I feel bad about the killing of Hausa in Aba and Oyigbo. Shame on the boys that did this. God will definitely judge them.

As for the blame on Wike, I will say that Wike has been visiting the north in recent past so they should not be quick to conclude that he will not visit them again.

Alcatraz005:
Thanks for being civil in your response. I am sorry if I insulted the igbo in my write up. No strength to hate

Thanks bro. Cheers.

Ipob made some mistakes but they are not terrorists.
They should stop being too stubborn and learn to listen to advice. Nnamdi Kanu can't be on the right track all the time.
Ipob change your style.

Alcatraz005:
Following the killings in Aba, my views about the igbos quickly changed and it was reflected in my posts to the point where my claim of being yoruba was questioned and is still being questioned by my own yoruba brothers. A yoruba proverb says ...oju lalakan fi n'sori. It means that one has to be watchful and observant. It is not like my dislike for the igbos has changed. No, far from it. It has rather transmuted to pity and condescension. I have been following threads on nairaland and i see that the igbos keep laying claim to the land of others to the point of stating that they cannot be chased out of the land of other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria {actually true by virtue of the constitution}.

Naturally seeing those kind of statements are infuriating but i advise that we rather overlook it as it is still preferable to have the igbos around than the Hausa as the former can be contained and pushed out by the Yoruba while the Hausas are very lethal and hard to surmount. Pending when there is a peaceful separation of the country, the christian population in yorubaland still needs the igbos around to act as cannon fodder for any plans for islamisation from the north. I have done enough threads on the foregoing and i am satisfied that my point was successfully passed.

Meanwhile, on the annoying attitude of the igbos, I have come to conclusion that the igbo can never change and would continue to be hated while being the target of all our frustrations because they have a penchant for attracting hatred to themselves wherever they are in the world and are naturally full of unwarranted vain pride. There is nothing that can be done to change them. Furthermore, igbos hate igboland ---they run away from the place and leave it desolate. They have been advised countless times but they refuse to listen. They have used their trade as a veritable excuse to flee the land to the detriment of alaigbo and the igbo race. Most Nigerians have shouted themselves hoarse on the need for igbos to develop their land all to no avail. This is most unfortunate for a majority ethnic group. I am sincerely crestfallen about the situation and weary of what it portends for them as a people/tribe/race/ethnic nationality.

What is the solution to the igbo menace? The answer is just to ignore them as they are irritants who walk around with a need to be hated and maimed. I used to hate them very much before but I don't any longer,. I now pity them and don't ascribe any importance to them. Hence, i would advice other Nigerians to tone down the hate for the igbos as they would continue to annoy their hosts wherever they are. It is part and parcel of their make up as people. Hating them for who they are would cause more heart pain and hypertension for other Nigerians{It is stressful fathoming their taciturnity}. Nigerians{especially my yoruba tribe} are advised to transcribe that dislike for them to pity and aloofness/indifference when it comes to their issues. The beauty of the igbo debacle is that they can easily be whipped in line and contained when their excesses become threatening.

In the meantime, all southerners should be alert on the plans of those who are hell bent on forcing their way of life the rest of us and diluting the secularity of Nigeria.

Remember, ignore the igbos for they are inconsequential/harmless in the scheme of things in Nigeria. Selah.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria as long as it remains.

I agree with your post to some extent.
Yes igbos are stubborn, proud and chest beating. Yoruba have their faults too so no need to pretend about it.

We can't all behave the same way. Even in your family, you will agree with me that all of your sibblings dont behave the same way. One of them might be very stubborn and you will agree me that that one that is stubborn plays some good roles in the family. There are times his /her stubbornness saves the family from trouble.

Hating the igbos don't pay. Hating the Yorubas dont pay too. My problem with Hausa Fulani is their resort to blood shed at the slightest provocation. If they only fight war of words like the Igbo and Yoruba do it would ve been better.

This life is too short to waste on hating people. Anybody who wants to live all his /her life hating people can continue to his own loss..

Have you ever been to Igbo land? You think its one desert from your discription. You are wrong.

slimghost:
You just labelled a whole tribe as pigs and
you are here bleating like a hegoat. Mynd44 should start with you first.
Disgusting filth.

Oga what are you complaining about? Nnamdi Kanu said that Igbos who are not supporting him are pigs and i.diots so what is your problem?

I am Igbo and didnt support him so i am part of the igbos you ipobs called pigs so stop complaining. Till tomorrow i wont belong to Ipob. Leave these guys alone they are just doing what your Kanu taught them.

Eastfield1:
Seun
mynd44
indirect insult on any group or ethnic group should not be condoned here.
referring people as pigs
do something about this.

