Yoruba`s are fools

coogar:
the more reason why this story is believeable. . . . .

the others died as a result of the secrets they know(they were possibly killed by the same people). . . . .mustafa has been in jail for 11 yrs, they cannot reach him to slaughter, the others could be reached to kill.

i have always suspected bola ige's especially post-abiola's death. . . . . .he went from power minister to attorney general. dining with the beasts of that government then. but then, abiola didn't cover himself in glory if you take a long look at all the coup d'etats he has sponsored in nigeria. it's a case of give and take but backstabbing abiola whilst deceiving the entire population that june 12 mandate should prevail is a felony against the state.

if this is true, then bola ige killed with the sword and died by the gun.

gbammmmm

Sun of god:
I suspect IBB's name will come into the mix soon.

Somehow I dont think he was just sitting back relaxing when all this treachery was going on.

nah i don't think IBB has anything to do with this

it is the so called yoruba leaders that said the Abiola election was democracy also are the ones that destroyed democracy

THIS IS A DISGRACE TO THE YORUBA NATION AND INDEED NIGERIA

truth be told I HAVE A FEELING THAT AWOLOWO WAS KILLED BY THIS PEOPLE AS WELL

HE WAS BETRAYED JUST LIKE ABIOLA

I am Ekiti but I was born in Lagos; yet I have no political aspirations in Lagos. If I want to jump into the pigsty we call politics in Nigeria, I will go back to my roots in Ekiti state to contest. Yet I am Yoruba. So exactly what is the point of this "Igbo Lagos Governor" campaign? If an Igbo governor can be better for Lagos, we would have seen the signs in the East already. I don't see it, but maybe someone smoking crack sees it.

i am awori as well and i see nothing wrong in YOU or ANOTHER OTHER YORUBA ruling lagos so long as u are yoruba

we are ONE NATION and as such I can not discrimanate against another odudua

Ekiti kete. eko oni baje o

kumamoto:
If only Igbo were taught in British schools alongside other foreign languages such as French, Spanish, and German. Recognition should also be given to Yoruba, Hausa, Efik, Tiv, Nupe, Kanuri, and all other Nigerian languages.

don't mind this people, other languages are used by them

djustice:
The only reason the Igbos are feeling like they can start beating their chests is because of their unhindered commercial success in Lagos, despite their proclivity for ALWAYS selling substandard goods at the inflated price for genuine ones.

I HAVE OFFICIALLY STARTED A BOYCOTT OF IBO SHOPS AS FROM TODAY, and I urge all right thinking Lagos indigenes and Yorubas to stop buying Ibo. We kuku know the way to China and everywhere else where everything is manufactured, and we have enough of our own people in those businesses as importers and traders.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE DOMINATED BY IBOS, STOP BUYING IBO. STOP PATRONIZING THEM, AND THEY WILL SOON REALISE THE FOLLY OF THEIR AMBITION.

This is a campaign to impoverish Igbos in Lagos and the South West because if this stated intent to rule over us. E don start be that o!

LOL

boycot what i think this started from tinubu

seanet02:

How can you collectively fight bad leadership, when your partner is willing to sell u to those both are fighting against.
Yorubas destroyed Nigeria with their Corrupt Lifestyle.
Yorubas need Genetical Modification, Their act of betrayals are more than that of Judas Iscariot.

I ask u something, will u like to go to war with someone who is ready to shot u from the back. That is Yoruba for u. EGUNJE People I Salute Una.

okunoba:
Biafran war history needs to be thought from a early age at our schools so we can learn from the mistakes of the past. The killings of Igbo people after the Nzeogwu coup had more to do with the humiliation your average Northerner felt after the killing of their prominent leaders by Igbo Army, after which Igbos in the North went out on the streets celebrating and mocking their death. We the younger generation seems to have learnt nothing from these events of History. Today we still have the same people quick to belittle and humiliate those that have welcomed them in their home land and given  them a sense of belonging. People that leave you to do your business without anger or jealousy you are quick to belittle and tell them you are more hard working, smarter, richer, that you own all the businesses in their land and that your intention is to dominate and belittle them after all the love and affection they have shown you over the years. The same pattern is developing of creating hate and resentment when there should be non. Why is there the need to feel superior to your host and even if you are superior do you have to poke our eyes with it.

The Hausa Fulani that have ruled and dominated Nigerian politics have never come on this site telling us how much smarter and better they are to the rest of the population because of their political and military dominance in fact they play it down. If the Igbo`s were in their shoes from all the chest beating we get from some of them on Nairaland, they probably would  be telling us to our face they are the superior race hence the reason they have ruled for so long and will continue to do so. Humility is golden but some of our brothers seem to lack this basic principle.  

