and that is the same way your blabbing here is not a parameter to measure and why jump into conclusion..i just said i know their position and you have concluded. what a weird way of reasoning
why is anything igbo scare you...can you believe that IGBO are enigma...you guys are begging IGBO not to take their cousind and brother away
what a shame...there should be some dignity left in you guys naaa
stop begging igbos in south east and Niger delta...your making them feel special
as of fake igbo...if you are igbo you will know that we igbo have a way of yabbing ourselves, it is found in sibling
owerri, ikwerre will call non indegens isoma, while ngwa will call non indegens ohuhu while anambra will call non indegens ijekebe while delta will call non indegens nwa onye igbo ....but we know that these are jabss
now remember that the igbo group are united we are onu nuo
deal with this
lezz: 1) You might want to put a lid on the emotional outlet
2 ) your in - laws' choice isn't the yardstick of measuring the feelings of the entire people. Please I beg of you, do not be emotionally hypocritical with a dose of sentimentalism.
Eastern igbos are still berating the presidency for lack of "igbo" appointment even when some Delta igbo sons are there.
When Anioma state was on the verge of creation with the proposal that Onitsha be its capital, Eastern igbos kicked against it. That would have permanently sealed your western brothers to their kins in the east.
When Pat Utomi ran for president in 2007, Eastern igbos cried out he isn't a real igbo.
Well I don't hear much "fake" yoruba about their kwara and Kogi brothers.
There are a good number of Delta igbos who would easily jump ship to the other side and others who won't.
The Asaba massacre and eastern betrayal is still a sour point.
And what the hell is Delta Igbo or fake igbo when their dialect is even more igbo than most places in ebony state and some part of enugu.
Biafra is a legitimate call for igbo active participation in the sociopolitical scheme of things in Nigeria. Secession is a long, long dream.
Flyoruboy: Lol. You people are simply too daft for comfort. This Igbo still dey talk of sand filling Lagoon? ? So till now you mean you still don't get it that Akiolu's offer was actually a curse offering? ? The only Igbo that will end up in the Lagoon will be a dead one, so you can feel free to begin sand filling your graveyard. Newsflash: Every yorubaman, be he from Osogbo or Okitipupa, has more stake and claim to Lagos than any Igbo ever will coz by God's grace Lagos falls within Southwest and Yoruba land/territory, same way all Igbos feel naturally more at home within every part of SE igboland and will gladly die to protect her interests and territorial integrity. FACT.
An igboman in Lagos will always be an igboman, even if he lives there for a million years, he will never be no more than an illegal immigrant. Heck, you all don't even bury your dead outside igboland, so no matter how long Una live for Lagos, a Igbo will eventually end up in the SE, whether dead or alive. Comprende? ?
lezz: I do not make the mistake of speaking for a group of people as their mouthpiece.
But I have travelled and lived amongst different groups in Nigeria. I know the damage and political expediency that the Igbos of the south - South endured and subsequently adjusted to a life of near-duplicity and the fake - igbo lebel that is often chanted in the south east.
Do you deny this ?
In 1999 I was at Nsuka when Crush soft drink was the rave of the moment as Orijin now is, well the management decided to sack non-igbos as a measure of cutting cost. An Asaba man was sacked!!!
Still allow them to decide ...don't come here and make a joke of yourself
My in laws are from rivers Igbo and delta Igbo so I know their position
So allow them to speak for themselves
But wait a minute
Do you feel that Igbo in rivers and delta maybe Benue will leave their brothers and be comfortable with non Igbo
coolitempa: You are becoming a nuisance.......I have never claimed I am from Delta....I am Ondo and Lagos...sho ti gbo....and I have always supported Biafra.....all my posts that you produced prove that.....but the fact that I want the flat'heads to go into Biafra does not mean that I expect any better from them....I absolutely expect Biafra to fail like all the five ibo states....now bugger off.....
Now shut up...Go and developed your brown roofs region
kponkanaG3: my brother are you a SS man if yes then you still have a long way to go. What is SS tell me this is just a way of the Yoruba and Hausa way of separating us the Ijaws,Ibibios, isekiris,efik,orrobo etc from our brother's and next door neighbors(the ibos) the worst of it is even the ikweres. The north you said are your best friend's are they treating you right have you ever lived up north and a northern don't. Call you an Igbo man. That aside the oil we have that we are so proud of that we don't enjoy is that why you call an Hausa man your friend? Have you been to Abj kano Kaduna Jos and see how those places are developed? Have you been to Oloibiri, Soku, Ogoni etc and see how our lands and seas are polluted, we can't farm or fish. Our brother was at the realm of affairs what happened they connived with the Yoruba friend's and hustled him out by labelling him corrupt, Abacha wasnt Obasanjo wasn't its GEJ that was. Bros again how many NGO'S are you seeing in the so called SS area ? Despite the the pollution in our land? Please stop being the bride that cook's the food but her husband eats the meat and give her the bone.
