"What's wrong with this man [Nduba Anekwe] contesting for the local government chairmanship [of Ojo LGA in Lagos State]. In an environment he was raised and contributing his quota to the development of the area?
Are you saying Nigerians in diaspora can't contest for elective positions in areas they are domiciled?

Tribalism has a limit and should have human face. It appears we lack humanity in us. We have wicked bile.

Anyway, in sane societies people with ethnic or racial outlook have no business coming for elective positions.

The likes of Bayo Onanuga and co. have no business being a Presidential spokesman. But here we are! He Is being glorified by powers that be and ethnic evanchists" 😭 "

My first reaction to this comment is to be very angry. You are calling me stupid to my face and by extension the Yoruba people as a collective.

1. You are telling me that in Ojo LGA of AWORI- YORUBA LAND, it doesn't matter if an IBO ANEKWE is Chairman of the LGA, the same LGA where Alaba International Market is located.

Are you aware that one "Alhaja Mesan" founded that Alaba Market just like "Alhaji Paramo" found LADIPO in the 1960s long before Ibos found their way to Lagos? Just as they obliterated Alhaji Paramo's name from Ladipo they pushed out Alhaja Mesan from Alaba.

Are you aware that in that Market, and most probably in all other Ibo-dominated markets in AWORI-YORUBA LAND OF OJO, Ibo men like ANEKWE wrote a constitution for the running of the market with a clause which PERPETUALLY DISQUALIFIES NON-IBOS from contesting elective positions into the Exco of that market.

In that same market wherefrom IBO ANEKWE most probably emerged, the late Mr. Moses Adebayo, the ONLY YORUBA MAN who had a reasonable business in the market was constantly harassed and very narrowly escaped being LYNCHED in broad daylight.

It happened in 2002, please find out.

His sin was that the IBOS couldn't stand a Non-Ibo exercising his rights to free market enterprise in a market located on his ancestral Yoruba land. They were angry that the man held in his hand a very enviable sole marketing rights for Nigerchin cables.

He just narrowly escaped being LYNCHED on the streets of Alaba Market when the Ibo traders set out to tear and burn in

What do you think could have happened to Moses Adebayo in Ariara Market of Aba? Would he have dared to be so successful under the noses of the barbarians of Abia who are mostly cannibals.

I remember I have told you some of these stories sometime ago, please give me links to the number of articles you have written of your findings and to condemn these things or you haven't finished your investigations?

2. You are telling me that ANEKWE has every rights to contest anything in Lagos when the same man is from a culture in Ibo land where a Catholic Priest from Anambra State wouldn't be allowed to lead a congregation in Imo State?

A culture where a whole parish of Anglican Church in Onitsha was BURNT DOWN by Ibo people just to ensure a Yoruba Priest didnt get to conduct Yoruba service in that Ibo land of Onitsha.

A culture where a young Yoruba man was summarily assassinared in that same Onitsha for daring to DREAM of contesting Councillorship seat into the council. He hadn't even started to aspire when he was killed.

A culture where an IBO man whose GREAT-GRANDFATHER migrated from EBONYI donkey years earlier was told that he couldn't contest Guber Elections in neighbouring IBO STATE OF ENUGU where his family had lived three generations.

A culture where Alex Obi was told by some Abia people that HE WASNT IBO ENOUGH.

In that same Abia, the people vehemently rejected the idea of an Anambra man being installed as an HONOURARY MAYOR OF ABA.

A culture where the FAMOUS JOHNSON family of Enugu hasn't produced a single councilor or known to have occupied any political office in Enugu even when that family has lived at least SIX (6) GENERATIONS in that city.

A culture where Bianca Ojukwu was told that she couldn't contest Senate in Anambra because her father was from Enugu, notwithstanding the fact of her marriage to Ojukwu.

Please give me links to the number of articles and comments that you have written to condemn these stories above or you never heard?

3. You are telling me about Diaspora, how mischievous of you!!!!

Were you not in this same country when Betty Anyawu Ada O-wèrè, just by virtue of the position of GOVERNOR'S WIFE supervised the movement of OPPORTUNITIES AND COMMONWEALTH due Ondo people to her kinsmen in Imo State?

She's been married into Yoruba family, had children for Yoruba family and living in Yoruba land for over 40years but every opportunity she has had it was ALWAYS BEEN IBO FIRST, even with the resources of Ondo State people. And anytime she had the opportunity to talk about Yoruba people it was always very derogatory. We can as well make her Governor of Oyo so a man like you can be happy in "One Nigeria" abi?

There is a man currently representing Eti-Osa of Lagos State in the House of Representatives. He is from Benue but rode into that position on the wings of the Ibo support in the Labour Party. The first time he was ever heard in the floor of the HoR, he was fighting tooth-and-nail for Ibo interest AGAINST the interest of the Yoruba people whose land he represented. He was fighting more or less to stop the Lagos-Calabar Coastal road because it won't make his ZIONIST friends happy.

