try harder. ibos have employed for yourobas in lagos than yourobas themselves

What is this one saying?

Because you are employing 5 to 7 boys from your village in the name of learning trade, so u think you an entrepreneur. Or which of your business is a major international player employing more Yorubas.

muktarl: i will keep coming out with the truth. that is the whole essence.

Bros you are just dumb. Dumbness personified. Nothing more nothing less.

Benilily: Mr "gullible, sheepish nd silly" xo we finally agreed on something... Loool

Madam at the top, we will always disagree to agree.

The Abia State government last year came up with an ingenious policy. All non-indigenous employees in the state public service, including teachers, were to be relieved of their duties because the government’s resources were meant for the indigenes. Over 80% of the people affected are from Imo, Ebonyi, Anambra and Enugu states. Most leaders maintained a conspiracy of silence on this policy which for long will remain one of the greatest impediments to Igbo unity. Abia State was actually treading the path of the Enugu State government which had in the late 1990s decided to sack all non-indigenes in the state’s public service in order to “save resources”. Almost every casualty is Igbo.



But a number of Igbo social activists have now suddenly found their voice. The overnight activists have created an unmistakable mass hysteria in both the social media and the traditional media over the bogey that Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has been “deporting” Igbo people from the state. Some politicians who are determined to make political capital out of the so-called repatriations have been busy simulating the hysteria. But perhaps, unbeknownst to these people, they are hurting in a most profound manner strategic Igbo interests. No people can survive—let alone—progress on a diet of lies and emotions, or by allowing politicians to create and sustain a culture of paranoia or siege mentality, otherwise called persecution complex.



The Lagos State government launched a few year ago an ambitious project to turn Lagos, Nigeria’s economic nerve centre with a population of some 16million, into a true mega city. This entailed, among other things, the enthronement of a new social order and a different aesthetic regime. Consequently, the state began to clear thousands of homeless people, beggars and urchins from the streets. Thus, a large number of “area boys” who are mostly Lagos Island indigenes, like the governor, are to this day still arrested and hounded into “Black Baria” trucks by Kick Against Indiscipline (KIA) officials. Borrowing a leaf from such places as New York and Hawaii, Lagos initiated a programme of returning many destitute individuals to their home states. Over 3,000 of such people have been relocated back to northern states where they have now been reintegrated with their families. When about 80 were sent to Oyo State in November, 2009, the governor screamed to the high heavens that “they were dumped on Molete “Bridge” in Ibadan.



About 14 destitute people from Anambra State were sent to Onitsha last week because of the failure of the State’s Ministry of Social Welfare to arrange for the arrival of these people , unlike those of Akwa Ibom and Katsina states which made proper logistic arrangements for their own people. A section of the media has since gone to town with the extremely dangerous propaganda that the Lagos State governor is driving Igbo people out of Lagos through “brazen deportations and repatriations”. Even professionals and scholars expected to be more thoughtful and strategic in their actions have capitulated so easily to the mind poisoning reports and have been responding exuberantly. A man who introduced himself as a professor from Nnewi called me on the phone on Thursday morning to assert with so much authority that “only Anambra indigenes are being targeted for expulsion from Lagos because all Nigerians know that Anambra is the leader of the Igbo nation”. A lawyer in Maryland, United States, wrote that Fashola dare not relocate beggars of northern extraction, alleging that the Igbo are the whipping boy of Nigerian politics. He is blissfully ignorant of the thousands of northern beggars taken away from Borno Street in Ebute Metta and environs.



How did the industrious, highly republican and intelligent Igbo people embrace, all of a sudden, this level of groupthink that has made us look like a people with unimaginable amnesia? Only last month, a very big plaza in Olodi, Apapa, belonging to Igbo entrepreneurs and housing hundreds of 1gbo traders was burnt at night. The next day Fashola was at the site and promised to rebuild it at the Lagos State expense. No Igbo governor has visited the place up to this moment, and none has promised to assist the victims. Last December, Ngozi Nwosu, an actress, was reported to be down with a serious liver ailment, so an appeal fund was launched. No Southeast government, including her home state of Imo State, responded, just as no wealthy Igbo men and women did. Only N1.5million out of 6m needed for treatment in the United kingdom, could be raised. Fashola provided the remaining N4.5m. And now some so-called Igbo activists are accusing him of anti-Igbo sentiments.



