As long as this one Nigeria thing stands, everybody has the right to reside wherever he sees fit as a law abiding citizen, Using your analogy every non lagosian should go to his state and develop it 'cos most Yoruba states outside Lagos are grossly underdeveloped (You can kid yourself all you want, you know it's true)

I ve stayed long at Osun state close to 10 years now, to be sincere, it's only Lagos that is well developed in the South west through federal government money and also being the NATION'S CAPITAL some years ago.

Other South Western states are not developed. Hard truth!

To me whatever figure of humans in Lagos is, I think an estimation of 40-50% non Yorubas live in Lagos.

helinues:
Are you insinuating that their land is not productive hence them migrating to other region to seek a greener pasture?

Bro, if you noticed something about IGBO population in Lagos, a greater percentage of the Igbos in Lagos only came there for business because the sea ports in the East have been abandoned or shut down!

kingzizzy:
Thats the thing about those who criticise Kanu and IPOB which is laughable. Niger Delta militants, Egbesu boys, OPC, Boko Haram and killer herdsmen have all taken up arms at one time or the other, murdered people, destroyed lives and property. Some of them are still killing people to this day.

But someone thinks that the real problem is Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB who only have microphone and their mouth.


Who is that famous author who said that the two largest things in the universe are outer space and the stupidity of men.

What annoys me the most is all these Niger Deltans!
They claimed that Biafran soldiers killed them during the civil war but go to Niger Delta today, the Ijaw militia (equipped with machine guns and arms) are killing our Ikwerre, Etche, Ogba and Elele Igbo brothers. In fact, the fulani Herdsmen killings in Eastern Nigeria are exaggerated; people should look into the Niger Delta militants, they have killed thousands more than fulani Herdsmen



But IPOB agitators who are not armed with guns know nothing but their biafra flag and social media, yet Nigerians tagged them as Terrorists!

What a country!

IGBO.

Niger Delta Militants carried weapons. They killed civilians and soldiers, we all clapped and hailed their bravery.

Egbesu boys threatened, carried guns and killed; we hailed, jubilated and chopped knuckles.

They all received Amnesty and sent to the western world on free education. They also got contracts to secure oil pipelines.

OPC has been in existence for years. They have fought and killed the IGBO traders in Lagos. They have killed many Igbos since their existence.

They disfranchised the igbos from voting. They have pursued the Igbos out of their purchased properties in Lagos and some other places.
They have always mounted road and street blocks and taxed IGBO traders and importers before they can use spaces to trade or offload. . They gallivant with life firearms, but police dare not interupt them. They received praises and got contracts yet they are friends of everyone. ..

The Boko boys are there. The herdsmen are the kings.These groups receive arms flown with private jets.

IPOB & Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, only handle microphone with mouthwash, flags and banners, and the whole world is letting loose.
They are being killed and targeted. They are called terrorists.

The IGBOs reared up their ugly heads to attack and display their idiosyncrasies.
Do you see the life of people under spell..?
People who collect payment to betray theirs.
He may not be perfect, but what stops your civil advice and contribution in an approachable manner?

Some are standing erect like tiny penis to attack him because he has not identified with their spirituality or whatsoever; and I then ask, will we all be Odinani believers before we can talk about our freedom?

Let Nnamdi Kanu be making that noise. If you have advice, strategy or good contributions, please join him and bring the change you desire in his group.

Please don't shut him down. At least he is speaking the opinions and minds of the majority. He is letting the world and Nigeria know that we are not dumbs even though we are not strong enough to seek for our freedom, but we are not ignorant of the reality.
Freedom is speaking that truth that will hurt the minds of the oppressors.

IGBOs Why are you people receiving payment to betray yours?

IGBOs why?

Remember, it may work out, who knows the plans of the Most High.

I laugh out loud what will become of you if eventually it worked out.

Records hold what such your types passed through in independent nations.

My advice to IPOB and Kanu, start building bridges, but don't be the bridge.

I rest my case.

I may not D'accord in all IPOB strategies, but what is the ideology weighing?

bro, Our business is that those first 3 are of Igbo blood. born in Igboland but lived in South west and Kogi state!

I thought you guys claimed to be the most educated, why didn't your sons score higher marks than those three Igbos?

an Igbo man will pack from his landlocked erosion south east and come to Awolowo backyard to defeat his Descendants in Education!



Lastly ,all Federal universities in The south West are not owned by Yorubas but owned by Nigeria! Ain't we practicing ONE NIGERIA again?

