Hausas travelled more?..... that is why they full Igbo land more than any other tribe grin grin undecided
Besides what do u mean I have claims I cant back up. I am sure u are an Igbo born in Lagos and never have even stepped your foot on Igbo soil. I am well travelled. I have lived in the SE and u can visit the region and confirm all that I said. Even Abia Igbos are discriminated against for employment in Imo. Look at these two states formed from a single state o. Let alone Ebonyi people, Ha, those ones are efulefus to Igbos. The truth is that you guys are the greatest tribalists and you know, if u could discriminate against your own brothers, how can strangers grow among you?

You are a fool and indeed an idiot the yoruba folks are the most tribalistic fellows they hardly step out of their mud house enclaves and are not industrious in nature, they are a bunch of lazy ass bitches drinking ogogoro and sepe.

Nobody will carry a civil service position in Enugu state to a fool living in a brown roof mud house in Iragbiji or to some folks in Osun state.

People get jobs by travelling, hustling applying, dey here dey whine yourself, you sound like a very big Idiot. Me explaining common sense to you is what is making me fume because of course you know this you just have to be stupid and play the fool because you don't have any reasonable arguments.

FYI there are many yorubas working in Enugu state civil service even EEDC and Co, Yorubas are the gods of tribalism even a dumbtard knows that so just own your shit. Foolish one Nigerians.

Ofo omo!
Stop spreading lies..

Some countries send their representatives to Nigeria to create seminars to entice Nigerian doctors, nurses, programmers e.t.c and offer them jobs..

You're wrong when you say " Nobody will carry a civil service position in Enugu state to a fool living in a brown roof mud house in Iragbiji or to some folks in Osun state "..

Agberocracy is not a type of government.

Every tribe lives everywhere but because of politics, you've become an idiot to tribalism.

Even if politics has caused many people to have their vision impaired and mindset politically disorganized, I'm willing to help you out for free. If you consider the Awori or Bini to be the indigenous community that once owned Eko, the land that is now Lagos State, or that they met the Yoruba people there when they came, then you should refer to them as Bini/Awori or both since they were the first settlers. It is of the utmost importance that we comprehend the past within its appropriate setting.

On the other hand, one may posit that the Yorubas are the rightful owners of Eko. No arguments. But why does it matter to politicians?

The government of Nigeria made the decision in December 1991 to relocate the nation's capital to Abuja, which is located in the middle of the country. Prior to that time, Lagos served as the nation's capital. Lagos was already established as the capital of Nigeria. What is more, it was referred to as Lagos, British Nigeria. Let's not pretend it wasn't very developed. It was even during colonial era because it was a good spot for colonial masters to perfect their exploitation.

And would you believe it? Many decades before Tinubu began his political career, members of the Igbo tribe and people from other tribes had already established a presence in Lagos. Even before and after the war!

Does this mean people from other tribes don't stay in the East?

Well, the last time I checked, there are significantly more Hausa and Yoruba people in Aba, for example, than there are the Igbo. If you doubt, visit the main markets in the East. In point of fact, there is a location there referred to as "Mosque" that is set aside specifically for them. There's another place called "Ala Hausa." And there is no interference with them as they go about their job. And not just these places, they live amongst indigenes. Do a survey: the Hausas in the East are allowed to go even to the deepest part in the villages... I mean, the cobblers. And they are never disturbed. In addition to this, they have been able to form friendships and even intermarry with the locals. If you also know the thousands of way-billed commodities leaving the east every day from people from other tribes who patronise what is sold in the East, you'll calm down like me. And I also know this happens also in every state!

You must be surprised!

In the markets too, there are innumerable Yorubas in big Igbo markets like the Ariaria, Ngwa Road Market, Main Markets among others. As they are Igbos in Yoruba lands and every other places in Nigeria. These Yorubas blend in easily and are never seen as immigrants.

In my house, there's a Yoruba man and a Hausa man here, and they are one of the lovely people I've seen. Remove tribal politics and you'll understand that the main people who should be hated are the politicians. Whether you call anyone Nyamiri, or Ndi Ofe Mmanu, or Aboki(mostly in derogatory sense) it is very stupid to think you are superior to others. No apologies.


In Togo, for instance, the Igbo population predominates in the country's two largest markets, Asiyeye and Asiganmi. This is one example of the Igbo migration. The situation is similar in Wurukum, which is located in Benue.

In Biu in Borno State, before the insurgency, their market woman liaise well with the Igbos and good women from other tribes.

In Alaba International Market, Lagos, it's the same thing. Is bringing business and revenues for the state a bad thing? Rather than concentrate on the business mind, you caption it that they come in “night buses“ and then “insult the owners.“ Why all these political hate for a tribe? What does night buses denote? Poverty? Even you and I know that the Igbo tribe isn't a poor one.


How and why?

