You cannot rewrite history guy. You people are ingrates. Lagos is yoruba territory, and it was under the same Tinubu that igbos were first made cabinet members with influential portfolios, his successors also continued the trend. I am yet to hear other ethnicities in Lagos lament and go on blackmail fits about not being given political appointments in Lagos.
Are ibos the only non-natives in Lagos??

The current representative of Oshodi-Isolo constituency at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Jude Emeka Idimogu, is ibo, originally from Imo state. There are ibo councillors all across Lagos today. But like I said before, ibos are a very funny set of people. Unless you guys are allowed to completely dominate the political/economic landscape of wherever you find yourselves, you will always find one reason or another to cry foul and claim marginalisation. But sorry, it is only in iboland you will ever have that level of dominance and absolute control.

You guys are not the only non-Yorubas in the SW. Besides, maybe you all should also lead by example by creating an enabling environment for the non-natives in your midsts in iboland to also succeed. I mean, let others see examples of non-ibo success stories in iboland for a change. You guys are given the freedom to thrive in other people's lands (like the Canadians and Yorubas have exemplified), but one hardly hears of success stories of non-ibos in iboland. It's about time iboland is opened up so that other non-ibos can also prosper in your midst for a change. Become givers for change, and not takers.

Is Iragbiji in Lagos state?
You'all should mind your own states too.Hiding under the cover of this is Yoruba land to rob the indigenous Lagosians their God given land and rights to govern themselves is unacceptable.You came from other states to dominate them, same thing you are accusing Igbo of trying to do, is exactly what you'all are doing to Lagos state indigenes who has not ruled the state since 1999.
How many indigenous Lagosians are senators,Houese of Reps from 1999 till date?That is an injustice!It is only allowed to happen in Eko and no where else in Yorubaland.

Did your father chase you away from home. Did Tinubu come to your father's house to flog him?

A kid born out of wedlock won't know the value of fatherhood.

AlabiJ:
Op, what exactly do you mean by 'scorned in Nigeria'? Why are you ibos like this for God's sake?? Is it Yoruba people that are governors in iboland? Or are the hausas the ones in your ibo states assemblies? Or na Fulani dey represent ona for house of reps and senate? So what exactly do you all want? Are there no ibo ministers in this administration occupying the SE quota? Have ibos not been elected into political offices in Lagos? Have ibos not been appointed into Lagos government at various times in the past and present? Would you be feeling this same way if Peter Obi was the current VP under another Fulani Aboki in the person of Atiku Abubakar? Are ibos not trading in peace in every nook and cranny of Nigeria that you are claiming that they are 'scorned in Nigeria'?

Must an iboman lord himself over other Nigerians for you people to be happy in this country? Or is it until other tribes in Nigeria elect ibos as governors in their various states before you people feel you are getting your dues? Are ibos the only Nigerians occupying high positions in foreign countries that you people are resorting to this cheap and emotional blackmail?

If this is an attempt to blackmail others to cede the presidency to you guys, then you are the biggest jokers. There are many other tribes that are yet to taste the presidency as well all across Nigeria, and they are not going about threatening or blackmailing the rest of the country as a result. Make una rest, ok?

Yes Igbos are scorned in todays Tinubu Yorubaland.He made sure by sending out his thugs to disenfranchise Igbo people in Lagos state on election day and his wife couldn't hide it when she said,'Igbo we no trust una again'.

kingzizzy:
Yes government took the verbal threats of unarmed people very serious but is rehabilitating armed Boko haram members back into society and rolling out Ruga programmes for armed killer herdsmen who murder Nigerians everyday

Dey there dey compare yourself with Buhari's brothers,I wonder who did this to you .
The choice is yours my brother but Biafra ain't coming soon do not be deceived.Not because I do not like Biafra to be actualized but the fact is, Biafra is not in the agenda of world powers and nobody is negotiating for Biafra exist.Fact!

kingzizzy:
Nobody is dying for Nnamdi Kanu, people are dying because the security forces left their role of being protectors of life to become killers of life. Pro-democracy activists, Biafran agitators, occupy Nigeria, Shite protesters, have all been killed just because the security agents did not like what they are protesting about. Very soon, you will hear the same about revolution now protesters.

