One thing I'll like you to know is that lagos is a blessed place. No matter what you do to hurt it, it still grows. FCT was taken away from it to make it dilapidated, but see how developed it has become due to yoruba wisdom in fashola. Abuja can't even stand its commercial stance. When people claim lagos is just enjoying oil money from Niger delta, they were quickly silenced by the discovery of oil in lagos. Lagos is currently building a world class international airport in lekki which will divert a lot of foreign flights to itself because of the beauty of lekki. Talk about the refinery, free trade zone, badagry port, lekki deep sea port and the superb Eko atlantic artificial island just to mention a few. It is ridiculous to think the removal of a market where substandard electronic goods and pirated CDs are sold will cripple lagos. Majority of electronic companies are now opening showrooms across the state and the nation. So, whatever delusional glory alaba market has will fade off in the next couple of years. People now do shopping malls, not 2by2 shops.

What do you think ambode is up to with his recent meetings with korean and asian ambassadors? I believe his about to give them incentives so they can bring in their automobile companies to lagos.


Lagos leads...others follow

Let peace reign

All those developments are private sector driven, and is based on the calculation that lagos mega city status remain intact. If Igbos leave or you drive them away from lagos, with their population, dynamism, entrepreneurial drive, tax base, consumption and etc, you will see those private investors do a recalculation and strategy on lagos state government. Most Igbos in Lagos understand that the Yoruba elites and leaders will continue to bend over for the Igbos to continue thriving in lagos. The character of Igbo dynamism in lagos is different from others. For those Igbos agitating for the state of Biafra, they can achieve it without firing a shot. All they want to do, is to provoke the yorubas until they settle for, true federalism, regional government or Biafra in that order.

Igbonazy:
You guys dont seem to get it, i dont give a damn what ikwerre says they are or are not even if they go to war to reject being called igbo its complete rubbish and doesnt change a thing or what they are - Rivers igbo.
Ikwerre sounds very close to other eastern languages,they will be categorized as igbo by those who study languages or something like that even if they are from Mars, there is ABSOLUTLY nothing they can do about it except they greatly alter their language from sounding like other eastern languages.

No one is Really igbo in Eastern Nigeria... Now listen carefully, doo nti gi aka: The name IGBO is used in describing tribes with very similar languages just like biologists use Primate to describe Animals with similar features (like monkey,gorilla,chimpanzee,human etc). If you go to jupiter now and find animals that share thesame feature with earth Monkeys, baboons, gorrilla,human etc you will call them PRIMATE likewise if you go to Jamaica and find a tribe that speaks something close to what ikwerre,anambra or nsukka man speaks,that tribe AUTHOMATICALLY get grouped as IGBO. Nobody is really born Igbo in Eastern Nigeria,it's just collection of tribes that speak very similar languages. IGBO is just a " Collective term" for languages that are very similar.
I am an Nsukka man,Abiriba or Abatete man not really an igboman,what makes them call me an igboman is the similarity my nsukka language for example shares with owerri or other Southeastern languages...
NSUKKA man says <papa gu ne eku gi>(your father is calling you) OWERRI man says <papa gu la apko gi>
the only difference is the EKU and AKPO.This many similarity is why both nsukka and owerri are group under the igbo nation.
Owerri for example can easily quit the igbo Union but can never quit being igbo because the Igbo grouping is like a formula that can never be altered. Nobody i repeat No igbo can wakeup one day and decide not to be igbo.

We are all novice in this field and are driven by our emotion. Let's leave the argument for the professional and move on.

Ikwerres and other Igboids are all Igbos whose history were rooted in the Republican nature of all the Igbo people period. In time another group might break away from Ikwerre or any other Igboid group. ( ndi kwe, ndi ekweyi and autonomous, Igbo ewe eze, republican ways of life form the bedrock of Igbo societies from the beginning of time).

Alcatraz001:
Just continue insulting, the cloud is gathering.

The storm is almost here. if you don't feel the mood of the nation then I must admit all ibos are FOOLS. We plan to wipe you all out now. Enough of ibos in Nigeria...ya'all should go form your Biafra.

Both educated and illiterate Yoruba's now know you hate us yet u stay and prosper in our lands.

Just continue.....

Yoruba, Yoruba, do you people think Igbos want to spend the next second with you people in this contraption?. They have being praying for you to react but, your leaders and elites always step in to quell the situation before it gets out of hand.

Hmmm......"layers and layers of meaning". Nigerians can't see beyond the surface(rain).

Flyoruboy:
The biggest mistake the Igbos, or any other group for that matter, can ever make is in espousing the delusional notion that they are indispensable. It was Charles De Gaulle that made the famous quote that "The Graveyards Are Full of Indispensable Men". In other words, the world will always adapt and move on. Nigeria will move on. It's like saying that if the North abandons Agriculture in Nigeria we will all starve to death. Hell no we won't, we will fill the void, somehow someway. Or that without Oil Nigeria will cease to exist -- even when evidently Nigeria existed and even thrived better before the discovery of Oil. Necessity they say is the mother of inventions. You are naively mistaken in underestimating the gift of resilience inherent in other Nigerians in your attempt to make your point. If Ghana, Togo, Kenya and other smaller and less endowed countries can survive without Igbo traders then I don't see why any other region in the country won't either. Don't kid yourself bro. I repeat, nobody is indispensable.

Another excellent/perfect point,......but the primary reason for this relocation drive by the Igbos is for their self preservation as a group, and not about their indispensability as the case may be. The idea of their indispensability as you rightly observed comes from their boastfulness and loud nature,......but beyond that, Igbos understand the comparative advantages of other groups especially the yorubas, and would like to see Odua reach the apex of her potentials on her own, and not about how indispensable a group is or not

Flyoruboy:
We already have our own traders who specialize in their own niche products and are ok with the status quo but make no mistake about it, in the eventuality that igbo traders move out of Lagos, they will only increase competition for whatever trade they are leaving behind because nature will take its course as long as there is demand and their void will definitely be filled. I know you are an intelligent fella so it's not rocket science.

And look, just so you know, I have no problem patronizing igbo business in Lagos, especially the ones that deal in genuine products. But to think that they are indispensable in a sector like trading is a joke of epic proportions.

Good point though, but there are some elements of Igbo trading attributes that are indispensable. The resourcefulness/ connection/network/fx/remittances of the global Igbo diasporan group are indispensable for now when they move. The yoruba diasporan population are not as dynamic, hence they should be controlling/maintaining those markets in the first place.

bushdoc9919:
Considering the fact that 1)I am a Christian and 2) I most certainly can talk....that renders your comment rather false.

And anyway....wherever I hear peope shouting Biafra or Jihad, or odua, or marginalisation etc....I wonder....what are you people really calling for. Development....or a share of the national cake.

One thing I know...as a Nigerian.....there is no national cake....and all of you lazy Nigerians(yes...that means all of you...not one section of the country) need to work. Oil is becoming worthless....and the price will stay low permanently.

So.....if you people want to fight a never ending resource war....fine. If you people want to drop the pretence...and the tribal and religious bigotry....and work for the development of your local area by making your governors work for you and by diversifying your economies....which by the by would bring in more money than you can dream of (and yes...pollution of the envt by oil means a chance to develop clean up industries and innovations)....that's even better.

You Nigerians......I have long since left tribal affiliations behind....and I laugh at you....you better wake up. Why is your region still underdeveloped after years of power at the center? Does that tell you something?

"Lord have mercy". Nigeria is a faild state, after went through trillions of dollars, that some of the newly developed countries in Asia can't even dream of, and yet , some humans are reasoning like this.

[quote author=Adminisher post=37938613]You need to stop deceiving yourself . Most 'pure' Muslims don't want to leave with any other faiths including Nigerian Muslims. Evvery half educated youth down south has this dumbed down belief that they are in a forceful union with other tribes. It is not other tribes doing it but politicians, businessmen and global businessmen. Dont deceive yourself also that they want your oil wealth. The average northern youth does not feel the effects of oil wealth the same way the youths of the SS are not feeling it much.
The truth is that the so called Muslims expelled easterner s violently in the sixties and if given the chance they would do it again.
Nigeria is being kept alive by God himself for his purposes and the people we mentioned before. Let me put it in perspective - there would be no Dangote, Adesina, Otedola, Danjuma if there were no Nigeria.
So you are beginning to understand. The advice for youths is to fight for their future in their country. Stop tribalism, stop supporting corrupt politicians, fight for good laws ET. C but you cannot deceive yourself that a "phantom" Biafra is the answer. It is Nigeria only you need to fight and fight the



There's no adjective yet to define any Nigerian, advocating for the kind of one Nigeria we have at the moment.

