Balkan: My people, you don't have a need to join issues with these Yorobbers. The fear of an Ibo man is the begining of wisdom.

With £20 of thief Awo's policies we have bounced back stronger. The Ibos own most of the choice properties in Lagos and still counting all over Lagos state buying their properties and sending them to Ofada, Ikorodu, Badagary. God has given us Lagos and very soon all yorobbers will be tanants to Ibos in Lagos.

You can't stop a moving train brother. Lagos will be fully owned by Ibos in the next few years. There is nothing you guys can do about it. They war will soon begin and you will be sent to Benin Rep.

You can only be jealous and nothing you can do about it.


If the highlighted were true you wouldn't whine about how Lagos landlords are not renting houses to you igboids.

And believe me from now on its going to be even more difficult for you.

That was then, who is begging yoruba landlords when the igbo people increased their buying spree of lagos in the last 5 years, by the next 10 years yoruba people will be crying that igbo people are refusing to rent houses to them

abouzaid: @prof corruption, so after seizing foreign owned companies at undervalued costs, u still expect foreign investments to flood into nigeria? Awo was d reason this country never got industrialized. And it seems many choose to forget this on tribal grounds

Truth cannot be hidden in this internet age. The European and Asian owners of those companies wept and left the shores of Nigeria.The yorubas that bought those companies,celebrated with new kind of parties later termed OWAMBE party.

European government vowed to sabourtage the industrialization of Nigeria because of that Awolowo's narrow minded machination.That's the reason for the past 40yrs ,Nigeria has no real steel company-Ajaokuta and the rest are more or less white Elephants. No single pharmaceutical raw material is produced in this country today.All Nigeria does in all its industries is packaging.At most mixing.

That is the gift of yoruba tribalistic wisdom.

Why are you wasting your time on a certified fool?

Are we not living in Nigeria again? Hausa Fulani has shown times without number that if you don't dominate the politics, you don't dominate anything.
Nonsense! It takes just a policy to reverse anything. We used policy to defeat them on the war front how much more when there is no raging war.


Fasola has even started deporting some of them. spoils of war, take heart.

you people should always attach a disclaimer to anything IBB says.its a reason he's called maradona. How many times have you seen him being quoted... but you know how desperate Yoruba vultures are for legitimacy. they will always put their paws on anything that will give them a feeling of legitimacy.

thrash, why dont you ask why iduagbon was very powerful during buhari yet he was not the head of state, or mustafa during abacha... you stone aged people find any excuse to continue your idiocy of overrating a fraud, felon, mass and self muderer Awolowo Awolole
A much younger Gowon was just using him and others to fight a war and the fool awo was graciously working with gowon cornily hoping to become president. when the time came, gowon dropped him so hard like the overload he is.

Then GOWON and GOWON alone should take responsibilities for tha War .
Awo was just a minister, not even a Military officers like OBJ.
I have noticed that it is easy for you Ibos to confront the Yorubas than the Hausa/Fulanis.

alexola20: Pa Awo.The greatest Nigerian ever lived.It will be only in Igbo dreams to have a man like Awo.
Even the respected ojuku sef ran away and left his pple behind.But asebe no go see am like a wrong thing because he was and still a secesionist which make him still bitter cos he would have contested for presidency had it been biafra succeeded.And it's bitter because he'd never be a relevant person in Nigeria apart from being a lilliputian writer.
shame on asebe!Sorry asebe Pa Awon killled ur selfish dream.

RIPP Pa Awo.We love you forever.

if awolowo was the highest yoruba can offer, they aint gat nattin!
the sh1thead was a betrayer and political turn coat. Maybe all yoruba are like him

We are accommodating to a fault. can they try the nonsense they are doing in Lagos even on the outskirts of Kano?
We are loving, peaceful, tolerant and reasonable. We don't foment trouble and play victim afterwards.
We are gentle , unassuming and equally strategic when it matters most.
We are not perfect but continues to work towards perfection each and everyday.

The world has a lot to learn from us. We show the way for others to follow.

lagos became what it is because of commerce and access to the sea when there was very little air transportation and the port was used by the colonilists to shift everything in and out. after independence and with increased local business, the igbo came in and sustained the tempo while the average yoruba lazy azz was busy romancing fat buttocks of women

A man that could not remember when he graduated from high school led a country for eight years! The same remember the target to shoot during the Biafran war, he did not choose to run from war front. The same man was endorsed for presidency by your clueless leader Ojukwu! Who is stark blind here?

Because they know Hausa do not take nonsense, they just bring out their suya knife. Game over.
But Yorubas are the tolerant Christian. Abuse them insult them and they will continue to smile and still feed them. Because we are highly cultured - thanks to people like Papa Awo.
