Nice write up but I think he's too critical of his people. An average ibo might think he's been paid to blast his people and appease other ethnic groups. But be it as it may, a white man does not give a Bleep between an Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Tiv or Fulani. We're all motherfucking niggas to them. So why the hate? What binds us is far stronger than what divides us...I wish we all could see the beauty in each group. Life is about live and let's live... |

Omoluabi16: The bolded is a meaningless statement. What you stated is as much a "mere opinion" as what I stated. Believe it or not, regardless of the nonsense that gets peddled here, the hatred you think we carry around is figment of the imagination: especially as concerns Yorubas. Igbos do hate Hausa/Fulanis. It's undeniable and a legacy of the lingering bitterness from the civil war and pre-civil war pogroms and a long list of massacres and the perception they rule the country and are beneficiaries of unmerited government largesse and favourable policies. What Igbos feel for Yorubas is basically the same mutual suspicion and distrust that exists among Yorubas about Igbos. If you harbour suspicions about Igbo men because you think we're "lousy/loud and love money", you're no different from other tribalists you decry. 7 Likes |

deedeedee1: What about "fada fada" by phyno and olamide or any other song by phyno alone knowing that he raps in igbo language a lot. I have attended weddings of pple from other parts of Nigeria, yoruba inclusive, where "Ada Ada " by flavour was played. Its obvious that This level of hatred and intolerance is an igbo thing if you ask me and its being spread by a vocal minority. truth is the hatred pple like you point to is really non existent. What we have instead are natural haters, like south Africans against Nigerians , who want to die hating others. This shi.ite happened far away in the US bruv, not here in Nigeria. If a Yoruba DJ graced his church member wedding with his band free of charge and was walked out afterwards , who is the tribalist and pained hater here. The guy ddnt even sing in Yoruba he sand in englis but played juju tunes. This goes to show how intolerant some igbos can be. With this kind of behavious little wonder why others don't invest in sir land. If the yorubas were not accomodatging the igbos can't archive jack in the west. This is real madness taking too far. Its like saying no afrobeat in igbomans party because fela is Yoruba.

Obi1kenobi:Hausa/igbo hatred is glaring. yeah. only God knows the reason for the silly supremacy war between you both.And the 'war' preceded the civil igboshis 'on line nonsense' is beginning to shape the perception of some igbos and yyorubasabout each other. Each passing day, we keep bringing up more reasons to make the hatred present. NK will tell the world that it is yoruba/hausa against biafrans. Yoruba media and such rubbish. It is transferred aggression because we have maintained an okay relationship with the north. These and many more are being peddled about by more igbos these days. Mutual suspicion is a constant human factor. But suspicion is not aggression with the biafran Igbos have heaped on the yorubas non stop.

ogmask: Jesu!!! And I attended several Igbo weddings where Sunny Nneji's "Oruka" was played. Yet, you people keep peddling the same horseshit again and again, repeating the same fallacy. And then there's the same predictable stuff about being "accommodators" and simplistic nonsense about how people don't invest in the SE because of our behaviour. So that makes sense to an adult like you? The SW is the most prosperous region in Nigeria because it is the most strategically located region in the country, making it historically first the contact point of colonialists and then the main trade route through land and sea with the world and other West African nations. Consequently, industries naturally and organically aggregated around it. The SE is the least strategically located region in the country having no sea access and being the only region with no international land borders and also by far the smallest landmass in the country and the least gifted in mineral and natural resources and arable land. There's also the small fact it has comfortably the smallest Federal presence among the regions. That might account for our inferior investments compared to the SW. You can keep peddling nonsense though about our behaviour and our tribalism, since it makes you feel all better and self-righteous. 5 Likes |

Obi1kenobi: Hello, Calabar was also a contact point for the early colonial masters, and a main trading route as well. Why didn't 'industries naturally and organically aggregate' around it? Federal presence was removed from Lagos to Abuja in 1991, when Abuja became the political capital of Nigeria. Yet Lagos, has remained a thriving city and commercial capital. Since the 16th century, Calabar had been a recognized international seaport, shipping out goods such as palm oil. During the era of the Atlantic slave trade, it became a major port in the transportation of African slaves and was named Calabar by the Spanish. By the 18th century, most slave ships that transported slaves from Calabar were English, with around 85% of these ships being owned by Bristol and Liverpool merchants. Old Calabar (Duke Town) and Creek Town, 10 miles northeast, were crucial towns in the trade of slaves in that era. The first British warship to sail as far as Duke Town, where she captured seven Spanish and Portuguese slavers, may have been HMS Comus in 1815. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calabar 1 Like |

