Lol, how are minority tribes able to pull this of without noise and a majority tribe Yoruba will first start doing numerous round of shalaye if we take any action.

Who induce Yoruba people with this level of extreme liberalism?
Don't mind them. In my Estate, they have turned all the updates to Yoruba language. They keep posting Yoruba video, but they for fund raising, they will remember that everyone doesn't understand Yoruba. Well, we have all left the platform for them as they are predominantly jobless and have time to keep posting updates

Even if it is tribe base. They are free to do so under the constitution. The freedom of association has covered it all ........And there is nothing wrong with that. Inasmuch, it is still in good taste and not promoting any hate speeches etc

Even in the United States, there are association of black farmers , etc
You're right, but i'm sceptical about fully supporting any tribal-based market association in Nigeria because i feel it's just playing into the hands of two-faced hypocrites who scream 'one Nigeria' in the morning and in the evening become intolerant and fearful of anyone identifying with their own ethnicity because they're 'in your land' even though they're still in their country and are entitled to freedoms and rights as guaranteed by the constitution!

Now if any Igbo traders association had fallen foul of the law, then let the law take its course and prosecute them as appropriate! But using any infraction as an 'excuse' to ban said association and similar associations in the state, thereby falling foul of the Nigerian constitutionally guarateed right of freedom of association, is just being disingenous, deceitful, two-faced and hypocritical!

I've always maintained that Nigeria is a contradiction as presently being run, and a expensive joke taken too far by those who never truly believed in it but are only interested in its sustainance for selfish, tribal and religious reasons!

Ijaw and epie people can envy too much, most of them can't run a business, not to talk of sustaining it,they are only interested in receiving and not investing. Looking for politicians they will be chasing up and down and shouting chairmo. The major shops in swali are dominated by igbos, while the ijaws are the ones selling by the road side, where the fellow izon brothers collects daily tax from them. When the owner of tozy supermarket an igbo man opened newly he was kidnapped .
Once any tribe goes against ur $tup!duty in the country, u called dem lazy nd all sort. Mr man, go nd stay for ur region. Is ur region not fertile ?……Ur tribe men are dividing this country more with ur fl@t heads 😂

MadamExcellency:
There is nothing that correlates with Yoruba in this article. Bayelsa is a State, not an ethnic group. Moreover, the freedom of Association overrides whatever was said by the Deputy Governor.

You are too xenophobic to compete and succeed.
Bayelsa is not Lagos where Igbos can do anyhow. They have a history of enforcing discipline against Igbo traders who stray out of line.

Ignore their warning at your peril.

You even have time to respond to that one.

It is only them you see often calling other ethnic groups lazy and all sort of names.

Go to Facebook, they are in every ethnic closed groups insulting and teaching people their history but you never see them telling their own history. Don't know why most Igbos believe they reserve the right to insult and disrespect any ethnic group they want at any time but don't want same to be done to them.

If you disagree with them, they start calling you names and more disturbing is the fact that they do it far away from home. If they don't insult you that you are lazy and that they are the ones developing your land, they outrightly just bring out their small penis for dick measurement

Freedom of association in Nigeria is now a crime. Nigeria is never 1 and can never be. Bayelsa people wey no dey travel commit from their state is now giving orders. I no blame you, na people wey travel go Bayelsa I dey blame. Even international government have not giving such order to the ibos. I hope Nwajagu is still in detention?

Why did Peter Obi make Igbos the campaign coordinators of LP Presidential campaign in Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Lagos and other non-igbo states when no single Igbo state got a non-Igbo as coordinator?

There is freedom of association in the Nigerian Constitution. However, Bayelsa State wants to dissolve these associations so that they can discriminate against non-indigenes, just like they do at Bayelsa Medical University (BMU), where non-indigenes pay double the school fees that indigenes pay.

Oga it still never explained how igbos hijacked LP. After all Alake and Onanuga was among those who handled the campaign so what is your issue? You guys are just stupid in your bid to be mischievous.

If I return your insults now, you will start crying that your mother is dead. Better behave yourself.

Dele Alake and Onanuga were spokespersons, they didn't handle campaign.

Peter Obi made an Igbo man campaign coordinator in Sokoto, the seat of the Caliphate. That alone is an insult.

Despite all the Yorubas who support the bigot called Obi, he made 2 Igbo people campaign coordinators of Lagos.

Unfortunately for Obi, everyone has seen his true intents and that's why LP has been scoring less and less votes in various elections after that.

But Tinubu made a Yoruba man his campaign spokesperson in the name of both Alake and Onanuga. Shebi Onokpesa is now complaining that his government is filled with appointees from Lagos majorly and he ignored others that worked for him.
Oga go and rest jare this plot has failed face the anomaly Tinubu is doing now.

So many daft people in the comments 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

This will not stand if challenged in court

Moreover, they can simply just rename the association. But the function remains the same

It's a near impossible task to stop people from gathering n belonging. They'll always find a way
