If you want lagos to be a mega city then you must stomach the simple fact that lagos belong to us all.

And if you're in doubt go to Enugu and invest as much as Igbos have invested in lagos. Then you can feel free to contest for Enugu State Governorship and I can assure you of winning.

jmoore:
The appeal was unneccessary.

If any foolish person attacks you, you defend yourselves.

Let the E-touts keep barking like toothless bulldogs.

People decided to perform their democratic rights as citizens of Nigeria. And they are being insuted because of it.

Stone age mentality still resides in the brains of some folks.

The stupidity and senselessness of some miserable Yorubas kept amazing me.
Why are we conducting elections at all. What's the essence of the exercise. We should have asked tinubu who he wants and just ask the man to resume in the government house on may 29.
Men you people are so illiterate. Going to school doesn't seem to in anyway relieve you fools from clutches of illiteracy.

austinvsb:
If him no apologise,come comot am from throne. jobless things!! your people back home are about to face the most difficult four years ever in Lagos and Nigeria at large.

Igbo people face difficulty from where my dear fool?
Igbo people have lived for the past forty years without benefiting anything from your damned government. Its your tribe who Live by the bribes they take in civil service that would die if by chance the government bans bribe and official stealing.

FYI Igbos have the highest GDP per person in this contraption called niger area, and that is even after all we went through during the war.

HausaFulanis are the poorest region in this country irrespective of the fact they've ruled the country for almost 40years.

The yorubas on the other hand can't stomach the fact that we buy and live in the best houses in lagos. They simply can't grasp the ingenuity of the Igbo thus they result to hate. But unfortunately they don't know its their hate and bad belle that is actually propelling us from height to height.

You can't afford not to admire the Igbo man spirit and that's because it is from God.

Ok

ayusco85:
i pray APC wins. they are good for lagos

How do you know they're good? Have you seen another government in lagos.

omenka:
First, the picture certainly wasn't taken today. Saw it the first time much earlier today before sunrise. So how can one tell me it was taken today??

Secondly, the picture shows no proof whatsoever he's "sharing" money. Much as our police has been compromised, I don't think they can be this dumb as to stand by and watch a candidate share monies to potential voters "on election day".


So op, try harder.

Apc people always denying even when they're caught red handed stealing

Anyway am sure buhari just used the thieves in a apc to achieve his life long dream

Bros Obi abeg do make the babe born foe you o because no time.

And why are you wearing my polo?

Ymodulus:
Lol.
Morning

Lol guy na yab I dey yab o.
Anyway morning!
But I no dey joke with my beloved Igbo tribe.
I live and die as a proud Igbo man. And should there be another life I'd come an Igbo man a million more times.

God bless you if you love Ndigbo! And let it be otherwise if your case is otherwise.
I am available for love and hate.

Ymodulus:
Thanks it takes a bright mind to see that. Many just think am been tribalistic. Thinks am against the igbos without knowing am part of them

Lol!
On the contrary it takes an oaf to accord a fellow oaf an accolade on their shared tripe.

maajin007:
U know why u are being treated like shit because most of u are suffering from meganomanial;until u solve that issue of yours.Pls let me inform you am not a Hausa or a yoruba

Dude I don't give a fuckkkk where in hell you come from. Mine is simply to educate you on the economic situation in the country. That we Ndigbo will continue to use your hate as fuel for our growth .

blackcookie:
. The content of your skull is saw-dust

Lol!

The more you hate us, the more your people eat dust.

How is north now? When igbo man leave your domain he leaves with all his blessings. Now the northerners are dying daily without knowing what is hitting them. That's their reward and they aint even seen nothing yet. Now they're only internally displaced. Soon their domain would be permanently deserted.

Welcome to nigeria where mediocrity is celebrated and ingenuity disdained.

XBLadez:
I had to save to save these words, bro. It's full of wisdom. Permit me to use them in future references

Permission granted a million times.
Lol!

maajin007:
ibos should know they are not the only tribe in Lagos.The ibo should do check up on their society .Why did other ethnic group distaste them .Y are they alone?

FYI we distaste you twice as much as you do us. As for the reasons for your distaste? We are simply destined for greatness which is why after all we went through during the war Ndigbo have the highest GDP per person in this country while the hausas are the poorest even though they have ruled the country for nearly fifty years. And as for the Yorubas they simply can't stomach the ingenuity of the igbo man and that is what is responsible for their bitter bile.

