the Sarkin Hausawa and Sarkin Fulani are loya to their host ..... But, you, yeebhoes. Hell NO .... Is it a must sef ? For your people to compulsarily hold a chieftancy title in yorubaland , do you people welcome such in your land/Biafra ?

Which one does the Fulani herdsmen belong to? Are they Igbos too?

Keep turning the truth on its head.

nochildsplay:
The earlier the better for your brothers cos, it's obvious now that we are asking you people to leave and go and actualise your biafra and you have refused to leave. FYI. Is yeebhoes destiny tired to Yoruba land especially Lagos? the last time I checked there's no yoruba man in a chieftancy position in the East.

Total Rubbish.
I for example have stayed in that dirty place called Lagos in fact the dirtiest city in the world competing with the likes of war torn Kabul and Tripoli, for just 48hrs when in 2006 I went to Gabon Embassy to ask for Visa to Gabon, ever since I have been going to Gabon embassy in Cameroon, just to avoid getting infected by that Lagos
disease. I have a lot of friends who say they will never put leg in the dirty place, Onitsha granted is not clean like New York but it cleaner than Lagos ho ha. Lagos is home to looser.

mulattoclaro:
Good move. Please start sending these parasites back to their cursed region. They're unwanted guests. They're hausas, edos and other tribes living in yorubaland but they've never constituted a nuisance or disrespect their host communities like useless erosion ravaged fellows. Let them go back to their cursed and erosion ravaged region.

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

Emerging trend of social almajiri in Yorubaland
By Hakeem Jamiu

[b]There is a social malaise which is gradually creeping into the lexicon of Yorubaland and this is the ugly spectre of hungry children begging for food and alms at social events. Older women are equally not left out in this ugly but strange practice in Yorubaland. It is strange in Yorubaland because the concept of almajiri which simply means street urchin is common in the Northern part of the country. Yorubas use to refer derisively to anybody soliciting for arms in Yorubaland in the olden days as almajiri. The almajiri of the North are usually children between the age bracket of 7 and 20 in most cases. Almajiris are so desperate for food that any unsuspecting visitor to the Northern part of the country who goes to a restaurant to eat but mistakenly left his food to wash his hands is likely to lose such to waiting almajiris before he comes back for the food.

I first noticed this ugly trend at a ceremony I attended a few months ago at Ayetoro Ekiti. Elderly and middle aged able bodied women from Kwara, Osun and Oyo states invaded the burial ceremony uninvited and were embarrassing guests who refused to give them money. Also noticeable were children with their begging bowls who thronged the venue of the ceremony soliciting for left over food and alms. The children were a pitiable sight. Poverty was clearly written on their faces. I have attended many social functions after that and the same trend was noticeable. But I became worried a few days ago, when I attended the burial ceremony of a friend's father in Ilesha , Osun State . They came in various groups and employ different methods in soliciting for alms. There were the elderly women who were busy harassing guests in the name of praise singing and would not leave until you part with money, there were the men with their public address system which they use in praise singing but which is disturbance and yet, there were Yoruba children in the mould of almajiris with their begging bowls scrambling for left-over and at the same time soliciting for alms.

Fellow guests on my table at the event who were also journalists expressed their concern in unison about the growing trend of almajiri of various categories in Yorubaland. They all agreed that it has become a social problem. We started discussing and realised that the culture of begging in the mould of almajiris is alien to Yoruba culture. In those days before the advent of the British, the Yorubas are a proud people known for their hard work and industry. They practiced hoe agriculture and were well known as traders and for their crafts. Yoruba artists have produced masterpieces of woodcarving and bronze casting, some of which date from as early as the 13th century. Many of Nigeria 's best-known artists and writers are Yoruba. Other occupation of the Yorubas at that time were drumming and masquerading which would now be called showbiz. They engage in all the foregoing occupation but a Yoruba man or woman (able bodied) would not beg for alms as it is considered shameful and something akin to a curse. The Yorubas cherish their oriki (folklore) which is a poetic version of eulogizing the exploits of their progenitors which is an incentive for them to excel and even surpass their progenitors. The Yorubas have harsh words for lazy people. Such people are objects of ridicule and butt of jokes in the society. With this background, it is understandable why we became worried with the array of beggars at the Ilesha ceremony.

