Recall that Reuben Abati had said that the Igbo people do not sell land to outsiders.

Just look at how Abati is agitated and using intimidation to silence Ojy.
This Yoruba man was born in Enugu state and have done a lot for his community including building a stadium.

is it a lie ?

Let's speak to issues.

RZArecta:
is it a lie ?

The Igbo's also don't sell land to themselves, other tribes should be irrelevant in the discussion.

If half of the Igbo's are outside their region meaning there should be enough land for whatever, how come South East land is ridiculously expensive than other regions?

so the open hatred of Igbos by the Yorubas including their so called elite is not an issue worth talking about before it leads to a bloody, Rwanda style crisis ? You're not serious

Imagine the fool
And he has to use a man who died several years ago
.
He could not find at least one living yoruba man that was denied land in the East to use as example

Who on earth doesn't have reservations about each other... but an adult is meant to keep quiet on some issues. Imagine saying the whole Igbos don't sell land to outsiders and some grown up adults sees it as true. What necessities such generalisation...borne out of hatred or love. Only in Igbo, land is subsistence kind of...A may want to sell and B will say no which may hinder the buyer.
It's a custom in Igboland to keep inheritance to children and it's a known fact that when a family sells ancestral land, the money turns out useless.

Igbo proverb said... being tall doesn't mean a child/adult has grown up.

If you say the mouth of a dog is good, when given to you...make sure you finish it.




We are not the first people on earth to be in captivity and prospered more.



Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Mat 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Even the educated suffer the same Igbo phobia. Ruben has always been like this on Igbo issues for eons. People who don't know much about Abati, should go back to read all he wrote about the Igbos during the regime of Olusegun Obasanjo. At a point , he was boasting of how Obasanjo will cut off the head of Igbos if Uwazuruike didn't stop his MASSOB agitations. The whole thing raised a storm then. . These are all closet tribalists.

Land is costly in Igbo land because land is scarce. It is what it is. I am not sure of any Yoruba man willing to drop over 200 million to buy a plot of land at Nnewi. There are no real Yoruba presence in the east. You can not stay in Lagos or Okitipupa and be upset that the cost of land is high in Igbo land. Most of your guys in the east, live in groups like the northerners because of the high cost of accomodations. That you're out priced does not mean you are banned from buying.

Unfortunately or fortunately, JRB don't even see himself as Yoruba man, he is more aligned to his Nsukka side...

Hmmm

Abati should not be making hasty generalizations.

The reason why one of my customer a Tiv man hates Yorubas is bcus when he came to Lagos newly, the landlord of the house he paid rent for refunded his money telling him dat He does not want a Tiv in his house.
Does this means that all Yorubas do not rent their apartments to Tivs??

This stadium is a stone throw away from my house and one of the biggest mansion in my community is owned by a Yoruba man.

Yoruba people don't travel much within Nigeria so what they know is what the media sold to them.
