Am just curious do Yorubas have a presence in Igbo states? Have toured the east and it's hard seeing Yorubas owning properties or being relevant in their societies like the opportuinities given to them in Yoruba states and I wonder WHY? Truely is it ONE NIGERIA?

oga shut up, did anybody stop yorubas from owning properties in Igbo land? Please don't blame anybody for your laziness.

That is not being disrespectful. If anyone talk to me like that, threaten me and wish death upon me, you don't expect me not to react. His utterances were uncalled for. Those men went for peace, they did not get that.

Oba is not God, while making those threats, something beyond him might happen to him. Those whom he was threatening might be the ones to save him.

go to his palace and tell him nau...I can assure you, na you go first enter that lagoon, and no fuckiing policia can do nathing...nathing...that is monarchy for you...Even if the queen of england talk am, na so you go swallow am.

I remember an incident will a northern ethnic leader who was shoved aside will crossing an highway in Niger state. The township folks mobilised some cars and chased after the driver of the car. When they caught them, it was an intended instant death penalty...Nobody could save those people. but they were shown mercy, after blue black beating

Exactly. I saw that video. He "swore". A king's word carry weight and that is why it's generating lots of interest. How it affects the outcome of the elections, time will tell...

RUBBISH!!!!! arrant nonsense!!!!
These Yoruba ppl are so selfish and pompous!

If not that Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria, It would have been a local minor state like every other state in this country!!
This discrimination towards Igbo people by yorubas is getting out of hand!
for starters, why on earth should that useless oba threaten igbos in Lagos?? Are we not free to vote whoever we want?? That oba and his supporters are sent to destroy the peace of this country!

What I really wanna understand is what exactly did Igbo ppl do to this man
This inhumane discrimination has been going on for a long time! As long as u are a citizen of Nigeria, u have every right to settle down wherever u want in Nigeria.

we don't discriminate against any tribe in igboland, so why should they? In case they didn't know, igbos also took part in developing Lagos. Igbos are the most hardworking ppl in Nigeria(and I'm not saying that bkus I'm Igbo, its the fvcking truth. just like everybody knows Yorubas like education and parties)

for Pete's sake, we are the same ppl, human beings. just like someone said, tribes are just created to give power, it doesn't differentiate u from others.

#peace!

