[quote author=dem_people link=topic=718197.msg8764947#msg8764947 date=1311300775]Alj, your Nigeria has died long ago in the minds of Nigerians. Most Nigerians don't believe in Nigeria. Personally, I don't but used to. After evaluating things critically, my conclusion was final. Foreigners even know this, that's why someone like Andrew Young said that Nigerians hate Nigeria.

I see no remedy to the bad structure of the country. SNC is the least that can help otherwise, to everyone's tent o Israel.[/quote]I support SNC so long as we do not need visa to go to lagos or enugu, yes that is fine

let each region control his thing but no spliting
]
that way people would respect different region policy and different groups would have faith in their government and not Nigeria government since tribalism comes to mind

but nigeria should be kept 1, that i support

and you know the reason them people

there is nothing Allah can not do. everything is faith and prayers

lagcity:
in lagos wetin? be clear

Not much kaunris in lagos but have a good population around 800,000, rough estimate.

i have a cousin as part of the custom officers, tell me what u want him to do.

maybe we should tax them 200,000N per container. still thing

tinubu has done it before as well

ezeagu:
There are just some articles that do not deserve attention. Obviously this is one of the articles lesser active journalists create to seem like they're working. End of discussion.

does not deserve attention since it is not igbos being marginalised. anyhow

bashr4:
when did southeasterners cry marginalisation in other states? i know about cases they complained of their markets or properties destroyed by govts which shows they never depended on the govt in the first place, pls i dont know what your intentions are but the hausas and the yorubas i see in enugu go about their buisness without harrasment just as you said in the south east you dont even know who is igbo,efik ,ibibio,ijaw or yoruba.

http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2010/11/05/we%E2%80%99ve-been-marginalised-in-lagos/

excatly, u can nt easly identify a yoruba or ibibio man in the SE does not mean they are not there

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=718314.msg8764699#msg8764699 date=1311294988]Has Ogun, Ekiti, Osun, Ondo, Oyo done what you are talking of for the Igbo?[/quote]they don't have to do it, they have done it in one state and it is upto A SE governor to talk the right thing and do the right thing. Nothing last forever

abagoro:
It is increasingly likely.Events are not helping matters.I'm a Zikist like Jonathan,Obj and Buhari but Nigerians hate Zikism .Tribal and religious sentiments will break us.

do you know what you are talking about. Zikism is politics and religion

I am a nigeria and support nigeria but i rather support awoism where citizens would have free education, etc

we should still fight for nigeria my brother

bashr4:
alj what exactly are they complaining about ? political appointment(we have idomas that are enugu natives too)? land(land is not free anywhere)? pilgrimage(enugu govt should have no buisness with that afterall its a christian state)? jobs(federal presence is low in enugu so residents depend on state and private sector and enugu dont really have a big economy)?
i know you had tribalist intentions when posting this thread but i dont see what the complaint is about.


as long as no body is harrasing anybody in enugu na all man to himself.

a beg leave tribal intention and lets face the matter squally

all man for himself but ohaneze can beg for post in other states

that is not right, if nigerians are trying to integrate people in their states, i believe the SE can do the same to show their intent

each time the SE taalk of marginaisation in kano and lagos, nigerians have a sense of pity for their brothers(becos we are brothers) and try to appoint them as much as they can even against the intentions of the locals

why can the same be done in the SE

idoma does not mean u are integrating, same as lagos used iragiji to goven them and itsekiri as well

we are talking about hausa or yoruba here

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=718314.msg8764659#msg8764659 date=1311294096]Peter obi isnt even the governor of Enugu. Shows how much u know,lol [/quote]not the governor sorry that is anambra

This is not only about Yorubas, but other minority groups.
Why is it that Yorubaland easily accommodation non-Yorubas, but Igbolands can't achieve the same goal?
I read an article a while ago of the same ish happening in Anambra. Ridiculous.[/quote]yorubas and northerner are not minorities in anambra, enugu and rivers state

in anambra and enugu alone u would not suspect the amount of yorubas you see

yorubas easly blend to enivroment just like in the north and would look like one of us. there are alot of people that u would think they are igbo but they are yorubas, same with northerner

rivers state is almost becoming a yoruba state, port harcourt

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=718314.msg8764644#msg8764644 date=1311293852]The article is funny. What is the complaint about exactly? The author was being very ambiguous. I suspect tribal motive behind it.[/quote]ethnic motive on peter obi's part

Blackteeth:
Yorubas shouldnt be relevant in enugu because they are just 0.5% of enugu population.

who told you that please, do u think when alex101 was telling u about the amount of yorubas in the east, u think say na joke

remember madonna univerity say about 30% yorubas in the university

ezeagu:
What is "Igbos", I thought Enugu was a state?

it is a state that is majority igbo, why can't peter obi Mr tribalist put other groups in the state appointment like it is done in the north and west

that is not the right way to go about it. We need to be integrated and not acting smart think obi can eat his cake and have it

abagoro:
Anioma State will soon be created and the 3i's with the big U will continue their power play.

you would miss the beloved Naija

why? are we divided

ezeagu:
Did the writer stop his article half way, this story seems "abortive". Is this issue about land again?

it is about integration and not land, if yorubas in lagos and hausas in kano can do it why can't igbos allow them too to rule

Leaders of Yoruba and Hausa Communities in Enugu State, Chief Ade Johnson-Adeyelu and Alhaji Haruna Sule, have cried out over what they described as endless marginalisation of the people of the two communities by the state government.


