ibedun: Lol. Why are you wasting your time on Myndd? The guy is your typical deceitful, treacherous, chameleon-esque and two-faced Yoruba guy folks need to run from cos folks like him will laugh in ya face - and end up stabbing you at the back. Just look at how inconsistent all his posts on this thread are - from the first one, to the last. He knows the truth...and covered it indirectly with sarcasm on his first post. Then afterwards, he decided to play to the gallery and get PC - just to mask it, so as to sound pseudo-enlightened/sophisticated. he isn't fooling no one but himself. Deep inside him, he knows you're right but his stupidity and cowardice won't let him side with you in public. At least, you said it as it's and sensible Igbos need to laud you for speaking your mind - with no chaser. The real bigot and tribalist here is the clown who has lived in a place long enough to contest an election and feel comfortable enough to marry into the ethnic group. Only a bigot won't assimilate and it's obvious the guy is a bigot. So basically cos a lone-ranger found himself in a place that has a custom and has been conducting business a certain way, due to the history/culture/tradition of the place - everyone has to change and start pandering to his pompous entitlement and bigotry, no? This is why a lot of folks will never like an Igbo. These folks are some of the most terrible, selfish, arrogant, and stupid people I've ever seen. I honestly don't know what a city being cosmopolitan has to do with the culture/tradition of a place. The Welsh Parliament conducts whatever they do in both English and Welsh (and I believe Cardiff is a cosmopolitan city) - that would amount to Scot and Irish MPs who won elections there telling them to stop speaking Welsh and start speaking only the English language. And vice versa for Irish and Scottish Parliaments. This guy is a clown...this is what happens when you allow a sewage rat to take advantage of your meekness and docility. Effing bigot. 8 Likes |

Mynd44: You did not answer the question I posed. Lagos (not Kano) is very cosmopolitan. It doesn't matter who owns a city, but who occupies it. That it why in history, there has always been very strong interest in who 'occupies' a city. For example, today's America used to be occupied by the Red Indians. They are known as the natives. But today, what is the anthropological spread of the American State? What is the percentage of the Native Americans? The Normans conquered Great Britain and till this very day, the royals of the British Kingdom have a trace of the Vikings in their genes. So coming to Lagos, the Igbos have a very strong representation in the city (which is more than 40% - a conservative estimate) and contribute significantly to the commercial and economic activities in the City. Now they have a representation in Government. I understand that the Yoruba folks might want to maintain their cultural heritage but doing so in the Legislative house, where every one has an 'equal' opportunity for a say, and considering that we are diverse in form and substance, it is not good for us. They can have that in the mainstream media, communicating to the public as they desire to achieve a wider reach and audience but not in the House. So if I don't understand Yoruba, and you make it the official language for a particular day, don't you think you are depriving me of something? I have no problem with traditions, cultures and heritage. In fact, I cherish it and it is one of my motivating factor for wanting to travel and explore. I love to see other people from other culture and naturally take a liking for them. However, for ease of communication, for the benefit of understanding, for forging mutual alliance and strengthening cooperation, the barrier of language must be broken. If by speaking Yoruba we have issues communicating, don't you think it is better for us to speak a language that is very common to both of us? I can learn your language but should not be out of the fear of mutual distrust and suspicion. But for the sake of my pleasure. |

