Lagos: Igbos hated Yorubas but want to die in Lagos

Power: Yorubas have always edged Igbos in power game

Wisdom: Yorubas ahead Igbos in wisdom, a reason why they are ahead in politocs and other aspects

Education: it is glaring

Water: SW is blessed with its contiguousness to the Altantic, South East is landlocked.

Respect and humility: Yorubas have culture of humility and respect for elders/instititions. Conversely na money dey detemine respect you earn in Igboland not your age or position in society, even the traditional institutions.

You want more?
Oga , this is petty.

An igboman has no time for this hate you are alleging.
No igboman would cross the niger bridge , sat for hours in a vehicle to Sw ,then arrive lagos and hate becomes his target.
Oga , we all have target incase no one has ever told you that. Hate doesnt build house in igboland. if you fail to bring something home when others are coming home , you have failed.

My observation in all of this igbo hate this and that is reverse comments.
A yoruba landlords have often been caught getting angry that this small omo ibo you just came to lagos few years ago , wearing slippers is now driving two cars and built a house.

Ahmed , my computer technician told me last month , when i ask him why they are are many in a shop; he told me that they yorubas couldnt get shop because igbos are ready to pay anything to get a shop but they dont have the money.He even pointed to me yorubas trading under umbrellas and told me that is what they could afford.

I bought the office complex where my wife has an office , just 10 years getting to the area. The former yoruba owners of the place were like 10 in number. They even collected agent and agreement from me again and when i asked why , they got angry. Today , almost all my tenants there are yorubas. to their amazement, i didnt evict them , i didnt increase their rent and i let them pay whenever they are able. it is only my wife that even knows when their rents are due. i have heard them not once or twice saying , ah this omo igbo who just came here not long, though some of them are not saying it in anger because they have igbo inlaws that are flowing well with them and are doing well
NO BUSINESSES OWNER WHO OPENS SHOP AND HATES DOES WELL, YOU THAT IGBOS DO WELL IN BUSINESS unlike your people, who will insult you if you dont buy at their price. If you like say anything to an igbo trader , he keeps begging you to buy each time you pass. No time to hate .


these are the sources of the hate

Without a doubt.

Perhaps you are impressed by the use of words in academic like writing style which are not even register words even if we were to assume it.

This is just a collection of figures of speech and long words, perhaps you would agree if you differentiate semantics from syntax.

This would not even pass IELTS writing.

Even if you read the works of Colson Whitehead, as long as he isn't writing in Obi's favour, you would label him a wimp of a writer.

polls are predictions... It's like saying Man utd ll beat leceister city before match then on field leceister beat man utd.. nobody should rely on polls... Who told u those in villages don't make sound voting decision...

1.Yes, polls are predictions. But they can give accurate results , so long as the statistical methods are accurate.

To put it roughly, an accurate pre-election poll in Nigeria would have needed a multistaged sampling method...spread across as many states as possible. Even then, that needs a lot of time and effort...which is not possible 3 months to an election.

Conduct the elections 20 times Obi won't win... LP has no deep Roots like PDP APC...

APC won because they were united compared to PDP.

It does not matter to me whose favour he is writing in at all as it does not matter.

I do not need to read Colson whitehead as he is not my yardstick for measuring good writing because i have Chinua Achebe and Ngugi wa thiongo here in Africa.

I would never use the word wimp for example as i do not insult people only say things as i see it.

I am talking about the writing style but since you choose pettiness then i agree to disagree.

And if majority of the citizen voted to choose this person as their president,what is your own concern?

Is democracy not a game of numbers?

Is it not an abberation that a person that comes a distant 3rd is now fighting for 1st?

I don't understand all this grammar you so called educated people de blow. Wetin I know be say: Tinubu did not meet the Constitutional requirements and therefore should never be sworn in as the president. Doing so is tantamount to suspending our Constitution which is what Datti Ahmed is protesting against in advance.

In an ethnically diverse country like Nigeria, not conducting a credible, free and fair election is a threat to national cohesion and security.

If the fraud in INEC had conducted credible election, all these letter and counter-letter would not have arising.

But one fact I know is that Tinubu came a distant third position in my state of Rivers. How Wike changed the outcome is a matter for another day. And I believe it is the same scenerio that transpired in other states.

Let's tell ourselves the truth, the election that produced Tinubu was not credible. If he had won fairly, I believe the likes of Atiku, Obi would have congratulated him. Same way Jonathan congratulated Buhari and conceded defeat.

We don't have to be a slave to Merica in anyway.
The president-elect is a Nigerian and elected in Nigeria.
So our message is for ourselves.
We are second to none.

Nobody cares or is worried about what she wrote! They just want to point out the fact that she is an ethnic jingoist. Someone who would accept an honour only if it is coming from someone from her tribal stock. If she can reject a national honour from an elected president, it means she is not interested in the affairs of the country. She's only interfering because a SEterner is involve.

But baseless write ups from Igbos shows patriotism? Yoruba youths supporting Obi are nationalists, Igbos supporting Obi are Heros, Igbos supporting PDP or APC are traitors and Yorubas supporting Tinubu are tribalists, Notherners supporting PDP or APC are illiterates and bigots?

Yet igbos doesn't want to go back to the most livable towns and cities like aba, umuahia, owerri, okigwe, awka, onitsha, Enugu, nsukka, abakaliki. Nowhere is more livable on earth 🌎 than listed above.

Anyways, no one knows these places outside Nigeria except Nigerians who lives outside.

Lagos is a beautiful place that has risen from it's ruins under military regime (1990-1999) to become the toast of the world.
I have worked with European and lived with them since 2010. They always lobby to come to the Nigeria branch of my office.
Lagos is sweet to them.
It is a sweet place to me too.

As soon as the rail network is improved upon, Igbos will have to cope with the pain of having nothing to cheer in their region except ipob.
