They called him names, pronounced him mental, some even threatened his family members. His crime was that he spoke, not only did he speak, he spoke the truth. This is a very grievous crime to the Igbo.
They have their own ideology of what the truth ought to be and all creature must propagate Igbo’s version of ‘the truth’ even if it contradicts the facts on ground. It is a mission that must be accomplished.
According to Igbo intellectuals Chief Femi Fani Kayode erred because he replied the ever present idle and idling mob of Igbo online activist. He shouldn’t have said a word. After all, he’s a Yoruba man and according to them Yoruba’s are cowards. A reason he’s expected to keep shut like the rest of the voiceless elders from his tribe. Even when they are peddling lies, preaching hate and spreading propaganda, he must keep mute, after all, he’s Yoruba.
But they miss the point. FFK is not alone on this, he spoke the mind of millions of his people(myself inclusive). So how did FFK suddenly get his voice? Its very simple. Hooke’s law states that: ‘Provided the elastic limit is not exceeded’, the extension(e) of an elastic material is directly proportional to the force applied(F). Emphasis on: “Provided the elastic limit is not exceeded”. The truth is- the elastic limit has been exceeded. The Igbos have pushed their luck too far and ‘F’ is no longer directly proportional to ‘e’.
When Babatunde Raji Fashola, governor of Lagos state deported the destitutes that caused this whole brouhaha. Our ever loving Igbo online community; known for their gospel of hate, anger and lies saw it as an opportunity to display their talents. They did what they know how to do best. Shout! Boast!! Curse!!! It’s no news that Igbos are noisy. They seized that opportunity to call BRF all the bad glorifying names in their dictionary, they lied that he’s sending Igbo’s back home because his tribe is envious of the Igbos, they said he dare not do that to other tribes(hausa fulani’s), they labeled him Igbo hater, some said Yorubas are Nigeria’s problem. There’s nothing they did not say. In their usual way, they talked and talked and wrote and wrote and pinged and pinged and buzzed and buzzed about their hatred for the Yoruba race.
Unknown to many of them, Fashola’s deportation of Igbo destitute made the news because- somebody(a certain hypocrite- Peter Obi) ‘purposely’ want to draw Igbo sympathy to himself. It’s an election year in his state. So ‘Mr hypocrite’ must appeal to his people as caring and pro-Igbo even if it means wearing a mask of deceit. He knows his people are often vulgar, uncouth and very emotional. Fashola’s deportation of destitutes offered him a perfect opportunity to conceal his intentions. When he deported 29 beggars to their home states of Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom states in December, 2011. FFK’s accusers did not find their voice then- Deportation within an Igbo speaking state will not draw the required sympathy. It’s that simple.
While the champions of ethnic jingoism(Igbos) were all over the web displaying their bitterness and hatred for the Yorubas. No yoruba man talked. We didn’t talk not because we are cowards neither did we write, not because there’s no ink in our pen but because we are more refined than them. Not one prominent yoruba elder statesman replied them because we know that this is who they are. We know them because we are very conversant with their story, we remember vividly their history of 80 – 100years ago. We have since formed our opinion about them. We know that this ethnic debate didn’t just start today. We also know that the genesis of this ethnic debates emanates from Achebe and the Igbo bitterness that has permeated subsequent generations.

But, when one of their kins men, another pretentious hypocrite(Orji Uzor Kalu) called Lagos ‘A no man’s land’. FFK reminded them of their history and warned them not to push their luck too far.
Then, hell let loose. Now, heaven must fall. They questioned his audacity to state facts and truth(after all, he’s expected to be a coward).

Instead of them to vest their venom on Peter Obi for mis-informing the public and politicising the Lagos state deportation saga( because this isn’t the first time other state including Igbo speaking states have been deporting destitutes to Anambra state yet he’s never complained) they choose instead to leave the basic, the foundation, the root, the very beginning of the matter for their imaginary, leafless and flawed propagation of their version of the truth.

Chief Femi Fani Kayode isn’t the problem, the problem is the Igbo bitterness that has permeated subsequent generations.
Chief Femi Fani Kayode is no bastard. Infact, he rightly responded and his response best represent Yoruba’s opinion. We are very proud of him. No amount of blackmail can distort the fact, truth and history. As a matter of fact. Orji Uzor Kalu owes the Yorubas an apology for calling our land ‘A No man’s Land’. We belief that as soon as the cloud of hatred presently on his reasoning vanish away, he’ll do the right thing- Tender his apology. As for the master of hypocrisy, pretentious confusionist- Peter Obi; I really do not have much word for him, he can continue to disguise his cunnings, he can paint himself snow white but some of us can never be fooled. We know him, we know that, his mastery of deception is legendary. We also know that he’d soon come back in the DARK to beg.
While, there’s no space for hate in the heart of the average Yoruba man. The igbos have been pushing their luck. We will see how far they are prepared to push before they are firmly put in their place. Igbos hatred of Yorubas will not be let unrequited for too long.
Call me a tribal bigot, insult me, threaten me, blackmail me. Chief Femi Fani Kayode is my spokesman. His response is the opinion of millions of Yoruba’s. I am first a Yoruba before being a Nigerian. Like FFK said: perhaps its time to answer the nationality question.

