Igbos open threads asking what Yorubas contribute to national treasury, Yorubas will invade the thread trying to prove they are hardworking and contribute more than Igbos.


Yorubas open threads questioning what Igbos contribute to national treasury, Igbos will invade the thread listing haven and earth that they contribute even those they don't to make sure they are more hardworking than the Yorubas.

Niger Delta nay South South that contribute 80% to the national coffers will sit by the side smiling and feeling like bosses for contributing more than both SE and SW combine to the national coffers so are.

Now the question is what does the North contribute.

North have the highest number of states.
North have the highest number of LGs.
North have the highest number of wards.
North have the highest number of senators.
North have the highest of representatives.
North is the president, North is the senate president, North is the speaker, North is the CJN, North is the president court of Appeal, North dominate the civil service and force.

What is the North contributing to the National coffers?

Go to where Northerners sell their foodstuffs in the East, after selling they will deposit the money in FirstBank or Unity Bank and jump the next available trailer to Kano.

Go to where Northerners are selling livestocks in Lagos, after selling they will deposit the money in Unity Bank and jump into the next available truck to Yobe.

Go to where Northerners are selling scrap metal in south south after selling they will deposit the money in FirstBank and jump into any available 911 to Kaduna.

Food being sold in Nigeria are 72% costlier than what is obtainable is smaller West Africa nations, most foods the North produced they enjoy mouthwatering subsidized farm inputs and fertilizers but they won't sell to Nigerians at subsidized rates.

Juxtapose Southern and Northern Nigeria and see that modern day slavery has evolved to something else.
Southerners are slaves to the North, no disputing that, playing the cashcow and the beast of burden at the same time- even Devil will pity at the height of una stupiidity.

Yea yellow sissy.... Am investinh 2 million naira in lagos...I am a legitimate hustler. You can see where I said that you should come back in the next five years.... Lets see if I have not built a company. Not a drug lord. So, I cant boast of what I dont have.

Two million Naija property in lagos....are u sure u are not referring to Abakaliki....

Balkan:
Remember that lagos was former Nigeria capital. The status of Lagos was the reason why you have more attention than any state in Nigeria. Lagos was built with the money from SS/SE. that is why its known as no mans Land.

Igbos own Lagos properties. Yorubas are now running to ogun state where they can afford.

Ask El Rufi the Owners of Abuja Today. we have been destined to take over your land. We are land locked in the East thats is true.
The weakest people in nigeria we can annex is the Yorubas.
The agenda is really working
You cant stop a moving train or you get crushed.

Dunce....were both lokoja and also Calabar not also one time capital......can you compare them to lagos.....even abuja that has been capital for about thirty years.....does it compare to lagos.......funny enough......Nigeria has had four capitals since its creation and none has ever been sited in the land of the Igbos...... ...I wonder why....

It must be enshrined in our constitution......to expel recaltrant and non productive members.......like the flat.heads....

#So Ondo state produces oil more than the south east, does it mean that the quantity being sold from the south east is not account for and used in developing Nigeria? You need to broaden your horizon bro there is more out there than punching the Keyboards.

Who buys the great chunk of all the Agric stuffs the North produces?

The North produces yam,vegetables,goats,etc, South east are the major buyers, the north don't eat it. So buying what they don't eat and business, dont you see the contribution to commerce and economy? though i doubt you will see it. Mind you before Amalgamation the South east didn't die of hunger or malnourished. I don't know were you folks get this weird idea that without the North south-East wont eat.


The eco-hub the southwest likes to Tag themselves is LAGOS which happens to be one state in the geopolitical zone...we all know the story of Lagos. The wharf, seaport, airport, markets etc, we all know who uses it more.So speaking of inconsequential, one out of six is what?

@OP...whats really the motive of this thread...You need a hubby...IMO

see muumuu.....so only iboes buy yam..onions..potatoes...vegetables...goats etc

ikechu1278:
Dimwit you're an illiterate. The your stupid ass think being manager of a white created and own company is now yoloba? Lmfaoooo. Sorry for you losers. The top 20 companies, if we focus on just the Nigerians, Yoruba still are least.

While I'm at, there is no such thing as a "Deltan tribe". I'm Igbo from delta likewise Jim ovia, etc. You worthless tribe are so keen as associating any delta igbo that does well as "delta" but when you loser tribe want to attack us, like NOI, YOU IMMEDIATELY remember na igbo.

Savage ass monkey. Read it and weep. Yoloba still the least in all 20 companies of Nigeria. Without whites, you people are complete backwards

Jim Ovia is from Benin not iboe.... ....even their king said that....

O my God, I jusst discovered something. Lets not make this about Regions again. Lets make it this way:

What does the Great Jews of Africa.... Umu Chukwuabiama contribute to the Nigerian economy?

