You have proven to be a waste of time. Keep deluding yourself. I will be nice enough to ignore you.

stop replying him...he has over 30 monikers...u dont wanna talk with him believe me

Chiwude:
Nzeogwu did not think what's best for the Igbo nation, he was a big idiot that should have be shot by Ironsi, or sent to the north to be butchered both him and Ifeajuna. Both Zik and Ironsi are other idiots we have whose actions and inactions brought us where we are today. Cursed be all of them.

i thought u told pazienza that i was bringing division and being uncoth...

Lol u are just as angry as i am...touché

B2mario:
The capital of Owerri was Umuahia. Is like Abakiliki was the one of Ogoja.

ogoja was ogoja

InyinyaAgbaOku:
So, folks, what do we do about these our new age Igbo governors?
They invited the FG to fight IPOB. i'm not even a member of IPOB but the fact the invited the army to kill our people means we are dealing with Ironsis, so what do we do?

i will always say that ipob presented a unique opportunity for a new politics in the east.

We wasted that opportunity. Kanu wasted that opportunity by not knowing wen to tone down and negotiate.

If u want to punish or change our current govs, u have rally round someone to do it. Who is such a person? Kanu is probably dead. And we have no popular leader now who can lead the change

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Align with Awolowo to do what?
Oga, forget that end.
Nothing good would have come out of aligning with that betrayer. It wouldn't have panned out well. Awolowo envied Zik to the moon and back.

did aligning with the north pan out well?

A zik who was prime minister is better than a zik who was president...regardless of who he aligned with.

Another mistake from zik

superlightning:
I don't know the point you are trying to make. NCNC was founded by who? Herbert Macaulay. In which party Zik grow to establish himself? NCNC. It had nothing to do with tribe. It has everything to do with having a springboard to launch from and identify with.

Ojukwu's sins are a kettle of fish altogether. I wouldn't want to digress too much in it neither do I want downplay ojukwu altogether. Of all advices and counsels, it was ziks, okpara's own he didn't give opportunity to at least listen to. Ojukwus actions and inactions will be extensively discussed another day.

Ironsi banning Igbo union and other ethnic organizations at the time as well as abolishing regional embassies, was a bid to unite a country threatening to divide along ethnic lines. He even brought in the infamous unitary system, all in a bid to make Nigeria one by all means. He naively wanted to unite Nigeria the "barrack way", and uniting the country meant placating the grieving northerners (who secretly were grieving because they had lost grip of national power).

These actions were honest but grave mistakes, it didn't make ironsi the worst Igbo leader. Enough of the one sided narratives being made against him. Recently, reevaluations on ironsi's stewardship as head of state has been made by political pundits. He was the first military head of state, others after him learnt from his naivety.

both ojukwu, zik and ironsi gaffed so much in their actions at the time that i just have to believe that it was because they didnt have the benefit of hindsight.

Non was better than the other honestly

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Yet another non visionary person who placed national interest above tribal ones.
What the hell do you want to clean 'Nigeria' of bad leaders for?
Why not concentrate on your own Midwestern Region?
And the silly talk of the plan being about making Awolowo president afterwards makes me shiver. What stupid agenda is that?
Why couldn't Awolowo's people do that job alone ? Yet, after everything, the same Awolowo's people are part of those that wrongly labeled it an Igbo coup and made sure it stuck. The same Awolowo punished your people.
It's a lesson for all these Igbo people that thing being ethnocentric means being bigoted and go on to carry Nigeria on their heads like Gala.

The other non visionary one is Ironsi. He was the worst. The news of his imminent assassination was revealed to him by a younger Igbo soldier , as soon as it was freshly planned. But Ironsi went ahead to expose the same guy to the army, asking him to repeat what he told him in private, before everybody, accusing him of promoting tribalism and calumny against the Nigerian army. A DPO told me this.
The army eliminated the Igbo soldier and of course, Ironsi , afterwards.
The only thing we can do is not to allow these events to play out again

as in eh...i feel all these things was planned by allah to gv the north and west lead over us.

Otherwise how can we justify strings and strings of mistakes from different igbo actors at the time.

Most ppl dont even know wat am about to say now...and i denied and defended it wen a yoruba msn brought it up...

But truth is...it was zik who would have been prime minister after the 1959 nigerian election if he had formed a coalition with awolowo.

