Yoruba Community Alleges Marginalisation In Enugu

If it "dey catch me well" that would mean that your posts are serious, is it not?

What on earth are you talking about? If you're frustrated there are plenty of activities you can do on your own to relieve stress instead of blowing virtual hot air. Talk, talk, talk, when you hear GBOSAI! now you will be out of sight. Is it not a council flat you live in in the UK? How will you conduct a war from there?

Omo Odua rules? You mean the same Omo Odua that does night shift cleaning jobs just like the rest of Nigerians in London? Or is the unofficial language of Peckham not Yoruba again?

Eh, because all Africans in the UK speak Yoruba, I think?

Oh ye wonderful and powerful Odua race, look at the powerful city you have created:


Oh, sorry, wrong photo:




Let me tell you, 'Yoruba people' are not in any better or any worse condition or position than any other nation in Nigeria, these illusions of grandeur are becoming too much and people need to be brought back to earth.

We should concentrate on the great things Yoruba`s and Igbo`s have done to make this world a better place. We are very similar, but yet different. The two Nations have got too much good to offer the world, lets concentrate on that instead of this primitive ethnic bashing. We have a lot of work to do to make the black race respected and treated like equals amongst equals. Calling each other names only proves what the white man says about black Africans not being able to live in peace  and harmony amongst ourselves. Don`t u guys realise how bad it looks when we as black Africans are calling ourselves by the same names the white racist have been calling us 4 centuries.

The Igbo race is special just like the Yoruba`s and all the other great nations that make up Nigeria. That is y anywhere u go in the World we are there representing and leaving a positive mark. I have come across different Nigerians all over the World that make me proud to come from that part of the World. I know because things are so bad in Nigeria we are all looking 4 people to pick on, but lets not lose track, our problem isn`t the Igbo man or the Yoruba man, it`s the so called leaders that steal our wealth and then turn around to divide us like mugguns. The fight should be against them not against our poor suffering brothers. Lets unite brothers and sisters to make our World a better place. When will the black man stop hating his fellow black brother. Lets try and show love and respect to the black race. After this post, we shall see which people find it difficult to love and respect their fellow black brothers regardless of ethnicity, the floor is open.

What are you ppl still talking, fighting about

Lagos is built with oil money from the east, let your head decrease small. Number 2, are the Yoruba a empire building 'race' or a 'accommodating' one, pick one because you people are jumping from one to the other when it suits a thread, when was the last time you heard a Yoruba was killed in the East? During the Biafran war it was documented that some Igbo people were killed in Lagos and other areas of the west. You're not any more special than any other ethnicity and your people are not as rich or as privileged as any other, don't let me pull out pictures.

1.Accomodating one!
2."You people" are privileged people. - get that into your head
3. So during the Civil war, there was no Yoruba casuality?
4. Money from the east?  What an ignorant and uneducated opinion.

by claiming to be more tolerant than another ethnic group is disrespectfull and that isn`t the spirit we need to bridge the gap.
@Okunoba
Wake up! That is the problem with nigerians. Never willing to speak out.
It may look disrespectful, but it is the truth and must be told.


A black man claiming superiority over his black brother, is that how to show love and respect to your black brothers. Do unto others as u would like done to u. Respect is a two way street.
When another tribe is trying to undermine and scoff at your people, what do u do? play dumb?
That is disrespectful to whom you are. That is what the Yorubas call "OMO ALE"
OH YEAH - Respect is a 2 way street and vice versa.

Some are tolerant some are not, regardless of ethnicity, it`s an individual thing.
Partly true! but some tribes are more tolerant that others. Example - The british are more tolerant towards Africans than the Germans and the Italians - FACT

Many Nigerians including Yoruba`s complain and show no appreciation to the English even though they have been living in England  4 over 10/15 yrs. It`s not an Igbo or Yoruba thing it`s an individual thing. Until the ethnicity of a man is of no more significant than the color of his eyes, there will be no peace.
I agree and it ain't right.



 
 

behold the grand commander of the thiefing clan! 

