Tiv man comes to Lagos:he does his business/minds his business/ a make his millions.

Igala man comes to Lagos:he does his business/minds his business/ a make his millions.

All these people find a way to respect the culture and people of Lagos (the Yorubas) without much incident.

But..............................

Igbo man comes to Lagos: as soon as he makes some small change from selling fake drugs/spare parts and he begins to say "Lagos is no man's land," deliberately inciting the people of Lagos

So tell me which among these various tribe is sensible, wise and deserving of respect?

Disciple of hate and propaganda, save us your mischievous sermon of pernicious lies and perfidy.
When will Yorubas cease dragging other tribes along with their wicked propaganda to stand a chance to withstand Igbos Why have the Yorubas shamelessly formed the habit of ass-licking their Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri slave masters, spreading lies of how peace-loving and accommodative they have been
Yet Christian minorities in the North and in the Middle-belt continue to be persecuted and relegated to the background.
What do the Yoruba tribe really stand for

Loud mouthed tribalist, remember how your Field Marshall, MKO Abiola, was whisked away like a common thief by your slave master and he was slaughtered like a salah ram before you bloody cowards. Yorubas were hiding in Soka Evil Forest.
The same Slave master have been hunting Yorubas for sport in Kwara State for decades. And they even consider Yoruba Muslims as inferior beings.

The machine Guns shake houses wen fired, even the army don't have such guns but youths still confronted them.

Go to Riyom in plateau state, go to Rigasa in kaduna, go to wadel in kano state, u will know that we are not one Nigeria.

For many decades now Fulani herdsmen have continued to exhibit despicable attitudes and heartlessness with reckless abandon, trespassing on indigenous peasants' farmlands, destroying their crops, killing the people and chasing them far away from their ancestral lands.

Hahahha man you are ignorant. So you are saying people can make any type of comment insofar the comment does not warrant to peoples death right? For your information people do actually lose their jobs and in some cases subjected to criminal trial after making inciting or racial comments like the one the infamous Oba made. Long serving skysports analysts richard keys and Andy Gray lost their jobs as a result of racial comment they made about a female lines woman. John Terry was stripped of the England captaincy and fined heavily after making racial comment about Antoine Ferdinand. He was even charged for criminal prosecution. If you so much believe in this freedom of speech, how about you going on air threatening to kill the president. If you are not picked then I will agree with you that truly freedom of expression do confer on us the right to say anything we want.

Another ignoramus pretending to know it all. Why do Nigerians like you love mixing apples with oranges? Why must you come up with bogus analogies to justify your position? You mentioned John Terry, Andy Gray and son but what you failed to realize is that these people were working and as part of their job descriptions they are not allowed to say or do certain things. The Oba is under no such restriction and neither is the average person. You mentioned threats against the president, are you seriously comparing negative statements made about a race to actually threatening the President of a nation? Are you really that naive? In your attempt to prove your intelligence, you've actually displayed your naivety. Like I said earlier when we remove sentiments from our reasoning, we would all be better off. Show me the place in the Nigerian Constitution which criminalizes the Oba's actions and I'll be a believer, till then kindly keep shut!

The Oba must be fully investigated, disgraced, stripped of any royal splendor, dragged to the mud and made example of by Ndiigbo, for the rest of Nigeria to know that hate speeches against Ndiigbo by political and traditional Nigerian leaders will no longer be tolerated by Igbos of this generation.

The 1966 massacre of Ndiigbo all over the country was built on the back of years of Igbo hate speeches propagated by Nigerian leaders like the Saraduna and his infamous anti Igbo speech, Akintola and his Igbophobic Yoruba Ronu speech, the Oba of Bini Igbophobic article, and so on.

Those speeches were left unchallenged by Ndiigbo, and the effect was nationwide acceptance of Igbophobia, which Nzeogwu coup only gave them an excuse to execute.

Never again, will Igbophobic utterances be left unattended. Oba or no Oba, any culprit must be dragged to the mud and disgraced, to deter future occurrence.

Part of the ICC’s latest letter to Mr. Onoh reads: “Under article 53 of the Rome statute, the prosecutor must consider whether there is a reasonable basis to believe that crimes within the jurisdiction of the court have been committed, the gravity of the crimes, whether national systems are investigating and prosecuting the relevant crimes, and the interests of justice.”

But first, read through this piece and gain some knowledge of how your Yoruba tribesmen participated and executed the January 1966 coup. It's time you stopped advertising and marketing your stup1dity online and further denigrating your 'suffercated' Yoruba race.

N.B: The essence of this information is mainly to expose the lies of the notorious history distortionists and wicked propagandists who insult and malign others continually with lies and falsehood, and shout and make much noise on every available media. This a tribe that is after all well known for being loose cannons. Uncouth, uncivilised and disrespectful set of people who made a career out of abuse and slurs.
The same treacheerous beings who precipitated the January 1966 coup and the 1967-70 civil war with their bloody 'Operation Wetie ' in the SW. They start trouble and heat up the polity only to run cowardly to hide in their evil Soka forest when the jungle matures.

"Operation Wetie" in Yoruba means wet a human being and his/her properties with petrol and set them ablaze.

