Igbos are not even tribalistic enough for my liking. I wish every Igbo man was like me, you wont even see a single development in Lagos.

You have no problem with hausa that refuse to rent houses, but sleep in mosques and trailers in Lagos. Yet return to the North with all the cash from the sale of their agricultural produce to Lagosians, a win-lose situation. This is the more reason I feel no remorse calling you Yorubas ungrateful fools. It's only my Igbo people keep putting themselves into your hands, unfortunately.

You Yorubas are the most tribalistic nigerians. Hausas are not even half tribalistic as you are(a Yoruba woman is even a senator in Adamawa). The problem with the hausas has more to do with religious intolerance and their no-holds barred violence if they feel their religion is threatened.

So take that crap claim to yourself. You are the masters of tribalism.

That part I completely agree.

@ Katsumoto -

I find your first comment about ''the problem caused by the welcoming stance of yorubas'' very laughable. The problem (if there is any) is in the minds of people with igbophobia.

Who told you that the murders of Igbo people in the north were caused by an expansionist  agenda? Thats ridiculous. We all know that Igbos are the most visible non-muslim, non hausa-fulani ethnic group in the northern region thats why they seem to be the focus of such attacks.  

But let me ask you the youth corpers and other yorubas murdered by almajiris in jos, where they igbo?  The problem is tribalism and nothing more.Thats why you see people coming online to whip up hatred,threats and maybe violence . Why ? because an Igbo interest group is asking for concessions? We hear stories every day about Nigerians serving in the UK parliament, Some are yorubas i am sure, if they can run for PARTLIAMENT in the UK  then kini  big deal about a group asking for concessions in Lagos state in NIGERIA

They were perceived as ^[1]expansionist yoruba corpers caught up in the ^[2]concommitant violent reprisals to such perception   .

Borrowing Katsumoto's lines.

Katsumoto:
I think the problem here was/is actually caused by the liberal and welcoming stance of the Yoruba

A few questions
1.There are sizable Igbo populations in other cities such as Texas and Kano; are the Igbo demanding concessions from political officials in those cities? If not, why not?

2. Surely if the Igbo believe that they have the numbers to effect change, why are they not using it?

3. Giving the perception in the country about Igbo expansionism and concommitant violent reprisals to such perception in the North in the past, isn't it akin to stirring the hornet's nest by seeking political representation in Lagos?

4. Surely, the Igbo have significant economic ties to Lagos but have little cultural ties to the place. Is having economic ties sufficient enough for political representation? I disagree because Lagos is rich in history and there is very little Igbo pedigree in that history. You have to understand that money is not the main priority of the Yoruba. The love of their language, history, and culture is paramount

5. Given the investment of the Igbo in Lagos, shouldn't their primary concern be about projects and developments that enhance and protect their business? They should be demanding better roads, security, protection, etc in places where there businesses are located

6. What happens if the people of Lagos and the Yoruba in general become hostile to the Igbo in Lagos? Is it worth seeking political representation which doesn't promise much when their investments can easily become negatively impacted?

7. Don't the Igbos care about their own land? Isn't counter-productive for some Igbo to be asking for representation in Lagos while others are at the same time requesting secession?

Like Yoruba people will say, 'Ti eyon ba ti yo, a ma wa bekun bekun' (can someone help with the translation)  

Firstly I wonder why comment from an individual under the guise of Ohaneze is eating all of you up. When was the last time you heard any ohaneze dictate what igbos do or when they represent igbos.

Then again, you are not being sincere on your post above (like always shaa   );

1. Why the texas analogy and why not UK example where both igbos and yorubas are in the parliament.

2. When has it been established that the whole or even majority of igbo population is seeking any change in political structure of lagos.

3. There is no hornet's nest anywhere,  
(i) if there is any, it is not sufficient to harm any igbo population in Lagos and not harm yoruba population
(ii) have you asked yourself why the attacks on the igbos in the north has not chased them out of the north or why places like Kano no longer witness attacks on the igbos. The hausas there no better from experience not minding the fact that hausa-igbo population in Kano is by far greater than composition of yoruba-igbo population in lagos.

4. for your item 4, check my item 2 above and then bullcrap to that your 'yoruba is not about money' nonsense.

5. Can you tell me what their primary concerns are if not what you listed in 5 above.

6. Any hostile behaviour towards igbos in lagos will not go down well with both parties and then I am asking: Is it worth it?

7. Why on earth would you conclude that igbos dont care about their own land. What evidence do you have to support that claim.


