waste of resources for a man coming from the poorest region in Nigeria. |
See the hypocrisy of Yorubas. Your people are already crying that Buhari is neglecting them after supporting him. Now u are turning it to south east. Pathetic hypocrites. It is your people that are feeling pain more because the man u massively supported has neglected u people. Its even a shame on u people. Igbos didnt support Buhari so they cant feel the pain more than u people. U know this very well but hypocrisy wont allow u to agree. |
Gravanno:Did you read the reference you posted or you allowed your foolishness to blind your eyes? What is the statement there that supports your claim? That Peter Obi said he was not happy? Which sane person will be happy when a loved one is sick. May be thats what you folks do. Rejoice over a sick person.. |
c33b33:Not in all cases and not in this case that am talking about. I am close ti them so i know. |
This was said in 2014. This is 2015.. Wey the Arewa youths and their threat na? arewafederation: |
Gravanno:Yoruba and hypocrisy. When Fashola was there he was your hero. Now that he is out he is a fool. When Ambode will be out you ll still call him a fool. What a tribe filled with hypocrites. |
Gravanno:And Nigeria buried Ojukwu as a hero and statesman. How did Nigeria as a country treat AWo's death and burial? |
Gravanno:Oh good. So we were the ones that really made Ambode to win? Truth is coming out now. Even your Oba knew that without our support Ambode will lose. We will continue to be important. The testimony continues. And now that your Ambode has won, how market between him and Fashola? Dem dey do cat and rat chase. |
Gravanno:No need because we are already holding Lagos. We are not losing anything. Our businesses are flowing well there. Our lands and houses are intact. We contested election there and won. it is you losers that should protest and thats what you are doing so ride on in the land you stole. |
** Igbos In Lagos State: My Experience, By Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe Lagos State belongs as much to the ethnic Igbo as to the Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa, Fulani, Efik, Idoma, Urhobo, Itshekiri, Edo, and so on who live in it, pay tax, identify with it, and settle in it. That compact was made the moment Nigeria became a single nation, and a successor power to the old principalities who were subdued and who ceded their sovereignty for the new commonwealth of Nigeria . It was pragmatic. The Igbo had the skill and the industry, and Lagos was the seat of the Federal Government of Nigeria and its major port. The Igbo have lived in Lagos since the 15th century when the Aro and other Igbo first settledin good number in a place we nowcall “Oyingbo” in the era of Benin and the Portuguese trade. The arrival of Dr. Namdi Azikiwe to Lagos in 1937 from Accra after his studies in the United States, stimulated the political and cultural environment of Lagos as no other has before or after him. Zik literally resurrected the wizard of Kirsten hall from political death. Zik represented Lagos in the western house. The NCNC was the power in Lagos , and not the Action Group. The Igbo were prominent in the governance of Lagos in the Lagos City Hall. The institutional development of Lagos – the railways, the ports andship yards; the education and research facilities; the Banking and Commodities Exchange, the development of towns like Yaba, Surulere, Ebutta-Metta, Festac Town, Victoria Island, and now increasing the Ajah-Lekki axis, and of course, the ghettoes along the Orile-Badagry axis, have profound Igbo imprimatur. The circulation of the image of Lagos is to date best reflected in the cosmopolitan Igbo imagination of one of the greatest African writers of the 20th century, Cyprian Ekwensi, a thorough Lagosian if there was any. Igbo have built industries in Lagos and have been drivers of commerce and exchange. Interestingly, I was born at plot number 8, Okoya Street , Idumagbo- Lagos, while the Ojukwu families were residing at number one to three on the same street. I grew up to know the father of Odumegwu Ojukwu. Chimbizie and Azuka grew up withus on the same street. Even the Chibeze small parking space at the end of Okoya Street is called Ojukwu. I later attended St. Patrick Primary School , Idumagbo, where I had very amiable classmates of Igbo origin in the persons of Azubike Ezenwa and Damian, Ihekuna, both now professors and doctors of today. They were brilliant, resourceful and friendly. When we were playing bamboo and Tene Felele at Orikoriko at Onola playing ground, the Igbo participated actively. In the area of sports, school football and athletes, Igbo were dominant at Kings College, St. Gregory school, St. Finbars, Akoka, Igbobi College and Ahmadiyya College, Agege. Such boys, Njokwu, George Amu, Stephen Keshi, Henry Nwosu, Patrick Noquapor, Peter Anieke and Sammy Opone were dominant on the field of football, while Asiodu, Empire Kanu were prominent on the field of athletics. Anytime we went to watch football match at Onikan stadium, my darling team, Stationery Stores and our adversary team I hated most was the E. C. N, where the centre forward, Paul Hamilton, the National Team, Fabian the captain who bit the dust. Our greatest captain was Duru, Oduah Onyenrekwa, Onyeador Onyeali and Opel, the greatest outside right Nigeria ever had, Cyril Azuluka. So, during my early life at primary school, the Igbo were always there and delightful to watch, both in athletes and on the football field. When I listened to radio at that time, both the commentary and drama series, the Igbo were there for you. The likes of Chris Ndaguba, Ernest Okwonkwo, Ralph Okpara ‘Alawo Sekiseki the traveler’. The episode will end with – The script was written by Ralph Okpara and edited by Yemi Lijadu. Anytime I visited where I was born today in Idumagbo at Lagos Island, the entire place is covered by Igbo traders in their thousands. They were never troublesome but decent and accommodating. They have virtually taken over all properties of the indigenes. They succeeded in developing all our