But why in White House and not in Aso Rock??

While in my final year in one of Nigeria's Medical School, the best student was no where recognized by anybody. He travelled to the UK, became a barber in order to raise money to pay his school fees. He is today in the US doing considerably well all by his efforts alone and no form of recognition.

While I congratulate Uzodinma for his success which is when preparation meets opportunity, I do know he may not have made such degree of success with our shores here.

Many Nigerians have no good opportunities despite ADEQUATE PREPARATIONS.

In the White House they focus on talent, In Aso Rock dem go focus on tribe first. That is a shame. But there is hope.

Congratulations to Mama Ngozi for raising a child with a good brain.

Igbo Kwenu!

Majority of Yoruba men know how to love a woman and show her love. If a Yoruba man loves his woman, he would treat her like a queen. Yoruba men are romantic. That's why you still see poor Yoruba men with loyal wives.

Majority of Igbo men aren't really romantic. Most of them think they are, but they actually aren't. They believe being romantic is by spending money on a woman, rather than showing her affection.
The average Igbo man would first acquire all the wealth he can acquire before thinking of going into a serious relationship, especially one aimed at marriage, because he believes that money is the most essential thing in a relationship, and that's a wrong notion.

And before people start calling me a tribal bigot, I am actually Igbo, but I always try as much as possible to always uphold the truth, irrespective of the tribe(s) involved.

You don launch the first volley now abi?

ozoigbondu:
This move by the police is legally and morally wrong

Good job by the Nigerian Police.
You can sit there and speak big theory. The police are on ground and the arm twisting is brilliant - it got the job done.
The True VICTIM was freed. The accomplice wife - storing money and weapons is fair game.

IPOB Youth

What is your business with Nigerian affairs?

When are you going to contribute money to get a new lawyer for Dilector?

Thank you for recognizing him as IPOB and NOT Igbo.
Majority Igbos are NOT IPOB and we should not push the sane majority IGbos into the same categority as these lunatic IPOB and their dilector.
Ohaneze is against IPob. Even Massob is against Ipob.

As much as I do not support GEJ, this insult by Economist is too much.
I will never click on their website or buy anything from the Economist.

Economist must pay or apologize.

Oh Boy
This our Presido fine o!

The man looks the part and carries himself well too

Nigeria as a country is not doomed but i can assure you that Niger-delta region will be a war-torn region.

I only pity innocent inhabitants.....

I can assure you that you and the militants ll all cry when Nigeria soldiers finish with that region.

Lol!!!! No country in the world has ever fallen as a result of militant threat or economic sabotage.

Having tried to bring peace to that region by way of amnesty, what you and the militants don't realise is that both UN and world powers ll be in support of Nigeria army against that region when the right time comes.

However, Niger-delta has Igbo inhabitants and i strongly believed that Igbos are behind this. If Federal government finds out that Igbos want to use Niger-delta has a alibi for their selfish desire, then the battle ll be shifted to their door step in the East where the little development in that region goes in flame.

Finally, nobody ll pity Igbos this time around. Igbos' cup is full and it's right time to deal with them decisively. What Igbos failed to understand is that Northerners in power will rather die than allow Igbos to have their way.

Northerners prefer civil war so as to finish what they could have finished in 70s. It's obvious in their write ups online and attitude in political arena that Igbos are pretty doomed. Read my lips, Northerners are already preparing for civil war if you dont know...... And Heaven ll not fall when Federal government descend on Igbos...

Igbos are doomed? Bc you a common individual said so?
FG does NOT have a problem with IGBos. Plenty of IGBOS in FG.
FG has a problem with KANU. Thats it.

So Grow up. Stop HATING. Learn to LOVE instead

You are too emotional.

The so- called militant is threatening to abduct expats (who did nothing to him) and to also destroy his own country?
There is no way the Nigerian Federal Govt. should tolerate these threats and blackmail.

The individual says he is being hunted now? Bc Kanu is in detention?
There will be no where to run to or hide for you when you truly start getting hunted.

Easy money is over. Go and learn a trade. Work hard afterwards.
If you choose the wrong path, your own comrades will rat you out when the heat starts.

PMB - You do well as you RECOGNIZE and REWARD excellence.
Please Sir - give our youth facilities and motivation

Thank you Sir

That is the question you should allow the man to answer in court before you call for his conviction. You have to allow a person to die before you decide they should be buried

Bros - if it moves like a duck and quacks like a duck....

noblezone:


I was in one of our rice producing towns.
They youths were in the bush keeping vigil against the herdsmen.