You guys should just relax and stop feeling sorry for yourselves.

Peaceful co existence of all tribes in Lagos is for the good of all and all you internet yoruba warriors should just understand that.

Eko Ile:
Wrong my friend. It's called capable leadership, superb public administration, sense of duty, commitment, good sense of priority, investment in security and manpower administration. Something your lawless region and leadership back east don't know nothing about.

I'm sure you read on NL all the stuff we post everyday about Fashola donating armored trucks, police bikes, helicopters, communication stuff, police cars and the most sophisticated Police HQ in Nigeria to the Nigerian police.

Any of your clueless states back east have security trust fund? Do you invest in your people, do you invest in anything but isi ewu and cheap beer?

The fact is, you people are backward ungrateful leeches and parasites, you don't know how to act and that's why you people kidnapp your own school kids for money and slaughter each other for money. It's like you people are coursed. The only think you people understand is the Hausa treatment and that's why you don't f/uck with them.


And you wonder why y'all are all f'ked,

Sorry my friend, very sorry. You are finally blowing hot for something you have no control over. Dont get hypertension for that because even if you do;
those ungrateful leeches and parasites who dont know how to act and kidnap their children for money and slaughter each other for money are there for real WITH YOU in Lagos and your spiralling blood pressure will not stop that.

It can only get worse.

Maybe your 'hausa treatment' will work; so why not bring it on.

Once again sorry my friend.

seanet02:
Look at this one. Nonsensical Reasoning. Did the YORUBA people not make concession for ibos to even build houses and start business on their land?

No no no, there was no time yoruba people made any concession.
See how it works/worked:

a yoruba man runs out of cash, -->>
an igbo man tempts him with a lot of money, ->>
he falls for it and sells off his inheritance and ;-->>
that land becomes an igbo property forever. <--

Eku bear and others should chill abeg, Lagos is for everybody, ok. It is your land but we all have equal rights to everything there. No be one Nigeria again?

Are there no yoruba people that has properties outside yorubaland? Na waa oo.

Eko Ile:
You are  fooling yourself, not me. You can not erase you mindless contradictions with what still sounds silly and makes no damn sense.


Now, what's fair game got to do with representation especially when the same representation is there and[b] has been protecting and looking out for your people since day one.[/b] You can not even tell me you are getting the same level of representation in your towns and villages. Your people are thriving in Lagos  because the people representing your people right now are putting in the work to make it happen and you wont be in Lagos if your own people back east are putting in the same level of hard work and commitment.

Again, your problem is  cheap tribalism, not representation. What's more important to your people in Lagos? Safety and prosperity for your people or tribalism?

Looking at your people, towns and villages back east, trust me, they are not great managers and representatives.

The fact is, you people are known for peddling greed, tribalism, and self destruction. Your greed and self destructive behavior set us on a dangerous track from 1966 till today, it sent us to the battle field,  the same greed is responsible for all the killings and kidnappings for money. It's like everywhere you go, there's got to be commotion, confusion, problems, sorrow and sadness.

It's just too hard for you people to live in peace and harmony with others, you just have to insert your destructive behavior and odious insecurities.

And you wonder why Hausa people don't tolerate your nonsense. Obviously, they've figured you out.


lol @ listing conditions. Y'all must be on crack.

bolded points you made are all bull crap.

'Your' Lagos is 'safe' for all because every resident in lagos (igbo,hausa,yoruba,efik urhobo etc) made it so. Yoruba people did not do it alone.

Igbo people's 'behaviour' set the nation in destructive part in the '60s, because they wanted to leave, why werent they allowed to go? Now you are crying that they are sharing Lagos with you. Sorry, bros, that is the reality on ground.
Like I will always say, learn to Live with it!

@eku,
it doesnt work dat way bros. Even if u have ur way, u cant do crap.

U need to stop seeing things as if there was a time wen yoruba people met and agreed to allow igbos settle in lagos.
You did not give any inch to anyone.

Agreed, it is ur land and no one is trying to take it from you but you have to accept the fact that your 'visitors' have come to stay and u can not send them parking. Not anymore!
Just learn to live with it, ok?

^^^ Dat sounds gay, really.

~Bluetooth:
Real landlords who know the history of their land do not sell their birth right to squatters.That is why the hausas are not considered as owners of jos.

Unfortunately enough, harsh economy is producing rather too many unreal landlords in lagos and everywhere else in the country turning squatters to real landlords.      

