theAtheist101:


Well, I see you lack the main concept of power. Has Jonathan ever apologised for any of his misdeeds, Or Obasanjo?

And has anyone hurt anybody for his statement?

I still stand on my point that Igbos should wise up. Taking things personal never helps anyone or tribe in politics.

Threatening a group of people in such manner is abuse of his authority.

Being such a disgrace to normal traditional rulers doesn't earn him a trophy but condemnation even from some of his right minded kinsmen..

He don't have to apologise because his reputation is anyway already damaged and Igbos will always live and thrive in Lagos and nothing will happen.

History has shown Igbos are not pushovers and mere comment from a disgruntled Oba is nothing new.

Action speak louder than words.

LordExecutioner:


hardworking in illegal businesses and crime. work smart and be legal for a better lagos, and stop chest beating bleating everywhere like a goat.

can 90% of ibo businesses in Lagos thrive if there's law and order? NO.

why do ibos cause trouble everywhere? ghana, kenya, south africa, burundi, malaysia, india, china etc.? Why is it just ibos everywhere, if i may ask?

The love for the gr8 Igbos is the begening of wisdom. Read ur bible very well （・∀・）

Billyonaire:
When Igbos declared their desire to have their country of Biafra, the Yorubas and the Northerners jointly killed Igbos forcing them to remain in 'One Nigeria'. Now that war was declared 'No vanquished, No Victor', and the Igbo people have decided to live in the forced 'One Nigeria'; And the Yorubas again have started to call Igbo people immigrant in the 'One Nigeria'.

If the Yoruba people truly do not believe in 'One Nigeria'; They should all move a motion in the National Assembly declaring Igbos as unwanted in Lagos, so we the people of Niger Delta can hold a referendum and declare our sovereign nation.

Igbo people should continue in their enterprise. Jealousy is the cause of these hate-syndrome.

You see. Stealing is in your blood. Now you are now people of Niger Delta.

Try and move an inche close to Rivers, Edo, Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa Ibom because of oil. They will so deal with your criminal sense.

Why do you keep to your eroded red soil?

Perceptor:

lemme adress d issues one by each. You igbos ar the pompous and egoistic ones, pple frm various tribes av confirmed that.
Lagos was made the capital because it had all the potential to be the center of excellence in nigeria. such potential av neva been found in any igbo land even in modern days.
Igbos ar not d only non indigenous tribe in lagos, hausas ar there in large numbers but they respect d privilege they enjoy unlike igbos. Igbo always av tendences of treason whereever they ar given opportunity to strive and that is why the hausas hate you to hell.

Hausas hate us to hell, and you love us to heaven, right?
Aww, we love us too :X (no homo lol)

CHM11:

Thanks for talking without insults even though I didn't speak well of SOME igbos in my first paragraph.

I am from Delta state and I am very happy Biafra was not allowed to stand.
If Ojukwu had carried the lands under imo, abia, anambra, enugu and ebonyi to go and form Biafra, I'm sure nobody would have worried about the igbos. But you guys wanted to take the entire Niger Delta with its oil to make your Biafra. Thank God it didn't hold because you guys would have slaved us even more than what we face now.

It was about the Niger Delta. Nigeria and the Niger Deltans will not allow you guys to take the south south to form your country...and so far the SS remains in Nigeria, you cannot have your Biafra enclosed in Nigeria.

If you guys really want to be left on your own, all of you should go back home, stay in the east and develop the east.

If you want to be synchronised with others, respect their Local and ethnic authorities. You cannot insult me in my house and when I act back, you play the victim!!!..


BIAFRA BIAFRA BIAFRA....abeg let us hear word....for your biafra without any state in the Niger Delta and see if anybody will even notice your absence.

I do not know where this fear of enslavement is coming from; honestly do not know the details of the civil war as whether the Igbos were after the soul of the SS; but what is clear is that country called Bigeria is a sham sustained by some regions to exploit other regions in a parasitic dependence

If not for the daeth of yaradua nobody from the south south would experience the presidency; was the surname of jonathan an Aremu or Adamu he would stil the president elect

What you should be asking yourself is that who made this country one? How similar are the regions to agrre to work together? Can anyone fee at home in any part of the country unless he is from there?
We speak of a federation yet are scared to practice it; if Benin rep that is hadly half of Ino state can be a country why can't an entire 5 states with over 40 million peopel not be Country and determine its future

Perhaps the south south have a servant mentality; where the hausas or fulanis or yorubas, who claim sophistication and all are the ones with the oil wells do you think you will be allowed to see a drop or you will be one Nigeria with them?

