Lagos is home. It is 51% Igbo.
We need more Igbo reps in Lagos

See this agaracha!! You mean you do not know where your village is located anymore in Ala Igbo? W

Alariwo2:
But Yorubas are contented in their region. You don't see them taking Odua day to Rives or Edo, it's always their zone.

Igbos own the largest oil blocks in SS by the way.. GEJ literally gave them control of Niger Delta oil so think well before you speak.

They own the largest oil blocks and they still claim they are marginalised? Chimo!!

Alcatraz005:
I hope this thread stays open till tomorrow. My detailed response to all these blackmail of not being Yoruba and my reason for being concerned for Yoruba Christians would be laid bare. I hate the fact that many Yorubas would try to hide the fear of millions of Christians in yorubaland. I would not be politically correct on this issue. I don't hate Muslims and my 2 best friends are Muslim.

I would respond fully tomorrow.

Which millions of Christians in Yorubaland are afraid? I haven't met any and I have spent several years living, studying and working in the South west, O!

omohayek:
I'm wondering if he isn't the same character behind the "ColonelDrake" account, a Yoruba-speaking Igbo guy thinking he's being clever by using religion as a "divide and conquer" tool against Yorubas. The two accounts have the same strange obsession with religion in a manner that has never mattered in Yoruba politics.

No Yoruba person cared about MKO Abiola being a Muslim, nor did Yoruba Christians flock to Obasanjo in 1999 simply because he was Christian, not even Yoruba Christians from his own Ogun state. The thought that loudmouth buffoons and opportunists like Fayose and FFK have any credibility amongst Yorubas because of their supposed "Christianity" is utterly laughable, and not the sort of thing any real Yoruba person would ever utter out loud: that alone is a giveaway to me that we're dealing with an Igbo who was likely raised in Yorubaland, and who is now using the Yoruba language skills acquired while growing up as a weapon to fool people online into buying his sectarian agenda. Only Igbos take Fayose and FFK the slightest bit seriously.

Hahahaha....... You hit da nail on da head!

Alcatraz005:
Your opinion bro. The target audience will read and digest the content of the post. Thanks.

Your post was quite disappointing to say the least. Mtcheeew....

RoyalUc:
...We should not allow hate for a people to blind us {All Nigerians, especially christians} to the danger we all face in the event that the bulwark of christianity in Nigeria {igbos} are finally subjugated...

No need reading further.

Who told you that the Igbo are the bulwark of Christianity in Nigeria? Where do you get such fairytales and exaggerated stories from??

Ereolamide:
Alcatraz005, all what you up there is pure and unadulterated balderdash, Yoruba Christians should be worried about the Muslims in our midst, our uncles, aunt, nephew and nieces who are Muslims because Yorubas hold post in various Muslims organizations? You are seriously mad!

Gani Fawehinmi was a Muslim lawyer that stood for the oppressed, he fought Abacha, Babagida, and other Hausa Muslims tyrants that oppressed Nigerians whether be it Muslims or Christians, why didn't he bend over for Abacha to kill Ken Saro Wiwa without opposition?

The same Tinubu you fools are accusing of leading Yoruba to slavery because he fought for a position for us at the federal level was against Abacha's government of oppression during the fiery days of Nadeco. Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu is a Muslim married to a devout Christian, same goes for Fashola, Saraki and many of our leaders, so you mean they'll close their eyes and let some Fulani overrun Yorubaland because of Islam, better put on a thinking cap.

What about the Muslims in Oke-Ogun that fought Fulani herdsmen to the extent of extinction, so much so that Buhari the grand patron of Miyetti Allah then had to rush down to Ibadan to appease Lam Adeshina against the onslaught of his people

I can go on and on about Yoruba that are Muslims that can and will never allow Islamic domination in Yorubaland.

Don't delve into issues larger then your mental prowess and you sound like an IPOB youth because your opinions are half baked slobbering.

Laudate, this thread might interest you.

You spoke well! Nothing more to add.....
I have watched your people for years, and the Yorubas cannot be split by issues like religion or petty trivia. That is why they keep confounding their detractors.

TheArchangel:
oh yeah. You ubiquitous version of the truth

Wow! You are seriously pained. Hehehe......