At the rate things are going now, we will soon find it difficult to say who is landlord and who is a squatter!

PhysicsMHD:
Claiming that every mega city is no man's land makes no sense to me.


Then again, One Nigeria makes no sense.

It doesnt make sense at all in Nigeria.

But the true shape of things is that it is just the truth.

Any portion of Lagos land you purchase legally belongs to you, where ever you might have come from. No one is going to send you parking from there simply because he/she believes its his land.

Any time it happens, it will simply lead to anarchy at the end of which things will still stay the way it is right now.

Thats why I still maintain that Lagos or any other big city is no ones land.

Even in onitsha town, onitsha indigenes have control over the land.

Eko Ile:
The only problem with your delusional 62% claim is the fact that 62% don't beg or make demands, they give orders, they  take without asking.


62% in your messed up dreams,


Instead make your ohaneze concentrate efforts to better your people back home, you're loosing sleep over other people's land.

Right now, you are so irrelevant that the highest ibo official in Nigeria is like about 6th spot behind Yoruba, Delta and Hausa. You even got punked out of your own specially designated ruling party chairmanship position by your own greedy, scheming and conniving kinfolks. hausa man don snatch am and you and your people no fit do anything about it.

GEJ just distribute major oil and petro chemical projects and not 1 dey go anywhere near the eastern part of Nigeria, this is the same Odechuckwu you're hoisting on your shoulder like you savior and passport to the promise land.


Your whole existence is fading away in your own land and country and you're worried about other people's land. What legacy are you going to hand over to your kids? Other people's land?

You people really have no shame, and when they crush you, you go begin cry marginalization and other puccie nonsense,

I dont really know whether it has occurred to any one of you internet 'lagos is our land guys' that Lagos or any of the mega cities in the country if no ones land.

Igbos and other tribes are buying and owning properties in lagos and elsewhere and it is theirs[b] forerver![/b]

No amount of ethnic clashes between igbos and yorubas will send igbos out of lagos or anywhere else.

Even the break up of the country will not change that. Lagos belongs to everybody whether you like it or not.    

[size=18pt]You guys just have to live with it![/size]

wesley80:
^^^ Says who?

It is an open secret here in anambra that Peter Obi 'owns' Grand and Castle brands so its no surprise seeing them suddenly want to set up a brewery in Onitsha joined by 'innamed' nigerian investors.

That is Peter Obi's company!

Becomrichn:
You would be crying when they kill your whole family in a civil war.

Look at this picture. It shows you have irresponsible leaders

Oga they wont understand, they are afraid of maps which explains their ignorance how can one survive without maps

A leak from our Maps and Internet Triangulation Bureau (MITB): Beaf = oyb = seun = jarus = kobojunkie          

Meanwhile:

Becomrichn:
Beaf you are the same person logging in under different name because you work for jonathan. that why you are saying I speak batu english.  Like I told you, I honest speak better english than even your president or fashola or all your people. That is if you people can understand my english. I may need to slow myself down for you people to  understand me.

My presido, you dont need to slow down for anyone. Our republic is not for slow pokes.

haboosa:

How can you be a senate president when you cant speak batu.

You must first prove that you are proficient in the [b]U[/b]se of [b]B[/b]atu as [b]F[/b]irst [b]L[/b]anguage.

Oya can we see your UBFL test scores.

VolvoS60:



Hmm. Becomerich. Bandwith hogger extraordinaire.

A centrifuge of magic, madness and a hint(?!) of genius

And yet, in the middle of the mad laughter that his posts usually elicit, there are some serious questions that are difficult to overlook. If no other point has been made in his proposed contract with Nigeria/Benin/wherever, at least becomerich is pointing out some inconsistencies and contradictions in mr nuhu ribadu and what he and his broom-wielding party supposedly stand for. This is the same way some other fellow on another thread raised some hard questions on mr buhari and what he stands for too.

These questions will not go away.

All those who wish this country well agree that the PDP is accelerating into the abyss and it is determined to drag a hundred and fifty million+ souls down with it. And unfortunately, the primaries of the other major contenders (CPC, ACN) have shown them up to be cut from the same cloth as the PDP, although of a slightly less muddy hue.

Could becomerich be the One that this Republic has been waiting for? Is the 50 year wait finally over?

You are not making sense. Abeg speak batu so that we can comprehend or remain silent on this discussion.

Tinax:
pls oh! hope there is vacancy in the post of first lady, i'v bn dreaming to becom one, am submiting my applicatn, pls becomerich don't let me down, because wt me u'r guarantd of more vote frm the east

of course you can become the 25th first lady.

