What are your kith and kin still doing in Lagos? Yorubas don't care if you leave. It was the Yorubas that lobbied for the FCT to be relocated from Lagos. If it was another tribe, they would have shouted about being marginalized.

You can ask your stupid mama if she born you well, in fact, you don't need to ask cos it is obvious she did not born you well. Cos a well trained child from a good mother won't be constituting nuisance in the public forum.

If only I had the powers to summon Awolowo and ask him questions.. I would ask what he saw in Igbos that made him leave Ahmadu Bello to be frolicking with Igbos that betrayed him in First republic and even had him jailed over trumped up charges.

With what Yorubas know now, Igbos won't get a single penny or any of their belongings back should and if they leave South West for East.

Lmao yes south south minorities betrayed igbos ....but who instigated the hate ?

From spiff to Sato wiwa , to elechi amadi who instigated them ? Was it not Yoruba media propaganda? ...they systematically took over the jobs in the oil and gas sector with northerners

Back to Lagos ....the question is could Yorubas have taken Igbo properties even if they wanted to ? Thats the Koko and the answer is no

Lagos was controlled by Gowon and him allowing that to happen in Lagos would have proven ojukwu was right after all and he would lose his foreign backers ... and Nigeria Vs Igbos without foreign backers have one winner which is the Igbos

The only way Igbo will have peace is when they settle in their own land.

I know Igbos are your nemesis....you tremble at the thought of Igbos and they occupy your mind free of charge.

Purge yourself of hatred....Igbos are not the cause of your frustrations.

For the record...Igbos can stand the Hausa North as they have been standing up for themselves against any tribe...they only reciprocate the energy you serve them.
Besides Igbos and Hausas(Northerners as well as most tribes in Nigeria continue to live in harmony) that is why you find Igbos amongst different tribes everywhere.

Your pain is that despite the first thrown at Igbos in Nigeria....their spirits are cowed neither are they detered rather they surge forward in success.

Stay away from bitterness bro, it is evil
Celebrate grace jare.
Nigeria is a beautiful country.

What is the wrong with your region?

my region was devastated and destroyed 52 years ago,but has risen from the ashes of the Civil War to become a manufacturing hub for automobiles and automobiles spares , the shoe and leather products capital of Africa, the largest retail market in Africa and also hosting one of the biggest tourist and clubbing hospitality city.
My region did all this with 0 federal government input.

With the recent xenophobic traits exhibits in Lagos, we have put an awareness initiative for my people to relocate critical business from hate filled cities back to the east

If that's what u guys want let's go back to regional system na ...stop the hypocrisy u want one Nigeria

Hmmmmm

The west and the north wanted them back, but those that were under the oppressive eastern leaders wanted to be independent of them.

LMAO... Are you salivating over another people's property that they toiled many years to build? Are you sane? Rivers people that did it, how have they fared ever since? So you don't know that it had a repercussion on them? How many Rivers people do you know own properties outside Rivers State in Nigeria? It comes at a price.
Lastly, as you salivate over another man's legally owned and sweated properties, may the little you own be taken from you by any means so you can feel how it feels.

GeneralPula:

SS did not betrayed Igbos. It was Igbos that betrayed SS during the formation of Niger delta..

Niger delta were the first region to wanted to secede from Nigeria but Ojukwu conspired together with his then northern masters to ensure Niger delta region didn't come to reality..

Fast forward to later - Ojukwu declared Biafra and was wanting to add Niger delta. Nah ment or what?

Its a pity you don't know your own history. Which ND wanted to secede and who was championing the secession?

The next place to invade and when you have made it there start referring to as no mans land is Abuja. Need i eemind you the northerners are not as timid as the yorubas.
PH is very close to igboland but its yorubaland thousands of miles away that igbos have been trying to take over since the 50s.
You can call us cowards all you want...but its that cowardice that built one of the greatest empires in africa.
Our forefathers are just battle weary. After warding off the fulani jihadists and embroiled in decades of internal strife until the unification of yorubaland 200 years ago...yorubas have decided to tow the path of peace and yorubaland have been peaceful since.....

History is good!!!!

Blast from the past, post civil war.

Please listen to the words from the people in the two different videos.

