This is not an ethnic attack on any tribe but a moment of reflection ...this write up is coming not as a result of any phobia but due to uneasy tension in Nigeria and this is unacceptable...this was the state Europe was centuries ago so we should out grow this

I notice that anambra state used the term home for all and they are okay to do that and they will invite strangers to come do business there just like Dubai but when it comes to the issue of Lagos which was Nigerian former capital built by the collective sweat of all Nigerian especially niger delta oil..some group of people are claiming they built Lagos . it baffles any logically thinking mind how they built it..its like gwari will come out tomorrow to say that they built Abuja ...yet we know that oil money from south south built Abuja not the back burden carrying tribes (with respect to their culture ) built Abuja


Coming to frosty and nasty tension or relations between igbo and Yoruba in Lagos ...I experienced where a Yoruba man was telling an ibibio man to go back to his village I personally asked the man where are you from he said his father is from ekiti... Then I told him he is not a lagosian also. I think xenophobia is high and mind you igbo still have 101% right in Lagos so is the Hausa ijaw or edo man...

If you look at this

The people in Lagos had a head start
They were the first that interacted with the European first

They had access to education first by the virtue of their location

They had the space when igbo were fighting war of Biafra for three solid years
So they should have capitalized on this

They had most of the firm during the infamous indigenization decree of 70s which favoured the west becuase igbos then were having post traumatic stress from war and broke with just £20 left for them

They also had the space when they scared and chased the Ghana people away ...

They have produced president two times


But igbo never had these opportunities yet they are making a mark with their niger delta counterparts . what I am finding it difficult to understand why the hate


Personally I think this is inability to compete ...in today's global economy nobody runs a welfarist system and igbo are competitive in nature and I think other tribes such as Yoruba should be competitive . ijebu to my own understanding is . it will be nice if we can live together as a country and not treating one another as a virus

As you read this ask yourself why the hate, ask yourself why the lagoon talk ask yourself why was Dr. Ariyo honored ask yourself why is Daniel Kanu venting anger and firing all cylinders

To me it boils down to one thing..Blackman propensity to violence and pull him down syndrome


Let us not be jealous of people success let us understudy and compete with them. Yoruba should learn how to accept others the way they are and not expecting others to act like them and igbo with their south south cousins should learn how to let go and not offend the sensibilities of others with their culture ..Yoruba are cultural and averse to changes so they should learn that also and don't use civil war to judge others .I have seen good people from yoruba ijaw edo etc so its pointless to hate

We should compete and think our of box instead of making ourselves a laughing stock globally


That was what china did to USA


Have a blessed day

I'm just here to read.

One Nigeria

United We Stand.

Op, name is Nnamdi Kalu.

And then this is top-notch points.

I with shift and as usual the frustrated beings will come and vent their frustrations on you.

Be on guard, we will fire anybody that puts head full of hate here.

Yeah why d hatered is only in Nigeria dat i know dat nigerians can deport themselves without any reason,when d igbo now started crying dat they want biarafia u said they should shutup why deporting Nigerians in Nigeria if u still want them just my own opinion thou.

You are correct and that act was wrong but fashola begged and told ibo he is sorry

Remember Yoruba and Hausa were also deported

This is not a tribal bashing just made my point from objective and historical point of view

Thanks anyway ...lol

My brother, there's nothing like one Nigeria.
That's what GEJ counted on thereby siting all his projects in The North to the detriment of his brothers down South.
Had it been he damned the consequences, gave us 2nd Niger bridge, gave us Ibaka deep sea port .
All our people would have come back home, the Yoruba people knows this, that's why they made sure Ibaka is not born!
How about the refinery in Kaduna? Are there refining ground nut?
Ok shebi na nuclear plant na Akwa Ibom surepass.
Until all this nonsense stops, then we can truly say one Nigeria

The writer,you are not guilty, it is simply because the Yorubas are too hospitality and friendly.If Yorubas have given the kind of treatment the hausas gives the Igbos from the genesis,you will not be saying this trash

Your right I think we have to find a balance

OP, its a pity your post smacks of falsehood and lies. As regards accomodation you cannot compare Lagos and Anambra. You said Anambra is home to all, how come i was attacked at Onitsha bridge head a few years ago, just becos i am ndi Yoruba? How many non Igbos are in that your home for all compared to Lagos?
You did not see anything wrong with Achebe's rants about Yorubas in his books? Arthur Eze's insults? Nnamdi Kalu's incessant incitement for all Yorubas to be killed? Asking Ibos to boycott all Yoruba churches etc.

