flokii: To hell with you and Igbokwe... No be Obi the ol0shi support during last presidential election despite eating from APC and Tinubu in Lagos? Fvcking bigots underserving of pity.
Jeo Igbokwe supported Peter Obi,any evidence of such? Anyways to hell with APC and their poisoned token.
BreconHills: I do not think the person you are replying to is talking about political appointments but rather employment in the state civil service. Regarding residency, are you saying there are no yorubas or northerners living in the SE who have qualifications for any level of appointment into the state civil service?
Finally, have you contrasted the position of Lagos with Anambra in which employment in thevAnambra civil service is reserved only for people from Anambra?
It is not enough for any of us to defend our ethnic group as a religion but through introspection to create better societies.
Of course there are some non Igbos working for the government in SE.Do not forget Enugu state employed a Yoruba as head of their broadcasting cooperation this year there is always room for improvement.
Iamzik: You like to decieve yourself so much. So building estate is the proof of economic impact? When you won't sell land or quadruple the price for non indegenes how will anyone want to waste money building estate in your state? An igbo will gladly build estate in Lagos or Ibadan than in a southe eastern town because it's more profitable here so why should a lagosian go to build estate in your ghostly town?
Why are Nigerians migrating and building houses in US, UK and Canada? Answer this question then you will know why Igbos are moving to South West and settling there. Everybody want to live where there is peace, security, economic opportunity and prosperity. Y'all need to tell yourself the truth
This is the arrogant mindset that will make the Igbos keep losing out of every national contest. You are no different from middle East settlers who go to Europe as refugees and suddenly want to law and customs to be changed in their favour because they "contribute"
Igbos are the most clanish and tribalistic tribe in Nigeria beginning in the military era and I say this with clarity. Time will not permit me to rehash history today.
I know it will come to this.Having a real estate is a prove you have presence in a state you want to be given political appointment. Oh Igbos does not sell land to non Igbos...I laugh at your ignorance.How many real estate do Yorubas have in Edo state,Cross Rivers state,Bayelsa state,,Rivers state, Akwa Ibom state and Delta state,Even in Abuja except your politicians how many of you have a property there?abi those ones no still sell land to your lazy fetish dirty azz?
deji17: Among the Yorubas, Hausas, Ijaws, Fulanis etc living in alaigbo, give them political appointments a d mets see that you practise what you preach...
Give political appointments to who? Somone staked millions the other day to be given to anyone who knows any estate build by non Igbo person in Igboland till today it does not exist.Nothing goes for nothing.Ndi Igbo are given appointments here and there because they live in large numbers in those places and have made economic impact to the host community.If Yoruba people can do 20% of what Igbos are doing SW they will be made at least deputy governor by now.
flokii: Never again will any Igbo be appointed or elected into political office in Lagos..
They think they have sense, not a single Yoruba is appointed or given jobs in their 5 South East States but they roam about the country initially claiming to be doing business till they start chooking eye into the political affairs of the States they migrate to. It has been their age long template to dominate and colonize other tribes in their lands.
I see a violent "Igbo must go" movement coming up soon where the whole Nigeria will send them packing.. awon ologbon ole.
Of what benefit to ndi Igbo of years of useless appointment you gave to Joe Igbokwe? Sack Joe Igbokwe today I will be glad you did.Meanwhile if you want appointment in SE you gotta live and invest there like Igbos are doing all over Nigeria.No state goes down to SE and bring someone from there and give him appointment.They give appointment to Igbos who have paid their dues where they lived and work.
[quote author=pachigo001 post=127212799]So the revelation made by oba of Benin few days ago shows that igbos were right all these while by saying Lagos is no mans why are they dragging them when is the gospel truth they are saying [/quote
With the way our brothers beat chest and make noise, one will think they own like half of Lagos, all na wash, empty noise and loud chest beating.
How many Igbo landlords are in Lagos? Most are rented and on lease to them. Them no reach 5%.
I know this will bring so much vexation from some people, but it’s necessary, stop arrogance and unnecessary boastings, it will expose your weakness and irrelevance. Everybody dey chop dust but na only you be billionaires, na only you dey develop everywhere while others are sleeping yet no single thing to point to as your own
And you dey suffer painment because of that very 5%. Do you own even one block in Lagos state?
XAUBulls: Watch the YouTube version below of the viral Facebook live 2023 broadcast to get the true facts. Asari Dokubo's assertions that his male ancestor (Originally from Abam who became a Kalabari-Ijaw) was NOT sold as a slave, were very strong in that video, but he spoke the truth! For over 40 years now, I have read many classified European and American info on the entire Trans-Atlantic slave trade and what Asari said is historically accurate.
His ancestor from Abam was NEVER sold. He was part of an Abam team that worked with the Aros. He was part of the Abam and Aro team that went to Obosi on an expedition before the Kalabari King Amakri saw him and requested for him to stay in his palace. So, on Asari's paternal ancestor was NOT as slave, but he admitted proudly with his full chest in the video below that in his maternal lineage, their was slave ancestry. That isn't surprising though as freeborn Ijaw-Kalabari men in the Niger Delta areas usually took some women of slave or former slave origins as part of their harem. I will stop here.
