Igbos are known betrayers so need I say more, any yoruba arguing with these bunch of people is wasting his time. Just laugh at their stu.pidity and move on cuz they are the most selfish and self centred beings on earth.

van bonattel: HA HA HA HA ,
The realities today still show yorubas goofed badly, and are the real losers of this war, when they have their leaders systematically wiped out by same housas you have been serving. Keep losing.

Chai !!!! another bitter person una try wellu wellu

mimifonwon: you are an ode, and i feel sorry for your generation and your mom for uttering such rubbish. Go back and check and make sure u are born of an igbo woman, cuz you dont sound like one. For you were, you will stand on the truth no matter your bias or your paternal identity. If you must know, after the war, the igbos were part of naija again and should have gotten their properties back fair and square, but we know what awolowo did, and then claimed ignorance of the whole confistication later, so lets leave politics alone and face the truth. Awolowo did good for his tribe, but stole and wronged the easterners, as to maintain economic power in the west. It was ethnocentric-ally driven so my dear brother of equal mixture face the truth and swallow it, like utabazi its ever bitter, and unfortunately has no sweet after taste like ewuro( olugbu).

see woman self mo ree e re gbe o( thats Ijebu for you) bitterness

Dahbutter: Cry baby ibos. Your ogas lacked intelligence and war strategies and a more intelligent side whopped their @ss using common sense in a war.
I wonder, if situations were turned around if the ibos would have sent or allowed food reach their own enemies in a war they were desperate to win knowing the concieted, dubious, crafty, dishonest selfish crooks they really are. Now because modern trends have coined out the word "war crimes" 4uking asswipes are screaming injustice!

I wonder if the whimps would have given back properties to their enemies after the war or aid them to prosper in their own land after like d yorobbers did.

The first stoopid fact about the barggers is they don't really know their real enemy and decided to loose their frustration on the ones who were most sympathetic to their plight. Dumb pricks
My mum is ibo, but [size=28pt]I must admit here on NL they come around as a dumb lot with a misplaced focus screaming foul play because they didn't have the advantage in a war[/size] due to their brainless commanders.

Now go back and prepare 4 another war if u want, use your brain this time but remember as the chinese say all is fair in war!

I really thing many people on nairaland dont read before commenting very shocking at the responses you see

mafolayomi: and it can as well be refers to as Oole where am from (Abeokuta)

Yeah that is probably Egba word for Moi=moi. A typical yoruba knows moi moi is moi moi. Moi moi originated from Yorubas

holums: Achebe wil cause anoda problem....:his words is an offence to d yoruba
race and now CPC has find d book offensive saying its a fresh invitation
for war. Did Awo caused d civil war or was he d one dat caused d Jan
15,1966 coup or was he d one dat caused d Igbo massacre in d North
Sept 1966.....He advised Gowon on how to end d war,after d war he
resigned from his post......Achebe failed to point out T.Y Danjuma who
masterminded d massacre of igbos after he killed Ironsi & Fajuyi
So many books had been written concerning dis civil war.....of which
Madiebo's book stated dat shortage of weapons and lack of support
from international community contributed to d collapse of Biafra.
Enough of this tribal insult between Yoruba and Igbo on Nairaland
it won't solve any problem....the North caused most of d problems
we are facing today......d way forward is wot we should thinking of

To be honest I dislike people like you. What has the NORTH bleeping DONE AGAIN ?

Is it the north that forced Igbos into this union without a clause ?

Please know you history, stop blaming the north for everything.

agog: Hmm, great thoughts in retrospect. During the war that claimed more than 2 millions Ibos, the Biafran civilians suffered the highest. Biafrans soldiers seen at the end of the war were never seen not-well fed, but were robust, people including Ojukwu - suggesting that they have been feeding on the food meant for the poor masses. As the federal government put an end to this, it serves a main purpose of putting an abrupt end to the war. the issued of currency changed also defeated Ojukwu. so also Ojukwu inability to gain the full support of the bigger countries like Russia, France and the US. It would have been easier to convince these world power to Biafran side because of the oil there.
In all honesty, Awolowo acted uprightly

Thank you o !!! Abi wetin man go do. Right now any right thinking person would just leave them in their delusion.

Desola: as long as the oil does not affect [size=18pt]our[/size] oil o.

You see igbos are just bitter people. The same people that see yorubas as dirty slaves are the ones asking for help when the north desended on them.

Before the war, they did all in their power to control and subdue these so call yaribas. Then they forgot yorubas were their brothers lol. Sh.it hit fan with their northern brother, then they remembered their dirty low yaribas for help. Even at that, these people still tried to play smart.

These bunch of ingrates still decided to invade, Molestation and do all sort of things to the so called yorubas they hate to love.

