Did he run away? he typed all that stuff (fluff) and still didn't give us any name(s) besides insinuating Madam Tinubu as if rigging one's way into a political position can be considered a great thing in Nigeria.

I wish he gave more names though.... and that other dude on page 0 that mentioned Mrs. Kuti etc... is it only 3 names he could think of?

Should we conclude then by agreeing with the OP? that in Nigeria, Igbo women seem to be the most active and successful in all spheres of life? or lemme say in most/major worthy/admirable lol aspects of life....

Abagworo: 1) As for religious leader of note, have you heard about Port Harcourt's "Mummy B". She preaches in Igbo most times with an English interpreter.

2) Senator Chris Anyanwu is a present Senator from Imo State

3) We've only had one female Governor in Nigeria and she's Igbo.

You don't need to beat about the bush to notice that majority of Nigerian beauty pageants are from the Igbo area. Probably 80% of contestants.

Like I wrote earlier, Igbos seem to accept cultural change very rapidly. Maybe in the past the women never wielded much power but in my area there existed the most powerful woman known as Ezemmiri which translates to "Queen of the water" and there are parts of Igboland where your hometown is your maternal as against the normal African paternal society.

Again, I am glad you stopped because your questions don't really help us analyze the topic at hand -how can you verify that whether Chioma went to Japan on her own accord and became a successful fashion & designer, medical doctor or importer/exporter is true or not?

At the same time, you can cook up your own stories that I may not be able to verify....

The only sensible thing you said is asking for women that have led men....
but before that, you want to shy away from political appointees... (while you earlier mentioned a senator as an "accomplishment"... isn't a senator a political position where the persons previous accomplishments doesn't matter? Orji Kalu won a political contest.. does that mean he has something upstairs? by contract, isn't a political appointment based on a person's resume?.... )

If you want women that have led men...

where do I start? .... is it with the lady that was the head of Nigerian Stock exchange...

or the former boss of NAFDAC that transformed that organization to the point that her life was being threatened left right and center...

If you don't want to talk of political appointments... how about we talk of women achievers....

each time Nigeria has been in the limelight of glory because of a woman's action....

shall we start from Chioma Ajunwa?

do we end with Ngozi Adichie?

or in between is it the name you dread to hear our able Minister whom before getting the "polical appointment" you don't want to be mentioined... was with World Bank and making waves...

If you don't mind, I will appreciate a few names from you that you feel are women achievers on a national or international level...

I know of the one that drove a car... great accomplishment... anyone else?

bokohalal: Has an Igbo woman been elected a senator yet?
Is there an Igbo woman church/ religious leader of note?
Can a married Igbo woman enter into a legal agreement without the consent or knowledge or participation of her husband? I remember Tonto Dike being called names on this site for condemning Igbo men and lack of independence for Igbo women.
Do not mention political appointees. Talk of women that have on their own led men,not just women,in history and modern times.
Talk about the modern woman that could on her own leave to live in Japan,Argentina,Australia or anywhere else without the parents or spouse sending her down there.
What percentage of Igbo women own landed property built from their sweat?
Let me stop.

I am glad you chose to stop....

I will ignore the fact that you were asking "back-handed" questions (obviously because you have certain women in your mind as the answers to your questions....) and present to you the sense or lack there-of in your questions:

1. Has an Igbo woman been elected a senator yet?

Yes. in 2011.
Senator Chris Anyanwu is a woman.
The first female senator is Franca Afegbua, by the way.
(If you are thinking it is Madam Tinubu. You really should venture out of the SW... )

2. Is there an Igbo woman church/ religious leader of note?

Well, depends what you mean "of note... "
There definitely wouldn't be one in the SW if that is what you mean by "of note" ...
But given the popularity of Catholicism in Igboland... naming names to you will not cut it for you since you don't know them... so my simple answer for you is ... "Yes, there are; lots."

3. Can a married Igbo woman enter into a legal agreement without the consent or knowledge or participation of her husband?

Again, the simple answer is "Yes, she can."
In the past, women were not "slaves" and trumped by their husbands in Igboland.... it was only in cultural rites that women were not allowed... for example, a woman "breaking kola" where men are... that was and I believe still is an abomination... even women in Igbo know and respect that.
So I really don't know where your impression comes from that a woman cant enter lega agreements on her own... Tonto Dike is now your source of Igbo traditions? and she told you women cant enter legal agreements on their own?

I wouldn't fault him on that because looking at the present day Nigeria.... which women have come to the fore from political, to socio-economic and religious or traditional spheres?