YORUBA: We LIKE them, we WANT them, they are still Nigerians.

IKWERRE : They misbehaved. They should REMAIN in their East Central States [ Igbo lands..Today's South-East ]

Do you know that Portharcourt in today's Rivers State is just about 40km from ABA, in today's Abia State, heartland of Igbo land and both people have a greater affinity and are more or less together igbos.

But YORUBAS have absolutely nothing in common with the igbos from any point of historical recollection.

Whereas, most points of the cities of the Yoruba SW should be about 600km from Onitsha in Igbo land.

But the Easy-going, God-fearing, Friendly, Peaceful and Accommodating Yoruba people threw their gates wide opened and embraced the igbos in brotherhood after the war.

TODAY, the YORUBAS are the rascals who must be dealt with for that action of hospitality.

Yoruba land is the one that MUST BE DOMINATED by the igbos.

Yorubas are the ones who deserve to be TERRORIZED ECONOMICALLY by the drug-peddling Igbo traders and PHYSICALLY THREATENED by their hated-crazed IPOB miscreants.

Be the judge.

Let the igbos judge the case by their own conscience.

Yorubas are killing Igbos and destroying their properties in lagos yet they are still the ones shouting "Igbos hate us" and I keep wondering how this came about.

Yorubas used their media to destroy the good image of the Igbos and awolowo finished what is left of the Igbos during and after the war.
Ndigbo survived all these through the mercy and grace of almighty God.

If truly yorubas are God fearing, easy-going, peaceful and accomodating (like they will always want us to believe) they wont be killing Igbos and destroying their properties in lagos and at the same time dishing out lies and propaganda as if they dishing food all in a bid to twist the fact and narratives.

Evidence of yoruba lies and propaganda below.
1) is the coup which they tagged "Igbo coup".
2) is awolowo negetive actions and lies towards the Igbos all in a bid to bring them down and what they stood for.

Correction 'Ojukwu tried to invade Lagos' but the Officer in charge of the invasion Major Ifeajuna (the guy who abducted Tafewa Balewa) refused to do so, instead he contacted Awolowo and started secretly negotiating for peace, he was caught and executed.

So even in war lots of Igbos still respected Yorubas.

Why don't you mention that in your tribal history?

The officer was a certain Victor Adebanjo:A yoruba man.
He didn't kill the Midwest Premier then and refused to advance to Lagos due to tactical reasons.


It wasn't because of any "supposed respect " by Igbos

Saro Wiwa Betrayal Of His Igbo Brothers, Actually Cost him his Life, So Sad.

By Rowlandgate.

He deserves pity! Never believed Abacha would confirm his death sentence!
From Oputa panel revelations, on the day of his execution, unable to face his fate with fortitude because he believed that his sentence would be commutted.

When they came for him, he kept on asking if Abacha was aware? He Resisted being led to the execution point, kept on protesting for time as he expected reprieve would come at the 11th hour. To calm him, he was shown the execution order signed by Abacha, but he frantically denounced it as fake, demanding audience with Abacha immediately.

The officer commanding the squad, a junior officer told him, the only report his superiors would listen to would be report of his death and nothing else.
Wiwa reverted to telling his killers how close he was to Abacha. The afternoons they spent playing tennis at 2nd Artillery brigade in port Harcourt in the 70s. The nice evenings they used to have. That during the Ogoni protests, he hadcexpected Abacha to have called him based on old times and ask him, the least the ogoni would have accepted. Unfortunately, good information, bad recipients.



The order had been given to kill him.
It was not the wishes of those in the execution squad to be there
But it was their duty to carry out the order.
If the young captain refuses to carry out the order, he would be demoted, among other punishments. And frankly, did he owe anything to Saro Wiwa?
When he was parambulatimg and gallivanting with Abacha, was the Captain there?

Why should he now jeopardize his career for someone who enjoyed with the person who now seeks his death?
The more the officer reflects, the more he got convinced that saro intends to pour sand into his garri. Saro seeing the reflective mood of the captain, thought he was communicating to him and looked back at his companion in death with renewed hopes. But saw in their smoky eyes, hopelessness reflected.

Please God, let me please work..

