So,we should be carerul When you come to settle on my land and say you must represent me in the Nigerian senate or the house of representatives,or the Lagos State House of Assembly taking away from me my aboriginal right to have my kith,kindred and blood represent me,while back home you are being represented in the senate and House of Reps,when you insist on becoming a commisioner in my state or a deputy governor,or a local government chairman when you try to govern me in my own land as Dr Nnamdi Azikwe once tried to do,all because I was generous to let you become in my land what you couldn't become in your land,simply because you believe you have the numbers,I will tell you that is greed and unnatural irrespective of the backing of the law you may think you have.


Think,for example,about an igbo becoming the chairman of Lagos island local government and arrogating to himself the right under the laws of Nigeria and of Lagos state to issue instructions to the oba of Lagos about how the kabiyesi should conduct himself and govern his people.What will this breed?
That is what has been happening in countries from where the igbos are being sent back home.It happened once in the North as Ahmadu Bello said in 1952.And seriously speaking,I believe this is why the North rejected Atiku Abubakar.



The igbos should reflect on this..."Why does everyone tend to (hate )us?"




JIMI AGBAJE/AFENIFERE
The igbos should be wary of JIMI AGBAJE and AFENIFERE.They are politicians who are looking for ethnic heads to break coconuts on.


The igbos are hardworking and resourceful and should try to overcome ethnic politics as the yorubas have done.They should learn from immigrants from other lands worldwide.The Indians do not trouble their hosts or try to take over their lands.They makw their money quietly and take it back home to develop their own land.That is why India has bwen able to lift herself from poverty.In contrast,the igbos do not develop their own lands.All thwy do is largely to make money from abroad through whichever or whatever means and buy up property which other people have built and then claim they own the land without remembering that they can never hold aboriginal rights to the land in their hands whenever the chips come down.



Meanwhile, their land back home is languid,crying and shouting for investment and development and they begin to talk about marginalisation.Did they not flower and fruit under Obasanjo and Jonathan's administrations? What happened to igbo land in those 16 years that they were not marginalised?What happened to yoruba land in those 16 years that the yorubas were marginalised that yoruba land still continued to be a honey pot for the igbo?
I would go anyday with chief Emeka Anyaoku who looks at the world with universal spectacles.


Succeeding Lagos government have beautifully held the ethnic balance in Lagos and prevented ethnic disturbances.Igbos should stop saying they own Lagos or that they built Lagos or that Lagos is a "no man's land" only a bastard yorubaman will not feel affronted by such statements.And in spiritual terms,the man or woman who cannot defend his land is not fit to live.Wasn't this the failure of the sons of the incas?



It is good news that the leaders of the igbos and other nationalities in Nigeria have met with the traditional leaders of the yorubas in Okota and Oshodi areas to avert a backlash in respect of last Saturday's events.As I said earlier,Agbaje and Afenifere are outside the mainstream of yoruba politics They are trying to take control of it.And they have the right to so aspire,being yorubas.What is objectionable to the mainstream yoruba is their attempt to knock the heads of the igbo against the head of the mainstream yorubas.They remind the yorubas of a similar affront by Afonja,the yoruba army commander in Ilorin who was sent there by the Alaafin of Oyo to stop jihadist expansion.Afonja betrayed the Alaafin and invited the jihadists to defend its betrayal.


They did and Afonja triumphed momentarily only to be killed afterwards by the jihadists who took over the land.The perception in Yorubaland today is that the igbo in Lagos especially are the modern jihadists and that Agbaje and Afenifere are the modern Afonjas.This is the underlying perception which ,in my opinion,triggered the surface reaction in Okota last Saturday.The yorubas remain an accomodating people.But they never fail to rise in their defence when they have to,as they did in the 1950s in respect of Dr Azikwe's blatant attempt to usurp their land and as they also did at Ore during the civil war.

.....John Olufemi Kusa

I keep saying it that until we, the younger ones refuse to sell write ups and discussions targeted at aiding our disunity as a people under the same country, development in Nigeria will continue to remain a mirage.

the writer of this piece is a pointer and an unrepentant proponent of ethnic bigotry which he has not been able to hide. his objectivity to the issues raised has remained questionable but any serious person should be able to consult history materials for the accurate story behind his lame tales. No one can rewrite history.

All efforts put by Azikiwe in the 50s&60s was targeted towards replacing the colonial constitution, Macpherson's precisely with a new constitution that would pave way and create an atmosphere for Nigeria's independence and not on entrenching himself to be premiere of Western region as alleged by the writer. Azikiwe himself had written an open letter to Awolowo shortly after the Lagos election, seeking to collaborate with him and his Action Group party to work for the actualisation of Zik's common interest targeted at delivering independence for the whole country-Nigeria.

