Afonjas are very good at stealing other tribes properties.

No be only Cocoa money na Cocacola money.

How come Afonjas stopped making money from their cocoa all of a sudden? Is it bad to continue making money off such viable venture or are they saying cocoa is no longer being used around the world today??


Very thieving tribe. All they know is to reap where they did not sow.

70% of Afonja landlords today stole their properties from Igbos in 1967.
The Lagos State that Afonjas claim as their greatest achievement was the Federal capital developed by Abokis using Niger Delta and South East oil and palm oil money. Afonjas contributed nothing.


Mark my words, once Nigeria breaks up, Oduduwa Nation will be colonized by either Arewa or Biafra.
break up when? After rapture. Olodo. We are in it together stop dreaming you ain't going nowher.

Oga governor shut up ...it's well known that the eastern regional government as at that time spent millions of dollars prospecting oil

Infact the agreement nnpc use today was agreement between shell n eastern region government

Cocoa didn't found oil exploration alone
Cocao from cross River ( largest cocoa producers in Nigeria ) and abia/imo ...

rubber from bayelsa ,cross River ,akwa Ibom ,rivers , abia .....

Cashew nuts from Abia , Enugu , cross River

Palm oil from the whole eastern region ( akwa Ibom , ogoni , etche have the best oil )

These things made the eastern region fastest growing region in the world ...but some people allowed propaganda work on them and here we are
Oil exploration is a capital intensive activity if these economic activities generated so much money to fund the exploration of oil why are the other states not generating money from these sectors?

According to history and what we learnt in the school, Oil was first discovered in commercial quantity in Oloibiri. If you want to re-write history you can do.

This is irresponsible talk from a clown because of hatred and pomposity. This is a dangerous talk that can make the westerners impose themselves forever on Nigeria oilfields and nothing can anyone do about it

But he is right. I am yoruba and I know he is right. Nigeria's oil was not discovered with cocoa or Groundnut money as some say. Foreign companies were given right to prospect for Oil , they brought in thier capital and their equipment and if they found OiI, they took a cut. that has always been the formula for oil exploration especially in those days.

I know a lot of South South indigenes (Bendel of old) who would've been stacked illiterates if not for free education through cocoa proceeds.

Sometimes you people talk without reasoning, was Awolowo premier of Eastern Nigeria? Was he not premier of the west? Was it not regional govt that was prevalent as of that time? This is one of the major reason why history is essential at schools.

You guys are only crying because the Northerners steal it more than you. You're all thieves.

The northerners claim that dey used their money from groundnut to develop the oil in Niger Delta.

One of our security guys in PH who's from Jigawa state always argued with me. He said in Nigeria must be divided, that the oil in the ND should be divided too, because they used their money from groundnut to develop it.

Meanwhile this guy didn't even attend primary skl, so he's a stark illiterate. I asked him who told him that, he said that's what they taught them in the mosque

Anytime anyone from SS talk you bollocks from my region will quickly jumped on it and claimed it as your headache you suckers unity beggars I kept saying it SS is a nation to be and on their own so stop dive nosing like pigs to their affairs, allow them to talk stop being silly.

Moreso see how foolish, irresponsible and dead illiterate you are so all the houses in Lagos belong to igbo bro you are a fool and very shameless bollock.

Same way we claimed developed all the North. If the entire house in Lagos at that time belong to igbo then where is your family own pls give us the address the house your parent built in Lagos in that era?

Look I will forever stand on your damn neck despite I came from SE but will never succumb to that demonic hate Gene in most of you. Call me whatever bro your damn headache.

Let me educate you hate the SW or not you will ends up being the one to vacate their land las las because they never invited your hate infested disgusting human to their land.

This Nigeria that become difficult to separate today *It was our own Azikwe that betrayed Awo, Tafawa, Bello, Enahoro by going behind and struck out the *clause* signed with Queen during independence struggle that Nigeria can path way if they wish, *agreed sealed* but out of this same hate Gene the man called Zik went behind to removed the clause with no one knowledge**** go ask your parent to tell you the truth.

I blame the Yoruba for sometime keeping quiet for a a s s hole like you trying to bully them. They need to dig history and face fool like you.

Dude concerning the secession clause. I always advocate that we critically analyze things or apply critical reasoning. This blame of Zik is actually one of the anti igbo sentiments that so many people use to attack igbos. First of all the people that removed that clause were the british and not Zik. Ask me how before the delegates went for the Lancaster conference to discuss independence the British Colonial Office in London made it clear that the terms of reference for independence of Nigeria must state that all her colonial borders must be preserved and no secession of the individual units must be allowed, mind you the British were weary of the Russian and French influence in Africa especially the French colonies in West Africa, knowing that French intelligence dossier stated that it would suit French interests for Nigeria to break into smaller units because her size would pose a threat to her colonies in West Africa. Now if Bello, Tafawa Balewa, Awolowo and Enahoro voted in favor of seccession, how come only Zik over ruled them when majority would obviously carry the vote? How possible was it that Zik could do it? Do you see the lies here? Now let me tell you the proceeding of Lancaster house. Awolowo stood and made a presentation that we should include secession clause and also a parliamentary system of government. Now Zik spoke against it and argued that we should have a unitary system of government where federalism is entrenched similar to the US system of government. In response the British overruled against Awolowo and over ruled against Zik on the Federal system patterned from America in favor of the parliamentary system. So the problem with our generation is that we are not ready to critically analyze issues. Zik had his flaws and faults especially in the fact that he was playing one Nigeria while Awo and Bello were only after their regions and tribe, but these lies against Zik need to be exposed once and for all.

You may not like the comments quoted below.

Even well before Independence, any reasonable leader knows the Gold Mine, Brains and Education that brought Nigeria into Modern State originated in the WEST.

The Father of Modern Age country called Nigeria was Herbert Macaulay.

If you want to get informed, go for free Education in the West Nigeria.

If you want to become wealthy, go to Western Nigeria.

If you are looking for labourer jobs, mai-guard, boiboy, beggars and other jobs to make a living, you go to Western Region.

Even today, there is no other place to run to when you are persecuted in your regions than Western Region.

They will never let go Western Region. Pay attention to their one and only ambition to capture the WEST!
