Thugs Attacks Igbo Traders Who Went To Register For PVC In Lagos

These are Lagosians in Ojo Local Govt of Lagos Lagos thugs stopped and chased them away from registering to vote - next year, they'll chase many of you out of polling units if care is not taking.

Talking about cowards, you guys are the greatest cowards ever. No wonder Ojukwu ran to Ivory coast and Nnamdiot Cownu ran to Kenya. Lol

Where did igboho run to? He hadn't even drank a pint of what ojukwu took but he fled.

He did not just run, but had to be an animal (pussy cat) to do that.

Pussy fellow!

Apart from using them for Target Practice every Monday IPOB are guaranteeing the Safety and Security of those Collecting and Registering for PVC in the SE

But on a serious note they should just go and register at other INEC Centers where they can do so safely and in peace there are so many other registration Centers in Lagos

Sebi Igbo's are the only trader in Alaba market

See how inferiority complex is doing some people shaka shaka

To set the record straight, all the non indegenes in Lagos with PVC are not even up to 500k cos it's a measure to check balance non indegenes influence across all the states in Nigeria.

Why should Igbo's registering their PVC be a threat to anyone. How many PVC's have they collected in their region?
and so why the harassment? just read ur post and see how illogical it is to the comprehensive news

It's basically crowd control, the people were too much and the officials were overwhelmed.

It's natural for this to happen because of the sheer amount of people that turned up today for pvc and considering we are hardly orderly in this country...

People have been collecting pvcs there all these while.

Look at the way they are crowding the official.

They should have phased the closure of Alaba section by section, you don't expect everybody from Alaba to visit the office and there won't be chaos.


Don't be deceived. Are you now saying we don't know the difference between crowd control and an attack? You don pass to dey talk like this. Is this the first time? The evil APC party leaders are already scheming to wedge out the Igbo people, to prevent Peter Obi from winning. But they have already failed. Why has the FG not commented since this news broke out? Do you think the FG would have kept mute if this crowd being prevented is anticipated to vote for APC?

The Igbos are not the only ethnic group in Alaba. The Igbos are the major and dominant ethnic group in Alaba so anything that happens in Alaba will disproportionately affect them. And this attempt to stop them from collecting voters' card is exclusively targeted at Ndigbo - not the other ethnic groups in Alaba. Except you are saying that the perpetrators are Igbos stopping their kinsmen from collecting their voters' cards.

Did l answer your question pointedly?

Did you notice that you did not even condemn the dastard act? Instead, you want to turn it into online Igbo-Yoruba war. What is morally wrong is morally wrong.

Re: Thugs Attack Igbo Traders Who Closed Shops To Register For PVC In Alaba Lagos by Uchek(m): 1:07pm On Jun 10, 2022
How did they insult Yoruba people? Tell me what constitute insult? In 2019 when they were prevented to vote, did they also insult Yoruba people? Did we also insult Yoruba people when the Oba of Lagos threatened to throw us into the lagoon if we voted PDP? People always find a reason to justify what is morally unjustifiable.


Esama:
grin We have already know what lead to this I'm a bini man I registered at ifako ijaye without attack from anyone...You will surprised that those people went there to insult Yoruba people. Not only igbo are in lagos other tribe are there without thugs attacking them. grin

You cry for SE PRESIDENCY. A man like Chief Ayo Adebanjo of Afenifere stuck out his neck.
Many people OUTSIDE SE supported the idea. But you, you had 95 DELEGATES in PDP, gave ONLY 14 to SE. You got 300+ DELEGATES in APC, gave 39 to be shared between Nnamani, Umahi, Onu etc.
You probably denoted or sold the rest for the people you fight now!!!

"The wife of the Ondo state governor is from IMO state. She wanted to be a senator she was chased away." - Dotun Olusi

This man, that one is too far na!!!

Bianca is very Igbo and from ENUGU, daughter of Chief Chris Onoh a former Governor of Old Anambra State [ which was then made up of Present Enugu and Anambra States ]. She very duly married no less a personality than Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu.

A whole Ojukwu o.

This same Ikemba Ojuwku was the moving spirit behind APGA PARTY.

But Bianca Ojukwu was practically chased out of the Party when she attempted to contest the SENATOR TICKET. She was quickly reminded that she wasn't from Anambra State!!!

In that South-East Igbo land, it is a serious exception for you to see an ABIA MAN rising peacefully in the Civil Service of nearby IMO State.

It is not likely that you are going to find an Anambra Man who is a PermSec in Ebonyi State Civil Service.

When I was at the Anambra State University in Awka, the entire Staff Strength, from Janitors to Vice-Chancellor were Igbos, most likely all from Anambra State.

Who is that Abia man that will sit pretty in Anambra civil service for a position that there are plenty Anambra people? If the Abia man being Igbo can't be that bold where will the YORUBA man find the liver to ask for a position in that civil service.

But come to South-West, the story changes.

In Lagos, Ogun and Oyo civil service, you are very sure to find Igbos who are comfortably I'm LEVEL 17 POSITIONS.I can be imagine it is same for Osun, Ekiti and Ondo States.

In that Lagos there has been Igbos who rose to JUSTICES of the Lagos State High Court.

You can find so many in the Lagos State University.

