I am an EGBA man. My parents warned me not to an IJEBU lady.

I did just that, met and married an Ijebu lady. Told my dad to get lost.

Over the 10 year I saw everything my parents warned me against. I broke the marriage and moved on.

I am married to an OSUN woman now. Though she has this clingy mama that I would rather throw into the lagoon.

But sha everybody is happy now. If it doesn't work out, you have other options till you die.

idumuose: I laugh at some ignorant people who are waiting to claim the companies of Atiku and Dangote and the houses of ndigbo in the south west and north should Nigeria breakup.
I have bad news for you - quit waiting and go and get something doing.‎​​ !

Igbo Kwenu

How ma-kate?

He who owns the land, I am afraid, owns everything standing on it. If you establish your businesses out of your natural territory you run the risk of these kind of losses. Ask anyone who invests in the west (ever heard of sanctions, asset freeze etc)

Cause kata kata for SW and see everything go up in smoke.

kernel504: If you can't beat a people, you simply rant. China is feared and respected because of their enterpricing achievements... So the Igbos.

Fear China? Of course if you are an industrial state and have to compete toe to toe with China's low cost industrial output.

Yorubas are Igbo trader's customers, imagine if the Yorubas close ranks and decide not to buy one jot from a single Igbo man in Yoruba land, what do you think will happen?

Customers dont fear traders.

cjrane: [size=15pt]The scientific definition of a Parasite![/size]
A parasite is an organism that lives in another organism, called the host, and often harms it. It is dependent on its host for survival - it has to be in the host to live, grow and multiply. A parasite cannot live independently. Although a parasite rarely kills the host, in some cases it can happen. The parasite benefits at the expense of the host - the parasite uses the host to gain strength, and the host loses some strength as a result.
- Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014.
Even though the statement above was made in reference to parasitic diseases and organisms, it sounded as though it was referring to northern Nigeria's relationship with the rest of the country. So how else can northern Nigeria truly define their relationship with the rest of the country than just sucking others dry under the false pretenses that we are all one?

The trouble is the same is now playing out in Yoruba Land.

Because of our mumu kindness and carelessness, not-to-be-seen-to-be-mean,carefree and inadvertent accommodation and unwarranted sharing attitude, we have brought in our adversary into our mainland.

Like it or not the Yorubas now have to prepare for war (and it wont be a fight with the Jihadists up north - Shame on our parent's generation)

Where planes land? abi where ships berth.

Ilu Ibo?

Douglasdale: The Igbos do not produce anything abi....
But they are busy buying up your lands
They are busy feeding your people and paying taxes to your govt.
They are building industries and conglomerates.
They are gurus in their fields and captains of industries.
They are not PARASITIES and they don't wait for handouts from govt before developing their societies.
They single handedly fought you lots including your foreign masters.
Guy try get sense small. And stop disgracing your people.

Keep deceiving yourself. The simple question was what do the Igbos produce?

Why are the Igbos all over the place and their land cannot sustain them? Why is everyone running away from Igbo land.

Everywhere you go the love peddlers are Igbos, that is the first sign of deprevation and societal collapse - when vast number of women from a particular location are engaed in body selling.

Igbo dreamers everywhere. PM for UK? ~Its time to give whatever you are smoking a rest!

The seaport and airport dey London .....eh ...eh Lagos

Akwa Ibom na Igbo state? Run commot!

Bloodshed is in the horizon.

The sooner this matter is settled the better. At least Yorubas will come to their senses (idiots selling land and welcoming all manner of people, not being aggressive and assertive enough) and perhaps shed that ingraned and cultural cowardise that has taken us over.

War would do for us the wonders it did to the Igbos. Civil war turned them into this aggressive, hardworking, money making, economic-smart and assetive people that they have become.

So no shaking.

What about those who cant stay in their territory? Whos land cannot provide for them and are unwanted refugees forming Nigerian more than other tribes.

They are far more parasitic and the Parasites in Nigeria has been revealed to be the IGBOs.

They actually dont produce anything, buying and selling of substandard imports is not development or high commerce.

Oil is not Igbo in origin. The Igbos dont produce anything - please educate me if i am wrong and I have not insulted anybody.

I am a Yoruba Guy to the core and a strong E-Warrior at that.

But this broke my heart to say the least. Flooded international airport (Stella Odua! Onyosi!!! Ara ra pogi)

We should all enjoy this.

This trend is good to show up our BAD, Hopeless leadership and hopeless followership.

;DTHESE E-WARS ARE FANTASTIC!!!!!

BLESSING IN DISGUISE

SEUN!!!!! SEUN!!!! dont ever think of stopping these ewars o!