TheArchangel:
Your posts sickens me. So pardon me for voicing it out.

You are entitled to your opinion. I just pointed out the truth.

TheArchangel:
Laudate, you are a pathetic soul.

Eeyah! Na so dis matter pain you reach?

willibounce1:
Leave yoruba people alone. They are the least of your problems. Igbos are living peacefully everywhere in the SW. Nobody is killing anybody or making any trouble. Go to churches all over the SW, you see igbo and yoruba people worshipping together, yorubas , igbos, hausas and many other tribes are doing busisness peacefully in SW. No yoruba man is giving you any problem. Even in your SE, yorubas don't make any trouble with you, but instead of you to face your problems or make use of your head to avoid creating any problems at all, you create problems for yourselves and when the result comes out, you blame yorubas. Ya'll need to grow up and stop creating unnecessary enemies for the responsible igbos living peacefully outside the SE. You ipods are so full of senseless envy and hatred.

It is the same Yorubas that are speaking out against the the proscription of IPOB like Falana and Saraki. Where are the Igbo lawyers, SANs, retired judges? Why are they quiet?

Ereolamide:
I don't think it's wrong if the young man whether he's Yoruba or not decides to set the records straight, we're also here to learn one thing or another. Enlightening the netizens is one thing becoming a dumb olive branches waving koala is another.

The only problem I've with some Yoruba monikers is their political correctness in matters related to foes that would ridicule Yorubas if Yorubas are unfortunate to be in their shoes. This is exactly what the Hausa's had gotten right.

See bros - I get you! But my point is this: Isn't it ironic that it is lawyers from the tribe that the IPOBs love to hate, that are now the one with the courage to speak out against the army, saying that the proscription is wrong and objecting against the actions that have been taken so far against IPOB? Take note: none of the IPOB crew have chanted their usual 'Afonja' refrain against Saraki, simply because his stand seems to support their own position. Yet, the same IPOB crew will make a 360 degree turn tomorrow, to lampoon the man if he takes a different decision that does not favour them, no matter how correct, principled and truthful it may be! Like I asked before why are the prominent Igbo lawyers, SANs, retired judges keeping quiet over Kanu's matter?

In my own view, Kanu should be left alone (by people from other ethnic groups he has vilified) to carry his cross, and bear the repercussions of his actions and hate speeches!

Feraz:
When did LordAdam ever claim to be Yoruba? Even if he's Yoruba, have others of different ethnic groups not also debunked it?

I was not referring to Lord Adam, but Bukola Saraki. Wasn't it Bukola Saraki who said that the army's action against IPOB was illegal? So far, none of your people have risen to call him an 'Afonja,' like you all normally do on NL. Isn't if funny that it is people from another ethnic group like Falana, Saraki etc., that are pointing out that the army's actions are illegal? Where are your own lawyers? and SANs? How come we are not hearing shouts of 'Afonja' that your folks love chanting everyday?

LordAdam:
In June 2013, GEJ rightly declared Boko Haram and Ansaru as terrorist organizations.

But unlike the military did with IPOB, GEJ did not pull that pronouncement out of his hat.

It was based on an Order of the Federal High Court Abuja.

The proscription was pursuant to Section 2 of the TPA.

Furthermore, Section 9 of the TPA does not "makes express approval for the executive arm to immediately declare a group as a Terrorist group," as Cacawa2 wrongly asserted. Only Section 2 accords that authority. Section 9 clearly pertains to an individual rather than an organization.

Nigeria is no longer under military rule, so it is tantamount to usurping of powers for the Nigerian Army to unilaterally declare an organization a terrorist organization, and should be roundly condemned by all well-meaning Nigerians.

IPOB remains a lawful organization until a case calling for its proscription as a terrorist group is filed by the Attorney General of the Federation and a court of competent jurisdiction gives requisite order. Until then, the proclamation by the Nigerian Army is unconstitutional, illegal, and an affront to the rule of law.

-Lord

Where are those Yoruba chaps on NL? Come and see what is happening. One of your people that the ipob crew normally call Afonja is now the one supporting IPOB and telling the world that the proscription was wrong. How ironic! Wonders shall never cease!

Balkan:
are you you yet to realise that Naira land Mods, are trained and instructed to work against Igbos On NL

Stop telling lies! When your pro Biafra mods were banning people left, right and centre, you did not see it, right?

