The way things are going, it seems they fought and died in vain.

I am surprised you didnt add "before the oil wealth" like you did in that lagos thread. You are a veiled tribalist !!

@Op: Your papa!
See the fine pictures of Western Nigeria you posted, noticeably sub-par pictures of Eastern Nigeria, and ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS LONE picture of Northern Nigeria!!!
Pray, tell, what is your motive with this thread?!

this is interesting i think so.

Its obvious that dis op is a tribalist. Even from d pictures. I suspect its a handiwork of shymex or one of his Yoruba brother

Yoruba thread......................nansense upon ingredients..mtshewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Contribute your own pictures, no need to start e-fighting over nothing.

1 pound

What of isaac boro?

auwal87:

Maitama Sule is still alive

I guess what this OP's trying to say, is that he's dead politically.

The OP once opened a thread asking for which tribe had the most beautiful girls in Nigeria, so your guess is as good as mine.

Why read tribal meanings into everything Everything must be ethnically balanced? God help this country. Maybe the first picture must come from Abuja?

Who wrote that sign on the Northern picture? Abi them no sabi spell that time? Colonialists and blonders.

It is SARKIN PAWA not Serikin Pawa

We've improved but we can be better.

i see GREAT IFE "motion ground"

Who spoiled Nigeria?

Interesting!!!

I can't believe someone had to create another SN just to name drop my SN on a thread - which has nothing to do with me.

All hail the Biafra republic!!!

Ranks007: Who spoiled Nigeria?

From what I have read - IBB destroyed Nigeria!! You guys need to get that guy, and chop his head off!!

Not true, Yes Northerners started corruption help by okotie-obo but it was GOWON who commercialized corruption, the reason he didt want to leave office after 9 yrs in office

Tribal war here is sign of stupid mind honestlY! idiots
