Osu, there was nothing like Bini empire, the only empire pre colonial Nigeria was Oyo. Lagos was never under Bini

Ohaneze should mind their Igbo land and stop including Lagos as their territory.
Lagos is "no man's land."

Yes, with all the political thuggery in the SW since the days of Akintola till today, we've been "learning" how to live peacefully among others from Yorubas. Only Yorubas are known for peace even though they're the ones clashing with Hausas in Ife and Lagos and we're not.
Simply going out on election day to vote and mind your business is "hateful, bitter politics", but OPC thugs disrupting peaceful voters is loving, peaceful politics.

The hilarious thing is that there are many Yorubas that love to repeat this "peaceful, accommodating" line and think it is a unique feature that they need a pat on the back for. A pat on the back for not being violent savages to non-indigenes in their midst. It's funny as hell. grin Yet, ask any of them to explain how other Southern tribes are unaccommodating and you'll hear little more than waffle.

ENUGU-PRESIDENT General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo has raised the alarm over situations in Lagos state and the threat to lives of Ndigbo residing in Lagos.

He also expressed worry over alleged hostage taking of electoral officers in Imo state by Governor Rochas Okorocha, noting the the Residents Electoral Commissioner in Imo state said his life was on danger.

Nwodo however acknowledged the concern of apex Yoruba organisation, Afenifere, for condemning the disenfranchisement of Igbo voters in parts of Lagos state.

Nwodo in a statement in Enugu raised some concerns. He said: “Forty-eight hours after our elections, we still have no results. There is hardly any voter in Nigeria, who does not know the results of elections in his polling booth. The INEC server is down, yanked off by INEC. Conflicting results dominate the social media.

“The two major national parties claim contradictory victories. Returning officers in Rivers and Imo claim to be under siege, being executed by a minister and a governor respectively. Igbos in Lagos are being threatened for exercising their civic rights to vote. This morning, they were stopped from opening their market stalls in Oshodi.

“The Acting Inspector General of Police refused to pick my three calls to him. The Oba of Lagos remains quiet. The Governor of Lagos State makes no broadcast. The safety of more than four million Igbos living in Lagos seems to be of no concern to him. The Jagaban threatens Igbos to relocate, if they do not vote for his party.

“Thanks to Afenifere for its salutary and comforting voice. The Commander- in- Chief, maintains an ominous silence. The International Community wonders what a country this is. Professor Yakubu Mahmood be warned. Remember 1966. Remember 1983. Our democracy was upturned on those two occasions for the action or inaction of our electoral commission.

“Governor Umahi, you cannot be Chairman of South-East Governors and remain unconcerned about the plight of Igbos in Lagos and unperturbed by the manipulation of our votes in the South-East. History is recording our action and inaction.

“I appeal to Igbos to remain calm and law-abiding while remaining resolute on our resolve to seize the moment of this election to change The character of our governance. May the Almighty God save our country from sliding into another crisis.”

Cry mad babies as usual. So it is only igbo people thatb supports PDP in lagos? Other PDP supporters from other tribes living in okota and aguda did not experience same? Oh was it Yoruba thugs that caused problems in imo too? PDP did not get any votes in Lagos? No Yoruba person voted PDP in lagos? Other SW states that PDP got massive votes, was it igbo people that voted PDP in those states.

Igbos in festac, apapa, alaba, okoko, agbara did not vote? Or the thugs forgot that igbos live in these places? You iPods are just bunch of HATEFUL mischievous people who like to start trouble you can't finish. All you spread is hate and envy everywhere you go. Yorubas have been teaching you how to live peacefully amongst others. Teaching you how to live and let live, how to respect people's choices and opinion and how to be diplomatic but you will never learn. You can see from the results in SW. People voted both PDP and APC massively and other parties got few votes. That's how to play politics and not the useless HATEFUL bitter politics that you play and the cry victim when you lose. Vote like mumu for one party all because of hatred. Even the north didn't pack all their votes for one party. Na only una go do nonsense still come back dey point rubbish fingers and cry marginalization.

They want to play partisan-politics in ‘one Nigeria’....a process that’s rigged against them ab-initio!?

I just went along with the whole ‘Ndigbo should partake in the process or else Buhari would win’ mularky just so no one will accuse me later of working against Igbo interest, and i’m happy Mazi Kanu did likewise or else they would have come for him too!

A part of me wants Buhari and APC to succeed in their rigging....hopefully this would show naive ‘one Nigeria’ Igbos and Biafrans that doing the same thing our parents and grandparents did since 1960 is exactly what Igbo-haters want as they have rigged the system to favour them at all times!

Hopefully, now that the scales have fallen from their eyes, the Biafran cause will win over new converts!

they have been accommodating the igbos? i am yet to understand that phrase. is there any state in Nigeria that have chased the igbo man out of their state? and yet these people have never ever mentioned how they accommodate the igbos. the only people i hear these things from are the Yorubas. do you need to repeat something for it to be true? it has to be through ones actions. i dont get these people. if you believe the Igbos dont respect their host as they claim why not help with their agitation so that they can leave your land for you. there are millions of Igbos in Togo,Benin,Ghana,Angola,Gambia and i don't hear the talk of accommodation. the truth is there has never been a time igbos destroyed properties in YORUBA land or attack their people in their history compared to the hausas or northerner who have many violent incident with the Yorubas but you can never hear a yoruba man attack the northerner the way he vilifies an Igbo man. when this problem you are trying to create starts it doesn't know who is Yoruba nor igbo.

First of all, we owe you ZERO "gratitude" for anything. Zero. It's like my landlord telling me that I am ungrateful that he gave me accommodation - accommodation that I'm paying for. We don't owe you jackshit. We do business in Lagos (a city that was Nigeria's capital for 76 years and profited immensely from national wealth) and we pay our taxes.

And I don't understand what you mean by the emboldened. So anybody that does not mortgage his future to Tinubu's mafia is your political enemy?
