Look call me what ever you like but the fact is there and you can not change it. Even till today diamond bank and nollywood still exhibit tribalism towards the yorubas on a daily bases even though they have bases in lagos, ogun and other states.

There is no going back to the topic because to brought the issue up.

Even your ojukwu said "he would should have been the president" Now which person would want a tribal leader to be the president ? not to talk of Ojukwu the Biafran default president and warlord.

Or the tribalism exhibited by Igbos on the edo and delta people is not enough. TILL TODAY EDO AND DELTA PEOPLE ARE GRATEFUL TO AWOLOWO. From western Ijaw, itsekiri, urhobo, bini etc you name it this groups loved awolowo. Now tell me a group in the east that loved Ojukwu or Nnamdi, since awolowo brought tribalism.



The only people hating Awolowo are the Igbos born out of hate and jealousy

Maybe you can explain this

Before we knew it, Biafran troops were in Benin City and en-route to Lagos. The Republic of Benin was created and it subsequently became the shortest Republic that ever was. Before we knew it, all our Igbo friends and neighbors started saying “Kedu” to us. When you turn around to look at him in surprise, he would say, “Ah, unah, you never begin learn? Na wa. I’m sorry oh.” The big question was: Learn what? Do you mean Igbo is becoming the lingua-franca in “Benin Republic?” Biafran troops were in control and from all practical purposes, the people were being intimidated, etc. Basically, Benin Republic was functionally a colony of Biafra.

South.East:

0 of 5 SE states is listed as critical (highly, highly unhealthy)
2 of 6 SW states are listed as critical (Ekiti, land of paper professors and Osun, land of rascals)

Who is worse off?

I dey laugh oh! And am doing so in Aregbesola language

The governors of the 36 states will today meet to consider a report that listed 16 states as “bankrupt”, nine “unhealthy”, six “critical” and five “distressed” as a result of the implementation of the minimum wage which commenced August 2011.

South.East:

I told them not to prance about with some phoney GDP figures based solely on fed allocation.

mens dept:

Every part of the country, and ALL the institutions are a failure. To fly abroad na Oyibo airline you go use. To play Nations Cup, na foreign based 3rd stringers you dey play, to collect university transcipt na N 25,000 naira you go use bribe, to build national assembly, na German contractors you go take, for medical checkup, na Arabia abi England doctors you go pay in their currency. For church or Mosque, copy copy fake pastors wey watch American Gospel channels you dey give tides. To marry, aristo chicks wey punan.i beaten up plenty for n200 phone credit dey line up and demand heavy bride price. Every state, every Nigg.a-Area tribe

Shame

South.East:

I understand that Nigeria as a whole is a poor country, albeit self-induced poverty.
But let's do some basic math here
3 of 5 SE states are healthy (by Nigerian standards)
2 of 6 SW states are healthy by the same standards
Not even considering that one-half of Lagos is essentially Igbo?

Who is better off?

Ethnic cleaning can be defined as the act of killing a group of people no matter how small based on their ethnic group, skin colour etc.

Genocide is what u meant to say

Anyone whose state is mentioned as critical cannot agree therefore calling Nigeria a failed state. From 1960 Nigeria has been failng. Let no one pretend that it started today. IMO is my state.My state did not fail. Your state can be a failure. Like freecocoa who hails from Ekiti! I can read bitterness from you.
