Is that a female agbo seller on the pictures there?

jjjjj2017:
lol, there's no need for you to flare up. Igbo are my personal person & we no fit fight.
my children got Igbo names & I do visit my in law at least 2 times a year in igboland.

Proves nothing. You can please change your children's names to kamirudeeeeen, and ashishaaat

How many will he send to Maiduguri?

laudate:
He who asserts must prove. So stop trying to twist the story. You claimed they are not accommodating. I have asked you repeatedly to define accommodating. I have even asked you if it is all parts of the Southwest that are not accommodating. Instead of doing so, you are trying to be mischievous by twisting the narrative. Na so una dey do. _mtcheew The tantrums you have been throwing are visible to everyone. Weren't you the first person to start whining, that you had to pay levies to touts and that the Southwest was not accommodating? As if the touts at Onitsha and Aba are more welcoming, than those in other areas of the Southeast.

Let's do to this way Laudate , the South West is not accommodating to Igbos or any other tribes in Nigeria because;

1. The government of the South West states have no special polices packaged for only Igbos, they neither grant them loans to do business nor give them tax waivers because they are Igbos.

2. The indigenous people of the south west do not issue free lands or free accommodation for either temporary or permanent settlers in yorubaland.

3. There is no special hotels and bukaterias where food is given to Igbos or any other tribes in Nigeria because they are visitors.

4. I have never heard that Yoruba people give their children in marriage to visitors free of charge. Or reduce the bride price just because the husband to be is an Igbo.

5. There is no government in yorubaland that has built, completed and handed over shops to Igbos free of charge.

Now, tell me more about the word "accommodating "

laudate:
Nobody is getting emotional. You are the one casting aspersions on other ethnic groups, and claiming that they are not 'accommodating.' Like I asked you earlier, do you know the meaning of the word accommodating? Check the dictionary before you start throwing words around, anyhow. Who even said accommodation has to be free? Oh, you want them to give you free lands and houses, before you can say they are accomodating? Why are you people so strange? Things you cannot allow strangers to do to you in your own region, you expect to get it for free when you get to the Southwest.

I will always say one thing. I may not be from the Southwest, but the people there and their cities have been quite favourable to me. Unlike you, I will not turn round in ingratitude, to tar them with a black brush of calumny.

In your long essay, you still failed to prove the South West is accommodating to Igbos. What is it the people of the south west are doing for Igbo people to make them earn the title of "accommodating "

Please list your points serially and stop throwing temper tantrums.

HAIL BIAFRA!!

Is Lagos a South West state?

laudate:
You are just being mischievous. If those places in Yorubaland were not accommodating, you would not even be able to do business there and survive. So stop exaggerating. For you and your people to troop into those places on a daily basis, it only proves that it is your own region which you struggle to escape from, that is not accommodating. Other ethnic groups also live within those places that were mentioned earlier in Yorubaland, and none of them have come up to say Yorubaland is not accommodating.

Now you're getting emotional, tell me what you mean by accommodating? Giving us free capital or lands to settle and cooking rice for all those who travel to the South West?

Pharaoh9:
But Urhobo has tie with Efik, Ibibio, Ogoja etc

That's their freaking business.

afongha:
Yes, I know he's from a rich family and all, but seriously, the kind of money I see around him these days. . . Toyota Venza and all

Toyota venza of 3m is what you dey para about? His father can close his eyes and buy him 5 cars. The guy is a high Prince.

laudate:
So out of all the towns, villages and hamlets in Yorubaland, which ones are not accommodating? List them. And if they are not accommodating, why do your people still troop there? Why can't they sit down in their own region? Na by force? You claim a place is not accommodating, yet you do everything humanely possible to rush down there, settle down there, do business and even try to buy property there.... and you have the guts to claim it is not 'accommodating.' If it was hostile to you and your people, would they have been able to reside there? Or is it that you do not know the meaning of the word 'accommodating?'

Like I told you earlier, we settle because of our need to do business and survive, not because the people welcomed us. They only sell lands to us because we can afford to buy them at ridiculously high prices, not because they love us.

WAEC is very tribalistic. Not even a Yoruba state in the top 10?

Kamelot77:
malpractice everywhere

Weeping and wailing and crying and gnashing of teeth

The surprise is Edo, do they have igbo genes

laudate:
Yeah, several. I have visited all the states in the Southwest, from Lagos, to Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Ondo and parts of Kwara and Kogi, where Yoruba communities are located. I do not think there is anywhere, from Ifo to Efon-Alaye, Okemesi to Ikare, or Okitipupa to even Badagry, where you would not find an Igbo man. If Yorubaland was so hostile to them, why would they keep trooping there?

We are even in Maiduguri and will even do business in Sambisa forest, that does not mean the place is accommodating.

laudate:
Why? Should I have said every part, when that is not the case? Some of us deal with facts. Others like you, deal in exaggeration.