Two months ago, Fashola completed the biggest housing estate he has built and named it for Emeka Anyaoku, an erstwhile Commonwealth secretary general from Anambra State. At a time some Igbo people cannot be hired as teachers or civil servants in Southeastern states other those of those of their origin, Fashola recruits them in large numbers, with some becoming judges and magistrates. His Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Ben Akabueze, is from the Southeast. The chief executive of the state Infrastructure Maintenance and Regulatory Agency, Joe Igbokwe, is an engineer and publisher from Nnewi. Mac Duruigbo, from Imo State, is Fashola’s Personal Assistant on the Media.



Fashola gave Ikemba Nnewi practically a state burial last year in Lagos, the only non-Southeast governor to accord the famous Biafran leader this high honour. He was the only governor who attended last March the Chinua Achebe colloquium at Brown University in Rhode Island, United States, where he praised Achebe for his monumental achievements at a time the great writer was the butt of criticism by the Yoruba political establishment following Achebe’s unflattering remarks about Obafemi Awolowo in his new book, There Was A Country, a personal account of the Nigerian civil war. So, how did some of us come about the brainwave that the dynamic and cosmopolitan Lagos State governor is anti-Igbo? Simply because his government relocated some Igbo elements to their home state, some of whom came to Lagos to do business but instead took to hard drug consumption and became urchin, better known as “area boys”! Interestingly when Fashola began to crack down on “area boys”, most of whom are from his state, Igbo traders were over the moon, rejoicing that the governor had saved them from the miscreants of “area boys” who had for decades been tormenting the traders daily, extorting huge sums from them and viciously assailing those who refused with dangerous weapons.



There are more Igbo people in Lagos than any other state. There are so many investments in Lagos because Lagos has for long welcomed the Igbo people, enabling NdIgbo to prosper in Lagos more than any other state. And no governor in Nigeria’s history has demonstrated as much affection to our people as Fashola. Commonsense dictates we protect in a strategic manner the interests of our people and reciprocate the friendship of well meaning individuals and groups. It will be a colossal tragedy if we savour the dishes of salacious lies and terrible propaganda which we are being served by opportunistic politicians and garnished by hysterical Igbo social activists. We must be guided at all times by truth and reason.

muktarl: these are common sights in yourobaland. most if them are yourobas, some from the north and niger rep

You are just an irritant nonentity , attention seeking and attention deprived personality.

We do not have your time.

Benilily: very well spoken buh no need 2 insult d governor but blame d ibo peepz cuz they go 2 anoda undeveloped place nd develope it leaving their own state undeveloped.... I kw dat 4 sure nd m nt hapi bout dat..

Now u r talking pweety.

They should also not lay claim to another man's territory though they are a sakeholder but not the landlord.

Effort should be geared towards repatriating your resources to SE and the govs have a part to play by providing conducive environmentost especially basic infrastructures n security

muktarl: am in the east now, so i have to say what i have seen here. i used to reason like some of you until i left niger state to the east. ibos are wiser take or leave. i have seen their riches down east. they move all the money down east.

Who is this immatured baby talking. Do u think threads like this are for hollow heads

muktarl: ibos are into drugs. but when it comes to rituals, occultisom, inbreeding etc leave of the yourobas.

Obviously you are not current and exposed enough for me to be discussing with you.

Lemme concentrate my energy on pweety benilily.

muktarl: i have right as much as you to comment here. i cannot stand the lies you guys telling here. am in the east now, that is why i have something to contribute.

Oga create your thread And let us meet you there, if you know you are the true son of hadejia

plasgidy: we are not known to be beggers like other tribes in nigeria, igbos are very hard working ppl who like good life. iam not saying you can't find igbo begger on the street of nigeria, however the percentage will be very minimal an average igbo man is a trader by nature i dont know if you know this although i dont know your age. pls get me right sir thanx

Very hardworking indeed. We know it really takes hard work to deal in narcotics, plan armed robbery, kidnap people, package fake drugs, manufacture substandard goods and also to use people for money rituals,

Really hardworking

muktarl: which SW? stop mentioning SW, but lagos. because as i told you earlier there is no real ibo man in those rural towns you mentioned outside lagos. my problem with yourobas is that they don't travel. ibos use lagos port to make money while their families and mansions are in the east. i used to have this your type of mentality until i traveled to onitsha and enugu. they are far more developed and organized. they only use the north and SW as commercial battle field afterwards they will push the money to the east. we did haulage for ibeto alot, i went to his house in nnewi, i was ashamed of being a northerner. ibos are smart than you, take or leave it.