Any independent observer would conclude that Saro deserves pity and more. He had worked for it. His efforts during the civil war shortened the duration and saved thousands of Nigerian soldiers lives..
You see, while the biafran blocked Omanelu and Isiokpo axis through Elele Junction, Saro was able to organise guides who guided the Nigerian soldiers to infiltrate through Etche, Alulu, link up to Ihiagwa and Nekede, connect Obosima and cutoff the biafran soldiers who had successfully blocked the 3rd Marine Commandos Advance led by Black Scorpion.

He was rewarded with appointment as the Civilian Administrator of the port city of Bonny. And it was really this bit of history that was the bone of contention.
He rightly or wrongly believed he had equal stake in the territory called Nigeria, having staked his life and helped in defeating those who were neigbours to him.

So, the shares of spoils of war, for which oil was the paramount spoil should be extended to his people, because without their efforts it would have been more difficult to subdue biafra, remember the 3rd Marine Commandos were eventually routed from Owerri, just before the end of the war, wherein Black Scorpion !among the few to escape, had to escape dressed as a woman, for which he was court marshalled and dishonourably discharged.

On the other hand, his erstwhile partners in conquest, believed they have more than adequately rewarded him by making him an administrator of the city of bonny and also making him a commissioner in Rivers State.

So he should keep off the oil, whether it was drilled from his village or not.
Posterity would judge who was right between him and those Abacha represented.
For me as a scholar, I believe his requests or demands were in other. Eye wey see deal, the follow share. The child who pounded the pepper is entitled to a share. Odogwublog.com

But you see, he was not really the recipient of the message, for him, his fate had been decided, the day he asked about the oil.
Rather the recipients of the message were other people from the oil producing communities who would dare to ask questions of what’s happening to their oil.
At that point, the captain gave his orders and he was lifted up, struggling and protesting till he was tied up and shot.
When the question of the whereabouts of his body was raised, at Oputa panel, one of the soldiers giving evidence reported that it was completely dissolved in acid.
This is an intelligent narrative beautifully written.

But I should add that Mr Saro-Wiwa – like Adaka Boro and many other “Niger Delta” youths who would betray their new republic – had studied at secondary school and university on Eastern Nigeria scholarship.
It should also be noted that because of Saro-Wiwa’s betrayal, he was also rewarded with countless number of “abandoned properties”, including some previously belonging to Chief John Anyaehie (late father of Barr Nnamdi Anyaehie, CoS to Governor Uzodinma).

His first son, Ken Jnr, now dead too, attended Eton (the best English public school) and drove Rolls Royce to school and nightclubs. Ms Anita Roddick (owner of Body Shop) was Saro-Wiwa’s girlfriend and one of those who did all they could in the international community to try and save the man from being executed. I must not end this addendum without stating that Saro-Wiwa and 8 of his accomplices were executed for the murder of 4 Ogoni chiefs, including Chief Kobani (Kenneth Kobani’s father) and Chief Kobara (Donu Kobara’s father). The 4 chiefs had served in Eastern Nigeria government and had supported Biafra.

Kenneth (lawyer) and Donu (writer) were acquainted with me in England, and I knew how hard they sought for justice for their fathers. They visited Abacha in that quest.
Also as a member of the Eminent Persons Group of the Nigeria High Commission, London and a guest commentator on British television channels like Channel 4 TV and Sky TV, I was both shocked and ashamed on viewing videos of corpses of the 4 murdered chiefs cut into pieces, cooked and eaten by their assailants – after Saro-Wiwa had directed them to “go get the vultures.

As some Ogoni persons remember the “Ogoni 9” on the 25th anniversary of their execution, I hope they will spare a thought – however small – for the 4 chiefs they had been found guilty of murdering by a judicial process and sentenced to death. So, their execution was lawful. Finally, recall that, before Saro-Wiwa’s arrest over the murders, he had run to the same Enugu and the same Chukwuemeka Odimegwu-Ojukwu he had betrayed, to ask for Igbo intervention in his murder case.

It was then that Ojukwu uttered that immortal word “Okokorokoooo” to the frightened Ogoni man. The meeting that Saro-Wiwa attended was at Hotel Presidential Enugu, built by Michael Okpara who had given Saro-Wiwa scholarship to Government College Umuahia – and also betrayed by Saro-Wiwa!
