It's really appalling that whenever the Ibos select a candidate, which they do in their homes, these tribalistic people make it about them. In some states, people are asked to cast their votes based on personal interests. Is Jimi Agbaje still considered a Chinedu? Even if a full-fledged Yoruba were to emerge today, these tribalistic people would fabricate a tale about how he once dated an Ibo female as a young man. Hahahaha They portrayed Goodluck Jonathan with this same hatred calling him names, even a renown Yoruba scholar called Patience Jonathan a hippopotamus. To them it’s all about them. Very clannish in nature! They are making it about the Ibos; who will be the next?

These folks have a big scheme to enslave other clans that are minorities in the South.


The Fulanis treat the Hausas similarly. After they have cornered Igbos they will pick another southern clan. If this is not the case, then why did the Yorubas still vie for power after serving as president and vice president, respectively?

As you see them getting jobs in southern Nigerian positions, no one seems to worry or even profile them because they believe that this is one Nigeria. All the juicy jobs in SPDC, Mobil et are being held by the Yorubas but going forward, that will alter. Or did everyone else mistakenly believe that just Ibos were the only ones profiled yesterday?

It is the Ibos today, but the Itsekiris or the Binis could be next. Southern Nigerians believe. Fanning the flames of ethno-tribalism is their stock in trade. None of my relative will ever get married to a Yoruba! This profiling that they brought into Nigeria is totally disgusting!

johnfem321:
Pls don’t give such racist advice .. we want the igbos to keep investing in youruba land and dilude themselves… the only thing we neeed is that they should respect their host

It isn’t racist. That’s the truth. Why is it that every election cycle the politicians make it about the Ibos??

Was BRF not the governor of Lagos? Did the Ibos not support him and vote for him?

The political elites stoked all of this ethnic and religious prejudice, which spread when Jimi Agbaje ran for governor and looked prepared to win the Ibo vote. The Igbos want to take your land, the propaganda went. And a supposedly revered stool warned a whole ethnic community that if they did not vote for a certain candidate—even though both are Yoruba—they would drown in the lagoon.

Even one of them was a native Lagosian. Then they started threatening. those who have devoted a lot of investment to a location. I had always heard the cliche that Lagos is a "No man's land" even at home. I'm not even sure who came up with the saying, but blaming the Ibos for everything is revolting! Is Jimi Agbaje not a full-blooded Yoruba?

Due of tribalism, you all are now putting a lot of effort into making LP a regional party. The Ibos are keeping quiet despite the fact that their tribesman won a presidential election that was clearly manipulated, so see how everything is calm. Consider for a moment that if Obi had been a Yoruba candidate, you guys would have made it a Yoruba vs. Ibo conflict.

Even in the US, the white supremacist party constantly tries to win the support of black immigrants rather than oppose them. The Yoruba political leaders are acting in the same way that Trump did to win the 2016 elections by fanning racism.

In Rivers, they backed Wike in his fight with an Amaechi. I haven't heard of any instances where Amaechi attempted to inflame tribalism by making Wike appear to be an Ibo candidate. And just so you know, given the example Yoruba have set, other corrupt political elites will likely soon do the same. creating "Chinedus" out of opposing contenders. Una well done for setting a negative precedent that extends from tribal conflicts to profiling.

My advice to the Ibos.


Ibos move your PVC to your hometown; politics is local, decide your leaders, don’t decide for others. Invest money in your home state. Stay away from getting too comfortable. Pre-Civil War, you made the same error. Don't repeat it! After that happens, you might consider removing your investments from a location where there is open animosity toward you. Never behave like the Hebrews did in Egypt. Don’t be too comfortable!

Quit agitating. Build your home. Make ndigibo a better place by following the example of the Unity that allowed you to rise above the civil war. And if, after building a home, you decide to become a nation, if you are all ready. Choose lawmakers who support the proposed changes and get it done. Avoid destroying your region through so-called agitations because politicians will seize control of them.

