Are you crazy or stupid?.. Did you not read that the oil that feeds this nation is also drilled from ondo state? Or there are no yorubas in edo state? Or lagos that is about to commence production of crude oil is not a yoruba state.... Bleep y'all, @babyosisi my a ancestors who own ijede land in lagos where humble fishermen and did not ask for Lagos to be made a capital, coming to tell 'em that there land is no man's land is not only degrading but also provocative.
No there are not Yorubas in Edo state except for migrants working in oil, agberos and taxi drivers. So you people are now switching story to Edo after you people desperately try attached by force to delta. Like I said, yoruba have never and will never be ND no matter how desperately una try. You people are just attaché by force migrants
No you don't have oil in Ondo state. You have stolen oil in Ondo state.
And for years, you people have screamed of oil in lagos yet till date, not one single oil drop came out of lagos despite una vast statement and useless searching. Abeg tell me real life story, not yoruba delusions
Anymore questions?

Have you found your oil yet? or still looking for it? iddiooot, check under your bed the oil might be there!


Ibos will never get their hands on the ever elusive oil!

What an epistle! Check your spellings below and see how educated you are, junk yard spare parts dealer! An imbecilic son of village iddiotts put together!

Ibos have no oil. Yoruba have oil in every part of Delta they are native to and all the oil wells in Ondo. You will never get your ibotic hands on the oil. See how you were chased in Kogi when you try to steal oil from there, thieves!
Nwoke go get a brain transplant, you are in desperate need for it. Infact your stupidity is so rare in this world, you truly deserve an award for it.
Spelling error is common when typing using a smartphone which does it's own autocorrect. Compare that to a stark illiterate that not only need spell check but is equally uneducated about his own country and even when spelled out to him, another member providing him a proof , the deluded buff00n have so limited brain cells he's unable to grasp the simplest information given to him.

Nwoke your stupidity is extremely rare. Pray to God you don't have children because your stupidity is a disease we don't want to spread. We already got Ebola and HIV running around the world, we don't want another incurable disorder.

And while I'm at it permit me to laugh at "yorubas native in delta" hahaha haha hahaha ROFLMFAO. Is it only delta include usa too. Hahaha haha

Don't mind them
Adebolajo and his brother that slaughtered a British soldier on the street are from okigwe
The Yoruba alqueda and ISIS member are from Mbaise
the Yoruba gangsters terrorizing the UK populace are from ikeduru
The clique of Yoruba credit card fraudster and insurance dupes all over the USA are from the moon

Someone says yorubas are specialists at projecting whatever evil they do unto Igbos hoping it sticks
They will lie and make up stories to buttress a point
Oh they really do. I remember seeing an article where two igbo arm robbers were caught in Lagos, after several background checks they ended up finding those boys were Yoruba. Even in my neighborhood, there was this Nigerian guy that kept using fake checks to buy groceries in the only African store around here. I'm going to assume the ediot did it not just the African store. I know it was the African store that reported him though. Why he did it multiple times knowing the check will bounce, only God knows. The Ghanaians that owed the store were pissed off, even promoted a reward for the assistant in the dude's arrest. Everybody was under the illusion the dude's name was Chukwuma. When he was finally caught thats we ended up finding out the niggas name was actually Femi and Chukwuma was just one of his "friends". That was the sickest of it all, the guy was using his friend's name for check fraud knowing fully well if anyone ever notice, the first person they'll blame is a Chukwuma. It's f2king sad. The only thing that said that igbo dude was the Ghanaians owners. If not for them being invested in the whole case, that nigg@ would have been rotting in jail for a crime he didn't commit.

As for their lies. Shebi you no see wetin I had to go through with one on this page. Despite evidence presented the dude still maintains his lies. Yoruba and lies na wa oo.

At least you agreed with me that no oil in iboland. Good for you that you didn't include any ibo state in Niger delta. You left Yoruba states out your list but Yoruba states will never be left behind, ibos leaving there land for mine is a testament to that. You have heard of Ondo, a Yoruba state that is very important to the survival of any ibo living and unborn, cos you have to get there before getting to your London that's in my backyard. Edo have Yoruba part and delta have Ugbo people not to talk of The Itsekiri.