Which resources are you talking about? It is a well known fact that SME's (Small and Medium Scale enterprises) are the major providers of employment opportunities and last time I checked, Igbos own a large chunk of the SME's in Lagos. This means that the Igbos are major employers of labour in Lagos. This is without the fact that this individuals and the businesses they own pay their tax to the Lagos government and also contribute to the development of Lagos state via various CSR projects (eg CHISCO). Who do u think will loose if these Igbo entrepreneurs decide to take their businesses elsewhere? Why do you think the governor of Ogun state, Gbenga Daniels has been wooing this Igbo entrepreneurs with various incentives such as large expanse of land for development. Go to Ota industrial estate and see what these Igbos are doing there. At least, an uncle of mine has one of the largest factories there ( a food drink processing factory) employing over a hundred staff with a large chunk of them being yorubas.

Go get yourself some education and stop being the area boy you have always been.

Where did the money come from, I think Sjeezy's ancestors brought the money from Brazil.

@Opcman, sjeezy8, Yommyuk:

What a shameless crowd. You guys are sure sounding more stupid by the day.Which resources is being shared to other nigerians by Lagos state? Is it the monthly  federal allocations derived from crude oil in the Niger-Delta that is being given to Lagos and every Yoruba  state that you are calling Yoruba resources?

I can see that you guys need help from a psychiatric doctor. For your information all Yoruba states depend on federal allocations derived from crude oil to survive. If you take away those allocations, there is no Yoruba state that can survive.

Those lodmouths who are making mouth as if Lagos pays anybody social welfare payments should know that if all nigerians of other ethnic groups pull out their businesses  from lagos and if the federal allocation from the oil in the Niger-Delta ceases Lagos will be grounded just like other Yoruba states that parasite on niger-delta crude oil money for their survival.

If anything the Yorubas should be grateful to the niger-delta for sustaining them all these years.

As for those making mouth about being accomodating, all i can do is laugh at such stupidity. There is no accomodating group anywhere. People simply move or migrate and sort themselves out where ever they go. I have never heard of Lagos state government paying people social welfare payments or providing housing to anyone, if anything, Lagos is the toughest jungle to survive in nigeria. Those who arrive in Lagos find a tough and challenging environment where they have to individually struggle to survive.

For Yommyyuk, sjeezy8, Opcman and others who fled to London, did the British invite them? Does the British not put people in jail for being in their country illegally? In practically every other advanced nation, immigrants are arrested and deported.  Arresting and deporting immigrants certainly does not equate to being accomodating, yet people are still taking mortal risks to migrate to these countries everyday. In Britain extreme right political parties like Nick Griffin's BNP are openly opposed and hostile to immigrants and have promised to throw out all immigrants  if they win the elections. Such extreme right parties opposed to the presence of immigrants exist in every European country. But people still risk their life to get to these countries. This proves that there is no accomodating group anywhere. Those who migrate do so at their own risk and have to find a way to survive.

By the way, if Lagos is so accomodating, why did yommyyuk and OPCMAN leave their accomodating Lagos to migrate to hostile, unwelcome and unaccomodating  Britain where they risk being put in prison and deported?

Does it make any sense?


The stupidity of the being more accomodating than others nonsense is even more stupid when you consider that the so called buffoon yommyyuk is describing the North where non northerners and non muslims are frequently attacked and killed as being accomodating. Will wonders ever end in nigeria?

You hypocrites should stop boring us with your load of trash.

This is not even a discrimination thing let all the people leave lagos as they did before during the war, their properties would be sold as usual. So it really makes no difference majority of people in Lagos dont pay taxes, so what do these people actual contribute to lagos? Its not any secret that all these scanty scanty shop keepers, dont pay taxes and sell illegal goods which are also non taxed. Lagos was once a specific place for the Elite, Most of whom were Yorubas because of location, middle class and other minor tribes. I wouldnt complain if it went back to that. Eko atlantic is privately funded to be like dubai and dubais population is NO WHERE NEAR LAGOS'. Igbos are OK nothing special. Without all these states, the West is still yorubaland so is Lagos, unless you want to cut it and carry it with you to the EAST.

All igbos arent the same I must admit. Just like I am here in Yankee for Uni, not making noise they should do the same while in the West.
These yorubas in enugu should keep quiet but since it happens in West to other tribes, i cant blame them.

Here it is for you to understand the ruler of Lagos was expelled in 1851, ten years later Lagos became a British colony, that is why the Province now known as Lagos state was called colony it was part of Great Britain.
