Lagos is not a Yoruba land-Oba Akiolu of Lagos

They are all kwarrupt

Eshinwaju:
Any the source of the news.....igberetv of the iPod lying miscreants....

Why cant you face your SW,bad belle people

Ikwerres are Igbos just like any other Igboid groups which include Ika,Anioma,Igbanke etc, they speak Igbo as their mother tongue,bear Igbo names and have Igbo culture.

Your write up did not make any sense , you lump the entire North together and divide the South into SE/SS/SW.
Is that restructuring to you , What we have in Nigeria as recognized by the constitution is Eastern, Northern and Western Nigeria, the restructuring will be based on this regions.

YelloweWest:
Alright. Suit yourself. But remember we bear English names and speak English but we are not British as we once used to be!
Igbos should stop belittling themselves by claiming tribes that want nothing to do with them.

English is not our mother tongue and it is not a traditional or native names, it is a borrowed name due to colonization or Christianity from Jewish history,most of names are not English names but Jewish names,the same with Islamic names from koran.
As I said before Igbos gain nothing from claiming that Ikwerres are Igbos, but your mother tongue,culture,names,way of life,market days in everything gave you out as Igbos.If you speak your Ikwerre version of Igbo I hear you,if I speak my central Igbo you hear me, the same name I bear you bear,the same language I speak you speak. Igbo language have many dialects like other languages like Yoruba,German,Hausa etc, Ika,Aniomas,Ngwa,Ikwerre,Nkwerre,Mbaise,Nsuka,Izzie,Izza,Awka,Igbanke etc are all Igbo dialets.

YelloweWest:
I'm Ikwerre and Ikwerre is not Igbo. Pls let's not get into this argument.
Ikwerre is a tribe of its own within the Niger Delta region. I'm from Ogbumunabali. I am certainly NOT Igbo!

That is your own personal opinion, Ikwerre are Igbos, just like Ika, Igbanke,Aniomas, what is the difference between Ikwerre and Nkwerre people in Imo state . You are just deceiving yourself and after you bear Igbo names and speak Igbo,the North know you as an Igbo man if like continue to live in self denial,once you step your foot outside Rivers to the West and North you are referred to as Igbo man, the north call GEJ an Igbo man not to talk of somebody that bears Igbo name and speak Igbo language as his mother tongue. Chibuike Amaechi the transport minister is more Ikwerre than you and he said he is an Igbo man in the house of senate.
The Igbos dont gain anything in saying that Ikwerres are Igbos but your culture, language and names gave you people away as Igbos. A yoruba man can be speaking yoruba language as his his mother tongue and be answering Deji Babalola Akintola and be saying he is not a yoruba man.

Let me give you a recap of what actually happend from the great historian named @madamoringo.

''Simple answer: Ibo greed and selfishness.


You can slice it and dice it anyhow but it comes down to this issues. It all started well before independence, with Zik (ibo) thinking he would rule over a large expanse of a country and had previously said that ibos were some special breed of humans whom their god (not the real God) of greed and selfishness had chosen to be rulers, would rule over the country. Zik passed on an alliance of a more intellectual, hardworking and forward looking West so as not to have to compete so hard for anything as he knew he was on a long thing and chose the North seeing he thought he could take advantage of a largely uneducated north (at that time) and they would simply hand him high office as PM! Well he lost out and ibo soldiers wanting to bring them into an advantage by force killed every leader from every other region, Ironsi took over leadership and destroyed Nigeria's federalism (regionalism) to unitary government by his infamous decree 34 against much advise to the contrary. With ibos ululating on their victory in the north, 6 months later the revenge coup put ibos on their knees with much killings in th north where ibos had been making fun of the northerners on the killings of their leaders. No do, no do, Ojukwu without good military knowledge and common sense, under the guise of protecting ibos declared Biafra taking all of today's Niger Delta (SS), marching across to the militarily neutral Mid West (Edo & Delta states) and annexing it. Then, he planned and launched his worst military offensive against the Yoruba West deploying several tens of thousands (maybe close to a hundred thousand or more) of fully armed soldiers to approach from Ore, breach the SW defences and march straight to Lagos (deep in the heart of Yorubaland), capture and destroy it and then await orders from Ojukwu on how the West will be governed. The order was a kill, no-capture and scorched earth policy all with the cover of "liberation" of the West.