I grew up with the Hausas and if I were to choose a more peaceful people, I'll choose them. I also stayed in Lagos and a typical Yoruba man really has no problems. Forget political business, the yorubas give you a free vibe and belonging. I did my whole nursery, primary and secondary school there so I can tell you for free that they are lovely people. I stayed in the East too. I think the major thing an Igbo man concentrates on is to feed his family. As in, everyone is concentrating to survive and survive others. Even as a stranger, you are carried along on happenings in the East. 😎 In Esan, Edo, it's just a struggle to not be poor. 💯 In Benue, the market at NASME junction, North Bank, is dominated by Igbos, yorubas and Hausas and they cooperate in one mind. If one doesn't have, he directs you to his neighbours from other tribes... that's beautiful. Apart from the Tiv and Idoma differences, they still live peacefully. Even in cultism-dominated areas in North Bank, you can still survive as much as you mind your business. 😮‍💨 In Kaduna, everyone lives their lives without prejudice. Na only government I see wey dey cause tribal and religious differences.😒 In Kogi, the lovely people I so admire, esp the Ebira people, like who get your time when everyone wants to survive? 🥱 How about the Akwa Ibomites? They are very comely to strangers, and they have very beautiful ladies.🙂 In Bayelsa, dem go wan use food kee you. I mean very fresh food. I love the Bayelsa people jare. 😘 I've stayed only in Abeokuta and Ibadan and I can tell you that intelligent people lives and are made there. Apart from that, young people are quick to make friends with you. No 🧢.

Then how come politicians make it as though we are enemies?

Do we genuinely despise one another? A laughable falsehood. In fact, I tell you today that we love one another but because of the political pride created by our leaders, we refuse to accept it. I can't let any politician recruit me to hate a tribe...I rather hate the recruiter.

There are Nigerians living in every country in the world! And in certain locations, they can point to communities to their name. Migration is ingrained in the human psyche and behavior!

In the UK, yeah, everyone knows about the racism there. We complain a lot about it. But the new normal in Africa is that we are also horrible racists. In our tribes, I mean our main tribes, we also exclude some clans as inferior or outcasts...maybe due to our numbers. Even if Nigeria is divided, you'll notice that each tribe will still create internal tribalism amongst themselves. That's how bad your leaders are.


Back to discussion, of all the tribes littered everywhere, why are the Igbos the only people you feel are immigrants to Lagos? Isn't it constituted that everyone can live anywhere? Are the Igbos the only tribe in Lagos?

You aren't politically learned then!

Is it because there's an Igbo man in the political race? Is this why the Igbo tribe are always in your mouths? Is Tinubu from Lagos himself? Tinubu is from Iragbiji in Osun state...and instead of hating people stealing from you, you hate people they program you to hate.

I've always maintained that whatever anybody does, blame the person not the place.



Politically-wise and otherwise, if you cannot reason out the bloodline of political sentiments by politicians using you as a pawn, you will remain a pawn to every political narrative.

Back to Lagos, like I always say, if the money that has been stolen in Lagos was stolen in America. Americans would be refugees in Nigeria. And this isn't just about Lagos, it's about our politicians. If the monies that have been stolen in all states in Nigeria were shared to all Nigerians equally, everyone would be a trillionaire...I mean, even if you have to reincarnate five times.

From what I see on Nairaland, ditch the presidential aspirants, na most Nigerians foolish abeg. The muscle una dey use dey fight unaselves is a thing of fancy. You dey support who know even know if you are among the living or dead and want to kill over it. You are a fool. Yes, you.

The three main contestants are all failures yet some are killing themselves over them. Some are dead already and more will still die. Same politicians who'd still meet and eat together after the elections. They call it politics and not physical war; but na your skull dey roll.


We preach loving one's neighbour on every religious day but never practice it. It seems our Bibles and Qurans are only for Sunday mornings and Fridays...while our evil remains intact. No apologies.

It's very right for me to conclude and say common sense is not very common in the common man.


Idiocy per excellence.

I read this piece from the beginning to the end.

God bless.🙏

You are just trying to be clever by half by saying oil companies in the southern part of Nigeria are employing lots of westerners because they are more educated than the southerners then when the e.g first Finance minister post independence was from the south.
I hope in the next 50 years the westerners will not come and tell us that they were the one that would either be president or vice since 1999 because they were the most qualified?

When asked to speak on the policy, he stated it clearly that Federal Allocations were low and Anambra State money was solely for Anambra State indegenes

Ironically the same man that said Anambra State allocation were low, deposited over 75 billion naira in Access/Diamond Fidelity bank making 20% intrest for the banks he had share

Lagos is strategic to the Yoruba region not southern Nigeria..

There have been non-yorubas who have governed Lagos.

Before the B:ritish invaded the Yoruba region Lagos was the commercial center and farm of the Oyo Empire.

