I am impressed that with the long write up, she did not insult the Oba. It's not about the individual but about the issue. I maintain the Oba bared it all...he spoke out of frustration and anger. this is what I expect that the Igbos should investigate...why the hatred? why the resentment from other ethnic tribe for the Igbos? The Igbos need to do a lot of self assessment. 4 Likes |

Waspy: I have realized that a lot of yorubas comment here out of ignorance. You make your comments without referring to the issue in discuss . You simply come up here and start your vituperation. Please I advice you all to go get a copy of the nigerian constitution and enlighten yourselves before you start this our long awaited war. I pray for Jimi to win and if that happens and you people didn't start this your war then you shall all die in the lagoon. 12 Likes 1 Share |

cole265: The only self assessment we need is on how to keep going higher. The haters can keep hating, its exactly their hate that has been fueling our success. Two Igbo states fought the rest of the country in a bitter three year war where our own very weapons were manufactured by ourselves. And few years after the war we have the most thriving and successful middle class, own and live in better part of lagos. While the north remains the poorest region and the yorubas can't stand our success. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Ymodulus: You people speak as if Igbos are forcefully stealing your land and political rights from you. Even when Igbos contest and loose in Lagos, do we go out en masse to cause trouble and kill? No. Why does everyone turn a blind eye to the troublesome Fulani but label Igbos as the devil in Nigeria? I can recall vividly how peaceful Jos and Plateau state was before some tribes lost elections in that town and started killing their host. What did Nigerians do or say about that? Nothing, why? Because they are born to rule and cannot be challenged by the Yorubas, Igbos and other tribes. In real sense and from history, the the true owners of Kaduna are the southern Kaduna tribes who are predominantly Christians, but they've been merged with people from Katsina and have had their numbers equal to or a bit smaller than the Northern Kaduna. Since 1999, they've only had one Southern Kaduna ruler who was made governor by the actions of the president in using Sambo as his VP. We talk of political appointments and stuffs like that not knowing what is happening at the other side. When I schooled in ABU, a Southern Kaduna/Christian Prof won an election for the post of VC but was never made the VC due to massive protest within and outside the walls of the school. Finally, a Hausa/Fulani/Muslim Prof was appointed the VC. But that is not the case in a Igbo land because I went to Metallurgical Training Institute at Onitsha and a Yoruba man is the Director. Mind you, that's just one establishment I went to. Imagine I was born and brought up in the South East, I would have seen various other tribes holding political/academic posts in my region without my people making a big deal out of it. The truth will always hurt but I will spill it out, if it was the Fulani tribe that had this large population of the Igbos in a Yoruba/Lagos land and have not produced a governor yet, there would have been serious bloodshed. Take it or leave it. 30 Likes 4 Shares |

BraniacX: My friend all this ranting will not help you unless you conduct a re assessment of your self b4 you can move on. Why are you people so hated every where you go? Why do people harbour anger and hatred towards the Igbos? Surely their must be a reason(s)... Guess you need to be thankful to the Oba to have let out his dislike to the public. This should be seen by your people as an opportunity to conduct the much needed and overdue self assessment. He is more of your friend. Guess you have to be more weary of the emir who has perfectly counselled his own resentment towards you. ...sure you know he is more deadly. 7 Likes |

Maybe if his own people had actually called him to order then the madness wouldn't have reached the market place This was last December 2014