Theres always a room for a first lady.

dayokanu:
General Musiwa.

I would work with Loma, ekubear and other and lobby Texas into the federation of Benin.

Thus we have the 2 George Bush as citizens. Plus all the oil industry in Texas. EVen all the fine fine girls would be our citizen.

General Musiwa, Do you think we should allow beaf and oyb in our cuntry?

What are you bringing to the table for you to deserve Senate Presidency?

You guys have finally brought ojoro into this new powerful movement. How do you intend to clinch victory and securely persuade all 5 igbo states to follow aare to the new Benin without my honorable mua.

Now listen carefully as I am about to share responsibilities:

Me: compane Director general and Prime minister of new benin in waiting.

Dayokanu: Diaspora Compane Director general and Senate President in waiting.

Fstranger: Chief executioner New Benin Prisons (a bully like him, i dont know how else to descrisble him)

Eku Bear: Head of Economic Team (he appears brillant)

Aisha3: First 24th Lady of New Benin (she cant be 1st lady cos many ladies have been there before her and aare believes in polygamy)

baslone: First political prisoner of new benin for daring to accuse aare of Treason

omonaija: Second political prisoner for saying you dont know politics ()


Our website will soon be up.

@Abagworo,
why do you think that where one resides determines who who he/she votes for?

What made u think that an ijaw man who lives in katsina will vote buhari over jonathan simply because he lives there.?

@ Chyz
True talk. Some people here cant even use their senses if not how can an adult who calls himself a nigerian conclude that SE having recorded least number of voters can be ignored.

You are. Cant u see u are crying already.

Fstranger and co,
asha80 did not say that igbos are more than yorubas in lagos.
It doesnt mean than every non south westerner is igbo. Why are you guys crying already? No one is out to take your lagos from you. Ok?
Make una take am easy joor.

You guys are working on assumptions.
@Eku bear,
have you confirmed that chinese made autos costs less?

@kobo,
chinese products made for Nigerian use have never been of higher quality than well made nigerian products.
Ask electricians and engineers that handle electrical contracts.

@greateros,
do you also know if tiv people value their crops more than anything?
If any blame should be passed, it should be on the fulani herds men who grazed on their crops FIRST!

@lioness,
you are soo wrong.
What a nasty statement. What if you get to find out later that your relative or friend were among the dead?
Not everyone in that stadium came to support Gej, you know.
People sef!

Musiwa!
And some people (wikileakin) will come here to lie in our face that you are badly written software.
Can he tell us any badly written software that also has a sense of humour.
You couldnt have been written better though the NL still eagerly await becomrich 4.7 beta.

Nigerians and rumours.
Reminds of nysc camp in d north where they rumoured dat the rams and cows donated to corpers by the governor is for rituals.
Many people abstained but come see bobos de scatter suya.

Fulani herdsman go back home?

Its not possible. They dont have home.
Thats why they are normads.

Please dayoakanu,
you have overstretched this adekunle's killing prowess and i would like to know exactly where in igboland, places and events at which your adekunle did this actual shooting of every living and unliving things. Please mention them or i will assume that while he did all the talking, others like murtala did the fighting.

Abeg tell us.

bk.babe97y:
Yeah, of course it was "celebrated"! Until other sections realized that the Ibos had killed everyone else but their own. Yall lucky there wasnt no internet then, the pogroms would have started the very next day instead of 6 months lata!



Three paragraphs of lies! lol.Funny how you "skipped" the part where yall was making fun of the Sardaunas Corpse. . . . oh, and how yall made a hit song about how yall eliminated everyone else! Well, all I can say is :Thank God for revenge!

Why do people believe you are not a nigerian.

A non nigerian who knows everything about nigeria up to the point of taking sides with a particular ethnic group and hating anothers guts so badly. He can even discern ethnicities from names!

Mr, you are no foreigner as you are always claiming, you are just one disgruntled yoruba guy.

jason123:
You igbos are not serious oooo! Did you miss when ezeuche was mocking a nairalander's uncle? Or did you miss when ezeuche said other leaders were expendable but bello is not ? I can see that you guys CANNOT be taken serious when dealing with issues because of your impartiality. This was the same thing that happened during the coup. When are you guys going to learn to judge fairly?

jason123:
Or were you guys blind when ezeuche was warned? Na wa oooo!!

and so will the blame game keep going back and forth!
