Like a boss! Fashola the overrated bigot must be called to other.

Where is your FFK, is it on the boobs or ikebe....or perharps inner thigh.

There is a new name for that initial. FaniFvKa. Chineke.

Governor Raji Fashola. GCOFR

Tony Okeke hiding under PDP banner to safely throw cheap shots and push igbo agenda.

People like Ubah are the burdens in SE.

I wish him luck. Let us think forward and suppose he wins and become governor. So he will sponsor kids from a village with zero fast pace to go for two weeks event in a mega city that does not sleep and where they will be sorrounded in opulence and sheer wonder of a zoom zoom lifestyle. So the kids return home with this exposure and guess where in Nigeria they will now believe they belong?

You got it Lagos! After everything thats been said in the past three weeks, do people like Ubah not get it?

To Chairman,
To Afam,
To Rookie,

As events of the past many days revealed, there are hard defined barriers that delineates Yoruba from Igbo. Your spent effort to create a virtual united Nigeria is not producing desirable result and is in the way of our political interest here in Nairaland. Integration of cultural and philosophical differences between Yoruba and Igbo will find success on the ground first before any meaningful online model of unity can be founded. Assaults and counter assaults at state leadership level and involving different vocal points representing ethnic sentiments are not new and until we go back to Federalism or a pre1890 existence, we must expect these exchanges to continue as part and parcel of our political culture. What we've been reading in the news media sound no different than a ethnic face off between Yoruba and Igbo in Nairaland, but without hidden posts and bans, does it not?

Who is banning Orji Kalu? In here, FFK would have had half or more of his published views hidden. Each is defending the core of his spirit and who he is as a human. No spirit of pride is greater than that displayed by a man when he rises in allegiance to defend and proclaim the glory of his fatherland. Therefore it is immoral and anti-patriotic for the leaders of Nairaland to compel allegiance on us and dictate rules and enforcement of interaction under such strict structure which encourages National pride as substitute and preferred patriotism in contrast to ethnic spirit and pride.

Nigeria is a surrogate fatherland. Yoruba knows where its father's house is and we are unwilling to substitute surrogate for a father.

Until the various ethnic groups themselves adopt nationalism and the possessivenes of ethnicity is merged and conciled into a broader landscape beyond the native land, Nairaland ought to be nothing more than a facilitator for people to bring their realities online for sharing.

I hereby urge the moderators to review your operational process here and relax the on the restrictions.

From your one and only,
Chief Negro Nations (A.o.OFR)

OP,

I have an information that your political party would love to get. Contact me lets talk.

Don't worry about these tribalists. Their hatred blinds their reasoning. If Lagosians were like these fellas, it wouldn't have grown as much as it has.

When people do business, they don't know tribe. An Ibo trader doesn't care who buys his spare parts. Neither does the Yoruba mechanic care who comes to fix his car. Redeemed church is filled with Igbos who don't care that Adeboye is Yoruba. Christ Embassy is filled with Yorubas who don't care that Pastor Chris is Edo.
Yorubas bank in Diamond bank not minding that the owner Pascal Dozie is Igbo. Same as Igbos bank in GTBank not minding that Fola Adeola or the Late Adenirokun or Segun Agabje are Yorubas.

In the real life, nobody cares about all these tribalism nonsense. Its just these Nairaland kids who are giving the world a really bad impression through their useless comments on the internet.

PapaBrowne,

There is a new reality. Yoruba never cared, until Ibo leaders went on a rampage over a non-discriminatory action in Lagos, addressing Fashola, the most Ibo-friendly Yoruba leader, insults and disparaging words.

Whatever you are witnessing now is a befitting reaction that is well desrving for Ibos. Yorubas are not at all disrespectful, they are only responding in kind to you. If their output to you is disrespectful it is because your input to them is awful. So far Yoruba is responding to you, in a defensive mode,, I can imagine if they go on the assault and start to attack you. If you think of them as tribalist in a defensive mode then how would you qualify them in an assault mode?

I used third person so my view is not tainted with bias. I would be happy to give you a bias view if you need it.

ODENIG: @OAM4JI like this,i want you to look at the posts clearly in Politics it appears as if some tribes are being hunted.Yorubas are my best amongst the tribe in Nigeria,but for the likes of Femi Fani Kayode to come with debate that breeds bad blood is not what our generation need.Most post countering FFK are being deleted but insult and derogatory words used by FFK are being published within a split second.I have earlier mentioned in the post that if Seun refuses to address this issue i will seek to write a world petition against Nairaland.A social media meant for interaction should not take side with any individual that want to make himself god in Nigeria.People promoted Nairaland and same people not tribe might bring it down.What is this bitter truth about Igbos being voiced out from a bitter mind .Please read in between lines on FFK essays.God bless Nairaland And God Bless federal Republic of NIgeria.

Odenigbo, you will seek to do a what .....

Ngwakwe: Now I understand what the Yorubas meant by South West integration.

It pains to loose Lagos State economically and are on the verge of being minority in this great city thereby posing a serious threat to their political dominance.

If democracy "government by the majority" is encouraged, entrenched and developed in Nigeria, the much hated tribe will have a say one day as a political block.

The advent of free and fair election will bring the Igbos nearer to the Government through negotiations either to share or support one of their own.

The world is now a global village and its either the Yorubas become progressive or be ruled in the Land they once called the shot as majority.

No problem, if the change fails to come before 2015, I know 2019 will never be politics as usual in Lagos State.

I have a dream, that come 2035 or before that, an Igbo man/woman will not only run for Governorship position in a Yoruba dominated Party but will definitely win it and also deliver the dividends of democracy to all its citizens.

You have been in Eastern Nigeria for centuries and beside igboland you are not majority in any other ethnic land in your neck of wood.

You have been in the Nother part of Nigeria far longer before you started trickling into West and in North you have no majority.

Respected ethnicities have been honored with their own exclusive wards and admitted into the Oba Council because of contribution to the culture and people of Lagos. Ibo ought to have been given such an honor, but your continued effrontery and clash with the culture makes the people view you as a foreigner, instead of accepting you as a Lagosian. Your projection of a majority control of Lagos is nothing but another "Alice in Wonderland" fantasy.

As long you remain in the "foreigner" category your honor in Lagos will never materialize.

Sir Louis Ojukwu should have had an Eyo in his honor. He will never have one because ndigbo refuse to honor and respect the customs of the land. Simple!

yarodin:

Look here boy, the Igbo traders will probably give in to greedy demands your leaders have put in place, but guess what, na people like you go pay. Igbos are about justice for all, that is why they are fighting to stop this injustice that is been melted out by your lazy leaders, but as a typical follow follow, you will not for one minute think for yourself.

Really? Igbos are for justice for all, how?

....you call selling substandard products "justice"? you must be out of ya mind!

yarodin:

No we will not obey your stupid laws, come and give us the "Aboki" treatment.

Thats the same expression from Alaba years back. At last, after coming to terms with reality they surrendered and obeyed the very laws they promised not to abide by. There is lessons learnt in that.

Ladipo will soon realize that Lagos is not under the domain or control of igbo governors and in diaspora, rather than be evicted from the market they will accept to be under Babaloja.

"come and give us the Aboki treatment" is nothing short of suicidal wishes. It is not far from President Bush urging Iraqi insurgents to "bring it on". When they did the Americans suffered great casualties everywhere and anywhere in Iraq, including a heavily fortified "green zone". temper your comments.