Backward Cannibals can't tell the truth, many years of eating fellow human beings have stunted your ability to reason and be truthful!
My God can you stop displaying your craze srupid1ty. Just because you are uneducated evident by being a Yoruba agbero does not mean you actually have to prove you an slowpoke. It's not a competition whose the dumbest between you and a worm. You've already proven you beat it ten times fold.
Ondo state was NEVER an oil producing state. Your OBJ deliberately sectioned off a portion of Delta oil producing areas to Ondo in order to give you people an "oil producing title". This is a well known secret in delta state and something ppl are actually fighting to fix. Imo, Abia and Anambra are oil producing states, not to talk to Anioma included.
Spare us the self delusions of being an oil producing region. Your people are thieves. Nothing more, nothing less hence that area will never know peace as it still don't till this day.

ROTFLMFAOOOO @iteskiri being Yoruba. ROFLMFAO. Don't even make me fucking laugh. Only on NL and yoruba Newspaper are that BS reality. Anyone born and bred in delta knows if you dare call an Itsekiri man a yoruba, he'll chop your f2king head off for the insults. This ediotic man. I dare you, Infact I quadruple dare you to head to delta and call an Itsekiri man a yoruba and see if you'll come back alive.
Ha. So you lazy clown are still claiming Edo state indigenous as yoruba. I laugh in Chinese. The Edo have told you thieves repeatedly they are in no way, shape or form Yoruba. Rather you were their slave, nothing more, nothing less. Why don't you baboon looking clowns get it through una head.
The only place yoruba can lay any claim is Lukumi in Anioma and even then you f00l migrated there. My people decided to be nice and give a small portion of our ancestry territory to you ungrateful lots [that's actually the definition of ACCOMDATING that you imbeciles clearly don't understand]. That's the only yoruba area in delta state. And even then it's predominately igbo speaking, majority claim igbo heritage and only a handful actually try to retain their yoruba origin. When you go up there, you won't for a second know those people used to yoruba. Even when we accomodate you lazy lots, gave una free lands, we still dominated you monkies. Btw: since your Lukumi ancestors didn't pay one dime for any of the lands they inhabit today, the property still belong to all Aniocha community that donated lands to them so they can be kicked out back to SW and you people won't have any claim to any delta area but since they denounced their heritage excluding a handful, we let them stay.

Oh and for your information Ondo is NOT ND. If we include you Yoruba snake way of dragging your useless state in ND then going by that logic, Imo and Abia were equally included as ND by that reconstruction definition of ND buffoon. Pick up a f2king book and read before making a fool of yourself.
The real definition of ND are the SS states and I ask yet again, where in ND are you clowns found? Not claiming etnic groups and states that are bot Yoruba in una greedy attempt to steal as usual but actual real territories.
I can accurately call myself a ND until my people are separated from delta state. You and the rest of your yoruba people are NOT and will NEVER be part of ND no matter how desperately you people try.

Have you ever asked yourself why one would never hear any negative report on YORUBA'S leaving outside yoruba land??.
»» They are respective pple
»» They will never go pass their boundary
»» They deal with matters intelligently rather than aggressively
»» They value their peac of mind and you will never see them doing things that would jeopardise their feauture and that of their kids and many more.

But the IGBO's are direct opposite of the above

why?
Are you serious? So the yorubas filled in UK jails are what?
Yorubas in FBI most wanted list are what? Mind you there have been more yorubas in FBI most wanted than any other ethnic group from Nigeria

guy,u are foolish..abia,imo and recently anambra are major producers of oil in this country
Funny thing is that oil in Ondo state was stolen from Delta state hence the constant clash between Ijaws and the yorubas there. The Ijaws actually want to return back to delta to be alongside their brothers. Yoruba have always been an oil thievery community since beginning of time.

