I am igbo, and am proud of prof soyinka's literary strides. Kudos to him. For us who belongs to be brotherhood of the pen, we celebrate our own irrespective of tribe or race.

As much as I have ample respect for this woman,she just has to shut up.It would have better served the populace if she said this during jonathan's tenure.

how old are you? You just barge into a thread and defaecate. Or if you are mature as at 2012 do you have amnesia? Didnt NOI call for subsidy removal but it was rejected, since then she has being managing the situation, now you and your immature type would come here and spew trash.

Crying over high taxes is one thing, but claiming it was designed specifically to hurt and take away money specifically from ibo people is another thing. Go back to your village or relocate to where they don't pay taxes...

Pay your fair share or go to the courts with your cries or just move to wherever else they don't pay taxes like your village...




Any government that doesn't tax or regulate your lawless ways is a friendly government of course.

Only the elites send their children to schools built with tax collections?

Only elites benefit from the 30 skills centers built by taxpayers?

Only the elites seek treatment from all the hospitals, clinics and health centers built by taxpayers?

Only the elites drive on roads and bridges built with taxpayers money?

Only elites collects paychecks from the state government as civil servants?

Only elites enjoy the parks and recreation centers built by the government?

What have they built for you in your villages where they don't cater to elites? Nothing? When was the last time they built 1 single classroom in your states combined? Since independence I'm sure.


You people come up with the most senseless and illogical nonsense.


Again, you people are not socially developed enough to live in a sane, orderly and lawful society hence constituting nuisance everywhere you go...

its obvious your rants are getting the better of you. The good people of igboland are doing well in diaspora, so keep biase to yourself, igboland is doing well despite many years of govt marginalisation, it is you and your type that are pathetic in trying to slow the igbos, but you can never succeed. Policy my foot, na today? 20pounds policy by awo comes to mind, 'all is fair in war' policy by the same awo, indigenization policy too, policies that favour elitism and a few crumbs for the people is no policy at all. Lekki toll comes to mind, multiple taxation comes to mind, lasu school fees hike comes to mind, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE FOOLING? Lagos is for all, not for yorubas alone, you can as well go back to your own village 'cos i know you are not an indigene of lagos.

aresa:
You obviously did not read the article before commenting.

1. In what way or ways were you discriminated against?

2. Every soul living and conducting business/s in Lagos is subjected to the same manner of taxation so why are you people shouting all over the place that the state is over taxing you and taking your money away from you?

Obey the law and quit asking for preferential treatment. Thinking they are hunting you down just to dodge your social and civic responsibilities is antisocial and criminal.

3. What state agency was created to target ibo people specifically? Do you mind naming that agency and what laws the agency function under?

Please keep quiet if you have nothing better to say...

seriously, you have a cognitive deficiency. WE PAY OUR TAX AND KEEP TO GOVT POLICIES, BUT WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT CHALLENGE ANY NEW TAX REGIME AND POLICY BY GOVT, AFTERALL WE ARE PART OF THE ELECTORATE TOO IN LARGE NUMBERS.

Govt policy should be people-friendly, NOT ELITIST. Both the poor, average, and rich built lagos, so save your tinubu elitist agenda in the name of govt policy and regulation...shioor!

If you like vex, we all own lagos together. Lagos, NIGERIA's COMMERCIAL CAPITAL na OUR OWN, not for yorubas alone. This is one nigeria, deal with it!

aresa:
This rubbish is tire, worn out and played out. Only you people believe your own warped and imaginary tales...

...then stop crying over another man's issues, got it? Most educated tribe my foot...

aresa:
Look in the mirror for the meaning of illiterate.

All over the world apart from you people in Lagos Nigeria, people obey government laws and policies. Laws and policies reflects collectively on the general populace without 1 single section always crying, moaning, demanding preferential treatment and constantly saying laws and policies are designed to punish them because if their tribe.


