In west Africa, there is practically no barrier against migration. An Igbo woman I met in Lagos told me there may be more Hausas in Enugu than Igbos. A Maiduguri Arab man in Lagos told me there are more Yorubas in Maiduguri than Igbos. I met a Yoruba man based in Kaduna who was PDP chairman of his LG. The report of 500k Yorubas in Anambra is probably correct. Artisans, bank workers, federal civil servants, produce buyers, professionals and traders will be up to that number. There are some occupations controlled by Yorubas in the east as well as some controlled by Hausas. The same for Igbos in the west. Then there are many Yoruba women married to Igbos living in Anambra. Someone said majority of taxi drivers in Onitsha are Yoruba. I know that in PH, almost half might be Yoruba etc as I have lived in PH. The estimate may therefore be correct.

Donykua:
Common sense is not common! 500k or50? What's is the population of the people, living in Anambra, as at today?

JpBiz92:
many Yoruba women married to Igbo men in anambra?
Are you for real?
Always say what you know.

lawani:


Of course there will be a number of Yoruba women who followed their Anambra husbands to Anambra. Isn't that obvious?

JpBiz92:
what do you mean by this?
Anambra men hardly marry outside southeast. So if at all there are anambra men married to Yorubas, they are so minimal to make any significance. We are talking about Yorubas that migrated to the east in search of greener pasture.

lawani:


Someone from the east actually told me there are plenty Yoruba women married to Igbo men living in Igbo villages across the East. Economic migrants too would be plenty. They are not traders is why you don't know. Traders are more visible while artisans, professionals, civil servants and etc are less visible and that does not reduce from their population.

JpBiz92:
believe whatever you want, I have given you what is obtainable here.

lawani:


Who do you think people would rather believe?. A nairaland account or the leader of the Yoruba in Anambra?

JpBiz92:
Please show me a speech by any prominent igbo man or woman residing in lagos calling Lagos a no man's land. Please show me where igbos are threatening Yorubas in lagos or destroying lives and properties because of election. Please show me link of any secret meeting by Igbos discussing how to take over Lagos either religiously or politically. If you cannot show me any of the above, then you're really mentally challenged like most of your people. If all these rubbish you guys are saying are based on social media, then I can boldly tell you that Yorubas in the east deserved to be lynched and killed because you guys have made many unprintable comments against Igbos and their land on social media. Has any eze Ndi igbo in lagos tried to overthrow a Yoruba Oba?.

Where are the proofs of Igbos disrespecting their hosts if not on social media.... Answer me!

tollyboy5:
Wetin man dey find 4 anambra?

Just imaging IPOB catch you and noticed you're yoruba. Omo!

Anything beyond SW, Middle belt and South South is a NO for me.

Modified:
Alot of mentions, i actually excluded the core north and south east not because of bigotry, Its base on stories of kidnap and some unimaginable form of robbery together with the little headline i do see. One soldier guy i met recently who is from the east but his parent lived in delta state narrate some robbery accident he has encountered coming back from onisha.

We also talked about the boko haram issue in the north. Pesin cannot express his mind again some people will turn it to tribal stuff.. Ok i now know that a lot of yorubas lived in the east.

Funny enough during the time we do see headline about ipob in the east, I know an igbo ladies that took flight to school. So how do you expect me to judge security in the east after all this signs?

vannessa7:


You are already running berserk based on social media post I made but expect Yorubas to overlook all your people's social media vetuperances, your eze ndigbo even threaten to bring terrorist to Lagos until the security forces arrested him, every Nigerian is aware of your obscenities and hatred for anything and anyone non igbo, you can't take what you give, an example is the bolded, if social media post does not matter DSS wouldn't have arrested your eze ndigbo and that osun guys for their posts, pen is mightier than the sword, an adage says. During the last election an igbo woman brought out a gun and actually killed an innocent Yoruba man, igbos destroyed Lagos state properties in the guise of end SARS protest, all these are on Google to verify. You are always the aggressors but when your target fight back you guys start crying all over social media, you curse, you insult, you lie and malign just to get your aim without any consideration for the other person. I'm indifferent to your insults FYI.

