That's personal decision. Abi when last did you hear about any face off?

But Igbophobia is not personal decision

Kaii...

helinues:
Hahahaha, must attacking others be physical?
What should we say about the online attacks?

Why have you done to the others who attacked you physical on continuous basis...?

41 people were killed in your church in Ondo...not by Igbos.

Most of your villages has been chased away to Benin republic..but you only hate those who insult you online

As I continue to reseach I saw this...

Why do Nigerians not like Igbos?
Anti-Igbo sentiment - Wikipedia
During the beginning years of Nigeria's colonial independence, the Igbo people increasingly came to be perceived as a disproportionately-favoured ethnic group with affluence and multi-regionalistic opportunity due to the Igbo being employed within colonial Nigeria by the colonial authorities and in the public sector in ...

..So the question is...for 50years after the war..Igbos have not led this country..in short they have been perpetually marginalised..

So why do others especially from SW...still hate them, than even when they were in charge for just 2 or 3years after independence?

helinues:
Search within your mind and soul, why always Igbo?

There is nothing to search...then for you who hate them to say why?

I have never seen them attack you, burn your towns...so why the hatred...?

helinues:
You can't plant guava and be expecting to harvest apple

If everyone can hate you, then you need to check within yourself

The wolf criers dem

These people planted more gauva...but I have not seen you plain coward attack them like the Igbos...

You have not even lifted a finger...

I expected main Igbohaters here on Nairaland to contribute so people can learn>

Even within Lagos, the hunt for the Igbo continued unabated, in their homes and at roadblocks.” – Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, from his memoir “You Must Set Forth at Dawn.” The Random House Publishing Group; New York: 2006

olaric:
I am not sure anyone hates the Ibos; please stop all these conspiracy theories. I have been to the East a couple of times in the past, and the way Ibos attack their kinsmen is worse than the way non-Ibos do.

I am giving you evidence and you are saying otherwise...

This is love..and this was before this current election.

Igbos are aliens in Yorubaland; they should never come ...

19 Mar 2023 — Igbos are aliens in Yorubaland; they should never come near Lagos politics again, Tinubu's spokesman Bayo Onanuga declares.

---------------------------------
Are they not Nigerians?

Why one Nigeria?

I don't expect to see any intelligent answers for this..

I am a bit curious though...and yet not too surprised...

Hating has to do with their entrepreneur spirit.

Can you imagine after the terrible things that happen leading to the war, during the war, and after the war...the same Igbos are almost toeing one on one with all those others after losing everything during the war?

They have even gone a step further by developing everywhere they lived unlike the other two major tribes who only focused on their region.

igboarenice:
Stop embarrassing ndigbo. Ndigbo are not hated anywhere.

Yes..they are really loved more than the anythings else...

“Bestialities and indignities of all kinds were visited on the Biafrans in 1966. In Ikeja Barracks (Western Nigeria), Biafrans were forcibly fed on a mixture of human urine and feces. In Northern Nigeria, numerous housewives and nursing mothers were violated before their husbands and children. Young girls were abducted from their homes, working places and schools and forced into intercourse with sick, demented and leprous men.” (Mr. Eric Spiff, German War Correspondent, an eyewitness, 1967)

I really want to know the real crime of Igbos in Nigeria?

I have traveled to almost all part of Nigeria and also have my share of travelling to some other parts of the world where I have interacted with different people from different races....and I have seen a lot...

The hatred for the Igbos did not start today or after the elections from 2015...

The hatred started as far back after independence, and the anger and hatred intensify during the civil war..and afterwards.

It means Igbos are have suffered starting from that time even when Nigeria was a few years old in nationhood.

This has continued even till today and I have never seen where Igbos attack people in their region.

The animosity in SW now was because they claimed Igbos said Lagos was a no mans land...

Should this be the reason for the height of hatred..and now asking them to leave using covert way... by destroying their properties, etc, etc..?

Now look at this quote from UNICEF staff during the war...and you will see that the hatred has nothing to do with what is going on now...it has been their even before the civil war...

“Myself and the some UNICEF representatives went on to convey something of what lay behind this intransigence: Among the large majority hailing from that tribe who are the most vocal in inciting the complete extermination of the Igbo. I often heard remarks that all Nigeria’s ills will be cured once the Igbo have been exterminated from the human map.” (Dr. Conor Cruise O’Brien, 21 December 1967, New York Review).