properties, married to most of our children even from the royal families. There is no single house you will visit without an Igbo man selling wares there. So, who is saying something else? Only the strangers in our midst will not notice participation of economic development in our state by the Igbos. Most houses and shops in Lagos Island have been purchased, developed and occupied by the Igbos. The value of their investments in Lagos Island alone is in trillions of naira. Instead of deporting the Igbos, whose contributions to the development of Lagos state are immensurable, you must keep on praising and encouraging them to keep on developing Lagos State. •Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe is a former Nigerian minister for Works and Housing. http://premiumtimesng.com/opinion/143249-igbos-in-lagos-state-my-experience-by-senator-adeseye-ogunlewe.html (Modify) (Quote) (R |
Gravanno:See your shameless brothers laying claim to a land that they stole from Bini people. What a criminal act. Tufiakwa. |
Gravanno:And the hypocrite starts wailing as usual. I gave you a simple assignment. Stop wailing and answer them here or bury your face in shame. |
chuna1985: You don hit am. We will continue to hit these Yoruba hypocrites with the truth. |
Gravanno:See person wey live for PH. Stop being a mumu. Ikwere boys are doing what? Yet our brothers in Ikoku and the rest of the markets are making money there and buying up Ikwere land, riding good cars, building houses in their villages and giving their children good education. 6f what use is the money they are collecting from Igbos if they cannot use it to do any meaninful thing? Mention 20 Ikwere sons and daughters who have made achievements that has national or international impact and i will give you 50 Igbos for every twenty you mention. And let me tell you that Igbo culture is against burying our people outside Igbo land like you Yorubas that throw your dead bodies inside ground anywhere and anytime. We bury our people in our villages. Thats our tradition. Thats why cemetary business cannot thrive in Igbo land as its doing in Yoruba land. |
Gravanno:Stop your foolishness and come to PH and see how we have recovered the abandoned property and over-doubled it. Just come and stop dwelling in your ignorance. |
GentleToks:See ignorance. We have bought more than double of what the Rivers people took from us. Its on record that today it has gotten to a point where some of their villages bury their parents and relations in their parlour and rooms because they no more have lands to bury them. Come to PH and you ll see that a lot of the houses and business premises are owned by the Igbos. The spare parts market (Ikoku) is Igbo. The electronic market is igbo. The computer market (ogbunabali) is Igbo. Just go and verify for yourself before you talk nonsense. |
StOla:Because its only us that understands your hypocrisy and deceit. When we see it and point it out you scream hate. We are the only tribe that tells you the truth about you without fear. |
ibotic:Shameless yoruba living his life of deceit as usual. You ve finallly gotten the correct spelling of Chukwu. When you started your shameless act you spelt it as shukwu. |
omoelesa:People of other countries are in Nigeria doing business. Nigerians (including Igbos) are in other countries doing business(inclluding Yoruba people). Demanding for our own country does not translate to dumping our hard earned achievements in your land for you lazy folks. Be reasonable. Dont be a mumu. |
kehinde1588:Noise maker. Just tell us the yoruba name of Lagos. Hijacking a Bini settlement and calling it a yoruba land over the years is a criminal act. REPENT!!! |
okhiai1:Which shit? That Lagos is a settlement of the Bini kingdom is shit? Na noise u dey make biko. Let me tell you that if Edo people were problematic like Yorubas we would ve giving it to you people fire for fire so stop bragging. I suggest you close your mouth while we deal with the hypocrites whose power is only in noise making. If you want to show power then start by reclaiming Lagos which yorubas have hijacked from you people in their claims. |
Rilwayne001:Stop being a mumu. Which land are you talking about? Did you dash Igbos your land? No. You sold your land to them to save yourself from poverty and here you are still wailing and weeping. You cant eat your cake and have it you greedy fellow. You need to educate yourself more on the content of the land use act. Now take a look at the bold statement you made, simply proves that you didnt want Igbos to go before but NOW you support their going. Which means you ve been weeping and wailing over their going but having seen that you cant stop them, you have now surrendered. |
Kyase:you dont have oil? That means you are from the Northern minority. The slaves of the Hausa/Fulani. |
ibadantiti:Many Igbos are joining nairaland because of Biafra. Some of us who lost interest coming to nairaland have started picking interest again because of Biafra. Feel free to leave. |
These Yorubas and their reasoning sef. A responsible commissioner and his team comes on a one day visiit to spy you so as to make sure u are not ahead of them and your brain tells you that you are roo much? Haba The situation here is quite different from that of Fayose who sent your jobless youths to Aba to learn trade. Some of them might not be able to grab the trade they went to learn at the end of the day. Dont console yourselves o. |

xtrorse:Well said. |
Kyase:The igbos are already agitating for their country so dont worry yourself about your wishes of putting Yoruba and Igbo in one country. Yorubas are too tribalistic, hypocritical and cowardly so we dont need them. Igbos and Hausas are not as them thats why you see these two tribes in every state of Nigeria. Yorubas dont move out to other states like them because they are tribalistic. . |
Hypocritical Yoruba and their Hausa slave master are still wailing. |
ibotic:Hahahahaha.., u don already expose yourself. This Yoruba people sef....hypocrisy runs in your system no be small. |
ibotic:Yorubas doing what they know best. Hypocrites. |
