Mkpi, listen.
Buying and selling in yoruba land are controlled by the Igbos.

Salary jobs in Yoruba land are shared between them and Igbos.

All the major markets in yoruba land are massively dominated by the Igbos.

Yorubas are even tenants to Igbos even in Yoruba land.

The biggest mkt in west Africa is in Igbo land and 95% shops there belongs to Igbos.

If you open any business in Yoruba dominatrd area, that business will die a natural death.



lol
Rants of a chewing stick hawker.
What is being discussed here is more than you,sir.
Even Alabukun invented in 1918 still exists going as far as Europe.

Iroyin Yoruba,the first newspaper set up more than 150 years ago in Abeokuta, Nigeria,so also is Tribune,the first English language newspaper.

Wema bank that was even started in 1945 still kicking and so on.

Odua group and the group set up by SE region were competing even if they could not meet up with the hardworking Yorubas,but they still crawled until they killed it with laziness and incompetence.
Odua group is still kicking.
The list goes on and on.

For longetivity and growth,Yorubas dominate Airpeace.
Onyema is wiser than you lazy bones.
He desires growth just like Dangote that made a Yoruba man the MD.

Yorubas are tested,trusted and guaranteed.
Not their doing but The Omnipotent.

You can't change history. We know the reality on ground.

Even during the last election Igbos defeated you to the point that you hv to violently threaten them.


In wealth Igbos are number number one in Nigeria. Unless you want to remain confused.

Igbos are a great race, highly creative.


Imagine a tribe that lost more than 3million of its youthful population between 1967 to 1970, got their investments, houses, industries, markets, institutions bombed to ashes by British/Russian/Egyptian jet bombers during the civil war, and lost virtually everything. All their investments outside Southeast were either taken and converted by individuals and governments, all their monies in Nigerian banks got seized and taken by Nigerian government, all their population working under Nigerian government got sacked and only few lucky ones got reinstated after the war.


Yet this singular tribe rose from ashes and became a force to reckon with despite decade long federal political marginalization since the end of the civil war in 1970 whereby Southeast out of the 6 geopolitical zones of Nigeria is the only zone that was given 5 states even when Southeast have more population than Southsouth and Middlebelt.


Yet this tribe has overtaken every other tribe in every human developmental indices you can think of and you still have the shame to be measuring dick with them.


Imagine if Southwest faced what Igbos faced, I can tell you for free that Borno will be far better than the entire southwest region today.



Bro, give Igbos some kudos, Igbo erika, Igbo di too much, and you and your tribesmen know this cool
Igbos were even poorer then.

Listen young brats, when it comes to wealth distribution, Igbos carry first in Nigeria.

Let me break it down for you to understand.


If we put Hausa-Fulani population as 100million, out of that 100million, 2 are dollar billionaires, 100 dollar millionaires, 10,000 are dollar thousandnaires, 1million Naira millionaires and the rest are poor as in extremely poor.


If we put Yoruba population as 55million, out of that 55million, 3 are dollar billionaires, 150 dollar millionaires, 200,000 are dollar thousandnaires, 5million are Naira millionaires and the rest are poor and average.




Now if we put Igbo population as 52million, out of that 52million, none are dollar billionaires according to Forbes rating, 1,000 are dollar millionaires, 5million are dollar thousandnaires, 19million are Naira millionaires and the rest are poor and average.



This is the difference between Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani wealth in Nigeria.


Due to federal politics controlled by Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas for decades since the end of civil war in 1970, more Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas are dollar billionaires because of the federal government favor they enjoy having their tribesmen in federal government authorities in Nigeria, but when it comes to wealth distribution, Igbos carry first because of their small and medium scale business orientation and the "nwa-boi" system in Igbo culture that makes the successful Igbo businessmen to pickup poor boys from Igbo rural communities to train and make them successful business owners over some years.


Another thing that make Igbos to have a deeper wealth distribution more than other Nigerian tribes is their love for traveling around, it makes them spread across all Nigerian regions and continents of the world spotting new and rare opportunities of survival before others, which gives them an upper hand financially and economically when it comes to being financially average/above poverty line.


This is the reality but as a kid you are, you can argue blindly.

Google "Louis Ojukwu"

When Queen Elizabeth first visited Nigeria, Nigeria as a country didn't have a befitting car to carry the Queen, it was Sir Louis Ojukwu's car, a Rolls Royce that was used to carry Queen Elizabeth about.


Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu was the first documented black billionaire and richest man in Africa then, use Google.


He was so rich that the British government wrote him specially requesting his help during the world war II in transport and logistics, and he donated his hundreds of trucks that was used to carry soldiers who were mobilized to fight on the side of Allied forces in Burma.


Igbo man was:

The First Indigenous Governor General of Nigeria (Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe)


First Indigenous President of Nigeria (Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe)

First Senate President of Nigeria (Nwafor Orizu)

First Military President/Head of State of Nigeria (Gen Aguiyi Ironsi)

First Civilian Vice President in Nigeria (Dr Alex Ekwueme)


First Indigenous Army General in Nigeria (Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi)

First Chief of Army Staff of Nigeria (Gen Aguiyi Ironsi)

First documented Billionaire in Nigeria (Sir Louis Ojukwu)

First Secretary of Commonwealth from Africa (Chief Emeka Anyaoku)



My dear, the civil war took Igbos far far back and yet they were able to rose from ashes and still overtook many to the disgust of haters from your tribe.


