Nigerians still heralding mediocrity in 2019 smh... go to ordinary small Ghana and see structural masterplans in the best of urban blueprint sprawling everywhere, not these thrash you ethnic baiting morons keep getting your panties wet over.

It had nothing to do with dominance, Ijaw was the dominant force in the East. Missionaries played a significant role in the end result that produced Ibo as a majority[color=#990000][/color].

By minding more light on that?

The different ethnic people of Delta have suffered one kind of discrimination and oppression or the other even before the arrival of Britain to colonize the land.

Asari has a very deep sense of pride in his ancestry and roots. He dials back often to the 1800s and reminisces on the past glories of his people and their power and control of the Eastern sea coast. The Dutch and Portuguese were the offshore merchants but Kalabaris, Ijaws were the onshore merchants and the Dutch and Portuguese traded through the coastal people who then retailed items upland to the people in the Eastrern interior, the Ibos, Igalas, Tivs and so on. There was a relationship stack....and Ijaw was at the top of that stack. So when Britain got here it was also the Ijaw Chiefs that signed protectorate treaties with them.

By order of things political, Yoruba was the Western leg for Nigeria and Hausa was the Northern leg for Nigeria, Ijaw ought to have been the Eastern leg for Nigeria. Why did it not?

Cause going by natural order and selection, the Igbos were always going to be dominant tribe in the East. You can pitch it down to anything/reason thereof (population, luck, talent, and perhaps a hampering docility among the minority Eastern tribes in that drive for dominance etc...).

terrorist nnamdi kanu and terrorist asari are fighting for who will be the leader among themselves.
terrorist asari should be the better leader

That's fine, they can fight themselves to the moon and back as to whom should be leader, as long as they keep that nonsense within whatever "Biafra" they are fighting for. No serious Igbo who's busy hustling to make money and be useful in life is losing sleep over some clowns. Biafra is an ideology, and ideologies never die... they just evolve with time until those serious and selfless enough to fight for it step up to the plate.

One local government in Imo state sef go fucck the whole Ijaw nation up in just one week, e come be the Igbo nation this grumpy fat pig wan drag position with , Biafra is bigger than these two attention seeking clowns(Kanu and Dokubo)... they had better keep whatever beef they are having strictly within their Ipob circus display, and not drag the greater Igbo nation into their petty mud fighting rubbish.

helinues:


Lol.. So Obj is from SE?

Mumu we both know the circumstances that got OBJ to power, Yorubas didn't even vote for OBJ, it was majorly Northern and Igbo votes that made OBJ president. Yorubas didn't do Jack Sh1t after voting for Olu falae as their anointed candidate.

There are lots of Igbos in the US army, including the marine... I've met and worked with lots of them.

Born2Breed:


Thank you for giving sense to the senseless slowpoke. They overhype awolowo who was an ex-convict,the same man Akintola then MKO ridiculed and a coward criminal who confisticated most lands around Ikeja,Ilupeju and Co.

It's really annoying, the same Awo they keep extolling to high heavens like some divine being was the same man whose political war with Akintola caused the infamous *we tie* crisis in the West that saw political opponents and factions as well as innocent people been doused with fuel and burned alive, among other killings. If the military coup didn't happen just in time, the West would have been reduced to rubbles of war and devastation at the time.

The 1953 Kano massacre, they targeted and killed many Igbos in it

And weirdly enough, it was the yorubas that jeered at their leaders when they came to the South.... and not the Igbos. Yet somehow when the madness began in Kano, it was the Igbos who were all along minding their own business the Northern mob decided to set upon. The yorubas fueled the crisis and went into hiding , and the Igbos who had nothing to do with it did the fighting, and bore the brunt in the fallout of violence... sad but true narrative worth putting into perspective.

Bossjakande:
am not IBO but I think IMO girls are d finest in naija after fulani

Imo girls I'll rate #2(especially Owerri and Oguta girls... Imo girls are definitely up there in my ranking for the finest in Naija) , but there is just something about Enugu babes wey dey trip me.

All these half-assed useless paper stats no dey tire una? Just throwing ridiculous figures around from unverifiable infometrics, when the indices of living conditions of the average Nigerian is utter Sh1t... obviously facts and figures are never in tandem when it comes to Nigeria.

helinues:


How are you sure about that?

SE president /vp candidacy is a bad market for any political party. That is 100% facts

And SW presidency is good market abi? you clowns are just too delusional, the SW only became relevant in the political equation in 2015, prior to that you were playing opposition for 16 years or so.

