EternalTruths:
Are we crying to you for help.

You brother opened this stupid thread to beg us.

We are all brothers in the struggle. If it is brother by tribe, I'm Efik, he's not. But being a Nigerian, he is my brother. Don't taunt him for my decisions.

The reason for this thread has since been defeated. We are repeating the exact same thing the thread seeks to cure.

Nairaland shouldn't just be about Igbo/Yoruba hate. Not everyone that voted against Jonathan is wrong. If you read through my write-up, I stated that I am Efik and same can be tested. There are persons scattered across the country who supported Buhari other than the Yorubas.

I concede Buhari isn't right now the best choice, but many of us were left with no choice. Now if we decide to go on hating and do not make the choice of working together, we all will have ourselves to blame, and no one should then lay the blame at the feet of any one tribe.

gidgiddy:
These Yorubas are funny. In 2015 when Buhari was their candidate, it was change! Change! Change!

They bragged about how they were the king makers

Now that Buhari has shown them that he is even more clueless than GEJ, they are now looking for "Southern Unity"

The same unity they did not care about in 2015 when GEJ was the candidate of the SE/SS.

They stabbed their Southern comrades in the back in favour of the North.


Now that 2019 is around the corner, they have remembered Southern unity?

The day Igbos and Yorubas are no longer in one country will be the best thing for us Igbos

Not everyone that voted against Jonathan is Yoruba. I wonder why every argument on Nairaland is reduce do Igbo/Yoruba war.

I concede. We made error in voting Buhari. What more do you want than a person acknowledging his mistake. It was a mistake however made in good fate as Jonathan wasn't the best for Nigeria.

Deprofessional:
Southern solidarity was killed and buried by the Yorubas in 2015.

Bros, forget about southern unity, it will never happen.

Vote for your Buhari, we will vote for our candidate.

If your Buhari wins, we will continue to live with it because we Igbos have an instinct for survival.

My guy I can't live with it. Believe me you, your immediate family can't. If you were so rich to buy 3 cars, now you can only buy 1. So even the rich is affected.

SW/SE we have more in common than we think.
We only choose to see our differences.
There is power in Unity. Ask North.

Abro see we biafrans got nothing in common with you guys (Zoogerian republic a.k.a shithole)

You change jona because of we biafrans, you people just wanted to prove to biafrans that you own Zoogerian, without thinking a dummy like buhari became a choice to you people that are very educated but stupid...Tufiakwa
Enjoy your stupid change while it lasts





@ the end biafra will come

Wrong. I am Nigerian till death. This is not a thread on the issue of Biafra. If it is, my father is Efik, my mother is Ibibio, but you see; the bigger vision is nothing is wrong with Naija, but it's people. We aim to cur e that.

EternalTruths:
Not necessary

2015 was the final test.

Wrong my friend. We all are living with the choices we made in 2015. The choice we make now to work together in the overall interest of the South will shape post-2019. Choose wisely.

DocHMD:
Na so una dey always talk when slammed for being silly.

We Igbo have photographic 3D memories. An important asset you must acquire by evolution if you must survive in the zoological space.

You repeating same write-up is aiming to combat.

I come in peace my friend.

bakynes:
I am Afonja as rightly termed by Igbos and I support the need for both Major ethnic group in the South to work together to take our destinies away from these Born to rule Hausa-Fulani. But before any peace pact can be drawn on Nairaland, Igbos most refrain from calling Lagos "a no man's land". We agree all Nigerians have contributed to the Developement of Lagos but it is still our ancestral land that has had huge advantage over any state in Nigeria by virtue of the early Portuguese traders and the British colonialist.

I campaigned in my own little way for Buhari in 2015 as I also campaigned for GEJ in 2011 and now I support the removal of Buhari by the use of our votes.

Igbos must understand that many Yorubas did not vote out GEJ because he favoured Igbos more, we simply voted him out because of how he allowed Corruption to fester in his Govt. So it was never a mistake voting out GEJ and now we must also vote out Buhari in 2019.

The only way we can salvage our destinies away from the Northern Oligarchy is only if these two major tribes to work hand in hand together especially the Yoruba Christians and Liberal Yoruba Muslims.