But because britain already made balewa pm since 1957, zik chose to just align with the north and bcom governor general...instead of rocking the boat.

A deadly mistake...again

aniomafirstson:
You keep blaming the likes of zik and Nzeogwu for what they did.
Oga they have done their part.
what we should do now is learn from their mistakes.
Give our heroes some respect please.
ojukwu,zik and Nzeogwu all did what they thought was best for igboland.

we are learning from their mistakes here...thats why we are discussing them

Xander85:
I've often wondered why Zik, with all the int'l clout and connections he had at the time, wasn't able to convince the western world (or USA at the very least) to support the Biafran secession cause! It's been mentioned that part of the reason the west didn't support Biafra was because they had a premonition how great a Biafran Republic would be, and the superiority complex in them didn't want no 'black monkeys' showing them up like that! Remember this was the 60s, during the decade blacks in the US were fighting for their civil rights!

I feel, like has been stated above, that Ziks heart just wasn't for Biafra....and this is somewhat understandable given the fact he had close links to the north and western regions!

If not for all the above, Ziks clout coupled with the promise of free oyel from a independent Biafra should have been enough to convince the west to support the new republic in its fight to be free from the medieval minds that hold us all to ransom to even to today!

the western world has a policy of not supporting secession. U.k didnt support the confederate states in american civil war even wen it was in their interest to do so...cos u.k was the most powerful country in the world then and america was threatning to usurp that power.

The west didnt support catalonia...doesnt support taiwan...they have never supported any agitation to change border. They will tell u to do it democratically and let both parties agree...that was why south sudan stood. Cos sudan agreed.

It wasnt because of how great they feared we would be. Biafra wasnt particularly great. Igbos werent particularly known nor respected in western circles...they just dont openly support secession.

Zik supported biafra initially and even composed the anthem.

But it was too late...the north would only leave the east to go after the last northerner is dead...we stood little chance.

It would have been possible to divide b4 1960 not after.

aniomafirstson:
Go and read Adewale Ademoyega's book on why we struck before coming here to call nzeogwu an idiot.

Nzeogwu was a man who saw the future
Most of the problems we still have today was what nzeogwu was trying to avert.

Nzeogwu is still my hero forever.

and all the problems igbos are facing today is because of the idiot.

It easier for u. U can claim delta wen u like and claim igbo wen u feel like.

Me and other igbos on this thread can only claim igbo...and the name is stigmatised today because of nzeogwu...he might be ur hero in anioma...no issue...but he is a cursed entity in south east political history.

Ask other igbos

InyinyaAgbaOku:
There are far more Anambra people in Enugu state civil service than the other way round, yet, we keep hearing of what happened in 1991 , that followed state creation in most regions. It's alright.

About Zik,all you listed was achievable by him. If he could get Nigeria independence without bloodshed ( a phenomenon documented globally by observers) and start a Pan African movement named after him, there was nothing he couldn't have achieved , if he had set out to do it.
The only thing he didn't achieve in his life was being president post civil war era and that's because Igbos, including him, had begun to suffer from his previous inactions.

So, setting the Eastern region into what you described above was like 'beans' for him. That's part of why I believed that if he had intervened the right way, and with all his international connections, Nigerian division, pre 1951 or Biafra, late 60s , would have come on a platter of gold. Dude wasn't just interested.
The so called advice he was giving Ojukwu , prior to the war ( that people are harping about and calling Ojukwu stubborn for) ,was summarily for Igbos to remain in Nigeria, not minding the pogroms. How possible was that? Ojukwu had to shove him aside so he could concentrate. And what did Zik do after?
He vamoosed.

And let's remember Ojukwu didn't start the secession alone. There was a referendum in the Eastern region . He also worked with a lot of intellegensia , like Achebe, Okigbo and Co. We heap these blames on Ojukwu and identify all his mistakes just because we lost.

zik's vain-glory and stupidity cost us.

If i were him, i would NEVER join east with nigeria after oil got discovered.. i would drag my foot until i understand the extent of the oil and wat our options were.

Oil that already made rockerfella the richest man in history 200 years prior
Wat i will be thinking would be how rich i and my family would become if we came to control the oil 100%

I will rather die than hand over oil found in my territory to the larger nigerian nation.

Xander85:
Had things (the political-economy of Nigeria) remained as they were, with the upward economic trajectory the Eastern Region was witnessing pre-66, Port Harcourt would have overtaken Lagos by the 1980s.