If you tell them these things they will tell you one Alhaji Maigoro Maitaba was first Mayor of Enugu or One Ogbeni Iyanda Gbewudani was the was Asst Premier to Michael Opara.

If you ever managed to count ONE YORUBA/HAUSA/FULANI in the Civil Service or Political Structures of SE IGBOLAND then I will count at least 500 IGBOS from other regions of the country enjoying even better deal.

Even the Fulanis wouldn't have woken up to their Fulanization plans if they weren't triggered by Nzeogwu. Their Fulanization was something of 300-YEAR AGENDA, Nzeogwu coup abridged it for them and now they are achieving it in less than 60years.

Tell them these things and they tag you as BIGOT, TRIBALIST AND IGBO-HATER.

THEIR own is THEIR OWN but YOURS has to be OUR OWN.

They cry and assume the status of victimhood. Coincidence and random acts can not replicated….

Ebonyi State had 39 delegates in the APC presidential primary election that just ended. Out of that figure, Engr David Umahi got 38 votes; Dr Ogbonnaya Onu got 1 vote making it 39. Imo had over 100 delegates. Rochas Okorocha got zero. Emeka Nwajiuba got only 1 vote. Where did Imo votes go? They simply voted for Tinubu of the Yoruba extraction. Anambra State had about 100 delegates, Ikeobasi Mokelu from Anambra got zero vote. Where did Anambra votes go? Simply they went to Tinubu and Amaechi. They didn't vote for a South Eastern aspirant. Abia had about 100 delegates. They didn't vote for a South Eastern aspirant. They voted for Sen. Dr Ahmed Lawan of the North East. Enugu had about 50 delegates. They didn't vote for a South Eastern aspirant. They possibly shared their votes to Tinubu and Amaechi.

Tomorrow, South East will be chanting the song of marginalisation when it's clear that apart from Ebonyi State, other South East States are a sellout in the struggle to have South Eastern persons grabbing presidential tickets of major political parties in Nigeria. This they replicated in the presidential primary of the PDP. Only Ebonyi State delegates delivered a South Easterner --- Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim 100 percent. Anambra, Enugu, Abia and Imo States sold theirs. It's important that people of the South East who aren't into politics note this. When we talk about the state that has interest of the Igbo at heart politically, only Ebonyi State comes to mind.
With this kind of mentality by the other four South East States, the Igbo man doesn't stand a chance into the Aso Rock apart from a situation of the Yar'dua and Goodluck Jonathan repeats. In the Enugu-Onitsha expressway construction project linking the West African states, Ebonyi State constructed its own portion. Enugu and Anambra States did away with theirs. Today, these sections are almost in a state of impassability. I hope Igbo people are taking record of this so that by tomorrow, whoever is complaining should know the quarters to take their complaints to.

Igbos are the ones marginalising themselves and when the judgement comes to fore, Ebonyi State should be excluded from the statistics of the South East States that are mercantile in politics and anti Igbo political movement and philosophy. Congratulations to Ndi Ebonyi for the exemplary outings they have undertaken so far.

Try and quote me well:


So I don't know exactly whom you are referring to as awori, but I know Lagos is not "yorubaland", it never has been and never will be.





My friend, most people in Lagos today have nothing to do with the indigenous people of Lagos. Lagos is a victim of extensive migration: slave returnees from Brazil, "yoruba" from neighbouring towns, haussa, Igbo, ijaw...
The original owners of Lagos were part of Benin empire. And the Oba of Lagos was directly chosen by the Oba of Benin to rule Lagos on his behalf.



Lagos is Aworiland

Lagos is 100% Yorubaland

The Awori are 100% Yorubas and from Ife Originally



On the day the British Colonial Government first landed in Lagos in 1851 Oyo controlled Badagry Area including Seme Which they had taken from the king of Dahomey along with Porto Novo (Ajase) in War .

The Oyos had initially also taken Allada ,Ouidah and Cotonou at the time but the King of Dahomey had managed to take them back while the Oyo were very busy fighting the Power drunk Afonja and the Fulani at Ilorin

The Oyos had fought Dahomey as Allies of the Eguns
aare oona kakanfo oyabi had led the Oyo Army

The Abeokuta Egba Army Controlled all of Lagos Mainland and all the Territory from there to Abeokuta Which they had won in the Ota War of 1842 in Which the Oyos of Ibadan fought as Allies of Oba Kosoko and the Awori and received such a heavy defeat at the hands of the Egbas that the Ibadan Army had to be smuggled back home.

The whole Episode almost led to the downfall of Basorun Oluyole back at Ibadan

The Ijebu Controlled Everything East and North of Lekki

All Oba Kosoko Controlled was the Slave market and Port of Isale Eko on Lagos Island, Even Ikoyi belonged to the Onikoyi who was Awori Yoruba with Oyo roots

Again if you hear that Yorubas spent 100 years fighting themselves till 1878,

Just know that the Egba, Ijebu and Oyo Which included Ibadan were fighting for Control of the Coast of Lagos

Control of the Coast of Lagos meant Titanic Wealth. but unfortunately much of that was from the Slave trade

The Lagos territory Controlled by the Egbas , Oyo and Oba Kosoko belonged to the Awori People who were the most Peaceful and accommodating of all Yoruba Clans


Eko is Yoruba short for Ereko which means field and for Confirmation Ereko Market where the Egbas and Ijebu traded is still on Lagos Island today
