SPOT ON & TIMELY

owobokiri:
Akiolu has always been a talkative. With the benefit of hindsight, APC may gain from this but I doubt if the loquacious Oba was acting a script. He just didn't like the Eze igbo titles around him and may have been pissed too with the federal house results in igbo dominated areas. So he went off.ungaurded in the defence of his candidate. You guys from Yorubaland find it difficult to criticise the throne or even wayward elders. That is a cultural flaw you must find a way to deall with someday. Otherwise it takes no rocket science to feel Akiolus ill manners. Even before this outburst, if you have followed him closely, you would have always sensed that his mouth will get him in hot waters someday.

Oba is worried about the Eze title? The Oba granted those titles in his domain. Why do you think the Ezes we're laughing and clapping like minus. The Oba can withdraw the title at any time, learn.

emorse:
I don't agree with you bro. Ownership of what land are we talking about? Are you aware that almost every tribe in this country has at least a small community in each state of this country? If everyone has to go back to his own "state of origin", it would amount to a useless reshuffle. The population would remain almost the same and the country would be as disunited as can be. Your kinsmen that have settled productively elsewhere would have to go back "home" and start rebuilding.

On the other hand, abolishing the state of origin would ensure that every Nigerian has equal opportunities irrespective of where he is from. The Yoruba man can bid for a contract in the Niger delta and be considered fairly. The Hausa man can live peacefully in Aba and contribute in his own little way to the development of his "state of residence" knowing fully well that there is an Ijaw man somewhere in the north doing the same. In the long run, children would be born with emotional attachments only to Nigeria as a country instead of any state or region. Names would not even matter anymore because inter tribal marriages - which I presume would be more common by then - would have united everyone by blood. Tribal conflicts would be dead and gone.

PS- All these would not happen in just one year or even a couple of years. Generations may pass. But it would be a long standing legacy for generations to come.

Igbo agenda dead on arrival. The only solution is for Igbos to develop their land.

[size=20pt]FAKE!!! [/size]

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] Why won't they laugh and pretend?? Who dey home?...Is it not the foolish man who who shows his cards too early? Abi you want the Oba to bundle all of them straight to the lagoon from his palace? Shey, you give them life jackets ni? [/color]

ICHIDODO my good Igbo friend. I love Igbos people die.

Nwokem, abeg that your address and phone number in Lagos please, thanks.

[size=15pt]THIS BATTE WILL NOT BE SETTLED WITHOUT BLOODSHED!

I HOPE MY BROTHERS ARE READY.

WE SHOULD ALL (YORUBA MEN) COMMIT SUICIDE IF WE LET THESE ANIMALS COME TO OUR LAND AND TAKE IT OVER.

THIS IS REALLY GETTING OUT OF HAND[/size]

Frankenstein:
Can someone post a pie-chart or a histogram illustrating Lagos population according to ethnic groups.



No matter the extent of the perceived provocation from some Igbo people in Lagos, no single individual will be thrown in the lagoon. Yoruba APC politicians can not afford to have their economic powerhouse become the ground zero of a major Nigerian tribal crisis.

Such a situation will also be catastrophic for the president-elect, his sponsors, party and supporters because anarchy will rule the country and calls for secession and a military takeover could be unavoidable.

Lagos state is a SW Yoruba state. Any non-indegene is a foreigner and all are subject to the rules and regulations of Yoruba society.

That Lagos is a Yoruba State is not going to change anytime soon.

haywire1:
hahahhahhahahaHaha , looking @ my igbo neighbour head now now, o'boy d head flat ooooo .

Igbo identity but one luv keeps us all together.

Peace

THE MATTER AT HAND IS FAR MORE SERIOUS THAN THE SHAPE OF THEIR FLAT HEADS.

WE MUST BRUTALLY EXOCISE THAT HATRED AND BITTERNESS INSIDE THEM.

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] That is the point we are saying.the only buffer to their hate and discrimination is the fear of the igbos,the fear our pride and once that pride is stung and nothing is done or humble ourselves,it further emboldens them to do more.Btw,whoever gave you that crap about stolen properties?? Til today Ojukwu's family are still fightin Lagos state into reclaiming their father's houses,Did you not read about igbos caught out in Lagos during the war who were summarily executed as alleged spies?? Forget the 20£ insult for another topic.....We are saying a stand off brings in mutual respect from otherwise two hostile parties and any form of weakness (like you are blatantly displaying) exhibited by one party is ruthlessly exploited by the other.Read your history.US/North Korea....Nazi Germany/British Empire,US/Japanese Empire......Rome/Carthage etc [/color]

Please ask this guy what his father's/family/himself stake is in Lagos.

Has he got land, properties, businesses, livelihood etc in Lagos. If you do you will never make such comments as you are known for.

I grew up in Ladipo and believe me I grew up with the Ibos (as we call them) but my love for them changed during the No man's land furore.

Yesterday though, I was for the first time ready to die over this issue after seeing those insults on Alayeluwa the almighty Kabiyesi of Lagos.

I would happily put that Agbaje boy where he would breath no more and I will pay the price. I have never been as angry as I was yesterday.

Igbos please exercise caution, the Oba has spoken!

ceejay80s:
By the time pdp will win lagos, u will see how agbaje will unseat him as oba of lagos, incase u don't know, a governor has every right to remove any oba from seat. Una eye go clear

Igbo Boy, if you know agbaje's house go and ask him. In Yoruba land a governor would never dare to dethrone a king, even small local kings not to talk of the almighty Oba of Lagos himself. Agbaje will be in his grave the same day.

luvinhubby:
You don't have sense at all......there is something called IP address & with that you can easily be tracked down and arrested by the security agencies for threat to life, just pray nothing happens to Jimi life or else you are a propable murder suspect......kid!