What do you call someone who has her pictures and info floating around public social media and calling the Oba of Lagos useless? A fool . I pity you. By the time they concoct a strong voodoo on that your ok-face-but-tiny-boobs-flat-ass thin body, you will cultivate sense by force . Even God will ignore you in your predicament because he didn't send you to go and be insulting the king, and not just any king, but the Oba of Lagos that all the known and unknown hierarchy of witches, wizards, sorcerers and pagan adherents in the land proudly call their king, are loyal to, serve and will do anything for. You claim Yorubas are discriminating against ibos, yet, arguably, practically every ibo man's dream is to live in Lagos, which is and always will be a Yoruba land. If they were so discriminating, then the numbers of ibos in their lands shouldn't be so much. But the opposite is the case, so by logic alone, your claim is false. Heck probably half the population of the ibo tribe are already in Yoruba land, half of the remaining half are in Hausa land, and that leaves the remaining halved half in ibo land and neighboring territories, of which 60% of them are already strategizing to move to Yoruba and Hausa lands to join their brethren. You know what the problem is: hate. The average ibo person has deep hatred for other tribes, because they were the predominant casualties of the Nigerian civil war, which of course is another debate as to what was the cause. Somehow, ibo parents of old have programmed their children to have unjustifiable hate for other tribes and it just never ends does it? The only set of ibos who don't have such hate in them usually are those who were born and raised outside of ibo land and among the other tribes that their people hate so much. From what you just wrote, i can infer you're in your early twenties and obviously do not know much about history as yet or maybe you were taught from a skewed perspective. Lagos was already a thriving and incredibly productive state before it became the federal capital. Becoming the federal capital was only befitting for it. Same thing about those claiming that ibo came to develop lagos. That's erroneous, Yoruba already developed their state, and of course development is a progressive thing, and it will and is meant to continue to get better, and for the records, 95% of ibos that migrated to Lagos didn't bring money to lagos, rather they came to make money from an already commercially and economically thriving Lagos. Except for maybe importation of fake drugs and other fake items, most of the trade businesses ibos are doing today in Lagos, were once businesses predominantly run by Yoruba traders. Once they took them in, over time, the ibos hijacked the businesses usually by hook or crook, and took over. And that's the problem with ibos, anywhere you go, you just want to take over other people's things, and it's not just in Yoruba land such behavior is exhibited. Even in foreign countries. You guys behave like Arab muslims, who wherever they go, once their population starts to become significant, wants to impose Islam and their own culture on the hosts, and albeit takeover their lands and territory. All of a sudden, after accommodating your kind for many years, Lagos is no-man's land, just imagine the insult. Yet, even this is not enough, some ibos still go further to assert that they will take over Lagos and drive the Yoruba's out, OMG what a joke . It is very clear that some people didn't learn from the past civil war. God forbid, but imagine a scenario where there's a tribal war, the question is who loses? Well, the way i see it, ibos have businesses and properties probably worth hundreds of billions of naira, not to mention that probably half their population (the greatest of ibo assets) is in Yoruba land. Yorubas, on the other hand, probably have businesses and assets in ibo land worth several millions and a population that is quite insignificant in relative terms. So imagine if there's war, i'm sure the ibos will have to search and search before they can find one yoruba man to kill, a yoruba house to burn, a yoruba girl to r.ape, and the other terrible acts that are unfortunately inseparable from war. But ibos aren't hard to find in yoruba land, heck they are everywhere like houseflies; same thing with ibo properties and businesses. Now tell me, by the time the war starts in Yoruba land, the economic, material and human loss to the ibos will be sadly unquantifiable. Do you know how many criminal die-hard elements within the yoruba kingdom are praying for this scenario to happen, just so they actualize their dream to recover lands, businesses, and what have you that they believe is theirs and their fathers betrayed the yoruba land for trading it to the ibos? Do you think organizations like OPC exist for decoration? Do you think the palaces are happy that the ibos are beginning to have a voice, albeit a very arrogant one, within their territories? You guys just don't see beyond your nose. Keep playing the script and fan the flames of tribal war till the fire burns out of control and let's see who will lose out in the end. I'm pretty much guessing the amount of time spent before you can find one yoruba man in the whole of Onitsha, you would have found 1000 ibos in Idumota alone. MASSOB warriors will probably have to convert the hausas to yorubas to make up for the victims they want to attack . The Oba of Lagos said what he said, people who have the capacity to rebuke him have done so, what is you people's headache again? The thing is ibos hate yorubas and will always jump at whatever opportunity they have to show it, and the issue of the Oba's statement is just what they see as an opportunity to express the inner hatred in their hearts, so ibos just won't let the chance pass. For the record, i've been with many tribes in Nigeria and the ibos are the most discriminating, the most unaccommodating, they always keep other tribes apart from them, and always endlessly talk shiiit about other tribes, never seeing anything good about them because they are blinded by their hate, and this hate has been and still is the greatest obstacle to their progress as a people. Of course there are exceptions and they are mostly the ibos born and bred outside of ibo lands and were not nurtured to hate other tribes just because they aren't ibos like them. Like i said before, the ibos are just very similar in character to the arab muslims. Whenever you see ibos among other tribes, they collectively hate on those other tribes; but when there are no other tribes around to hate on, then they hate on themselves, which is what you see happening in the south east. Same thing the arab muslims, when they are among other religions, they collectively hate on those other religions but when there are no other religions to hate on, they hate on themselves. Just look at certain arab-muslim countries of the middle-east, after killing people of other religions and there are none left to kill, they have since being killing themselves. As for the ibos who think they can take over any land in yoruba territory, keep on dreaming . As far as the Lagos State elections go, Ambode will win with or without the votes of the ibos, and this is politics, there will surely be economic rewards or consequences either way for the ibos by the government who carries the day. Everyone is free to vote whoever they want. Allegedly, the Oba of Lagos said people who don't vote Ambode will have a lagoon experience in 7 days , since ibos claim the oba isn't God and rightly so he isn't God and can never be God , then why not just dismiss such a statement as a an impossible joke, why all the fear, hatred and endless tirade against the yoruba people again ? Oh btw, i have no tribe. I am simply a patriotic Nigerian

NB: i have no bias or hate towards the ibo people. For the records, overall ibos are industrious, resilient, funny and possess other admirable qualities; however, the hate is the problem and it has to stop now.

All these jealous from my ofe mmanu brothers sef. Igbos success is uncontrollable,our enterpreneurship immesurable,.._u guys should be aware of these by now. Hating us will not make us to be less of what God has already bless us with. We are the one that developed that una so called Lagos. Economy of Lagos is boosted by the Igbos. As far as am concern,Lagos is no longer a Yoruba state. The more you hate someone,the more he progresses. We are already making money from what una Oba Akiolu said by designing some T-shirts with the catch word "I want to die in Lagoon". Is it that genuis?

LordExecutioner:


bros, the argument didn't start with the oba, it just took it to the crescendo. ibos have been taunting yorubas, especially for a very long time, claiming it's no man's land and they built it.

how did you build it with ur illegal businesses and substandard goods, you don't pay taxes for?

i have lived in canada, US, and UK, and the overwhelming majority of nigerian owned businesses there are owned by yorubas without taunting anyone. so if ibos are that creative, why can't replicate what they make noise about in nigeria outside the country in organised societies where there is law and order? they can't becos they are only masters of illegal activities and crime, with chest beating.

truth be told, a lot of educated yorubas who were raised in old lagos before ibo refugees came to the city don't like what ibos turned that city to. if they had their way, they will chase all ibos out. we want a civilised lagos and ibos will forever be immigrants in lagos. tell your family and ur children.

enough of ibo disdruption.

