@ Super1Star: Bro, you wicked o. Lol. But na the best way to handle them be dat -- hit them back, HARD, then ara won ma bale

aguiyi:


hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, see painment.

all the trash you wrote up there has nothing to do with what i said.

i only drew your attention to what you posted, why is it so painful

You are the fool here coz you're the one that foolishly said we are "benefitting" more from SS/SE to the extent that we need you. I then had educate you that if we are benefiting from anyone it is the likes of Shell and Chevron whom the bulk of Yorubas in the industry work for.

These are international corporations that have footprints across the world. If our people don't work in their stations in the Niger Delta, they can be easily sent to work for the companies' other interests in the middle east . You be proper mumu.

aguiyi:




you guys just confirmed that you are benefiting from the easterners/southerners than they are benefiting from you and your entire region.

God is watching

You be proper ignoramus. No be those Oil companies Yorubas work in dey extract the Oil on the scale that generates the country's revenues? How many of those companies are owned or headed by an igboman? How much of all the infrastructure in the upstream sector of the Oil industry is operated by indigenous companies, besides Oil blocks? Na your papa own Shell and Chevron? You people make too much noise abeg. First succeed in kicking out those Oil companies then we can begin to talk.

Obviously your kinsmen would rather stick to trading than obtain the qualifications that would enable them land a lucrative job in an Oil company like the Yorubas are doing, perhaps that's your real problem in life. Well, in that case, bad belle is allowed.

Nigeria needs to urgently move away from its over-dependence on Oil revenues and diversify. We have more than enough natural resources that if mined and developed/processes/exported can solve this problem ones and for all.

Thankfully the incoming administration has indicated that it will tackle this problem head-on.

codedslayer:
Chest beaters that only make noise on nairaland.

LOL. Make them try am. No be Fashola or Ambode go deport them from Lagos this time around. Na regular joes like myself go bundle them inside Young Shall grow back to the East. This one no be empty threat, coz we have a governor that has pulled it off before. They can make noise all they want but it will be tit-for-tat.

HzRF:

Continue to fool ursef
Fashola only beat Akpabio in terms of media which is his (Akpabio) fault

U read it dre 165 projects ready to be commissioned
Did you knw that before
If twaz Fashola I can bet the media polishing alone d world would have known
Fashola if ready to commission ordinary Street lights in rich pple area He would have called paparazzi and will make headlines

I have come in contact with pple that has live in akwa ibom we belong to the same club so we see almost every week

He will also refuse to cajoled dat Fashola be beta cuz he's been dere and have first experience

Continue to fool thyself

Lol. There's already a thread littered with details of Fashola's numerous completed and commissioned projects in Lagos. But obviously Akpabio's projects aren't that many nor impressive coz you all are having to open one thread per project and still only a handful of projects have been completed and commissioned so far by Akpabio. Smh.

stevnwigw1:
Beginning from Saturday 22nd may 2015 all yorubas in any oil company will loose their job. The supreme council of lower niger state ,stated this in their just concluded meeting on thursday.www.e-reporters.com/?43266

Wishful thinking. How many of these Oil companies Yorubas work in are controlled by the SS/SE folks making these worthless threats? Yimu.

patmaine:


na still dat 2x2 corner shop dem dey use colonise Lagos and other south west states economically

LOL. If that's you strategy it is already DOA (Dead on Arrival) coz mass-trading in a 2x2 in no way underscores economic dominance. The dominant Yorubas of Lagos need not compete with you all in your trading 'areas of strength' as we've chosen to devote ourselves to more worthwhile socio-economically relevant and professional areas of expertise, e.g. We would rather be Accountants, Lawyers, Doctors, Engineers, Professors, and focus on Manufacturing, Civil service, Service Industry, etc.

As a matter of fact, the combined economic value of those traders in 2x2 that litter Lagos is a drop in the Ocean compared to the value of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) that Lagos keeps attracting daily, so please don't flatter yourself.

plaetton:


Such a shame to have a young man like you vomiting putrid waste . I thought that by your generation, tribal low self-esteem syndrome would have been history in Nigeria.
You father must done a terrible job of raising you, ...or perhaps, as I strongly suspect, you don't know who your father is. Tribal chauvinism, the lowest degree of idiocy, is the psychological trademark of your type.

Don't delule yourself that you represent your tribe.
You are only representing your own lowlife self.

Yeepa! All these sermonizing simply coz I support the Biafrans' secessionist ambitions? ? ?

