geeez: Trading what exactly? The biggest taxes come from banks, telecoms, oil and gas marketers, insurance companies. If you can't reason, just go through the NSE listing and check the PBTs of listed companies and see how many traders make the list. Tax evading criminals claiming what they are not

Besides trading is one task that requires no major skill and I understand the Igbos will always looks for the less mentally tasking way out anyway

I have challenged these loud mouth Igbos several times to tell me what exactly they think they own in Lagos. Every time they never point to anything concrete. They even think that they pay taxes with their petty road side trading. Laughable.

bashr8: my job is to defend not attack , the owner and moderators are yorubas so if they had proble with the tribal wars they would have stopped it long ago by banning and deleting them but they dont care so why should i care. from my conclusion they dont mind if yoruba image is destroyed as long as igbo image is also destroyed .

You're not claiming that Igbos own Nairaland yet

Real-Mccoy:
Direct your ranting to Fashola and he will tell you how igbo traders are generating 70 percent of his state revenue for him through taxes.We never recovered our properties in Lagos after your parents stole and sold it. Tell your lies to the marines.

So you mean Lagos economy is dependent on road side hawking Igbos? What the hell are you smoking?

geeez: Seriously if Yorubas tow the age long nepotistic attitude of the Igbos, there would be no jobs for Igbos in Corporate Nigeria. A lot of these loud mouthed ingrates enjoyed free education in Yourba land and also had their houses and rents handed back to them after the civil war. The tribalistic bigots still have the nerve to scream blue murder. We've tolerated their criminal violation of our serenity for too long

We need to start changing tunes on these Igbos.

Real-Mccoy:
Clap for yourself mr Ewedu. Show me two performing Yoruba ministers in GEJ administration.

Dumb Igbo is it my fault if he appointed inefficient ones. Pay attention, here we are talking about trained civil servants being sacked by a Igbo minister on vengeful mission.

bashr8: answer my question and stop behaving like a rabid dog. no yerimba minister have ever benefited nigerians or even yorubas. prove me wrong you yoruba ritualist , child /daughter rapist.

No you answer my question useless Igbo cannibal and kidnapper and 419 part timer if Igbos are so competent without the Yoruba guidance why are all the Igbo states shitholes and den of armed robbers and kidnappers and even you don't live there but prefer to hawk CDs and DVDs on Lagos road sides?

ba7man: Politics is too depressing in this country for me to be concerned about tribal choices....if an Igbo/Hausa/Yoruba/American man is the best, then give it to him. (I'm Yoruba oo).

Yes but this is not what the tribalist Igbo minister doing. She's sacking qualified people for no reason to replace them with her fellow unqualified Igbos.

bashr8: ritualist , how many people have u killed and used for rituals. ekwensu , why didnt yoruba ministers peform during the same obj tenure or any other tenure? because they lack the iq and are blinded by tribalism , i dont blame you if not for those igbos you wont be using gsm today and making bank transactions as you like mumu.

Useless Igbo kidnapper cannibal no right minded Yoruba will work for PDP. See Lagos. And slowly now the rest of the western states are transforming. Meanwhile Igbo states are enclaves of kidnappers and outlaws. GSM you say? Do you mean I won't have Glo if not for kidnapping Igbo?

bashr8: you have nothing to argue with , start by cleaning up all the agencies that have hausa and yoruba as official language before coming here to complain. if the south south and other minorities were complaining it would have been a different issue but for north or yoruba to complain is just amusing. am sure you dont resid in nigeria so you wont understand.

Today you're agreeing with nepotism and marginalization of others because it favor your people. Tomorrow when you become the victim, you'll whine as usual and start talking about biafra.

