The last time I visited, I was duped by your brothers that sold half sand, half Zinc to me as complete Zinc (Zn) making me to loose a lot of money. You don't need to tell me what the place looks like cos am perfectly aware.

I don't hate the igbos, on the contrary I have a quite number of fantastic ones (as business partners. Even met some in the North) but the bulk of others are blind to see the truth or maybe they can see but can't comprehend.


Lmfao. Thieves full Nigeria n u were unintelligent n that was why they duped u.

Now I see SW are the people who always see d truth. SWste.

The Igbos were making great strides in education back then....covering up the gap between them and the SW.

(And if you mist recall....the first Nigerian VC of the University of Ibadan was.........an Igbo man. .Prof Kenneth Dike.).

And I am not Ibo by the way....or Yoruba.
Right. The man was made VC by Mr Zik of Africa (the "Pan Africanist" ) and all of a sudden out of 112 members of staff, 109 were Igbo imported straight from Igbo heartland while 3 were Yoruba. Is that what you referred to as "making great strides...covering up the gap..."?

Lie? Why would I lie? Impress who? I'm simply stating facts, it's not my fault that you appear to be ignorant about the country you live in. Or should I say claim to live in... since you were so quick to assume I would lie about a trivial thing - my location.

Colonial rule was absolutely rubbish.

My father showed my an area in Onikolobo in Abeokuta in 1951. Jeez. I wonder what the rulers were doing then. Were they ruling the entire country or just picked one or two places to develop and live in?

The really finished us.

Your grasp of written English is terrible, are you sure you're in London* and not small London in Abbriba (I can't spell that place to save my life)? You appear not to know the London Underground, National Rail or the Metro newspaper. You seem to think that London is the only city in England. You really need to expand your horizon sweety, stop hanging out with mandem and live a little.

*Although, I've come across a few English people with a terrible grasp of both written & spoken English...

Now you are behaving like a typical ibo boy. I bet you simply don't understand the word "trust". Good businesses are built on trust while bad ones on deceit. The same product is available in Ekiti, Niger, Nasarawa, Jos etc and I have been buying from the options.

Your brothers are foolish enough to bank on one transaction (short run) to milk me while they can make million folds in the long run.

Now you see why the SE will remain in the shadow of the west considering the fact that they bank on people like you as their future.

A case of when the supposed smartest became the dullest.

It's a shame you think so lowly of yourself. For the umpteenth time London is not the only city in England. You don't even appear to know the name of any other county in England. When did I claim I was looking for a man? You really are narrow minded and rather thick. Now you're asking me for a bus to Peckham, when did I become a Transport for London representative? You better go to tfl.gov.uk website and use the Journey Planner.

Anywho, it was an absolute pleasure "talking" to you, maybe you'll relocate from London or wherever you might actually reside and learn more about England. Maybe you'll even learn the difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom. Goodnight and good luck, I'll no longer derail this thread by responding to you.

Lmao, sai Methuselah.

igbos have been in business long before the Yoruba n igbos rule the commerce industry in Nigeria. If we are all thieves, how come our businesses are still everywhere around the world.

Ur talk about igbos being a shadow of SW is sooo laughable, normal SWaste chest beating.

I know SW wella, only Akure n portions of Lagos developed, other places look like nsukka.

We beat u in all things, education, business, n all what not. deal wit it.

As for ur age stuff, forget it bro, don't go there.

Finally, don't source for baseless businesses to buy from n also learn ur trade properly . its a shame u can't identify the zinc ur looking for..

More like most people back then did not have cars.

Road construction increased when the number of cars on the road went up. Simples.

(Nigeria did have a good railway system back then!)

I agree. What I was alluding to was the fact that there were no settlements at all there. Seems unlikely.