F#ck off I know about IP address. Agbaje is a goner

eCollynzo:
Abayomi, If you know the hardwork, suffering and risks involved in oil exploration jobs done mostly by Niger delta youths, you wouldn't open your mouth to spew this rubbish. Farming is mere fun when compared to seismic data acquistion jobs where people crawl is swamps, mud flats and other wicked conditions with heavy equipment straffed to their backs.
Do you think oil flows in rivers?

[quote author=eCollynzo post=32304601]Mr Man

Right now you are on Nigeria's soil and within our national territory. As far as I and the vast majority of Nigerians are concerned the oil deposit on land and within the continental shell belongs to Nigeria. Go and realise your threAt and watch you and your family live on refugee camp for the next century. Don't forget we have a purposeful government backed by the people assuming power in about 6 weeks time.

Sai Buhari Sai Ambode

eCollynzo:
Hmm see lies!
When you were producing cocoa, some parts of the Niger delta were also producing cocoa, other parts produced palm oil and rubber, so at no time did anybody depend on your cocoa.
What was in practice then was regionalism, every region took care of itself.
Stop the revisionism.

So when did the lazy and indolent Niger Deltans got off their arse and started "producing" oil to feed the rest of the Nigerian population. Oil was simply found in their part of the Nigerian territory.

Seconded with all my heart 100%.

Igbo must produce our next president. That campaign must start now. People like Owelle should not go to waste.

Sai Owelle (when Buhari finishes his term)

[size=15pt]BEHOLD!!!

The next Igbo president of Nigeria.

Nobody but this man has the midas touch to lead Igbos to the presidency. This man's approval rating and acceptance has just sky rocketted across Nigeria. See sai Buhari is on his way to Imo State. [/size]

Wow! this presidential election has crippled our brothers from the East.

Where are they? Why are they allowing this thread to go without jumping in?

Ah! pity you not!

GoodGovernance:
You cannot compare sleep with death


AMBODE has the will,the experience and capacity to move Lagos forward.

AGBAJE has the will,no experience and no capacity.


Moreover,Lagos needs CHANGE,from being an opposition lead state,to now, a state lead by the federal ruling party(APC)!!!!!

Wow! kudos to you for this brief but catch all analysis.

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] You can stop blowing hot air in the guise of speaking for 10 million people who have been extorted to the very inch of their lives by thieffnubu's mafia.You thought Lagos would go landslide for APC,didnt you?After all the noisemaking, PDP lost by the narrowest of margins of all states lost to APC.Now,there is balance btw the the two yoruba men...Lagosians including Non-indigens and non-yorubas will make their choice. [/color]

Ichidodo, haba! Surely the time to step back and take stock is now - same goes for all omo-Igbos in Lagos. Though this election shows we are integrating despite the vernoms thrown around. Obviously, Lagos wont be Lagos without my dear nwanne people, but the time has come to change tact. The Igbos have voted themselves out of the affairs at the Federal level and it would be a tragedy if you maginalise yourself out of governance in the city you love enough to jettison your heritage and lineage in the east.

Cool down bro, the game is up.

Say "Sai Ambode" its not so difficult.

Keneking:
In order of .....Okupe, PhD, FFK, Abati, PhD
These guys have made money for the rest of their lives under Jonathan, PhD. Probably not interested in working for any government in the future.
I won't be surprised to see them contest seats in parliaments

Why are we masses so stupid in the country? These guys have not "made" money, they have simply "stolen" money from the masses. That is what politicians and their appointees do in Nigeria.

ibedun:
Igbo bitterness will prevail again.

They will vote a sinking ship Agbaje - the damn emotional people dont understand politics.

Agbaje - Truly we dont know!!!!!

Igbo bitterness will prevail again.

They will vote a sinking ship Agbaje - the damn emotional people dont understand politics.

MayorofLagos:
I have made it a duty to kick Ibo into a state of political awakening, whether they like or not.
Yes, thats what I said.....whether they like it or not they will see me on Ibo politics for next 4years.

First, my inlaws distanced from APC because according to them it was Awolowo party....only cow herders (referring to Fulani) and amala and ewedu (referring to Yoruba) people should be members.....it is below Ibo to belong in APC.

They failed to assess risks and calculate forward that in the event of a NW/SW win at the executive, the legislative will be a crucial base from which to protect SE interest.

Now we are looking to distribute power and everyone has a horse standing on the line and ready to carry the weight but guess whose horse is again positioned behind the wagon? Ibo people don fail me again!

When Ibo reps and senators...all PDP and in minority need help from other zones to defeat a bill, na who dem go ally with now? The cow herders or the amala eater?


Ibo suffer head version II is about to start....and its all self inflicted, courtesy of Ohanaeze!

I made this post some years back, little did I know it will come soonest.
https://www.nairaland.com/583750/ibos-advantage-20-30-yrs-time

We probably didnt understand the meaning of Nigeria and we sure did not know Igbo's intentions until now.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I think the days of Igbos trooping over to our land and finding virgin territory, free space, unencombered, undisturbed, free willy doing anyhow etc etc might be over.

Unless of course, Odua is dead and buried BUT I am sure nobody wants to watch as his ancestral land being taken over.

There is a lot of grumbling within the Yorubas already and I suspect that the rumbling might just bubble to the surface now.