Oh boy be proud of your heritage and stop deceiving yourself that you are an Hausa boy. Even if you are, shout the F**** up coz this thread is about ibos and Yorubas ..
If you are so eager to be in the heat, create your thread and we shall meet u there

Benilily: my sweetheart, i cn feel ur bitterness but dear y nt try 2 use anoda eng apart 4rm "gullible, sheepish nd silly" while replyin 2 evry thread, z dat d only eng u learnt in skul OJUKWU MY GREATEST, SELFLESS, SWEETEST DADDY.. Am PROUDLY BIAFRA... Am xo happy 2 cum 4rm his tribe!!! Xo how many selfless leader has ever come 4rm ur tribe... Ndi AGAFUS

While will it not be the greatest, selfless, sweetest daddy of your because your eyes are closed to see the obvious that he only used you people to fight his vendetta, egoistic and self fulfilling aggrandisement war. He ran away and left the hapless people to their fate. What a greatest daddy indeed.

which one of your people is as great as Awolowo. He did not organise his people for massacre like your own greatest daddy. That is leadership.

muktarl: let the truth be said now. i follow my fathers trailer to all parts of nigeria. the only place you will see ibos in SW is lagos, this is because lagos was former capital. and again lagos has seaport simple. if they complete the one in akwaibom, am sure you know what will happen to lagos. they will connect the one in akwaibom to onitsha and matter will finish.

so there are no ibos in abeokuta, akure, ado, osogbo, ilesha, ife, oyo. even your brothers will be laffing at you. wont say more than that.

Benilily: dumbhead.... Pls ans dz question who, where, when, how, did an igbo man say One Nigeria?? Was it not u pple wit small brains dat was decieved by d hausa peeps 2 acept one Nigeria nd fight biafra cus u guys cant live without us

have told you, your knowledge gap is obvious and you are making the hollowness to show to the whole world.

we refused to join your brainless war. it is our decision and we have the right. we cannot join you in a non-strategic war.

coz of that you headed for our land and we halted your advance at our first border town.

so you see, you cannot do without us. you have the choice to just stay in your enclave called biafra and consolidate your losses but you chose to be matching to us.

we care less about you.

muktarl: as an unbiased commentor. an niether ibo or youroba.

ibadan and sokoto has the highest number of alumanjiris in the entire nigeria. the SE does not have beggars or alumanjiri because they work hard. in the case of poverty north is the highest trailed by yourobas. the SE/SS are the least poverty affected regions, with SE being the least follow by SS. let the truth be told, yourobas like to follow like sheep just like we northerners. the east hardly follow foolishly, they are individualistic and that is why you see development in onitsha, enugu, ph, calabar, akwaibom.

see another idiot slowpoke already annexing ph calabar and akwaibom alongside Lagos.

wont you guys ever learn, stop laying claims to other peoples land.

All your beggars are in Lagos and they are being bounced back to the East. those ones that are not beggars are into crime big time. least affected poverty region? are you for real or making things up. I get it, there cant be poverty because every one is into money rituals and you have used the unlucky ones among you for the rituals and you will now start business and start deceiving yourself you are a businessman.

do you even know ibadan at all, where do you see Almajiris in Ibadan. You are just a joker and your knowledge of Nigeria is whacked. Kano is the most populous city and state in the North, how will sokoto now have more Almajiris.

Benilily: Mr Most Educated human in Naija... I cn see that d only eng u learnt in skul z "sheepish, gullible, nd silly" ype cuz datz d only language u use in all thread whr u call pple illiterates... Such a soul

madam what are you selling in alaba market or ladipo or aspamda. yes, are you and your people not gullible, didnt you follow your no.1 coward sheepishly. so i am not lying. you are quick to shout from high rise that yorubas are cowards and dirty. did u ever caution your kinsmen when they were running their mouths. if you did not, you do not have any moral right and justification to request for restraint. we will call you whatever we like until when you decide to respect others and tone down your empty arrogance.

coogar: while you people are here arguing, 3 luxurious buses packed with deportees are leaving tonight to owerri......hopefully, by december, fashola would have cleaned out all the igbo destitutes in his state....

fashola is too much!

yes oooooooooooooooooooooooo

Benilily: we were not, are not and will never be one Nigeria..mtcheew.

see the race of sheep saying somebody is follow follow. you are known all over the world as the most stupidly gullible race with lack of sense of good judgement. thye deceived us to fight against biafra? you are either to dumb and educationally lazy to read history or you read it and could not just understand it. bunch of victoryless warriors

Xriss: Did Yorubas develop Lagos or was it the federal government that developed Lagos ....... Shallow brain

Really, the way FGN developed Calabar, so it belongs to all of us too

sexkillzisacunt: which sorry states? outside Lagos which was developed by colonial masters and all Nigerians, what other south west states can be compared to Enugu or Imo? Lagos is the only south west state that doesn't have a yoruba name and that's because Lagos is for all. Check out the typical yoruba states like Ekiti and you have a better idea of what yorubas can do.

