if she can leave her boyfriend to be with you, what makes you think that she won't do the same thing to you and be with someone else? You would have thought about this while tryna make her yours when you were fully aware that she had a boyfriend .. The sooner you start channeling your thoughts to more productive things the best for you. I just hope your obsession with her won't cut your life or hers short because it is people like you that will do stupid things all in the name of love.
Michael004: [s][/s]Bimbo, go to different part of the world, you will see different people doing business like others. If you are not stupid as nnamdi said, you will see that many all the tribes in Nigeria are in all part of the nation doing their daily business without an rancur. Even foreiners are in the nation doing their business. In Europe, English men are many in Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Russia and other part of the world so also others doing their business. But how many of them are telling the owners that they are not the owner of their lands. Sometimes, you confused people will say Lagos is bini land and the bunis themselves never came out to talk or drag about Lagos before. But you pathetic inferior people are just trying to be their spokespersons. Don't you people have shame? Hausas and other tribes are many in Lagos, but you will never see them talking trash about Lagos or dragging Lagos. Why you people always act inferior. We see you people as laughing stock whenever you talk poo. Tufiakwa. Average if igbo man are 100% obsessed with Lagos. Why, stop writing insipid epistle.
honestly I thought your problem was ordinary obsession but I can see that you traded your common sense with stupidity.. Frustration has degraded you so low that you can't even reason anymore. Anyway that's an attribute of a lazy man who instead of working hard would be busy blaming everyone around him for his failure. Here's a life tip for you, get off nairaland and make yourself useful opportunities awaits you out there
Let me educate the op small cos I'm sick and tired of demented fools trolling up and down the internet, opening silly threads about Igbos and their livelihood. Op no average Igbo man is obsessed with Lagos, we all know that Lagos is located in your geospace. The reason you see a lot of igbos here in Lagos because they do business here and like all serious minded business men the need to cover more grounds an attribute of successful people. Now why Lagos? Lagos is the major business hub in Nigeria and it's the commercial capital of the country. Thanks to the federal government of Nigeria, we have major sea ports, international airports that makes it the number one choice for business location and thus why most businesses have their headquarters located in Lagos. Igbos that stay there fend for themselves and no one is feeding them there. How many igbos do you see walking up the street begging? I challenge you to bring me some figures. Why did I bring this up? Because I know that is where your post is heading to, and about how igbos should respect their hosts. Note this applies to all hardworking people irrespective of their tribes or ethnic origin not only igbos
NDelta: you de make me laff, Ibobio people that I live and dine with? WILL ADDRESS THEMSELVES AS IGBO?? you will be the FIRST that I have ever encoutered. But thats really good, it shows that my dream about southern unity is already coming to pass. Long live SOUTHERN NIGERIA. WE ARE BROTHERS NO NEED TO KEEP FIGHTING
NDelta: Trust me, no Efik person will address him/herself as Igbo, leaving their own identity behind. NEVER, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, we know your type. Recently Victor Atta, the former governor of Akwa Ibom issued a statement STATING CATEGORICALLY that Biafra is ONLY for the Igbos, he made it clear that his people have no business with Igbos apart from being neighbours. (Biafra is Igbo agenda, Igbo’ll be happy in a just Nigeria – Attah ON JULY 18, 201612:22 PM) https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/07/biafra-igbo-agenda-igboll-happy-just-nigeria-attah/
The Igbo speaking tribes in the SS, do not want to identify as IGBOS, instead they will tell you they are from Benin. I know what I am talking about, the DELTA IGBOS have time and again rejected their Igbo brothers, they don't want to associate with the Igbos, so why will an Efik or Itshekiri man agree to have anything to do with the Igbos? Especially when their own Delta Igbo brothers have rejected them? Please do your research and read widely, I have included some publications below for you to look at. PLEASE WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO OF SUNDAY OLISEH, the first statement was to reject IGBOS
In the Niger Delta, we are found of telling the Ikwerres, Delta Igbo etc that they are Igbos but they will scream and tell you that they have nothing to do with Igbo people of S.E, so I don't understand what you mean by "And when igbos talk about SS, the talk about the indigenous igbos living there. Not ur urhobo, ijaw, itshekiri or any other minor tribe so get your facts straight". Please do you research. Please check these links below for your information. WE DO NOT HATE THE IGBO PEOPLE IN THE NIGER DELTA BUT I AM JUST EDUCATING YOU.

