I wonder why this matter was blowned out of proportn to this level. The oba had apologised; saying he never meant to pass such msg @ all and what again did anybody wants him to do?...besides., he must be respected and the host community deserves some respect pls.... Lastly, we all should understand that lagos is yoruba land; nt a no man's land. The only thing you did wrong is ending your long standing friendship simply because you guys didnt handle things well...--e.g, why trading words on timeline(public show of shame)?...why not simply chat with him privately and make him see reason/s why he shouldnt tow that line @ all. If nothing, been a child of God call for restrain. I still believe you guys can mend fences...'maybe you are his frnd for such a reason as that'.. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Please can you stop your recent comments on my Facebook write up. You can do that on your own facebook page please. I really don't like your comments. Thank you. Above was his response after I told him little bit about Nigeria history which got him upset and this is a person that has been attacking the fingers that fed him. Below was my response to him I have nothing to do with your Timeline as long as you leave Yoruba issue out of your timeline. I think I have every right to defend my Nation anywhere either on social platform or offline. I have got no issue with you; I am only addressing your wrong posts like every other fora. However, if you are comfortable with my response, you could ask Facebook to block me off your timeline and that would prevent me from reading and responding to write ups. Thanks and God bless. 6 Likes |

You shouldn't expect any less from them op They can't help it Feed an Igbo man for 20 years, give chance or plan a dispute between you both and watch how they react. You'd be surprised and wonder if that was the animal you've been living with. I've had countless experiences right from my primary school days. Although some who have integrated into our society have evolved. But if in a crate of 24 eggs 21 have been tested bad wouldn't it be a waste of time to test the remaining 3? 7 Likes |

Honestly this drama during this election period has realy opened my eyes as an Igbo person to things I have overlooked b4 and I have taken some critical deciscion. One is that I will reduce my exposure to Lagos completely to zero both investments, businesswise etc. I was in the east for like a week and I was realy impressed, eg Awka is wearing new look, with highbrow area springing up and enough land to develop. These are all we leave to go and dwell in lands where we are not appreciated. The time has come for we Igbos to forget all these running away from our place, let us go home and develop our place. This should be our agenda, if we do so in the next 10 to 20 years we will be glad we did. As for me I have made up my mind. 18 Likes 6 Shares |

handsomenairala: OP, as an Igbo man, I will tell you this, you did nothing wrong for letting him off your life, that is if it's the truth. Facebook is a sensitive place and shouldn't be utilized for degrading and tribalistic statements. As a Nairalander, although I hardly do engage with people on here, I still mind my utterances. In all my posts here, I only corrected some people after which I showed them reason not to tag the Igbos what they feel when Fulani people are going about a killing spree but nobody uttered a word, and in some cases joked about Akiolu's statement. Finally, the actions of one man cannot be used to judge the mindset of everyone. Many people who commented before me on this thread have shown how biased they are by generalizing that all Igbos are tribalistic just because of the actions of your friend and I say, how are they different from your friend and how is your friend different from Oba Akiolu? We Nigerians are all hypocritically biased set of myopic and sentimental beings and we're only different by language, culture, location, etc. No tribe is better than the other in regards to ills. Just take it that way. Peace. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

djon78: It's quite sad that things are turning out like this bro. I felt bad when I read your post but your fellow brothers and sisters are not helping this whole thing. I swear down, Yorubas wouldn't mind if you become a governor tomorrow but the way your people disrespect their hosts is really annoying to say the least. If Igbos could get rid of this habit, they ll be smiling to their Bank every week with proceeds from all their businesses in the West and the North. However, having read world history and read extensively about how Sudan and India were splited into two countries; I realise that Igbos are making the biggest mistake of their lives by investing in the West and the North. Look around you and tell me if there is one Nigeria spirit in anybody, I presumed that your would beNo. I advised some young Igbo youths here couple of weeks ago about how to keep their businesses in the East for the sake of their future and in case separation and 5 Likes |

On the first day I reported to work, I was assigned to a Yoruba guy to put me through nd he told me three things: I like women, drinking and I hate Igbo people especially Anambra people. This is a guy who went to Madonna university in okija and equally served (nysc) in Anambra. Is it right for me to hate the whole yoruba pple cos of him? Hate is an individual thing. 12 Likes |