You keep pointing one finger outwards while 4 is pointing inwards.

Nigerians who have been in a place for a long time have a tendency to dominate and appear loud. Yorubas are so prevalent in Peckham that there are even Yoruba unions, churches, and mosques there. And local establishments owned by the Yoruba people. Even in the streets, Yoruba is spoken. You might even believe you were in Lagos. I've never once heard the Anglo-Saxon profile them and say “You want to take over our land” with all the yorubaness everywhere ; And in Italy has a street named for the Binis. In some places, there are strong fraternities.

Your long-term residence naturally becomes your home. You often grow emotionally attached to that place.

OlawaleBammie:
edo, deltan, hausas, ijaws and others are not as lousy as the ibos, ibos are always full of themselves so let them deal with whatever shit they find themselves in

“The go and die in the lagoon” phraseIf it were a hostile tribe like the Hausas, Ijaws, or even the Binis, it might have turned into a bloody conflict, and that came from a revered stool. But the Other from that, you want them to stand behind their perceived oppressor.

If they can listen to wise advice

Ibos move your PVC to your hometown; politics is local, decide your leaders, don’t decide for others. Invest money in your home state. Stay away from getting too comfortable. Pre-Civil War, you made the same error. Don't repeat it! After that happens, you might consider removing your investments from a location where there is open animosity toward you.

ProphetM0hammad:
You don't understand anything
Jonathan an ijaw man has been a president before

Nothing like subjugation

The ibos have problem, if you think the yorubas hate them, wait till you hear from Hausas and fulanis what they think about ibos

Go to Asian prisons and see the millions of ibos there on death row

Go to the street of South Africa and Ghana and ask them why they suddenly became hostile to ibos.

I'm surprised that foreigners, especially Africans now ask Nigerians abroad if they are igbo or Yoruba

Are there solely Ibo prisoners in Asian jails? According to a news I read recently, 30 Yoruba people whom were caught selling drugs in the Middle East are on death row. The Igbos may be noisy. Today's youth are notoriously very loud. Is Hush-puppy Ibo?? That’s the loudest person I have ever seen. Imagine if he was Ibo, some lots would have made it about tribe. or is Mompha Ibo?? Is Obagoal Ibo?? Nigerians living abroad can be very loud. Even the binis are loud in Italy. The majority of Nigerians living abroad that indulge in dirty money are loud, the money intoxicates them.

OlawaleBammie:
bro see, the tin is Ibos seee opportunity in everything even when the opportunity would cost them alot an MD it will backfire.

They are also noisy and very cunny.

They love to dominate u even in Ur space and when u don't give that space to dem dey come online to criticize u for bn tribalistic.

They will want to oppress u and still claim to be the victims

And you believe that profiling is the best option? You are creating a very bad precedent by doing it. Why don't other states do that? In Delta, they are everywhere—even rivers. You all focus on them. Do you know how many Edo people live in Lagos? Yet each time there is an election, you make it about them. You make them feel like strangers instead of making them feel at home like BRF did. Threatening them with death in the lagoon and setting fire to their markets. Do you believe that the only non-Yorubas in Lagos are Ibos? Be directed and do the correct thing. A lot of my Igbo friends wanted to Vote for BOS but after the threat and the burning of their market, they changed their minds. You can’t keep oppressing these guys. A fox can cunning, but he’s not invincible. Let’s be guided and do the right thing.

OlawaleBammie:
Let me tell u this bro

The Ibos saw this moment as the time for them to take charge.


Go to every Facebook post, wasap post and Twitter u will understand me better

I'd carry out this. I am well aware that Ibos can be pretty noisy, such as the P-Square brothers who tend to overdo things. You are also well aware that these political elites have the ability to construct profiles in order to sow dissension and fuel ethnic tensions. I have acquaintances who are Ibo who once supported and wanted to vote for BOS, but once the market burned and they were threatened, their voting pattern was altered. Imagine Black immigrant are being threatened with voting for Biden, they would undoubtedly cast their votes for someone else. There is reciprocity. Don't make the Ibos the focus of everything. They would have made it about them even if it was still a full-blooded Yoruba.

