these are not necessary. I didnt mention Obi name, please this is not a political post to attack Igbos.

This is a post to call for coexistence

payaseriy:
First and foremost. I am from the Niger Delta and the Igbos are the closest relatives we have but the truth must be said without bias or favouritism.

Growing up, i never truly understood why people in Warri(Agbarho) would say "no one should sell land to Igbo man'. It was not hate, but something the Urhobo observed about the nature of the Igbo men wanting to snatch their lands and impose dominance.

My people don't really like the Igbos. I didnt know why at first until i was a victim of an Igbo man. We had a striving business until an Igbo man came close and opened a shop next to ours. Within few weeks, he would stand close to the road and whenever someone wanted to enter our shop, he would call them and lure them over. It was a very annoying character, some of these people would later inform us that the igbo man was saying our products are substandard and that our price are way too higher.

I didn't stay enough to tolerate the nonsense because i later stopped going to the shop and left the business to my younger brother. Months later, i went to the shop and was surprised how the Igbo man would draw people away and even have the audacity to come to our shop to collect goods for them.

My stupid brother allowed this to happened. It was a very difficult times for our business. His desperation to make money would drive him to even kill a man.

They actually did something that led to the death of my father, that's a story for another time.

I had a girlfriend at home before i gained admission into the university. Then one holiday, my girlfriend told me that same igbo man came to her and told her i wont marry her and that am promiscuous and was only using her, and so much more. The igbo man was troubling the little girl and because of her incessant complain of what the Igbo man was saying to her, i decided to stay off. I left the girl.

Barely six months later, she was pregnant and abadoned. How time flies!

Still i never hated an entire tribe because of the evil of some of the people. I can say more than hundred of evil that igbo men had done to me and my family in Warri. One of such time, an igbo woman poisoned our dog, yes, we know she did it because she was our tenant and when the dog was vomiting, it was same thing she had on her. Plus, she had often threatened to kill the dog for invading her rented space.

It was very painful because that dog was our first dog and my elder brother bought me that dog the day i was born. I was about 10 when the dog died. Same years as the dog, i cried and for the first time in my life, i saw tears on my Dad's face.

Alot happened since then bt let save them for later...

Many years later, i went to lagos to stay with a friend. And one of those days, my car got broken and i decided to take public transport.

I got into one and while the car was still in transit, a man(presumably a yoruba man), did something that got a lady pissed off in the cab. I interfered and told the man his wrong and the next thing he said to me was "These Igbo boys, we go deal with all of ona..." i could read the hate on his expression. But i was no Igbo boy, as a matter of fact, i am an Urhobo boy, a tribe so complex that wont even sell a piece of land to Igbo or yoruba man.



So many tribes Hate Igbo and i don't imagine why. They are full of themselves and think the entire country revolves around them, they forget they are just one out of 250 ethnic group in Nigeria.

The yoruba man feels threatened by the existence of the Igbo man. I don't blame them. Even i feel repugnant at the character of many of them, mostly my current Neighbor that defames me at all opportunity.

But we must learn to co exist. The bad eggs are many but that doesnt mean we should throw away the entire basket. The Igbo man has wronged me even more than many people attacking them, bt i can't hate an entire ethnic group because 100s of them stepped on my toes.

Fighing and hating on Nairaland is not the right way to express yourself. Like the Bible says" doing the right thing, is what makes a nation great".

Don't be a tribalist ( almost like Racist), let learn to tolerate and coexist, but don't sell your land to them o... Lol.

Anyways, please lets coexist

Have you ever bothered to find out why they call you people urhobo wayo?

You urhobos are like black sheep in the entire SS.
Bunch of lazy men who only know how to drink ogogoro and get drunk while your women do all the work....we are very sure you will embrace and kiss the Fulanis killing people upandan..better go and get ready to cut off ya foreskin

helinues:
Churches are being build almost daily in Nigeria yet the rate of crime is increasing.

We have had several religious bodies for years, yet the politicians are not acting different.

When are we going to question the community that keeps on producing those set of people?

Tellmeastory:
SELF HATER.

ADMIT YOUR REAL PROBLEM: YOU FEEL INFERIOR TO SO-CALLED WHITE PEOPLE.

OKAY?

IT’S NO BIG DEAL.

YOU NEED THERAPY.

It's an open market

No one is frustrating anyone .

Air peace should have made proper consultation with other airlines before splashing the average airline ticket to UK.

Win win for the travellers as the airlines would drag themselves to the extent of free falling the price .

Modified: As usual, tribal coloration must be added to my comments. Air peace is our own, we all want it's success but they can't be doing things in a wrong way without calling them out.

First Air peace trip from Nigeria to UK, they had issue in both Nigeria and UK, can everybody be wrong? Perhaps, Air peace should have a proper consultant teams that would help them to put things in order before taking any steps..

When glo slashed the prices of GSM in 2003- 2004 when MTN and Econet were reaping Nigerians off Nigerians with line as much as 35000 Naira

Glo slashed there Sim to 2000 Naira

Every Nigerian benefitted

Even MTN had no option to slash there own or loose there market share



Someone saying that Air Peace should consult others must be smoking pipe


Ain't done anywhere in business world

Have they blamed Tinubu for this?

Juliusganduje:
Can't you decode? The elder brother is here already. Just look above you.

CelineOlabode:
Good day house. Happy Sunday to all. I trust we are all good.
The reason for this post is because of my elder brother. He wants to end up useless for life. He is going to be 50 years by July this year. This man doesn't want to help himself. He is not working. He depends on our aged parents for feeding even as he still leaves in our parents house. All of my other siblings are married with children. I am married with children too. I and family stays in another state. Everyone including our pastor has advised him to get a job but he is very lazy to work. All he does is chatting on social media every day especially nairaland. He is a popular member of this forum but I don't want to mention his moniker to avoid embarrassing him here. My husband recently got him a job at a construction company but he has refused to work.
Pls I need your sincere advice on how to make him change for good, because I don't want him to end up useless for life.

Doyin2:
You are a real mumu.[code][/code]

Jesus can never be an Israeli.

I think the 1945 European deceit of creating and naming a country called Israel,is really working on very gullible people like you.

Israelites are not Israelis.

The Kingdom of Israel ruled by David is not the same as today’s Israel which was created in 1945.

Are you people so daft or what

Is the fact that Bethlehem the birthplace of Jesus ,is in Palestine,not enough reason to know that the present day Israel is a fraudulently created and christened state?

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender is against Christian doctrine so the USA should not be on the list.

Free2Fly:
Oh, i'm dealing with a yoruba muslim!
No wonder.
People who can do anything to defend Palestinian terrorists in far away middle east, but passionately hate their fellow Nigerians in the southeast and southsouth and frequently call for their extermination!
What a group of people!
By your nature, i can never change you. No need arguing with you.

Paraman:
You're fully in support of what the Israeli military is doing in Gaza, but you're against the Nigerian army carrying out a through operation in okuama

You're a shameless hypocrite and also a shameless ethnic bigot.

Tranquillity360:
lolz your Nigeria soldiers can't do anything to the community

Paraman:
show evidence I support a massacre

Hypocrites like you are funny. Me wanting justice for the soldiers that were killed is why Nigeria is disunited? Hypocrites like you make me laugh abeg

I can bet my money you're an Igbo man and also an obidient.
