I don't care about your excuses why Nigeria should remain a shithole. You are only good at coming up with excuses why things won't work when suggestions are made. The population and founding date should be on the sign board.
ID database should be compulsory and Founding date can be estimated.
na wa for you ooo, so all those cities in europe that dont have such signs are shitholes like nigeria too.......even London dont have founding date and population in their sign post.....so London is a shithole tooo.............kid, crawl back to whatever hole you crept out of, YOU NEED A LOT OF EDUCATION, GET ONE BEFORE IT TOO LATE

I've observed most Nigerian cities do not have welcome sign boards with population and founding date . I think that's because of lack of an ID database to know the real population of the cities. It helps when the population and date of establishments are written on the welcome signs .

P.S The Numbers may not be exact.
What you describe happens MOSTLY in USA and its because of the way the cities and towns were founded.....you need to understand the US system to know the significance of especially the date the town/cities was founded......most of those cities run like a business, and in business date of incorporation is essential.......

PoliticsRe: Fact Check : DJ Switch Has Not Been Granted Asylum In Canada by Difrent: 9:02pm On Nov 10, 2020
humilitypays:
My dear brother, I used to believe that Yorubas are enlightened and educated but now I can see that the vultures from the north have politically destroyed the Yoruba wisdom in trying to scare Yorubas into silence.


For those of you who don't understand what transpired, let me help you so you don't allow all these Buhari agents of darkness trying so hard to cover up the evil that happened at Lekki Toll Gate from the international community.


First, so DJ Switch can deceive over 1,000 Nigerians from all tribes gathered at the Lekki Toll Gate on 20th October to say that army were shooting at them even live streaming the event as it unfolded that nighthuh

Even Arise TV presenter was at the scene of that even that night live and broadcasting live to the whole world as it was going on with gun shots being heard in the background.

So all the Yoruba youths present at the toll gate that night who got shot, 2 dived into the lagoon while some soldiers continued to shoot at the waters in an effort to silence them were all IPOB members sent by Nnamdi Kanu to destroy Lagoshuh


Ah, many Yoruba youths don kolo completely to believe these Buhari vultures twist and cover ups lolz, Kai, I never knew Northern almajiris can be smarter than Yorubas to the extent of deceiving and confusing them to deny what they saw and witnessed with their own eyes, na wa oh shocked


No wonder Buhari closed Lagos border and opened all Northern borders where ammunition, rice, militants, frozen foods, etc are smuggled into Northern Nigeria with ease and all the Yoruba elites and politicians cannot even open their mouths and talk, na wa oh.



These Buhari vultures have been desperately looking for ways to give the great #Endsars protest a political and secession tag, they have tried all they can to tag Atiku's name on it, they have tried all they can to rope Biafra into it, something Nnamdi Kanu don't even know about, only tried to shine with it, they are now finally giving Nnamdi Kanu the glory he desperately seek for. These Buhari vultures are the ones making Nnamdi Kanu popular and powerful with their stupidity everyday.

Nnamdi Kanu is a nobody in Igbo land, he can only control few uninformed youths, but these Buhari vultures continue to make him a global star out of their stupidity.


DJ Switch applied for asylum in Canada, ordinarily, every sane person knows that her life is in danger from the night she started making those live streams of that wicked shooting at Lekki Toll Gate and people that loved her life acted quickly to relocate her to safety, of course you don't expect Hausa-Fulanis nor the confused Yorubas who have already been brainwashed by their evil politicians and their paid media agents to twist the Lekki shooting story to ipob to be the ones to save DJ Switch from the coming death from evil Nigerian government and their evil army and Police whom she have exposed. So the only people that can save her at that moment are her own people of course; Igbos don't joke with their own when it comes to life and death under Nigeria, and that brings in Biafrian Association into the scene, they are the only group that can stand with their daughter without selling her out like Yorubas are about selling her by tagging her as an agent of destruction who got hired to destroy Lagos, what a shame.


An ordinary DJ who joined the protest like Falz and every other reasonable Nigerian celebrity. She is a celebrity DJ and used her DJ talent to keep the protest fire burning by jamming good music to keep the protesting youths entertained but here they are roping her in foolishly in line with Buhari vultures wishes, damn, this country can never be good mhen, it's shameful.



In their foolish and half literacy thinking, because Biafrian association appeared on the list of witnesses with a senator from their vulture region also on the list, it means ipob was the people that organizer the #Endsars protest and also Atiku must be involved to ensure his political ambition to expose their evil after 2023 never comes to reality.


They are making every effort to deceive Yorubas into giving up on the great #Endsars protest that even Daddy Adeboye, his wife and most great Yoruba men endorsed. I am so ashamed of the Yoruba youths who have allowed Buhari and his gang of vultures to be taking them for a ride since 2015 angry angry



It seems the only people Northern Nigerians and their politicians fear are the Igbos, reason they must find a way to tag Igbos to every opposition or anything that challenges their evil government or wicked grip on Nigeria's power....they don't even believe that Yorubas can challenge them or question them because they believe Yorubas are liver less, Yoruba una see una lifehuh


#Endsars protest started by Yorubas in Lagos have now been credited to IPOB and Igbos. This says a lot about how Northerners see Yorubas; they see Yorubas as conquered people that cannot question or challenge their authority no matter how bad it is cry

Same as everone knows that Lagos was never part of the SW but part of the Lands of the Badagry and Awori that Yoruba invaders stole. We haven't firgotten history. The true Yoruba territory of the old Oyo empire contributes nothing. Even the Oil producing area of Ondo is Ijaw territory. You said we contribute 5%? Much better than tou guys who contribute nothing, hence why you need 'one Nigeria' to keep funding your owa mbe life style.
the old Oyo empire extended to present day Togo and Benin republic so how can you now say Lagos was not part of yorubaland, the aworis and badagry are Yorubas, they all came from either Ife or Oyo

