The bold part is true, I agree with you. A lot has to be done to check this. The problem with my people is that they don't like to hear the truth, when you point out certain facts to them they shout you down and call you all sorts of names. Some even called me a Yoruba boy recently.
Life is not all about shouting and anger; it could be much better. I think a lot of people are still very bitter because of the civil war. i myself get sad sometimes when I think read those books and all that but we must move ahead. there is nothing we can do about yesterday but we have today and the future ahead of us. You cannot move forward when you are weighed down by bitterness and hate. Not all of us are like this though but I pray that the majority of the bitter ones find the will and strength to come out of it. cry cry
Amen. I pray so too.

May God bless us all

Have you even made any sense now?

In Dubai how many of the people are indigenous to Dubai make up the total population? Even in the US what is the population of native americans? But nobody has gone there to say no man's land. So because of uncontrolled migration to Lagos we should now behave like the land belongs to everybody.

Is Onitsha or Kaduna or Benue no-man's land too? Can you go there and call those places no man's land?

Is Onitsha or Kaduna or Benue former federal capitals?

Chimamanda is not a nobel laureate, and even if she was, it doesn't make her right in everything. Oh...and it's prize not "price".

Babe I'm still waiting for you to give instances cos I can give you numerous instances where I have been harassed in the course of doing my business in Lagos and for being Nyamiri and a Christian in the North.

[size=14pt]The problem here is that most of all she is saying is coming from the Biggot that she now shares a bed and call husband.



Nothing marriage no go cause. Deperation to answer married. Naturally igbo women are conservative and dont dable into politics unless something is wrong as with wat the oba said.


This one is genetically corrupted by the ofe-MANU bigot she shares bed with, fact.[/size]

Even before reading this shyte, I already told myself that this must have said by a yoruba-dick sucker. She confirmed it a few paragraphs later.

Nne, your surname shows that you are no longer Igbo. Even an osu is better than you. Stop calling yourself Igbo and face your new tribe. Ashawo!
I am Igbo and I think you are nasty, ignorant and stupi.d, with the IQ of a retar.ded mosquito.

I have said it several times that it makes no sense calling Lagos a no-man's-land. It is very disrespectful and provocative. What we need is mutual respect to live together. My people should stop all these silly talk of taking over Lagos, that they feed the Yoruba, that others are lazy, all these rubbish don't make any sense.

I also do no support when Yorubas say they are 'accomodating' us. How exactly do they 'accommodate# us? We pay for lands we get, we pay rents for our houses and shops/office spaces, we pay our taxes and all that so I just don't get it. Do they give us these things for free? If they do then they can say they are 'accommodating' us but as far as I know, that statement makes no sense. I can't imagine a british telling another british that he is being 'accommodated' in his own country. embarassed Only in Nigeria will you hear such!

That said, I don't see any need for this unnecessary aggression towards the Yoruba. As far as I know, they are a nice group of people and very wise too. Tribalism cuts across all tribes so let us all not single out a particular tribe. I have lived in the North, SE & SW and I can tell you that I noticed tribalism amongst the Hausa, Yorubas and Igbos! shocked shocked

One love to all. cool
Yorubas are accommodating because we could give you South African treatment.. After all you pay your money to go to South Africa too and to rent house there.

Please use your head, Nigerians in SA are foreigners but Igbos in the SW are citizens in their own country. You cannot claim to be accommodating a fellow citizen? undecided

If you can muster enough courage to declare a sovereign Odua republic and break out of Nigeria then you can compare both scenarios.

She has said nothing but placate her husband's people. Did the she goat ask about how all those Lagos developments came about. The finance and the manpower?

If it is yorubaland, let them develop it with their own resources. Why come down to South East and beg for oil?

Are you saying that the development we see in Lagos was solely done by us? grin grin grin grin grin Lagos is a cosmopolitan city and was collectively developed by all Nigerians.

Last time I checked, the bulk of the oil that has been used in running this country was from the SS not SE, please stop this self-deception, it will take you nowhere.

Even Dim Ojukwu, the Gburugburu himselfwould be disowned, excommunicated and ostracised, if he writes this.

But historically and by default, people kick against non-tribesman being at the decision-making level and our flippant comments about “taking over the land” is not helping matters either! Why do we want to “take over” another man’s land? It wasn’t bare land before people came and developed it. It’s people’s ancestral homes, and even in a democracy where many are working tirelessly to water the progressive idea of ONE NIGERIA, it is still important we recognize and help preserve each other’s heritage. For only then can we truly build the foundation for lasting synergy and proudly BECOME ONE, for the greater good of OUR LAND.