Like it or not, igbos are being admired for their ingenuity, industry and intelligence by many; infact just yesterday I was with one of my retailers for new products and the yoruba man there was just praising the igbos that they like being hardworking and all

Is it in marraiges or family life, igbos show greater commitment; fact is it is useless demonsising a tribe for no reason

Just yesterday your kinsman, who one the federal house of rep in Festac area was almost assasinated because he won that fed contituency? Are we not suppose to be free in this country again

If the south south takes there oil today; igbos will survive it because of their natural enterprenueral spirit

Igbos are already making their own carrs and exporting shoes to west africa amogst other expolits both localy and globally

My poit has been rather than speak ill of ourselves let us rally round and discuss terms of staying together

Let it all stary with resource control and see if the hausa and the yorulbas will be happy

Igbos are about their business and making strides wherever they find themselves; just licke the hausaa we don't take threat.s lightly

Every tribe has their selling point; igbos know theirs and we live it out and have no apologies for excelling in whatever we do

Chukwugekwu:
I have not commented on this issue since it began but I think this article has forced me to write.I want to say that whatever group that write this stupid and foolish article shows how senseless some people can be. who ever wrote this article is a first class fool and ur Oba or wat ever u guys call him is a fool that is not supposed to exist in this age. he show how backward and uncivilized he is.that Oba is not even worth to be an Oba let alone not to be insulted. some people are very stupid by saying that we are supposed to show him respect when he did not show respect the whole Igbo nation. the man should resign if u think u place so much value in ur culture cus he is not fit to be an adult let alone a kind. thank u all and have a nice time.Oba akiolu is an idiott...
..
Oba is a clueless lazy animal

I don't even know who the Oba is , is he influential, has he enhanced job creations or helped in anyway apart from being entitled to God knows whatever, as far as am concerned he doesn't speak for the Yoruba nation or even the Lagos people.

nzeadachie:
YOU HATE IGBOS WHILE THE CLOTHES YOU WEARS RIGHT NOW TOGETHER WITH THE PHONE YOU'RE USING TO TYPE THE NONSENSE ARE IMPORTED BY IGBO MAN, MUGU

na your generation be mugu there is nothing Igbo people knows about business that yoruba did not know,you dis stupi.d idi.ot we have an indepth knowledge about importations we even have an upper hand in bargaining with foreigners because we gat manner unlike stupi.d igbos

It does make a whole lot of changes my dear......what it means actually is that your Oba is a bastard

Doncolio:


Voting Agbaje does nothing to change that statement, rather it goes to show the Yoruba man you prefer.

fosidewok:


This singarly ownership of Lagos they are pushing will wipe them out of this world.

IGBOS COME OUT AND VOTE YOUR BROTHER JIMI TODAY OOO.

LET THAT WAR YOU WANT START.

It is because u stand to gain nothing! Let it burn as far as u'r concern. Am a moderate yoruba but I can't just ignore ur lastest onslaught against Yoruba nation state. Jeeez, why am I sounding lyk this, I ave enjoy robust relationship with my Ibo peeps but I can just ignore this. Sorry folks, nothing personal. I hoPe we pick up where we started after this died down.

pcguru1:
LOL I'm just laughing Jimi Agbaje is really brilliant, Playing the tribe card, really am Youruba, But Tribe means nothing to me what's so funny is that the so called JK is actually capitalizing on the igbo's hatred for the Oba's statement to gain votes by causing or playing the tribe card, Igbos feel the need to show the Oba a lesson.

Am not against anyone voting Jk after all it's election you're free to exercise your right. But am just here to tell you that when you are voting remember , you are voting for own benefit and not out of spite. Think about it if Lagos can service itself without Federal help all these years, isn't it a good opportunity to finally have a party that aligns with the Federal level, I am assuming this is the opportunity to finally have alot of Projects take off, I don't really see the PDP really doing anything, just going by their statements they intend to undo everything APC has setup. Am only laughing because it's funny to something so trivial discussed here, who cares Igbo,Yoruba,Hausa,Aliens you all know this is only meant to harvest votes. Politicians don't give a Bleep about anybody. Have fun though you are voting for the next 4 years of your life.

Thank you for your contribution. That's my thought exactly. Igbo should not vote for jimi because of the oba's words. Does he deserve it, is he able to take Lagos to the next level? Also,the oba is a relation of jimi; I'm not sure if he did this to help his cause or just plain ignorant

My take:

Whoever owns the land, owns the place. Yoruba owned Lagos even though the place was developed with the collective fund from the Nigerian state.

