I'm a deltan igbo and I can see yoruba trying their claim claim. Which yoruba makes up ND or do you mean the lazy touts that migrated to ND to work in oil companies. Abeg mechi on with una thievery. Before now you'll come tell us Itsekiri are yoruba and Warri is a Yoruba town. Mtchewwwwww

you can buy it up its none of our Biz but it still remains Yoruba territory.
I think am done with you most of your thread and talk are based on tribalism.. You even called the oba a fool...

Sorry there's no such thing as Delta ibo! You were refugees in delta during the war and you are squatters there today. We have Lagos ibo, Kano ibo and Delta ibo. You are not native to the land! You are claiming just as you claim anywhere that strikes you fancy! You are former refugees and now squatters!

Alfamann:


Maybe you don't know the meaning of delta. Not surprising as you were surely freely educated.

BluIvy:


My dearest! With all due respect this thread was created as a peace platform and it would be sad if that peace would not reign because we all have list of issues we want to bring forth and deal with. As a sign of goodwill and respect to the Op @ EUROBOMBER i will let him continue with his humble appeal to all Nigerians and pray that he hopefully becomes successful.

Peace is always good!

babyosisi:


Not at all
If an Igbo man chooses to apologize to a group whose oba just threatened his people with death as a means of making peace,it is his apology not mine.
That is not how to make peace
I am not at war with anyone
And I will not be made to apologize for anything in me that threatens my neighbor when he is the aggressor
Never
You don't put dirty fingers into my eyes and expect me to apologize to you

There is nothing in his write up I and many Igbos reading it relate to
He doesn't speak for me

.With all due respect, i disagree with most of the things you said here,
I will try to answer some of your questions, but before I do, let me remind you that Lagos was a state capital and was developed with Nigerians money, so it belongs to all of us, Lagos will not be what it is today if not for all our efforts. Nigeria should develop Enugu as much as they developed Abuja and Lagos and let's see if we would not move back home, give us an international airport and a standard seaport
*Kano is not called a no mans land because it was not once a state capital,
Let me ask you,
*how would you feel if someone wakes up tomorrow and start telling you that Abuja belongs to his father or grand father ?

I didn't even read this. After reading your first sentence and seeing the out right lie and playing victim, I knew the rest is going to follow through.

My answer to your lies, make sure the evidence is not still out.

Here you go. Compare and contrast on just page 0 alone, how many of your brothers supported and taunted igbos based on the obas stupidity rants to how many igbos insulted him or even how many Yorubas condemn him. After you do so then read the entire thread from beginning to end and redo the same comparison

Mtchewwwww. You people lie no be small to convert una feces.

Btw: this is not all. This is just the first thread that started it all, if I drag all up here, you'll hang your head in shame for outright lie

Iykopee:
I reside in PH. Authoritatively i can state that no yoruba man nor their tribe has been threatened to elimination by any monarch in Rivers state for choosing to vote their choiced candidate.

Currently, the chairman of Rivers state environmental sanitation authority is a yoruba man appointed by Amaechi. The commissioner of commerce and industry is deltan, yet indigenes of Rivers state didnt threaten the yoruba tribe nor deltans to elimination. We have some wards where non indigene cud contest for elective positions, nobody is threatening hell. So what makes it right for the oba to threaten the igbos to elimination for simply choosing to vote a yoruba man not even igbo?
Lagos is still part of Nigeria and whoever that doesn't like igbos preferred voting choice in a democracy shud do his worst..

EUROBOMBER:


Please try and understand where I am coming from can you?

midolian:
thank you..my stereotyping has little to do with wat the igbo guy said. I served in a place(bode saadu, kwara state) dominated by the igbos and I saw how high they raised their shoulders among others. Many of them tried evey possible means to make money outta poor innocent children and also took advantage of their fellow corp members..some chose to call my hausa/fulani friends "nama"(meat) sef cos they don't like his tribe while some call the muslims "boko haram"...now, tell me more about stereotyping...

See I ve met and mixed with thousands of igbos my entire life and if I must be frank with you, there are very few with almost impeccable attitudes.. I do tolerate them and that's why I get to find out the good ones outta them.. I hate to say I don't like majority of them

pak:



Please, I do not intend to join issues in the main discussion of this thread for now but we need to set a record straight.....
Ilaje LGA in Ondo state is one of the major oil producing areas in Nigeria and it is in Yoruba land.
Infact crude oil was first discovered in Araromi (a village in Ilaje land) by the Germans in 1908. As against Oloibori as claimed, it was just that commercial exploration didn't start immediately there

babyosisi:


This is the stupidity I am referring to for all to see
The yorubas always buy others people's fight
When an ijaw or ikwerre Igbo debate comes on,the loudest as usual will be yorubas who are totally unconnected in the topic.
Busy bodies that don't mind their business
Sooner or later it turns to Igbo and Yoruba
Hausas go to the market or churches and kill Igbos ,the Yoruba man will dance naked forgetting that Hausas don't discriminate when they kill
Any topic on nairaland connected or unconnected gets twisted by a bunch of Yorubas to an Igbo bashing
With calls of " leave Lagos"
And someone talks about peace and wants to apologize on my behalf

Is the oba not a fool
Didn't he speak like one
A property owned by an Igbo man in Lagos belongs to the Igbo man
He doesn't have to bow before you and acknowledge your presence to live in his own house
Until you folks understand that simple truth we won't make a headway
If you expect praises for that you will wait a long time,the world has to grow beyond your myopic views

I don't care who owns a house down my father's street in Igboland
Not my business
I don't lose sleep over that at all
I expect you to do same

I live in America
There is a nigerian family down my street,everyone else is white American
I don't bow before any of the Oyibo to get into my garage
And not once have I heard any of them demand I acknowledge I am a visitor
They understand that I own my property and they cannot trespass into it or demand praise from me
If you want to live in a democracy,you learn act to act in a democracy
This is 2015 not 1815

If you like drop dead
I ain't taking back everything you read me say
Just like I have every right to live and own property in the USA,Igbos have every right to live and own property in Lagos without apology
Deal with it

I know jare dear!

Ondo, a Yorubaland has always been a major oil producing state, while not even a teaspoon has been produced in Igboland. Ibos are counting on the fact that most Nigerians don't know the geographical locations of oil wells to lie about ibos having oil.

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?

[size=16pt]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.[/size]

I've read most posts relating to this issue, the thread u posted even support my view. Those that supported the oba are wrong , they know it and hide their statement under their personal hateful view of the ibos . By looking at what they said, u will know that they where tribalistic .but when the abuse of the obas position was abused, the point of discussion changed .
How many high ranking and respected yorubas hve u seen surporting the obas statement.

U can call the oba names and classify him as stupid , but once his subjects start reacting, hatefull words might become useless then o.
I still believe 90 % easterners living in lagos would love peace to reign , my fear is the 10 % like you who want lagos to go up in flames because of ur refusal to understand the sensibilities and political sensitiveness of another tribe.
