I am igbo and I am not Happy with what the oba said.

That being said. I want to look at this from another angle.

I live in ABA, which is a natively owned by the Ngwa people. ABA can be considered as a no man's land because more than 80% of it's citizens are foreigners.

Now in ABA, even as densely populated by foreigners as it is, no foreigner holds any political post concerning ABA. mind you the foreigners we are talking about here are still igbos.

let's take this to Lagos. Lagos is the biggest Yoruba nation. this has never being in doubt. igbos migrated to Lagos because of their favourable business environment and I bet you, Lagos has being good to my brothers.

Lagosian are good host, that I can attest to.

As I being a non ngwa man would not contest for a political position in ABA, as s mark of respect to my host, I wouldn't still expect any igboman to contest for political position in Lagos. just as an Hausa man would never be allowed to take office in Enugu.

As guests, I think the igbos should be as apolitical as possible. You done come to a man's house, kidnap his wife and rape her in his presence!

I think the oba was provoked and is doing what any very grounded traditional ruler in the east Would have done If he is to be in his shoes.

Bros, You wrote rubbish!!!

What would obi of onitsha do If Hausa men take up 4 HOR seats in anambra state?

The Oba has really bleeped up....we Yorubas are not this Rude to other tribes..the oba was caught in the mood and He deserve all the insults he has been getting...


Vote whoever you want, its ur right..
Nufin can ever seperate this country even the monarchs..

For the educated who r less tribalistic, Am sure the comment made by the less-enlightened OBA would be seen...as an EPIC!! SLEEP OF TONGUE

Bros like you rightly said you are an igbo man and I be full blooded Yoruba dude...
There are no 2 ways about this, truth be told..NO matter one's tribe or position one has no right to threaten others or tribe not even at this sensitive period when evErything counts..
Now most igbos are now using his unguarded statement as propanganda of starting a tribal war...
It is a disgrace...and am sure my yoruba brothers who are civilised wud understand my stand and criticise this...

It is not acceptable Simple!!

To set the record straight I AM NOT A SUPPORTER OF ANY PARTY just voicing out my mind.

Come to what?

Is Jimi agbaje an Igbo man? Is he not only asking for the support of igbos (and other ethnic groups) living in Lagos?

Has Ambode not done the same thing Jimi did?

Where is the provocation coming from?

How did Igbos provoke anybody by saying they will support a yoruba man to become governor of Lagos?

What about the yoruba people who support Jimi? Are they going to be thrown in the lagoon too?

You are a sensible person

Let everyone shut the Bleep up and stop castigating the Oba unnecessarily, the igbos can go and die if they ain't happy with his comment. In as much as everyone have condenmed the statements of the Oba what else do you want? The Oba is speaking to his subjects, that is the head of Igbo communities in lagos. If u ain't comfortable with it go and vote whoever you feel like and forget whatever statements he made. Igbos have made more inciting statements in the past and no one took it seriously, why the double standards now? This is Lagos, this is the yoruba land and stop playing the victim all the time. We wont give you that chance to usurp our land.pls let all of this die already.

shachris:

Lol. You aren't treating the issue. No igbo is talking about taking up political post as a governor of lagos, but exercising their voting rights to elect a YORUBA candidate of their choice. What is wrong with you Nna?

nwanne m all this problem would have not arised If the igbos had remained as apolitical as possible in Lagos. The political igbos (PDP) is making the oba feel threatened. We are just in Lagos for business and not domination. make ur money. and come back home as our brothers in diaspora are doing. leave Lagos politics for Lagos.

But we already took up 4. before you know it we would be clocking 10. political domination doesn't start in one day.

Truth be told, you are only voting jk not per his achievement as a person, But only to spite your host....as you see pdp as an igbo party.

I pity this generation....some of you can't even live in the days of artaxerxes and other ancient kings....fallen tribes are even talking. O' foolish human race, when will thou be wise?

stop misinforming people..igbo took two..the remaining are one Yoruba and one urhobo
..and what is this talk about pdp being an Igbo party?when that one start?look nwannee you need to stop all these trying to see any bad in anything an Igbo person does abeg

Though the obas statement is uncalled for how come the ibos always have problems with their host communities?

First, I am Igbo, I prefer Ambode.
Secondly, you don't threaten people to get their votes in a democratic and federal system.It's very crude, for a traditional ruler to cause unhealthy rivalry in a multi cultural community, whether he is the host or not! As for the dominating nature of the igbos, I don't care. They should bear it. Once upon a time, they were against the creation of BIAFRA(whatever that means) and fought against it with knives and guns. If they now feel dominated by the same people they forced into being nigerian, their headache!

You are a bloody liar. Martin Ezeh, from Igbo Ukwu in Anambra state was a former LGA chairman in ABA. He is now the traditional ruler of Igbo Ukwu in Anambra State.

Well said OP

the obas might not have the best choice of words...it's not everyone that knows How to speak in anger...still his intentions were human.

So do you want to start another as as a retaliation?

shachris:

it is only two igbos...have you also considered that there are second and third generation igbos living there that do not know their village and speak only Yoruba?...the thing is the local govt those non yorubas won were also probably voted by yorubas living there

Please if your host is trying to trample on your constitutional rights, he should not be respected but castigated.He is just a figure head. He is still under the laws of the LG, a tier of the federal constitution.He should be very careful!
