LAGOS—Three persons were shot dead
yesterday, during a shootout between
hoodlums and some officers attached to
the Federal Operations Zone A, Ikeja,of the Nigerian Customs Service, NCS, at White Sand community in Ijora Badia area of
Lagos State.Three others, among who was a Customs officer, also
sustained gunshot injuries.
Troublestarted, Monday, following a clash between Hausa and Yoruba residents over accusation by the latter that
the former had been terrorising the area.
A resident, Tajudeen Shamsudeen,
explained that a boy, identified as Ojo, said
to be on his way home, was allegedly
stabbed to death by some Hausa boys.
Shamsudeen said: “For long, these Hausa
boys have been attacking people here.
They waylay people, dispose them of cash
and belongings. Even rulers of both ethnic
groups are aware of the issue.”
The attack on Ojo, according to him,
sparked a riot during which dangerous
weapons were freely used by both parties.
But for the timely arrival of policemen
from Ijora Badia, the situation would have
assumed a violent dimension. 10 persons
were said to have been arrested in
connection with the unrest.
Demolition
Vanguard gathered that demolition of
shanties in the troubled community
started yesterday morning.
While unconfirmed reports had it that it
was on the order of the state government,
the Hausa alleged that the demolition was
carried out in their places of abode only.
While the demolition was ongoing, some
Custom officers, who residents alleged
were invited by the Seriki Hausa, stormed
the community in three patrol vehicles at
about 2.30p.m. They were alleged to have
fired sporadically to scare off some
hoodlums, who were roaming the area.
The hoodlums were said to have resisted
the Customs men, who allegedly attempted
to stop the demolition, an action that led
to a shootout, during which three persons
were felled by bullets.
One of the bullets from the hoodlums hit a
Customs officer. The Customs men then
fled the scene, heading towards Apapa.
As at 5p.m., Vanguard gathered that the
injured officer was being treated at the
Lagoon Hospital, Apapa, with two police
patrol vans stationed within the hospital
premises.
One of those hit by a stray bullet was
Azeez Tajudeen. Eyewitnesses said he was
first taken to the police station for a police
report, before being rushed to an
undisclosed hospital.
Police story
Confirming the incident, the state Police
Public Relations Officer, Dolapo Badmus, a
Superintendent of Police, however, said
only one person died, while two others
are recuperating in the hospital.
She said:”The community and the police
were on a joint operation of raiding black
spots within the community and arresting
suspected criminals yesterday.
“In the process, some officers of the
Nigerian Customs Service officers, who
were with officials of the National
Emergency Management Agency, NEMA,
had an encounter with some of the
hoodlums.
“They fired some shots and three people
were hit. As a result, one death was
recorded, while two others are receiving
treatment in the hospital. Policemen are
not involved.”

Lagos may be linguistically weak in Yoruba due to urbanization and the presence of other tribes and foreign nationals living in it especially in the high-end expensive areas, however in certain areas of it the language is still there for non-Yorubas to pick up if they are interested. Looking back at history, Yoruba may hold sway in the Nigerian music industry because Lagos is the centre of it all, the very place where early Nigerian-style music started from. Being a Yoruba-speaking state, it was easy to infuse Yoruba elements here and there into songs produced which sold all over Nigeria, which spread the knowledge of those words nationwide. Just as Igbos hold sway in the movie production aspect of Nigeria, movies of which are popular all over Nigeria, Africa, Caribbean etc., it is common to meet other Africans who know words such as Igwe, Nna anyi, biko etc.

One thing I do know about Yorubas is their affinity for their culture and more tendency to hold on to or retain their culture anywhere. A few times I've seen a Yorubas here in the US speaking their language loudly without much care. They take pride in their language. It is a good characteristic. However, the survival of Ifa in Brazil and co. is mainly because Yoruba slaves arrived South America as indentured servants (indentured servants had more rights and were often paid for their work) mostly at the end of the slave trade in the late 18th century after the slave trade had been officially abolished, leaving them much freedom and allowance to practice their culture than the earlier slaves that arrived at the peak of slave trade (when slave masters forcibly eliminated all traces of their culture and they were forced to acculturate to their new environment). Being the last of tribes to arrive, their connection to their culture was the strongest. Yoruba slaves arrived south america to meet other slaves, majority born there compared to the foreign-born Yorubas, who had long been acculturated to their new environment with little or no connection to their African roots. To them, the introduction of Ifa by Yorubas served as a connection to 'mama Africa', which still continues till today.

