I went into my Facebook page and all I saw was bigoted and hateful Yorubas making this coming gubernatorial elections about igbos’ plan to take over Lagos. I had to run out of there because I was disgusted by the messages all preaching hate and fear of the igbos—who I know are harmless because I’m educated and enlightened and I have risen above tribalism.

Even though we all know all the hate and fear mongering by Yorubas are huge lies meant to destroy this country’ unity, what have igbo leaders said about this issue igbos are facing in Lagos?

I feel so sorry that igbos have been subjected to this humiliation in their own country just because they have leaders who don’t love them. This constant cry and hate by we Yorubas against igbos is so wrong and we all know Tinubu is to blame for all these. But what have igbos and their leaders done about this? When we tell igbos to endeavor to go back home and build and stay in igbo land, they think we are hating them. Now igbos have to be made the boogey man at every election season because Tinubu and hateful Yorubas alway want APC to win Lagos.

The fact is that millions of Yorubas (myself inclusive) voted against APC on February 25th and we will vote against APC on Saturday, March 11th. Despite this clear fact, hateful and mostly illiterate Yorubas (many educated Yorubas too) will always make every election season about igbos because we have been defeated by igbos on our land just based on hardwork.

Like I keep saying, I blame the igbos for their love for and influx into Lagos. While you have a right to live anywhere in Nigeria as citizens of this country, you should know that Nigeria has not matured into nationhood and the claim of One Nigeria is in name only and doesn’t translate into real unity.

Having said all these, it brings me back to the theme this of this thread: igbo leaders are weak and ineffectual. How can this kind of hate be directed towards igbos at every election season in Lagos and igbo leaders will keep quiet? Why do Igbo leaders like money so much more than their own self esteem and the pride of their tribe? Every time, Yorubas in Lagos disgrace igbos in their country and threaten violence and expulsion against them and igbo leaders just look away?

Igbos too have their own blame in all these mess. They have abandoned their homeland and now take another man’s land as their own. While I don’t believe igbos constitute any threat to Yorubas and I even want Igbos to remain because they enrich our land and culture, the fact is that most Yorubas are tribalistic and hateful. The constant attacks on Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour by hateful Yorubas is being veiled as a pushback against igbo takeover of Lagos. This strategy used against gbadebo is a veiled attack against our igbo brothers in disguise. We have been bested by fellow country men who are hardworking and enterprising and now want to chase them out.

The long term solution still remains that igbos must evolve in their ways and method of operating their business by ploughing their resources back home and live in igboland. I have been to Enugu before and I stayed there for one year for a program and I enjoyed it. So I wonder why igbos always flee the place. It’s this constant migration from igbo land that has given hateful Yorubas the temerity to belittle igbos.

While some of Nnamdi Kanu’s messages were hateful, the bulk of his messages to igbos were truthful and came from a place of love. He truly cares and all he said have manifested. These constant hateful and xenophobic narratives from hateful Yorubas will soon lead to avoidable violence if igbo leaders don’t come out in defence of igbos. Their silence amid the humiliation being meted to igbos is inexcusable and just goes to show how bad igbos have had it when it comes to leadership and politics.

The ball is in igbos’ court to pick themselves up and prove to the world that they are a great tribe by eschewing every intra-tribal hate and competition to engender an igbo renaissance which will lead to the rapid repatriation of material and human resources to igbo land. The impact of that conscious movement to develop igboland will shame igbo detractors and haters and will elevate igbos to their rightful place amongst the various tribes in the Nigerian contraption.

NB: This thread has progressed very badly due to the rudeness, pride and stubbornness of some igbos who responded. I opened this thread to advocate for igbos but one spare part dealer in a 2 by 2 shop just insulted me due to the innate pride in most igbos. Maybe we liberal Yorubas should leave you alone to be dealt with. I’m disgusted already.

That's why they Hate Tinubu like hell

Is the hate not justified? I’m yoruba and I loathe Tinubu too. So it’s not about igbos only.

how? Tell me.

Igbos are Tribal Bigots and they practice Emotional politics.

The way Nnamdi Kanu is going to curse some people after the SC judgement if they call his name cos they traded him for Obi's presidency

chamboi1:
how? Tell me.

Is Tinubu an exemplary individual? Will Baba Obafemi Awolowo be happy that such a person is a political leader in yorubaland? I’m disgusted by the man and his way of doubly politics.

He’s a thug and should not be emulated by any real omoluabi. What are you saying?

Just to correct you, Nnamdi Kanu is not my leader

Nnamdi Kanu also does not have what it takes to be my leader

Peter Obi is closer to being my leader than Nnamdi Kanu.

