funnyx: Lie from the pit of hell! Some of you guys are just too desperate to play victim for cheap propaganda just like achebe did in his last book which is full of lies and misrepresentation of facts.

percipi1: My dear friend, I will beg you to leave the thread for one simple reason, you are not going to meet any rational person to debate with you. Achebe appears to be a god to many a contributor, so even if Achebe could not substantiate his alleged facts with evidence, these apologist will expect you to agree with such flawed reasoning, and if you disagree, you will either be called an igbophobe or some unprintable names. I have had my fair share of these tribal vermins. I will advise you not to waste your time. I know you speak fact. However , we cannot enjoy a robust debate on this issue where tribal bigots swim about. Kind regards

ba7man: No problem dear. Your name shows you're Igbo but frankly i have nothing against Igbos. But as with every tribe, there are two kinds. (1) The nice, de-tribalized ones, there are a lot that grew up in Lagos and i see them as Lagosians. (2) The lousy, dumb, boastful ones that utter statements that can put the whole tribe in trouble. I guess its hate stories told to them about the civil-war that has transcended generations.

ba7man: I thought the Igbos were responsible for making Lagos what it?? Oh, now its the colonials. You guys have a false impression of yourselves. Apart from Ladipo,Computer Village and Alaba market, your perceived dominance ends....Places Fashola is even planning to destroy and re-Construct. Just be thankful we're good hosts and move on with life, if Lagos was in the north and the Northerners read all you say on NL, just pack your bags and run cuz lives will definitely be lost.

ba7man: Lagos has been before the Igbos mass emigrated to it and will be after you leave. Those businesses you leave behind will be taken over by people that recognize the opportunity of your absense......and frankly, Lagos needs to be de-populated, so feel free to leave.

django1: ^^^the question that comes to mind then is that why is igboland still backward with all the igbos of the world in it?

You mean little to lagos, stop your unneccessary arrogance!

django1: First, ibadan is mega right now, at least in comparison to south eastern cities!

Secondly, haven't you heard of 'femi johnson' and 'aje' towers? Both are nothing less than 20 stories high, maybe you should visit IB sometimes and cure your ignorance!

topazjosh: you may be right to some extent,yea some bank branches may close down,but more better and strong establishments will be on ground,yea they will definately cause by then lots of ibos,hausas,fulanis,south southerners might have left,that's decrease in population,we actually need that,though ibo are not the only non indigenes doing business in lagos,stop claiming such false,lots of hausa,south southerners,meanwhile we still gonna have lots of foreigners allover the world residing in lagos,we yorubas will be happy having a more less stressful,clean lagos,with less social crimes,fake products,unnecessary over population,then lagos will be peaceful,meanwhile the mega city will still be the most developed city in africa and one of the world best.

4chi: Surprise? Ibos have always been boiboi to any group in power.shameless lots. Shame you no get. Ibos, once a major ethnic group of the Nigerian tripod now running errands for the ijaw, a completely new kid on the block.shows Ibos are bereft of any shame and they can bow for a cow in order to eat meat...

ijaw citizen: Everyone can see how empty you are. After I've defeated you in an argument, the next best line of action is to insult and attack my person. All the Igbos I've encountered on this forum surprisingly exhibit this putrid character, What a shame!

BlackBaron: Lol.

Surely there's got to be a smarter person than these 2 infants skirting around...

ijaw citizen: Keep fooling yourself by mixing up Ss & ND. My Niger Delta still stands and Ikwerre does not own all of PH. PH lga is not Obio/akpo lga. Ph LGA is jointly owned by Okrika & Ikwerre and the city does not have access to the sea. South of PH LGA is Okrika LGA & Bonny LGa, both Ijaw people. Ikwerre people have consistently denied being Igbo and traced their origin to Bini, so go and grind your axe with them, Ijaws got nothing to do with it.

For their Igboness, we would never allow them to be in the same Niger Delta with us in the future. Read thru' my posts again, I've never claimed Ikwerre to be part of the future Niger Delta. I only called them non-igbos as they've call themselves, attributes aside.

You keep claiming Ikwerre and PH being Igwe Ocha, a name the Ikwerre & Ijaw owners of PH have never called themselves but manufactured from Igboland. Go and cure you're land grabbing disease aka LANDLOCKOPHOBIA. Even after Ikwerre people agree to be Igbo with you, Igbos won't still have access to the sea.
What a pity....SMH..... The hard time Itsekiris are giving us is nothing compared to what Ikwerre people would do to you next time, abandoned property na small.

What a childish talk! Still on the usual Igbo day-dreaming,Okay! Read my signature and stop being foolish.

ZO00MBIE OOO ZOMBIE, ZO000MBie oooo z0mbie.

ijaw citizen: Oh how I enjoy reading the book of EXODUS....hmmm, my favourite! To start with, it would take a minor exodus or an earlier Edo exodus ( with ref. to Urhobo people) for Edo people to occupy those land while it would take a major EXODUS for Igbos to migrate across the Niger to occupy those lands. Simple logic!