And stop propagandizing, there are no federal agencies "that have hausa and yoruba as official language".

bashr8: shut up we know this country is a mess and laughing stock of the world because yerimba and hausas have been controlling it, yerimba are too tribalistic and lack the iq to make things work. see how soludo brought back banking and now sanusi have messed it up.see dora what akuyeli did with nafdac. frank nweke information. kema chikwe , the list is endless. dont worry we igbos are here to clean us your dirty mess.

slowpoke why don't you go and clean your backyard in Ebonyi state first. Petty, foolish kidnapper that you're you forgot that those people worked under Obasanjo. Ko ni da fun baba e.

bashr8: But Joe Obi, Special Assistant (Media) to Oduah, argued that the minister should be commended rather than condemned for what she has done in the ministry and dismisses allegations that she is pursuing an ethnic agenda. “I think the minister needs to be commended. [size=20pt]There was no lopsidedness in terms of Federal Character in the appointments. Those within the agencies who merited promotion but were unduly stagnated by previous administrations have been promoted[/size],” he told TheNEWS.



this explains it all , there have been a backlog of people who are to be promoted but hausa and yerimba tribalist have been bringing their people from their caves to occupy those positions.

How did she decided that "they were unduly stagnated?

[size=13pt]“We have also observed that some unqualified elements are being decorated with the toga of General Managers without the prerequisite experience, expertise, skills and qualification as stipulated in the public service rules and or the subsisting conditions of service in the various agencies. To add insult to an already sore wound, the Minister of Aviation has approved that a graduate of four years, without any sense of public service duties, be made a General Manager,” the unions raged.[/size]

StarBoard: This is a very senseless thread.
And anyone who has bothered to make it an Igbo-bashing thread must be a congenital i.diot.

Tell me if the story is anything new.
Tell me if Yorubas weren't getting preferential treatment in Ministry of Education and Aviation when they had their own there as ministers.

The mindsets of some stark illiterates here is mind-numbing,really.
Instead of dealing with the issue,which is widespread nepotism in our civil service, some flea-brained dolts would rather narrow it down to blaming Igbos, as if their silly tribes aren't guilty of the same thing.
These Yoruba fo.ols who are supposedly more learned than the rest of all Nigeria (according to their senseless myopia)can't think for themselves. They get erections when any tribal issue comes up, even the female ones.

Do you think at all? Your useless Igbo minister is sacking people and replacing them with less qualified Igbos. What does preferential treatment have to do with that. These people are not retiring. She is sacking them. And replacing them with Igbos who have no aviation training. Is that right in your dented Igbo mind? I guess as long as Igbos are the ones doing the marginalization its ok then right? I see you haven't learned from your past mistake and start to get carried away again like you did in the 60s right?

ozoebuka1: you need mental checkup...thanks!

petty reply.

blocker: Why won't any other Bigot post Wole soyinka's response to Chinua Achebe's book. Most of you loud mouthed punks have not even read it and yet you pride yourselves as champions of democracy when your definition of the term depends on the ethnic identity of the Author or the language of the object. You forced the Igbos back to this geographical expression called Nigeria (a.k.a "There was a Country" and yet after almost 43 years you don't know what to do with the survivors of the genocide and their prosperous descendants. No matter the tide of negative floods (whether corruption or Nepotism) besieging this contraption of so many nations called 'Nigeria' the IGBOS must survive one way or another and make no mistake about that so get used to it.

“Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the nonpharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.” --- John W. Gardner

“The increase was so exponential in such a short time that within three short decades the Igbos had closed the gap and quickly moved ahead as the group with the highest literacy rate, the highest standard of living, and the greatest of citizens with postsecondary education in Nigeria,” he contended.

Achebe is definitely on drug with these utterances. What a petty man! He think ibos are the greatest thing since the bigbang and that the world revolves around them. Laughable.

aryzgreat: I wonder! if achebe was to be a tribalist, would he have allowed a yorober guy near his daughter? they are attacking achebe bc he bared his mind on awolowo whom they see as mini god and untouchable. Achebe doesn't give a hoot. If he can't say the truth now is it when he is dead dat he will say it?