Any Nigerian that trust an Igbo man, goodluck to you. I personally don't trust anyone not to talk of an ethnic group. So play among yourselves, when you are ready to talk politics you know when to find the yorubas.

It's because of the war that igbos now respect the Niger-deltas and Yorubas now and we also respect them.

One last thing, it is nnamdi an Igbo man that sold igbos to Nigeria. So with this fact known, I can't be bothered. I just hope they stay out of yorubas way cuz if you decide to join any group to kill us off like nnamdi did before the war, you know the story. Just respect yourselves and stay out of our business and politics. Chikena last words on this thread. One day monkey will go to market and not return. One day your cups would be full. Fact.

I don't expect Yorubas to argue. Just be watching

No matter how you people try to paint AWO, he is still the MOST respected past leader out of the 3.

Yorubas are wasting their time replying Achebe or anyother ignorant person that does not know his history other than Achebe's books.

Onlytruth: Stop preaching to the choir. Tell your people not to provoke a very angry tribe. That's all.

Lol sorry na. Nwannem oti to oya sorry. Just let us live in peace. Is that too much to ask for ?

Exactly, I don't want to live in benin republic yet. I rather everyone respect themselves. Imagine what you would tell your grand children when they don't see Yorubas again in Nigeria ?

It's pretty sad don't you think ? So I rather igbos respect us just as we have respected them

wipe out ke onlytruth ?

Abeg if you people want to start another blood tasty war, just count Yorubas out of it. When I say Yorubas I mean including itsekiris and north west central. If you na like bomb yourselves to pap.

It is not being double mouth or being a coward but just a warning.

afam4eva:

sorry I meant there are no government authorities to rescue flood victims

wirinet: please furnish us with a little bit of information on Fashola's roots. There are too many rumours flying around with no source of accurate info. If his parents grand parents were born in lagos, it means the fashola roots go back up to a hundred years in lagos.
Where is their family house?

my brother you are concerning yourself with irrelevant issues. What has fashola heritage got to do with you ? He is a lagosian and his famkily heritage can be tracked to oba kosoko kor ajose period

No government agenta to recuse

pingo: I live and work in Portharcourt but was recently transferred to Lagos. I have to change my plate numba ba? fafafa...........foul..........#

no you don't have to. Do you have a commercial vehicle for passengers as your personal vehicle ?

Lol read the article again

pssword: I can understand the application of this law for local commercial vehicles operating within the Lagos metropolis, where I imagine a permit is required. But if it is extended to private individuals it is a nonsense and should be challenged in court. It will also create more more avenue for criminals and fraud, imagine a vehicle with multiple plates just because you've spent 3 months in Lagos. If all the states implement this they would be chaos. It would also make kidnapping easier with one car having multiple "legitimate" plates - absolutely crazy ...

my brother read the topic again. Also try to read the discussion before this

wirinet: compulsory registration of cars with lagos plate number would not help the situation, what would help the problem is accurate data bank especially national data bank, trained and effective police with forensic training - maybe state and local community police included and good examples from leaders who the general population copies from.

correct but this is the first step towards the right direction. Agree ?

You see your fears I know and are totally uncalled for. I guess this nairaland gives the wrong impression of lagosian

wirinet: Appriciated. You should know that Nigeria is still a disunited country, with various tribes suspicious and antagonistic of each other. That is why further laws aggravating the situation further needs to be discouraged. That is why issues like sharia law that discriminates agains non indigines is to be condemned.

We are yet to resolve the indigine problem because a Yoruba man born in lagos becomes a lagos indigine, but a hausa or igbo man whose father was born in lagos cannot claim indigene. Even Ifashola is not native to lagos. So most probably the governors parents were not born in lagos

we really need to define who an indigene is. That is why you cannot use the US as an example, there are defined indigene and jnationalization laws.

oh I see your point and it is strong too. One thing you must realise is that Nigeria is a young country. I support your views as well not cuz my father is from ogun but my family name is an original Lagos name. If I as a Yoruba man support your views then you should know that a lot of Yoruba support such views. Now this law is not to discriminate if not I consider myself as being discriminated against too cuz we are in the same shoes.

The reason for my support is due to the increase crime rate in Nigeria. We as lagosians need to be critical and hold our own if the fg is not helping us. The fg has abandon all territories apart from abuja thus we need to protect ourselves regardless of ethnicity.

