HopeAtHand:
The Igbos shouldn't have presented him.

I take it that they were just seeking attention.

Nigeria is very tribal, Igbos shouldnt rouse the sensibilities of other tribes unnecessarily.

pazienza:


You again.

HopeAtHand:


Yes.Me Again.

What Igbos will not take in Alaigbo, they shouldn't give in someone else's land...its called mutual respect..

Just accept the fact that Lagosians were fortunate to have their homeland developed for them massively by the FG and confine yourselves to buying and selling.

There's no need to flog this issue.

Which one is buying and selling again?
So Igbos only do buying and selling yet your people cannot stop crying to oil companies for job positions that are being occupied by well educated Igbos.
More than half of those employed by Hailliburton last year after the recruitment exercise were Igbos, your people who participated in the aptitude test but were beaten hands down had to stage a violent protest, Halliburton had to organise a ''special'' aptitude test for them alone just to absorb one or two.
You cannot compete with Igbos in any sphere of live so don't reduce them to buying and selling you hear?
Take heart.

Oga, proof your worth by developing your fatherland......not chest beating and being nothing more than a refugee in your own country. Shame no dey catch you people.

T9ksy:



Nevertheless, the fact still remains the same and that is, "Ibos' participation is Lagos/yorubas' politics is Dead On Arrival". Highly IMPOSSICANT!!!

Unfortunately for you tribal jingoists, there's sweet FxxxAll you can do about it, so you know what you can do with your usual chest-beatings, that you all are well known for- Go and develop your cursed land and turn your erosion-ravaged caves into the dubai of africa.

Ikwokrikwo:

You know the meaning of refugee at all?

Adegbodolu1:


Forget formal academic UN definition, I am talking simple reality. Igbo people have left and are still leaving their homeland in their millions to survive elsewhere in Nigeria. If that is not refuge seeking I wonder what is. Una take heart you are a refugee if you are outside your igbotic enclave.

pazienza:


If i have the power. I would demolish the Ist Niger bridge,and severe any links Ndiigbo have with Lagos. Force them to think home, invest in our sea port at Obuaku, upgrade Enugu Airport, and get the embassies to have their branches in Enugu.

Their obsession with Lagos is unhealthy and detrimental to Igboland.
Okpara sought to recreate a city to rival Lagos in the East,and even topple Lagos, if we(Ndiigbo) can't see the wisdom in that vision and fight to bring it to reality, then we are lost as a people.

A functional sea port, a real functional intl airport and embassies at Enugu, and a good network of roads to connect the Airport and port to the industries that are and would spring up in Aba, Onitsha,Nnewi,Owerri and Abakaliki is what Ndiigbo need, not a silly 2nd Niger bridge, that encourages Ndiigbo obsession with Lagos and helps Lagos maintain her monopoly to our(Ndiigbo) detriment.

Ikwokrikwo:

That means we have millions of Yoruba refugees in Nigeria.
We have the ones doing tailoring in Aba and Onitsha, we have some doing Mechanic and Car wash in PH, some working in Oil companies, some are barbers and traders in villages (not even cities) in Rivers, some are traders in the north, many are selling herbal medicine all over Nigeria.

Adegbodolu1:


Tell me where Yorubas are found in their millions outside their territory? How many Yorubas have you seen outside Yoruba land?

We are not refugees because our homeland has enough to sustain us.

HopeAtHand:


Well written.

When GEJ became president, i expected some massive infrastructural development by the FG in Port Harcourt as almost every form of development in PH was undertaken by RVSG..i hoped that he would also end the monopoly of Lagos Ports and transfer some federal agencies down to PH. We prayed that his emergence will create a megacity that will be the pride of SSoutherners and everyother Nigerian but 6years and nothing to show...I dnt eant to turn this to a GEJ review session but hes failed us so badly.

So bro, you just have to accept the realities that u need Lagos and you have to create an environment to prosper in it and one of such ways is being at peace with your host.

Ikwokrikwo:

Ikwokrikwo:

I don't care about Lagos politics.
If you had a brain, you would have noticed that my response was centered on the suggestion by that guy that Igbos are confined to buying and selling.
My post had nothing to do with Yorubas, learn to comment sensibly.

^^^The bolded is just what some jealous wicked peeps would work against.....the diseased vermin you're quoting being one of them!!

I laugh at anyone that thinks all you've stated in bold can be allowed in Alaigbo (especially the FUNCTIONAL seaport at Obuaku); for as long as 1) we remain in this country with these wicked 'fellow countrymen', and 2) the status-quo remains of an almighty and overbearing center dictating to the regions/states/ethnicities.....for as long as these two obstacles are in place, you can forget Ndigbo having a true economic emancipation from this cesspit of a country!

If we get any of the things you listed at all, it will be in the general scheme of things where each of the other five regions/zones will tag along and be included; the unwritten rule is you are not allowed to prosper too much to the point of leaving the others behind.....that's the whole point of the status-quo! A case in point is the new terminal at AIIA: see how they got a loan for building 4 others, but when Princess Stella wanted to include AIIA, Tambuwals house of reps refused; if not for her dogged determination, we wouldn't have got the one presently being built (which happens to be the cheapest of the lot as money had to be found in-house)! Do you know Ajaokuta steel company was recommended to be built at Onitsha?......Our Hausa/Fulani 'brothers' and their helpers down south over-ruled that suggestion and built it in present day Kogi, while they gave Onitsha a piffling MTI!

You can never have a situation where a singular billion dollar or high networth investment (like the dam GEJs gov't is presently building in the north, the refinery and petrochemical coys, a military industrial complex, etc) is sited solely in the South East (SE)! The only way they would allow the SE to get anything is if other regions/zones (or at least two in particular) are included.....we see this with the new airport terminals!

The fact of the matter is we cannot reach our full potential as a people while we're bogged-down in this cursed entity called Nigeria: let us go they say no; oya, restructure the country let everyone develop at their own pace...they still say no; and yet the hatred and bile they have for Igbos is unparalleled!

Ikwokrikwo:

I thought you said anybody found outside his homeland is a refugee?
Yorubas are found in their millions in Rivers state, you find them in PH, outskirt villages like Omagwa, the dreaded Aluu, Igwurita, Eneka, Etche etc. My work takes me to those places. There is a part of Aluu where you will find more Yorubas than indigenes.
Apart from the few working in oil companies there, the rest are taxi drivers, herb sellers, petty traders, barbers, mechanics, tailors, car washers, agberos etc.
I also learnt there are a good number of Yoruba ''refugees'' in Kano, though I haven't been there.
Your numbers are also rising in Onitsha and Enugu, so be careful of the things you say.
