May God deliver us from this spirit of madness that seems to have befallen alaigbo. Of all the humans and animals that can be listened to, it is this mentally challenged dude that someone gets to rely on as source of intelligent info?...

This same dude who was about to be deported from the UK and who authoritatively claimed Theresa May was personally after him for his Biafran stance? This is the same junkie people now give audience?.. Wonderful!

These sort of things is definitely what you get when the intelligent ones arent wise enough to speak up.

TAAH..U go fear how igbos plenty for lagos then. Just pray he doesnt just come, because the protest must hold if so.

DerideGull:
Nobody born of a woman can stop Nnadu Kanu from holding a self determination rally in Lagos. It is foolhardy for the group of people who had already opened a path of enmity with Ndigbo during 1967 saga to compound it with any form of idiocy.

JideAmuGiaka:
Over the years, AFONJANS has proving to be the chest beaters. They said that Dino cannot come to Lagos but the day Dino came, they all ran to Ogbomosho Forest.

They gave the Ife police 7 days to release their Oba but the same Oba is still crying from police cell till tomorrow. The list is endless.

Daboomb:
All your "reasons" above are based solely on one thing: ECONOMICS of SURVIVAL.
All you need do, to gauge the level of hatred Ibos have for other Nigerians, especially Yorubas, is READ COMMENTS on this Nairaland (because it is done anonymously, they can afford to say exactly how they feel).

Ibos naturally, seems to be angry and hateful people (maybe the war has an impact in such disposition), just like they are naturally greedy and aggressive. Notice that for the Ibo man, its all about boasting, shouting and fighting.

On the other hand, Yorubas are generally cunning, sharp-witted and thoughtful, reason they wont quickly go into a brawl with anyone but will still achieve what others desire to achieve through brawling.

Let us stop behaving like the Ostrich that buries its head in the sand, thinking it is hiding!
The earlier we recognise the "problem" and find a way to deal with it, the better for all of us.

The Ibos, over generations, have been told the "false narrative" that the Yorubas caused their loss in the Civil war and prevented them from forming Biafra but what their old parents fail to tell them are:

1.) the Yorubas were not ready for war (if they ever are!) at that time because all the Military Garrisons in Western Nigeria are manned by Northern officers and Soldiers. To wage war at "that point" when Ojukwu wanted it, would have been worse than the suicide that Ojukwu led Ibos into, within 1967-1969.
Ojukwu was advised of this by Awolowo, but he chose to ignore it, while expecting Awolowo to back him up in his suicide mission.

2.) While Yorubas generally did not participate "physically" in the war at the earlier stage (trying to play "neutral" as far as possible), they only felt provoked into the war and participated openly and physically, when Ojukwu, in his own wisdom, decided that it is better for the Biafran troops to attack Southwards towards Lagos (attempting to annihilate Yoruba lands in the process!) than to face the Northerners who are the ones attacking him.
Maybe he took the docility of the Yorubas for Cowardice (as is always the case even till today!) or it was just plain miscalculation.
Ojukwu's Baifra attacked as far as Oore, a boundary town between Benin and Ijebu ode!
The Yorubas had no other choice than to defend their land, just as any Ibo will do, if faced with the same options.
Thus, the Biafrans were forces into a retreat as far as Onitsha and other "options" taken by Yorubas at that point dealt the final blow on Biafran military adventure and eventual surrender.
If Yoruba towns were not raided by Baifran Soldiers, Yorubas will simply have kept turning a blind eye and let the Ibos sort it out with the Yorubas.
Remember that the Yorubas were also not too happy with what was going-on back then, but the Ibo leader chose to wage war (without an accurate appraisal of his chances, very Ibo-like, l would say), the Yorubas as usual, took a "calculated and foresight approach" and made the rigth decision, back then, based on available options.
So, to blame their loss on the Yorubas is just plain mischief.
Ibos must disabuse the minds of their children and stop feeding them with false hatred.