Many of us Nigerians, Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa and the rest of us live in countries where everyday we are fighting to be respected and treated as equals because of our color, we fight not to be seen as inferior to other groups that feel superior to us, yet we are more than happy when it comes to our fellow black brothers to play the superiority game and to belittle other ethnic groups. Why do we keep on doing things to others that we don`t like done to us?

At the end of the day there is nothing wrong with an Igbo person ruling Lagos as long as he can do a good job and loves the state as he would love his home, but if the idea is to rule so we can be told how much smarter and that you are better than every other ethnic group in Nigeria then no one will want an Igbo as Governor of Lagos or even as  President of Nigeria.
If you believe in the superiority of your ethnic group over others then you should believe in the superiority of every other race over the black race. After all we are at the bottom of development in the World today. Next time the Arab or White man calls my Igbo brothers monkey he should just accept his faith as a second class citizen since he believes in the superiority of one ethnic group over the other based on material wealth.

I do not subscribe to that believe, no ethnic group is superior we are all struggling to raise our head above water.

sad but true

the same can be said of the mid west and the "kedu" word used, and that was the reason for the mid west massacre

Before[b] we knew it, Biafran troops were in Benin City and en-route to Lagos. The Republic of Benin was created and it subsequently became the shortest Republic that ever was. Before we knew it, all our Igbo friends and neighbors started saying “Kedu” to us. When you turn around to look at him in surprise, he would say, “Ah, unah, you never begin learn? Na wa. I’m sorry oh.” The big question was: Learn what? Do you mean Igbo is becoming the lingua-franca in “Benin Republic?” Biafran troops were in control and from all practical purposes, the people were being intimidated, etc. Basically, Benin Republic was functionally a colony of Biafra. [/b]

Consequently, “Operation Igbo must go” was lunched. All efforts to liberate Bendel from Biafra was lunched. They were speedily losing the confidence, trust, and cooperation from the people. Major Ogbemugia, by now, was already in Lagos, planning under the command of General Murtala Mohammed, Commander of Second Infantry Division, on how to liberate Bendel State from Biafra.
It is important to note that most Igbos in Biafra were kept in the dark by Ojukwu and his cohorts on the status of Biafra across the Niger bridge for fear of revolt. He did it very successfully. All the University of Nsuka students in military uniform and the military equipment that crossed the Niger bridge never made it back to the East.

Uncommon bravery Man seizes kidnappers’ riffle, shoots one in the back

Call him super civilian and you may not be wrong for it is only an extraordinary man that could prove wrong the popular saying by the late pillar of sports, Chief M.K.O Abiola that only a mad man would fight with bare hands a man brandishing a gun.

Hon. Frank Igboka, former chief whip of the Anambra State House of Assembly on June 2, was faced with a life-threatening situation when he was abducted by gunmen believed to be kidnappers. But with a warrior’s heart and in a Rambo style, he without anything confronted his abductors and in the process, over-powered them and seized one of their AK47 riffles.

The politician who said he was once a wrestler, however, attributed his bravery and escape to divine intervention, noting at a point in the encounter, he said his last prayers and prepared his mind to die.
Igboka told his story to Daily Sun and also advised the police on some security issues.

My encounter with kidnappers
First and foremost, I have to give thanks and glory to God Almighty for saving my life from the hands of the kidnappers. It was a terrible experience, terrible situation indeed. Before the incident, I have been having feelings about such incident happening, but because I couldn’t fish out exactly what sign I’m experiencing until the day of the incident on June 2nd. I went to mass in the morning. It was the feast of ascension. I came out and went to my house, finished all my daily activities and wanted to drive down to the state capital.

All of a sudden, I saw people coming from my back with an Infinity Jeep and blocked me immediately and started shouting with AK47 riffles that the occupant of the vehicle should come down. I stopped and came down from the car and they started demanding for my phones and all that. Before then, the phone fell down and we started searching for the phone and when they were about to go and pick the phone where the phone fell down, I picked up race, trying to run for my dear life and they pursued me, fired several shots at me, but I was lucky and was not touched by any bullet.

They followed me behind and I could not find where to hide or where to protect myself. They came to that place and re-arrested me, took me to their vehicle and abandoned my own vehicle there and vamoosed. Heading towards Aniocha local government, they were communicating to the other group because they were two groups with two vehicles. The other group parked somewhere. Getting to that point, they were communicating, giving them directions of where to go to. The guy wrongly took another direction instead of the proper direction they were giving him.

My miraculous escape
Heading towards that Aniocha LG, they spotted a police check point accidentally, they immediately made a U-turn and fired in the air and the police also fired at them and they started running helter-skelter to escape, thinking that the policemen were also pursuing them and I was asking them to stop, that the policemen will fire on us and all that. They said I should keep quiet and forced my head down. It was at that point that I picked up a lot of courage and pounced on the person with the AK47 and we started struggling. I pointed the mouth of the gun at the driver’s side so that even if at all the man wants to shoot, he will get the driver.

