Make no mistake about it, Yoruba hardly go out of their land for tterritorial ambition, seek territorial dominance or gain.

It is those outside Yorubaland that either seek or trace their roots to Yoruba. This affiliation to Yoruba goes beyond Nigeria or Africa, Diaspora citizens seek Yoruba culture more than that of any African.

There is more honey to Yoruba. It goes beyond the land and the people. Other Nigerians invade to claim what they cannot produce at home.

It is not religion either, that is a scam to capture the spoils of war.

Okay. I thought he is Ika and not Igbo.

Rogues have ethnic support in Nigeria, no matter what they do.

Honestly, I do not know why people take this guy shouting niggarr every minute seriously. It is a cool slang for him.

You think he really knows what is called ni......?

You guys project your inferiority complex on others all the time. Can you factually dispute any of the above?

Rayban25:
All this dosent change the fact that most of you are tribalistic...even if you catch your tribesman doing wrong you will still defend him.

Go ask those older than you what Awolowo did with cocoa income for the West, Nigerians and Africans.

There used to be a time when Yoruba men in the name of culture dictated to Yoruba young ladies who and what ethnic group they could marry.

Actually, they coul only marry Yoruba men. Those days are gone.

Until recent, Igbo men were still dictating to their young ladies. Of course, like Yoruba young ladies, they are rebelling. But Igbo men have not given up like Yoruba men did long ago.

So Igbo men are trying to shame Igbo women that marry Yoruba or Hausa. Then lately trying to shame Yoruba men.

Give it up. Ko le work. It has nothing to do with marrying down or up. Humans have curiosity to try other ladies and men. Those who did for money or status found out the hard way that men are men and women are women.

By the way, you cannot compare it to inter racial marriages where white men and women have a higher status in Western countries.

Who have a higher status in Nigeria depends on location most of you move to and money!

Okay.

Blame Boko Haram nah and her pregnancy go born Boko kid

Bring back our girls!

Cement price nko, no be market forces abi na devil's forces.

AroOkigbo:
Price will be determined by the seller? So who prepared the template for prices across the countey that's currently in use?

Tochi3:
Civil is a Social word.. nothing to do with buildings..

Civilized.. the act of being socially tolerant to everyone despite religion, ethnic differences..

You got that right. Cannot think of any other ethnic in Africa better at tolerance, accommodations and civility than Yoruba.

Otherwise, name any other please.

Why is it always Yoruba the world know?

There are over 250 ethic groups in Nigeria

PEACE WITHIN EACH ETHNIC GROUP BEFORE OTHER GROUPS

It is about time Ndi-Igbo have a heart to heart talk within one another. This violence within (not from outside) is a race to the bottom. When other groups see how each African ethnic group maim and kill members of their own groups, they see an opportunity to divide them further by taking sides. Africans cannot condemn inhumanity of man to man, Police ritual killings and cannibalism seen in Europe, Americas and Asia when worse behavior is dished out to our own blood and kin in the name of solidarity to wage wars against other ethnic groups.

Africans cannot justify Xenophobia against other Africans. You cannot repress all of your own who refused to follow or support crude behavior seen in lower primitive animals. We have seen these inhuman traits too often from South Africa, Nigeria, Somali to Sierra Leone among others. It cannot be justified as a way to punish traitors within. Humans have got to the stage where we define traitors and punish them according to the rule of laws, not by juggle justice.

Unity within each ethnic group for progressive ideas and defense of civilized culture is paramount. If we see unity and peace through tolerance for political views and respect for different religions without rancor, distractors face an uphill battle against us. It becomes easier to form barriers against those trying to disrupt our civilized peaceful existence. Forced compliance, attacks and mutilation within each ethnic group to enforce crude behaviors displayed by lower animals must be discouraged and disowned regardless of status.

The Silent Majority have unwittingly or inadvertently supported crude and uncivilized behavior of their kin because they are not directly affected until they find themselves as targets. It may remind us of the popular saying that they came for different people while we watched until they started coming for us. Bullies do not stop their crude practices on others, they bring those practices home. Violence always rear ugly heads if we do not stop it at the source.

Ndi-Igbo land is witnessing the dark days of Maitatsine and Boko Haram that started by burning Churches. The problem with this type of punishment is that it can only be temporarily repressed. It is easier to reward civilized behaviors widely acceptable in an environment with positive reinforcement. Maitatsine did not stop there, fundamentalists brought it home, killing and kidnapping in their own communities.

