Don't cry when I start posting pictures of the largest slum I've seen in my life. Moreover, no city in the east is as filthy as Ibadan.

eggheaders:


funny dude.please a link to that will be appreciated and the name of this non igbos in their cabinet.

ACM10:

You are a pathological liar. Go away.

Sunny_bobo:

Ok Salam, I can arrange a plot of land for MCAN in Nkpor for 4 million naira only close to Tarzan. If you are serious.

ODUA_NEGRO:


We just brought you two instances of discrimatory practices against non-igbos wanting to acquire land in igbo land. you call both lies. meanwhile Enugu government is not a liar when they admitted that something was not right and they will correct it?

Sunny_bobo:

The problem with the Yorubas is that they want free land. You can't get it bro. We pay heavily for land in Lagos for anything ranging from land for churches, houses, markets etc. if they paid for their land and obtained the necessary deeds and titles, what stops them going to court?

ODUA_NEGRO:

Yorubas gave you safety and security of lives when elsewhere you were hated and chased out. Yorubas gave you a path to economic recovery by opening our land for you to operate markets and industry....aspects which your own land cannot support. Yorubas gave you back your property and rents and mortgages when your rights in other parts were permanently and forever denied.

so what is a piece of land to give to a Yoruba community for a cultural center? Beside, in the other example they wanted a purchase, not a gift.


since we are talking of ladipo market....ibos did not buy any land in lagos on which any of your markets are located. you are leasing space on the land. the markets belong to the local govt. update and educate yourself on land laws in yorubaland. if you paid someone for a marketland purchase, hurry up and get your money back, LGs own rights of holdings on behalf of native families.

kingoflag:

We probably wont know because some people just dont believe in whining as grown men, they take their "L" to the chin, stick their chest out, and keep it moving.

Why were they paraded? Didnt they get caught with Machetes, Daggers, meat cleavers and voodoo charms? Didnt they confess to be "Security Forces" hired from the Eastern part of Nigeria to come provide protection for their compadres at the market in Lagos? Are they cops? Who authorized them to carry such weapons or discharge duties of law and order? So, what are your complaints about?

eggheaders:


damn they are the same lols.with the way y'all treat the ebonyi peeps the delta igbos y'all openly called efulefu for not being on the same page with you about the biafra issue lol mehn.your assertion does not hold water igbos are significant in other climes too they were not given political positions and pre fashola no governor deem it fit to appoint any ndigbo right.y'all should quit whining and give this guy a thumbs up mehn.

Bliss4Lyfe:

Well put propaganda, but one point... Yorubas don't own Lagos. Go and learn property law and u will find that the land belongs to those with property on it particularly after long residency. mumu!

inufele2:

Post the pictures biko, I'm sure there are many threads with pictures of many eastern cities on NL, if I do not have time to pull them out (as I'm in work now) I believe other posters will dig them out for you.

ACM10:

I have a feeling that you have penchant for making careless assertions. Which state is the present secretary-general of Ohaneze Ndigbo from? Delta, right? If Igbos can give that top post to a Deltan, then what do you make of it?
No true son of Igbo calls Ebonyi or Deltans, efulefu. Who in his right state of mind will call a whole state and an integral part of Igboland, efulefus. Efulefu is a term reserved for the few misguided Igbos. It does not discriminate between states. We have efulefus in every states of Igboland. So, learn to use your terms appropriately.
But that does not take away the fact that Fashola is a Yoruba ethnic jingoist.

it not far fetch get to upper iweka and see how the uzo guys(truckpushers).are daily insulted by your folks because they are mostly ebonyi guys.which has made those guys hostile.no need dragging issues with you.a copy of the biafran veteran Gen. maduegbuena books will give you more insight on how ndigbo view the delta igbos.

gbadexy: I feel for the traders at ladipo.
There are many other tribes there too but the ibos are the predominant ones there.
Its obvious the leadership of the market brought this on the market because I read on a thread here where the commissioner said they went to the market but the leaders didn't meet with them and they formed their own government there.
The market leaders should have met with the government and addressed the complaint on time. I even read that the closure was announce a week ahead and I expected the market leadership to have gone for damage control and do an agreement with the government to sanitize the market.
If the market leaders can constitute a security outfit, they could have easily formed and empower environment task force to ensure compliance.
That notwithstanding, the government should facilitate early opening of the market even if it means they would take over the management of the market because these people aren't salary earners, they make daily money!
We need to put ourselves in their shoes and not just make statements because it is happening to another person.

ACM10:

For some obvious reason, I will not post the pictures on this thread. But feel free to challenge me in some other threads. Ibadan is unbelieveably filthy. Even the clean up they did today is not enough to improve the outlook of the town.

ACM10:

Who is Gen. maduegbuena? I can see that you are playing above your league. At this point in time, I feel no need to respond to any of your outrageous claims.

eggheaders:


how do you mean.since you not ready to debate again goodluck.

eggheaders:


then why y'all desire to be treated right here.are your numerous Eze ndigbo here not representing you guys. the appointment just show how liberal we are.in alaigbo there are numerous Delta igbos why has your governors not consider them for any political post?? it not far fetched in a clime where non abians were sack from the abia state civil service because of their state of origin.speak volumes about you guys.

Sunny_bobo:

Salam, there is nobody like General Maduegbeuna. He only exists in your imagination

Sincere9gerian:
I've been reading alot of articles recently about the attitude of the Lagos state govt towards Igbos in the state. What is going on?

I've not commented on this issue because of inadequate information but I cant understand how state govt officials will abruptly close a market as big and old as Ladipo?

If there are issues like environmental sanitation and all that, is the solution to such problems complete closure? Do we cut off the head because of headache?

This attitude of decapitating means of lively hood of the poor because of one flimsy (or even genuine concerns) reason or the other is wicked. Okada is constituting nuisance, ban Okada. There are environmental challenges in Ladipo market, close the market. What about the thieving politicians? Do we now ban them too?

Decapitation cannot be the only solution to these problems. I thought they said some 'progressive' minded persons are charge of Lagos? These persons are being paid to proffer solutions to problems. If the only solution they can proffer at any given time is decapitation, then they'r USELESS

Sincere9gerian:
I have personally and officially followed closely, the case of Ladipo market, Mushin LGA Lagos. I assert that the closing down of Ladipo market by the Lagos State Government and the arrest, detention and dehumanizing of Igbo traders in that market is a clear case of oppression and injustice by powerful, primordial forces intent on dislodging the traders, dispossessing them of their assets and taking over a market they built with their own sweat and resources.

This is the culmination of a long-drawn scheme and ceaseless attempts by these self-serving and base individuals and forces to forcefully and illegally throw out the traders and take over their market, in utter violation of subsisting agreements that the traders will run the market for a specified period of time having spent their money constructing structures in the market.

The claims of 'environmental degradation','obstruction of traffic and drainage' etc are fraudulent pretext and sheer subterfuge for what is apparently a case of ethnic persecution fuelled by hatred and the individual avarice of some people who have over the years nursed the ambition to take over the market- and have on several occasions- and up to December 2012, used both the police and thugs to harass, intimidate, hound and even made attempts on the lives of the leadership and members of the traders association. A section of the media has also been employed to propagate falsehood in furtherance of the dubious agenda of the masterminds of this wicked act. Those innocent traders branded 'bakasi boys' and currently detained by the police must be released. The issues leading to, and surrounding, the closure of the market should be transparently investigated and truth and justice must prevail!
