@bolded. Whatever you've been smoking, madam pls, come off it! There's so much you don't know. Are you sure you're a Nigerian at all?

They didn't invest jack! They're all victims of their own misguidance. Their region is so messed up that it's become almost inhabitable for modern civilization. A haven and fortress for savagery. Their negative attitudes, divisibility, and arrogant nature have been the apex reason of their downfall.

Even in the most fairly contested election ever held in the history of this nation where MKO won the north and SW in a landslide, he lost in the SE. Simply because of their sentiments and hatred for Yorubas and anything Yoruba. They supported OBJ cuz they've got no choice as it was btw two Yorubas. They supported OBJ to spite the SW as, the SW supported Falae. They'll do anything to spite Yoruba pple. They opposed PMB simply cuz of Osinbajo, his Yoruba V.P.

The same Yorubas that give them accomodation and roofs upon their heads. No other tribes can successfully thrive in their own region. They're very un-accomodating to other tribes even their own Igbo pple if you're not from their states or localities.

I love progressive minded Igbos... Late Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu will always be my hero. I love him to death but, his pple messed up the 1966 coup due to unnecessary sentiments. That's story for another day. Guess who 'strategically' killed him? That coward, Ojukwu!

Of course, not all of them are bad. Majority of the educated ones are great. I've got several Igbo friends and, trust me they sometimes regret their heritage.

No sir/ma.
Let me tell u what happened yesterday in Methodist Church, Abuja.
It was independence celebration so different tribes represented by singing and dancing to the altar in their various native songs.
From the Yorubas to the hausas, to the south south etc there was no issue.
When it was the turn of igbos, guess what happened?
There was issue with choice of song such that when a song was chosen, a faction will disapprove.
Let me state here without exaggerating that it was after about 5,6 or 7 songs( certainly more than 4) that the igbos agreed on a song.
We non ibos were so perplexed and slightly annoyed cos time was far spent and we needed to leave so that the 10 am service to commence.
Not to sound so stereotypical but was a pointer to disunity.

Another Trash...

Do you actually move around with this manner of hate and bile in your head? I don't have any advice for you Mr. but hatred of the mind is a poverty mentality that leads empty pockets....

MKO actually won in Anambra and got ober 45 percent votes in other SE states despite an Ogbonna Onu "their Son" being the running mate of Tofa....stop misleading people
Now this is not counting the igbo votes across the federation. My parents voted MKO and many of my relatives then


Now to why MKO won in the north...the facts are already out!

It was a deliberate move by the power brokers to counter IBBs boy Tofa from succeeding IBB.

The opposing northern anti-IBB forces wanted "MKO to win" so that the northern consesus of not giving power to the south will override that southern victory and that way they will have done away with both IBB and a southern presidency in one fell swoop. And they got it. Put in a front yoruba ING president to calm the polity only to kick him out through Abacha.


Politically Notherners got no love for any southerner so stop fooling yourself.

what do you mean his people's conducts don't justify his legacy blah blah blah. Just pay your respects and move on.
Mind you the Igbos have always been the number one supporters of our people. They have invested heavily in our lands, supported our political ambitions in 2003, never fought us and have always stood for positive change in Nigeria.
I don't know where you base but when you come abroad and accept help from an Igbo in your trial period, then you will know just how stupid your bigotry here is.

Well, since you need to be lectured, I don't mind doing some.

Hardworks from this context is utilized as a noun NOT as a verb.

As a result, it can be pluralistic in nature. cool

Let's just say the ones over there have been refined and westernized. The Igbos back home are nothing but criminal-minded empty chest beaters.




Yhu see, we have problem with unenlightened mind like yhu.

Honestly, only a fool like yhu will make statements such as these.


I have been betrayed and defrauded more by some Yorubas yet I will never come to say Yorubas are fraudsters or whatever.

I still live and do business with the Yorubas and I have enjoyed so much loyalties and everything good from them than I have from my own people.

Yhu idiots should travel and be enlightened than sit yhur ass down somewhere and making silly comments. Stop all these fallacies.


Stop generalising. Don't be so slow.
