manny4life: You make it sound like as if it's only Igbos that are killed in the North, however, I've not heard of markets being closed in the North unless if there's a crisis. For me whether they protest or not, Lagos is gradually becoming business unfriendly.

why, because it does not want to tolerate a dirty environment ?

When Peter Obi closed the Onitsha market where hausas and yorubas use the most, did it generate this much sentiment ? What reason did he give ? Is it not the same thing Fashola is doing ?

Why would you keep trying to advance the east and expect the West to remain the same ? Same thing happened when Okada was banned

If closure of market can generate such ethnic sentiment from Igbo people then truely we cannot coexist together

Not that anyone was hurt or died, no OPC, no thug no tax, Just closure of market and see them shouting how yorubas hate them . All you tribalist can go to hell

To be truthful, I DISLIKE FASHOLA for letting it get to this stage. You son't see Igbos protest in Kano Sabon giri like this but yet they love the hausawas even when they are killed in thousands for silly reasons so why should we settle for less.

ACN HAS DESTROYED LAGOS. STU.PID Asiwaju Company of Nigeria and lapdog

manny4life: 10 million people of Igbo origin? Does that include the whole South Eastern State? If it does, then this part is biggest JOKE of the century.

Are igbos no longer 40% - 60% of Lagos state ? A state of 18 million. According to Ohaneze

@ OP

How can any right thinking person turn closure of a Market into Igbos vs Fashola.

These people are either sarcastic or just plain jokers. Ok let's analysis what Sunny Bobo and co are saying

1. Ladipo market was closed due to tribalism and the dirtiness of yorubas. Ok agree

2. Then Ladipo market is 99% Igbos

I am really confused here

That said now here is another one

1. 100 Billion daily turn over by the brillant Igbo traders. Ok agree

2. Then Complain about tax being too much which is just 150 million yearly out of 100 billion daily

Another one

1. Fashola cannot be president, he cannot win but Shagari and Abiola won elections without Igbo votes. Fact !

Lastly

Fashola and yorubas hate Igbos but the highest population of 10 million people of igbo origin reside in Lagos alone with the highest representation of a non-indigene in a state.


What all these factors, would any right thinking man like these tribalistic Igbo people. Well the answer is no.

To whom much is given to, much is expected. If we show love and try to make you see reason for EVERY ACTION taken and you cannot comply then GO BACK TO YOUR VILLAGE, SIMPLE AND SHORT.

No one taught you how to go back to your village from Borno and Yobe and certainly we would not show you how to do so here. Bunch of unreason people.

deshclones: You r d most unstable human being I have ever come across...speaking from all sides of the mouth...take a stand man...its either you are a tribalist or not..stop playing on our sensibilities...

Am not, I have made it clear since day one.

[quote author=ODUA_NEGRO]this is about your brothers shytting in canal and messing up the environment in ladipo. no one is talking about ibadan[/quote]I don't think these people have been to Ladipo

ACM10: Is this how Fashola plans to get the Igbo votes in his presidential campaign?

So he should allow the whole state to be dirty and in anarchy before he can get Igbo votes ? Is that the way you all reason ? Do you not know that sarifices have to be made to make a community better ?

[quote author=ODUA_NEGRO]hey Alhj step aside abeg. which kin talk be dat? its time for igbo in west to watch its back[/quote]LOOOOOL, there are times I would join you and there are times you have to see reason with them as well. There is no point scattering everything here my brother. Lets explain to them, Ndigbo have a big heart and would understand if we explain to them.

ACM10: If Yorubas cares so much about environmental degredation, then why is Ibadan so filthy? This is a sheer hypocrisy! Fashola is simply a tribalist. He had demonstrated such in the past by deporting Nigerians. Sadly, many Yorubas did not deem it necessary to condemn his action.

Have you been to Ibadan lately ? Because I am there currently. Know what you post before posting rubbish

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]Was it reported that those boys were brandishing weapons and protesting? So because Lagos state government labelled them Bakassi boys, they are now Bakassi boys. What have they done to those Fulani cattle rearers who move around openly with daggers, bows and arrows and actually put them to use. Let them touch those ones na and see if Lagos won't be a child's play compared to Plateau state.

Just in case you don't know, in every market operated by the Igbos, there is always a security task force as well as other task forces. This set of people help in providing security in the market both in and out of business hours since Nigeria Police is useless in that regards. It's just like the street security teams which we have in almost every street in Lagos now.[/quote]

joeyfire: This guy sef. Who tried to cause civil unrest. God dey look you o

Look my brothers, I would not go down this tribal issue. Yorubas and Lagosians have NOTHING AGAINST IGBOS. What we type here on Nairaland stays on nairaland. Yorubas love igbos and have nothing against Ndigbos. Trying to bring an ethnic militant to fight your battle when we can discuss on a round table is just nonsensical and I am sure you would agree with me.

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]When those markets were closed? Where the traders paraded and treated like common criminals?

People should wake up and smell the coffee.[/quote]Were they OPC or Arewa shouting and carrying dangerous weapon all in the name of a closed market. So because of a closed market, you want Bakassi boys to cause civil unrest ?

Yes true wake up and smell the coffee because Lagosians Yorubas would not allow petty tribal sentiment to happen because of a closed market. Again at the end of the day, everyone loses not only your so call igbos (they are mine as well) but also yorubas. So it is better we all ask for solutions rather than thinking of how to create civil unrest because of a closed market.

LOL I am sorry if anyone feels they are being discriminated against but this topic is just plain stu.pid.