Only that there are no truth to what he said. He didn't like it that Awolowo was part of Gowon administration even though he himself was a Biafra propagandist. He was on Radio Biafra spreading hate toward other Nigerians. Has he apologized for his action during the war? For all the hateful things he said?

tomakint: In case you don’t know, I don’t give a tinker’s damn about what you think or say about me. I am a Yoruba man but NEVER a typical one like you! I was not privileged to witness the Civil war but my parents told me a lot about it, and I have read different materials (be it journals, books, interviews granted by principal actors and others) on it, and I can tell you I am saturated enough to draw the followings; that the Igbos were heavily marginalized before the outbreak of the war, that the Yorubas were used by the Northern oligarchy against the Igbos, the singular enemy of the Igbos was Nnamdi Azikiwe who was the ‘proverbial bat’ (neither there or here in Nigerian politics), that Odumegwu Ojukwu remains a hero till date because he had the interest of his people at heart and defended that interest till the end, that Awolowo’s sudden leaning towards the Northern-controlled regime of Gowon was ill-advised and regrettable (trust me Pa Awo regretted his role in that war), that the war was actually a mission of pogrom by the Northern Nigerian Army against the Igbos), that the Aburi conference agreements would have been the best thing to have happened to the political history of Nigeria if not snubbed, that Gowon was just a figure head used by the ‘Northern chosen few’ that were actually in charge, that genocide was actually carried out against the Igbos, that Gowon and some other actors like Joe Garba, Benjamin Adekunle and others who are not of the ‘far North clique’ felt used in that war, that the same ‘chosen few elements of the North’ are still in charge of this country (in case you don’t know, now you know), that we owe N’digbos deep apologies and reparations, that the war veterans have been neglected and their children are the militants we now have in Niger Delta, that the time of the war was a time being an Igbo man or woman was an anathema in other parts of the country, that Igbos are still living with the psychedelic memories of the war till date. I can go on but let me stop here because my mission is not to bore you with lengthy speech. We Yorubas are always fond of thinking that we are wise with the way we play politics but we are fooling ourselves; always running errands for these loons (wicked, blood-sucking Northerners) that will always take us for a ride is not wisdom but signs of weaknesses. All we know how to do best is put on our funny caps and ‘starched parachute’ we called ‘Agbada’ and start to elucidate, dramatise, extemporize at the hollow chambers, world press conferences, forums, seminars on state of affairs of the country and at the end of the day queue behind the ‘Abokis’ in order to be used as usual!

Fake Yoruba, quit whatever crap you're smoking because it ain't working for you. Meanwhile in real world...

lagcity: on a lighter note, i think i can answer this important question. Ibo girls can not marry Ibo men because in reality Ibo men are women. So you see, women can't marry women (at least in Naija). Ibo men talk too much; morning till night na chor! chor! chor! chor! chei!. Women don't like that, they want a man who can keep quiet and listen.

Secondly, Ibo men have rendered their women useless. Ibo man knows the price of every fish and tomato in the market. Therefore, he's not liberal with money, and that's a dealbreaker to women, as you know. Instead of Ibo man to sit his black a55 at home or face his business, he will want to go and buy pepper and tomato at the market. Haba! So you see, it is very difficult for ibo woman to chop ibo man's money This is where the Yoruba man comes in.

The bold part is so true its very funny.

He was spreading hate on Radio Biafra as a petty propagandist then as he is still doing today with his book of lies and bitterness.

ebere1712: For the benefit of those that have not watched the video. It was the pink brit devil that accussed ojukwu of demanding weapons before relief are supplied. Ojukwu never said that in this video. Yoroslaves, you freaking lying slaves; you still feel everybody is mentally reta.rded like you. Aworats free kpomo education was a waste.

Keep denying it. We know it was true.

Keep up the good work, I'm running off to Ivory coast.:- Ojukwu.

Typical igbo hustler that will do anything for money. Isn't that what Achebe is currently doing?

ACM10: It's ok! There was a war picture of a Biafran child who shed blood as tears. My uncle was executed by the Nigerian troop 3 months after the Biafran surrender. So I consider it an insult to the memory of my kinsmen who suffered and died when lies supplant truth.
We only want to live in a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria where our rights and individual liberties will protected and respected. We have moved on. Hope Yorubas do the same. No need to twist events of that era. Any attempt to do such will trigger a debate like this one.

Funny people. You want Yorubas to move on. Very funny.

Which of these elaborate quotes have anything to do with Awolowo again?

