i like threads like , the division of nigeria is not far ahead, i also love the fact that these animosities are now being exported to naijaplas ,lindaikeji and co ,its time to stop pretending . for those calling for united southerne nigeria i hope you see it now, you people can go ahead and unite the south as lng as ijaw land is not included. smh.

I am glad you brought that up. You Igbos can be dispeakable at time with what you are doing on those websites.

The rate you insult the yorubas would make one think that this hate was born out of something different from with it is.

My friend, sharrap !!!! Abeg shut it. Your sort have no honour. You know nothing about Ghana and this is why you can say erroneously that Nigerians "run" the drug scene there. When shown you are wrong by those who really know Ghana (for more than ten years) you are dancing from pillar to post with incoherent babble instead of simply admitting that you are another self-hating Nigerian happy to conclude we are all over the world doing no good because some say so. Trust me when I tell you that Ghanaians , despite whatever they say, don't need any help committing crime.

Ask yourself if Nigerian armed robbers don't make it to the UK and the USA. Why don't they continue their activities over there? Yet they do so in other African Countries outside Nigeria. It is about willing local collaboration and the existence of a 'market'. Get that into your thick head once and for all. I don't hold Nigerians to be innocent but I don't judge them to be the scum of the earth either - especially since real knowledge makes me note reality.

Read Ghanaian newspapers (eg Graphic, Daily Guide) for two weeks. There is likely to be at least 10-20 reportage of armed robbery and heinous crime. Would it surprise you that suspects arrested, 99% of the time, are mostly Ghanaian? Yet folks like you come here talking ignorantly. My guy, you know nada about Ghana. Just give it up and apologise to your fellow Nigerians. They don't "run" crime in Ghana and you would know this if you really know Ghana and regardless of what the Ghanaians say. Balanced folks work with facts not market gossip.

In fact, I will prove what I say to the forum. I will be in Ghana this weekend for three weeks and then move on to Nigeria. I will buy the Graphic and Daily Guide newspapers everyday and reveal the content here. Let us put your silly, childish and totally false "Nigerians run crime in Ghana" jargon to the statistical test.

Nigg@ Learn to read. If you have inability to read, say so, therefore I can reduce my point to a childlike form for your inability. Point out where I, one_naira, said Nigerians are the number on drug dealers in Ghana? I said Nigerians are notoriously known for conducting criminal activities in Ghana, you stupid fool and went into dept and informed you of a, emphasis on A Nigerian business man caught drug dealing. I also mentioned name any criminal activity in Ghana, a Nigerian is involved in it one way or another and I said Nigerians are the number one foreigners in Ghanaian jail. All proven FACT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. Most Nigerians in Ghana are NOT business men.
The Nigerian drug dealer, the business man I spoke of

The jails in Ghana
Seven hundred and seven foreigners, mainly Nigerians, are serving various sentences in the country’s prisons.

Prostitution in Ghana
The sex workers who operate in Adum, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti region, said they were disenchanted that younger and prettier girls from Nigeria are gradually taking over the sex business as they could hardly retain their usual customers.

A Nigerian living in Ghana input of the relationship between the citizen of Ghana and the Nigerians residing in Ghana.
The truth is, if Ghana hopes to effectively challenge its own problems, its people must tell the naked emperor within each person the truth, stop seeing themselves as victims. True, Nigerian criminals have swarmed into Ghana, but the Ghanaian authorities can do something about that, and if they don’t, it’s their choice.

If you’ve never traveled out of your village, don’t speak of things you know nothing of. Nigg@, Nigerian image in USA (where I live for your information) isn’t peachy at all rather it is closer to Africans impression of Nigerians. Drug-dealers, highest IQ African, terrorist and 419ers just to name a few are some of the common American impression of Nigerians. A rumor that’s been spreading about (from the citizen of USA and the other African taking refuge in USA) but isn’t proven yet is that half of African jailed in America are Nigerian (caught for drug-dealers and 419 most). In UK, the impression does not differ far and the unfortunately, the same rumor spreading. In Malaysia, the same
http://allafrica.com/stories/201110040146.html
In China, over 1000 Nigerians were jailed in the past month for drug-trafficking.

Nigerians are detested globally and many Nigerians should be blamed and condemned for it.
Do we do so? No? what do we do, we try to deny it and chest-beat without having anything productive to back us up thus the reason another rumor claiming Nigerians glorify criminal activity. They go to other nation, destroy the nation and what do we do? NOTHING but screams Conspiracy. Nigerians like you are pathetic.
Una are pathetic. It is one of the main reasons I wish not to associate myself with Una. Pathetic

You accuse other of not being able to read yet it is clear you have a comprehension deficit. Below you wrote:

Nigerians in Ghana (excluding the students) are running almost all of the criminal lifestyle in their nation.

Now, how will any member of this forum, not suffering from your pitiful deficit, not conclude that you imply that Nigerians are the number 1 drug dealers in Ghana when you say Nigerians are "running almost all of the criminal lifestyle in their nation. Name it from drug trafficking, to 419, to prositution to armed robbery". Is this not plain old shamelessness from  you? You tell a lie and invariably tell more to prop up your original tall tale. "What a tangled web we weave when at first we seek to decieve" How apt in your case.

Furthermore, even the link you provided only expose your crass attempt at deception perhaps in a desperate attempt to make the crime fit the man by all means.

My guy, that very link provides this:

In a separate interview, the Head of Public Relations at the Ghana Immigration Service, ACP Francis Palmdeti, explained that Nigerians dominated the number of foreigners in the prisons probably because they constituted the highest number of expatriates in the country.