WHATEVER YOU SAY JONAH

MAYBE TO BAYELSA

Mr Goody 2 shoes.

We are not country lai lai. The oil is what is binding us together (false security) and the fear of the unknown.

I am a Yoruba man and that is where it should stop. Nigeria should have remained a confederation of the regional states until that Igbo coup and Decree 33 by that Igbo man changed everything.

Igbo's quest for deputy governor pf Lagos is sinister and is meant only to make them feel better (like have one up on Yorubas, simple)

I am a Yoruba man and I will fight to the last blood to protect my interest and ancestral land.

We are not one country.

All the problems wey dey our land GOD never sabi as he go commot am

And people still dey offer prayers? Keep doing the same thing and getting the same results.

Scientists where are thou!

Omu Igbo wetin be your own for Lagos?

10 10 Naira for Oshodi. Na today? No be igbo girl, abeg

BuddahMonk: You people dont understand how igbo live and go about their development, igbos dont cramp like shrimps in one cesshole while other places rot away.
Its only in igboland that you dont have citystates like those of North and West.
Kano and Ibadan are big because everybody cramped themselves in one place, no breathing space, no room to swing a cat, no serenity, no urban renewal, no building regulation, yet their rural areas are rot away.
Ok check this Eastern States settings and development.
In Anambra we have Onitsha, Nnewi, Awka as big cities, outside them places like Ekwulobia, Ihiala are still developing at their own pace.
Bring all these places together and see how usless your will kano be.
Go to Imo, we have Owerri, Orlu, Okigwe developing at their pace, with other rural areas like Oguta and Mgbidi being semi urban areas...bring all these cities together and see them dwarfting Kano.
In Abia, we have Aba, Umuahia and Igbere developing at their pace, with middleclass and rich people living together, bring them together and see a mega city.
The same to Enugu State with Enugu City and Nsukka to develop,
Ebonyi with Abakiliki and Afikpo to develop.
In Anioma they have Asaba, Agbor and Kwale developing.
Go to every Igbotowns or villages you must a bank branch there.
I was in my villa Okija in Dec and saw one big mkt they built there, i was told last month that Diamond Bank and Fidelity is now operating in my villa.
When i was there i saw trailers offloading building materials while a guesthouse and some filling stations are opening up.
My town have a University, now one guy Obijackson have opened a worldclass hospital at Okija, his construction coy have its yard along the Onitsha Owerri Expressway before the Orasi River, opposite the yard is where FG will site a power generating plant, we are not cramping ourselves In Onitsha, Nnewi or Awka that are developing at their pace.
-This is even development
Kano and Ibadam have been developing since Pope was still an AltarBoy yet they are still looking like buried ancient ruins.
All their universities, churches, mosques, industries, banks etc are clamped in one place, why cant it develop abeg....their wealths are not evenly distributed likewise their development unlike in Igboland where we are republican and everybody develop at his own pace.
Abeg stop the overated Kano abeg, imagine where criminal Abacha that looted Nigeria money came from.
Use google map and see how urbanized SE is not a Kano of bungalows and thatched houses.

Yeah Yeah Yeah but you no fit live dia - Igbo chest beater!!! Arrant monkey!!!

Common Igbo cheap talk.

Point us to his properties "all over Lagos"

Every jonny just come igbo claims to have "properties all over Lagos"

Where? Point them out - Oloriburuku omo eran.

Don’t you think that the issue of in­digenisation should be first enshrined in our constitution before making such demand?

Indigenisation is one of the important is­sues addressed at the just concluded National conference. However, that won’t stop us from making genuine demands such as the one at hand. Indigenization is welcomed by all Nigerians. What it means is that a Yoruba man can be governor of Anambra State; an Hausa can contest and win a senatorial seat in Ondo State. And until we get to this stage, we are not yet a nation. Once again, I beg my broth­ers in Lagos State to allow Igbo participate fully in the 2015 political process in the state by zoning the position of deputy governor to Igbo[b]

The stupid Yanmirin dey BEG him brother for Lagos to give IGBO a chance

[i][/i]POLITICS
Ahead of next year’s general elections, there are those who believe that time is ripe for the Igbo to produce at least the Deputy Governor of Lagos State.

One of such people is a chief­tain of Igbo United Initiative (IUI), a pressure group and Chairman, Win Peace Investment Ltd, Chief Amobi Nnadiekwe. He said that people from the South-East zone in Lagos will vote for any political party that fields an Igbo as deputy governor. In this interview, he speaks on various issues and claims that the Igbo constitute 43 per cent of the population in Lagos. Excerpts:
