My dear, no side is totally right, but there is a boundary for decency; surely??

Was almost lauding ur comment till I saw wat followed. Everything, socially constructed is always based on bias. I am sure you knw some igbos are obnoxious,particularly the illiterates and this is evident in all ethnic groups. Wat she wrote was not of much surprise for me. Wat should she have written if not an article to defend her people, she is an artist, a literary writer and not a scientist for crying out loud. If she had said otherwise, I am sure this same u will lambast her for being withdrawn from her tribe because of the money she has made. The igbo gal in her won't let her be objective. And talking about Nigerian history, she actually has the achebe version which can be faulted by others. The igbos keeps crying they were killed during the biafran war. We're westerners not killed? Were northerners not killed in the east? Agreed, you guys had the most casualty but it was a war, it was meant to end with a winner and a vanquished. Ojukwu was not ready for the war even those that were close to him attested to that fact. Those that warned him insistently were killed on charges of attempted treason, so what is the cry about? Ojukwu had his faults while Gowon did had his, to even think of it Gowon is a northern Christian. Before the secession, minority groups in the south were asking for help from the federal government claiming they were not igbo. If I may even ask, why did Ojukwu surrender via effiong? If he was fighting a just cause, he should have fought it to the death and become a martyr. Sentimental comments are allowed but that wouldn't stop an igbo gal being my very close friends, she has her tribal faults and I do have mine. When I tell her unreceptive treatments I receive from igbos, she defends them and when it comes to Yoruba folks, I am not left out but that is not to say I am blind to crass attitude from both sides.

we re not going to do any check up when we knw the cause. We left the govt for you pple and rely on our businesses yet you guys re not satisfied because of" greed" yes that is exactly the problem. otherwise, tell me the crime only igbo man commits that other tribes re innocent of.

I have refrained from making partisan comments,despite many strong temptations from friends and family , because I enjoy being neutral and watching things from a distance for the first time in my life. I can however not ignore commenting on the controversy over the words of the Oba of Lagos,because Lagos occupies a special place in my ancestral history. The direct or veiled(depending on who's accessing the risk) threat of the Oba though regrettable,every student of history knows that people say offensive stuff during politics.The Oba will not be the first to get carried away by emotions to say what seems unfair to the ordinary mind. My plea to my Ibo brothers and friends is to ignore the Oba's indiscretion and focus rather on exercising their civic rights today according to their conscience.

I believe it is foolhardy to declare a war against the Oba of Lagos in the media and pro-Ibo micro communities. The average Yoruba man is too informed to dictate to other ethic groups how to vote,but I am sure he will take exception to his Oba and traditional institution being denigrated on the basis of transient political statements. Lagos is not doing Ibo traders a favor by providing them a conducive environment ,rather it is exemplifying the fact that Lagosian's are civil,informed and fair.

It is however insulting for any non-Lagosian to use the cosmopolitan outlook of Lagos or its old status as capital, as excuse to suggest that Lagos is a no man's land. All non-Lagosians including myself need to exercise mature discretion when we mouth our claim to Lagos and all the privileges it has got to offer. I grew up in a Lagos where the civil service was dominated by non-indigenes,but things changed when people got carried away and replaced humility with unbridled arrogance. Yoruba's who are non-Lagosians are even more guilty of poking Lagos indigenes in the eye.

I still recall my Father's account that some Yoruba's in Lagos Island out of deep respect named their Son's after Zik and voted massively for him above Awolowo in the early days of the NCNC. What Zik sought from Lagosian's in those days was unfettered acceptance as against BRASH EQUALITY.

I am however sure that my dear Lagos will regain its inclusive and warm aura after this highly divisive political season.