Obvious that Nigerians may naturally be the highest number of foreigners in Ghana's jail when their population in the Nation is, by far, bigger than any other !!!!  If there are 2 million Nigerians in Ghana compared to 10,000 Malians, then it is obvious to even the most unintelligent adult that , expectedly, more Nigerians will be in jail in Ghana than Malians. When you cannot even interprete statistics scientifically and logically, then it is fairly obvious you are a lost cause. You don't know nada about Ghana. Go and find out the real worth of Nigeria's investment in Ghana, related to total FDI (foreign direct investment), to note that many Nigerians in Ghana are not criminals as you ignorantly and self-hatingly assert.

Pls. understand what we are saying. an act of wickedness is not bravery. can you point out the bravery acts of Beng. Adek,  Adekunle was so eager to distroy the Igbos do to his uncontrollable hatread. I repeat an act of wickedness is not gallantry but cheating and falsehood.
If I'm fighting your village and decide to secretly use biological weapon on them. I can single handed kill everybody in your village. Now If I kill everybody in you village with biological weapon does that make be galant/brave soldier.

It is just frustration that can make any soldier do that and it is only weaklings that do that.
Study the WW2 history and see how Americans will start feeding any territory they captured that is rule of the game by brave soldiers. Only weaklings found in the army can do such thing especially when you give them the power under frustration.

A galant soldier will even if need be, drop his gun and ask you to come out for physical fight openly.

The most recent Kakanfo was Abiola. He didn't run away like Ojukwu even though he could have skipped to Benin Republic. He defiantly declared himself president and was arrested by Abacha. While in jail, Abacha wanted to release him only if he forgot about his mandate. Abiola's response? "Iku Ya Ju Esin Lo!" meaning death is better than dishonor! Now tell me if Ojukwu is worthy enough to wipe this Kakanfo's shoes!

While Abiola was making his case for the “international community” to help him secure power, and many Nigerians were rioting against the decision to annul his election, [size=28pt]Nelson Mandela, in a thinly-veiled criticism of Abiola’s flight, said that during their struggle against apartheid, they didn’t run off abroad, but stayed at home and fought their oppressors.

icon aus: It is high time this get clarrified . Igbos felt betrayed because the agreement Ojukwu had with Awo was that once Igbos secide that the yoruba people would follow suit by declaring their own country but Awo turned around to do the opposite and went further to support   the north in the war  . No time  ojukwu expected the yorubas to help him fight the war.

This is an OLD thread but I can't pass without asking WHAT AGREEMENT did Ojukwu have with Chief Awolowo? When was it signed? Who were the parties?

FYI and before you waste our time and parrot propaganda from ibo tribalist blind-bats: there WAS NEVER ANY AGREEMENT between Chief Awolowo and Ojukwu. Chief Awolowo was laying out strategic vision and providing leadership to "leaders of thought" in far away Ibadan and was not addressing ibos or Ojukwu. There was no internet or real time satellite communication in Nigeria in case Ojukwu was invited and tuned in via any of these technologies. Chief Awolowo, in fact, warned Ojukwu directly not to take the ruinions path, but he vaingloriously did and he (plus the ibos) paid the price for his hard headedness and stiff neckedness!

Actually,there is always hatred of yorubas towards igbos.i equally know that there is a hatred of igbos towards yorubas' behaviour but i neva think that Igbos hate yoruba to the extent yoruba hate them.actually,igbos doesnt even hate the hausa.and through-out the time i stayed in lagos,all i have seen was yorubas trying to bully the igbos for reasons i know not.anybody that think that Igbos and yorubas are good friends in lagos is a lier.you'l knw that when a little offence which will attract little insult if its yoruba will bring death to you if u're igbo and ofcourse,for many time,the igbos have retaliated and such has caused some problems.The yoruba leaders even hate igbos and are using power to push igbos towards developing their villages and this they do by closing an already igbo-developed area in whatever name and giving out another land out.i can still recall the time when Yoruba man tried to claim a land at Ladipo and the fracas led to death of the man and the Ladipo was totally closed by Tinubu.is that how to treat such issue? To some extent,i see lagos's igbo problem with yorubas as Igbos defiance to be under the son-of-the soil.i remember one incident that brought a major argument then at computer village when a Yoruba guys angrily said that,'this igbo people are very rude and will never want to be ruled' and others echoed,'its true'.so,sometimes,i do think that Yoruba behaviour at lagos may actualy be a way to assert authority but which has often been met with stiff rebuff from igbos and for many times,has cause minor fracas...and For issue of bravely and cowardice,i dnt want to say that its an issue of tribe.i think its personal to the person that bears that trait but if we shall count bravely of some groups by their acts,i will be left to wonder if actually the tolerance exhibited by Yorubas towards other tribes within their territory, even when they are being pushed to the wall,is an act of bravely or cowardice.ofcourse,if any other tribe try that at onitsha or Aba or PH or towards the northerners,hell will be let loose.another thing is the issue of Yoruba military commanders during the war,the fact is,Nigeria-biafra war was fought and won by britain not any nigerian bravely but then,Yoruba commanders dealt decisively against civillians bt not much against rebellious soldiers.I will be left to wonder if the fleeing of Brig.Babafemi Ogundipe out of nigeria to Niger republic,even when the igbo troops resisted mutinous incursion to lagos,was an act of bravely.ofcourse,it was cowardice and it was that action that actually culminated to war.One thing thats clear is that,an igbo man can still trust Yoruba more than any other tribes and as such,the Yoruba-Igbo feud is not nonsensical.