We are industrious, and do not wait for handout from Abuja.
Yet, we have these murderous invaders who call themselves fellow citizens.

You wont understand my post bro, I understand with you.

As for those looting Nigeria, they draw strength from fraudulent structure and the constitution given to us by northern Nigeria army officers.

I am not frustrated one bit, I only know my identity and my destiny.
My identity was mis-configured by slave traders and my destiny toyed with.

So you dont understand my post?

Let me try and be more simple.

You accused Kanu of soliciting for arms to wage war against Nigeria. and I am saying e took that position because Nigeria only hear when violence is involved.

There has been peaceful protests down here for some weeks, but how do you people respond? "Shoot the all".

My question is this, these invaders have right to arms, why cant we also?

Seems like you blame the north? Open your heart bro.
OBJ and GEJ are northerners too?

Unfortunately, GEJ supervised wholesale looting.

Have you not heard of nation states? Nigeria is one.
Or do you think that we should have 1000 nation states in Africa- one for every tribe that knows their identity?

kingzizzy:



How can you call a person a thief when he has not been convicted of such? Where you there when he recieved the money? So when any allegation is raised against a person, you APC people assume it is true without allowing the accused to tell his own side of the story in court? You APC people are even worst than PDP. Even PDP supporters were not this narrow minded

Okay please tell me where Metuh EARNED the 400 million from in one day? Was it his salary?
Magically money showed up in his personal account

kingzizzy:


That isn't going to dampen the spirits of his supporters one bit, if anything it will make them more determined than ever. This has gone beyond bringing someone to court in handcuffs. They tried that with Mr Metuh, it backfired and gave Metuh even more support from his kith and kin than he had before.

Metuh? Metuh is a thief (at least that is what he is charged with - looting.) He brought shame to Igbos and you are here talking about more support for a thief? Or did Metuh share some of the stolen money with you??

noblezone:


My point is this:

There are two ways to self determination, by peace or by force.

Nigeria does not listen to peaceful people, they kill them.
Do you know how many thousands of our people killed by Nigeria under Uwazurike peaceful movement?

People were shot point blank at close range.
Do you know how many people that have died so far in these protests?

Saro Wiwa was peaceful, Nigeria hanged him!
Asari carried arms, Nigeria listened and negotiated.

As much as I disagree with Nnamdi on his approach, I must admit that he has taken this struggle to an unprecedented level within a very short time.

Also, let me tell you that right now, Fulani herdsmen invade our lands, destroy our crops, maim, kill our men and rape our women.

Shall we remain silent and shout about "peace'?

What right do they have to carry arms that we dont?
What right did Luggard have to invade our lands with arms that we dont have?

If it is peace, then let us discuss in peace.
But if you have gun on my head, it is my right to also have gun on your head.
What is good for goose is also good for the gander!

I really tried to understand your post but could not.
What are you really saying? I just sense that you are frustrated.

SO Fulani herdsmen invading your land? I doubt that you as an individual own any land.
Asari got really fat and enriched himself in the end is that the point of the "struggle?"

Failed leadership and corruption is the enemy of Nigeria.
Do you not hear about the kind of money ( billions that were stolen?)
Money that should have been used to build infrastructure for you and me instead pocketed by a few thieves.
God willing, Nigeria will kill whole sale corruption.

Kalvan:

Very valid question. When people talk about hating Nigerians, they're usually talking about Igbos. Look at South Africa for example; the igbos there are ruthless drug dealers.

My friend shut up.
BH is Igbo too??
Yorubas are saints abi?
The idiot that beheaded the British soldier na Igbo too?

Ohaneze, Governors, the OBI's and Eze's and Igbo Elders all condemn Ipob and their "dilector."

IPOB is on their own (besides the anonymous rants of some frustrated supporters on the internet). Even Massob abandoned them.
This IPOB DOEs NOT speak for Igbos.

Igbos are for growth and economic expansion (ask Obiano for example). Igbos want development, and NOT to turn Nigeria into another Syria where starvation, war, death, bombardment, injury and destruction reigns.

We need peace to attract investment.

menxer:
When I read comments on threads like this, I realize why we are still backward as a nation.

