There is always the option for all of you Igbos to move back to the SE and remain there.

That way you will be away from Nigerians who "hate" you and be able to build your Biafra paradise exactly how you want..

Simple solution for both sides.

This one is a foolish solution suggested by a greedy, unrealistic mad man!



The permanent and realistic solution is for Nigerians who believe in one Nigeria and hate Igbos to do exactly what Malaysia did to Singapore.


What did Malaysia do?


Malays were the majority in their national assembly, and they hated Singaporeans so much, for peace to reign and to avoid bloodletting, Malaysians organized a secret national assembly sitting where they locked out all Singaporean lawmakers and made a law expelling Singapore from Malaysia.



This made the division of Malaysia very simple, easy and without war.


Today, both Malaysia and Singapore are all doing well and living in peace.



But you Nigerians are so foolish, so greedy, so wicked, so inhumane, so unrealistic and barbaric that you hate Igbos, you dont want Igbos in your region, you don't want Igbos to lead Nigeria to light, you want Igbos to suffer and die and yet you want to explore crude oil and natural gas in Imo, Abia, Anambra, Enugu and other resources and then share it with the remaining 36 states, and also use population factor to give lion share to Lagos and Kano which Igbos contribute hugely to their large population, and after using Igbo resources to develop these cities, you then expect Igbos to go back to their exploited region and stay while you enjoy their resources in what you call one Nigeria, are you not completely mad and foolish saying that?



The honorable thing to do is to allow Igbos secede and go form their own independent country and then you make a new law in your Lagos, Abuja, Kano, etc that Igbos should not be issued visa to your country.



This is what North Korea and South Korea did and they both have been living separately in peace.




But you foolish Nigerians want to eat your cake and still have it.


You want Igbos to remain in Nigeria so you can be using their resources and talents to shine while you mock them or cajole them to go back to their region, honestly you guys are useless and brainless

MyopicMods:


Sad as it may Sound, Onitsha is not Igbo land and has never been.

Mtcheeeeeeeeeew.

Onitsha is 99.9% Igbo dominated.

Can you say same for Lagos

TheNiceGuy:

Yes, it's Igboland.

Ndi Igbo and transgressions


Wherever they are, their first aim is how to dominate.

This is why they shouldn't be entrusted with power.

Check what Aguyi Ironsi did just few months he was a ruler.
Check those biafra soldiers court martial by Ojukwu during the civil war, non of them are Ndi Igbo.

Check what Azikwe tried to do in Southwest (by representing the region upon the numbers of literate mind among Yorubas) before Awolowo cornered his mischievous move

Check those killed and spare by Kaduna Nzegu and Owaboshi.




They're just pretending, give power to them and be a victim of their vengeance

The Priest pastors Ewu-Owa. Why are people surprised that he behaved like Ewu, just for once?

Hardfacts234:
Since you have acknowledged your hate on ndi-igbo, what stops you from supporting the option of total separation from the tribe you hated so much?

Is not madness to keep sharing same country with people you don't like?

What you are suggesting is a kind of apartheid, where Igbo (a traveling tribe) will be boxed in a particular region of the country. For you to possess the power to entirely remove igbos from your society, you need to support outright disintegration.

Always playing victim as usual. Who told you I hate Igbos? It is you Igbos who claim others hate you, are inferior to you, are holding you back blah blah blah.

At some stage, Nigerians who say it as it is will challenge you to remain in exclusion, in your SE States, if you cannot get on with others and can only view them negatively and disrespectfully.

Dont remain in Lagos, Oyo, Kaduna, Kano etal shouting that Yorubas, Hausas, Fulanis etal hate you. Do something to get away from your "enemies" and spare us your hypocritical and insincere talk.

But he has been kicked out like a roten smelly egg. He would be replace with an Igbo lover or an Igbo priest. Stupid edo idiot priest. His sister is a prostitude in italy

Straight out of baby factory?
Just be aware of the gutter around you.

Far from your tribalistic mindset. He is Boring as a priest. He served in our parish under a Yoruba parish priest and Igbo dominated congregation singing Igbo songs, Yoruba songs and even Akwa Ibom catholic songs and even Edo songs and every one was happy.

Just a little over 2 years he was a Parish Priest he has started showing his true colors.

Igbo domination in Catholic Church has come to stay.

I and my family worship at Saint Monika Catholic Church Munich and our service is in Igbo language. Our parish priest is from Mbaise.

We sing, pray and preach in Igbo language and Oyibos join us when they wish.

Nigeria will never be ok with people like you and Priests like Fr James Anelu

Newton85:
He's a boring priest because he doesn't want the non-Eboes in his parish feel left out? How can your people be rendering services exclusively in Eboe when there are non-Eboes in the same church? Does it make any sense to you?

tete7000:
Going by tribe, is he himself fit to preside over a church in a Yoruba land?