Igbo means = I Go Before Others


We are the first of whatever you dream of today. Whatever a Yoruba man is aspiring to be in Nigeria today, an Igbo man has achieved it in the past.


If you are in doubt, use Google.


British history written by British and American historians had it that the rest of Nigerian tribes envied Igbos post-colonial era, wondering why and how Igbos dominated all sectors; from politics to military to trade to economy to education, which they said was part of what motivated the 1966 pogrom in the North beyond the military coup. If you doubt me, use Google or go to youtube and search for Sir Ahmadu Bello's speech on how Igbos dominate everywhere in Nigeria including Northern Nigeria such that he said they have initiated a policy to stop Igbos from occupying any position in Northern region, that instead they would hire foreigners/Whites.


Same thing made Awolowo to start the free education in Western Nigeria to enable his Yoruba tribesmen catch up with Igbos who were dominating everything even in Western region.


These were the origins of the hatred and gangup against Igbos, the civil war then presented Yorubas a great opportunity to work with Northerners to outshine Igbos but still cheesy

There’s no tribe without its own achievement, but when you want to chest beat and make others look like idiots, they will prove it to you with evidences.
If we are taking of first to do something, for every one you mention from your side, yorubas can mention 10 to reply each one.

In every country, the most important sectors and positions are:


1.) Executive - President & Vice
2.) Security - Army (Army Chief)
3.) Economy - Richest person
4.) Parliament - Senate President
5.) Judiciary - Chief Judge

Imagine a Yoruba kid calling Igbos lazy, isn't that funny to you?


Imagine a Yoruba kid saying Igbos were lazy and poor before the civil war, that it was after the civil war ended that Yorubas helped Igbos to rise by accommodating Igbos in Lagos? lafmaooo


Imagine several Yoruba kids on this thread mocking Igbos for not having any Igbo person on the Forbes list of dollar billionaires, and you think they don't need to be reminded of their history and who Igbos are?



It is their mockery and foolishness that made me to remind them that whatever a Yoruba man aspires to be today or tomorrow in Nigeria, an Igbo man has achieved that thing in the past.


See how they have been mocking Igbos about Presidency, saying an Igbo man will never become President of Nigeria but these little kids with loud mouth forgot that before a Yoruba man ever became President, an Igbo man had became First Indigenous Governor General of Nigeria which was the first Head of State of Nigeria after British Colonial masters started to relinquish power to Nigerians.


An Igbo man still became the first Civilian President of Nigeria.

Another Igbo man still became the first Military President or Head of State of Nigeria.


Another Igbo man still became the first Senate President of Nigeria.

Another Igbo man still became the first Civilian Vice President of Nigeria yet these loud mouthed Yoruba boys have the shame to be mocking Igbos for achieving what Igbos had achieved many decades ago, hahahahaha

The marginalization started after the end of the civil war, the civil war presented Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas the opportunity to take everything Igbos achieved before the war and then seized power and had a secret agenda to ensure Igbos are held down from ever rising again.

A supremacist believes he or his ethnicity is always better than you or your ethnicity even if you and your ethnicity have achieved much more than the supremacist will ever achieve in their lifetime.

A supremacist will always belittle and denigrate you and your ethnicity no matter your achievement.


You obviously are either under 20 years old or you are very naive..

for you not to know how the mind of a supremacist works shows you have never read history..

this is not cruise or online banters, the person you quoted is an i:gbo supremacist and will never ever respect a non igbo person no matter what..

most of them have this mentality so stop showing your naive attitude around them either online or offline...

i:gbos have never ever been marginalised... they only cry marginalisation in states they are not indigenous to so that they can get government positions in those states that is also one of the reasons they are the only ones that want "State of Origin" removed from the constitution.

i:gbos are not marginalized.

the way Nigeria is structured, ethnic nations that control a state can never ever be relegated, i:gbos control at least 6 to 7 states in Nigeria, the states means indigenous government officials ( i:gbo officials ) will always receive funds.

if i:gbos were marginalized then that means since 1970 they have not received any allocation from the FG and they have never held any Federal Government political appointments, and never been governors, senators, local government chairmen in their own states.

i:gbos are pros at emotional blackmailing other people to manipulate them to do what i:gbos want.

They are however both listed as Nigerian-Americans NOT full Nigerian citizens and USD billionaires like Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Abdulsamad Isyaku-Rabiu, and 'Femi Otedola.

This clarifies my original point on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index and Dr. 'Bayo Ogunlesi's USD billionaire status.

Upon all his acting as middlemen to sell guns to the Nigerian government during the civil war. Same gun were used in killing his own people grin
Arthur Nzeribe from Oguta in Imo State is the one who was actually selling weapons as an arms dealer to both the Federal Government and the rebel secessionist during the Nigerian Civil War, NOT Arthur Eze from who is from Anambra. (Arthur Eze also got oil from the deep offshore after the 1993 bidding for deep offshore oil blocks at the same time just like the savvy billionaire and former banker with IMB, Mrs. Folorunso Alakija who later struck oil and gas with her international partners from her Agbami Oilfield).