Kazim88:
Buhari government is just disgracing themselves...

Every step they take is a colossal failure...

Now that kanu has gone underground... how do you dialogue with the group...

How do you explain to Igbos, Nigeria and the world you did not attempt genocide

How would you handle the situation When North inevitably start to burn.

Genocide, kwa? you people like exaggerating sha!

dizzyime:
a legitimate Biafran question will be left in the hands of a hero like Kanu, and we will lose a brilliant chance to for the last time settle our disparities and reinforce the obligation of our nationhood. Buhari should give the courts a chance to choose Kanu’s destiny. He should discard the utilization of power and grasp exchange — on the grounds that in any case, a million pythons can’t move away the Biafra question!
Read more http://www.naijatrending.com.ng/politics/millions-python-dance-cant-stop-biafran-movement/

Which hero are you talking about? Oh you mean that coward Kanu that has gone into hiding after abandoning his people to the wrath of the Nigerian army?

henrychux:
It should not be labelled secessionist but the right word is agitation. They have not declared any Biafra republic yet. They want referendum or restructuring.. Don't allow hate to be loud your sense of reasoning. I am for justice and equity for ALL NIGERIANS irrespective of your tribe, creed, ethnicity. We definitely need each

Thanks,
Henychux

Which restructuring? Haven't they been shouting for a new country called Biafra? In fact Kanu's slogan was "Biafra or death. " When did they change their tune to restructuring?

jpphilips:
It will be better if you keep things in the right perspective, I read where Femi falana was analyzing the constitutionality of deploying the soldiers and he cited section 217 sub section 2c of the constitution which authorized the President to deploy the military in such regards to aid the civil authority, police in this case, the question folks like you should ask is; at what point is the police legitimately overwhelmed?

When they are all dead? when all their cars and stations are torched? how many police officers are posted to Abia state command? now compare with the population of IPOB? bear in mind that IPOB is a highly mobile group that can mobilize fighters in a matter of hours from other parts of the south east. Does the ratio conform to 1:3 directive on community policing? If the answer to all these concerns are NO then section 217 sub section 2c is activated at least that is what a sane head of state will do unlike the nematode we used to have in Aso rock.

This is the problem I see here, Nigerians have gotten used to the former feminist madam Jonathan, they have no clue what it feels like having a proper male president, they are so ignorant of everything except noise, imagine a man holding bottles and clubs in a protest calls himself an unarmed protester, that is the level of stup!dity we are dealing with in this country.
IPOB organises riots and calls it protest, how do you teach an artisan what a protest yellow line and right of way is? some of them seized the opportunity to burgle shops.

Believe me when I tell you this generation is finished!!

Again you nailed it! I may disagree with you on a few occasions, but this point you made here was just too much. Thank you for this beautiful analysis. Great job! �

OKorowanta:
I have not seen any single proof of Ipob violence since Kanu came on board.
Desperate mofos all out to prove they are violent just to justify the army onslaught.
God should have created me as a Malawian instead of sharing same country wit these blatant liars
who Buhari juju has brainwashed.

It is not too late. You can still apply for Malawian citizenship as fast as possible. Just google the requirements.

davodyguy:
I hope you saw the videos online. They aren't from me

Please stop responding to that irrational human being. He is ever ready to call black 'white ', as long as it favours IPOB. He can never stand on the side of the truth. If it was OPC or NDA or any other ethnic militia that did the same thing Kanu and his boys did, he would be the first one here shouting blue murder! Every evil or negative act done by IPOB is good in his eyes but every involuntary mistake done by any other group, is regarded as pre -meditated evil in his view.

Hmmm...... This is deep. May those who have ears to hear listen to these words of wisdom. And may those who have eyes to see, be able to read and apply their minds to the wisdom in these words. My brother daalu!

These people never cease to amuse me!

FemiFimile:
Stop quoting me pls, i am a lawyer and u are a lay man.

Wat i wrote is simply the law, wat u wrote is wat u think based on how u feel.

Oga do your research. Consult your colleagues that know about international law, before you start misyarning.

FemiFimile:
It has no legal foundation or roots, just a comment and not binding.

Let them pass law to ban IPOB.