Very intelligent post ..the most disturbing thing is your people won't understand this ...they are just daft
OZAOEKPE: "agbaje begged them to vote for him, they refused, they voted for tinubu and his houseboy. Tinubu lost his powers at federal level, he wants to milk lagos as he's milking osun state, I only want to wish the workers happy suffering in advance. Tinubu must be paid, and thousands will be sacrificed to please one greedy old idiat called tinubu". Quote me anywhere.
lezz: With Igbos running their business in virtually allot region of the country? With Igbos investing in landed and real estate in both north south east and west? Our economic and cultural ties isn't as different as you would wish. There's a sizable Muslim population in the southwest and in Edo state in South south and there is a sizeable number of Christians in the north and middle belt as well.
You speak of a Biafra along igbo speaking areas but you should know there are many in Rivers igbo who will not hold to such sentiments and that area is key if you would achieve your dream of secession. Also many in the calabar/ uyo and akwaibom axis will still fear igbo domination in any eventuality.
That's why I say the marriage is complex. If the north decides to secede I think some regions in the middle belt might not tag along too and if the south west is to secede, the kwara and Kogi brothers might still be a puzzle to solve, not mentioning the pocket of ijaw settlers all around the creeks in the south west.
I still see a one Nigeria stronger and better with more international role to play in Africa and the world.
Is that what you feel
Allow the rivers Igbo to speak for themselves ...you are not mandated to speak for them
Flyoruboy: Hehehe. Don't you just wish? You must be mistaking the Lagoon for Lagos , since Akiolu has already offered you all acres of plots in the Lagoon, so y'all can knock yourselves out at its bottom. Besides, una must first successfully annex Delta, Edo, Ondo, and Ogun which are buffer states between Lagos and SE proper, punk. Ore would be child's play compared to what will befall your flat.heads.
You know we can easily sandfill those lagoon and make it Macau
Pls go and salvage your people in that thread
Show them decent pictures of Oshogbo,okitipupa et al
OPCNAIRALAND: Ibo is a lower class citizen in Nigeria.
[ Masterweb Reports: Clement Udegbe reports ] – When Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola was sworn in as the Governor of Lagos State, to take over from his mentor, I was one of those who vouched for him, urging my friends in our small but very closed forum of lawyers who are pastors to monitor and watch the actions of Lawyers in Power.
I boasted that here comes the first SAN, as a Governor, who will show Nigerians that lawyers have the key to the challenges of this blessed nation, and that Lagos will soon experience a turn around for good. Today, we all agree that he has done well and still doing well except for one terrible and dangerous tendency his government has displayed too frequently.
Around December 2009,the LASG, provided buses and was paying a sum ranging from N8,000 toN15,000 to anyone who wanted to leave Lagos. What was baffling was that the evacuation targeted people from the South- South and South East of Nigeria, especially the Igbos.
Any man who wants people to leave “their Lagos” so shabbily is wickedly inconsiderate because some of these citizens being urged to depart or relocate from Lagos may have come here when some of them in power today were toddlers. Some of these persons so believed in Lagos, that they gave their children Yoruba names like myself.
They only discovered late in life, like I now do, that many of these men who are in power have refused to outgrow their dislike for Igbos! To me, that action signaled the possibility of BRF waking up any morning to ask a whole group, and ethnic group to leave Lagos. Igbos could be made to leave Lagos one day, if nothing is done now.
I quickly took this thought to my forum of Pastor Lawyers, and after a good argument, they disagreed with me, but we all agreed to watch BRF closely to observe anything that will prove my thoughts or to confirm my fears for the Igbo people in Lagos. After BRF’s re-election in 2011, we all agreed that the man will become bolder, more blunt, daring, and even wicked in his second term. This was purely based on his body language in everything he did, after he was sworn in for the second term.
Soon after, LASG had a serious brush with the Igbo traders in Alaba International Market, Ojo. He threatened to close their market, and we noted it.