Mcquine:
I dare any Yoruba man alive to chase an Igbo man from Lagos.
If any of you Lots have the balls try it and let me see how it ends.

'A bughi m Yoruba nwanne kama na, e jighi otu a ekwu okwu.
Nchi chere onwe ya nche kpatara o jiri buru adebe'.

AtikuMeansJobs:
National Assembly need to enact a LAW AGAINST HATE SPEECH.

No thief will ever make laws that will catch up with him

Nigerian politicians are the main initiators of hate speeches.

They do campaign of calumny as against visionary and issue based.

Tomrock007:
dont mind them, there eyes go soon clear when seyi win.

hahahaha

with God, victory is certain for SHEYI

Happy Sunday man

Mcquine:
Igbos have conquered Yoruba's Long before now.

- We take over their Land.
If you have two big sized balls go and do same in the East.

- We've Slept with their Women
If you can afford them go and try


- We pay their street Lord Tinubu and his Tout Bread crumbs.
Lazy agbero youth all na gain no Loss



- We run for Political offices in their Land
If you Heart go and try.

- We raise our Kids in the best Schools in their Land and leave them to manage the Public/Government School.


All this for many years and none of them have the guts to drive Igbos out of Lagos.


Yoruba's are Slaves to the Igbos and eventually they will all runaway from this Lagos.

this is totally unlike from an Igbo, can't believe you're Igbo and be talking in this form......

this manner of talking is totally uncultured and uncivilised

AtikuMeansJobs:
I tell you..... what do you think should be done to solve this problem?

I think even those in sensitive positions don't know how to talk without creating a sense of tribalism.

Yet, we keep chanting 'one Nigeria' when from all indications through our actions, we don't need one Nigeria.

the only way to solve this problem is by having the right set of people in leadership positions, who will carry every tribe along evenly irrespective of their tribal affiliations but that is going to be difficult because even the young ones have become main purveyors of hate speeches against tribes. Nigeria is tilting towards extinction if this sort mindset is not checked now.

Darevofpeace:
from what you wrote here,I know you are less than 25yrs,your analysis is too "myopic" you have a low understanding of what "tolerance" is

I like your response man

thumbs up

I don't see how Emma Powerful's statement was directed at Yorubas or Lagos.

He said:

THE ATTACKERS MIGHT BE FULANIS ........,

So where in his statement did he threaten Yorubas or the OPC? All I could deduce from this is that somebody is trying hard to please and show loyalty to the FULANIS but fails to understand that the heat will be too much if the IPOB leave their perceived rival to face OPC themselves.

I don't know when very many Yorubas will stop this sycophantic attitudes. Who is the OPC man trying to defend now? The FULANIS? mtchew.......

let them meet even the President
SHEYI MAKINDE IS THE ONLY WINNER I SEE,
God bless Oyo state
God bless Nigeria

Melian:
Actually, to be honest, it was when I joined nairaland my view of igbos changed. I honestly, genuinely, literally didn't know what tribalism meant nor did I see us differently until I joined nl.

hahahaha....

I see.......

it's funny 2 c d negative power of Internet.....lol

Melian:
I couldn't stab you or anyone naaa but I get your point and you're absolutely correct. Let me tell you this and I'm sure you won't believe it.

There's a house directly opposite mine, there are no occupants in it save for thorns and bushes. There's this certain igbo woman who comes around every weekend with her companion to cut lemon grass. I normally see them cut the root of the grass and put in bundles of sacks. So, one day, some omo onile guys were passing by, they saw them and one of them said "madam you go pay o. Shebi that thing wey you dey cut you wan sell am". I felt they were merely teasing so I smiled it away.

The following weekend, this woman with her male companion came as usual to cut grass. Now it was only one of the omo onile guys that came by. I saw him approach them. This time he was harassing them, tactically demanding money. Telling them that they were invading private property bla bla. Gosh I was mad. I quickly went into my room to cover up.

My mum on seeing I was fully dressed asked where I was heading to. I told her I was going to confront that man cos what he was doing was absolutely disgusting. My mum told me to mind my business that she doesn't want trouble. Chai the thing pained me as I couldn't do anything for them. The fact that they were older people hurt me the more. Wahalli If my.mum wasn't at home I would have risked everything to defend them.