handsomenairala: Where is the disrespect if I may ask? I used to see Yoruba people as our hosts but some people on NL made me understand that there is nothing like hosting here. This is Nigeria and anybody should be free to lead anywhere and at any level. I asked before and I will ask again: After the civil war, has the Igbos ever risen up as a unit to fight the Yoruba people in either the Lagos state or in the SE? Has there ever been a time a truck load of Yoruba corpses were brought from SE to the SW for burial? Has the Igbos ever forcefully taken your lands and started building without paying for the land and land use charge? Has the Igbos ever disrupted a Yoruba gathering, meeting or party? Has the Igbos ever destroyed your buildings and mount pressure on the Yoruba people? We have to get somethings right here.. If Igbos could get rid of this habit, they ll be smiling to their Bank every week with proceeds from all their businesses in the West and the North. Now let me ask you here again: Haven't you heard of cases where dead bodies were brought in from the north to SW for burial due to one religious/election crises or another? Haven't you heard of cases where Fulani people use their cattle to destroy farms in the Yoruba lands and when the farmers complain, they get killed? Can you recall what happened in Jos? How the Hausa/Fulani contested for a post, lost it in 2011 and started killing the indegenes of Jos? Have the Igbos ever done this? No. I can imaging what would have become of Lagos if the Hausa/Fulani had this same population Igbos have here in Lagos and has not yet produced a governor. You of all people know that nobody is safe in the north except if your Hausa or Fulani Muslim. So no point talking about smiling to the bank in the north. Your peeps who have travelled to the north, if truthful, will give you a low down of how they are treated in the face of slight provocation. And I ask, how have you people reacted to all these? Why are the less troublesome and less violent tribe now tagged the devils? However, having read world history and read extensively about how Sudan and India were splited into two countries; I realise that Igbos are making the biggest mistake of their lives by investing in the West and the North. You are not far from the truth here, the entity called Nigeria is actually sitting on a time bomb and might go off soon. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

djon78: My brother dont mind our people. I ve been telling them to have some of their investments in the east but some of dem no dey hear word. For me i cant be so blinded to the tribal sentiments in Nigeria which i seriously hate. Its a shame that this nonsense is happening in a country that is highly religious. Even the yorubas that are trying to claiim whatever are not better. It is a Nigerian disease and no tribe is free. Every sunday majority of us troop to church and pray in tongues. We come home and use the same tongue to slice our brothers. We read the bible yet fail to imbibe the love that Jesus taught us to have towards one another. Christianity in Nigeria is becoming a sham and a shame. Too bad. Pastors are busy preaching prosperity message and how we can give the lord one million naira and get ten million naira. The core message of Christ which is Love, salvation and the kingdom of God is relegated to the background. Only few preach it. Are pastors not seeing what is going on? What have they done to curb the situation? They are busy preaching the messages that will bring money into their bank account and cars into their garage. Its so pathetic. 3 Likes |

Many of us here are also guilty of the same offence. Why can't we treat issues as they are without making some kinda annoying sweeping statement? You are no different from the man if you make any generalisation about igbos or yorubas, To me, I drive no joy in doing that, in short it will be a great disservice to myself since I have many yoruba friends and none of them has done anything bad to me. Yes, I get some cold treatment from some yorubas but I also get same treatment from some igbo folks, so, it's not a tribal thing but human nature. Please quit this nonsense because none of us chose to be born in our present locations. Thank you! 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Thanks to our leaders...they are doing a good job sowing the seed of hatred in us and we are sure learning. A yoruba girl,won't call her my friend because I don't know her,she sent a request and I accepted.....she blocked me because of what I post on my timeline. Funny enough,I don't bash any but praise my tribe and it got her upset. The funny part is when she noticed I didn't even know she blocked me,she sent me a mail to tell me and also tell me why...her reason, I am too proud being IGBO as if we are God....hmmmm see me see wahala.

Reminds me of Ojukwu's friendship with Aluko, Awo and the Yoruba man he entrusted with leading the Biafran army match to Lagos, can't seem to remember his name now. Well, in all these friendships, Ojukwu ended up with the short ends of the stick. Aluko was leaking Ojukwu secrets to his Northern masters, Awo was calling for starvation of Igbo women and children, the other Yoruba guy, sabotaged the Biafran match to Lagos. Your friend is a lucky man, getting rid of you will be the best decision he had ever made in his life. He will live a fulfilled man. To all Igbos, have Yoruba acquaintances, have no Yoruba friends, they can never be trusted, live in peace with all men. 4 Likes |

[b]The only Bigots I see in this whole matter are the Yorubas! Your Oba threatened, swearing to his Allah that he would throw the Igbos into the lagoon if they should vote for Agbaja and instead of unequivocally condemning him, you are condemning the Igbos for blowing it out of proportion! Is there a proportion for the threat of genocide by a ruler with millions of followers who would be ready to do his biddings? I've never heard any Yoruba person (Beside some political statements) condemn this great threat unequivocally! Instead, you Yorubas are all united against the Igbos on this singular account of your Oba's rascally statement, nothing more. Your are united against the threatened Igbos for crying out loud, on the account that they are crying too loud or 'blowing the whole thing out of proportion'! What a shame! Even your educated elites are infested with this bigotry. Observing from the side, not being neither Yoruba nor Igbo, I fear for the nest generation. Being particularly a minority from the centre of Nigeria, I feel helpless and I fear for my progenies in this country of madman. I weep. What a shame![/b] 8 Likes |
