My friend, the earlier you reliaze that war is not for kids, the better.. from 1st to 2nd world war to the Civil war and Rwandan bloodbath, millions fought and died, widows and orphans were made. It's called war for a reason.

Yorubas will say 'eni yara l'ogun n gbe', "All is fair in love and war".. never forget that

Believeintruth:
Bros calm down and stop lying, Admit that Awolowo was culpable and stop trying to whitewash his image. if roles were reversed and Zik advocated starvation policy that led to millions of Yorubas dying. i am sure you would be advocating for Zik to be tried at the Hague. you will not say that it was leverage ooo. you guys should have empathy and stop trying to deride a people that have carried pains of war and are still standing proud and tall. 2 weeks notice based on what!!!! bros you don't even know how to lie. Awolowo was already an experienced statesman and he wouldn't make any statement without thinking. Why would he ask for 2 weeks when he knew that the general feeling in the eastern region was secession. Haba bros lie with finesse

Solseal007:
I think the operators and agencies of the laws in Lagos are getting things wrong now! Making it obvious that a certain tribe and culture cannot operate in a part of the country is unconstitutional, denial of rights and divisive !

How on earth is police supposed to interfere in this ? There are institutions that deals with tradition and culture, police are meants to uphold the law not to dictate what is law

Believeintruth:
Then you have no right to accuse the people that will take their anger on you for formulating policies that led to loss of lives. That is why there are rules of engagement and there are tribunals that try people for war crimes. Deliberate starvation in itself was a war crime so stop the pretence.

onuman:
But proceeds from crude oil in the Niger delta built Lagos.

The SW can't want one Nigeria on its terms only.

flokii:
It's see finish that's causing all that nonsense.. the only way to stop it is to end the nonsense familiarity, make everybody dey their dey.
"Too much familiarity brings contempt".. na the familiarity bring contempt for Yorubas so.

adolfHitler1934:
That is very perfect from the Lagos State Police Chief.
Ndi Igbo should know that they are very much disliked now more than ever because of their aggression on their host communities.
Imagine them trying very hard to subjugate the Ikwerres. Claiming their tribe.
This Ibo tribe are very cunning and foolishly smart. They come to your place, little by little they eat deep inside of you, soon, they'll then take over the body and claim ownership.

Ibos should leave Yorubas alone, the place belongs to them. Stop the chest beating and dragging another man's place with him, it will continue to breed conflict and hatred for you people.

flokii:
Nope.. the war crime was committed by Ojukwu who starved women and children in biafra to push propaganda against Nigeria..

Gowon's declaration of 'no victor, no vanquished' was the saving grace for you lots.

Awolowo's £20 policy for those that can't provide proof of monies they had plus the trust funds set up for Igbo entrepreneurs to buy equipment and set up businesses made some of your kins rise back to prominence.. be grateful for that.
FYI, Igbos looted the CBN vaults in Benin and other Southern parts before it turned to full blown war. That dishonest act made Awolowo introduce change in currency to teach the thieves amongst you a lesson.

Who pass you, pass you . Yorubas pass you people intelligence wise.

EmekaA125:
I won't correct you fools again about the right pronunciation of Igbo.

Believeintruth:
The looting of CBN in Benin was done by Muritala Mohammed's troops make we no lie about that one. The change in currency was done before the war and not during the war. Because during the war Biafra had their currency. Seriously in war you are asking for proof of people who lost everything during the war before they can access their funds? Haaaa even you know that it is ridiculous. When they have the person signature and passport photo to verify the person.
No how you want to spin that will make sense Awolowo deliberately wanted to impoverished the igbos. What was £20 then? Could they use it to start a business? And again you don't even know how to lie mention the trust funds that was set up for igbos . Bris lie with Finesse.

delpee:
It will be absurd to see Ololu masquerade from Ibadan or Agemo from Ijebu parading in Lagos. Sounds very strange for an ancestral spirit. Masquerades are localised to the best of my knowledge. I've never heard of a masquerade going to another town on a visit.

flokii:
There is a thread on this forum with full text of Awolowo's interview on this £20 policy lie.. all the details of the trust fund and the assistance he gave to Igbos with timeline of events are detailed there in the interview.

