I don't think APGA is fielding an Igbo candidate. Somehow I suspect you know that but chose to ignore it.

The more agitated you guys get about APGA in Lagos, the more you raise Igbo suspicion about ACN in Eastern Nigeria.

If APGA picks a qualified Lagosian (who would likely be Yoruba at this stage) what is your problem with that?

and what as APGA done in there respective states

LOL. Do not worry eh? Kanuris are still welcomed to the Southern part of nigeria especially the SW.

Who the hell cares about Ibadan and Ogun state? Lagos is an international city. I have never lived in that city, but it is nice place for vacation I must say.

And I feel comfortable in Enugu or Owerri.

I[b]gbos like to migrate, because of business opportunities. You will find Igbos everywhere in Africa. So you have to get over Igbos being in Lagos and other cities. [/b]

Why should Igbos stay in their homeland, when they can make money in other regions of the world? The money we make from people in Lagos can be sent home. I support this.

The Lebanese do this all the time. They do not keep the money in nations. They send it back to Lebanon to build up their cities. Igbos will soon be doing that as well, so get over it.

We are Pan-African!  

and why can't they be governors in those places why lagos

Let me try and decode some of what you typed.

Akwai Hausawa nan, alal misali auwal87 haka_nai, ni da kain[/b]a [b]= Something about "I speak Hausa though not very well (or you meant "very well"" 
na kanuri mutum = I'm Kanuri or na Kanuri I be, followed by laughter.[/quote]you are almost there good try

@first bolded, i was saying that hausas are on this forum ge auwal87 and haka_nai

but good one you did well

My friend shadap dia!

Do you think any southern group is like you? Look at history and tell me!

Abeg take your prophesy of doom elsewhere.

jason123:
The guy always tries to divide us! wetin? .

mumu who is trying to divide you

i am telling you guys the reality

Akhenaten:
Lagos could be another Jerusalem. lol Split the city. Just joking.  

I do not expect Lagos to be split if Nigeria is split. However, I do not think Igbos should leave Lagos if Nigeria does split. Some Igbos feel more comfortable in Lagos than the East, because that city is the only place they know.

I would hope that accommodations be made for these people to stay and thrive.

and since you know that, why try to get them uncomfortable just because of an igbo governor

to my igbo brother, to avoud troble and for peace to regnie, lets just leave with out neigbours in piece, lets not try anything that will get us hated again in the west

sofily sofily sofily they do am ooooo

Last time I checked, it was not an Igbo man who was Premier of the East at the same period. It was an Ibibio man. Igbos had no problem with this.

People need to stop viewing this as "ruling" of other and focus on "working" on behalf of others. Zik was trying to work on behalf of the people in the South-West. And look how they repay him, but sending him back to the East.

That is when tribalism entered Nigerian politics. That episode.

And you know what people, even in the North, they had other ethnicities in power. Balewa was not a Hausa if you didn't know.

also, talking about edo people owning lagos,

why can't edo people contest in lagos then they do not even make this much noise that you people are making

my friend, there is no tribalism there

it all about peace that's all

look at jos what does that tell you, biko

Akhenaten:
alj harem, no one can claim ownership of Lagos. Lagos is an international city. Many Igbos were born and bred in Lagos. Are they not Lagosians? Some of them have never been to the East.

Why can't an Igbo man run for governor of Lagos? Igbos are in large numbers in Lagos. They are a large constituent and I see no problem with Igbos running for office in Lagos.

People need to look at people stances on the issues instead of their ethnicity.

i agree with you, but are they no igbos in kaduna, they have never been to the east,; i even know one

can he contest in kaduna?? maybe but i doutb it

also, lagos does not have a high number of igbos

i was reading an article about how the eze indigbo of lagos said "igbo are 40-45 percent in lagos"

my question is what is the percentage of ijaw people, northerners, outside yoruba people, indigenous people, other minorities

it means that if an igbo guy runs for the seat; he can easlly win without the help of the yorubas

but that is not the case, the last igbo guy that ran for the seat won only about 50 votes or there about, so what is going on
(the population of igbos are more than that) but what happened

also there is no ethnicity there, this is the same issue in jos today

Obiagu1:
Reading through the posts on this thread, I have to finally confirm that most of you are uneducated, period. Education without understanding, reasoning equals nill (zero)!

So by saying 26 parties align with APGA means that an Igbo will be their flagbearer?
Is their no non-Igbo in APGA?

When Chris Ngige ran under ACN in Anambra, did any Igbo cry foul? He actually finished 2nd. This shows the difference between the Igbos and the Yorubas. We are miles apart, no comparison!