Meanwhile who God bless no man can curse!

Ymodulus:
That is the problem we have in Nigeria , when you speak the truth the think you are against a certain tribe. I am not Yotugba nor Hausa

Even if you're not yoruba or hausa, your write up have displayed your disdain for fact

Lol

Ymodulus:
I think I will start by trying to be Anthropomorphic, as it will bet express my heading.
Its really sad when insanity realizes that he has a mental disorder then he is as good as cured. The moment a people come to terms with their complex problem which often place them at loggerheads with their host communities the better for them.

I seem not to fathom how a tribe claim to have suffered humiliations and deprivation from other ethnic nationalities. This allegation should be consider very weighty even though it was not substantiated. Nonetheless, this aggrieved ethnic nationality needs to ask herself what is about it that could be responsible for the purported hostile acts of other ethnic nationalities toward it.

One problem I have with Chimanda is all her articles tends to quote Chinua Achebe, even when its evident chinua actions are wrong. The sane mistake she made, about his book "there was a country". Now she is trying to say that the Igbo's were murdered in early 1960's for political reasons? Who started the war? Was it the Nigerian Arny or The late Ojukwu ? I see Chimabda is biased. And she is just a staunt re-echoer of Chinua Achebe's belief.


I liked the fact that she related the massacre of the Ibos in different parts of the country before the civil war. However what I do like to ask her is this,

1. chimanda was there nothing that led to the massacre?

You can't deny that the tendency to dominate in another man's land which is being exhibited now by taking the Oba to court is what led to such. Tell me when you come back from court if the people of Lagos will still have a good relationship with the Ibos.


Chimanda while trying to play a neutral ground at the surface, is been biased deep down. I am sorry to say but if Chimanda spent her time writing this, she wasted that time. As this just further lowered NY respect for her as an internationally recognised writer. Novel is her thing not politics.

Just imagine how shez is spreading lies about 1960s massacre. Posterity Judge you.

Your blindness did not surprise me.
Because I wasn't really expecting you to understand the content of chimamanda's article.

So you ended up writing a rudderless tripe as a response.

But you should start from the basics. Get a copy of the constitution and begin to read it.

And concerning the issue of war. Pls you Yorubas should live in perpetual shame until you're at least able to liberate your people in kwara. That will give you guys a first hand experience of what war looks like.

MugabeRobert:
Are you minding the ungrateful parasites? We gave peace and they paid us back with constant abuse of our traditional values. Can they try half of what they are doing in southwest in the north? Heck, can they insult Emir of Kano the way they did to Kabiyesi?

Unfortunately you did not know that while the emir of kano is educated, the current oba of lagos is an illiterate tout, which was why he desecrated the throne.

Do you think Oba Oyekan ll would have uttered such words as this oba did?

MugabeRobert:
The ibos are now crying blue murder cos the yorubas decided to stop defending and start attacking. Well you ain't seen nothing yet, don't expect flowers in return after calling a region that accepted you a no man's land.

...a region that accepted you?
You people live and dine in abject ignorance.

Pls get the copy of the nigerian constitution. Read it and if you don't like its content then just jump in the lagoon and end your misery.

cole265:
I am impressed that with the long write up, she did not insult the Oba. It's not about the individual but about the issue. I maintain the Oba bared it all...he spoke out of frustration and anger. this is what I expect that the Igbos should investigate...why the hatred? why the resentment from other ethnic tribe for the Igbos? The Igbos need to do a lot of self assessment.

The only self assessment we need is on how to keep going higher. The haters can keep hating, its exactly their hate that has been fueling our success.

Two Igbo states fought the rest of the country in a bitter three year war where our own very weapons were manufactured by ourselves. And few years after the war we have the most thriving and successful middle class, own and live in better part of lagos. While the north remains the poorest region and the yorubas can't stand our success.

Waspy:
[b] Important Socratic questions Chiamanda and her folks forgot to answer are;

Have Yorubas not bn good hosts in all forms of being good and being an host?

Is it too much for Yorubas to say that Lagos is a Yorubaland?

He who comes to equity must come with clean hands.... Have the Igbo, all along and "all these while" bn innocent victims?