Of course this is assuming all agitations by minorities in the region were addressed; which i believe, given time, they would have been! Not addressing these lingering issues before the coup of '66 allowed our enemies to see an opening through which they could come into the east...take advantage of the divisions that existed within the new region, and divide us further!

that coup was everything....it changed everything.

There where 5 provinces in the east...onitsha, owerri, ogoja, rivers and calabar. Their capital where also the cities the provinces where named after...except rivers which had ph as capital.

If the provinces where given increased revenue according to derivation, we would have had 6 highly developed cities in the east...that would have reduced agitation as most ppl will leave the villages and move to the cities and stopped playing clannish politics.

By now most peeps from niger delta would have been speaking fluent igbo...and reasoning like igbo ppl.

Xander85:
It would be very hard to get these kind of leaders again! That stupid Nzeogwu coup messed up so many things for us that i don't even know where to start!

Nowadays, people go into politics and selfless service is the last thing on their minds! They're more interested in making billions (of dollars if possible) and being worshipped as 'your excellency....not much else!

nzeogwu was an idiot whose memory should be cursed. Idiot thought nigeria was a small country he could control...he didnt appreciate the strenght of the north. Today, the east could have at least been wat lagos is to nigeria today..the richest zone...where the money is.

Enugu and ph could have been like abuja and lagos. The east had it all...but it wasnt enough...nzogwu and his goons wanted more...they got death instead. Curse their memory. Am sad now

After the british left gcc 7 emirates came together to form uae. They also invited qatar and bahrain...but the 2 emirates said no and went it alone.

Today, even tho uae is still a very powerful country, qatar is pulling major weight in the world and is the richest country in the world.

The futuristic al thani emir is fast turning the country into the switzerland of middle east

InyinyaAgbaOku:
I am not interested in the state politics going on here but I know that Zik is one non visionary person, even though he was intelligent . You are overhyping his roles. His positives ended in 1960, although, prior to that, his insistence on Nigeria not dividing didn't make any sense. He listed our problems in a certain speech and still went ahead to campaign for one Nigeria?
His counterparts in other regions were busy positioning their people for a post disaster Nigeria, but he was just behaving like he didn't know the Nigeria that he wanted to lead and it's tribal realities. Even went to contest in the Western region, when he had a region to develop.
I really wish he were like Ojukwu - protecting his people first.
His post 1960 actions were disastrous, how did he even help Igbos when they needed him most in the late 60s?
Abeg.

Don't get me wrong, Zik started out well, galvanizing Igbo people into a union(thats what I meant when I said Igbo as a political unit is recent, but some didn't get me), I learnt he helped some Igbos get strategic education abroad and all that , established UNN but he really ended badly. It kinda cancelled everything and we all started afresh.

Ojukwu had his own mistakes but he is more popular in Igboland cos even the elders understood that those mistakes of his were as a result of trying to protect his people. Other people who understood our realities were Akanu Ibiam, and my favorite, Michael Okpara. The latter is a genius .

state politics pains me eh....wetin be anambra and enugu? The last deputy governor of enugu state came from Abia. I as an enugu man know some of my anambra friends who i can support for enugu governor tomorrow. Many of us have mothers coming from outside our state sef. We are igbo. Nothing more. So if i critisize zik, its because of his deeds, not his origin.

Zik steped in to lead eastern region at a time division was very possible...but he chose to be zik of africa...lol. who send am? Oil was discovered in east since 1958 and u dont knw wat that means.. a whole zik who schooled in u.s didnt know wat dat meant? Insist on ur people going it alone. Insist insist insist. Make things difficult for the white colonialist....insist insist..until u get a better deal...insist more...conduct illegal referendums...rig it and show a result of overwhelming independence vote... if the whites want one nigeria, give them big conditions...and insist on them. Ghana at the time was not as big as eastern region...

Tell the whites that because of islam in north and west and lack of islam in east, that u cant advice ur ppl to form one country with nigeria. Then insist more...until they either gv u wat u want or imprison u.

Wen u get an independent eastern region, name it wat eva name u like and enthrone ursslf as king...let ur sons take over from u....then work for ur people like ghadaffi did. East could have been as developed as algeria today if we had futuristic leaders in the 50s after oil was discovered. Unfortunately, we had zik who wanted to be president of africa

nnamdijonathan:
why is he dressed like a Yoruba man? How many Nigerians wear our own Igbo attires?

he can afford to dress anyhow and still be a hardcore igbo man

Michael okpara....the youngest premiere in Nigerian history. He turned eastern region into the fastest growing economy in Africa...even b4 oil became a factor.

