In other places in Nigeria, they would not even buy you the form if you are not indigenous.

Yet this chairman is ruling ifo local government like its Federal. The is depriving indigenes slot and giving it to outsiders.

Some other LG and state government below.

Peter Obi bought forms for both indigenes and non indigenes in Anambra as governor. Go and check it. In all these, he didn't make noise. Why are our people so biased? We think we're moving forward when we're actually retrogressing. My neighbour in lagos who's ibo trained a Muslim apprentice free of charge and bought instruments for him. He's into roofing and aluminium work. His parents just gave him to the man cos they had nothing. Only poor people fight this fight . The rich in Nigeria don't know tribalism. No wonder they keep using and dumping you.

Where did your tribalism of 2023 lead you now? Have you eaten today? Mtcheew

shortgun:
....yet a Yoruba woman is senior special assistant to the Governor of Enugu State. Don't you think she is depriving indigenes of Enugu state of employment opportunities?
This thing you want to start will burn you too

PigTormentor:
Yorubas are only giving back what they have been getting from Igbos for generations.
Time to pay then back in their own coins.
You cannot hate on others but except love in return.

CorrectionFLuid:
"Must be indigenes of Anambra". Not "must be Igbo".

So an Igbo person from Imo or Enugu states is also exempted. But you carry am for head and spread it as an example of igbo tribalism against Yoruba.

The hatred is in you Shaa. Na you e dey pepper, and na you e go dey pain.

bigpicture001:
Kemi leave tribalism alone... U didn't cause, die or fight in the Biafran war... It believe that ur ppl are the best in naija is very very well contestable... U can go and ask ur grandparents why dey actually hate the igbos, u will hear it's simply cuz of too much education, if u dnt know that is the main reason...

Before the war, the igbos are too educated and hold most of the good technocrats needed positions in most field in Nigeria, 100% through merit cuz they were not the president then.. ND have never been... But this growth and development started scaring ur grandfather's.. that is wear the weary attitude ND hate came from..

Den after the war.. the igbos had nothing, they needed to build something but the government handicapped them by seizing all their wealth.. so they started again.. this time through both legal ND illegal that is why u see many igbos in crime...

But to just hate cus ur dad to u to is u being a dummy... The next generation not Igbo children trained by their crime ridden parents she started again to Excel in everything, dou not like yorubas now cuz of the slowdown cuzed by war.. but they are fast catching up...

Slytiger:
Only 1. For anyone you give, there are hundreds in the SW.

Tinubu literally made igbos commissioners when he was Governor yet he is most hated by igbos.

I've told you where you will find it, if you're too lazy, then keep quiet.

It's a known fact that some States and Local Governments in Nigeria regularly buy WAEC and JAMB forms for their students regardless of tribe!
This is news because an Igbo lad was involved!
This tribal nonsense is not going to help anyone. It has to stop from our localities down to the political scene.

happney65:
The chairman get time. I guess he has forgotten that is the Hallmark of his party the APC.

The only thing they know how to play is tribal politics. This didn't start in the 2023 elections. It started in 2014/15. They want a divided south and they seem to discover fanning the embers of ethnic strife online is the best.

Most of these people on Twitter and naira land are actually paid to run this nonsense so it is organized.

The same people who said they will campaign against Oyo Gubernatorial candidate Buelah Adeoye because his wife is Igbo. As in I haven't seen that level of foolishness before in my life.

However,when it comes to actual standing up for the Yoruba's we don't see them. They go to hide their cowardly faces. It is only when it has to do with electioneering that they shout "Ronú" so it is all politics.

The majority of the people of the South West and South East have no problem with themselves. They are best of friends,business partners, have the highest number of intertribal marriage in Nigeria.

Yet online due to politicians wanting to win votes,they have recruited an army of useless and jobless online trolls in which the only thing they know how to shout is Igbo this, yoruba that

Awon oloshi!

Kudos to the Chairman jare

Slytiger:
So indigenes of Anambra are fulanis?
There is a gene in indigene.

shortgun:
I thought you said Igbos don't give other tribes equal opportunities in the Southeast.

CorrectionFLuid:
This is a normal thing in every state. Condemn this one too, and don't be a coward.

