You mean the one where the campaigns in Ojo LGA were characterized by Igbo names on campaign posters with the campaigners escorted around the streets of Ojo, playing music from Osadebe and co.?
Tell me something I don't know.

No Ibo person was among the 52 that won chairman seats at the last LG election, even in Ojo.

Now you know.

Scotland has always run its own affairs with some deference to GB.
No such history exists for any part of Nigeria since its creation.

Igbo land has always run its own affairs until Lugard came to create Nigeria

Igbos have never at any time in history run their affairs together.
Every town was on its own fighting its neighbours for dominance, I doubt you
want to return to such era.

How does that relate to what I posted earlier?

Besides, it's spelt 'igbo'.

Yes, and we would rather return to that system than be fighting with the rest of Nigeria

Goodtalk jare nna, at least if the small boy kanu did not know where he going; but you as a true son of ndigbo,

you know your destination as a honorable member of parliament in a foreign part of this nation..

and you are wiser than the timid warmonger, because you will never allow an idiot to put sansan for you tea!

Lame talk.

Go to Abia and buy the governorship form na.

One day I Will tell my children how we fought Biafra war on Nairaland.

BankeSmalls:
Igbo lawmaker making laws for yorubas

see what he said:

“My children were born in Lagos and some of them
don’t even know their state of origin, they speak
Yoruba and so many Igbo children are like that across
the North and West"..this why yoruba is great

you've lost him already due to your backwardness,shame on you

giftq:
Very good. This is why we need an Igbo governor of Lagos asap

Untill you igbo learn to be less arrogant

oyb:


the so called igbo hatred is odd. igbos are 80% nomadic traders and their business is trading with other nigerians. go around nigeria and you will find them EVERYWHERE. go to zamfara, you will see them there.

take them out of nigeria as some are agitating and i'm sorry, but it is over. nigeria is their market.

as for all the marginalization talk , thats just more noise. i work in corporate nigeria, and i can tell you ibos are in no way under represented there

all this biafra, kanu etal is the pursuit of political power outside of conventional processes of dialogue and building alliances.

The problem of the tribe is greed!

They dont believe in equity,they only believe in domination.When they fail to dominate they cry maginalisation or create one non-existing domination in their head via empty chestbeating and bragging on nothing.That is why they will hate any tribe that limit their domineering tendency and greed such as yoruba and tends to find love in minorities(south south) that they can dominate easily.

If you truly know the history of Nigeria. Many people over the last 100 years immigrated from Sierre Leone, Liberia, Brazil to Lagos and their decendants today forgot their origin and today and are being classified as Yorubas through cultural assimilation. That is what will happen to some Igbos in the next decades as many will completely forget their origin and become Lagosians in which they will be called Yorubas.

I know that sucks a lot.thats their concern and problem not mine,If they like let them turn zulu,roots and tribe will always come biting in/on history.

Those people who came back to Lagos Island
or Abeokuta from Cuba, Brazil, Trinidad and
Tobago, Liberia and Sierra Leone are Yoruba
people who were taken away as captives
aboard slave ships. These people or their
children came back home after the abolition
of slavery before 1900 and after 1900.

The first Nigerian millionaire, Candido DaRocha
was born in 1859 in Bahia, Salvador in Brazil to a father
of Ijesa origin and also a Yoruba mother who
were both taken into slavery in Brazil.

Esan DaRocha came back to Nigeria with his
wife and 4 children who included Candido DaRocha. Several other Yoruba families
also came back from Brazil and became very
rich and influential in the Lagos Colony
and in the Yoruba interior of Egba, Ijesa, Oyo,
Ekiti where most of them came from originally.

The Alakija family also came back from
Brazil but their patriarch dumped the Brazilian
Surname and adopted the Yoruba family
name of Alakija.


A few Jamaican railway engineers were brought
by the British and they settled in the West Indian railway
quarters in Yaba, Lagos. Mrs.Hilda Adefarasin
is one of the children of the Jamaican railway
engineers and she was a senior nurse of Jamaican origin who got married to Justice
Adefarasin who was the Attorney General of
Lagos State in the 1970s government of
Brig. Gen. Mobolaji Johnson who was the
first Governor of Lagos State.
The Jamaican example above was an exception.

Look at you, you know nothing. He is one of the three core of the LSHA that worked for that Yoruba law to be codified and domesticated in Lagos.

eclint:
''your children are born in lagos and dont know their their state of origin, they speak yoruba and english." and you are not ashamed of saying it if really you are an igbo man.

Who taught the children Yoruba and English??