You have just reintirated the truth for the igbos to think about, for I don't understand how someone who is not from a place claiming to own the place. The question the they (the igbo) has failed to answer is which part of the south east has been labeled a 'no man's land'. Before them labeling someones land 'a no man's land. The national orientation agency has much work to do concerning reorientating the igbo for they still have much hatred for the other ethnic group that form the entity called NIGERIA.
ReplyDeleteBros Gbam, gbam, gbamest!!!! You have spoken my mind. Let the insults begin!!! Oya
ReplyDeleteOne question we all need to answer is: When Lagos was a Yoruba land, were there no agreement before it became a federal territory? If there was an agreement what were the terms for that agreement? If there were no such, why havent the yorubas tasked the FG for reparation and rentage? If it is now a yoruba land rather than a Federal territory what was the agreement between FG and Yorubas by the time FG left for Aso Rock? What does the land use act say? Can a land be purchased from an owner only for that land to return to the former owner? What if there were original owners disposesed by war by the yorubas? Have we read about the History of the Harbert Marcauley and the likes? Who are the orriginal occupants????? Lots of questions. Lagos remains a NO MAN'S LAND!!!
ReplyDeleteInfact,Olagunju Isaac I am proud of you.you hav also spoken the minds of all YORUBAS (the peace lovers) just like FFK did except dt of d one deserved to be called a BASTARD Femi ARIBISALA and his likes.We all know d Origins of Hausas and Yorubas.Let d Igbos tell the world their origin.they ar like d lost sheeps of israel dt never reached the promise land and hav now become a menace to d World.they shld call themselves to order.Long Live Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteShame on the Nndigbo.
ReplyDeleteIrresponsible set of people.
This is exactly what caused the Nigerian Biafran war. This is why they never got support even from their neighbours like the Akwa Iboms, the Ijaws, the Effiks, the Ogonis, etc. They have penchant to know it all and have it all. Yet they mostly claim to be 'christians' the Hausas knows them better, Pretenders of the highest order. They are cheat. Imagine up till now no better rejoinder, instead the rain insult on FFK. I so much thank God that we have a person like FFK telling the nothing but the truth. Ask any other ethnic group he/she will tell you that it is the truth. They always feel they are more important than any being. Have you seen an Ibo man that has little money your guess is as good as mine. Always in a hurry to make money, he will be the first to pick his Bible Sunday morning. I think they should this country alone and go to where they come from. They are holding the country back in terms of development.
mumu people lik una. Igbos are God's gift to dis nation. U guys are just jealosy of God's blessings n wisdom upon des igbos. Heart attack will start killing u guys one after another bc of hatred. Write ur will n dig ur pit if can't love igbos bc dey are apple of God's eye. Love ur neighbour as ursef dts wot d Holy Bible says. Real yoruba man kns who am igbo man is. U guys are not yoruba but born thro ways. I've no time for una.
ReplyDeleteWhen Peter Obi deported 29 beggars to their home states of Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom states in December, 2011. FFK’s accusers did not find their voice then- Deportation within an Igbo speaking state will not draw the required sympathy. It’s that simple.Okoro,read ur quote:(Love ur neighbour as ursef dts wot d Holy Bible says.)When Peter Obi was sending his fellow Igbos to their states of Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom in December, 2011.was this quote from d Bible not revealed then?d fact is Igbos have nothing good worthy of being envious of.
ReplyDeleteU̶̲̥̅̊ better face ur trading and keep shut bcos U̶̲̥̅̊ cnt win dis case.
FFK spoke the minds of more than 99% of us the Yorubas. The Igbos acquisitive tendencies are legendary. The likes of Ogunlewe the former Minister of Works wrote about his childhood years with his Igbo friends in Lagos merely for his selfish political reasons. I hope they have not bought his father's burial ground to erect a shop for their fake products. The more we accommodate them the more they insult us. For God's shake in 2013, Igbos writing to say that Yorubas are the dirtiest and lazy, indolent people in Nigeria!!! And they keep on begging everyday to rent our houses in this same Lagos? Enough is enough. The Fajuyis and the Banjos of Yoruba land lost their lives for the ungrateful ingrates. From the nonsense they keep on writing, they will make most of us hate them even when there are some decent, educated and nice people among them
ReplyDeleteAll these write ups from Yorubas or Igbos are not issues worthy to spend time on. The only bitter truth and clear point is that "THERE IS NOTHING LIKE NIGERIA!" We are deceiving ourselves. From the writeups, and the Boko Haram's deeds, it's clear that every one needs to answer his fathers name! Yes, i support Fani's Nationality question call.
ReplyDeleteShame to every Igbo man who owns factories and Properties in Lagos!
ReplyDeleteThe YORUBAs are really COWARDS. So it is now that FKK come out to say his "BITTER TRUTHS" that some of U are VOICING OUT. So all the ASSOCIATION with the IGBOs is mere PRETENSE? I PITY 4 timid MINDS. IGBOs, U guys shld IGNOR these COWARDS and continue to do Ur BUSINESS in LAGOS, PROSPER & take Ur WEALTH back home, while the FAINT HEARTED ones continue to "CRY OVER SPILLED MILK" Mumu COMMENTATORS!
ReplyDeleteif every states deport like lagos what will become nigeria.originally lagos is not owned by yoruba
ReplyDeleteIYALA MAN!

Lagos belongs to all Nigerians!
ReplyDeleteWho biult the national stadium, Eko bridge,3rd mainland bridge? Who buitlt Ikoyi Hotel, Federal Palace Hotel? The federal governement built and developed Lagos with the commonwealth of all nigerians.
Even if the Lagos State Governemnt built the these infractures they built with from the federal allocations based on the population of lagos. At least close to half the population of lagos is not youruba. And if LASG used taxes and other forms of internally generated revenue(IGR), that IGR came from nigerians not just yoruba.However you look at it, Lagos was a federal capital territory and belongs to all nigerians.
