May I ask you in confidence.are there no othe tribes living in Lagos? As a person what wrong has an igbo man done to you.know yoruba living in igbo land without any prejudice against them. When jonathan won in 2011 did anyone feel Yoruba or housa lost? I was told politics is a game of interest where winner must emerge.when has it become an offence to have ones candidate loose. I am yet to understand all these. If igbos did not support one candidate mostly other tribes say igbos are not one. With jonathan,I think they have been speaking as one great mind in politics even when they have lost yet it is used againts them. What do yorubas want of Igbos?

They've never threatened him because Igbos do not have the liver to call Kaduna a no man's land.

Keeping Malice is a "Lagoon Spirit".

Typical Igbo bit.ch haha instead of you guys trying to claim that you're God's chosen ones, why don't you all humble yourselves and cooperate with others, maybe then your people wouldn't receive this much animosity.

Oh get out! You're just like everybody else. You know as great as China and Japan are, you rarely hear them boast of the marvelous achievements that they've accomplished. You people claim to be the victims of mass persecution, but most of the time you bring it on yourselves.

Aside the excessive audacity which breeds arrogance and pride with Igbos, This is the part i like about Igbos...Everything is business...let truth be told. Igbos are way ahead in business in Nigeria.

I entered Ladipo market one day and couldnt find one shop owned by a Yoruba man in the two hours i spent there. I think business is genetic for them. can you remember the ''my oga at the top stuff'' while some of us typed on the internet, Aba boys were thinking business. Mbaka spoke against GEJ, few days after, (Mbaka but why T. shirt was all over the market). They seem not interested in white collar jobs like every other tribe. If we have more entrepreneurs, the faster we come out of the corruption in public and civil service.

When i finished NYSC, i was retained in the bank with one Emeka boy..I remember during the interview, one of the panelists said, Emeka, you are supposed to be in Aba or Alaba, what are you doing here? the Igbo jokingly said, its capital am looking for..six years after, the Igbo boy resigned, we never knew he was combining banking with real estate business..on saturdays he was a house searching agent. he told me he sold two houses in Ikoyi and resigned...

Till i left the bank, his salary account was in millions...doing so well in business, the latest he told me last year was that, one of the panelists in that our interview is now his account officer...I just love the business part of them and maybe the way they adore their wives and children. They take family very seriously. Emeka is so wealthy and lavishes his wealth on his wife and 3 boys. Needless to say he inspired me into business and i am doing well too, but not anywhere near Emeka.

Throw them into the Lagoon and see the potentials of that water developed by them. Business is a spirit in them most of us find difficult to appreciate.