After a while, the guy left. Shortly after, a neighbor from the next compound came out and told them not to mind the guy jare.

So you see, normally I hate injustice. However it doesn't change how I perceive ibos generally.

the way you perceive IGBOS generally is a product of the information you've heard from people about IGBOS, thus your attitude towards everything that concerns them.

Before I came to Ibadan, I had heard so many things about Yorubas of which till today, I am yet to have such experience from a Yoruba.

But one thing I also found out was that some politicians contribute towards the bad impressions tribes have over themselves. when they want to contest a position with people from a different tribe, they sell all sorts of despicable and derogatory things about their opponent's tribe which most often are not provable but just to discredit their opponents and curry favour from their own people.

but the citizens will not be able to see such speeches as politically motivated.

Melian:
This is the video I told you I watched last night. Won't you agree this man is mad? NSK4U

Actually I've not seen the video but I have heard about his comments on it.......

Meanwhile, I don't know the reason behind his comments.

but one thing I'm sure of is that somebody might have created an action that precipitated his unguarded and inciting reaction in such manner.

this is because people can say beyond what they can actually do when pushed by others.

an instance was what happened last night when we were talking, I know that it was due to some expressions I used against your tribe that provoked you beyond words of which if I were within your reach, u could even stab me. So that is how it is with everyone because we all have feelings and very few can control their emotions when provoked.

I'm not saying this to exonerate him from blame or expunge his comments but to insist that something caused it and it's only by we, who are not provoked like him to find the whole gist instead of drumming for and fanning the embers of war that could consume even the innocent ones, that our society can be free to grow

DesChyko:
Apex Igbo Organization?
I laugh.
Blind ignorance doth mislead thee.
An apex organization that doesn't even hold sway over all her people..what then makes it 'apex'?
Journalists should spend more time studying igbo political culture to understand that all man is a king unto himself.
Even IPOB that has far more grassroot political influence than Ohaneze still can't make all Igbos do their bidding.
The Ohaneze understood their mistake when they allegedly endorsed Buhari earlier and got severe backlash from Igbos. So, they simply did the wish of the people; became Atikulated.

IGBOS have always taken a direction unlike the West that bends when they are after eating the crumbs falling from the table. since the birth of PDP in Nigeria, IGBOS have always identified with the party no matter what. Since the birth of Christianity in Nigeria, IGBOS have predominantly remained Christians, what more do you need to understand that IGBOS ARE ONE in decision making. the fact that we don't have such kings or rulers like Emirs and Obas that are common in other tribes doesn't mean we don't have leaders and elders whom we swallow their words when they talk and we have remained steadfast with it.

Melian:
You should laugh with your right breast too. I don't scamper when I see rats. And no I won't kill at least not literally. I can do the killing in my heart. That's all that matters. It's just to show the depth of hatred.

isorait

I understand

Melian:
Yes it is hatred. I didn't deny. I never will.

Lol

Melian:
No be only temper na temperature you go see. It's what it is. Since you people don't want to reason, na to wipe you off the earth's surface ni. I watched a video clip of an igbo man this evening, shouting and spreading hate speech. I was happier than I was annoyed and I'll tell you why. His comments are inciting, it'll make the gentlest of creatures burn. Yorubas are good people and you know it. But when we hear statements like that, you incite us, which is good. The fight we've been avoiding all these while will finally come to life. I can't wait to see the day igbos will be sent packing. Lol.

Imagine

just imagine

it's you, a lady who will quickly jump into your bed at the sight of house rat that is talking with your keyboard as if you had led a battalion of soldiers in a war

just laughing with ma left nyash

Melian:
I won't even try to mince words or speak grammar like my yoruba folks on here.

It's time we started killing yeebos in Lagos. Now that their intentions are bare before us, we should kill them. We'll kill you all. And I don't care what anyone thinks of my statement. Call it hatred, who cares? This is how I know how to defend what's mine. Kill them all. It's a battle henceforth!

don't kill o

mmmmm, if you kill, who will now stay with you

all is fair in a quarrel, but think before you fight, you don't have to fight and think later

and I call it hatred and it's not good to hate.

You don't have to defend yourself through killing those who don't think of killing you babe.

think twice oo

Melian:
Brag brag brag. The whole nation will rise against your tribe. Your doom is near and I'm sure you can smell it too. That's why you're jittery, quoting me everywhere. Hahahaha.

it's alright though I'm not jittery

Melian:
Exactly. Other tribes are lazy. Other tribes are cowards and other tribes are weaklings too. Only the igbos are best at everything. Only eebos are faultless. You see your entitlement sense. You see where your problems lie? It's the other tribes against you, isn't it. You should look yourself in the mirror and ask why?

