I don't know why Igbo people always carry Lagos on their head... is it that if there is no Lagos more than half successful Igbo business man will still be struggle with Okirika and gala with fine Yoyo in Aba

It's too much comfort na..
Some of them don't even know road to their father's village in the East. They too will start hatching babies on Yoruba soil that will cause problems for our people later. I don't even know why they came back after civil war or why pa Awo returned their houses to them.
Maybe we would have had a homogenous, dirt and hate free Odua nation by now with next to no headache of nincompoops like we have today.

One thing that is very clear is that the Yoruba are the most accommodating tribe in Nigeria; no one can deny that. However, what have we got in return - hate and envy especially from the Igbos. The Hausa/Fulani are suspicious of the Youruba but they do not hate the Yoruba. The are also accommodating to the Yorubas.

The Edo/Isekiri/Urhoro are siblings to the Yorubas even though they have their own identity. The Efik/Ibibio are somewhat indifferent to the Yoruba but that is fine. The Igbos outright hate the Yoruba and it is time Yorubas become very conscious of this hatred.

Everyday they are castigating Tinubu, Fayemi and Osinbajo; and other potential Yoruba presidential candidates. The other day they were calling Yoruba women undesirable and dirty. All of them were hating on Peter Okoye for marrying a “dirty Yoruba woman” - a woman who is more educated and exposed than anyone in their generation. They insult the same Lagos where they live - why don't they just go back to Onitsha and Aba.

They insult anything Yoruba- from Anthony Joshua, Wizkid, Tiwa and everything Yoruba. These insults are not unnoticed. Yoruba will not forget and will surely retaliate!
You had to bring igbos into your hateful pattern , smh for some of you here mehn . One of the reasons I don't ever come into politics section because it's filled with lots of tribalistic psychos like you.

Before you quote rubbish ,know that am a Yoruba guy

At the bolded (which is the only interesting point out of all the gibberish you wrote) I definitely agree with you... Hausas and Yorogbas are best of mates and I think these two ethnic groups should just fu*k off and form their own nation together so that they can continue their master and slave relationship dynamics without any recourse to worry about the Igbos... The same Hausas that have been suyanizing yorroobas in Lagos and other SW cities in various ethnic clashes since the 90's, today in Lagos there are some areas which have been completely taken over by Hausas, and yoruubas can't even dare to step into those areas to cause trouble otherwise they will get it hot... remember how Hausa boys chased you pigs out of Mile 12 when your agbero's wanted to stop their dominance... Walahi yeribanzas and Hausas will definitely make a great pair, but just leave Igbos out of your husband and wife affair cause we no send una, naturally we see you lots as nothing short of irritating subhumans.
You too mumu abeg... mention one area for Lagos wey Hausas don completely take over

[s][/s] gibberish!!

You lots are hypocrites,it's cool when you insult igbos,but when Igbo respond by insulting you back you will start whining like over used pant..


You claimed igbos hates you yet Igbo never engaged you lot in any physical combat or confrontation any where since the history of Nigeria,igbos undoubtedly are the second largest tribe in Lagos yet we never had issues with you lots..

Your oba of Lagos threatened to throw igbos in the lagoon yet you didn't see the hate in that,adeyinka grandson threatened to burn down Igbo investment in South West yet you didn't see the hate in it...


Your people have been burning Igbo shops by proxy(you lots think we don't no) yet you are still accusing us of hating you..


You call us baby factory and drug dealers,but when we call you skull miners you start shouting hate..

You call our women yam legs but when we call your women dirty, stinking and ugly you start shouting hate...


You call our political leaders ( thou I don't care about those ones shaa) like Peter obi a fraudster but when we call tinubu bullion van crook or frog eye you start shouting hate..


For Wizkid and tiwa Savage they are my best supper stars so I don't no what you are saying on that...


Go to any Igbo related thread and see the way you yorubas are insulting igbos..

You don't dish out hate and insult and expect love and praise,it doesn't work like that..



Who burnt down TVC? Who burnt down the buses in Lagos? Do you think we don’t know?

The comments so far are so far, but everyone is saying the truth.

Lagos belongs to all. True.

Lagos accommodate all. True

Lagos! Lagos!! Lagos!!!

One even said Lavos doesnt belong to yoruba... grin

Anyway, if you check my previous posts, there is a place I wrote that SW is the most powerful region..why? It is the bridge of unity in Nigeria.


The day SW said Yes to state policing, they created Amotekun. And that's it. Law makers are on the way to put it in our constitution.

SW is already saying we want regional supreme court. And this will be it. Boom!

Ibo should learn to team up with SS and SW to move forward.

North cannot he president if SW does not agree with them. Anyone SW agrees with always become the president of Nigeria. Go and check history. North defeated Chief Awolowo only after Akintola joined them.. North could not stop Abiola via poll, they had to cancel the election. Buhari failed 3 consecutive times doing it alone, the 4th time he partnered with SW, he got it. Jonathan rose on the yoruba/fulani platform to win. The day he turned his back on just the SW man (Obasanjo), he lost the north too. Unfortunately for him, Buhari partnered with SW. Boom Jonathan was kicked out.

The day SE humbles itself and make peace with SW, and stop the blaming games, the whole of south will flourish.

No one will chase ibos out of Lagos. The state belongs to everyone. But yorubas own it. Lagos is presently generating over 40 billion naira monthly. If you add VAT to it, grin grin grin OMG! That may shoot to 100 billion monthly. grin

Victim mentality, inherent in the average Igbo man... This is why they're naturally spiteful towards others and I think the civil war has all to do with it.

Their parents keep selling the narrative to the younger generations that the rest of the country hates them. They have come to believe it over the years.
