For the 1st time since the return to democracy, PDP is being matched in the struggle to dominate Bayelsa politics.

This is a good development for Bayelsa, but PDP is not familiar with such competition, hence the jitters.

As for the OP, lie small small.

excel4us:
this simply hate on igbos. am afraid it woun't be long.where,when and how was Ojukwu arrested?I pity you honestly cox hate woun't stop the IGBOS

He was actually arrested being an NPN party man. All top political leaders of both the ruling NPN and the opposition parties, and almost all top office holders at the national and state levels were arrested at the onset of the Buhari regime.

However, like Buhari said that the mum should not worry not, he and some others were set free by the truth as the Buhari government did not press any charges.

christopher123:
Why are Yoruba abusive ? For the singular fact that I did not agree with your submission this is what is resulting to insults from your angle

So much maturity



But ajayi crowther is creole ...do Yoruba bear the surname crowther ....the creoles in Nigeria bear foriegn names like Macaulay , savage , Williams etc

These are not yoruba surnames


A man origin is known from his surname


Keep insulting

Bye

Why are you this daft?

You have not refuted the fact that Ajayi Crowther was born and bred in Yoruba land before being captured into slavery?

Does the adoption of a name change a man's ethnicity?

Is it not on record that his ship had even yet to sail before he was rescued by the British who then sent him to live in Sierra Leone among the creoles?

As for the creoles, the Yorubas among them even returned to Yorubaland, while some remain there in Sierra Leone retaining their Yoruba identity underneath the larger Creole identity.

So how much more a boy who departed the Yoruba shores a freeman?

It is the hurt that a Yoruba taught the Igbo how to read and write their own language. What a shame.

Seriously, I get your pain. Sorry!

christopher123:
But he didn't apologize to his Yoruba people ....he knew them and their antics


So he respected the igbo and apologize accordingly.. Don't u think so

Because they did not cry victimisation, they did not require it.

Please keep talking. I like how you are coming out of the closet, revealing what we had long known that the Igbo man loves his ego to be massaged. I have quoted this for future reference so as to judge people by the standards they have set themselves.

All cries of marginalization are empty and futile attempts to be rewarded without merit.

Prof Itse Sagay was right afterall.

christopher123:
But at the end of the day he is a creole

It seems am arguing with a down syndrome patient.

I reckon I'm also Ghanaian or from the Middle East having visited those places among other countries?


I have already refuted your claim for the benefit of the viewing public. I am not trained to educate the mentally handicapped.

I best ignore you, lest I begin to wallow in idiocy.

christopher123:
But fashola deported Yoruba also to ekiti and some hausas also....that incident is still fresh but he only apologised to igbos and called others bluff


I live in Lagos so I know these things


Don't make it seems its only igbos that was deported

Yes he apologized if they felt offended but he did not regret his actions because it was not informed by any tribal victimisation and it was necessary.

Now that you also know this as you've admitted above, try educate those who spread such propaganda.

christopher123:
But he is still a creole and if creole descent

He is a Yoruba boy from Iseyin and if he was born in Iseyin and died in Lagos, then he is a Yoruba ambassador.

I reckon he is also British for living there, and also Igbo too for residing there?

christopher123:
But ajayi is creol not a yoruba sir

Creole because he identified as part of Sierra Leone's freed slave contingent.

In Ajayi Crowther's case, he was a full blooded Yoruba boy who's slave ship was intercepted at port. He was rescued and sent to Sierra Leone before being trained in Britain.

So his identity as creole is because he was resident there in freetown with returnee African slaves of which Yorubas were still a significant population.

Hafter1:
Bro, I saw a news here yesterday when some Yoruba traders were complaining that the alternative is not good for them. When it was pointed out that there are Yorubas and other tribe in that market, Some Eboes here said they have bounce back already and dont care.

When T.A Orji demolish market, then its a good development, if Obiano demolish market then he is the best governor in Nigeria. If Ambode demolish market then he hates Eboe. Hypocrisy runs in there blood.