Lagos is a cosmopolitan city and shouldn't be defined by tribe. Lagos is not a Yorubaland.

This is indeed the signs of the endtime; the end for expired country Nigeria {1914-2014} Nigeria is on extra time; penalties ensue soonest & everyone goes to their tent....

Igbos dominates all Tribes in Nigeria yet they don't win Elections no be Juju be this
This Year's Elections will be different even in Lagos.
Igbos will surprise many people with population. People go fear

itsene:

Igbos have a MAJOR problem and it's living their lives VICARIOUSLY through others.This anomie has been ruinous to many.
From Douala, Nairobi to Pretoria. Cotonou, Accra, Monrovia to Abidjan. Talk less of China and South Asia. It's always the same problem, " they don't like us".
Why?
Igbos refuse to check their excesses.
Without an attitude and cultural change,sad to say, igbos will continue to lament their predicament.
What is so difficult about putting the SENSIBILITIES of your HOSTS into consideration before doing anything?

until you tell me any state in nigeria where people were given lands and shop for free,if a church is 95% igbos and they decided to sing one song in igbo language then is abomination but their offering is not abomination,if a yoruba man can behead a British soldier in street of London yet English did not kill or deport all yorubas in Britain then I don't see why igbo person will not be comfortable in any state in nigeria

If you hate injustice, they call you IPOB

When you speak the truth, They call you IPOB


When you spread across the nation, They call you IPOB

When you correct their wrong, They call you IPOB


What did Igbo people do to Yorubas that they hate Igbos so much?

I have observed this here on nairaland.

If Igbos leave nairaland, the owner might go broke.

If Igbos leave Lagos, there will be no more tax and the govt will go broke. Even NURTW will go broke because Igbos mostly do business and transport daily.



You people should beware of what you wish for in this country.

nwigwemark:
I know him from Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church Ifako Gbagada.

I am not surprised. He is a boring priest.

The 4:30 eyed idiot has been suspended. We demand outright expulsion of him from the Catholic Church.

Let's face it; Igbos are hated everywhere. I wish we Igbos can turn this Threat into a Strategic advantage. It's possible in business. That means it's possible in social and political life. No matter what, we don't stop.

flokii:
It has now moved from politics to religion, soon people in sports will start complaining about that particular etnic group and their excesses.
Most of us grew up with them in our midst free mimded till we started moving out, working and thinking for ourselves to realize the "excesses" of that tribe most people complain of. I doubt if any catholic church in Imo or Abia would allow Yoruba or Edo songs or seperate service. They always abuse every position of power they get to project their tribe on others not minding the reaction of their hosts.

In your mind they are dominating you.

An igbo man has never been president since when?

A yoruba man has been president and vice in 16 years after 1999

If you want to travel out, you must go to lagos and abuja, but it is igbos dominating you.

if you want to do most biometrics, you must go to lagos or abuja, but it is igbos dominating you.

tuberculosis test, you must come to lagos or abuja but Taiwo think it is igbos dominating them and want them to go back to their region.

An igbo man says he doesnt want to be in the country, you say no, he must be in Nigeria.

An igbo man says he want to contest for a post, you say no, he cannot be trusted.

You back someone in a corner and expect him to keep quiet?

You sell you land and go back shouting domination, how?


. I doubt if any catholic church in Imo or Abia would allow Yoruba or Edo songs or seperate service.

Much from what you think, igbos dont hate like that. If your song is good, why not.

The yoruba dominate the music industry and no igbo man have come out to say, stop playing their music in bars or function because they dominate it.

I bet if it was igbos that dominate the music industry, many tribe with be frowning open it.

Yorubas dominate the tech industry, you dont see igbos telling people to stop using some apps because they belong to yorubas.

The same igbos you hate move out of their region and start living with you, adding economic value to your state (weather you like it or not)

ezenwajosh:
Igbos will never know how much they are hated in Nigeria


The hate is deep....the earlier you leave the better for you but all those doing one Nigeria only cares about political gain to ge their own share....if we all wait for all of you to take turns to get your share of the national loot how many of us will be alive....how deep would we have sunk into the hate....would we be able to still come out or would we have turned to cricket that is producing oil from its own body while its being roasted on fire?


Yesterday they called you well meaning Igbo's and good people of Igbo's all for you to help them point out those who have seen there is no hope for Igbo's in nigeria.... You help them pointed them out and they killed them off, arrested some and torturing them till today while you are doing it to show you are ONE NIGERIAN....they told you only few un-educated miscreants Igbo's are the ones that wants out of Nigeria...today YOU the educated Igbo's who showed you're a ONE NIGERIAN by pointing out to be killed your brothers and sisters who sees no future, who sees the hate on Igbo's, the injustice on Igbo's in Nigeria and decided they want out. Today you now told them YOU WANT PRESIDENCY and they are now calling both you the EDUCATED IGBO AND THE UN-EDUCATED IGBOS AND MISCREANTS IPOB

THEY NOW MAKE MOCKERY OF YOU ASKING YOU WHAT DO YOU WANT BIAFRA OR PRESIDENCY

THEY NOW CALLED YOU IPOB despite helping them point out your brothers to be killed.


