This is wrong!

Competition should step up and everything will normalize.

Nigerians and their sense of entitlement, we are not running a socialist economy.

If you do not like DSTV or feel it is expensive, drop their service. Simple as ABC.

I bet if Iphones were manufactured here, Nigerians will call on government to make them cheaper.

shut up

Please give us one instance where the so called host community was disrespected
In what way?
You expect Igbos to prostrate before you daily?
They will not
You are not doing anything that Igbos in Enugu haven't some for Yorubas and Hausas in Enugu where I lived
We don't expect praise for it
It's expected that one treats their guests with courtesy
We extend that to all Hausas and Yorubas in our communities without expecting them to bow at our feet
We expect you to do same

lagos is no mans land

we control the economy of lagos

without us lagos is nothing

we must produce the deputy governor.

yorubas are dirty

yorubas are cowards

we own lagos

Do say all dis against americans in even d america that u say u are and expect to be taken serious and accommodated peacefully. there is virtue in humility and that lack of humility is d bane of igbos existence with oda tribes in Naija. Nobody say u shud lick their arzz but do not go all superior and disrespect the customs and traditions of d land.

Ojiofor:
I don't think Igbo Lagosians are disrespectful to their host and don't mind online insults from both sides for example,Ndi Eze Ndigbo in Lagos who went to pay homage to the Oba was hailing him while he was threatening to kill them and their people and they never challenged him out of respect.

I hope so. we all need each oda.

Alfamann:
Go to the major markets in those places and tell me who is in charge?
However, those guys at least are not too lazy but are trying to compete.

stop deceiving ursef. i live in kano. singer market is populated by hausa. kwari market, same. i dare say igbos are not up to fifty percent in sabon gari market so stop deceiving yrsef and eat a humble pie. u are in no competition with anyone. do ur thing and be level headed.

Ojiofor:
For courtesy sake some people should stop calling lagos a no man's land nor matter what.then again,peace is bettet than war but if anyone expects Ndigbo not to pursue their political,cultural and economic rights in lagos as guaranteed by Nigerian constitution,such people are wasting their time and Ndigbo have no apology for that and can never be intimidated by same people who fought so hard to keep us in same country with them.Ndigbo should be left alone to continue pursuing their dreams in one United Nigeria as proclaimed by yorubas and awusas in 1970.

No one is stopping them from pursuing their economic ends meet. Im yoruba but totally against what d oba said but the igbos should learn to respect their host community

well said op. After watching the video, i realise d oba goofed big time. But igbos in lagos need to humble themselves and not take d hospitality of lagosians for granted.

If about 10 of these boys had struggled and collected the gun of one of those terrorists, they would have saved lives. Cowards die many times before their death.
I saw in broad day light at okene, kogi state where 2 boys, 1 with stick and 1 with stones were pursuing an armed robbery with pistol. The robber was running and turned back to shoot at them, while they were stoning him. I came down from the car I was in and joined in the chase. And we got the guy and disarmed and gave him the beatings of his life before police came and we dispersed.

was the armed robber holding a toy gun

Is it just me?

she looks waaaaaaaaaaaay more beautiful without make up than with all the painting in d name of make up.

nuelzy:
seriously? kDaniel..that footwear??...#

u sabi look sha. How manage u see d footwear?

And people want me to see Jonathan as a hero cos he conceded defeat in an election he clearly lost despite spending billions of naira in bribe.

Jonathan did the right, sensible and
honourable thing. Don't let's lower standard
and blow it out of proportion. He clearly lost
the election and he conceded defeat
shikena. Though honourable and thoughtful,
it doesn't make him a hero like we are all
shouting. If he had choose to fight dirty in
an election he clearly lost, and cause chaos
and lost of lives, there will be consequence
for him. U mentioned Charles Taylor, Samuel
Doe, Gbabo etc. Where are they today? Their
fate (jail term) would have been the lot of
gej if he didn't taken the honourable path.
No leader can loss election and try to
turncate it and go Scot free. stop making it
look like he did us a favour. He had no
option.

temitemi1:
GEJ my HERO! FAYOSE my role MODEL!!

is this ur latest spam dial? its no longer gej till 2019?

fool.

shame catch me for him family.

interesting

Umunede:
What most people especially the Yorubas don't understand is that no matter what happens, an hausa man can never, I repeat can never support a Southerner against his fellow hausa man. If for instance, a Fashola is contesting against an unknown hausa man, they will vote massively for that unknown hausa man. They don't care about performance. I did my Uni in the north and I am talking from experience because I did campus politics. Time will tell

Liar! Mko won Bashir Tofa in kano state, his home town and d entire northern states. They are not as sentimental, myopic and backward thinking like the yiboz.

chukwudi44:
Lol bros abeg don't make me laugh, so you are expecting another Obasanjo-Falae bout in 2023? It would always be a northerner against a southerner and we southerners would never be united again. The SE/SS would be waiting to extract their own pound of flesh

