Congrats my sister.

Though these Edo people, we dont know where to class them?

As Associate Biafrans or Assciate Afonjas?

Any one you chose to class us afterall we bridge the enmity gap between the two warring tribes on nairaland.

brandydaniells:
who are u stranger?

We are both strangers. Do u need to know me before I can comment on your poste?

Two "naija" guys were apprehended in India.

Did you see the thread. My cousin know one of them. We are representing.

I'm most ashamed of the way Nigerians behave abroad but I try to avoid this tribal thing. When a crime is reported, the first thing nairalanders do is to check names and start this unending tribal nonsense.

Let us condemn crime and not the tribe. No tribe is better than the other. We all fight to root out evil everywhere.

DollarAngel:
Let me enlighten you a little

Martin Luther King, Jr Said "History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people".

Thank you for not being insulting as the tradition of nairalanders

We should not mix things up here. I support any opposition to bad stuffs. I am not in support of distilling any bad stuffs to tribal wrangling. This has been one thing so disguisting about nairaland [/i]forum. If it is drug peddling there is tribe associated with it; if is it [i]yahoo yahoo, there is a tribe for that;if it is Italy, another tribe,just as in this case at hand and the list goes on...

I expected people to make comments based on the scenario and the individual involved and not from a tribal perspective.
On the issue of being silence when there are ills in the society, if I May ask what crime has that lady committed? Has she done wrong for expression her emotion? I guess in this particular instance there was no breach of the laws of Italy. Thank you for educating me. lol. Cheers though.

Edo state is really the Heart beat of Nigeria. Disgracing Nigeria since 1241AD. Shame to this people, the Sodom and Gomorrah of Nigeria.

Keep up the tribal bashing.It is an excellent job though!

igho003:
edo we too many for italy no house no gt 1 or 2 ppl for italy for edo state

so wetin u suggest make we do? I wan hear your solution to the problem

gbosaa:
If you hear or read that a Nigerian man was caught with drugs in Indonesia or Thailand, where do you think they'd be from...ans, only my people will do such.

If you hear that a Nigerian man scammed an American of his savings from an Internet cafe in Lagos or from the comfort of his home in Peckham, who else would do that if not a scratched faced cone head.

You don't need a prophet or babalawo to tell you that Oshobaba babes have colonised Italy. Infact they are the only black women allowed to engage in olosho business with their love-vendor Osagies and Ehimares.

Afonja and IPOB babes don't sell toto in Italy.

Thank you. Keep it up ! Keep bashing people who are not from you stock.

EmmyDJourno:
Edo girls in Italoo disgracing Nigeria since 19Okpoo BC

Please Note: This truth hurts me too

Thank you .Keep it up!

Thank you. Keep it up!

Instead of you to comment on the individual,you are busy drawing the tribal line. Since 100% of your tribe are saints, I commend you.

DollarAngel:
She must be from Edo state

You mustn't comment all the time. Silence is golden and wise at times

Nigeria has 36 states and the federal capital territory. In all these states, it is normal that crime and unfortunate incidents occur on a daily basis especially with the failed government we have in Nigeria. But for a moderator to bring to the most popular Nigerian site, three unfortunate report from a state for public awareness and discussion obviously shows more of a hypocritic and tribal bigotry mindset.

Now that you have decided to show your hatred for Edo state, i hope your bank account has increased and your joy is full. i just want to let you know that your quest to paint the state bad is a futile one and can never be successful.