Was BRF not a Yoruba man, did he not get the full support of the Ibo community??

Yaribanzaonic:
An Osun man is Governor in Ogun
An Ogun man is Governor in Ondo
An Oyo man is Governor in Ekiti

The basic thing about you people is that you HATE even yourselves, but you need Nigeria as a Nation to channel your HATE to other tribes.

That is why I LOVE what transpired in the Elections so far. The ethnic profiling and vile Propaganda lends credence to the fact that Yoruba are actually very clannish and immensely tribalistic people
I love IGBOs totally, because they want to leave you and your LAGOS, so that you can enjoy it, but same demons will say no, because you are parasites.

It's only a foolish IGBOman that will concentrate his wealth and holdings in a land filled with toxic TRIBALISTIC BIGOTs.

I feel sorry for the Igbos if they don't take this as a lesson since the Yorubas always stoke the flames of ethno-tribal hatred for their candidate of choice. They consistently do this in their other states of residency.

But here in Yorubaland , you make it about them. As suggested by someone. Ibos relocate to your investments in Ibo territory. The Nigeria initiative is really a front. One of the issues with this country is the bigotry of the Yoruba people! Even the younger ones do okay. But, in the older ones, tribalism has eaten deeply into their DNA. This nation's issue is with the Yorubas. It is horrifying how deeply they hate other southern tribes. They are only projecting it on the Ibos for now.

Today it is the Ibos , It might be the Itsekiris,Ijaw or the Binis tomorrow. Just keep an eye on it; it will happen soon! The other southern tribes will soon become the target of their dumb animosity. They would come up with an excuse to do so.

Bunch of dirty sophisticated tribal bigots.

OlawaleBammie:
alaye stop the victims card before it consume u, nobody has time for Ur tears..


Na Ibo first start this nonsense....u guys hated tinubu for no reason, u go online demeaning the yorubas who want to vote for tinubu, calling them tribalistic just because they are not voting for obi.

Now after the presidential election in Lagos that obi manage to win, u went offwire, declaring Lagos a no man's land (that is an insult to the yorubas)

And u re still rubbing it on their face like they can't do anything..seems u re too comfortable that is why uissed Ur boundary.
Igbos are not the only tribe in Lagos, we have majority Hausa who are trooping into Lagos not in buses but in trailers but u never hear them declare Lagos a no man's land.

Now the yorubas are showing u that Lagos belong to the yorubas by whatever power dey have and u re crying foul.

Are u expecting us to beg Ur ego for Ur vote?? Never, Omo baani a jagba lawa.

Even in portharcourt, Ibos were been profiled, in North same tin is happening.. the question u should ask ursef is why is it only Ibos??

Yul edochie had to come online to address u guys that it's wrong to declare Lagos a no man's land when we all know that by tribe and regionality it belongs to the Yoruba.

See na wetin u eye dey find na hin e see oh, stop playing the victim card cus left for me, what happened in Lagos yesterday should be the beginning, I still want more from the yorubas in Lagos...Abi what is the essence of power when u can't use it to intimidate and oppress Ur adversaries??

You suspect everyone in this conversation might be an Ibo person out of insecurity. Remain within the scope of the conversation. Was BRF not the governor of Lagos? Did the Ibos not support him and vote for him?

The political elites stoked all of this ethnic prejudice, which spread when Jimi Agbaje ran for governor and looked prepared to win the Ibo vote. The Igbos want to take your land, the propaganda went.

Una well done for setting a negative precedent that extends from tribal conflicts to profiling.

After the revered Oba of Benin congratulated ASIWAJU recently, their influencers started trending him. Considering that the Ibos are still present, they are already preparing their discourse about how the Yorubas possess Lagos and how the Lagos own Benin. Yoruba and Benin might face off soon. I have come to observe that’s their stock in trade, fanning ethno-tribal sentiments.

