Fire his arze! I cant stand his bigotry.

As much as I'm a pro-Igbo land kind of person, if Yorubas attack my people, we shall not fold our hands, we'll be forced to defend ourselves, tit for tat.

And you cannot secede because we'll also fight you. That's what's up.

I used to side you people against my people, but I've seen that you loud-mouth Afonja internet warrior here are a bunch of unreasonable tribalistic beasts.

Eko Ile:
How do you reconcile both statements and contradictions?


No offense, but you are sounding more and more ridiculously re.tarded.  

Talking about representation, ibo people have representation at the state level and the Governor promised to do more.

They are also getting representation because your traders are trading in peace, they are safe and not threatened or getting kidnapped like they experience back east. Obviously, somebody is looking out for them and that's representation.

They are basically getting the same representation  Yoruba Lagosians are getting, your problem as usual is  tribalism because you want the representation to be ibo and not Yoruba, but please, don't say you have no representation because you do.

Your problem is pure tribalism, the same tribalism you people go all over the country peddling and getting your a/s/s kicked for all the time.

Igbos are not even tribalistic enough for my liking. I wish every Igbo man was like me, you wont even see a single development in Lagos.

You have no problem with hausa that refuse to rent houses, but sleep in mosques and trailers in Lagos. Yet return to the North with all the cash from the sale of their agricultural produce to Lagosians, a win-lose situation. This is the more reason I feel no remorse calling you Yorubas ungrateful fools. It's only my Igbo people keep putting themselves into your hands, unfortunately.

You Yorubas are the most tribalistic nigerians. Hausas are not even half tribalistic as you are(a Yoruba woman is even a senator in Adamawa). The problem with the hausas has more to do with religious intolerance and their no-holds barred violence if they feel their religion is threatened.

So take that crap claim to yourself. You are the masters of tribalism.

Andre Uweh:
28%

No bros. The ex-gov of Lagos gave 43% Igbo population in the parallel census he did in 2006.

I pity all the loud-mouthed Yoruba internet warriors. More sleepless nights.

I hope you dont die of insomnia in the end.

I thought the duo dont see eye to eye.

Anyway, thank God for their lives. This should be a warning for them to change their evil ways.

owobokiri:
I was told that all you need to do to have your Ikwerre name is to simply add the letter "R" to any Igbo name and you have an Ikwerre name. EG; Obinna = Robinna. (maybe this is how we got "Robinho). Emeka = Remeka. Okoro = Rokoro. .

Ikwerre kwenu!

eku_bear:
100% agree. It is going to be OK. Not in the way you think, though.

That was the meaning of the ONE NIGERIA you wanted. Learn to live with it or secede.

Sounds like this is a settled matter. i wonder why these interlopers are making noise all over the place,



Fashola Pledges To Increase Igbo Participation In Cabinet, By Ambrose Nnaji



New York [RR] LAGOS—THE Lagos State government under the administration of Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola has once again restated his resolve to give equal opportunities to the Igbo community to participate in the affairs of the state governance.

He has also re-assured his commitment to the safety and security of lives and property of indigenes and non-indigenes in the state.

He made this promise following a request by the Igbo political group in the Action Congress (AC) on the state government to increase the Igbo political slots in the cabinet both at the state and local government levels.

The governor made this known in his speech delivered during the inauguration ceremony of the Old Alimosho Chapter of the Igbo United Political Coalition, held at Igando-Ikotun Local Council Development Area Secretariat, Ikotun, Lagos at the weekend.

Represented by the Hon. Jino Ajaye, the governor, who stated that Igbo leadership in the state has contributed in no measurable way to the socio-economic growth of Lagos state, noted that in a true democratic setting, ethnic or political belief should not be a barrier to the smooth running of any government.

According to him, no meaningful economic development would be achieved in the state where rancour, kidnapping, ethnic and tribal sentiments were the order of the day.