Don't mind them. I have learnt to treat them according to the standards they set for themselves. However they expect that they should be specially regarded for any plans the Lagos state government has.

Lagos state government will continue to execute its development plan without any special regard for the Igbos. If they want special regard, let them get it from Theodore Orji who they rewarded with a senatorial ticket for the markets he demolished in Abia state.

SonOfEl:
Even in this new year, you still have not being cured of your bigotry. Always looking for excuses to justify your madness. Am ready for you and your type this year..

**loading my e-ammunition**

I have only held you up to the standard you set. That is how much I love the Igbos.

LMFashions:
Why was there an uproar then if their respective State governments were duly notified of their repatriation?

Bros leave this talk. What is evil make sure you call it evil. Stop your attempt at trying to justify this demolition.

Because Peter Obi thought it was good for the politics of getting Obiano elected ahead of APC's Ngige.

The records are there if you want to see it. It was released on this very forum then. Also records showing that Peter Obi also relocated destitutes before Fashola did. I suspect communication broke down when the governors became entrenched in 2 opposing camps during the Nigerian Governors Forum crisis that Jonathan instigated but eventually led to his sack.

I will always justify any demolition that creates a better Lagos. Various notices were given so I do not sympathise with the stubborn regardless of their tribe.

LMFashions:
Then why not simply tell them there are no longer welcomed in Lagos or better still do what they know how to do best, bundle them and their goods to head bridge. Why destroy their goods? WHY??

Lagos state has never relocated any economically active immigrant resident in Lagos.

As an aftermath of raids done to dislodge miscreants from the streets and under the bridges, and to clamp down on street hawking, many were found not to hold any residence in Lagos. Neither could they get any one resident in Lagos to come bail them into their custody.

Lagos simply did what Anambra had done in the past with Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom destitutes, just as Akwa Ibom also did to Lagos destitutes.
Lagos began relocating the destitutes back to their state of origin and most recent abode. They were sent back to states in the North, to Osun and Ondo state too.

The ones meant for Anambra state had been communicated to the state government who also replied. When communication broke down later on between the 2 states, Fashola took the bull by the horn and rid Lagos state of Anambra's problem just like Peter Obi did for Anambra state previously to the admiration of Anambra residents.


So try erase the notion that Lagos state goes into someone's home or legitimate business abode and relocates them back to their state of origin due to hatred.

LMFashions:
Oh really? Evil is in your blood.

Does that justify not giving them adequate quit notice, giving the crazy 21-day quit notice during xmas when most of them traveled and stopping those who wants to go take their goods from doing so?

Say amen to this prayer. "May you receive in 100holds whatever you wish the Igbos". Can you?

I have no evil but I believe I should judge others by their own standards. The 2 instances I gave are very apt in this matter.

As for the notice given, everyone who knows that market knows that it's been planned for relocation years ago. Discussions and notices have happened numerous times in the past. The state government has confirmed that it had given another notice 3 months ago. I trust the Lagos state government to have its record for that claim.

Any claim that they got 21days notice only means the last notification was 21days to the demolition. Does that erase the earlier notices?

Yet some still lied that they never got notices at all?

LMFashions:
Are you guys just daft or just simple mischievous? A market of 2000-5000 traders and you are given them 600 shops. Even at that why a short quit notice and also why stopping those who were ready to remove their things from removing it?

People always shout that Lagos is overpopulated.

What exactly were 2000-5000 traders doing in that little space in Oshodi?

If the new market will accommodate just 600 traders, then let the rest find other markets in other states where they are welcome. Not everybody likes the chaotic environment that others seem to require to thrive.

Lagos state is saying we don't need the extra baggage, but you say you want to trade in Lagos by force. Does economic refugee ring a bell?

I thought Lagos was making its big IGR from Igbo traders and not the big industries?

