That isn't a criteria to be tribalistic. The fact that GEJ has used religion and tribe to create sectionalism in Nigeria; the Igbos have always had that tendency of tearing Nigeria apart.

Why tf did Biafra set up an embassy in Holland?

There has always been tribalism and sectionalism in Nigeria and this will never change. It did not start with GEJ. Nigeria is an invention of the White man,it's not a nation in any sense of the word. I'm an Igboman first before Nigerian. As for us Igbos,we have always wanted to opt out of Nigeria,we even fought a war for this. Nigeria is just a collection of ethnic groups kept together by force of arms and not by choice. That's why it is not a country

theAtheist101:
You are getting it twisted. Nigeria didn't fight for Biafra, but Niger/delta oil. If Biafra had opted out of Nigeria without claiming Niger/delta, there wouldn't have been a war.

And How did you expect Biafra to leave the Niger-Delta? Do you know the number of Delta-Igbos,Rivers Igbos,Etche-Igbos and so on in the Niger-Delta? Even the so called Niger-Delta declared their independence before Ojukwu declared Biafra in 1967. Isaac Boro declared the Niger-Delta republic in 1966

Next thing you will be offering me "swimming lessons" cause I'm Igbo Abi?

Alhaji Rochas must be shown the way out of Government house today. Hopefully,Iheanacho will carry the day.

Absolute rubbish!! Who are these Odua foundation? So as an Igbo man I am now a foreigner in Lagos? The Yorubas actually think they are doing us Igbos a favour by accommodating us in Lagos? How laughable. Did we come to Lagos to beg for food? This is the same Lagos the Yorubas "sold" to the British as a crown colony in the 1860's. The same Lagos that Igbos left 1967 to go back home and create their own nation of Biafra but the Yorubas teamed up with their Hausa comrades to fight a war to bring us back. Well we Igbos are here now and we ain't going no where. As far as I'm concerned,the Oba of Lagos is a nobody and Lagos is a satellite Igbo territory. Agbaje to win!!!! Fork APC!!!

OP, I understand where you are coming from. Just like most Yorubas and Northernwrs believe in the British inspired fraud called 'Nigeria', so also must the SS reach the realisation that they must unite with the SE people to leave Nigeria. There's no point wasting time on resource or political control while we are part of Nigeria. If you want to control your resources and politics,you have to agitate for your own separate country. I can guarantee you 100% that if it had been the North who had oil and sea-port,they would have divided Nigeria long before Ojukwu declared Biafra. Only two kinds of people believe in "one Nigeria". The ignorant ones and those who are scared about how they will survive without oil money. The SE/SS people must unite and breakaway from the cesspool of deciet called Nigeria.

African Queen track Neva reach 15years
2005 just ten years back

maybe you heard African Queen in 2005, I heard that track long before 2005

I just visited Captain Iheanachos campaign website!!! He did not step down for any body!!! He said on the website that PDP has resorted to telling the electorate that APGA candidates are stepping down for them. This is a lie! They are doing the same in Abia and Ebonyi. APGA has nothing to do with PDP except supporting president Goodlucks re-election.

MAYOWAAK:
Most Igbos says they are the people that developed Lagos and made Lagos what it is today. They say without Igbos, Lagos is finished. And i keep wondering, how has Igbos helped in shaping and developing Lagos?

Lets get the fact right, Igbos didn't develop Lagos rather, it was Lagos that shaped and made the Igbos what they are today. Without igbos in Lagos, Lagos will remain Lagos and without Lagos, most Igbos may likely be nothing.

Reason for my assertion is that most giant and top companies that attracts millions of people across the country to Lagos are not owned by the Igbos so, how has Igbos shaped and developed Lagos?

This are the achievements and economic advancement Igbos gave Lagos and Lagosians; tokunbo and fake spare parts at Ladepo Market, China Electronics and pirated CDs at Alaba market, bend-down select cloths at Idumota and yaba and kotangowa market, Chinese and tokunbo computers accessories and phones at Computer village Ikeja are Igbos economical achievement and contribution to Lagos. In fact, most Igbos are causing nuisance in Lagos. A visit to this markets will tell you the amount of nuisance that Most Igbos has caused in Lagos. The environments this Igbos traders are mostly populated are always polluted with waste of all sorts, they are dirty, stinking, rough, erection of illegal shops on road, on pipeline and railway lines are encouraged in this market places that causes traffic gridlock and other dangerous acts and when Lagos state government dismantle this illegal shops, they get angry, if Lagos state government close their shops for environmental violation, they pick offence. How then has the Igbos developed Lagos?

As long as am concerned, PZ, COCA-COLA, 7UP, CADBURY, MTN, ZAIN, GLO, ETISALAT, DANGOTE, SHOP-RITES, GOLDEN PENNY, FLOUR MILL, INDOMIE, UNILEVER, P&G, CHI LIMITED, GUINNESS, NIGERIA BREWERIES, OANDO, CONOIL, TOTAL, MOBIL, CHEVRON, SHELL, AQUADANA, KFC, EKO HOTEL, INTER CONTINENTAL HOTEL, PROTEA HOTEL, JULIUS BERGER, RCC CONSTRUCTION, NESTLE, KPMG, GSK, FRISLAND FOOD, WAMCO, BRITISH AMERICA TOBACCO, FLOUR MILL, SCHLUBEGER, AIT, SILVERBIRD TV, CHANNELS TV, LARFARGE, etc are not own by the Igbos. This companies are what attracted millions of people to Lagos.

