You know the cause of the bullying brother and stop claiming victim here.
Have you ever seen where Yoruba man is claiming Omo onile in the whole southeast?

The same thing you're doing that we are condemning here in southwest is what you're doing in Ghana right now....the reason why there's no too much noise on that Ghana is that the place is not your country.

Get it straight guyman!

It should never have gotten this bad. Igbo and Yoruba love one another in those days. No Yoruba kid dare speak ill of strangers among them. They were welcome with open arms: towo tese!

Unfortunately, today, all the "wars" between Igbo and Yoruba is in the West. Why not in the East?

I missed those days of amicable co-existence, not realizing it could only happen in Yorubaland.

It’s the population of the Ibos in the west that is causing the problem .
You can’t have that kind of noise in the East because you don’t have plenty Yorubas dragging your limited space and resources with you .

That is the truth
Wise people will want separate country with Igbos instead of fighting against their Biafra freedom always, chanting one Nigeria but keep hat!ing Igbos

You people will come to our region to share the little resources meant for the indigenes and still be disrespectful.

You can't plant guava and be expecting to harvest Apple
You all came to East and fought for three years after they all left your region in 1967.




You can't plant mango and expecting yam.

I can tell you another thing, there's no Yoruba man that's stupid enough to think he can drag the same right with Igbo in Igbo land.

The same cannot be said of Igbo man in Yoruba land.always try to use your sense
There is no Igbo man that will be stu!pid enough to come south west to fight Yorubas from having a separate country.




The same can't be said of Yorubas.

So if 40% of the indigenes from each states from South East have relocated or migrated to other part of the country , what precisely have your governors been doing with the excess resources? You guys never even bother to ask such question
Are we not one Nigeria again?

It's folks like you who played the ostrich when it was necessary for you to call those sheshede and non-Yorubaland based Igbo to order when they were destroying the beautiful relationship your ilk and parents helped to nurture.

Only Engr. Chief Joe Igbokwe, God bless him, spoke out to warn against the disrespect you were giving the Yoruba and he was thoroughly insulted, called derogatory names and was almost killed! You kept silent. Even when his village house was set on fire by Igbo arsonists who were after his life for clamoring for you to guide your relationship with the Yoruba and appreciate the Yoruba as great host. You kept silent.

To our shock, many of you who were born and raised in Yorubaland even stopped communicating in Yoruba, started pretending that you cannot understand or speak Yoruba again and resented anyone communicating in Yoruba. Smh. You that you were known as family threw all away!

Many of you, rather than call them to order, used the anonymity the social media had then and joined them in disrespecting, insulting and degrading the same Yoruba you grew among with love. Haba. You were all insulting Yoruba leaders, from political, traditional and religious leaders, even Pastor E.A Adeboye, Prof. Wole Soyinka the Nobel laureate, were not spared of your insults and disrespect!

You who grew up in Yorubaland and understand the Yoruba culture suddenly pretended to forget that respect for elders is sacred among the Yoruba and it is one of the ethos of Ọmọluabi

The Lagos REC of INEC raised the issue of massive, coordinated and sinister transfer of many voters from the Southeast to Lagos State and it was to influence the election outcome and determine our political leaders in Lagos. Then the Yoruba resolved that "enough is enough!". The Yoruba decided to protect the political interest of the indigenes and Yoruba who own the land. The strategy adopted in Lagos is now to block the sinister outcome of that failed 'coup' and prevent such from ever happening again.

Lagos is not called " Ilu ọgbọn" for nothing. Eternal vigilance is the price of human liberty.

I am thoroughly surprised that people like you can bring up this issue after new order has been established.

Speaking on ChannelsTV about PVC collection issues in Lagos state.

Mr. Olusegun Agbaje (INEC REC, Lagos state) said:

"At Oshodi Isolo, we had lot of people that migrated from the southEast just to vote in Lagos. Instead of been transferred from the Area(the polling unit), what they did was fresh registration. Those who did transfer, got their PVC. Those who did double registration, unfortunately couldn't get their PVC"
But no Yorubas spoke out to warn against the disrespect and attack you were giving the Igbos..


At least you claim to have one Igbo that did.

Port is not something you do yourself as a business man bringing development but Government it involves the sea into a country country's navy and all that. So a government must be blamed here its just that. Why do you now think they want their own country?!
Alway finding excuses.


Lekki Port was built by Lagos State and foreign investors. The FG license has been approved for ports in Onitsha, Akwa-Ibom, Bayelsa, and Cross River State.