What does the Basstard Yoruba nation contribute to he nation?

What does their eternal slave masters: The Hausa Fulani contribute to the nation?

Stupid OP FYI, I have intentions to buy up properties in lagos worth 2 million naira very soon. This will be my first time of investing outside Biafra. Come back in 5 years time and see what I have turned the business to! We are buying up lagos including the palace of Oba akiolu. You can't do shyt about it!

Two million Naira properties in lagos Is that a house or a pit latrine.....

I don't think any section is marginalized here. The right time to conclude a section has bn marginalized is when the president must hav made @ least 70% of his appointments.

The problem with the igbos is that they over-react outta impatience and selfishness. And to be very frank about this, it is really annoying. We have so many other tribes in Nigeria but never will u hear any other than the igbo crying of marginalization. Why is it so?

Now they ve bn giving NNPC GMD slot(the juiciest of the appointments made so far) and they are still shouting. Nobody has said that slot will be the only slot for them..so why the noise? Why can't they wait to see what will happen next?

Solution is a compulsory deportation.....of d biafraudians back to the erosion filled land....... ...ungrateful...non producing...wretches...

Buhari is wasting his time........these people are not Nigerians....... ...

HISTORY OF IKWERRE PEOPLE

Amadi-Nna (1993) added that: “The Ikwerres are a small
but distinct tribe. The Ikwerres have distinct linguistic,
social and cultural traits and formations that distinguish
them from other close neighbouring tribes like the Ijaws
and the Ibos. Majority of the Ikwerre settlements have their
roots traceable from the old Benin Empire.” Iwhnurọhna
people descended from the ancient Bini Kingdom. The
name of the grand ancestor is Akalaka. Their relations in
Rivers State are Ekpeye and Ogba people. The reigning Oba
of Benin when Akalaka, the ancestor of Ihruọha (later called
Iwhnurọhna) fled was Oba Ewuare (Ogwaro). Akalaka, a
member of the Benin royal family, fled in the 13 th century
on allegation of plotting assassination of the Oba. He died
in 1462. Iwhnurọhna his third son settled east of the
Sombrero River by 1538 AD, as detailed below.
Chief N.M.T. Solomon (2004), native of Ikodu Ubie in
Ekpeyeland, in his narrative draws heavily from the now
authenticated written historical records delivered by
various informed sources including “Eketu (Weber) of
Ubeta, assumed to have lived for over two hundred (200)
years as the oldest man in all Ekpeye, Ogba and
Iwhnurọ hna (or Ikwerre), at that time (and) was asked to
narrate the history and customs of Ekpeye people” as
unfolded in his lifetime. Here is what he said, which has
been validated by the accounts of the current generation
through responses to our questionnaires and direct
interviews thereby increasing our level of confidence on the
data:
Ekpeye, born in Benin, was the first of the three sons of
Akalaka. While in Ndoni, he married a second wife to gain
the love and favour of the people. The new wife gave
birth to a son, which he named Ogba. Akalaka was still in
Ndoni when his first wife, the mother of Ekpeye, gave
birth to his third son called Ihruoha (Ikwerre).
Similar historical fact by J.N. Olise (1971) averred that:
“Akalaka, a member of the Benin royal family, fled with his
wife from Benin to Ndoni, a community located close to the
River Niger, to save the life of his new born baby (Ekpeye)
… While at Ndoni, Akalaka took a second wife. … Akalaka
had two sons, Ekpeye – born to him by his Benin wife, and
Ogba – born to him by his Ndoni wife. According to F.E.
Otuwarikpo (1994): " After the death of Akalaka in 1462 AD,
his two sons, Ekpeye and Ogba had conflict, which
compelled Ogba, the younger son, to move northwards
where he founded Ohiakwo (Obigwe) and settled with his
family. Ekpeye who remained at Ula-Ubie had seven sons
– Ubie, Akoh, Upata, Igbuduya, Ekpe, Awala and Asa. The
last three sons – Ekpe, Awala and Asa – crossed to the
other side of Sombreiro River (present day Ikwerreland and
settled there since 1538 AD.” He added that: “Ekpe
migrated to present day Rumuekpe and spread through
Elele (Alimini), Ndele, Rumuji and part of Ibaa. Awala
migrated to present day Isiokpo …”
Amadi-Nna (1993) also said Akalaka migrated with his half
brother called Ochichi from the area of Benin Empire.
Ochichi sons were Ele (Omerele, now Elele), Elu (Elumuoha,
now Omerelu), Egbe (Egbeda) and Mini (Alimini, Isiokpo).
The crucial point here, which is of great importance in
tracing the joint origin of the ancestors of the Old Ahoada
Division (in the Governor Diete-Spiff administration), is the
mention of the number of children that Akalaka had, namely:
Ekpeye, Ogba and Ihru ọ ha (Ikwerre). It is noteworthy that
the pedigree and name of Ikwerre people, Iwhnurọhna,
obviously took its root from this original name – Ihruọha.
