Igbo,ss And Them All In Nigeria by tonychristopher: 6:57am On Jun 21, 2015 |
This is not an ethnic attack on any tribe but a moment of reflection ...this write up is coming not as a result of any phobia but due to uneasy tension in Nigeria and this is unacceptable...this was the state Europe was centuries ago so we should out grow this I notice that anambra state used the term home for all and they are okay to do that and they will invite strangers to come do business there just like Dubai but when it comes to the issue of Lagos which was Nigerian former capital built by the collective sweat of all Nigerian especially niger delta oil..some group of people are claiming they built Lagos . it baffles any logically thinking mind how they built it..its like gwari will come out tomorrow to say that they built Abuja ...yet we know that oil money from south south built Abuja not the back burden carrying tribes (with respect to their culture ) built Abuja Coming to frosty and nasty tension or relations between igbo and Yoruba in Lagos ...I experienced where a Yoruba man was telling an ibibio man to go back to his village I personally asked the man where are you from he said his father is from ekiti... Then I told him he is not a lagosian also. I think xenophobia is high and mind you igbo still have 101% right in Lagos so is the Hausa ijaw or edo man... If you look at this The people in Lagos had a head start They were the first that interacted with the European first They had access to education first by the virtue of their location They had the space when igbo were fighting war of Biafra for three solid years So they should have capitalized on this They had most of the firm during the infamous indigenization decree of 70s which favoured the west becuase igbos then were having post traumatic stress from war and broke with just £20 left for them They also had the space when they scared and chased the Ghana people away ... They have produced president two times But igbo never had these opportunities yet they are making a mark with their niger delta counterparts . what I am finding it difficult to understand why the hate Personally I think this is inability to compete ...in today's global economy nobody runs a welfarist system and igbo are competitive in nature and I think other tribes such as Yoruba should be competitive . ijebu to my own understanding is . it will be nice if we can live together as a country and not treating one another as a virus As you read this ask yourself why the hate, ask yourself why the lagoon talk ask yourself why was Dr. Ariyo honored ask yourself why is Daniel Kanu venting anger and firing all cylinders To me it boils down to one thing..Blackman propensity to violence and pull him down syndrome Let us not be jealous of people success let us understudy and compete with them. Yoruba should learn how to accept others the way they are and not expecting others to act like them and igbo with their south south cousins should learn how to let go and not offend the sensibilities of others with their culture ..Yoruba are cultural and averse to changes so they should learn that also and don't use civil war to judge others .I have seen good people from yoruba ijaw edo etc so its pointless to hate We should compete and think our of box instead of making ourselves a laughing stock globally That was what china did to USA Have a blessed day 4 Likes 1 Share |

My brother, there's nothing like one Nigeria. That's what GEJ counted on thereby siting all his projects in The North to the detriment of his brothers down South. Had it been he damned the consequences, gave us 2nd Niger bridge, gave us Ibaka deep sea port . All our people would have come back home, the Yoruba people knows this, that's why they made sure Ibaka is not born! How about the refinery in Kaduna? Are there refining ground nut? Ok shebi na nuclear plant na Akwa Ibom surepass. Until all this nonsense stops, then we can truly say one Nigeria 6 Likes 2 Shares |

OP, its a pity your post smacks of falsehood and lies. As regards accomodation you cannot compare Lagos and Anambra. You said Anambra is home to all, how come i was attacked at Onitsha bridge head a few years ago, just becos i am ndi Yoruba? How many non Igbos are in that your home for all compared to Lagos? You did not see anything wrong with Achebe's rants about Yorubas in his books? Arthur Eze's insults? Nnamdi Kalu's incessant incitement for all Yorubas to be killed? Asking Ibos to boycott all Yoruba churches etc. But you keep talking about the Oba and Ariyo. So how many Ibos have been attacked in Lagos or any where in the south west since then? Your assertion that Lagos is built with Oil money is terribly false, as at 1979 when Lagos was already a big city oil was contributing less than 30% of total government revenue, even now Laglos generates more than 70% of government's non oil revenue. Lagos generates far more revenue to government than it receives, so how can you say Lagos was developed by oil money? Lagos has ceased to be a federal capital since 1991, how come you people have not gone to Abuja en masse to claim the place as no mans land? 10 Likes 2 Shares |

tonychristopher:calling anambra home for all doesn't make anambra home to the hausas and yorubas you hate so much. If anambra was lagos, we would all have been pushed out by you guys. If you know what lagos looked like when it was capital compared to its recent look, you won't claim oil money developed it. The whole lagos rottened but fashola restored it. Are you trying to tell me all the projects built by fashola are due to niger delta resources? Do you know what lagos rakes as IGR? don't forget that cocoa and groundnut money also built nigeria tonychristopher: stop being silly. Who are you to tell a yoruba man which village to claim? We are all nigerians but there are boundaries. He can't go and claim home in another region but can do so in yoruba land so long he's yoruba. @bold. What silly right other than to live and trade? Can you be in governance and say much? Can you control the land? No, cos such can't be tolerated of a stranger in anambra, the so-called home for all. tonychristopher:wrong! They were the first and indigenous people of lagos and are yorubas. Don't distort history tonychristopher:and so what? tonychristopher:so you mean the igbos would have also had lagos if not for the war? So yorubas were never the owners of the land before the war? Na wah for omo ibo o. tonychristopher:were you expecting the decree to favour you in another man's land? tonychristopher:so ghana now has right to lagos? Na wah o tonychristopher:no one hates you. Stop trying to steal land belonging to others. tonychristopher:you call land grabbing and insult others competition? tonychristopher:dr ariyo was honoured cos he voiced out against landgrabbers. Nnamdi kanu. Is venting anger cos he's an oil thief To me it boils down to one thing..Blackman propensity to violence and pull him down syndrome [/quote]nobody is pulling you down. They are simply preventing you from stealing their ancestral wealth. Had It been they. Are doing sucj to you in your land, fine. tonychristopher:@bold. So you mean we are jealous of the landgrabbers?
