The different is visible in the context of both.

The Oba made the comment in a meeting in his Palace, the Oba was provoked, angry and reacted wrongly. Most of the Yorubas condemned him.

But this one was unsolicited, unprovoked... He just said what's in his mind bluntly. And instead of condemning it, you people, in your typical manner thought it best to fan the amber of hated and intolerance.

And if you keep claiming you too acted disdainfuly just cos someone else did. Then you're worst of the former

I do understand that many of you Yoruba bigots speak shamelessly from both sides of the mouth. It's really pathetic how overgrown lazy bones who cannot do without envying those they claim to be better than.

To help your hypocrisy a bit read the message SLS has for your most tribalistic tribe:

"YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA"?
http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude...

I don't object you leaving this country at all. But your wish should not override that of honest, hard working, descent Nigerian Igbo's who believe in our country and reject you IPOB project.

If you're honest and sincere you'd support the clamour for a simple referendum and self-determination by IPOB.

If you aren't a hypocrite you'd condemn your Yoruba tribesmen shamelessly making a living out of Igbos quest for nationhood.

Please, kindly mention one policy that's inimical to the SE that's not inimical to other parts of Nigeria.
You ppl are just too arrogant, if the Igbo race were to be white your racism will be the worst.
You all go around thinking and feeling you contribute to Nigeria more than any other ethnic.
Indead condemning a statement aimed at eliciting hatred and intolerance you wanna buttress it.

In Lagos under 'One Nigeria' there exists a silent economic war of destruction of livelihoods burning of markets in the middle of the night, extortion and harassment of genuine businesses by official area boys and street urchins, illegal/multiple taxing of business owners, in markets where Igbos operate e.g. Tejuoso, Alaba International and Ladipo. And now Oshodi electrical & electronic market.

Many of these attracious deeds are conducted at odd times when the traders won't be available to resist the dastardly acts.

Over the decades in the South-West, the Yorubas have systematically burnt Igbo shops as a guise to hijacking the markets from Igbos.

Yorubas hide under the guise of city development at the expense of the people's welfare and claim they had given the traders ample time to relocate and yet the demolition is carried out at odd times.

Shops are demolished without compensation and someone will still say the traders were given sufficient notice of vacation as if the alternative is affordable. The proposed alternative shops are oftentimes so exorbitant and out of reach by the common man.

Igbos are made to develop barren locations and thereafter chased away to an undeveloped area or a complex beyond the reach by the common man.
Many a time the destruction of shops are selectively done exempting where Yorubas sell agbo, weed and fake medicine just like in Oshodi where Electronic shops belonging to Igbos were demolished.

It takes a callous and wicked government to destroy livelihoods just to justify beautification of a city at the expense of people's economic empowerment.

Prior to the 2015 general elections, amidst the threat by the lagoon crooner to drown Igbos, 18 Chisco transport buses were criminally burnt down in Lagos and up till date nothing was done to bring the culprits to book.

What does 'One Nigeria' mean?
A deceit where you are empowered to share my crude oil and wealth as 'One Nigeria' while I am considered a migrant to your State whom you're just merely accommodating and may perish in the lagoon at your command.

It is a chaotic situation where the Oba of a place would invite the representative of a people for discussion in his palace as regards a market leadership dispute only to set an ambush for him and unleash hundreds of thugs to flog and disgrace him.

It is an unjust situation where you're licensed to use foul means to destroy my business in your State with outrageous taxes. You can close my business premises at will while your elites continue to shout 'One Nigeria' to cover up the evils and injustices prevalent in the land. And you still expect me to be docile and continue to suffer silently as your hate and envy for my progress soar high.

ayindejimmy:
I think this Nebo dude started it.

His comments are inflammatory. A parochial mind will certainly react to it with indignation

Can you dare compare what Nebo stated with the xenophobic statement by your Oba Akiolu of Lagos who promised to drown Igbos in Lagos lagoon if they fail to vote in his annointed gubernatorial candidate?

me69:
Look, Igbo's have have to forgot all that nonsense about being superior to others and people envying them. That couldn't more far from the truth. Nobody is jealous of Igbo's.FACT!!!! When I hear all that I sometimes feel like if these people were White, they will be more racist than the White racist people or the Zionist Jews. Sad that we have people like this is our country.
.

But you and your cotravellers can go about killing Igbos and destroying their business premises. As if that's not enough you lots support and hail the deployment of murderous soldiers harrassing, molesting, maiming, kidnapping and annihilating Igbos for choosing to seek self-determination.

Where is his picture? He is nobody.

Fables like talenobody.chinua achebe n This girl Adichie.

Instead of poke-nosing unnecessarily into Igbo affairs, do your unstable tribe some honours by explaining to your readership how your progenitor, Oduduwa, fell headlong from the skies.

wirinet:
When you people include non - Igbos in your fabled Biafra, do you explain that it is soley your ideas. If Asari Dokubo says he supports Biafra, you IPOB youths do not see it as a personal opinion but the opinion of all Ijaws and indeed the views of the whole SS. If just one calabar man joins IPOB inspired protest, you say the whole of the SS support IPOB. But if Orji Kalu says he does not support Biafra, you guys says he can only speak for himself, if Obi of Onitsha says he does not support Biafra, you people will say he does not represent his people and only speaking for himself. To IPOB, only them can speak for the entire Igbo tribe and the whole SS inclusive, no other Igbo can speak for the Igbo people.

Mr Itsekiri, I really feel your eternal pains and miseries as you continue to wail and gnash your dirty teeth on NL at the mere thought of NK, IPOB or Biaf...

I quite understand that the earnest desires of you and your hopeless generation is to have the Great Igbo Nation to continue to subsidise your vassalage, cluelessness and obliviousness in this expired entity. Take heart.

It has been sounded loud and clear for even the deaf and dumb to understand that Igbos don't need you and all you ever stand for in life and hereafter.

Face OduaArewanistan republic or MOSUNDI where you're needed.

Will you shut up, why anything anti Biafra is not Igbo, you see why most of us detaste your stupid Biafra. Call me Hausa or Afonja.

"When I went to visit the great and brilliant freedom fighter, Nnamdi Kanu, who is the leader of IPOB and easily the most courageous, powerful and credible Igbo leader in Nigeria today in his cell we had a very instructive and long discussion.

I had never met Nnamdi before and I was amazed at his depth of knowledge, his immense courage and his deep convictions.

There is no doubt in my mind that that man is going places and in him the Igbo have an Ojukwu and a Nnamdi Azikiwe all rolled into one. He is destined for greatness.

My Boko Haram friends accompanied me to that meeting, drew a ten man security cordon around me when we entered the general population of the prison and waited outside as Nnamdi and I spoke for almost three hours."