It was your chief ipob miscreants Nnamdi Kanu that started calling humans pigs because they didnt support him.

You see why some of us Igbos refused to support him? You don't support evil. You ipob touts are so annoying. Where is your Kanu? .

PVision2020:
Wanderers not traders. Emeka that left ebonyi for Lagos with nothing is not a trader but a wanderer looking for greener pasture.
A reasonable person/people will always prepare for home, just like jacob. But you'll find 70% of igbos littering the nooks and
crannies of Nigeria, shouting biafra and calling others unity beggars when indeed they are the real unity beggars.
You should ask yourself
1. Why are igbos endangered specie?
(from Asia to kano to even Abia)
2. Why is the igbo language, identity and culture fast going into extinction?
Most of my igbo friends here in the west speaks fluent yoruba but understand little of igbo.
3. Why do igbos leave their land desolate and deserted only to claim the land of others?
4. Why do the world renown developers fail to develop their land?

Wanderers indeed yet they own shops in Alaba and other parts of Lagos. Making millions and building houses in their villages, training their children in school. Buying lands from Yoruba and building companies and houses. Stop disgracing yourself here abeg.
If you know they are Wanderers then send them out of Lagos. If you can't do it then shame on u.

laudate:
Very good question! I am still waiting for one of them to give me a good answer. They are not only in your Yoruba states, they are everywhere else in Nigeria, even in the most remote places you can think of.



What is epic about his reply? When Fashola deported some of your people the other time, you all started shouting and screaming blue murder, as if Lagos was owing you money. Is there something about your land that chases your people away into other lands? Why can't you folks give the rest of us a coherent answer to this question?

Oga stop disgracing yourself. Fashola did not send igbos out . HE LACKED THE POWER TO DO IT. No governor can do it.
Arewa boys tried it and failed woefully so stop making useless opinion.

Any governor that is serious should go to the media and give Igbo quit notice. They know they can never do it so stop disgracing yourself. Why didnt Fashola chase the igbos in Alaba and other parts of Lagos out? Answer is - HE LACKED THE POWER TO DO IT.

giftq:
stop telling Fashola what to say and how to say it

the guy`s defence is obviously porous. Fashola did not send igbos out. He just wanted to clear Lagos of people who are not essential to the growth of the economy Lagos and this covered people from various parts of Nigeria.
.
If the excercise was about Igbos, Fashola would ve sent all the igbos in Alaba and various parts of Lagos out. And of course he lacks the power to do it. I dont have problem with Fashola. He remains one of the best governors in Nigeria. Ambode is doing so well too. I saw the excercise as a step to make Lagos better and not meant to be an attack on any particular tribe.

Again some of the people brought back to Anambra were not Igbos.

Abokii8:
Dressed as a woman, Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB terrorist group leader, has allegedly escaped Nigeria through our border with Cameroon via Cross Rivers State. This is the "Commander in Chief of the Biafra Armed Forces"

.

And he didnt shave? You guys are not smart enough . Try more

Ipob boys are stubborn, shortsighted and annoying people . Several times i argued with them but they will not listen to you..

They embrace every word from Nnamdi Kanu like mumu and you will just be wondering whether they have Independent reasoning at all. Calling themselves Independent people whereas their reasoning is so dependent on Kanu's reasoning does not do them any good.

As for we igbos and our survival, don't worry yourself we will always survive. Its in our blood to survive no matter the situation.

kuuljay:
If only they had listened, the movement was bigger than KANU,he got drunk of it and pushed it to this point with hate,now the sensible ipobians are trying all their best to salvage the image but seems difficult because they shot themselves in the foot,they even looking for sympathy from those they call animals in the zoo,I was surprised when Chanel's TV called KANU on phone and he addressed zoo police as Nigerian police,and bokoharam soldiers as Nigerian army.

Preaching hate is not the answer,I hope Ipob learn if they come out of it

You are right. The IPOB members are very sturbbon and annoying set of people. They dont listen to advice.

Malawian:
There is something that make Igbos excel, i believe it is God's grace and not really about the level of hussling involved. Take me for instance, I started a cafe just four houses from another cafe owned by a yoruba, he has sinced packed up and moved elsewhere to restart his business, another Igbo opened also another few houses away from mine, we are both thriving and no beef.

I ve always said it that Yorubas are good administrators than igbos. Igbos are good in buying and selling business, skill work and creativity.

The two tribes are blessed so they should stop hating each other and move forward.

Alariwo2:
Left to me, I won't lease or sell land to them.. I so much hate their guts and daft nature.
Infact I have made up my mind never to patronize igbos again, so far I can get my items from fellow Yoruba or Hausa.