AhmedMustapha:
Makes no sense. The aim of business is adding value thereby making profit, moving everything to one place when you can make use of the opportunities outside just makes NO sense.

I disagree bro. They'll shift base to the SS and everything will be Peaches and Cream from thereon, coz that region will become the next Dubai. You just watch. (sarcasm )

Mynd44:

I laugh when folks make false business statements. This might mislead a lot of people

I hear you, but please let all the other traders relocate back to the East. If they like they should overcrowd themselves and trade amongst their people alone,na their bizwak be dat o.

Mynd44:
Economics!!!!

You site your business closest to your market to take out the cost of transportation and also to be close to then so as to get first hand feedback.

Does the East have the market to sell the business and services they provide to? That is the deciding factor.

If everyone moves back to the east, you will have a cluster and no one to buy them so it is not good.

Bossman, you just turned yourself into a sitting duck for Biafrans to play target practice with. Free them please! Lest they start feeling important.

Biafrans, the Obi has spoken, oya make Una begin fall in line. Think EAST. >>>>

Lamido is a learner. Even if that is his/ PDP strategy, you don't divulge it to your opponent. Now the APC will prepare and preempt their moves. Smh.

sebali:

D oil in Imo is not evn as much as dat in Ondo or Edo. Den d oil in Anambra is on Igara soil.

If u say it aint 4 d oil, den plss leave d south south alone.
What do guys need us for so badly u cant stop dragging us into ur SE struggle.

Lol. What most people don't realize is that expansive Space/Land is more important to the Igbos than SS oyel . Not only is the SE landlocked, they are also running short of space -- the population pressure is majorly responsible for their penchant for spreading out beyond their borders -- that's why they clash with others over land. The SE simply wasn't blessed with good land.

SS on the other hand has more than enough Land mass to accommodate the expansionist/hegemonic ambitions of the igbos.

Their proposed Biafra must of necessity be run under a Dictatorship style of governance, to forestall further balkanization/breakup (which is bound to happen considering the multi-ethnic nature of the state). Forget the oi

Ilekeh:
SS people (not the dunce on NL) are waking up. They know Ibos claim SS for sea access and for SS oil. Without SS, Ibos are landlocked.

Ijaws think Nigeria is bad now, wait till Biafra starts calling your land a "no man's land".

Lol. Some of them have already started calling ijaws "drunkards" and "lazy" people. You know everybody else is "lazy" except the Igboman -- even S.A, Ghana, and Kenyan men are "lazy" even in the eyes of an igbo drug lord.

He's the "savior" of the black race, from the superior race . Yimu.

They should just carry go their Biafuro already.

patrick89:
I have listened to "educated" yorubas they are a bunch of half baked. I tell you, yoruba prof of history doesn't know the capital of Anambra, he doesn't know that Nsukka is in enugu and not anambra. Their knowledge on things are soo warped, and irritating. Ten yoruba prof is equivalent to 1 igbo prof. Tell me what you have achieved in your cosmetic universities? Nothing no invention! Empty efizzy names on old glory. Having lived in your midst. I can tell your in and out! You guys can claim! Owoda shildren. Have ever listened to most reports from typical yoruba town, you will vomit listening their english. And many resort to their local language. Its only in yoruba land a lady can not express herself in another language aside their Yoruba.

O.k. We are not noisemakers by nature (unlike some people, we are silent acheivers), and our Universities have way higher standards than what obtains in the SE, which explains why you all are dashing out pure-water/half-baked/Aba-made PhDs.

Any serious-minded igbo-man or woman who desires qualitative higher education WITHIN NIGERIA has limited options in the SE region; he/she must either come to the SouthWest or the head North (Uni Ilorin, ABU, e.t.c). The SW hosts the highest number of (high standard) Universities and colleges of higher learning in the entire country -- we are natural educators, quality education. Facts and Figures don't lie:

Buhari abeg no mind them. They are " Ndi Ara" Why did ask their son good luck Ebere (Ebele) Jonathan to do it for them. How about my ground father the Biafran soldiers killed for not joining them in going for their senseless war that they couldn't win. Who will compensate us?

They were faking Jonathan of course. During the the first 3 years of his tenure the FG was persecuting and arresting MASSOB and other separatist groups, the igbos turned a blind eye to this coz it was their turn to "chop" at the Federal level.