Thank you brother.Tell them. Most Nigerians here look everything from the lens of tribal bigotry.I am really disappointed in the youths of this country.Is there Hope? I doubt.

ceejay4real:
Those people you mentioned are also Igbos. Especially the Ikwerres. But they like claiming what I don't know. It's rather unfortunate. In any case, what you said about the SS not supporting an Igbo presidential candidate in an election holds a lot of water cos from my everyday interaction with them, those guys hate the Igbos. Especially those from Edo and Delta. In fact, most of them were pleasantly surprised that we Igbos firmly supported Goodluck Jonathan their son in 2011 and even more tenaciously in 2015. It's indeed a great pity that Jonathan lost cos if he had won, the bond of love btw the SE & SS may have been cemented forever. The love we shared just before, during and immediately after the 2015 elections is fast fizzling out. The Ohaneze Ndigbo and the South South People's Assembly & all the other regional groups from the two Zones must close ranks to rekindle that love and also fashion out ways of sustaining it from generation to generation. With that, we can always vote as a bloc in national elections and also have a platform for negotiation for power and other goodies at the Federal level. My own take tho.

#truefederalismistheonlyway

You are generalizing. How can you say Edo (the heart beat of the nation)and Delta (the big heart) hate Ibos. I am really disappointed in this unsubstantiated claim. I have lived with Ibos in my town. Some where very close, i mean close ties with my family. Some of my relatives and friends got married to Ibo women and men. Man, this is not true. Why are you bias? In your eyes, all tribes are bad. Yorubas are bad, hausas are bad..... and now SS, especially Edo and Delta. How can you win this war of bashing ALL tribes in Nigeria. If I may ask which tribe is good? Only the Ibo? Hmmmmmmm.

mekonglobal:
I Am Not A Good Story Teller, What Has Happened, As The Police Is Now Involved, I Guess We Should Allow Them Do Their Job. Here Are Things U Consider;
The Two People Involve Were Lovers
It Was A Fight That Broke Out Between Them.
The Hotel The Girl Died Was The Same That She Stays As Sex Woker.
And The Guy In Question Lives As A Tenant In The Girl's Father Compound.

Is this info from the police? Have they concluded investigation? I guess the police is still on the matter? Where is this coming from?

woodcook:
If I were those traders we will hike the prices of our goods.

Nigerians always settling issues with violence. On a second thought are they sure the guy is whom he said to be. This is Nigeria where anyone can claim any name without being caught.

I hope the state governor does something about it before it gets out of hand.

Hiking the price of prices of goods is a bad idea and a revenge action which know u are not in support of.

Jace234:
Na today? Apias/ijaws don dey deal with igbos in their state since time immemorial. In the 90s, the time wey market still dey for ovom, homeboiz dey enter market collect things wey dem no pay for and discharge. I dey ogbele street dat time, homeboiz dey march igbos down every day. Na their way! Dem no need any reason

Chai, it is wrong.I think we should respect each.

lonelydora:
Why attack people going about their business? Tochukwu is not only Igbos that bear it, we have many people in Rivers State who bear Igbo names too, Ikwerres, Etche, Ubima, etc.

This hatred for Igbos by South south people is the reason I didn't support Jonathan in 2015. Had Jonathan been an Igbo man they wouldn't have supported him.

Thank God he lost.

What? The SS hates Ibos, the SW hates Ibos, the North hates Ibos etc
Is this a valid point. What is really the problem?
I am from SS, I have known Ibos right from the my childhood, doing businesses all over my state peacefully, some even marrying from their host community and we see them as one of us. People from other tribes have treated me bad in the past and some will in the future. Should I come here and say that and that tribe is bad? Man, you are wrong. Stop creating further hatred which has ruined this country. Let us look deep inward and be sincere in our approach. Please no insult.

xynerise:
And where did they look down on them? So just because one person committed a crime you had to attack his entire tribe? Now tell me the meaning of stereotype again if this is not a stereotypical judgment on the igbos

There is nothing like the perfect person or tribe here.What I observed here is that every tribe claim to the tribe of saints when issues come up.This is true whether u are from SS,SW,SE or the North. We look down on one tribe and paint ours as the best.This is displayed on nairaland all the time.

tifany89:
What really happened? I can see some yorubas displaying their stupidity all over the whole place. Irks me how a group of people will just decide to be stupid beyond comprehension. Tomorrow one idiot will talk about southern unity. Unite with such vile,hate-fillee and treacherous people will be a big mistake.

