This is a big problem, so if fashola will tax igbos and laeve yorubas, sometimes the way the yoruba man reason is baffling...now dont you know that the people that bears the brunt of taxation are the consumers which is you and me. If Fashola raises the bar, the businesses raises the price and consumer pay higher...who gains?


Secondly, igbos rae in lagos to dominate and expand their economic scpoe the way chinese are in lagos. Lagos is a winner takes it all, so wake up


oh i forgot every yoruba man is a lagosian

Taxation is a social contract in the traditional Yoruba society. Yoruba Obas were paid tax before the whiteman got here and we have not stopped observing that social contract and custom on account of our adopted Western ideals.

In contrast, taxation is a burden on Ibo society. So when you subject the two tribes to live under the same tax regime, Yorubas will take it in stride but Ibos will rebel. You then sell it to the rebels as a choice. Those who accept it are rewarded, those who reject it are penalized. Gradually you shave away at the rebellion and you end up with loyalists more commited to your cause than they care for their own root.

We did not start this today....we have centuries old institutions steeped in social engineering, you just happen to be our newest recruits.

Go and review complaints about toll gates on Lagos roads and see who the rebels are. Ibos!

Replay Ladipo market shut down. Replay the seal-off of Orji Uzor Kalu mansion. Cast them in the foreground of what you have learnt from me on this post.

A Yorubaman, an ex Governor at that, would take insult to being shut out of his mansion and would have sold tbe property and take his loss and vamooze. The rewards in Yorubaland have been roped around the Iboman's neck....he is eternally tethered, even if he wants to leave he can't.

Poor beings...messing with Yorubas!

When you hear kidnap, armed robbery....what group of people come to mind? Of course nau, omo nna.

“If Jonathan loses this election, he can still get whatever he wants. It is a matter of negotiation with Buhari, who had promised not to probe the past governments.

Unacceptable!!

We are not asking for change as a trade off....we are effecting a regime change, period! No, we are not interested in a message of "no victor, no vanquished".....there will be a victor on March 28th and its not going to be Jonathan.

Dr Fayemi, please guard your statements...reflect before speaking. The looser in any contest does not get "whatever he wants"!

Goodluck Jonathan is Nigeria’s first president not to have links to the military,

....I didnt know Shagari was an Army General!

Please go through news bulletins and see how many groups have denied claim of their endorsement of Mr Jonathan. You will count more than ten. It is pitiful to see an Ibo group also distancing itself from Jona.

In financial jingo, Jonathan has become a "liability'.

Everyone wants an "asset", right?

Kick out loss, bring in gain....bring in APC!

Like Jonathan brought the Presidency to a low, Fayose is bringing Governorship to a low.

This is a repeat Governorship experience for Fayose and this guy ought to be aiming for higher heights but instead he has locked himself into a corner.

I can visualize this guy, post May 29, going to Aso Rock to prostrate infront of Buhari asking for forgiveness....with a separate visit to prostrate to Tinubu at Bourdillon. This Governor has brought Ekiti into disrepute.

If Ekitigate had not been secretly taped and released, PDP's atrocities in Ekiti would equally have been dismissed as APC propaganda and the opposition challenged to provide proof.

"Clueless" is back in Yorubaland, his 8th trip there beteeen Feb14th and March 14th.

Where is his campaign team, why are they not out here working for their pay?

Internetpirate,
I find the Ika claim clearly dubious on the fact their custom is kindred more to the East than it is to the neighbouring cultures on their West and this is exhibited in social identities....
I don't know how Akanbi, an Ilorin indigene whose vernacular is distinctly a Yoruba dialect is going to deny being Yoruba because he is politically labelled a Northerner.

Nonetheless, I think you goofed with this statement:

Don't let inferiority conflict reduce you to being slaves!! You'd rather admit to being a Bini slave than an Igbo freeborn?

Are you guys aware one of the underlying reason people are reluctant to own up on their Igbo identity is due to repressive discriminative practices inherent in Ibocustoms...example, osu? It's unbelievable you will prop your offer for freedom delicately on a controvertible custom Igbo is popularly known for.

How come none of these 419 prophets and pastors that see things saw into the future that one of their own is about to be assassinated and warn him??

I cant believe my eyez...8pages of conversation and only 4 beautiful chicks show picture...

Let this be in America....Shanequa go don upload her face picture, her nails, her tittties, her butty, she go spread her thighs show you what she's working with.

She expects approval. If she thinks she's not catching your attention.....she will put on her daisy dukes, turn on video camera and pop...drop....and slide it!

To those 4 beautiful chicks that uploaded picture...mmmmmmmmmmwwwaaahh!! Mayor of Lagos appreciate you.

Who benefit from whhhat...

Haliee, you are beautiful.

The place is also very appealing.
I have an idea for you to turn this single visit into money making business. Are you interested? Let me know.

