Really? The only place currently getting documented for cannabalism ritual in 21 century is your yorubaland.



What were you saying again?

This is not cannibalism. It is sacrifice and it is not even part of Yoruba culture anymore. It was abolished long ago. But any unfortunate night traveller or stranger in igboland will find himself in someone's soup pot in bits and pieces if he is not careful. Igbo's are man eaters!!!

There are about five ethnic groups in eastern Nigeria and igbo is just one of them. So, oil does not belong to Igbo's. Ole!!!

Why not come claim the one in Abia, Imo and Anambra.

Ahhhh. Empty osu!! I guess you never leave your village before or you only live in ragos. Visit other southwest towns and see your people busy hawking poor standard stuffs. I dare your people not to vote for APC and see if they won't be thrown into the lagoon. They better obey quietly like ssheik amechi and alhaji okorocha are doing. Ndo OSU!

Awww he finally resulted to painment. Ewwooooooooo e dey pain you? Heya.
And spare us your superstory, we all know the amount of igbo in other SW states is extremely rare. Like we asked who wants to live in poverty, underdeveloped tout filled land? Dem craze.
Ha I'm guessing you weren't aware there are Igbos currently voted in lagos assembly. We currently don't care about una governorship, none of the contender are igbo so this year obe no concern us. The one wey concern us are already in your assembly ha ha NTO!!!!! This sat ppl are going to vote just cause they wanna test una gra gra, not because they give a f2k. If lagoon no swallow each igbo that votes for JK, Shebi we go know una gra gra is your usual loud mouthing. Anyway, like I said. By the time igbos are done with una, Emir of illorin would be proud we don replicate am. Now you can cry me a river and flood up your lands somemore.

Assumption. Why don't you give me one example of Yorubas maltreated in Igboland...and one example of a Yoruba who tried running for a position and was rejected. don't blame Igbos for your laziness.

Again...it seems you have never come across the Nigerian constitution. That land I bought in Lagos belongs to me...and not to you or your drunk Oba.

Cocoa? How much is cocoa? How much cocoa is grown in Lagos? Why then did you dump cocoa for oil?

Lol.


The land is leased to you sir. It is yours to occupy for 99 years. That will be changing to about 30 years now.

yoruba people are not in any way have much say in lagos even in house assembly 4 igbo candidates won and they are now the members of the house representatives in lagos.Lagos is no mans land" igbos are buying up everywhere in lagos developing the swampy lands and selling it back to other ethnic groups that can afford it specially niger delta people are buying a big chunk of properties from igbo developers..... in few yrs Oba of lagos will relocate down inside yoruba villages apparently some foreign big financial companies are backing igbos and that is the big problem illiterate Oba and his kins will face in future because those companies will do anything to protect their investment

My dear not 4 Igbo candidates but One and the other one is from Edo abi Igbo dey bear Oghene? The two other PDP are Yoruba people.

Abolished? Ha typical Yoruba rewriting. Wetin man no go see from una? Did you even read the article? Your brother was begging for them to get rid of that practice and mind you that article was written in 2009. Knowing Africans, it takes centuries before a popular ritual gets "abolished".

Even the only recorded igbo cannabalism in 21 century had a yoruba sidekick.

Abomination. Only tribe in Nigeria still practicing yet again another backward, primitive ritual. Una backwardness knows no bounds.

Chai grin grin grin grin. The way people talk about what they don't know is really funny.

In igboland, the areas I have been to. I saw Good representation of northerners all over the area. Nobody cares that they are northerners, but I have seen few yoruba's selling their medicine. Igbo people transact business with them, they don't give a hoot about where they came from. Everybody is minding their business.

Please if you haven't been to anywhere in igboland before, don't come online and show your ignorance to the world.

Infact, I must say that the northerners enjoy much freedom in igboland than igbos enjoy in the north.

Does the oil belong to Igbo? No, it belongs to the south south. So, you have no claim on it. Yes the oba of lagos is drunk, but your empty and useless igwes in alaigbo can never reach where oba of lagos has reached or will reach in life. It is not a curse, it is reality. When next the omo onile ask for money, don't pay them, ok? And just see what will happen to you and the land you claim belong to you. OSU!!!

See your small mindedness? You assume I'm Igbo because I'm arguing in their favour so far.

So Oba of Lagos has reached everywhere on earth and if I don't pay your Yoruba Omo oniles, they will prevent me from building a house...


...yet 'Yorubas are accomodating.'

Congrats to Yorubas.

**grins** That reminds me of one Baba Osun that disturbs our ears with his advert on radio every morning in awka. The man has been selling herbals in eke awka market for years. There are many others like abeokuta woman and the rest all over the East with their loud speakers mounted on the scrap cars peddling herbals. **LOLS**

Now that's me being emotional.
In a different context, I know I shouldn't have to tell you that you're taking the bait, just like most folk currently are. Yoruba and igbo are just too intertwined for there to be any serious sectarian violence. All we can do is banter. It's funny, if you look at it really.

My sister, na so I shoooock when Tallesty1 write something. The guy been use one analogy about one Texas man wee den thief hin horse. I come dey reason say "even tallesty"? the hate don dey grow oh. . .

Topic, I have asked numerous persons and I am yet to get an answer: have you gone there to do something and you were chased out? Have you bought a land, built a house and it was taken from you? Have you ever tried to establish a source of livelihood there and were denied? In my hometown, a man I thought was Igbo when growing up was actually a Ghanaian. This guy has lived there for years, speaks our language, built his home, married an Igbo woman, did his business peacefully and also attended meetings that ensured the community is kept clean and the road smooth. So many other people also in other part of the SE. Why this unhealthy generalisation?

I understand the igbos, they are just trying to defend their tribe but you Igbos shd not live in self-denial it is true you guys are the least accommodating tribe in Nigeria. It is something you pple she be ashamed of and work on it. You barely find other tribes in the Igboland it's a fact from someone who has travelled to Anambra and Imo state. SS is more accommodating than you guys. For those saying igbos are not in other parts of SW am sure you are living in the SE go to Ota and see many igbo shops, go to Dugbe in Ibadan and see Igbo shops.
Am proud of your language. But may l remind you, that we the Igbos, demanded for Biafra, but Nigeria wanted us to stay by force, why?
Since we don't accommodate others?
