PoliticsIgbo,ss And Them All In Nigeria by tonychristopher(op): 6:57am On Jun 21, 2015
This is not an ethnic attack on any tribe but a moment of reflection ...this write up is coming not as a result of any phobia but due to uneasy tension in Nigeria and this is unacceptable...this was the state Europe was centuries ago so we should out grow this

I notice that anambra state used the term home for all and they are okay to do that and they will invite strangers to come do business there just like Dubai but when it comes to the issue of Lagos which was Nigerian former capital built by the collective sweat of all Nigerian especially niger delta oil..some group of people are claiming they built Lagos . it baffles any logically thinking mind how they built it..its like gwari will come out tomorrow to say that they built Abuja ...yet we know that oil money from south south built Abuja not the back burden carrying tribes (with respect to their culture ) built Abuja


Coming to frosty and nasty tension or relations between igbo and Yoruba in Lagos ...I experienced where a Yoruba man was telling an ibibio man to go back to his village I personally asked the man where are you from he said his father is from ekiti... Then I told him he is not a lagosian also. I think xenophobia is high and mind you igbo still have 101% right in Lagos so is the Hausa ijaw or edo man...

If you look at this

The people in Lagos had a head start
They were the first that interacted with the European first

They had access to education first by the virtue of their location

They had the space when igbo were fighting war of Biafra for three solid years
So they should have capitalized on this

They had most of the firm during the infamous indigenization decree of 70s which favoured the west becuase igbos then were having post traumatic stress from war and broke with just £20 left for them

They also had the space when they scared and chased the Ghana people away ...

They have produced president two times


But igbo never had these opportunities yet they are making a mark with their niger delta counterparts . what I am finding it difficult to understand why the hate


Personally I think this is inability to compete ...in today's global economy nobody runs a welfarist system and igbo are competitive in nature and I think other tribes such as Yoruba should be competitive . ijebu to my own understanding is . it will be nice if we can live together as a country and not treating one another as a virus

As you read this ask yourself why the hate, ask yourself why the lagoon talk ask yourself why was Dr. Ariyo honored ask yourself why is Daniel Kanu venting anger and firing all cylinders

To me it boils down to one thing..Blackman propensity to violence and pull him down syndrome


Let us not be jealous of people success let us understudy and compete with them. Yoruba should learn how to accept others the way they are and not expecting others to act like them and igbo with their south south cousins should learn how to let go and not offend the sensibilities of others with their culture ..Yoruba are cultural and averse to changes so they should learn that also and don't use civil war to judge others .I have seen good people from yoruba ijaw edo etc so its pointless to hate

We should compete and think our of box instead of making ourselves a laughing stock globally


That was what china did to USA


Have a blessed day

if that's what you think, then good luck getting that master of English cert, that means i'm hoping to see your name on the charts since you call your self a writer of book reviews and thesis...btw, let me tell you a good book, a good book isn't one that would entertain you, our age has surpassed that level, now we are in an age of reflection, if I can't read a book and wanna change, then it's not a good book, it's just as good as every other person's story...using too much English in a time when Nigerians weren't that literate to tell a story is just like serving a good mass in Latin to Christians who only understand igbo...

No we the isokos are not urhobo though both languages are linguistically related they aint the same.for starters urhobo is made up of 3 languages uvwie,okpe and urho and isoko is made up of two isoko and erowha, erowha is not intelligble with other language and so other isoko do not understand them except u switch to centrall isoko .now back to the topic we have this urhobo woman opposite us from aladjga buh she doesn't undetstant a word of what we say except jocular remarks .my dad is very vast in isoko(extremely) buh only understands elementary urhobo.although my understands urhobo only because she learns languages easily (xcellent yoruba,few igbo,ijaw and hausa)only near-bye urhobo town ughelli is understood to a large extent by isokos cos their brand of urhobo is kinda lite and they understand to some xtent emevor(proximity) and enwhe(similar with urhobo language) clans of isoko buh not the other 17clans .isoko and urhobos while comminicating with each other don't use their language except u stay in a town of either of both groups and learn the language which is easier if either of them already know how to speak theirs coz it is linguistially similar .although we have similar names which means the same thing. Just lyk the chinese,Korean, singaporean languages sound and are even written similar buh for crying out loud they ain't the same is isoko and urhobo.
And please DON'T EVER CALL US SOBOS AGAIN.mind u we also have a derogatory name 4 guys also.
It's the white that used sobo to categorize you not me...I am sorry about that .

Urhobo isoko aladja are all the same language with dialect variation so is ijebu oyo ife okun and awori Yoruba dialect so is ika ukwuani onitsha oru ikwerre wawa are igbo dialects


Provided that both speakers understand themselves

Why is it the urhobo and isoko are ashamed to speak their language when they meet a new urhobo itsterkiri in Lagos I noticed it when my urhobo friend said that ...why

blackprowler:
I'm amazed that people who say they've learnt a lesson from "Abandoned Property" couldn't learn the actual lesson that's supposed to be learnt of never provoking a senseless war. You may not know it but there were Ibos outside "Biafra" and they weren't killed or their property seized. You will live in this life and die within 100yrs. You better enjoy your short life and not think you're here forever
Biafra war was due to jealousy so wake up and stop pretending

at op. so u want us to build in strange lands so that when crisis arises. some lazy people will start reaping where they did not sow. my grand parents' (both maternal and paternal) houses in PH have not been reclaimed since the end of Biafran war and you want my parents to build another. some people in the north have to abandon their property to flee the crisis. if they didn't have houses at home, they would be homeless.
for me I will first build a comfortable family home in my home town before I build one in the city. I'm the type that like visiting my hometown. I will certainly have a house both in da village and in the city by God's grace.

Next time there is a war or upheaval, there would be no £20 and all abandoned properties in SW will be auctioned off to the local Obas and chiefs of the local area. Shebi some people are fond of poking their dirty Akpu fingers in the eyes of their benefactors, customers and host. Well the tide has changed slowly maybe but surely.

We in the SW have seen the law of diminishing returns (in fact collapsing returns) in terms of Easterner immigration to our land. They are no longer adding value through nuisance, overpopulation, ghetto-fication of previously prosperous abode, criminality, political antagonism, bad belle etc etc.

Build in your own villages and towns. Born your pickin in your own villages and towns. build your businesses in your own villages and towns.

The tide has changed.!!!!!
This is exactly why I should build better houses in east due to haters like this ..bunch of lazy people ....they will blame everybody but themselves

Are u not ashamed that you had opportunity but jettisoned it

You met the white man first yet you messed it up
You had access to western education first but you chose owo mi da and omo nile
Your people were president yet still no improvement
You had indigenization decreee favouring you yet no progress
Igbos left for Biafra war still you couldn't capitalize and utilize their abscense
Igbo were back from war broke you did not utilize it
You chased the Ghana people away yet same laziness
Igbo started with only £20 yet you were stagnant
Are you not ashamed that strangers make it in your land

You dudes are terrible and lazy just making mouth

I think it's penny wise pound foolish to build a country home in your village you visit once a year or hardly even do and living in a rented house in town where you spend almost all your life. Would you rather create impression at home while you remain a tenant in town?
To be honest you must be a Yoruba man to ever think of this

You called it country home and so it is...what is wrong with it. I think you have a poverty mentality ..in USA people build vacation homes and visit those places only once a year

What is wrong in building great house in your fatherland

Or u want to huod tiny houses in ur father land and build big house in city

My dear igbo believe in aku ruo uno....so u won't get this principle

That's is why Yoruba villages looks typical of African villages