Chief Solomon therefore establishes a very vital historical
link, which has been missing in literature on Ikwerre origin
that would assume more significance in the discourses of
Ikwerre genealogy in the future – the fact that Akalaka was
the direct father of Ihru ọha (Ikwerre). Iwhnurọhna, in Ikwere
parlance, means the face of the community (town, city or
village).
Nigerian colonial history records that the name "Ikwerre"
was given by the colonial administration when they wanted
to acquire the Rebisi waterfront to build the wharf. Using an
Ibo interpreter to talk to the illiterate Rebisi (Port Harcourt)
chiefs, they asked them: Would you permit us to use the
waterfront to build the wharf for ships to berth? And they
answered: A KWERULEM , meaning - "We have agreed."
What the white-man was hearing was "Ikwerre," so he
recorded it in the official gazette that the IKWERRE PEOPLE
have agreed for the colonial administration to build the
wharf. And since it was the official record of government,
the name Ikwerre became the name of the Iwhnurohna
people in all official documentations till date.
Similar cases of Anglicization of native names in the Niger
Delta region by the colonial administration are Benin for
Bini, Okrika for Wakrike, Degema for Udekema, Abonnema
for Obonoma, Brass for Gbara sni, Bonny for Ibani, Pepple
for Perekule, Ahoada for Ehuda, etc
Even so, “… there were dissenting voices, … who believed
that Ikwerre origins lay outside Igbo land, … in the Benin
Kingdom of old. It is, therefore, obvious that the
interminable debate about Ikwerre origins and migrations
including the repudiation of the Igbo tradition is not a
phenomenon of the post-civil war period. The controversy,
as it were, is not necessarily the product of the present
political realities wherein groups which hitherto were seen
to have cultural affinities now find themselves in different
states or administrative systems.” -- K.O. Amadi (1993)
The Ogbakor Ikwerre Convention, a cultural organization of
Ikwerre people, in a paper presented to the Human Rights
Violation Commission headed by Rtd. Justice Chukwudifu
Oputa on 10 October 2001, said: “Ikwerre ethnic
nationality is not and has never been a sub-group of any
other tribe in Nigeria including Ndi-Igbo. There is no
doubt that the advent of the British and later
regionalization put Ndi-Igbo at the helm of affairs in
Eastern Nigeria. This brought Ndi-Igbo into Ikwerre land.
In course of time, the Igbo took advantage of their
position in the then Eastern Regional Government to grab
land in Ikwerre and occupy political positions such as the
mayor of Port Harcourt. In the process, Ikwerre along with
other minority groups were marginalized and driven to the
background.”
Professor Godwin Tasie noted that in 1913 the Rt Rev
Herbert Tugwell, the Anglican Bishop on the Niger,
undertook an experimentation tour of Ikwerre towns and
villages assumed to be Ibo-speaking to test the Union Ibo
Bible Nso being introduced in Iboland. "Tugwell discovered
from the tests he carried out that although the Ikwerre
were often regarded as Ibo… the Union Ibo Bible
translation, surprisingly, was not easily understood by the
Ikwere." This is obviously why Igbo vernacular was
compulsorily introduced and taught in all schools in
Ikwerreland before the Nigerian Civil War to the
assimilation (i.e. destruction) of the Ikwere language.
This also obviously led to the Rumuomasi Declaration in
1965. " … in their meeting at Rumuomasi in 1965 the
Ikwerre had, under the umbrella of a highly promising new
body that was to get the Ikwerre together as a people of
new and clearer vision, they had declared themselves as a
people of the distinct identity of Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality
- not Ibo, not Ijo, not anything else but Ikwerre,
Iwhnurọhna. This was the historic Rumuomasi Declaration
of 1965 (G.O.M. Tasie, 2000). The full implication is that
Ikwere people began to assert themselves forcefully as an
ethnic nationality of their own and not Ibos or Ijos, and
efforts were made to revert to the original Ikwere names for
families, villages, communities and landmarks. For
instance, there was the change from Umuola to Rumuola ,
Umuoro to Rumuoro , Umukrushi to Rumuokwurusi , just to
name a few.

Whether some groups like it or not, centralism will soon give way to fiscal federalism.
The major reason why USSR collapsed in late 1980s was not because of lack of good leadership. Heck USSR had some of the worlds's toughest leaders at that time. It was simple because the Communist centralisation of economic activities was totaly inefficient and unsustainable. That period saw many republics opting out of the Union without a single shot fired.
Nigeria's current economic structure is unsustainable and will soon go the way of Russia.

I agree.....intoto.......let each region manage its resources and.....we will all see where the flat.heads will end.....
