They were actually given a long notice. Everyone knows that it is very difficult to eject Ibos even in a residential house. Most times, they are moved out by force after the matter must have dragged for many years.

“Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get away with screwing people over your whole life, I don't care who you are. What goes around comes around. That's how it works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.” - Jessica Brody

In Lagos under 'One Nigeria' there seem to exist a silent economic war of destruction of livelihood, burning of markets in the middle of the night, extortion and harassment of genuine businesses by official area boys and street urchins, illegal/multiple taxing of business owners, in markets where Igbos operate e.g. Tejuoso, Alaba International and Ladipo. And now Oshodi electrical & electronic market.

Many of these attracious deeds are conducted at odd times when the traders won't be available to resist the dastardly acts.

Over the decades in the South-West, the Yorubas have systematically burnt Igbo shops as a guise to hijacking the markets from Igbos.

https://www.nairaland.com/2618835/hoodlums-shut-down-alaba-international

Prior to the 2015 general elections, amidst the threat by the lagoon crooner to drown Igbos, 18 Chisco transport buses were criminally burnt down in Lagos and up till date nothing was done to bring the culprits to book.

What does 'One Nigeria' mean?
A deceit where you are empowered to share my crude oil and wealth as 'One Nigeria' while I am considered a migrant to your State whom you're just merely accommodating and may perish in the lagoon at your command.

It is a chaotic situation where the Oba of a place would invite the representative of a people for discussion in his palace as regards a market leadership dispute only to set an ambush for him and unleash hundreds of thugs to flog and disgrace him.

It is an unjust situation where you're licensed to use foul means to destroy my business in your State with outrageous taxes. You can close my business premises at will while your elites continue to shout 'One Nigeria' to cover up the evils and injustices prevalent in the land. And you still expect me to be docile and continue to suffer silently as your hate and envy for my progress soar high.

Now, do you have any case for unity - fake or imaginary?

If you have there would no need fooling and playing to the gallery and shouting 'One Nigeria'. Or have you ever heard 'One Great Britain', 'One United States of America', 'One Germany'?
That shows that something is fundamentally wrong which many have been shying away from.

Is it a crime for any person/group to choose to opt out of a relationship?

Strange bedfellows, with irreconcilable value systems that are at best suitable for the individual selves, are not meant to be together! The 102 years of existence attest to that verdict!

Victor Hugo once said "no army can stop an idea whose time has come" and that "one can resist the invasion of armies but not the invasion of ideas". 
shut up there any small thing they go shout oil! Na ibo get oil?

Development comes with destruction. I always admire government who takes drastic steps to bring development. Development has never come from the people, rather is enforced on the people.

Then you donot understand the term development. Have you ever seen anything grow from the sky to the ground. Very typical Nigerian who buys cars without roads, builds houses without water orlight, buys jets without airways. Nonsense. Development of a nation starts with the mindset of its people. Development is the aggregate of a peoples state. America is America because of Americans not Obama, Clinton or Bush. Who makes government, is it not people.

We Nigerians are very difficult people to manage. Give them 10 years notice, they will still claim it is not enough.

Meanwhile, the government has made provision for them close by. Why have they not moved?
Because they are lawless n arrogant.
They should relocate to Biafra, them never see anything yet.. This is just the beginning! Insulting the owner of the land claiming Lagos belongs to them. Something that other tribes cannot try in Biafra land. Taking yoloba hospitality of allowing them to do thier business without any hindrance as stupidity.

Have you seen a motorist complain about the government blocking road during construction? I have seen. What you said is not totally wrong, neither mine. What I was trying to say is that development, in most cases, is like PEACE, it can be achieved by war. Abuja is what it is today because the development was forced on people. Now, we all are enjoying it. That kiosk owner would like to remain in that place instead of allowing the government to erect skyscraper. You are right because development is brought by people for the people.

If Ambode ever stop demolishing markets, then they will bury him in the market that day.



We have told them to set up business in the East and leave Lagos.

