I reside in PH. Authoritatively i can state that no yoruba man nor their tribe has been threatened to elimination by any monarch in Rivers state for choosing to vote their choiced candidate.

Currently, the chairman of Rivers state environmental sanitation authority is a yoruba man appointed by Amaechi. The commissioner of commerce and industry is deltan, yet indigenes of Rivers state didnt threaten the yoruba tribe nor deltans to elimination. We have some wards where non indigene cud contest for elective positions, nobody is threatening hell. So what makes it right for the oba to threaten the igbos to elimination for simply choosing to vote a yoruba man not even igbo?
Lagos is still part of Nigeria and whoever that doesn't like igbos preferred voting choice in a democracy shud do his worst..

Iykopee:


^^^ Can u aswell tell ur oba that in a democracy u dont threaten a tribe to elimination for choosing a preferred candidate through balloting? The oba shudnt take his idiosyncracies 2 far.

Alfamann:
op, you are a big slowpoke.

Scatterboss:



So calling people's land no man's land is right? You all are indirectly disrespecting the Oba for calling his land no man' land. In the video, he said what you cant try in Onitsha and co but you doing it here. During Anambra election, your people call us amala and awolowo people cos of Ngige. Is Ngige a Yoruba man? We all know what happened during that Anambra election and how even El Rufai was locked in his hotel room.

We are not slaves nor coward and our land is NOT and will NEVER be no man's land. Respect is reciprocal.

EUROBOMBER:
The recent happenings in Lagos have created so much tension between the Igbo and the Yoruba. There is so much bitterness and hate talk flying around and this will not do us any good.

When you try to break a wall using a sledge hammer, you need to apply several blows before it gives in. You might need to apply a 100 blows but one thing to note is that it is not the 100th blow that breaks the wall, it is a combination of effects from the very first blow. This brings me to the recent statement credited to the Oba of Lagos to the Igbos. I condemn the statement and I believe every right-thinking person should do the same in the interest of peace and civility. What I want to tell my Igbo people is that the Oba's outburst is not just as a result of the forth-coming gubernatorial election in Lagos but a combination of factors. I hear some of our people calling Lagos a no-man's-land and this is just too bad; this is the height of arrogance and disrespect. How can we move into a Yoruba land, enjoying God's blessings and prosperity only to turn round and tell the people that their land belongs to nobody, that we feed them, and that they cannot survive without us and all the other rubbish and provocative stuff??

Clearly the Oba has been harbouring this anger as a result of the arrogance and provocation of our Igbo people and just could not contain it this time and lashed out.

My Igbo brothers, can we sit down and ask ourselves why we have been so aggressive towards the Yorubas? What have they done wrong to us to deserve this provocation and arrogance? The Yorubas are a very peaceful people and we turn round to call them cowards and all sorts of names. What do we want the Yorubas to do to prove to us that they are not cowards, rise up and go on a killing spree? These Yorubas even returned all our properties to us after the civil war something even our close neighbours in the SS didn’t do!

What does it take to respect your host and do as they wish my people for Christ’s sake? We are prosperous in Yoruba land and are enjoying the land and have no problem with the people, all they are for is for us to know our limits and give them their respect is this too much to ask from us? Let me ask my people one honest question, why are we not shouting that Kano is a no-man’s land The Yorubas have been very nice and taking all these insults from us and we turn around to point our fingers in their noses and call them cowards! Jesus! We claim to be Christians and worship God, is it not written in the bible that blessed are the peace makes for they shall be called the children of God?

My Igbo people please see a sample of what is making the Yorubas very angry with us:

1. I WILL ELEVATE EZE NDIGBO TO THE STATUS OF OBA OF LAGOS - JIMI AGBAJE.

2. IGBO WILL DETERMINE WHO RULES LAGOS- IFEANYI UBAH

3. LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND.- IFEANYI UBAH DURING TAN CAMPAIGN.

4. IGBO DEVELOPED AND CONTROL LAGOS- JIMI AGBAJE DURING GEJ CAMPAIGN IN AKWA IBOM

5. WE MUST PRODUCE THE NEXT DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF LAGOS- EZE NDIGBO

MY QUESTIONS TO IGBOS,

1. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED?