There is no reasonable excuse for Nigerians not to move forward after the Election and revitalize the polity to greater heights. While it is true that every ethnic group did not get the Presidential candidate they wanted, no election did. We must move forward to encourage good governance, accountability, to solve insecurity and corruption in high places. There is no reason to encourage or allow crude animalistic instinctual behaviors in humans, even some lower animals discouraged.

No matter who we want among the soiled baggage of the three Presidential candidates, one of them became President. It is time to shield our swords and watch him fulfill his promise that his families have been blessed and there is nothing further to gain from corruption. While we have heard this before from every head of state once assuming the Presidency, this Nigerian President must be watched carefully, especially by those of us that did not support him.

This is the reason Tinubu lost his home state in Osun and his adopted state in Lagos. If there was any place he could have rigged the Election, he could not have lost in Lagos and Osun states. The fact that his own Yoruba people voted against him is a pointer that civilized dissents and opposition can be healthy in a multi ethnic nation. There were no killings or maiming of those who voted against Tinubu within his ethnic group. This negates the self-serving agitations of his opponents that he was not duly elected.

It is a mischievous strategy to cause chaos and nullify the Election in court of law or to unify only one ethnic group against the winner, out of all those in Nigeria. It is so preposterous, no other ethnic group would buy it. Unfortunately and sadly, we watch as the extremists within Ndi-Igbo cajole, maim and kill members of their own ethnic groups who have different political positions just as the Yoruba or Hausa. There are many more ethnic groups that do not belong to the three behemoths Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo that have accepted the result of the Election.

However, the Igbo extremists and their Youths are whipping up sentiments, chaos and allocating a weekly day of maiming or killing against anyone of their own that fails to adhere to their hypocrisy. This is in spite of the fact that 95% of Ndi-Igbo in the Election voted for Igbo and no other ethnic Presidential candidate. Yet, they claim they were rejected since other ethnic groups did not vote in enough numbers to increase their 95% solid votes within them.

They claimed they have never been the President when in fact the record demonstrated otherwise. Azikiwe was the President of Nigeria but that he was not the Executive when by choice, Azikiwe turned down Executive Prime Minister offer from Awolowo in order to form alliance with Tafawa Balewa's Government. They claimed they had never been the President when Aguyi Ironsi took Power as a Military President, he immediately turned Nigeria from a Federal government to a Unitary government.

Ndi-Igbo proclaimed Biafra that led to a civil war. But after a Biafran became the President with the support of North-central and Southern Nigerians, they disowned him as a Biafran. Though he had a cabinet full of Igbo! Ndi-Igbo opposed Awolowo, Abiola and now Tinubu for President. They fought each of them with everything they had including Awo that offered Zik Executive Prime Minister; Yea For Abacha to deny Abiola.

They are back again with frivolous court cases coming from their third place finish, in the Election. They refused to vote for anyone else but cried that they did not get enough votes from others, many of whom voted for Obi, their Presidential candidate. It is this form of hypocrisy that turns others off. It is anybody but Yoruba choice. They claimed they voted for Obasanjo but against Falaye, the Yoruba choice for President. A political malpractice.

Those who have warned all along that despite African warm welcome for strangers extended to Igbo in Yoruba land than anywhere else, Igbo were warning their children never to trust Yoruba. As Yoruba trained children that if a stranger arrived at dusk, he must be fed, clothed and given a place to sleep before dawn, Igbo parents were planning what we see today.

Smart woman. In low heels not to outside the husband.

She will be celebrated and welcomed home like Ibori

Ibadan, the only civilized place we find peace away from bustling and hustling life of major cities abroad and Africa free of xenophobia.

Can someone please name the most hassle free work place in the world where Africans, Europeans, Americans and Asians get along with least discrimination outside Africa.

Better still outside IBADAN.

All these your fake postulations like your blind economic vomits you inherited from your colonial masters, is say your people developed everywhere in Africa and overseas.

I do not think you are old enough to know the history of Igbo billionaires when they were known as honest and hard working. Compared to your today's drug dealers that made Tinubu look like a love-vendor drug retailer.

All Igbo billionaires made their money in Lagos and the West. Some branched out to the North and other places.

Start from Pa Sir Ojukwu the father of the boy that led you into civil war, to Azikiwe the man that cut off his nose to spite his face because he could not become Premier in the West. He rejected Executive Prime Minister on a silver platter to become Tafawa Balewa's slave.