THE JUDASES OF JUNE 12th 1993.
"I did not vote for myself. Nigerians voted for me. I have already won the Presidential Election. You cannot re-sit for an exam you have already passed."
~Chief M.K.O Abiola
(June 12 remains a watershed in the history of Nigeria. June 12, 1993, was the day Nigerians placed national interest above primordial sentiments. Nigerians conducted themselves in an orderly manner and filed out to choose the person they would like to be at the helm of affairs of the country in a bid to send the soldiers back to their barracks.
The election was a two-horse race in which Moshood Kashimawo Olawale of the Social Democratic Party(SDP) squared up to Bashir Tofa of the National Republican Convention (NRC). Abiola's horse coasted home to victory ahead of Tofa's eagle. However, after the horse had breasted the tape the race was cancelled. Ibrahim Babangida the Head of States then ordered a fresh election and that was what prompted the opening statement credited to the late M.K.O Abiola. The late business mogul remained as stubborn as a mule and demanded the validation of his mandate. The rest, as they say, is history.
The enemies of June 12 were legion. But in celebration of the June 12 epoch, we take a look at those who belonged to the Abiola's camp initially but became turncoats as the battle to reclaim his mandate thickened. These are the people, dead or alive, who shouted themselves hoarse while chorusing Hossana in support of Abiola on the eve of June 12 only to abandon him and start shouting crucify him as he wobbled under the cross of June 12 and traipsed through Golgotha to pay the supreme price for democracy, ....)
(1)IBRAHIM BABANGIDA
The "evil genius" was the head of the military government from 1985 to1993. History will remember him as the prime architect of the June 12 debacle. He came up with the two parties, Social Democratic Party(SDP) and the National Republic Convection(NRC). One, a little to the left and the other a little to the right---on these platforms MKO Abiola and Basiru Tofa respectively contested. The gap-toothed dictator annulled the June 12 election on June 21, 1993, when it was clear that the winner was the late MKO Abiola and ordered a fresh election.
Abiola refused to go to the pools again. Often called Maradona-- after the rotund diminutive football genius from Argentina-- for his political deftness, Babangida would later feint and dribble the nation into a political cul de sac. On August 26, 1993, Babangida announced his exit by saying he would " step aside" thus adding a new word to our ever increasing repertoire of political lexicons. By that singular action, he ushered in the Interim National Government(ING) headed by Chief Ernest Shonekan.
However, things used to be rosy between the self-avowed evil genius and Abiola before June 12 drove a wedge into their relationship. In fact, MKO said, in his lifetime, that it was Babangida who first mooted the idea of running for the presidency to him. He raised the idea with him during the burial of his first wife, Simbiat, in Lagos in 1992. IBB, as he is fondly called, told MKO that he must contest election as the country could not wait to welcome him as their next president.
Abiola would later regret trusting Babangida while in Abacha's gulag by saying: " I believed in a friend. I trusted a friend and he betrayed me. IBB betrayed me." IBB would later describe June 12 debacle as "unfortunate".
(2)ERNEST SHONEKAN
A British-trained Nigerian Lawyer and an Egba Man like Abiola. In a move ostensibly make to placate the aggrieved south-western bloc IBB imposed Shonekan as head of an illegitimate contraption called Interim National Government. However,the real reason for installing Shonekan was to upstage his fellow Egba man in a way reminiscent of how Dr Moses Adekoyejo Majekodunmi(the Federal Minister of Health), in the wake of the political crisis known as operation Weti e that rocked the Western region, was used as a stop-gap by Tafawa Balewa during his declaration of state of emergency( the first in the history of Nigeria) in the region ensured Awolowo had been cooling his feet in prison before installing S.L Akintola his estranged deputy and the Hausa-Fulani minion.
Recounting the events that preceded the imposition of Shonekan as head of ING, Professor Omo Omoruyi, the late political adviser to IBB in his expose of a book titled: "The tale of June 12" (an insider's account of the intrigues that characterised Gen. Babangida's transition), said,: First he ( Shonekan) gave the assurance and undertaking to the outgoing president(Babangida) that under no circumstance would he reopen the June 12 matter. Second, was that he would do everything to divide the Yoruba on the matter of June 12."
Coincidentally, Abiola and Ladoke Akintola were holders of traditional title of Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland while alive. Shonekan would later be booted out of power on November 17, 1993, through a bloodless coup by General Sanni Abacha. Abacha was the man that brought June 12 drama to its climax.
(3)BABAGANA KINGIBE
A suave retired diplomat who contested against Abiola in the presidential primary election of the SDP and lost. Abiola was persuaded by his friends and political supporters to pick Kingibe as his vice-presidential candidate because of his political clout in the North and closeness to Major-General Shehu Musa Yar'Adua who was the deputy Head of State in the military regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo. Together they sold HOPE 93 to Nigerians.
Unfortunately, as the plot for the actualization of the June 12 mandate thickened, Kingibe changed camp and ensured that Hope 93 was not just deferred but completely dashed. Kingibe served as foreign minister under Sanni Abacha, the same man that arrested and jailed Abiola with whom he ran on the platform of SDP.
Abiola would later regret choosing Kingibe over Dan Suleiman, a retired air commodore and former military governor from the then middle belt. Abiola referred to Suleiman as a 'complete gentleman'. MKO said he did know that his running mate had " extensive connections and relationship" with the security agencies and the military high command. Kingibe contributed to the abortion of the third republic. He would later be honoured by President Muhammadu Buhari with GCON solely because of being Abiola's running mate. An honour many believe he does not deserve.
(4)TONY ANENIH
In the build-up to the 1993 election when Babagana Kingibe decided to throw his hat into the ring for the presidential primaries in SDP, he stepped down as the Chairman of the party and Anenih took over. He worked for the emergence of Abiola as the winner of the 1993 presidential election. However, the story changed after the annulment.