Now OP and other myopic igbos on this site and all over answer these questions or forever remain silent

1. Why did Yorubas not complain when Fashola closed down Ketu market for weeks or are those Igbos as well ?

2. When mile 12 market which is basically Hausa market was closed, did Hauses whine the way you all are shouting ?

3. What would Fashola or any Lagosian (Yoruba/non yorubas) gain for the closure of Nigeria biggest automobile market ? Do you realise that Fashola and Lagos are losing money daily ?

4. Do you know the amount of cars that the Mechanics which are mostly yoruba, would be unable to repair, thus no money for them as well ?


I just DISLIKE the way likes of the OP try to tarnish a man's imagine due to tribalism. Just because you are ethnocentric does not mean Lagosian are like that and certainly not fashola.

Any right thinking Igbo man would ask questions for the closure rather than shouting tribalism as a form of blackman because that would not work and even if it works, it is your lost because daily Lagosians are been ethnically sensitized by you all shouting tribalism. TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU THIS.

Omo tire thanks for educating these goons. Keep it up bro

Afam4eva: Why did she have to pick that surname?

I wonder why as well.

LOL

Lagos indigenes are MAJORITY MUSLIMS. That is the fact

Intolerance to other human being is one of humanity greatest mistake. Mrs Ukpaka SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS THE WEST and in the west Christian, Muslims, Traditionalist etc are tolerant of each other.

oyb: Biatch must have thought she was home in the east where hatred of Islam is a badge of honor to be worn proudly.

Sack her already

Who knows what other rabid islamophobia she is using her position to promote

thank you.

I enjoyed every bit of this thread since 2 days ago. You all are amazing

I never believe this Eze Ndigbo thing was taken very seriously by some Nwoke Igbo. That said, I think likes of Onlytruth and co should ponder on some of the words on this thread.

Dayokanu made a very important statement which every umu igbo should look at. He said "Should Odumchi comments on issues such as yoruba people are bathing with Oily soup rather than How to make meaningful progress in Alaigbo" I guess it all has to do with priorities.

From Odumchi post, he showed that he had bigger vision for Ndigbo, even greater than Mazi Onlytruth but as usual due to impatience and "gra gra" he was chased away.

I guessed this was what Ifyalways saw, I mean seeing grown men claiming to represent an ethnic group acting so childish and it actually made her angry or maybe she just wanted to have fun.

Now @ Odumchi, I nominate myself as the new Eze Ndigbo of Nairaland with Ogugua being my EzeNwanyi and Negro Ntns being my prime minister. I would also want likes of Ifyalways, Manny4life, Isale gan, Afam4eva, Berem and Onlytruth (spokesman) to be part of my team. The reason for this nomination is because in as much as others see me as bad, I actually started getting angry and felt a bit of pain on how online Igbos are acting. I believe I know what Ndigbo Nairaland want and I also know what the minorities want and can join them up properly if given the chance.

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO]^^^Can you tell me why anyone else besides Yorubas should be 'excited' about this project?[/quote]can you imagine such comment ?

Now this is funny

The best post so far and I want any intelligent person to understand this point here

dayokanu: Below is Odumchis post on the politics section


https://www.nairaland.com/1202377/kidnappers-executed-dumped-ezu-river/1#14415638

Tell me isnt that dignifying enough or what else should an Eze say that he isn't but some low lives here believe until he is in the gutter with the likes of Mekus, Willywilly he isnt being Eze enough

Which one do you want your Eze to comment on? "Extra judicial killings in Iboland" or "Yorubas bath with Ewedu and Oil Soup"

It goes to show the IQ of the posters. Those criticizing Odumchi for not involving in gutterfights if you observe are borderline moronicc

i just love dayokanu, he says it as it is

kaeto: I believe most of you are still expection you junior waec results so you can move on to the senior secondary, fashola for president? When GMB made it clear just yesterday, he is running. The votes will split again between north and s/west. Mugus...

I laugh when I read tribalist like you talk. That is why you would keep migrating to western Nigeria. Later you would shout "it is our investment".

Whether you vote for Fashola or not, it is you choice. You are not doing anyone a favour.

After all Awolowo was not the president due to tribalism but his effect even till date is felt acrcoss the west. Much so that likes of Ojukwu regretted. Again you are not doing anyone a favour.

I remember how onlytruth and others shouting and call this a white elephant project years back. Now these so called lagosian aka westerners have once again proven them wrong. Awolowo God bless your memories would be happy to see swerners grow in civilization.

danjohn: Fayemi na paper weight. We need to stop settling for "noncontroversial mediocre candidates." That has been the history of Nigeria from Shagari, to Obj, to Yaradua, to Goodluck. Think about it for one second. Nigeria always elects "noncontroversial mediocre candidates" for President. Fayemi may be better than his PDP predecessors but he is not on Fashola's level. Fashola's record as governor is more impressive than Fayemi's and I will not vote for Fayemi simply because he is a Christian. In fact, I would prefer to be at home on facebook and nairaland than vote for Fayemi if Fashola is alive. Despite the perceived drawbacks of a Muslim-Muslim ticket, I would encourage the leaders of the new opposition party to conduct scientific polling to determine if it is a real problem or just an excuse by some politicians to deny Fashola the chance of being on the ticket.

good

good name but Nigeria is NOT a republic

A republic is a form of government in which the country is considered a "public matter", not the private concern or property of the rulers, and where offices of state are subsequently directly or indirectly elected or appointed rather than inherited.

Now nigeria this is not like this
