Alj Uche:

What is ohaneze done about massob biafra dream before ruling other people be it ijaw and co ?

Chyz*:

Ohanaeze has nothing to do with Biafra. Also, what made you mention ijaw and ohanaeze ruling them?

Alj Uche:

when i said ohaneze, i meant ohaneze is now a social-political group that represent the interest of ndigbo in and outside aligbo.

so if they want to make themselves more politically relevant in a state like lagos, i ask what have they done with the massob and biafra slogan in aligbo. would ohaneze want an OPC member or someone related to them to rule there state ?

i mentioned ijaw because i believe there are more igbos in balysea or rivers state than in lagos, so why can't they ask for political relevace there,.,. why lagos

or are there no igbo that are indigenous in edo state any more, surly there population would be more than lagos

why not edo state, why lagos?


thanks

Chyz*:

Ohanaeze and MASSOB have two totally different missions/goals; One wants to promote the igbo culture,tradition, and relevance in nigeria, while the other wants Igbo secession from nigeria. So no, it would make no point for ohanaeze to indulge itself into MASSOB issues.

You are wrong about it being more Igbos in Bayelsa than lagos. There are, i believe, only two indigenous Igbo communities in Bayelsa. The rest of the Igbos there are from other states, and there is not many.

As far as Rivers, Ohanaeze needs not ask for political relevance for the Igbos in Rivers because 65-70% of Rivers State is Igbo. The governor of Rivers as we speak is Igbo and thetwo governors before him, Ohemia and Odili, are Igbos as well.

About the Igbos in Edo state, there are only a few indigenous Igbo communities in Edo state, the number doesn't even at up to the Igbos in lagos. Ohanaeze is/was also involved in getting them included in Anioma State.

Alj Uche:


okayyyy  makes sense now

so you believe it is rightful for ohaneze to demand for more seats in lagos when we have hausa which are par with the igbo population

kanuri, edo, ijaw and co

what do you think 

Alj Uche:

When ohaneze talked about economic engine of lagos, I would like to ask them this questions.


What do they understand by "the engine room of , economy"

What qualifies Ndigbo as the engine room of Lagos economy?

Did they bring the sea to Lagos and will go back with it?

They own most of the banks?

The insurance companies?

Shipping companies?

They are large employers of labor?

I guess there own idea of an "engine" is cash and carry-import and sell? Any eediot can do that!

Do they undertsand the kind of stress that over-population has put on the real sector of economy in Lagos by the import based cash and carry orientation.

Do they realize how much Lagos as lost in its serenity and the quality of life as we know it in the 70's growing up?

Do you realize that almost every part of Lagos has become "ghettorized" Ikoyi, VI, Ikeja, Magodo are all in tatters.

There are seaports in Warri, Calabar and Port Harcourt why can't they go and drive the economy there?

[b]The number one driver of economy in Lagos is the conducive atmosphere and tolerance of the Yoruba people, when they are forced to take that off the table with constant harassment like this, then we shall all see the repercussion.

Who would imagine that ALJ has a brain like this!
Don't worry about the Igbo Alj, self-destruction is their way.

Trust my Lagos homeboys, their fvck-up will be treated, after elections,

@ OP - Get original.

@Jason 123 - I dont think Igbos resident in Lagos want to rule Lagos. Its absurd and silly to think that people like me have designs on a state outside my ethnic home. I am 3rd generation lagosian. Like my father i was born and bred in lagos so how then can you expect someone who moved here to hustle and make money to build houses in their village, want to rule the state.

At the same time Yorubas have to understand Igbo society and culture. Simply put we are all fiercely independent down to the clan level. Ohaneze can NEVER speak for me,  my mechanic (whose wife is yoruba by the way) or the guy at the idumota selling his goods in time to go home for Xmas.

I believe that this whole gist has been blown out of shape and forums like this dont help matters especially when ill bred water-flies see threads like this as an opportunity to vent their deep seated prejudice.

Surely one day some of you folks will die of 'Igbophobic' induced hypertension.

The agenda is to annex Lagos and send people packing Back to their Ibadan and Ogbomoso. Get that into your thick skull asap