So when you look on the "surface" and what you see is one-sided... its not far-fetched to make the assumption he made... and he did leave it topen to learn/hear of others (ethnic women) as well....

Yes, its a bold statement to make, but its not, again, what they say is, far-fetched.

Peinstein: That is the issue with Nigerians o. we dont check the size of our neighbors' farm, yet we yell ours is the largest. Not that his assertion couldnt be true, but Odumchi has only told us the Igbo side of Nigerian women.

You don't know Madam Tinubu?!!!

The great Asuwajurette of Yoruba land?!!

The woman that has done what no other has done iin the history of Yorubaland?!

You're on your own ooo!

(P.S. I like your status lol. They've kicked me out of the politics section too.... I guess some people don't like hearing the truth... )

ngozievergreen: just these few. U ppl only produce just one or two of few good tnz.

And Who the hell is Madam Tinubu? Hia...

so if someone says that Tpia being intelligent is a hog-wash.... you'll call that a "point"?

and if the person that said it has earlier stated emphatically (and believes) that goats can fly or that yorubas are brave... wouldn't that mean sensible and rational minds should not take anything he says seriously.... especially when making blanket statements?

Did I hear he is a lawyer? sure he knows (and any sensible or rational person) that the credibility of a witness or anyone in a court proceeding is always a factor in determining how serious to take the persons testimony...

tpia@:
in this instance, disprove the points [if you can], not the personality.

2056? seriously?

Thankgodifeduba: LAGOS DEPORTATION: IGBOS ARE INGRATES-APC chieftain

Chieftain of the newly registered All
Progressive Congress, APC, and immediate
publicity secretary of the Lagos state chapter
of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, has
said that Igbos living in Lagos state are
"ingrates". He said this in response to the
outcry by prominent Igbo leaders over the
alleged forceful deportation of some Igbos
from Lagos.
Speaking to newsmen, Igbokwe said "my
experience with Ndigbo in Lagos will take a
book to tell. Our people do not know their
enemies. They do not know their friends
either. Igbo must have the power of
creativity, the power of strategic thinking,
power of critical thinking. Igbo are about to
repeat the mistakes of the past in the South
West.

If Ndigbo can attack Gov Fashola the
way they have done in the past few days
then I can conclude that we do not really
know who our friends are. Look at former
Gov Orji Uzo Kalu threatening to take Gov
Fashola to Court when he could not do
anything when his successor threw Igbo in
Anambra, Imo, Enugu, and Ebonyi out of
Abia Civil Service. “When a lady Uzoma Okere
was brutalized by a Yoruba Naval Officer did
any of these empty heads shouting from the
rooftops stand up for the young lady?
Fashola did! Kidnappings in Lagos are one
hundred percent Igbo-driven and yet Gov
Fashola has not deported any of them. Our
people have been involved in armed
robbery, 419, drug trafficking, vandalization
of street lights cables etc in Lagos and yet
Lagos accommodates them.

I can cite some tens of critical interventions
Gov Fashola has made on behalf of Ndigbo
as someone inside the system. Gov Fashola
has reintegrated people with their Kitts and
kins in Oyo, Osogbo, some states in the
North without too much noise as we see
today but Igbo (nkem di iche) must talk
without thinking about strategic interest
and intelligent objectivity. Dead bodies have
been sent severally from a section of the
Country in the past three years to Igboland
and these Cowards have kept a criminal
silence waiting for others to do the job for
them. Igbo toy with their destiny. I suggest
that real men and women should take up
the challenge of redirecting the way Igbo
think and reason.”-

rofl... "the battle here is real and effective indeed..." yooba warrior! oops I forgot to add the "e" yooba e-warrior!

this is not the first lie y'all tellyourself to console yourselves and try to sleep well at night...

but sorry to let you know that the figment of your imagination, because you want it to be "real and effective" does not make it real and effective....

You really think hardworking Nigerians, especially the Igbo traders have time to waste on NL? and if they have time it will be to burn their MB by spending hours on NL?

Your current very very strong ultimate "warriors" ... how many of them live in Nigeria? or can afford to be visiting Nigeria ll the time... man, why am I even having this discussion with you... it is just unbelieveably and amazingly s t u p I d.

Psychological warfare! chai! you sure you aint one of those destistute that have mental issues? lol...

Virgin Finder: You are a dullard!

This is psychological warfare and is part of real life warfare.

Believe it or not, the bashings you receive here will have a subliminal effect on your reasoning, mindset and decision making.

Many who saw Lagos as a no man's land will gradually begin to have a new mindset.

Ndjigbos who still in the SE with the intention of relocating to Lagos will have a rethink.