Is there any "part" of yorubaland that is accommodating to Igbos?

Pato5:
I have done business in the east, I can't say my experience cause I will be promoting disunity.
This is a fight for all. It's natural for human to be jealous of his neighbor's perceived success. Come closer to those you perceive as enemy and show love and you will see the beauty

That's the problem, how can I show omo alaye love?

laudate:
The same thing happens in Port-harcourt and different parts of Rivers State, Bayelsa and certain areas in Delta State. Their touts will always come up to you to demand one levy or the other.

Glad you said some parts.

jjjjj2017:
It's a big fat lie bro. Have you wonder why Igbo can't do without living I'm South West?

Because of the ports, and the resultant businesses. But it will change soon.

jjjjj2017:
Go & check well, Yorubas are doing great acadically both home & abroad.

What is the connection between doing well academically and brown roofs?

Pato5:
I know how it feels. Even here in the north while growing up I have been told to go back to my undeveloped region.
Believe me this division only favors the elite.

It doesn't favour the elites alone, what about the street urchins and miscreants constituting themselves as nuisance and disturbing every movement I make with my business while the state government gives them protection?

The country is very doomed.

Na wao

Pato5:
Even within each tribe there will be sub units
Trust me separation is entirely not the solution. What you thing is a problem in the east is also a problem in the west et al.
See the unity in our diversity dear

How can I be agitating for a joint country with yorubas who still see me as a stranger even with my lands and property bought and maintained in yorubaland? Me that was born in Lagos and some people come up and tell me they are omo alaye and expect me to settle them?

What sort of troublesome union is that?

betterABIAstate:
according to history, owerri and Onitsha are both older than Ibadan which was created in early 1800s. So what are you saying?

You cannot even find 2 storeyed houses in Onitsha again, guys are demolishing to build 4, 5 decking

jjjjj2017:
But do you know what brown roof symbolizes?

Brown roof shows that SW has been developed long before other region smell development. up till today, some aboki still lives inside house built with leaves & barks & some SS/SE people still lives inside houses that looks like hut.

Take two;

Brown roof in my part of the country symbolises stagnancy, poverty and a lack of progress. We have all had to tear down our dad's zink roof to roof with aluminium. Brown roof is mocked in my area.

Some people from the North may be comfortable living in houses built with leaves. It's their choice. Nobody in the east lives in huts anymore. All the hits in my community are no longer standing.

We are not the same, really.

Freemancipation:
Enough of urhobo don't want Biafra stupid threads.This is like the 10th one on nairaland under 2 months. We got the point the first time. The yellow map circulating was not made by IPOB. Say no to attention seeking

Thank you. There are more than 27 annoying threads to get Igbos to notice Urhobo. Na only In a waka come?

Every region should revolt on their own terms. I dont want to face the problem of tribalism on the revolution grounds. The thing attecting the east or South, is different from what is affecting the west, or north.

Separation is a better solution.

legislatively:
What is wrong with it?

I noticed the brown roof though, it's so much in Oshogbo

Is there an award for the "brownest roof" competition in yorubaland?

YourImaginaryBF:
its one thing to read and its another to understand. This thread is talking about the urhobos dissociating themselves from the fraud called biafra. No urhobo monarch,king , tradition ruler has come out to tell the world he's in support of biafra. you igbos have nothing in common with urhobos so stop trying to force yourselves on them

Igbos has never come out to claim Urhobo, while Urhobo monarchs keep on bleating like goats against Biafra which nobody has ever remembered them in.

I repeat, Urhobos can never be related to Igbos.

Which Igbo monarch was this goat who granted this interview replying? Nobody. He was just seeking to be noticed by Nnamdi Kanu.

Urhobos has nothing in common with Igbos, they should mind their lane and stop attaching themselves to Igbos.

YourImaginaryBF:
threads opened by igbos you mean. Igbos who are forcefully trying trying to include the urhobos in biafra.

Who opened this thread? Urhobos.
It's Urhobos begging to join Biafra. If not let them spare us the long grammar and focus on South West unity. I repeat, Urhobos are more related to yorubas.

jared007:
My dear Igbo brothers u know it's unfair to include Urhobo in Biafra map without their consent.

Ipob has been campaigning everywhere in the east without stating clearly to the Niger-Delta minorities the Long-term plan and agenda for a prosperous future Biafra

Urhobo has been more productive in Yorubaland than in Igboland e.g an Urhobo is a member of the Federal house of representatives in Lagos State, an Urhobo is a Local government chairman in Ekiti State and many more to even continue listing.

Those of u that think Urhobos are not the fourth or fifth largest ethnic group in Nigeria should step forward with facts becos Nigeria hasn't enjoyed a credible census since its creation.

Exactly, Urhobos are more related to yorubas than Igbos, they should do well to align with their South West brothers and not be opening threads everyday seeking to attract the attention of Igbos.