Too much familiarity brings contempt.. Yorubas got too familiar with them, that is why they are misbehaving.

Thanks to Kanu and his hate speeches, Yorubas can now see their real nature and feelings towards others.

Very empty chestbeaters full of hate and envy.. If not for Yorubas that spared their tribe, they would have gone extinct with the civil war

See empty barel making noise. Abeg park one side make we here better word.

Yyeske:
Dont be too fast, it was all over radio Biafra that the soldiers were on their way hours before they even arrived, what if he sneaked out or jumped over the fence before they arrived?

Its possible too but since nobody is sure, then the army can equally be held responsible about his whereabout.

drake22:
Yes that is a very dumb move. He has the audience, followers, he messed up big time in openly forming secret service abi wetin again.
He would hv spend more time criticizing the govt in the one sided appointments, infrastructures.
In fact he has many areas he will use as his tools.
And also be diplomatic.
He is busy insulting people up and down.
He has a great chance of becoming a well known freedom fighter. But pride and dumbness may erode him the chance.

I totally agree with you.

omenka:
Come to think about it, without applying too much emotions (which rules out ipob terrorists since raw emotions dictate their thoughts), the government is right you know.

Kanu was due to appear in court on the 17th, he failed to do so. If the rule of law should be applied strictly, his sureties, including the senator, should be in custody right now.

Stop making silly defence. FG sent army to his house where they scattered the house with bullet. The army are the ones that should tell Nigerians where he is Everything is on record so stop playing hypocrisy.

geraldmezi:
Piss fall on Wike

Why? Because he is carrying everybody in the state along or what

Don't worry, by the time you see the massive crowd that will attend the Igbo day here then u will understand that no reasonable politicians will like to miss that opportunity.
Wike is smarter than you. Keep deceiving yourself.

gare:
I believe the first question you should ask is why they don't want them to host it Port Harcourt before you start linking Wike and politics.

You should know that everyone is trying to stay far away from the igobs because of this Biafra agitation, I don't know but you ask or find out why.

Your feelings about igbos doesn't matter. They dont come to your land for any other reason than to make money from opportunities which you that claim its your land cant see and are not making use of.

If you can't give them quit notice to leave your land that means you are not the owner of the land you claim to be yours.

Arewa boys tried it and when they saw that they lacked the powers to send Igbo away they changed. Today they are the ones begging igbos not to go. Igbo have the right to hold their Igbo day in Rivers state. Until the constitution is amended, nobody owns any land in Nigeria.

tobiasbeecher:
You're not even ashamed of yourself that at this 21st century you're still being pegged down by ethnic bigotry! You bigots hate Igbos with passion but will immediately start foaming in the mouth any time they talk about leaving your hate-filled country to form their own country. People like you represent everything that's wrong with Nigeria

That guy is killing himself over Igbos.
They said they own Rivers land yet they have no power over the oil in their land. Is that how to own a land?

They dont have power over how the money from the oil in their land is shared. Is that how to own a land?

The north which has no oil benefits more from the oil money that came from their land than them. Is that how to own a land?

Buhari appointed new Directors for NNPC. Their region that claim to be the owners of the oil land got only two slots, Yoruba got three and the remaining 10 or so went to the north that doesn't have Oil yet they come here to rant that they own Niger Delta land or whatever.

You can imagine how they reason. Land owners indeed.

[quote author=wingmanII post=60637685][/quote]My dear don't mind him . This is how they mess themselves up over Igbo issues.

A part of Ikwerre says they are Igbos, another part of them says they are not. Now he wants us to believe that the ones that says they are not Igbos are superior Ikwerre to the ones that said they are igbos and as such they are right.

You can imagine such a biased conclusion borne out of Hatred for Igbo.

TonyeBarcanista:
See the so-called Ohanaeze VP may be Ikwerre but he is there representing himself as Ikwerre has said they aren't Igbos and they have their own sociocultural group.

Again, Sir, RIVERS state has no representative anywhere, it's just a man representing himself...

Though the Ikwerre/Igbo wahala doesn't concern me but I'm speaking the Ikwerre position of things.

Abeg stop ranting. We are here in ph and we understand the game you guys are playing.

That guy is from Elele. Some parts of Ikwerre agree that they are Igbos while some deny being Igbo. Now you want us to believe that those who deny being Igbo are more superior Ikwerre than those who agree that they are igbos and For that reason, Ikwerre people are not Igbo. . Can you see your life?

The immediate past President of Ohanaeze was an Ikwerre man. They rotate the leadership of Ohanaeze and rotate the hosting venue. It has gone round the south east and moved to Asaba in the south south. Now its coming to PH and you people are making noise even when Igbo has a huge population here. continue crying for nothing.

