suffersticated accommodators always talking about how they accommodate someone who lives a better life than them. You developed Lagos while leaving Ibadan, oshogbo, ado ekiti, akure and ogbomosho to rot away. I wonder what would happen if Gwaris wake up tomorrow and claim that they developed Abuja.
if there no coups by your tribes we would have taken development to the door steps of people but you cut all the development by a coup.we are accomadating and you cant allow people in your place like we do because of tribalism.

Lol only Lagos and abuja probably has more hotels in Nigeria than owerri, you don't know Igbo land I bet you never even crossed Benin ore road in your life before, at least educate yourself about igbos and not say things you don't know, there's lots of factories in nnewi aint called taiwan of Africa for nothing.
if you have so much factories then they dont pay duties for it to reflect in the national purse.

You guys make me laugh. You compare a human rights activist like Fela with a freedom fighter like Ojukwu who fought the military might of Nigeria for 3 years?
Fela who probably never held a gun in his life or heard the sound of mortar and bombs falling?

I think that the Yoruba idea of a brave man is rather low

Fela is well respected all over the world than any igbo man will ever be. Fela is dead but his music is still used and listen to all over the world even by mega stars like jay z and beyonce. FELA was brave enough to sing about the ills of the government and he never was afraid of being arrested. He was jailed and even when he gained freedom, he never stopped speaking against the govt. Your coward and greedy oju iku started a war and thought it was police and thief game. He led millions moronic ipods to their grave and fled to abidjan dressed like a woman. Is that what you daft moronic ipod miscreants call bravery? A sissy like oju iku. Your nnamdi kanu did excatly thesame thing but added 419 to his own. Are these the people you morons call brave in your sad beast? Kanu's disciples are lounging in kuje prison and you moronic coward ipods have abandoned them to their fate. So much bravery from chest beating moronic, cursed , hate filled ipod miscreants

the serious minded ones among you here are tailors, barbers etc and they are good at what they do. While Tayo that has refused to leave his parents house in Oshogbo will always find excuse for his laziness. How would a person that wants to sell or rent shop not do so if you bring the right price?

Joe Igbokwe says it raw!

"Did the Yoruba go to war when June 12 1993 Presidential Election won by their illustrious son Chief MKO Abiola was annulled on June 23rd 1993 on a sheet of paper by IBB?

Did Yoruba go to war when Abiola’s wife Alhaja Kudirat Abiola was murdered in Lagos in the morning of Jun 4 1996?

Did Yoruba go to war when the winner of that historic election was poisoned on July 7 1998?

Did Yoruba go to war when those who killed Abiola imposed Obasanjo on them as President in 1999?

Did Yoruba accept Chief Ernest Shonekan when IBB made him to head the interim government in 1993? Yoruba rejected OBJ and Shonekan because this unique race has never been slaves to public office and yet they have remained number one in Nigeria in almost everything. This is wisdom and strategic thinking at work.

Those of us who have lived in Yoruba land for years should not only learn how to wear Aso Ebi, eat Ewedu soup or dance Owambe, music.

We must have also learned other unique things from them like sharing property to both male and female children, religious tolerance, ethnic tolerance, transferring legacies from generation to generation. Do you know that APC National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s wife is a Christian? Do you know that former Governor Fashola’s wife is a Christian? We can learn a lot from Yoruba. Yoruba too can learn from Igbo in areas of thinking home, business enterprise, self-help, apprenticeship, etc.

A Yoruba woman, a Pastor Mrs. Eunice Olawale Elisha of the Redeemed Christian Church of God old NEPA Road Phase 4 Kubwa, Abuja was killed by unknown persons on Saturday morning of July 9, 2016, while preaching the gospel around 5.30am. I have followed the reactions on the internety and Yoruba do not behave like the Igbo. They have been speaking but not preaching hate. They have called for the culprits to be fished out, prosecuted and punished. If Mrs. Eunice Elisha had been an Igbo hell would have been let loose. There would have been abuses and abuses. But Yoruba are not Igbo. This is civilization. This is strategic thinking. I hope our people can learn from this. Civility is not a sign of weakness. He who fights and run away lives to fight another day.

When GEJ marginalized Yoruba in his cabinet for five years despite been the most vocal in an effort to make him president, Yorubas didn't threaten anybody, they didn't abuse anybody, they simply fought in a peaceful & civilized way to effect a change in 2015 using their PVC. Today the most active VP since the independence & most likely, the next president of Nigeria is Yoruba. Fashola heads 3 ministries & referred to as prime minister in some parlance, Kemi Adeosun heads finance, Fayemi heads mines etc. That's how to fight for relevance in multi faceted country like Nigeria & not taking up arm against everybody.

To have ears is not to listen, to listen is not to hear, to hear is not to understand, to understand is not to put to practice. I know that writing this may not get me many friends among the Igbo, but it always gets me the right ones"

Always using Lagos as example, what happened to ekiti, Ibadan or even abeokuta, Lagos having highest VAT is logical and maybe you forget igbos contribute to this, if this country breaks up that Igbo contribution will be gone, don't push your luck, you have ports, you have everything, please restructure I'm begging you

How do you expect cowards to react. Imagine after the killings of their leaders, they still remain quiet about everything, and the young old man is busy celebrating cowardice. After the North succeeded in killing their kinsman, MKO, and 20yrs after they pacified the dead man with the highest national award (GCON), and his foolish people are celebrating.

What did you moronic brave ipods do when kanu was arrested. What have you done to help the other two idiots in jail after kanu abandoned them and fled to ghana. What have you chest beating daft ipod animals done to avenge the death of your fellow daft ipod pigs wasted like animals. Your bravery ends on your useless FB page where you peddle all sorts of dirty lies and brag your useless lives away. It's really funny to hear ipods from the sad beast call anybody coward when they are indeed the definition of the word 'COWARD'
