Ojukwu that fought the combined military might of Nigeria, Britain and Russia for 3 long years is who you are comparing with human rights activists like Fela and Gani who never held a gun their lives? Ojukwu was freedom fighter, something that no Yoruba man can ever be.

Ibos and the obsessive love for lagos

This is one of the reasons you were chased away from polling units like rats few weeks ago

schoolboij:
Wh are you Igbo's always accuse others of what you are guilty of? This topic is about afonja. And I'm pointing out all the afonjas in southern Nigeria since anybody who supports a fulani man is an afonja.

Btw, an Igbo man can never be better than me. I see them as inferiors right from my childhood. That's how I was raised. So quit your delusion.

Now stick to the topic.

princfred:
Yet you can't mention an igbo man or even south man, dead or alive, whom your folk ever supported fully without sabotaging.
So OBJ whom igbos voted for is no longer a Yoruba man?
As if you have supported the course of any igbos or South or even anyone if not to chase your stomach.
Any lie no matter how foolish with which to demonize igbos just to garnish your ass licking and safia pain.
The other 4 fingers points at your kind for the one accusing finger you point.

You don't even know your history...
1999 had two Yorubas as the candidates... We Yorubas wanted Falae cos we know how useless Obasanjo was, your people chose instead to vote against our wish... So you didn't do us any favor.

kayfra:
After a lie is repeated too many times, then people no longer question it. That's how most of them end up delusional with the empty boasts on almost everything

Lucky them.. I wrote it to enlightened youths not for publicity

Ojoji:
Going by some comments here, I dare say Nigeria is gone so to say. Because we don't want to here the genesis of our present predicament, we play to gallery to defend undefendable because the people mentioned are my or your people.
I could still remember what I read sometimes ago what Awolowo said during his last birthday on earth; it was then I knew this one Nigeria is a joke. It is well known this man never believed on one Nigeria. He said, it is not possible for an Ogbomoso man to reason like Sokoto man. He did what humanly possible to reverse the course of Yoruba's destiny but time was already against him.
I was in Kebbi State sometimes 2011,when I met a man from Plateau State, he was eulogizing Great Zik at expense of Balewa and Awolowo that it was Zik that formed one Nigeria. That Awolowo was only after his region and never cared about other regions especially north. In fact, I stopped him when every negative things were said about Awolowo, you know as a Yoruba man will not be too comfortable with those statements.
Initially, our northern brothers never knew that all what Zik was doing then and Ironsi unification decree later were there favour. But alas! The chicken has come home to roost and things have fallen apart and country Nigeria is for northern Nigeria to enjoy.
We southerners should stop abuse them, they were never our problems and never can they proffer solutions to Nigeria ailments. From the look of things, it is obvious that our eastern and western brothers will continue to trade blames instead of responsibilities in many years to come. Nigeria problems and solutions rest with southerners period.

chrisbaxtian:

chrisbaxtian:
will you shut it!!! whether you like it or not Igbos are stakeholders in Lagos and will also have a say in who governs the state! cry if it's paining you

SuperIgbo1:
Only a dumbass like you, would bookmark such an idiotic topic.

You want to bookmark a topic that says Benue state used to be part of the Eastern region? Looooool.

hisexcellency34:
No Igbo people, no Lagos. We determine everything here in Lagos

Of course, you do but we yorubas run the city and can deport your silly lil' arses at will, back to your erosion-ravage mud hamlets

Balkan:
Igbos will never run away from challenges. They confront them. Stop saying what you know you cannot do

tobby98:
Shut up fool.... Lagos is a cosmopolitan state unlike the North were the politicians capitalize on their illiteracy and gullibility.
Lagos is far too modern to imbibe that rascality
And moreover tribe or ethnicity would only create disunity...
Vote your choice peeps...

Kagawa10:

Blame the Yoruba in lagos who didn't give you the Hausa treatment earlier because Ibos know that they are to go home and not vote during any northern election in the North. I think it's high time lagos employed same strategy.

