ElsonMorali: No we dont cos you guys are extremely malicious.,so any advise from you all is usually for our peril...We shall keep agitating and making as much noise as we like by any means necessary as long as we are stuck together in the name of 'one' Nigeria..no apologies. I actually guessed you are Yoruba from your comment just like i do others that sound like yours..not because they give me nightmares but because of their high nuisance level on threads that concerns Igbos...90% of the time,i am correct 4 Likes |

laribari:This guy you are so frustrated. I just pity you. At this rate, you will soon have stroke. For your information, there is nothing like Delta Igbo keep fooling yourself. I have never heard any Igbo man say he is Imo Igbo, Anambra lgbo, Abia Igbo etc. You are one of those deluded lost ship. God forbid. The stay at home pained the Buhari Goverment more than its paining you. For the fact that international media carried the news, its big success to IPOD. That shows IPOB control the people and not the shithole government. Sorry my Delta igbo wanabe 4 Likes |

Ziggylady: Yorubas are extremely malicious yet you flood Yoruba land to live in peace and raise families and prosper in business, yet Yorubas are extremely malicious? Now who is the malicious one? Nobody is stopping you from agitating and making noise about your proposed republic but you guys are already constituting yourselves into a nuisance. There are better ways to realize your Biafra, but you've chosen the impossible route. You can only achieve Biafra if you come cap-in-hand to become allies of Yorubas and other minority ethnic groups in Nigeria. With the Yorubas solidly behind you you'll achieve Biafra faster. That's sure But since you've allowed your parents to poison your mind about Yorubas then you'll continue to run in circles and not make any progress. And yes I'm proudly Yoruba. I don't hate Igbos. I don't even think about it. The only place I encounter that word "Igbo" is here, on Nairaland. And I guess that's the same for every other Nigerian who isn't Igbo. You'd think there wasn't any other tribe in Nigeria. Always whining about how much you are hated. Work with the Yorubas so that you can achieve freedom. 1 Like |

ElsonMorali:yorubas are insignificant figure in the quest for Biafra. Yoruba land has economically fallen to igbos. Population of Igbos migrating to stay and establish in Lagos, and Ogun state should worry you. Lagos has been colonized already. You should check the number of Buses that inter Lagos everyday, you will realize that Lagos is gone already. Igbos are fighting the Fulanis not you! Afonja, Lagos is gone cant you smell the coffee? The Yoruba factor is settled. You are busy shouting no cow colony but there is Igbo business colony all Afonja land. 3 Likes |

[quote author=Ziggylady post=68041362] Igbos 'flood' 'Yorubaland' because of variety of reasons...First of all this is 'one' Nigeria,therefore the mantra of 'yorubaland accomodating' anyone is nonsense..They have no freaking choice!..Yoruba generally dislike Igbos but are not courageous enough to carry out any 'progrom' of any sort..They would rather someone else do it while they work behind the scene..facts I believe you were not even conceived during the Babangida/Abacha era. When Babangida annulled the election results and the west was starting to boil guess what happened? Hundreds of thousands of Igbos packed themselves aboard trailers and headed to the east from the west for fear of their lives. I understand that chest beating is passed down from one Igbo generation to another genetically. The Yorubas love peace. The Hausas up north have been massacring you since time immemorial, yet you still go there because anywhere is better than home for you guys. My father retired as a top Direactor from FCAA(Feferal Civil Aviation Authority) when Lagos was the capital of Nigeria till Abacha completed the relocation...He retired and stayed back in Lagos because he had a thriving business then..That was how we his kids had something to do with Lagos...and that was how i got to know how Yorubas are and how their mind works. So your father trained you with money he earned as a NIGERIAN civil servant? What a shock!? He retired and stayed back in Lagos. Why didn't he retire to his village in the east? He had a thriving business. Where? In Yoruba land. Why didn't he go to the east to start a thriving business? You are just an ungrateful lout who thinks the average Yoruba person is out to get them when they don't even think about you on a normal day. The mulitplier effect of Lagos being the former Capital of a third-World country like Nigeria,having the most viable Sea-port,Airport and other FG-orchestrated infrastructure in Lagos and environs and by extention Sw is better imagined... Is Ibadan also a former Capital of Nigeria? How about Akure, Ogbomosho, Ilesha, Ogun, Ife and so on? Why are your people all over the place like lice? We are very different people,culturally and all..we also have very different history,therefore you have no right to tell us how to chart a course for ourselves.. I agree we are very very different people. But we haven't come to invade your home. You are the ones in our faces. Go back home then you'll have the moral gumption to call Yorubas unprintable names. Staying here and yarning rubbish about Yoruba mind is beneath you. Living in the midst of the people you so desperately hate must be an ulcer in your life. It is only a retard who will keep doing the same thing and expect different result,you just keep trying and adjusting to times while keeping the pressure on by any means necessary till we get our desired result.. I'm glad you used the word retard. Now look at all your efforts to achieve Biafra and tell me they aren't the same since the 60s. I do not hate Yorubas on a personal level and in the general sense, but i am honest enough to admit that politically most Igbos and Yorubas are extremely different with extremely divergent views. Is that what you tell yourself whenever you are with your Yoruba "friends" in real life? That you don't hate Yorubas on a personal level? That you hate them on a general level perhaps? You are living in denial. Let me open your eyes. You hate Yorubas and I'm sure you'd want to see them hurt deeply because of what you've heard about the civil war. It doesn't really matter. You know why? Yorubas are all out there trying to make a living and not exactly giving a flying fvck about your issues against them. Do yourself a favor and stop lying to yourself that you don't hate Yorubas. It's very obvious from your posts on Nairaland. At least be truthful and own up to that. 1 Like |

