I say this because when IPOB starts marching and stating their rights, many on both the Yoruba and Hausa side of the internet coin will open more threads than a Biafran man can ever imagine concoting. We'll see more tweets from both sides than the whole of Aba can ever produce on a good day.

But now that Yoruba Lagosians have spilled more northern blood than the alleged acts of violence by IPOB...we're witnessing an eerie and total silence. It goes to show that the online community of 'nigerians' is primarily on the backs of a very few anti-igbo, bigotted individuals that often don't live in Nigeria but wait for a chance to express their discomfort, fear, and hatred with Igbos if given the chance.

These fights are not uncommon in the SW. In fact many should know that there has been more violence between SW and North than North and East or East and SW in the past few years. Yet it seems to me that those who would create the threads and tweet the tweets have something to protect in keeping silent about violence on Yorubas by Northerners or the reverse.

Has an obsession with Igbos robbed both sides of the ability to face anything else even if it's bleeding in front of their face?

That because evven when the fight,they don't take it persnal like Igbos I know,the move on!!!

is feeding us back our medicine so important to you that you can't solve any non-igbo related problem, or even address them with the passion you address any sneeze cough and hiccup in the igbo language?


Did you know that Ogun and Lagos lead the nation in kidnapping? But because you can't find an Igbo in that story, the story doesn't exist. Meanwhile over reporting by SW news agencies of any missing person in the east in an attempt to shame the east lead the east to stand up and stamp out the problem entirely. Meanwhile to even the top problem solvers in the SW, kidnapping doesn't exist in the SW.

How about erosion?
Fulani attacks?

Do you see the effect of this?

Omo there was no war, it was a little misunderstanding that led to casualty. It has come and gone just like a fluke... On the part of the yorubas, it has become past tense. I can't talk for Hausa people sha, but it will be very stupid of them to wage a retaliating move...

A typical Igbo man is always looking for news on conflict anywhere in Nigeria to justify their desire to secede.

They have become conflict speculators and secretly wish to watch from the sidelines a battle that will give them closure for the 1million Biafrans that Ojukwu sacrificed only to return from his Abidjan holiday to take up membership in "Fulani" party.

Inter-tribal conflict should not foreclose on future inter-tribal cooperation.
If Europe can come together in unity despite the many wars fought from the middle ages up to the world wars, then a more perfect union of willing ethnicities is possible in Nigeria.

HalfTruth:
Dimwit, how many anti-Yoruba threads did Northerners create in the last hour? Igbo maggots have a habit of infecting the internet with anti-Yoruba propaganda. Yorubas simply feed you back your medicine.

Their dream is to drive a wedge between the North and SW, because our alliance is giving them flashbacks of their plight during their lost war for secession through their present political alienation.

As if a battle between illiterate touts on both sides automatically translates to disharmony among the two political heavyweights.

Their frustration is frankly amusing.

One is master one is slave to perpetuity. What about the king of the lagoon

How are u Igbo boy, you are calling us slave cos of our political skills. In politics, you go for what pays u and your people and hence, the reason while yoruba always draw alliance with d north. Alliance with d north has been giving d yorubas their fair share as far as politics in Nigeria is concerned. I bet it with you, the moment the d yorubas sense that collaborating with d east will begin to pay them, they will not think it twice to shift ground towards east/west alliance... So igbo people should not expect our alliance with them until it start to pay us....

Al Jazeera reported it as riot yesterday. lemme update them on the true state of things and hopefully it gets aired soon.

The South-East will be like: Didn't we warn you guys not to join forces with the North. This is what you get and even more.