@ chidima's article.its nothing new.its still the same victim mentality packaged differently. Let's go back into the history Igbo love some much
1.Nzeogwu murdered the prime minister and president. The Igbo leaders were spared.
2.agunyi irons an Igbo was installed nzegwu was given paddy paddy justice.
3.igbos taunted hausas in kano wearing t shirts and even made songs at the coup.
All these led to anti Igbo feelings and then the declaration by ojukwu.
The murder of balewa was the catalyst for what could have been avoided.in all my years j have never had Igbo take responsibility for the first coup and own up that if neo wu hadn't killed the leaders all these wouldn't have happened. I belive prior to the barbaric act Igbo lived peacefully in northern Nigeria for decades and since that incident it hasn't been the same. No one cannot give the Igbo peace if they continually lie to themselves. Like they say the truth shall set you free.you guys choose to Iive in your warped reality of life.its your choice really.we cannot help you until you help u r self. .

u won't shutup and learn not to say wat u don't know, u won't tell d world dat d only reason y d coup in d East was not as bloody as d other regions was because of d presence of d pope back then in d East, u won't tell d world that Ironsi and Ojukwu were among the people who foiled d coup and put a stop to it, u won't tell d world dat d only reason y Ironsi took over was because he was d most senior officer as at dat time, he wasn't part of d coup, he didn't mastermind it, he just took over being d most senior officer, u won't tell d world dat there was a counter coup, in dz counter coup Ironsi was killed, d ppl from d counter coup went to prison, killed d 1st coup plotters dat was in detention as at that time,killed all of them, when they were done, they went up and started killing innocent people that was neither in d army, neither did they take part in d coup and d rest, ppl were being killed left right and centre and ojukwu was watching did u expect him to start doing fasting and prayers for d killings to stop? ..
After the then administration failed to stop d killings dat was ongoing and with the fear that after igbos living outside der region had been finished they wud come for them in d East, Ojukwu went to Aburi in Ghana and they signed and accord, after it was signed Gowon came back and he didn't implement it, d killings continued, wat did u want Ojukwu to do then?... I am kit in support of d civil war but stop spreading lies trying to rewrite history...

Delusional article meant to console the gullible.

Anybody can tell you anything or do anything to you. How you react is your choice and the reaction is more important than the action. Those that have reacted negatively to what the Oba said so far have put themselves in a position that nobody has put them or has intention of putting them.

Ymodulus:
I think I will start by trying to be Anthropomorphic, as it will bet express my heading.
Its really sad when insanity realizes that he has a mental disorder then he is as good as cured. The moment a people come to terms with their complex problem which often place them at loggerheads with their host communities the better for them.

I seem not to fathom how a tribe claim to have suffered humiliations and deprivation from other ethnic nationalities. This allegation should be consider very weighty even though it was not substantiated. Nonetheless, this aggrieved ethnic nationality needs to ask herself what is about it that could be responsible for the purported hostile acts of other ethnic nationalities toward it.

One problem I have with Chimanda is all her articles tends to quote Chinua Achebe, even when its evident chinua actions are wrong. The sane mistake she made, about his book "there was a country". Now she is trying to say that the Igbo's were murdered in early 1960's for political reasons? Who started the war? Was it the Nigerian Arny or The late Ojukwu ? I see Chimabda is biased. And she is just a staunt re-echoer of Chinua Achebe's belief.


I liked the fact that she related the massacre of the Ibos in different parts of the country before the civil war. However what I do like to ask her is this,

1. chimanda was there nothing that led to the massacre?

You can't deny that the tendency to dominate in another man's land which is being exhibited now by taking the Oba to court is what led to such. Tell me when you come back from court if the people of Lagos will still have a good relationship with the Ibos.


Chimanda while trying to play a neutral ground at the surface, is been biased deep down. I am sorry to say but if Chimanda spent her time writing this, she wasted that time. As this just further lowered NY respect for her as an internationally recognised writer. Novel is her thing not politics.

Just imagine how shez is spreading lies about 1960s massacre. Posterity Judge you.

The reason for d coup by Nzeogwu was to cleanse the politicians that jailed Chief Awolowo n release him to be the President of Nigeria becoz he believed he was the right person with the right vision. As per the time of the coup there was relative peace in the Eastern Region n Midwestern Regoon bt unrest in south west. There was operation "wetie" houses of oppositions were being touched .
( l dont know wot concerned him he should have left the situation like dat n let the regions dat were burning burn
I tink d story wuld ve been different by now) mind you Major Nzeogwu was a midwestner nt an SouthEasterner. Let it b if at my age im regarded as an immigrant that cant speak igbo as fluently as Yoruba. Let it be.

Better things are coming.

