Christistruth03:

enemybulldozer:

Hungry animals

ZombiePUNISHER:
The bigots that supported Buhari for eight years have all queued up behind Tinubu to continue the country's destruction.

It's a pity non of them could challenge Sanusi on his lambasting his administration..

bloody shame

Bloody shame

flokii:
The warning from Gani Adams to Ekpa and the Igbos in general have made them all jittery.. It's to be writing false articles now about OPC all over the internet. Try sit at home nonsense in Lagos first, we want to check something.. pupo ninu yin o ni fara re lo.

FYI, this is not Awolowo's era where Igbos were misbehaving in our ancestral lands.. we the present generation Yorubas won't tolerate such.
The reason Igbos killed regionalism is for them to be able to spread their tentacles imto other regions and be pushing their domination agenda.

The earlier y'all move home to develop, the better for you.

Is that what your father told you ?

Couldntfigurean:
According to the recent released statistics that your biased Yoruba mods brothers refused to push to the frontpage,igbos are better off than Yoruba
Many Yoruba are suffering eventhough your dish can be prepared with less than 500 naira

Exactly

EsomahJD:
Very disgusting comments made by yorubas in the first page.
This thread will be deleted to hide these comments as usual.

They commit atrocities and hide .

lawani:
If not for British colonisation will anybody be dragging Apapa with the landowners?. Ethiopia is 120 million, a giant of Africa, no access to the sea and they are prospering with big cities, good infrastructure with all the Sectors of the economy at full throttle. Nigeria will break up soon and there will be quiet and opportunity for all the constituents to prosper properly

Do your visa travel abroad and become docile.

You people are backwards and tribalistic.

United States have many Yoruba population of a white man call you black monkey you cry racism.

But in your own black home you are a racist

Timothy89:
I'm sure none of your family will be proud of your foolishness just as you're afraid of identifying with your region name



a low self esteem m0rons like you can't be writing your imbecilic rubbish without no one taming you



when gulak was killed, did Hausa fight back? when igbo were murdered unjustly in north did Igbo fight back? when Yoruba was attacked in political caught fire in North do they fight back?. this means inter tribal and intra tribal conflict are avoidable but sometime uncontrollable


why showing you division because your kinsman lost the presidential election? at least if he won, let it prove it instead of you people show of shame



it's a shame

You still finger your mom?

In an incident which attracted much publicity at the time, the Fasehun faction of the OPC succeeded in almost paralyzing the ports of Apapa Wharf and Tin Can Port in Lagos in September 1999, following clashes with dockworkers. Some reports alleged that the Yoruba had been protesting against perceived domination of key positions in the ports held by Igbo, and brought in the OPC to strengthen their position; other alleged that it was an internal dispute between individuals fighting for control of influential positions in the dockworkers' union. The OPC launched a major operation in the ports, as did the police who were then called to restore order. There were violent clashes between the police and the OPC. Several people were killed, including a number of OPC members shot by the police

gabbytabby:
Propaganda and fake lies hoping to stir up the polity by the usual suspects.

Alchemy528:
Mistake here and there

It was deliberate nothing like mistake, next election cycle they will attack non indigenous people it's how they behave

Same mode of operation.



There have been several other incidents in which OPC members attacked people on the basis of their ethnicity, particularly Hausas, other northerners, and people suspected of being sympathetic to the Hausas. A Hausa trader in Lagos told Human Rights Watch how, during violent clashes at the Agege abattoir on the outskirts of Lagos, in late 2000, the OPC had targeted anyone suspected of being a Hausa: "They killed Alhaji Zubairu, a father of three from Kogi State. They asked him where he was from. He said Kogi. They said he was a Hausa man, and killed him. Actually he was a northerner, but not a Hausa."

An Igbo man witnessed an OPC operation in around January 2001 in which Hausas were specifically targeted. Apparently the incident was sparked off by a minor dispute between a Hausa man and a Yoruba man; the dispute escalated, the Yoruba man killed the Hausa man, then the Hausas retaliated and killed the Yoruba man. The Yoruba people then mobilized the OPC to come to their aid:
We were in the office that day and heard an uproar. We all came out. We saw people in a group holding matchets [machetes] and dangerous weapons. They were OPC, wearing uniforms. They were stopping commercial vehicles at Surualaba. They looked at every face. Anyone suspected of being a northerner was brought down and the vehicle asked to continue. They asked the person to speak their own language [Yoruba] or Igbo. If they failed, they cut their heads with matchets. They cut them, then set them ablaze with fuel. That day, they were targeting Hausa. They also attacked beggars (who include many Hausa) and burned them. If a person doesn't want to die, they use their guns [...]

The OPC killed Hausa for two days in that place. There were corpses littered all around. I saw more than thirty-six dead. There must be more as I didn't walk all the way. The victims included men, women, and the people who help the beggars.

After two days, the state government mobilized the police, the navy and the army. They arrested people. The military threw a grenade into a lorry-load of OPC people advancing. All the OPC members inside died. The lorry was burnt at Okokomaiko, about three miles away. That was the final blow, so they stopped.

Hausas were not the only targets of the OPC. In some cases, the OPC attacked people from other ethnic groups with whom they had had disputes, including Igbos; in other cases, they would simply attack anyone who was not a Yoruba. An Igbo man from the Yaba area of Lagos told Human Rights Watch about his experience following a clash between Igbo traders and Yoruba youths, in December 2001:
I was coming home from work, after 7 p.m. I ran into a group of OPC at Ebute Metta. They had clubs and machetes. They were in uniforms, white gowns with red cloth on their foreheads. They included men and women. They asked me which tribe I was from. I told them I am a child of God. They said: "he is not Yoruba, he must be Igbo." They said I should follow them. I said: "for what?"

I ran into a house for safety. The owner of the house told me what had happened. Earlier that day, some Igbo traders had fought area boys.

The Igbos had refused to pay the area boys and a fight ensued. The Igbos defeated the area boys, who were Yoruba. The area boys went to invite the OPC. Therefore, if you don't speak Yoruba, you must be Igbo.
The owner of the house said I should stay there that night.

Later I decided to go home, with some others. We started walking. All the vehicles were parked. There was complete confusion. We ran into another roadblock formed by the OPC. There were about 120 of them, including women who wore baggy trousers. They come like locusts, chanting war songs [...] They were beating any person who didn't speak Yoruba, using knives, arrows, local instruments, locally-made guns, and juju [charms]. This time they caught all of us. They let go those who could speak Yoruba. I could not speak Yoruba. They flogged me with canes. I was pleading with them. Some were asking me for money. Some said the Igbos had beaten one of theirs into a coma and they wanted revenge. One of them put his hand in my pocket and took all my money and ID card. By luck, a bus was passing by. I thought it was a chance to escape. I wriggled out of them and jumped onto the vehicle, injuring myself against the iron seats. The bus drove off. My injuries meant that I didn't work for three days.

New bridge una think say na Lagos una dey ?

Una go explain tire .
