EUROBOMBER:
The recent happenings in Lagos have created so much tension between the Igbo and the Yoruba. There is so much bitterness and hate talk flying around and this will not do us any good.

When you try to break a wall using a sledge hammer, you need to apply several blows before it gives in. You might need to apply a 100 blows but one thing to note is that it is not the 100th blow that breaks the wall, it is a combination of effects from the very first blow. This brings me to the recent statement credited to the Oba of Lagos to the Igbos. I condemn the statement and I believe every right-thinking person should do the same in the interest of peace and civility. What I want to tell my Igbo people is that the Oba's outburst is not just as a result of the forth-coming gubernatorial election in Lagos but a combination of factors. I hear some of our people calling Lagos a no-man's-land and this is just too bad; this is the height of arrogance and disrespect. How can we move into a Yoruba land, enjoying God's blessings and prosperity only to turn round and tell the people that their land belongs to nobody, that we feed them, and that they cannot survive without us and all the other rubbish and provocative stuff??

Clearly the Oba has been harbouring this anger as a result of the arrogance and provocation of our Igbo people and just could not contain it this time and lashed out.

My Igbo brothers, can we sit down and ask ourselves why we have been so aggressive towards the Yorubas? What have they done wrong to us to deserve this provocation and arrogance? The Yorubas are a very peaceful people and we turn round to call them cowards and all sorts of names. What do we want the Yorubas to do to prove to us that they are not cowards, rise up and go on a killing spree? These Yorubas even returned all our properties to us after the civil war something even our close neighbours in the SS didn’t do!

What does it take to respect your host and do as they wish my people for Christ’s sake? We are prosperous in Yoruba land and are enjoying the land and have no problem with the people, all they are for is for us to know our limits and give them their respect is this too much to ask from us? Let me ask my people one honest question, why are we not shouting that Kano is a no-man’s land The Yorubas have been very nice and taking all these insults from us and we turn around to point our fingers in their noses and call them cowards! Jesus! We claim to be Christians and worship God, is it not written in the bible that blessed are the peace makes for they shall be called the children of God?

My Igbo people please see a sample of what is making the Yorubas very angry with us:

1. I WILL ELEVATE EZE NDIGBO TO THE STATUS OF OBA OF LAGOS - JIMI AGBAJE.

2. IGBO WILL DETERMINE WHO RULES LAGOS- IFEANYI UBAH

3. LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND.- IFEANYI UBAH DURING TAN CAMPAIGN.

4. IGBO DEVELOPED AND CONTROL LAGOS- JIMI AGBAJE DURING GEJ CAMPAIGN IN AKWA IBOM

5. WE MUST PRODUCE THE NEXT DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF LAGOS- EZE NDIGBO

MY QUESTIONS TO IGBOS,

1. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED?

2. CAN EMIR OF KANO ACCEPT ....?

3. DO YOU HAVE ANY SINGLE TRIBE IN YOUR CABINET IN THE EAST?

4. CAN ANY TRIBE CLAIM ONITHSA OR ABA TO BE NO MAN,S LAND?

5. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT THE ELEVATION OF SARKIN HAUSA IN ONITHSA TO OBI STATUS?

I want to use this medium to appeal to well-meaning Yorubas to forgive the childishness and foolishness of our people. Please drop any plans of violence being planned against our people and all other diplomatic ways of punishing our people in your land including Lagos.

We recognise that LAGOS IS A YORUBA LAND and will respect that. Please I appeal for calm and understanding. I am inviting some Yorubas I respect on this forum to help reach out to your people to be calm, I have personally decided to start a campaign to reorientate our people as God helps me in my own way to change the way we think.

Even God told Moses that if he could find just 10 righteous people he will not destroy Sodom & Gomorrah. Igbos like me are far more than 10 in Lagos and other areas of SW. Please do not bring out the beast in you and and please allow better judgement prevail over emotions.

I'll just correct a mistake u made above..Lagos belongs to the Lagosians and not to YORUBAS...same way Ekiti doesn't belong to those from Ondo state. An Anambra man has as much right to Lagos as a Kano man and also as an Osun man. The only similarity between the later mentioned and a lagosian is their language and maybe one or 2 traditions.

2ndly Lagos is the former country Capital built with Nigeria's Money and not the money of lagosians, infact it has been developed with the money of Igbos, Yorubas and Hausas. So being a Yoruba man doesn't give u rights to lagos, I won't even pay u attention except u're a full indigene.

I stay in Abuja now and I've witnessed the development here, just like lagos it's being done by both Igbos, Hausas and Yorubas. Mind u Abuja Indigenes aren't Hausas but it's in the North. Does that mean that if the Capital moves the entire Hausa tribe will claim Abuja and chase the Yorubas and Igbos out? Ofcourse jugding by your post they should have the right since it's in the North.

Saying Lagos is no man's land isn't meant to disrespect anyone, infact the only people that should feel disrespected are it's indigenes and not the entire Yoruba tribe.

