lawani: Break up Nigeria? An average Yoruba MURIC person will call you Biafrauud for that suggestion to break up Nigeria. He is dreaming like Arewa Muslims for an Islamic Republic of Nigeria with the Easterns to be governed with Sharia criminal laws. Not that he does not understand that Nigeria is supposed to be divided into more manageable countries. Country of multi religious and multi ethnic groups never thrives unless the religion and culture of one group reign over others. |

lawani: There are lots of other words he can use that are not as disrespectful and provocative to the hosts as Ọba. Even Olórí ẹbi would be much better albeit as wrongly descriptive a title as Ọba but at least not insulting to the hosts. Anyway, I am sure a Yoruba person or even Non-Yoruba person more conversant than me in the language will turn up soon with better suggestions. |

successmatters: Is that why Igbos preferred to vote for Shagari instead of Awolowo because we dont know Awolowo but you knew Shagari and Ekwueme? And is that why no single Yoruba loved by his people are hated by Igbos, Awolowo, Abiola, Olu Falae? And why is OBJ better to be voted for than Olu Falae. You guys are too proud and selfish. You think you know our people than us? The same way you could not vote for Okorocha, Orji Kalu etc is the same reason we hated OBJ and others that you love in our land. It is very ironic, that Igbos want to tell us who is good among us but we cannot do the same for them. We never wanted OBJ but you loved him. Many of us like the likes of Joe Igbokwe but you hate him. Igbos have now right to decide who is good among us the same way we cannot force their own people on them. The earlier you guys get that the better for you |

Igbos earn all their livings outside igbo states.. they earn livings in Lagos, Kono, Kaduna etc. How can others be their problem? |

U are wrong. Ur Peter Obi that u suddenly turned to Saint Obi, d Sum of 290m cash was found on him as far back as 2009. When Tinubu ruled Lagos, Lagos allocation was withheld by obj but d man managed to rule Lagos State. D problem of u people is that u don’t like to see a better person. I know if Tinubu is an Igbo man, I know d narrative would have changed to we are d one controlling d politics of Lagos. My point is u people should know how to celebrate an achiever so that u too can be celebrated. No African politician has 100% record of holiness |

MomohMrMoore: There are over 30 million people living in the SE alone apart from other Igbo lands out of 200 million Nigerians and as Igbos have income in other places, Hausas and Yorubas are also the same in their millions because they monopolize the industries they specialize in and have to spread across the country to access the market. Igbos are not alone in making money everywhere. They are just majority in some trades. |

Harlekarmar: I don't agree about African politicians. There are politicians in this country with clean records that you can't point to a single error not even corruption that they committed. No moral bankruptcy. Tafa Balewa, Awolowo, Akintola, Aminu Kano, Shagari, Ekwueme to mention only a few well known names. Don't spoil Africans as if they are a morally deficient species of human beings. That would be wrong. |

Sharpsharp00123:Glad that you mentioned this. I just moved from New York to Atlanta so I decided to check out this Nigerian restaurant. Soon I started seeing men coming in to the restaurant with these "loud" colored dressings( yes they like to wear attention-seeking clothes like Bush men),bragging and making noise. Soon as I heard them speaking igbo, no one told me to quickly finish my meal and RUN. If you are in Diaspora, RUN from these People.....They can NEVER be clean, even their so called educated Professionals! 3 Likes |

At least Lagos is not igboland and may be excused especially since the attacks were not widespread, continuous or left unchecked. In contrast, can you explain the bigger, continuous and carnage-degree of attacks by igbos on fellow Igbos and others in igbo land, and the ridiculous scenario where more Igbos continue to show more concern about Lagos where they enjoy far more safety than Igboland where their safety is almost completely eroded? That is what the deputy speaker Benjamin Kalu is trying to make you igbos see. But I guess that must be difficult because igbos can’t claim to be victims of fellow igbos as it doesn’t fit the victim or marginalization mentality/narratives unlike when they dwell on Lagos where the so called xenophobia is more political, micro and mostly restricted in its entirety. That is why most Igbo leaders are being called out repeatedly (including Obi) for jumping on narratives that portray victimization of igbos by others (even where insignificant) than dwell on bigger carnages or grave injustices being perpetrated by some igbos against entire Igbo race right in igboland. That there is the height of hypocrisy! Counter this with facts, if any. DeadCountry: |

successmatters: Very smart of you, we know you all too well. You called out politicians who opposed obi, most especially APC politicians. The gburugburu, T.A Orji and Ikpeazu of this world will never get a mention from you guys because they are members of your beloved PDP. Bunch of hypocrites. Chimaroke was governor for eight years and senator for eight years under PDP non of you came out to castigate him rather you were rewarding him politically the moment he opposed obi he became a bad person. |

discusant: Stop all these nonsense talk na. Aren't you ashame? Is it only lagos that was built with proceeds from crude oil? Your state and other states in your region was built with the proceeds of what? Is you state not receiving monthly allocation from the federal government? Why are you sounding like it is only lagos that is receiving all the money made from crude oil sale? Go and hold your wicked governor responsible for your predicament and leave other states alone pls. |

successmatters: Most young Igbos on Social Media like blaming the Hausa-Fulanis and later the Yorubas for all the problems of Nigeria, curiously they also like to absolve Igbos of any problems in Nigeria and project the Igbos as Victims of other Nigerians. 1 Like |

successmatters: The topic is really about Tinubu but the Igbos have been whipping up sentiments against the Yorubas since the beginning of this year and the tempo has triple since May-29,2023. Any fair minded and objective analyst that is conversant with the Nigerian cyber space will notice this trend. The naked truth is that the Igbos can NOT win in this game by antagonizing the Hausa-Fulanis and the Yorubas. 1 Like |

franchasofficia: See Victim Mentality at play. Most Igbos supported their son, Peter Obi but he came third in the election. Yorubas voted APC, PDP and LP but the same Igbos are now blaming the Yoruba Muslims for ' sidelining the Igbos in National Politics ' Everyone voted for their choices but your inherent Victim Mentality still made you to be accusing others of the consequences of your actions. 1 Like |

franchasofficia: You can NOT abrogate the rights of the Yorubas as citizens of Nigeria. Over 15 candidates from different parts of contested the Presidential election. Your favorite Igbo candidate contested too but was defeated, how is that the blamed of the Yorubas? You think if Tinubu had not contested, Peter Obi would have defeated Atiku? 1 Like |