Dangote is presently building a port in Ogun state, yet all the Igbos billionaires are waiting for the federal government, which hasn't built a port in 50 years.

Do you ever see a Yoruba man say Yorubas own Igboland or that Enigunis no man’s land? Do you ever see a Yoruba man operate a kidnapping ring in Igbo land like Evans the billionaire kidnapper? Have you ever see Yorubas operating baby factories in Igbo land? Have you ever see Yorubas manufacturing and distributing fake drugs and drinks in Igbo land?
None st!up!id people will want separate country from people they claim to do all this.

But Yorubas are fighting for one Nigeria

Keep all your peace talk and continue insult the Yorubas as Agbado Back biters, insult Tinubu as Tinupoo, Fashola as failed minister of power.

Please Yorubas do not be deceived by any outreach from any miscreant who immediately after losing election malign you n your leaders be they dead or alive be it Awo MkO Tinubu even Obasanjo but once election is getting close they start churning out senseless rethorics like this.

Yorubas the sensible ones should learn to read between the lines. Now is not the time to tone down own their insult, we should reach out after the election in 2027 is over n i am addressing both that like Tinubu n those that hate him.

DO NOTE LET THIS GUYS GET AWAY WITH WHEN THEY CAN INSULT US AND WHEN THEY CAN FOOL YOU TO VOTE OBI THEIR CANDIDATE. THEY'LL CONTINUE WITH THE INSULT AFTER 2027 ELECTION THE 2023 ELECTION N INSULT FROM THEM THAT FOLLOWED IS A POINTER TO WHAT THEY WILL DO AGAIN. WE MUST ENSURE DO NOT GET AWAY WITH IT.

Remember they did it with Hausa Fulani tru 8 years of Buhari and got away with it but we must ensure they never dare such ever again in their life.

Nobody shares anything. Everyone earns his keep and still contributes to the development of the State by paying all outrageous taxes so imposed aa well as extortion by agberos and Iyalojas

Glad you now know the difference, prepare well cos the fire is just starting, E go reach u for Alaigbo.

My siblings and I where born and bread in Lagos. My Dad built his first house at Ajeromi in 1993. We are all fluent in Yoruba language until we all entered university and get more expose. Yorubas of then while growing up is different from the ones I am currently witnessing.

So you Igbos do not share in the infrastruture provided bybthe state n LG govt in Lagos ?!

Are they not also known for running kidnap den in other part of the country.

Are they also not know for producing n selling fake drugs, hard drugs n fake consumers products why is that not listed in your narration ?!

shortgun:
There is no law in Nigeria that restricts any ethnic group even if it's 100% of a region’s population from relocating to another part of the country. The Igbo people are known for their entrepreneurial spirit and adventurous nature you'll find them in virtually every nation on earth, let alone within Nigeria. As long as Nigeria remains a single, united entity.... peaceful coexistence is the only option

You should also support Yoruba's agitation to be your king n you their slave here on Earth n in heaven.

grandsuccess:
support their agitation to have their own country - that way, you can deport all of them in the west so they will stop being a problem to you.

Flogging of the heads of migrant from Kanu n Obi kinsmen will also persist in place where theyvare not wanted.

PaChukwudi44:
What mistakes? You are an online noise maker.The maximum the SW will be in power will be eight years after which it will leave the region.People who migrate will definitely continue to transfer their voters card to their new locations.

Following the counter coup of July 1966, Hausa soldiers were fond of harassing and beating Ibos in Western Nigeria.

Yorubas protested on the streets to get Gowon to call his Hausa troops to order .

A few days later, and Ibo guy was caught attempting to blow up the University of Ibadan .

When asked why he wanted to stage such a dastardly terrorist act, the Ibo terrorist said he wanted to avenge the sack of Ibo VC and Ibo lecturers .

Note the VC wasn't sacked rather he decided alongside all Ibo staff of the university to relocate to the East. The Ibo VC whom Azikiwe imposed on the university had illegally paid himself and every Ibo staff of the university three months of their salary in advance prior to running to the SE.

The Yorubas in Ibadan began to Ronu from that moment forward.

Everything you Ibos are going through be it in Western Nigeria , Ghana , India , SA or wherever on the planet you brought it upon yourselves as you are fond of causing problems for yourselves by constantly insulting and attacking your hosts

This statement is the reason why I despise igbo governors, due to how poorly developed thier states are, we migrate to partly developed states to survive. If Abia state had the level of development lagos has you won't see much igbos in Lagos.
Lagos is just a ground to hustle and flex.