Jonathan lost election they made mockery of Igbo's that we put our egg in one basket... Told Jonathan's they are not Igbo's they are south south....the south south we stood by their brother Jonathan reminded us we are not together.

When will Igbo's realise that no matter the horse you back in Nigeria you are on your own....when will Igbo's realise the only thing holding Nigeria together is the HATRED FOR IGBOS.

This is painful to read. You need to understand that people like Asari don't speak for us in the southsouth

Who told you we hate Igbos? Do you think we love Yoruba ? How on earth can you think we will leave Igbo whom we share so much in common with culturally and traditionally and love Yoruba who
We don't share anything with?

Be reasonable. Does kanu speak for all Igbos ? No so how can you think people like Wike or Asari speaks for all of us in Niger Delta?

This is unfortunate.
Catholics are shooting themselves in the foot.
Things are changing, more and more young people are turning away from God and the church, yet all this priest can think about is that Igbo songs are dominating his parish. Smh.

So dominating is nuisance. You are mad with no apologies. But let me shock you and your illiterate likes, the Igbos don't give a Bleep about your pains and hate. We will keep dominating, until your people and the entire Africa start giving their children Igbo names. Idiotic baboon

global prisoners talking

This is one thing I like about Lagos Catholic Dioceses. As a Priest, do anyhow, you will see any how.

Okogie started the no-nonsense attitude and dutifully passed it to Alfred Adewale Martins

If it was in the East, the Bishop will be pampering the priest and be sluggish in acting. There should not be any delay or setting up a useless committee to look into any stupidity. Kudos to Archbishop Adewale Martins.

But seriously, that priest must be nursing one kind hatred for the Igbo tribe that he couldn't hold it again. Just imagine, a catholic priest? This one fall hand, ghan. I am totally disappointed. He must be de-robed. No waste of time

In the real life example you sited was it an English mass?

Mzflexydeeva:
I am forced to comment. I am not saying what this priest has done is right but I can understand a bit of what he is saying. Banning is the solution rather ways to foster harmony among all tribes in the church should be sought for.


I for one, I am a catholic but going to church in Lagos has been very discouraging. I have attended a mass where the priest was practically giving sermon in Igbo. Most priest especially those from the East forget the term universal when they mount the pulpit. It’s actually discouraging when at a mass all the Igbo people are laughing over what a priest has said and you just sit there lost. If you are not Igbo sometimes going for mass is no use. Just find the readings and stay at home because you won’t enjoy mass. I am not Yoruba either but I know of a church that has Yoruba mass and others in English. So maybe having an Igbo mass strictly for igbos would help.

What is so difficult about putting the SENSIBILITIES of your HOSTS into consideration before doing anything?

That is why they will always be haunted down by their host. You go to a place and want to claim supremacy there. You will hear some of them say something like; " we own Lagos". "Lagos is a no man's land" and they expect the Lagos indigenes or an average Yoruba person not to react and when they react, they will start wailing that it is jealousy being displayed by their host because they are prospering. And you begin to wonder if they are the only ones prospering.

Imagine living in Anambra or Enugu and shouting Enugu or Anambra is a no man's land? When you point this out to them, you turn their enemy.

There was a time they wanted to start having a king in Benin. They were stopped at once as the then Oba made it known to them that there can only be one king in Benin.

It's the same reason they make up the majority of Nigerians in prisons in Malaysia, phillipines, India, Bangladesh, Ghana, Cameroon, Benin republic, Etc. You go to another man's land to want to do nonsense!

Newton85:
Must you bring Yorubas into every nonsense that affects you people? The priest James Anelu isn't Yoruba so why bring Yoruba into it?

athaboi:
I think the priest should be checked mentally and not just suspending him! I believe that something is wrong with him mentally. A parish that you are the one in charge, even if you feel there are somethings you want to be adjusted...you don't come to the alter to say something like this. You are in charge so you can easily speak to the chore master anytime within the week about the type of mixed songs you want to be hearing during mass but booom he climbed the alter and was boldly making a derogatory comments. The truth is that all blacks especially Nigerians are racists on their own....so much hate and evil among Nigerians, no exception

You are very correct. His level of intellectual disposition didn't look like that of a wholesome person of his standing. He could have sought for adjustments with the choir master, but again his prejudices may have weighed more on his mind.