Dude never owned a house. He joined eastern region house of assembly in 1950 and had a steady political career lasting 16 years....7 of which he spent as premiere.

Died at age 64

superlightning:
A good one from pazienza. Nice.

that is wat he should say more...

Even tho he started that post negatively by saying igbo ezue 'affects' all groups...as if it was a negative thing.

There is standardized english...but believe me...if u go to england, u will see the difference btw various clans in england.

We should standardize igbo and increase our vocabulary..

Omanabala1 is very divisive...and i hate divisive ppl with passion

OMANBALA1:
Pazienza is a walking encyclopedia! Nairaland have lost its bit and grit, when intelligent conversations were still holding here, this is around 2008 to 2014 I have watched Pazienza take on some of the most intelligent Yorubas and reduced them to rubble, singlehandedly. Dude is an intellectual giant, full stop. Ide Nnaa, Onlytruth, Odumchi, Obiagu, Ezeagu , and Chinenye are some of my mentors when I joined Nairaland in 2009. From Ide Nnaa writings I learned a big chunk of Igbo history and culture even about myself, hitherto I was just a man wandering man without a knowledge of my identity.

Somebody was accusing me of planting disunity among Igbo, well, I dont hate anybody including Igbo persons from Rivers, Enugu, Delta ,Imo, Ebonyi, and Abia but abum Nwa Omanbala firstly and I will enrich the mind and pocket of an Anambra person before anybody else and I think you should do the same for your people. In Idenmili our mothers used to sing a certain song and it goes like this " esi n'unor di, esi n'unor di, okwa esi n'unor di mma adilu puta ilo." However, I will not like to you guys, I believe we can develop a political agenda that will benefit all Igbo states like a business idea. We dont necessarily have to romance each other because I felt my culture is being tampered with. For instance, Igbo Izugbe is affecting the way we Anambra people speak and I am enraged about this. You kill Anambra culture you kill our spirit and pride and we will be reduced to the level of everybody else.

One thing as Ndigbo we can do to preserve our culture and identity is to trash the Igbo Izugbe and replace it with multiple regional dialects. Igbo Izugbe is a ffucking problem!!

OLISEBULUWA GOZIE OMANBALA,NDIGBO, NA UMU ISI OJII !

Pazienza i wont engage u on this issue again cos its of no use...all it will do is further elongate the arguement.

But look at the bolded sentences and tell me the wisdom in them. The enemy knows which one among us to use to bring us down...cos the enemy has looked deep into all our hearts...and that is why the enemy has consistently claimed a particular one of us whenever he wants to strike.

Bro...look deep inside u and tell ur people to look deep inside them.

Ya gazie.

ariesbull:
It's a shame that Anambra and Enugu na ezuzu ebea ....but as of Ojukwu ...he was a dude in his thirties! He is bound to make mistake

Look at 32 year old child today....he is still sagging

i understand that...but he should have let older people like zik, akanu ibiam, mike okpala etc to lead the way....the war was over 2 or 3 months after it started...once enugu and p.h fell wat else are u fighting for?

mightguy:
Bede2u.. Y attacking anambra.. Avent u seen them claim imo to attack anambra... They claim abia and attack anambra and vice versa. Never call ojukwu evil.. Can u do what ojukwu did... U better watch ur mouth there... This is not the first time u are seeing this people derail our thread cos I know u are not new here... Stop this nonsense

am talking about actual anambra ppl i have seen in real life...not just the ones here.

As for ojukwu...i will hold my peace since there are impostors in our midst...but lets just say it like this- 'in hindsight, ojukwu could have done a lot of things differently'.

mightguy:
are you aware the person u are replying is an impostor by name Chino

i have seen it...wont reply anymore

Preshy561:
Abagwuro claims IMO state too but he's a Yoruba.
Stop the argument with oneast please.
Its not worth it.

i have seen that the guy is not even igbo...my bad...

He is the same fool that has up to 20 monickers here

oneast:
Now take some lectures.

As at the time Zik built UNN, wawa people are still in the forest jumping around with monkeys.