It is unconstitutional to do so, until IPOB start killing Nigerians which they have so far not done.

If u ban IPOB, who will ban Islamic State and Boko Haram?

That statement is an illegality in itself as the Governor Forum has no constitutional power to ban freedom of association, freedom of speech and Right to assemble. These are core values enshrined in the Nigeria constitution. Even the Law Courts said IPOB was not an Unlawful organisation.

IPOB has a right to self determination within the confines of law as enshrined in the United Nation Declaration of Human Rights.

Y have dey not jail Nnamdi Kanu, if he and IPOB were so illegal.

This is wat my legal studies tell me.(just saying so dont attack me, i dont support IPOB)

You chaps make me laugh sometimes. Why? Because the govt can ban any organisation, as long as it is deemed that such an organisation constitutes a security threat. Each time you chaps quote the United Nation Declaration of Human Rights, as the basis for your self-determination, you forget to also note the aspect of international law that recognises the sovereignty of states, and supports the principle that those states have a right to guard their territorial borders. Conversely international law also notes that imposition by force of a border change, is an act of aggression. IPOB agitations, could be interpreted as an attempt to force a border change within Nigeria (i.e. because of their demand to carve Biafra out of Nigeria -something which would change Nigeria' borders), and that is enough to be regarded as an act of aggression.

Tolexander:
good!

These idle youths think the issue of secession is what they can handle with their childish mentality.

I remember these same IPOB youths bragging of the power they have cos of the concoction they were cooked in as initiation for recruitment, and allowance of 30k per month.

In Ebonyi State, they were misbehaving to the soldiers, Nnamdi Kanu leading the rally and disobeying the army's command. They were hailing him while he faced the army and telling them to shoot him.
At Ishi Gate in Umuahia, an IPOB youth had an encounter with a soldier, dispossessed him of his gun, wounded him and chest beating on his achievement.

They thought they achieved these by the manifestation of the concoction they were cooked in, not knowing that the python was only solemn and calm cos it hasn't been ordered to dance.

Now that the python is on the dance floor, where is the director?
Where is the effect of the concoction on the python?

Epic!! You deserve 1,000 likes for this post!

Episteme2:
Soliciting for arms or carrying arms, which should we be talking about? Don't forget, he is still in court with FG. So, why the show of force? Or have you found out you can't successfully and justly win him in court.?

This is a shocking question. Kanu boasted that he would raze the country to the ground, and it would be worse than Somalia. Did his words not contain a measure of force? The army simply decided to put his forceful words to the test, when they went to Umuahia & Aba.

I am just amazed that Kanu ran away with his tail between his 2 left legs when it was time for a showdown. But his running away did not even pain me. It was the way he abandoned his faithful and loyal followers, in the hands of the army. Maka why??

headhunter1:
what's this one saying?

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

Obi1kenobi:
I don't think you poor souls get the point. No one has called Igbokwe some great intellectual. The point is your jobless, charlatan tout is not worthy of the attentions of any so-called "intellectual". Igbokwe is the best he can get and is more than a match for him and has offered to give him the platform for a public debate. Acting like Igbokwe is somehow beneath Kanu is utterly laughable and an attempt to distract from the issues. You're high on cheap weed if you think a prominent Igbo son like Anyaoku or Ekwueme will stand on the same stage to debate a charlatan. And you furthered the comedy by mentioning Wole Soyinka. You people are mentally ill.

Time has proven Igbokwe, right! The same Kanu that was eulogised to high heavens on this board, absconded when the army turned the heat on him and his boys in Umuahia. He ran away with his tail between his legs, leaving his boys to face the music of the python dance being conducted by the army. See life?

lagosboyz4life:
wow

You can say that again!! And these are the same people now going around saying all Nigerians (including your own people) should rise and condemn the army for its activities in Umuahia, as a show of support for their brethren. Can you see the irony?

0m0nnakoda:
This strikes me as a good time to resurrect this illuminating thread

I had forgotten about this thread...!

0m0nnakoda:
Did you make that up or are you just parroting what you heard on Radio Biafra

What an epic response!! If one of your Yoruba men had done exactly what Stella Oduah did, by sacking the Igbo and replacing them with members of his own ethnic group, what do you think our friends from across the Niger would have said?