I just love adoring my tribe

It's one of the best things I ever do

it offers me all the joy

I mean no harm

Melian:
No time for grammar jare, already told you that. Constructive arguments do not win wars. This is war. We fight. You die. Period.

Pele, we are not in any war joor

I was only kidding

Melian:
You're a bastard. What did I say, you're a bastard!!!! You think this is about insecurity? Gosh you're daft. Don't expect yorubas to love you, it's not possible. It's impossible to love domineering, hateful, greedy people. We accommodated you, allowed you t to thrive on here, yet you connive behind our back. God punish your father. How can you say Lagos is no man's land, are you cursed, like really? Can I go to the east and say anambra is no man's land. This your greediness will be your downfall eventually.

I'm sorry baby

like really sorry

I can't hold tears if you don't stop in this manner of talking.

I greatly apologise, I thought it would all end in a fun way as usual. abeg forgive me

Melian:
Go away first. Don't worry about what will happen, just leave. Leave o. Stupid set of greedy people. Pure water sellers. Shioor. Idiot.

And yes, you're hated. Every other tribe hates you.

Now I feel your pain baby boo, you can't make constructive argument like one that indeed passed through formal education.

you know what babe, politics section is not just for you and I won't let you hurt yourself because of what I'm responsible for,

I just gotta tell ya da fucking truth, shun political threads that could be tribal, because I can feel your temper rising to a level that I fear.

I love you and I will always love you but I got to tell the truth, you can't stand argument, don't hurt yourself, you're a female and thus, emotional being, you're attaching emotions to our little conversation.

common, it's just a means to enlighten ourselves, stop taking it that far, I apologise for my rude comments against you or your tribe, abeg forgive me and forget our conversation.

Melian:
Defeat? Tueh. Shebi na ordinary reprisal attack you were scared of that your people in okota were packing their belongings planning to run away to the yeast. Ode. Does June 12 come to mind? Oloriburuku

mmmmm

this clearly reveals that I'm even talking with illiterate as far as Nigerian history is concerned.

Do you really know what happened in June 12?

Just make research before coming online with half-baked Yoruba claimed education to spew rubbish.

for your information, you need education first and it's a pity those that succeeded Awolowo didn't follow his legacy to educate you and your tribes people well, hence this self misinformation.

In a nutshell, in Nigeria's history, you, Abiola and your entire genealogy were robbed of the mandate that was delivered to your people by Nigerians during Gen. Sani Abacha's regime and his tribes people, and just to vindicate me, history revealed that Yorubas kept calm and mute out of cowardice to fight those they perceived to be owners of arms, what an enslaved tribe from Adam, it's a pity anyway.

meanwhile, thank me for teaching you your history in this manner, it's the best way though, to learn it.

Melian:
Only bastards abandona and deny their fatherland. You're a bastard except you can prove otherwise. Greedy idiot. I don't see the reasoning behind bragging about what isn't obviously yours if it's not thievery. Yeebos are cursed jare. Ask yourself why you people always fight with other tribes. Why? Why are you hated by other tribes? Why? Please answer this question honestly and see if the problem doesn't lie with you. Olé.

hahaha

e pain u gan......

we're hated by other lazy tribes that think suppression can make our tribe fall into oblivion but keep getting disappointed after each attempt, just like the confusion that struck Pharaoh before declaring capital punishment against Israelites. but he got all the most perplexed when he discovered that the more he suppressed Israelites, the more their Blessing grew, it's the same analogy with other tribes that are against Igbos in Nigeria because they themselves just like the people of Israel have overtime requested that they be allowed to go as Biafrans but the Pharaoh's heart keeps chanting-One Nigeria, therefore, know it that the red sea experience awaits those who think they can battle against God's own people for Moses is on the way.

Melian:
Cowards you say. You guys should bring out your weapons to fight now if you wouldn't be killed down to your unborn children. Rubbish. You think you have the numbers in Lagos. Before you bring your people from the yeast to join you in Lagos, it would have been too late. Oyo, ogun state, is closer to Lagos than any eastern state is. And I can bet you, when it gets dirty, the hausas will be own our side. Biafra should come to mind, right. Together we'll burn down your properties in Lagos and kill you all one by one. Even the south south will deny you. They hate you too. You stand alone. You do.

those in Lagos don't need to stress themselves in coming home, we have those in Igboland who can handle any madness from one yeye cattle group...... mtchew

let them try any nonsense and see what the word Igbo sounds like in conflict time

Melian:

This right here is the evil intention of igbos. It's sad to see some yoruba folks take this satanic assertion with a pinch of salt. Even more disturbing is the fact that some yoruba people take pride in their liberalism.

