Let all south hold their side, we ain’t d same

Yorubas n igbos are different

Nobody needs your unity when we can win elections conveniently without your votes

na still Yoruba dey champion unity the table turn

Chai it's a pity no one is talking about PDP again, it's now APC vs LP

Ndimkpurummiri:
ibos are third class citizens

unfortunately their big politicians didn't know this

adecz:
In earlier elections, Igbos had no
choice than to vote for other ethnic
candidates since there were no igbo
Presidential candidates on any party ticket🆗

and now they have one you expect them not to vote?, Why does the rest of you too selfish and wicked against the igbos, you have been producing president back to back now they want you to produce who is actually the best, you antagonize them, accuse them of what they have not even imagined

Boy keep quiet!
The north have proven themselves to be better allies of yorubas than u lots.
Deal with it!

Cholls:
my brothers and sisters this is one of those things we and all other tribes hate about Igbos. Very aggressive animals

Roboto11:
Even Chinese people no dey go SE.

some Chinese people even have shop in ochanja market

For the records igbos go nowhere, stay wherever you vote where ever you, it's your constitutional right to do so.

This time arround no running to igboland where they will be able to encircle you, stay within them, and defend yourself

In 1966: Nearly 1,000,000 of them were massacred in the North as revenge killings for a coup that was plotted by a young man that bears their name but had never been to their land.

They escaped back to their homeland and wanted a country of their own, but they were told that they must belong to one indivisible Nigeria

For three years, they resisted and lost another 3,000,000 of their kith and kin who were fed to the vultures. Their entire homeland was a killing field, they were killed, and they were starved. Kwashiorkor finished up their starving children. Many of their wives and daughters were raped and some were taken into forced marriages.

After three years of annihilation, the genocide ended. The few that were still alive crept out of their holes and re-embraced the country that has massacred them without a just cause.

To return to the country, they were economically stripped of their remaining dignity and offered only £20 (₦40) each in exchange for their money they had in the banks before the war broke out ....millionaires before the war restarted life with £20 (₦40). They did not complain, they accepted their fate and reintegrated with all.

Within a short while, the country embarked on an indigenization policy which enabled many of their South Western, South-South and Northern brothers to buy up major multi-nationals at a giveaway price... but with £20 (₦40) in their pockets, they could only watch .... those that owned houses in the big cities lost their homes to the criminal policy of 'Abandoned property' as enacted by some states aimed at committing official stealing.

In the civil service, the policy of the quota system made it impossible for many of them to be accepted back into their former jobs ... In trying to get a quality education for their children; the policy of giving admission to children from educationally disadvantaged states, saw their children score so high at entrance exams but locked out from most of the Federal Government Colleges and universities; even though they were coming from war and for three years did not have any functional school system, they were still categorized as educationally advantaged. 53 years after the war, the educationally disadvantaged states are still educationally disadvantaged and the Igbos are still blamed for everything and denied major government presence and projects.

Locked out of schools and locked out of public service, they embraced trading and other menial jobs that a man could do with his hands to feed his family. To survive, they spread out again to the big cities with memories of their dead ones and rundown homeland.

Everywhere they went, they lived frugally, sometimes, a master lived in his shop with his 5 boys until they made enough money to rent a one-room apartment.

Of all their brothers, the Yorubas were the most accommodating after the war and this made many of them quickly forget the pains of the war and settled down to play major roles in the development of the communities, in which they found themselves.

In their host communities, they never looked back in donating towards the building of schools, churches and whatever was required...Some even married the daughters of their hosts and some took titles. At drinking bars, you find Jide and Emeka drinking and laughing. At school, you find Ebube and Bisola reading and playing together as best of friends.

Soon, at the turn of the 90s, many of their town unions encouraged them to completely trust their hosts and join hands in opening up areas that were hitherto, uninhabited, especially the swamps and the mangroves....they bought swamps and the term 'sand filling' became popular, they bought thick mangrove forests and in mowing them down, they became Osuofia and the money coming from them, made their hosts happy because most of the places they bought and transformed had laid waste for years.

With vigour, they negotiated for lands to build markets, cleared the lands and built the markets and were happy to welcome state and local government tax and rate officials. If you slap them on one cheek, they gladly turned the other with a smile. When they build houses, they trust everything to their Yoruba builders, and even in their homeland, all their building projects were done by the Yoruba boys they have come to love and trust.


Then...
1999 came....all celebrated the re-emergence of democracy…
but gradually, a new anti-Igbo message started, but they ignored it because they have completely fallen in love with their host...

In 2014.....
The divisive politicians showed up in their numbers and made them; the Igbos the sacrificial lamb all over again...

Someone wrote somewhere and I agree with him completely that:
In 1993, the Igbos voted Abiola against Tofa who had an Igbo as Vice-President…

In 1999, the Igbos voted for Obasanjo en-block

Obasanjo is Yoruba

Obasanjo lost Yorubaland but scored 85%+ in Igbo land

In 2003, the Igbos voted for Obasanjo

Obasanjo scored 95% in some Igbo states

Obasanjo defeated Ojukwu in Igbo land.

In 2007, the Igbos voted for Yaradua

Yaradua was Hausa-Fulani

Yaradua scored his highest percentage of votes in Igbo land

In 2011, the Igbos voted for Jonathan

Jonathan is Ijaw

Jonathan scored 95%+ in Igbo land

In 2015, the Igbos voted for Jonathan

Jonathan scored a higher percentage in Igbo land than in the South-South Region

In 2019, the Igbos voted for Atiku

Atiku is Fulani

Atiku scored a higher percentage in Anambra than Adamawa

In 2023, the Igbos voted for Obi

Obi is Igbo

Once the Igbos voted Obi they became tribalistic

Once the Igbo gave Obi what they had given to Shagari, Abiola, Obasanjo, Ya' Ardua, Jonathan and Atiku, Igbos became criminals.

My heart is very heavy as I pen down these few lines because I smell another pogrom aimed at Igbos loading and I can't see anyone stopping the genocidal messages spreading on many South-West and other platforms... People are speaking of the coming Governorship election in Lagos on Saturday 11th March 2023 (now shifted to March 18th) as if it is a day that has been marked as D-Day for something very cold and un-Lagos.
And I ask again, what is the crime of the Igbos?
Some said Igbos claim to own Lagos and I laugh, someone who owns a place is buying land and paying tax and rents in the same place?
I am that ‘Kwashiorkored’ Igbo child (now 54) born in the war that you are trying to retrigger.

The dark clouds are gathering once again.
Can someone please send this to all Igbo politicians who help in whipping up this anti-Igbo sentiments just for selfish political gains.
We know them and they know themselves.

I post this because it is deep, and it has to be corrected !!!

If igbos leave Lagos today, they will still come to Igbo land and accuse you one thing you have not yet imagined, bet me, I know this people

But they should welcome buhari and self inflicted suffering all their lives,
Urchins are never meant to have sense

chamboi1:

if you sure is your land why causing trouble because someone said Lagos is not Yoruba land

The first time I heard that Lagos is a no man's land was from the mouth of a Yoruba person in nairaland I have never heard real people or igbos say this, but every now and then Yoruba people will come to igbos say Lagos is no man's land, if they are sure in the heart that Lagos is Yoruba land, why should they feel threatened fight to tell people that Lagos belongs to Yoruba, nawao, just like may be an housa iroba man will just say imo is a no man's land, I will start filling gitery, for what when I know that it's an ibo land, nawaoo for Yoruba people