Heck, the flogging that was meted on your lots in Akure should be employed. Yeye dey smell.

freeze001:
Is one of the laws and customs of yorubas to dictate whom all visitors should vote for? In other words, they have no right to support any candidate except the one Tinubu anoints? That is the crux and Genesis of these infantile debates so far so is that what you mean by Yoruba laws and customs? If no, what are those laws and customs that visitors especially Igbos have not obeyed?

igbodefender:
Please be civil. No need to resort to diatribes. Just make your points, Oga.

Capensis:
How is it Yorubaland when Yoruba did not create it.

No land belongs to any tribe. Any human that was born by Earthbound parent can live in any part of the world but should obey the basic laws of the State or Country.

No tribe is recognized in the Constitutions in any country of Earth. That was done on purpose, cos tribe is simply groupings of the coding languages of the Universe, Yoruba being one the several programming languages, other languages are Ibibio Igbo, hausa, Hebrew, English etc.

teufelein:
lets hope there're reasonable people in yorubaland, the devils you invoke you may not be able to control them....

Wow ok let me tell u...SAY NO TO TRIBALISM it as simple as that..!

SuperIgbo1:
Major Don okafor was detailed to Ironsi but, he didn't find him at home. Brigadier Maimalari had thrown a party for the senior officers and, Ironsi was present.

Don okafor went after Ironsi at his home, thinking that Ironsi had returned from Maimalari's party but unfortunately, Ironsi had been to another party after Maimalari's party.

SuperIgbo1:
2 Igbo military officers were also marked out to be killed - Major-General Ironsi, the GOC and Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Unegbe, the military Quartermaster.

While Lt. Col. Unegbe was killed, Ironsi escaped and, was able to raise troops to quell the "Igbo" coup in Lagos. Also don't forget, the North had more intake in the Army so, its only logical that more officers of the northern extraction were marked out and killed.

seanfer:
Zik (and his covetous kinsmen) had thought that the Igbo can easily manipulate the Fulani in place of the educated Yoruba. He thus manipulated Balewa to arrest Awolowo in 1962 and to have him jailed for 10 years in 1963.

This was the only way the ibos thought they could actualise their objective of dominating in the new nation as they believed rightly, that Awo was their stumbling block.




Zik also manipulated Balewa to remove from the Western Region the Edo, Urhobo, Itsekiri and Western Ijaw that account for 70% of the oil wealth in Nigeria and created for them the Mid-West Region.

In actual fact, it was the agreement reached by the 3 regional leaders to give autonomy to minority groups in their respective region but once Awo was thrown in jail (on a trumped up charge) by the Balewa/Zik coalition govt, they renegaded on their agreement.There was no one else available to make sure zik and Ahmadu bello kept to the agreement.




The Igbo coup plotters tried to undo Zik's mistake in 1966. And unfortunately, they killed other tribes and left theirs, which resulted in the civil war.

It wasn't so much as the coup plotters trying to undo zik's mistake but rather another strategy in actualising their greed and making good their prophesy of being the top dog in the new nation. After the 1965 election whereby the ibos realised it wasn't going to be easy to wrestle power from the less educated northerners, their next option seems to be through force.

This was why the coup plotters ensured they murdered all the non-ibos military men that could scupper their plan except ironsi. Initially, after the coup, the ibos were already canvassing for one of theirs (mbadiwe) to replace the slain Balewa however when it dawned on them that the northerners were not having none of it and would rather have Dipcharim to be the new PM, Nwosu the senate leader then call in Ironsi to take over power at gun point.

Once, Ironsi got into power, he subsequently embarked on policies that favors the ibos and stands to make good ibos dream of dominating all the other entities in the new country inspite of admonitions and advice from other regional leaders, both in the armed forces and civilians.

Meanwhile, the coup plotters were not punished instead they were all relocated to their home region even though their offence was a federal offence.

Ibos are definitely smart but unfortunately only by halves.