I've read most posts relating to this issue, the thread u posted even support my view. Those that supported the oba are wrong , they know it and hide their statement under their personal hateful view of the ibos . By looking at what they said, u will know that they where tribalistic .but when the abuse of the obas position was abused, the point of discussion changed .
How many high ranking and respected yorubas hve u seen surporting the obas statement.

U can call the oba names and classify him as stupid , but once his subjects start reacting, hatefull words might become useless then o.
I still believe 90 % easterners living in lagos would love peace to reign , my fear is the 10 % like you who want lagos to go up in flames because of ur refusal to understand the sensibilities and political sensitiveness of another tribe.
Dude you can't eat your cake and still have it?

Did your people support the oba more so than condemn and igbo insulting him yes or no?

On page 0, was their not more igbo tauntiing, insults and downright agbero act over the matter than igbos insulting your oba yes or no?

On that same page 0 also, was the first post from an igbo say and I quote "and the intimidation continue... Oba, indeed. undecided


Let the so called Oba know that power belongs only to Almighty God and He gives to whosoever He wishes" yes or no?

On that page 0 also, was the first post from a yoruba say and I quote "not mincing words atall
the oba bares it all
raw and stark
bottom line is
he spoke the truth" yes or no?

Was the second yoruba to post say and I quote "These Yorubas have goooooood leaders.
How can somebody leave his land to come and select your leader for you?
Big Ups to the Oba.
Lagos has been lead by an opposition party for too long. Now there is a golden opportunity and some people from another land are trying to stop it? That's not fair. I just hope they won't report him to ICC" yes or no?

Was the only person that actually condemn the post on that page 0 not a SS under the name of "kome" yes or no?

All this comment happened prior to the first igbo person that insulted that useless oba?

Dude you can't switch things up since the heat is turned up. Your people started the mockery, the taunting which fueled more anger and resulted to your oba getting bombarded with insults. That thread alone Proves it. You can't just pick and choose what you want to see just to vindicate your own self delusion.

If yoruba did not start the aggression, insults and taunting and actually condemn the act when it first came out like you trying to rewrite, it would have died down just like the hausa boy in twitter without much wahala. No your people wanted to do una usual chest beating gra gra and now you've gotten our attention, you people are recanting. Just stop with the playing victim card. You all started it, now we actually want to see if you ppl will dare drown us in lagoon if we don't vote who una want.

Please, I do not intend to join issues in the main discussion of this thread for now but we need to set a record straight.....
Ilaje LGA in Ondo state is one of the major oil producing areas in Nigeria and it is in Yoruba land.
Infact crude oil was first discovered in Araromi (a village in Ilaje land) by the Germans in 1908. As against Oloibori as claimed, it was just that commercial exploration didn't start immediately there

Cc: whitecat1
Kei and i was here thinking baylesa was where oil was first discovered. At least that's the history lesson taught in my younger years. Chei. Rewrite things on history don happen again. So yoruba wants to take the credit from Bayelsa as being the first state where oil was first discovered.
Hmmm. This just vindicated one of my earlier statement about yoruba. Hmm na wa oo

Nwoke I'm not even going to argue with you on the German discovering oil in illaje first. That's una story. As for oil in ondo. grin Don't worry. Delta gob is already working on fixing that injustice done by obj. No worries sef. You people can still continue claiming it for now though.

Sorry there's no such thing as Delta ibo! You were refugees in delta during the war and you are squatters there today. We have Lagos ibo, Kano ibo and Delta ibo. You are not native to the land! You are claiming just as you claim anywhere that strikes you fancy! You are former refugees and now squatters!
OMG didn't need a Jesus to know you are yoruba. IQ is less than that of a inaminate object so e no surprise me that this ediot didn't know their indigenous lands in delta state that belongs to igbo. See yoruba double standard. Buff00n crying that people are calling yorubas "no mans land" yet are equally trying to rewrite history. Ewu gambia.
The difference between us and you lazy touts is that despite una constant rewrite, noone cared to cry out or even pay you touts mind. Why? Because we actually still hold control of our lands while for una, everybody is taking a huge chunk here and there. una precious lagos is being slowly taken away from una by nonindigieous till the point your oba is crying like an agbero buffoon. Your people in Ibadan threw temper tantrum on foreigners taking over. Even illorin belongs to the fulani. Ha illorin Emir would be proud. Ha!!!!