So those shouting Igbos should respect their hosts...as the reason for hating them...should try and see that these has nothing to with respecting hosts...

There must be a reason for this..and that's what I am trying to find out.

Lifestone:
I was expecting this. There are plethora of literatures, books both physical and online that pointed to the fact that Federal Government if like Awolowo made several offers to bring in Food via a mutually agreed channels into Biafra but were spurned by Dim Emeka Ojukwu.
The blockage was necessary to stop further weapon supply to Biafra and was not necessarily and importantly for starvation. What is normally done in most warfare is for both parties to workout a corridor through which only food items will be made available to civilians who are mostly bearing the consequences of a war. An example is the war in Ukraine, where the international community created a grain route out of Ukraine, this was agreed to by Russians.
In the case of Biafra, Ojukwu insisted that food into Biafra must come only at his terms and channels. Even when the situation became terrible, he never shifted his position allowing his people to die and gleefully showcasing these accross the world as propaganda instrument which was part of his weapon of the war.
As between Ojukwu who allowed his people to surfer and Awolowo who offered food, Igbos choose to celebrate Ojukwu and turn Awolowo to a hate object.
I will implore Igbos to read objectively the account of the Civil War (which is very unfortunate)

Then why the quote of ."...all is fair in war" by Awolowo?

You have not answered anything..as you try to cover it up...but thank God for the internet, as history has been removed from school, so people like you can only believe what you are told...

This was even supported by the head of Nigeria delegation dung the war...

“Starvation is a weapon of war, and we have every intention of using it against the rebels” (Mr. Alison Ayida, Head of Nigerian delegation, Niamey Peace talks, July 1968.)

Is the South east safe?

is the South east developed?

does the South east have basic amenities and infrastructures?

does the South east even agree with themselves?


All u have said is correct bt are also just excuses.

Lagos isn't the 1st or only Federal capital territory. Neither is it the current FCT yet it thrives yes may due to some unfair and redundant government policies like the ports bt even if u open the ports nobody will leave lagos in droves for ph because of this prime location and safety in Nigeria.

Create international Airports in all regions still won't attract foreigners or IT companies etc. if the environment isn't safe, developed and predictable.

Is is international Airports or sea ports that stopping ur roads development or clean environment like akwaibom and calabar?

All u have said are the usual excuses we have been hearing for donkey years while other regions are moving forward and u are shouting chest beating.

Who chest beating ep?

Why not talk about He-badan your region capital?

You guys just like to take glory of all the work of others

Naijaguy123:
Cry me a river . You can't reap where you did not sow.

Yoruba Ronu...

We have asked a million times...where you two face demons sowed in 1999 that you reaped later...but none of you treacherous Ronus have been able to provide the answer.

Tunde835:
IPIB terrorists and their obsession with Yorùbás as always

Why can't you Yoruba Nation terror soldiers, navy and police go with your 5 dusty states and leave the old mid-west alone...

Very soon you will start creating law to force them to leave once they start doing better than you lazy fellows.

You mean this will happen after Obi Pandora reclaim his ost mandate from Kanu in Ipobland ?

What sort of topic is this?

Compare with this topic...

crossfm:
I don't know the reason why some people go about creating topics that will foster enemity, hatred and division amongst the various tribe's in Nigeria.

The people beating drums of war in this country don't know that war is akin to setting fire to a dry forest. Once the fire ignites to curtail is very difficult.

In most cases I blame the people who like their comments and cheer them on.

If you want everyone to believe your fake desire for unity... let me see you condemn Oba of Lagos, Onanuga, FFK, MC Oluomo...

..cheap liar....

complexstuffs:
Beggi Beggi SE have been begging to form friendship with SS for years.

SS have every reason not to want to associate with SE because SE love is fake. SS have natural resources including oil, and SS can access the sea unlike landlocked SE.

SE are Conny and dubious people who are only interested in getting their hands on the resources of SS and dominating SS

Your old folks have really deceived you...thinking that assss liccckkkkking the north will favor them.

So now what have the north who have all your oil....and the Yurobas who have all your jobs in the oil companies...who are not "conny" done to you that Igbos have done even before the white men came?

