Biafra diplomat:

Igbos are not trouble makers but at the same time, they are never intimidated rather they will fight for a cause they believe in even to the last man standing. The civil war is a case study, even with millions dead and the overwhelming imperial and federal allied forces attacking them from all sides and harangued by hunger and starvation with the blockade effectively in place, they kept on till the end. I don't think any other ethnic group in Nigeria could have the guts and resilience to stand the rest of the country as well as the imperial forces. The east was destroyed both the infrastructure, social demography, etc and it took the Igbos many years to recover irrespective of their natural instincts on turning waste to wealth.

Lagos would not survive an implosion of the magnitude that ethnic war between Igbos and Yorubas would cause, there are many Igbos that were born in Lagos who have never been to the east since they were born as well as hundreds of thousands of others who invested millions who would rather die defending it than running away. If the Igbos could fight the whole of Nigeria to a stand still then I don't think the Yorubas alone could overwhelm us.

LETS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE IN NIGERIA!

Lagosbabe1:

Sorry can I get some clarifications from you- mainly about the figures. Thank you.

Is that in millions or thousands? Are you saying there are 110 million Americans living in China? If Yes, please can you kindly provide your source.

If you mean that there are 110,000 Americans in China, can you provide a breakdown of those that are expatriates working for American Multinationals, Journalists working for American News Corporations, Researchers and Students and Americans who are economic migrants in China.

Many thanks in advance

jp philips:

if I do all you asked, what will you be doing?
2011- 110, 000 Americans in China.
American population at the time was less than 350m

2013- I ve not checked.

now I mentioned Britain and south Korea inclusive

auto correct screwed the figures

Katsumoto:

This is how morons join a conversation midstream and get slammed to the ground.

It appears that your dull brain does not not the difference between Individuals migrating for greener pastures and those working for conglomerates who are diversifying into other countries. There are many Americans no doubt in the UK and China but a majority are working for US or European firms. I spent two years in Shanghai working for a firm, will you put me in the same category as someone who traveled from Abakaliki to Lagos to work in his brothers shop?

Try to understand before commenting or ask for an explanation. Like a big fool that you are, you didn't just seek clarification or understanding but you thought in the usual manner of an unintelligent dunce, that adding insults to your points would make you more intelligent.

Katsumoto:

There are over 350 million Americans and not 350,000. Is that what the Aba made Encyclopedia you have provides?

If you get something as simple as population figures wrong and don't have the ability to deduce that you are way of the mark, then you need to sit in a corner with a dummy in your mouth. Clearly you have not even seen the map of the US before let alone visit otherwise you wouldn't have made that 2nd grade error.

Your brain wasn't quick to tell you that the population of the US can not be less than 350,000. There are more people in Awka than 350,000, yet this slowpoke doesn't have the gumption to comprehend.

Come and tell us you made a mistake.

Lagosbabe1:

Very weak come back and explanation for the school boy error you made there. Now going forward, what is the percentage of 110000 to 350 million people, do you consider that as a strong argument for your rant earlier?

Katsumoto:

He is dumb, how can anyone with a solid education make the mistake of stating that the US population is less than 350,000?

agbameta:



According to history, the last man ran off the battle field instead of standing and fighting...

Aigbofa:

Your post is full of "I don't think", "I don't think". You should do a lot more thinking and stop daydreaming.
And good luck to fighting Yoruba on their own land.

Katsumoto: Jp philips

I am coming for u; i am going to school you today and i will do it for free.

No one believes auto check screwed up 350 million to 350,000.

jp philips:

well, if you type 110,000 and write 350 , we know what happens next, re u still on ur previous claim that Americans dont migrate to evade stiffer competition?

Katsumoto:

You wrote 350,000. Lying just makes it worse.

I will address the rest of ur post shortly.

deeptesting: LASG should stop harassing Igbo traders in Lagos State and labeling them all sorts of names......If the traders refused to pay tax to the LASG because the market and land belongs to the Federal Government how does that constitute a security threat? Nonsense.

Lagos would not survive an implosion of the magnitude that ethnic war between Igbos and Yorubas would cause, there are many Igbos that were born in Lagos who have never been to the east since they were born as well as hundreds of thousands of others who invested millions who would rather die defending it than running away.

99cent:

yeah your post makes zero sense.
if the so called many "igbos" were born in Lagos, have never been to the east and don't know nothing about the east, cannot speak a sentence in igbo. then what makes them Igbo? What makes you think that if they identify more with yorubaland, speak yoruba, eat yoruba foods, wear yoruba clothes etc. u really think they will turn around and fight biafra war for you?
mtchew. rubbish. most of them could care less about ur tribal ideas and within 2 generations most of them are assimilating as yorubas.
better go and re-think your strategy.

jp philips:

sorry, I can't tutor you for free,

99cent:

you can't refuse to pay taxes in Lagos under Fashola.
the "Federal Government" excuse is overplayed and won't work.
reminds me of the thread about dirty filthy roads in Aba, Abia state. All of a sudden, "Federal Government" became the enemy and cause of filthy slums in Aba. Everything is always another person's fault. today it is lagos's fault. tomorrow it is federal government's fault. tomorrow it is Kano and Abuja's fault. Day after that, it is South Africa's fault.

PAY YOUR DAMN TAXES. take personal responsibility once in a while.

Lagosbabe1:

Going by your post where you erroneously assumed that the population of the USA = 350000, you will need a lot of tutorials yourself.

You have shot yourself in the foot and you should just man up, chin up and accept your mistake.

That is the problem with a lot of folks on here, you have very little knowledge and rudimentary debating skills but mask it with false bravado and ad hominem attacks. I think you should watch and learn from the very people you love to hate.

Biafra diplomat:
Yes, because he who fights and takes off leaves to fight another day rather than a coward who would commit suicide by drinking rat poison because he was afraid to face his fears..., The same person you guys celebrate as a hero, little wonder you are a race that is well known for cowardice.

true2god: I knw u r educated but u r very wrong to tell me dat edo is more developed dan enugu, ekiti is more than anambra, or Jigawa is more developed dan Imo. I knw u must be joking or u dnt travel outside lagos.



I grow up in Lagos, and aside from Lagos there is no any economically viable state in the south west. Remember that its only the south western states (aside lagos) in the south that took the FG to court over the offshore\onshore dichotomy on oil revenue sharing formula. They said they cant operate without enough oil revenue frm federation acct. The other south western states are poorer than south eastern states.


The pride of south west is lagos, ok?

ALTRUTH:

And do you have proof that they don't pay taxes?

Biafra diplomat: It's obvious you're overestimating your IQ, that they have stayed donkey years in Lagos does not mean they can't speak Igbo, do not bear Igbo names, do not look like Igbos or would not identify with their kit and kin, remember they all do business together and attend town meetings together. Mind you nobody is instigating any war but when pushing gets to shoving everybody would answer his fathers name.

Biafra diplomat: there are many Igbos that were born in Lagos who have never been to the east since they were born

ngozievergreen:

what do they know?
Sometimes i ask some of dem on dis forum, Aside lagos dat houses igbos, yorubas and all, where exactly in SW can compare to SE? None.
There are no cities in Sw that are as comely and fine as Enugu and Owerri.
No city with the creativity of Aba in d Sw.
No economically viable capital/non- capital city as Onitsha and Nnewi.
No Villages in SW have better houses than SE? The only state making sense in SW is a place that was least developed by the yorubas. Aside d State civil service,
what other sectors in Lagos are exclusively a yoruba sector?
Lagos was developed with cocoa my foot. And now, who ate all the cocoa?
Sw devt died with Awolowo.
