Birdbyrde440:
Igbo leadership and igbos holding key positions in the 60s is what led to igbo pogrom. Use your brain and drop pride from your life.

The 50s- mid 60s were the golden age of Nigeria

Everyone agrees to that fact

Raskimonojendor:
We did not want the FCT. British government forced it on us. Even Awolowo said the western region could help finance their capital elsewhere.

Chai! That's how you rejected being called Yoruba one time because it was given to you by Fulanis now you're answering it


You guys didn't reject nothing

Akinomoakin021:
Local Governments that were former FCT (Km2)
Lagos Island-8.7
Eti-Osa-192
Apapa-27
Lagos Mainland-19
Total-246.7 Km2

Total Lagos state landmass-3577km2

246.7/3577*100=6.9 percent

About 7 percent of Lagos State Landmass was former FCT. Others were part of old Western Region

You can never deny the effect of 77 years federal capital


77 years is not moi moi

Pakute:
ipobs sef, all this una "my uncle told me" bullshit, does it makes sense to you?. Nigerian army captured the eastern region, Asaba fell, Enugu fell, Onitsha fell, they all fell and you are here talking crap.










u

How did they fall ?

If you realise how small SE is you'll know how resilient our soldiers were to keep invaders off for 3 years .



The fact that you guys can't fix Nigeria really justified my people who wanted to be on Thier own


See as Una reduce Nigeria to vegetable less than 60 years

Nigerian pound issued in 1962 then was worth more than both British pound and American dollar and yes Igbos dominated strategic positions then things were going


People always remember Nigeria glory in the past and forget to acknowledge people who were behind it . Ahmadu Bello became worried not because of nepotism but excellence


Fast forward to the early 2000s Nigeria was doing absolutely well when the likes of okonjo iweala and soludo were doing thier things.

Everyone blamed emefiele naira fell from 780 to 1300 less than a year when frivolous spenders of Nigeria came on board.


We are watching we'll increase the price of our goods to Ballance things up .

Everyone is watching who the real enemies are

if you're reading this and you voted APC na Ogun and Amadioha go strike you

Pakute:
We were feeding you 2yrs into the war until we blocked all the food channels foff our territory because Ojukwu was found out to be diverting the supplies for his army while civilians die. Ojukwu was so wicked to his biafran kinsmen that he outrightly refused foreign supplies for the dying biafrans just for his ego and media propaganda.

See lie na


Are you even listening to yourself


Biafra war was faught using hunger tactics

On level ground federal troops had difficulty fighting Biafra soldiers because alot of the majors and experienced soldiers were from the east
Infact military to military Nigeria were severely beaten they had to bomb markets , civilian populated areas and farms
They resorted to blockade starve out the soldiers

You don't tell me history of my people. Both documented and told by my Dad who was a veteran of both NA and BA

Pakute:
Stfu with your lies, which destruction did you witness?, tell us. What were those facilities that were destroyed?, schools, hospitals, markets, airports, banks, office buildings, hotels, houses?..mention them, show us pictures!. Stop lying through your teeth everydamn time. Nigeria was still feeding you during the war 6months before the end of the war. you think that's a serious war?. is isreal sending foods to palestine?. Trash!

Bombing of farmlands Market places

3 years is not three months

Even if you stocked your home it won't last

People literally faught on empty stomach


Hunger was used as weapon

There was blockades

And yes the so called supplies were sent around 68

No wise leader will accept gifts from his enemy

We didn't accept any of your gifts . Stop lying


I would respect anyone who put up a fight when their existence is in question

googi:
Even before Ahmed Baba, YoOba were known as MojiRoba, OmoOba, YiOba o, YioriOba, etc

Too many lexicon about and around OBA to make others see or hear them as YORUBA.

Only Americans use gonna gonna.

Fulani did not name Yoruba, they repeated what they heard the same way as Ahmed Baba before they ever got in contact with Yoruba.

You go explain tire


You're bearing a given name

So

Pakute:
Yoruba have the largest number in the US,UK, Canada of any tribe from Nigeria. They don't migrate to barren region where its resident run away like war refugees.

Go and tell that to your brothers stuck as refugees in Benin


We have huge number in , Macao, Japan, China, Korea, New Zealand, Australia.

