However, the situation took an ethnic coloration as drivers and other hoodlums in the commercial city went on rampage demanding the elimination of Hausa people on the ground that the policeman who shot the deceased was a Hausa man.

Thanks

I love Igbo. It pains me when i see Igbo and yoruba fighting each other over nothing. Honestly i dnt expect yorubas to be watching while Igbos were trying to invade Lagos. As a matter fact, yoruba needed to protect their land which they did. Believe me,Igbos would have done the same if they were in yorubas' shoes. Yorubas' action is justified.  Igbo should stop hating on yoruba and try to embrace their mistakes.

gbamm are you minding this them

I don't know what they expected them to think

After they invaded Mid-west, masscred them and tried to make Igbo the language of the mid-west then they were enroute to the west

Normal people know they were trying to do the same, Only an ideeiot would think otherwise that is what they are doing.

Personally I don't dislike Igbos infact I have been saved once by an Igbo man

Also I have experienced 1st hand tribalism by Igbos in lagos on me. Still I keep my sanity thinking that is just a few out of millions

But NL confirmed it that they are actually on Yoruba case

If yorubas keep tribalism on NL

they would take it to the next level by going on every blog and newspaper and saying rubbish about yoruba

smh

Abagworo:
While it is often wrong to assume a majority in an issue that is yet to be statistically proven, I still feel guilty enough to pour out what I feel about Igbos as an Igbo man.

Is there any part of our original culture which attributes so much importance to property acquisition? I ask this because I have no knowledge of any history of Igbos conquering other people and taking over their land.

I am quite guilty of this land acquisition and I'm now having a rethink. In my office, we have several ethnic groups and amongst all of us only the Igbo ones have acquired more than one property in Port Harcourt and we are neither the highest earning nor the richest. I think if Igbos really want to be at peace with their host communities, they should channel this borrowed land acquisition culture to their various home towns.

Hmmmmm

I just want to correct something

during Arochukwu expansionism they took over part of Ibibio land in present day Abia. Arochukwu is a clan in Igbo.

Also it the problem is not only with Igbos but with all Nigerians

BY VINCENT UJUMADU

AWKA – TWO vehicles belonging to a chieftain of Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, at Agulu in Anaocha local government area of Anambra State were set ablaze in what was believed to be a political vendetta.

There is on-going campaign for rerun of the House of Representatives elections for Anaocha/Njikoka/Dunukofia federal constituency in the state between Mrs. Uche Ekwunife of APGA and Mr. Dozie Nwankwo of ACN.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu had ordered for rerun, following an appeal by Nwankwo of ACN who objected to the decision of the Anambra Election Petition Tribunal.

The two vehicles involved are a Mitsubishi L300 bus belonging to Anaocha local government chairman of ACN, Chief Raphael Egbobe, and a Peugeot pick up van parked in his compound at Ogbu-ifite village, Agulu.

Unknown gunmen had allegedly invaded the ACN chairman’s premises at night and set the vehicles ablaze before running away in their vehicle.

Egbobe, who spoke on the incident, said his children had told him that some strange men in a black Toyota Hilux Jeep invaded his compound and asked for his where about.

The men were said to have claimed that they had bags of rice and envelop to deliver to him.

He said he lost eleven cartons of wine and some personal effects, adding that when they learnt that he and his wife were not yet back, the men intensified their demand for them to open the gates which was rebuffed by his children.

“They left and came back at about 11pm, shooting sporadically into the air, before scaling the fence to set the vehicles ablaze after which they ran away.

“When the family raised an alarm calling for help to salvage the vehicles from the fire, the hoodlums came back shooting in all directions which made the neighbours to run for their lives,” Egbobe said.

Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in the state, Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka, who confirmed the incident yesterday, said an intense man-hunt had already begun to fish out those behind the act.

Following the incident, the PPRO said security had been beefed up in the area, adding that the incident had also necessitated that security be beefed up in the 11 local government areas in Anambra South senatorial zone where rerun election would also take place between Chief Chuma Nzeribe of APGA and Chief Andy Uba of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,

He warned parents to put their children under control and go about their normal daily activities peacefully without fear of any molestation.

The police spokesman also warned that anyone who allowed himself to be used as a political thug would be dealt with accordingly.

ChinenyeN:
Alj_Harem, now you're writing under the assumption that Igbo is possibly looking to form a union with Yoruba (the assumption that Igbo supposedly looks forward to "Republic of Southern Nigeria", a.k.a. Nigeria Jr.).

Is that what you think?

no. I am assuming that they want to form a country with everyother group in Nigeria apart from Hausa/fulani/kanuri and yoruba.

That's my assumption.

Am I correct going by the post of some Nairaland Igbo or your position is different ?

Onlytruth:
Igbo do not have a fear of anybody.
Personally, I simply do not like "born to rule" mentality, by the core North, which it occassionally enforces violently, killing innocent people. Apart from this mentality, I can say boldly that I do not see any other problem with them.   I can stay in Nigeria with them the moment they repudiate, cease and desist from this behaviour.  

They cannot outcompete me in anything. I cannot compete against him in the field of terror and mass murder. It is a repugnant field.

