oringo:

VERY NICE! This at least will multiply 3M ibos X 3, just like it was in 1967! Obviously most of the ibos who saw that war suffered severe head and brain damage that has been transferred to their children genetically. This kind of thinking only helps to mow down losers at the borders of Ore only this time, the boundary will be shifted to the Anambra end of the Niger bridge where there will only be target practice for Nigerian soldiers as they shoot down flat humpty dumpty heads!