You're talking as if UK,US and Canada are the only countries outside Africa. And if you check the gap isn't even much

Even in Germany there are lot of Igbos there
And yes I agree there are more Yorubas in France


Like or not Igbos are by far the most travelled both within Nigeria and overseas


Within Nigeria Yorubas are the least travelled

mrvitalis:
When you don't have godfathers and riggers to repay you would have more than enough to work that's the simple truth


If God Father's made Otti governor he won't perform this well that's what most people don't get

true

Nonny95:
Yet they know everything from their huts and mud houses in Ilaje😂

And Beere Ibadan

Igbos bad leadership role? Dominate who? What are you guys scared of? Or is it low self esteem?



What was Nigeria economy like in the 60s when igbo held strategic positions? Then, Nigeria pound was almost same with pounds even more than dollars then


What is Nigeria economy like now over 50 years of your "good leadership"

Talk about lying in broad daylight

Nonny95:
Shut down which economy? Lmao. This one never cross Benin Sagamu before 😂😂😂

Simon Ekpa Twitter post is your source of info😂😂. See Mûmu.

Today you have changed your mouth that Yorubas are the highest importers in Nigeria. If we accuse you of killing the naira now, you will shift to Igbos are the highest importers. Dangling like Penis

Very untravelled people

Amazing may God continue to uplifting him

Igbo Amaka

I'm walking on one now

SeeWahala:

Lagosians sent a message across

Helgreenluv:

Stfp!

Unpatriotic goons!

Aldol:
If those hardcore tribalists try a combo of Amala and Abula(beans soup with ewedu) with all the varieties of assorted meat,their life will never remain the same again

You'll still hate them !

It shows igbos are by far the least tribalists

Those organising the amala event are they not Igbos?

Where's the tribalism?


Reno should be locked up asap

Anambra1stSon2:

Technocrats my ass

YorubaKinging

Timothy89:
I served in Nnewi North, if I no grow from street these criminals would have mess me up during service at Onitsha and the second was when I travelled for my traditional marriage at Umuahia


southwest no get thugs, I swear. southwest thugs go still describe roads for you without trailing you, no make mistake to ask igbo thugs or youth road in their states, them go trail you. make sure the person you're visiting is coming to pick you or sleep at the park if you get there late



these people are bloody criminals

They learnt it from SW

Mbanda:
Is that the good news OP asked for? Or is it IPOB that wrecked your economy and caused inflation in your beloved country?

I don't know why you people are worrying yourselves

1M+ of Thier kids are out of school

They have been the ones protesting about hardship



Why are you guys even worrying yourselves

Karma always deals with them

Catapault:
Because whenever I'm on social media, 99% of attacks on Nigeria I read are by Igbos.

So it's a fair bet you're one of them.

If you aren't, you have my sincerest apologies.

PTSD

Go and meet a therapist o

gratefulheart:
I like this.

Soludo is eliminating Bitter Obi thugs that help Bitter Obi rigged the last election.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

You're right they even killed someone on election Day

Injured a woman


Prevented yorubas and those that look like them from voting during election

Catapault:
Even IF Tinubu Was A 'Drug Lord', SO WHAT?

I mean, the way people talk about this 'drug lord' business..

Even if as a young man Tinubu dealt in drugs, that was a long time ago, and he was never convicted of any offence.

So WHY EXACTLY should that be held over his head?

I mean, the dude was Governor of Lagos state, and by all accounts, the best governor they ever had by an absolute mile, under whom the state, from anonymity, became the 5th largest economy in Africa.

If it takes a drug dealer to do that, then give us more drug dealers, please.

The previous 'SAINTS' who had led Lagos state into the gutter included military governors installed by dictators, and utterly useless civilian successors, apart from maybe Jakande and Marwa who tried a little.

Then came the JAGABAN.

Bobo Chicago.

City Boy.

Next thing you know, the entire Lagos State becomes a huge construction site, in an infrastructure drive that continues till today, with Lagos State racing far ahead of the rest of the country, under a succession of carefully selected technocrat leaders.

If it takes a former drug lord from Chicago to do that, and to teach you fcking moro.ns how to GOVERN YOURSELVES, so be it.

If Tinubu can replicate proportionally even HALF the success he achieved in Lagos state, as President of Nigeria, it would be worth it, and the entire nation will feel the difference.

So take all that drug bullshiit and GTFOH.

You're so slow no be lie


What a dunce!
