Rugaria: What is my business with Ikwerres and how do they come into History and demography of Lagos State? About 95% of Indigenes of Lagos have never heard of anything called Ikwerres and call anybody that comes after Bini 'Omo-Ibo' 1 Like |

Rugaria: You keep ranting randomly echoing your frustrated thoughts, answering questions that were never asked. Who said anything about the rights of Ebonyi people are lower than the rights of other Nigerians in Lagos? Dangote all the way from Kano is building the largest refinery in Lagos and we don't see anyone saying he has limited rights neither do we see Hausa people screaming 'Lagos is no man's land'. Only people from your ethnic group do such and at the same time you also like to claim other Nigerians hate you. Learn to get along with other tribes instead of courting unnecessary controversies If Lagos is no man's land, then Enugu, Onitcha and Aba are also no man's land. 4 Likes 1 Share |

@ proeast Once again thanks a million for this Revelations.. Those whose stock in trade is to dilute history can wail and rant, but facts are facts.. History will never be kind to those who committed the FIRST BLACK ON BLACK GENOCIDE in Africa fighting as the foot soldiers of Western imperialists whose overbearing control of the Nigerian economy thereafter is hugely responsible for the mess we are all in today.. Personally, I will like to see more exposures of this sort on issues related to igbo marginalisation; the rearrangement of igbo boundaries in order to force the igbos more into the interior and destroy them economically. the structural attempt to starve igbo land of funds by allocating fewer states and fewer local governments to the east, a move that also effects the igbos of the ability to have equal representation in Abuja, since that means lesser senators and lesser house Representatives/ministers..., the refusal to remove police/army check points in the East since the end of the war...., the bad road infastructure.., the thousands of deaths on the road as igbos drive to Lagos to catch international flights..., the attempt to remove the igbos from rail connections in Nigeria..., the refusal to develop eastern ports thereby making igbos buy imported good almost double the price in Lagos as goods are trucked from Lagos to the east causing thousands of accidents.... Government refusal to biuld any major power plant in the East..., federal government refusal to take much actions against erosion disasters and oil spillage in the east.., government support of skewed application of both the quota system and federal character..., the fulanisation of the army, the police, the air Force, the custom, immigration, civil defence etc and of course the total take over of officialdom by certain sections of the country while others are secluded.... These must CONTINUOUSLY be highlighted and challenged till changes occur..... The internet riff-raffs wailing on this thread are only trying to defend the loot their blood sucking uncles cornered for them by collaborating with western imperialists to kill, main and vandalize in the 60s, all for primitive gains! 3 Likes |

Rugaria: Honestly bro. A lot of evil went down in Nigeria which destroyed its structure and ensured it never amounted to anything despite all its massive potentials. It is our duty to keep revisiting all these attrocities, if not for anything at least in honour of those that suffered the injustice. If you notice, each time we bring up these issues that happened in the past, a particular group of people will always take offense. They would prefer that these attrocities remain buried simply because they unjustly profited from the travails and misfortune of Igbos. Igbos have suffered a lot in Nigeria and continues to do so, but like Achebe said, if Igbos had numbered a few thousands or tens of thousands, the oppressors would have gotten away with it, but unfortunately for them, we number in tens of millions--educated, well traveled and ambitious without fearing man nor god. 5 Likes |

aribisala0: I don't know if you're saying all these out of ignorance or wilful mischief. However, you need to be corrected, at least for the sake of the unsuspecting. Yes, Igbos are as important as we believe we are. How many black ethnic groups in Africa are doing better or even as good as Igbos globally? Can you name them? You claim Ijaws and Efiks sold Igbos as slaves? Hmnn, such public display of ignorance. It is on record that Igbos had a cosy relationship with its neighbors in the SS throughout recorded history, except on rare occasions like when the Aros sacked some Efiks. Slavery occurred throughout Nigeria and the entire West coast. The same way Oyo people sold slaves to those in the coastal areas of Lagos and Ogun as middle men who now sold them to the Whites was also how Igbos sold slaves to those in the coastal areas of Rivers and Cross River who now sold to the Whites. At a point, we even established settlements that still exists today in places like Bonny, Opobo etc. Are you even aware that an Igbo man in the person of King Jaja of Opobo was the most influential ruler in the whole of Niger Delta before the British attacked him? We never had any problem with our minority neighbors because we lived in harmony unlike you guys that almost finished yourselves in the so-called kiriji wars. There was anarchy in yorubaland despite speaking one language yet Igbos lived in harmony with others despite speaking different languages and different culture with them. That's maturity! That's how to know peaceful people!! You talked about having a small landmass. Really, how many times will they educate you about landmass? Borno, Niger, Adamawa etc are far more larger than states like Imo, Lagos and Anambra yet the latter states are far more developed, more productive and more populous than them! What does that tell you? It means that landmass does not matter in the grand scheme of things. SMH at the sort of embarrassing things some of you say here. 4 Likes |

aribisala0: Yes, Igboland has the largest reserves of onshore hydrocarbons i.e. oil and gas in Nigeria, and that's a fact! As we speak, Imo state is supplying Lagos with gas! The areas around Imo, Abia and Rivers boundaries are where Nigeria has its largest onshore reserves and those are 100% Igboland. Unlike you guys that annexed Ijaw lands into Ondo to claim oil producing. Lastly, you can't evacuate people from their ancestral lands, instead you can only stay in your country and Igbos will stay in theirs. We are Aboriginal to Igboland! 4 Likes 1 Share |

proeast: Who asked you where is no man's land and how is it related to your propanda Topic that Awolowo introduced Indigenization decree in 1972? If that is your definition of no man's land, then Enugu, Imo and Anambra are also no man's land because they are built with monthly Federal allocations. It's either you are accusing Awolowo ,Gowon, Benjamin Adekunle, Murtalar Muhammed or even Britain of being against you and being the cause of your predicaments but you never blame yourselves or your leaders for your predicaments. On every social media, you guys like to be fighting and attacking Yorubas, Hausa-Fulani, Ijaws, southern minorities if they declare that they are not part of Biafria or even some Igbo clans for not being Igbo enough. At the same time, you like to always play the victim card that other Nigerians hate you or are marginalizing you. Lean to avoid unnecessary controversies and get along well with other Nigerians. 3 Likes |

You need to reconcile yourself as shown in red. In addition, if you had read my post without being overwhelmed by tribal impediments, you would have noticed the mention of regional and national elections.

solmus: They just want to continue to check to know if they have gotten ahead of the yorubas. The day they can surely confirm they are now ahead they will be satisfied and stop wailing but they keep getting fustrated that the yorubas keep getting ahead. One thing I have come to realize is that the igbos are not very good pioneers and innovators, they are just good in copy and paste. They keep trying to see how much they can copy what they see in other places back in their land and I must say they are really trying, that's why they want airports, sea ports(even though I don't know where they want to put it) and so on. But they need to be more innovative to create models that can make their land uniquely developed else they will keep getting fustrated in what they see in other places especially Yoruba land which can never be theirs and keep blaming others for their woes. 2 Likes |