Even as a Yoruba man I know we have some Extremist Yoruba Muslims who always support the North over their tribes men but these extremist Yorubas are few in Numbers compared to the Yoruba Christians and Liberal Yoruba Muslim.

Yorubas,Igbos,SS minorities and non muslim minorities of the Middle Belt can work together to overturn the core North's dominance.

True words. We all must learn to respect one another's customs, values and peculiarities.

I really share your sentiments.

DocHMD:
I remember you. A hateful anti-Igbo bigot that was once chased away from the forum by the Igbo nationalists for being senseless. Welcome back to common-sense.

Sorry the only point where there can be a possible unity between the Igbo and yoruba is when we all decide that everybody must have their own country and grow at their own pace without being bugged down by fulani liabilities.

Well I respect your opinion of issues. But to set records straight, I'm not Anti-Igbo as I have Igbo nephew and nieces. And I wasn't chased out, but have never really been active on here as too much hate is spewed on here.

Bless you.

Historically, Igbos/Yorubas have at different times had differences as much as they have co-operated on a number of issues, but both sides have never been at logger-heads and spilled hate as seen in recent times since activities culminating to the 2015 elections and there after.

However we all will agree that nothing is beneficial to the entire South as much as a coalition between both major tribes of the South.

This plat-form is a medium to call for the unification of the South. We have all made mistakes, whether from voting Buhari or from hating other tribes for exercising their right to vote on someone we all reasonably thought will solve the Nigerian question.

I am Efik, I grew up in Edo, but took sides with the people of SW, not because I'm a bigot, but because many of us saw Jonathan as having failed us; please bear in mind I supported Jonathan in 2011. However, I have since dropped the Buhari campaign train following his poor handling of the herdsmen rampage.

While I ordinarily will not canvass politics predicated on tribe or religious sentiment, but issue based politicking, it is important we put an end to the constant e-wars as I believe doing so on Nairaland will go a long way influencing our relationships off and online.

SW/SE we have more in common than we think.
We only choose to see our differences.
There is power in Unity. Ask North.

2019, bring in Donald Duke, Adesina, Fashola or Emefiele for Presidency. Call for a technocrat.

Ngozi123:
I'm glad that you pointed this out. Pray tell, how exactly did Lagos become such a big contributor to Nigeria?

Good leadership. You'd agree if Bihari was governor of Lagos state since 1999 or even Good luck, what Lagos will be..,no more than Bayelsa. Look at Bayelsa and Delta with all they have.

Lagos is what it is because of leadership.

[quote author=Ngozi123 post=651014y70]Didn't read, lol. [/quote]My guy try read am. It is quite educative. Arguments aside!

USAbabe:
U think is all dat ? tomorow they will still come up with another law maybe this time it will be if cant speak yoruba no work for u.


i get it


i think is time for other tribe to follow this step there everybody will mind his or her business


Niger delta should take full ownership of there oil now . what is good for tom is good for dick

Who says Niger-delta is not using their Oil "to do yanga?" I reside in Benin since birth till date. My father is Efik, so I am very much SS. Niger-delta has been holding Naija hostage because of its oil, it does what it likes and FG can't complain cause it owns the oil. It has 13 percent derivation and are calling for more. In fact South especially SE has supported them, but the SE refused to support Lagos when Lagos wanted special status, and even opposed the admission of Lagos into Oill Producing States. They only appreciate one Nigeria and claim Lagos when convenient, but refuse to support Lagos when necessary.

Netanyahu1:
Guy I don't have any problems with paying tax, in fact I have my merited tax clearances. For 2016 and about to file for 2017.

It's not about opening threads like you want to be seen, one is enough only ignorant people talk about taxes without tax filing , returns and related matters. What's there to comend about a government that keeps talking about citizens paying taxes knowing fully well that most of them don't even know thier duties and rights as regards filing taxes paying the government back taxes and getting returns if they paid too much?

While your effort at being patriotic is commendable, I ask again; is the LASG not deserving of commendation for putting in place mechanisms to tackle over-taxation?

Netanyahu1:
Name the country where people don't get tax refunds?

The subject is about subjecting "poor folks" to tax. Create a thread on tax refund and we'll debate on that.