Now to the topic....
I think what binds many tribes in Nigeria is a common hatred for the Igbos. This hatred i believe is hinged on the purported dominance of Igbos. What is it about Igbo dominance? Here is what a fellow nairalander has to say...

Great point. Fear of Igbo domination as my father
would say is a sign of weakness on the part of
the fearer and lack of confidence in their ability. In
other words, for someone to dominate you in a
non physical way whether economically, socially, educationally, in any way, shape and form as long
as they are not holding you hostage physically
from succeeding but solely by intelligence in a
level playing field, then the conclusion is that
person or group of people are smarter than
you...this has been scientifically proven. So any tribe that fears Igbo domination are less smarter
than the Igbos otherwise compete with them. The
reason why Igbos do better in everything that
they do, which is often mistaken as domination is
because they are smarter than the rest of other
ethnic groups in Nigeria. When I mean "smarter" I
don't mean individually as a Hausa man can be
smarter than a yoruba, yoruba smarter than an
ijaw man an ijaw may be smarter than an Igbo,
e.t.c., however as a whole in terms of an ethnic
group, the Igbos lead the pack in Nigeria and
some tribes see it as a domination but actually it
isn't...they are just more smarter and have more
drive than others. Dr. Thomas Sowell detailed this
in his book and actually mentions Igbos as the
most successful ethnic group in Nigeria despite
the civil war set back.

If Nigeria wants to be truly great, we should not trifle with any tribe, especially the Igbos.

ControlX:
A few days ago, the Oba of Lagos threatened Igbo leaders. If they did not vote for his governorship candidate in Lagos, he said, they would be thrown into the lagoon. His entire speech was a flagrant performance of disregard. His words said, in effect: I think so little of you that I don’t have to cajole you but will just threaten you and, by the way, your safety in Lagos is not assured, it is negotiable.
There have been condemnations of the Oba’s words. Sadly, many of the condemnations from non-Igbo people have come with the ugly impatience of expressions like ‘move on,’ and ‘don’t be over-emotional’ and ‘calm down.’ These take away the power, even the sincerity, of the condemnations. It is highhanded and offensive to tell an aggrieved person how to feel, or how quickly to forgive, just as an apology becomes a non-apology when it comes with ‘now get over it.’
Other condemnations of the Oba’s words have been couched in dismissive or diminishing language such as ‘The Oba can’t really do anything, he isn’t actually going to kill anyone. He was joking. He was just being a loudmouth.’

Or – the basest yet – ‘we are all prejudiced.’ It is dishonest to respond to a specific act of prejudice by ignoring that act and instead stressing the generic and the general. It is similar to responding to a specific crime by saying ‘we are all capable of crime.’ Indeed we are. But responses such as these are diversionary tactics. They dismiss the specific act, diminish its importance, and ultimately aim at silencing the legitimate fears of people.

We are indeed all prejudiced, but that is not an appropriate response to an issue this serious. The Oba is not an ordinary citizen. He is a traditional ruler in a part of a country where traditional rulers command considerable influence – the reluctance on the part of many to directly chastise the Oba speaks to his power. The Oba’s words matter. He is not a singular voice; he represents traditional authority. The Oba’s words matter because they are enough to incite violence in a political setting already fraught with uncertainty. The Oba’s words matter even more in the event that Ambode loses the governorship election, because it would then be easy to scapegoat Igbo people and hold them punishable.

Nigerians who consider themselves enlightened might dismiss the Oba’s words as illogical. But the scapegoating of groups – which has a long history all over the world – has never been about logic. The Oba’s words matter because they bring worrying echoes of the early 1960s in Nigeria, when Igbo people were scapegoated for political reasons. Chinua Achebe, when he finally accepted that Lagos, the city he called home, was unsafe for him because he was Igbo, saw crowds at the motor park taunting Igbo people as they boarded buses: ‘Go, Igbo, go so that garri will be cheaper in Lagos!’
Of course Igbo people were not responsible for the cost of garri. But they were perceived as people who were responsible for a coup and who were ‘taking over’ and who, consequently, could be held responsible for everything bad.