Then he hit the Okada riders very hard, and as that was settling down, he hit the Ladipo Igbo traders early this year, and closed the market indefinitely! It took the intervention of Owelle Rochas Okorocha of Imo State to reach BRF’s milk of mercy and he reopened Ladipo Market, but not without a warning! I, had to, and without any apologies, come to the painful conclusion that it is either that someone very high up in the LASG does not like Ndigbo, or it is BRF himself. What angered me more was that Owelle had to beg him for Ndigbo.
This Igbo people I complained, when will they wake up to know and accept that no one likes them in this arrangement called Nigeria, and comport themselves properly at all times and in all they do?
To confirm that I was correct, on the July 26 morning, Onitsha people at the bridge head area woke up to the deportation of about 70 Igbos by LASG to Anambra State! What BRF has told Ndigbo by this action include: That Lagos State under his administration will not tolerate Igbo failed citizens in the state; Lagos will allow only those who contribute immensely to the Internally Generated Revenue of the State, and if any becomes unable to pay tax for any reason, LASG will send him back to Igboland.
Don’t ever think you can do anything about how LASG, treats Ndigbo,whether their treatment of Igbos is constitutional or not, no one can do anything about it. Since Igbo Governors may only come to beg him for mercy, he might as well just send their people back to them, good riddance of bad rubbish! Finally, LASG can and will disregard the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria when it concerns Ndigbo, because they are ACN!
The deportation of Nigerians from Nigeria was the worst assault on the pride of Igbo people in Lagos; it was deliberately calculated to see what the Igbo people would do, and it is in very bad taste to me.
The meaning was that a governor who thinks and goes ahead to approve the transportation and relocation of these Nigerian citizens from his state, has succeeded in flouting and abusing the constitutional rights of these citizens to a place of domicile, to stay and earn their living in any part of Nigeria.
If the Federal Government does not speak and do something about this, there will be cause for any Igbo man to worry about this contraption called Nigeria that we have all so believed in. LASG must be made to account for these persons, cater and provide for them, because it was in Lagos that they lost focus and their destiny ruined.
Lagos Area Boys run wild, extorting money from bus drivers, causing nuisance with impunity ostensibly encouraged by LASG. I just wonder when this insult of Ndigbo will end.The growing trend of disrespecting the Igbo people in Lagos, and wherever in Nigeria must stop.
If nothing is done about this by the FG, many will have to brace up for a fight for their constitutional right, or pack away from Lagos State. And this is because my Igbo people say that if your fowl comes out in the morning from its cage and starts pursuing you, it is wise that you run for your dear life, because it may have developed sharp teeth overnight!
Clement Udegbe, a Nigerian lawyer reports from Lagos.
--------------------------------------------
Fashola violated Ibo's rights in Nigeria but in court Yoruba and Hausa lawyers gave him victory against the refugees. Ibos are like toilet paper, everybody clean yansh with them.
Your deluded fathers could not even conquer small Ore, not to talk of Ondo.
Reclaim back your fathers houses that were hijacked by the minorities and rename the town they changed the name,as well as the streets and we shall begin to take you serious.
For now you are noise makers and chest beaters, just like your defeated and conquered grandfathers and fathers that gave birth to this your enslaved generation.
For your information... Ikwerre is in ohaneze and I don't know why you find it hard to understand this ...they have begged forgiveness and igbos have moved on ...now that is apart. The same way jew forfeited their properties in EU to build a stronger better nations that what Igbo did
If you want us to hate our brothers because of comon properties we are sorry to disappoint u ...we won't
Atleast Igbo have Eze Igbo in Lagos ...pls try have oba Yoruba in Ilorin . we know that you will never get that state again at least have a king
sandraokosun: igbos can continue dreaming on a non existence hope. Their only voice is on a non existence forum. Studying maps of 1640 and analysing eastern region with lord lugard means nothing. Alot have changed. Even the Minority SS states have a hand full dealing with their diversity as close as they remain, talkmore of going back to slavehood under a colonial master that want to dominate them. They best biafra can hope for is to get its emigrants back, that is if a miracle of referandum happen. But to get any part of SS LAND along with it is beyound impossible. Gej a SS, never allowed even a shadow of referandum, and that is the closet hope to biafra. ss, the nigeria state, the nigeria govt would reject it
mankand: Guts comes with glory. One thing I like about Nnamdi Kanu is that he is very articulate and organised.
He knows how to organise his people around his dream, he can be the next Che in Africa because he is fighting a just cause but due to the mainstream media propaganda, a lot of people won't see and agree to this.
He have been able to gather the support of the igbo people worldwide both indigenous, in diaspora and those whose ancestors were taken to slave in Europe, America and Latin America which have now become a force to recon with.