Ojukwu and his ibos failed massively because less than 200 Nigerian soldiers mostly from the West set up a defense about 40 km from the borders of Ore and set up strategy to funnel them into the cold pass, at the bridge. There, waves after waves of biafran soldiers were destroyed until they fled. The NA finished the business by ensuring the total capitulation of Biafra and Ojukwu fled as a cross dressed woman to Abidjan.''

This is just a crap from Lagos- Ibadan newspaper propaganda, Nigeria declare war on Biafra first and Biafra military was marching towards Lagos to seize it because lagos was the capital of Nigeria and Nigeria sit of power, had it been that it was now the Biafra military will march towards Abuja, save all this yoruba land crap,yet Nigerian forces was operating in yoruba land and you didnt chase them away.

Yoruba and talk talk, that is how Awolowo was spitting fire that once Biafra is declared that the west will also declare independent, when time come he chicken out and join the opponent,they have started again, they claim to be sophisticated but cant achieve common restructuring of Nigeria since 1970 from the North.
One single protest they no fit do to show their seriousness about restructuring Nigeria

YelloweWest:
I'm not an Igbo hater. I'm just speaking the truth. I don't know about those locations u mentioned but here in PH
where I stay na them full. Both stripers and prostitutes.

My drivers works with them as per taxi service. Some of them use their own taxi to avoid ritualist.... he knows so many of them... it's a sad reality.

Igbo that I know are great business men heck my best friend is Igbo. She is so God fearing.

A times I wonder if all these drugs news about igbos is fake cos the igbo I know are nothing like that.

PH is an Igbo land of Ikwerres and not more than 30 minutes drive to SE states of Abia and Imo,likewise Oshogbo and Ibadan are yoruba land, majority of Ashawos operating in PH are most likely to be Igbos while those operating in Oshogbo and Ibadan are likely to be Yoruba girls.
I served close to Ibadan, if you want I will give you the list of Ashawo brothels in Ibadan and strip clubs, most girls there are yorubas.

chloedogie:
I told one of my office drivers that says the same thing here. Gather your bags with your family and relocate to Owerri. But the guy won't leave. You dont need a visa or govt approval to travel Abuja to Imo. You said let us go but you won't leave your present locations. See it is very easy to achieve this biafra thing. All Igbos should just relocate to south east and whenever federal govt approves monthly allocation, please return it back to govt that you dont want. If after doing that the Fed govt invades your privacy in anyway, then we will help you fight your course. But first thing be done make all Igbos relocate to the eastern states abeg.

They did all this in 1967 by parking their things back home, you people seize their properties in the North and west and follow them back to their home and wage war against them, they will not move an inch this time around until they actualize their independent homeland.
Go and visit your history book.

YelloweWest:
We even have them in ph. Young beautiful mostly Igbo girls... what a shame.


Before u quote me, my driver is the one who told me about them. He runs taxi service at night.


Govt should step in and place a ban on this nonsense. It's not our culture.


Who am I kidding, politicians are their major customers

Igbo hater,your bad belle for Igbo matter will send you to your early grave, Ashawo girls they have for Ilorin and Oshogbo is majority of them not Yoruba girls

PBundles:
Nice for him whatever floats your boat, but in the bigger picture utter nonsense.

I have IBO blood in me from my mom side ( she is actually IBO and Hausa believe it or not) and this whole IBOP is nonsense. Lets look at the larger picture, yes one can say that there was a time that easterner were disenfranchised, but is that the case now and for the last 15 years. Have they not been sharing the oil proceeds accrodingly? Was there not a deal made with the delta in which terrorists where paid off. Where else has that happened? If that were to happen to BH, the same guys who benefitted from the Delta deal will be talking rubbish.