In all, the Nigerian music industry has been long influenced by Yoruba language. P Square, during an interview, once said that, as an uprising artiste back in the early 2000s, one would have to sing a song or two or add Yoruba words to one's songs for it to sell, and they did sing one or two songs with Yoruba lyrics such as 'ore mi', 'kolo', etc. However, I've noticed that as these musicians rise to fame they switch to their original language and Pidgin as they realize they no longer need to sing in Yoruba for the fame since they are now famous. As P Square became famous, we had Igbo songs from them such as 'Ifunanya', 'Beautiful Onyinye', 'Bunie ya enu', etc. with occasional songs with Yoruba once in a while. This shows how influential Yoruba was back then in the 2000s. However, I do think that in recent times the influence of Yoruba on the Nigerian music industry has waned. With the way things are now, upcoming artistes nowadays do not need to sing in Yoruba to be famous. Artistes such as Flavour, Phyno, Nigga Raw, Zoro etc. from the eastern side are popular artistes in Nigeria who grew to fame by singing mostly in Igbo. Not only Igbo artistes, even some Yoruba ones too. Korede Bello is a Yoruba artiste (correct me if I'm wrong) who grew to fame without the Yoruba influence by singing mostly in pidgin, and especially who grew under the tutelage of Don Jazzy. Adaobi, which Korede Bello featured in, grew the guy to fame.

i wonder who ever nurtured the thought that yoruba dominated the music industry. They only dominated afro beat which is their brand of music. But when you talk of highlife you know where the masters are. I grew up hearing songs of Osadebe , oliver de coque, oriental brothers and celestine ukwu etc even nico mbaga who wasnt Igbo sang in Igbo and was very popular. Most of Onyeka onwenus songs are in Igbo but she is nigerias greatest female artiste ever. The fact that some pple easily get excited when pple use their language doent make their language more famous. Nowadays sef. Igbo lang. has almost completely taken over the industry. Most popular non igbos sing in igbo.

So far the person in question did not kill jungle justice should not be an option. This is wickedness of high order and i am ashamed of this news. If their children or wards are the ones involved they would sing a different song.

They are soiling the land.

Ironically Most of them are on facebook telling Americans why they shouldn't vote Trump.

I won't even waste my breath in your ignorant village rant..

yes... Truth hurts.

Yujin:
OP, though I understand where you are coming from, you still need to be corrected. Asaba was formally in western Nigeria and was known part of what was called western Igbos by the British. Then, they were carved into the mid western region together with Benin shortly before the civil war. It was gowon who formed the first states that put Asaba into the old Bendel state. At present, they are part of Delta state after ABacha formed Delta and Edo states from Bendel state. So traditionally, Asaba though being Igbos were not part of eastern Nigeria. Let this put a permanent 'shut up' to mischief makers.
Nne, continue with your thread.

you are correct. But your explanation is on the political geography aspect. Most places in the so called 'south-south' actually fall within the geographical southeast. Places like cross Rivers and akwa ibom are even more south eastern than the political south east. If you hear foriegn media report events in asaba or Rivers state, they call them SE nigeria b'cos they rely on simple geography and not geopolitical categorization in Nigeria.

alade112:
Why are u guys like dz Who mentioned igbo on dz thread nw Why can't you create your own Igbo Words And Phrases That Has Gone Global Hatred go just kill U for nothing

but the op mentioned Igbo in the Eba stuff. Why do u think the person u quoted lack moral right to replicate the gesture?

hama20:
Nigeria is showing every attribute of a failed state, What surprises me is how a supposed sane and rational mind still manages to believe things would improve without restructuring , referendum or anything different from this status quo. When I see people shouting Nigeria will be great even in the face of the obvious structural flaws, Am left with the conclusion that majority of Nigerians are not sane

politics make people insane

An0nimus:
hope all is well?

is that a question or a statement?

She then learnt a very important lesson- minding one's own businness is a virtue.

When she reached home she became like this...

She left and the man followed her like this...

In the man's house, this happened...

When op decided to visit the man people were cheering her.

She was like...

