Ogbuefi2020:
Yorubas are now sounding idiotic. Did FG withdrawal troops from East? When we left during the war did you not follow us? Who is the useless northern group?

ImperialYoruba:
This is an opinion.

Northern rulers have always advocated for a program which is to counter the effect of geographical disadvantage of desertification on farms, livestocks and herds. So they used irrigation systems facilitated by dams.
An example is Tiga dam in Kano, which is one of the most affected States in North. Due to effects of climate change and cyclical weather patterns, those dams, though functional, are perennial and now appear to be less than adequate to supply farmlands and grazing livestocks. They asked for Federal Government intervention.


For years there have been studies on the River Chad water basin to try and find a more enduring solution to the problem.

If you all recall, when Buhari came to power in 2015, before he had appointed ministers he asked for status reports on the Chad water basin. Northern rulers approached him and got his commitment to intervene from the Federal level. A draft to expand grazing routes and create watering holes along the route led to two Federal agendas.

1. Take over water rights all over Nigeria
2. Establish protected land rights for grazing.

These two agendas together gave rise to RUGA.

When the news broke Southern leaders and rulers were livid. They saw RUGA as a subsidy programme that lock the hands of indigeneous farmers and land owners behind their back so a priviledged trade, "livestock grazing", can have free rights of access to ancestral lands.

I am sure no Yoruba person reading this will say he/she supports RUGA anywhere in Yorubaland. It is total opposition. Opposition to RUGA is so strongly asserted that previously dormant native groups were brought to surface to assert separation of Yoruba from Nigeria.

RUGA can come to Yorubaland in different forms, and hidden behind different agendas.

A political RUGA is what we are seeing lately from people of SouthEast.

So let me give some perspective, first on what constitutes Nigeria. This country is a composition of disparate ethnic cultures with nothing in common, but each area is blessed in different assets and comparative advantage.

People have migrated between the different regions and ethnic territories, and assimilated to the new group temporarily, or sometimes permanently. There are rules that migrants follow, the native wisdom is to respect and honor your hosts and not conduct yourself in ways that is sacrilegious to the sacredness of their land. This is a broad definition. Usually, people become wise to the rule after a couple of lessons learnt.

After the civil war, a subsidy programme existed to resettle and reabsorb SouthEasterners into mainstream politics of Nigeria. The subsidy has outlived its value and time. The people have recovered fully, it is time the subsidy is removed so that Igbos do not continue to enjoy privileges that are denied to indigenes that host them.

The people of SouthEast have made enemies all around them due to learning deficiencies. Repeatedly, they have clashed with other regions and ethnic groups and suffered greatly from the outcomes in bloodshed, yet they continue in their ways. A wise person does not continuously put himself at risk of loss in property and lives unless of course they are deficient in learning and self correcting.

In SouthSouth region, a steady conflict of interest and disruptions to peaceful cohabitation brews from time to time between the indigenes and their Igbo guests. Recently on a courtesy visit to the elders of South South, Peter Obi, a leading Igbo candidate for political office referred to portions of Delta as Igboland. In their response, the Elders shut down this idea and drew the line correctly to remind where Igboland ends. The agenda is to completely Igbonize the SouthSouth region politically, economically, culturally, and then assert rights of domiciliary lords to claim it as an exclusive domain, requiring the indigenes to first obtain access permits from the migrant group to enter the area.

Today certain areas of Lagos have already been declared by Igbos as domiciliary domains and exclusive zones. They want total control of the domain, and do not believe Yoruba are qualified to represent these listed domains in legislative sittings or economic forums. Hence Igbos are asserting the rights to push Yoruba out of congressional constituencies that have been carved out for economic exclusivity of Igbo business. The success they achieved in commodity trading they want to expand into political powers and convert territorial control by first displacing Yoruba from their territory, and then becoming the new territory power. This agenda is hidden behind false claims of constitutional right.

The Igbo RUGA agenda must be stopped immediately. The constitution of Nigeria does not approve of territorial conversions. If it did Buhari should have succeeded and RUGA should be everywhere across Southern Nigeria by now. The agenda of Igbo to hide behind political agenda and economic subsidy to convert territory need urgent and immediate attention of Yoruba leaders and rulers.