If Hitler had been stopped at the beginning, the conflict wouldn't have escalated into a global conflict. You guys would choose a different tribe for your tribal wars after you eventually corner the Ibos. Southern Nigeria make una shine una eyes oooo

OlawaleBammie:
That means u re from delta..

Lemme tell u, deltans have never and will never be a problem to the yorubas.

Deltans are accomodating bro, they are gallant, they don't make mouth, and they are friendly.
Deltans hate cheating and does not take nonsense, but it's on record as well that deltan don't go beyond their boundary.


I have many deltans friend till today both male and females.

Don't we have Ibos in Delta? A lot of them. Have they been profiled? Each election cycle, they have a candidate they support for known reasons and out of personal interest. Despite their considerable numbers, I have never seen an Itsekiri or Urhobo man profile them. Earn their support rather than forcing them to vote for you. You cuss at them, burn their markets and you expect them to vote for you.

Why do the Yorubas always turn elections into Ibo vs. Yoruba battles? This election was even worse. Profiling has now been added. This is how xenophobia got its start in South Africa.

caprock:
But Yorubas are happy to enjoy Niger delta crude oil. Even denying Akwa ibomites employment in Mobil. Deny Deltans employment in Chevron. Do not start what you cannot finish. We are watching.

You see them in SPDC, Mobil, talking key roles, no one gives a Bleep, we all see it as one Nigeria. There’s a grand plan to i subjugate other southern clans like they are doing to the Ibos. Like I said today is the Ibos turn, tomorrow it will be another tribe.

If any party nominates a fully Yoruba candidate in the upcoming election who has no Ibo ancestry, you guys will find a way to claim that he once dated a Yoruba girl when he was a teenager, making the election a Yoruba vs. Ibo conflict. As you all did when you referred to Jimi Agbaje as Jimichukwu, hehe.

Every election cycle, you make prejudice the central issue. Yet, when you people travel to other southern states and take up juicy jobs, everyone sees it through the lens of Nigeria. Going on, this will alter. You people thought you were just profiling the Ibos, but actually you were profiling everyone!

OlawaleBammie:
Wait...u as a Ibo a wan ask..

U get oyel??

I’m not Ibo, I’m from an Oil rich region.

Reality3080:
so we should open our eyes n let igbos take our land

What igbos will never allow in their region is what they want to do here

In Igbo land a priest from enugu can never lead in imo, a man from ebonyi can never become governor in enugu but u want to go to another man’s land n rule

No b juju b dat?

A man from Lagos can never rule in Ogun. A man from Ogbomosho cannot even be the Governor of Oyo, Akala defied all odds. The probability of that happening again is non-existent. I can go on and on.

When the Oil-rich Deltan state or the Rivers state, where the Ibos are many, had not been conquered. Why do you believe that they will seize your state if not your insecurities. When you treat them badly, destroy their markets, and order them to drown in the Lagoon for merely endorsing a fellow Yoruba candidate, abi was Jimi Agbaje not Yoruba enough? Or perhaps he goes by Chinedu, hahahahaha. Since they merely favor a certain politician, you all fan the flames of prejudice and make it Yoruba vs Ibo.

Invictuse:
Does this pathetic wail of sorrow apply in Anambra Enugu Abia Ebonyi n Imo

?

Ibos, who are present in large numbers, have consistently supported the candidates of their choice in other states based on personal interests. Other clans beg and beg for their support, just as Republicans do for votes from black people, but never once have they been singled out for profiling. Just so you know, even though you think you profiled the Ibos, all non-Yorubas were included! Hahahaha

2mch:
Silly excuses. Even your tribe reject the tribalistic party but you want to force it on Yoruba. You must think we are fools.

Reject it on the ballot, and not profile!!!!