While I'm at it, you still have not answered my question. What part of ND do yoruba make up? I don wait. Is it delta, rivers, akwa ibom, cross rivers, edo, etc? Which one is it?

When I read most of the statement in the thread, it followed a pattern . The oba did something wrong the ibos castigated him , called him names, abused him and cursed him . Because of the reaction of the ibos , some yorubas felt insulted and replied negatively due to their reverence for the post the oba held . You can see that the issue has shifted from "what the oba said", "if he is right or wrong" to "what can you do if the oba said so " .
Most yorubas do not accept what the oba said , but they reacted to the ibos reaction, these reaction is what u are also reacting to thereby shifting the issue from the statement of the oba to the issue of cowardice, hatred and all others. If the ibos have waited for the yorubas to tell the oba he is wrong without recourse to abuse and threat, the issues might not have resulted to this.

You cannot compare the statements made by a citezen to a statement made by an oba, both are handled differently .
In yorubaland , high ranking obas are well respected, and their is a process of solving mistakes made by those who occupy the seat. Abuse of that post might make the subjects react , the reaction and the subsequent re-reaction is what I do not know or want experience. And if you also do not want to experience such , the catalyst that assist such reactions should be taking away.
When you call a man coward, lazy, dirty, u tell him his land does not belong to him , even if it is true ,I wonder how you expect him to view you, with love and respect? Naa! , I dnt think so .
You can punch ur friend and he might laugh it off, u might even slap him and it will end up being solved over a couple of beers, but you poke him in eye! , friendship will be trown into the dustbin .
I didn't even read this. After reading your first sentence and seeing the out right lie and playing victim, I knew the rest is going to follow through.

My answer to your lies, make sure the evidence is not still out.

Here you go. Compare and contrast on just page 0 alone, how many of your brothers supported and taunted igbos based on the obas stupidity rants to how many igbos insulted him or even how many Yorubas condemn him. After you do so then read the entire thread from beginning to end and redo the same comparison

I am certain individuals are grateful to individuals that help them out or show them mercy or are kind to them

What a ridiculous thing to expect
No mind them. They don't even feed, clothe or house any igbo for free yet they always shouting down our throat how "accommodating" they as if what they provide is not what others provide in their region. Infact their people went to Enugu and demanded free lands from Enugu government. How many Igbo people went crazy over their ridiculous lazy demand?

When I heard what the oba of lagos said, I felt bad and also did not agree with him. But I also felt that the matter should not have been handled the way it was handled by some people.

The Yorubas hold their elders and obas in high exteem even though they do not support everything the oba says or does. The yorubas have a framework of correcting issues and in this case such framework should have been adopted.
The ibos should have allowed the yorubas handle the wrong statement made by the oba the way the yorubas do . As most ibos can see , most yorubas do not surpport the statements atributted to the oba and they should have left it to the yorubas to solve the issue in a peaceful manner.
But now the issue has been heated up , ultimatums has been issued, threats given and outcome of a fight between both tribes postulated.

The tongue is verry powerful and people should learn how to control it . Calling the oba names like fool, illeterate, king of touts, coward will not solve the issue.
Actually No. You might want to go and recheck that thread about your oba making those statement. Majority of your yoruba brothers supported him, even went to the extent of taunting igbos. The insults to your oba is what resulted out from you people taunting. That's one thing I can't stand about you people. You ppl try to lie through your teeth and play victim.

When that hausa boy went on twitter and requested for the killing of Igbo ppl during the presidency election..how many igbos went crazy over it? Very few and that's because we actually saw the northerners condemn the boy in Linda ikeji, twitter and other blogs till the point the boy started recanting and lying he was "hacked". Even though, we know the north did the whole swamble to save face and there defense most likely wasn't their true intent but the fact they did it calmed down nerves. While for this one, all we saw was out right justification, applause, agreeing with the Oba and even taunting. Now that una gra gra have finally caught many attention and your oba is getting insulted daily, you ppl want to recant and play victim. Spare us una usual act pls.

