Clown!

bee444:
The effect of social media on politics was clearly seen at the just concluded presidential election. The world has gone digital... the availability of technological gadgets in every household made the election even more reachable.

Children as early as 3 can now operate a mobile phone, and some more intellectual ones, a laptop or PC. People of all creed, tribe and beliefs now can express theirselves with just a push of a button. Every word, sentence or expression voiced or typed over these social medias now have governmental scrutiny. Fines and custodial sentences have been handed out to people who exercised their freedom of speech by either lashing out or cursing out their targets.

Govt can only act when the community scream injustice. The govt enjoy this social construct because people can no longer think logically. Only the wise respond judiciously to alleged taunt or threat. The unwise are quick to open their mouth. Uche Jombo falls in this category.

We have three major languages in Nigeria... Yoruba, Hausa and Ibo (Igbo). And all these tribes have in one way or the other have had a fair share of what it is to be a fruitful Nigerian. But then, one out of these tribes often see itself as a minority... a prospective which is still oblivious to the rest 2 and other minority groups.

The Igbos can not and should not in any way equate itself to African-Americans. The Igbos have not in any way been subjected to segregation or were they in any form a slave within a slave colony ( even as we live in a republic). You are what you are in the world.

Even as the presidency rotation has eluded the Igbos for the past decades, they still don't get it. You're and will always be a shadow of yourself. The Biafra mentality still plays a pivotal role in the thinking of this particular tribe. Unless you let go, and embrace One-Nigeria, you will always see yourself as a easy target.

The Yorubas love the Igbos and would live peacefully with other tribes and race. But there are always scepticism about the Yorubas from the Igbos perspective...history tells us the reason why.

People are now becoming social media addicts and wouldn't allow sense of reasoning to do the work, but rather would leave it to some foreign ideas to cloud their judgements.

Too much sentivity on the Oba's comment. You can even crack a joke or call a fat person fat these days without being threatened or barricaded with hate words.

May be I'm not been realistic, but does it seem that the Oba's comment was just a final straw in what seems to be an accumulated grudge against the Yorubas?

I'm neither Igbo nor Yoruba but a true Nigerian.

Dont deny ur tribe ore. Omo yoruba ni o

dulux07:
Yorubas r closer to igbos than any other tribe, yorubas dont hate n jealous igbos n vice versa, wats der to jealous. Being called omo igbo, is nt an abuse, jst d normal slang it simply means ibo boy, same as the way we call hausas Abokii or malam, does not mean we hate them, wen i was in southsouth i was refer to as yoruba guy, n its no big deal. The only thing yoruba critize igbos r their troblesome attitude n thirst for money, whch does not imply to all ibos. Fashola does not hate igbos, he n okorocha r good friends, it might interest u to know that its an igbo man thatz in charge of lagos state budget, i.e commisioner for economic plannin n budget, which can never happen in ibo land

You hate money abi! Ur oba just shat with his mouth because of d constant egunje he receives from apc politifcians. Igbos are not troublesome because I have never heard any igbo leader in d east threatening any yuropeen for any reason at all.

Atlantian:
This OP needs mental rehabilitation. Here I am in Lagos, I am NOT Igbo, yet Igbos are the major victims of attacks of the Yorubas. Most times, I am called Omo Igbo, and even when I am not. They just hate Igbos out of Jealousy. From the Governor of Lagos, Fashola to the Oba of Lagos. It just shows that the tribalism and hate is a part of the Agenda of this APC Government.

I ask the Igbos NOT to be cowards or be scared, ofcourse they are not. And I want the Yorubas to know that when people are pushed to the wall, they will react, and when they do, Lagos will be destroyed and the Igbos have a home to return to. Will the Yorubas have a new home to return to ?

This hate at higher level of leadership hierarchy have to STOP.

God will definitely bless you.

nikkiehan:
u beta go fenk her na gf she be o nt yet ur wife o. dis thing no be food nah, twice in a week is too much sef.

U dint read what d op wrote at all u only read what d dude with red ink wrote.

dharay99:
wait, so are u saying twice in a week neva do u.?

Hmmm.....u are going places mahn.

He said once in 2 weeks

If u ask me... na who I go ask?

Arsss licker!