After leaving the party, I reflected on the scenario of the almajiris in Ilesha and I was able to draw a relationship between Political almajiris and social almajiris. I discovered that social almajiri had its root in the advent of the politics of do -or-die introduced into the political lexicon of Yorubaland by apostles of mainstream politics especially ex-President Obasanjo. The grand Patron of political almajiris who recently passed away was Chief Lamidi Adedibu. Many have argued that his death has led to the proliferation of almajiris in Yorubaland. This is because those he hitherto dole handouts to must look for other means of survival since he is no more. These political almajiris are ready to exchange their mothers for few coins. A new political class of men without integrity and anything goes was created and they became political almajiris who survive on crumbs from their masters. They would rig, kill, maim and do all sort of things to acquire political power. With the ascension of these men in power, good governance became a thing of the past. Our collective patrimony was squandered by these political almajiris. Nigeria has never been so blessed with petro dollar with oil selling for $156 dollars per barrel but Nigeria has never been so poor with a chunk of the population living below poverty line. So versions of the political almajiris are the social almajiris that now invade ceremonies in Yorubaland. With these children begging for alms, a ready made market for thuggery and other social vices is assured. The activities of the beggars are not limited to parties. At bus stops in our cities, it is a common sight to see women most of who are still in their mid thirties, who would strap a baby at their backs and approach men with stories of despair to solicit for alms. Many of them would end up in bed with such men. This is another brand of alamajiri and these are Yoruba women. A violent version of almajiri but which is gradually being tackled in Lagos is the 'Area Boys' syndrome. These are Yoruba street urchins who are semi- armed robbers.

The underlying factor in this new trend is failure of the Nigerian State on one part and the laziness on the part of these women. Most of them don't want to work, In those days, when everybody's occupation was farming you dare not beg. You must find something to do. But these days, our women and children are too lazy. It is either they steal or beg. In most cases a mother and child become almajiris at social events. So the question now is can a Yoruba man now refer derisively to a Hausa beggar as almajiri when we have many of them now in Yorubaland? The answer is no! This trend must be arrested before it goes out of hand. The almajiris in the North these days engage in novel forms of drug abuse like sniffing of gutter water to get intoxicated, sniffing of adhesives and other drugs so that they are ever ready to unleash terror on the rest of the society whenever they are called upon to do so by the political wing of almajiris. I strongly recommend that guests at public functions must stop encouraging almajiris by giving them money.

But can government which itself owns the political wing of almajiris arrest this trend? Time will tell.[/b]

While we fight and talk over nonsense, the white and yellow man tighten their control on our economy. Focus on growth not bickering. Foolish ni55ers.

This is a wake up call for we Igbos to think home and support the actualisation of Biafra. Imagine this man calling Igbos "immigrants" in the so called One Nigeria?

are you people not immigrants from biafra?are you Nigerians?

sunnyb0b0:
How about the Sarkin Hausawa and Sarkin Fulani?

Sarki is not equivalent of Emir, which is analogous to Oba or Eze. Sarki is a flexible term that can simply mean chief, or leader.

TGLINKS:
Immigrants ! Immigrants !! Immigrants !!!

Did former Gov. of Lagos state belong to this group? Cause I can correlate some of his hate actions to these hate speeches.

who is this one ? ..... Lagos is home to looser and they won't stop migrating from East to Lagos , you must be an underage bornfool

Rayhut:
Freedom of association is allowed in Nigerian constitution, Igbos are free to have Eze Ndi Igbo in their state of abode, if they have a community of Igbos that come together and decide that a particular person will be their leader, there is nothing wrong in it, but the said Ezeh should not interfere in the affairs of the king of the native of that town or parade himself as King because it is just an appointed post by his people and not a real king. About recognition, the governor and Obas should not recognize them as king, they should recognize them as a representer of his own people. Group of people speaking the same language and living outside their domain suppose to have a leader to protect their interest, that is why they have Sarakin Fulani, Hausa in Lagos.

