I read the thread. they weren't asking for "free land" they were asking for a community space. It was promised but never fulfilled.
they were also asking for what happened to federal allocation for Hajj. We know that there aren't many igbo muslims so what did Chime do with the Hajj money if he didn't give it to the yoruba/hausa community in his state?
Also, the article was written by an igbo person and very visibly biased.

Too bad there aren't many yorubas living in the east for there to be publicity about the marginaization going on by the self-righteous igbo brethren.






Hajj money is not fed money. It is State money. I dare you to prove me wrong. Why should Enugu sponsor hajj when they do not believe in Islam? Do muslim states sponsor Igbo pilgrims to Jerusalem? Why are they asking for what they cannot offer others?

Plus you claim land was promised them. Thank God you called it promise. How many land have SW govs promised Igbos?

it's not a yoruba pilgrim it's a muslim pilgrim. just as there are christian pilgrimages that igbos are a part of. YES sponsored in lagos state!
if you feel that you shouldn't sponsor the pilgrimage because you don't believe in islam then how dare you question northerners persecution of christians since they also do not believe in Christianity?

In a statement issued after a well attended joint meeting of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the traditional council of Ndi-Eze and the title holders, held at the Ndigbo National secretariat in Lagos, they resolved that the era of disunity is over.

igbos have secretariats in lagos. so why are igbos reluctant to let the yorubas in their state build a secretariat?

they are asking for land to build a secretariat. Igbos have had one (or probably even more than one) for a LONG TIME.



Pilgrimages to Mecca and Jerusalem are sponsored by states not fed. Each state is interested in sponsoring their own people in the preponderant religion, and owe no obligation to others. You need to show me one IGBO MAN sponsored to Jerusalem by SW or northern muslim states.

You claimed (lied) Yorubas in Igboland are few, yet those in Enugu alone are asking for land for a secretariat. What does one or two persons need a secretariat for then? Besides, why can't they buy land and build their secretariat. Igbos in Lagos bought land and built theirs with no support from Lag govt

Persecuted by not giving them free land and unmerited hajj money I laugh in Pakistan language. Igbos are not muslims; Enugu sponsors pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Christian Yorubas in Enugu might benefit from that.

No. Igbos will not complain because most street hawkers are Yoruba. Most Igbo traders own shops, even if a small one. Street hawkers include Yoruba (50 %), Igbo (30%), Calabar, Delta, Hausa, Beninois and Togolese, ( all 20%)etc

Obi donates land to Hausa, Yoruba communities
http://dailyindependentnig.com/2013/07/obi-donates-land-to-hausa-yoruba-communities/

At least Obi did this. What free land has been given to Igbos in any SW or Northern State?

Abia govt also gave land and buildings to Northern cattle merchants.

History Of The Market
According to Mrs. Veronica Nwoga, an indigene of Enugu state, the cattle market was first located in Umuahia in an area popularly called Gariki, but was relocated to Okigwe on May 15, 1994, following complaints by residents that it was not proper to site such a market in a state capital, which Umuahia had become by then following the creation of Abia state in 1991.

According to Mrs. Nwoga, who started selling items used by butchers at the Gariki cattle market, Umuahia, the then government of Abia state, first built a cattle market at Ubakala in the outskirts of Umuahia, but the Northern traders rejected the location of the market. They preferred a place close to the Expressway, preferably the Enugu - Port-Harcourt Expressway.

While the Abia state government prevaricated on meeting the request of the cattle dealers, the then government of Imo state, moved in and secured a land at Okigwe junction for the relocation of the cattle market. In doing that the Imo state government, appreciated the economic importance of the cattle market. “This market will increase the internally generated revenue of the state” a senior government official reportedly said then.

But for inexplicable reasons, the Imo state government resolved to push the cattle market to another location, a move that rankled the traders. And as the traders were thinking of going back to the North, the former Abia state governor Orji Uzor Kalu, invited their leaders for talks, and at the end of the day, the Abia state government provided a large expanse of land at Umuchieze in Umunneochi Local Government Area of the state, for the cattle traders to stay and ply their business.

According to Alhaji Bishara, most of the cattle traders are from the Northern parts of the country, and have lived all their lives in Abia state. Indeed, most of them are descendants of Hausa/ Fulani cattle traders who had settled in Umuahia long before the country gained independence from the British colonial masters on October 1, 1960.

“We do not see ourselves as traders alone, but as residents and citizens of Abia state who are working and trading for the development of the economy of the state, and that is why we are agitating for a special political ward to enable us elect somebody who will represent our interests in the local government council.

“Actually the Abia state government had in the past, extended political appointments including a special advisory position to some of us. This goes to show how close we are to the government of Abia state. But we are asking for one of us to be appointed a commissioner to represent our interests in the Abia state executive council, whenever governor Theodore Orji decides to dissolve the existing state executive, and appoint a new one.

“I must say that this community enjoys a good relationship with the administration of Governor Theodore Orji as well as that of the Umunne ochi local government council. The relationship with the council is so cordial, and even when we quarrel with indigenous farmers in the area over the grazing of our cattle in their farmland, the successive council chairmen had invited us for amicable settlement of the matter instead of engaging in violent clashes with our hosts.

“We are enjoying reasonable security in the market, and that has allowed our business to thrive. We thank the Abia state government for approving the posting of soldiers and mobile police men here. The Abia state government has also provided us with nomadic school for our children, and we are requesting the government to also provide us with a health centre where our women can take treatment with ease rather than travelling long distances to access medical care,” said Alhaji Bishara in an interview with LEADERSHIP SUNDAY.

the yorubas and hausas were relocated from their land and moved to new locations assigned by Obi.

a couple of hundred is way too high. not more than 30 people in total i'm sure.
Even the article got one thing right:

The Yoruba indigenes who are reluctant to migrate to settle within the country (outside their immediate enclaves) at least not so disposed to doing so as much as their counterpart of Igbo extraction. This is not denying the fact that the Yorubas are equally itinerant but most of their voyages target overseas

due to massive inflation. if biafra became independent, it will be worse than zimbabwe. all the igbos will leave for nigeria and worse, cameroon. infact, nigeria will have a worse immigration problem than it currently does grin

everyone knows d reason igbos r buying land like no tomorrow is because they have never seen cheap land before. hahaha they do not know that they are actually buying it at a higher price than locals will pay for them. at the end of the day, when the igbos have to "flee" they will leave the same land behind at a financial loss to themselves. grin

useless barren land for that matter. SE is the Zimbabwe of Nigeria. I'm not even sure whether it is currency forgery or just economic incompetence. but whatever it is, u are lucky that we share the same currency. money that is worthless in your region automatically enable u to buy land in west and north.

I think we should create a different currency system. Otherwise, the igbo problem will spread to the rest of Nigeria.

This thrend is very very bad and somebody ought to take the lagos state government to the supreme court. What right does any state have to deport citizens of a country where the state is located? So far as you're a nigerian you're free to live in any city you deam fit. We understand that lagos is populated but so is new york but andrew cuomo does not ship americans back to texas,idaho,wisconsin, iowa,nebraska,etc.. Without there consent, and when they consent, they are flown out in dignified manner.there are sane policies that can be implemented to keep only working people in the city and in conjuction with the federal government a policy on destitutes and beggers will also be formulated...but harsh internal deportation is plain wrong.
