You taught us a lesson yet, Obasanjo was shot in the butt while, running away from the battlefront during the civil war. Prior to that, Obasanjo rejected the post of a commander in the third marine commando, crying and begging Gowon not to appoint him cos he knew how deadly the Baifran 60 Brigade commanded by Lt. Col Asoya was.

So much for a yoruba lesson, loooool.
if only you know the reality of what really happened during the war and not what your uncle told you. You claimed to be fighting Nigeria buh you were camped in your own territory. The only time Biafra made advancement was when Adebanjo led troops through benin enroute Lagos which they were quickly stopped in Ore and made to retreat back to SS/SE. The Nigerian army didn't eventually come to fight in the first place buh where there to protect the oil companies and to watch Ojukwu didn't make moves. Buh he was already thirsty for blood and attcked the Nigeria army because he was already prepared while Nigeria believes the treaty signed in Ghana earlier had settled the rift. Nigeria army was eventually forced to fight after series of killings and attack by Biafrans, they never meant to attack their own brothers. If they had same thing Ojukwu had in mind, Biafra wouldn't last 3 days. Ojukwu was already prepared for the war and already has his millitary in every strategic places in the SS/SE. Nigeria believes Biafrans are there brothers and were never gonna fight them untill all the attacks. The only thing they care about first and targeted was the oil company in SS which Ojukwu had already secured with heavily armed men. That was why Biafra lasted that much. They fought to secure back the oil company first before fighting to capture Ojukwu. Stop boasting about it, you have many international mercenaries and many allies just like Nigeria did. The U.K almost supported Biafra because they were in control of the oil company and that was all they cared about untill Nigeria secure it back.

The same Ibo language that was acclaimed to be dying due to the non-usage. Not until 2012, there wasn't an ibo word for numericals from 10,000+

Just imagine how savage you pple are. grin Statistically shown by BBC in 2014, 75% of ibos can't read or write the language. grin

No Igbo word for 10,000+ before 2012?? Stop spreading hate and misinformation. Even an Igbo child born in the 80s would’ve known the word for 1,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 before the age of 10.

Stop the hate.

According to Yorubas, Igbo votes are insignificant. Why are you guys worried when they vote? Stop the hate.

If na you won't you envy? The Afonja did everything they could think of to defranchise Igbos after the war yet in 40 years, despite all the Road blocks those demons pushed to be put infront of Igbos to hinder our growth, we still thrived till the point when oil scarcity, it was an Igbo bailing their worthless ass out. If na you won't you envy? Everything they tried FAILED MISERABLY. Why do you think they constantly licking the anus of North? Hell why do you think the animals rejoice whenever a riot happens in North hoping the victims are Igbo but the second they hear their own names, they stay quiet. Funny thing is despite all that ass licking the North does not even like them yet they decieve themselves. Most of the attack North tribes have in South is predominately in their region towards them and Ironically, Majority of the insults by politicians towards them is ironically North. Hell they were even called the problem of Niggeria by a northern empire. Even now, the election, they were insulted not just by Buhari aide but an Hausa even called them a slave and mocked them. Since the election, I've seen that shit repeatedly all over FB but as usual, those animals dig their head in the sand blaming Igbo of their misery. They are just pitiful and pathetic. Let their envy kill them there
Na wa. But an alternative should be for everyone to work hard to succeed and not seek to oppress. If not then separation in peace instead of cat and rat.

How igbos can be blamed more for what happened when it was a reaction not them initiating hate crime while worst things are happening and some play deaf. Yet be accused of hating more. Those who targeted and sought to disenfrenchize based on tribe were wrong those who over reacted where wrong too. And the rest who support the post reactions mainly based on yribe are even wronger.

For this OPC spokes person ranting, where we're your OPC and Yoruba people when Demola was almost being killed like a common criminal.

You guys ran away and left your brother in his pool of blood. Why did you guys not come out and defend him. Cowards. Igbos are peaceful people and will never attack anybody first.

There are more than Ten thousand IPOB members in Lagos. If you guys start any rubbish, the back up will come from the sea and land. Remember Asari and his men are already waiting for this opportunity. IPOB does not joke.

If you guys dare involve IPOB in this matter, be sure Lagos will be too hot for you. OPC are small fry to IPOB. IPOB has issue with the army not civilians. Be warned!


Be careful before making judgement. That's the OPC created by Tinubu and not the Gani Adams led OPC. If Gani Adams led OPC talked, then you should expect more troubles. But that's actually a factional led OPC loyal to Tinubu

Former Federal Commissioner for Works, Alhaji Olufemi Okunnu (SAN)
INTERVIEW
ICYMI: Awori are the original inhabitants, owners of Lagos — Okunnu
Published

November 20, 2017
A former Federal Commissioner for Works, Alhaji Olufemi Okunnu (SAN), in this interview with TOBI AWORINDE, describes Lagosians as accommodating but deserving of respect

Is it true that Lagos is no man’s land?