The larger picture here which Nigerians fail to see is that it does not matter if a group is proscribed or not, protesting against government, which is a right, now attracts a death warrant. Freedom of expression has been taken away from Nigerians using state terror. What is the point of democracy when people can no longer air their grievances without risk of being shot an killed? Its a tragedy

So why protest when you know you'll get shot at, more especially, when the government have made your group number 1 enemy of the state and of course your group through their loud mouths promised to destroy the zoo,should the zoo sit and watch you destroy her as your supreme leader has boasted?The zoo is simply fighting back.Ndi egbe onu,ndi oji onu egbu Odum.The government is unfortunately taking your empty threats serious.

kingzizzy:
Oh you wanted Nnamdi Kanu to stay put while the assassination team of Soldiers the Nigerian government sent his house to kill him completed their evil mission? Nice one

The story of Nigeria is the killing of unarmed people and it will never change. If it is not Boko haram shooting you from the back, its the Nigerian Army/Police shooting you from the front, if its not ISWAP shooting you from the left, its killer herdsmen shooting you from the right. Life means nothing in Nigeria

So I hope Igbos get Biafra one day, where nobody is shooting anyone from any direction unless absolutely necessary and only as last resort.

I did not want Nnamdi Kanu dead and likewise do I want to see IPOB youths continue dying for Nnamdi Kanu.Nnamdi Kanu run away from danger and at the same time be raising 3 headed dragon flag from the safety of his home in exile.my point is that, he shouldn't continue endangering the lives of our youths from the comfort of exile.Everyone has seen he wasn't truthful when he was screeming 'Biafra or death'.
And finally,Biafra is not coming anytime soon because nobody is working towards her actualization at the moment.

kingzizzy:
To be looking at Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB is to miss the point. The point here is that some of Igbos are tired of the failure called Nigeria. Some of us want Nigerians to know that we are not happy with Nigeria. I personally want Igbo land to be an independent country. The only people who have been able to convey this message to Nigeria is IPOB. I cannot look at Nigeria that is poverty capital of the world with several terrorist groups like Boko haram, ISWAP and killer herdsmen who are all armed murdering people all across the country and I say this is the dream country I wish for myself and my children.

So for those of us who have lost fate in Nigeria, those of us who want Igbo land to be an independent self governing country, IPOB is not the enemy. When IPOB are shot and killed, when they are arrested and tortured, it is a reminder of what Nigeria stands for, suffering, oppression and death. IPOB are just people who have refused to sit down and accept the stark reality of a Nigeria that has already failed. Its not easy to believe in Biafra and be prepared to stand up for it, even at the risk of being killed or tortured. Only God knows that there are very few Nigerians, if any, that will be prepared to stand for Nigeria at the cost of their lives

Even Nnamdi Kanu the founder of IPOB refused to stand for Biafra at the cost of his life so why should our naive and ignorant boys be the one to die for it?
Nigeria has failed but we are not the only one living in Nigeria,why must we commit suicide all the time because of situations of things in Nigeria?
Mind you,Anyone standing in front of a moving train it's not bravery but an act of stupidity and suicidal too.
Please the live of every Igbo youth matters Biafra or no Biafra.

Joe Gutterkwe of Lagos state.

Nice move.2023 Abia state will be returned to the people of Abia.

