"I am not Yoruba, I am Nigerian"

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

You are a moron. I was responding to your post that Baga was captured.
I dont give two shyts about some Hausas telling Igbos to leave their land.
Northern elders have come out to condemn the group who issued the quit notice but you wouldnt post that because you lsck integrity and would not dare confront the "cowards". You better stay and rot in Canada.

If only you were this mad when you found out how Fulanis conquered Ilorin and enslaved your ancestors!

I came into the thread ready with my back-up but I see the point in this.
The reason why this isn't as easy for Nigerians however is because our culture as Yorubas' , igbos', Fulanis' etc. is all so different,and not simple as location.
Nonetheless, I also know the tribalism politically is the reason why Igbo's will NEVER be allowed to run the country so maybe, it not being the only identifier would progress the country further.

What would I be mad about? Im not from Ilorin and im not from a tribe of cry babies who throws tantrums anytime they cant have their way.
Dont you feel ashamed to even admit that a certain tribe has its foot on your neck? That's pathetic. To hell with weaklings!

Fulanis have had their foot on your neck since the 19th century. There are emirates in your homeland. The weakness among your people is known all over West Africa.

Dahomey's women soldiers used to love attacking Yorubaland because it was easy pickings. The Fulani of the Sokoto Caliphate thought the same. Now, Igbos economically dominate Lagos and there are Igbo politicians controlling parts of Lagos state such as Rita Orji and Tony Nwoolu

Yes to all those things. Igbos have been murdered wholesale all over nigeria. Igbos are regularly denied housing by tribalists, especially in Lagos. Police shoot and kill protestors in igbo land all the time. Roving fulani cow herders are allowed to kill indiscriminantly in igbo land with little to no repercussions from the government.

Igbos are heavily marginalized in nigeria. Any success you see them achieve, both in Nigeria or anywhere in the world is purely due to God's grace. The Nigerian government actively prevents Igbo advancement to this day.

I dont even know why im wasting my time because you clearly not been sincere here. Igbos are probably #2 in terms of population in lagos. Who is denying them housing? Are they living on the streets?

Igbos especially do get killed over trivial issues in the North but to say "wholesale all over Nigeria" is definitely a stretch. Nobody is killing Igbos in the Middlebelt and the South.
Police shoot and kill protesters all over Nigeria, whether they are protesting removal of fuel subsidy, arrest of Ibrahim Zakzaky or the Biafra issue.

Fulani herdsmen roam and kill all over Nigeria, not just in Igboland.

Igbos always fuss and make everything about them. People dont take you seriously anymore when you cry wolf all the time.

This is the equivalent of when White people in the US say “let’s all just be American”...they say that because they don’t want to respect your differences. The only time Nigerians have cohesion is when they are in a foreign land talking to someone they deem to be an outsider. Nigerian people in the US be all on that Nigerian pride bullshyt to AAs because they know the average AA doesn’t know the difference between an Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, or Yoruba. But when they are talking to another person they consider to be an insider to the culture then all the prejudice and animosity they have for one another rears its ugly head. That’s why splitting that land up is beneficial...Nigeria as a construct does not respect the classical African geographic and ethnic boundaries. A White man basically came and put crips and bloods in one house not understanding and not respecting the history behind the two gangs. Now they are fighting every day and people are like:

“I don’t see why they can’t get along they’re both gangs right?” Then some c00n in the house stands up and says “let’s just all be Crips and call it a day” and the Bloods are like

But this presupposes that the creation of sovereign nations are by completely homogenized groups, or that w/o that - success wouldn't be possible...which is the furthest thing from the truth as most states in fact are made up from different ethnicities.

It also doesn't account for the fact that even w/in the same groups, sects, clans,even tribes often times splinter off into rival groups, and cause perpetual civil war; which we also have seen!

There are Igbo politicians in Lagos State, yet Igbos are marginalized and treated poorly. So which one is it? Im glad you are making my point that this marginalization cry is a fraud.

Name the Emirates in my homeland since you seem to do a lot of internet research.

My homeland is easy pickings yet Dahomey never defeated it. Dahomey used to pay tribute to Oyo. Do you now see why I berated your public school education? Your parents dropped the ball on that one.
They never told you how Hausa soldiers used to have their way with your grandmas when they entered Enugu. You probably have Hausa blood in you. I dare you to take a dna test.

No it does not. You can have the bloods and crips come together by their own free will and accord and be just fine because they will try to resolve whatever conflicts they have before joining together. However when an external force rams them together mid conflict then you will for sure have issues. My point is not that you cannot have more than one ethnicity in a nation, my point is that it has to be done by the inhabitants and not by a person or entity that has no knowledge of the politics and ecology of the people.

You did two years in Nigeria and during that time, you saw people being denied housing and employment, denied executive positions in govt and top companies, denied the right to own property anywhere, denied the right to vote, targeted and killed by police, lynched by mobs for dating Hausa and Yoruba girls, all just because they are Igbo. Is that what you saw in Nigeria?
If you saw those things, then I would agree with you that Igbos are the "******s" of Nigeria.

I agree. How insulting to even make such a ridiculous comparison!

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

How are we gonna get Yorubas, Hausas, Igbos, and other Nigerian ethnic groups on code when the Igbos alone in this very thread are at odds with each other and at each others neck-lol.

The moist c00n Tariq isn't even on code himself. fukk him.

Everything before however validates the point that nationhood,regardless of deeply entrenched past history is possible - only if ALL parties ultimately see the common good; or at least it seeing the greater benefit. Example: EU, which in of itself shows that even in war, internal/external conflict,unification is possible.Not always pretty, nonetheless possible...
Even w/this Brexit shyt, which I think is more of a bluff,side note..

Political unification is not possible under this bloody, bigoted regime. There's no going back. Look at Nigeria's President vowing to give regions who didn't vote for him nothing. Imagine if Trump said African-Americans deserve nothing after he won. Would you want to unify with him?

Are you retarded? I told you Ilorin is not my homeland nor part of it. Ilorin seceded long before it fell to the Fulanis. They got what they deserve.

Are you taking that Ancestry test or you want to keep it a family secret? Im going to call u Aboki from now till you show me the test results

Yeah but that’s not the situation in Nigeria so I don’t even see your point.
