Emmahunk: don't you still get the point? So because he is popular you then put what is said on your head? When several Igbo masses threaten yorubas in igbo land and nothing is said about it; simply because they are not popular. It's in the Nigeria blood.. TRIBALISM... igbos hausas, yourubas are guilty. Let's stop the hypocrisy of accusing just the oba and forgetting what our own house does 1 Like |

Who is this woman with such a great mind? She has said everything. You see, the Igbo's have turned their fear into a refuge from which they see any situation as an attack on them. The only people that call Igbo people "second class citizens" in this country are the Igbo themselves. They should forget about "taking over" Lagos; it is an invitation to unspeakable bloodshed. A word is enough for the wise. 1 Like |

That's the reason you guys till date don't have one mytholgy of your ancestors abi? Some claim Owerre while the others say it is Nri. Recently some have said you guys ares from Israel. Strange. BTW, have you told nairalanders the raging battles over land in your different clans and hamlets? I guess you might not know as you are probably one among thosed who have relocated from Igboland for greener pastures. basilo101: |

I like your article, letter or whatever want to call it, calling lagos a no man's land is indeed disrespectful. But you need to understand that Lagos was once the federal capital of Nigeria. So please dont compare it with Aba and Onitcha as they are not in the same historical perspective. |

Imagine an efulefu advising the real Igbos Why don't you go and advice the useless oba first since your married to them. Idiotic efulefu Lagos is a no man's land. I spent 20m buying a property in Lagos, paying my taxes regularly which 75% of yoruba in Lagos can't afford yet you want to see me as a foreigner but sees broke ass yorubas as the owner?.

Igbo's and their hatred heart plus superiority Some one who didn't know much will be asking himself some questions " 1- WHY ARE IGBOS ALWAYS IN QUARREL WITH HAUSAS AND YORUBAS?", "2- WHY IS IT THAT HAUSAS AND YORUBAS ARE LIVING MORE CLOSELY IN TERMS OF PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE?" My answers to question one are, it will not be a surprise to anyone who knows a little about the histories of the igbos. among the nigerian major tribes they are the only tribe that doesn't have a definite social structure and laws before the advent of the colonials. they are living just as what the scientists referred to as SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. and they constantly believe that someone somewhere is working to harm them through charms, even when nobody cares about them. etc. All this factors helps to accumulate hatred in the hearts of the igbos. hatred has a special production section in their hearts which must be kept at a lower level constantly, through the process of unleashing it on a supposed enemy (i.e THE HAUSAS). Do not ever think that, the problem of hatred from the igbos will be over when this country is divided, NO!. Igbos will turn against themselves, when there is no supposed enemy (the hausas), that the igbos can reduce the venom of their hate on. One of the igbos living in the north testify to this fact, he says "In case this nation get dissected I will never go back home but rather remain in the north, even if it means i have to pray like the muslims do, because my people will not allow me to continue my business smoothly in the south, they will try to harm, kill or even kidnap me for ransom" In this 21st century, igbos are the only nigerian tribe that have an ethnic party (APGA), on the platform of this party in igboland, a candidate will be massively elected into office only if he excels his rivals in the aspect of hating other tribes during his campaign tours. They also have an ethnic radio station RADIO BIAFRA, on which hate messages are constantly spread 24/7. Igbos are the ones that caused the nigerian civil war, and later on, crying to be the victims of that war. Igbos are the ones who rig massively against the president-elect General Buhari, and also close their chances of holding a significant position in the new government to come, but i hope they won't cry later, saying "WE ARE MARGINALISED BY THIS GOVERNMENT" My answer to question two, Igbos mainly hate the hausas, the only point that brought the yorubas into the fold of igbos hatred, its by their alignment and friendship with the hausas. hausas and yorubas are more closer because an average hausa man didn't take himself superior to any other tribe. but on the contrary, Igbos thinks they are superior to any other nigerian tribe, they even call themselves GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE (NIGERIAN JEWS). So the igbos want the yorubas to be subservient to their wills and wishes, despite the fact that the yorubas are more educated than the igbos. and the yorubas refuses to be so, from then they started calling the yorubas COWARDS. They forgot the bible tells us in Mark 12:31 "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” We also read in mathew 5:20 "For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Further a bit in Matthew chapter 7, verse12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." My humble igbo friends dont see this as an attack on the igbos, but rather look at it as a fact which deserves to be brought to surface 1 Like |

I am yet to see the conducive environment for a yoruba man to make such 20m property in Igboland and not get his hand burnt. It's a challenge - point me one. Gimme me an address of a successful yoruba man in the main market at Faulks road, or Owerri "relief" market. What about the one in Enugu (I have forgotten the name), just gimme me 5 examples and I will give you 5million igbos that have succeded in other lands. Be truthful to yourself, Can I as a "non-igbo" come out in Onitsha and say it is no mans land?? swedbase: |

Btw, i didn't see what's tribalistic about Chimamandas article, her article was so apt, rational and objective. Much as this lost soul ijeoma girl tried to sound objective and balance the article, she failed to address a pertinent question. She kept foaming in the mouth talking about reference to Lagos as 'no mans land' bla ..bla..but she conveniently forgot to also address why an igbo man, (Nigerian) living in Nigeria will be referred to by a fellow Nigerian as an 'immigrant' or 'foreigner'. How convenient of her? And then again why did she chose to refer to Chimamandas article only, what about the senseless letter from the so called 'Yoruba's outside Nigeria' who continuously referee to Igbos in Lagos as 'refugees'? why did she not address that too.? She conveniently skipped the yoruba letter with all its vitriolic and tirade to tackle Chimamnada who presented a more logical and objective view and reaction to the oba of lagoons unreasonable comment on igbos in lagos. Ijeoma or whatever, thanks but no thanks. Nice try thou! but we ain't buying your 'peace-making' sermon. Keep kissing arsee to placate the people from your place of marriage but we are not fooled and cant be. Respect is reciprocal! if Yoruba think they can insult us all in the name of 'you are in our land', and expect us to keep quiet, WRONG! we will insult back in equal measure. 3 Likes |

Ngokafor: Well I'm not here to mix words or trade insult, we're talking about an intellectual here making a third person account and you're impressed? Nobody is asking you to cheer Awolowo, there are other accounts of the pogroms written by military igbos, do you even know there was massacre in asaba too?, did you read about the bodies floating on river niger? What actually started it? Nobody is pointing fingers here, and do call that standing up for her tribe? And for your info many Yoruba indigines has and will continue to condemn what the oba said. |