In 1998, one Patrick Chidolue was elected by the Awori people of this same Ojo LGA in question on the platform of the UNCP. The elders of Awori land gave it to him on a platter of gold in the spirit of liberalism and "One Nigeria". He was all over the Aworis like a Saint. The DAY HE WAS ANNOUNCED WINNER, NO AWORI OR YORUBA MAN could near him ever again even in his office in Alaba. His Ibo people took over. They BLOCKED him totally from the Awori party leaders. He became Ibo property.

In that Lagos, the story is told of another Ibo member of HoR. All the days he spent at the HoR he was VOTING ALONGSIDE THE SOUTH-EAST CAUCUS of the House and never on the side of Lagos or the SW.

There was another Ibo man voted into the Lagos HoA. The FIRST CONTRIBUTION he ever made on the floor of the House was to request that the members should stop speaking Yoruba language in the House.

Are you aware of all these?

I bet you are not.

It has to be selective hearing for you sir.

In that Diaspora you are quoting, do you think Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala can be made a Governor of a State in America and she will sit down there doing Biafra things or moving around with Peter Obi Obingo mentality? Do your think Kemi Badenoch can become British PM tomorrow and she will be thinking in Yoruba? Believe me, as British PM, she can press the RED BUTTON to bomb Yoruba land if she found it necessary.

Can you say the same thing with the Aguiyi-Ironsi UNITARY CONSTITUTION running Nigeria?

Never!

An IBO GOVERNOR in Lagos will be thinking like someone just brought out of the evil forests Umeleri. It will be IBO FIRST for him. Next thing he will appoint an Eze of Lagos and place him above the Oba of Lagos. Then he will pick up the Land Use Act and sign off all the land of Lagos to his Ibo people.

In Osun, the dancing nuisance called Adeleke even with a Yoruba father, the fact that he had an Ibo mother and Ibo wife was powerful enough for him to hand over Osun State to the Ibos. In broad daylight he handed over the SOLE RIGHTS OF OSUN OSOGBO FESTIVAL TO AN IBO MAN. That Osun is one of the most supremely sacred customary matter of Yoruba people; he gave it to his Ibo relatives to handle.

In Lagos, Peter Obi handed over PRACTICALLY ALL THE LP TICKETS, INCLUDING SUPERVISORS ROLES TO THE IBO PEOPLE.

He was more or less saying that the Yoruba people of Lagos were either uselessly incompetent or stupidly untrustworthy. They didn't qualify for LP tickets to represent AWORI-YORUBA land of Lagos.

Please tell me, who is that man who will EVER EVER have such guts to do such a thing anywhere in Ibo land?

Nobody will dare.

4. Please tell me, why is it that this "Nationalism" of the Ibos finds appeal and suitable ONLY in Lagos and in the SW Yoruba land?

I don't understand. It has been so since the 1940s of Azikiwe. That "Nationalism" is advocated only for Yoruba land.

Why aren't they preaching it in Abuja, Kano, Sokoto, Borno etc?

Why don't they preach it in Edo, Delta and Kogi?

Why don't we hear the Ibos challenging the Anang and Ibibios of Akwa Ibom on their politics and opportunities? Why dont we hear it in Rivers and Bayelsa so close to Ibo land?

But in Ondo, the Ibo man had an Eze who was pointing fingers at the nose of Oba Deji Akure or you didn't hear?

In Ibadan, the Ibos are talking about "detribalized politics" the things they won't say in Kaduna!!!!

Are you aware that Peter Obi got LESS THAN 30,000 VOTES in the whole of Kano at the last Presidential Elections and he didn't even try to grumble. But in Lagos where he got over 500,000 votes he called the entire Yoruba people "Emilokan".

The entire South- East is just about the size of Oyo State yet it has Five (5) Governor, 15 Senators, 95 LGAs and about 45 Members HoR. All these people collecting allocations and benefit according to the iniquitous 1999 constitution which derives from Aguiyi-Ironsi and Ben Nwabueze. But you want to cross over into Yoruba land to share their own political DUES and add to yours!!!

What kind of crooked sense is that?

Please, I beg you, DONT EVER EVER make the mistake of this kind of argument with me again. It gets me very mad.

YOU ARE CALLING THE WHOLE OF YORUBALAND FOOLS TO OUR FACES.

Please be warned.

I am now convinced that this campaign has to move from social media to the physical. We are going to be physical!!!

This is happening in 1 NIGERIA!!!!

Just support BIAFRA so that you can own everything as you like.

This obsession of YORUBA on IGBO matters is becoming pathetic and it shows YORUBA insecurities in all totality.

PS: Fulani Herdsmen killed 4 OBAs. When are you going to write against them?

