Spirit04: which person on nairaland is stopping you from leaving Nigeria? There are 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria, what makes the Igbos special that they must produce president? My tribe in Edo has never produced president do you see us threatening people? Even Hausa sef never do
I’m not arguing for an igbo president. I’m wondering why some people hate igbos so much that they don’t want them to live anywhere except igboland, they will never vote an igbo man for president and they claim they want one nigeria.
Why be in a country with people you hate?
i’m not saying we need an edo president or an igbo president.
the national chairman of LP is an edo man and if i could vote for him i would
edo people are a friend of igbos . know that and know peace. Some yorubas are friends also especially the ones that are exposed. it’s the ones that are not exposed that will be shouting
omohayek: Either you're blind or a wilful liar, as this happens on here every single day, often by Igbo tribal champions so notorious no one in their right mind would doubt they are Igbo. It's a cheap attempt at deflection to blame it on "APC people" without a shred of evidence - these are your kinsmen, and they've been doing this sort of thing since the 1950s.
Now you are telling the truth. You don't see anything wrong with insulting people and making threatening claims, but are puzzled that they end up despising you for your actions.
Right after I point out the nonsensical nature of your claim, you repeat it to me almost verbatim. Enough with your ridiculous persecution complex! If it were up to me you'd have Biafra this very minute, and you'd be mandatorily repatriated there with immediate haste, so the endless alternation of boasts and insults with posturing as victims could be ended once and for all. Good fences make good neighbors, after all.
Sadly, and AS YOU WELL KNOW, it isn't up to me or to any of the people you blame in your paranoid rantings. It's up to the NASS, and in particular to YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, not one of whom has ever proposed a referendum bill on secession, even after all the wahala from Nnamdi Kanu and his followers. That you and your ilk aren't bothered by this only goes to show YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS about wanting to leave Nigeria, just as your insistence on living right amongst the very people you claim "hate" you until the moment you are "granted" Biafra like manna from heaven shows you obviously prefer life amongst your "haters" than you do with your own kinsmen.
You are all a bunch of empty barrels thinking you can scream, insult and blackmail your way into power by playing a Biafra card you lack the conviction to back with action. No one is holding a gun to your heads to live amongst your "haters", but for some reason you refuse to go back to your south-eastern paradise instead of endlessly screaming about (purely imaginary) "persecution".
people like you obviously dont hate igbos. but you know that many people do hate igbos and If u vote or support some1 that hates igbos, then im speechless.
btw I didn't insult anyone online. nobody deserves to be hated because they are igbo, and I dont know any igbo that claims Lagos is no mans land. even yul edochie came out and said it wasn't
omonnakoda: So? I'm.not a mind reader?What is your point? Was Sunday Igboho not attacked and people killed in his house? You need to articulate your ideas coherently Is Nnamd Nnamdi Kanu the King of the Ibos? What is he exactly ? He was not charged with agitating for Biafra
Don't play stupid. If he wasnt charged with agitation for Biafra, what was he charged with?
omohayek: Here you go again with yet another bunch of those strawmen you people love knocking down so much.
1. Who are these people who "dont want igbos to live in Lagos"? Are you trying to pretend that feeling insulted by ridiculous claims that Lagos "is a no man's land" is the same as saying Igbos should leave Lagos?
2. Who has said they " dont want Igbos to be in goverment"? Are you saying that expecting Igbos to compete for votes like everyone else - by making alliances and winning others over instead of insulting and threatening them - is somehow equivalent to wanting Igbos out of government?
3. Where have any of the people mentioned in the 2 points above ever said they "dont want Igbos to separate from Nigeria"? It seems in your own eyes all non-Igbos are just one single hive-mind, and different people can't have different opinions. How do you know the "One Nigeria" people are exactly the same set as those you accuse of wanting Igbos to "leave Lagos" and "out of government"? Where's your evidence?
4. In light of the preceding, the claim that is purely a product of your fantasy. To the extent that Yorubas resent Igbo arrogance and insulting claims about Lagos, they would like nothing more than to see Nigeria split up so that uncontrolled immigration from Igboland can be stopped, nipping in the bud all the stupid boasts that "we developed Lagos" and "we own Lagos". The only reason you don't see more of such opinion on here is because Seun has made clear he doesn't tolerate secessionism, not because large numbers of Yorubas are "Igbo-haters" who love "One Nigeria". That contradiction is what you wish were true, but the opposite is closer to the truth.
I dont know a single igbo person who claims Lagos is no mans land. I believe APC people on the internet are the ones saying it so that Igbo people get criticized for it. But regardless I dont even care.
IF YOU DONT LIKE "BIAFRA PEOPPLE" LET THEM LEAVE NIGERIA IDK WHY U GUYS HATE SOMEONE BUT WANT TO BE IN THE SAME COUNTRY AS THEM
omonnakoda: Only children,insecure ones,see the world in terms of hate and love Why are you so needy for love? Nobody forces you to stay in the country you can all leave when you like and return to Jerusalem
If you want to stay fine stay and follow the rules on ground
The North is not the poorest part Iboland is
You guys are the ones forcing igbos to be in Nigeria. You claim you hate them and they are your biggest issue in this Nigeria, but if they agitate for Biafra you throw them in jail!