Ikengawo:
[size=50pt]EVERY ELECTION IN NIGERIA IS ABOUT IGBOS[/size]

[size=40pt]WE ARE SPECIAL![/size]

Yeah! Yeah! The way obas crowded jona b4 d elections in d sw abi. Dnt worry Igbos will vote agbaje (out of curiosity).

Is it only igbos that are the non yuropeens in lagos?
U yuropeens hate igbos so much yet u cant do without us.

Larryfly:
But seriously Joke's comment got me thinking. They were igbos there when he made the statement and they applauded......what does that mean?
Are we not blowing it out of proportion?

There were also yoruba pple there has it occurred to u that they were d ones clapping?

Mariojane:
you all are taking paracetamol over someone else headache. cant this story just die down and Nigerians live as one?

You are a yoruba man thats why u can say this.

Dat niggur aint igbo, even if he is he has been brainwashed. We call people like him ndi igbo lagos.
Check properly a yoruba man is feeding that foool.

U sef greedy! Why did u bother to call? U have wasted ur call credit, u are d dunce here.

Achebe talk am oh!

Zuria:
Who were those clapping in the video?

His palace guards

PenSniper:
Agbaje or Ambode makes no difference so neither will tolerate traitors. You claimed to have armed yourselves and marked choice targets, whatever that means. You will soon learn that words are sacred. Be ready. It will only come to kill and be killed and if it comes to that be assured that no single igbo man or woman, young or old would leave Lagos and SW alive. You can neither go by air nor sea and the land route is long, tortuous and unfriendly. Colateral damage would be much for sure. When the burble bursts, the constitution becomes mear paper.

Have u experienced war before? Fooool!

silverdam:
Most successful? In which part of the country?

Keep deceiving yourself.

All tribes are successful irrespective of their career, so stop deceiving yourself with this untrue comment.

Nobody hate the igbos, but honestly charity begins at home, I'm sure these igbos have their hometown.

I'm 100 percent sure Rita Dominic doesn't have PVC, she won't even vote like every other igbos.

Vote wisely, that is if you have PVC sef.

Then why is ur oba scared of the igbos!

All these yorubas that hate igbos n want us all dead. This is ur chance, join hands and vote agbaje so the ur oba can do ur dirty work. Fuckktards!

MizMyColi:
Easy with the heaping of curses o

The man don reach to grandfather most of us.

No reasonable grand father will spew the sh¡t he just did.

dayo23:
I still doubt if he makes those comment, it a twisted interpretation.

Anyway, Ambode must be Governor of Lagos!

Watch d video na!!!!!! And kill ur doubt.

gabe15:
fool oloshi

Go and die!

phabuloz:
Even God told ISAAC to tell the king that SARAH is his sister,so sometimes,lies are needed to be lied

Isaac key! U dey read ur own bible backwards?

kastonkastrol:
op, buhari simply means he will not accept the privatization of NEPA to PHCN which was done by jonathan's administration. I believe he wants the power distribution company to be run by government again.

Dem go soon make u him interpreter. So that u go dey breakdown everything him say

Buhari should prosecute those thieves even if they sell for 10 naira. They have made billions fleecing the masses while GEJ turned a blind eye to the massive rip off. Its a shame the Igbos are calling him a hero for been a sore election looser and accepting defeat for the fear of going to Jail in ICC [/size]

Biaaaaach!

If something like this is happening after 16years of PDP rule then I can say the north was right to vote out PDP. These people are so wicked that once they are in power they care less about those who voted them in. What is the joy in looting billions of dollars and people die of poverty and drinks same water with goats? How much will a community bore-hole cost this wicked outgoing PDP government? And some dumb Igbo guys will call GEJ their hero for been a sore election looser and accepting his loss. Will Mandela, Nkrumah or Even dictator Ghadafii sit and watch his people drink with goats?


GEJ IS A FAILURE AND HE IS NO WHERE AMONG AFRICAN GREATS [/size]

Shut up, the north has ruled for 34 years, why dint they do anything for their people all these while?

OsoDupe:
It's been their practise for years, when I was a kid, a neighbour do invite us to one of such gatherings with a stern warning to us not to collect the bread and wine. There is only one old man in d congregation that we heard do collect it.

Then why share it when no one takes is.
