MayorofLagos: A lie may travel for a thousand miles, but it takes just one step of truth to catch up with it. The voodoo story above can only exist in the phantasy world of brown roof inhabitants. It's no longer news that Yorubas thrive mainly on an atmosphere of lies, falsehood and propaganda. If the abysmal thinking of the op that assembled the garbage above holds any water why are the Yorubas most vocal against Biafra **** If at all Yoruba economy is better than the Igbo economy why are it's people worse hit by the dwindling crude oil prices [/color] If Yoruba economy was in any way superior to Igbo economy Ekiti State will not deem it wise to send its citizens to Aba in Abia State for vocational training, to equip them to be able to create wealth for themselves and improve the economy of the State just like Eastern region. If Yoruba economy was superior to that of Igbos why is hunger ravaging its people to the extent that concerned individuals from other parts of Nigeria had to come to their rescue, donating cash and food to ensure that they survive the economic crunch occasioned by low crude oil revenue? And through all this period there was no cause for alarm amongst the Igbos in Igboland. Not even in Abia State where the civil servants were being owed their salaries, courtesy of the State's strong informal sector unlike Osun State where the phantom internally generated revenue (IGR) was a lie of fabricated figures to massage the egos of Yoruba Kingdom. T.A Orji of Abia State was labelled as the worst governor in the last dispensation by Igbos on NL and even in the outside world. Nobody criticized TA Orji and his failure in Abia than Igbos. Yet mischievous Yorubas kept lying to themselves of the sterling performance of Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State who was as bad as T.A. Yoruba media propagandists churned out statistics of how Osun State has blossomed to being able to do without the free handouts from federal government (courtesy of the crude oil wealth from another man's backyard) and yet before one could say JACK the State became comatose and bankrupt. Of what good is the big size of Oyo State when Ebonyi State is more developed than it? For the myopic Yorubas with poor geography of a place they call their 'country' the smallest State in size in Igbo land is about 3 times the size of Lagos State. Find below the desperate attempts in the past by mischievous Yoruba voodooists to portray Yoruba economy as good: 1. "I don't need federal allocation to pay workers" - Rauf Aregbesola (ThisDay Newspaper, Nov 28, 2011) 2. Osun's Monthly IGR Jumps from N300million to N1.6billion in 3 years. 3. www.nairaland.com/2353607/osun-earned-n204-billion-four 4. www.nairaland.com/1439842/osun-state-gdp-higher-than 5. www.nairaland.com/1454198/ict-lifts-osuns-monthly-generated-revenue 6. www.nairaland.com/1311395/opon-imo-launched-osun-today 7. www.nairaland.com/1277864/osun-names-airport-after-abiola Yorubas accuse Igbos of being too smart in business and therefore should not be trusted. The implication is that they unconsciously accept the Igbos as having superior IQ and business sense. And when credible institutions publish the results of their studies showing Igbos as chart-toppers Yorubas begin to search for straws to hold onto to fault the research. You wonder why they become so rattled and agitated at such results. Business is all about smartness and no dullard or book-theory person can do better in a business than a person with native intelligence. Mental superiority makes you want to find your own space. Mentally dull people hate radical changes and want to just keep doing the same thing. There is a correlation between Igbo achievements and 21 billion dollars remittances back into Nigerian economy on yearly basis as evidenced by statistics from Western Union. A less backward or less enterprising group of treasury looters cannot achieve such feat. The Igbo youths are born into a society where they always have to think fast else they will be like Yorubas who live on free handouts from Abuja. Igbos always try as much as possible to excel in their various pursuits in life. Little wonder you see many Igbos competing on the world-stage. Without government connections and patronage, Wale Tinubu, Jimoh Ibrahim, Femi Otedola, Mike Adenuga etc. of Yoruba tribe will be nowhere today, and that's why every now and then you would hear them being linked with one financial crime or the other. Nigeria economy assumed a downward trend when the Yorubas and their Northern co-travellers acquired all Nigerian companies by virtue of indigenization decree of 1972. But they could not manage the companies instead they ruined, defrauded, liquidated, bankrupted and destroyed all the companies - that was the mother of destruction of Nigerian economy! The swindlers indeed bastardized the Nigerian economy. And to divert attention from their ineptitude and crass looting of the treasury Yorubas would use illogical reasoning to attempt to bamboozle other people while pointing accusing fingers elsewhere! After more than 40 years, despite the stolen wealth, the Yoruba land cannot be said to be transformed and be one of the enviest in the world. None of their cities could be likened to, say the least, Johannesburg! Inspite of the tortuous journey the Igbo man passed/passes through to achieve success the criminal system in place and the Yoruba gang will not allow the Igbo man be. Yorubas are bitter and angry at the success of the Igbos, that they use any given opportunity at their disposal to remind Igbos that they are the ones who accommodated them and therefore they should abide by their dictates, whims and caprices, including being coerced to vote the candidate of the host's choice in election. With all the disadvantages Igbos faced and still face after the 1967-70 they rose from grass to grace and Yorubas are not even ashamed to compare Igbos with treasury looters. 2 Likes |