My question is: are Yorubas present during igbo ndigbo Lagos meetings? Is any yoruba person privy to their agenda? Do you know what they discuss behind your back, do you know what they're scheming?

We've seen how on this forum igbos brag that Lagos is no man's land. What do you think gives them the level of confidence with which they say this?

Now one of them has ousted their real intentions. I bet my head sharpsecret dares not post this on Facebook.

As faceless as this forum may be, never ever forget that there's a real face and personality behind every moniker. I'm calling, pleading on all Yorubas to rise up and defend what is ours. We've been in darkness for too long, the time is now to see the light.

Stop selling your lands to them. This statement by sharpsecret is a ridicule to every yoruba person out there. Before you think this is ridiculous, think again. A word is enough if you're wise.

cry me a river, the statuesque remains.

IGBOS will always offer irresistible amounts to colonise more of your land

blame your greedy tribes people..'ndi ofe mmanu'

Melian:
Yes!!!

You scared now? They'll kill you in your own land just as you conspire and connive among yourselves to dispossess Yorubas of Lagos. Ntoi.

and you have already accepted defeat from those that conspire and connive to disposses you from your land?

No wonder Kwara was easy for the caliphates, you people should stop being cowards joor.....

Melian:
Igbos are crying now? What!!! You met your match. Let the bragging begin. Herdsmen go finish una one by one una never see anything. "we'll buy every inch of land in Lagos", "we'll dominate you", "we'll take over your territory", "we'll continue to plot your downfall".

Na so na. Karma comes in different forms. I'll gladly watch your kinsmen wiped off your OWN land. Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

sharpsecret, ugo4u. You feel the heat? Does it hurt? Yeah? Exactly how it feels like when you're threatened in your own land.

Karma is a bitch.

Kill them all!!!!!!!!!

May it not be better for any man who tries to assert authority over my home and people.

who's asserting authority over you and your people?
Na we tell una to be lazy? Lkwd.......

lol...... I know you feel insecure to see how Igbos thrive in Lagos and other parts of South west, thus your source of hatred for them. ? there's nothing you can do about it my dear because Igbos are blessed with creativity and hardwork, they are not lazy like your tribes people and that's the reason they survive anywhere they enter, so don't envy them since it's divinely orchestrated. Meanwhile, Remove Igbos from Lagos and other parts of Nigeria, let's see if those areas don't end up like caskets.......but I can assure you, the story of the swallowed Egyptians is your portion if you continue keeping your heart as dark as Pharaoh's

Melian:
Tueh. Is this your defense speech? We all know hausas are the most brutal when it comes to slaughtering. And since the hatred for igbos is already inherent, they won't hesitate to slaughter your people in one fell swoop! Easy as pie! Ohhhh just thinking about it is delicious.

U said "we all know Hausas are the most brutal......."

Now I see why your tribe keeps begging for unity unlike majority of Igbos who believe in themselves and are after their Biafra. So because you perceive Hausas to be the most brutal, you and your people will rather die as slaves than stand up to them?

For your information, Hausas merged with Yorubas and even some foreign powers to fight the Igbo Biafra in the 60s, so if they were the most brutal, they should have faced Igbos alone, and I can tell you that there wouldn't have been any existing tribe like Hausa. So, go and equip yourself with knowledge of history to present sound argument, u can't give what you don't have, you can't argue what you don't know.

Chukwurah003:
I don’t know why My Southeast people are spreading hate just because Buhari won. It is totally un-called for.

how did you know they're the ones spreading hate?
Or you've swallowed hook, line and sinker the allegations by the MACBAN person?

which of your tribes person have you inquired of the matter from? Or You're among the lost Igbos who're trying to sell Igbos because of the investments they made outside Igboland? 'Gee nti nwoke m', next time you hear of a conflict involving your tribes people, don't be too forward and hasty to condemn your people without full gist of the matter. I don't know which you would easily believe between a stranger and your own blood but for now do me a favour,

stay true to your blood and shut da Bleep up.

Brunosamel:
my suffering is not from. Buhari rather my state governor, Buhari did not do anything to me rather my governor..
Am just telling you the simple truth, yes I know our economy is hash but when you are being deprived your basic necessity thats when it becomes critically cruel...

well, you're r right

let hope for d best diz year

thanks