Igbos shouldn't lay claim that they develop a place by becoming nuisance. Most of the top churches in Lagos are not also owned by Igbos. House on the Rock, Redeem, Christ Embassy, Deeper life, living faith, MFM, etc are not owned by Igbos, the only church that's reasonable that's owned by an Igbo man is TREM, while another Igbos church Lord Chosen church encourage nuisance in Lagos and it also double as the most dirtiest church in Lagos.

Records shows that 75% of robbery cases in Lagos are carried out by Igbos, 85% of ritual cases in Lagos are carried out by Igbos, 60% of drug cases in Lagos are carried out by Igbos, 70% of fraud cases in Lagos are carried out by Igbos, 90% of pirated CDs in Lagos are carried out by Igbos, 60% of fake and Adulterated drugs in Lagos that has kill thousands of Lagosians are carried out by Igbos, in fact, most of the crimes in Lagos are related to the Igbos so how has Igbos developed Lagos when they can't get their hands off crimes?

There's no Igbo man among the top three richest people in Nigeria, so how are they successful?

The truth is that Igbos should be grateful that the Yorubas accommodated them in Lagos peacefully, they shouldn't take the Meekness and kindness of the Yorubas for granted.

Igbos didn't make Lagos but its actually Lagos that made Igbos.

And with all you wrote about Igbos, if the same Igbos say they want to go home and form their own nation of Biafra, it will be Nigerians like you who will come out prepared for war to keep the same Igbos in your fake "one Nigeria". Also, you talk about Lagos making the Igbos but conveniently forgot that the large international commercial hubs of Onitsha,Nnewi and Aba were created by the Igbos and they are not even state capitals like Lagos. Can you tell me any other geo-political zone that has such hubs? The contribution of the Igbos in making Lagos what it is can never be doubted.

She is 31? Correct me if I'm wrong but she was in Tuface Idibias "African Queen" video released about 15 years ago. So she was 16 at the time

blacksta:
Intresting that a man would totally hinge all his bets on the Igbo people...what about the Yoruba's......

If that is the case no way he can win this election

What other choice has Agbaje got but to appeal to the Igbo vote? He knows that the only thing standing between him and Government house is if the Igbos come en mass to vote for him on Saturday. The Oba of Lagos made Agbajes job much easier.

The Cat is going down. If you take a good look at the steps. See where the steps meet the wall and you might see what some call the "step marks". It is usually painted over in most buildings so some may never have seen it. The "step marks" are in descending order which means the cat is going down. The cat would need to be 'flying' if it were going up

Joycomethnow:
Moderator, why do you allow a thread that promote tribal divide? It seems that the younger generation in Nigeria are more tribalistic than our fathers. What is all these Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa in a purported United Nigeria? Young Nigerians place tribe far and above Nationality. This Nairaland is becoming a plateform to showcase tribal hatred.
Please Mod, sanitize this Nairaland before seriouse minded Nigerians lost complete interest in this social media. I rest my case.

Your problem is that you think Nigeria is united

dazangel11:
I am Igbo and let Mr say that other tribes don't like the igbos even the delta Igbo tribes but my question is why not give them their Biafra ? since you don't like them. and their attitude. let's give them Biafra and see if they are this bad or being hated for no reason at all.

They can't give us Biafra for the simple reason that they are scared of what an independent Igbo homeland might be capable of . The Yorubas and Hausas need Igbos in Nigeria like fish needs water.

iamrealdeji:
It's true,i've never been to any Igbo land,and I doubt If I know any Yoruba that has ever been there,except one of my father's former worker who once went to Igboland to by blankets to sell

95% of all Yorubas have never been to Igboland. If it were not for NYSC,that number would have been higher. conversely, most Igbos would have visited at least one Yoruba state before the age of 25.

I pray Nigeria breaks up. We Igbos have been long tired of the Yorubas and Hausas.

Buhari got elected on an anti-corruption platform. It will be interesting to see how he will fight corruption. I don't think a lot Nigerians realise that fighting corruption,particularly in a country like Nigeria where it entrenched, is a life and death issue. When you fight corruption,it fights back. A lot of people are where they are in life because of corruption and they are not prepared to back to porverty no matter what Buhari does. To fight corruption,Buhari will need to throw most of the APC and PDP leadership in jail and this is like fighting your own shadow. We wait to to see what Buhari does. Fighting corruption is not drinking fura de nunu.

Yoruba people can be funny sometimes. If an Igbo man like me says I want Biafra, the Yoruba man will be the first to come out up in arms that we must remain 'one Nigeria'. Then when we Igbos say "since we are one Nigera,Lagos is my land", the Yoruba man will say " you no know where your land dey for East?". They want one Nigeria but don't want to accept what it means. Wahala dey this Nigeria we are in.

