You lots are hypocrites,it's cool when you insult igbos,but when Igbo respond by insulting you back you will start whining like over used pant..


You claimed igbos hates you yet Igbo never engaged you lot in any physical combat or confrontation any where since the history of Nigeria,igbos undoubtedly are the second largest tribe in Lagos yet we never had issues with you lots..

Your oba of Lagos threatened to throw igbos in the lagoon yet you didn't see the hate in that,adeyinka grandson threatened to burn down Igbo investment in South West yet you didn't see the hate in it...


Your people have been burning Igbo shops by proxy(you lots think we don't no) yet you are still accusing us of hating you..


You call us baby factory and drug dealers,but when we call you skull miners you start shouting hate..

You call our women yam legs but when we call your women dirty, stinking and ugly you start shouting hate...


You call our political leaders ( thou I don't care about those ones shaa) like Peter obi a fraudster but when we call tinubu bullion van crook or frog eye you start shouting hate..


For Wizkid and tiwa Savage they are my best supper stars so I don't no what you are saying on that...


Go to any Igbo related thread and see the way you yorubas are insulting igbos..

You don't dish out hate and insult and expect love and praise,it doesn't work like that..

That's how every state in Nigeria should be. That's if people still believe in this country called Nigeria. With the current system, it'd be a miracle if Nigeria still exists in 20 years

One thing that is very clear is that the Yoruba are the most accommodating tribe in Nigeria; no one can deny that. However, what have we got in return - hate and envy especially from the Igbos. The Hausa/Fulani are suspicious of the Youruba but they do not hate the Yoruba. The are also accommodating to the Yorubas.

The Edo/Isekiri/Urhoro are siblings to the Yorubas even though they have their own identity. The Efik/Ibibio are somewhat indifferent to the Yoruba but that is fine. The Igbos outright hate the Yoruba and it is time Yorubas become very conscious of this hatred.

Everyday they are castigating Tinubu, Fayemi and Osinbajo; and other potential Yoruba presidential candidates. The other day they were calling Yoruba women undesirable and dirty. All of them were hating on Peter Okoye for marrying a “dirty Yoruba woman” - a woman who is more educated and exposed than anyone in their generation. They insult the same Lagos where they live - why don't they just go back to Onitsha and Aba.

They insult anything Yoruba- from Anthony Joshua, Wizkid, Tiwa and everything Yoruba. These insults are not unnoticed. Yoruba will not forget and will surely retaliate!

It is true politically but not economically - Be the bigger man and stop comparing yourself with poorly managed states - let me explain. Igbos and Yorubas hold a weighty influence in the local economies of the North - but hold no political offices.

Lagos State alone contributes nearly nearly 55% of the National IGR. it is the hub of business opportunity and the haven for tax-collectors of every kind both legitimate and illegal.

There was a period in Fashola's government when Tax inclusion and demographics by the State of Origin was discussed and it was discovered that nearly 80% of tax-payers were not from Lagos and a majority were actually spread between the North, East, and South-South. in fact you can do a simple sample and drive the length of VI to Epe and note the companies and factories lined up providing jobs and boosting the local economy. They are not Indigenous Eko businessmen but non-ethnic Lagosians.. the same picture in Lagos Island, the haven for indigenous Lagosians - Apapa is now peppered with Hausa-run businesses and we all know that Igbos hold sway in Apapa, Ojo/Alaba, and badagary.

The issue of political inclusion should not be based on ethnicity or whether some states run by illiterates and touts do not have yoruba's in their political vision.. it should be What are you doing to empower Lagosians to own businesses, properties, factories and lead in revenue generation to further boost the local economy? The non-Lagosians will go for Christmas and everywhere becomes silent and the disease of Lagos Traffic disappears.

A few power-houses like Adenuga and Otedola is not the flag-post for bragging that these two alone can save Lagos if non-Lagosians go their own way - Where there is opportunity, there is CAPITALISM (No free food for Lagos oooh)

Comment very typical of a yoloba, incoherent and as usual noisy. Yorub reinstate the most unreliable tribe in Nigeria. Trust a to run a man at your own peril. Where is Sunday igboho and his agitation? Typical to run a. They can't change their chameleon tendencies. Brand it hate if you want but what you here is the truth about your personality.

You see why I said you should go to school and learn history and probably increase your intelligent a little. You are not even like an Ibo boy cos Ibo aren't as daft as you....

Let me lecture you for free anyway.

In the old Nigeria State.....we have 3 regions that made up Nigeria....listed below

1) Eastern Region
2) Western Region
3) Northern Region

And the federal capital of Nigeria at independent was Lagos state but pre independent capital was Calabar in cross rivers state...

Should I continue? Or your small brain can't still assimilate this lecture....

Western region was in the same league as Eastern Region and Northern region and none exclusive right was given to any except Lagos the federal capital.

Western region was being governed or premier by Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

Eastern Region premier was Nnamdi Azikwe

Northern region premier was Ahmadu Bello while the Prime minister of Nigeria was Abubakr Tafawa Balewa and the first Nigeria President even though it was a decorative president was given to Nnamdi Azikwe....

Western region was never a Nigeria capital olodo....I know you are an illiterate of this indomie generation....learn your ABC and after you might probably get a little intelligent......
