We NDIIGBO will only vote APC wen they present an Igbo Deputy Gov. Otherwise, our vote goes to the National Party PDP.

I am from Lagos. I find it very insulting when an Igbo sojourner in my land tells me I don't have a place to sit because We have entertained his people.

Reminisce, back in 1960's, the Igbo thrived in the North. Then, they began to over-ride the land-owners.
Well, we all know the rest of the story. They were massacred like chicken.
50 years later, they haven't learnt the lesson.

You shake a leper. Next, he says he want a hug.

How is such a person in a position to demand that he or any like him be trusted with power in a multicultural society where it is terribly important for leaders to have a sense of equity to all who live within the State regardless of their ethnic origin? Look at his past post to see the duplicity most Yorubas have now seen through and are not predisposed to indulging. The day it dawns on some Igbos that charity begins at home is the day they begin making real progress earning the trust of other Nigerians. Look at the nauseating and bigoted rants of the chap below only to now be playing "marginalised" innocent victim on this thread. Therein lies the problems of Igbos caused by ignorant, disrespectfully vile and ethnocentric Igbos like this waternogeteneny character.

The fellow you quoted is the typical Igbo e-warrior you find on Nairaland. I assure you that not all Igbos reason that way, but the majority on this forum do.

They have no respect whatsoever for any other tribe in Nigeria, yet they wonder why they are not loved by all.
Infact the Igbo belief is that other tribes owe them support over all issues. So you see them gloating over Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello, Gowon, and Saro Wiwa threads.

What they have not done is to tell us what they have done to merit their demands of our support, that would justify their claims of betrayal.

I am yet to see a migrant tribe that so passionately despises the natives as they do. This attitude is replicated all over Nigeria and other African states.

rosebowl01:


If at all possible, I think you people should take a step back, reflect on how you relate with other people, review your utterances and its implications, then consider adjusting what you wrote up there. You must admit that Ibos are relatively rude, when relating/compared to other groups. That is what elicit the negative reaction or ill treatment you all get in response. You don't always have to fight or insult other people's sensibility to take your RIGHTFUL place in the society.
Thanks,

Sentimental fool. Can you put aside the 'support my kinsman by all means' bigotry for a minute and see what needs to be seen? Do you think I have time for the Yoruba bigots waternogeteneny engages here? Big no !!! Yet my point remains that "those who come to equity must come with clean hands". You cannot be shouting "Marginalisation" without acknowledging your own behaviour which makes you hard to trust with power. When Yoruba bigots insult Igbos here 24/7 then be my guest to remind them that their behaviour may have made it difficult for Igbos to trust them with power when a Yoruba is seeking political office in Anambra or Abia State.

You need to stop looking at everything childishly. I am a Lagosian and a proud Yoruba. I will comment if some wish to play the usual marginalisation card deceitfully and dishonestly. You are not mature or objective enough to learn from waht others are saying. Look at the part I quoted below from one of my previous posts on this thread to note why it is incumbent on the Igbos, as those seeking the support of others, to demonstrate that charity begins at home. You a big fool and an egocentric tw1t if the point I am making is not clear. Carry on with the vainglorious and pugnacious attitude to everything related to engaging other Nigerians. I don't know the manner of idiocy that prevents you from understanding the simple concept of how it is those who want something from others who have the greater onus of making concilliatory effort to get what they want. Mumu.

Nothing would benefit Igbos more, because of their nomadic nature, than a dedication to respecting others and making an effort to get on with them instead of remaining obsessed with viewing others disdainfully, fighting them over civil war 'hangover' vendetta and proclaiming fictitious superiority over them day in day out.

Ibos are Oguns meat and Ogun will certainly quench his thirst with their blood

If Azikiwe had managed to become Western Premier, the gloating Igbo would have feted us to tales of how an Igbo man was required to help the Yorubas develop their region.

They would have revised history, telling us falsely that no Yoruba man was educated enough to lead, and had to beg an Igbo man to help them out.


For this singular political sagacity, Awolowo became a god, enshrined in the hearts of his people.
He chased the lost one further away and our Igbo politician suddenly remembered the way to his village despite being born in the North.

Awolowo went on to lead the region in all fronts, being a vangaurd of innovative ideas and infrastructure that the rest of Africa had to follow.

Now who is opening a conversation with abuse? People like u provoke reaction and then turn around to base a senseless arguement on that reaction.



So, far ur reaction is predictable becos most yorubas have developed a sense of entitlement with regards to Lagos Governorship or Politics. This is very much so, to the detriment of the multi-ethnic and linguistic character of Lagos as a state.


What igbos are requesting is not unreasonable since they make a sizeable contribution to the state budget via heavy taxation and have been resident in the state from conception as the capital of Nigeria.


They own a sizeable chunk of the land mass that they bought and have even built upon. They are only asking to participate in the governance of their state. If Obama can be President of America, i dont see the big deal here.

Yeeboes are comedian, they own 80percent of Lagos, they own Abuja and Kano. They are angels, and there land is like Dubai. They cant ask this from Aboki's in Kano, cos those one will use them for Suya. Lwkmd

The igbos including me should go and take several seats biko. Leave the yoruba pple to their land. Let's go back to our moribund East and develop it. We like developing other people's home and leave ours messy and in an economically sorry state. We allow greed to rule us and our excessive love for materialism has blinded our eyes to true meaning of development. We Ndi-igbos don't care for ourselves, all we think of is me, myself and I. Until we start to look back into our house, stop the greed, wake up to self-less community development in our land, we will continue to sweep other pple's home while ours is in a sorry state. I have more to say but I'll rest my case here.

lalasticlala:
Ndigbo Cultural Society of Nigeria, NCSN a socio-cultural platform for the propagation of the interests of Ibos has sent an open letter to Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, lamenting what it called the marginalisation of Ndigbo in the politics of Lagos state and threatening to shift political support.

