In Lagos under 'One Nigeria' there seem to exist a silent economic war of destruction of livelihood, burning of markets in the middle of the night, extortion and harassment of genuine businesses by official area boys and street urchins, illegal/multiple taxing of business owners, in markets where Igbos operate e.g. Tejuoso, Alaba International and Ladipo. And now Oshodi electrical & electronic market.

Many of these attracious deeds are conducted at odd times when the traders won't be available to resist the dastardly acts.

Over the decades in the South-West, the Yorubas have systematically burnt Igbo shops as a guise to hijacking the markets from Igbos.

Prior to the 2015 general elections, amidst the threat by the lagoon crooner to drown Igbos, 18 Chisco transport buses were criminally burnt down in Lagos and up till date nothing was done to bring the culprits to book.

What does 'One Nigeria' mean?
A deceit where you are empowered to share my crude oil and wealth as 'One Nigeria' while I am considered a migrant to your State whom you're just merely accommodating and may perish in the lagoon at your command.

It is a chaotic situation where the Oba of a place would invite the representative of a people for discussion in his palace as regards a market leadership dispute only to set an ambush for him and unleash hundreds of thugs to flog and disgrace him.

It is an unjust situation where you're licensed to use foul means to destroy my business in your State with outrageous taxes. You can close my business premises at will while your elites continue to shout 'One Nigeria' to cover up the evils and injustices prevalent in the land. And you still expect me to be docile and continue to suffer silently as your hate and envy for my progress soar high.

Now, do you have any case for unity - fake or imaginary?

If you have there would be no need fooling and playing to the gallery and shouting 'One Nigeria'. Or have you ever heard 'One Great Britain', 'One United States of America', 'One Germany'?
That shows that something is fundamentally wrong which many have been shying away from.

Is it a crime for any person/group to choose to opt out of a relationship?

Strange bedfellows, with irreconcilable value systems that are at best suitable for the individual selves, are not meant to be together! The 102 years of existence attest to that verdict!

Victor Hugo once said "no army can stop an idea whose time has come" and that "one can resist the invasion of armies but not the invasion of ideas".

The motorcycle rider obviousky did not value his life and does not have the common sense to follow basic safety rules! Wear a gaddamn helmet, his life could have been saved if he had a helmet since he died from head trauma! Most Nigerians do behave like animals, very stubborn and unruly people! Like freaking apes!!!!

Autolord:

" I remember clearly, when jonathan did the same thing last year, the likes of passingshot, midolian, Rilwayne001 alias Rilwon etc all condemned him that he's insensitive to the plights of nigerians. But today, our PMB is busy smiling and those apc e-rats are busy hailing him. They release one picture each day to calm their supporters down, and they fall for it. I just pray God opens their eyes to see the truth, PMB is empty(nemo dat quod non habet)". Quote thee anywhere

You have no clue what you are talking about................your emotions are beclouding your thought processes from this opening remark

Naija imports everything from crude oil produced in Naija. Don't blame folks blame govt for not fixing Naija for manufacturing........Now that Government is trying to fix you are whining

U still have to import machinery and tools for production...................You can still import these implements and source for forex through the official channels....go check the list of not valid for export....input to industries and machinery are not there

The problem is that govt treating business people as enemy.. .....Do you know importation is killing the economy...why do we import fish nd tooth pick? as far as I know those businesses that import fish toothpick, toothpaste, and products that have good local alternatives should be killed. Do you know Diesel businesses are dying due to improved power , I think it is a good thing for now

Banning and arresting legitimate business people are no strategy, what's govt plan?....Your emotions again have taken over, government is not banning and arresting legitimate people! Legitimacy is if you do things within the law. IS carry cash above the threshhold legitimate? I dont know what you want...Jonathan slept for one term and two years ...una complain....Buhari is acting and not sleeping u still complain...make up your mind about what u want

How come dollar hasn't depreciated against Naira get off nairaland and check news sites and the cbn website sheck the official and blackmarket rates from MAy to date and tell me if it is stable , lower or higher based on FACTS not what some grumpy , disgruntled person has told you .....not reading is a big problem for blacks

kettykin:
So it is now a crime for traders to travel with foreign currency, while it is allowed for politicians or is this now another attempt by an inept administration to kill the economy of the east

I have often said that the problem with Nigeria is not leadership but the entire population.

Honesty and integrity has taken a back seat... there are people here celebrating this man's crookedness. Even if Mr Arinze has 100 million in his account, is it your money? Did you work with him? You think its sharpness to reap where you did not sow?

I have experienced this often times with inspection agents, forwarders, suppliers... the country is just a big pile of dishonest people and...yes, the world has also taken notice.

Yet we wonder why they are tensed when the name Nigeria is mentioned.

If we dont change this, no amount of fake prayers will save us from poverty and our reputation as crooks.