MayorofLagos: Just to bust your bubble a bit: Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the current Emir of Kano, a Fulani, revealed the truth about the notorious liars and history distortionists by declaring, "YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA"? "In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude. The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention."... http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/ Copied: Another irrefutable evidence of the conspiracy against Igbos to justify their massacre in 1967. ... why would Ironsi threaten to arrest Major Kaduna Nzeogwu after he secured Lagos, if they had been co-conspirators? Why didn't Lt. Col O.Ojukwu (GOC Commander in Kano) not know about the coup, yet Mallam Hassan Katsina had to tell him about what was going on? It all just didn't add up. Nigerians with their short memories just felt it was convenient to blame Igbos for the 1966 coup because it was led by Nzeogwu and conveniently forgot all the other major actors who were non-igbo in the group. ........... In saner climes the great evils and injustices being perpetrated by the born-to-rule bigots and their Southern stooges can never be tolerated or cordoned; the whites can't tolerate such display of arrogance. Pray, tell, a country that is managing evils and injustices, and is still experiencing development? If for over 50 years of waiting and hoping for a better Nigeria have been fruitless with so many innocent people being sacrificed and still being sacrificed then it proved that the Nigerian project cannot work. Britain made a fundamental error to join strange bedfellows - ethnic nationalities who have different aspirations and irreconcilable value systems. Keeping quiet and docile and feigning ignorance of the grave situation in the polity is a greater evil itself. India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were once a country created by the same British. Knowing that they cannot stay put together because India is predominantly Hindu, Pakistan Muslim and Bangladesh was more or less poor, they had to seek their separate nations. The earlier the reality is dawned on the citizenry to do the needful the better for everyone. Many confused fellows main wish is for Nigeria to continue to manage staying put in a cesspit, for the sake of false unity of 'One Nigeria'. Some Southerners are still managing to stay in the North against their wish. Some are there to answer the national call, and have ended up getting swallowed up in the bloodshed and carnage of the day. Many Southern stooges believe the only way to allow our ethnic diferences work in Nigeria is to allow the Feudal Islamic Fulanis rape your women, kill your children, pillage your land, destroy your ecosystem, put an emirate on your land and then convert you to their murderous, blood-thirsty religion of Islam. Biafrans are the only ones who have resisted the Hausa-Fulanis and their Yoruba slaves (who have met the conditions for peace already by having Emir imposed on them in their land). Biafrans can never meet the Hausa-Fulanis conditions for One Nigeria, and Hausa-Fulanis do not desire a Nigeria free of injustice. There can't be peace with feudals wanting to rule over Republicans forever. One truth you must take note is that Biafrans do not make good slaves. The whites can bear you witness. 2 Likes 1 Share |

tsdarkside:exactly. But the igbos should rise above hate. Germany had a more bitter war but they come out of it and became the largest economy in Europe today. Igbos should do the same and stop playing victims all the time. |

Re: I Apologize For The Civil War by xtrory: 4:06pm On Jan 24, 2016 |
initiate: Cry me a river! That your folks are so unstable that they rarely stand for anything does not mean Igbos would follow suit. I know that you're too greedy and selfish to let go the crude oil wealth from another's backyard that you've enjoyed for many decades at the expense of others. But you're inconsequential to stop a raging tsunami. Self-determination is an inalienable right of a people. You're pained that the Igbos would come into Lagos and out-compete you to your shame and chagrin. And now your unbridled greed led you to sell off your father's lands to the ever industrious Igbos and becoming tenants. If you're sensible you should be concerned that your so-called 'suffersticated' tribe are so gullible as to have internationally acclaimed drug peddlers as national leaders. That a man like Tinubu who embezzled Lagos funds would call the shots and fleeceable Yorubas like you would still sheepishly prostrate before him and follow him and his rougish candidates blindly. Little wonder many of you rarely believe one can achieve success save by ritual-killings and cannibalism aside the armed robberies, incests and juju prevalent in Yorubaland. So much indeed for 'sufferstication'! |

Olabestonic001:. Apology accepted, but UNTIL the MAJOR and REAL ACTORS in the war REPENT and APOLOGIZE Nigeria is doomed. The blood of millions of Biafran children and pregnant women shed are a CURSE to this nation. This is a bitter truth. Though Gowon, Obasanjo, Danjuma, Babangida, Buhari and the rest are still going about pontificating and pretending that all is well, they all MUST apologize and take collective responsibility if Nigeria will ever receive mercy and healing from God. |
Re: I Apologize For The Civil War by Sctests: 11:25am On Feb 14, 2016 |
keally: Those old men are drawing close to their graves. When they die the agile youths in east will celebrate and keep pushing for their Biafra (if they've not gotten it yet). The oil factor that made them invade Biafra is losing it's value and becoming useless by the day. |