laudate: Which industries did Nigeria have in the 16th to early 20th century? Slave industry? The colonial government and the FG didn't invest 1/100th what it invested in Lagos as the seat of power and trade hub in Calabar. Why kid yourself? I'm tired of having these Lagos arguments. It's interesting you talk about Abuja. It was basically a bush, but in 1/3rd the time Lagos spent as capital of Nigeria, it has become basically the most developed city in the country. Ondo, Osun, Oyo and Ekiti are not like Lagos. They are "accommodating" Yorubas too, are they not? Ogun is coming up fast only because it's lucky to be the border state surrounding Lagos and industries are spilling over from Lagos into it. This still points to the relevance of strategic location. There's no point deluding ourselves about the blessings of Lagos. Kaduna is the most developed state in the core North and Enugu is the most developed city in the SE because they were regional administrative capitals. Government investment matters. But all this is irrelevant. Calabar is not an Igbo city. I'm pointing out the fallacious logic in claiming greater investment in the SW compared to the SE is because of how "accommodating" Yorubas are. If you put that nonsense in a first year term-paper in university, you'd get a resounding F. 5 Likes |

Obi1kenobi: Please go back into history. The slave trade was abolished in 1807 when the British parliament enacted the Slave Trade Act, making it a crime for British merchants to take part in the slave trade. By 1850 Britain had drawn up anti-slavery treaties with West African traditional rulers or monarchs, to put an end to the heinous act of slave trafficking. Attention was then turned to cash crops and commodities such as palm oil, cocoa, groundnuts and palm kernels, which were exported to Europe in large quantities to make soap, and used as machine lubricants. It was even speculated that palm oil exports alone, were worth £1 billion a year by 1840. Calabar was the closest port to the Igbo communities in the colonial era, and when the trade in legitimate commodities started, such products were harvested from Igbo land (especially Onitsha) and exported through Calabar ports. In fact, the Calabar protectorate was a major point for export of palm products from Igbo land to Europe. Don't forget that Britain also formed the Oil Rivers Protectorate, which included the Niger Delta, and extended eastward to Calabar. You stated that the "SW is the most prosperous region in Nigeria, because it is the most strategically located region in the country, making it historically first the contact point of colonialists and then the main trade route through land and sea with the world and other West African nations. Consequently, industries naturally and organically aggregated around it...." I merely pointed out that Calabar also had early contact with the colonialists, and served as a major trade route by sea and land, to the rest of the world. It was also strategically located. So its' development should have been similar to Lagos, during the colonial period, not so? The Nigerian colonial economy depended on three major export crops - cocoa, palm produce and groundnuts. The colonial economy in most of Africa was structured to improve the economies of the colonizing or metropolitan powers. However, given the fact that one major reason why Britain colonized Nigeria was to ensure a cheap and steady supply of raw materials to British industries, the colonial administration completely discouraged the cultivation of food crops while encouraging cash crops production (Usoro 1977). ....The raw materials, which Britain needed included cotton for British textile factories, rubber for tyres and other products, palm oil and kernel for soap and margarine, groundnut for manufacturing oil, hides and skins for leather products, timber for furniture as well as tin, coal, amongst others (Onimode 1981). http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.487.9902&rep=rep1&type=pdf 5 Likes |

How many government secretariats, airports, deep sea ports, stadia, museums, power plants, the biggest network of major roads and multiple major bridges in the country etc, did they build in Calabar? Was Calabar the state capital of Nigeria between 1914 and 1991? Why are you comparing what is incomparable? When I point out that strategic locations determine investment, what exactly are you arguing against, cos you seem to be arguing for the sake of it? I told you I didn't want to stray from the theme of the thread to have this pointless argument that I've had a million times. I only mentioned it because of the absurd claim that people invest more in the SW than the SE because of how "accommodating" our Yoruba brothers are and I've pointed out that is a nonsensical claim to any reasonable person. 8 Likes |

The writer is formular one grade of stupid. He spoke like a demented fool who needs brain re-examination in John Hopkins Hospital. What sort of idiotic write up is this? Because of an event that I do not believe it happened, he has escalated the whole igbo people. There has been many cases in weddings in Lagos where the bride and groom are igbos and they had to play Ayefele music. There has been many weddings where in a yoruba church like redeem, they had no choice than to use the a yoruba band from the choir to entertain visitors. But the fact remains that I have not seen the reverse in any yoruba wedding either in lagos or ibadan. You can tell all the lies you wish to tell but I was born and raised in Lagos and I know what I am saying. If they do not play fuji music like in the 80's and 90's, they play other songs but not with an igbo band. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