XAUBulls: That's an explosive interview from Asari Dokubo setting the historical records straight. I watched originally watched the video years back and he was spot on about the events in that interview. Francis Opigo was the dude who suggested the use of Biafra taken from the area (now called Bight of Bonny) within the waters of the Atlantic ocean covering the Ijaw, Ibibio, Ekoi territorial waters in 1967. But it is well known that a vast number of Ijaws led by the Bonny Island-born father of modern Ijaw nationalism, Chief Harold Dappa-Biriye, Ogonis led by Dr. Ken Saro-Wiwa, other Old Rivers and Old Cross Rivers leaders of thought strongly rejected the secession that was declared on May 30, 1967 by the secessionist leader.
Lastly but not least, Asari Dokubo in a live viral FB broadcast of over 1 hour that I saw in 2023 further clarified that his paternal ancestor was from Abam. The Aros and their slave-raiding allies such as the Abams, Ohafia, Abriba, etc, historically never sold one another into slavery, so it is NOT true that Asaris ancestor was a slave who was given to the Kalabari King. Asari affirmed that when the Kalabari King saw how tall, strong, and agile his male ancestor was, he requested that a message be sent to his parents intimating them that he wanted Asari Dokubo's male ancestor who passed on in the 1820s to stay in the palace with him and that was how that Abam young man became an Ijaw man through naturalization in an Ijaw environment.
Asari himself said that his ancestor was sold into slavery by Aros,who are you to dispute him? His ancestor could have been sold for committing treachery or for being a thief.
Stephench: Imagine if Hausas were not so weak and were able to defend their land against the Fulani, Fulani would be inconsequential in Nigeria. The Hausa/Fulani tag makes the Fulani larger, higher and stronger than they truly are. The Hausa Fulani is a Union that's been led by the Fulani and the hausas are their slaves
I agree with you and the Hausas are happy and comfortable with their situation.So other tribes should fight against Fulani expansionist agenda.
Nigerfine3: .....and your point is that everyone shouldn't talk about it. The Hausas need to wake up, fight back with all they have. Mind you, hausa the biggest tribe has never ruled nigeria but fulani does. Hausas are farmers, fulanis are cattle readers. Hausas need to do more in politics,education. The Hausas should start demanding for political power, they should stop fulani killings otherwise separate themselves from being tagged HAUSA/FULANI
Why should I be happy over Fulani rampage in Nigeria? They are not only killing and displacing the Hausas as you said in your post.They are killing people in Benue,Plateau down to south. They should be stopped by all Nigerians.
2016v2017: So you're one of those killing the Hausas ? You must be out of your mind by believing that anyone who speaks the truth in Nigeria is Igbos . We know that it's only the Igbos that have the guts to speak when nobody can speak . The Igbos are the only tribe that speaks the truth without fear and favour . Deal with it .
My point is that Fulani bandits are killing Nigerians in every region even in your village whether you are Igbo or not.
2016v2017: When I see and hear how the minority Fulanis are daily killing the majority Hausas in the North,I only have to say sorry to the Hausas for being so weak and cowards . Are there not Hausas in the Army,in the Senate, House of reps etc. How can the who Hausas keep mute and their People are being slaughtered almost on daily basis ? Minority Fulanis killing and occupying the land of indegineous Hausas, and no retaliation, what a shame ?
This month Abia state governor discovered over 80 dead bodies in Lokpanta alleged to have been killed by Fulani bandits, what did you do about it?Mind your business.
fortunez1: Let them launch attack from there and see if Israel won't retaliate. If not for how NATO has reduced Russia to scum by Russia depending on Iran, Nk , China , India for weapons. Russia and Israel had an alliance in Syria but due to cheap kamikaze drones and artilleries for war with Ukraine ,had made Russia become a dog.
Russia is the big dog that hold 30 member NATO attack dogs on their balls and they are now begging for a ceasefire
Brek: He shouldn't add Edo state to Biafra because it will NEVER be apart of it. The edos and Biafrans have never agreed to be apart of eachother in history EVER. Biafra is for the igbos and anyone else who wishes to be apart of Biafra. Simon ekpa shouldn't add Edo to Biafra as biafran territory occupied are only in igboland
Anybody is free to add any territory even Alaska to their online map.
CoronaVirusPro: When you vote-in someone who could not even pass ordinary WAEC, what else do you expect!
The insult is on Osun state people! A state that boasts of the highest number of tertiary institution in Nigeria, electing a stark illiterate is the biggest shame of the 21st century.
They could just convert those institutions to cattle ranches cos it defines and influences nothing in the state.
But you supported Buhari and the current certificate forger.
Nigercity: Truth is because of this man APC Will Keep on winning Abia north
He has been doing alot of road construction there, plus he never owe workers salary for a day, when he was a governor He constructed the orji uzo bridge ABA and other roads, the mistake he made was that he neglected umuahia and never cared about city expansion in ABA, most roads he constructed should have been made dual carriageway! When he handed over to t.A orji, and the both failed apart, t.A (from umuahia) neglected Aba and focus on umuahia previously neglected by orji uzo!
Together with Hon Ben Kalu the deputy speaker they are all doing well in Bende and Abia north in general.
