Gbam! A man that was able to attract projects from the federal government worth millions(if not billions) of Naira for Ndi Idemili even as a private citizen. The man/Guy is just an enigma.

Udopasa:
Unfortunately, this time, Chidoka cannot rig with Federal might. I can confidently tell you that Obinna Chidoka is a goner already.

Printerscanner:
I hope you are not a female as you said in your i.d. because any man that marries a woman like you is the world's most unfortunate man.

lionjungle3000:
Igbos, what is wrong with Yoruba you don't want them? Pls accept them

milemimi93:
what do SE states have to offer?

They are bloody leeches who depend on other states to live...

We don't give a flippy damn about SE.

Whether SE vote PMB or not, PMB will win.

Don't forget that there's a state in the North that is larger than the whole five states in SE.

Igbo will never smell the seat of the presidency in Nigeria and they will never have Biafra..

tayebest:
This one needs a quick rehab. Money and greediness has made a tumor in his brain. I don't know when Niger Delta start clamouring for Biafra. nonsense

Obi1kenobi:
Please, don't. I've read enough to know when I'm wasting my time with a delusional comedian.

Obi1kenobi:
You can insist whatever you like. You're just delusional.
Sports? They've produced Anthony Joshua.
Politics? They've produced Nigeria's finest political mind in Awolowo, and 2 elected Presidents in Abiola and Obasanjo.
Education? They've produced the only Nigerian, or even black Nobel prize winner (not counting the Peace prize) in the world.
I'm not even sure what you mean by economy or technology. They have richer industrialists for sure and Ogun state is Nigeria's industrial capital. Your reaction here is exactly why Anambrarians need to be cut to size. Such a bunch of noisemaking, loudmouth chestbeaters.

Obi1kenobi:
Oba Otudeko was born in Oyo, but is an indigene of Odogbolu in Ogun state. And he is wealthier than any Anambra billionaire talk more of Adenuga that is in a different class. You can claim as many billionaires as you want. It's empty chest-beating.

Obi1kenobi:
I didn't even say it to troll or offend anyone, but this Ogun tin pain una well, well.

Obi1kenobi:
Plenty of fact-free empty chest-beating nonsense? Oba Otudeko alone is far richer than any Anambra billionaire, talk more of Adenuga, and you're here rambling about Innoson. The only people in that list that belong in the same sentence with Awolowo, Fela, Soyinka, Obasanjo or Abiola are Zik, Achebe and maybe Ojukwu. Again, it's my opinion that Ogun have produced the most accomplished people in the history of Nigeria. You're free to believe what you want. I don't know why your hyperventilating and foaming in the mouth about my opinion.

Obi1kenobi:
You're comparing entirely different things. State and clan parochialism exists among groups. It is worst among Igbos. As I said Bianca Ojukwu, a woman who married an Anambra man and had Anambra children had her Anambrarian identity questioned because some clowns were supporting Ifeanyi Ubah. You must also have missed the part where I said Igbos are peaceful, so what's the point telling me they don't kill themselves. That has nothing to do with Igbo unity, but a general value Igbos attach to life, unlike our Northern brethren or the oft-violent political unrests in the SW and SS. Yorubas culturally and politically are a more united bloc than Igbos. I'd consider this in realm of empirical fact when observing Nigerian socio-politics. Their institutions like their royal fathers and socio-cultural groups like Afenifere wield more influence among them and their Yoruba identity trumps their religion.

And let's stop kidding ourselves. I didn't make my observations because one or two Igbo people on here embarrass themselves. Nairaland is a big community with over a million members and in many ways is a microcosm of wider society. And Igbos here exhibit the greatest internal strife by far. More than all other groups combined. It does play out in wider Igbo interactions and it's also exhibited when Igbos are trading barbs with SS Igboid groups. Why is it that no Hausa or Yoruba groups have this identity crisis? Why always Igbos. To say it's because of "jealousy" like someone asserted earlier is exactly the problem. Ogun people are an incredibly accomplished people. I'd say they're the only state whose indigenes are more accomplished than Anambrarians. I have never in my life seen a thread where Ogun people are insulting Ekiti or Kwara or Kogi people about how superior they are. Anambrarians do it all the time to their fellow Igbos. They are well-known braggarts. And until we cure that illness of arrogance, it's going to keep reflecting poorly on us and other Igbo groups in the SS would always be wary of us.

Yomit71:
don't be deceived, she's definitely Igbo. go see them for yourselves. Igbo's can do anything to get money when money is their god

SarakiBukola:


Biafura Olosho go jam Yoruba Demon fortitied with Agbo jedi

Basher8583:
Oga.. please focus on your tribe that are daily executed abroad over drug related issues. Abi how SW politics take concern you

BabaRamota1980:
This need correction.



Zik was not a founding member of NCNC, though he later ascended to become its leader after which he steered it into becoming an ethnic platform.

Yyeske:
Who are the 'they' you are referring to? Orji Uzor Kalu said something and you are blaming 'they', why not contact him firsthand?
One of yours on this thread had already said that IPOB knows his location and are not looking for him so what are you saying again?

BabaRamota1980:
"Our daughter" syndrome.

Yorubas are ahead of you. If these were your village elders after inhaling snuff they would put on red caps and issue press statement....she is our daughter, Nigerians are jealous of her achievements.

Ikenna0b:
This was exactly where the argument began. It's clear as daylight which comments from ofodirinwa was getting addressed the most.

You can deny it all you want. Anyone can see what's was the trigger.
Secondly, Anioma was what was mentioned, not Ika. Likewise, the Ikwerre that said they are Igbos were equally the ones called opportunites. Infact, none would even care if this was just a once awhile thing but no, it's becoming an everyday thing with una. Yesterday if I recall correctly someone made a topic on the richest Igbos in imo state and on fucking page 1 it was derailed by an Anambra person. Yeah Chino crazy ass took up up on it and argued with himself for 25 pages straight but still damn. I actually think I speak for all Igbos when I say we are tired of the discussion of who's igbo and who's not. Anambra vs every igbo state nonsense. It's becoming redundant.
