ha ha disintegration of Nigeria. Goodluck with that, how can a group of people who cant sit down and speak with one voice profit from the disintegration of Nigeria. It's like comparing a family with a wealthy father with 3 chilidren. These 3 children cant agree about the color the house should be painted talkless of their father's legacy. What do you think will happen when the father dies and lives no will. You think there will be peace, each child will scheme to gain an upper hand. This is the same way , Biafra will look if they seceede - but we know secession is next to impossible in Africa it's against the rules . You need to start a war and probably loss a couple of million lives before anyone looks at you.
Think Sudan.

If we can look back to the source of this yoruba - ibo problem . The ibo people actually started it, the same way the place this country into a spiral of unending coup plots and military rule. The ibo people used to claim the north was there problem and that northerners are killing them or kill them whenever their is a riot . Today, its yoruba land. We hear very little of the north nowadays, I guess the south east has accepted the north actually does have an upper hand against them regardless of their low education levels.

The yoruba people seem to understand that if they do not assert their historical and cultural ownership of Lagos state it will turn into another port-harcourt , where the owners of the land cant even speak out. Again, the east remains bias - they want to live in your land enjoying equal right but they are never willing to grant such benefits to outsiders in their lands. The results of the recent presidential election prooves this.

The results from Lagos prooves that Lagos is the most mordern and tolerant city in Nigera - citing the victory of the ibo aspirants in elections held in Lagos. It's impossible for a yoruba man born and bred in Lagos - even married to an Igbo woman to achieve such a feat.

One may claim that their victory is due to their numbers but we need to sit down and ask ourselves will the ibo people settle down in Lagos and feel so free as to compete in elections held in Lagos with hopes to win. Let's ignore the fact that they ran under the banner of the PDP (which is strongly correlated with their victory).

Ibo land needs to accept that nobody in Nigeria is actually after them but thier guilt of a cessation attempt and Nzoegwu's evils haunt thier conscience whenever they interact politically with other Nigerians. We have forgotten this however, but as long as they support the individuals who continue to fight for this "pipe dream biafra" they will always feel inferior because that is what biafra symbolizes the inferiority of the ibo people in this great country called Nigeria.

**grins** Deflective syndrome. Why do you yorubas worry more about the failure or success of Biafra than the prospect of Odua. The Igbos you complain about are ready to renegotiate nigeria, why don't you cowards take advantage of that? Simple answer-you fear the north will suyalize odua people in Emirate kwara and deny you that land, and the Igbos may even help them. That's why the talk of Biafra scares the hell out of you guys.Children of a thousand Cowards. Ask for your own country For Once in your lifetime. SMH **lols**

On the contrary, Ndiigbo feel superior to all Nigerian groups, and we have many reasons to. Biafra is the pride of all Igbo people, it's a rallying point for us, and reminds us of what we can achieve when United. Ojukwu swore that Biafra had the strongest army in black Africa, and he proved it, for even with the help of the British, USSR and Egyptians, Biafrans killed more Nigerian soldiers, without those foreign powers, We would have over ran Nigeria in a matter of days.


Ph is in the hands of Ikwerres, can we say the same of Lagos? What ever happened to the Aworis and Egun natives that you Yorubas from Osun, Ondo and the rest have over ran Lagos, the Nigerian factor is currently blinding them, but in an Independent Odua, they will demand for total control of their lands and send you leeches back to Osun and co.


Ndiigbo have no guilt whatsoever for attempting to leave the Zoo, we are only angry that we didn't succeed at the first attempt.


Nzeogwu acted on his own, at the time of his coup, Ndiigbo controlled 2 of the four regions of Nigeria, change in power/ government was the last thing we needed.


No, we don't feel the North have upper hand over us, we just realized that with their southern vassals, they are always going to be a formidable opponent in Nigerian politics.

Segun Adewole, Igbos do not live in yorubaland. Have you ever seen an Igbo man in muddy Osun forest?. Igbos go to lagos where oil money from eastern states like Imo, Abia, Rivers, Delta was used to develop. Igbos do not live in mud houses. They can't survive in your mud-built yorubaland.

Is that why, they run away from the mud houses in igboland and its gully erosion? Well, I know of many Igbos in osun state and some of them are actually living in mud houses. Some of their houses and towns in alaigno are even worse than mamy towns in osun state. Ive been to an igbo town called obodo ukwu before and i know what i saw. Some even come to yorubaland and live in old decayed houses without toilet. It does not matter if the house is already crumbling; Igbo's will stay there so long as it is close to their business. Mr, kindly tell another lie. I know your pride-induced blindness will not make you face realities. So, Pls continue in thy self-disillusionment.

Yoruba's are not better than anybody. Nobody is better than nobody. But everybody must be ready to do to others what they want others to d to them. You can't sideline other tribes in your igboland and come to the southwest expecting to be made governors.

Many yorubas despise yorubas in kwara and call them afonja (betrayers).

This statement reveals your absolute ignorance concerning the Yoruba.

"Afonja" does not mean "betrayers". Rather, it was the name of the Yoruba founder of the blessed city. Even indigenes of Ilorin themselves describe it as Ilorin Afonja (i.e. Ilorin of Afonja), and the family of Afonja still live there near the Emir's palace.

Clannish hairy cannibal, and supreme coward like those Igbo Chiefs who clapped for the Oba in his presence - yet ran to cyberspace to beat their chests and cry like silverback gorillas - keep my d!ck out of ya mouth, yo flamin phaggot.

When did I ever say that Ijebus are superior to other Yorubas? Yes, I do defend Ijebus when folks have something stupid to say, but no one is superior to the other.