Lagos has always built itself with ethnocentric principles.

Oil companies in the south employing Y:orubas may be owned by Yoruba people or have more Yoruba shareholders than other tribes or the multinationals have worked with Yoruba people more than others so they prefer to employ Yo:rubas.

How can I interact with this guy? I want to engage with him in a logical reasoning based on this argument of his.

I have told Yorubas who reason this way to do everytjing possible for Nigeria to breakup. Once u support the break up of Nigeria, those people u refer to will become immigrants and u can now decide to deny them VISA.
Unfortunately, these same yorubas who reason like this will insult Igbos who demand for Nigeria to separate.

U cant have Nigeria the way it is currently structured and expect people not to migrate to Lagos. Currently, if u want to do anything with the outside world from Nigeria, a lot must be done from Lagos. From shipping to HQ of companies which means higher percentage of Nigerian tax would be generated in Lagos. I don't like to argue with low lives who have no sense.

I would encourage Yorubas to team up with Igbos to break up Nigeria and Yorubas can go their way and Igbos go their way. This way, any Igbo who migrate to south west is purely immgrant and u can choose to deny them VISA.
But such scenario will take them further away from that sweet Niger delta oil while the Igbos remain ever close to it lol. Greedy people always want to eat their cake and still have it.

Nigeria is a b:ritish creation. Within Nigeria there are at least 200 ethnic territories or ethnic nations..

so yes a person can be called an immigrant if the person is outside their ethnic nation.

If other tribes withdraw their resources from Lagos, Lagos will be a shadow of itself in just a month. And it will happen.

There will be diversification of resources, bringing quantum development to other parts of the country very soon, when PeterObi emerges the President.

Respect people that feed you. You are nothing but just a commercial space.

Whenever u are faced with superior argument with facts and figures, u usually can not withstand it but resort to insult. I never abused u in my post but your first statement was to insult me. Nobody said Igbos should not live in Lagos, in fact Lagos need them. You have only labelled a whole tribe wrongly, and I tried to expose ur level of intelligence. From my analysis, I still ask you, which tribe is now tribalistic? The ones that allow u come in droves to their land, marry their own children, have education, get employment, grow your businesses, buy, build and own properties, hold both elective positions and political appointments? Or the tribe that enact laws to limit your growth in their place?
I have only heard about Igbos trying to claim ownership and take over Lagos State or become minister of FCT Abuja but never heard of any Yoruba man or Hausa man trying to be anything in Igbo land. And when your hosts are now trying to put u in ur boundary, u will curse them to heavens.
Stop creating unnessesary enmity between u and your good hosts. They will never do same in your own land, shikena. Nobody is after u, stop running more than your shadow.

Let's not pretend it wasn't very developed. It was even during colonial era because it was a good spot for colonial masters to perfect their exploitation.

And would you believe it? Many decades before Tinubu began his political career, members of the Igbo tribe and people from other tribes had already established a presence in Lagos. Even before and after the war!

Does this mean people from other tribes don't stay in the East?

Well, the last time I checked, there are significantly more Hausa and Yoruba people in Aba, for example, than there are the Igbo. If you doubt, visit the main markets in the East. In point of fact, there is a location there referred to as "Mosque" that is set aside specifically for them. There's another place called "Ala Hausa." And there is no interference with them as they go about their job. And not just these places, they live amongst indigenes. Do a survey: the Hausas in the East are allowed to go even to the deepest part in the villages... I mean, the cobblers. And they are never disturbed. In addition to this, they have been able to form friendships and even intermarry with the locals. If you also know the thousands of way-billed commodities leaving the east every day from people from other tribes who patronise what is sold in the East, you'll calm down like me. And I also know this happens also in every state!

You must be surprised!

In the markets too, there are innumerable Yorubas in big Igbo markets like the Ariaria, Ngwa Road Market, Main Markets among others. As they are Igbos in Yoruba lands and every other places in Nigeria. These Yorubas blend in easily and are never seen as immigrants.

In my house, there's a Yoruba man and a Hausa man here, and they are one of the lovely people I've seen. Remove tribal politics and you'll understand that the main people who should be hated are the politicians. Whether you call anyone Nyamiri, or Ndi Ofe Mmanu, or Aboki(mostly in derogatory sense) it is very stupid to think you are superior to others. No apologies.


In Togo, for instance, the Igbo population predominates in the country's two largest markets, Asiyeye and Asiganmi. This is one example of the Igbo migration. The situation is similar in Wurukum, which is located in Benue.

In Biu in Borno State, before the insurgency, their market woman liaise well with the Igbos and good women from other tribes.

In Alaba International Market, Lagos, it's the same thing. Is bringing business and revenues for the state a bad thing? Rather than concentrate on the business mind, you caption it that they come in “night buses“ and then “insult the owners.“ Why all these political hate for a tribe? What does night buses denote? Poverty? Even you and I know that the Igbo tribe isn't a poor one.