Yet 5000 minus 600 traders (4400) need another market to accommodate them. I wonder what Kettykin has in place for those among them who are Igbos?
He has always been a proponent of Igbos divesting from Lagos and moving to the East or Abuja.

Now imagine all Igbo traders in Nigeria returning to the East?

Nothing but chaos and anarchy.

Kettykin would then quietly make himself scarce.

LMFashions:
Many idiiots will come out to shout "how were the Igbos being targeted?" If they were not being targeted why were those who wanted to take their wares out denied?

I get this is Buhari's subtle way of destroying all imported items in the country. Buhari GOD will judge you ooo.

Maybe the other tribes were allowed to take their own goods out?

Funny, an Igbo dude here once beat his chest that Igbos decide who gets what in Lagos. One of many reason why I have no empathy when government decides how Lagos is developed.

Another Igbo dude was reminded some years ago here that he had not condemned a certain demolition of markets in Abia State. He retorted saying as long as it was done by his tribesman, it was certainly done with good intentions for the state.

I also believe this demolition was done with good intentions for my state, which will not have any recourse to another tribe's opinion on the matter.

you mean the lagos many troop daily to live in? Well lagos is where our oil money is stationed and we will continue to troop it until our whole oil money which was used to develop and still developing lagos is dried......... No mercy....

I will remind your refugee king that was flogged in Akure that he is actually living in Lagos.

The waste that many troop daily from the East to live in.

Anyway, obviously I can detect a spammer make I comot for here. Eeewww

Ok! Safe journey to sanity.

I will stay here and cure their craze.

Udmaster:
the thrashy talk of an idiot who has been flogged in an argument.

You want me to rejoice with you over achievements made by Igbo women in the 21st century?

Don't you know that Yoruba women had long achieved greater firsts in the 1st half of the 20th century, and more in the 2nd half of that century?

Well if Igbo men could play catchup, why should we expect a better performance from the females.

You are the catchup tribe. It is your glory so just accept it and go to bed. Try not to wake-up in the morning before a Yoruba man ooo, because there's no recognition for that.

totit:
I don't deal with recent news, ibo made


Read up
1882 == Crowther wrote Vocabulary of the Ibo Language, the first comprehensive dictionary in Igbo. In 1883 Crowther and Schon jointly revised it and added more words. They finally came out with Vocabulary of the Ibo Language, Part II, an English-Ibo dictionary. By this time, Igbo had had some 50 books and booklets published in it (Oraka p. 27).


Read history, fact below
: http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00fwp/igbo/igbohistory.html

But why did a Yoruba man teach these dudes how to read and write their own language?

History can really be wicked to the tribally arrogant.

saxywale:
ok. Seems like while some are leading, the others are playing a catch up game.

Are you asking again?

The most revered Igbo scholar, Achebe had already admitted that long ago.

Their new love FFK had also schooled them on some manners a short time ago. Instead of facing the main message about their lack of a cultural or academic history, they all rallied against him over the 3 Igbo flings he had in the past because one of them became their de facto queen.

When the dust finally settled with all sorts of ultimatums gone by without FFK retracting his statement about the flings, they conceded and gifted him with another Igbo concubine.

Weedcrusher:
Yoruba sons and daughters on this forum. I urge you not to pay attention to the igbos on this forum. They are suffering from ADHD. The only time you reply them is when you slap them with facts. They are habitual noise makers and notice me people.
I challenge any igbo son or daughter to come up with your kinsmen achievement, and I will mention over 10 yoruba achievements with facts

It is better to address the Igbo challenge with 4 times more venom than they spew.

I only whipped the idiot trolling me just with a few lines, and he started speaking tribal gibberish and wailing out loud to his tribes men living in the same yard with him. Now imagine if I had brought out my full arsenal, he would have called the ICC for succour.

Udmaster:
the thrashy talk of an idiot who has been flogged in an argument.

Hey! A Yoruba man has just seen a falling star, won't you quickly go look for yours in the sky?

