ba7man: Do you truely belive 4 out of every 10 houses in Lagos belong to an Igbo man??

Its the lies their relatives tell them on how they've bought all the houses in Lagos back home in the east they come to spew online.

Even all those renting houses now own them according to their reasoning.

Mayor_of_Lagos:

Why do i even have to go into that with you? Actor is a relative term and world stage is a relative term.

On the world stage successful actors are acclaimed based on eurocentric and western values. I want my culture to promote and support Yoruba actors that project Yoruba culture to the world. Fela did not have the typical omoluabi lifestyle but he was an ambassador for Yoruba ethos and social accountability. He found place in Hollywood.
If Hubert Ogunde, Duro Ladipo and host of other Yoruba actors had directed their creativity to eurocentric drama and theater theyd be in Hollywood.

Ogunde was making movies in the 60s and 70s about occult topics that in 2000 were popularized in the Harry Porter series.

ba7man: How has that improved your current situation?

Mayor_of_Lagos:

Of course! In fact SE is yet to understand and relate taxation with cultural power. This is because you never had city states with tributaries and never had to exact taxation on any throne, domestic or foreign.

The culture of taxation in West dates back to the age of Yoruba Empires.

ifechez:

in our mix we have the likes of
Ibeto group ( just acquired eagle cement)

Innoson group

Krisoral group

Ekulo group

Orange drugs

Emzor pharmaceutical

Green life pharmaceutical

Juhel pharmaceutical

Slok group

Coscharis motors

Globe motors. etc

All in Lagos and paying taxes

ichidodo: Those who have glass houses shouldn't throw stones, especially if your name is Awolowo aka Awo-ole, Suicide-activist, rat-poison Emeritus,Mr Do-the-needful. Ojukwu ran and came back to face his demons but Awo-ole like a true Omoluabi with cowardice flowing via his veins opted to run away permanently not only from South West Nigeria but from this Life.I don't know if he wore Mama HIV Awolowo's brassiere when he did the needful

superstar1:

Lol.

Asa and Femi Kuti are not known and they are being invited for international concerts, nit african organised concerts. Another diarrhoeic incantation from omo y1bo.

you said she is not a singer and she will win grammy. Na wa for you and your reasoning faculty.

superstar1:

Ojukwu was very sound strategically and tactically that he sent 3mm of your people to their early graves.

Zik was sound strategically and tactically, that he was contesting in Lagos before he was shown the way to the east.

Yorubas are so gullible and they fought the Northern Oligarchy to a stand still and took power from them, rendered the country ungovernable for years, inflicted international sanctions on the country, made the country a pariah state in the committee of nations, sent a seating head of state to his grave -- all without a single shot.

I am sure your forefathers would have warned you,no matter how hot head you are, not to take on a man full of wisdom.

If they did not, it clearly shows the jungle living statement I said earlier on. History are handed down to us and tales are told through the mud houses of ours.

superstar1:

they should show us the developed nations of the world without strong culture of tax payment. When our forefathers were building towns, the best their own can come up with are hamlets. how do you expect them to understand taxation, royalties and tributaries payments,

superstar1:

all those you mentioned clearly shows yorubas are not lazy, they eat their sweat and they live within their means. Is that not better than the crimes you are known for all over the world?

the mud houses are the history of over 500years. you can never have that, because the best the brains of your fathers can come up with as at then is palm fronds. We cherish our houses because they are stories that cannot be bought with money, because they will always serve as reference point of humble beginings for many, and not the get rich instanta miracle of some flat heads.

superstar1:

if they are not paying tax, what right or justification do they have to accuse their thiefing governors. No wonders their states are the way thgey are. Onitsha and Aba are the replicas of hell on earth. Anybody that goes to hell after his death after staying in those cesspits called towns, we prefer the hell in heaven to those eyesores.

ichidodo: Yes and your Hausa Overlords killed your prominent elites and leaders example Awolowo, Dele Giwa,MKO Abiola,Kudirat Abiola,Pa Alfred Rewane,Funsho Williams etc and yet you still bend down to kiss their Assess, all for what?! A slice of what can never be yours until 2050

ngozievergreen:

these two cities are the reasons their states are involved in the cashless policy

superstar1:

Utter rubbish.

Have I dealt with you and mess with your brain so much, that you had to be typing gibberish.

He died at over 70. What else is he looking for. Even the bible let us know, our days are officially 70. He is resting peacefully in a beautiful mausoleum while Zik is wailing in a shallow grave even without a tomb.