Himtulie247: Aha ahhh ! Simple solution to this as I pointed out is.............
SIMPLY RELOCATE BACK TO BIAFRA LAND ! And see wonders of PEACEFUL Protests with out taking to the streets or fighting. When you relocate back to Biafra Region , every one will take you serious because YOU simple Leave in peace
Give me Biafra and I will relocate, I swear to all mighty. But as far as I am forced to be in Nigeria, I will go anywhere I want in this country
Himtulie247: No one will stop Biafrans from going back to their Region ! When they relocate back to Biafra Land then we can now take them SERIOUS for Referendum or simply say Goodbye
So you support a referendum for Biafra? Now we are getting somewhere, and you are being reasonable. You hate igbos and they are a big problem in Nigeria, so why not let them leave so you guys can have peace
Himtulie247: Let them first of all separate and leave other Regions of Nigeria and go back to Biafra Region......... then we shall take them SERIOUS !!!
Give us Biafra region and we will leave. You won't even count 1 2 3, and it will happen. I swear to all mighty, I will Never return to any other part of Nigeria
I mean you should be supporting Biafra region anyway. Arent igbos a major problem in Nigeria? Don't you hate them will all ur heart? Let them go so you can rest finally
updatechange: The shame is on you here brr… same way azikiwe was dragging western premiership with Awolowo after installing one Opara as the eastern premier. Shame
Why do you want to be in the same country as the Igbos that you hate so much? Why not just give them their own country, so that Nigeria can move forward finally!
But please just answer my question. Why do you want to be in the same country as the Igbos that you hate so much? Why not just give them their own country, so that Nigeria can move forward finally!
flokii: Your actions show you don't want to leave.. You can't be in Lagos dragging lands with the owners and still be claiming the people there are holding you back? Is it until they start bombing you before you pack and go?
Or you want to add Lagos too to your biafra map like you did to oil rich Rivers and Delta?
Just dey play.
Nobody wants to add anything to a Biafra map. Why dont you let the states that want to leave Nigeria leave, since these people are causing you soo much trouble?
flokii: Mr. man go home and fix your region.. don't you have shame??
You are all over Lagos, Abuja,Kaduna etc. forming what I don't know but your tiny enclave in the East is a mess and complete disaster.
The greed of your forebearers like Zik is still very present in the offsprings but y'all are joking.. The new generation Yorubas will fvck your style up if your overstep your boundary. Na Awo dey follow una do romance, we no dey for rubbish.
Why do you want igbos in your country, if you dont like them soo much? Please EXPLAIN THIS Why not let them go so you can finally have peace so nigeria can move forward
flokii: If Igbos can't go back and fix their tiny South East region, they should forget ruling a big country like Nigeria.. Governance is not child's play or chieftancy title to be gifted to Igbos.
We want competent,credible and tested hands in the helms of affairs for a better Nigeria.
If you hate igbos, why do you want them in your country so badly? Please explain this I dont understand. The north is the poorest part of Nigeria yet we have had many rulers from this region.
mayor02: From running to exile in 1993 to being the President in 2023, Tinubu has taught us that anybody can achieve anything no matter your current situation.
He spent 30 years preparing for this position and when the time came, he was too confident about knowing that now is his time.
Tinubu political journey and strategies deserve to be studied as a course in African Universities.
He taught us that the greatest investment is investing in humans. Money did not give him victory. Quality relationships gave him victory.
I am Obidient and I wish Tinubu didn’t win, but Tinubu success and greatness cannot be denied
People like you are the reason why Nigeria has so many issues. This guy is a criminal and you are claiming he is the greatest politician in Nigerias history. When he steals all the money Nigeria has you will act surprised.
How can a criminal be the greatest Nigeria has to offer!!!!! We have to promote good people in goverment or dont be surprised when our leaders are corrupt leaders who only steal and go to dubai & London
designking: I am from Sapele and this article is very apt. Even the popular Igbo Quarters was taken away from the Igbos and back to the Okpe community.
The Igbos are always are loggerhead with their host community until it climax to a major bloodshed.
I.just hope Lagos doesn't get to that stage. One reason I hardly acquire property in Lagos is because I know for certain, that a major supremacy battle will occur soon and we Niger Deltans might suffer casualties because we are always mistaken for Igbos
You are a fool. Nobody from the niger delta would write the nonsense you just wrote
If it is possible for you to go ...you could have left since 1960....but because You have little resources to cater for yoirsleves ...and that is the reason you can not go alone...you want to pull Niger+delta along by all means....and control their oil well. Onyi dot.....
Go...
would you let the south east and any other state in the south south go if there was a referendum? shut up