“Politics is for all of us. The democracy we are witnessing today, the transformational changes, the developmental stages in the state were made possible because we are in true democratic period. Lagos State has now grown to a mega state because your contribution has been added to it. We are not doing it alone, we are doing it in conjunction with all your efforts,” the governor said.

Meanwhile, the Igbo representation in the Lagos state cabinet has been commended by the state government. It would be recalled that the office of Budget and Planning has been occupied by Igbo born indigene since the Tinubu-Fashola administrations and has been described as one of the best, vibrant offices that has sparked off a lot of economic developments in the state.

While appealing to Lagosians to be law abiding and go about their businesses without fear or molestation, the governor assured that adequate security has been put in place to protect lives and property of the people.

In his address, the chairman, Igbo United Political Coalition Alimosho Local Government Area, Hon. Onuegbu Theophilus, who revealed that the group has already mapped out strategies to ensure that the Action Congress was voted back into office in the 2011 general elections, however, regretted that some members of the Igbo political coalition in Alimosho were denied registration in some LCDAs and wards during the 2007 general elections.

He said that some AC leaders in Alimosho saw the Igbo United Political Coalition as a rival group and threat to true democratic principles.

According to him, the influx of the group into the party was a magnanimous swell-up to the numerical strength of the party and an assurance of the South-East and South-South block vote for the Action Congress in the Lagos State.

He further decried the non representation of the Igbo Political Coalition since the inception of the present LCDA government in the six LCDAs in Alimosho.

“We have no Councillorship appointment, no Special Advisers appointment, no Senior Special Assistant appointment except in Igando-Ikotun LCDA,” Onuegbu said.

Adding, our fair share of dividends of democracy both at state and local government levels including hajj/Jerusalem pilgrimage slots, Board Membership appointments have not been duly accorded to us.

Hon. Theophilus, who condemned personal interest and tribal sentiments in the running of any government, urged the party leaders to be fair and patriotic in the discharge of the dividends of democracy. Saying, in a democratic dispensation, everybody has the right to vote and be voted for.

“The Igbo United Political Coalition was part of the Lagos State Action Congress which came up in 2006. It was a coalition of many groups, forums, caucuses and fronts that sprang up to pull support for the Action congress during the campaign period of 2007 general elections”, Onuegbu said.

“This coalition was structured with multiple tentacles that galvanized together non-Yoruba language speaking ethnic groups from Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Delta, Bayelsa, Edo, Cross River, Ebonyi, Enugu Imo and Rivers States”.

In Alimosho L.G.A. which comprises six local Council Development areas-(LCDA), Igbos have over 48 percent of the population while other ethnic groups from South-South geo-political zone consist about 22.6 percent of Alimosho population, he concluded.

Clearly, all your ngbanti tribalistic rants are for nothing.

Reasonable folks understand the importance of alliances beyond ethnic bigotry.

Beaf:
Words of a fool.

Yoruba's, SS, Middle Belters and Ibo's are all victims of massacres in the core North. Don't let bigotry dim your little mind.

hahaha. I guess his Yoruba brothers become 'Igbos' when they are dead.

T9ksy:
. . . . . and you know what you can do with your "pity".
[color=#000099][i]Hell, that's why the abokis slaughters them at the drop of a "koran"!!!

And Abokis dont slaughter Yorubas? You are a certified oloshi

All these Afonja internet loud-mouth warriors sef.

You really have a lot of sleep to lose if this 45% modestly given by Tinubu is casting their votes. I really pity una sha.

I wonder why a paper owned by the Awos is at the forefront in nailing down Tinubu.

Dude must really be a pain in the arse to many in the SW.

lol. Babapupa is one of those rehabilitated KAI officer.

mods, pls move this thread to Tribalism section. Thanks.

na common courtesy, means nothing.

It's fun deceiving oneself. It will soon dawn on you.

eku_bear:
lol @ Russia in that picture.

Nation of alcoholics.

I dont think they can outshine the Germans.

Dont mind those folks who know nothing about beers.