There is no constitutional statute that allows Buhari to setup RUGA, there is no constitutional statute that allows any group or ethnic clan to setup exclusive enclaves for themselves, either for business or otherwise.

The Igbo enclaves in Yorubaland need to be broken up and the economic subsidy needs to stop.

gidgiddy:
The way you Yorubas are occupying other peoples lands in the UK, America and Europe in the millions? Well if guys feel that way, you should join the call for Igbos to be given referendum to leave Nigeria

eagleu:
I have to copy all your crazy opinions in order to show how devilish you are, really.
When the federal government was spending more than 70% of the budget developing Lagos with oil money produced from the east, you fought for One Nigeria.
When the federal government started reconstructing Lagos and it's environ after the war, instead of reconstructing the east that was actually damaged during the war, where were you?
When the government located more than 80% new industries in and around Lagos, forcing other Nigerians like Igbos to migrate to Lagos, where were you?
When tribalistic Yoruba civil servants insisted on closing down eastern and midwestern sea ports in order to give Lagos port a boost, resulting in unexpected congestion, where were you?
When Igbos come to Lagos poor, work themselves to death, buy land, develop it, where were you?
If Igbos simply work themselves to death, pay taxes, serve lazy Yorubas, and don't vote, then you will be happy? That's called apartheid, segregation, tribalism, but it will be ok for you, because you are lazy, wicked, and bound for destruction by your own foolishness. Go and start a war against Igbos in Lagos, and let's see how far you will go.

leokid866:
more than 70% of budget......wawu.... ......you just dey pull the figure anyhow from your yansh.......well done

ImperialYoruba:
South South was liberated from under your oppression and occupation. Non-ibos were separated from your Eastern region and given control of their own lands. Not satisfied with your dot in the circle, you went illegaly and occupied biafra on their land. In your greed to occupy and suppress others you ended up loosing your independence and freedom. You have learning disability.

ImperialYoruba:
Twice, you had a deal far sweeter than referendum, you swindled yourself into staying in Nigeria.

Northern groups gave you 60days to go ahead and depart North. Did you take action?

Sannisege:
I pity Yorubas supporting Obi. If Tinubu doesn’t win this election,, no Yoruba man will ever smell that presidential seat again. At least not in the next 48 years

Workch:
But the nigerdelta oil is giving you subsidy, is that not Ruga?
You lay pipelines from nigerdelta to refineries in Lagos and so get subdisy on oil gotten from southsouth..
You must be very stupid

eagleu:
I forgot Tinubu designed, built, and developed Lagos!
.... from his drug money?

whirlwind7:
You are an absolute rẹtard

The northern groups you talk about, what legal authority did they have?
When Igbos didn't leave after 60 days, why didn't the all powerful and authoritative group forcefully evict Igbos?

Oh, so northern groups make and enforce the constitution of Nigeria?

You mean that any mushroom group that talks shyte should be obeyed? Why then are there still fulani herdsmen in Yoruba land after all the declarations from pro-Oduduwa groups and amọtẹkun?

ImperialYoruba:
What authority does Simon Ekpa, sitting in Finland, have over you in Nigeria? None. When he says dont come out, even your Governors stay indoors, much more ordinary citizen.

Dont talk about authority, just go when next you are released as those youths did with Kaduna Declaration.

ImperialYoruba:
I am not one of those you can threaten or intimidate with oil money built Lagos, and not get a sound response.

I know many of you villagers lack knowledge of Nigerian history but you are talking to someone that will school you thoroughly, and I dare say you are not remitting enough money to Lagos to cover our expenses for your welfare and or for hosting your monuments.

We will get a special status for Lagos, the way it was before anything called oil was discovered. Your welfare in Lagos has expiration date.

Go and read a case decided in London in 1921 between Amodu Tijjani and Secretary Southern Provinces. The genesis of your reimbursement to Lagos is narrated, it is the law, you have no choice. But Lagos has choice to terminate all the contracts of land deeds and their tenure and sack non paying squatters. We have the law on our side, and history has reference to the fact Lagos was never a province of Nigeria.

You are illiterate, dont discuss politics or history of Lagos with me and expect a free ride, you will be flogged with hard facts that show you and your federal govt are squatters in Lagos.

whirlwind7:
See why I called you a rëtard?

