Wasn't he a Yoruba demon who perpetuated atrocities against innocent ndiigbo citizens in d civil war? Answer me

Not a single Igbo among them? As usual, the southeast governors would keep quiet. Efulufus.

ThinkSmarter:
He is saying the truth, Lagos and Rivers have ports, but the people that pays the necesarry tax like custom duty, import duty, export, environmental,etc are mostly Igbos and Hausas from the hinterlands who are mostly into importation, exportation, manufacturing and trade that are mostly from Kano, Anambra, Borno, Abia, Kaduna, Imo, etc

We south south don't need south west to grow

Can it survive without ndiigbo? These benin republic port are being patronised majorly by ndiigbo.85% of goods imported into Nigeria through tincan and apapa warf are ndiigbo.75% of building structures in Lagos are owned by ndiigbo which ndiigbo provides majority of land use charge for Lagos.And the list goes on.Lagos cannot survive without ndiigbo take it or leave it

Bicycles are seen as an essential means of transportation in most European countries and Asian countries and some few countries in America and Africa,not that they don't have cars but they see it as a faster means of moving within the city..But still don't understand why people here don't adapt the method... Here in Nigeria if you ride bicycle on major roads people just keep staring at you because they don't see it as common thing. Some even see it as a sign of poverty, everyone wanna drive exotic cars so they can get noticed...


What people don't Know is that bicycle is actually a faster means of transportation to move within a city rather than waiting all day long in your car stucked in traffic. A journey you Would spend 2hrs With your car stucked in traffic you would spend less than an hour with a bicycle..

I strongly think Nigerians should adopt this method most especially in Lagos.. fancy cars is not everything.. bicycle saves time and it's cheaper to afford..if we adopt this method I can tell you traffic would drastically reduce in Lagos and Nigeria as a whole

Only Igbo fools who wanted to be fooled were fooled by Femi Fani-Kayode.

In the political leadership of Nigeria, the Yorubas can never support. the Igbos against the Hausas.

Without the Yorubas in the Nigerian Armed Forces, Biafra would have defeated Nigeria.
Biafran forces overran the Midwest and captured Ore and were heading to Lagos until the Yoruba military commanders repelled the advancement of the Biafran army.
Winning the civil war cemented the political solidarity and unity of Yorubas and Hausas to rule Nigeria in turns.
Nothing has changed.

The agitators of Biafra are only jeopardizing the political future of Igbos in the nation building of a New Nigeria
Terrorising Igbos to support the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is undemocratic and primitive.
Majority of Igbos would prefer to be leaders in a united Nigeria, the most powerful black nation in the world to being leaders in a small nation called Biafra.
The questionable intellectually challenged leaders and followers of IPOB need to study political science and military intelligence, because they have shown that are emotionally immature and intellectually insecure in their attitudes. That is why majority of Igbos have to be forced to sit at home like sheep in a ranch.

PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO (OBJ) TREATMENT & COMING 2023

In the whole 8years of OBJ's administration he did not see a single Hausa/Fulani northerner worthy of appointment as Service Chief, IGP or DG (DSS). Victor Malu, Martin Luther Agwai, Jonah Wuyep, Luka Yusuf, Ibrahim Ogehi, then IGP Tafa Balogun, Musliu Smith, Sunday Ehindero, Mike Okiro up to the DG (DSS) Col. Aare (rtd), were his selected appointees to oversee our security architecture.

Where appointments were to be made from Kano or Sokoto (whole seat of Chaliphate) he would look for the Adamu Baikis, the Solomon Matankaris who are indegenous Christians of the area. If Hausas/Fulanis complained, Obj’s response was, “all the appointees were your people, brothers from the North”. Of course they were; he even used sme tactics to play a very dangerous divide and rule politics with northerners; his arrow - headmen, Jerry Gana & Solomon Lar were part and parcel of the Villa cabals, members of his kitchen cabinet who determined most appointment made by the government Agencies. Google all the very sensitive position then, there was no single Hausa or Fulani there. CBN, Joseph Sanusi later Soludo. Custom Buba Gyan, NNPC Edmund Dakoru, to mention just a few.

Never forget that OBJ flushed out more than 500 soldiers of Northern extraction, from the ranks of Major and above, who held political appointments during the past military administrations, including orderlies and ADCs. Those who survived his hammer, like Bamalli Nuhu were assembled and bombed in the mountainous region; between Benue and Cross River States.

Obasanjo’s civil service reform were mainly targeted at northerners who mostly, (80%) became victims; from NEPA,Maritime, NPA and Aviation etc. Northerners were major casualties. Similarly all the replacements that followed were from his kiths and kins, and his god sons.

Prior to 1999, more than 15 international airlines operate or had their routes to Kano, but Obasanjo made sure he decimated that to only 3 before he left. Very very fresh in our memories is how he stylishly killed all the Northern textiles, groundnuts and cotton pyramids as well as many other agronomic economies; particularly the poultry using the hoax claim of “birds flu” conspiracy that obliterated all major players in the sector, from northern region. He also deliberately opened our boarders for the importation of all kinds of agricultural goods, which tactically killed virtually all local industries in Kano, Kaduna, Gusau to mention just a few. He stated and ensured DIC and Peugeot and Steyr plants became comatose.virtually all critical northern enterprises were put out of business with deadly attendant consequences.

For example, in Kano alone there were more than 5000 factories / industries located in Challawa, Bompai and Sharada industrial estates. Before Obj’s tenure ended he made sure 80% of those factories folded up, and the remaining 20% were operating at half level, below minimal capacities due to his well designed, well executed, skewed economic policies.

Remember the housing, monetization and privatisation policies he used our people to execute? This program was conceptualised and well executed to basically empower his kiths and Kins to owned choice properties in Abuja and Lagos. The privatisation was used to catapult cronies and surrogates, as well as God sons, into multi-billionaires. People like Mike Adenuga, Fola Adeola, Jimoh Ibrahim, Jim Ovia, Chris and the Andy Ubahs, to mention just a few.

Most of these people were, prior to 1999, using night buses to & fro Lagos/Abuja. Incidentally within a span of short period, all were flying private jets,while the country, North in particular was rapidly sliding backwards. One can continue on and on; why the north and northerners tolerated all that, only God knows.

The current clamor for self determination by some states from previous regions are nothing but blackmails that, to me, are dead on arrival. Rather than experiencing the Obj treatment again, it suffices if every single region go its separate way. The north can not afford to make the 1999 blunder again. Democracy is a game of numbers; anybody who thinks he/she is competent to lead us should come out and contest. The north is not ready to concede to any blackmail.