Why are u so vengeful and bitter like this? Already planing revenge in 8years time? And I'm sure u will spend all those eight years whinning and wishing that evil befall the Yoruba and Hausa tribes. Go to the polls and vote out of hate and sentiment again and u will lost again. When will u learn ?

lol

I de go by airtime first tin tomorrow

Elzends:
This is Nigeria, a lot of politicians wouldn't have done what Goodluck did, despite the conditions.
You seem not to understand the meaning of the term '' power of incumbency ''

Dont get me wrong, i commend him for accepting defeat. But making it look like it is something heroic is not cool, power of incumbency or not. The world is watching, no incumbent can clearly lost an election and refuse to hand over. Remember Gbagbo of Ivory cost? where is he today?

President Jonathan did the most sensible and honourable thing to do. Failure to do that will plunge this country into chaos and he too will most likely spend the rest of his life in prison. Samuel Doe and Charles Taylor comes to mind.

C u..mumu..
U no get common sense...what happened in ivory coast when Allasan..Qatara defeated d incumbent?...sometimes is beta to keep shut wen u lack wat to say...Olodo...learn from odas history...ode

Na real oponu ayirada and oloriburuku u be. Must u insult me before u make ur point? Are u blind to my opening sentence where I commended the president for doing the right thing? Was Fayemi not an incumbent when he lost? Didn't he accept it gracefully? Will Jonathan be the first?

But celebrating it as if he is a hero, comparing him to Mandela and worshipping him all over social media is lowering standard cos the presidency is not his birthright. I'm more than ready to insult u and ur generations today if u quote me throwing insult at me again.

Etumgbe:
Why is osinbajo sitting like a secondary school student

jealousy na him go kill u bigoted satanist. whether u like it or not he is ur VP for d next four years. And he is YORUBA cos I know that is what is giving u headache.

In as much as I commend and respect the
President for accepting defeat because we
all know power is sweet and intoxicating, I
still have some reservations about the
encomiums and hero worshiping of
President Jonathan all over the social media
for doing what is morally, intellectually,
legally an constitutionally right. Let's not
lower standard. He is d incumbent, has
control of all forces, conducted election,
international observers declared the election
fair, he clearly lost, and he accepted defeat,
what is heroic here? Are we expecting him
to rrfuse d election result or what? Even if
he will do that, there is a proper channel so
whats the fuss about accepting defeat by the
president? Lets not blow it out of proportion
jooor. He did a honourable thing, that's it.

asha80:
embittered about his performance in the senate?why not?or do you like rewarding failure?do you even lnow about his performance in the senate other than he is in apc?what about apc legislators that lost there seats to other parties in Lagos?if the apc legislators were doing well would they have been voted out?

So I suppose its d same performance that made u all flock and lick gej aszz.

asha80:
what was ngige's performance in senate?vip toilets as he admitted?why vote someone who is dormant in senate?

So misfiring and looking very embittered and bigoted is better

A sensible Igbo friend posted this on Facebook about Ngige and I think it answers the op aptly


One of the closest Igbo man to the President
Elect is Dr Chris Ngige Onwa, a Senator who
was defeated in the Senatorial Election.
See how bad Igbos are at strategizing? They
couldn't override a pathological hatred for
General Buhari to make a hedge bet and
return this man to the Senate, to enhance his
chances at Senate President, incase General
Buhari wins, which he did.
Instead folks played tribal and religious
politics to the tilt as drunken sailors, and
failed the man and the chance to make
history as Senate President.
That's what happens when emotions trips
common sense and folks succumb to
hustlers like Peter Obi and Arthur Eze,
scoundrels after their own interests instead
of the masses.
I urged caution, I pleaded that we were
making a huge mistake to hitch our wagon
on Jonathan who wasn't going to win. And
predictably he lost, so also our chance in
the new administration.
I hate to gloat.
But maybe, maybe, only maybe he gets a
good ministerial appointment, but nothing
beats being Senate President.
Igbos are very bad at politics.
And sadly it won't stop until we learn to
coexist with others instead of our 'better
than thou' attitude when dealing with the
Hausas and Yorubas. We are not better than
anyone, these folks we thumb our noses at,
are God's creatures like us.
We don't like the Hausas and we don't like
the Yorubas, yet we populate their States in
search for our livelihood. Our politics should
mirror our economic aspirations, not the
other way around.
How long can this collective amnesia
insulate us from meaningfully seating at the
table, making contributions to Nigeria's
political evolution?
How long can this foolishness go on?
How long?
There is a miserable silence across the land
today, because we are realizing that we were
sold off for pennies by pimps who parade as
Igbo leaders. Where are they? Anyone
home?

front page!



I fell for it.

Chiddysville:
I don't think the SE misfired; they stood for what they believed in and that's what true heroes are known for. More so, the president elect should do a soul searching why he is never accepted in the two geopolitical regions since 2003

here what a fellow Igbo like u have to say