A thread that was meant to highlight some landmarks in a Nigerian city is over ran by ethnic bigots.

I duff my cap for una...

Don't pay too much attention to these anonymous tribalists. They type the biggest insults to be as provocative as possible. Rather than woory about their rent and other necessities they come to NL to beat their chests and make threats.

It shall be well.

StOla:



Exactly my opinion of them.

They don't mind the disorder or chaos, Infact they thrive in it. Once a market begins to look too clean or organised, it is a turn off for them.

Imagine some complaining that the new market will only accommodate 600 traders, while the chaotic refuse dump that was destroyed accommodated 2000 - 5000 traders. They are asking what the government want the remaining traders to do?

It seems the Igbos among them have not heard of the land of the rising sun?

They claim Lagos needs them and is at their mercy because of a phantom IGR percentage due to them. Now the Lagos government has decided that a spacious, neater market with lower shop units is the way to go, but they are now worried that they have no market available to them in Lagos. Why not leave the ungrateful Lagos and return to their homeland? Shakara don end.

I have always maintained that no host nation is at the mercy of a certain tribe of immigrants. If the Mexicans will not tend to the gardens and housekeep for the Americans, the Cubans will.

Yorubas should do what they need to do with their states, without regard to anyone.

I m sure you are a two faced idiot. When you see Igbo on the street you smile at them. When you here on NL you spew hate.

Fact is Igbos have every RIGHT to reside in Lagos, Nigeria - the former federal capital. If you like call Igbos name till Kingdom come it does not mean anything. Those properties were bought by Igbos - so you better pay your rent or they throw you out.

You have two choices

1. Continue the hate and Stayed pained until you die before your time from hate induced high blood pressure, or
2. Accept reality and co - exist and learn to love thy neighbor

It is your choice and which one that you choose does not really matter to Igbos

bloodyBLOGGER:
No ibo manwas worthy to be president, so Ohaneze told all ibos to jettison their ambition for the Failure called GEJ.

No Ibo man was worthy to be awarded Igbo man of the year, so Ohaneze gave it to Amaechi, the man that helped scuttle the plans of their clueless hero.

Is Rotimi Amaechi an Ibo man?



Are we now biafrans?- rotimi amaechi

First off no one is talking about Biafra but only you - the seemingly confused one asking stupi.d questions.

Secondly, Look at the map. DO you think the Ikwerre Sub group of Igbo suddenly emerged from Atlantic Ocean ??

Thirdly, Port Harcourt was formerly known as Igwe Ocha. Or is Igwe Ocha Chinese now?

Learn to think before you talk.

gurnam:


There is a limit to human tolerance, even you as the governor would have acted far much earlier than Ambode did.
Governor Fashola engaged these traders for the better part of his tenure. The oyingbo market was planned for demolition and rebuilding along the Owonifari market, while the Yorubas occupying the oyingbo market left for the reconstruction, the Igbos in Owonifari were using all sort of tricks and excuses to delay the demolition.
The oyingbo market is a thriving modern stall market today.
Ambode simply called off their bluff after all attempts to engage them to move out peacefully have failed, thus resulting to the forceful eviction.
Igbo traders need a change in orientation in Lagos, they should stop hiding under Federal government to confront the state government.

I commend you bro. You are winning this argument on the strength of your logic.

gurnam:


You have a good heart. The problem however is your mindset. You have been programmed that everything is a direct attack against Igbo interest, even when it's obvious that is not the case.
For eight years, they were engaged, dialogue with, and they keep coming up with excuses why the demolition should be postpone, they even insisted on not relocating to the allocated new market because it's story buildings with Lags BEGGING them to accept since land is scarce in Lagos to erect bugalow market that will consume more space.
Truth is NO GOVERNMENT anywhere in the world will stomach half of what the Igbo traders in Lagos tries with LASG.

Your commentary is balanced and devoid of insults, hence i took the time to consider your points. Personally, I appreciate logic not the useless insults that we see from faceless children here. They cannot support any argument hence the throw insult.
I do not generally attack tribes but individuals and usually based on their actions. I invite you to please review my posts. Attacking tribe based on individual misdeed is illogical. I generally do not do that.

Ambode destroying this market may ultimately be justified as you tried to explain. But he needed to execute it better. The timing seems mean spirited and having peoples wares looted and burned while they were away is very bad. It sends the wrong message.