I know you are not from the SS...

You Yorubas have always used treachery to get anything.

Take a look at this map of Lesotho 🇱🇸 and tell me what you found.

Lifestone:
Igbos should apologize to Awolowo for numerous lie against him

...


On starvation....policy..

I didn't see you quote on...Awolowos..."...all is fair in war"

You only pick the part that will satisfy your warp narrative.

ebenholer2:
Yoruba can be so friendly but honestly the Igbo has pushed them to the wall through their nastiness. I accommodate u, u turn me to your enemy how unbecoming is that attitude honestly.

How silly and unthought of you...MC Oluomo thugggggg.

UK accommodate large swell of you Yorubas...

Have you seen the white supremacist and one of their local kings in UK...calling you benefit scammers in his palace and telling you not to vote for Khan a non white Briton for Mayor of London..or you will all be drown in RIVER THAMES

No shame...

Jsucre:
they are in Lagos to beg lasgidi gov to have mercy on them. Era of political wahala has gone. Lagos is everybody's home. We move

...and this is the one Nigeria your old folks like Awolowo wanted..

so how are you the only sophisticated tribe on earth?

jaxxy:
Nobody goes to invest in an unsafe, unprofitable and unpredictable environment just because its called home.

Elon musk is from SA bt his biggest investment is in US and China because they provide the right environment.

Lagos provides the right environment so they invest in lagos, that's how it works. Let ur governors do the right thing for once and u won't need to preach b4 people rush to invest.

This is not only in the south east bt also south west bt lagos is a southwestern state and welcomes all so they are fine.

Please stop chest beating.

Remove the fact that Lagos was a former capital and have seen migration over time...

Remove that Lagos has GQ of all the banks, Insurance, IT companies, etc..

Remove the fact that most people from other southern state have to travel to Lagos for Visas and travel.

Remove the fact the they have to use MMIA to travel.

Remove the fact that most importers have to use the only fully functional seaport...

When you remove all these, you will find that Lagos would revert to another Ibadan or at best another Cotonou Benin republic...

...these a verifiable facts.

Omoawoke:
Baba talk say he go use technology send container to Aba from China.

Baba, landlocked countries are suffering, ocean is still the major means to international trade.

And talking of defense, how will your navy fight?

Abi you go dey use our coast do naval training?

You people sha you don’t know what’s doing you

How do Switzerland do it?

Sudan, Lesotho, Austria etc....

There is no point living with groups that detest all your move and the gang up...

The potential of SE is wasted by not being autonomous.

FSBoperator:

Who wan buy land for Clifford Orji land ?

I get land already and not looking at another man's land

Besides that land is also too expensive like your retired but not tired olosho women you pay through your nose to marry.

Does this make you a serious human being...?

There are many cheap land you can get for between 500K - 1 million

I know multidimensional poverty is your biggest problem..even as you live inside your ocean

Omoawoke:
Remind me which year was that again?
When did southeast stand alone? During the Stone Age era?
We are talking of a modern world of globalization and trade. And you want to carve out a small dot from the middle of a sovereign country. Which country in the world does that?
To be surrounded by another country in all corners? Do you people know what you are really saying?

Going by your weak comment...Lesotho and Swaziland would have merged with SA...

With technology you can send stuff anywhere in the world,...in terms of globalization..

FSBoperator:
Chase another Okoro away.

Begone and never come back.


Land Thief.

Little man...

This is land in SE and people are begged to buy...you can buy any property here if you have the money...

So which land are you talking about?

Igbos have never dragged land with any one...

I hope you are alright...though?

Omoawoke:
I know you are not technically sound. Actually, Most of you are not and that’s why you don’t know what you are asking for.

Let me educate you small.

See the map of Nigeria below. Tell me how you want to carve out southeast from a country that surrounds you? Meaning your country will be in the middle of Nigeria. Those countries you mentioned may be landlocked but they are not enveloped by a single country. Even Niger is not enveloped by a single country.


And you talk of river, you think na canoe dem they use carry containers?
Ships cannot pass through rivers oga!!! Stop disgracing yourself and update your knowledge

Southeast can never ever stand on its own

How did they stand before Nigeria was formed...