All I see are APC bigots crying very hot tears. Very useIess set of human beings. 😂
Look how pained they are because their fellow human gave recognition to the achievement of another human.
May they cry and dle in their pains and tears.
FuuIish abgad0 sIaves. 😂

Enugurangers:
What proof is that the woman is even Igbo to begin with. Nnamdi Azikiwe also gave his kids Yoruba name. Igbos especially the ones in Lagos and Ibadan give their kids Yoruba names. Her last name "Okebu" is Igbo.

CorrectionFLuid:
I then put it to you that you I am liar. I am lying just to stoke hatred and disharmony. Don't do that again.

madridguy:
The useless Ifo local government will learn his lesson soon.

Tinubu free WAEC back then make them overflood Lagos, but how did they paid him in return? They gathered everywhere praying for his death over mere election.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
Early politicians of the 30s, 40s, Chiefs among them are mostly talented in writing and journalism and some owned media outfits, with which they laud and inflate their egos while simultaneously deflating d profile of those they disagree with in the political firmament.

Herbert Macaulay (A Yoruba man), the Father of Nigerian Nationalism, also a journalist was fond of calling dissenting voices 'imperialism agents' but ZIK took it to an elevated proportion, re-christened it to 'imperial stooges', 'Uncle Toms' and 'aunty Jememas', even those whose patriotism and Nationalism had never been in doubt were so named; minor disagreements and you are blacklisted. ZIK had a Newspaper outlet, 'the Pilot', a tool he creatively used to maximum advantage. The editors would daily eulogize him for d basics, and sometimes for the hitherto unknown and unheard of good things for Nigeria, nay, 'Mother Africa', Some of them acclaimed him as d 'Ghandi of Africa' and others declared that ZIK deeds had 'eleczik-ified' them.

ZIK was obviously very gifted, intelligent and clever which manifested in his works; however, he was regarded by many of his peers as the 1st consummate propagandist that Nigeria ever produced. In inflating his own ego or deflating that of his rivals, publications on the Pilot observed neither modesty nor reck. In this connection, he was in direct line of succession to Herbet Macaulay, but like all sons who are worthy of their parentage, in this respect, ZIK outdid Herbert Macaulay, for he took propaganda several notches higher with a slant of deep seated tribalism.

[b]For example, when the ban on Palm Kernel was imposed, the Pilot supported it and reported thus: "the measure by the Government is fair. Instead of reducing the whole country to poverty, only the Western provinces will be affected and they can switch over to other avenues, to make body and soul live." He held similar stance as to the agitation against the 'Cocoa Pool'.

ZIK brazenly supported a policy which clearly threatened the livelihood of the Yorubas. Were the East on the receiving end here, ZIK would have dipped pen in gall, and crafted a creatively worded opinion on the Pilot, denouncing the Cocoa Pool as an 'imperialist device or stratagem whose aim, object and purpose was to oppress, repress, depress and distress Nigerian Cocoa producers and dealers economically' and he would have replicated same for d ban on palm kernels in d West. He would have labeled it 'a gross betrayal of trust, an indelible stain, blemish and stigma on British imperialism; a vain attempt, a complete misfire and a palpable boner in the realm of divide et impera.'[/b] Pardon my poor attempt at replicating ZIK's creative writing genius, he many a time used such strong words.

ZIK took this tribalist venom to higher Plateau when he graced the front page of the Pilot, and entitled it 'Football Iliad, 1940 Edition' what many described as a shocker, a big step forward in an insidious campaign colored in Bigotry. A football match between 2 schools, Christ the King's college, Onitsha was hosted by St. Gregory's college in Lagos, in a match tagged 'Win the War'.

The CKC team from Onitsha defeated St Gregory's team by 5 goals to 4. Spectators had a good watch, even the host considered the match very entertaining, a bonding moment for teams made up of teenagers of different cultures, that afterall is the spirit of sport.

But how did ZIK report it? ZIK saw in the sporting exploits and triumph of the team from Onitsha the inherent superiority of the Ibos over the Yorubas and he went to very great pains to establish this in d careful choice of words and emphasis..