So, alj-Harem, please go back to school.  

Born to rule mentality you say ? but you people had the same mentality before the war so what changed ? After all even our first president was Nnamdi followed by Nzegwu followed by Ironsi.

Did you give others the chance for self determination ? NO and please don't lie to yourself I know what is going on in Nigerian's mentality from every geopolitical zone

You delivered 5 states to GEJ, the SW delivered 5 states as well. then you come out and say those were Igbo votes ? when all of you ran back to the east ? How do you think a Middle belter or a Swener would fell when you said that ? Make them look stu.pid then you come here shouting southerner Nigeria with middle belt.

I just watch you and laugh, sometimes I think it is just good to just be watching and things unfold

ChinenyeN:
The only way the above quote can be rationalized is under the assumption that there exists some kind of collective, Igbo hegemony (the implication of intent). Incidentally, we all know that to not be true. So, long story short, the above quote is baseless and essentially nonsense.

Honestly, the day people learn to stop erroneously treating the Igbo's "adventurous" or "industrious" nature as collective force, is the day that they realize how unfounded their sentiment is, and then stop (in the words of my mother) "tearing their trousers unnecessarily".

Igbo do not have a "fear of Yoruba curbing excesses".

That is what you think. Whether fear or not it does not matter again. The fact remains the bases of the unity of any country should not be based on hate or bigotry but based on Love  and forward "thinkingness"

All I am doing is just trying to rationalize the issue. Yes Igbos and Industrious, Yes Igbos are adventurous

Obiagu1:
http://www.bookerrising.net/2007/10/country-of-week-bamileke-jews-of.html?m=1

1. that is not even a proper website

2. In Nigeria today Yorubas, Hausa and Igbos are the most I repeat the Most hated group

Ok let me explain

The Hausas, fulani and igbos think yorubas are tribalistic and because of their high level of education, they get the best jobs. Now people hate that as you can even see on this forum.

The Yorubas, Hausas and Fulani think the Igbos are arrogant and are willing to grab whatever they can. Not because of business success as you people put it but because they believe the Igbos are greedy. Also crime orientated but they have forgotten to ask that which ethnic group does not comment crime. Shame

The Yoruba and Igbos believe that hausa and fulani people are extremist and believe that they are not as educated as them thus they should not hold any power. Tell me why should the south hold power for long when we have others

You see the cycle of hate ?

You think Igbos are the only ones with the problem . LOL I laugh hard when I see all this lies and forming pity for yourselves to the world

well It is all propaganda at the end of the day. Every ethnic group have faced animosity to the highest order before. That I can tell you.

vladimiros:
the south wants it, it ur north we are waiting for

then you can form ur islamic nation, good luck finding technocrats

Don't worry, Nigeria would divide hopefully by on or before 2015 Insha Allah. I hate hearing hateful comments such as this.

Just be patient

Obiagu1:
As for what the Oba wrote, it's not new to me because I've heard it from every nook and cranny of this country that the Igbos like money but the fact on the ground is that, apart from Igbos, the other ethnic groups looted and drained Nigeria that we are close to bankruptcy.

When you outsmart someone in business, that'll be the result; accusations from every corner. I just read a link about the Bamikele people, seen as the Igbos of Cameroun, they face the same persecution because that are successful entrepreneurs.

chai Obiagu1 !!!! which book is that or link.

also every group have their own burden to carry not only Igbos. Again If i were Igbo (which I am) I would chose to embrace it unless people are going too far.

after reading this thread One would conclude something

southern Nigeria is impossible. Why you might ask

Ok

1. The ethnic groups in the southern Nigeria are different from each other and they know this. Rather than look at the similarity they look at the differences

2. I remember Edwin clarks comments which insisted that Igbos in delta and rivers should not contest for SS as if the Southern Nigeria is no longer one

3. I remember the comments by south east politicians as well

4. When the bases of unity is on ethnic bigotry as the case of the SS/SE then it is bad for Southern Nigeria.

Now reasons why Yorubas would not like southern Nigeria even if it means just their 6 SW states kogi and kwara

1. The jealousy and hate for yorubas by Igbos can make one run insane.

2. The bases of the unity of southern Nigeria is hate for the north thus once the north goes what happens; Yorubas or Ijaws next ? No one has answered the question ask by NLers

3. As Obong Victor the former governor of akwa Ibom said today[i] " If we fail to get true federalism right, Nigeria will not just break up into two or three countries but many many countries"[/i]. Thus he sees the underlying problem which people are blind to. Maybe this is just internet talk or they just chose to ignore the evil day

4. SNC is the way forward even in southern Nigeria. I don't see a southern Nigeria united etc without some blood. I am sorry for being pessimistic.

5. The truth is that Igbos don't want a country with yorubas in it because of the fear of another majority to curb their excesses which is understandable and I believe everyone including the yorubas and Igbos should embrace this.

6. Odudua is not here to advertise anything neither are we begging anyone for anything or land as my Igbo brothers would call it. Again no one should be deceived to think they would be begged to for a country with the SW. It is completely up to you.