While GEJ's admin lasted, they didn't agitate for their "abandoned properties" that the ijaws and ikwerres confiscated in PH, Rivers. But right after GEJ'S loss to Buhari, they have started agitating again, screaming marginalization one the one hand, and Biafra on the other hand. Some of their leaders have gone as far as asking Buhari to intervene on their behalf in recovering their confiscated properties.

And now they want Buhari to develop the SE? ? Here I was thinking the place is already over-developed sef going by the deafening noises we here from our NL resident Biafrans. Smh.

Lol. Then I guess it's Happy Oodua year in advance to all my fellow Yorubas

Pls grow up ..if a village uses igbo market days like eke afor nkwo and orie...they are igbo

If u call God chukwu Olise..your igbo

Bearing igbo names makes u igbo
Just like bearing. Muhammad makes u a Muslim or with Muslim origin

We have igbo in edo and benue

Oh pls! I adhere to the Roman calendar but that doesn't make me Catholic nor a Roman. I speak English as an adopted second language and for easy communication with the outside world but that doesn't make me an Englishman. A people can adopt alien language and cultures for different reasons, e.g colonization, trade, religious affiliation, slavery, immigration, survival, assimilation, etc.

You this I.K, (or is it Emeka), you are a e-goat. What is your obsession with Yorubas? See who is citing "social amaljiri" in Yorubaland. Wetin consign you? They are in their land and they can do what they like. WHEN FASHOLA DEPORTED S.E AMALJIRIS CREATING A NUISANCE IN LAGOS YOUR PEOPLE SHOUTED BLUE MURDER.

What exactly do you people want? You say you want Biafra, we said fine, go home first and then we'll take you seriously, then you said no, our Land is "no man's land". Why do you people just like courting trouble? If pesin respond now una go shout "igbophobia". Smh.

midolian:
lool..no mind dem. See as dem deceive this man. The person was convinced to buy the "italian made" sandal

Yes o. Believe them at your own peril -- you don enter "one-chance" be dat. Even the votes they gave Jonathan were fake -- ask Orji Uzor Kalu -- that doesn't mean they voted for Buhari o.

Those in charge of our stomach infrastructure conjured some indefinable recipe. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan was fostered on us as our brethren. He became Ebele (instead of Ebelemi, I hear). He became an imitation Azikiwe. For the five good years the man sat as president, not one tangible project could be pointed to in Igboland that he initiated and completed. The concoction was served steaming hot and we fell to. Today, the concocted broth has gone sour just a few weeks after the elections. Shops and business premises owned by Ndigbo in Yenegoa, Bayelsa State, Dr. Azikiwe Ebele Jonathan’s home State, are being looted, burnt down just because of a commemorative rally for Isaac Adaka Boro. Very soon their houses will become abandoned properties.

Did the above quoted incident really happen to Igbos in Bayelsa? Yorubas have never meted out such treatment to the Igbo trader in Lagos, yet his hatred for us is as high as Kilimanjaro. Whatever happened to the Lower Niger solidarity? Make Una do quick go Biafra abeg. Confused bunch.

[b]Your region is sinking your here consoling yourself. I hope you have read this/
[/b?

were the elderly women who were busy harassing guests in the name of praise singing and would not leave until you part with money, there were the men with their public address system which they use in praise singing but which is disturbance and yet, there were Yoruba children in the mould of almajiris with their begging bowls scrambling for left-over and at the same time soliciting for alms.


Fellow guests on my table at the event who were also journalists expressed their concern in unison about the growing trend of almajiri of various categories in Yorubaland. They all agreed that it has become a social problem. We started discussing and realised that the culture of begging in the mould of almajiris is alien to Yoruba culture. In those days before the advent of the British, the Yorubas are a proud people known for their hard work and industry. They practiced hoe agriculture and were well known as traders and for their crafts. Yoruba artists have produced masterpieces of woodcarving and bronze casting, some of which date from as early as the 13th century. Many of Nigeria 's best-known artists and writers are Yoruba. Other occupation of the Yorubas at that time were drumming and masquerading which would now be called showbiz. They engage in all the foregoing occupation but a Yoruba man or woman (able bodied) would not beg for alms as it is considered shameful and something akin to a curse. The Yorubas cherish their oriki (folklore) which is a poetic version of eulogizing the exploits of their progenitors which is an incentive for them to excel and even surpass their progenitors. The Yorubas have harsh words for lazy people. Such people are objects of ridicule and butt of jokes in the society. With this background, it is understandable why we became worried with the array of beggars at the Ilesha ceremony.