Substandard goods? Even wen u have options? Abi u don't know whr dey sell Original products?...I thank my pple for creating a chinish environment in Nigeria,wen America and other developed country thought they will kill us with high price....Bros talk truth,because u travel out,have yu ever bought a T.shirt of 9k cos it is original?

All i see is jealousy from those set of dirty,smelling and cowards called yoruba tribe. That's why i prefer hausa man to a yoruba man,cux hausa man will make undstnd dat he is angry wit u, but an average yoruba man is a saboteur n a coward

Who is Mr Akiolu that he can not be criticised especially with that silly threats which you patronising dishonest bunch are calling jokes?

This man is oba to Lagosians, he is not the oba of Nigeria.

Obj was made fun of, caricatured and compared to apes, he laughed it off. Jonathan and his wife were abused, swore at and called as sorts of names ranging from..clueless to illiterate but heaven did not fall.

Both Obj and GEJ were president to nearly 200m citizens of Nigeria with different obas, Ezes, Emirs and other Chiefs. Heaven didn't fall when these men were turned to comic reliefs even when they haven't done anything to warrants the insults.

Can you compare your oba of Lagos to these men? This man had contributed to the reason why some police men wear flip flop on duty, torn uniform, faded shirts and rusty weapons, if he wasn't oba today, what would he be doing?

Why couldnt he act like a wise elder and control his emotions and utterances. You people respond as if there was a sort of coup de tat or conspiracy to dethrone him.

Who is oba of Lagos that people should keep quiet when he says nonsense?you threaten people with death and guys are calling it jokes? Some phhools are talking about burning properties , looting and killing as if that would solve the problem.

Why don't you people leave the Igbos alone and face your problems. Anybody looking for a fight should go to Kwara state and put an everlasting end to the incessant rampages of fulani herdsmen.

Why don't you go to Kano and say all this at least your people plenty for dia now.

now i knw the reason some pple read buh still fail,,,i believe in the statements above, it was stated that the king actually employed a very strong yoruba metaphor which little or no nonyoruba can understand...no discrimination, no humiliation,,,just knw that we yorubas really give much respect to our Kings regardless of anything he does though i dont knw the relationship of u guys with ur Obas...the fact here is that we yorubas cant condone u guyz non respect behaviour attitude to our KING dats all....

creativity is about originality, when you start cloning illegally, you are committing a crime. and that's what Igbos are good for, illegal and criminal activities.

till i see Igbos thrive in businesses in civilised countries like their yoruba counterparts, they will always be criminals.

let us tell ourselves the truth, Igbos are born criminals.

ozodigboo:

Which gory event ?
Now lemme get this clear.
After Awolowo chickened out of supporting Igbo against Hausa in 1966, we decided to go it alone.
We faced the REST OF NIGERIA for over 3 years.
It was towards d end of the war, that a certain yoruba officer, whose surname ends with '' njo''. Came onto the scene. To take glory.
That was in 1966, when
our illiterate fathers and grandfathers manufactured the OGBUNIGWE with raw materials.
This is 2015.
Trust me, if anyshit happens, The Igbos willl wipe Lagos off the map, and go back to the East.

Very senseless construction from a typical ibo man..

I'm an Igbo girl, I am a lagosian because I'm born in lagos . and I've been there for many yrs many yorubas here are not lagosians that u are a Yoruba person does not make u a lagosian. you can be a lagosian by birth and naturalization. you guys go to London to be citizens there. talkless of your country.

FYI I'M not an IMMIGRANT IN LAGOS I was born and brought up here and very successful....I understand how u feel and your pain but spreading the hate won't change anything ...lagos is a home for all,the pride and the no 1 city in africa....it belongs to the yourubas no doubt about that...but its also a city like NY, Cairo, Lisbon....etc nd most of all a nigerian state.
You have no right to call a nigerian an immigrant in his country
we all own nigeria!

REALODUA:
what are you importing that makes u proud ? Junk and discarded electronics or the hard drugs you exported world over, go to Asia and see thousand of Igbo on death penalty for drugs. You think okrika, okada , and used electronics are good for and economy, no. They don't encourage manufacturing. If there are no junk importer like Igbo , who knows we would have had a made in Nigeria electronics

I SAID THAT YOU SHOULD STOP BUYING THEM, IS IT BY FORCE TO BUY THEM? LAZY ANIMALS WITH BRAINLESS OBA

These are faceless people who do not speak for Yoruba people but their own selfish interest.
Who is the person that made the statement and who exactly are their so called intellectuals. Disrespect for "host" means voting in the patttern the so called host chooses ?
This is racism masqueraded as ethnic nationalism. All well meaning people of yoruba roots and extraction will not have any qualms in summarily condemning and rejecting this crass statement clearly attempted to heat up the polity
