"....This is why I don't blame Lagos state government officials trying through legislation to preserve the Yoruba character of Lagos by compelling Yoruba teaching in schools and also holding legislative deliberations in Yoruba..."

OP will you also not blame the FCT minister if Gwari is made compulsory in Abuja?

Lagos has always been distinct from the rest of the Yoruba cities...

...Lagos Colony was a British colonial possession centred on the port of Lagos in what is now southern Nigeria. Lagos was annexed on 6 August 1861 under the threat of force by Commander Beddingfield of HMS Prometheus who was accompanied by the Acting British Consul, William McCoskry. Oba Dosunmu of Lagos (spelled "Docemo" in British documents) resisted the cession for 11 days while facing the threat of violence on Lagos and its people, but capitulated and signed the Lagos Treaty of Cession.[1] Lagos was declared a colony on 5 March 1862.[2] By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population over 60,000.[3] In the aftermath of prolonged wars between the mainland Yoruba states, the colony established a protectorate over most of Yorubaland between 1890 and 1897.[4] The colony and protectorate were incorporated into Southern Nigeria in February 1906, and Lagos became the capital of the protectorate of Nigeria in January 1914.[2] Since then, Lagos has grown to become the largest city in West Africa, with an estimated metropolitan population of over 9,000,000 as of 2011.[5]

Leave Lagos alone and go fight for Ibadan, Abeokuta, Akure, Ado Ekiti, etc...

lol..meaning:Lagos was or is owned or own by the whites who colonised the Igbos?
Aworis who are Yorubas from Ife should not claim their ancestral land anymore even after the whites were unable to carry it to their native land after the possession.
Yorubas own all Yorubaland with their kith and kin no matter where they come from.Any attack on Ibadan,Osun,Ondo,Ekiti,Ogun,Lagos and even Kwara with 90% Yorubas and Okun is an attack on the Yoruba race..ask Ojuku.
No matter how much you shout and cry on the internet... Yoruba will continue to own Lagos as it was from inception before all the intruders came along.
This is why the economy and all other important indices for the growth of a state is in the hands of the Yorubas,Yorubas control the destiny of Lagos...no matter where they came from...IMMIGRANTS LIKE THE IGBOS WHO ARE PROVOKINGLY ANNOYING WILL HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME AT THE END OF THE DAY.A STITCH IN TIME,SAVES NINE.

wiseEast:

because of culture clash with others out there/

i.e ibos are those without any knowledge of igbo culture.

Ibo=Igbo
Igbo=Ibo

They do not boast because they have made money. That is too simplistic .
Are they the only ones who have made money? Are there no Hausas or Yorubas with money?
Many boast who HAVE NO MONEY.
The issue is about the fundamental nature of a people going back to antiquity.They boast because they are crude and crass with little civilization or culture. They boast because deep down there is a profound sense of inadequacy which partially fuels the acquisition of wealth.
We must ask the question what really is the purpose of wealth? Does a man become so wealthy that he develops wings and starts to fly.
The Igbo mind set is that when a man becomes rich he is above those without money and he can if he likes order them to be flogged if they offend him. The Igbo man has no other concept of "Now that I am rich what next?". No sense of community that does not involve massaging his ego. If he engages in charity it is to boost his importance and ego. That is why titles are so important to them.
An Igbo man cannot accept anonymity if he has money. People MUST KNOW HIM



The truth is that money itself is viewed as a tool for oppression. In Igboland money can permit you to silence your elders. The Igbo world view is that when those who have money are talking those without should be silent no matter how old or experienced.

When people say Igbos shoul invest home I laugh. It will not happen because there is no name to be made anymore in Onitsha or Nnewi
It must be Ragos or Abuja

Ah.......our favorite pretentious charlatan is here again. Today he's also a psycho-analyst among his many professions and areas of expertise. Don't kid yourself. I know a million and one Igbos that are a thousand times the person you are. And infinitely more "cultured". I'm not here to engage in any petty ethnic sniping (only uncultured cretins think they have a monopoly of spewing bigoted stereotypes) so go peddle your racist horseshiiit where it belongs. There's no shortage of appropriate articles to pour your illiterate bile.