Have easterners not held high positions of office, yet what have they done to assist the growth of the east. Instead they are the most corrupt. Instead of them to be called out they are applauded, like Ibori at the detriment of their future, kids etc.

Those calling for IPOB should ask why hasnt ONE high ranking politician followed the cause, simpe because they see it has no merit.

Even Okujwu before his passing said it was over and now we have this Kanu insighting more trouble, only to do what Ojukwu did, shout and beat on his chest and at end of the day was a coward. In all the photos from the Biafran war show me ONE just ONE where he was at the warfront or any where he saw action. You wont find any why, he was busy feeding himself. While Biafrans died of hunger every photo shows him with a fat belly. Bragging he would fight to the last man, sending small boys to fight with one bullet and then ran away with a mercedes benz and loads, only to return and then contest for presidency for the same country he said should be split. Now Kanu is looking to agitate to see if he can blackmail the federal government, at the end poor mans kids will be killed and he will reap the benefits. Some may be offended by this, but someone has to tell you the truth. Stop this nonsense.

There is nothing like having Igbo blood, If you are not an Igbo you are not.
You yorubas have Odua,Hausa have Arewa nobody disturb una, if Igbos say they have Biafra all of una go start to hit una head on the ground, cant you people do without the Igbos,this una inferiority complex is too much,they tie una umbilical cord with Igbos delf.
A coward is the same like a dead man,had it been that people of MB is brave enough and one of them rise up and took up arms to avenge their massacre by fulani herdsmen,after you will start to call the man that took up arm names because he fought to prevent his people from going into extinction through organize genocide by the FG.

Who is the real Ijaw leader? When you find out let me know

The Ijaws that are supporting the course have more influence on Ijaw people than the invincible ones you take as real Ijaw leaders, the real Ijaws that make Nigeria shake are the like of Asari Dokubo,Ankio Briggs,Ateke Tom,Tompolo,Niger Delta militant,GEJ

tutudesz:
Believe what ever you want Asari is not an Ijaw leader! The real Ijaw leaders are not supporting your Useless Biafra! Can't you people leave Ijaws alone and fight for yourselves! Is it by force?

Last I check nobody is forcing Ijaw people, that you detest it personally doesn't mean that others do, Asari Dokubo,Ankio Briggs,Ateke etc are more Ijaw than you. Not every UK person like BREXIT but majority carries the vote as usual,referendum will decide it.

tutudesz:
Plz never you include Ijaws in your Biafra again! When did Ijaw say they want to be part of Biafra?

Your personal opinion doesn't count but that of majority, Asari Dokubo,Ankio Briggs and Ijaws leaders including the militant are in support,for now majority of Ijaw is in support but if referendum is done and they decide otherwise then Bayelsa and rest of the Ijaw land will be carved out,it is not by force,nobody is forcing any unwilling tribe against their wish

tutudesz:
So in other word South South doesn't not exist? So states like Edo,Delta and Rivers are part of Biafra Right? And you begin to wonder why everybody hates Igbo's!

There is nothing like South South in Nigeria constitution,we have Eastern,Western and Northern Nigeria, have you heard a northerner talking about NE or NC, they always say the North, EDO and some part of Delta are not Biafrans except if they want to join, eg Ijaw said they want it, Istekiri,Urobo,Binis say they dont want it so they should be carved out, Rivers is partly Igbo land and Ijaws and Okirika that are in Rivers are all in support .

Brown roofs till take over,Aregbesola is the man of the people

willibounce1:
Everybody needs to agree that power must rotate from one region to another. South East rules for 4 years and leave for south south to rule for another 4 years, then south West takes over and then the north. 2 terms will be cancelled. The constitution will be amended and ministerial positions will.be shared equally among all regions while ensuring we pick the best brains.