After leaving the party, I reflected on the scenario of the almajiris in Ilesha and I was able to draw a relationship between Political almajiris and social almajiris. I discovered that social almajiri had its root in the advent of the politics of do -or-die introduced into the political lexicon of Yorubaland by apostles of mainstream politics especially ex-President Obasanjo. The grand Patron of political almajiris who recently passed away was Chief Lamidi Adedibu. Many have argued that his death has led to the proliferation of almajiris in Yorubaland. This is because those he hitherto dole handouts to must look for other means of survival since he is no more. These political almajiris are ready to exchange their mothers for few coins. A new political class of men without integrity and anything goes was created and they became political almajiris who survive on crumbs from their masters. They would rig, kill, maim and do all sort of things to acquire political power. With the ascension of these men in power, good governance became a thing of the past. Our collective patrimony was squandered by these political almajiris. Nigeria has never been so blessed with petro dollar with oil selling for $156 dollars per barrel but Nigeria has never been so poor with a chunk of the population living below poverty line. So versions of the political almajiris are the social almajiris that now invade ceremonies in Yorubaland. With these children begging for alms, a ready made market for thuggery and other social vices is assured. The activities of the beggars are not limited to parties. At bus stops in our cities, it is a common sight to see women most of who are still in their mid thirties, who would strap a baby at their backs and approach men with stories of despair to solicit for alms. Many of them would end up in bed with such men. This is another brand of alamajiri and these are Yoruba women. A violent version of almajiri but which is gradually being tackled in Lagos is the 'Area Boys' syndrome. These are Yoruba street urchins who are semi- armed robbers.


The underlying factor in this new trend is failure of the Nigerian State on one part and the laziness on the part of these women. Most of them don't want to work, In those days, when everybody's occupation was farming you dare not beg. You must find something to do. But these days, our women and children are too lazy. It is either they steal or beg. In most cases a mother and child become almajiris at social events. So the question now is can a Yoruba man now refer derisively to a Hausa beggar as almajiri when we have many of them now in Yorubaland? The answer is no! This trend must be arrested before it goes out of hand. The almajiris in the North these days engage in novel forms of drug abuse like sniffing of gutter water to get intoxicated, sniffing of adhesives and other drugs so that they are ever ready to unleash terror on the rest of the society whenever they are called upon to do so by the political wing of almajiris. I strongly recommend that guests at public functions must stop encouraging almajiris by giving them money.


But can government which itself owns the political wing of almajiris arrest this trend? Time will tell.

LOL. But you igbomen are stubborn sha. I give it that to you guys. Even after you have been exposed as frauds you will still be arguing blindly.

Ever tried buying a Tommy HilfiNger knockoff from an iboboy? He will argue with you till kingdom come that the shirt is "Made in Turkey" and not Aba -- even after you have pointed out that the Hilfiger label reads HilfiNger (there should be no 'N' in the name). He will still continue to argue. I just love them peeps. . Smh. I love y'all. For real.

You people should allow them celebrate their "Aba-made" PhDs Jo. Nothing authentic comes from the SE -- all na "Ofege" (fake). Na today? Abeg free Emeka and his people as they celebrate their "China" certs. At all at all na im bad

LKO:
How qualitative are these doctorate degrees? UNIZIK in the last five years seems to be dishing out PhD to lecturers in south eastern universities all in a bid to meet up with NUC accreditation requirements. Just last year alone, a dept in Ebonyi State University graduated six PhD degree holders. Sadly, the six docs are lecturers in the dept, the dept has only one prof and this single prof is the co-ordinator of the PhD programme in the dept and he also supervises the thesis of all the six new docs who are also his colleagues. After the graduation of the new docs, NUC gave the dept a temporary accreditation status to admit undergraduates.

Our PhD holders should be scholars indeed, the number of doctorate degree holders is of no importance. We cant compare the PhD programme in Ife, Ibadan, Unilag, Zaria and the cash and carry programme in EBSU, IMSU, UNZIK etc.

I can bet my last kobo, that 85% of the new doctorate degrees holders of Igbo extration, obtained their PhD's from unizik, Ebsu, Imsu. This is a fact.

LOL. It's not called "Aba-Made" PhD for nothing -- nothing authentic comes from that corridor, all na "China" . The average Igboman DESPERATELY needs to reassure himself that he's "somebody" owing to his innate inferiority complex. Allow them please. No be today Dem begin beat chest.
