BUT YOU PEOPLE CAUSED IT, AND WHO CALLS US YAMIRI ?

Boss13:
I want to use this opportunity to draw the attention of APC chieftains. They should not neglect the wishes of minority groups. You can ask the Republicans. These groups can form a political party and challenge the majority so that their voices can be heard. Also, you cannot fight them with arms because it is a criminal offence and jail time awaits such person(s).

APC should begin to create political positions for these groups in order to calm their nerves and ambition. They should know they are dealing with very ambitious tribes, who are creating a niche for themselves. The Presidential election have shown that they have a voice. The Governorship election might even spring a surprise just because they feel their voices need to be heard.

Respect their wishes, their decision and their voice. Do not ignore them on the premise that they are non-indigenes. You might escape 2015; but 2019 would be tougher.

[b]They trade too, but they also trade in the West (Lagos), because this is the economic powerhouse and it was the defunct capital of the country, it has the population and the market.

Chief, there are white collar jobs in the South South comprising of oil companies, Federal Civil Service, banking industries and co. If you do your census, you will notice that the Westerners are also there.

Are you telling me that if you got a job at Shell in Imo State for example, you would not take it because you feel that the Igbos will not accommodate you. Who employed you, is it the company or the people.

What you notice in the South East are SMALL SCALE INDIGENOUS INDUSTRIES with less the 10 staffs in a company sometimes. As i said earlier on, when it comes to white collar jobs, the Westeners are largely there, but when it comes to trading/businesses, there are a few.

LAGOS IS NOT POPULATED BECAUSE PEOPLE WHAT TO STRUGGLE WITH THE WESTERNERS, LAGOS IS POPULATED BECAUSE IT WAS THE DEFUNCT CAPITAL OF THE COUNTRY. THIS POINT CAN NOT BE OVER EMPHASIZED.

PEACE !!![/b]

Hahahah, is this how you lose your cool? Please try again because you just didn't make any sense whatsoever. Who is comparing SW and SE? Igbo and Edo candidates presented themselves for election in Lagos state and were overwhelmingly voted by the masses, you are here behaving like a lost soul.

You talk as if PDP didn't win any seat in SW or they didn't get any vote in the SW or no Yoruba voted for the PDP. Stupidity is when you think that every Nigerian must belong to the same party.

It is often said that Igbos don't like being in the opposition, well, this is your chance to make them play the opposition and they have gladly accept, yet you are lambasting them for not joining your government! make up your mind son, but while you are at it, pleas remember that the insignificant Igbos are winning house of reps seat in SW

I don't like dat inyamiri too. Well, our for fathers caused it for fighting.

THE WINNER IS NOT BASED ON HOW MANY MILLION VOTES THAT YOU WIN BUT HOW MANY STATES THAT YOU WIN SO KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED AND DONT YET DO THE NAMING CEREMONY OF YOUR BABY WHEN YOUR WIFE IS JUST 6 MONTH PREGNANT...AN IGBO ADAGE

Awoofawo:
Go and sit down somewhere and reflect a bit on the election both pre and post election activities around you!

If Yoruba should rise up against you people, you will whim about being marginalize and cry foul. Now they choosen ignore you and uses you to achieves their objective you are here and proud of being scammed.

If war should rise ( God forbidden) we you and your lot stay back in Lagos to fight for it....

I pity you people, don't start what you can't finish....

Jejely taken they dashed you and keep your mouth shot.....

nduchucks:
I'm sorry sir, but I am simply posting raw news. This does not give you the right to call me a bigot when you don't even know anything about me. You sir are the bigot who got bent out of shape simply because you saw the word "Igbo" in the article. Why do you feel threatened by that?

Sir, the political clout of Igbos in Lagos is growing, whether you like it or not. That is the reality, deal with it.

christopher123:
this is the worst analysis i have seem, the most stable jobs is business and that is why you as a business man goest into a region and you see that there arev potential you will not mve you just stay put and develope your firm as a small scale business and this tend to reduce migration but as a white coller job person you have the high tendency to be transfered from head office ton one region to develope the firm and you will see the migration ...so as you can see that your logic have loop holes

igbos are all rounder, in my family we are technocrats i am from anambra none is business man we have lawyers engineers etc and non is business so igbos are not only business minded but technocrats also and all rounder


yorubas not travelling out has nothing to do with white coller jobs because igbos still do these jobs but i think it is about their fear of the unknown which is legendary in them

when i was doing my NYSC somewhere in BENUE i saw how my yoruba corp members where scared always always wanting to go back to west but the igbos there as corp members started doing food business and sending them to east


SO BRO FORGET THAT YOUR SUBMISSION, IT IS FAULTY

duni04:
On one hand this saddens me because we've allowed foreigners, who would not even replicate this kind of gesture in their home states, represent us. On the other hand I'm happy because it shows Yoruba people are tolerant of other tribes and practise modern democracy devoid of tribalism and ethnic affiliation. On the whole its a win-win for the Yorubas. Its shows that elections were indeed free and fair in Lagos. Can't say the same for the states in other regions, especially the SE and SS.

christopher123:
wat makes you think so, when it comes to the banking industry it is more of igbo thing, bankers need funds and businesses have funds and igbo are business men and the banks will employ igbo staffs to go for these funds, can you take a stroll into any bank and ask how many igbo staffs are there, when you talk of ICT igbos are basically there from swift to smile isp these are basically igbo firms now take it to maritime, you know who owns these clearing firm, try go to apapa and ask questions and who are the importers . So my dear stop saying yoruba are WHITE COLLER JOB PEOPLE, we know as it is, even in AVIATION and MEDICALS the biggest hospital in lagos EKO hospital are owned by two igbo and oner yoruba SO WHAT ARE WE DEBATING HERE

FIND ANOTHER LINE OF EXCUSE BIKO

GoldHorse:
Yorubas are the most "detribalize" ethnic group in Nigeria and this is what make us great just like America (Lagos is a typical example). We intermarry freely, we welcome visitors freely and allow them to flourish too.