But you keep talking about the Oba and Ariyo. So how many Ibos have been attacked in Lagos or any where in the south west since then? Your assertion that Lagos is built with Oil money is terribly false, as at 1979 when Lagos was already a big city oil was contributing less than 30% of total government revenue, even now Laglos generates more than 70% of government's non oil revenue. Lagos generates far more revenue to government than it receives, so how can you say Lagos was developed by oil money?
Lagos has ceased to be a federal capital since 1991, how come you people have not gone to Abuja en masse to claim the place as no mans land?

Baawaa:

Foolishness at its peak. It seems these guys have forgotten those who really hate them. They have forgotten how the hausas killed more than 20 thousands of them. I'm sick of hearing this igbo rubbish everyday.Funk it!

My brother,Yorubas don't have problem with any tribe,look at what happened in 2011.The Yoruba voted for Jonathan,then Jonathan don't have money to waste on campaigns but he won the election without hassle.
Let us be sincere with our self,your people normally abuse privilege given to them,by going beyond their boundaries.

I have also been attacked ...my phone was stolen along ikeja along in my car will I term all Yoruba criminal ..hell no . I have some good folks that are Yoruba and I have been told by Yoruba landlord that they don't rent to igbo does it mean all Yoruba are igbo haters ..oh hell no...we have to know that we just can't generalize it ain't working and good
Do you want me to believe that oil money was never a used to build at least third mainland bridge and dredge tin can

Noted bro ...but can you explain so that they can know how they abuse privilege but try to know the psychology of an igbo man bro

He hates to be dictated to
He hates to be threatened
He hates injustice
He appreciates brotherhood
He makes any person his friend

He might be stubborn and aggressive but he is forgiving easily

The problem with the African mind is that it knows the truth, but will try as much as it can to suppress or reject it, even when its starring it at the face........

Always trying to find faults on others but won't embrace its own fault

calling anambra home for all doesn't make anambra home to the hausas and yorubas you hate so much. If anambra was lagos, we would all have been pushed out by you guys. If you know what lagos looked like when it was capital compared to its recent look, you won't claim oil money developed it. The whole lagos rottened but fashola restored it. Are you trying to tell me all the projects built by fashola are due to niger delta resources? Do you know what lagos rakes as IGR?
don't forget that cocoa and groundnut money also built nigeria

stop being silly. Who are you to tell a yoruba man which village to claim? We are all nigerians but there are boundaries. He can't go and claim home in another region but can do so in yoruba land so long he's yoruba. @bold. What silly right other than to live and trade? Can you be in governance and say much? Can you control the land? No, cos such can't be tolerated of a stranger in anambra, the so-called home for all.

and so what?

tonychristopher:
They had the space when igbo were fighting war of Biafra for three solid years
So they should have capitalized on this

so you mean the igbos would have also had lagos if not for the war? So yorubas were never

tonychristopher:
They had most of the firm during the infamous indigenization decree of 70s which favoured the west becuase igbos then were having post traumatic stress from war and broke with just £20 left for them

no one hates you. Stop trying to steal land belonging to others.

you call land grabbing and insult others competition?

As you read this ask yourself why the hate, ask yourself why the lagoon talk ask yourself why was Dr. Ariyo honored ask yourself why is Daniel Kanu venting anger and firing all cylinders

dr ariyo was honoured cos he voiced out against landgrabbers. Nnamdi kanu. Is venting anger cos he's an oil thief

To me it boils down to one thing..Blackman propensity to violence and pull him down syndrome [/quote]nobody is pulling you down. They are simply preventing you from stealing their ancestral wealth. Had It been they. Are doing sucj to you in your land, fine.

ok, let's see below

tonychristopher:

He hates to be dictated to

And such a person wants to live in a sane society? Boot he and his lawlessness out

tonychristopher:
He hates to be threatened

But loves to abuse and insult his hosts.

tonychristopher:
He hates injustice

He calls due punishment injustice as can be seen from the way they are reacting to the bombing of pirates in calabar.

tonychristopher:
He appreciates brotherhood

But Wants to break up the nigerian brotherhood. Wants biafra and still wants nigeria.

tonychristopher:
He makes any person his friend

everyone does that

tonychristopher:
He might be stubborn and aggressive but he is forgiving easily

How come they hate yorubas and hausas so much?

Pls stop sugarcoating wickedness.

They are friendly and live neighbours ...I think you have a challenge with strangers apart from igbo. I think you should change the mindset
