Your retort isn't shocking because you've always shown that you have no knowledge of history. And you're no different from the [b]educated illiterates who decided to model a country like Nigeria, after America.

[/b]If tribalism never helped in the advancement of Europe, why do you think systems of governments in Europe were created to recognise the tribal fault-lines, with autonomy/semi-autonomy for everyone? Ukraine is that last bastion on continental Europe, hence it's going through whatever it's going through now. And that's the problem with Africa, and Nigeria in particular, with the fictitious borders - and the utter useless system of government that doesn't give room for self-governance.

I honestly don't know why you're citing illogical examples to buttress your point. What's the correlation between the civili rights movement and indigenous folks co-existing within the same space? So, the struggle between two immigrant groups after the indigenous folks were destroyed can be equated to to this one, no? What rights and social justice are you fighting for in Lagos, questioning the language and tradition of the people, when you have your own region within the same country? How about start with your region, and show others how it's done? Oh, you still have intra-ethnic squabbles you can't fix - but when it's claiming other people's possessions, that's when the inconsequential American junk becomes applicable. It's basically greed and a case of trying to eat ya cake and have it at the same time.

The continent is hopeless cos it's populated by you and your ilk. And rather than analyse the structural problems on the continent, and proffer solutions based on that- you keep adding more problems to it with innate greed. Supreme minds understand the foundation of problems and proffer solutions based on that, while shallow minds copy and paste look for quick fixes everywhere.

Marry from your Yoruba tribe. The children are certain to be yorubas but anything else is not.

If u hate people becos they dont speak ur language then stick and marry people that speak ur language.

Wat is difficult about that or are u just a nuisance? The yoruba that will come to my door for marriage will most certainly be lynched becos something tells me, they are the bigots like shymexx and dayokanu.

The love inter-tribal marriage but not inter-ribal cohesion, but rather subjugation and domination of other ethnic groups.

We know that thing that u think u know.

Lol, they're slowly but surely taking Peckham back. Peckham should be white again in the next 10-20 years. Brixton is even on a faster pace. I was there last weekend, and the place has changed - with so many white people. Once they finish pulling down all the estates, it should become over 70% white.

White people are migrating back to London like never before, and they're moving black people out. What's the population of black people in the UK? - just 3%. What do black folks own? - absolutely nothing. We're not even a threat to no one, and not entitled to anything apart from the passport, really. Even the identities are different: you're British - and they're English, Welsh, Irish, and Scottish.

SirShymex:
Well, that's ya family. But that doesn't negate the fact majority of parents, based on what I know, still have reservations about certain ethnic groups within Nigeria. Heck, once you look at some of the cultures and all the primitiveness involved - you wouldn't even want to be part of that shiit. Anyway, I just cited that as an example. Regardless, women marry out, and men marry in. However, if you're a man, marriage doesn't mean you should lose ya identity. Eve

Ah interesting to know that they are trying to take London back. Last time I was in that city, I thought I was in a non English speaking country. Then I got to Newark and was like "ah so this is where you white folks are hiding.

Nigeria's unity is a settled issue. UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. We are Nigerians and Nigeria is ours. Every single part of Nigeria belong to NIGERIANS.

Those that sow the seed of discord in the name of ethnic plurality and religious fundamentalism will be defeated by the hard earned unity of Nigeria. Souls were avoidably lost in a regrettable civil war to sustain the unity of this great nation. The loss of those souls must not be in vain.

LAGOS STATE aka EKO aka LAS GIDI is a reflection of Nigeria's strength and unity. Lagos was created as a gathering point of NIGERIANS from every nook and cranny of our beautiful nation. In Lagos state, it is difficult to differentiate people based on their ethno religious nationality. LAGOS IS OWNED BY NIGERIANS. The tribal homogeneity of Lagos disappeared with the end of the civil war and the declaration of NO VICTOR, NO VANQUISHED.

Those of you threatening mayhem against Igbos are not aware of how complicated the task will be. You don't understand that Nigeria's unity supersedes spurious ethnic claims. What you seek has been settled decades ago. IT CAN NEVER, I repeat, IT CAN NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. The moment you start it is the moment you will face the wrath of the Living and the Dead.

NIGERIA WAS SIGNED AND STAMPED WITH BLOOD. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DUMP YOUR ETHNIC BIGOTRY AND ACCEPT EVERY NIGERIAN AS YOUR BROTHER OR SISTER IRRESPECTIVE OF TRIBE.