Do not distort history, your superiors are watching.

mrvitalis:
Which anambranians are running to Lagos exactly ?

The successful business men who wants to expand and that's simply because of the federal government concentration of government Infrastructure in Lagos

Name one Igbo man in the top 100 richest Igbo men that started in Lagos ....I dare you name one

South west has always been hostile to Igbos ...north has produced Igbo billionaires who started with nothing, south south has , many ...south west hasn't

All of them in Lagos today came to Lagos as billionaires from coschsris to pinnacle to saplate to next oil to orange drugs , to emzor , to landmark to zinox ...name one oga

Deranged animal for money ritual.

The deluge of oil money in the hands of chosen people regardless of ethnicity has sent some of our poor into a frenzy.

Even the musicians are singing ai get money pass your papa.

Did you thank Peter Obi as the sun rises today?

HardBishop:
Let the boiling point starts, let the two tribes fight again🤣🤣🤣🤣 infact is better we go our separate ways

See ignorance in plain sight. Which war have you won?

I hope and pray that our worst fears are not realized. This is how civil wars start.

Violence begat Violence. Only a fool thinks a group has monopoly to Violence. When people, even animals are driven up or backed up to the wall, they fight back.

This guy does not represent the mentality of an average Yoruba man. I am not surprised that Yoruba have come out to condemn him.

It would be nice to see Ndi-Igbo come out and condemn their own like Yoruba do. But fear will not let decent Igbo do that.

You can be rest assured that Yoruba will never go to another man's land and display such arrogance and impunity Igbo display in Yoruba land that welcomed them.

Chinenye Ezewuzie have relatives like most of us looking forward to her release in Asia as Obi drug mule.

Drug peddling leaders have been front and center after the Election. Even drug dealers are pointing to Tinubu as the Presidential choice.

Though he won free and fair, we must not forget the 3 Presidential candidates mules for drugs and money laundering.

There must be a system in place to trace refugees pouring into Lagos daily.

Some of them can be bused to neighboring states in the South East, South South and North Central. South West already have many of them.

BTW, the ID cards already in progress can be very useful. Once every state develops theirs, it will be easier to capture night marauders.

The recent threat made in Lagos is another wakeup call.

There must be peace in every state.

Ojukwu mother is from Ilorin

In the U.S migrants kiss the ground, thank God and pray that it can only happen in America.

In Lagos they claim they are "taking care of the government"!

So Lagos State do not care for migrants but only tax them "profusely". Where do you get the money for the tax?

Abi you are one of those Nigerians that laundered money from abject poverty to rich countries to pay their high taxes.

Phoen1X:
Does lagos state govt care for its migrants ?...aside from taxing them profusely .

So you leave a place you are comfortable and well taken care of in order to go and take care of another place where you pay to make it better than your own

It is still a miracle how a tiny state like Lagos cope with influx of people daily while rich States like New York, Texas, Florida etc. cry about influx into their states.

Once on U.S soil, they are migrants. Lagos State take people from inside and outside Nigeria daily.

How?

What is Peter Obi that finished last with 95% of clannish ethnic group campaigning for now?

President of Biafra or a user!

It is very embarrassing to keep on apologizing for African men everywhere. I think even Farakhan has stopped apologizing.

We must accept the blame in Nigeria because of the rat race to make dollars we do not print. It has also affected our ladies because we lack enough examplinary characters. Ladies love men that have their heads proudly on their shoulders but no pity for sorry ass men.

It is hard to think of any community that made trillions and still went south to abject poverty like Nigeria. The time to ask our women to bear with us is slipping away. We are not leveraging the opportunities we had to lift our communities up.

Africans have become the weakest men out of greed for more, not because we lack.

Bloomingdale, I do admire your posts as a very experienced and educated lady. Most of your opponents do not realize that you have been there and done that.

But, of course there is a but. What you quoted is nothing but ignorance from South Africa used to justify zenophobia.

It boils down to women again, taken or attracted by West African men. Whatever Nigerians and other West African men are going through today, does not apply to all of them. Those older than their Youths today were admired all over Africa and the world.

It is now history. It is not what we did for South Africans but "what have you done for me lately".

You know there are still many West African men that are decent and well accomplished. Those who depend on past accomplishments have become the ones engaged in nefarious activities despised at home and abroad. This is the reason for the negative quote and you know it because you are well informed and experienced.