kaboninc: Lol. I'm not interested in any back and forth debate about Lagos with you. However, I only quoted you to make corrections to your post cos it seems you don't really know much about, hence you made references to different historical citations from other climes, in wrong contexts. And almost everything have no correlation whatsoever with Lagos. 1). The story of "Native Americans" and those from Lagos have no correlation whatsoever. The Indian tribes who used to live in today's America were conquered and the conquerors created their own country on a conquered territory. Lagos State isn't a conquered territory albeit you can make an argument for a small portion of it - Eko/Lagos Island - as being conquered by Bini. However, all the other parts of Lagos were never conquered by anyone and the natives who founded those places are still the ones who own them. So no correlation whatsoever. 2). Normans never conquered Great Britain. Great Britain includes: England, Scotland and Wales. The Normans only conquered England and Wales. Scotland was never conquered by the Normans. And the Welsh maintained their heritage after the conquest, hence they still speak a unique language and they're still predominantly Celts - just as their Irish and Scottish cousins. Though there's an admixture of ancient Bretons. England is a different kettle of fish entirely. And the reason why you can't use England is because all those who conquered England - from the Normans (Normans and Vikings are basically the same people), to the Jutes, to the Saxons, to the Angles - are all from the same ethnic group. They're all Germanic people. And these are the folks who make-up the English nation - same people. Also, the British Royal family is of German ancestry and also Germanic. So I don't know why you had to emphasise the Viking blood, since it has no relevance here. And what's the point of the pseudo-history, anyway? Just debate the topic with the guy you're debating with by using modern cosmopolitan cities as references - rather than re-writing history and applying it in wrong contexts. 4 Likes |

Shymm3x: In today's world, a city does not necessarily needs to be 'conquered' by 'force' before there can be a 'change'. I made reference to America because today's occupiers of that country were not the aborigines. So I do not see your point here. I know so well that it was conquered and I also said too that it doesn't matter who owns a city but who occupies it. That goes a long way to tell us that some way, the use of force must have been in place and that happened in the US and also in Northern Nigeria. But in today's world, with the deepening of democracy, another system of obtaining ownership is unfolding - this time through votes.
Yeah, it wasn't Great Britain but England. I wonder why you think I shouldn't have had to emphasize the Viking blood as part of the British Royal Family when the Vikings did conquer and rule England (beginning from Rollo - Robert, first ruler of Normandy). I see no distortion of facts here neither did I attempt to re-write history nor apply it in wrong contexts. However, the essence of my reference to this topic was to make us know that it doesn't matter who owns a city but who occupies and controls it. |
Re: Igbo Member In Lagos Assembly Protests Against Use Of Yoruba During Sitting. by Shymm3x: 12:59pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
kaboninc: I still don't understand your point. 1). Why should there be a change in a place still occupied by the indigenous people and what type of change are you campaigning for? London is a cosmopolitan city - however the greatness of London stems from the great architecture, history, culture, and tradition of the place. Ditto Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Berlin, Rome etc. That's why London is a unqiue city and why tens of millions of tourists visit London annually. And whoever moves to London assimilates into the city, without trying to change it - not the other way around. If you can't assimilate into the uniqueness of a place - you have to get out of there. I believe your mindset is of a covetuous one and you're envisaging a scenario whereby Lagos would become an Igbo city. That's just wishful thinking cos it's never going to happen. And this is also why folks resent Igbos. You lot better change ya suicidal mindset before you self-destruct. Also, this is why Europeans will always be more advanced than Africans and why they continued to dominate via continuity. When the Roman empire collapsed and the Romans left all their conquered territories in Europe - most of the tribes that moved in never changed the system/structures that they left behind. They kept everything intact, assimilated into it, and consolidated on everything - hence they were able to project easily into the next stage of development. However, with Africans - it's always about utter destruction and obtuse change. 2). However, how's one Germanic blood different from the other? That's like emphasising Ijebu blood in the King of Ibadan, when Ibadan is part of Yorubaland and Ijebus are also Yorubas. Or emphasising the Ketu (Yoruba group in Benin) in probably an Alaafin of Oyo. How does that change the fact that they're basically from the roots? 3). So Igbos now own and control Lagos? If so, why's this bigot, the lone-ranger, crying about the use of Yoruba language? A lot of you are just unnecessarily and vacuously arrogant, and suicidal. You lot are too conceited with unnecessary sense of entitlement and that's your biggest Achilles heel. 5 Likes 1 Share |