Almost all of the posters above and below me are yorubas. I have no clue as to the business of this evil minded people whenever SE and SS are brought together.

They have fatal attractions to the Igbos Lol. Love & Hate.

pazienza:
Lol! Yorubas are the only group in Africa that can match and even outdo Biafrans if they put their mind into it , Oodua country has the potential to match and even outrun Biafra in human development indices.

But the problem is that they are too obsessed with the Igbo man progress, that they often lose sight of the big picture, which is the fact that stopping the Igbo man progress, will not make them progressive. They can only progress by working on their own progress, without minding whatever the Igbo man is doing.

"Bunkon". Take beauty and sports for example. While do you think, a whole lot yorobbers men are marring Igbo women?. Answer: To produce beautiful women and muscular men for sports and fashion. .....Biafra rocks!.

My friend, if it doesn't mean anything in Hausa/fulani, Igbo, yoruba or other Nigerian tribes then is non and void period. The whites and Asian will never never accept our humanity, if we all cannot figure out what name we are answering means, while only the Whites know the secret behind that name, then, we are worst than slaves or robots, because the secret behind that maybe decoded and passes on from generation to generation to the very few elites, who have the custody of the interpretation of that secret. You can't risk that in this 21st century. The decoded secret might even mean "a race of people of said geographical expression to be terminated by a chosen futuristic date" no body knows, cos 100% citizens of the said entity do not know what's behind the name they are answering. One thing for sure, is that, that name has its root from the darkest chapter of human/African history, when black Africans are defined as 3/4 of human being of which the yorubas typify that designation.

Your father is the ugly fool and will forever be a fool. You are a conquered slave and 4th class citizen of Nigeria. You will continue to work for everyone, you cant make it in life without rushing to the brown roof region. I know you are typing now from your slum in Ajegunle where you, your foolish father and 14 siblings reside in one room near the community toilet. You are Igbo and its your destint to be a slave, deal with it and stop crying.

Yoruba ugly slaves and human excrement/waste are like akara & akam. Ajagunle and mokoko are in western nigeria, the home of the Yoruba nation. Those two slums are the world worst cos they are floating on human excrement/waste and extreme charcoal black ugly yorubas (their birth mark) constitute over 80% of those slums. Pictures don't lie, and that will be my next response. And after that with tens of pictures, explore the ugliness of a tribe in Africa as they lashed on women of other tribes who are more prettier in order to explunge themselves from such a genetic anomaly, while pursuing a political/beauty(bleaching ritual) survival strategies.

May you and your parent die a miserable death for quoting me, may you never prosper. Are you mad? Someone is smashing your skull right on this thread and youstill have the gut to quote me, you want me to make your e-life miserable. You see nothing wrong in your cursed sisters opening there smelly wide p/ussy for different men while they sell the baby, you are heartless and must be a kidnapper. Woe betides you and your generation. Accursed bastard sired by a shameless w/hore.

@after 1, I will never curse you on this NL, but will continue to lay it on your feet while I believe yoruba is an inferior race. I will break it down to you into, political, cultural( which includes racial beauty in appearance),economic, education and etc. I am not going to educate you on all of them cos, you very much know the facts, but will commet briefly on politics. Yorubas feel that their political alignment with the core North in conspiracy against the Igbos is stroke of genius that will usher in Eldorado to their ultimate existence as a people, but do not understand that it is also a function of their underdevelopment, backwardness and poverty. An alignment that can never never see the yoruba race transform into a modern industrial society. Is a politics of rush to the bottom as evidenced by your social, economic, educational and overall development status after 40 yrs of devastated civil war on your your so called competitor.. the Igbos. Your comparative advantages on media and corporate Nigeria are tactically been eroded by very clever hausa/fulani leadership as they cleverly temper with the political power structure in the country. As nigeria economy stumbles, the calculated out comes will see thousands of yorubas lose out both in the corporate and administrative sub sectors, while your lots hails and sai as the political conspiratory alignment against the Igbos powers on only to the delight of the slaves.