How and why?

I grew up with the Hausas and if I were to choose a more peaceful people, I'll choose them. I also stayed in Lagos and a typical Yoruba man really has no problems. Forget political business, the yorubas give you a free vibe and belonging. I did my whole nursery, primary and secondary school there so I can tell you for free that they are lovely people. I stayed in the East too. I think the major thing an Igbo man concentrates on is to feed his family. As in, everyone is concentrating to survive and survive others. Even as a stranger, you are carried along on happenings in the East. 😎 In Esan, Edo, it's just a struggle to not be poor. 💯 In Benue, the market at NASME junction, North Bank, is dominated by Igbos, yorubas and Hausas and they cooperate in one mind. If one doesn't have, he directs you to his neighbours from other tribes... that's beautiful. Apart from the Tiv and Idoma differences, they still live peacefully. Even in cultism-dominated areas in North Bank, you can still survive as much as you mind your business. 😮‍💨 In Kaduna, everyone lives their lives without prejudice. Na only government I see wey dey cause tribal and religious differences.😒 In Kogi, the lovely people I so admire, esp the Ebira people, like who get your time when everyone wants to survive? 🥱 How about the Akwa Ibomites? They are very comely to strangers, and they have very beautiful ladies.🙂 In Bayelsa, dem go wan use food kee you. I mean very fresh food. I love the Bayelsa people jare. 😘 I've stayed only in Abeokuta and Ibadan and I can tell you that intelligent people lives and are made there. Apart from that, young people are quick to make friends with you. No 🧢.

Then how come politicians make it as though we are enemies?

Do we genuinely despise one another? A laughable falsehood. In fact, I tell you today that we love one another but because of the political pride created by our leaders, we refuse to accept it. I can't let any politician recruit me to hate a tribe...I rather hate the recruiter.

There are Nigerians living in every country in the world! And in certain locations, they can point to communities to their name. Migration is ingrained in the human psyche and behavior!

In the UK, yeah, everyone knows about the racism there. We complain a lot about it. But the new normal in Africa is that we are also horrible racists. In our tribes, I mean our main tribes, we also exclude some clans as inferior or outcasts...maybe due to our numbers. Even if Nigeria is divided, you'll notice that each tribe will still create internal tribalism amongst themselves. That's how bad your leaders are.


Back to discussion, of all the tribes littered everywhere, why are the Igbos the only people you feel are immigrants to Lagos? Isn't it constituted that everyone can live anywhere? Are the Igbos the only tribe in Lagos?

You aren't politically learned then!

Is it because there's an Igbo man in the political race? Is this why the Igbo tribe are always in your mouths? Is Tinubu from Lagos himself? Tinubu is from Iragbiji in Osun state...and instead of hating people stealing from you, you hate people they program you to hate.

I've always maintained that whatever anybody does, blame the person not the place.



Politically-wise and otherwise, if you cannot reason out the bloodline of political sentiments by politicians using you as a pawn, you will remain a pawn to every political narrative.

Back to Lagos, like I always say, if the money that has been stolen in Lagos was stolen in America. Americans would be refugees in Nigeria. And this isn't just about Lagos, it's about our politicians. If the monies that have been stolen in all states in Nigeria were shared to all Nigerians equally, everyone would be a trillionaire...I mean, even if you have to reincarnate five times.

From what I see on Nairaland, ditch the presidential aspirants, na most Nigerians foolish abeg. The muscle una dey use dey fight unaselves is a thing of fancy. You dey support who know even know if you are among the living or dead and want to kill over it. You are a fool. Yes, you.

The three main contestants are all failures yet some are killing themselves over them. Some are dead already and more will still die. Same politicians who'd still meet and eat together after the elections. They call it politics and not physical war; but na your skull dey roll.


We preach loving one's neighbour on every religious day but never practice it. It seems our Bibles and Qurans are only for Sunday mornings and Fridays...while our evil remains intact. No apologies.

It's very right for me to conclude and say common sense is not very common in the common man.


Idiocy per excellence.

Peter Obi sacked Non Anambra Indegene from Anambra State Civil Service , retrenching workers from Imo, Enugu and Ebonyi

When asked to speak on the policy, he stated it clearly that Federal Allocations were low and Anambra State money was solely for Anambra State indegenes

Ironically the same man that said Anambra State allocation were low, deposited over 75 billion naira in Access/Diamond Fidelity bank making 20% intrest for the banks he had share

Jagaban
Right now go to Alausa Secetariat, Igbo men and women who got recruited under Bola Ahmed Tinubu are now Senior Level Officers, Directors and Permanent Secretary.... Not a single Yoruba man works with Anambra Civil Service



By this time next week ….,