Because of that, the driver smelt danger and parked the vehicle. The man jumped down with the AK47, I came down immediately, pounced on him and we started to struggle. I took the position of the gun where the trigger is, I fired on the trigger; there was no bullet inside. Immediately, I cocked it, he was holding the mouth of the gun, he immediately released his hand from the gun and then I fired at him at the back, he shouted and jumped back into the vehicle, the driver moved the vehicle immediately and they escaped. The other group turned back again and started firing at me. I was also using that gun to exchange fire with them before they escaped and ran away finally.

Threats from the kidnappers
I give glory to God Almighty; I thank Him for giving me that courage to face them. I recovered that AK47 with three magazines fully loaded with bullets. Since then, I have been receiving anonymous calls that were saying that I should go and drop that gun. Wherever the gun is that I should go and drop it where they will pick it. That if not, whatever that happens to me, I will regret my life.

So, I’m seizing this opportunity to alert the police to be very vigilante because their next line of action is to recover the gun either from the police at the check point. Everybody has to be at alert and also my life is in danger. I know that whoever that God is with, no weapon fashioned against him shall succeed. That is where my faith is and I believe that even if they come 20 times, God must always protect me.

I don’t wish anybody such a thing. I’ve made so much complaints to the police, I’ve mentioned so many things. Where I’m suspecting, the police have been carrying on their investigations. The way I look at it, it looks like the investigation is very, very slow because this gun recovered has a number and needs to be investigated where the gun is coming from so that we can make headway.

My training
I was totally a barrack boy. I was brought up by a military man and I went to military school too. I have an experience about all these things. I won’t say I don’t have knowledge about these things; I have knowledge of it very, very well. So, that is why I was able to do it. Aside, I am a judoka and wrestler; an Olympic champion and I have been practicing. I have to apply all the techniques I know about self defense. That was what saved me. I am an Olympic wrestler, a current champion in the Olympic in Judo and Wrestling. I have won about 30 gold medals.

seanet02:
YOU seriously need to get your heads examined.
The real Yoruba leaders are the one who spearheaded the June 12 struggle and not any King.
You said they COLLECTED money as if you were there. Use your brain dude.

so are you saying yoruba leaders can not fall for bribe are they that good just because they are "yoruba leaders"

even real so called yoruba leaders fall for bribe. ok

eGuerrilla:
Look WilWily, since it needs to out to broken down to you: without traitors, the transatlantic slave trade might never have happened on the scale it did (that is, if at all).
The history of man is full of treachery, so what new gospel are you peddling?
If you have ever spent any amount of time studying the evolution of pro-democracy organisations (movements) around the world, you'd know your wholesale condemnation is completely uncalled for.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to post comments which confirm all doubts.

please brother, don't waste your time

trust me you are wasting your time. some people just hate and hate

just enjoy your day and enjoy reading the comment and laff off it

really I am not surprise at this at all.  at the yoruba leaders. mustapha expose them with there hypocricy

hollandis:
Yorubas are cursed,instead of telling the murderer to shut up AND yelling the court that justice must be done,they are daring him to point fingers at any yoruba person implicated covertly or overtly.

why add tribalism to this . see hate not surprise at this as well, but let me case you mind back. the person that sold weapons to Nigeria army to kill igbos during baifra was Nzeribe who was also an igbo man. He seat down while his people we killed in the millions and he was paid. So in your attempt to paint an ethnic group as cursed i think Your ethnic group is more cursed. abi ogini gi

Freewilly:
You and who 

you can't afford an Igbo girl so stick with Yoruba pls.

BTW when did you become Igbo, I'm yoruba

but i thought you said you are yoruba so i want to stick with yoruba girls and You are one

why call igbo girls again freewilly my one wifey

henry101:
Mallam, why do you sleep and wake up thinking about Igbo.
The time you spend thinking about Igbo is the time you could have spent doing other good things to make your life better.
Are you normal or is Igbo the new disease in your life?
Thunder fire your left yansh. lol.

maybe because i am igbo

and when did lagos=igbo

Freewilly:
You think maybe we Yoruba's are just jealous of Igbos

OAM4J:
^Now you have an idea of what I get from Missy when I only ask for a kiss. . .

good

I hope there can be free education for the whole nation

this is critical as it would solve a lot of problem from riots to mend etc

Andre Uweh:
@The poster--It's high time you stop starting threads of this sort that results in ethnic bashings. Boy stop this nonsense.
@The mods, threads of this sort always results in ethnic bashings. Why not destroy it upon arrival, or do you enjoy all this Yoruba bashing of Ndigbo all the time?.