Too much of Igbo is making you go mad. Why do you worthless people troop to that same region of brown roof. You cant succeed in life unless you run to that same brown roof region, your worthless cursed people rent a single room in Ajegunle and pack thereself like 12 in one room while boasting online. Many like you have been bursted here as wretched hungry bastard living with there aged parents in the slum.

You are a slave to all tribe, nothing can change it. Cry for freedom till tomorrow, you are forever a slave.

ugliest fool, the answers have been giving to you a million times. The primary reasons while they are rushing to the brown roof slums are the same primary reasons they want to separate from the brown roof slums. Can you in your genetic anomaly brain figure this one out?. The answer is no, no, but I can give you a clue. They have sacrificed millions of lives and continue to pay the ultimate price not, and I mean not to be wanting to rush to the brown roof slums than they pay rushing to the brown roof slums. Can you connect these dots?

I am pummeling you so bad and you stylishly trying to run away. I will continue to torment your miserable life until you commit suicide. I know your worthless life is messed up just like your baby factory sisters below, but i will be glad if you can quickly end it so you can save us from your foolishness and stupidity. You are getting more boring by the day, the bastard that sired you will be cursing you right now for being a nuisance.

I am only showing you your worthless sisters and what they do, also showing you your cursed region and reason you all bastard run away from your erosion ravaged land. Your mother was banished from the village cos all men have pummeled her smelly pus/sy, you bang the bastard daily as well since you derive joy in sleeping with your own mother. Is that not a big curse? May you use your own hand to strangle your mother to death while banging her, may all your sisters die of cancer of the breast, may all your children die of brutal accident. May your worthless life continue to be miserable and unsettled until you commit suicide by slicing your own throat. Accursed bastard

Even if, these are actually Igbo downtrodden girls pics, they are still better in appearance than genetically extreme charcoal black ugly, short and scratched faced unattractive yoruba women. No wonder Igbo women are seen as trophy by yoruba men, at the same time igbo men and others find yoruba women ugly.

codedslayer:
You are sounding incoherent. Its only slaves that beg to be free, we know those that are running away from there land daily. We know those that are 4th class citizen of Nigeria. We know those that are crying and wailing daily to be free, they are all Igbos. You are all cursed and will forever be cursed cos your erosion ravaged land is cursed. Nothing good will ever come out from the sad beast region, cry till tomorrow it wont change the fact that you are destined to be slave to all Nigerians. Deal with it.

Fool, the only yardstick use universally to define slavery is economic status of the said population and where do your population fit into as compared. "Yoruba slavery logic".

But the gala sellers in traffic stinks and smell like fish, same with those selling pirated cd in the sun. Check the pics posted by after1 and tell us the dirty tribe. Ajegunle in Lagos alone where all you animals live stink like gutter. Look in the mirror, you stink little man.

Even with Igbo women Virginia stinking and smelling like fish in an a thousand Ajagunle types of environment, multitude of ugly yoruba men will seek them out for that heavenly sexual exploit with them. This is the British voodoo on yoruba, and you are hooked on like a dog to human excrement while the outcome is reflected on the decaying brown roofs structures all over your domain.

You are struggling for freedom from Nigeria and you call me (Nigerian) a slave ..... You must be one of those errand boy learning how to sell spare parts at Ladipo Market. I can see suffer in ur text