At last I see one reasonable igbo

wirinet:
Can someone explain to me exactly what eze ndigbo means and what his functions are. Is he akin to a king?, because according to this Akure saga, he wore a crown (some say it is a cap) and royal regalia to see the Deji, he is also said to have come with some chiefs. Is he a market leader? because the bone of contention was who is to be appointed or elected market leader.

If the the Eze Ndigbo is not well defined, the Igbos will always have issues wherever the migrate. Imagine an Eze Ndigbo of London wearing a crown or cap in front of the Queen of England claiming to the the king of Igbos in London.

The fooool calling himself "Eze" said himself that it was a crown!

go back to ur place if you don't know how to respect other people's kings... what u can not take in iboland is what you do here... Yorubas are the most accommodating tribe in Nigeria but it seems you guys don't know ur boundaries again, soon now you'll call Akure, Abeokuta, etc no man's lands.....



bloody lagoonians

sunnyb0b0:

Brazil and Cuba nko? Throughout Latin America and Carribean and all other places the yorubas have been, not excluding Northern and Eastern Nigeria ther is, and has always been an OBA YORUBA. Does that also connote territorial ambition?
Nigerians are unanimous in hatred of Igbos and the Igbo should welcome it. Long live Nigeris.

Firefire:
I don't support this call outrightly but...

“It is globally accepted that there cannot be two kings in the same domain as there cannot be two captains in the same boat.”


However, this calls is against the spirit of National Unity and Oneness, BUT our Igbo brothers and sisters should tread softly and let understand our limitation when on foreign land until the law is amended.

Agba ki wa lo ja, ki ori omo tuntun wo oooo.

I am proudly Nigerian and not advocating for any tribe / race.

All the cretins that have the audacity to call themselves "Eze" in any Kingdom that is not theirs should be thoroughly flogged before being thrown out.

I am in support of the speech made by afenifere group.

One needs to respect other people's culture and tradition. The yorubas in the east have never for once crown their head of community as a king to go head to head with obi.

If we are speaking of one Nigeria, every tribe should respect the boundary of others and that is where unity starts. The hausas, ibibios, efiks, urhobos, etc are in yorubaland and I have never heard that they disrespect the obas in yorubaland.

This is a wake up call for the igbos to show respect when found in another man's land.

They can't try this in the north maybe because they feel yoruba people are too soft.

SirJeffry:
I never heard that any Eze ndi Igbo challenged an Oba or other yoruba kings in yorubaland so why the hate?

Seems u re still sleeping. The Eze ndi igbo went to the Deji of Akure's palace with a crown on. This is he highest level of disrespect to any King in Yorubaland. Even when a real King is coming from another Yorubaland he would pull his crown talkless of an unrecognized Eze ndi igbo.

You don't break the law of other people's land and claim ignorance or expect them to pat u on the back.

If it were to be Igbo land, they would be asking for sacrifice to the gods. 100 tubas of yam, 50 goats and so on..

lygn19:
Thank God... am happy with the development, yorubas shud also start treating igbos with hostility.
They are set of people who learn by hard experience, back then when we were in school, we and d ppl in our clique asked each other where we would base of all of them I was the only one that choose igbo land, they thought they were wise, I pray dz continues so much that for any igbo man to buy even half plot of land outside igbo land would be war.
why to the yorubas that sent for a man who respected and honoured there Obas call and went to see him, if in yoruba land another king cant come into there palace with a crown, all they wud do before they usher him into the palace is tell him to remove it, they allowed him in planned youths to lurk around with canes because they knew what they wanted to do and looked for the flimsiest excuse or mis yarn to insult him and belittle him. I am happy this is happening because I keep count in it ti score my points. But yorubas we igbos wud be merciful when ur time comes I promise u, that mantle u hold thats making u insult others would be taken away from u one day.

are u sure u are a graduate