Again, I do not judge Ambode bc he is a Yoruba man. I consider him a Nigerian governor first and formest. But i believe that he is proving a bit inexperienced. He will learn from this and learn to sell things better.

Lastly, Igbos and Yoruba feud is the biggest gift to Northern Nigeria. See although I supported and still support PMB, I do not really think he takes Southern Nigeria very seriously. Look at his first 40 appointments. But we Southern Nigerians have ourselves to blame.

obailala:
Learn to stop tribalising every single issue, that's the simple message I've been trying to pass all along.

Agreed, Have a good evening.

obailala:
I give up on you... Okay, Ambode demolished the market purely to punish Igbos because he hates Igbos. In fact his hatred for Igbos was amplified when Igbos failed to vote for him. Ambode will even do anything humanly possible to punish and punish the Igbos until he completely cripples every Igbo business and sends Igbos out of Lagos. Ambode is a terrible diabolic Yoruba man whose hatred for Igbos transcends human understanding and he will never rest until he sees Igbos completely annihilated.

Obviously the above narrative is the sort of story you just want to hear over and over again. It is sweet melody to your soul, nothing else gives more pleasure to your heart and it even gives you intense orgasms. There you go with the exact thing you want to hear.. Good night!

What is your problems now? You and I were having a good discussion as to what divides us and Why. We were airing out the arguments and counter argument then all of a sudden you flip. Ambode is a public figure, a politician and attack on him or his policies is FAIR game. It is NOT necessarily an attack on Yoruba people. DONT CONFUSE the two.

I am a business man myself and I understand business and economics. When you destroy peoples goods it is a DIRECT hit on their bottom line. In Nigeria we dont ( or hardly have insurance) so those goods are lost. Some people owe on those goods. SO now you have let them destitute and debtors too.

You are an intelligent person ( not one of these thugs, devoid of logic in their brains that come here to shout insults) - at least from from your post I can see that. Yoruba and Igbo are badly hurting themselves and that road is a DEAD END. I myself supported Buhari because I felt that Jonathan was WEAK and ineffective leader. GO research my posts here on NL from during the election if you doubt me.

SO attacking the governor is NOT attacking Yoruba. I hate that he has impoverished all the OSHODI traders whom happen to ne majority IGBO.

dapsylee:
To the best of my knowledge, that market was supposed to be demolished in 2007 when Gov. Fashola demolished the one almost opposite LASTMA office.
I am proudly a Yoruba man and the way the igbos cry foul play at every incident is annoying!
These guys had 8 years to relocate and never did.
The Average Yoruba man or Hausa man cannot try this in Aba... and they'll come to Lagos and call Lagos a no man's land.

Your post half made sense till the very end.
You started off good arguing with little emotion until the end you show your true feelings which then negates your argument.
So you have shown your hand with that last statement.

To that last statement I say the reality is Igbos are Nigerians. You are no more Nigerian than them. They have every right to live and work in LAGOS, NIGERIA - the former federal capital.
Likewise you can too in ABA. You can accept that reality or continue to be annoyed all you want. Your choice.

The issue for me is SIMPLE - AMBOdes destruction of Igbo people Capital by the government of the day WITHOUT compensation. Look at the topic of this thread if you forgot. This act is DONE in bad faith. Why not let the people come back so they can have an opportunity to at least move their wares?
Do you know that these people have families to feed?

obailala:
And you hold on tightly to the words of one probably drunk ex-policeman as a very reasonable justification to sustain a tribal feud against an entire tribe?... and you claim you know the negative effect of this feud?... very interesting!

Notice at the very beginning of our conversation today that I told you SOME Yoruba people. Not ALL. I gave you examples of some of the Leaders actions that are dividing us. E.g. Ambode destroying Igbo investments under whatever guise he claims is a very negative action indeed. Big Loss of capital for Igbos.

Ambode should strive to be SEEN as a leader for ALL.

When we point these things out, SOME Yorubas call us foreigners in our own country.

obailala:
Oh so you even know Igbos and Yorubas are hurting themselves with this madness even while the north enjoys the spoils?... Interesting!

I had no idea some of you who fuel this needless tribal feud are actually aware of this fact. Wow!

I too think it is madness. Stupid. Northerners are smiling to the bank at our expense. But like I said thank your OBA and his agents for starting it