Epstein:
Sellouts...........Judas type

Who are the sellouts and why?

kingzizzy:
I dont think people understand what is going on here. If people do not learn to stand against injustice and oppression then the zoo that IPOB called Nigeria is a compliment. Do people think this an IPOB situation? This is about the fact that government and its security agencies have left the law and are doing the opposite of what they should be doing. The entity that has the greatest duty to preserve life and uphold the law is government and its security agencies, not Nnamdi Kanu or IPOB. Why would a government that is supposed to be saving lives be the one that is sending Soldiers to and kill an unarmed Nnamdi Kanu in his house? Why would a professional security force still be stripping people they arrest naked in this 21st century? Why would a security agent be searching someones phone when no law authorises them to do so? Why would anyone be arresting anybody over Biafran paraphernalia when no law bans it?

This lawlessness that people see today and condone because it is IPOB is the lawlessness government will continue. In the future, anyone who government or the security agents dont like his face will receive the same treatment that that people see IPOB get but condone.

Everybody understands that Nigeria is no respecter of human rights except IPOB youths.When will they understand the group has been unfairly proscribed and designated as a terrorist group within Nigeria?Until that terrorist tag is removed from the group anyone meeting under IPOB is taking a deadly risk.The political leadership,traditional leadership and religious leaders of Igbo land are not interested in Nnamdi Kanu's Biafra agitation, so why is he still deceiving the youths that Biafra is coming knowing fully well that there is no such thing?Is Biafra his personal project?Majority of ndi Igbo don't care about IPOB anymore since they refuse to listen to wise counsel of the elders.They are practically on their own.I was once a sympathizer but not anymore.

IPOBs are something else.

kingzizzy:
But it is the federal government that is unnecessarily killing people

You maybe right but is up to the youths to preserve their lives by staying out of trouble with the federal government.
Mind you,IPOB defined Nigeria as a ZOO and I wonder why you want the country you called a zoo to act like a civilised nation when dealing with you.
Nnamdi Kanu saw danger and ran away, that is his fundamental human right to preserve his life,likewise IPOB youths should also run away and save their lives from terrorist security agents.When will IPOB youths understand that they are alone in this Nnamdi Kanu's personal project?

flyingpig:
I blame the youths listening to him and wasting their lives, getting buried in shallow unmarked graves.

No matter how difficult you find it in nigeria, taking that path to suicide won't liberate you. Every follower of kanu is a dunce, let his kids abroad come and face Nigerian police by themselves I'll take him seriously.

They don't know what they are doing that Nnamdi Kanu is callously leading to them to their deaths while he rant away on twitter and facebook from Europe and while he continue to enjoy monthly contributions from surviving IPOB members.

MelesZenawi:
Lol

Are you serious?

I thought biafra is for all ethnicities while Igbos are meant to be dying on other ethnicities.


Lack of focus and sheer arrogance without reasoning and re-designing an agitation always ends as fruitless efforts.

Every live matters and more especially at this time,Igbo lives matter more than ever before.Our youths shouldn't be dying unnecessarily.

flyingpig:
my brother which international community will back you? US has consistently re-iterated its support to a United Nigeria as an anchor or power bloc in West Africa. Same as UK. Who's then left when they control NATO and UN?

Leave matter for Matthias de Ligt All of you don't know it's easier to break away from Nigeria when you convince UK you want to return to pre-1914 independent Southern Nigeria and abandon the 1914 union or merger. International community like when bounnferies fall back to what they used to be, than when it is totally re-designed. When you now have an independent Southern Nigeria you can easily practise a confederacy where each region is largely independent. You can also choose to include secession clause. These are more realistic, a secedding SW, SS, SE is more difficult to stubbornly resist by the North than a single SE. Again, Kalu is short-sighted or simply a clout and attention chaser.

He is one of those deceiving those naive youths from a safe distance that international community is supporting IPOB and Biafra agitation and by so doing putting them in harms way.

flyingpig:
please if they are going to war they should count ebonyi out of it. These scarce infrastructure Dave has built after decades of negligence in the past won't be destroyed in my lifetime, especially when international community doesn't care a bit about aiding biafra.

