Natajo2021:
Countless no of Igbo women are also queens in the South West.

Name one. We are talking of tradition, not wives of governors (mere politicians)

As copied from Facebook

The Yoruba Lady who was queen in Igboland

A Yoruba lady, Adebimpe Abimbolu, was a queen in Ndikelionwu town in Anambra State, between 2008 and 2021. (13 years). Her husband, Igwe Chukwuemeka Ike, was a well-known professor, author, and former Head of WAEC. He was born into a royal family.

Upon retirement he went back home to Ndikelionwu to assume the position of Igwe (king). His wife became the queen. Igwe Prof Ike died in 2020. They had an only son who was the prince but died in 2016 before his father.

Prof Ike studied at the UI and Stanford University in the US. He had met and married his wife at the UI in 1959. Queen Adebimpe Abimbolu Ike died in 2021, one year after her husband.

Some of Igwe Ike's novels include:

Toads for Supper (London: Harvill Press, 1965)
The Naked Gods (London: Harvill Press, 1970)
The Potter's Wheel (London: Harvill Press, 1973)
Sunset at Dawn (Collins & Harvill Press, 1976)
Expo '77 (Fontana, 1980)
The Chicken Chasers (Fontana, 1980)
The Bottled Leopard (1985)
Our Children Are Coming (Ibadan: Spectrum Books 1990)
Conspiracy of Silence (Longman, 2001)

I have been privileged to read the first seven of those books.

RIP professor Igwe Chukwuemeka Ike.

Bro aswear to you that abi yoruba boy, why would I need to lie, they feel everyone on nairaland is Igbo and many of them also think it's every afonja as they call it hates Igbos, I don't hate Igbos, I will never hate them, I prefer them 100 times than the terrorists up north whether fulani or hausas. Not all Yorubas hate Igbos please let all Igbos know this.

Correct. Today's events bear you out.

Racoon:
I guess you are referring to this fella?

Yes, what do you think about him?😀😀😀😀

Lagosian claiming landlord in response to ethnic tension bursted as an extremely hungry and impoverished online beggar

Truly, truly, the internet never forgets

JealousCobra:
You have said your prayers in peace, leave comments for us abegi 😎

Ok oo mo ti gbo.

PointB:
Would have said Amen, but I don't wish Tinubu horrible end. I want him to realize his mistake, and seek forgiveness and peace. A jail term will be fair at worse.

Jail term for what?

My prayers for Obi, Atiku, Tinubu, INEC and Oluomo. I say these prayers with the full understanding that causeless prayers shall not alight, but that causefull prayers shall.

1. IF Obi truly won the election may he recover his victory and go on to be president. But IF he actually lost, may he realize that fact sooner than later and congratulate the winner, so peace can reign.

2. IF Atiku truly won the election may he recover his victory and go on to be president. But IF he actually lost, may he realize that fact sooner than later and congratulate the winner, so peace can reign.

3. IF Tinubu truly won the election and was qualified to contest in the first place, may he be crowned president and may his "reign" be very successful for NG.
But IF he actually lost and turned around to usurp another person's victory, thereby plunging the country into a potential sociopolitical crisis, may he not complete his term and may he face a horrible end.

IF INEC in 2023 conducted a free, fair and efficient election to the true best of its ability, may the names of its handlers be written with a golden pen in the annals of history. But IF INEC rigged the election thereby subverting the will of the people, may all of those at INEC involved meet a terrible and unspeakable personal condition this year.

IF Musiliu Akinsanya aka Oluomo actually threatened voters, thereby disenfranchising them and infringing upon their human rights, may he face a certain horrible end, and may all he ever possessed, living or otherwise, face deep deprivation, humiliation and sorrow. If he did not do any of these things, may he live long to enjoy life to the maximum extent possible...

Amen!!

Lo. Its not a day's job.

In the field of geography kwara state is not in the north but central west of Nigeria.

Where is Kwara state today? In a place called North something or in a place called South something? If it makes you happy replace geography with politics.����

Ezmans:
but he forgets that the only handwork in yoruba land is forkanizer

How can anyone with any sense say this?

DubaiLandLord:
Just the way it will take war for Biafra to have any part of Delta or Rivers. So Biafra will be only made up of the 5 south eastern states.

Most likely yes. I don't disagree. It will take strong diplomatic overtures to get those guys into the Igbo country.

duro4chang:
I am from kwara south. We will join our kith and kin in the south west. Kwara north may join arewa but later they will regret it because they will experience neglect.

Sure! You can belong where you like. But they will tell you to leave "northern Nigeria" in terms of geographical location. If you insist, then they make you a northerner by force. Hahahahaha!

No one can stop us taking goods through this part way bro,I know you don't like Igbo and is always against us but at least be logical for once

I am an Igbo from Abia. Abum onye Igbo. Maka odi mma ikwu ezi okwu. You can draw a line on the map. But you know it's not as easy as that. Wike has told you he is not Igbo. Millions of Niger Deltans agree with him. You go fight war taya.

t6:
Why not attempt to comprehend the prediction properly before submitting your opinion. Why not ponder on the quagmire which may ensue after your demand for independence?

You dey mind am. Typical hot blooded Nigerian.���

DubaiLandLord:
Una go just dey talk rubbish. Kwara state is a creation of the FGN.

We know that. But it has come to stay. It will take war to reverse it.

Akudaisi:
when the dredging starts they can stop us if they are able

What would you do if they disagree? Go to war? You are very funny. They will likely disagree especially if you do not use diplomacy to make them see economic reasons/benefits for them.

