SIRmanjar:watch what you say lest you be in danger of blasphemy. God has given us everything any sensible human needs to survive... From oil to many raw materials and those that are mined. What else do we need? Don't even bring God into this at all cos our selfish and this so called legends are the cause of our problems. Why fight for independence when you know you'd take your life half way in the bid to make your own people respect and see what you've done? These ain't legends. We the young lads should just forget they existed and look for a better means of cleaning the mess they got us in in the first place. If secession is the last resort then let's all divide and go our separate ways... This forced love and fanned fire that never did well play is becoming too unbearable for everyone, except for those living in luxury. This is my personal opinion! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Majesticniyi: He is far better than his peers in terms of reproduction of leaders. I am not aware of any eastern or northern politician been compared to Zik or Bello or being seen as attempting to fill their shoe. Many politicians still garner support today by showing affiliation Awolowo ideals. True federalism, restructuring, power devolution are ideas espoused by Awolowo and today chanted by those who found themselves in emergency opposition. ZIK idea of unitary government has proven a monumental failure and no reasonable politician today is making calls for that system 13 Likes |

Lest lies become passed as the truth, cumulatively over the past 15 years 2001-2016, SE and not the SW still leads in the JAMB enrollment figures, I had since done justice to that thread of falsehood, till now, the Yorubas are yet to provide rebuttal to my analysis of the JAMB stats.you can see my post on that here https://www.nairaland.com/3709501/see-jamb-applications-geopolitical-regions/12 Euromonitor statistics was about consumer expenditure of cities in Africa and not about city development, the resilent City challenge stat is a better measurement of city over all development and livability and Enugu was the first Nigerian city to make the cut in 2014,http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/12/enugu-makes-history-joins-worlds-100-resilient-cities/ Lagos was only able to make the list 2years later and no other Nigerian city made the list. I had also done justice to this Euromonitor stat ish here : https://www.nairaland.com/3294626/abuja-ibadan-port-harcourt-make-euromonitor/5 On the vibrancy of the economy, we just need to follow the money trail, and if we do that, SE beats SW once again. https://www.nairaland.com/3088004/southeast-one-richest-region-after This thread does justice to what the Eastern cities, towns and villages look like :https://www.nairaland.com/2576371/eastern-neighbourhoods-streets-made Just setting things straight. 6 Likes 1 Share |

We keep the eastern economies and south south economies to ourselves ...We keep the money at home and at the same time repatriation of overseas based ones ...To ensure business continuity and spread the over sea wealth...We just simply go back pick our kinsmen and teach him the business all these going on while you are doing great owambe and eating amala or asking for owo mi da This is the same thing Chinese do...And that's why Igbo cities are cool today.

It is pointless, let's bring the business to you.

(2) He owned Shonibare Estate but the man he was using as a front and who later went to prison over some issues which Awolowo himself was privy to eventually laid claim to the estate. “He got all of this wealth due to a great measure of goodwill and tax waivers he gave to investors whenever they come to establish their business. (3) Anytime you buy a bottle of Coca-Cola you are enriching the Awolowo Dynasty, (4) Go to Ijebu Ikenne and you will discover that the price of bag cement there is different from other parts of the nation due to the subsidy that the citizens enjoy on account of Awolowo who was their son and I hope you know that West African Portland Cement is in Ewekoro and not Ikenne.

ariesbull: Hehehehe...you lot like deceiving yourselves sha. The Chinese you mentioned, have you visited their country? Their cities are some of the most developed in the world, with great infrastructure & technically skilled people. Same goes for several Asian countries like Singapore, Indonesia etc. They do not go to other countries to denigrate their hosts, or claim a non-existent prowess or flaunt a superiority that they do not possess, which your guys are fond of doing. Those Chinese and Asians do not seek salvation or economic prosperity elsewhere, without developing their own communities first. Unlike your kinsmen. As for that claim you made about being "still the most educated....So the skilled jobs in your place we take some slice off it and still have our jobs back home to ourselves." I had to laugh out loud. Did you conduct a survey before you arrived at this conclusion? If you have taken the skilled jobs at home and elsewhere, why do your people still cry about marginalisation? 10 Likes 1 Share |

ariesbull: You and this your propaganda that cannot be substantiated. Una no dey tire? What was the volume of shares Awolowo bought in each of those companies you listed here? Oya, publish the details sharp-sharp! When foreign companies decide to invest in a country, the govt is free to give tax breaks and incentives to help them establish their businesses locally, due to the fact that their operations will generate employment and income for its citizens. Awolowo must have provided those incentives, as part of his functions as Premier of the old Western region. Even MTN was given a 10-year tax holiday due to its pioneer status, when it decided to set up operations in Nigeria. All the companies quoted there are PLCs (i.e. Public Liability Companies or Public Limited Companies). Their stocks are freely traded on the Nigerian Stock Exchange and citizens from all walks of life, freely buy and sell their shares on a daily basis. Among their share holders are Efik, Kanuri, Ibibio, Yoruba, Bura, Itsekiri, Igala, Hausa, Ebira, Tiv, Mumuye, Bachama, Nupe, Igbo etc. people from the length and breadth of Nigeria. If a publicly quoted company makes profit, all its shareholders are paid dividends including the Igbo ones. If they lose money, all the shareholders also lose money, including the Igbo ones. Now, if its true that Awolowo owned shares in those companies you listed.... in your own view, you believe Awolowo committed a crime by buying shares in publicly quoted companies, and earning returns from his shares? How ridiculous can you get? Every Nigerian at home and abroad, is free to buy shares in any Plc company of their choice! So why belittle Awolowo for doing something that every other citizen has the legal right to do? Ok, please try not to feel pained by the fact that Awolowo was rich in intellect, funds and material things while he was alive. It only shows that he was an astute manager of men and resources. 6 Likes |