SirShymex:
No, I'm not interested in a culture that celebrates yam, caste system, and all kinds of primitive stuffs. I still can't get my head around certain aspects of Yoruba culture, yet you want me to add other stone age baggage to that, while buying a wife and making the whole village rich at the same time, no? I'm not interested, mate.

Just speak the language of the place and assimilate into the culture. If you want to celebrate yam, or whatever you lot celebrate - you've got a whole region for that.

Stop confusing yourself with the endless UNITY crap. We are not against unity hence our generous hospitality and brotherliness, what we are against is domination and dilution of out identity, culture and way of life and if I might add, needless insults, disrespect and shady acts of ungratefulness..

There's a clear difference between UNITY and Domination.

In the video I posted pages ago, the Sardauna of Sokoto figured you people out and raised the alarm decades ago, but we looked the other way because of our welcoming and conciliatory ways which you people are now taking advantage of.

Keep pushing if you must, but just be mindful per the fact that we all have our breaking point.

We all know what happened when you pushed the North to that breaking point...

[b]Nansense! Shymex u are a bigot and it is not ur fault, u just have no life that is the problem.

ur interest is inconsequential with regards to a multitude of cultures. Unlike the Islamic or Sharia system, these cultures are the exclusive reserve of those that are born into it and anybody that wants to join the practice and not forced on anybody even those born into it.


They are lawful and are fundamental aspect of human rights. In the Nigeria constitution, it falls under "freedom to association,Freedom of Belief and Religion, Freedom of Opinion and Information, Right of Peaceful Assembly and Association and Right to Participate in Government and in Free Elections.

U dont have to buy a wife becos nobody sells their daughter. Igbomen undergo the same right of passage called dowry(bride price). Shymex is there a law that mandates u to marry from the igbos? Must u marry from the igbos? If u don't like a people must u go and marry from them? Is that a healthy realtionship or life to live?


Lagos is not yoruba. Nobody is dragging Ibadan or Akure with you. If u want yoruba culture only and people go to ur village and stop claimimg a City State.[/b]

Nah wah o... don't know your level of education, but someone that claims prof. is not living up to his name on here...

in South Africa, was the majority (that formed ANC) not the ones ruled by the minority during their apartheid era?

I may be wrong on this one, but Rwanda? Weren't the Tutsi the minority?

I am still on page 10 of the thread and you just exhibiting intellectual dwarfism over and over again... I guess it is what happens when you allow sentiment cloud your reasoning... cant think of anything else.

It's the people that make a political party a winning machine. If you have the majority, why beg? Just make APGA the winning machine.

In a democracy, the majority should not be in opposition. If Igbo are the majority as claimed, they should be ruling, not be in opposition.

177. A person shall be qualified for election to the office of Governor of a State if
(a) he is a citizen of Nigeria by birth;
(b) he has attained the age of thirty-five years;
(c) he is a member of a political party and is sponsored by that political party; and
(d) he has been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent.

You probably felt very clever after this utterly delusional rant. You made a host of silly analogies of your e-battle over your land, with examples like Egypt and Native Americans and you think that portrays any knowledge of history? There are no such provisions in European civilization like you claim. You concocted that in your own distorted version of history. Autonomy for such ethnic fault-lines doesn’t exclude the participation of other residents. Else, I would love to see how this contributed to any of Europe’s greatest nations’developments today. You could take any of Germany, France and England as examples and outline how this worked in their system and contrast it with Nigeria rather than blowing hot air and thumping your empty flat chest.

The analogy with the civil rights movement is a pretty good one. An example mustn’t have 100% similarities, especiallyas your own analogies were miles away from what the example you gave, but I guess your pedantism only applies one way. You had blacks who toiled and performed their civic responsibilities without the rights of full inclusion in the political process. You have other tribes (not just Igbos) inside a state who probably constitute as much as half, if not more of residents of the state and yet, electoral posts are 100% dominated solely by an indigenuous group, while appointed posts are well over 95% dominated by the same group. Why should that remain unquestioned if our constitution is fit for purpose and defends the equal rights of Nigerians everywhere? Who is questioning the language and tradtions of your people? What possessions of your are being claimed? Possessions you've sold away?

I'm guessing that last sentence means you consider your mind one of the supreme ones. Did I mention there's nothing sadder than a pretentious, deluded poser on the internet?

Remarkable: If you are not lieing , show us 1 post where an Igbo has claimed they have the MAJORITY in Lagos.

(That should be easy to do, given the bolded as you claim).

Thank you

Are you serious?

You are using the quote of a SWner... why did you not quote Gbawe that used a higher 93%... you're very funny.

and are you sure its "lying"?