So it was your grand father that named Lagos or have you not heard of Eko-Ile before. Which of your village state is bearing English name.

[quote author=mAd-BulleT]hope the yorubas will one day surprise you, by proven their selves as warriors, and not cowards...
Making mouth here does not make you a hero ...you know Action really matters!
So stop calling them cowards since you know not, their capability.[/quote]we fought for June 12 and got presidency and we are cowards and you fought your stupid war and you were massacred like chicken and the best the No. 1 coward ever produced can do is to jump into plane and run to Abidjan.

You are sheepish, gullible and stupid and lack sense of good judgement. Jews ma ass.

TechyGuy: If the information above is true, I don't understand what the Igbos are waiting for before suing Fashola and Lagos state.
This is fascism in Nigeria against Nigerians and not just the East.
Imagine if every state decides to do same, what will become of the nation called Nigeria?

Let every state do same, and let us see who will be in for it more.

etim20: See yoruba people o...una tink say una sabi abi?no worry..He who laughs last,laughs best..

no be say we think, we know ni. Get that in to your head. it is called intelligence and smartness, this one no be brute force or sheer strength.

wirinet: Timing of dumping of a human beings is not important? So are human beings now rubbish to be dumped? And dumping them in the middle of kidnap zone.

And why can't lagos state government fly them to their destination? - that is if the "destitutes" agree to be relocated. How much does it cost to charter an airplane? Does not fashola charter an airplane for moving around Nigeria and abroad?

if your Govs dearly love you the way politicise things, they would have used your money to send plane to Lagos to carry them. Dont you understand the folly?

he has the right to charter planes to fly around because he is doint the work of the state and he must spend the fine and duties and levies you are paying to us

blissforlyfe: Fashola has no right to abduct Nigerian Citizens against their free will, detain the person in degraded conditions putting their health and welfare at risk and then convene on a Eight hours risky journey to the east, all the way from the west.

What if their had been an accident or is Fascistshola unaware that not all who undertake the journey arrive at their destination?

What if te vigilante had decided to shot at everyone in the vehicle at past midnight, when they dropped the persons at the bridge? How where these individuals suppose to find their way home at that unearthly hour dead in the night?

Fascistshola actions were uncalled for.

he deported security threats and he is justified.

do your worse

Cusubaba: Hahahaha....slowpoke! U dirty animal with tribal stretchmark need to be cage in zoo because that is where u belong. No wonder Ghanaian people called u filthy yorubas 'Alata' meaning dirty two faced animal. Honestly, the yoruba people are stinks.

it is individuals that stinks in yoruba shey, the whole of your towns and race stinks --- aba and onitsha are disgrace to human race

nwando: I liked him too
The moment he started deporting fellow Nigerians,I kept him on the same shelf where I kept the others

I have come to understand that the Yoruba ethos is that of sheepish follower ship
They don't question their leaders
One man always speaks for their group
They would support anything done by someone they term a leader including kill if need be
Do you think bola Ige was slaughtered by a Hausa man or Igbo?
Or abiolas wife and Funso Williams ,pa rewane ,dipo dina etc were killed by outsiders
Once their leaders say boys oh yeah they shout o yeah and move
That is their psyche
Herd mentality
They have no individualism which is a good thing in a tribal society like Nigeria,the reason Igbos don't do well in politics,we are very independent minded and speak Everyman for himself
That is what I have come to understand about them
See wolowo's aged wife
Of all the praises they have for Awo they hate his wife with a passion, why?
The wolowo's are PDP and not the tribal party ACN
Same way Akintola was hated because the beloved Awo was his enemy
Even if Fashola used his bare hands to strangle a so called destitute these ones will still praise him
If he ate shait sef,they would swear it was amala

the way your grand fathers questioned the number 1 coward that led you blindly and sheepishly to your war of massacre

when Anambra State Gov received the letter, why didn't he just reply and state the ones that are not for his state. Even in court of law, silence is consent
