Dumaknesset:It does,you can't be counting on freed slaves as native Yorubas while you ignor our own freed slaves like Olauda Equiano and numerous others. Mbanefo was born and bred Igboman likewise Akanu Ibiam. 2 Likes 1 Share |

ariesbull: He was born in Sierra Leone to an ijesha father, his elder brother is Oguntola Sapara, fact that the man decided to use Williams does not change is nativity. Sapara is the father's name.If your analogy does not apply to Louis Mbanefo for bearing a Louis it should fail for Sapara Williams. Last time I checked Louis is not an Ibo name. Take away Sapara Williams next ten after him will still be yoruba. 5 Likes |

Dumaknesset:Does that take away his nativity as you claimed earlier?Give us local Yorubas who were not freed slaves,those freed slave can even be Igbo or from any other ethnic group. Btw there was nothing like Nigeria in 1800s. 1 Like |

paramakina202: Point of correction Sapara Williams was not a slave and there is no way you can get a formal British education without travelling out of Nigeria. Slaves cannot be called to the English bar. Where did Mbanefo study? Aba ! shey? Nuff said. 4 Likes |

Nathaniel King assisted Ajayi Crowther in the interpretation of English Language to Yoruba, same Ajayi that gave Ibo it's primer to be able to read and write Ibo language. Same people now have the temerity to say ish about their teachers. Yoruba are intergalactic miles ahead of Ibo, it is a cold hard fact. 5 Likes 1 Share |

loopmongoat: This argument is plain silly. Your people migrate to Lagos everyday which for all the arguments spewed above remains a South Western state. Y'all could just stay back and prove that your impact would be missed by developing your second rated cities. If Lagos is so "ownerless" just cut it from the map and place it next to Ebonyi State. Nonsense arguments on both parts. Imagine having to travel long hours by bus to develop a "no man's land" 7 Likes 1 Share |