Udmaster:
it is a yoruba man that started this thread.

When an Igbo man cannot belch after his morning meal, it is the fault of the Yoruba man.

The OP is wondering why his foolish brother would easily deny him.

Udmaster:
Mkpi ohia.
An Igbo Man was the First Vice Chancellor of University Of Ibadan, University of Lagos and Yabatech.
- Imo State have the highest number of Professors in Nigeria while Anambra lead in highest literate rate in Nigeria
I deal with facts and Not Lagos-Ibadan expressway media propaganda.

Ajayi Crowther really tried for the Igbos. Would a bushman without a language primer have assumed such academic positions?

Udmaster:
Biko Nu, StOla said that a yoruba man was once Chairman of World Health Organisation.
-They Have Started Their FALSE PROPAGANDA AGAIN O

An Igbo man is crying for your attention, please come to the aid of your brother.

Udmaster:
No Yoruba have been chairman of W.H.O. Stop dis propaganda
you avoided my question..
Go back to my former post and answer the question you illiterate.

Go back to the 1st post and acknowledge your brother who is the OP.

You guys just love stirring up trouble, when you are whipped into line you begin to cry for ICC to come help you out.

You started a thread, now you will soon begin to plead for mercy.

Udmaster:
you avoided my question..
Go back to my former post and answer the question you illiterate.

Look at a catchup clansman calling me a Yoruba boy illiterate.

I'm sure my educated greatgrandfather had an Igbo cook those days in Lagos Island. I bet he was magnanimous enough to teach him how to speak and write English.

Even Ajayi Crowther taught the bushmen from the East how to structure their own language by constructing their primer so they can be literate.

Udmaster:
shut ur thrash up. It is a yoruba man lyk u that started this thread.. You dustbin product.
You people are obsessed with IGBOS.
- FYI, have ur tribe produced a Sec.Gen of the World Commonwealth? Or World Bank VP and Treasurer?
Just shut up, go and eat ur tasteless gberi-gberi.. Anuofia, Agadi Nwoke na Agwo Ofe, Mkpi Ohia, Uchu, Aturu mee.

Has your tribe produced the head of World Health Organisation?


I'm so happy it hurt you to see the truth.

You have shown us your dic.k, and I have shown you that it's been weighed, it's been measured, and it's been found wanting.

kingdompropty:
I have followed the politics thread of NL for sometime now and ofcourse no boring moments, trust me I put up some of their recent achievements. I leave you to add yours and judge which is cat and which is rat.

1. A Yoruba woman made deputy sheriff in a US city and three Ibo made Judge, Prosecutor and Deputy Mayor in New Jersey.

2. Yoruba language introduced as a pre requisite for crime and law enforcement, 3 Ibos made assembly members in Uk.

Add yours.

Yoruba Judges in the US.

Igbos too have finally caught up true to fashion.

The Igbo man has always loved to compare himself to a Yoruba standard, while Yorubas just keep on setting standards for the rest of Africa.

Talk about catching up?

Yorubas became lawyers, Igbos are now lawyers too.

Yorubas became doctors, Igbos are now doctors too

Yorubas became engineers, Igbos are now engineers too.

Yorubas became bankers, Igbos are now bankers too.

Yorubas became judges in UK and USA, An Igbo man has finally become a Judge too in the USA.

Soyinka became 1st African Nobel Laureate, Igbos say it is irrelevant, once an Igbo gets awarded it would become mighty relevant.

This is what Achebe termed as the East catching up with the West.

The West remains a reference to development globally.

East Germany trying to measure up to West Germany before the unification.
Western Europe trying to pull Eastern Europe out of the 3rd world.

Did a Yoruba man not recently become a key Obama staff? Deputy National Security Adviser?

One day, God willing, the Igbos will catch up in this regard too.

OP, should I playback the piece that FFK once wrote about the Igbos before you gave him your sister so he could hush up?