I pity this young misinformed and brainwashed youths who has been deceived to believe they are actually fighting for Biafra without knowing their Supreme leader is using Biafra to get rich like Uwazuruike and co.The blood of every Igbo youth killed by criminal Nigeria security forces is squarely in the hands of Nnamdi Kanu.

Yes o,OUK is building bridges everywhere .
OUK 2023!

Okoroawusa:
what exactly do you IPOBS want?

carry una up...no!

put una for ground...no!

so the governor has done bad constructing the round about now?

okwu unu dikwa strong o!

Okoroawusa ndi IPOB bu ozu nwa bekee

Gov Ikpeazu if you pay workers salaries it will go a long way to ameliorate living standard of our long suffering people in Abia state.Thank.

OPPPS:
Wailing children. What 3 ministers of Aviation from the east, Oduah, Chikwe and Chidoka could not do in 16 yrs. A minister from Katsina state has just put Una to shame

I am a progressive who believes that, what is worth doing is worth doing well.Buhari can do better than commissioning an uncompleted renovated airport that still looks like a pig farm after a whole year.What is all the fanfare about?I have seen Kano state,Rivers state airports etc built to international standard and was opened without much noise. Honestly I am disappointed and not impressed.You can say what you like based on tribalism and nepotism but fact is fact.I don't care who was there before.

OUK 2023!

MelesZenawi:
Should I now arrogate to myself the monopoly of wisdom over Ijaws affairs?

You said he worked for his people while he played games with Igbo, so you have already arrogated whatever to your self.

MelesZenawi:
How many votes did they give him?

He didn't fail his people..he worked for them

How did he work for them?Name the projects he built for them one by one.
Who did his people vote for if not GEJ?

MelesZenawi:
Not only failed, Jonathan scammed ndigbo..

For complete 6 good solid years, Jonathan couldn't commission one single project for Igbo.


The only project he commissioned was changing his Ijaw name Ebiele to Igbo name Ebele....

The worst case of deceit any human being can encounter..

As if that is not enough, he sent seven bastards of renegades of his ethnic extraction to Imo state to tell them sorry for their roles in 1967-1970 war thinking he was going to win in 2015 so that that he will continue to heap tipper of sand every four years as second Niger bridge construction...

Believe Izon man at your own peril...Asari Dokubo alias Edi abali is a good example.....even the kokori that is talking is just blabbing because his source of livelihood is getting thinner by the day...

Did he commission any project in his home town?
He failed everyone.

Dayvidblue:
Help me tell them oo. Some people think politics is 1+1. They only consider the factors that their shallow minds can comprehend, forgetting that there are over a million factors that can determine the outcome of an election.

Don't mind them.

tamdun:
True but we keep trying anyway, unlike ur people that are begging for presidential ticket

We are also trying and mind you,Buhari's 100% Nothern votes couldn't make him president in 3 attempts until he received support from west.
So in reality every region is 5%.So our 5% plus northern votes=success.
Yoruba 100% minus northern votes =3% fail.

Charmingrascal:
I think Igbo should have been resilient in there struggle for Biafra

It is contingent for an Igbo man to win Presidential election in 2023, it is like a mission impossible.

If they had insisted on "Biafra and nothing else" perhaps we would know that they really ready for a show down

Fighting for Presidency is a fruitless endeavor for Igbos at least for now, had it been Igbos didn't show interest in Presidency and only want Biafra they would have been taking seriously.

[/s]

Trash,Yoruba presidency come 2923 is dead or arrival.
OUK 2023.

Kestolove:
5% can't win election in Nigeria

Yoruba 100% couldn't make Awo president in four attempts.This life no balance at all.
OUK 2023 is sure banker.

They are avoiding FFK because him get sharp mouth and sharp fingers pass them .

sign of gratitude to president Buhari

Gratitude for an uncompleted dirty airport building,why did I see Emir of Kano and Gandollar dancing at Aminu Kano airport that was built to international standard?I was disappointed at such a show of shame by our political leaders.
