When will you show this might in Kano or Bornu?

Go to the major markets in those places and tell me who is in charge?
However, those guys at least are not too lazy but are trying to compete.

So calling people's land no man's land is right? You all are indirectly disrespecting the Oba for calling his land no man' land. In the video, he said what you cant try in Onitsha and co but you doing it here. During Anambra election, your people call us amala and awolowo people cos of Ngige. Is Ngige a Yoruba man? We all know what happened during that Anambra election and how even El Rufai was locked in his hotel room.

We are not slaves nor coward and our land is NOT and will NEVER be no man's land. Respect is reciprocal.


^^^ Man i didnt get ur line of argument. Have u or ur tribe been threatened to elimination in onitsha, aba, enugu and owerri for choosing ur preferred candidate through balloting?

Again taunting is neva a tin to be taken seriously cos in the right scheme of things they dont hold water. Come to Rivers state and see how ur own brothers are taunting natives of PH as jobless people who can't survive without leaning on house rent especially hausa people. They are good in taunting. Who has threatened their elimination even as massively, they voted for Buhari? If u can't call ur oba to order based on serfage, others will.

Truth is nobody is in support of what the man said..

But at the same time they should stop calling Lagos a no man's land..haba

They have mixed up so much with the locals that have forgotten their heritage.The only way to charge down a yoruba threat into an harmless bluff is to face it with the threat of not only defiance but real force,kowtowing to them as he did will emboldened them to persecute or even kill igbos 'just put them in their place'.The fool's grovellin has just put igbo lives in danger...

The same way we are not shouting in Ilorin or Ekiti or Benin City that those places are no man's land. Lagos is particular. Let those that own lagos show face because yorubas are immigrants to lagos like us. Proximity does not make you a landowner.

Let me ask u, do u know the real reason why xenophobia started in south africa? Its bcus the south africans(the lazy ones) who live in the townships and wait for government grants were being outshined by d foreigners in their land. So they resorted to violence. Lagos was made the capital, igbos came to lagos with nothing and they worked hard to get to where they are today. The zulus have durban, the xhosas have port elizabeth, the vendas have polokwane, the afrikaans have cape town but u'll never hear a south african saying johannesburg belongs to one particular tribe. Lagos is situated in the south west but the yorubas cannot lay claim to lagos bcus its situated there. Tomorrow now hausa people go come say abuja na their own. Ibadan is for d yorubas, lagos is for nigerians, simple. Just like how the south africans started xenophobia, the yorubas have started with threats of violence bcus they can now see that d igbos are beginning to get into lagos politics.pls eurobomber stop embarassing the igbos. I hate violence but pls lagos or abuja and the next capital of nigeria will always b for nigerians and not to a tribe.

They tried that before and licked their wounds so hard.

Do you know that in the height of boko attacks, Igbos were still trading in maiduguri? Stop underestimating your people. Inspite of the attempted genocide of 1967-1970, the cream is still rising to the top.

A wise man chooses his fights carefully, go figure.
Yes that is why we chose this fight as per our experience with Hausas,you don't look for a black goat in the night.Tis about time we catch this goat in day as Oba's threats echoed the minds of thousands of yoruba who will be keen to act on it. Ironically you just placed your unborn children in danger with your grovelling...

You should be reasonable and allow sleeping dogs lie. The gentle walk of a leopard is not a sign of weakness. What are you trying to achieve by pushing/provoking the Yoruba? What exactly? You want them to rise up in violent attacks against innocent Igbo women & children just to prove to you that they are not cowards?

You are the one calling people to rise and take up arms against a people that you have lived with all these years without violent confrontations. You need to have a rethink. Sometimes it is good to bend down for peace to reign; it must not always be chest-beating and braggadocio. embarassed

.With all due respect, i disagree with most of the things you said here,
I will try to answer some of your questions, but before I do, let me remind you that Lagos was a state capital and was developed with Nigerians money, so it belongs to all of us, Lagos will not be what it is today if not for all our efforts. Nigeria should develop Enugu as much as they developed Abuja and Lagos and let's see if we would not move back home, give us an international airport and a standard seaport
*Kano is not called a no mans land because it was not once a state capital,
Let me ask you,
*how would you feel if someone wakes up tomorrow and start telling you that Abuja belongs to his father or grand father ?
oboi abj na my state weda they develop it or not it's still my state and it's a man's land. it's because of our peaceful status thats why it's the countrys capital. When it wasn't the countrys capital we weren't complaining we we busy with our yam bussiness. So don't even tink of calling it a no mans land

the thing is u can't lay claim to a city(former capital of a nation) bcus its situated in ur region. Yorubas now feel threatened bcus d igbos now seem interested in lagos politics unlike before and that oba knows that its just a matter of when before the igbos take over lagos politics too. No one owns abuja, abuja is for all nigerians, lagos is for all nigerians, kano is for the hausas, ibadan is for the yorubas,enugu is for the igbos but if tomorrow now they make a city in the east capital of nigeria then it automatically belongs to all nigerians. They call igbos fools, they say our IQ is very low, they say we love violence but they didn't c this coming, who's threatening violence now? Igbos wan save lagos from d hausas bcus d way yorubas dey lick hausa people nyash dem fit carry lagos give hausas one day.