Was it not last week an unknown police man shot a newly wedded igboman. It was Yorubas including me real life that fought for justice cuz I have the fear of Allah/God. Internet is completely different from real life. We all mix well in Lagos, please lets maintain it

Wirinet sorry I did not answer your question. might or might not have the gps. The good side I see are

1. You know to always enter Lagos state registered bus rather than oyo or enugu. Just to be safe

2. Your bus can be tracked in terms of whether it is a Lagos state bus or one chance

3. This gives the opportunity to actually installs tracking devices and control crime rate eg Lagos state taxis

These are the things I saw. At the end of the day you and I want to be safe regardless of the what Nigeria says.

wirinet: If as a Nigerian Lagosian that is in love with this law, what of the other Nigerian Lagosians that hate the law? They should migrate to other state too? Please explain how registration of a bus with a lagos plate number make the bus safer than if the bus was registered in another state. Does the lagos plate number come with a gps tracker?

now you are talking. You see before you condemn a law passed by those in authority you need to give reasons. I said what I said out of anger. Those that don't like the law should give genuine reasons. We all are in the same shoes but I sea the positive side to it.

Thanks my brother.

etunoman76: My guy, the agberos in LASTMA are more like zombies on a one lane track. Will they be able (patient enuff) to differentiate a Lagos resident from someone that's there temporary?

my brother in all honesty, I don't like lastma and Co cuz they are illiterates in the real sense but all am doing is trying to sensitize ppl to know their rights from their wrongs. So my brother so long as your bus is not carrying passengers then you are fine.

etunoman76: What if I don't use it for commercial purpose and im staying in the state for a long period, say 4 months, for bizness. Does that qualify me as a resident? And if yes, that means I'll have to register with the state govt for a new plate no and documentation

then you don't have to register my brother. Your vehicle is no brt or danfo thus the law is with you whether for business or not

mediainspired: It is bigots, tribalists &xenophobics like ilugunboy &alj harem dat make me insist Obj &GEJ hav bn too soft on Tinubu, Fashola &Aregbesola. I cant imagine a state guv dat keep misbehavin me under me witout remindin d person quickly who's d C-in-C. I wish i meet such myopic &low-minded ppl like in ilugunboy &alj harem in dis Lag so we decide who owns Lagos 4real, afta my state built it wit our petrodolars. Who tells bigots like u u hav more rights in Lagos. I can mess u both up &get u locked up in Lag here. Yes, Lagos! Yes, cos am a Nigerian &can decide where i live in my country &decide how it is run. Mind u, i can also contest untry; stop being h disiilusioned!

my brother you are just hyper ventilating. If you read my post well, I never claim to have more right than you. You are a Nigerian lagosian and so am I. Now what I am saying is if you hate the laws in Lagos or any other state, please by all means leave the state. It is not bigotry but peaceful negotiation. This law is to make your children and relatives saver.

Think of it, you son enters a bus not registered. 10pm necks and your son is still not home. What do you do ? Cuz you cannot blame fashola or the police for your stupidity and carelessness

Now picture this, your son enters a registered bus and we can track where he is even if he is not home.

Which do you prefer ? Please by all means if you hate taxes, tolls, security and laws then go to YOUR STATE OF ORIGIN. Bleep YOUR OIL FUVK YOUR ANGER CUZ YOUR OIL IS WORTHLESS TO ME IF I AM KIDNAPPED OR CANNOT LIVE IN PEACE. CHINA DOES NOT HAVE OIL BUT THEY ARE BETTER THAN NIGERIA. SO WHAT USE IS YOUR OIL IN THE WORLD OR LOCAL SCALE ?

holyeye: @ Post,

If true, then it is most inept. No one should be under compulsion to change or use Lagos State Plate numbers.

The laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria take absolute precedence.

!

Yes it is true

Commercially use vehicle would and should and must have there plate number and registration from the state they intent to be working on. A commercial vehicle from ogun or delta cannot be a danfo in kogi it is dumb on the ministry of transportation part to allow such to occur. At last someone with brains has stepped up, you all are complaining.

The only people angry at such laws are the "mama I dey go lagos". If these idi.ots have brought kidnapping etc to Lagos. Now a thinking governor said commercial use vehicles aka danfo and Co should have Lagos state registration and plate number so when we see abia or borno plate number on danfos and Co we can know that this one Christmas money e dey look for aka kidnapping or worse.

Biko if you don't like the law that protects her citizens, we have 35 more states we all can chose to live in. abi na by force say you MUST live in SW Nigeria ?

GenBuhari: Why comment on Abacha when all you know are propaganda against him.

How many of you Abacha critics have taken time to research Abacha performance on the economy, sporting achievement, debt recuction, anti-corruption policies etc.

do you research before commenting.

My brother, his past, present achievement cannot erase his past which is that he is a cold blooded murder. Am replying you cuz it seems you are more sensible than abagworo.

Your argument on the fact that a legal government committed treason against an illegal government is very baseless and shows the average mentality of a Nigerian. If abacha is a hero then ibb, obj etc are super heroes take it or leave it