Not all of us are like this coward OP. Not all of us will twist it like it is just to appease you people hateful, vile and despicable hatred una bore for the average igbo person.

No it vindicates what all have said before. ALL of una are cowards. The northerners reside in every region in Nigeria and they don't try that sh1t in daylight in other regions. Majority of the clashes that went between north and indigenous in SS, SE and even MB are usually conducted in the middle of the night when ppl are sleeping. The north attacks at night and then run off before the community wakes up and fight them back. Excluding their region, north, Only in SW do we witness them do it in broad daylight and in each swamble they end up beating una silly. There was even an article they physically attacked yorubas in lagos over an Ashawo.

Absolute Crap! Why is it wherever you Igbos people go all of a sudden the indigenous people are lazy? When did the SA government start doing things for people there?

You go to the US and call AA lazy, you go to China and call Chinese lazy, you go to Lagos and call Yorubas lazy. While you work hard on criminal activities and nothing else. I personally have never met a professional igbo person in SA. But i won't derail this thread with this
nonsense.

By the way you always have a disgusting line to insult your hosts, in Lagos "its no mans land", in the UK "its our wealth stolen by the British", in South Africa " IT'S PAYBACK TIME" You people are true parasites with big mouth nonsense!

**Modified** I truly respect Yorubas, South Africans do no do talk talk they only know how to knife a big mouth to oblivion and now. They are warriors, you spew all this thrash by morning you are calling for the UN and shouting Xenophobia holding up placards!

But I encourage you, go ahead taunting the Yorubas, the people who only do things when necessary, instead of avoiding necessary no to occur you are here insulting other people from other countries. Mmm, SA Xenophobia will be a child's play to what fedup Yorubas will do to you.

Stupidity kills!
The more you speak, the more it's obvious you are a yoruba hiding behind another group to spew your hatred. Lady we are used to your cowardly ppl act. The minute you started knowing "Nigeria tribes" and very invested in Nigeria gave you away as one from the clan of cowards. This your post actually proves some more cause only the waste excuse of a human space tribe drag others during their dance of shame.

First the only African group known to call AA lazy are yoruba. The reason why Nigerians are hated among AA community are fucking yoruba hence the tribe they always drag during their belittle of Nigeria are predominately Yoruba. If you doubt me, head to any AA forums and read their own comments. Next time you want to run your mouth and lie like the little yoruba cowards you all are, then be sure not to try and twist a story infront of someone that reside among the AA community.

Yes your people are lazy. The only tribe in Nigeria, excluding northerners, still till date depends HIGHLY on government and foreigners to feed them are Yoruba. The only tribe that goes to another person's region and demand free lands, foods, etc are Yoruba. Even the freaking northern don't do that. The only tribe whose leaders actually bribe through food just for vote are Yorubas. You can't deny wtf you people are. YOU HAVE AND WILL ALWAYS BEEN A LAZY COWARDS. Everybody knows that and it's not a secret in Nigeria.

Try your fucking worse. All you people know how to do is loudmouth and take credit of others winning of a fight. Every fighy you people have been in, You've been whupped. Even damnoey women,emphasis on WOMEN, defeated una strongest warriors. The north kills you people in your lands and in their lands and what do you Yorubas do? Deny it as much as una can. The only fight you people ever won at is actually a wrestling match among eachother h ence you lazy clowns try desperately and pathetically trying g to take credit for "winning" the Biafra war. Despite it was MB and northerners soldiers that did most of the fighting and the West countries supplied most of the weapons. All you lazy fools did was sit una fat @ss suggesting starvation and waiting to take credit as usual.
Like we said, try your f2king worse!!! Let's not forget outside of BH and militants, the last group that pushed nigerian police force were Bakassi Boys. Better go and recheck which tribe predominately made up of Bakassi boys. Ewu!!!! Yoruba baboon monkey