Cultured? One would think the clown comes from Paris or Rome or Venice or something. Cultured?

Very stupid write up. As you said, Fulani herdsmen slaughter people all over the country, they dont attract that level of hatred

Boko Haram and islamic fundamentalists up North slaughter people, they dont attract that level of hatred

Niger Delta militants go on the rampage destroying Oil installation, they dont attract hatred.

The Igbo man opens his mouth and talks, they this is the worst form of hatred.

Something is wrong with Nigerians. What is wrong with Igbos saying that Lagos is no mans land? If Yorubas like, they can Enugu is no mans land, most Igbos would not care.

Igbos are not in Nigeria to please Yorubas or Hausas and if the other ethnic groups dont like it, they should come together and agree to grant Igbos their separate country. Why would anyone want to be with someone they dont like?

But to be hating on Igbos with one side of the mouth while insisting on one united Nigeria is ridiculous.

Nigerians should learn to take Igbos are they are or grant them their own country. Put up, or shut up.

I million gbams... see finishing

You have said it all.

Very sensible comment if not the most sensible. Don't mind that idiot of an OP claiming Igbo and spewing rubbish . Even with all the atrocities and havoc being committed by Fulani herdsmen and u claim they are still not hated then the only reason for the hatred towards Igbos is pure jealousy . What else could it be ? I don't care about lagos or anywhere else but truth is as long as we remain citizens of this country then Lagos just like every other state belongs to all Nigerians . Very senseless commenters, lazy set of urchins

Thing is in most places, the most affluent people tend to be politicians, corporate executives, industrialists etc who tend to be refined. Anambrarians, while we have many in this professional class to rival almost anyone, also have a disproportionate number of affluent people who are traders. A great many of them lack a certain refinement and display their wealth and success in vulgar ways. These are the boastful class. Your average Imo, Enugu or Ebonyi indigene are not really like that. The state that is most similar in that character bu ndi Abia - also because of the huge class of traders.[/quot

Dude stop spewing gibberish coz u disgust me . What mumu class are you talking about ? The one being exhibited by lawmakers fighting in the national assembly and disgracing the country or what , look man you don't have a point . You think is easy doing business in nigeria and be successful at it ? Why not venture into business afterall the market is open for everyone . Am not even surprised that u r too daft to realise that business itself is a form of education . I don't even know why am quoting someone that is so dense that he referred to politicans as being refined. What do u know about politics ?dude am seriously ashamed of your education coz it seems to be a waste

igbodefender:
I liked so many points in your original post, but not this one. This one is sounding anti Anambra and anti Abia. Obi, Mba nu!

That has been the aim surprised u didn't see it from the word go . Senseless post and senseless op

The op is among the few sensible igbos you can find anywhere. Very refined individual. He needs to talk sense to his fellow igbos.

Obi1kenobi:


I'm not insulting Anambrarians or anything. Anambra is the historical and cultural heartland of ala Igbo. Anambra has produced a lot of accomplished sons in all fields of endeavour. Probably only Ogun surpass us in this. It's still the truth though that Anambrarians can be very arrogant in a way many find repellent. Obiano's statement the other typifies this classic arrogance. It's also no surprise or coincidence that the other Igbo governor to have made similarly provocative statements in an Abian.
Anambra and Abia. Onitsha and Aba. They represent tthe ultimate stereotypes of Ndigbo.

mr man. if you re not from Anambra. you re finished.

the op is not igbo

nku5:
Obiano's yarn was unnecessary, poorly researched and loud. Na wetin

That Obiano statement wasn't necessary at all. He just messed up.

worthy of note here is that the Op has never defended Igbo nor Igbo interest here

so we can categorically categorise him as one of those efulefus in the class of Joe yorubakwe

obi1kenobi1 is not Igbo but Lagos Igbo please

Igbo amaka

You actually have a point, but you were trying hard to be objective which made you look like a hater and the level of your objectivity, questioned.

You people here take things too serious!