But has he not been vindicated?

Are you happy with how you’re being humiliated in your own country?

Forget the messenger and look at the message.

Devoid of the hateful messages and the violence, the man was right & he loves you igbos. Think about it.

Tell me on competence grounds how your candidate better than Sanwo olu. I'll respect your decision.

But if you're doing it just to follow Trend.
Because of them say Tinubu owns everything in lagos without any conclusive evidence.
Because your emotion is hurt that Tinubu won the presidential election.


You're a politically illiterate and bigot!!!

Philgafauto:

No be those who dey reflect on their past activities fit see what they are doing wrong, after the SC judgement they will distract themselves with so many jargons.. You think Tinubu won't also receive some of what they accused Buhari for?

Bigot? Tinubu is a yoruba like me but he’s not a standard to be emulated or envied. He stole the election and the mandate will be retrieved if we actually have a Supreme Court in this country.

They have serious problems and they don’t even want to acknowledge their own issues.

But they have good reasons not to like Tinubu. Many Yorubas loathe Tinubu too.

Igbos have to get their shit together.

chamboi1:

The evidence will be presented in court. It’s a process. The opposition parties are on it.

Are you rushing?

chamboi1:

I’m saying the truth and you know it.

He’s not an exemplary leader by any stretch. He has too many ethical and criminal baggages to be someone to be looked up to.

Philgafauto:

and if they don't win base on inconclusive evidence that I have seen flying the social space sofar

Nnamdi is the leader of Igbos and not igbos.
Power is totally decentralized in igbo land so understand that and have peace. We dont have a king because everyone is a king in igbo land as long as you can take care of yourself and your family. Reason we don't hope and wait for govt handout or enslave ourselves to one purported leader.

I'm not forcing anyone to hate BAT. But igbos are bloody doublestandard. They'll protect their own people and we yorubas are easy to jump on useless trends or wokeness.

Till date CSP Okafor can't be found and Obi is not even talking about it.

No be swear. Some of us love you guys but una no dey listen and una pride too much.

Nnamdi Kanu is the only leader you have who cares about you—his hateful rhetoric and violent method notwithstanding.

We are actually pitying you for how you’re being messed up and threatened in Lagos but it seems you guys never listen.

You’re very correct. They have serious issues. Some of us just pity them for how they are being treated.

They cannot escape the reality that they have to develop their land and majority of them stay there. The alternative is constant disgrace and humiliation.

See if I explained all what transpired during the acclaimed Lekki massacre on this forum, it might affect the forum itself so it's not something that can't be discussed here. All the narratives was concorted by few people but the yeyebrities help them with the promotion, reason why most of them stayed out of this year election cos it cots some of them their career

Please if you don't have any conclusive evidence to back your claims please don't channel it near me.

I want the following.

1. A court judgement deeming the accused as being guilty.
2. URl or documents to Government/Court Achive for prosecution.
NB: if you have any evidence of the following. Nacro, Illicit Wealth from government funds, Corruption and Election Manipulation. Please forward your evidence to a court of competence. Not until then FEM

Someone will be typing nonsense from his hut in kwara state where a fulani man is an emir,do you even understand the meaning of slavery. We run your consumer based economy from north to south, just accept it even Buhari your master called us 5% and close your borders but at the end of the day SE is on top of the food chain while his north is the poorest region.

But I don’t like the way you guys have turned the election against them like they are not Nigerians.

True, they are a deeply flawed people but I don’t think they are harmful to we Yorubas. I still feel safer with them compared to hausas.

Their issue is a small one that can be mitigated with specific policies targeted at curtailing them. Why the violence and hate? Is this what Papa Awolowo would have done?

You’re a slave if you can’t lead.

You think this is a joke?

If GRV wins lagos election. I wish him all the best. But I just don't like that he is getting voters empthaty.

GRV, Jandor and Sanwo should be compared based on competence not tribal divise, themsay Lagos- Daddy, Voters Political illiteracy.....

Bro they started it. TRUST ME.


2015, when many people were voting for Ambode based on Fashola's performance. I don't know about anywhere but I know about my street in Mushin, Lagos
The Igbos had meeting to vote for PDP based on what reason abeg.

I’m indifferent to who wins Lagos. I just don’t like the tribal turn the election has taken.

If I am to look at the behavior of some igbos, I will just look away and say they deserve all the hate they get. You can see one of them insulting me and saying they are at the top of the food chain even after I opened this thread for their sake.

If Tinubu enters, I will enjoy his government very well but my conscience who just allow me be tribal but the behavior and stubbornness of igbos is very discouraging.