Let's put this tribe issues aside in Lagos state and move on..unfortunately Lagos has the history it has and you can turn back time or try to re-write it. The population of "Non-Indigenes" in lagos is as a result of it being a state capital and just like Abuja is no man's land atm, u can't change the history of Lagos

Some of you guys are losing their mind. Go out there and check out the meaning of democracy and or capitalism. As soon as u find out what it means it is then that you will understand. the bigots amongst us continue light the fire of discord and they will end up being consumed in their own flame. every other tribe always use the igbos as the armpit of Nigeria.

Thank you so much. The main issue here according to you is corruption. Meaning that Buhari's election is because he is a Saint. Can you tell me any political party that is more loaded with corrupt individuals other than the apc if corruption is why you voted out GEJ? The party you can comfortably and openly point at that is heavily loaded with corrupt people is apc. We have the chief of corruption like Thiefnu.bu, the general of corruption like Atiku, all the former pdp members who were asked to leave for corruption are in apc.
You people, the hausas and the yoruba cannot turn us down as at today again. That time don go since.
Whatever ways you may look at it, there is no way the entire yoruba states, the entire west will vote against GEJ because of corruption. It is a complete and open betrayal. But I want you people to know that there will be no peace again until we go our ways. You cannot get the crude from the owners unless they are all killed. Very shortly, we will kick off. Remember how you frustrated GEJ.
Ok , tell me if it was as a result of corruption that made the four governors to run away from GEJ? Was that action not taken to run down GEJ? Let us see how this country will end up.
Do you expect me to list out all the numerous GEJ flaws out again, something which you know yourself. Is it d placing of quantity over quality with regards to university education? Or his lack of connection with d masses with regards to his economic policies, d power sector noises a part? Or his weakness in making his cabinet members accountable? I don't need to go on and on on a subject matter u knw well. And did u say APC is filled with ex-PDP members sacked on corruption grounds? Pls cry me an ocean! Sacked ko! Sucked ni!! This Tinubu u point fingers at was taken with a presidential jet frm Lagos to Abuja in 2011 to meet GEJ, Tinubu neglected Ribadu, sm1 you'd call an Hausa man, and supported GEJ. It was only Osun state that was won by ACN of Ribadu then. GEJ was given a chance, but he failed us, which u knw too. Nw Buhari is being supported, so wht's wrong in that. I'D ADVICE THE IGBOS TO REMOVE THEIR 50 SHADES OF TRIBALISM AND LET'S MAKE NIGERIA GREAT AGAIN.

I don't know much abou Abuja's history b4 being made d capital tho. I won't dispute ur opinion nor that of eurobomber, but I'll go against that Jimi Agbaje's claim of making an Igbo Oba of Lagos. We mix seperate tradition and heritage with civilisation. The Royal family, which obviously would be a Yoruba Lagosian should always produce the King.

May Sopanaa god of small pox spew his blessing on you and your damn Igbo family
IsraeliAIRFORCE:



You just spewed nonsense,

ABA is called no man's land and other tribes hold sway over the indigenous people and nothing bad has happened.

Every citizen born and bred in ABA is regarded as Nwa-Aba including Yorubas who operate in motor Parks.

In Lagos State, most: indigenous people are on the side of the Igbos, whose legitimate son is seeking for a mandate to govern Lagos State as against their migrant cousins from Ondo, Osun, Ekiti and the rest who are usurping the privileges in the name of regional co-existence.

If Lagos State indigenous people are not good for governor, who is?

Why should the Oba prefer a migrant from Ondo State to a free born from his ancestry?

The Oba has been induced with financial and juicy benefits or he is just dumb for thinking he is more Lagosian / Yoruba than Jimi Agbaje.

Thank you for thinking outside the box but nothing is wrong in the supremacy of the constitution over traditional authority.

I wish Ndigbos will leave their noses on their faces, seperating them will never do them any good, Okorocha is trying his best to mend fences and build bridges but the resistance to all friendly overtures is unbecoming.

Everyone made their choices; nowhere did the HF and the yorubas promise their votes to Jonathan.

The election is over and done with,the winner has promised to work for everyone, while the loser has asked for everyone's co operation for the incoming regime but some still insist on crying more than the bereaved.
Multiparty democracy means that there has to be opposition party. You cant force everyone to vote one party.
As for igbos who are ibtimidated into voting for the APC, one message for you;

They still wont like you,
Hausa wont stop killing you in the north
Yoruba wont stop hating you
Nigeria wont stop igbophobia just bc you voted
APC
Igbos remain a hated group in nigeria, forced to be in nigeria by conquest, berated for voting tour choice, intimidated by the lagos Oba when the Lagos governor is not deporting you

They will never like you.

I wish you luck.

Jesus! We claim to be Christians and worship God, is it not written in the bible that blessed are the peace makes for they shall be called the children of God?

My Igbo people please see a sample of what is making the Yorubas very angry with us:

1. I WILL ELEVATE EZE NDIGBO TO THE STATUS OF OBA OF LAGOS - JIMI AGBAJE.

2. IGBO WILL DETERMINE WHO RULES LAGOS- IFEANYI UBAH

3. LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND.- IFEANYI UBAH DURING TAN CAMPAIGN.

4. IGBO DEVELOPED AND CONTROL LAGOS- JIMI AGBAJE DURING GEJ CAMPAIGN IN AKWA IBOM

5. WE MUST PRODUCE THE NEXT DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF LAGOS- EZE NDIGBO

MY QUESTIONS TO IGBOS,

1. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED?