Unfortunately my people yorubas are still under the chain of mental slavery donating their hard earned money to fake men called pastors instead of donating their money to organise themselves to build another oduduwa nation. We also have the same capacity to do the same as IPOB but we won't.
We also have yorubas all over Latin America, Europe, and other parts of the world.
I wish IPOB success in their quest because with their success, it becomes a motivation for other regions in Africa to do the same
One of a kind ....you spoke very well
But why are your people scared ? As you can see the badmouthing here
atbu1983: It is you Igbos that are sick. You are d one who want to steal what does not belong to you. You said u want to form your country, we said go ahead but leave our south south from it. We said we will support u to form ur country as we south south form our country or confederation or six countries. Just form ur own and dominate urself. Must you tag south south along. We dont need igbo. South south can take care of itself. Igbo is not needed in south south. Anioma is Anioma. Anioma is not Igbo. Igbanke is ika and not Igbo. Anioma and ika language is to igbo what Spanish is to portugal . That doest make spain part of portugal. Libya speak arab doesnt make libya part of Saudi arabia.
Pls is south south in geography
Can we know your tribe
What was Igbo coup of 1967 and who planed it and where do they come from
MKO4ever: Yes Jehovah is the real God Jesus is Jehovah Mary gave birth to Jesus Mary gave birth to God Mary is the mother of God
Oga Jesus is God manifestation and Jesus is not Jehovah and mind you Mary is the vessel that Jesus used to enter this world and she is pure and perfect
Now I know you do not get this but I don't expect you to either
oluwanoni: Bro there is a difference between marketing & sales....what u are talking about is sales not marketing, I don't know why we can't get this definition straight in Nigeria.
All u have illustrated is not marketing career but a sales career, sales is one of the aspect of marketing, make sure u defiance your topic before you post.
The truth is #harsh....no disrespect
They mistake sales from marketing ...well sales is part of marketing but just part
Marketing is branding , advert , PR as media mix with sales
If you cannot do sales job at one point in your life ..forget growing in life ....you can't rise to a certain degree ...you can't even think of owning your own company
Banks can give you loans and credit facility but won't give you clients
WIZGUY69: lmfao lmfao; D bro take am easy. I Don laugh tayad. truth be told, anytime I am bored, I do come here to engage one or two iboe boys. because they give u want u want, like : we iboes are all billionaires, we owns S.A, south Africa etc. they even go as far as having the best neighbourhood in the world. Bro. let's be realistic, does that not call for laughter?
WIZGUY69: all your life is pictures pictures. are u indirectly telling us that you are photographer? u mean u don't have tfare to tour Yoruba cities yourself?
Maybe I am maybe I am not ....mind you in that thread I did not post any Yoruba city picture .I was just enjoying other pictures
Have you visited that thread. ..I have been to many Yoruba enclaves ...and I do not see it as vital in snapping pictures
Even if I will snapp I will do the cultural things so
Go back to that thread and know for yourself
I don't post Yoruba pictures but I think it will be nice if you tell your story yourself because if you don't do it people will distort it and tell the story for you
SamAbims: I'm a person that likes exploring different options and always wanted to try out a marketing job though I don't have any tangible experience in the field. Everybody I've spoken with has said that career choice is a no go area. That brings me to the question 'why is marketing so dreaded by Nigerian graduates?' To the extent that a colleague told me he would rather remain unemployed than take up a marketing job. Please I need to read you opinion and maybe nairalanders can please share their marketing experience.
Just because Nigerian graduates most of them are lazy and can't handle marketing
The fastest way to any top postvin organisations is marketing
dalaman: Pure apologist thrash. Where is your God's greatness? Where are his manifestation of signs and wonders all over the world in ages past and present and where is he being witnessed by people alive and by those who died? As usual you will come up with your own deluded christian apologist thrash forgetting that there are about 1.8 billion muslims in the world that can conjure up such statements and also have religious experiences that are just like yours or even more than yours.
Let me give you one of the clear manifestations and signs of Allah. Here is video of a new born baby that was born to Indian Hindu parents calling the name of Allah.
Flyoruboy: Truth is, even they know that they have NO future in the SW region. Some are already taking heed and agitating for Biafra and I support them 100%. Lagos is too far from Igboland to be within igbo sphere of influence. They should try "Igweocha"/Ph, that's closer to home for them.
Hawaii is too far from USA yet it was annexed
Hong Kong is far from China yet it can be annexed
Lagos is just few nautical miles ..so that can be annexed

The only Igbo that will end up in the Lagoon will be a dead one, so you can feel free to begin sand filling your graveyard.