JpBiz92:
is this how you people are wired to behave?
To be unreasonable and proud?
Look at the rubbish you mentioned above, so these rubbish above are why you hate Igbos?

Endsars that was led in lagos by your Yoruba artists has now turned into Igbos destroying Lagos. Social media matters but MC oluomo and remi tinubu are still walking freely. How many Yorubas are arrested for the hate speech they make here every second against the Igbos?. Emancipate yourself from stupidity. It will help you a great deal.

MomohMrMoore:
500k? what are they doing there? Even the Igbo traders themselves have left there for Lagos and all over the country. They only go home during end of year. Where Igbos have left cos of trade wonder what others doing there.
I dont believe the story.

post=123849076:

Anambra is third largest economy in Nigeria after Lagos and Abuja when you minus oil producing states, economy prosperity attract all tribes no matter religion, tribe and what have you, when those that first visit are doing well more than their previous base they invite their people, Anambra is witnessing large influx of all tribes in Nigerians even neighboring countries like Togo, Benin republic and host of others

If you don't show when igbos called Lagos a no man's land, Ogun will kill you

MSGAMBLE9:
greener pastures in East? is it the same East with less IGR than Oyo state alone... 500k ko 5mill ni...


Don't be a joke....

JpBiz92:
what you should have posted is the ipob call to destroy properties in lagos and not Ohanaeze condemning it

JpBiz92:
keep lying to yourself as long as it makes you feel good. Your people here unlike Igbos in lagos are tailors, drivers, masons, agbo sellers and other kinds of labourers. South West is heaven on earth and they are here in the east struggling to survive

ablejesus26:


Do You also need a list of bigots using monikers claiming Igbo, Hausa, Ss here to shame themselves doing senseless tribal shenanigans?

There are bigots in every tribe, there's nothing like political correctness to this reality, if Your mind does not pally with this, You should really try out my suggested mental recourse.

Having a mental recourse is not a bad thing, one who has set His heart to having good mental health should see it as a routine SOP for His journey in life.

Karlman:

Nowhere in this discuss have i posited about good and bad people not being found amongst all tribes and tongues.
So stop leveraging on that line to pad up, your failed attempts to understate or underplay the deadly bigotry, despicable tribalism and overly sustained campaigns of calumny aimed at the people of the SE region which has been going on here at the political section for years, as a superior argument over my stand that here in this forum and especially in the political section, that there is no sensible yoruba man or woman in this forum. And in fact that the only life line that has kept Nairaland Political Section the most busy is the sustained campaigns of calumny against the people of South East without which that particular forum would have died from traffic.
Empirical evidences abound. Go and do your research and find out how much traffic is generated by topics aimed at the SE and compare that to topics aimed at any other region.
And please stop asking me to do a recourse when truth stares me in the face year in year out because if anyone needed a mental recourse it should be people like you who are blind to truth and honesty.
Goodbye!

Yen yen cry no more boy, am not the UNDP that called SE " The Southern Ghetto'... A region of low Economical activities less than Oyo and you guys couldn't even package the Propaganda well saying 500k in dirty unhabitable Anambra...


https://www.nairaland.com/7712273/poor-road-condition-nnewi-anambra



SE is a backward region everyone is avoiding like a plague even you and your blodas...

JpBiz92:

MSGAMBLE9:
500k kee you there...

Una no fy even package the Propaganda well...500k in Anambra state alone

Isn't that lie ridiculous enough...

JpBiz92:
go and sort yourself out. You're suffering from something.

500,000 of your people are in anambra alone struggling to survive.

MSGAMBLE9:
Ok, according to an Okoro jew " Yoruba make up 15% of Anambra state' the same Anambra it indigene dey run commot via Night buses in thousands everyday....no be juju be that...