If we cannot do this, make everybody find him way. No be only abo.ki get nigeria.

I wonder why it is so hard in Nigeria to even make it 6 years single tenure,the six geopolitical zone will get it turn,if it happen that president die in power one of the governor in his region will complete the remaining years while the next region get their turn.
Some region just want to rule Nigeria as they like and some people are looking for who is the greedy one,while we all know the greedy ones.

tutudesz:
It simple stop adding other region to your Biafra country,most especially South South!

They have never added South South in their agitation, is only the Igbos that was added,others are invited to join through referendum,
There is nothing like SS in Nigeria constitution, what we have in Nigeria is Eastern Nigeria, Western Nigeria and Northern Nigeria,that is why you have 19 northern state always having meeting,nothing like NE,North North or whatever,It was PDP Obasanjo era that bring geopolitical zone affair.

SAtoSaiBABA:
No you butthole.
Y'all should have representatives and not all of you trying to rule at the same time. Isn't it shameful that y'all cannot even present one person to contest for the office of the President?
The thing with you descendants of apes is that you all feel too big to be led. Meanwhile, y'all are just a bunch of insignificant rats and the sad part is that RATS WILL ALWAYS BE RATS.

That is what the Igbos are saying, that their culture is not the same with yorubas and the north, so let them have their own country,no region have ever presented one person to contest for the office of the president in Nigeria from 1999 till date.

banmee:
You can't survive in any country if you do not master politics. History has taught the world that.

If Igbos refuse to master Nigeria politics,why not allow them to be on their own and master their own politics and the rest of Nigeria will move forward,a divided country can never move forward,if Nigeria continue to hold Igbos down they are also holding their-self down,nothing will work in Nigeria except if there is equity and justice.

What happen in Nigeria is that Igbos are strongly hated by other Nigerians,the best thing is to grant them Biafra where they will call a home and most of them will move back. The world of the old hated the Jews and the best thing they did for them is to grant them the state of Israel in 1949,that help all the Jews to move out from the Europe and the rest of the world where they are hated to their new country.

banmee:
The only reason Igbos are marginalized is because they don't understand politics and diplomacy. They are very aggressive.

Which one is understanding politics and diplomacy , they should worship Hausa-fulani and lick their asses in order to get what belong to them in a country that belong to all or to surrender their land like Kwara people did

3rdavefarms:
That was when they swear never to allow Igbo to rule again .. When they counted there loss after the civil war


Truth be told when will Igbo rule Nigeria ?

Is it not when the country is still existing, the coup that may happen very soon will end everything.
Time will tell.

All region of Nigeria should be developed by FG on equal basis, it doesnt make sense that FG will build a new rail line in Nigeria and SE will be excluded, if Nigeria don't want the SE again, they should be bold enough to grant them the Biafra they are agitating for.

aribisala0:
Emotional rubbish there are plenty of sensible alternatives to seaports in Lagos. Like I said Lagos State is building another one or is it two.
If you are talking of federaal presence what of Ekiti and Ondo and Osun states

Why can't there be a seaport in Ondo State the state with the longest coastline in the country. There could be another in BAyelsa and Akwa Ibom.There is no need to undertake risky dredging without first exhausting sensible options

Oil headquarters is not a government matter? That is the business of the oil company to decide the same applies to consulates
Afterall there is A consulate of Saudi Arabia in Kano.No one can dictate that rthan they must have their embassy in Abuja

All those things did not come about by law or decree.

You sound like the bitter ugly girl saying
Let my rival's chest be flat
let her yansh disappear
let crawcraw cover her face a

Then all those fine cars that park outsiide her house will disapear and they will start parking outside mine.

Government policy towards lagos is responsible for lagos been the bride.
For the ugly girl self she have right to protest now,na only other beautiful girls waka come
If four girls are walking on the road and only one is always been toasted by the boys wont the other three protest,FG must reduce federal presence in lagos if they want other states to develop

logica:
Sebi you were talking about viable airports. All the "renovation" work she did nko?