The Asaba (anoicha) area you're talking about is regarded as the purest Igbo stock across the Niger yet Edo history and culture is rampant even across to the Igbo mainland in th SE. You're just beating around the bush, my earlier point still holds. What about the Igbanke, Ndokwa, Ika & Idoani people? You are all bunch of Edo people who accommodated wandering Igbos and the best of you know the real history so just keep quiet.

I'd have schooled you further by educating you about the ORU IGBOS but you're not worth it It a shame on Igboland they don't value human life. Why would a right thinking person sell their innocent 11 years old son, he was sold by his Igbo family to Ijaw people for some bottle of ogogoro. Ijaws nortured that young man an gave him a purpose in life now you're back here to claim an Ijaw property, or did we not purchase him. Jaja is an Ijawman who loves & served his Ijaw people. We bought him and made him who he is today so stopping claim what you've already sold or do you still wanna sell more?

ngozievergreen: Guy, let there be republic of alaigbo and we will be d happiest group in d world. Let me not mince words with u. U refused to mention the human resource contribution of yorubas to Nigeria. Ur elites are all ex-convicts, till den. .......

dayokanu: The one and only NOBEL Laureate

ijaw citizen: It is a pity that you igbo boys can't read btw a simple paragraph to comprehend the fccking meaning. SS is not Niger Delta, Ijaw did not create SS nor are we lording over fellow N/deltans. SS is just a political creation made up of artificial lines and Ijaws got nothing to do with its creation. Igbos are not in the Niger Delta, so couldn't be in a Niger Delta republic. ND republic is for the non-igbo & non-yoruba people of Southern Nigeria.

This analysis is so shallow and pathetic!
Are we talking about who is more southernly or more easternly now? is that the criteria for measuring who is a Niger deltan? Nobody is claiming the 'so called Igbos' in the SS, they still don't have access to the ocean. You will keep bleeping from now til forever, Igbos will forever be landlocked, That's what God has decreed for you!

BlackBaron: Talk about selective amnesia.

Didnt know the norm now is to report unsubstantiated reports as facts.
This was meant to be his own 'personal'account - no?
Or is it now a 'Third person report?' Lest you know 'Words are very powerful (especially from a renowned writer like Chinua) Therefore, it is important to use them truthfully, accurately, and responsibly.' Reporting... of 'information requires both factual and accurate presentation.'

All other claims were shown with reference, yet a weighty issue as genocide with blame pointing to others is reported without fact.

You sound like an absolute idiot, they say the truth is indeed bitter. I critique a piece of his work now means I dislike Chinua or did you see me dilly dallying over the posthumous title conferred by some as the 'Father of African literature' title. Please go dig up my comments from the controversial Hall of Shame thread last year.

Ola Johnson: Your case has gone beyond hand. You should be quickly moved to Yaba left or Aro, Abeokuta.

dayokanu: The part that would suffer most is the part that cant stay in their own region

The part with red barren clay soil

The part where every adult must flee from if they want to make it in life

The part that car parks every January looks like there is a war going on

The part that visiting the South West is like going to America

The part where the indigenes are afraid to live for fear of being kidnapped and eaten

The part whose governor even had a Special adviser on Lagos affairs

The part that would end up being land locked.

The part that struggles to attache to the South South by force

Ola Johnson: I'll only reply you when you get your senses. From what is coming out of your mouth, you took more than you were supposed to take. Overdose could be dangerous, you know?

Ola Johnson: You're indeed "wise" as your people always claim, not wanting to debate but to be engaged in insults.

Ola Johnson: I've not insulted you, like you do to other people. I only told you what your comments portray you as. I'm waiting and will engage you in a debate. If you resort to insult, I'll leave you to heaping it on yourself.

Ola Johnson: If you've read the interview and are still saying this, it means you have a probem - bigotry. Think about it.

funnyx: Your can keep barking for all I care it obviously change nothing especially as your anger cannot be transmitted on a faceless forum To disagree that Achebe is not the father of African literature does not translate to being anti Achebe.
Also to disagree on Igbo traditional system of govt does not translate to beibg anti igbo. All you need to do is to provide him with your evidence and debate rather than barking and being abusive . Unfortunately you cannot hit me online I can simply choose to ignore whatever you post back simples.

Ola Johnson: This thread has been infested by illiterates who were probably taught by the same people that "taught" the ESUT FOUR. It is a show of illiteracy for you to say a person whose stand is different from yours is a bigot.

funnyx: Can't you make your point without being abusive? Must every poster agree with your point of view? You call someone a bigot but judging by your posts you're bigotry personified. I just hope you are not like this in real life

percipi1: Are you that thick? What does my running a private library got to do with you. If you have problem understanding people, its okay to ask question, it does not diminish your intelligence. But if you get annoy just because someone has something you don't , its a serious problem.

percipi1: I do not think we need to debate the criteria for the system of governments that is acceptable in civilised climes. You just need a text book on Government or political science.. No where in the textbook is family representative authority as applicable in ancient Alaigbo considered a system of government.