You have been brainwashed far too long.

Notice most of your kins and kiths have gone silent after reading Awo's account (probably) as against the lies they've been fed.

Lastly, who told you £20 was small money in the 60s'.. all you needed was £5 - £10 to live decent life back then, yet each Igbo person got a whooping £20 and you're here talking nonsense.

delpee:
From the Yoruba cultural perspective, masquerades are spirit beings (ara orun). Their history and actions are rooted in the beliefs and traditions of their localities. They don't go beyond their areas even within the cities in some cases.

ipobcannibals:
Ipob/esn terrorists have chased most Igbos out of their ancestral lands, hence the need to hold various Igbo traditional events outside the SE.
The Igbos are now like Fulani herdsmen, wandering from place to place, without cattle.
Yoruba, please allow the masquerade to show and then allest the masquelade

"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!!!

Josephkabila12:
says by an indigene, ibo masquerade is not allowed in Lagos State

Okortor:
If not for tribalism, I don't see any big deal in nnewi masquerade coming to Lagos so long Yoruba's egungun also [b](parade in Nnwei) [/b]Lagos.

VEHINTOLAR:
The problem with people like you is that you always have contrary opinion even when such opinion is stupid! Do you even have any idea what level of intelligence work went into this by the police before coming out to issue that statement banning the Igbo masquerade in Lagos? Some of you from that tiny ,erosion-ravaged land of primitive,forest-dwelling ancestors won't stop spewing gibberish until you create a very serious problem for your fellow igbos in Lagos and in other parts of Yoruba land.

Let me give you a hint,you may or may not believe it;some Yoruba youths are looking for any slight opportunity to deal ruthlessly with the igbos in Yoruba land, especially here in Lagos. Igbos are no longer welcome in Yoruba land, it's unfortunate that some of you can't read the handwriting on the wall! The last elections and the #EndSARS protests have changed, or should I say, irreparably damaged, the relationship between the Yoruba and the Igbo. The truth is that many Yorubas now see the Igbos as enemies who must be kept at arm's length. Take it or leave it;our eyes are on you in every part of Yoruba land,Lagos especially. If you guys mistakenly step out of line,you'll be dealt with. The Police know that for a fact and that's why they quickly stepped- in in this case.

May be it's true that "Igbo masquerades perform all over the world",but it will be in your own best interest not to bring them to any part of Yoruba land - the consequences will be grave!

DenreleDave:
Tradition and culture are not laws.....

They are civil affair that the police can take up...

Though I don't support the opposition of such display of the masquerade if it brings no harm

Afrojuju2017:
Culture can not operate in any part of the country where it's actions are not sanctioned by the indigenous people there.

You can't do masquerade on the streets of Kano and Lagos can't become so indifferent to all comers that it's people suffer disrespect, they have their own indigenous masquerades and rites which this masquerade may cause an unsettling of the spirits in that domain.

Did the individuals who wanted to bring the masquerade ask the permission of the king within that domain before even attempting to bring it, I think traditional respect requires this much at least.

Even in SW consequential masquerades don't just come out without reason, for instance in Lagos the Eyo masquerade play is only performed on very rare occasions such as the death or crowning ot a new king or very high chief.

Okonsbecky:
U just full mumu, u talking about tribe of freedom of movement u guys are same people that chase the citizens of borno that seek refugees in ur region due to flood. U hear opening ur stupid mouth talking

Solseal007:
Civil affairs are meant for the court, police are to enforce the law made by the courts in this case there is no law restricting display of culture and traditions in any parts of the country!

It is just muscle and total misuse of office fir police to tell citizens where or not culture is allowed

UnabashedIPOB:
There are some remarkably dumb people in this world. Thanks for helping me understand that!

UnabashedIPOB:
You're as bright as a black hole and twice as DENSE!