The group claimed the complete exclusion of Igbo people in the politics, judicial and other vital sectors of governance in Lagos State despite the sizeable contribution of Ibos to the economic life of the state.

The group in the letter signed by its president, Chief Udo Udeogaranya said Ndigbos are completely excluded from the politics of Lagos State saying that for the exception of one councillor, Ndigbo were completely lacking in the politics of the state.

“Correct us if we are wrong, but about 16 years of stewardship, since the inception of this Fourth Republic, your political organisation, All Progressives Congress (APC) owes Ndigbo Community of Lagos State an obligation to explain to us what is it in the CHANGE that your party continues to clamour, when we have seen nothing except change of name of AD to ACN and now to APC or do we vote for another party,” the group noted.

“Ndigbo have campaigned and voted massively for your party in the previous elections except for Presidential elections, but what is our political fortunes, after these years of solid support?”

“Lagos State remains a homeland of Nigeria Multi-Ethnic group, the resource of the State is not found in the rich Oil and Gas or any other natural resource, but rather on the people of Lagos State and proceeds of their labour, on which Ndigbo accounts for a very large percentage.”

“Despite this, Ndigbo are not permitted by your party, All Progressives Congress (APC) to have a political say, by making sure that in the 376 ward seats, 20 LGA seats, 37 LCDA seats, 40 State House seats, 24 Federal House seats, 3 Senatorial Seats, 1 Deputy and 1 Governorship seats, Ndigbo are completely excluded including areas of the State that are predominated by the Igbo residents, except 1 Counilorship seat in Ajegunle.”
“Is your party, APC suggesting that that those who contribute their resource should not have a say on how it should be managed?

“Markets in Lagos State that can be called Ndigbo markets, for instance the Ladipo Auto Parts market as a test case, have been shut down severally and at will, even with pleadings from South-East State Governors were not enough for your APC led government of Lagos State to understand the need to allow these markets function without unnecessary government intrusions. Is there a change to the policy or is it still business as usual?”

“Appointments in Lagos State have never reflected on the constitutional stipulation of carrying all the people of the state along, even at local council levels, particularly in the appointment of judges in the state. Are Yorubas better qualified than other Nigerians in Lagos State?”

“Lagos State Government continues to fund Eyo Festival but leaves the Igbo day Festival or New Yam festival to South-East governors to fund. Should Ndigbo then pay their dues to South-East Sates governments?”

“Lagos State House of Assembly continues to conduct the house business on Yoruba language, translating that Lagos State is now a mono lingual State, is this as a negligence of facts on ground or that Ndigbo offspring in Lagos State should forgo their cultural background or give up their political rights?”

“Various sons and daughters of Ndigbo in Lagos State have complained bitterly over the ridiculous process in practice it is for an Igbo to obtain necessary government approvals without having to go through Yoruba facilitators. Is this to underscore that one race have become superior to another?”

“Areas in the State densely populated by Ndigbo like Coker, Ajao Estate etc.. have not smelt any completed infrastructural development projects of the Lagos State government, or are there?”


“On the deportation of the 72, you have apologized and apology accepted and therefore case closed. We wait patiently for your answers or we shall look for another come February 2015.”

The group however, overlooked the fact that the spokesman of the APC in Lagos State, Mr. Joe Igbokwe and the state commissioner for economic planning are both Ibos.

According to the constitution, the state holds and administers rights over land use for "All NIGERIANS".

As long as I keep paying the required fees as stipulated by the state government for the stipulated time frame, I own the land. It is mine until the day that I cannot lay claim of it.

Moreover, the C OF O is applicable to every NIGERIAN irrespective of ethnicity and religion. In essence, even Yorubas are subject to the same law. The land is not owned by the Yorubas as purported by many here, but by the government. A government is not an ethnic or religious institution. In this case, there is no special privilege accorded to the Yorubas.

Finally, the state cannot just wake up one day and start seizing lands bought legitimately because they feel worried about a certain ethnic group. They will be sued and Justice will prevail.

You just can't help but laugh at the naivety of this simpleton.

As for your post, you cannot make a "reasonable" request with blackmail and without understanding and abiding with the principle of "live and let live". You need to respect other Nigerians always and fundamentally accept their contributory importance and worth instead of vaingloriously and disrespectfully dismissing all other ethnic groups while falsely proclaiming yourself to be what you are not.

You say Yorubas have a "sense of entitlement". What sense of entitlement? The one many Yorubas were forced to developed after Igbos began claiming they "own Lagos" and that they "control the economy of Lagos" with the wild and delusional claim that "Lagos will collapse if we pull our investments out"? Show me one ethnic group or race that will not develop a "sense of entitlement" after hosting another ethnic group or race for decades hospitably and tolerantly only to be told they are "lazy slaves" dominated by others. My friend, look at the antics of your kinsmen first before accusing the Yorubas, ordinarily secure in themselves and tolerantly hospitable, of having a sense of entitlement. If you do not operate with humility ever than you will get cooperation never.

Like I said, you have the right to think of it the way you want. I am proudly NIGERIAN and IGBO. I believe that soon, Lagos State will lead the way in ensuring true integration in Nigeria. A non-Yoruba, may or may not be IGBO, will lead Lagos soon.