Internet forums are becoming breeding ground for deranged people to purge their heart and then on an unknown date, actually carry out their threat like Jared Lee Loughner of Arizona so I'm waiting for the day fstranger will snap, though I know he's a coward.

you call them illitrates, i call them clever people

obiagu1, please answer this questions in honesty

1.) why should an igbo governor, chairman, or even debuty gorvernor should be in lagos (and please do not tell me about there population in lagos)

2.) if there are fit igbos to rule lagosian, why can't they go to the east and make lifes better for them back there or rule them; why lagos

3.) what happens to the indigenes of lagos, would they be happy that an igbo man is ruling them look at delta state today

4.) look at jos today, do you not think it can happen in lagos even worse because of OPC

5.) why do you think even tinubu a yoruba man like them is having a hard time in lagos just because he is not a born lagosian by heritage

6.) as step1 rightly said, do we igbos not love peace, why should we get involve in lagos state politices when we know the outcome will not be good

7.) do you think the igbos in lagos will vote for an igbo man in lagos(i am not talking about "mama i dey go lagos" i am talking about proper full born igbo lagosian,, knowing full well that nigeria is not a country like that

nigeria is a country were whole villagers are kill without a word said

so my question is why should us igbos get involve in SW politics

[b]Onuku Nsugbe,[/b]do they write separate SSCE/WAEC/NECO exams?
1 Nigerian indigenous language is compulsory from Sokoto to Onitsha.
They give scholarships to the best "hausa-language" student in your village?good for u!

haba, we dey fight

jason123:
Stop commenting on SOUTHERN ISSUES! You are not a southerner!

southern issues

is it not NIGERIAN ISSUE i will comment on whatever i choose to comment on as i am part igbo

to my igbo brothers that think this is a good news,,smh

it is not,,, it is a very terrible move by apga

lagos will be jos when igbos start coming out for power just like the hausas in jos

think my igbo brothers and eze nidigbo better watch out because this is a very bad move by igbos

do not think just because the yorubas are detribalized that they are fools

look at kwara, an emir has been ruling it for over a century until lawal was the governor and intall an oba there,, what does that tell you

killing in lagos will be terrible because lagos is covered with atlest 3 yoruba states in all direction apart from the south

well good luck to yorubas and igbos

Allah bless Nigeria

excanny:
Good move by APGA. A[b]ny governor aspirant smart enough to choose an Igbo as running mate has won the election by half.[/b]

only if dreams were really

OMO IBO:
APGA in Lagos??
South West??

Hmmmm

mumu, must you say that so as to spite the yorubas or South-westerners,,, they are becoming detribalised

fstranger1:
You have got to be kidding me.

An Hausa man over Ibo any day any time.


Ibo people in Lagos? God forbid.

I will personally go down to Alausa and blow it up, if an Igbo man wins any governorship election in Lagos.

terrorist

i really hope they arrest this man,, he the most corrupt governor in nigeria's history from amagamation to date

Abagworo:
The standardized Igbo is not dying but the various distinct dialects are dying.Most Igbos can neither speak nor understand their own dialects and some are even unaware of the existence of their dialects.What I see is a future where Igbo will just be one language while some Igbos that dissociated themselves on time will be the only ones retaining their dialects.

then it is better the dialects die so the unity of igbos can be kept

hmmmm,,, the game begins,, well as for PDP jonathan is likely to win

ifyalways:
Are u saying its otherwise?
I know as at 6 years ago,1 Nigerian local language is compulsory for every school and for those of us that were born in the east,it became automatically Igbo.One of my cousins born and breed in Jos did write Igbo as against Hausa up there in the north.

i know 1 language is compulsory in local schools, but private schools niko

also, what about scholarship programs for the best igbo students just like it is done in the north for some students ,,, that why the survival of igbo language is ensured

Beaf:
If found guilty, they must be sentenced to death, shot publicly and their bodies buried in graves people will be encouraged to spit on.
It doesn't matter whether they are Christian, Muslim, Berom, Hausa or Fulani.

gbamm

beaf contiune with this attitude of your,, it is for the better

Beaf:
I do not believe Ciroma represents the North, he only makes claims which many sadly key into.
However, you used to be quite an Atiku supporter, what happened to you?

haba bros, i never supported atiku,, i support ribadu and buhari

but from the looks of things it is buhari

excanny:
Well said, Ada anyi. Igbo movies would make good teaching aids. They should just keep them clean for educational purposes.

i agree with the movie

but why can't igbo language be a compulsory subject in schools in the east. also, parents should be encouarged to speak igbo to there children

scholarship program for children with good igbo skills should be in place by privte investors

little changes like this will make a big difference

Beaf:
That was lifted straight out of the book of the C[b]iroma's make believe World of "North," "North," "North.[/b]" It is a weak and useless argument.
To put it in better detail for you; all ex-Bayero college politicians, ex-Bayero soldiers and those with connections to the 60's coups and their subsequent govts must be cleared off the political deck.

and who told you ciroma represent us

the atiku he chose can not even win 5 states in the north

were do you get this from brother

nairaland kai kai

[quote author=onye_ngbu link=topic=521670.msg7521215#msg7521215 date=1294908864]It just made sense! Jason is also alj harem.
They write the same gramatically flawed, mostly childish and illogical sentences.
And they both claim to be non yorubas bu[b]t defend yoruba like something else.

I have to give u that beaf, but, how can you say there is no itsekiri muslim?
Im not saying there must be but that is such a loose statement to make. Do u know every itsekiri person? Why naa.[/quote]i defend yorubas ,, i think i defend igbos more than the yoruba counterpart

and who told your there are no itsekiri muslim as jason rightly said

why call us animals because we practise our religion

i am not into arguing who jason is or not,,ok

Beaf:
Yes, you are Jason.
And yes I support GEJ, while you support the THIEVING loser called Atiku. So get on your camel and ride off into the sunset.

when have i said i support atiku

camel , i support buhari