Ndjigbos who have invested significantly will start giving relocation back to the east a 2nd thought.

Ndjigbos who want to buy landed properties thinking that will give them a stake in Lagos will relax and reconsider.

The battle here is real and effective. That's why Yorubas must win it at all cost.

OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!!!!!!

ARE YOU FOR REAL?!!!!

THIS IS SO UNBELIEVEABLE!

My guy... you have single-handedly, or single=posedly lol ... nailed the coffin shut with the notion of your people being cowards!

I mean... don't you know that it is because you people talk too much (with insults and rascalisty) ... and run when real action is come, that the coward tag came about?

and here you are promoting the notion that you guys are really cowards, by showing how much you and your people talk and engage in "e=war" as you call it....

I mean... Imaging lil kids with their toys, say action figures, believing that they are so strong because their action figure "beat up" the other in a "fight" ...

geez man, I am so embarrassed for you... I am sure a lot of your floks are hiding their faces in shame too.... rofl! you are soooooooo funny!!!!

e-champions indeed! you are soooo strong!!!!

Oya, come show me your muscle!!!

wow your muscle must be sooo big!!!

olaheavy: Well done, Yoruba warriors! May our forefathers continue to guard and guide us all. Amin. Kudos to @kulyie, @midastouch1, @yetunsbay, @shymexx, @LBT, and etc. You see, circa 2005, when nairaland.com was still in its infancy, the Ibos quickly found a convenient outpost where they insulted and derided the Yoruba; it was too much and nothing was done about it (maybe because @seun was struggling then to make his website popular). He and his fellow Yoruba couldn't do anything -- they were just sitting there like goons and faking what @shymexx would later coin as "pseudo-sophistication". The Ibos were raving mad across the forum while having what seemed like an eternal field day! Then, gbam! out of nowhere came the succor that the Yoruba race rightly needed. A brave Yoruba e-warrior by the handle of @ajisafe, suddenly emerged in the same Yoruba spirit of General Benjamin Adekunle's and waylaid the Ibos in a cyber sliding tackle and ended up digitally finishing off the Ibos. Man! The outcry was unending -- the Ibos cried blue murder and went behind the scene to lodge bitter complaints to @seun. This war became so e-bloody to the extent that eggheads such as @jakumo would take pity on the Ibos by appealing to @ajisafe to forgive the Biafrans! However, I guess @seun didn't want to lose his teeming Biafran visitors, so he had to ban the galant e-soldier, @ajisafe, for life. Well, years later, the hitherto docile, slumbering, and "pseudo-sophisticated" Yoruba intelligentsia have been aroused and taken up the gauntlet from where @ajisafe left it. We now have able Yoruba e-warriors like @dayokanu, @aigbofa, @shymexx, @desola, @prof. Corruption, @iyangbali, @ekoile, @ilekeidi (Texas cowgirl), @olaheavy (yours truly), and etc. The coast is now clear -- the sleeping giant in Yoruba people is now awoken and there's no going back; the pathetic Ibos are having it up in their a.r.ses, noses, mouths, ears, pvssies, and anywhere there's a hole in whatever is left of their ignoble and smelly carcass. Thank you, Omo Oduduwa.

you are calling sacking employees a "policy"?
are you playing ignorant of the difference between deporting and sacking? is that why the word deport is put in quotations in the title?

you want to twist this one to fit into your hate speech and propaganda and add it as "another reason to hate" a hardworking and progressive people?

Do you know how many of those people that stayed back in the state?
Or when they were sacked they were bundled up and taken to a prison for 6 months before deporting them in the wee hours of the morning?

are you running out of lies?

99cent: so it is Igbo people who actually invented this policy.

I don't think Fashola knew those people would be dropped off there at 3:00 am.... I feel that when the oga at the top gives an order... the way it is executed always has some flaws and unfortunately he w bears the brunt of the matter...}
over 3000 were "deported" in 2011 and none of them were Igbos... I don't think Fashola has anything against Igbos... if anything, he is one of them... I mean, he has a mind for biz and I can see him chilling with the elites of Igbo extraction.... I don tire for this Igbo/Yoruba rivalry... una get time, seriously lol.

Roseey0: I don't care what and what Fashola has done or will do for ndigbo. That particular act was wrong. If he knew he was right, why drop them off by 3am,its only a thief that operate by that time. Besides, its head bridge peter obi's office?

You people should stop justifying nonsense.

You lot will concot a lot of nonsense to make yourselves feel good, I know.

I will assume you have just an iota of sense and ask you some questions on your very own posts:

1. You said .... "No need for the long story, it was not by force you came on your own, now the owners are beginning to clamour openly that they don't want you anymore. It is their prerogative to decide who they want or not."