Westbestside:
I wouldn't be downgrading anybody if they don't try to do same to mine. I always challenge anybody trying to talk rubbish about awoo to bring any leader or hero from his/her clan that can match quarter of awoo achievement. I can't remember any hero from edo cos there is none instead, it is same awoo that did a lot for them. If any then I challenge them to list his achievements. 30years after, all of them still talk about awoo and his legacy. Don't they anyone to talk about In their clan?

Ever heard of Anthony Enahoro??

Enugu girls too fine abeg, na to enter 042 find wife when I enter Naija this December.

Iamgrey5:
And Zik or Ojukwu were the heros of entire black race right ?

.
I could care less about Ojukwu and Zik, they add nothing to my life, just had to make my point crisp and clear.

Westbestside:
Lol, is there any bold bini man on earth? Lol. You do claimed to own every southern land but wonder how other group chased you all to one part, almighty bini people that were chased away from their so called clan .

Your emotional ranting can't stop awoo achievement.

Israel honored him even 30years after his death. Something no edo/bini man can achieve even alive .

Tell me, who can honor any of your family members alive

Stop this nonsense, you can't force people to love your hero, it's makes sense of course why Awo is deeply respected and loved by his Yoruba people, and that's fine.. but then it borders on sheer lunacy and delusion when you start to disparage other people (of different ethnic stocks) who might not share that same optimism. For all intents and purposes, Awo was hardly regaled among the other ethnic minority groups that make up the now defunct Midwest region, and that's why there was a plebiscite conjured by their (Midwestern) leaders to be excised from the Western region/Yoruba domination. My point is Awo was ONLY a hero to the yorubas, nobody outside the West gave two fuccks about him, much less his much vaunted legacy (respectable as it were)... you can't force people to love you, you have your hero.. I have my hero, you can't force me to love yours, much as I can't force you to love mine. Case closed.

I hope you restrict that fancy Edo/Delta conjecture to only NON-IGBO speaking areas that are more than likely not going to tow along.

His wife his business, if boredom enter me one day I go film sex tape with my babe share online... make who e pain for body for knack him own babe

The first film produced on video in Nigeria is 1988's Soso Meji, produced by Ade Ajiboye. Subsequently, Alade Aromire produced Ekun (1989) on video.

Local audience, All Nigerians (Ijaw, Igbo, Efik, Hausa, Ibibio etc) watched Living in Bondage, at least on average basis, chances are majority of Nigerian homes had Living in bondage VHS cassettes in its stock (I bet your family did as well if you are going to be honest). my point is Living in Bondage set the dynamics of movie production in Nigeria to its golden age, any other film produced before that died with a very narrow audience of mainly just yorubas.

olas24u:

They produced for Yoruba audience in those locations and it's online

Mention any of the works or cinema productions by Muyideen or Ogunde to any Nigerian today (except old generation yorubas) , they will more than likely come up blank. But mention or show Living in Bondage VHS to any African who follows Nigerian movies well or even any young or old Nigerian today, chances are they will recognize the movie immediately.

olas24u:

Is not every Nigerian,I know what you are talking about,that is Kenneth and it was in 1992.aromire produced in 1989.

Straight from Google database itself.

"The first Nigerian films were made by filmmakers such as Ola Balogun and Hubert Ogunde in the 1960s, but they were frustrated by the high cost of film production. But in 1992 Nigeria's home video industry, popularly known as Nollywood, took a dynamic turn with the release of the movie “Living in Bondage“.

olas24u:

He was known in Brazil, Venezuela,Trinidad and Tobago,Cuba ,Benin, Togo,Ghana,Ivory coast, America, unitedkingdom,western Germany now part of Germany.

Please provide your source that Herbet Ogunde was that known or acclaimed, which of his work made it into those counties? I need facts.

olas24u:

Muyideen Aromire, an ace Nollywood actor, popularly known as Alade, who was believed to have produced the first home video in Nigeria

LOL guy stop this nonsense, every Nigerian knows and recognizes Living in Bondage was and remains the first ever produced commercial home video (a simple Google search is there). I mean there's nobody in Nigeria regardless of ethnicity that hasn't heard about or watched that movie, can't say the for your Alade movie or whatever it's called. Note Living in Bondage sold far more copies than any home made videos made from the late 80's to the 90's.