7. What happens if oil is found in the north tomorrow, would you all be begging or say it is fair for them to give us ?

8. Beaf and co that have inconcated ethnic supremacy and and bigotry to most people.

At this point in our history where we Might be breaking up. I would leave you with my final words

Make sure the bases of any unity is not hate or bigotry for other groups but love and self determination; that why you can make a successive country.

Here I stand Olodos.

Onlytruth:
I feel a need to explain to my Igbo brothers that I have not read anywhere here on this thread where any Igbo is claiming Edo, or trying to imply that we need Edo for anything. It is almost laughable to even make that conclusion.
Some of you need to understand Nigerian political scenario properly, especially to learn how not to cede alliances and territories where you don't need to.
As far as I know, Edo people remain neutral and some of them would lean Eastwards if push comes to shove. I really don't want to talk more on this.

Oba Erediauwa is a leader and so may even have been quoted out of context, but even if he meant what that quote said, isn't the shame on him? Wouldn't intelligent folks in Edo dissociate from him and that quote? My main point is that I have learned enough of Nigeria's history to never cede my ground even in the North, talk less of Southern Nigeria.
Currently in southern Nigeria, the ONLY group I wouldn't want to associate much with is the Yoruba. It is not a mark of weakness, but a mark of strength!
Shaka Zulu said that "a leopard is a strong animal, but if he is offered wings, he would be a fool to refuse."  
Isolationism will not aid us much in Nigeria. We have to learn how not to lose focus on the bigger picture, basically side stepping minor irritations and distractions.

Here I stand!  

great onlytruth has spoken onyeshi

Hare I stand as well alj harem

with this sort of hate flying around

I believe Nigeria needs to split fast before we kill ourselves finish

Chai!!!

Beaf:
Which word is "Odajuma?" Is it a word? Lol! Counterfeit NDians sha!

Lol! "Shut up" (and its variations) has been alj harams favourite phrase this week. Interesting to see you fall into the same habit, not just that but also, lying as freely as alj haram. Hmmm!

Oya, settle the matter. What is the name of your village?
You are telling me that you could have told me Warri was your village. Funny shiit! Thats like someone saying Lagos is their village and thinking they don't sound ridiculous. Dude, you are not from Delta state, cos you cannot even name a village you come from (aside from Ijaw ones).
What do you gain by telling these lies and fat old porkies, bruv?

Dude, let me help you with a village. Instead of coming from OgbeIjaw, why not claim to be the first Itsekiri man to hail from Okorenkoko in Gbaramatu Kingdom?

Ok !!!

Nri priest I thought you were different and actually respected your voice on NL as part of the Igbos here that make sense ever since you discussed with me on that Abagworo's thread.

Why are you engaging yourself with this na ? this is between Obiagu/Beaf(his numerous IDs) and yorubas on NL.

Please nwannem, relax all we do here is not the reality. Again it is not the reality on ground

vladimiros:
When I see northerners on NL attacking other regions I beging to wonder if this people know how slow they sound,

atleast and old man in my village can speak english, urs english "oga i no fit speak i no go to school" even the arabic you can't

You have made a big mumu of yourself. Just because I chose or any other northerner chose to write bad English does not mean we do not know the correct English or how to put it. It is a big shame that you pride yourself as educated and yet engage in sectional attack.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=862912.msg10138504#msg10138504 date=1328574076]And let the record stand that the above pictures is misleading.

[size=18pt]Those fighting to assert themselves over Edo in this thread are Igbo, not Yoruba.

We have claimed a historical connection, but are not saying that this is necessarily any reason to be joined at the hip.

In fact I've advocated the right to self-determination, autonomy and making your own path.[/size]

Compare this with the remarks of others. . .[/quote]Gbammmmmmmmmmmm well said

chima12:
it is a disappointing attitude typical of the yorubas.they always defend hausa/fulani/boko haram while the hausa/fulani on NL are running away because of shame.it will be interesting to see how they fare in one nation with hausa/fulani without the SS/SE.

LOL what is their to defend. Is it bad to defend the helpless ? I mean verbally ?

Look again take your SS/SE if you do not stand for Justice and equality

GEJ presidency today is by yorubas

so dehumanizing hausa/fulani or anyother group be it even yoruba, edo ijaw, ogoni igbo etc is not part of our nature. We respect human beings and we do not threat them like some sort of animal that you call anyname .

Thanks.

Nzeogwu and crew wanted to tame FEUDALISM in Nigeria.
Guess who practices feudalism?

Also guess what Gideon Orkar wanted to do? Same thing! He even wanted to excise the core North from Nigeria.
Now, continue playing hide and seek.

Nama.

Look

Feudalism is not new to Nigeria and was exercised in any region that had kings even Igboland. The old system is what works for people. Go to Saudi, they are good today because of that system.

Also your post says you want to tame, I wonder why you would want to tame rather than dialogue ?

Biafra (SS/SE), a constant nightmare that torments the SW.

I know that the day Biafra is created, so many Yorubas will commit suicide.

Again good luck, as you can see no yoruba or SWener is cursing because of this