Then Yoruba decided to sell Lagos to the highest bidder. Igbo people came over and bought up Lagos. At no point in history did Lagosians or the self-acclaimed Oba give out lands for free to Igbo people. The lands were all bought and continue to be bought. One cannot eat his cake and have it. Lagos was their birthright and they sold it. No need of crying over spilled milk. They spent all the money earned on perishable items and now look back to wish there are ways to get back the lands. Well...too late!

If plots of lands are available at Aba and an Hausa or Yoruba person wants to buy it, it will be sold to him without hesitation. But such investments are not there interests. Besides, they most probably will be outbid.

As the case is now, Lagos is sold and gone. Yoruba people should deal with it or they may elect to stop their people from selling the remaining lands to Igbo people. The problem there is that the offers are too enticing to avoid. And the ones thinking there are going to be cases of abandoned property again, dream on.
If there is war today in Lagos, who can afford the weapons more on individual levels? Your guess is as good as mine. 2015 is not 1967. Take it or leave it.

When it comes to business, there's no such thing as tribe, I have to admit we need the igbos in Lagos, Take Computer Village for example you think Lagos Government doesn't enjoy tax from them. keep playing the tribe card while businessmen advance.

Thank you my brother that's why people don't understand its our lively hood that's at stake, I have tried to see something good about Agbaje but i can't find anything the only thing i know is that the people behind him are nothing but rogues not that APC is any better but with PDP I don't see them taking Lagos to the next level.

I just want igbos to develop their land. I am very shocked as one, at the hesitation to do so.

Please see my new topic and contribute your opinion. I will appreciate it.

this Igbo disruption in Lagos will surely land them in the lagoon if they are not careful. if it is in own land, your I we will say more than that, if u like fly go sky, it is ambode all the way. if u are not satisfy go back to your state. ewu

holatin:
and you call yourself a Yoruba, am not sorry to say this you are a disgrace to Yoruba as a whole, no rightful born Yoruba will talk like you.

Because of PDP gave u aphone to browse, you are now tarnishing your tribe just to please them.

Seconded.... Omo ale ja ti ja ti.

If Awolowo had not committed suicide by drinking rat poison, he would have scolded you never to make such arrogant statement again.
War is not media propaganda ooo. When it starts to rain, then will you realize how empty the Yoruba nation is. I have spoken!

omokab:
Well said. If a visitor is becoming too arrogant to the person that accommodate him,definitely he will be shown his way back to where he's coming from. I don't know how a visitor will be claming too know of another's property. The best thing is to throw them out of Lagos let them go back to their land and develop their place. At the same time I can't blame them is useless PDP that want power by all means I will blame. They are the one giving them too much popularity and they will later regret it.Is it possible for any other tribe to do all this nonsense in their state?Bunch of ingrate.Lagos give you opportunity to be part of their government by appointing you commissioners,hon and other benefits but you can't think to appreciate rather to be ungrateful.Like I used to tell your ibo fellows that yorubas don't like problem but if you put us to the wall you will see hell more than what Oba Akiolu said.In term of everything in the country and around the world we senior you.Education,population,money,international connection etc we are not your mate.If it leads to war honestly speaking you will go down in history.just a little word for you!

It's what I keep telling us.

Brother this thing tire me o. I no lie. We really should retrace our steps. Our beloved east is there. Nobody will develop it for us. Its up to us. Folks are looking for greener pasture elsewhere. Are the pastures in the east blue? Even if it were, its up to us to make it green. I don't doubt for one second that we have the capacity to achieve that, if only we can look inwards.

I believe things will change, sooner than later, with or without our consent. Brothers, make we think twice.

let the dreamer keep dreaming we are in a capitalist world you are all dreaming if you think Lagos belongs to a tribe keep sleeping, in Las Gidi its all about the money Tinubu won't waste time dealing with an Igbo person if he knew it would lead to money, even the APC team check their celebrity ads and count the non-yorubas there. Lagos is a business town its all the money baby.

