Rexxie: "OWO DA!"

abi o

hotwax: Do we need them? Or they come from their villages to make money? Indians, Chinese, Kenyans, Hausas are in Lagos just like Dubai. We are economy hub. You come to make money in Lagos. Welcome to the state of excellence

you got that right. 85% of Dubai population is foreign workers. Dubai is as rich as heck.

omo-Yoruba:
We lead in Indigenous enterprises (small and medium scale companies) and that is what drives the existence of most Lagosians, only few of which are employed by bluechips.

All bluechips repatriate their returns, leaving nothing for Lagos

why don't you close shop for a month and see if you won't be replaced with the twinkle of an eye.
just hope u don't become poor and destitute because fashola will be waiting with his truck to send u back to ur village in anambra. u are only welcome if u are contributing positively. you are nothing but a replaceable cheap labor busy body for the growth and development of SW economy

omo-Yoruba:
Where are you leading, in your own land, except for motor park thuggery, armed robbery, gbomogbomo (kidnapping) and OPC savagery?

are you trying to be ironic or what?
kidnappers and armed robbers of all people.... only one tribe comes to mind and that is igbo tribe.

if you are not a rich igbo investor, u are not welcome in lagos. pack ur load or fashola will send u a bus to dump u in onitsha
at least the poor yorubas are free to be in yorubaland. yorubaland does not have space for poor foreigners like the igbo.
poor igbo destitutes are not welcome in lagos.
only the rich ones are. build a mall in lagos and we will allow you to stay . simple as that. lagos loves investors. we love you.

Amen o, I wish they will let us go... At least my brothers and sisters will find their way back home and build their home.

Fashola is making it easy. he is sending you home....for free. free transportation back home. what else could u ask for?
MASSOB and the true biafrans aren't complaining. infact they are happy and support igbo return to igboland.

it is the igbo governors that are complaining (ex. Obi is threatening to sue Fashola) and other igbos who claim to support Biafra but really deep down inside know that south east life is worse than Zimbabwe and you will never wish for Biafra to exist! despite your noise and fake allegiance to the east.

Adamskuty: lllooool! A landlock area known for drugs,looool! What we will be hearing in the news,will be "400 biafrans deported from china. 100 biafran drug dealers caught in england. Ghanaians lock down 40 biafrans shop SA killed 15 biafran pigs and so

if u think the SS will follow u,then u'll should have a re-think,who will wanna associate with a terrible and bad ethnic group like urs No one,i swear, no one

LOL

fiscalcliff: What do Igbos want again in and with Nigeria
I thought they are angling and holding out for Biafra
This peoples seem confused seeing they cannot clearly articulate what they want

attention is what they want. They cannot stand to be 'ignored'
the will do anything for attention.
one minute they want nigeria. next minute they want biafra. minute after that they want both... LOL

kettykin: Biafra came as a result of the pogrom , deal with the pogrom going on in the North and there will be no Biafra.

Just this Monday more than 50 people were killed in the bomb blast and that is not your head ache , but Biafra which ordinary should not be an issue is troubling you , by 2014 Britain will experience a dealmagamtion as Scotland leave , but The brits are not loosing sleep over that .

biafra talk is just that. TALK.
no igbo is serious about it. if they are, all the igbo state officials will be MASSOB members.
but what we see is a igbo government actually clamping down on MASSOB elements to the extent that 50 bodies are washing up rivers. is that a pogrom? igbo pogrom u mean?

no nigerian will lose sleep over biafra. seriously. it is the igbo governors who will be d ones losing sleep and the ones responsible for keeping MASSOB under-wraps so far.

we are under a democracy in 2013. this isn't 1960s with millitary goverors like the time of Ojukwu and co.
igbos people are free to vote for their governors. let them vote in a biafra sympathizer if they really want it.

kettykin: Deporting non Lagosians and igbos and still be in the same country with them does not solve your problem it only solves a problem and creates another because you will still meet them in Abuja and other friendlier cities , but pushing for a break up or confederation solves your issues with no consequences

break-up isn't necessarily a big deal for yorubas. if igbos want it, good for them, they should push for it. they haven't so clearly they don't want to break up either. only making mouth and looking for attention as usual.