2. CAN EMIR OF KANO ACCEPT ....?

3. DO YOU HAVE ANY SINGLE TRIBE IN YOUR CABINET IN THE EAST?

4. CAN ANY TRIBE CLAIM ONITHSA OR ABA TO BE NO MAN,S LAND?

5. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT THE ELEVATION OF SARKIN HAUSA IN ONITHSA TO OBI STATUS?

[size=16pt]I want to use this medium to appeal to well-meaning Yorubas to forgive the childishness and foolishness of our people. Please drop any plans of violence being planned against our people and all other diplomatic ways of punishing our people in your land including Lagos.

We recognise that LAGOS IS A YORUBA LAND and will respect that. Please I appeal for calm and understanding. I am inviting some Yorubas I respect on this forum to help reach out to your people to be calm, I have personally decided to start a campaign to reorientate our people as God helps me in my own way to change the way we think.

Even God told Moses that if he could find just 10 righteous people he will not destroy Sodom & Gomorrah. Igbos like me are far more than 10 in Lagos and other areas of SW. Please do not bring out the beast in you and and please allow better judgement prevail over emotions.[/size]

You dey mind, I kept on watching that video clip last night, the man was talking to grey haired men, as if they where small children, at a point he dashed forward, I was like if this man had a cane, he would have pulled their air, while flogging them, so as for them to vote his 'choice' candidate.

Alfamann:


Your land is not a no man's land but lagos state is.

EUROBOMBER:


Those guys respect their hosts, you don't hear them calling Rivers Sate a no-man's-land. The Igbos should do the same and respect their hosts, this is a very simple request and not too much to ask from us.

Texcoco:
Op you are now officially a coward and should be branded as such...tis likes of you we don't need. Lagos is no man's land,tis a cosmopolitan city and will remain such.

Alfamann:
This op sounds like that mumu who took the microphone after the foolish oba has spoken and bowed and tried to appease like a slave. Igbos in mouth only.

midolian:
your sense too dey intact..buh I doubt if u are igbo..Igbos are too full of themselves. You cn imagine one igbo guy telling me we can't survive without them,. Hence my signature

EUROBOMBER:


Thank you, I am the biggest Igbo mumu in the world. All I want is peaceful coexistence and continued prosperity for all. Posterity will judge between you & I.

Nuff said.

EUROBOMBER:


Thank you, I accept to be called a coward if that will bring peace between us and our hosts in Lagos/SW. I do this for us and our children yet unborn.

A wise man chooses his fights carefully, go figure.

siegfried99:
OP, Tell'em.

I'm still wondering why ppl call someone's home a no man's land.

How would u feel if others call nnewi and onitsha no man's land?

What an insult.?

Though I'm not in support of what the king said he might have said that out of frustration from such statements.

But if u are waiting for an apology from the king, u are on a very long thing

(dey there make pant dey wear u)

Alfamann:


That's what the house slaves used to say to the rebel slaves.

The greatness of Igbo people is more important than any wealth you may accumulate as a subservant of foreigners and we will not join you in this shameful act of submission.

Texcoco:
They have mixed up so much with the locals that have forgotten their heritage.The only way to charge down a yoruba threat into an harmless bluff is to face it with the threat of not defiance but real force,kowtowing to them as he did will emboldened them to persecute or even kill igbo 'just put them in their place'.The fool's grovellin has just put igbo lives in danger...

EUROBOMBER:


Thank you brother. I am an incomplete Igbo.

Alfamann:


If you pick up your lazy ass and come to nnewi and buy up lands and develop it while we dance, you can call nnewi whatever you want.

EUROBOMBER:


Nobody is talking of submission here but mutual respect. If this is how far your reasoning can take you then too bad.

siegfried99:


and u think u just made sense?

Alfamann:


Mutual respect by threatening to drown me if I don't vote your candidate?
see your life.

Alfamann:


Not to you, no. You need a certain amount of grey matter to understand me.

Alfamann:


Thank me later.