Ewu

He may be right. In history, slaves were used as cannon fodders by their masters when real men are fighting for their freedoms. Most red Indians in North America were conquered using that approach. The British used some pacified Ghananian tribes under the west Africa frontier force to subdued Hausa, Igbo and yorubas into a forced union. Here at home, the lesser or almost 'slaves' almagiris are used as cannon fodders in all the suicide bombings. By the way, have you noticed that those almagiris(slaves) use as cannon fodders by their lighter skinned fulani masters are as charcoal black as yorubas?. Have you ever seen a lighter skinned suicide bomber, and maybe I must be wrong. Bro, this is undiluted straight talk. The yoruba(African) type, because of their genetic reality, their extreme dark heart towards those othe Africans who might not be as extreme dirty black in appearance as in their heart as the yorubas is the #1 reason, Africans, the black race have remained slaves. The white world understood this reality 4 centuries ago in the plantations of south and north America, when different slaves from different tribes are mixed together. The white men divide and control/ conquer actually were handed down to them by the yoruba type as more beautiful women from other slave tribes turned down their men down. The jealousy went deeper as white slave masters preferred prettier Igbo types. Igbos vividly understand this for over a century now. That's why they want separation from you. This extreme jealousy as in the plantation fields reared it's ugly head again in nollywood, and the cold war there has spilled into politics as yorubas are subtly fighting under the banner of "Igbos are 100% pirates in the entertainment industry".

"Let see how critically and analytically Nigerian mind can reason". Can anyone connect the dots for me on this gravely immorality to corruption, bad leadership, poverty and underdevelopment from those group of leadership that have held this country down. ............because, for me, this is more of a biological urge than religion/culture. Don't forget how Lord Lugard described them in his Nigerian ethnic observations.

Aareonakakanfo:
As much i agree with some of the things said here, i feel the article is too one-sided. One can easily percieve the fact that FFK has some grudge with the guys up north. Just my opinion though

No is not one sided my friend. Femi's high light is not even deep enough. Spiritual #3 was also inculcate in crafting into "A Nigeria of heagelian dialectic matrix in dystopia". Occultist minds were also involved. Dystopia which means chaos or anarchy in perpetuity can be crafted in dialectic, using a primary dialectic material. The primary dialectic material used in nigeria dystopia were the falsification of the first National census showing the arid north as more populated than the densely populated south. Crafting for a desired outcome required absolute understanding of the subject matter to be act upon, hence the above observation of the tribes by Lord Lugard as highlighted by Femi. #3 is a spiritual #, and is also understood by the occults. Inside the spiritual ring, 2 will always stand against 1 cos there is no other one(making it 4) to counter balance the 2 in order to create a balance, stability peace, development etc, instead of dystopia.

The North is not d cause of poverty. Corruption is d cause. We are selfish and greedy people. Even when we have d so called 50% resource control we want, it wont lead to much with our current greed.

Here in rivers state where i am , almost all d state scholarship to sturdy Medicine abroad especially in Russia and Ukraine goes to only top politicians and govt officials children who mostly live in portharcourt. The real communities where d revenue are coming from are neglected. Almost everything is concentrated on state capital.

Can you tell me how we are better than Hausa Fulani in managing public fund?

Other races have a rigid belief, that black Africans are incapable of critical analytical reasoning, and we prove them right 100% of the time. My dear African/Nigerian, reasoning analyticall, I dare to tell you that Nigeria problems are NOT bad leadership, bad governance, bad management or corruption, but disfunctional political structure that is foundational/fundamental period. Hausa/fulani are custodian of this disfunctional structure. Bad leadership, corruption and etc, are symptoms of deep rooted foundational disfunctionalities.

My friend, the common enemy here is the disfunctional structure, of which you (hausa/fulani) are the gate keeper of. Is the root cause of poverty, underdevelopment, backwardness, disease, road accidents, corruption, ethnicity, religious extremism, bokoharam, fulani herdsmen slaughtering unhindered, born to rule mentality, power outages, Yoruba/Igbo rivalry, Niger delta militancy, overpaid senators, baby factory, migrant prostitution, Biafra separationist movements, short life span, arm robbery, rituals for money, fulani cattles on roads and farms, foreigners exploitation of Nigerians, no water, no public toilets, no under ground sewer systems, no security, devaluation of naira, oil subsidies, cut off exam mark for different regions, increase in heart attacks, kidney disease/failures, no hospitals, reasons we can't manufacture are own cars, caterpillars, weapons, televisions, telephones, computers, build strong social institutions, hausa/fulani marriage to this disfunctional political structure is the reason we all are living under the weight of a fragile state, and finally, is the reason, Nigerians do not feel they have a future, .......but they will give Buhari enough time to prove them right or wrong.