2. CAN EMIR OF KANO ACCEPT ....?

3. DO YOU HAVE ANY SINGLE TRIBE IN YOUR CABINET IN THE EAST?

4. CAN ANY TRIBE CLAIM ONITHSA OR ABA TO BE NO MAN,S LAND?

5. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT THE ELEVATION OF SARKIN HAUSA IN ONITHSA TO OBI STATUS?

I want to use this medium to appeal to well-meaning Yorubas to forgive the childishness and foolishness of our people. Please drop any plans of violence being planned against our people and all other diplomatic ways of punishing our people in your land including Lagos.

We recognise that LAGOS IS A YORUBA LAND and will respect that. Please I appeal for calm and understanding. I am inviting some Yorubas I respect on this forum to help reach out to your people to be calm, I have personally decided to start a campaign to reorientate our people as God helps me in my own way to change the way we think.

Even God told Moses that if he could find just 10 righteous people he will not destroy Sodom & Gomorrah. Igbos like me are far more than 10 in Lagos and other areas of SW. Please do not bring out the beast in you and and please allow better judgement prevail over emotions.
applause to u sir...u did a good judgement to dis matter. Indeed, u are a disciple. '..God bless u sir...please let my igbo brothers read this, it was written by a man who cld discern d truth.

Multiparty democracy means that there has to be opposition party. You cant force everyone to vote one party.
As for igbos who are ibtimidated into voting for the APC, one message for you;

They still wont like you,
Hausa wont stop killing you in the north
Yoruba wont stop hating you
Nigeria wont stop igbophobia just bc you voted
APC
Igbos remain a hated group in nigeria, forced to be in nigeria by conquest, berated for voting tour choice, intimidated by the lagos Oba when the Lagos governor is not deporting you

They will never like you.

I wish you luck.


Nigeria will get no where with people thinking like you. Instead of us looking forward to positive things a change can bring, you here wasting time on tribal sentiment. Sorry for una.!

Forget what I think. Its not about me. Its reality. Go to nairaland and see for yourself the amt of hatred that lies everywhere.

Do you knowbthat it was igbos in the east eho fought hard against all odds to make sure rhe PDP didnt rig the election to favor Jonathan? Yet after the election its igbophobia all over the internet.

Remember, it wasnt toshmann who called for the annihilation of another tribe( someone asked for igbos to be wiped off the earth) i
It wasnt toshman who asked another tribe to die in the lagoon.
We've seen millions of posts even here in nairaland that says "igbo will never rule nigeria" "igbo die, igbo this, igbo that"
Yes, some igbos return negative statements too about other tribes, but not me.
It wasnt toshman who abused another tribe

I have said nothing negative about any tribe or race. Im only smart enough to know when someone hates me or my ethnicity.

What will hold nigeria back is not toshmann
Its the people who kill others bc of teibe or religion. People who feel others are inferior. People who hate and berate others. Not me

EUROBOMBER:
The recent happenings in Lagos have created so much tension between the Igbo and the Yoruba. There is so much bitterness and hate talk flying around and this will not do us any good.

When you try to break a wall using a sledge hammer, you need to apply several blows before it gives in. You might need to apply a 100 blows but one thing to note is that it is not the 100th blow that breaks the wall, it is a combination of effects from the very first blow. This brings me to the recent statement credited to the Oba of Lagos to the Igbos. I condemn the statement and I believe every right-thinking person should do the same in the interest of peace and civility. What I want to tell my Igbo people is that the Oba's outburst is not just as a result of the forth-coming gubernatorial election in Lagos but a combination of factors. I hear some of our people calling Lagos a no-man's-land and this is just too bad; this is the height of arrogance and disrespect. How can we move into a Yoruba land, enjoying God's blessings and prosperity only to turn round and tell the people that their land belongs to nobody, that we feed them, and that they cannot survive without us and all the other rubbish and provocative stuff??

Clearly the Oba has been harbouring this anger as a result of the arrogance and provocation of our Igbo people and just could not contain it this time and lashed out.

My Igbo brothers, can we sit down and ask ourselves why we have been so aggressive towards the Yorubas? What have they done wrong to us to deserve this provocation and arrogance? The Yorubas are a very peaceful people and we turn round to call them cowards and all sorts of names. What do we want the Yorubas to do to prove to us that they are not cowards, rise up and go on a killing spree? These Yorubas even returned all our properties to us after the civil war something even our close neighbours in the SS didn’t do!

What does it take to respect your host and do as they wish my people for Christ’s sake? We are prosperous in Yoruba land and are enjoying the land and have no problem with the people, all they are for is for us to know our limits and give them their respect is this too much to ask from us? Let me ask my people one honest question, why are we not shouting that Kano is a no-man’s land The Yorubas have been very nice and taking all these insults from us and we turn around to point our fingers in their noses and call them cowards!