But after writting this long nonsense, once Igbos ask to be granted a seperate country of their own so that they won't have same rights in Nigeria, the same idiot that wrote this nonsense will be ready to pick up gun and fight civil war

You complain about Igbos, but cannot do without them in your 'one Nigeria'? You are the problem, not Igbos

It is everywhere in Nigeria

The definition of When we pointed a finger to someone, four is pointed back at us.

I laff when people talk about one Nigeria or federal character something that the democratically elected president and his cabinet don't believe in at all.

That's why Nigeria is sooo backward, there's no unity

There's this supremacy in every corner of Nigeria

Shouting "One Nigeria" in other people's lands, but "Biafra or death" in your own land?

You want to eat your cake and still have it, taking others for a fool?

You make your region unlivable for other Nigerians, you destroy their businesses and support terrorism again your people and others.

You're destroying government properties, killing government officers and yet crying of immaginary marginalization.

Due to greed and covetousness cornering other people's lands and communities into your imaginary Biafra without consultations or agreements with their traditional rulers and stakeholders. And you call this is smartness?

Keep observing yourself through a colored mirror, but we see you clearly and know you for who you really are. Keep lying to yourself, keep wallowing in your grandiose delusion. Tomorrow shall tell.

Sleep on the bed you laid in the past and stop bugging us

Dont let them gaslight you, like Our Late Sardauna once said, Ibo man must be WATCHED Closely in EVERYTHING!

Yorubas need to WAKE UP Fast, that LAGOS in their(ibos) EYES for a very Loooooong time and they wont relent UNTIL Yorubas Ronu FAST!

All the more reason for you people to support Igbos having a seperate country of their own

But unity beggars no go gree

It's not for Igbos to grant anyone independence, Igbos don't own Nigeria

But I don't see any Igbo complaining about an ethnic group, but still fight to be in the same country with the ethnic group they are complaining about

If anyone feels that any ethnic group has a supremacist agenda, support that ethnic group to go their way as a seperate country, rather than insist on being in one country with them, and keep complaining forever

Makes no sense

What do you mean when you say we should support you to have your separate country? What can we do to help you? How come you need our help and can not channel a way to do it by yourself since it is your own decision.

Whenever you ask for our support, always be specific. I will be expecting your response on what we can specifically do to help you have your own country. Thanks.

Meanwhile, you are the unity begger, begging for our support everyday.

The support I mean is that when you hear of Biafran agitation, be vocal and say it is the right of Igbos to go their way rather than speak against it

Have you ever seen any Igbo man fighting the idea of Oduduwa Republic, Yoruba Nation and Sunday Igboho?

But mention Biafra, IPOB and Kanu and all hell will break loose

Agbadorians and inferiority complex

So who owns the Igbo's in Nigeria that is not allowing them to leave Nigeria?

Helinues and his people are pathetic bigots

I'll be glad if you can make a list of Yoruba elders and prominent men who have ever violently agitate against Biafra separation.

(Although this is not to support him) but does not your elders (including Mr Peter Obi) became agitated when lagospedia raised an hashtag about #ibomustgo? isn't that a way of supporting you?

When you are really ready to leave Nigeria
1. You will recall all your senators and rep members from Abuja
2. You will stop all your Governors from collecting allocations from the fg
3. You will tell all your people living all over Nigeria to return home.
4. You will demacate just the small land belonging to the Ibos without adding other people's land as currently it is on your immaginary Biafra map.
4. Then you will request for a referendum.

That's when we will know that you're serious with the separation.

You are still kidding if the same you are an IPOB terrorist yesterday, obedient today, and "Lagos is no man's lander" tomorrow. You are just a joke and that what we see you to be.

What the OP said is absolutely right. Igbos can't even allow fellow igbo who have lived in one of the states but originally from another eastern state to contest election. Bianca Ojukwu is a case study cos even when Anambarians made us to believe that Ojukwu is Thier Messiah and even founded APGA the ruling party in the state but still they tell her wife to get lost. Igbos are the most hostile tribe in Nigeria. I have lived and transact businesses with many tribes but igbos are something else. Only few are actually good. The Yorubas has been good to you people in the past but you people took their meekness for foolishness and now when they become ruthless, you are screaming. I support the Yorubas for not allowing igbos to contest any elective positions in Lagos. If you like, live Lagos for fifty years, you are not a Yoruba. Go to your place and contest. Other region, you see people contesting election in past from another region but in igboland, is a taboo.

If you want to leave Nigeria and get your Biafra, you people no what to do. We have seen some African countries do. Go and follow their process and stop be stupid with these half baked talk most of you always do. You can start by not participating in election and program of the government, like immunization. You people should stop applying for government work and contracts. I don't take you people serious anyday cos I know you people are not stable. Have you people not be crying of Tinubu favouring his Yoruba and you people even said how many igbos in his government. Today you want presidency but when you people lose out, you remember Biafra. You people in all your five state should first conduct a mock referendum to ascertain how ready you are and now take it up. Most poor igbos are the ones mostly shouting Biafra.