GenIgrigi:
**grins** What are you? Itshekiri or yoritshekiri like one Ola johnson from kabba? LOLS. You dey take orijin sip garri. I mentioned It's NASA pictures. Are you angry with America's NASA? Do you have a problem with map-reading? Pls Compare and contrast. **LOLS**

We dont have problem with map reading but you have a problem with map interpretation......calling furnaces industries! "Clueless", aburo Jona!

GenIgrigi:
**grins** The picture i gave you is a zoomed version of the one you have. An expo- travel down here in the east, go to Nnewi, Amawbia,Abiriba Ekwulobia, these are some Igbo budding cities with industries scattered all over them. The owners only rent warehouses in Lagos to reach endusers. You guys don't know whatsup. **LOLS**

Really?
Ordinary Niger bridge, a distance of 1.8km, and the gateway into your land, all five states put together no fit build. Meanwhile Fashola has used revenue taxed from your labor to erect a 1.8km bridge and then stationed a toll gate to further tax you as you ride the bridge to get to Lekki, where it is claimed Ibos own 80% of mansions.

Lol....you get mouth, but Yorubas got brains!

We shall make you a eternal labor slave in Lagos. You want to own Lekki? Come on and get it....go bring all your clan from village. ....but dont ever think of industrializing East, or you will anger our leaders, you dont want to upset Yoruba leaders.

GenIgrigi:
**grins** Vacuous crap, Don't you also claim to have more oil than Igboland in ondo and Lagos. Shouldn't we see more "gas flaring" in your land? Are the illumination in Lagos there because of gas flaring only too? Igboland is more industrialized than yorubaland. Keep thinking you are impeding Igbo progress while Igbos keep profiteering from Lagos infrastructures(owned by all) and building their cities. **LOLS**

If thats the case lets double the capacity of gas furnaces in Iboland so you can carry it as a badge of honor for higher capacity of oil production.

Mumu!

johnny1980:
This is the original picture not the doctored one you even have showing political locations and territories.

Next time when you to pass a fact. Be sure to verify the details before talking

Not Iboman! You can tell that to Yoruba or Hausa and he will self correct next time. Ibo is developmentally challenged!

johnny1980:
Did your geography teacher die while in school?

Google glass flaring images in Nigeria's delta and see what it pops up.

All those brightness you see is due to gas flaring at oil wells around those locations and not electricity.

Did I not say Ibo acts on impulse first and think later?
They are developmentally challenged....choosing always to position their wagon in front of the horse.

This picture is what they sell to their village heads who, convinced Iboman is the best of breed in Africa, in turn churn out rumors from the village mill for their migrant traders to broadcast.

Who in the West or North buy into this kind of bs...calling gas furnace a sign of industrialization....more like a sign of graveyard!

Obasanjo is not your president, Obasanjo is not asking for votes.

Set yout priority right....but just in case you are "clueless", your President is Commander-in-Cluelessness, Goodluck Jonathan.

MichaelSokoto:
Hundreds of Arewa leaders who received Kano State
Governor, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, in Lagos on Sunday,
said they rejected hundreds of thousands of dollars
which was offered to them by President Goodluck
Jonathan when the President visited the state two
weeks ago.
The leaders, who were drawn from the 20 Local
Government Areas and 37 Local Council
Development Areas of the state, distanced
themselves from the endorsement given to Jonathan
by a group.
Speaking during a meeting at the Ikoyi home of a
former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Tinubu, the
Chairman, Arewa Community in Lagos, Alhaji Sani
Kabiru, said those that endorsed Jonathan were
impostors.
He said on the day of the endorsement, some
people bought turbans at Agege and went to visit
Jonathan at the State House, Marina, posing as emirs
only to deceive the President.
He said, “When President Jonathan came to Lagos
with dollars, some of us here quickly went back and
gathered ourselves and started calling our own not to
go to visit Jonathan. I also commend some leaders
here for leading an offensive and convinced people
not to go there.
“Most of the Arewa leaders and ‘serikis’ did not even
go there to collect the dollars. At that event, card-
carrying members of the Peoples Democratic Party
bought turbans at the Central Market around
Moshalashi Bus Stop, Agege. The person that sold the
turbans told me that they dressed up as emirs and
they were on their way to Jonathan’s place.
“So, most of them were fake. They went to collect
dollars but cannot tell anyone because they are in
hiding. But we did not stop at that; those that we
knew that went, we called them to order and asked
them why they went but they said they only collected
dollars but they would not vote Jonathan.”
Kabiru said virtually all Arewa members had
collected their Permanent Voter Cards. He promised
to ensure one million votes for the All Progressives
Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.); and the state’s
governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode.
While fielding questions from journalists, Kwankwaso
berated Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, for
what he termed, “inciting comments.”
He said Fayose’s comments against the North were a
reflection of Jonathan’s temperament. He, however,
urged the people to express their choice at the polls
on March 28.
He said, “When I did my National Youth Service Corps
in Ogun State, I imbibed the belief that this part of
the country has people that are positively cultured
ranging from Obafemi Awolowo, Ernest Shonekan,
MKO Abiola, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Olusegun Obasanjo and others.