The OPC was involve in the ethnic clash that occurred in Sagamu on 17 July, 1999. As a major Kolanut trade center in Yorubaland Sagamu attracted a sizeable number of Hausa settlers.  The fighting which broke out there was precipitated by the death of a Hausa woman who was said to have flouted the order restricting women from coming out of their homes during specific hours of the night during the annual Oro festival.  The confrontation resulted in the death of about 50 people, while a reprisal attack in Kano on 22 July 1999 claimed over 100 lives.  The governors of Ogun and Kano states held several meetings to reconcile the Hausa and Yoruba communities in their states before peace was restored (The News, 31 January 2000).          The event that actually brought the OPC under public scrutiny was the clash of rival factions of dockworkers at the Apapa Port on 9 September 1999.  Evidence indicates that the OPC intervened in support of the Yoruba faction to prevent the “annexation” of the Lagos Port by the Ijaw faction that had recently won a trade union election in Port Harcourt.  By the end of the fight, 16 people had lost their lives in a gruesome manner.  The violence eventually spilled over into neighbouring Ajegunle, inhabited by both Ijaw and Yoruba people.  A curfew was imposed on the settlement for about a month before a truce was established, after several meetings between the community leaders and the Governor of Lagos State (The Guardian, 15 September 1999 and The News, 31 January 2000).          The situation was gradually returning to normalcy when the Ketu riot broke out on 26 November 1999.  This was a battle for the control of the popular Mile 12 market which pitted Yoruba against Hausa. The OPC was drawn into the riot in which daggers and other lethal weapons were freely used.  When an official statement put the death toll at 30, it is widely believed that the real figure was as high as 115 (Saturday Champion, 27 November 1999:5; Sunday Guardian, 16 January 2000: 15).  Due to frustration or in desperation, the federal government ordered the police to shoot members of the OPC on sight.  Some leaders of the north believed that the government response was not sufficient to guarantee the safety of lives and properties of northerners living in Yorubaland.  Hence, the decision to form the Arewa people’s Congress (APC) as a center force to the OPC. The situation was worsened by the report that this rival congress would be launched in Ibadan, the heart of Yorubaland, on 27 December 1999. The rumors of this event prepared the ground for the swift reaction of the OPC to an accident involving a Hausa tanker-driver at the Ojoo junction on 5 January  2000. It was another catastrophe as 10 lives were lost and 30 houses burnt (The News, 31 January 2000).          However, it was a coincidence that on the same day 6 people lost their lives and 12 house were burnt on Akala street, Mushin, in a cleansing operation against suspected armed robbers in Lagos by the OPC. While the police strongly condemned the OPC, the residents of Akala hailed the OPC members as liberators. The weight of public opinion compelled the Lagos State Governor to endorse the action of OPC during his fact finding mission to the area. The stand taken by the governor on the so-called “Akala purge” has sunce gained him a reputation as a patron of the OPC (The News, 31 January  2000, Daily Champion, 24 January  2000 and the Guardian, 16 January 2000).          Another important event shaped the image of OPC publicly as an organization differently seen as either benevolent or dangerous, was the abduction and murder of Mr. Sunday Afolabi, the Divisional police Officer (DPO) for Bariga by suspected members of OPC on 9 January 2000. This incident prompted President Olusegun Obasanjo to impose a blanket ban on all ethnic militias in the country, and he also threatened to impose a State of emergency o Logos Sate if Government Bola Tinubu failed to flush  out the OPC from the state. The (then) Inspector General of police, Musiliu Smith, placed a reward of N100,000 on the head of Gani Adams, the leader of the militant youth wing of the OPC. The Arewa people’s Congress (APC) raised the ransom to N300,000 (punch, 30 January 2000). The Northern Senators’ Forum (NSF) called for the removal of General David Jemibewon, the Yoruba minister in charge of Police Affairs, while expressing its support for the imposition of emergency rule in Lagos (Punch, 30 January 2000; Weekend Concord, 29 January 2000).  This turn of events led the governors of the Yoruba states of Ogun, Oyo, Osun and Ondo to issue a statement in support of Governor Bola Tinubu on 17 January 2000.  Prominent Yoruba traditional leaders-the Obas-as well as the Afenifere organization also warned that they would resist the imposition of emergency rule on any part of Yorubaland, in view of the experience of 1962 (Obafemi Awolowo, 1987).          Akinyele (2001) believed that the incidence involving the OPC in Ilorin in October, 2000 signaled the beginning of violence resulting from divisions created by Ilorin politicians.  The OPC, notorious for perpetrating violence since 1998, mobilized its members from parts of South West Nigeria and marched on Ilorin city with the purported aim of dethroning the Emir and installing a “Yoruba Oba” from Afonja descendants.  This incident was apparently influenced by some members of Afonja’s descendants located in Ganmo in the outskirts of Ilorin where the invaders converged.  The move was also influenced by the fact that the then Governor of Kwara State, Mohammed Lawal, is a direct descendant of Afonja in Ilorin. The police, however, foiled the attempt of the OPC members after killing 6 of them (Punch, 16 October 2000).  Sambo (2005) noted that the incidence involving OPC in Ilorin in October 2000 was considered as a transgression by the people of Ilorin who do not entirely see themselves as Yoruba.y brother I wonder how these people will leave together without Igbos, no wonder the word Biafra scares the living shits out of them, they should know Lagos has been conquered, northerners has invested alots, same with Igbos and other ethnic groups. All they will be doing is to be fighting every other ethnic group it can't change nothing, Lagos is a conquered territory.