kaboninc: Everytime there is discussion on Yoruba culture and indigenity you Ibos throw an American example to whitewash legitimacy of the points in favor to native rights. Yorubaland is not America and will never be America. There is no validity to Ibo's population in Lagos any other way than to look at election results and voting patterns. There is no way you are 40% in Lagos and APC had a landslide victory in the State at all levels. It is mathematically and statistically impossible.....the only area the number has validity is in the minds of propagandists. As a Lagos indigene myself my hatred for Ibos knows no bounds, simply because traditionally our motto is Eko for Show....Eko is the land of fancy and merriment, you make your money, live a good life and uplift the community. Since Ibo started smelling itself in Lagos the Show in Eko has dissapeared, what we have now is Eko for Conflict! Every news, every topic, every issue about Lagos Ibo wants to dominate and when you are denied space you turn it into conflict....your Ohanaeze gets involved, your Ezes get involved, you run to social media and insult and denigrate Yoruba culture, its leaders and even the land. We do not owe you anything.....Iboland owe you a Yoruba free assembly, Yorubaland does not. I want you also to pay attention to emerging issues in the Nation. Hausas in the North are tired of you and your ignomity in their region and everytime the issue of separation comes up from anywhere they oppose it but when issue of regionalism comes up they are silent. Yorubas have been agitating for regionalism as a first option and secessiin as a last resort. Ibos do not ask for regionalism at all, you are focused on either a continous centralized power or a secession. Even today in ministerial screening we got hints first, of Ibo's sourness and reference back to a transparent action in which every ethnic group was affected by Fsshola's deportation saga, the fact an Ibo senator will challenge that more than a year after a court threw it out speaks volume of your bitterness, hatred and long throat. Second, Fashola introduced into the minds of Senators that decentralisation will be an agenda of the current administration. In fact two Emirs in the North have joined the chorus of Yorubas and begged Buhari to implement the Confab report of 2014. Regionalism will shift our political center in Yorubaland back to Ibadan. Policies will be drafted by representatives from each of the Yoruba Commonwealth and business in Lagos will no longer be as usual. Yorubaland has never in its history regretted welcoming others on its soil and providing refuge and solace for their troubles....for first time in our land and history every Yoruba regrets having Ibo on its soil.

Shymm3x: Don't you think you're the bigot who's lamenting in this case and even maligning the Igbo Lagos Assembly member who displayed great wisdom and tact while answering the questions posed to him? Go through the interview and see for yourself so you can cease displaying your vacuous arrogance and conceited ego online. There's nothing covetous in anyone acquiring landed properties that were freely sold in the market in any place on earth. Covetousness is even the other way round and your greedy Yoruba folks are the culprits. You don't expect an Igbo man who was sold lands at hundreds of millions of Naira per plot not to exercise his rights as the due landlord. In fact it's criminal and punishable with lengthy jail terms for any Yoruba man to ever think he can dispossess the Igbo man of his assets in Lagos. That can only be possible in medieval times, and it's a wishful thinking and suicidal in this modern age. There is no law on this earth that prohibits free movement of people, acquiring properties and participation in government. It takes a man of courage to venture into an unknown terrain and conquer it. This is the true character of the ever industrious and peace-loving Great Igbo Nation. As of today it would be an understatement to aver that Igbos control 50% of the economy of Lagos and its environs. Advise your Yorubas folks to stop lazing around and depending on the crude oil wealth from another's backyard. Tell them to travel out and see what the future holds in other places and climes. And nothing on this earth stops you from hustling and buying up properties in the South-East. If Yorubas can grow thick skins then they are capable of surviving and competing favourably across the Niger. They should venture into remote areas of the North, Middle-belt and South-South zones to invest, build houses and establish business empires as the Igbos do. There's nothing stopping them except them! Cease from being short-sighted and wallowing in the ocean of tribalism. You end up dissipating your energy in hating and being envious of goal-getters and achievers - the Great Igbo Nation who have made life meaningful for you and your folks in Lagos and itsĀ environs. |
