Don't insult the memory of Zik by putting him along with these charlatans. Zik is the greatest Nigerian in history. While the likes of awo and Balewa were playing ethnic ludo, Zik was philosophizing for African renaisance.
He is the father of Nigeria so to speak. You are Nigerian today because of Nnamdi Azikwe

If I write a piece on Zik, you will never forgive me. But ask yourself this question. Why did Zik abandoned Igbos during the Biafra war? Why did he lose presidential massively in 1979 and 1983 even lost in Igboland. Why was he abandoned by your kinsmen. Unlike you, I respect him just like I do Awolowo, Bello and Balewa. They have laid down their legacies, it is time for our generation to lay down on ours instead of whining on past and having a victim mindset

You should never take these empty and shallow chest beaters seriously because I don't, I just laugh and make fun of them.


Let me explain to you why you should never take them seriously even when they say their villages are the most developed places in Nigeria.



1. If you really are the most developed, it means you have great infrastructure, great commerce and economy with lots of jobs, rich states with large IGR and budgets.

2. Based on the above, the rest of Nigeria and less developed places from the SW to the North should not only be admiring you, they should also be trooping to your developed states for opportunities and survival.

3. ...but the opposite is the case, you and your past and present generations are the ones leaving your so called very developed places to look for opportunities and survival in the less developed SW and the North.

4. The question now is, where is the sense and logic in you leaving your so-called rich and developed environment to go suffer, sell gala an pure water, dirty spare parts and fake rubbish to poor and less developed people in the SW and the North?

5. Your so called developed states are the poorest with the smallest IGRs in Nigeria and your budgets are the lowest in Nigeria.

6. The closest thing to projects in your so called developed villages are everyday internet MOU signing and silly celebration of MOU on NL while other states are commissioning real projects everyday.


Based on the above reasons, there is absolutely no reason why you should take these empty and shallow chest beaters seriously, their so called development resides only in the empty and shallow chest they beat all over the place and never grounded in reality.


You just can not help but feel sorry for them.

sorry1:
Bros most of your kinsmen have come to the east and they could survive. A sheep can't can't survive where the lions thrive. Afonjas are lazy and can't survive in the east, simple.

Childish defence.That's always your last straw.Your land offers little opportunities for my kinsmen and even to your own people.I said even your own 'lions' are running to yorubaland.Maybe you are even somewhere in yorubaland.By the way,I don't know what you mean by 'afonja'(Can you clarify without sounding stupiid?).

You can't fault the analysis. It is factual and scholarly.

Why should we exclude Lagos? Aren't they part of the West? What about Ogun? Ibadan? Why are most of our ibo brothers running to the place they hate so much. Let's develop SE instead of developing other people's places for them. The truth hurts. SW have been performing better than SE for a while now. Fact.

Performing better in what way? And quit the shenanigans dude u aren't Igbo coz if u are and u do travel to ur village then am sure u wouldn't be making comments like this that reeks of crass ignorance . The last time I remember people are free to travel to anywhere their services are needed. Only ignorant people make statements like the one made above. Anybody with a half a brain should be aware that people are free to do business legitimately anywhere they want and as long as the country remains one Igbos can travel anywhere. If u r not happy go n chase dem let's see if u will be able to come here tomorrow n drop ur myopic comments mtchewwwww. Like there are no yorubas in other states doing business

Nwakaumu:
you dey mind yoruba's Lagos-ibadan express way junk journalism.telling us lie that yoruba were the only people in nigeria who felt white are not superior to them but in reality they are the first tribe who willingly allow white people to come and rule over them when british declared lagos british protectorate and appointed dosunmu as the new oba without resistance from yoruba.there are no anti-colonial movement in yoruba unlike what we have in igbo land as in Aro-British war. In fact yoruba were the first people to capitulate to foreign rule without putting up a fight,from dahomey women warriors to Arab Fulani conquest,Benin(Ado)domination of Eko and british colonialism.yoruba are used to servitude that's why they are afraid to be on their own,hence the hatred they show any time Biafra or Nnamdi kanu is mentioned.Yoruba history is one of servitude and subjugation,these lies are not selling, we are good students of history.so afonja stop distorting history.self-determination is not among yoruba's cultural values.

Superb analysis. Very factual and scholarly.

You're free to go to another man's land and claim it's no man's land right? The same people you call cowards and part of a zoo?? Ok.
Like I told the other guy, I'm not going to prove anything to anyone. If you believe I'm not igbo, I honestly could care less.