We should be reasonable in drawing conclusions. How will a Democratic government just wake up one day n just decides to sink d means of livelihood of d people that it's governing.

I look into the eyes of most Yoruba people like you and I see flaming hatred for the igbos it's unfortunate but one thing is sure my brother.... if u like destroy all the market in Lagos where d igbos operate their businesses U can't stop their progress. they're destined to be successful. if the civil war did not stop them from spreading abroad progressively and compete gallantly in all ramifications then I dant think destroying their business will stop them.
you have from time immemorial seen the igbos as traits nat because they are harmful but because you sure know you lack whatever it takes to compete with them.
it's been proven that over decades now your people suffer IGBOPHOBIA. Self inflicted envy and hatred for the igbos but one funny thing is... the igbos knows this but they no dey look your face... they keep soaring amidst your hostility. if they leave Lagos for you, u will never flourish because you are lazy, envious, backbite and arrogant. how would they even look your face when they know you even unleash these same evil habits upon your fellows how much more one from another tribe. These are success limiting factors and they are inherent in you, we all know that.

These are jast for your hate speech.


Well as for the market I sure know and believe Lagos state must have issued several communique to the effect of their relocation because I learnt a new market was built but negligence and nonchalance I believe ruled over them probably they were considering the effects of relocating to the new place. but then this time of the year is really a bad time to do this. my heart goes out to those who must have lost their life investments to this. it's nat easy but jast know that you are igbo WE NEVER SAY DIE WE MULTIPLY.

IF SOUTH AFRICA COULD NAT STOP THE IGBOS................

We have definately gone past this stage and will not be intimidated by acts of desperation by a man from Ondo now Lagos gov.

Wat is clear is that Nigeria is not one and will never be one.

If we are all tired of one Nigeria let us all disintegrate in peace instead of all this unnecesary Bru hahaha!


This is my advice to Ambode, unity should not be by force. If u dont like the Igbos, let them go in peace and form their own nation.

Say no to one Nigeria

You surely don't HV eyes to see the spirit realm.
I am from the water.
I also have air spirit and I must tell you that anything that will make Igbo's united economically will shake our kingdom.
Their star as a tribe is so bright that it blinds us.
They r a giant.
That righteous man sends giant angels to guard Nidigbo because of what they r destined to be.
We see the giant angels n get annoyed!

In the spirit realm it has been seen that in the period of waning of the religion of that righteous man up there, that the Igbo's, Ijaws, Itsekiris n Urhobos shall team up n work together n cause a shaking revival in Europe.

This though will be spearheaded by Nidigbo.


It is destined that there will be a major shaking that will make them go back home.
And so we cannot allow Igbo go home cos they will then become an economic giant.

From here they shall spring up n become so great that with their funds they will shake Europe with the message of that righteous man up there.

We must do everything to keep them scattered in other parts of this country so that they will loose focus n never achieve what has been purported for them.

This Lagos govt thingy will just push them further to their right destiny.

Mtschew.

Stupid Lagos govt.

Your head dey there. I know that place very well. There shouldn't be structures there because of vehicles coming/turning from the bridge. Best thing is to turn it to a garden/park... like those in Ojota.

Oyigbo LGA and Ogba-Ndoni-Egbema LGA are the two largest oil producing LGAs in Nigeria.

Both LGAs are Igbo LGAs in Rivers State, and it is a reality that must be a source of discomfort to Igbo haters.
To make matters worse for enemies of progress, Anambra state and Imo state have the largest gas reserves in Nigeria. Miserable haters like you can help yourself out with a dose of rat poison.

There are crude oil wells in Izombe and Egbema, both in Imo State, being operated by Addax/Chevron and Sterling global respectively for many decades now.

Obigbo and Egbema were added to Rivers state in the 1976 boundary adjustment. They were part of the old Imo State and East Central. Infact Dee Sam Mbakwe took then federal government to court to return back those territories to Imo state.

Nigeria's total gas deposit is 188 TCF and Anambra has more than 30 tcf -
