I have always spoken and defended the igbos, but you all need to tone it down at this point. It's a fact that some yorubas are tribalistic and must be condemned, but then they have a legitimate concern, too. I follow a lot of white people on Twitter and elsewhere. There is a growing disdain for immigrants, whether they be legal or illegal because the citizens are endangered with these culture mixtures. Mostly illegal immigrants who go about raping girls and causing other security issues. And just imagine an Afghanistan immigrant telling the whites in their own country to respect his religion and all that stuff and fighting for rights he cannot have in his own country. It is bullshit.
So, you see. There is always a limit to what any man can take, and at this point some of you need to tone it down.

are we not one country again?

That may not last the next 50 years?

enjoy it while it last

cocolacec:
How many British,Americans are taking up political positions in Yorubaland or the East? If Yorubas take political posts in Western world only the westerners can take political appointment in Yorubaland as a principle of reciprocity.

Westerners are not Igbos.How many Yorubas take up political appointments in Igboland from Councillors,LG Chairmen,commissioners,deputy Governor?
You think migrating enmass to Yorubaland will give you the edge over the affairs of Yorubas.

We might one day unleash mass migration of Diaspora Fulanis,Togolese,Cameroonians into Igboland to change your demographics too.

mumu, one Nigeria

kingthreat:
Complaining of what? Are we encroaching on your erosion land?

it's one Nigeria 😂

Goke7:
Ibadan, Kano, kaduna, benin, port harcourt, Warri and so on are all cosmopolitan too, why are the igbos not dragging those cities too

What’s so special about Lagos? Or is there anything else we should know

go and check meaning of cosmopolitan

kingthreat:
We only go to fruitful lands.

So stop complaining

Thanksful:
How would a Yoruba man rent house in his land?

So Yorubas from Ogun and Osun carry their land to Lagos?

The source of the said list should be investigated and whoever is pushing the news must be invited by DSS for further investigation and confirmations to establish what's true or not.

Moreover, I believe the publisher must know the victims and or deceased to have provided the names and lists accordingly.

this list is frkm the investigatory committe set up by Sanwolu himself

LordReed:
If that's the case what is the point of pursing the subject?

This is why I agree many times with ignoticism.

There's no point at all pursuing it, everyone should just live their lives like the question of God is irrelevant. It still doesn't mean that God doesn't exist

What are the other methods of observing our environment

sociology helps study humans society, it's not science.
For example, you cannot use just science you resolve the societal issues that resulted from the Biafran war. You can use knowledge from sociology to resolve it.

Even psychology is arguablt not science but it has its sphere and it answers many questions that science cannot answer.

You cannot know if a deistic god exist, we will never know because the goalpost will be shifted forever, so science will never find out and is not interested in finding out. The earlier you realize this, the better
I realized this, and it's why I am an agnostic now.


Science many times can answer the question of "how", it fails when you start asking questions of "why" with respect reality.

LordReed:
Of course but then how do you know?

we may never know. I don't know how we will know.

LordReed:
I agree. Science cannot scry out everything especially gods that leave no measurable traces or gods that cannot be distinguished from nonexistent phenomenon.

Is still doesn't mean that such God doesn't exist.

When they will kill you, they will not select tribe.

When they want to cheat you, they will select tribe. Don't be stupid

Scientism is an ideology that suggests that all knowledge can and should be absolutely dependent on scientific methods without considering the limitations of science with respect to many topics. Scientism with regards to atheism thinks that scientific method can determine the existence of all gods, without putting into consideration that there's a specific kind of God that is deistic that is beyond the scope of science. They also fail to realize that science is actually not interested in disproving gods, even if it tries, it can never disprove all gods, hence science is Agnostic with respect to religion.

Scientism is bad because it's

1. An inherently self-refuting philosophy.
2. Unscientific.
3. Dogmatic.

Dogmatism and science are completely antithetical to each other, so viewing science in a dogmatic way (which scientism does) completely defeats the entire purpose of the scientific method which was specifically designed to avoid dogmatism when applied correctly.

Science is aware of the limitations of the scientific method (as taught in science class). Scientism, on the other hand is not… and doesn't take those limits into account in the reasoning process when determining what is true in reality.

This leads to a plethora of logical errors, such as the unwarranted dismissal of untested / untestable claims, the dogmatic blind belief in the current consensus, it leads to Naturalistic extrapolations for whatever the scientific method can't answer, and many many more logical errors from the mis-application of the scientific method.

Honestly, I'd say scientism may be the most damaging philosophy of our time when fully & properly understood and it is what informs the philosophical choice of many atheists.

The problem is so few atheists fully & properly understand it that they conflate science with Scientism, which is precisely what results in the the numerous intellectual errors, some of which I described.

Scientism is, unfortunately, a very widespread philosophy and atheists who adhere to it are almost always unaware they are. The worst part is Scientism is a common philosophy within the scientific community itself, significantly detracting from their credibility overall.