You people are not socially developed enough to live lawfully, peacefully and harmoniously with other people.

aresa, you are simply not making any sense at all. What laws and policies did we break? Does the law include bowing to oba of lagos' whims and caprices? Did we evade taxation? What point are you trying to make? We are not fools. Manage you inferiority complex pls, its eating you up big time

aresa:
[s][/s]


But the same GDP and economic capital was made possible by prudent and dedicated Yoruba people and the laws and policies they put in place that makes it possible for you and your people to prosper peacefully. Respect and obey their laws and quit being lawless and anti social.

Btw, why do you people think asking you to act like human beings and respect basic laws and policies that the rest of the society abides by means jealousy? Jealous what exactly? Jealous of some lawless and anti social people who can not survive and earn a living in the imaginary DUBAI villages and must troop all over the place for their daily bread?

Empty and shallow chest beating is boring and nauseating...

if our 'chest beating' is boring and nauseating, why the hell do you still care to know? Why cant you just leave us and our 'chest beating' alone?
And fyi, policies made by the state govt aint different from that of other states, if there are, its little. In EVERY state in Nigeria asides southeast, the igbo are THE MOST ENTERPRISING NON-INDIGENES from kebbi to jos to osun to akwaibom down to lagos, take it leave it, its not pride, its a fact, a known one for that matter by sincere observers.

Your tribe claim to be the most educated, have you taken time to look into it other singing igbo here and there? You biase is legendary.

aresa:
With this thoughtless and selfish article and topic, it's obviously the other way around.

You people think other people owe you special treatment and privileges.


When they make laws to benefit the society, you think it was done to do you harm and you must be exempted while the rest of the society obeys.

You do nothing but make endless and unrealistic demands even in places and instances where you failed and refused to contribute show any kind of support.

And please explain to us the sense and wisdom in crying and moaning everyday about other people and the the laws and policies they put in place to better their society? Why not just stay in your own towns and villages and make it better for you to exist and survive in with your own laws to function under instead of holding other people back, holding them to mental emotional ransom with your cries and expectations of preferential treatment?

Just look at the last elections, you voted for the same crooked, unproductive and incompetent people, you call them nasty and derogatory names, you spewed your usual religious and tribal bigotry nonsense, but exactly what did you do after the elections? Only you showed up with your usual selfishness, unnecessary demands and flawed sense of entitlements as if they owe you something.


Look in the mirror and change your ways...

words from a biased and insecured mind... What grouse do you have with igbos ogbeni? Cant you be truthful even for 1second? Lagos is nigeria's economic capital with the highest gdp, igbo play a huge role in this reputation AND YOU KNOW IT! oba of lagos' fears are real because igbos entreprenueral presence is huge, from white collar jobs to street hustle. So try not to allow your jealousy and insecurity eat you up. We have every right to speak out our choice candidate, we dont have it in our DNA to obey a king's wish unlike your tribe, and we owe no apology for that. With all your hate, we are still making it big. Deal with it.

Igbo men are dull yet we are heavyweights in all spheres of life. Your yoruba brothers have alot to learn from us, esp in caring for our loved ones and selling ice to an eskimo, and pls, learn to mind your business and stop snooping around igbo threads. Lekwe izuzu...

Let me educate you small... Your head get small oil... No be all those dull flat head wey I dey meet always.

The violent against the Igbos up north before the civil war didn't start because Igbos were peacefully living there...

It all started when Aguyi Ironsi and his fellow greedy Igbo men took over power killing many of the northern leaders like Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello...The Igbos up north in their usual lousy wreckless manner took to the street dancing and jubilating all night to the consternation of their Hausa host...it didn't take long before a counter coup was staged that took the lives of many Igbo leaders in the army including Ironsi and his host Fajuyi... A Yoruba man that prefer to die with Ironsi...

The Hausas didn't forget or forgive the Igbos for celebrating the killings of their leaders in their home land hence used the opportunity to unleash a kind of terror never before experienced in the history of the country on any Igbo man they can lay their hands on.

Thousands of body bags of Igbos arrived the east in quick succession, this led to serious agitation that gave birth to the stupid dream of a Biafra state led by a coward called ojokwu.