Someone that will probably 'die off' after just a cup, and has no clue how consumers prefer their drinks. You think say na name be beer?

I think I've seen some of these brands in the east before.

presido1:
Dude you can say he owns the franchise to market their product in Nigeria, that doesn't mean he owns the company. Its a SA company HQed in London.
SAB(South African Brewery) They added miller when they acquired Miller Brewery to have SABmiller.
More jobs/alcohol brands for Nigerians.

Since they'll be manufacturing on site I doubt that.

It's most likely he end up being one of the unnamed shareholders out of the 20% allotted for local investment.

I just hope the Anambra state gov gets a larger share of the 20%. That means more sources of revenue to put the state in shape in areas of infrastructure and the likes.

onye_ngbu:
It is an open secret here in anambra that Peter Obi 'owns' Grand and Castle brands so its no surprise seeing them suddenly want to set up a brewery in Onitsha joined by 'innamed' nigerian investors.

There's nothing wrong if he owns it.

In the end, more jobs are created in the state. It's a lot better than investing the money elsewhere.

Are Yorubas still looking for their Oba?

hehehe. We just found him in Benin Republic! You can contact Becomrich, the electricity engineering mapologist for satellite pictures

Kobojunkie:
Translation --- "I don't have any posts actually showing you denigrading Ibos or South Easterners in any way, but I will continue to accuse you falsely of being an Ibo hater just because I cannot stand the way you continue to object to my claims, no matter how biased they may be of Ibos and other groups out there"

@Dede1, Grow up!!!  I hope you realize all I did was ask you, for the umpteenth time, to substantiate the FALSE claims you continue to make of my person, and for the umpteenth time, you have chosen to go on and on without even providing one ounce of evidence to show you have even been thinking clearly as a person on these issues. I suggest you give it a rest already. We are not all stuck in the past and as conceited as you are. Some of us are actually able to look beyond the past, our ethnic identities, our skin colors, creed, religion etc to care what happens to all, and not just for that which PINCHES and BITES locally. Even from your own threads, it is clear you are only concerned with your ego and not necessarily the very well being of the Ibo populace, so give it a rest already.

You still have the effrontery to refer to the people of the SE as 'Ibos', yet you claim you have nothing against them?

Is that not solid proof to substantiate the allegation against you, knowing that(and after being corrected severally) majority of them find that term offensive?

Kobojunkie:
How exactly is referring to you and your mini-Gang on Nairaland, a gang that PRETENDS to speak on behalf of all ibos, a slip?  Seriously, why are you avoiding the question?

Again, please provide any of my posts that actually attacks the S-Easterners and not just your claims of the SE? I want to see you produce this one to show you have actually been following any of my actual posts and not your delusions born out of your hate and conceit towards others.

Then again I ask you, are the other posters on the forum not from a zone? Have you accused them of trying to represent their zones? Or is it only the SE that has folks trying to represent it?

Gosh! SMH @ how loosely you use the word 'hatred'.

PhysicsMHD:
Do you have data on the Nigerian states for GDP alone? How can you make these claims for GDP vs. GDP (PPP) if you don't?

The GDP (PPP) data was obtained from here: https://www.cgidd.com/ and there is no evidence that the people who obtained that data did so in order to further a Yoruba superiority conspiracy.

If it's so important to you to find out, go to that website (https://www.cgidd.com/) pick all the states under Nigeria, pay the required fee (not an insignificant amount, unfortunately), and post the results.

It's not important enough to me, however, to waste my money on something that won't affect me. But until you do post the data for GDP alone, it makes no sense to just assert that the data for GDP alone would show a different trend.

It doesn't matter which of the GDP you use, it will still give you the same results. Just put into consideration the population giving out the output, and get your average.

^^^
How does it make you feel using that word 'you folks'. Is your generalization refering to one poster, some posters or a group of posters?
What is exactly your position? Do you have something against the group of 'you folks' you want to let out?