So you guys should stop claiming your clout is this and that and you will take over this and this soon before you start sending wrong signals to various people. Most people might not mind accommodating friends but please be sure that NOBODY will want that "friend" to take over or change that leadership/ownership equation and might do whatever it takes legally or otherwise to prevent the apparent "takeover". The same America is a typical example here too (the relationship between white and blacks).
So please don't start what you can't finish! Don't sensitive people to the wrong thing, don't make them aware of what is not there because, believe me, you won't enjoy the outcome.

Your business (which I know it's the reason majority of you are here for) will not be as pleasant or profitable when your host community doesn't like your face and you can quote as many laws as you like it won't change a thing.
How will you like if one Mr Ngbatingbati that has been living in Onitsha since whenever claiming he will take over the leadership of the great Onitsha market for starters?!

So please STOP THIS!

Mykevp2p:
I don't think I need to continue this discussion with you for the simple reason that you assume and imply that winning an election is just a "dash" by the yorubas to the winner. I repeat, if the APC incumbents had did their job, they would have retained their seat. You musn't be shouting change just at the presidential level. No election is a "dash" by anybody.

You are really slow in thinking and I will leave you at that. bye

christopher123:
LIGHT YEARS...LOL I LAUGH IN EGBA. OK WE ARE HERE TO MAKE A STATEMENT, RIGHT FROM DEPORTATION AND NOW.

SPAIN WAS LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF JAPAN, ISRAEL AND CHINA BUT WHAT IS THE POSITION OF CHINA AND TIGER. WELL IF CHINA AND THESE COUNTRY C COUGH THE WORLD CATCH COLD

WELCOME TO THE NEW ORDER

bidex:
No! you are wrong! we have plentiful Yorubas in the north even in borno despite bokoharam bombings but you hardly see yoruba men in the EAstern part of Nigeria. why? the Igbos are no accomodative. they treat non-igbos like an alien

deskossy:
Lagos needs change too...they should crash tinubu empire i need agbaje to win

Awoofawo:
Let me ask you! WHO ARE PDP PARTY CHIEFTANC IN LAGOS AND S.WEST? Igbo or Yoruba.............? Do you think without input of those party godfathers Igbo or any other tribes would be able to emerged as the party candidate in Lagos? You are talking trash, go and learn about politic strategy, I repeat your tribe is am expendable entity in Nigeria politic....

GentleToks:
The same mistake your progenitors made in the North when your progenitors were growing in population, politics and business in Kano before they were caught out.
Before 2015 election or better still before Jonathan tenure, Yorubas have moved on from ethnic/tribal politics.
They never see Igbos as a political threat in their land but having heard and experienced your repulsive utterances and attitude in the last 4 years, trust me, this is end of the road to any Igbo politician in South West.
However, let me quickly refresh your memory as regards what happened in post 1963 election, Yorubas loved and voted for Nnamdi Azikiwe party in Lagos; they didn't see things from tribal perspectives until your progenitors started what you are doing now and that was end of their political relevance in South West.
I remember Yorubas telling you here that Jonathan will not be voted in South west but you all thought it was a joke until you see the result. I am betting you on this, come 2019, the Igbos are gone and none ll be allowed to come back again.
Finally, it's ok to give a minority group a chance as far as politics is concerned in a cosmopolitan city like Lagos just like every other cosmopolitan cities around the world where Nigerians are holding political offices; it would have been absurd for Nigerians to start rubbing their political success and relevance to their hosts'faces; that they are taking over their city. It ll naturally send a red alert to the host community.
This repulsive attitude of Igbos will even cause chaos in developed countries such as: Britain, US, Canada etc
NB, Edo state has always been our brothers and sisters regardless what you Igbos say or do. If you go into Yoruba part of Nollywood, you ll see the likes of Mercy Aigb, Liz, Toyin Aimhaku, Doris etc and these ladies are doing exceptionally well without being discriminated against.....
This is what most Yorubas are doing in South west to some of Igbos who are not financially ok and I guess there are so many stories like mine.....
I never see Igbo as Igbo until I joined Nairaland. We have a tenant called Sunday from Enugu as we chat here, he used to be a businessman who owns a big pharmaceutical store. Thus, things began to change from financial freedom to financial chaos. He couldn't even feed himself and his younger ones from Enugu talk less of paying his house rent. My old yoruba took these people like their own and started treating them like their children even to the point that my girlfriend then couldn't believe that we r not in a way related. However, after one year of not paying a penny, my parents called my attention that Sunday and his younger ones are not paying rent and being fed by them, I told my parents to continue to do what they r doing.

kibo:
[b]About being the worst analysis, you are entitled to your own opinion. Kindly refer to the points below:

1. The most stable jobs are not businesses. Infact they are the least stable jobs because the entrepreneurs bear the whole risk of the business. Although, the profit is larger compared to paid employment. Why do you think people go after white collar jobs, it is because of their stability and security. All you need to do is wait for the end of the month to get paid. But markets fluctuate, and these affects the profit of businesses.

2. I never said Easterners dont do white collar jobs, i said as far as small scale businesses are concerned in Nigeria. The Easterners are more inclined to it than the Westerners, which brings about the topic of migration.

3. Transfer only comes in 4-5 years, and in come places, is influenced. Transfer doesnt mean your job is not stable. It is temporal and people most times, move back to their previous locations when they retire. The business men dont, they build homes and business empires when they migrate, They are there to stay.

ALUBARIKA !!!
