Lagos is a Nigerian land that is owned by everybody! Both the FG and many tribes joint hand in building Lagos, so Nobody should claim it.
Lets stop all this hate and embrace Love.

But is reporting the Oba to the ICC the way to go about peaceful co-existence?
The Oba talked Immaturely, but Igbos were even more immature in their response.
This action will only flame the embers of an already controversial issue.

The ICC can't and will do nothing to the Oba of Lagos, but the situation would have gotten worse.
Which way?

scholes0:



Ehhhya Sorry.... Maybe 2017, Igbos can have 2 seats out of 40, if the Yoruba natives of those constituencies agree..... But you must show full remorse.
Because at the rate things are going, I doubt Yorubas will let you even win 1 seat by then. God spare our lives.

So the ones they won in the last elections are not seats? Smh!

This petition now serves as a check on the oba and his Yoruba brethren. As it stands now, no violence has been carried out against Ndigbo post Oba's comment. Now, should any Yoruba group attack the Igbos for reasons of the tension that has built up or any other reason for that matter, we can always link it to the Oba's threat and then take it from there. As it stands now, Oba himself will do anything within hos powers to see that the Igbos are not attacked else he ends up being a room mate to Charles Taylor.

During the Jewish struggle for a State of its own, only a tiny %age of the world population liked the Jews. Then, the Jews were scattered all over the world and were persecuted.
I am not asking you to accept the Igbo situation to be similar to those of the Jews, but one thing is clear: God has a way of doing His deeds. If your lot can drop greed and let the Igbo be or leave..

Today, not only that the most powerful countries of the world like or love the Jews, the only 6 million Jewish population can demolish nearly 400 million of its surrounding enemies just with the push of a button.

Yeah?? What did the Oba do?
He didn't even mention Igbos in his entire speech, mind you.
He spoke metaphorically (but everyone knew he was referring to Igbos) about the situation. So what did he do exactly, because all I know about is just his speech.

Also, If only you can read global Geo-politics, you will know Nigeria as it exists today, is going no where.
The most that can happen is Fiscal federalism of the country's constituent parts.... ala 1963

Have you not said things and you instantly regret it? And you hide your head in shame privately?

This is an OBA Who used poor words, but could not for the sake of the Office he holds, make a formal public apology.

But of course his foot soldiers, left and right were apologizing on his behalf, this included top politicians, common sense will tell you he sent them to apologize.

What kind of remorse did you want him to show? Take a full advertorial on a National Newspaper to beg?

You guys should let a sleeping dog enjoys it's nap, after eating biscuit bone.

Your statement could only have made sense had the oba apologized but as it is, he hasn't and doesn't think he's done anything wrong and here you are asking people to forgive and move on when forgiveness has not been asked.

sunnyb0b0:

I only see this as further incitement, nothing more. Infact it is doing the exact opposite of what a "check" is supposed to do.
If Yorubas are going to undermine ndigbo in Lagos, I believe it will be more covert and not out in everyone's faces. You should know them more than that.

sunnyb0b0:

Okay 1/40 seats for you = no man's land
even the minorities in the UK parliament have far more than that, and no one is shouting "no man's land"
I just pity you lot, with this attritious attitudes of yours. ... you guys have this special ability to cause friction between yourselves, and others around you... and for what exactly? silly reasons.

Oga ,point of correction ,no one is against the probe nor bubu's so called fight against corruption.
All we want is for the probe to be sincere n not a witch hunt.if bubu is sincere he shud extend the probe to 1999 cos that period was the height n zenith of corruption in Nigeria.

You lie bro... everyone knew that the highest corruption index ever known to man on planet earth was carried out under the otuoke man's regime

Well, I commend you for the honesty! I'm personally appalled at the level of hate, tribalism and bigotry in this Nairaland! If it's a reflection of the general society, then we are really in trouble!! All over the world, racial and ethnic sentiments exist, but the norm is to be politically correct!

You see, you shouldn't be angry if people equate your pro-ApC sentiments to mean anti-Igbo sentiments! Unfortunately, most of the Igbo-bashers are pro-APC! I'm not saying it's justified, but generally when I understand the currents behind an issue, I try to rationalise it! For instance, I understand the sentiments that make some Yorubas and Hausas despise Ijaws..Even though it's largely borne out of hasty generalisation, I can appreciate the pathos! As an Ijaw man, I know GEJ wasn't the best president Nigeria has had, but he wasn't the worst! For me, his major failure was that he wasn't firm enough and wasn't shrewd! As a young man, I have learnt that to lead, you have to know how to play hardball! And you can't be associated with loose cannons etc...

Please be stoic and maintain your usual objectivity! Somehow, we can gradually sway more people to politically correctness! Like you, I'm sometimes tempted to show by dislike of the overbearing attitude of certain ethnicities, or rise in defence of mine...but I'm also learning to quell the urge! The luxury I have is that, unlike you, I don't have the visibility you have on Nairaland...and my opinion wouldn't influence many. Someone called you a Nairaland elite...That's a quaint way of putting the reality! Best of luck...

Thanks for your comments, and best of luck to you too.

The Igbos have a new boyfriend and his name is ICC

you must be a mad man with dreadlocks 4 typing this pooo

are Jew girls prostitutes?
are Jew kidnappers?
are Jews into fake products?
are Jews into fake news?
are Jews into gullible things?
are Jews Cowards?
are Jews Chest beaters?
are Jewish population 60% drug dealers?
are Jewish people claiming people's land is no man's land?
are Jewish women highly promiscuous?
are Jewish women into baby factories?
are Jews hated in Africa and d entire Asia?

for your information, people actually love the Jewish people, think about the percentage of people in the world worshiping their Christianity religion.
Think about the Muslim Jewish people living in peace with the other Jewish Christians.

think about the good relationship the Jewish people has made with many countries of the world including Nigeria.
Think about the tourist /destination/attractions of Israel.

No Christians and Muslim hated the jews cause it is In their Bible and Koran.
Think about the good name the Jewish people made for their nation.

think about the Jewish lands that has been taking away from the jews but they still try to embrace their enemies.

so brother what is your point? are you jewish or Hebrew?

You are just funny, it could be the French, German or Dutch lawmaker house....
What difference does it make exactly? Is analogy a foreign concept to you?

I commend the effort Mr. Onoh is making to hold the irresponsible Oba of Lagos to account for his inciting statement. An Oba should be trying to bring people to live together in peace and not be seen to be doing the opposite.
Whether this leads to prosecution or not, I hope that it gets Nigerians to moderate their views and be civil in their public utterances. Having lived in the U.S. where people are extremely cautious about what they say in public (because of the legal and social repercussions), I am shocked about how Nigerians carelessly throw around hate statements.
Our governments, especially the federal, need to outlaw some hate statements and need to start prosecuting and sending offenders to jail.

On Nairaland, they seem to...