2yrs ago was before Stealer Oduah renovated it. Have you visited since she brought "freshair" into Yola?
. Chineke!

Wheree is Naabba PDP membership card?

I want tear am!

@op,
very informative piece, good job!

Look, let me tell you something....there are two ways to lock down Ibo's ego and overkill ambition.

First lets take a psychoanalytic look at Ibo.

1. He is not gifted in self reflection and restraint and thus is led foremost by his impulse to act, he only thinks afterwards, by which time relationships that deserve to be cherished and managed is damaged and ruined.

2. He is developmentally challenged in aspects of social order and ascent.

So how do you deal with him?

Two ways.

1. You can do what the Hausas do to him in North....which is to confront him physically and subjugate him to a position of "The Victim"! This is a direct class warfare and in the end Ibo accepts the Hausa as a upper class and submits himself to fate dictated by his oppressor. In other words, Ibo sees himself as "The Victim!

2. You can do what the Yorubas do to him in West....that is, give him access to what he wants and make it rewarding, then rope it around him in a way that detachment is almost impossible. In that aspect, the one who holds key to the reward also control the behavior of the seeker. In this end, the Yorubas created a labor class that is highly enriched and from whom it derives its own enrichment effortlessly. In this relationship, Ibo has come to recognize Yorubaland as their milk and honey and are so tightly attached to it that they have surrendered their fate and future to Yorubaland and begin to call it their own. Ibos have thus accepted Yorubas as the ruling class and thus always beg them to be accepted for inclusion in the administration.

Anytime the government try to industrialize and develop Iboland Yoruba leaders, same one that call themselves Ibo friends, go behind and kill the project. If Iboland develop, Yoruba policy to have a labor class in Yorubaland will be defeated as Ibos return home....therefore Yorubas develop Yorubaland and tell Ibo to come to West and use it...you dont need one in East.


So where does this put the Ika people?

First, you are claiming you are not Ibo but you continue to name your children Ikechukwu, Nnaji, Emeka, Iheneacho, Ifeanyi, ....if you come to Yorubaland and say " I am Ifeanyi" from Ika and Im not Ibo, how do you expect me to believe you?

Until you dissociate your social identity from Ibo...name, language, dressing, customs, ....you remain Ibo, I dont care if you are from Oshogbo!

Jonathan in this stance is how to describe a leader.
.

We asked for airport Stealer Oduah and "Clueless" gave us "sandport" in Yola and seaport in landlock Enugu.

Tufiakwa!

vote CLUELESS back to his fishing swamp in Otueke.

These are the handiwork of Stelaer Oduah. She was credited with reforming our airports all across this nation with renovations, on "freshair" scale.

This is true "freshair", no doubt!

See other airports she "freshaired" in picturea.

@Topic,
Some people, like the OP, are as clueless as their god in Aso Rock. What an absurd way to use the word "betray"!

Breaking News: SW has consistently demonstrated, openly, our choice of APC and Buhari. Even our Obas have not hidden their contempt for Jonathan and told him to his face they are not interested in his message.

So which one be betrayal here? Op is "clueless", go and learn how to apply words before you open another topic here.

Here he is at UN whistling to Oliver de Coque tunes when he should be focused on global matters under discussion. Look at the expression on his face, how does he appear to you?

I dont believe Netanyahu will appreciate being compared on a political scale of any kind with Nigerian "clueless" Jonathan.

This is a disservice to Israel.

Mr Utulu,
You left out bits and pieces of the puzzle.

The truth is bokoharam is a movement. Movements are non-perishable...when threatened with extermination they simply disband, in simple terms melt away, and reform with same ideology but with stronger consciousness and resolve at a later time and continue with the old struggle.

Bokoharam is a movement and had been in Nigeria as far back as the 60s, if not earlier. It was known as maitatsine!

The rulers in the North had a long and arms length knowledge and dealings with them. Over the years the policy of both the rulers and sitting Nigerian government was to contain them. In other words, if they keep to their belief and practice without chaos and disturbance in society they will not be bothered by goverment or its agencies. In fact, this arrangement and understanding is mirrored in the Nigerian Government understanding with MEND and delta militants...except for the monetary reward attached to the delta side and called amnesty. The policy has always been to disarm the movement and then contain it. This strategy is used universally.

So we should ask how and when bokoharam got out of containment and flared up into where we are now finding them severely unmanagable and uncontainable?

They remained contained under Obasanjo and YarAdua. How did Jonathan let the dog loose?