In separate interviews on Monday, the two leaders regretted that all attempts made to appeal to the state government to give the people of the affected communities a sense of belonging proved abortive.


They said, “The Yoruba and Hausa communities have been good to both the people and government of Enugu State. They have been doing everything expected of non-indigenes in Enugu State. We don’t think they have done anything wrong to warrant the kind of endless marginalisation they have been subjected to in the state for a long time now.”


The leader of the Yoruba Community, Adeyelu, said, “The Enugu State government has done well in making Enugu peaceful for both indigenes and non-indigenes in the state. But then, I will advise the government to look into the plight of non-indigenes in the state, like every other state government in the country. The Lagos State government appointed an Igbo man commissioner in the state. That gives an average Igbo man a sense of belonging.”

this dude, you make me laugh the way you play all sides. i swear you'll be a great politician. i'm not into too much talk. don't you think it is better to just create the state by yourselves (ibo and northerners) rather than talk about it on NL. you guys don't need yoruba permission to form festac state. it is no big deal.

thank you, first we need to get our ak's ready incase of OPC madness and i hope my igbo brothers would not betray me and my people.

Dede1:
Sometimes bros, you disappoint me big time. Even the people you termed stolid brain seem to be better tender of historical events than those who are condescendingly disingenuous with issues about eastern region of Nigeria and Biafra.

Granted there were stinking minorities who jumped ship while Biafrans fought Nigeria, there were staunch minorities who fought the war braver than majorities. Ojukwu did not consult with everybody in my province about the war but he consulted with the representatives including those from Degema, Ogoja, Opobo, Yenegoa, Calabar, Eket, Annang and Uyo. It is on record that during those consultative meetings a son of Ijo proposed the name-Biafra for eastern region.  I know a young Major from Sagbama who commanded 53rd Brigade of Biafran army who had the intent to recapture Port Harcourt in 1969 after overrunning Igrinta.

There was no former regional leader who wanted creation of region out of the existing three. Awolowo did everything in the books including ominous threats to certain royalties who supported the creation of Mid-western region. It is rather silly to read about irresponsible rant from loser such as Ken Saro Wiwa praising Awo on creation of states.

The first Nigerian republic was a democratic affair and people of eastern region did not sue to oppose such political ideals. Hence the first Mayor of Enugu was Hausa. Even the first leader of government in eastern region was a minority from Ibibio. In 1954 when some people in certain part of the country were swearing and dancing to certain tune of music about opposing non-son of the soil being leader in a section of the country, Zik appointed a Yoruba as the Press Secretary of eastern regional government. Ijo produced adequate representatives to the government of eastern region as evidenced in every election of the time. According to you, I did not think Melford Okilo would have been elected if Ndigbo were the final arbiter of the electoral process. 

War was fought, lost and won. Aftermath of the war shall always produce saboteurs and decenters who stand to curry favor from the victors. But remember that change, ironically, remains constant.

arrant nonsense, such a lair. u keep lying under big grammar. stu.pid man/boy

The first region to be divided in Nigeria was the western region thanks to ZIK

afterwards there was a poll which the itsekiri and bini voted against the creation (showing love for the west) but urhobo, ijaw, esan etc voted for and thus the mid-west was created.

even till today the mid west, edwin clark , bini (edo) meet with the western and afernifere leaders to talk of the development of the west

same can not be said of the east. baleysa , akwa ibom, cross river would NEVER do such because of the evil act of ur leaders(no names so it would not go tribal)

i stand to be corrected

lagcity:
kai! ibo ppl. funny ppl. they all have a little bit of mr ibu and osuofia in them. clowns .

why should you deny us the state. the population supports the creartion of the state

igbo boy:

Imaging clearing goods at Lagos port and having to haul it all the way to the east, with all that police and custom checkpoints?

also an airport would be apporiate

Odunharry:
igbo wit wahala

what wahala. when a population of a city is above 2 million of a certain inhabant, then i think the igbos have every right to demand for their state. this festac state would include iba, alaba,ajegunle, festac, and other neccessary areas

failure to do so would cause mayhem in lagos because others like me and ijaw would fight to our last blood. fact

military would be with us. Now the best thing for yorubas is to negiotiate the territoral bondaries. fast

our first governor would be ben the commissioner of works

when are we going to have this section then

macjive01:
^^ see your big head, leave politics for the yorubas.

so baboon go dey work, the build house, establish industries, come still dey pay tax, monkey go siddon for house, dey do agbero, dey chop dey clean mouth all in the name of na we "been" get land ?