Re: Origin Of Delta Igbo Indisputable
By Uwuechue Last update 28/09/2019 I will like to state that the people of eka and agbor have always guarded their culture with fiercely in the face of all oppositions , we as eka people know where we come from and we are proud of our origin , we have a long history of kingship and culture that is why many people will not let us be , it is not new for a tribe to have two or more ancestory , e. g . take itshekiri , they have both benin and yoruba ancestory , but that does not make them benin or yoruba , today , they are know as itshekiris . but the founding father of their tribe was the a benin prince called iginua , son of oba olua of benin . we as ika people of agbor and owa will not wish to be drawn into stupid arguements with those who do not know our history and who do not know our culture and whose sole arguements rely on nearness of language as a proof of where a people come from , if he is a historian then he or she will know that changes in language can occur due to large migrations or trade or due to other factors . please can any one tell me what agbor means in igbo language ?......... http://www.edoworld.net/Origin_Of_Delta_Igbo_Indisputable.html
Igbos Of Delta State And Crisis Of Identity [Part 1]
If there is any separate and distinct tribal group that has been contributing a lot to the development of Nigeria, it is none other than the Igbos of Delta state. I believed that if IBB's regime had given us our cherished Anioma State, we would have fared better than under the present gang-like hegemony of the Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ezon, Isoko and Ijaw. We never bargained for this present raw deal with IBB. In fact, we were better off under the Benin Kingdom than under the present Urhobo ‘Korokoro' arrogant domination and hegemonic tendencies.
One of the basic problems with most ethnic and tribal groups in the South is that they do not forgive. We always have this tendency to add new grudges on old grudges which does nothing but create negative multiplier effects. While the North is moving on, even though there are proven cases of wide spread poverty in that region, the South is always antagonising itself.
What has happened to our Southern Governors meeting which was initiated by Tinubu and others? It has faded as quickly as it was started and yet the Northern Governors Forum is still on course. "Ego-massaging" is daily killing the South, and yet we claim superiority in the Education sector. Acquired education, which ought to act as a catalyst to forging closer unity and ties among us, has seemingly become irrelevant in our quest for a united front.
Education is supposed to be power but in the South, because of our ego and pride and this innate tendency to sell out over a pot of pottage, we have deliberately refused to use our education for effect. We are always busy fighting ourselves. Honestly, I think we need to initiate the process of de-schooling ourselves.
IN recent years there have been attempts on the part of some Igbo communities to deny their identity as Ndi-Igbo. Classical examples are the Ika Igbos of Agbor environs in Delta State and the Ikwere Igbos of Port-Harcourt, Rivers State. The Nigeria-Biafran War, among other accidents in history has the blame of inflicting “mere anarchy upon the people” of Igbo in general and it appears that since the end of the war “the centre can no longer hold.” Port-Harcourt, up to 1967 had a majority of Igbo population....
why are you so hell bent on proving that SS people are dissociating themselves from Igbos? I didn't bother to read your long epistle because it reeks of inconsistency forged from the depths of hatred towards igbos. And let me educate you, most igbos living in delta I know don't deny their heritage of being igbos, the accept the fact the only thing is that the dissociate themselves from this current Biafra agitation, which I agree with them. But don't bring your Igbo phobia to create division amongst us the larger igbo community
NDelta: And you guys always try to force friendship and brotherhood with SS. Funny, the truth is NO IJAW, URHOBO or EFIK/IBIBIO will ever agree to join the IBOS in their Biafra but we wish you guys luck and we will continue to render support but it is either SOUTHERN NIGERIA or Niger Delta republic for us. Come to Ph/Bayelsa/Delta you will see ibo people living and working with us peacefully but you can never see an Urhobo trader in Imo or Aba market as they wont be welcomed. I have travelled the east and some of my best friends are Igbos but the truth is that Igbo states are usually for Igbos, they dont have other tribes living and working in their cities (except of course, a few hausa and yoruba). The hate is just too much, ah ah, what is it? Anytime I read the comment section of newspapers, Igbos are always there shouting Afonja, na dem, Yoruba muslim etc. So intolorent, yet you want to live in other cities. I will not forget how Abia governor sacked all Imo and Anambra workers from civil service in his state, yet, you want a Biafra where an Imo man WILL NOT ALLOW an ANAMBRA man become president. Imagine the public fight between Rochas and Obiano of Anambra, please you guys should rethink this your intolorent attitude and hate. I know the truth is bitter
oga please I am Ibibio, and I see myself as igbo because we have a lot in common. So don't bring your rubbish division amongst us. And by the way, there's nothing like Ibos, it's igbo. And when igbos talk about SS, the talk about the indigenous igbos living there. Not ur urhobo, ijaw, itshekiri or any other minor tribe so get your facts straight.
APC rochas government think imolites are fools, all these is part of rochas game with the speaker to douse tension in Imo state. God will impeach you not man
ChineseBuggati3: Most of the above listed are not worthy to be called leaders (most of them although dead and buried long ago are still the reason why many are still dying and suffering today, I wonder how their eternity would be like
I saw this wonderful piece somewhere and I decided to share it here,it's quite educative
