akinremiayomide: Was the statement made or not?. In any case, it is common knowledge that your people have lean liver. So, Igbos fought and lost when their lives was on the line. Fulani are daily kidnapping and murdering Yoruba, your people are still refugees in Benin Republic, have you fought back?. Biafra did not fight Nigeria. Nigeria forces could not have prevailed against Biafra in a nation to nation armed conflict even in the Biafran military constitutionality at the time. Biafra fought Britain primarily. British and Soviet armaments and Egyptian mercenary airmen. What ended that war was not military exploit in the battle field by federal forces, but the conspiratorial use of air blockade to entrench and maintain starvation in Biafraland. A clear war crime for which a Yoruba man should stand trial today if he had not cowardly taken his own life What you lean livered She-men call victory was a bold, pragmatic and wise decision by the Biafran leadership to save it's children and people from an impending starvation. Did you hear Gown say "no victor, no vanquished"?. Against your ravaging ignorance, I'm happy to educate you to the effect that Biafra was not limited to Igbos, but their eastern kins and kits as well. Every combat participant know that there were far more federal casualty in that war than were Biafrans. I know most of you were deprived history lessons, and your elders truncated your limited education with lies to obfuscate their weakness and cowardice, but these are the facts. Facts are stubborn. Be careful about the table you shake. 5 Likes |

DeepThroater: the general hate for the Igbo is not new Chinua Achebe wrote about it "The origin of the national resentment of the Igbo is as old as Nigeria and quite as complicated. "But it can be summarised thus: The Igbo " being receptive to change, individualistic and highly competitive, gave the Igbo man an unquestioned advantage over his compatriots in securing credentials for advancement in Nigerian colonial society. "Unlike the Hausa/Fulani he was unhindered by a wary religion and unlike the Yoruba unhampered by traditional hierarchies. This kind of creature, not fearing God nor man, was custom-made to grasp the opportunities, such as they were, of the white man's dispensation. And the Igbo did so with both hands. "Although the Yoruba had a huge historical and geographical head-start the Igbo wiped out their handicap in one fantastic burst of energy in the twenty years between 1930 and 1950. "Had the Igbo been a minor ethnic group of a few hundred thousand, their menace might have been easily and quietly contained. But they ran in their millions! Like J.P Clark's fine image of 'ants filing out of the wood' the Igbo moved out of their forest home, scattered and virtually seized the floor. "But this kind of success can carry a deadly penalty: the danger of hubris, overweening pride and thoughtlessness, which invites envy and hatred;" 3 Likes |

akinremiayomide:I did not say that Igbos have more properties in Lagos than yorubas. However, many yorubas in Lagos feel threaten by the success of igbos in Lagos. That is the motive behind your claim that igbos only own 5% properties. You want to downplay the situation on ground. Until a Yoruba man accepts an igboman as his brother , the fear of him taking over his inheritance will continue to hurt him. 2 Likes |

Igbo is really a very great tribe. While they go about climbing every mountain, rolling down every valley and crawling into every hole to make money and make life better for themselves and family, others are busy talking about them all the time. All the lands and property they bought all over Nigeria and beyond were lawfully sold to them. They never forced anyone to sell their lands. They don't go about killing, raping and forcefully taking peoples land and property like some people do. They go about their businesses legitimately, Yet, they are the most hated. Success really attracts envy. 4 Likes |

akinremiayomide: Every tribe has its own vocal minority. I can assure you that majority of igbos in Lagos know that Lagos is originally a Yoruba land. That is the reason the igbos in Lagos have never protest not producing the Governor of Lagos. However it is injustice for the yorubas not to consider the igbos for at least three commissioners in Lagos. This is the feeling of threat that I am talking about. The igbos are major stakeholders in Lagos and derserve more respect from yorubas. 3 Likes |

diadem10: I should tell you what the federal gov’t did in and for Lagos!? You ARE joking right!? The federal gov’t built Apapa and Tin-Can Island ports; built Murtala Mohammed airport; built most if not all the older flyovers still being used today; refilled marshland to build National Arts Theatre and FESTAC for FESTAC-77; built the national stadium; built the then Carter bridge…3rd Mainland bridge and one or two others; built Tinubu Square; built a state house on Lagos Island; built a federal secretariat; built 1004 flats; built Tafawa Balewa square; built Egbin power station; built the national rail that terminated at Iddo Terminus….and which has been recently upgraded and with brand new stations built; etc! However, the socio-economic benefits of the aforementioned pale in comparison to the ethno-politically inspired policies and acts of the federal gov’t that led to the influx of millions of Nigerians into Lagos thus giving it the unfair socio-economic advantage denied other cities in the then Eastern Region, like Port Harcourt; Onitsha; Nnewi; Enugu; and Calabar! A few of the policies and acts by the federal gov’t that gave Lagos an unfair edge over other cities were: the siting of all foreign embassies and high-commissions in Lagos which meant those from other regions, like those in the East who didn’t have any diplomatic presence in their region, had to troop down to Lagos (with all the danger involved) to apply for, process and collect their visas; the siting of international gateways in just Lagos, (and later) Port Harcourt, Kano and Abuja, which meant international travellers from regions in the East had to travel abroad and back via Lagos and the other cities mentioned (again, while navigating all the dangers involved); the over-concentration of port/shipping activities in Lagos, thereby denying ports in the East the patronage they needed to thrive and be self-sustaining; as a consequence of the aforementioned and the presence of the federal gov’t in Lagos, blue-chip/multi-national coys, headquarters of Banks and Oil/Gas coys were sited in Lagos as a consequence, leading to the state gov’t raking in a lot of PAYE and other tax/ levy receipts; also as a consequence of all the aforementioned, millions of Nigerians and foreigners were living and working in Lagos which inevitably had a multiplier effect on the states economy! Whatever little achievements you can attribute to Lagos state governors over the subsequent years after the regions and true fiscal federalism were abolished…all these are largely as a result of the already established advantages and political-economy in place that gave Lagos the edge it has today over other states/regions in the country! You think, had Tinubu been the governor of Osun state and was forced to claim his Iragbiji ancestry, that he would have amounted to anything more than a footnote in governance and politics of the south-west!? What has given the man the prominence he has today is Lagos commonwealth that he has greedily cornered for himself and his immediate family, friends and lackeys! 2 Likes |