Funny...NTI does not feel bothered about the statement because they are also a sort of regulatory agency for teachers and as far as recognizing those degrees and certiticates are concerned, they are a major stakeholder. Even those who obtained degrees in other schools still need to register with them. So its not as easy as NUC thinks.

Nevertheless, NTI should get accreditation for their PGD programmes only and jettison the idea of awarding bachelors of education 'cos its not acceptable.
Nigeria is rotten. Every org. View their mandate in terms of revenue and bribery avenue, even NUC too. Otherwise, how come it they are declaring a programme that has run for years illegal, a programme that some lectureres and profs already attended. All for bribery.

babyfaceafrica:
likewise an hausa man in abia state

i wasnt the fellow that talked abt unity. So u lots should stop being hypocrites.

...but an Igboman becoming lagos governor is not good for unity of Nigeria

pls stop sounding hypocritical. The idea of 'national unity' becomes important and must be encouraged when it favours some pple

you are shamelessly telling people that patriotism and nationalism are so lacking in Nigeria that a superstar featuring another musician must be viewed with the motive of achieving some phantom and inexistent unity in the country.

I dont blame you 'cos you've not been taught a lesson in Nigeria. Even Onyeka Onwenu that sang one love later admitted that Nigeria is not one.

phykiesexy:
It is not igbophobia. Ask any Delta igbo if dey re ibo dey would say No wid all deir strength. I noticed it time and time again in my stay in Asaba. Dey never agree to it. Yet dey have d same way of life. Just like d Ikwerre's in Rivers State dey never agree that they are ibo. Yet dey be have like dem. I found out that too as a corper when I served their.

so u spent ur service year asking pple their ethnic group?
Anyway its part of the Igbophobia i am talking abt. Pls dont quote me further.

this thread concerns Biafra. It is a political not a religious topic. Pls push it back where it was originally created 'cos pple here will have nothing much to contribute.

Modified...

ok, the first lie was on religion session

It's a long interview but i cut it short

There is this issue of your alleged stand against the Biafra struggle. And this has become an issue with some groups fighting for a Biafra nation. As a man of God and not a politician, how does this connect with you?
I have heard that before, that I granted an interview to some faceless interviewers against the agitations of the Indigenous People of Biafra which is not true. I’m not the one, it was an evil concoction. To start with, I’m a preacher and Ambassador of Peace for the United Nations. I’m not in support of violence, I was one of the pastors in Nigeria who spoke several times on live worldwide satellite TV broadcast for the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
People who are jobless should look for something to do rather than fabricating stories that have no basis in order to confuse the people. Pastors should not be dragged into unnecessary debate and tribal rancor.

Stingman:
You are most likely poorly educated. See what one of your brothers who is well enlightened had to say..

"...They say a man without the knowledge of history is like a man without memory. As a northern Nigerian under the age of 30 I’ve always wondered why the Igbos tend to refuse to apply themselves very well politically.

I guess they’ve always wanted to be Biafrans (and justifiably so), not Nigerians. They didnt just want to ‘threaten’ Nigerian unity like they have always been accused of doing… I now understand where they’re coming from.

Just imagine if the Igbos were simply allowed to break away and form their Biafran Republic, how this entity called Nigeria would have fared. Maybe we will have ended up becoming prosperous friendly nations and economic allies with special ECOWAS relationships. And certainly the shameless massacre by the Nigerian and British governments will have been completely avoided.

Nigeria may be better off united economically and militarily, but the true yearnings of the peoples involved count more than mere economic growth on paper. Everyone has to feel among and feel important. Maybe, just maybe, if we were all allowed to go our separate ways we will end up becoming friends and allies and everything will eventually turn out for the better..." Abdullahi

Well nobody do.

Joysammy:
This writer must be a lunatic and also suffering from brain disorderly. How many Yorubas does he know as regional pastor in RCCG? How many Yoruba does he know in Church of the Living faith and Oyarkilome Church?

Does he think Pastor is being made based on Tribes? If Hausas preferred to be Boko Haram and Igbo decided to be Militants, the RCCG should force them to be Pastor in their Church?

Stupid talk. RCCG does not belong to anybody, or any tribes, but Nigeria belong to everyone and so, it is very stupid of him comparing Church with Nigeria Government.

Idiot

i am sure you are one of their pastors