Annenih was later quoted to have declared that the day the Interim National Government was signed was the happiest day of his life. He even subtly mocked Abiola in his autobiography titled ' My Life And Nigerian Politics'. In the book, Anenih said "Chief MKO Abiola as indicated earlier has said that if you want to go to Kano, going by air or going by road does not make any difference as long as you get there.
“His interpretation of this was that going by air meant Abacha taking over from Shonekan and he, Abiola, being sworn in the next day. Going by road was waiting till March 1994, when Shonekan would use the National Assembly to hand over to him because he actually won the election.
“Unfortunately, for Chief Abiola, there was, in fact, no landing, and Kano as the desired destination proved to be a fantasy".
MKO Abiola regretted doing the bidding of Yar'Adua to ensure the victory of Annenih over Chief Sergeant Awuse. He said Annenih did not consult him before " he negotiated away our victory". The late Professor Omo Omoruyi corroborated Abiola's claim in his book. He, however, included Alhaji Sule Lamido who was the National Secretary of the SDP as being privy to the signing away of the June 12 mandate.
(5)OLUSEGUN OBASANJO
Former Head of State, Olusegun Obasanjo, like Abiola, is also from Ogun state. In fact, they both(Abiola and Obasanjo) attended Baptist Boys High School. Obasanjo was said to have served as the deputy editor of the school magazine known as the Trumpeter, while Abiola served as editor.
Abiola initially supported Abiola in the struggle to reclaim his mandate. Obasanjo had urged Babangida to relinquish power and stop dawdling on the transition programme. He said, "Annulment or no annulment, Babangida must leave by August 27. He made the promise, he has to keep it." However, Obasanjo would later become a renegade of the June 12 struggle by saying "Abiola is not the messiah".
Obasanjo would later become the chief beneficiary of the democracy Abiola paid the supreme price for when he was sworn in on May 29, 1999, as the president of Nigeria. He kept mum on the issue of June 12 throughout his tenure.
(6)OLADIPO DIYA
Like Obasanjo and Abiola, Lieutenant General Oladipo Diya is from Ogun State. He served as second in command to the late dictator, Sani Abacha. Diya had promised that Abacha reign would be brief. Having put his mouth to the nectar of power, Diya started singing a different song. In fact, in the heat of the struggle for the actualization of June 12 Diya became an instant punster; he derided agbako (woe) the coalition of democrats, known as the National Democratic Coalition(NADECO).
He later regretted his action as Abacha, his boss, would later try him for planning to topple his regime.
(7)EBENEZER BABATOPE, OLU ONAGORUWA, LATEEF JAKANDE
The duo of Ebenezer Babatope and Lateef Jakande have always been staunch Awoists. They decided to serve in the Abacha cabinet at the behest of Abiola who thought Abacha would redeem his pledge of having civilians as deputy governors. However, they refused to back out of the deal when it became obvious that the game had changed.
Olu Onagoruwa was a firebrand and legal luminary. He used to be Gani Fawehinmi's ally and confidant until he decided to serve under Abacha. He was said to have decided to serve in the Abacha cabinet on the prompting of his fellow Odogbolu townsman, Oladipupo Diya. It is a sad thing that Onagoruwa would be reminded as a 'villain' of June 12 having sacrificed a lot for activism and human rights. His decision to serve in Abacha's Cabinet cost him a lot. And he was eventually sacked by the dictator.
(LAMIDI ADEDIBU, ARISEKOLA ALAO
Arisekola Alao
Both were Muslims. In fact, Arisekola held the title of Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland till he died. And like Abiola, he was a businessman. However, both decided to pitch their tent with Sanni Abacha in the battle for the realization of the June 12 mandate. Arisekola and Adedibu hobnob with military men and other enemies of June 12. Arisekola even defended Babangida on the annulment of June 12 election.
At a press conference, he had said: “Wallahi Tallahi, Billahillazi la’ila ha illahuwa, and we are in the month of Ramadan, that is what happened at that time. It was after the election that members of the Armed Forces Ruling Council threatened to kill both MKO Abiola and IBB if he insisted on releasing the result of the election. They threatened to kill both IBB and Abiola,”
Arisekola would later escape death by a whisker when he followed Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar to the premises of the University of Ibadan for an event. Irate students who felt he contributed immensely to thwart the realization of the June 12 mandate attacked him and set his car ablaze.
(9)LATEEF SHOFOLAHAN
Lateef Sofolahan
A former personal assistant to the late Kudirat Abiola, wife of Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola who was assassinated during the struggle of June 12. Call him an enemy within or a fifth columnist and you will not be far from the truth. Shofolahan was prosecuted along with Al-Mustapha, a former Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the late Head of State, General Sanni Abacha over the death of Kudirat Abiola. Shofolahan was travelling in the same car with the late Kudirat Abiola when she was shot in the forehead. Her driver too was killed but Shofolahan miraculously escaped unscathed.
In the court, Mohammed Abdul (a.k.a Katako), who gave evidence as a prosecution witness, narrated how late Kudirat Abiola’s personal assistant, Alhaji Lateef Shofolahan, gave his boss away to the assailants. Though they would later be discharged and acquitted, Shofolahan will go down in history as a villain and one of the Judases of June 12.
(10)UCHE CHUKWUMERIJE, TOM IKIMI, WALTER OFONAGORO
The lethal troika, and you may throw Jerry Gana into the mix, worked tirelessly against democracy. Blessed with the gift of the gab, they deployed their awesome talent into the services of the anti-democratic forces holding this country in the jugular.
Chukwumerije who served as information minister in the Babangida regime and Shonekan's ING was a virulent propagandist in the mold of Paul Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of propaganda who kept rationalizing holocaust.
He once called Abiola a generalissimo( referring to his traditional title) that ran away from war. And in a moment of madness even asked General Abacha to sign a Decree outlawing the mention of ‘June 12’ in public places. Chukumerije would also serve as a senator before his death. He benefited from Abiola's sacrifice as well.
(These are some of the many Judases that betrayed June 12 struggle and MKO Abiola).