Those who adhere to Scientism typically assume a HIGHER sense of scientific literacy for blindly believing the current consensus, when in reality that means their scientific literacy is LOWER. Science is not a body of knowledge to be blindly believed. It's a METHOD of discovery requiring no faith… including no faith in academia's current consensus.

Science is not absolute, there are many aspect of life that science cannot explain, it is why we have special fields like sociology, art and commerce that will take care of them. This doesn't mean that I believe many religious gods, I am just saying that atheists are as myopic in their views as even many religious people. Atheists are overdependent on the efficacy of science and practically worship it.

I thought Yorubas are very educated and enlightened.
What's all these rubbish?

ImpregnaTor:
With the wave of the LP movement and the way they voted in the presidential election is ok to assume a repeat of that in the governorship elections.

Do you think Labour party will win all the governorship seats in South East(Ebonyi,Abia,Enugu)?

Pls drop your realistic view

Labour party will win Enugu and Abia. I don't know about Ebonyi.

Labour party will also win plateau and crossrivers state. And maybe, Delta and Lagos

Nonsense, so how come they can mate to bear non-sterile offsprings?

Do you know what the definition of a "species" is?

udemzyudex:
I don't understand? This is his last term and the house of assembly won't just decide to impeach him if he didn't do anything bad.

All this tension is unnecessary.

exactly, he's juys being paranoid

We are building structure for LP, sorry obaseki

EPIJOE:
CAN A YORUBA MAN TRY TO BECOME A GOVERNOR IN ANAMBRA? WILL U PEOPLE ACCEPT? THE MAN JUST SAID THE TRUTH.

who's stopping Yoruba people from migrating in numbers to Anambra, establish themselves there to an extent that they become poltically relevant?
If they can, yes, a yoruba man can become governor of Anambra state.

FreedomArmy:
nothing is wrong with igbos taking over and we should encourage that.

Nope, don't see it as a takeover. It's not a takeover.

An Igbo man has ruled Lagos in the past, why didn't igbos takeover?

FreedomArmy:
My friend let me tell you the reality and it's a bitter reality. Igbos will eventually take over Lagos in the next 10 years Maximum. I mean this guys have the number to do it. There are over 5million igbos scattered all over Lagos. Now tell me what will happen if 5million Igbos head to the poll and vote who will become the governor of Lagos.
From 2027, anybody who wants to win governorship position in Lagos must make an Igbo man the deputy governor.

So what's wrong with that? Is this not one Nigeria?
Is Lagos not a cosmopolitan city?

Are Yorubas not taking poltical positions in western countries? Whadafuck is wrong with you guys?

I use to think that Yorubas are enlightened people but many of you reason like garbage

Please note that this post is not generalizing because we have sane Yorubas who don't reason this way.


The problems with many Yorubas is that they have this unfounded suspicion and psychologically paranoia that igbos will someday Takeover Lagos from them. The cause of this psychological issue is not far fetched:

1. Mainly because Igbos in Lagos aren't doing badly business and monetary wise.

2. Many Yorubas expect igbos to be subservient to them and always be within their whims and caprices. But igbos really don't care, we cannot sever you. We can only do our business, mind it, pay federal and state taxes, that's the only thing we owe Lagos state.

3. Again, we cannot worship Yorubas, Yorubas should not expect us to because you are not doing us any Favour. Igbos like every other tribes in Nigeria are playinf significant economic role in the development of Lagos and Lagos state is receiving huge revenue in tax with respect to that. Let's just give each other mura respect for peace to reign.

4. We are not taking Lagos, we are only doing business there. It's your land. Stop the inferiority complex. We can decide to vote for whoever we like, don't see it as a threat to your lives. We are not your servants.

5. We are minding our business, we are here to do business and make a living for ourselves and in turn pay tax to Lagos state government. We are not here to worship the Yorubas. We will never do that.


The earlier you accept that igbos are never going to worship you, the better. The relationship between Lagos state and igbos is not parasitic but mutaulistic. We are contributing our quota to the development of Lagos state and we don't intend taking it away from you.
Yorubas should stop beating the drum of war for myopic political reasons. Since you have been gaining politically, is the life of an average Yoruba man better than an Igbo man financially? No, it's because we igbos know how to go about getting money irrespective of the poltical challenge against us. We are tick people, we don't runaway from challenges, we face it head-on and we cannot runway from tribal bigoted Yorubas.

Do let's come together and vote right instead of voting tribalistically.
Thanks for reading.

Nefort:
Then you are from Obio Akpor.

I am from Abia state sir

porthouse7:
and so? He already said he's not Igbo, the guy hate Igbo with passion

Shut up

Nefort:
That's not Igbo.

So how come I understand?

chrisxxx:
You are confused here. Igbos are Ikwerres who migrated to hinterland. In essence Igbos speak a kind of adulterated Ikwerre.

lol, another theory

Munamoqel:
when will he visit those beaten up by obidents in the east for voting Non IGBO ?

Ask your miserable father

See how he's speaking pure Igbo