- Who do you call the "owners"?
When someone has bought a land and built, say, a hotel, on it, who is this "owner" that you are referring to?

- "clamouring openly" .... can you state how the owner has done this (open clamour)? and by "you" I assume you mean all Igbos? ... so you believe there is an "open clamour" for all Igbos to leave Lagos?

2. "The lands legally bought are actually leases that expire after a number of years and it reverts back to the government."

Doesn't this contradict your previous statement? if the lease is not due, this "open clamour" can still be put in effect?

How many years is this lease for the bought land that (thank God you agree) is legally bought by Igbos?

3. "the choice that you must leave has been made... "
Again... who is the "you" that you refer to? traders? all Igbos? and who made this choice? does 1 man "own" Lagos?

Arent you scratching your head now that your post has been stripped naked and its silliness exposed?

Are you gonna log in with your prof. corruption ID to try and correct these ridiculous statements you have made?

and Ghana must go... no matter the lie you want to believe... it wasn't Lagosians that came up with that phrase... it was Ghanaians themselves and they were very very happy to leave.... those who didn't want to... are still in Lag.
Believe it or not... Igbos are in Lagos... TO STAY!!!

CyberG: No need for the long story, it was not by force you came on your own, now the owners are beginning to clamour openly that they don't want you anymore. It is their prerogative to decide who they want or not. The lands legally bought are actually leases that expire after a number of years and it reverts back to the government, held in custody by the governor. The choice that you must leave has been made and it is just a matter of time. The Ghana must go saga did not happen the actual decision was made.

Igbos need to begin investing more in the SE....

emmalexabl: Thank you jare !!!
We all know that the owners of lagos are AWORI's but what baffles me is how YORUBAS keep laying claim to eko city.
My suggestion to beloved yorubas is that they should quit fighting over what isn't theirs.
They should rather go to kwara state and reclaim the state and throne which they sheepishly and cowardly lost to their slave masters....eko o ni baje oooo for WAZOBIA !!!

Ahh... nvm...

It was your yooba brother that is interested in passing on messages of hate, not me - I got better things and money to make with my time....

But I cant help but ask how and who pushed yoobas to the wall?

How and why would a young man interested in running his business and making ends meet to feed himself and his family have time to be making trouble with jobless touts loitering in the streets of lagos?

A lot of y'all just gulp up all sorts of lies and for some strange reason believe it without trying to figure things about someone else, for yourself...

its people like you that I will spit in your face in dig my fingers in your eyes if I met you in person and you will do nothing, absolutely nothing about it than your usual rants and drama to attract passers-by that will come and save your behind...

See yooba man talking about being pushed to the wall... a goat will fight if pushed to the wall... a yooba coward will pee and $h1t his pants and beg for his life when pushed to the wall...

Bia, don't make me angry this fine Saturday afternoon... I hate liars!

software man: PLEASE ALSO PASS ON THE MESSAGE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE FINALLY PUSHED US TO THE WALL.
YOUR HATRED FOR OUR LEADERS, YOUR DISDAIN AND DISRESPECT FOR OUR CULTURE, TRADITION AND PEOPLE HAD GONE ON TOO LONG AND TOO MUCH.
FROM NOW ON IT IS FIRE FOR FIRE.

The $tu|pid lies you lot tell yourselves is alarming...

Hear yourself "... our hospitality for cowardice..."

I mean what else could be more re-tar-ded than that? instead of saying that you believe that selling land to an Igbo man = hospitality; and that (Nigerians) defining a Yoruba man for what he is makes you mad... you end up making absolutely no sense.

and telling more lies on top of that...

anyways, what I really wanted to tell you is that it is not today that the Igbos know that you yorubas will stab them in the back in a blink of an eye....
so they aint gonna give you any chance to do that, okay?

so as you spread your "good news" to you loser friends, include that no Igbo man trusts a Yoruba man even with his tongue notorized.

coward modda4kers

dee1wolex: u ar very right brother, i hav travelled all over nigeria nd i dnt knw wher ibos ar tolerated lik yorubaland, nigerdeltans hate dem wit passion...infact i served in bayelsa state...in a community called ikolo in yenagoa lga and we were told d comunity chased all ibos out sometyms around 2003 nd since den they didnt allow any of dem com close. But as friendly as we ar to these idiots, they stil find it easy to atack a yoruba man..they take our hospitality for cowardice..infact d hatred i hav for dem jst keep rising on daily basis.
I wil mak sure i spread d msg of how much they really hate us..i think its abt time we hav a general atitudinal change towards them.