you are the one shouting aburi accord up and down. isn't it the regional power that is the main purpose? if states can have that same power then what's the difference? we can have the benefit of being under one country (mostly global/international benefit) yet the autonomy of being independent states.

what do u mean by "meet them in Abuja"? how does that concern lagos if igbos are in abuja? LOL and who says that abuja wouldn't put up restrictions if it feels that too many igbos are populating its state?

maxwello.yg:
Yorubas hate Igbos because we are prosperous in doing business. And we are not poor. They are jealous of us. They are angry Lagos is another state Igbo people have conquered. Smh. Continue being depressed!

we don't hate you if you are prosperous.
fashola isn't deporting prosperous igbos.
he is deporting the beggars, destitutes and poor among you.

you have no reason to worry if you are a rich igbo investor.we love you.stay in lagos and keep investing

omo-Yoruba:
For every 100% Yoruba company you listed in Lagos I will list 500 100% Igbo owned.

STOP LISTING HP AND BLACK BERRY SONY ETC AS KEY COMPANIES IN LAGOS. THOSE ARE SMALL ENTITIES EMPLOYING LESS THAN 50 STAFF.

List them.I dare you.

spare part shops don't count.

omo-Yoruba:
Land in SE is more expensive than in SW (excluding parts of Lagos). You can rant as you may but the fact stands.

useless barren land for that matter. SE is the Zimbabwe of Nigeria. I'm not even sure whether it is currency forgery or just economic incompetence. but whatever it is, u are lucky that we share the same currency. money that is worthless in your region automatically enable u to buy land in west and north.

I think we should create a different currency system. Otherwise, the igbo problem will spread to the rest of Nigeria.

omo-Yoruba:
Land is more expensive in the east than in SW.

due to massive inflation. if biafra became independent, it will be worse than zimbabwe. all the igbos will leave for nigeria and worse, cameroon. infact, nigeria will have a worse immigration problem than it currently does

everyone knows d reason igbos r buying land like no tomorrow is because they have never seen cheap land before. hahaha they do not know that they are actually buying it at a higher price than locals will pay for them. at the end of the day, when the igbos have to "flee" they will leave the same land behind at a financial loss to themselves.

joke is on u.

omo-Yoruba:
Even ''small;; Kanu Nwankwo and Okocha get investments in Lagos

Please show me any investments by their contemporaries such as Peter Rufai and Yekini

u need to go and sit down in a corner. why r u trying so hard to proove urself?
all ur investment will not buy you citizenship of yorubaland. so shove it. at the end of the day, ur still a visitor. stranger and god forbid u become destitute, fashola will send u packing. throw u in a bus back to onitsha.

only igbo investors are welcome in lagos

ilugunboy: Obviously.....you are a too dense to see beyond your flat nose.

and his flat head alike

kettykin: What is stopping these yoruba people from dusting Aburi Accord or a similar Accord and fighting for its implementation.
What chances do these yoruba people have of stopping igbos without due recourse to Aburi or constitutional review[/b]

Fashola will fight for state power to deport non-lagosians i'm sure. That's something that could be implemented to stem the flood of immigrants. I will be happy for such a clause to be written in the constitution.
Let igbos states also feel free to deport its non-indegenes if it wishes.

http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/news-metro/128410-fasholas-aide-defends-deportation-of-67-to-anambra

Why is it just taking yorubas 47 years to realize that they need no igbos in their Region.

yorubas have never once begged any igbo to come to our region. igbos come on their own accord. heck they will come even if we start throwing bombs at them. look at the north. despite boko haram, igbos are still flocking there
all people are welcome in yorubaland. just that they need to know their place

kettykin: Even igbos would support this ,

clearly not. else they won't be complaining about fashola "deporting" them.
or complaining about being deported from South Africa and other foreign Africa countries

cjrane: One day Nigeria will finally breakup so that Yoruba people will finally leave Igbo people alone and stop creating problems around the world and dragging the name Igbo in it.