She mess the renovation work up but renovation work wont make an airports viable,is the FG policy that will make it work, not how beautiful the airport is looking.

aribisala0:
Lagos is building another seaport or is it another two >Why can't othe states follow.Why must the FG build it.The FG ill never have that kind of oney again. That is the bitter reality. Go and see how much of the budget is going to debt servicing alone and then salaries

The sad part is when Lagos' additional ports come on stream it might be too late for others to ever catch up and that will only mean even more bitterness

Lagos where able to do that because they have one of the highest allocation from FG, tax returns from its population which occur as a result of FG monopoly federal presence in lagos.
Why is it that SW always object any attempt to have viable sea port in Niger delta , and dredging of River Niger so that Onitsha River port can re-open again.Do you know that Onitsha have a viable River port before the civil war,even the colonial masters met the river port when they came.
Every year the FG politicians will use dredging of river Niger to siphon money, Amaechi and co have started it this year.
Can Nigeria allow Enugu to have a standard international airport with consulates for visa processing and River port in Onitsha, one standard sea port in SS and second Niger bridge.
This are the federal presence we are talking about in lagos,
Viable Sea ports
Viable International airport
Oil headquarters
consulates
Bank headquarters
Let the SE/SS have only three of the above,the population of lagos will deflate like a leaking tube.

logica:
Maybe you should ask your sister Oduah. I remember when she was accused of fraud and embezzlement, your people were all wailing, talking about "leave our sister alone". You want to eat your cake and have it?

Aviation minister don't have the power to build a sea port or airport,the budget do so,Stella Odua only bought bullet proof vehicles at inflated prices,I don't really understand what you are saying because it doesn't have any connection with the topic we are discussing.

aribisala0:
There is nothing like economic capital ,we have only one capital,

There is an airport in all major states nott just Lagos.

The Port was built by the British before independence.

There is no law forcing Banks to have their headuarters in Lagos

The bank CEOs like living in Lagos ,I wonder why

The issue here today is why there is so much money in Lagos is it because of Bridges and Embassies?

By the way all embassies are in Abuja . Even when they were in Lagsos the state governmennt coud not perform as it is now.


Is it the FG that made Dangote site his refinery in Lagos ..Why does Dangote himself live in Lagos?

Please explain how having oil headquarters contributed to the economy of Lagos before 1999. Did they start paying tax to Lagos state after 1999 because as of 1999 total IGR in lagos was 12 billion Naira a year and today it is over 300 billion


If it is all those things tell us when we can expect the economy of Abuja to start booming

FG make lagos the economic capital of Nigeria by having all its infrastructure that attract development in lagos.
Why can't FG build another standard ports and international viable airports in other parts of the country, why most a country that boast of 180 million people depend on one single port and one international airport built by colonial masters and upgraded by FG after nearly 60 years of independence,did you know that South Africa have 6 viable ports and 5 international viable airports that cover the whole country. The Bank CEO and other mega companies chooses lagos because of monopolized federal presence in lagos, Everything that make other state to diversify is located in lagos.
If other region talk about diversifying the economy,some other region will sabotage it.
The entire SS with vast access to ocean and river ports in SE is not good enough for another viable ports like Apapa to be build in it and an international standard airport like muritala in lagos cant be repeated in any other region.
Why must somebody be traveling all the way from far SS/SE/MB/North just to enter plane in lagos. Is that how other countries operate.

All these SW people bragging about lagos and how their people develop lagos should tell us one single infrastructure that was built by their governors that made lagos the economic capital of Nigeria from 1999,
All ports there was built by FG
The standard international airport there was built by FG.
Oil headquarters was manipulated to move to lagos by FG
Bank headquarters all in lagos
Embassies for visa issues are mainly in lagos
All bridges was built by FG like third mainland bridge,Iganmu-VI bridge etc( i am not talking of flyover)