Someone should tell the Oba of Lagos to start a campaign for the restoration of Biafra. If we Igbos get our Biafra and the Yorubas want to vote "Adolf Hittler" as Governor of Lagos,what is our business? One Nigeria is a big joke.

This is how they deceive some gullible Igbos and some SS people that we are "one Nigeria". There is no such thing as "one Nigeria" and we all know it. As an Igbo man, if I had Biafra, would I care about who the governor of Lagos is?

Iheanacho is the dark horse in this race. I hope Iheanacho and APGA carry the day but its any bodies guess who will win.

If Alex Otti doesn't win Abia next Saturday,Jega should resign on sunday.

MzJackBaueress:
God bless GMB for this. Even though most Igbos didn't vote for you,you still have them in mind.

As for Rochas,he is our new Igbo leader! He deserves it.

Rochas is our leader? I laugh in Swahili. Rochas is the most unpopular politician in the south east today. He maybe a member of the incoming party but outside his native Imo, he commands little or no respect. If Saturdays election is free and fair,Captain Iheanacho of APGA maybe the next Governor although we all know that PDP will try to rig.

APC doesn't stand a chance in the SE/SS. If the elections are free and fair,APGA will take Abia easily. In Imo, Captain Iheanacho of APGA has a good chance of winning over Ihedioha of PDP. Rochas is already a goner.

[b]They all voted along religious and ethnic choices.

One Nigeria is a very big joke. See how that small Niger Delta produces the wealth that feeds the nation and that same region consists of the hardest working region in Nigeria,The Igbos . Now i see why the other regions can't do without Niger Delta and the East. As dem big reach dem nor fit feed themselves .

Niger Delta and Biafra wake up, form a merger and demand your sovereignty. Those parasites up there will never let you go because you feed their lazy asses. If they had what you have they would have chased you away since time immemorial. Form a merger and sail away ooooooo . Can't wait to see Niger Delta become Dubai then we be issuing tourist visas to our neighbors.. (AREWA CALIPHATE and their stooge, AFENIFERE ).

We can even lobby a section of the middlebet for economic reasons as well and become a big federation on our own. Niger Delta/Biafra it's time to act oooo, those vampires up there will suffocate us. Chai, no wonder na the North shout One Nigeria pass, because they bring nothing to the table. (FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF DELTA BIAFRA )
[/b]

It will be the happiest moment of my life the day us Igbos and the south-south separate from Nigeria as a new country. As an Igbo man,I am tired of being classified as a "Nigerian" along with Yorubas and Hausas who are people I have no connection and nothing in common with. The notion of "one Nigeria" is a scam

Rochas is a funny man. This one person who doesn't undertand the politics of his people. The only time he ever won elections in Nigeria was when he joined an Igbo based party only to run to his Hausa/Yoruba friends in APC. Rochas is a drowning man. There is nothing wrong with being in the opposition from time to time,nobody wins them all. Rochas must be kicked out of Government house in 8 days!! We don't need Janjaw££dians in Igboland!! APC is not for the south-east!! Ask Ngige if you don't believe

nwadiuko1:
we fought this war a long time ago.....brother I knw what we lost

There is an Igbo adage that goes "defeat is not a good enough reason to run away from a fight". Any true son of ndigbo believes this. I wish we wont have to fight,but unfortunately,The Yorubas and Hausas would rather commit suicide than let the Igbo man go his way.

MzJackBaueress:
you're not from Imo state so keep sulking on your stupidity.

APC is for Imo state and Imo state is for APC.

Okorocha and the last semblance of APC will be leaving our dear Igboland in 8 days time and there is absolutely nothing that can save him.

dinachi:
The greatest irony of this election is that Jonathans base the south south gave Buhari almost four hundred thousand votes, while the south east that has no Igbo man in the ballot could not generate up to two hundred thousand votes for the peoples general.

Our people has a lot to learn politically.

You are mistaken when you say that the Igbos had no one on the ballot. There were at least 3 Igbos in the presidential race. UPP and NCP fielded Igbos as their presidential candidate, however, everyone knew these guys had no realistic chance of winning. Igbos voted Jonathan because out of all the people who contested, he was the one who best suited their interest. There was no way Igbos where going support APC or Buhari, not even in 4 years time when he seeks re-election. APC is a Nothern/Yoruba thing that has nothing to do with Igbos. If they think that Jonathan was a failure, well they have 4 years to show if they can do better. It should be noted that all Nigerian presidents since 1960 to date were all failures anyway.

nwadiuko1:
no more war

War is the price of freedom. Even Zik,Awolowo,Bode Thomas and all the founding fathers of Nigeria had to fight before they got independence from the British. In that same vain, the SE/SS might have to fight a war with Nigeria before they gain their freedom

pazienza:
But you have no problem with a senile illiterate, a coup plotter, a former tyrant and dictator, a blood thirsty being, a sore loser, a man who served Abacha and told the world that that Abacha didn't steal, a man who dethroned a democratically elected president, a man who hates freedom of press and speech, a sharia apologist being your president , Okwa ya?

Of course he is going to have no problem with such a man as long as that man keeps Nigeria together so they can keep sharing the Oil money of the Niger-Delta people.