Ndo omoy1bo

ngozievergreen:

which towns?
akure, Ibadan, osogbo, Abeokuta, adoekiti?
ur forefathers had low tastes.
Are these shanties the most developed in d south not to talk of Nigeria?
Was Lagos even developed by IGR alone?
smh

FreeGlobe:
Nonsense, you call yoruba reunion gatherings abroad concerts? Am talking Beyonce here man. And yes, Barack Obama is a Grammy Award winner. All it takes is to feature on a Grammy winning album

Ayekotoo:
An average yoruba is contended with whatever he or she got. They leave within their means. very rare to see yoruba girls into prostitution, they will rather be apprentice. They are called virtuous ladies.

ichidodo: You must be high sniffing Mama Hiv's bra.We are not contestin if he died ripe or unripe but if senility caught up with him whilst plannin a dumb and hilarious military putsch before being urged to commit Suicide.I still don't know if he wore Mama HIV Awolowo' s boubou.

Omo_Tier1:

It is a FACT that Edo state is more prosperous and is developing faster than your Anambra.

Show me one place in Anambra that looks like this:

superstar1:

We are still laffing. We broke their hegemony. Something your hot heads and flat heads can't achieve.

Yes it was a battle and of course their use be collateral damage
We are not whining about the heroes that we lost. It is better than losing 3mm women and children and not counting the men, stupidly.

The end justifies the means.

Now, they don't mess with us, the way they mess with you. They have put us in our own place of respect and whereas they are still pissing on you and your naive political class.

ichidodo: Collateral damage for what?! For a slice of bread (8 years of Obj's Misgovernance) is either you people are to scared to face your demons like Awo-ole thus justifying such gargantuan waste of political gems for nothing or just plain dumb.As for our 3m dead it was a risk and we are better for it as evidenced with our exponential growth in all facets of our National Life

superstar1:

Baseless ranting. Show the world with referenced documents to prove he was planning a coup. Another of the numerous lies from alaigbo.

You have ran out if ideas. Think more and remember the many lies your father's have told you and choose a better line of argument.

donphilopus: Below are pictures of Edo and Anambra!

This roundabout again?

Any similarity??

ichidodo: The smell from Mama HIV's Bra must be so strong for you to be bombed out of your mind that you seems to be lackin any cognition whatsoever if not you shoulda asked why he killed himself? (maybe you will ask of prove for the suicide)Was it because Mama HIV didn't add enough condiments in that Gbegiri ati Ewedu sh**t you call food on that sunny Afternoon or what? Pls enlighten us.

superstar1:

He is blowing grammar. Exponential gini?

if I said you are politically naive, you will be whining again, as usual. We gained presidency that you have not tasted and will never taste. It is an unwritten rule in this country, the same way, racism is an unwritten rule in US and Europe.

Yes we lost political titans but we gained political experience that cannot be bought with money. No wonder, you are still rigmaroling in your cesspits, begging for 5th Niger Bridge, Onitsha Port, Uli Airport.

The fact that we fought and took over Aso Rock sent a clear signal to the northerners. They will rather partner with us rather than hold us in disdain like they do to you.

superstar1:



So you have ran out of ideas and now coming to food. Ok let's go there.

Those food you mentioned are still better than.akpu and garri y1bo. The food that you will eat and be asking for.water -- yanmiri. No wonder.

ichidodo: Lol at Gained political relevance,It seems you guys bought it because now y'all irrelevant from the scheme of things, so who are the next tranche of political sacrificial victims, remember no yoruba blood no political relevance 'cept if MKO resurrects and dies again can a yeriba man govern Nigeria

ichidodo: Before we go there Pls can you enlighten us on the causative factor of Awo-ole's demise.Tenks

superstar1:

[s]We have always been political relevant. Go the shallow grave of Zik and ask him.

We choose our own path. We are always determine who wins. Ask GEJ why he ran to SW 2days to.the last election. We tilted the p election in his favour. That is political relevance. We are waiting for him in 2015. He still has the whole of 2014, to take the country on the right track.before we take our final decision whether for or against him.
That is the power of the block vote, that is lacking in SE and no wonder, you are and will always be the pawn in the scheme of.things.

We don't need mko to resurrects or Awo. The son of a lion is a always a lion. We lost MKO ans we gained many MKOs. They can only cause you more headaches and misery. The game is on, naive group of people.[s]

superstar1:

If the life expectancy in SE is up to 70, you should have cause to celebrate. How much more an achiever, an icon, a legal luminary, a leader, a warrior and a great grandfather that fulfilled the biblical doctrine of living inheritance for their children's children.

Pray that you should live upto his age. If you are still leaving in SE, I can bet it with you, the probability is less than zero. Thank God you are in festac, Lagos, SW, so you still have the chance to reach there, provided your republic of igbo land is not actualized before then.

Death visited an old man in his sleep, so what more. He is more honourable and celebrated in death than the collabo of achebe+ojukwu+zik. What more can we use to celebrate this man that is 1 in a million.

Yeeeparipa!! Death in his sleep?! Are you not ashamed of your lies,Old man like you,Abi you want me open your yansh live and direct
