ok thank u. I blame social media

All this hate between igbos and Yorubas is only because of one man's ambition.
They sold the doomy to other low mentality Yorubas in Lagos and they bought into not knowing the consequences.
If igbos leave Lagos, how many will remain
Lagos will turn to warri.
Ask what happened to warri in the 90's and now. Warri is a ghost town with almost no business activity as we speak all because of the arrogance of the people.
Before you drag me, I'm a waffi boy.

If Ibos leave, Lagos State can NEVER be a ghost State. Your analysis is very incorrect. First off, the there is a huge Yoruba Diaspora population in the U.S., UK, Canada, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, etc. these folks travel back to Nigeria and invest in properties and agribusiness in their home states and Lagos State as well with the Yoruba population being over 55 million people spread in Nigeria, Benin Republic and Togo as indigenous citizens).

In case you are young and NOT conversant with the history, Ibo hatred and hate speeches towards other Nigerians ethnic groups and Yorubas started simply because of the Ibo loss of the Nigerian Civil War of July 1967 to January 1970 (exactly 2 years and 6 months).

That's how the organized attacks, blackmails, and lies started from 1979 election cycle till date. So, it wasn't the Yorubas that started it. I remember that back in 1987, the nationalist, lawyer, and political leader, Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, died peace, and he was given a state burial as a political icon and GCFR. Years later from the late 1990 right up to the establishment of the Ibo secessionist group called Massob in 1999 and Ipob in 2012, groups of shameless Ibo propagandists and secessionists online and offline began to fabricate FAKE stories and lies that Chief Obafemi Awolowo committed suicide and drank rat poison. As a man who alive in 1987, I can tell you that NOTHING like that ever happened.

Second, there is a dishonest meme that many HIGHLY irresponsible young Ibos have been uploading for some years and are still circulating right now which FALSELY claims that Ibrahim Babangida called Yorubas "cowards". Again NO such comment was ever made by Gen Ibrahim Babangida but the dishonest Ibos created that fake meme which is in circulation even on NL. So, these are some of the many unforgivable FABRICATED lies and Insults that some irresponsible young Ibos spread online and that is unforgivable! In many of these cases, the Ibos clearly started the aggressions first towards Yorubas and other ethnicities. Seeing that Yorubas are many online has led to the heated exchange and push backs due to the constant attacks that you see online. Smaller ethnic groups are NOT able to match the bullying of the young Ibos online except the Yorubas who have over 55 million people in population. Many prominent Yoruba religious and professional icons and multimillionaires and billionaire have have

No dummy was sold by any one politician to YORUBAS in Lagos like you incorrectly stated again except you are blind to see that the attacks on Yorubas by Ibos gained momentum during the GEJ era and continued from the 2015 elections till now but the attacks had been there before 1999. All the hate speeches and false posts can still be read on Nairaland and other Websites used by secessionist groups such as Massob and Ipob. The internet doesn't forget and these false and inciting posts by some Ibos can still be read online going back the the 1990s and early 2000s. Even before these protests on NL, there was an uptick of well-known monikers owned by Ibos who constantly created thread topics that were INCITING and insulting the current President of Nigeria over the economy only to say that Ibo are not part of the protest despite the fact that Ibos kept on bragging that they are okay economically but that's a BIG lie because Ibos are also feeling the economic heat... but it is asinine and hipocritical for Ibos to be making inflammatory comments on NL and other Internet platforms which keeps triggering Yoruba folks into anger and they hit back at the Ibos.

I understand what you mean by Warri being a near ghost town because I worked with a multinational oil major, but Lagos CANNOT fade because aside from the multimillion Naira investments of Yorubas in Nigeria and the Diaspora, other ethnicities such as those from Edo and Delta States for instance have some investments and live in Lagos State and the nearby Ogun State.

Otemwen, it is a moot point, Ndigbo are going to be in Lagos, Ibadan and all over ala Yoruba for ever and ever.

I keep saying we shouldn't use noisy, embittered Obidients as a yardstick for Ndigbo in real life.

Same with Ovb'Esan all over Benin and Ovbi Yoruba in Lagos Street, they will always be there.

EngrKemp:
Then the south west should as a matter of fact leave Niger Delta at once

Bloody bigots.


They are joking with fire
.


The day they will do their nonsense and the Niger Delta people and Igbo people agree politically , that will be the end of this unity everyone is seeing..

The problem of south remains Yoruba and Igbo trouble

The Niger Delta people can work with both Igbo and Yoruba and even the north but these two have refused to work together

attached by force crew..hahah

They (Ibos of the South East) are the ones relentlessly calling for a separation from other Nigerians and first started the use of hash tag "IgboMustGo." They even gave themselves a timeframe for relocating from especially Lagos State yet they are still in Lagos. So, yes, they will still be all over other regions like you stated but the time will come when Nigeria will come full cycle and independent countries or alliances will emerge like in the former Soviet Union and regulated entries and exits will take place. For a few of them from the SE, they would have permanent residence being married to Yoruba folks and they would come in and out of the new "Yoruba country" or "Edo country," etc, but their numbers would reduce because of restricted entries and exits that would require visas to apply if ECOWAS membership is not going to be in effect. Or like Ghana does, you have to have a specific amount of investment funds for you to invest in Ghana as a business person.

Whilst I agree with all you said, I genuinely think an Ndigbo exit from Nigeria wouldn't be the bitter one that some online miscreants are postulating.

It would be a "soft exit" where Ndigbo's rights remain the same for a while with maybe even dual citizenship of sorts allowed as you've sort of described.

Ndigbo, Indians and Turkish people are three groups I notice that once they live home, they and their descendants are never going back lai lai.

All these small boys expecting Ndigbo to return home are joking, return home to be second class citizens àbi.

Is it my Lagosian Agbor friend that everybody jokingly back in his ancestral town calls Lagos boy or Ndi Yoruba, that you only see walking around mainly with other Lagosians on campus, that Biafran separatists want to drag into their Biafran enclave? For what?

Social media has really empowered too many young people and not for the better.

@ the bolded.

Those folks from core Agbor in Ika South West LGA don't see themselves as Ibo from the East. In fact, they will tell you they have Bini ancestry from especially the paternal lineage. Alariwo of Africa the musician is from Agbor who is fluent in Yoruba and is married to a Yoruba lady. Jim Ovia and Godwin Emefiele are also from Agbor. There are folks from the outer extreme of Ikaland such as Igbodo that identify as Ibo in convos I've had with folks from Anioma for years now.

The Dein of Agbor even told his subjects to stop speaking Ibo language and instead speak the Ika language and use Ika names for their children. The thread post on the Dein's comments was uploaded on NL a few years ago.

Indeed, that social media is a double-edged tool that enlightens folks but had also general a dark mass of propagandists and secessionists who deliberately and relentlessly tell LIES to create an ethnic history they never had or they fabricate lies to achieve domination over others.

Thanks for the lesson, the Agbor friend I referred to does speak Igbo fluently, or their non core Igbo version, and their celebration dresses and mannerisms generally are more Igboid than Edoid (are those valid words sef) but I take your point sha.
