Igbo lawmaker making laws for yorubas

Limitless72:
So they are now using the IGBOs resources circulation in every nook and cranny of the nation as an excuse to forestall their intentions....

Michael004:
Because we are not tribalist and sadist. So we don't care whether he's igbo or Hausa. That is why we are the greatest in this country.

giftq:

Very good. This is why we need an Igbo governor of Lagos asap

femolii:
And we still want yoruba man as governor of abia state too.

DesChyko:

You're just deceiving yourself. It's because the constituency he represents is populated by his brothers jare.
Three years down the line and you're already feigning memory loss.

Europeans hated each other too. They destroyed each other's principalities on a regular basis and fought proxy wars all over the world. Today they form one of the biggest and most successful unions comprised of 27 nations with very different languages, cultures and histories. It is a success story, from bloody history to economic prosperity.

Dialogue is strenuous and requires time and patience but it is a constructive process.

''your children are born in lagos and dont know their their state of origin, they speak yoruba and english." and you are not ashamed of saying it if really you are an igbo man.

Somebody should tell him that Scotland was part of Britain for over 300 years but had referendum on independence in 2014.

But he is talking about Nigeria thst was created just the other day in 1914

But let us be honest, the reason why you or others want them to stay is not because you have their best interest at heart. And that's part of the problem in the discussion as it conceals the reasons why you want them to remain and comes off as patronizing adding to their feelings of disempowerment.

Kanu was put to prison for expressing his political views. Was it conventional? We would both agree that it added fuel to fire, wouldn't we?

How could a man who spun a tale of African Jews and who speaks on podiums surrounded by the Biafran, Israeli and American flag gain so much popularity and relevance if the government had not empowered him by making him more important than he was?

oyb:

i frankly am indifferent as to whether they stay or go. it is my [subjective] opinion that all they are looking for is political power. they thought they had it in the bag with gej [federal might and all that]. if gej had won in 2015, okonjo iweala would be a shoo in for president, zoning be damned.

the business igbos do is with nigeria and nigerians. it is not among themselves. ifeanyi ubah, cosmas maduka, innocent innoson, zinox - the federal govt is their biggest customer. outside of anambra, none of their states have weaned themselves off the federal tit. i live in festac town lagos. that place is an ibo ground zero. my neighbours are all ibo. i am the only yoruba there. and the only other professional. they are all into business with warehouses full of imported stuff they sell to nigerians. most of them only go to the east in december. nigeria s their source of income.

all the talk of marginalization also keys directly intoo the great what do ibos want question. nigeria is running a federal system. some ibos keep shouting they want out of nigeria. why then would the fg make any long term investments in a region that might break away and sieze them?

why, with all the blather about business acumen etal have they not taken the bull by the horns to develop their region and give the FG teh middle finger?

like i said, i live in lagos. from 2003 to 2015, lagos was antagonized by the fg in one way or another. obj withheld allocations for at least four years. the gej administration refused to guarantee world bank loans for ongoing projects [the lagos badagry expressway]. they even used different govt parastatls to stall the project. through all of this lagos and lagosians did not shout secession/marginalization etal. they played the political game.

there is a lot of stuff out there about how he was calling for violence and inciting hate. though it is laughable, he was already running a parallel government, threatening that elections would not hold, and forming a 'secret service'. now we have smuggled guns being intercepted. you may not remember the the first yea of yardua's government. during this time there was a deadly wave of crime in the east perpetrated by osisikanu, a former militant appendage who missed out on the amnesty largesse.

with guns, and rhetoric that the government cannot do anything, that is what kanu would have taken the SE back to.

if you follow most of the history of biafra agitations, you will wonder about the ibo mindset. someone else said it - they know how to make money, but Bleep-all about politics. these are the same guys who were buying paying uwazurike of massob for biafran passports.

they were making up all sorts of stories about how trump was going to intervene in biafra

they are currently trying to PR python dance into a strory of genocide against christians

in the end it comes back to what i said, a refusal to pursue political power through established channels. after all, the call us yorubas hausa slaves, not so?

He's not even ashamed of saying his children dont know their state of origin thats one thing with igbo people always denying their culture.I hate it when people are forced to co-exist,there is lack of patroitism and unity.