bro just keep shut.

Every tribe in this world has their history traced to popular Nations in the Bible.

The entire Europe trace their origin to Edom(One of the sons of Isaac) and Japheth(one of the sons of Noah). They claimed Edomites and Japhethites came together as one nation which was proved in the Book of Jaspher Chapter 90.

~THE SEAL OF SOLOMON CONNEXION~

From Wikipedia:
The Seal of Solomon (or Ring of Solomon ; Arabic : ﺧﺎﺗﻢ ﺳﻠﻴﻤﺎﻥ Khātam Sulaymān) is the signet ring attributed to King Solomon in medieval Jewish tradition and in Islamic and Western occultism . It was often depicted in either a pentagram or hexagram shape; the latter also known as the Star of David in Jewish tradition.
This ring variously gave Solomon the power to command demons, jinn (genies), or to speak with animals. Due to the proverbial wisdom of Solomon, his signet ring, or its supposed design, it came to be seen as an amulet or talisman , or a symbol or character in medieval and Renaissance-era magic, occultism , and alchemy.

If you are too keen in BIBLE reading, you would observe that GOD punished the People of Israel for worshipping the god of the Ammonites(Descendants of Canaan)–Saturn – in Amos 5:26 and Acts 7:43. Saturn was a god of the Canaanites with variants such as Chiun, Molech and Remphan.
The Star of Moloch was the same with the Seal of Solomon.
Coming to the "Igbo" angle, the first Nigerian flag and coin had that star on it. Wikipedia reads:




The colonial flag of Nigeria was adopted in 1914 following the amalgamation of Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria. It was first suggested by the first Governor-General of Nigeria, Sir Frederick Lugard as a symbol of the unification of Nigeria and because of the Seal of Solomon which was associated with the native
Igbo Jews. The Star of David had already been in use in Nigeria during the British rule because of the Igbo Jews who were featured on coins of the British West African pound . This was confirmed in the 1917 discovery of a bronze Star of David attributed to the Igbo Jews in Aguleri . The crest on the flag was also used on the flag of the Governor-General of Nigeria.


I don't think that star was adopted by the Igbos from the Israeli flag because the year of discovery of the Seal of Solomon in Igboland (erroneously referred to as Star of David) was 1917 and the Israeli flag was designed in 1948. It's obvious we had the star for centuries.


Could this mean that a branch of Israelites who adopted the star of Moloch during the time of Solomon migrated to Eastern Nigeria? Was this "star" [worshipped by the early Israelites –who migrated to Eastern Nigeria–] transferred from generation to generation until it was discovered in 1917 at Aguleri?