No.... its time you learn how to count 1 2 3...

How many days are there between 29th July and 2nd August?
https://www.nairaland.com/1381738/deportation-igbos-lagos-senator-ngige/13

Fashola sounds like he's so scared that he's gonna pee his pants.... like Diya crying before Abacha...

ilugunboy: EOD.....you can't substitute facts with emotions and fiction...

It's is time Ibos start asking Adaobi why he is doing all this misinformation...

I think it's time that we drag all the Ibos on Nairaland to Alausa to go and be well informed....

I hope you left this thread to go and learn how to count....

See how bigotry and hate (for people who have done nothing to you and your likes) makes you dumb&dumber...

So from the 29th of July to the 2nd of August is 7 days?

Haters might not know it as it happens.... but you tread on a path of destruction and the inevitable end will be a pity, a shame, embarrassment and disgrace... I mean, for someone that has a bit of meaning in life ending up dead as a rat just because of unnecessary hatred and bigotry....

You and your type have reached and moving past the first stage of self-destruction - you lose your common sense and are blinded (by hate) to rationality...

The other day it was Kats that was helping another fella on the same path as you to see and use common sense which was blank and bare in his face, but because it was coming from an Igbo.... (or "ibo" as you like to use) .... he was unable to "see" and understand.... again, the sad thing is, he doesn't know that he is losing it...

and now you, simple and ordinary counting... what my 3 year old niece can do, is impossible for an adult like yourself.... (even if you a kid... an unintelligent kid you are, now).

I could be glad and happy that you guys are losing your minds and deserve to end up as your sage did after killing 2 million Igbos he was trying to get back to and "stand over".... but we aint like that bro, and I say to you.... a cliché it may be... don't hate, appreciate....

Give it a second shot and try to count the correct answer... from 29th of July to 2nd of August is?

ilugunboy: When is the retaliation.....pls hurry up....am tired of reading endless threats....


OUK seven days threat has passed...the bagger has chicken out like the coward he truly is....

Hey Manny... Man, I thought this character you were replying got you and other Igbos on NL hoodwinked... . and it seems she is claiming Igbo so she can be part of the NNO.... her previous comments on this thread about the NNO is proof of that.... I mean, whats the point of faking it with a fake Igbo ID, as opposed to being open about not being Igbo but will still like to be a part of the group.... the saying goes that someone who comes with clean hands should not fear or have to fake anything.... unless that person has a(n) evil agenda... which makes me more likely than not, to believe that this Obiageli is an imposter that wants to infiltrate a(n) online group seeking to unify and support its people

And also, see how it took her an hour after you posted in Igbo to 'her' and it took her an hour to get it translated... and she even failed to get it right... her response shows she probably typed in your post in Igbo into google lol... and its only the popular idiom that was on google.... and she turned the idiom upside down rofl....

Anywho... a Yoruba has more than one tonge so her reply kinda fits 'her' and her people...

Ok enough of that clown... did you get me e-mail btw... I haven't gotten an response from NNO...

manny4life: Gbam... This is exactly what I thought. Igbo person who can't even interpret what I said. Lol, I wrote in Igbo to know if you understood what I said... You're not even Igbo so your opinion DOES NOT count. I have no more comments to you.

The sad truth is that OUK does not care about the people that were ejected from Lagos State.

Since he left the government house in Umuahia, and lost a senate seat, he has been craving attention and relevance in the media....

so he sees this despicable act of asshola as a way to inject himself into current events/politics to be heard as he has been on his way to

Maxymilliano: [img]http://serving.thisdaylive.com/0bef99d6-acf5-4e2c-9779-8fa02ba3fcd4/assets/030512F.orji-uzor-kalu.jpg?maxwidth=400&maxunpopularity after being a "popular" governor...
... they love it... they love hating on people for no good reason....

Dude also knows they love acts of cowardice...and its characteristics...


so that is what led to this development... and he is getting 10 pages of reaction as he has been craving....

I wish he will sue, I wish ass-ola will be taken to court....

but 7 days will come and go and... sadly, it would NOT be OUK that will do anything...

he's just playing politics with the political-fabric of the sophisticatedly-hating-cowardly oafs....


and where is Ola Johnson and his shapeless head when he is needed to aptly label this man the flattest head of all flat heads...

"onye ahu 'flat-head' ya ka nke m o, lee ya ka o n'abia.... 'flat-head' bianu were oche.... lee ya k'o n'abia" hehehe ;d ;d ;d ;d


Dude knows tres bien how yoobas react to tribal politics