How about answer the question? Why are Igbo villages 99.999% indigenous? Is it cos of the innate extreme clannishness, intolerance, and cannibalism? And is that what induced the Igbotic insecurities and low self-esteem that gave the average the need to always make noise everywhere for their non-achievements?

Yorubas are competitive and survive based on pluralism, so there will always be disagreements, and that's understand cos the advanced civilisation. However, we're one and we've always lived together since time immemorial. When Oyo reigned supreme - Ibadan was the melting point of all Yorubas. Ditto during the western region. Lagos has always been another melting point for all Yorubas since the 17th century and foreigners - hence its cosmopolitan nature.

But where the fvck is melting point of all Igbos? - none. Anambra mofos don't like other Igbos. Wawas and Ngwas are still complaining about other Igbos colonising their lands. Abia stays sacking other Igbos from it civil service. Ebonyi keeps getting looked on. Delta Igbo don't feel Igbo enough, and they have identity crisis cos Igbos don't see them as Igbos. Onitsha Igbos don't feel Igbos. Nri and Aro are two gods who can't stand each other etc.. grin Pathetic folks!

Anyway, I have been reading how you muthaphuckas have been disrespecting the throne of a first class Yoruba king. I dare you lot to make Agbaje win on Saturday, and see if that won't be the beginning of ya end in Lagos. I know better cos most of you cowards won't even vote - stupid muthaphukas. Always running their mouths and giving useless ultimatums.

Ya Ohane-fool ultimatum expires today - if you lot don't dethrone the King by 12a.m tonight, then you're the most cowardly ethnic group ever!

Why is it that all Igbo towns are mostly made up of indigenous Igbos
People will rather go to Calabar, Port Harcourt or Uyo than to stop at Onitsha which is closer.
Is it that Igbos are not friendly or there are not enough opportunities outside buying and selling in these igbo towns and cities.
Speaking as a neutral, I would say of all the groups in your country they are the least friendly. They are quite hostile to visitors and it's real work trying to live amongst them.

It is something you pple she be ashamed of and work on it. You barely find other tribes in the Igboland it's a fact from someone who has travelled to Anambra and Imo state.

This is why yoruba scream and cry hostile treatment in igboland. It is because the government refuses to give them free handouts and free lands in the state

Yoruba community in Enugu State has cried out over what it described as total neglect and marginalisation by the present Enugu State government led by Sullivan Chime.

The aggrieved members of Yoruba community, who made their feelings public through their leader, Mr. Ade Johnson Adeyelu, regretted that the group which was formed in 1990 and registered under then Anambra State Government had never before now experienced marginalisation in the state.

Adeyelu said that his people voted for state government during the last general election and wondered why Chime’s government has since inception not cared for their welfare.

His words: “We have passed through series of military governors and military administrators down the line to the civilian governo[/b]rs.

[b]“Over these years, we have enjoyed some sort of patronage from the government, patronage in the sense that some Yorubas then were given the opportunity to be members of the Muslim Welfare Board. As a result of that they were given one or two slots to participate in Hajj Operations in Medina. From that 1990, down to when Chimaroke became governor, we still enjoyed the slots that were given to the Yoruba community in Enugu.

“There is no doubt we are facing a lot of problems in this state. We have not benefited anything from the present administration in Enugu State. We as a community we have participated in almost all the activities of the state. The last straw that broke the camel’s back was the present Hajj operation, which we recommended people to participate. But up till now, there is no single Yoruba man that belongs to the Yoruba community that was given any slot to participate in the Hajj operation.”

Adeyelu recalled that since governor Chime came on board, he had written about five letters seeking for audience with him, to let his government know the problems of the Yoruba community but unfortunately none of the letters was replied.

He also expressed disappointment that Chime does not care and had not asked leaders of non-indigenes in his state the problems their various groups are facing in the state, just as he regretted that the immediate past administration cancelled the allocation of land given to the Yoruba community to build its secretariat by the former military governor of the state, Navy Captain Mike Agbaje.

The secretariat, he said, would have served as a centre where the Yoruba cultural heritage would have been sold to the people, adding that all the promises of re-allocation of another land to the community made by the past administration, did not yield fruitful dividend until its tenure expired in 2007.

Besides, Adeyelu advised all members of the Yoruba community in the state to remain calm, law abiding and loyal not only to their host state but to the Federal Government as there is still hope for a better tomorrow for them.

Who really wants a community that constantly wants free handout from tax payers money. Even the hausa community never dared it in igboland and they outnumber yoruba there.

Ever wonder apart from yoruba, noone else cries of marginalization in any part of igboland be it SS or SE despite the non indigenous SS and northerners outnumber them there.

We actually grateful you people are not heading g to igboland. The few we ready got are just nuisance demanding free stuff as if your government ever did so for any Igbo in lagos. Abeg don't come. Igboland is not a land for lazy ppl

My friend Shut up as if you don't have mud houses in igbo land. You are just a kid spitting childish jargons

There's no mud house in ANY city in Any part of Nigeria talkless of a city named a capital city excluding your SW.
Even common toilet is a rare thing in una lands. Tufiakwa underdeveloped pigs that's all una are.

[s]This is why yoruba scream and cry hostile treatment in igboland. It is because the government refuses to give them free handouts and free lands in the state



Who really wants a community that constantly wants free handout from tax payers money. Even the hausa community never dared it in igboland and they outnumber yoruba there.

Ever wonder apart from yoruba, noone else cries of marginalization in any part of igboland be it SS or SE despite the non indigenous SS and northerners outnumber them there.

Why is Ibo land cursed with non receptiveness to outsiders? That is the question on the lips of everyone here.
