StOla:
I thought those Palestinians said it is a city?

How dare Forbes call it a small town?

I ordinarily hear them say Anambra has 3 cities of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi, as opposed to 3 small towns.

StOla:


Only a propagandists will worry about being ridiculed by facts.

So why the need by Igbos who suffer from inferiority to falsely claim it is a city all along?

Are they backward negros for making false claims to a city when they could have their town equipped with all that is necessary and still be contented with the description of "town"?

Thanks to Forbes for not calling a butterfly a bird.

NaijaEfcc:

Nnewi, with a little over two million residents, is a 30-minute drive from the Onitsha – the biggest outdoor market in West Africa – on the banks of the Niger River.

StOla:
Don't worry, I don't need to claim what is already mine.

But the same federal government makes so much money from Lagos.

Like all other states, Lagos state got federal allocations to use for its own good.

Has Lagos State collapsed since the capital moved to Abuja?

Capital or not, oil money or not, Lagos was favoured by nature to be great, so the greatness before oil will continue even after oil.

And nobody has denied that Lagos/Eko and not Lagos State was a satellite kingdom of the Benin Empire. But the native inhabitants have and will always be Yoruba.

That same Lagos/Eko is less than 15% of the present size of Lagos State created from the Western Region in 1967.

This is the foundation for the article. Everything here is embellished and spawn in falsehood.

The first Nigerian billiionaire was a shipping magnate by name Henry Fajemirokun. The first to own RollsRoyce was Kano Emirate, followed by Fajemirokun. Sir Ojukwu never had a Rolls.

Odingo1:

Every Yoruba person is from Lagos,always claiming to be from lagos that was build by FG with Niger delta oil money,una no get shame,meanwhile Oba lagos said that lagos is not owned by yorubas but Binis.

laudate:

I made reference to the person who wrote that piece for Forbes. It was written by Eromo Egbejule, an Igbo guy. Nobody said anything about Forbes being an Igbo media. Am sorry to say this, but you are an ignoramus! Do you now want to lay claim to Forbes too, in the same way your people have been laying claims to Lagos?

obiezed:

You have confirmed your retardedness,so EROMO Egbejule is an Igbo name,well done there.

laudate:

Oh, is it a Kanuri name? Or a Yoruba name? Or an Igala name? What does Egbejule sound like to you?

stanluiz:
afonja keep on ranting and wailing have you eat eaten your toilet soup ewedu today?

laudate:


That Forbes article was not well researched in my humble opinion. What was all that story about using Ojukwu's Rolls Royce to chauffeur the Queen around during her visit?


No, in this case the Igbo writer of that article in Forbes made a blunder, by rushing to press without crosschecking the facts of his story.

IgboticGirl:
u are so pained by this news ...and i love it

laudate:

Oh, is it a Kanuri name? Or a Yoruba name? Or an Igala name? What does Egbejule sound like to you?

Amarabae:
Igbo writer?
Gosh what kind of hate filled bitots am I dealing with?
Forbes wrote that,
deal with it.
And btw Oromo Egbejule are NOT IGBO NAMES.

laudate:


Forbes is a magazine. It does not research, and produce content by itself. Its' stories are supplied by writers from different parts of the world. In this case, the particular story under reference was written by Eromo Egbejule, (who is an ex-writer for The Guardian Newspaper in Lagos) and published in the magazine called Forbes. Deal with it. Or is that too difficult for you to understand?

louqas:
False News
ijebu has more billionaires than any other town in Nigeria.

Proudly yoruba

mofewilkie:
But Sir Louis Ojukwu actually had a rolls royce, and the queen used it... in addition, Dele only started his private business in 1955, 3 years after the queen (1952) rode in Sir Ojukwu's rolls royce. Meaning that Ojukwu who was about 20 years older than Fajemirokun was already wealthy before Fajemirokun started business.

We are so blinded by ethnicity and tribalism, that we use every little opportunity to pull eachother down.
May God save us.

Rapture4real:
Is Evans not from Nnewi?

zidek:
I dnt trust igbos money, igbo are most dubious people to work with, they can kill their mother for money, can peddled drugs, high way and bank Robbery, i Prayed to be real Money!

Amarabae:
answer me and don't divert the topic.
Is Eromo Egbejule an Igbo name? Yes or No.
Your Painment is an entertainment in this thread.
Forbes is a worldwide respect and well read Organisation,
It is more acceptable and chosen than your ibadan media.
So cry me a river.
The era you people controlled Nigeria media is gone.
Your propagandas are being bursted left and right.

Afonja the "rewriter" of history I sight you.

laudate:

Madam, if Egbejule is not an Igbo name, then kindly tell us what part of Nigeria bears that name. Is it an Efik name or an Igala name or a Kanuri name? Forbes relies on writers to supply it with stories. Or does Forbes manufacture stories from thin air? Are there robots who insert those stories inside Forbes? There are no lies or propaganda anywhere. Such traits are the stock in trade of your people.

Madam, if you must argue, please do so like an educated person and not an ignorant one. Even a primary school pupil, knows that newspapers and magazines rely on journalists to supply them with stories. The argument is not about whether Forbes published it or not, but who wrote the story. The fact that you are spewing insults left and right shows how pained you are. Try to get over it. Thanks.

allrightsir:

you people are just a bunch of retards:
The only sites you have that claim it is Ojukwu's car are Nigerian sites with no picture written by Ibos where anyone can say what he wants
I have given you two Non-Nigerian sites specializing in classic cars that state the provenance of this car from the chassis no to the original owner to the registration no to pictures and you continue to argue
i have even shown you pictures of the car to prove this car still exists but no you continue to argue and hurl insults.
You people should realise that a lot of thing you hold dear as a tribe are actually myths!!