Alariwo2:
Come to think of it.. over 90% of Igbos living in Yorubaland and even alaigbo speak Yoruba well, but we Yorubas don't even understand Igbo, not even the alphabets

Is it Yoruba language you people want to be speaking in your biafra cos I'm not understanding o.
Wetin una see for Yorubas that's making you stay?

Because we are traders and we understand that communication is important in business. We want to be able to communicate freely with our Customers no matter the level of their illiteracy.

TonyeBarcanista:
[s][/s]
What are you saying bros?

. What i said wasn't meant for fools because they won't understand it
Only the wise will understand it. Sorry.

jargo89:
I blame them too. Cos I dont feel they have the right to derail your thread. You meant well with your post.

Despite that, provocation is never the right choice. Stay blessed bro

Thanks dear. Cheers

Ballmer:
At times I feel like strangling the entire Igbo race to death. Is it Yoruba that moved oil company to the West ? As Yoruba given one single incentive to bring or keep oil companies in Lagos rather they are being taxed heavily which should discourage their relocation to the NigerDelta but when you compare that to kidnapping / other vices in the NigerDelta you'd understand Lagos is a beta alternative.

To let you know every living Igbo dead n alive which might include your father, mother and even grand parent with you line of thought are completely insane why did Jonathan a NigerDelta president not order those companies back to the NigerDelta ? Which Yoruba president or governor ordered oil companies from the NigerDelta to the West ? You can see that that all Igbo with your line of thought/ argument which is about 95% of the entire igbo race are indeed insane.

I agree with you here to some extent. But do u want to live all your life hating igbos? Na you go lose o. Same thing with any Igbo man that wants to live all his life hating Yoruba. Just make your point forget about who to strangle because you cant do it.

jargo89:
FYI, I have no business with what the constitution permits a governor to do within his region. Its the least of my concern. I'm just so chuffed at your attempt to provoke a response which i am sure you will cry about when/if it occurs. Is it the love for being a victim, self hate or hate for your hosts?

These are rhetoric questions, you can keep your answers to yourself.

Be honest to yourself . Go through my original post and you will see that it has no provision for what we are talking about now. It was your brothers that came and diverted the whole discussion. Go blame them.

jargo89:
And after provoking your host to chase you away, I am sure you will shout genocide and pogrom. Try to be sensible abeg!!

Nobody can chase anybody away until the constitution is amended. Don't you see Arewa boys begging them to stay when they realised they lacked the powers to chase them away?
Even igbos can't chase Hausa away from their land despite the fight they had with them last week at Aba. BECAUSE THEY LACK THE POWERS TO DO IT.

Bro this is Nigeria. Wake up o

jargo89:
Cant you people just appreciate anything except provocation. Do you take joy in being suffered, pushed and humiliated? Are you saying you would have prefered a quit notice? When Arewa did that, did you know how much you people played the victim.

And for the issue of having your day in Port-Harcourt; dont you think it is much better respecting the wishes of your host. You have a rich culture and blessed lands. Why not promote your culture in your land. Must it be imposed on others?

I taya ooo

Oga forget about your long talk Fashola did not send Igbos out because HE LACKED THE POWERS TO DO IT.. Stop your baseless defence.

As for the Igbo day in ph, it is just the APC members that are kicking against. Anything that will favour Wike they hate it. They just playing politics and we know it.

Let's keep pushing for constitution amendment so you can have the power to claim land and chase people out of your land. For now, keep quiet. YOU LACK THE POWERS TO DO THAT.

TonyeBarcanista:
Go and host it na...

Oga you are deceiving yourself. That program will surely hold in ph to your shame.
People like you are empty barel.

Tell yourself the truth - Your problem with it is the platform it will provide for Wike''s campaing. Most of you condemning it here in ph are APC members. You people are always wishing Wike evil.

laudate:
When Fashola deported your people that time, and dropped them off at Onitsha headbridge, what did you all do? You started wailing and crying. Abeg swerve commot if you have nothing better to say......

Hypocritical talk. Did Fashola depot all Igbos in Lagos? No. Or are the ones in Alaba and some other parts of Lagos not Igbos?. If he was serious he would ve given igbos quit notice.

Why didnt he give them quit notice? HE LACKED THE POWERS. Stop deceiving yourself. This is Nigeria. You dont own any land abeg. Until u amend the constitution.

deedeedee1:
I am not talking about Lagos sef. There are many of una in other Yoruba states.
What is chasing you from your land?

What stops you from chasing us back? U know the answer - YOU LACK THE POWERS TO DO THAT.

Land owner indeed