The Hero has gone to rest. Yoruba pls unite together and individual differences, obasanjo call you people to order, tinubu stop continent, fayoshe respect an elder, aregbesola stop living a tout live and copy from your past hero. Long live youruba, Long live osinbanjo, long live Buhari , Long live northerners, long live Nigeria.

i don't know whether it's a curse or a generational mutation amongst all your tribesmen to be deluded. There's nothing in the east yet the biggest market in the whole of west Africa is in the east? Any representations in sports, commerce, education, entertainment that was done based on merit must have atleast 50% east factor.

You boast of easterners coming to west because there's nothing in the east, this shows how deluded you are... We come to Lagos because there's opportunities in Lagos and few manpower. In the east the manpower equals the opportunities on ground.If You yorubas are as hardworking as their igbo counterparts, I put it to you that the influx of igbos in the southwest will be at it's bareless minimum...

lastly, afonja symbolizes betrayal and cowardice.

ODVanguard:


Why should I travel to your region of all places? The least populated region in the entire country, where even your own kinsmen have to be cajoled and begged to stay back and return home to come and invest?? Evidently your own people aren't buying all that propaganda you lots painstakingly spew on here about development coz as I speak they are on their way to the SW to seek economic sustenance.

There is little or no wealth opportunity in the south west. The only Igbo there are corporate and FG workers. Igbo live in millions in Lagos outside the south west and dominate it. From 1988 my village always holds a football tournament every xmas period and is competed for by the village development union branches all over Nigeria who could raise a football team. Kaduna branch won the first edition. We have had Kaduna Kano Jos Enugu Aba Ph Owerri and Lagos competing. We have never had Ibadan Abeokuta Akure etc registering for the competition.
Don't go on deluding your self with the notion that Igbo are flocking to the SW. Lagos is NOT SW.

u must be a fool..
When the Europeans u claimed were flooding africa, were they in africa to hawk gala or their sisters Here to do prostitution?
Ur foolishness is incomparable.
I sorry for u as yah names claimed it.

This one is more dumb than I thought... I guess the likes of emoney, psquare, orange drugs, capital oil are busy hawking gala to your cone head abi

I tell you again, yorubas are lazy that's why easterners flood the region to conquer, let the pain be intense to your heart, that's the soul purpose of this post because truth hurts.

On one hand, you guys say that you are active in commercial activities in the SW. On the other hand you say that you said there is little wealth opportunity in Sw. See the contradiction.
You are not as active, yet you started all that drama with the Deji of Akure.

May God bless you bro....... In every country or place, WEST is the most developed, peaceful.... Bleep haters

Yinmu. That's why three separate factions were dragging Eze Ndigbo title in Oyo not long ago, right? Abi the one where una eze ndigbo was flogged silly by the Deji of Akure for disrespecting the crown? If Lagos is not SW then pray tell where it's situated/located? Biafra? The way some of una dey reason at times sef. Smh.

Servitude?that word must have a different meaning to a bitter specimen like you.Look at it this way:your zik,against better judgment supported the fulanis and british in their quest for one nigeria.He even cajoled the fulanis not to secede.Does that not sound funny?six years down the line,his masters started killing his people.You fought a war in which you were vanquished and forcibly kept in Nigeria and since then you have always been used as a make-weight by other tribes in nigeria to gain power.even by the ijaws!How come?even your nnamdi kanu was vanquished.see him paying visits to everybody,even yorubas.The way he is going,he will mistakenly pay buhari a visit and dobale.So,my dear broda,who has been living a life of servitude,your people or theYorubas? Be honest to your self.

Lagos belongs to people of Awori from Ogun state which last I checked is a yoruba land. Stop propagating ignorance in the name of advertising your cerebral deficiencies.

The most sensible conclusion I can arrive at is that Awolowo made the most terrible mistake of leadership....he had nobody to succeed him (forget all the sweet talks).

That the reason they used to say leader are born and mot made. He cannt get another Awo .

How you choose to be intentionally blind to all the insults from the yorubas on this forum bits my imagination. So are you saying Igbos are supposed to take all the shits been thrown at dem here right? If you aren't biased den you should be making reference to both parties but ur partisanship is very much glaring.

laudate:


Oh, you are saying that you cannot make the same capital within your region, in order to 'repatriate' it to your towns? Just asking.

Why are the British Indians Americans Chinese here? Are they in Nigeria because they can't the same capital in their countries!
