and you call that an attack?

you might think it's mild but it's still hurtful because the guy is actually on the side of fairness and truth.

He wasn't making a claim to owning yorubaland so what was it about knowing his boundaries?

Truth be told, we can't do without tribalism, ethnicity and religion its practically impossible. All we need do is try to live in peace no matter the differences, we can't all be satisfied.

Eurobomber, I think you have your work cut out for you. Education should make us leave these rubbish behind but it appears the more information some get access to, the more hateful they become and it affects folks from both sides.

I'm happy i've been permanently blocked from the hatred. where do i start from? my beautiful wife or my 1 in a million mother-in-law? or my sister's husband? In fact maybe i don turn Igbo finish sef cheesy

I wish you the best bro

Thank you my brother. Are you Yoruba? Honestly I don't understand what people want to achieve with all these hatred. There are so many Igbo-Yoruba weddings being planned as I right, just move round on Saturday and see for yourself. Even amongst my friends, a lot of Igbo-Yoruba marriages and then some people are here writing rubbish.

I wish you the best too.

Asaba is predominantly Igbo. We have Igbos in Warri and in all other cities. Are you saying I can't differentiate between an Igbo man and an Itsekiri, Urhobo or Ijaw?

Yes i am. married to an Igbo lady while my younger sister is married to an Igbo pastor.

Where will i start the hatred from? Of course i might tend towards Yoruba sometimes due to 'kindred' spirit grin But i shudder at the thought of violence......how do i manage my interwoven family connections?

My young friend, Amaka from Onitsha just got married to A yoruba guy and like you said, more and more are being planned even as we type.

God bless you plenty bro.

hehehe... So appreciate the fact that we give you more.. And not take what you have and lynch you over frivolous things like Hausa or south African are doing .. Get it? cool

Even with the nonsense the Hausas are doing our people are still many there. We can hardly be intimidated, if you want to start attacking us in the west, you can bring it on, we will suck it in. And don't deceive yourself thinking that only Igbos are killed when the Hausas run wild, even Yorubas and MB Christians are also killed. I have travelled a lot and lived in parts of the North before. When they start their riots, even the Yoruba muslims flee to come and take refuge in their Sabon Garis where Southerners normally live.

I personally know Yorubas peeps that have been killed by the Hausa, the only reason we take the highest casualties is because our people are spread all over Nigeria more than any other tribe. wink

The fact that you guys think that there is any difference between you is what makes me laugh.

Clinging to languages for which there is no alphabet, attached to impractical habits and imported religions makes you all the most foolish people on the planet.

As much as I like Nigeria as a place I find the eagerness with which the people divide themselves very peculiar. To an outsider there is minimal difference between any of you - you yourselves have elected to self-divide for no discernible reason.

Someone needs to explain to you guys the difference between a language and a dialect. I'm sick of hearing how there are 500 different languages in Nigeria because two villages 2 km apart might pronounce the word for 'goat' differently.

If you people are serious about making progress you will find that you have no choice but to shed your many retrograde practices. The alternative is that you cling to your petty 'differences' and remain an exploited peoples.

She has said nothing but placate her husband's people. Did the she goat ask about how all those Lagos developments came about. The finance and the manpower?

If it is yorubaland, let them develop it with their own resources. Why come down to South East and beg for oil?

Which part of SE has oil? Abia - the one that was stolen from Rivers.

After SS states, Ondo is the next highest producer with major reserves off the coast of Lagos and Ogun. Deal with that.

I have said it several times that it makes no sense calling Lagos a no-man's-land. It is very disrespectful and provocative. What we need is mutual respect to live together. My people should stop all these silly talk of taking over Lagos, that they feed the Yoruba, that others are lazy, all these rubbish don't make any sense.



[size=18pt]That said, I don't see any need for this unnecessary aggression towards the Yoruba.[/size] As far as I know, they are a nice group of people and very wise too. Tribalism cuts across all tribes so let us all not single out a particular tribe.)

Some Igbo people are now blaming Igbo people for starting "aggression"?
I thought the aggression started when the Oba of Lagos provoked the igbo with his utterances.

I love Igbo people but you my friend is one Igbo man I won't want to meet, I can see the word "coward" written on your forehead.

you try by marrying a yoruba. nwoke agwugo na ala igbo. my teacher always told us not to associate or trust the yorubas. she gave us an e.g, she said as yorubas cap bend to any side you face it that's how there life is. she warn us that if yoruba man ask you to stay, run and he ask you to run, stay. that why if we call you (okpu yoruba) that's yoruba cap, in our school. People will start seeing you as a saboteur.

You are REALLY a Tribalism Person. If you can read between the line, her write up sits on a fence. She meant well of us all and I commend her for that.

As a Yoruba Man, I detest that Oba's statement. But that doesn't mean the Igbo should take us for granted.


If we can have such Lagos Cabinet, Ministry & Govt Agencies combination in other states across Nigeria, by now "State Of Origin" disclosure would not be required on our cv anymore. Competence would play out and progress would be fostered.


Lots of Igbo are working in Lagos State Internal Revenue Services (LIRS). Or you don't know that the Chief Economic Planner in Lagos is an Igbo.

Probably. It appears bragging and chest-beating are a way of life amongst Igbo's.

I was watching an Igbo movie the other day. Uche Ogbodo insulting a guy who was chyking her. Burú carton gi'a puo m nuzo (referring to the guys Honda hala) damn hilarious. Out of the 10 sentences she made 9 were laced with insults. Igbo to Igbo its cool (Ima njakiri) But to other tribes its offensive.

The other day it was Igbo's protesting in an Indian suburb. Same thing in South Africa. I think its time our Eastern brothers did a soul search. There must be something fundamentally wrong.

This is not to paint the whole tribe with the same brush though. There are well meaning people amongst them


So u have run out of real life examples u r now referring 2 Nollywood....hilarious indeed
So all Nigerians in S.A r now igbos...anything that goes wrong these days blame it on d igbos,it's their fault we can't marry, it's their fault we can't get our wives pregnant....keep bringing it on,we just dey look una undecided undecided

of course there would still be ibos.. Everyone knows ibos like money more than their life, but the question is, will guys still have the mouth to start shouting no man's land if we reduce your population by just 50 percent in lagos?

Although I know, you are not amongst those that shout lagos is no man's land but your words encourage them.

Just thank your head that we are not savages.

Idi.of

Groundnut, cocoa have been developing Lagos before we shifted to oil. All states in Nigeria were alao developed with oil, why makes Lagos situation different.

Also the last time I checked revenue generated from Lagos alone is sufficient to sustain Lagos, they do not need your oil money. You also cannot refer to your businesses in Lagos because if only you knew how insubstantial it is, you would sit tight, act like a true Nigerian and respect other people's ancestral land.