OlawaleBammie:
I am proud to be a bigot so far u re oppressed

Politics won't be the end of this trust me; Yorubas who occupy positions in places other than their hometown would also be profiled. As we believe we are one, we don't profile Yoruba persons who occupy important positions in the majority of important oil parastatals. We would begin to profile, this is a promise! Do you believe that the Ibos you profiled yesterday were the only ones affected? Do you know how many people from the Southern Nigeria reside in Lagos?

Throwback:
OP you are right about immigrants from any part of the world attaining political heights in the developed and advanced democratic societies.

What you have not considered.

Those societies already have internal integration such that they are not ethnically tied to specific regions of their countries. Hence any one can contest from any region of their own country as long as they reside there. Example is USA.

So it is equally easy for immigrants to do the same.

Here in the developing democracies, our tribes have not even achieved internal harmony, but some want to achieve external harmony.

Case in point, the Igbos of SouthEast are so clanish in their social structure, that an Mbaise man from Imo cannot achieve political position in Nnewi in Anambra, and vice versa.

You’re right with this your assertion. Even in Oyo state, it’s easier for a camel to pass trough the eye of a needle than from a man from Ogbomosho to be Governor. Although, Akala defied all odds, the chances of that happening again is almost impossible.

But ethnic profiling is a new low, that’s a very bad precedent.

optionalY09:
Shut up, because we just showed you small smoke screen you’re crying.

Did you remember you’re always calling us cowards for no reason. Simply because we are hospitable and unaggressive by culture. Your people take advantage of our young ones because they have been trained to respect people who are older than them. You people came and ruined our moral values with aggression, intolerance and greed

Who’s you people? Drug dealing, ritualism, and intolerance are part of the culture. The Yoruba people only have such culture, as far as I'm aware. the most virulent bigot ever!!! I have not heard Sunak's true owners refer to him as "Omo ale," despite the fact that he is an Indian and the prime minister of the UK.

Because it won't just end in politics, the ethnic-tribal feelings you guys introduced to Nigerian politics make una ready o, it’s going to be every sector. I'm not an Ibo man either!

OlawaleBammie:
If u don't want to be enslave maybe u should go to Ur aguleri

Bigot! Anyone that exposes your innate bigotry becomes Ibo to you! Hahahaha

Why would they still fight to become president after serving as president and vice president for eight years if this weren't the case? Just beware—the location of the presidency will alternate between the North and the South-West. Please do not claim that I didn’t say it. It's time to grow up, southern Nigerians and Niger-deltans. These bigots from the tribe are pulling a clever ruse. It’s an agenda!

2mch:
Where are the LP Governors in SE? Ethnic profiling indeed. Elect LP all over SE first. You come to Lagos and first start the tribal and religious politics. Even trying to split Yoruba Muslim and Christians. Not knowing the strategy go carry you where you no know.

So you lots can term it a tribalistic party as you all are already doing.

Kapeter:
Na from una anus una dey think self abi wetin? Even small minority ijaw wey dey with us for Ondo state we never enslave Dem finish na warri people we go come go their land go enslave, abi na Efik, Urhobo et all we go go their land go enslave. Why una Mumu too much like dis self.

Do it's now a crime to try to protect your heritage olohun I nor know o. I wonder how many times the many Yorubas working in the oil sector in Warri and Port Harcourt have rise to interfere in the politics of the locals over there or claiming their land as no mans land.

Una go just open mouth wa talk nonsense. I bet you have no idea the population of Yorubas in the oil sector of Delta state.

Ethnic profiling to preserve cultural heritage?? The Niger delta's inhabitants ought to beware of you guys.

I was reading through some elite Yorubas' comments on Twitter when I came across many tribalistic remarks about yorubaness and how they are taking over the country and key sectors. They want to do what the Fulanis are doing to the Hausas. There is, as I already stated, a big strategy to rule over other southern clans. The same guys forced a Southerner out because of their selfish interest.

2mch:
The tears are delicious. Expecting from people what you won’t take is complete madness.

Ethnic profiling is a new low. This was how Xenophobic attacks started in South Africa. If you don’t see anything wrong with this, then you have no business commenting. Just read and swerve!

