EUROBOMBER: What, if I may ask is wrong wit what he has said? Ijeoma in my opinion is very deep and knowledgeable, an invaluable jewel which Mr. Omotade has found. Unfortunately, I didn't read Chimamanda's manuscripts but I can deduce from Ijeoma's submissions that Chimamanda was probably not as objective as might have been required of a public figure like she is. What morale does she have then to chide the Oba if she too could not resist the temptation to be sentimental? I am Yoruba but I totally disagree wit d Oba on this one. That just goes to buttress the saying that there's no perfection in humanity. I know the Oba personally, He is an amiable person. We should not overflog the issue. I believe in the spirit of oneness, it is best if we let sleeping dogs lie. I don't see us splitting anytime soon, I always laugh at the idea. Long live Ibos! Long live Hausas! Long live Yorubas! Long live Nigeria! [quote author=EUROBOMBER post=32737877] Very wrong What, if I may ask is wrong wit what he has said?

jahjehova:Really? I'm surprised. Is it that you're blind to the derogatory tribalistic remarks this yorubas have been spewing and are still doing or that you deliberately judge from a one sided angle? Which is it? How much offense has my 'derogatory' remark caused that it should surpass that of theirs? 1 Like |

EUROBOMBER: The second paragraph does not make sense to me cos being accommodative is literally telling you that others are welcome to my land without giving u any problem. The almighty US and UK use that word at all time when it comes to immigration topic. We accommodate visitors in our country.............. |

Ijeoma Ozichi This so called Ijeoma Ozichi, your response to Chimanmadu's write-up on the Oba of Lagos herein is trash as to the reality of the comment of the Oba. What about the Housas who are more wicked than other tribe here in Nigeria. Go back and check the attitude of the Northerners to Southerners in the Nigerian history and see who has done the worse thing to other tribes. What the Oba of Lagos did is wrong.You cannot tell a fellow man to go and perish in Lagoon because you have someone's interest because of politics. Oshomole told a widow to go and die but he had to retract his statement and also apologized to the lady.Why must the Oba refuse to apologize after he goofed? We should accept our mistakes if we go wrong.We are all equal in the site of God. 2 Likes |

DukeNija: Lagos isn't a no man's land!!!! If u talk of the percentage, then I can tell u that about 60percent are lagosian. It's simply lagos has accepted so much from other tribes, if not an Emeka will not be representing in d house of assembly in lagos. Blatant rubbish!!!! These are the things we dare not try in the East. |

From the two write ups it is quite obvious to see the difference in intellectual capacity between Ijeoma Ozichi Omotade and Chimamanda Adichie. Whilst Chimamanda Adichie has raised a very serious issue for us to consider, Ijeoma Ozichi Omotade has reduced that same issue to local area people in the back street calling each other names. What Ijeoma Ozichi Omotade ought to learn and understand is that the Oba is a leader in a leadership position...he is not an ordinary person on the street. When he speaks he speaks on behalf of the people he represents. As such he must be cautious and owes a duty of care to speak in a tone that is aligned with his position. To make comments that could likely incite ethnic clashes is not what the people of any group expect from their leader. It is also surprising that Ijeoma Ozichi Omotade who claims to be igbo married to a yoruba has failed to see the tension that was caused by the Obas comments. Was it not clear therefore that if his comments have created such tension then an ethnic group has been offended...a bit like Buharis famous "Baboon and Dog" speech that led to riots and death in the North. It is time we in Nigeria rose above the street level and started holding all our leaders accountable for their actions instead of simply making trivial statements about what a local area boy or girl said yesterday 4 Likes 1 Share |

I have seen a lot of bullshit spewing from the mouth of so many people here. It still doesn't change the core of the piece, which is TRIBALISM RESIDES IN IGBO, YORUBA AND HAUSA. Period. I was Yoruba by parenthood, I was born and brought up in Imo state, I attended University in the North, did my NYSC among the TIV, above all I AM A NIGERIAN. WE are all innately tribalistic........ You either take it or leave it. |

safarigirl: Thank you for your post. Some people have no sense of perspective. A foolish old man got carried away and said something that he should not have. We should all dismiss him as insane instead of attacking each other. No one has died as a result, there were no attempted drownings to speak of. This is in stark contrast to Jos where people are being killed for the most petty of reasons. If people are looking for something to cry about maybe Jos should be their focus. |
