The list is not complete without mkpokiti Umunze of Anambra state and Egwu udubonchi of Enugu state.

Lolz... flaathead nyamiri smellos, must you ALWAYS feel left behind, cheated and maginalized?! You brought ur myopic tribalism and shallow-mindedness up into this lovely thread again! Inferiority complex at it worst, now I know this is what u strive so hard to cover up by always trying to ridicule the Great Yorubas. What's igbo people's problem for crying out loud! In every hood, u folks hold shu-shu meeting like u r kind of endangered species. Indeed, u igbos r endangered, sad souls that can never understand why Yorubas are so much a happy and contented people. Even though we don't brag like u till u've forced us, all that you've ever dreamt of achieving and becoming the Yorubas have done and moved Millions of Light years far ahead of u senseless igbos. Envy go soon kill all of una. Thunder fire your whole generation.

Yorubas setting the pace for igbos since 6500BC. Some senseless chest-beating flat-heads Nyamiri dunces who deceitfully claim to be the wisest and most enterprising yet, Jim Ovie (an igbo man) rightly observed that igbos can't boast of having Great Inter-continental industrialists and Mega-Billionaires like Femi Otedola, Mike Adenuga, Mrs Alakija (The current richest Black Woman in the world, google it) and many more Yorubas. Even the North has the likes of Dangote etc... NO igbo is even among the first 5 richest in Nigerian let alone in the world! He also rightly observed in his popular article that their is no igbo man among the Mega Super-Rich Pastors, Versatile Politicians, Super wealthy Industrialists, Academic Icons, etc... what are igbos proud of self?!