Are Igbos not just being mischievous since there are other tribes( whose lands are even closer to Lagos than the far East) in Lagos who have never cried like babies and whined like bigots?

Is there a way forward and who shld pave way for who?


Are other sojourners laying claims to the "no-man's land as passionately as the Igbos?

I think these and many more questions shld have bn answered by Ms. Adichie and her goons before she concoted her sentimental piece...if truly she did.

It won't be fair, if for the sakes of peace and unity of Nigeria, we continue to, for no sane reasons, undermine, insubordinate, take for granted and make to nothing the culture, tradition,ideology and good will of the numerous pples that make this great country[/b]

I have realized that a lot of yorubas comment here out of ignorance. You make your comments without referring to the issue in discuss .
You simply come up here and start your vituperation.

Please I advice you all to go get a copy of the nigerian constitution and enlighten yourselves before you start this our long awaited war.

I pray for Jimi to win and if that happens and you people didn't start this your war then you shall all die in the lagoon.

VirginFinder:
Most ibo Nairalanders are semi-literate just like you.
I cant fathom why.
It's 'curse' not 'course'.

@OP ibos should stick to their business and stay out of our local politics.
Any attempt to dabble into it will spell doom as we can all see.
That's all!

Thank you my illiterate typist.

Meanwhile keep hating.

Igbos would continue to own the best part of lagos. And if that's why you're mad, just jump into the lagoon and end your miserable life.

You're a gift from God to Ndigbo. Just as Ndigbo are a gift from God to Nigerians.

The only irony being that while Ndigbo love you Chimamanda, nigerians hate Ndigbo.

And the result of their hate is that Ndigbo kept moving from height to height.

Who would have imagined that after what we went through during the civil war ndigbo would come to be the tribe with the highest GDP per person and the north still remains the poorest region.

Let them continue to hate but who God bless no man can curse.

Fine bridge. Now that you have built it make it is not blown up by una boko boys.

And remember to be grateful to the oil rich region for their largess.

Fine bridge. Now that you have built it make it is not blown up by una boko boys.

So this is what yorubas are proud of?
**spits**

Feel free to die for any politician of your choice. Your name would be written in gold there after for being such a patriot who volunteered his life when the country could no more cope with its overwhelming population

LMAyedun:
This Old baba shaa!
Very playful old man, his grand kids will really enjoy him.

Old, but still very young within

That Baba no dey in good terms with his kids. And I know why.

UkwuNnu:
Funny how u listed Igbo names like they were the leader that sent those three to jail.

You can as well claim Abacha to be a far Igbo descendant.

Can u give proofs to your claims? Just spewing trash and host of lies to gullible kids online would do u no good, just as one just took your statement hook, line and sinker as what he learnt today.


Then again, this you guys obsession with anything Igbo to the extent of picking Igbo monikers won't do u any favour. Stop being a Coward and be who u are. Be proud of your identity.


Ozu!

Lol when I saw it I just laughed because I know the slowpoke who posted those names just wanted to be quoted.
yorubas and their HausaFulani slavemasters kill abiola and his mandate. Anyway abiola himself was a Thief.

delegiwa:
Pally, I'm a full blown NWAFO IGBO but my response to you isn't that of being tribalistic but to correct what you know as your history. IBB annulled the June 12 election without the help of all those names mentioned in that post. Heck, the election was conducted by Humphrey Nwosu, an Ibo man whose career was messed up for having the audacity to even announce any part of the result. The decision to annul that election was not taken in conjunction with those people but IBB and the big boys. The Obas, yes the Obas visited IBB in solidarity! If they could do that, who do you think should bear the toga of 'backstabbers' in this case?

Please read your history very well and leave all these ethnic rants as they won't take us anywhere.

My personal take on that election is that if Bashir Torfa had won, I'm sure it wouldn't have been annulled.

You don't really have to respond. The fools themselves know it was the yorubas and their hauasafulani slave masters who scuttled abiola mandate.

Ordinary prison Wey Obj dey naim im face be like chimpanzee own

edozie04:
80k? seriously? that money can finish in my hands under 1hour

Lol and you're here in nairaland ?

We know who has been ruling lagos for the past 16 years and he would probably rule until he is dead.

That's how yorubas want it.
Before na change
Now na continuity
After they have achieved their purpose of removing Jonathan
No more change.