Simon Ekpa (though an annoying piece of scumbag) is talking to his own people (Igbos) concerning an issue most Igbos agree with (secession) even though he's doing it in a wrong way.
The northern group you mentioned are not Igbos, and Igbos don't have to listen to their threats, even if they carry it out.

Do you see the difference?
You're probably too dense to see it

AfonjaEmir:
This is hilarious and extremely foolish...


An Igbo man comes to YA Lagos and BUYS land, from you.....You are angry.

An Igbo man builds his business and acquires properties...You are angry

He pays his taxes (legitimate and illegitimate)......You are angry

You frustrate his businesses, with poor infrastructure and stewpid policies.....you are still angry

You push uselessand vile propaganda against him. he doesnt flinch and moves on ...you are angry.


You want the IGBO man to bow before you, when the Fulani that you are slaves to, cant challenge the IGBOman directly??

[center] YOU ARE MADT!!...[/center]

When next you hear BIAFRA, also shout ODUDUWA Republic...so that you can have all YA useless Lands....and IGBOs will leave ya useless LAGOS for you.

BUILDING AINT THE ISSUE..ITS MAINTAINING AND IMPROVING THAT MATTERS. IGBO MAN CAPABLE OF REPLICATING LAGOS IN LESS THAN 10YRS....but with you agbado idiats, LAGOS will be a GHOST SHRINE!!

I HEAR SAY YA LAGOS DON EMPTY....and economic activities have shutdown...

Who pass you ...PASS YOU!!

BOW DOWN TO A TRIBE THAT IS GREATER THAN YOURS, useless full!!!...spits

christistruth01:
Was Ore in the Western Region part of Biafra?

What were Ojukwu Soldiers doing invading and attacking Ore in the middle of the night armed to the teeth ?

VEHINTOLAR:
Even if it will cost him his life,Igbo man must chest beat just to show how foolish he is ! Truly,the smartness of Igbo people does not exceed that they use to carry out trading activities in their 2x2 shops ! What a people ! Even if a trap is being set for you,how on earth will you walk straight into that trap with your two eyes widely open ?'! Some of the comments of Igbo people I read here show very clearly the very height of stupidity of a people who pride themselves as "African Jews " !

If you're Igbo living outside of your ancestral enclave of south east,especially those of you living in the south west,pray that your people (Igbo) do not foolishly give the Yoruba people any reason to rise up in arms against you and begin to forcefully eject you from their land ! That is because most of you Igbo foolishly run your smelly faecal akpu munching mouths dangerously too much ! Typical all brawn and no brain lot,chai!

Hmmm,next month is heavily pregnant !

Fujiyama:

This mindset won't work in anyone's long term interests.

So any candidate, no matter how unsuitable - should be supported by his kinsmen just because they share an ethnicity?

PeterObi4LP:
Shut up! Sensible Yorubas like us, who believes in equity, fairness and justice don't subscribe to that your nonsense. Real Omoluabi don't behave like Yoruba Muslim like you.

Real Omoluabi are supporting Peter Obi irrespective of tribe. We need a better country. National interest supercedes personal interest. Tinubu is not an option for this election. Listen to your father's and elders like Pa Adebanjo, President Obasanjo and Afenifere my child.

izombie:
What exactly has the igbos done wrong to the yorubas? Nothing! You want to sell your land, an igbo man comes and buys it, you complain after using the money to do owambe. This is just hate against the igbos that have been living with yorubas peacefully but you turn a blind eye to massacres done by the fulanis. Shame on you

Hyperchi:
Ppl was da shout Igbo, just this few weeks holiday economic for Lagos done shut down. Imagine if it forever agboro go turn govt for street

Conner44:
Igbos have not smelt the presidential seat in more than 60 years yet they are waxing stronger and progressing higher to the extent that your afonja op brother has opened up threads yet again to wail at their ingenuity lol

Why do you think without the presidency yorubas cannot progress or do well in Nigeria? Are you guys that slow and useless to yourselves and the country at large?

It’s a pity. Your mindset concerning the abilities of your people is truly a very giant pity

Ogbuefi2020:
Nonesense. Cowardly Awolowo requested for help because northern troops have overrun yorubaland. Victor Banjo, Yoruba man, led the troops to Ore