The same childish tantrums exclusive to anambra ppl. No other igbo will say childish things like this.

When Zik went to America to study was it your father or grand father sent him? Was it igbos that asked him to fight for independence? He took it upon himself to liberate Nigeria from colonial masters.

lol. Zik wasnt the only igboman who went abroad bro...childish thinking. He took it up on himself to bla bla bla...dude joined politics cos that wat most educated people at the time did.

Ojukwu did the same he was never appointed by the IGBOS but his actions and how he took up the courage to defend Igboland was what led Igbos into adoring him till today.

i might adore ojukwu publicly in order to save face...but deep inside me i know ojukwu was a total failure who led igbos into political oblivion with how he handled everything going on at the time. About 10k igbos who were living in north died..but by ojukwu's silly actions, he sentenced 3 million igbos to death fighting a war he can never win.

What's Ekweremmadu? An ordinary useless deputy senate president?

yes but he is the highest ranking igbo politician today. I really dont like him or gv a damn

Anambra man was the first senate president of Nigeria.

Anambra man was the first Speaker of house of Representatives.

Anambra man was the first president of Nigeria.

so? I get am b4 na property? Abeg

Where were your so called Enugu state people then?

There's nothing beautiful about Enugu. Enugu is more a less an overhyped town filled with slum, poor people, etc. Enugu has nothing to boast of, absolutely nothing. Enugu state people are so backward in all spheres. In education Enugu state is still trailing some northern states. So shut and stop mentioning Enugu because you guys have nothing.

This is a town that does not have a single vibrant company. Any business that opens there failed almost immediately. Presidential hotel in PH opened same time With Presidential hotel Enugu, but today the one in Enugu is dead, Nike lake is dead. Nigerian brewery is on life support.

enugu can be all that and still be one of the best cities in nigeria....so wats ur point??

Zik made Jim Nwobodo gov, without him no wawa person would ever rule the state as at that time.

lol...u guys and nonsense talk....c.c onoh from ngwo still replaced jim in 1983...where was ur omanbala?

You people are inferior sore losers that are always in pain and bitterness.

wat exactly did we lose?? I wanna know? Why on earth would we be bitter?

Yes Anambra people are the 1st class Igbos, kill yaself but none of you can ever use blackmail to get me.

the idea that there is a 1st class and 2nd class igbo is filth only an anambra mouth can propagate.

Without Anambra people there would have been nothing like Igbo. Go and read Zik's address in 1947. Go and read Ojukwu's Ahira declaration of 1969.

u say things my 5 year old nephew wont say...all these jambites should really get off this site.

Anambra people are not even making noise considering how many 'first' they have recorded in politics, education, science, technology, etc. Just that Ekweremmadu is a DSP, an ordinary spare tyre in the Senate and you are even listing it as an achievement. You people are so inferior and backward mentally and otherwise.


[s][/s]

The loudest chest beaters in igboland and nigeria in general come from anambra...always shouting about vague achievements...

Preshy561:
Lol.nonsowow,yseke ,juliusmelma are all aboki that parades as Igbo.
Seems you are new here.

why is it easy for most abokis who want to insult igbos to hide under the umbrella of 'omanbala'

Why cant they claim to be from any other state?

TundeBricklayer:
You can't bring me down to shallow reasoning level, some of you are online idiots, I don't need to attack your state to express my dissatisfaction with your poor reasoning faculty.

u probably dont even know the origin of my post. I love Anambra....never insulted anambra...but when all most all people who insult their fellow igbos claim to be from anambra..then questions must be asked.

Pple like nonsowow bestviewer juliusmalema yyeska all claim to be from anambra...and they are all igbo haters.

Now omambala1 has joined such a terrible list.

I noticed that wen he made his very unnessesary gaffe...none of the anambra posters here called him out...but wen he got replied by xfactor, all of u started calling xfactor out.

We are igbos first and last. The states created are artificial and they can be scraped tomorrow in favour of the regions

TundeBricklayer:
[s][/s]
Some of you reasons through the anus

debunk wat i said or shut up.

someone just said he is Anambra 1st b4 igbo...but i didnt see u labeling him an anus reasoner

pazienza:
Does he represent all Anambra people here? Was Zik arrogant? Was Ojukwu arrogant? Did they at any point tried to look down on other Igbos?
Zik was Anambra man who decided to build UNN in Nsukka, how many of your present governors would agree to build a new University be it private or state anywhere outside the vicinity of their hometowns?