REMI FANI KAYODE, AKINTOLA, AWOLOWO, WESTERN REGION AND THE CRISIS THAT TRUNCATED THE FIRST REPUBLIC

These captains of the “tribalism industry” have good incentives to always omit the causes of the January 1966 coup preferring instead to dwell only on the coup itself. The reason  is simple;  It was  in their own  Western region  then known as the “wild wild west”  that  election rigging, thuggery, violence, arson, mass murders and other  forms of corruption and acts of lawlessness that occasioned the January 1966 coup  took place as pioneering acts in Nigeria.

Soon after Nigeria got independence the Western region was in turmoil. Premier Ladoke Akintola and Chief Obafemi  Awolowo became embroiled in a protracted crisis. By 1962 the crisis led to sustained violence and acts of lawlessness with law makers engaged in vicious physical combats in the Western regional parliament. Amongst serious injuries and other damages, the mace of office was broken.  The federal government intervened to curb the lawlessness and violence by imposing a state of emergency and appointing Dr Moses Majekodunmi as interim premier of the Western region on the 29th of June 1962. This became the first imposition of a state of emergency in Nigeria’s history due to heightened levels of lawlessness. Following an alliance between Akintola and Ahmadu Bello, Ladoke Akintola was returned to power on the 31st of December 1962 in spite of protests by Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe who requested fresh elections rather than reinstating Ladoke Akintola.

By 1963, the plot between Akintola, Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello was perfected and Chief Obafemi Awolowo was arrested for coup plotting/ treason. His trial commenced in earnest and he was alongside some accomplices convicted for treason and jailed for 10 years. This again was the first alleged coup plotting and conviction in Nigerian history. Intent on totally decimating Chief Awolowo, Ladoke Akintola together with vice premier Remi Fani Kayode went into a political alliance with Prime minister Tafawa Balewa and new political party known as the Nigerian National Alliance (NNA) was formed.  By this time Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe had realised the folly of entering a coalition with Tafawa Balewa’s government   and teamed up with incarcerated Chief Awolowo’s Action group to form the all progressive grand alliance (UPGA).  

In 1964, federal elections became due. As usual ethnic chauvinism, intimidation and violence was part of the frenzied campaigning. Remi Kayode and Akintola’s campaign was as usual almost entirely based on tribalism. When the elections were finally held, it was massively rigged in the Western region. Indeed deputy premier Remi Fani Kayode had famously boasted that “there is nothing they can do, whether they vote us or not, we will win.” This statement turned out to be true as massive rigging was orchestrated in the elections.  Once again this became the first pioneering act of election rigging by indigenous actors in Nigeria’s history. The announcement of the rigged election results quickly sparked off unprecedented acts of thuggery, violence, arson, mass murders and general acts of lawlessness in the Western region.

Daily mass murders and arson became routine in the Western region (wetie). This violence and lawlessness in the Western region was to continue from 1964 until 1966 when the military lost patience and finally struck.

The Western region was thus a region in crisis from the onset of post-colonial rule. By the time of the military coup, Chief Obafemi Awolowo himself was incarcerated for treason and the region was practically on an uncontrollable violence and trajectory of self destruction for almost two years from 1964 to 1966. At the same time that the Western region was aflame the Eastern region was calm and democratic. Unlike the Western region there were no cases of election rigging, thuggery or other such acts of lawlessness in the East. In the North there was sporadic violence in the TIV division which was put down by the military.

Of all the regions, the western region was torn the most by crisis and acts of lawlessness which eventually occasioned the coup. If the leadership of the Western region had played by the rules and avoided the infighting, the election rigging, the thuggery, the  planning of a coup in 1963, the  arson, the mass murders and other  such corrupt acts and vices  many of which were being  introduced for the first time  in Nigeria  and which incidentally continues to haunt the nation to date, there would have been no coup and Nigeria would no doubt have immensely benefited from  a  functional democracy  devoid of election rigging, thuggery and violence as it obtains  in many progressive nations around the world.

The leadership of the Western region in conspiracy with Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello are singularly responsible for the events and crisis that truncated the first republic and ruined the nation.

Those who carried out the coup choose to act out of genuine anger and frustration at the carnage in the Western region.  Whatever the demerits of the coup, It is obvious the coupists had nothing to gain other than the patriotic urge to end the corruption and lawlessness that had taken hold of the nation particularly the Western region.

Yorubas created the crisis that occasioned the coup and whose region the coup saved from self destruction are  some of the biggest ungrateful noisemakers  who peddle  the propaganda  of  colouring  an anti corruption revolutionary coup with patriotic ideals  very similar to that of  Flt Lt  Jerry Rawlings  in a tribal garb. In Ghana, Jerry Rawlings led a coup that eliminated three former heads of state, top military officers and top members of the judiciary. Not one of those killed was from Jerry Rawlings Ewe tribe, but Ghanaians didn’t spew tribalism into the coup and Ghana is better for it. With too many vultures and opportunists...preying on tribalism in Nigeria the story was bound to be different and thus a coup driven out of patriotism and obvious anger at the state of affairs was reconstructed as an Igbo coup and the worms were let out from the woodwork.


