Sad...

ilugunboy: Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom are part of Iboland....?

Oleeeeeeee!!! Attaché by force!

Or does Bonga and Agbami oil fields sound Igbotic to you....?

Barawo!

Well isn't Lagos deporting Ibibios and Ijaws to Onitsha as well?

I am not into tribalistic fights. It puts a stain on my African heart.

Learn to love one another. Some of you say you are Christians. Well start acting Christlike.

shymexx: Go sit your ar.se down, mate.

When your folks were posting tosh everywhere - where were you? GTFOH

This isn't racism, it's bytch-slapping stupid low self-esteem having muthaphuckers!

You silly Brit who are my people?

All Africans are my people.

Now you sit down. Haven't you heard to never mess with someone from New York? Trying to make me lose my composure.

What is wrong with you myopic people?

This is aimed at both Yoruba and Igbo posters.

And the sad thing about most of your comments is that many of you live in either the UK or the US and see how black people struggle in these places. Where racism and systematic racism is prevalent and in some places black life is seen as worthless.

Now you all are being tribalistic against your fellow black brothers and sisters?

YOU ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!

Some people are into flashy things. It must be a Nigerian trait.

It doesn't have to be grandiose, as long as it fulfills its job.

~Bluetooth:
Does Jonathan feed 150 million people ?

He is responsible for over 150 million people, like it or not.

Dubai is a city-state that has a population of 2 million people within the UAE.

It is very hard to compare Dubai with Nigeria.

The United Arab Emirates does not need to feed over 150 million people like Nigeria. So of course Dubai can spend billions of dollars on one airport.

Thumbs up to GEJ.

eagle,eye:
I believe that we both are viewing this from the same angle. Fashola wants to turn Lagos to a Modern City within 8years, and he thinks he wil meet his Target date by pushing away the poor.
While doing my masters, I told some friends that Lagos State Govt. is Anti-Poor people.
Thank God someone else believe so too. But, he (Fashola) may meet his water-loo if he doesn't take it easy with the Igbos.

Fashola's actions show that.

His demolition of slums. The deportation of beggars, not just Igbos.

Lagos is not a poor man's playground, it is for those who can afford it. It doesn't matter if Igbos, Hausa, Yoruba, Ijaw etc are pushed out.

Lagos is no city for poor people. Similar to what is said of Abuja.

But Fashola is clearing out the poor people sneakily.

Fashola is not waging a war against Igbo people.

He is waging a war on poor people. The governor has deported fellow Yoruba before as well as Hausa.

The common link is that they all were said to be beggars.

Prof Corruption: This is Lagos, not New York.

And your point? This is for people who say that this does not happen in other countries.

This is actually happens in the US as well.

I remember when Mayor Bloomberg of New York City created a program for homeless people, in which they could get a one way ticket anywhere.

What kind of country is Nigeria, where men cannot drink in peace?

trolling: and once they pass the immigration reform America will become a cesspool of immigrants,its gonna be like a third world country,the end of America is at hand

You sound like those Tea Party nutjobs lol

Why live in Peckam when you can live in Houston or my hometown of New York City?

Come join a prosperous Nigerian-American community!

coogar: and you lost when facts were reeled out that you are more likely to be in prison than attain the pinnacle of your career in america. trayvon martin wanted to be a senator, he's lying 6 feet under.

thebookworm, watch out, you might be next!

Is that so? I know many Nigerian-Americans living the American dream. Not living in some ghetto or on welfare like the ones in the UK.

Nigerians have much easier chance of being successful in the US, than in the UK. In some US cities, they even welcome us like in Houston.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" - Plaque on the State of Liberty

coogar: statements like this often make one looks like a complete ignoramus. sometimes, it's better to tape it shut than make it too obvious that your IQ is a single-digit!

Didn't we have this discussion before why the US is much better than the UK?

It is the truth. The US is a land of immigrants, the UK is not. Deal with it.

Desola: Confused much!

One corner of your mouth is lamenting the influx of other Nigerians into your Utopia while the other is wondering why the US was not their first choice.

Do you wanna take time out to sync your cognitive faculties with your fingers and return to make another attempt at making sense?

Do you have a problem with men?

Seems like you are at war with men constantly on this forum. It has to be that. Calm down sister.

I do not even know why anyone would want to move to the UK when you have better places in the US where you can feel comfortable

The UK is a country that lives in its former glory. It should be happy that immigrants are trying to prop up its poor economy.

Desola: You're that ibo guys that believe all Nigerians in the UK to be Yorubas and now fear that the stringent requirement by the UK would now mean that you will be seeing a lot of Yoruba "leeches" in your specially carved ibo annex called The U.S, right?


Hahaha...clowns abound on this effing forum, I swear! You just gotta love them!

I have never said I was Igbo anywhere on this forum. Do not try to project any tribalism on me.

The Brits may rub me the wrong way, but I have nothing but love for Nigerian brothers and sisters in the UK regardless if they are Igbo, Yoruba, Edo etc. We just do not want the moochers found in the UK to come to the US now.

Afam4eva: Those people tried going to the US or Canada but were not issued a visa, so they copted for the UK. Getting a US visa is not moi moi especially if the applicant cannot present themselves like is coming with peckam brought ups.

And I am glad that the US has such a tight policy. We do not need any troublesome Nigerians sullying our good name here.

Educated and hardworking Nigerians are welcomed, but we do not need any leachers like the ones that are found in the UK.

I guess more Nigerians will be attempting to come to the United States now, since the Brits have made it harder for them to come to the US.

Texas, Maryland, and New York will now be seeing an influx of more Nigerians.

I am sure her children are very intelligent.

But once you have a parent who went to Harvard or any Ivy League institution, it easier for the offspring to be accepted into these elite universities.

It is called "Legacy Preference."

Africans really need to stop the tribalism.

Since black people are viewed already as the wretched of the Earth.

It is time for solidarity.

People actually believe Hispanic is a race?

It is an ETHNIC group, that have a shared culture and language. But Hispanics, can be black, white, Mestizo (Mixed) or even Native American.

Crassus: yeah but was there a riot like they are currently having now in Oakland?

There was a riot in Oakland, because of previous conditions such as the travesty about the Oscar Grant murder by the police a few years ago. The George Zimmerman case just sent some people over the edge in Oakland.

There were NO riots in Florida, which is the epicenter of this case.

toshmann: At least trayvon had his case tried out. In Nigerian thousands are killed openly. How many boko haramists have been brought to trial. Even if a sham trial, how many? Even trial in sharia court with Muslim judge and jury, how many?

Our homeland is fvcked. Truth be told. Trayvon is just one among thousands of black victims of structural injustice. Black America will do better by standing up and using the opportunities that exist already in America, bc, the most privileged group of black people in the world are . . . . . . You guessed right, African-Americans. But do they even know that?

You can say that African-Americans are "privileged" to live in America, but at the same time are considered 2nd class citizens.

So how do you expect African Americans know that they are "privileged," when many are taught that anything that is black is associated with something negative?

[size=18pt]That is not Miami. That video is from the Vancouver riots in Canada.[/size]

kingoflag: Funny enough, hes mentioned people like you: people that'll say hes suffering from self hatred.

What is Africa's status on Earth today? Does Africa--- LED BY USELESS, AND HOPELESS NIGERIA --- look to you like shes taking steps to extricate herself from the quagmire which she so willingly put herself? Ok, then.

Africa is playing catch up.

It took over a thousand years for Europe to sort itself out after crusades, 100 year war, and two world wars in the 20th century.

Africa was progressing at its own pace until the arrival of Europeans on its shores, which brought slavery and colonialism into existence.