Let us not insult to make our point. Are we still gentle men? I am afraid we the young ppl still spill fire. What is the hope of this country? Every thing is along the SE,SS,North, SW divide.

obamabinladen:
If your daughter die in the hands of his boy friend, all the non indigenes must pay for it abi?.

Investigation will tell.For now, let us not conclude about the identity of the killer. We dont know yet otherwise we become bias

staga:
Ijaw youths are some of the laziest in Nigeria. These are shops allocated to them which they sold to the Igbos. They are allocated jobs, they sell same to Igbos. If the Igbos leave Ijaw land, what will become of them? All they know to do is to drink, womanize and break pipelines. That is why an Ijaw woman will hang out with an Igbo man because they are hardworking and have family values, unlike our people.

And yes, this is coming from a disgusted Niger Deltan who is piqued at the behaviour of our youths. We are our own problem in the Niger Delta.

My brother, I will respectfully disagree with some things u mentioned. I am from SS, it is wrong for u to say Ijaw youths are some of the laziest in Nigeria. Though I am not Ijaw, I know some of them who are excellent and hardworking. Are we saying there are no lazy people in Ibo land? Let's us be very cautious.

I condemn both the killing of the girl and the reaction from the host community.
Here is my take, whoever you are, if u live in a community, make peace with them, respect and do not look down on them (by claiming to be hardworking). I am saddened by comments by some Ibos that the Ijaws are lazy.This is unacceptable. There is virtually any tribe in Nigeria they do not call names. If it is Yorubas, name calling; Hausas, name calling etc., some names I cannot mention here. Personally, there was a time my tribe was labelled as a tribe of 'witches'.They even called my state the 'capital of witchcraft'. This is not true, if it is true that my tribe practice such, me not not being a part of it makes that assumption false. If Ibos land is this perfect haven being advanced here, then why going outside their states to SS, SW and to the North to eke out a living? I never mean to be insulting. The message is, respect the people who host you. Cheers!

xynerise:
The attack shows that The Bayelsas already hate the Igbos or probably are jealous of their success in the state more than them.

I know Bayelsans are very lazy people

This is a sad stereotype.To you, all Nigerians are lazy except the Ibos. I am ashamed of ur comment. Make peace with ur host community, respect and do not look down on them.

My brother,this is the reality on ground.I live here.I am no stranger to how corrupt,wicked,etc these men in uniform could be.
Since you where not found with any illegal stuff,you should not have been treated that way.Shame on those unprofessional officers.

However,part of the reasons most South Africa disdain Nigerians is what some Nigerians involve themselves here, worsening the already decadent state of the South Africa society.The story of these Nigerians are horrible to say the least.Nigerians who are decent and innocent of these crimes are caught up in the middle of this aggression,like in your case.

The situation here, Sunnyside (Pretoria) in particular 'stinks' with the activities of our fellow brothers. When I see the way some of my country men conduct themselves here, I am ashamed and always ask myself, ''why have we abandoned our good morals?''.
When a South Africa knows that you are a Nigerian,the next question he or she asks is your tribe.South Africans know one tribe as ''specializing'' in drugs and other, internet fraud. They are also aware that there is great animosity between these two tribes.When I learnt of this, I was disturbed. I simply say I am Nigerian without mentioning my tribes (though I am neither of these two tribes).Even telling them that you are simply a Nigerian, does not help matter as the umbrella names 'Nigeria' covers all. When South Africans hear the name 'Nigeria', their countenance will immediately change.I have experienced it first hand.

On the other hand,there are good Nigerians here doing the country proud.

Sunnyside is just one in hundreds of places in South Africa where our ''boys'' are doing great damage to the South African society;soiling the Nigerian name and making life difficult for the good Nigerians here.