Any group of people would understandably be troubled by a threat such as the Oba’s, but the Igbo, because of their history in Nigeria, have been particularly troubled. And it is a recent history. There are people alive today who were publicly attacked in cosmopolitan Lagos in the 1960s because they were Igbo. Even people who were merely light-skinned were at risk of violence in Lagos markets, because to be light-skinned was to be mistaken for Igbo.

Almost every Nigerian ethnic group has a grouse of some sort with the Nigerian state. The Nigerian state has, by turns, been violent, unfair, neglectful, of different parts of the country. Almost every ethnic group has derogatory stereotypes attached to it by other ethnic groups.

But it is disingenuous to suggest that the experience of every ethnic group has been the same. Anti-Igbo violence began under the British colonial government, with complex roots and manifestations. But the end result is a certain psychic difference in the relationship of Igbo people to the Nigerian state. To be Igbo in Nigeria is constantly to be suspect; your national patriotism is never taken as the norm, you are continually expected to prove it.

All groups are conditioned by their specific histories. Perhaps another ethnic group would have reacted with less concern to the Oba’s threat, because that ethnic group would not be conditioned by a history of being targets of violence, as the Igbo have been.

Many responses to the Oba’s threat have mentioned the ‘welcoming’ nature of Lagos, and have made comparisons between Lagos and southeastern towns like Onitsha. It is valid to debate the ethnic diversity of different parts of Nigeria, to compare, for example, Ibadan and Enugu, Ado-Ekiti and Aba, and to debate who moves where, and who feels comfortable living where and why that is. But it is odd to pretend that Lagos is like any other city in Nigeria. It is not. The political history of Lagos and its development as the first national capital set it apart. Lagos is Nigeria’s metropolis. There are ethnic Igbo people whose entire lives have been spent in Lagos, who have little or no ties to the southeast, who speak Yoruba better than Igbo. Should they, too, be reminded to be ‘grateful’ each time an election draws near?

No law-abiding Nigerian should be expected to show gratitude for living peacefully in any part of Nigeria. Landlords in Lagos should not, as still happens too often, be able to refuse to rent their property to Igbo people.

The Oba’s words were disturbing, but its context is even more disturbing:

The anti-Igbo rhetoric that has been part of the political discourse since the presidential election results. Accusatory and derogatory language – using words like ‘brainwashed,’ ‘tribalistic voting’ – has been used to describe President Jonathan’s overwhelming win in the southeast. All democracies have regions that vote in large numbers for one side, and even though parts of Northern Nigeria showed voting patterns similar to the Southeast, the opprobrium has been reserved for the Southeast.

But the rhetoric is about more than mere voting. It is really about citizenship. To be so entitled as to question the legitimacy of a people’s choice in a democratic election is not only a sign of disrespect but is also a questioning of the full citizenship of those people.

What does it mean to be a Nigerian citizen?
When Igbo people are urged to be ‘grateful’ for being in Lagos, do they somehow have less of a right as citizens to live where they live? Every Nigerian should be able to live in any part of Nigeria. The only expectation for a Nigerian citizen living in any part of Nigeria is to be law-abiding. Not to be ‘grateful.’ Not to be expected to pay back some sort of unspoken favour by toeing a particular political line. Nigerian citizens can vote for whomever they choose, and should never be expected to justify or apologize for their choice.
Only by feeling a collective sense of ownership of Nigeria can we start to forge a nation. A nation is an idea. Nigeria is still in progress. To make this a nation, we must collectively agree on what citizenship means: all Nigerians must matter equally.

For what reason? Did the army just started killing the Igbo's just like that?

Also sir I think we need to revisit the histories of 1960's. Why don't you get a copy of the book "Why we struck"

You are just a mis-informed little kid running his mouth whenever u see a topic abt Igbos.

Biafra declared independence and Nigeria launched attack to reclaim the territory. Even the Biafran attack to capture Lagos was the personal project of a yoruba officer Victor Banjo. If you bothered to read wide you wouldnt be coming up with baseless arguments.

Am from south east, To be sincere if a south east king says what oba of lagos said to easterner in lagos to yorubas in the south east , such king will be forced to resign from his throne. In igboland , we respect our king but we don't fear him. He must earn the respect of the pple . I can't imagine Obi of onitsha making such statement , he won't try that if he like his throne