In any case, your fears as expressed is part of the reasons for LIRS introduction of automative tax collection. That is being proactive, so you should commend that.

Jupxter:
Deceive yourself

I asked a question sir. Questions elicit answers and with due respect sir, the question was never answered.

SmartMugu:
Lagos State just wants money by all means necessary.

You keep complaining it is Federal Government that is developing Lagos, yet cry fowl when Lagos government decides to generate it's money.
How really do you expect the government to cater for the needs of millions of Nigerians living in that small city.

You lots fail to talk about your state governments and their achievements. Please shun statements driven by tribal hate. No country develops using leaf from trees.

Jupxter:
elitist government always looking for where to steal from

Name the country where tax isn't paid by both the poor and the rich.

And last time I checked, the poor don't really use hotels and event centres in Nigeria as the rich. Do they?

Eko no go baje. Lai Lai. How a state thinks ahead of a country beats me.

In compliance with tax payment, Nigeria ranks very low on the index, how then do we think we'll develop our infrastructure? In Benin, prior to Obaseki coming on board, Na Agberos de chop the tax, if you see their chairmen, you go know wetin tax money fit do; they live like politicians.

Electronic means of collecting tax is the way to go.

DonBenny77:
So you were a zombie?

No! I am a patriotic Nigerian averse to Biafra till date. Are you?

I used to be a Buhari die-hard supporter even when it became increasingly difficult to support him, you can check my post-history.
However, the fulani killings is Buhari's archilles-heels. Just like Boko-haram sent Jonathan home, Buhari should follow suit. We can all deal with corruption but not insecurity. Every life matter.
If you voted against Jonathan because of Boko-haram, you'll be an hypocrite if you don't return same favour to Buhari because of fulani-killings.

spartacus11:
The wake and see Governor, ride on sir
Edo In Safe Hands

Hehehe. So thisen name don cast? With that I know you reside in Edo. I reside in Edo too and believe me, the guy's strides is unprecedented.

Indeed he knows his onions. Anyone who has been to Benin in recent times will admit same.

A

A set of Nigerians from a particular tribe used to support Trump but it seems they are beginning pull back. Ask why! Maybe the dudes Immigration policies is beginning to touch on their relatives. Oh maybe they figured out too late that Trump hates black since "Charlottesville."
Oh no, Trump couldn't stop terrorism and gin violence even after stricter immigration rules.

At least she has the right to air her views.

That stands her out from perhaps thousands who silently observed the "remixing" of tradition and just grumbled to themselves silently.

Where her right ends, Banky's right begins. His marriage shouldn't be her business. If she wants to assert her right, it shouldn't be over another person's.

yeyerolling:
Must we copy oyinbo

Tell us the problem with inviting investors via sports or walking the talk about sports development.

Shey na Nigeria get foot ball, Mr why copy oyibo?

As much as I support the proscribtion of IPoB and the sanity being enjoyed since then, I do not think IPOB is capable of such act of threatening the Commander-in-Chief. They are not that foolish not to understand implications of that.

I notice that since their proscription, they dont go about brandishing IPOB insignias; that means they understand the implication of every action.

The economy is really bouncing back. A lot of effort has been put in but trust Nigerians never to appreciate it cause down here it is easier to criticize than proffer solutions. APC equally criticized PDP and realized it isn't that easy governing a nation plunged into a debilitating state by many years of military incursion.
I pray we grow to a stage of objective criticism.

Better days ahead with the quick reeling out of the BUDGET. We've learnt our lessons I guess.

That means the election boycott was not successful. Nigerian politicians are pro.

And tomorrow they'll say Lagos is developed because it's a former F.C.T, forgetting the city is investor friendly.

Why will we have investors when their lives are not secure? And yes my mother is from Eket in Ikot Udoma, Akwa Ibom.

NwaAmaikpe:



With all due respect,

The Oba of Benin is just a confused fool.

Two days ago he was in shrine,
Yesterday he was with Tagbo's murderer,
Today he is in a church.

Our God can not be mocked.
The word 'Church' is synonymous to Christianity not Idolatry.

That is not a church. It is called Holy Arousa. The poster labelled it wrongly.
It is the traditional worship center of all Obas from his forefathers.

Oba gha' to Kpere.
