Greetings, my dear friends.
*Now let's reason together and think about my counter views on Igbo bashing as expressed below*
______&&&&&&&-----------
But ask yourself, did the Igbos put guns on anybody's head before buying up Alaba, Ajegunle, isolo and Oshodi in Lagos.
Did they use juju before the Ibadan surrendered Iwo Road to them?
And what were we looking at before the Igbos took over Isida and Adeti in Ilesa.
Where were the YORUBAS when the Igbos thrived and built 90% of the Hotels at Abuja. Was there a law that excluded the YORUBAS from selling building materials? Dei Dei building materials market in Abuja is 90 % Igbo owned.
So the more we point one finger at the Igbos, the more we have the other four fingers pointing at our laziness and lack of initiative as a society.
The YORUBAS should have been better with all our education, but we may be worse that the Fulanis who just roam around the bush.
Why? Because we lack the entrepreneurship spirit. We just want salaries from doing 8am to 5pm job. We proceed in foolishness and we persist in hoping to reap plenty without showing hard. The Igbos are different, hence we are now jealous and envious.
We love wasteful parties and Aso Ebi. Just a little business without even making any profit yet, we usually call musicians to spay money like coffetti .
Many of us are cheering the killing of Igbo youths agitating for Biafra by the Army mostly out of hate and jealousy, while we believe that Nnamdi Kanu and his supporters have taken the wrong route of subversion and attempting to divide the nation, but we are equally held down by the same issues that gave rise to IPOB, youth unemployment, poor infrastructure, poverty and hopelessness in the midst of plenty, poor leadership etc
Where are all the Board Members of Ebenezer Obey today? Where is lawyer Omoyinmi and Lanre Badmus? Where is Oroki Social Club of Osogbo? Where is Felates of Ilesa and the likes whose trade mark was to bring Sunny Ade to Ilesa every Xmas, to waste all income gathered for the year?
The Yoruba society wasted their leading lights on excessive consumption and wasteful attitudes. We wasted our capital on frivolous social gatherings.
We took religion to ridicoulous levels, such that the wealthiest pastors and churches are now Yorubas. But all the wealth extracted by the churches from the Yoruba nation is also merely flaunted to show who's God is the most miraculous.
So we have become paupers and destitutes, as the Yoruba nation cannot now pay salaries. Pensions are owed for years.
Tell me, is Osun State filled with human beings or goats to have tolerated Aregbesola, when they rejected Akande. Say it loud, is the Constituted Authority of Ibadan sane to just bring about 21 Obas from nowhere to receive salaries, where there is no money to reopen Ladoke Akintola University?
Are the Ondos so wise to have allowed Mimiko to devastate their terrain as to be now saddled with 12 months salary arrears? What of Ekiti with rabble rousing Fayose and the intellectually arrogant Fayemi?
Even Lagos, there is nothing to write home about it, despite all the hype.
But the Igbos are hard workers. Let us not continue to deceive ourselves. 20 of their young boys can live in the shop from where they sell goods. There is no place too dirty or remote for them to hibernate and incubate their ideas. Give them 5 years, you will see them buy and take over all shops and lands.
True, some of them are criminals, but majority of the Igbo youths build and build physical structures away, while the YORUBAS are content with looking for salaried jobs, so that they can have siesta in the afternoons and then attend parties on Saturdays. Then spend Sundays in church wishing and praying for divine miracles.
How foolish, as the Igbo people are meeting and strategizing on Sunday, so that they can gather money and come and buy the houses and lands owned by our Yoruba fathers.
Whether we like it or not, Obokungbusi Town Hall will soon be on concessional PPP sale. The Igbos will buy it. The proceeds will be used to pay backlog of salaries owed to impoverished Ijeshas. It will come willy nilly.
It will happen even in a declared Oduduwa Republic. Afterall, the Chinese, the Lebanese and the South Africans are buying us out with reckless abandon. See how ShopRite is buying up everywhere. I heard that they bought Owena Motel estate in Akure. How come we did not sell it to the Igbos?
We shall continue to grumble and hate the Igbos until eternity. Unless we spy on them, copy their ways and imbibe their can do attitude.
The Yoruba nation and society have been pauperised and destituted. In desperation, we shall soon start to behave like the Almajiris' in the North.
In grinding poverty and out of jealousy, the Almajiris of the North regularly loot Igbo shops and businesses. Very soon Yoruba urchins will start looting too to show that they hate the Igbos.
Even some of us here will defend it to show our hatred for the Igbos. Whereas, the looting is as a result of hunger and uselessness of our society.
How sad for the Yoruba Nation.
COPIED.

Thank you
Please tell them to stop bashing Igbo people

Igbo amaka

Chestbeating as usual…… .you own everything but you still shout marginalization….. You develpoed the whole world but your SE is not developed.
You cant do intermarriage among yourselves and you here screaming other tribes hate you.
Anyways, keep living in delusion

Please open another Igbo thread

Please open another Igbo thread

Waste of time… ..you can take a horse to river but you cant force it to drink water.
The above sums up the igbo race and the usual victim mentality

Igbo amaka meanwhile

They will avoid this thread like a plague.
Just watch!

People tend to deliberately misinterprete the issues of marginalisation against the Igbo. All the pride and confidence or 'chest beating' as some prefer is borne out of personal effort and self help. So they are perfectly right to blow their trumpets and brag.

However, some will myopically or mischievously attack them and say that they boast of developing everywhere buy won't develop their own place. That is where the issue comes in. The Igbo man is not looking for handouts or unnecessary advantage over others so no one will hold it over him tomorrow. However, he despises injustice particularly when it is deliberately skewed against him just because he's Igbo. Where is the government presence in the East as in other parts of the country? Why won't his ports be allowed to work to ease his business? Why must he struggle more than others to meet the abnormally high cut off marks set for him compared to the ridiculously low marks for others? Why is he now expected to go home and do for himself while others get theirs done by the FG? Is he not entitled to federal intervention too?

These are just a few of the burning issues and if there's a level playing ground for all, the Igbo will excel even more as it is in his nature. Let others blow their trumpets as he blows his. Same way if you feel all Nigerian regions are affected by problems, raise ur voices and speak out too. If u can't, don't begrudge him his ability to. He's not ur mouthpiece. Like the op said, the Igbo didn't point guns at anyone to make their acquisitions. It was and is simple business.

OP, God bless you....truth is bitter but liberates

And I must read this chauvinistic trash?