Did Igbos learn anything from the civil war? I don't think so... The Igbos have instead shown many ethnic sentiment in every thing they more than any other tribes in Nigeria.. Reasons Hausas and Yorubas don't like them.

1. They are still keen about the Biafra project. Living in two countries at once is the peak of confusion afecting the the Igbo nation. Many see them as group of unfaithful citizen working against the prosperity of the Nigerian nation to actualize their dream.

2. Wherever they do business they usually wants to dorminate their host. They want minister of FCT in Abuja because they claim to have 70%business in the FCT. They claim lagos was no mans land because the Yorubas showed them love...

3. They have strong penchant for rewarding failure (supporting Stella Oduah, and GEJ)

fake version...we know the true version dating back to the 40s and 50s when igbos are being attacked by the northerners due to fear of domination...so your version is adulterated.

Your understanding of what vocabulary means is seriously flawed, though You appear educated and communicate better than many illiterate Igbo men on this thread... yet education cannot cure all ignorance.. .without the Igbos, Nigeria wouldn't have fought a senseless civil war. May be you are too far away from reality to know that Igbos have running conflicts in lagos, kano and portharcourt... that they ostracized themselves from the political balance in Nigeria because of perceived animosity against the Yorubas and Hausas.

abduljabbar4:
You have forgotten about pdps campaign in the east. You have forgotten all the insults the Yorubas and the Hausas received. For Gods sake this is not a presidential election go back to your states and vote. You HATE APC and they the Yorubas want to choose their preferred candidates and you are trying to stop them because of your hatred for the party

plus or minus, you cant dictate who i vote for whether directly or indirectly.
Go to the east, non-indigenes that pay their taxes there do not get dictated to, on who to vote for.
Why tackling igbos only when there are other non-indigenes, living, working, and campaigning here in lagos?
Democracy is my entitlement even here in lagos, no threat will coerce me, neither will the later damage control, will manipulate my entitlement, which is my democratic franchise.

[size=16pt]igbos never learn. its about performance not tribe...... Until you people get mentally and politically mature, leadership is not for you..... Even the middle belt will get there before you guys...... ( Your ethnic bias in this election has revealed the content of your character, and the content of your character isn't for the general good because your judgement is clouded with hatred and tribalism).....

Only few igbo men are trusted enough to rule, Okorocha.... The rest are not going anywhere. ...[/size]

there are millions of igbos and yorubas out there unaware of this e-madness. So to you only few igbos are worthy to rule- thank God for the good yoruba friends i have that voted for,and also against gej, that are matured in discussing politics. You are too insignificant to tempt me into downplaying the yorubas. SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR LIKES, BE THEY IGBO, YORUBAS, ETC. SHAME ON BIGOTRY.

O.P. STOP DEMONIZING AND MISREPRESENTING IGBOS. EVERYONE VOTED A CANDIDATE FOR DIVERSE REASONS, SO STOP THE HATE.

[size=14pt]From GEJ till 2019 to Gej has made African history. Ichidodo you should bury your head in shame. The time you wasted on nairaland to defend GEJ back then would have made your life more better if you channeled it towards your intellectual development.

I will never praise him for congratulating someone he lost to. That is the last card on his table just to appear as a legendary leader before people like you. He is a failed president and will forever live with the stigma of the 1st Nigerian incumbent to loose an election.

He ensured there was peace because he was part of the crew that ousted Gbagbo. He knew the international criminal court will come for him if things went wrong.

He chose the best option of returning to Otueke to enjoy his loot rather than spend the rest of his life in jail like Gbagbo[/size]

shame on you and your likes. Gej sued for peace in gbagbo's case because that is who he is, a man of peace. He has shown example by following peace in his case too. I know something about how he finished his tenure PRICKS YOUR SADISTIC HEART. Sorry is your name.

hatred and bigotry is a disease. Apc propaganda at work. If una like, mk una no use am, hypocrites! With or without kano, GEJ IS WINNING!

i believe this issue is deeper than it is being narrated...trust me... The story is incomplete fr6 head to tail.