ElsonMorali:My Afonja Brother. We want dismantle the grip of Fulani men to power. You have water for ports which is in your region but its the Fulanis that control the ports while the Igbos control the business there. Yoruba land is up for grabs btw. Igbos and fulanis, thats why fulanis always fight lgbos. Afonja is busy selling every piece of grave yard they have Yesterday one Yoruba man put his house for sale and left the agent instruction that he does not want to sell to any lgbo man. 3 Likes 1 Share |

laribari: You are laughabe, very very laughable. No matter what rally you do, if people don't support you, the rally is meaningless. Same with a politician, no matter how how many rallies, if the people choose not to vote that politician, the rally was a waste. IPOB asked the people to sit at home and majority complied. What this shows is that the people support IPOB and that's what matters. The sit at home was not to show the Government of Nigeria, it was to show the world that the people support IPOB. For now, IPOB cannot do as much rallies as they used to because the proscription but the matter is court and they have wait because they are a non violent organisation. But it is disgraceful that your own country needs the military to fight unarmed IPOB but the same military cannot save you Nigerians from Boko Haram, Herdsman killers and Niger Delta militants who are all armed and killing people daily. There is nothing brave or victorious about Soldiers going to fight unarmed peaceful people, it is actually shameful and an abuse of human rights. You may be Delta Igbo, you may love Nigeria but that is not the issue. The question is does the majority in your area love Nigeria as much as you? That is what referendum is for which what IPOB wants. There is something called "right of self determination" which is enshrined in international law. It simply means that any group of people can agitate to have a separate country. Scotland had been part of Britain for over 300 years, but the Scots agitated to have their own separate country and they got referendum in 2014. Nigeria was created just the other day in 1914, so why do people find it hard to understand that Igbos have a right to a separate country? If the British who created Nigeria can give their own area, Scotland, the right to go or stay, then who are you as a Nigerian to be shouting "one Nigeria"? At the end of the day, you are just a British product as a Nigerian. So the Biafran is brainwashed for seeking his independence from Nigeria? Were the Scots brainwashed for seeking independence from Britain? Was East Timor brainwashed for seeking independence from Indonesia? Were Americans brainwashed for fighting for their independence from Britain? So Lugard came from Europe and created a country by shooting and subjugating your ancestors, his wife now came and bastardised your ancestors by naming them after a common River and you are here proud to be a "Nigerian". It is Lugard and his wife that determines your country and identity for you but when you see other Africans like IPOB who want to decide own country and identity for themselves, you call them brainwashed fools. Are you not ashamed of your self? Wake up and stop suffering from colonial mentality. You can love and believe in Nigeria but respect the rights if others who don't love or believe in Nigeria and want their independence. 6 Likes |

TimFisher:The only program I sometimes bumped into was their journalist hangout.Even stopped that soon as I saw they were extremely lopsided in their views.Never bothered watching tvc news itself,cause just knew it would never be objective,far as its owned by Tinubu. Then completely stopped watching any of their jaundiced programs when they yanked off all newspapers review and political analysis program on their sister then Radio continental,now Max radio FM station. You came to power based on the freedom of speech afforded you,but cannot even have the decency to allow even airing of views,talkless of dissenting views and opinion,soon as your party came to power. That's a sign of a station and ruling party member financed medium,that go to any length to destroy any minutest criticism of its government. 3 Likes |

[quote author=ElsonMorali post=68041945][/quote] Dude i am sure you understood the economic effects of the analogy i posted using my father??...was Lagos your making that he should leave the Capital of Nigeria then while you lots from Ogbomoso,Ekiti,Osun and ither enclaves flood the place like locusts while leaving your hinterlands to rot away??.. .Why should anyone be grateful to you??..did you get the job for him,pay our fees and gave us accomodation for free??...you are extremely delusional for expecting some sort of gratitude when you lots did not contribute to our success.... Hausas kill you lots in the north too,but because your lives mean nothing,you have decided to keep mute..Your headache... Anyway the crux of the matter is that generally,Yorubas are extremely malicious towards Igbos,therefore your advise is meaningless and useless because you only want Igbos to keep shut and be one Nigeria with you instead of agitating for a seperate country...

If you're tired if seeing Yoruba people whom you've claimed harbor malice towards you what's stopping you from relocating to the east? Or has anybody tied you down with chains? At bolded.