My brother,take heart,this is what the ''bad eggs' among us have caused.

I can't find benin Auchi rd

The same question I could have asked.

omonnakoda:
There is no war they are our second in command in Nigeria but you know a junior bloda always wants to be stubborn

Bother,dont you think it will be arrogant for you to call them your second in command or junior brother? How did you determine who is the first and who is not.This attitude of seeing the other tribe as second in command or junior brother did not and will not take Nigeria anywhere.There is no second in command or junior brother here.

FanYogo1:
See how Yorubas dominate the list?

18 Ibos
33 Yorubas

Proud omo Oduduwa.

This one can't be manipulated with miracle centers

The brilliant and unbeatable Yoruba nation deserves its own country. Nigeria is holding us back.

No nation is like ours. No nation can have an equal number of Muslim and Christians and still be tolerant and peaceful.

May Oduduwa continue to smile down on his children. Oduduwa a gbe wa o.

I'm proud to be Yoruba!

Hmm.Yours is to scan through the names and work out the mathematics of how the Yoruba names exceeded the Ibo's.Bravo! I wonder when this tribalism is going to stop.I am neither Ibo nor Yoruba but I am concerned about the war being waged between these two tribes here Nairaland and elsewhere.

tellwisdom:
You this Benin gurl. Are you writing me from Benin or Italy?

My brother, be mature here.The issue at hand is the high fees at the university not whether an individual is commenting from Italy or Benin.Stop attacking personality,tribes and people and be objective.If you are not from Benin or Edo state does not give you superiority over them.Is your tribe 100% pure? Are there no ills in your tribe? If your answer is yes,then I want to know that angelic/saintly tribe of yours.
Love and respect people that are not from you tribe.Nigeria needs such attitude.
Cheers

Peanut .... But shey edo people dey go school??... I think sey Na land dem dey sell take enter Italy

My brother, is this really coming out of you? Are you real?

You must not insult a tribe or state to make your point known.The fact that we do not see face-to-face does not give the license to run down a whole state. Are you inferring that the whole state is full of uneducated people and that all they do is sell land and travel overseas? This is laughable.
The issue we should be discussing is the high price of tuition and other fees in the said institution.Instead of you to contribute objectively, you prefer to attack the good people of the state. Be frank with yourself,is there any state in the federation where its people can afford such amount -close to N700,000? So if the people of Edo complain of such exorbitant fees, it does not warrant such insult.
This kind of mind set where you run one tribe in order to elevate yours is toxic and and does not show a de-tribalised mind which we all strive for to remedy Nigerian's numerous problems. Of course it is a social forum,everybody is free to type anything but what we type could reflect who we really are behind the screen. I guess as a young man,you should be able to tolerate other tribes,people and culture.You are from a different tribes does not make you superior in intelligence.
I think you are from one of the so-called 'major' tribes in Nigeria who tend to relegate other tribes they termed as 'minor' and even the 'major' ones. The 'major' tribes should keep fighting themselves here and leave the 'minor' tribes who to my assessment are even more matured,out of this bickering that has characterized nairalanders when affairs of any state or region is mentioned.
If at this age and time in our country you do not see anything good in any tribe,language,culture and people apart from the one you belong to,then we are in serious problem.In it pure definition that is tribalism and nepotism,which has been our drawback as a nation. Purge your mind and embrace other people.
Cheers.

XaintJoel20:
Thanks you very much for your insightful response, but unfortunately, you quoted the wrong person. I only quoted him to stop throwing tantrum on others maybe because they are not from his state...
#Cheers...

Brother, you are right.The response was not for you but the guy who is disrespectful to Edo people. I think he or she belongs to one of the so called 'major' tribes in Nigeria who tend to relegate other tribes they termed as 'minor' and even the 'major' ones. The 'major' tribes should keep fighting themselves here and leave the 'minor' tribes who to my assessment are even more matured,out the fight.