There is no place called ‘No Man’s Land’ in the world. Every parcel of land has its own history. Lagos has its own history and the original inhabitants of Lagos – the Aworis – settled over 500 years ago. I have said it many times recently that Lagos has its own indigenes. The Aworis were the first group of settlers who inhabited Lagos city and suburbs. Maybe some centuries after, there was the invasion by the Binis, the Edo-speaking people, who invaded Lagos and set up their own institutions. In fact, the obaship of Lagos has a lot to do with the Benin Kingdom. So, the Binis also invaded and settled in Lagos. Oba of Lagos is of Edo or Bini origin, not Yoruba, and all the other chiefs, who came with the first oba, that is, Ado — I am talking of a group of white-cap chiefs called Akarigbere — also are of Bini origin.

The Akarigberes include the following chiefs: Eletu Odigbo, Eletu Iwashe, Eletu Ika, Ologun Agbaje, Ologun Adodo, Eletu Awo, Ologun Agan, Ologun Atebo, Ologun Igbesodi and Ologun Ide Okoro. All these were Binis or Edo-speaking, with their families, and they settled largely in the Isale Eko, Idunmota and Idunshagbe parts of Lagos Island. When you hear of Idunmota, Idunshagbe, Idunmaigbo, Idunmagbo, etc., ‘Idun’ means area — Bini origin. They, not Yorubas, settled there. Apart from the Akarigbere class of chiefs, there were also the Abagbon class of chiefs, who came with Ado, again Binis: Ashogbon (war chiefs), Bajulaiye (‘Bazuaye’ as they call it in Benin today), Saba, Bajulu, Bashua (which is another form of ‘Bazua’). They were all Bini or Edo-speaking, not Yoruba.


Are you saying that the Binis too can claim ownership of Lagos?

What I’m trying to emphasise is that Lagos, in terms of indigenes, is not only the Yoruba, although they don’t speak Bini language now because they have all abandoned Bini language; it is not spoken among them. They are all Yoruba-speaking like the Fulani, who conquered the Hausa. The Kano people don’t speak Fula; they speak Hausa, the language of the conquered. So, you don’t hear the Bini, who settled in Lagos some three centuries ago, speaking Bini any longer. They speak the language of the people they found there.


So, who owns Lagos?

The Idejo class of chiefs in Lagos are of Awori origin. They are the land-owning class of chiefs. They owned Olumegbon (the whole of Ajah belonged to the Olumegbon chieftaincy family); Oniru (the whole of Victoria Island); Ojomu, next door to Ajah (there is Oba Ojomu now); Elegushi (the land being at Ikate); the Onisemo. The whole of Apapa Peninsula used to belong to the Oluwa family. The British compulsorily acquired the whole of Apapa and paid compensation to them. The Ojora of Lagos (that is Ijora) were the original settlers.

NAIRALAND is becoming Toxic. This thread should have been closed and let peple read without commenting. I may have to create an alternative to site.
astana1:
The Oodua People’s Congress has warned the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra against attacking any Yoruba territory based on the alleged attack on Igbo in Lagos State after the presidential and National Assembly polls.

The President of OPC, Rasaq Arogundade, gave the warning in a statement made available to SUNDAY PUNCH in Lagos.


Arogundade’s statement was in reaction to an earlier statement by the Publicity Secretary of the IPOB, Emma Powerful, which claimed that Igbo residents living in Lagos State were attacked during the last Presidential and National Assembly elections and were prevented from voting for the candidates of their choice.

The IPOB publicity secretary alleged that the attack might have been orchestrated by some Fulani people against the Igbo who he said had been victims of such attacks in some parts of the country before now.

The OPC boss said contrary to the claims of Powerful, there was no Igbo stronghold anywhere in Lagos State or any part of Yoruba land, saying such claims were not true.

The statement read, “The Igbo are again exhibiting lack of contentment and appreciation of divine goodness in their lives. Where in Igboland are strangers accorded the privileges being enjoyed by Igbo in Lagos and Yorubaland? Igbo have lived peacefully in Lagos and the entire Yorubaland for ages. They carry out their business and own property unmolested.

“As a matter of correction, there is no single Igbo stronghold in Lagos or any other part of Yorubaland. What exist are areas of high concentration of Igbo dwellers, who live side by side other immigrants and indigenes.”

He stated that Igbo had always been treated well and given opportunity to be elected into the Lagos State House of Assembly and were represented at the state executive council.

“It is no coincidence that Yorubaland (South-West Nigeria) has been the most peaceful part in Nigeria. The relative peace is not because of fear or cowardice but a deliberate policy of our forebears, who after fighting many wars, have resolved to make peaceful and communal living the way of life.


“That we are accommodating and friendly should not be misconstrued as a weakness or sign of timidity as the OPC is fully ready to repel any attack on Yoruba territory from any quarter,” Arogundade added.