Christistruth00:
With all humility

If you start off a Country by forgetting about Land boundaries you will start off with South Sudan type Civil War because the boundaries you forgot to define may belong to others.

You need to define your borders for the sake of Peace.

Please tell him again. Too many small boys here.���

Akudaisi:
forget about land boundaries which is what is confusing you,if we go our separate ways,for example Igbos excluding the ones in Cross River,Delta and Rivers State,let's assume those go with Nigeria,we will still have access to the sea because our River runs directly to the Atlantic ocean which is how others got the sea too,no one has the sea so once you have direct access to the sea you can use it,I wish someone with more vast knowledge on this matter can lecture you well

No one has the sea? You obviously don't know your maritime laws. The owner of the land adjacent to the sea owns the sea up to several 10s if not 100s, of nautical miles outwards. That aside, the points where the rivers you are going to be dredging run into the ocean belongs to non Igbos. They may not give permission to you.

Juliusmalema:
Myopism is a total disaster unless you are one. You analysis of investment is a street gossip.

Those investing in other countries, are they now dislocated because they invested in other countries.

Moreover in Nigeria settings I HV avoided arguing on base I am igbo or not but fact as laid.

If the Igbos currently in other countries with investment here and there weren't dislocated and still pay taxes who will then dislocate them of their investment.

Say something else.

If Nigeria is a zoo like many of us Igbos believe, then if we separate you should expect animosity that would result in unilateral seizures of properties from different sides. You think any international body can resolve that on time?

Akudaisi:
abeg Azumini river is 25 Nautical miles to Atlantic ocean,Sea laws gives Igbos direct access to the sea,they are similar Rivers in Igbo land that can be dredge to give us many access to the sea

Define the boundaries of your Igboland, please

Juliusmalema:
So Yoruba have all these goodies but stick to Nigeria will all their lives and breath at it?

Yorubas should stop telling themselves lies, because it is obvious thru can't stand the blink of decapitation of Nigeria and the devastating effect on them..

Is there something you guys are not telling us?

Secondly what do you mean dislocation of Investment, So Igbos in Ghana, US , britain and pay their taxes now have dislocated investment?


What class did you stop before you joined street gossip?


Yorubas should leave Nigeria now , afterall you won't be missed, so stop massaging una failed ego.

Alakija became rich by oil that is not in Yorubaland and not by any other investment.

Otedola became rich because Obasanjo gave him 90% license of kerosene/crude importation.

Adenuga same thing..

Tell us who became rich by mere investment outside oil....

Even Dangote and north beats you guys on that though he enjoys monopoly.

Nwanna, abum onye Igbo. Tell yourself the truth among the different groups who would start fairing better faster?

OKOATA:
Bro I wanna ask you a question since you are a Niger Deltan, please why don't you guys just break up this nation, I am sure if you take over the oil those demon sucking northern/fulanis can go thier way but you choose to let them keep exploiting you. Why do you guys choose to earn peanuts while some northerners milk you dry, I am sure if you can initiate this breakup south south will be an amazing country, you have all the ammunitions down and your militants too, what's stopping you guys from being free from these leeches hosting on you, using your money to sponsor terrorism up and down, why are you guys just looking? I am a Yoruba by the way.

Good question, bros.

Akudaisi:
Abeg Igbos have access to sea so be calming down and South South and Niger Deltaisn't going to a country

There will be war over sea access between Igbos and South South. South East don't have access to sea except if they convince Ikwerres and Opobos to join the Igbo country. That's why the post says "unquestioned access".

habsydiamond:
Kwara is never part of South west nao... No be north central dem dey ni.. I refuse to agree on this oo

On what? Who mentioned Kwara here?

AsomughaChuks05:
Fair assessment but a yoruba nation will not be glitters like you think. Religious tension which is already simmering as seen in the back and forth tirades between MURIC and CAN headed by a yoruba as well as the Kwara hijab controversy, may take a dangerous turn into violence or even division if not handled with care.

Agreed. But it says Yoruba will do better earlier. Not that it would not have problems at all. Yoruba better forget Kwara, otherwise they will go to war with the North and will likely lose.

Read the prediction for south south���

As seen on Facebook

"Here is my prediction for the different components of Nigeria if it breaks up. Only four countries are likely to emerge.

1. The Yoruba will start off much easier than others. The Yoruba have some of the aces (relatively homogenous, access to sea, relatively organized socio-politico-economic system, educated human resources) to start surviving quickly.

2. The Igbo have all that the Yoruba have, except for unquestioned access to sea. But they will suffer seriously for the first couple of years, due to the obvious dislocation of their investments all over Nigeria. There will be chaos due to competition and lack of centralized leadership.. But they will bounce back and become very strong. They will catch up with the Yoruba at some point.

3. The South South will descend into seemingly unending inter ethnic chaos over language, culture, resource allocation, as well as the geographical dislocation (compare location of Cross River to Edo) of their new country.

4. The North will continue life almost as usual (religious problem and insecurity, and subjugation of minorities). They will get poorer over time. But many are already so poor that it really does not matter anymore. As long as the non Muslims don't give any problem, the North will not suffer more than it is doing now. They have the ample land for agriculture. They will adjust to survive.

Note that these are predictions, not prophesies. Good luck.����"

BIGKemsey:
A combination of just 5 Anambra sons are far more richer than Dangote. No argue am

I am talking of states, not individuals. Besides Anambra is overhyped.