you clearly don't want to be left alone. Your attention seeking antics make it known that you love to be the center of attention. we are giving you the attention. now revel in it. 50font isn't big enough. use 100font next time. cheap attention seeker!

when you are ignored for a minute, you start throwing tantrums. why is that?
https://www.nairaland.com/1373338/state-govt-ignores-igbos-does


also, why "one day"? why not now? Why aren't igbo people voting MASSOB members to office in state government level?

ilugunboy: The whole truth is I will rather prefer these Ghanians back in place of the Ibos in Lagos.....there was a time in the 70's and early 80's when these Ghanians were here....many of them. Lovely ...hardworking and respectful people that don't go around beating the hairy chest of how they are the one running the economy ...unlike what we have now with Igbos.

well now of course. if they were replacing igbos then sure definitely!! I'll welcome that.

oyb: The whole african, sorry world economy is at risk because of the vainglorious chest beaters.

I'm sure its ibos who drive the extractive industry in sa, and who own 70 percent of SA real estate

right.
the world revolves around igbos.... so it will naturally come to a stand still and become incapacitated without their presence
not just Nigeria or SA... the entire world!

besides, IMO what fashola wants is more state power. state ability to deport etc lol
Fashola is not a regional governor. he is a state governor.
i'm not saying it is right. but u that's what I feel is going on.

kettykin: [b]The Federal system with states serving as the federating units has it limitations which include that everybody in the federation has the right to live/exist where ever he/she wants see below
However a return to a confederal or regional system of governance which Fashola is running away from can grant him the right to expel or deport people he deems not fit to exist in Lagos

well, the "regional system" that is being put at the table is not really to Fashola's liking. it doesn't have enough power and is a mere dressgown. If the constitution fixes it so that each region has autonomous power then i'm sure Fashola will gladly accept for now, he prefers the state power he has.

Yungwizzzy: when Ghanaians wer in Nigeria were they treated fairly? now their country is better we'd d once facing challenges in other 'minute' countries. #Nigeria must go bags now selling in Kenya an SA

Lagosians aren't complaining. we def don't want the ghanaians back
at least not in droves.

those bags are being sold to Igbo Nigerians. I wonder if a dearth of igbos in kenya and SA will destroy the kenyan and SA economy. lol

omo-Yoruba:
Relocated from their land? Whose land? Yoruba land in Igboland?

well, u have a point. igboland is igboland.
just as yorubaland is yourubaland and hausaland is hausaland.
each region should do whatever it sees fit to its foreigners. truce?

ilugunboy: Bloody dolt....you've just proved me right....how many are those traditional medicine workers? Perhaps some couple of hundred at best.

a couple of hundred is way too high. not more than 30 people in total i'm sure.
Even the article got one thing right:

The Yoruba indigenes who are reluctant to migrate to settle within the country (outside their immediate enclaves) at least not so disposed to doing so as much as their counterpart of Igbo extraction. This is not denying the fact that the Yorubas are equally itinerant but most of their voyages target overseas

omo-Yoruba:
Obi donates land to Hausa, Yoruba communities
http://dailyindependentnig.com/2013/07/obi-donates-land-to-hausa-yoruba-communities/

At least Obi did this. What free land has been given to Igbos in any SW or Northern State?

Abia govt also gave land and buildings to Northern cattle merchants.

so, you need to crawl back to your cave and stop peddling lies.
the yorubas and hausas were relocated from their land and moved to new locations assigned by Obi.
stop posting rubbish and twisting the stories up and down.
I'm sure Fashola should be free to relocate all igbos in lagos based on this news. he should move all igbos in festac to makoko slum.
an eye for an eye

@kittykin, Fashola wants state power. not regional zones. He will only support regional zones IF such zones become autonomous governments rather than a mere way to consolidate states and reduce individual state power. His words are very clear. Geo-political zones do not have any definite or defined responsibility, leadership and administrative structure. It is insignificant as he sees it and meant to confuse us. He is a lawyer by training afterall. he knows his legal stuff.