Now, some would say, "Play the local politics of your host community the way they want it," but when these black Nigerian migrants do travel to the US, they support the Democratic Party, which goes against the wishes of the bulk of white supremacists. This is a result of the Democratic Party's stance regarding migrants in general. It's safe to say that the Democratic Party has become the party of immigrants. Yet I haven't noticed Republicans harassing or profiling immigrants or telling them not to contest for political offices. It was once said on this forum that Tinubu's presidency would turn the Yorubas into the most despised tribe; now you can see why that was said. The precedent the Yorubas set would come back to bite.

Iamgrey5:
Tears every where on Nairaland

When it rains, it pours

I have absolutely no interest in it; I'm just being honest about the facts. How much worse has it gotten since tribal profiling entered our political system. I'm not even Ibo, but this is just a warning to other southern tribes that the Yorubas are up to something. It would be exposed to everyone in the upcoming months.

Nigerian immigrants who live abroad achieve the highest levels of success politically or economically. You don't fucking have any of their bloodline, but as a citizen, you still get to enjoy sane priorities. However, in Nigeria, the political elites have stoked the fires of ethno-religious bigotry for their own self-serving interests. And some credulous individuals have engaged in ethnic profiling. Today it is the Igbos; tomorrow it can be Edo or the Itsekiris The Yorubas intend to enslave other southern clans that are minorities, just like what the Fulanis are doing to the Hausas. And to know that they did the same thing to Goodluck Jonathan. NOW THE BIG QUESTION IS WHO’S NEXT

Buccalcavity2:
I see you side-stepped the achievements mentioned. Dunces won't have created what APC did in Lagos
Look we can't strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
Fash is a successful Minister by any standard. Please do a comparison. No hate.is it the tax credit project financing initiatives or his sense of project coordination& accomplishments
On flooding. You made Same gaffe a governorship candidate made at the debate. Lagos has flood control infrastructures and arguably the only state in Nigeria to invest that much. Not there yet but they are working. Watch the debate/read.
Compare Lagos to its peer states from 1999 to date in economic indices. The difference is clear. That's the only way to appreciate it.
Stop crying more than the bereaved. BRF gives the credit to BAT. AA has not spoken. Let them politik while we enjoy governance.

What does it mean to be successful? He once said that fixing the power in six months wasn't rocket science. no appear eight years later His style is not distinctive or cutting edge.

Tell me, please, what infrastructures are in place. Is that why it always ends in calamity when it rains?

Thus, if you praise the virtues of leaders whose policies he did not support, it is appropriate to criticize him for the leaders he appointed in other Yoruba states like DA and GO, in which he had complete faith. Any slowpoke would make a good governor of Lagos, and I stand by that statement.

Several states in Nigeria don't even produce that much money in 4 years, compared to what Lagos makes each month. Lagos has never been on par with any State before to 1999. Since its founding, it has existed in the modern era. Lagos was the center of Nigeria's trade when the white people first migrated there and took advantage of its advantageous location. Lagos was therefore already light years ahead of the majority of Nigerian cities even in the pre-colonial era.

No other state in Nigeria even comes close to Lagos in terms of wealth. How has the purportedly responsible government addressed traffic. In Lagos, being stuck in traffic for hours on end is commonplace. Even if it cannot be eliminated, something must be done.

With the extremely limited resources they had, Dave Umahi and Adams Oshiomole transformed their respective states. The same is true for Donald Duke from Cross River State.

What is the government doing, or what has the government done, with the extremely vast resources in Lagos?? I can only single out BRF and AA as the two most creative leaders in Lagos. Was it not AA who opened up the Epe and Ibeju axis with the extensive development around that axis, despite the claim made by the current Yoruba candidate that he was not adhering to the master plan and now the current leadership is now benefiting from a flawed master plan? The Ibeju-Lekki/Epe axis that AA opened up isn't it where he's commissioning all of these projects?