Finally, Yorubas are adjudged the most peaceful tribe in Nigeria hence, it is only in Yorubaland that you will find both Hausas and Igbos living without any form of hindrance.
Hardly will you find a Yoruba occupying any significant "local post" in Ibo land. To buy property their sef, na waar!
Ibos love to live in other's people's land but are not that welcoming to others.

if "others" are allowed to live freely in your own enclave and have significant properties there, that means you have a 'leverage' over them, when it comes to a "hostage negotiation" situation.
When people have nothing to lose from living your lands, then living will be a piece of cake, while you cant your own loses.
Think about that for a minute.
Welcoming others and making them feel welcomed, is not an act of foolishness, as the Ibos always want Yorubas to think.

As for Nnamdi Kanu, l think some people should explain to him that coming to Lagos as a "show of force" will create more hatred for him and his IPOBS. he will be resisted, by all means possible,[size=16pt]even very extreme means is not left out.[/size]
Unless Ibos want to declare another war in Lagos.

When someone loves you, you will know and dont need to be told so...and vice-versa.
Generally, Ibos hate Yorubas and Yorubas dont love Ibos.

Unfortunately, a "workable Biafra" is not achievable without the cooperation of the Yorubas
Its as simple as that.

Edu3Again:
Sorry I dont hate Yoruba people.
My best friends are yoruba.
I have Yoruba relatives.

The divison btw the East & West is planned so we will remain subvertant to the North.

Didnt the East vote enmass for OBJ?

Iamzik:
All these shouting upandan.

IPOB are you afraid to announce the date and venue?

Fix the date and announce it.

Eko will welcome you so much you won't want to go back to your dream CornTree

5DMindset:
You said you are Yoruba, and that you are Royalty, then you do not know when a Rally is going to be held in 'your land' ?

It therefore means the land is not yours. Stop exposing your weaknesses, son.

5DMindset:
You have made your points and I have made mine. So, stop being emotional. The land has been sold, so it now belongs to the new owners. There is nothing you or anyone else can do about it. Yorubas have lost Lagos to everyone who could afford to buy and who can still afford to buy.

Let us be guided by the laws of nature. Nature is not creating new land, so who ever owns land in Lagos now, owns it for ever and ever.

I agree . What day and location are you having your rally ?

Biafra is a development whose time has come...

Royal families in Yorubaland are the ones selling their forefathers' graves. Do not take out your stupidities on me. I am just stating the facts and I assert that Lagos and Eko are not Yoruba words, and therefore, there is need for you to move back to Ile-Ife, the ancestral home of the Yorubas, because Lagos is clearly not Yoruba land.

The Portuguese were the first Europeans to visit Lagos and the Benin Kingdom. They were mainly interested in trade and they brought goods to Benin and had a cordial relationship with the Oba of Benin. They even too one of the Princes to Portugal where he was trained in the Court of the Portuguese Monarch. The Brits came later on with their expansionist tendencies and started conquering Nigeria gradually. 'Eko' is a Benin word which means 'War Camp'. Lagos was used as a Garrison for Warriors of the Benin Kingdom. Names of places in Lagos like Ogba, Agege etc are also derivatives of Benin names. Cheers.

5DMindset:
You dont call me Igbo when I am not, you dont own a house in Lekki when you dont. So, please be guided. This place is not for Yorubas, it is for all those who can afford to buy or build assets here.

Please emigrate to Ile-Ife and be tribal there.

Lagosians are not tribalists.

5DMindset:
Noise, no facts.

I own houses in Lekki anyway, and I am sure you can't afford to even rent my house. So how can you own what you cant afford, that I can afford ?

Every plot I buy, remains mine for ever and ever. Come close and I ask my police guard to shoot your head off your shoulders.

I quote you for future reference.
The day KANU will visit Lagos, I will quote this post again to Disgrace you!

cotzywitzy:
It's time you stop bin tribalistic

What are you gonna say about this Hausa Man, Jelani Aliyu, he designed General Motor's First Electric car. The Chevrolet Volt

What about Doctor Philip Emeagwali inventor of the world's fastest computer.

I am from the Yoruba Clan but I do appreciate every tribe cause we are all humans with different cultures. The same blood that flows in my vein flows in every other humans out there in the world. So why the hate? #Before we find world peace we gotta put aside the hate for fellow human.