Yeske!:
Olodo, that was when he was still alive. So whatever Achebe is saying isn't new, already in public domain just that Achebe decided to speak up against it and you lot are busy defending 'Black Hitler'

You people have taken divorce from logic obviously. Either that or you're suffering from something worse. Achebe was a propagandist for Biafra. He was on Biafra Radio raining curse and expletives on Nigerians. He even went as far as saying ibos were being persecuted because they were Christians and that Nigerian muslims wanted to forcibly turn ibos into muslim. Achebe has no credibility as far as the Nigerian civil war was concern.

tomakint: You're welcome sir, all my life I have always strived to push the frontiers of ignorance, hatred, bitterness backward and uplift the Spirit of Love! You (the Igbos) have never, I repeat, have never been our enemies! If I was privileged to witness the Civil War, I will maintain the same position Professor Wole Soyinka (a Yoruba man like myself) took, he was against the actions of the Nigerian government why? He knew better!

A fake Yoruba. Pathetic but cute.

ebere1712: Dude yoroslaves cant differentiate reality from fiction. I say everything with proof. Here is my proof https://www.nairaland.com/856523/fulani-herdsman-chops-off-man
If you want more I would provide.

So that is your proof that Fulanis are massacring Yorubas. Do you want us to shout genocide for this or go on reprisal attack over this? Sorry ibo boy we are not a vengeful people like you. Get it through your skull.

ebere1712: Ezzi and Ezza is a fight between brothers that turned very ugly, I am sure the elders there would make sure it doesn't happen again.
And I don't hate people. I just point out the truth. I don't believe in suppressing justice for peace to reign. It never works, trust me

I guess its alright then. Butcher each other away.

ebere1712: My grandfathers and fathers faced off with the whole world in a 3 years duel. Some of us died in battle and some still live today to fight another day. We called a ceasefire. That is not an indication of weakness. Your grandfathers faced a couple of marauding fulani herdsmen, and scampered to ibadan, leaving their subjects in servitude to islamic nutheads Ojukwu was buried in Igboland, where was the last oba of ilorin buried. Probably in ibadan (or worst case scenario in ilorin as a slave). British tried the igbos and failed, Nigeria and britain and pratically the whole world tried again and failed (Igboland is still igboland with 100% integrity). Do you think that is the work of man. It is Amadioha in action with command from CHUKWU. All this things were prophesied and guess what the next prophesy is? CHUKWU and the sons of CHUKWU reign supreme.

Foolish hate-filled iboboy, you're ignorant. You're ranting and not making sense. No one I repeat no one wants to take your land. Snap out of it.

ebere1712: Ok fulani are your fellow country men, while they dagger your people with total disregard and utter wanton. Threatening to take you as slave again if Nigeria was to disintegrate. Sanusi dissing your entire race without a shred of fear. Well good luck yoroslave.

When did Fulanis dagger my people? In your dream I told you you have hate in your heart. While you're fantasizing about Fulanis with dagger chasing my people, Ezillo and Ezza in Ebonyi state massacre each others every day. Are they not iboz Cure yourself ibo boy.

ebere1712: No be yoroslaves live for ilorin again. Ok oh . Yeah I will be very bitter if we lost an inch of our territory. And I will never forget. That is the difference btw us though. Anyways I think it is a defeatist like you that needs a cure, not me.

Unlike you we consider Fulanis our countrymen and fellow black people. No hate. No bitterness. Infact in Ilorin today hardly any family without yoruba/fulani blood. We leave hatred, bitterness and division to you iboz. Cure yourselves or hate will consume you. Again.

ebere1712: Dude it is not bitterness. I am just pointing out to you that you are a slave. Bitter about what? I live gud where I am, why should I be bitter? Just putting you in your place, you yoroslave. Go and bow to your emir in ilorin, you vile slave.

We don't bow to no emir. Unlike foolish iboz, we just don't whine about losing war. We lost Ilorin fair and square. We are not some enraged people looking for revenge like the iboz. Or living in bitterness about the past. It is clear that you iboz have some unfinished business. Cure yourself.
