What has the capital envy got to do with this thread? You can identify an Igbo for his/her affinity for the word "Envy".

Who is making political demands and who has the power to grant the demands?

Who is asking that the ethnic language be discontinued in a Yoruba state?

Who is asking for funding for a festival alien to Yoruba land?

Do the blessed always ask for more? Or when did the character flaw of covetousness become a blessing?

All I see is greed, and if you are infected with this disease already, I hope you do not genetically transfer it to your offspring.

This greed consumed your ancestors in the North, I hope it doesn't consume your offsprings in the West.

lol i beg to differ bro. it is not a case of yorubas being as soft as foam. as a human being you are supposed to be ductile and malleable or you will break. you are supposed to try and get on with everybody and live peaceably with all men if you can. now some may see this as a form of weakness but i see it as a form of strength. so i dont think it is yorubas being soft as much as i see it as ndigbos having very strong spirit. take for example america alone. you are bound to have annually up to 20 cases of ndigbo men butchering their wives to death in the most heinous ways possible. THATS THAT VERY STRONG SPIRIT. i hope you understand what i mean when i say ' very strong spirit '

Must I be Igbo before calling igbo my people? This is d same thing we are saying, must you insult me? Stop being stupid, be reasonable.

Im an engineer by profession and I will strangle an Ibo if i catch him in the wrong mood.

Creepy bantu! Try me!!

That is what I called a primitive black man idea of self-aggrandizement. It is nauseating people are creating territories when there is need for unity among humans in advancing humanity.

I can't seem to understand why you so much have to fashion a scene of dividing the people and ask for mutual respect. It never worked that way. Mutual respect comes from a scenario where there is unity and trust. There is no way people who don't trust each other are going to have respect that you are asking for. What you said is typical of average African person. I cannot believe a well read Yoruba person in a developed country is still having such a primitive mindset. These are the same things which give rise to many bad vices like supremacy, abusing other people's rights, cultural narcissism, fanaticism, hate, crimes, etc. Nigerians haven't learn from those who passed through such conditions in the past. The Nazi Germany institutionalized such practices and we have seen the devastating effects on humanity. Yet you are here talking about them. What a shame on you! I am not going to be a part of hate and look down on other tribes because I think they don't belong in my territory. That ignorance you are shipping in is xenophobic in nature. Please, stop the nonsense and find better solutions.

ibos are left out in entirely everything in this country

so its no news if fashola does the same

Collynzo419:
Iboes always complaining

what happened to staying in their God forsaken enclave and developing their villages?


If Iboes make up 75% of the population of Lagos- why complain?

Iboes should just use their numbers and take over Lagos, what are they waiting for??

Jokers

MayorofLagos:


I agree! The academic degree is somewhat of a hindrance to Yoruba senses. This is where I see Fashola, sorry to say.

He, for some reason, believes a SAN that he is forbids him to trade insults or throw jabs or be perceived or spoken of as exhibiting the traits of a tout.

Isnt this what our parents indoctrinated in us? Soon as you start fighting they tell us we are behaving like someone with no home training or a motorpark tout. And if its a girl they tell her behaving like omo alata. Lol. As if omo alata is some sort of an animal. Same parents that want us to conduct ourselves appropriately and not behave like animals allowed and permitted animals to invade in and live amongst us. Why did they not check and cleanse these animals for upgrade to our level before letting them settle?

An engineer can throw blowz, there is nothing wrong with it. A medical doctor can stab, its all within human nature to do so when provoked. An accountant can head butt and a lawyer can wrestle, in Nigeria, its all permitted when you have animal grade race of people cohabiting with you.

Lagos is ripe for advanced political reasoning and multi-ethnic governance. Lagos state is miles ahead of other states in Nigeria. Many Nigerians from other ethnic groups are more Lagosian than their original ethnic group. The state should lead the way in showing other states the beauty of multi-ethnic governance in Nigeria.

All these ethno-religious considerations impede the unity and progress of Nigeria. The minds of the new generation is corrupted by such considerations. In Lagos, kids are born together and mix up with eachother in playgrounds, school, churches and mosques without caring about ethnicity. It is only the grounded TRIBALISTIC social system that separates them and causes strife, suspicion and ethnic hatred as soon as they evolve into adulthood.

If we are indeed NIGERIANS, we should be seen as being Nigerian first before being Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Efik, Urhobo, Tiv etc. Lagos, as a cosmopolitan city, must lead the way.

So only igbos butcher deir spouse?? U want to tell me their has not cases of oda tribes?? Mtchewww!!!

good morning, lolz.

Lol, I'm not going to lie - since I've been following Nigerian news, politics, and ethnic relations - the Yorubas just look and act soft to me. They're not decisive in everything they do, and it's all about screaming inconsequential sophistication everywhere. The country is highly competitive, and territorial - and you have to put ya foot down. Delta and Urhobo domination is good example. Then you look at how small the Itsekiris are, and how despite that, they won't give an inch to anyone. However, with the Yorubas, they labelled the most important and strategic part of ya land as a "no man's land" - yet all you ever do is smile and suck up to them. Absolutely shocking.

Honestly, I don't care about Igbos. I only hear about "strong" Igbo and other funny stuffs on NL. Outside NL and in my neck of the woods, I honestly don't know any Igbo guy (maybe some guy I know from Brum) that's brave. Apart from the Yoruba and Edo guys - folks from the other Nigerian tribes are just there.

How can u seek councillor, did u contribute a penny to Akwa Ibom abi Akwa Ibom don turn FCT ni.


One Nigeria is not by-force, Ojukwu told Awolowo to keep his western region, but no, instead Ndiigbo wont build Lagos let 3million Die.


Today Ndiigbo have built Lagos and demanding their right as Lagosians.

Please when will our Igbo leaders write an open letter to Jonathan about the infrastructural decay of federal stuctures in Igbo land? Instead of fighting for political positions in another man's house,what is wrong in threatening Jonathan with our votes and make him fulfil his promises to Ndi Igbo?

ZionJay:

Without sounding immodest,you the most reasonable igbo lady i have ever interacted with. I admire your stream of thought. God bless you richly

There shall be no inclusion of ibos whatsoever.

Go and do your worst!

[size=18pt]With this level of igbo investment, we will continue to demand our right to freedom of association enshrined in the constitution. Igbo have a right as Lagosians to be included in the politics and day to day governance of their state lagos. [/size]

It pains me so much of the hatred that exists in this country. Just mere political expression /threat by NCSN has triggered all these name-calling and haulage of insults by fellow Nigerians to one tribe or the other, as though we have all been waiting for this opportunity to pour out our bitternesses . It is so sad. What then is the benefits of the degrees we have all acquired to be on this forum?
No one decided the tribe he/she wanted to belong,it was without our decision nor our suggestion that we are the tribe we are today, so why condemn one another?
THE CHANGE WE NEED IS IN THE WAY WE REASON