"And then to think of the great combination of d Spartan heroes who crossed her loudly Niger, journeyed through the good earth of Benin, hurried across the domains of the Oshemawe of Ondo, of the Atanla of Owo, of the Owa of Ilesha, of the Ooni of Ife, of the Alake of Abeokuta in their invasion of these islands!

Who, but heroes of mighty brawn and exceptionally developed brain would have dared to make this invasion and to succeed in carrying to their River Niger home, the Golden fleece of Inter-Collegiate Soccer Championship of d Eastern and Western Provinces?"

...Such was the mocking tone with which ZIK described an innocent football match with a slant of superiority complex.

But the same CKC team met the Olubadan XI, an undiluted Yoruba team in another 'Win the War' match on 24 August 1940 and were roundly defeated 3-2.

It may just be a matter of coincidence that ZIK wasn't in the mood to write at the time or perhaps he suffered what we call 'Writer's Block', because for more than 2 weeks, this headline event never got reported on the Pilot. And when the paper finally wrote on it, it was only a small item on the back page, like a mistress smuggled out of the window at the arrival of the madam of the house..and was laced with excuses,

"the CKC team was already tired; some of the players were in fact limping before the match",

and other calculated efforts to avoid giving the yoruba boys their well deserved accolade, and extreme energy was exerted in ensuring the brilliance and talent of those little yoruba boys was never acknowledged.

This was but tip of the Iceberg, ZIK would go full scale Bigotry afterwards.

Shall I Begin?

The Ibos were given inordinate publicity on the pages of the paper, which I regard as appropriate and in order, to promote one's root..but at a time when other Nationalists made concerted efforts in describing citizens of Nigeria as Nigerians or Africans and celebrated their laurels and feats as credits to Nigeria and Africa as a whole, ZIK would jettison the whole for the particular and elevate Ibo over and above every other tribe and largely over Nigeria as an entity, and in a manner that smirked Ego inspired Hate.

Typical Front Page news title in the Pilot this time were;

1. 'Ibo Young man Sail to U.K.' Sept 23, 1938. Referring to Mr. Jaja Wachukwu, who later became Speaker of Houe of Rep.

2. '14th West African Student, 10th Nigerian, 8th Ibo in U.S.A.' Jan 28, 1939. The 8th Ibo was Mr. Nwafor Orizu, later became Senator.

3. 'Ibo Medical Student Passes Exam in 1st Class Honours.' June 26, 1940. That was Dr. S.O. Eguwatu.

And some weird editorials like:

'The Ibo Are Coming' Dec 31, 1938, Wondered what ZIK meant, but the title is indicative enough of some theory of domination.

These are but very few examples of deliberate actions of ZIK in portraying the perceived supremacy of the Ibos over others, for the Pilot never beamed the light on the achievements of Nigerians of other ethnic stock...

For example, when the Ph.D. degree of London University, indeed any university for that matter, was conferred on the first Nigerian ever, such historic success was only given a small space in the paper and the title read: 'Nigerian Economist passes Ph.D. London', because that scholar was Dr. Fadipe, a Yoruba.

You don't know anything about history at all.
Development has been in existence in Yoruba land when your people are still using leaves as clothing . Don't let me remind you of your life history only Remo Omkiri knows your people well
Stop justifying a criminal what is bad is bad they are there in Asia on death row

Ofemannnu:
I am surprised to see 3 Yorubas on Twitter going against what that chairman did.
They were even stressing the point that it should be Yoruba and nothing else.
This is really bad and not the behavior of omoluabi but Igbos caused it.
I am sure if that student were Hausa or from other ethnic group other than Igbo,they wouldn't have gone against his utterances.
Yoruba for decades,have always had soft spot for the Igbos,a lot still have but Igbos themselves have eroded and continue to erode this affection by their utterances and actions.

With the advent of the internet,a lot of Yoruba now see the hate Igbos abhor in their minds and actions against Yoruba.

Some people carry politics on their heads like gala.The last election in which Igbos negated Yoruba in Yorubaland and also the SE really dealt a big blow to the soft spot between this 2 people.
To be candid,it was Igbos that continually break this soft spot with 'Yoruba must not be president' Lagos is no man's land' ' etc.
I hope something will correct it else it will get worse.