JANUARY 1966 COUP

Adewale Ademoyega, a full blooded Yoruba army officer, was deeply involved in the planning and execution of the January coup. His book ‘Why We Struck’ gives insight into the coup’s antecedents; planning; modus operandi and partial success. Any study of January 15 that ignores Ademoyega’s book is incomplete.

In a September 5 2010 interview with ‘The Nation’ newspaper, Matthew Mbu, then a Junior Defence Minister, narrated how, at an Air Force base in Kaduna on an official assignment on 5 January 1966, he was bluntly told by Brigadier Samuel Ademulegun that the military was going to sack the government. Ademulegun made no bones about their plan to shoot key members of the political class, notably Chief Okotie-Eboh, the Minister for Finance.

... the killing of Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Unegbe is attributed to his possession and non-surrender of the Lagos armoury keys to the plotters.
As professional soldiers the plotters knew this. Going by the accounts of Ademoyega and Gbulie who wrote ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors,’ what the plotters desperately needed were armoured vehicles to consolidate their gains in Lagos on January 15.

In page 60 of his book, Ademoyega mentioned Unegbe as one of the officers he and his colleagues had marked down for arrest.

Northern officers and men were involved, especially at the execution stage. Max Silloun, the military historian, mentions them in his landmark online article ‘The inside story of Nigeria’s first military coup Parts 1 and 2.’ It can be accessed from most search engines. Prominent among these Northern officers was the then Lieutenant John Atom Kpera who later became the Benue State governor in the Babangida regime. Kpera participated in the coup under Captain Ben Gbulie, Nzeogwu’s right hand-man in Kaduna. (See Ben Gbulie: ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors.’).

Although Adewale Ademoyega is the most prominent Yoruba participant in the coup, there were other Yoruba officers who were involved at the dangerous execution stage of the coup. One of them is Second Lieutenant Olafimihan, an officer serving under Madiebo in Kaduna. He was sent by the plotters to gauge his commander’s loyalty. (See Madiebo pp.17-18). Another is Lieutenant (some books refer to him as a Captain) Fola Oyewole. He, like Ademoyega, went on to fight for Biafra and wrote a book on his coup and wartime experiences. The book’s title is ‘Reluctant Rebel.’ There is also Captain Ganiyu Adeleke who became an instructor in the Biafran Infantry School. For confirmation, see the list of coup plotters detained by Ironsi’s regime in Ademoyega pp.106-108, and this quote from Nowa Omoigui’s online account: ‘Mid-Western Invasion of 1967’: ‘Captain Ganiyu Adeleke, who had taken part in both the January 15 coup and the Mid-Western invasion before becoming an instructor in the Biafran School of Infantry was released at a later date after his co-plotters had been freed.’ Omoigui’s work is significant because, though he exhibits a high level of professionalism in his research, he has no sympathy for the January 15 coup. If his facts corroborate Ademoyega’s they are worthy of attention.

If so, shey na by force to carry load go North and stay in the North? Why are you losers so scared to sit your assesss in your villages?

You are cruising for the same treatment in the SW and the Oba telling you to die inside lagoon is the first warning...


abi den swear for you people ni? Na by force to die on top other peopel's land ni?

flokii:


ode.. carry dat ur flat head to south Africa and see if they wnt treat your fuckup.. you're hiding and enjoying freedom of speech under one Nigeria you dey happy
BTW where was ICC when you guys were being butchered... COW

Your Oba must be brought down to his knee, by the time Ndiigbo is through with him, he would have no reputation left.

Your ignorant Oba thinks this is 1960s when Akintola and Awo were allowed to get away with public display of Igbophobia packaged as speeches, the world has changed, but you lots haven't, you will soon realize how much the world have changed.

Rose2014:


Why won't u find it funny when all u do on nl is to be looking for anti-Igbo threads to spite them?

I expect Oba Akiolu's statement to be condemned by all. Well except by people like you and dr Ariyo

When did voting a candidate of your choice become a crime in Nigeria?


Oh by the way, proudly 5%

I hope the ICC is also looking into Patience Jonathan's "stone anyone that shouts change" statement.

Last time I checked, Ndiigbo packed their bags and left Arewa-Oduanistan for you lots and headed East, did you lots stay in your Islamic Arewa Oduanistan, or did you match down to the East at Gakem forcing co existence with Easterners?

Are you lots suffering from a kind of dissonance? You want "one Nigeria", but you at the same time want to keep your regions to yourselves, are you lots serious?

aresa:



What are you going to do? Carry gun?

Disgrace Oba, his throne and his hordes of Yoruba supporters like we are currently doing all over the social media and all relevant authorities, drag him to as much mud as possible.

Expose you lots for psychos you lots are.

I really admire your patience with these clowns. I can't understand how you can proclaim your hatred for a group yet continue fighting to stay in the same country with them. As they say, extreme hatred leads to irrationality.

What is this village bingo barking all over the place? The fact that I want 1 Nigerian doesn't mean people should tolerate your hateful, bigoted and warped way of life...


Keep your madness in your backward and stoneage village..