Emdeejay:
This tribal rift has to stop. The words of the Oba was total nonsense and he needs to apologize to the ibo residents of Lagos state. You should never make anyone feel unsafe especially if you're public figure whose words has heavier weight than the common citizen. That being said, the manner at which the leaders of ibos addressed the issue by calling the oba names was also wrong. They should maybe have taken the higher road like jega did to orubebe. Two wrongs don't make a right. To my fellow constituents, neither Yoruba nor bio needs to be grateful to each other. The Igbo man came to Lagos for greener pasture, while Lagos benefited from the business oriented igbos. No one is ungrateful, both benefited from this synergistic relationship. When the word of the oba first hit the net, a lot of the Yoruba condemned it and agreed that the statement was indeed foolish but many became defensive when the Igbo brethren began to call Yoruba, betrayer. Some even quote history and states that Yorubas had always been betrayer while igbos had always thought they were superior. Were you present during these period in nigeria? If not, please refrain from talking about it. Account of an event would be different depending on who is telling the story and on what side you're standing. One thing that I hope we should all agree on is that we hope that particular history does not repeat itself because the people that would suffer its consequences are the civilians and not the leaders of the people that started the dispute. Another notion that I saw was the fact that Lagos belongs to the Yorubas. Yes and no. The first settlers of Lagos were Yoruba, therefore it was claimed as part of their territory, which was the same thing that happened throughout nigeria. But it became available to other tribes as well when it became the capital. The problem of Lagos ownership is as a result of a failed nigeria. In the USA, a Maryland resident cannot vote in Virginia governorship race. After living in a particular state for a while you can choose to change your state residency. So a new Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa man in Lagos should not be able to vote for any governor. You haven't contributed much to the society to have a say.
Anyway, I hope this would stop as I have Yoruba and Igbo friends. God bless Nigerians

Not all Yorubas condemned the Oba... and some went further to call Igbos names.

What most Igbos said was that they were now going to vote for Jimi; if you saw the Oba being called names, that might have been later than I saw anyways. however, the truth is, that you can't intimidate an Igbo man just like that; if he retorts back to you "mba a na-abara agu" ... if pretty much saying that you can not shoo away a lion the way you shoo away a chicken or we often say "Hua" to the hawk to drop the little chick it swooped down on...

before i digress... and in conclusion, Igbos are peace loving. We mean noharm. We don't steal land, we buy the land with the weat off our borws.... so when you hear Igbos saying its no man's land etc... its not that they do not know who the first migrants to Lagos were, but I am sure o f this - it has always been in response to an act, whether perceived or actual, of aggression towards them.

You will not be minding your business in Lagos and out of no where an Igbo will come and be yelling in your face that lagos is no man's land. We have better things to do. Isnt time, money?

My Guy ignore what you read here, these are just kids ranting in the business world no gives a Bleep about tribe, even these days states are being developed by either foreigners and outsiders it has nothing to do with re-tracing steps, is it not the Chinese and the Italians making our buildings is it the Yorubas ? In business you partner with anyone to get the goals achieved. anyone debating on tribe is on a long thing my brother. you want to know the funny thing after today everything would be back to normal. You think if Tinubu runs a company , he would only employ yorubas ? he would employ the best heads, there's no entitlement in Lagos anymore its about what you can offer.

But what act can you point to that his ancestor did or said to prove your claim? are you sure you are not the same as your oba?

And let me say this before I move on to something better... the Oba didn't sound hostile to me, but his word portrays his heart and shouldn't an Oba be neutral politically? or at least "pretend" to be?

Are you from Lagos? I know little to nothing about her politics, therefore I can't say who is better. If a lagosian says the other guy is better, then I will have to believe you. Yes approximately all political parties are the same thing, they only get their money from different sources. I just wish people would take a step back to see what's good for them. After the election, who will remember you?

LAGOS IS SOLD AND GONE!!!

YORUBA PEOPLE SHOULD BLAME THE OMONILES!!!

IF THEY PUT UP.THE OBA'S PLACE FOR SALE TODAY, GUESS WHO WILL BUY IT?

LESSON: IN THE NEXT LIFE, STOP SELLING YOUR LANDS AND PROPERTY. IT IS THE SAME AS SELLING YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.

If you noticed, the remaining parts of Lagos are now being bought up by the Arabs and Chinese because they understand the game. At this rate, 50 years or less from today, Yoruba people will be tenants in the fatherland. You are crying and sulking about Igbo people now, then you will be moaning about Arab/Chinese invasion. And Mr. Akiolu will be dead and gone.

Why fought against the Igbos during Biafran war......4ucktards!!! Una neva see anything yet.....we wanted to hv our own country, but the tribe wt scarface slavebacked the useless H/Fulani's to put an end to that. Ndi ara!!!