The Ikwerres would hold unto any thrash to justify their current shameless Igbophobia, you would be naive to Side them over your Anambra brothers, when they consider both you and Anambra as same "ele Isoma" in their little mindsets.

Ikwerres had problem with the ascension of Nzimiro as the mayor of PH, with NCNC support. Tell me, was Nzimiro an Anambra man? Was he not from Oguta in Imo state?

Zik was arrogant....one of the reasons a country called Nigeria still stands today is because of gaffes he made to further his own political career.

Ojukwu was a lot more arrogant. Being the first uni graduate in Nigerian army, he saw himself as naploeon of some sorth and took his own opinions too seriously without realising wat is real and wat isnt.

As for zik building unn in nsukka, it doesnt mean much considering that many people have done similar things. Gowon could have made jos nigeria's capital or u can say that ESUT which was built in Enugu 1980 should have been built in jim nwobodo's nkanu?

U may not see it...or u may actually see it but decide to ignore it...but the superiority complex of people from anambra is nauseating....and childish too...
Considering the fact that all the igbo leaders who ever came from there actually failed in their core objective (wat ever it was at the time)...all of them. From zik who wanted to govern nigeria to ojukwu who wanted to govern biafra to ekwueme who wanted to be president....all out manouvered by 'educationally challenged north'. But look at ekweremadu from enugu...see how he has remained relevant without being confrontational. Being loud is not being right. U wanna be right? Try might. Might is right. Look at Aro empire and Nri empire. While Aro turned ibibios (abiriba) and ijaws (bonny) into igbos the nri empire from 'omanbala' ended up losing so many igbo clans to benin.

Even while chimaroke was rebuilding enugu, u guys turned ur state into an arena of blood and poverty with bakassi et all and all but ran to enugu as refugees.

U guys come online and insult the rest of igbos and say things like 'anambra is destined to rule igbos'. Yet i cant for the life of me see wat u guys have specially achieved to be so loud. Most papers say the richest igbomen from south east are rochas or orji kalu while tge ruchest igboman is elumelu from delta. The most popular stars of igbo origin are equally spread among states. The political leader in igboland of today is ekweremadu from enugu. why u guys havent realised the dignity and strenght in being calm is wat i dont knw. The loudest igbos are from anambra and ur brash ways have many times led to the death of igbos...or to igbos making unnessesary enemies.

I come from enugu. Enugu is one of the most beautiful cities in nigeria (special thanks to sullivan chime). Enugu was capital of so many entities...including biafra and old anambra state.

While onitsha was making the list of most poluted cities in the world, enugu was in the list of most resilient cities

But u can never see an enugu man feeling superior nor insult other igbos.
The OMANBALA1 who just said the silliest thing i have ever read since i started following this thread is actually a guy whose post i have always liked in the past and who i respect a lot. But as a tru 'omanbala' (wateva that word means), he has to come and say that he is anambra 1st and igbo 2nd. As If if he goes to lagos..lets see whether he would be called anambraboy or igboboy.

I personally wouldnt have wrote this post...but once in a while u just have to tell someone how they are.

They call their two-faced nature being a 'Yoruba demon'

Fools if u ask me.

Awolowo gave a press confrence in 1967, condemning the planned invasion of the eastern region by gowon, and saying the west would have no part in it...a few weeks later he was offered the post of finance minister....nigga not only joined the invasion, but suggested the blockade and starvation of biafran non-combatants.

In 2007 Tinubu supported atiku under ACN and called Buhari many unprintable names...in 2015 dude is telling nigerians that buhari is a saint and a progressive and that atiku is a criminal.

Two faced fools if u ask me

midolian:
An average aboki, who is not online or does not have access to the internet, upon hearing this, will just laugh

Atiku and Saraki have always been online sensations..

and it is these uninformed abokis that decide for educated men who should lead them.

U see the mess ur dear country is?

Flattino:
One of the coconut trees at my backyard was struck by lightning about one and a half months ago ,so it died and the leaves began to dry up .
Now the dry tree caught fire all by itself . I’m wondering if it was struck again by lightning or an unknown person probably set it on fire ...

i am more concerned with where u live bro.

Is that oshogbo city or ogbomosho blvd?

Or may be that place is hillside las heebadan

I thought all of u fongies come from lagos?