He, therefore, recommended that the items on the exclusive list be substantially reduced “to reflect the principles of appropriateness and state autonomy. The state legislature should have or share jurisdiction such subjects as police, criminal records, prisons, establishment of air and seaports, electric power generation and distribution and the taxation of incomes, profits and capital gains.”

He also opposed the inclusion of geo-political zones in the constitution, explaining that recognition of a body in a constitution “presupposes that it will have a definite purpose or responsibility and its composition, leadership and administrative structure will have to be defined.

“Since the geo-political zones are not intended to be regional governments, their inclusion in the constitution may cause needless confusion as to their status or significance. Section 14(3)is comprehensive enough to reflect the federal character of the country and the need to promote national unity,” he said.

manny4life: Like I said, we're not pressed for Biafra yet, not until we've gained and benefitted from "ONE NIGERIA"

hahahahahahhahahahaha whenever u become ready and serious, let us know.
until then keep dancing azonto and waving israeli flags. it keeps me entertained.

https://www.igbofocus.com/Declaration_of_Biafra_Republic/MASSOB--The-Nation-.jpg

so igbos feel its ok to persecute yorubas and hausas in their region. yet they complain if the same is being metted to them in other Nigerian states. hahahaaha joke of the century.

omo-Yoruba:
Why should Enugu sponsor hajj when they do not believe in Islam? Do muslim states sponsor Igbo pilgrims to Jerusalem? Why are they asking for what they cannot offer others?

it's not a yoruba pilgrim it's a muslim pilgrim. just as there are christian pilgrimages that igbos are a part of. YES sponsored in lagos state!
if you feel that you shouldn't sponsor the pilgrimage because you don't believe in islam then how dare you question northerners persecution of christians since they also do not believe in Christianity?

Plus you claim land was promised them. Thank God you called it promise. How many land have SW govs promised Igbos?

In a statement issued after a well attended joint meeting of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the traditional council of Ndi-Eze and the title holders, held at the Ndigbo National secretariat in Lagos, they resolved that the era of disunity is over.

igbos have secretariats in lagos. so why are igbos reluctant to let the yorubas in their state build a secretariat?

manny4life: Please save your rhetoric abeg... How about the whole Nigeria lead the cause and not Igbos only? After all as much as we want our own country, hypothetically, everyone is tired of us, so it shouldn't be about us, but ALL. If you're tired of us, DO SOMETHING. Make no mistake, Igbos want their own country, but def not all cost...One Nigeria is not working but we can still benefit while it last.

You dey craze. you are very clearly high on drugs. I personally as a yoruba person if I am tired of you and want you to leave Nigeria, I will ask the govt to round you up and throw you into cameroon if it were up to me. duh
why should "nigeria" lead the cause for biafra. does that even make any sense to you?
another igbo who doesn't know what he wants.

better go and find a way to vote a MASSOB sympathizer into power in SE government. that is pretty much the only way Biafra can be realized. If you will recall, even Ojukwu was governor of eastern states in his time. back then we were under millitary rule. today, i'm sure a referendum will be used. Sudan is an example. keep in mind the South Sudanese did the work for themselves. they clearly wanted independence badly.

omo-Yoruba:
They were asking for free land in Enugu. Go and read the thread. The question was why must you ask for free land? They should buy land like Igbos buy in Lagos. They went to press crying marginalization.

I read the thread. they weren't asking for "free land" they were asking for a community space. It was promised but never fulfilled.
they were also asking for what happened to federal allocation for Hajj. We know that there aren't many igbo muslims so what did Chime do with the Hajj money if he didn't give it to the yoruba/hausa community in his state?
Also, the article was written by an igbo person and very visibly biased.

Too bad there aren't many yorubas living in the east for there to be publicity about the marginaization going on by the self-righteous igbo brethren.

Adeyelu recalled that since governor Chime came on board, he had written about five letters seeking for audience with him, to let his government know the problems of the Yoruba community but unfortunately none of the letters was replied.

He also expressed disappointment that Chime does not care and had not asked leaders of non-indigenes in his state the problems their various groups are facing in the state,

besides tpiah brought up a good point. the said yoruba community in igboland claims to be marginalized. so igbos marginalize their non-igbo populations as well... nothing new there.