What you can say was that Lagos was NOT PART OF OLD SOUTHERN PROTECTORATE (pre 1914, it was a separate colony) and WAS NOT PART OF OLD WESTERN REGION , BUT IT IS YORUBALAND .hope you get the difference

PoliticsRe: Abandoned Property; Will History Repeat Itself In Nigeria? by Difrent: 5:05pm On Nov 07, 2020
Tboy1419:
After the Nigeria-Biafra War or Nigerian Civil War of 1967 to 1970, the
erstwhile Nigerian Leader, General Yakubu Gowon declared a policy of
“No Victor, No Vanquished,” but then proceeded to seize the properties of
Igbos in Rivers State, Nigeria. Instead of compensating the people of
Rivers State for the environmental pollution caused by oil exploration, he
decides to compensate them with properties that were legally and
rightfully earned by other Nigerians especially Igbos. This may be the
worst case of talking with out of both sides of your mouth. He should just
have declared that “The Spoils of War Belong to the Victors.” My Kenyan
friend was astonished when I told him that some Nigerians had their
properties seized by the Nigerian Government and sold to other Nigerians
or confiscated by the Government because their side lost in a fratricidal
war. It is like the victorious Yankees confiscating the properties of the
Rebels after the American Civil War. This is unthinkable in a country that
fought to preserve its unity as Nigeria proclaimed in a war slogan, “To
keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done.” Some would argue that the
Indigenes of Rivers State moved into the properties. All a military
government needed to do was to state that anybody found in a property not
belonging to him/ her would be “shot.” Nobody will be actually shot but
fear will keep people away. The Nigerian Government has responsibility
for the welfare of all its citizens. The indigenes of Rivers State would not
have confiscated the properties without the acquiescence of the Nigerian
Government. What prevents the Yorubas and Hausa/Fulanis from doing
the same?
Even more astonishing is the fact that the victims of this injustice did not
take their case to the UN or the World Court. But it is not too late, the
ECOWAS (Economic Commission of West African States) Court can still
step in. Injustice has no statute of limitations. And the world, especially
Britain watched as this political and economic malfeasance unfolded. The
chief actors of the sordid affair are still parading themselves as
Nationalists and include Senator, then Major David Mark (Chief
Auctioneer) and General Yakubu Gowon (Chief Executioner). Some may
say “Let bygones be bygones,” but history is bound to repeat itself. After
the war, every adult Igbo got twenty, I repeat twenty Nigerian Pounds in
lieu of whatever deposit they had in their bank accounts before the
hostilities, in addition to having their property confiscated. This was
followed two years later in 1972, by the The Nigerian Enterprises
Promotion Decrees of 1972, and later 1977 or Indigenization Decrees, that
sold foreign enterprises to Nigerians. Chief Obafemi Awolowo as Vice
President of the Supreme Military Council stood idly by, as the Igbos
were left out of the process. What can you buy with twenty Pounds? But
the Igbos would rebound. A country that hates an enterprising part of itself
can never achieve greatness. The current Buhari Administration is a good
illustration.
Mallam Nasir El Rufai, a onetime Minister of the Abuja Federal Capital
Territory publicly states that Igbos own 80% of the properties in Abuja
but he conveniently forgot to mention that 80% of the land on which
properties stand were awarded to Northerners for a token. These
Northerners turned around to sell the properties to Igbos at highly inflated
prices instead of developing them. Is Mallam Nasir El Rufai not ashamed
that people who were given twenty Pounds less than two decades earlier
arose out of the ashes like the proverbial Phoenix to became major
economic players in Nigeria. Why would the Northerners develop the
properties if they can acquire the developed property by abandonment?
What is good for Rivers State is also good for Kano State, Kaduna State,
Katsina State, Kebbi State, Lagos State, and Abuja. We will make the
Igbos abandon their properties again. Igbos running from the Boko Haram
slaughter in Northern Nigeria are being offered ten kobo for one Naira in
investments in Northern Nigeria. And if you do not sell, we may declare
your property abandoned. In the Southwest of Nigeria, Yorubas are
claiming ownership of the former Federal Capital Territory, Lagos, that
was developed with Nigerian money and Igbo enterprise.
With the present economic and political uncertainties in Nigeria, the Igbos
may soon abandon their properties again in Nigeria. The Igbos need to
start building in their homelands since they are loathed by other
Nigerians. There must be pain before gain. Igboland can become another
Lichtenstein or Luxemborg. Meanwhile to prevent another Abandoned
Property Debacle, the Igbos must push for a public apology by the
Nigerian Government on the issue of Abandoned Property in Rivers State
as well as spearheading a provision in the Nigerian constitution abolishing
Abandonment of Properties by Nigerians in Nigeria. The State of
Massachusetts is still apologizing for labeling people as witches in 2001,
309 years after the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 but Nigerians are labeling
normal children as witches in 2016. The Buhari administration can
apologize for the sordid affair and reclaim some goodwill in the South
East. If Nigerians cannot abandon their property in Britain and America,
why would they abandon them in Nigeria. The Jews are still reclaiming
their “abandoned” properties in Europe. A stitch in time may save trillions
in Properties.
it has been said that never in the history of the world have a people abandoned their own homestead and are "developing" other peoples land like the ibos are doing, they have a world record there......the annoying thing is their tendency to start claiming and dragging other peoples land with them.....what a shameless tribe.....your ancestors were lazy bastards who couldnt found any empire great or small,.......

PoliticsRe: How Issac Adaka Boro And Ken Saro Wiwa Sold Niger Delta To Slavery by Difrent: 11:22pm On Nov 06, 2020
Indigenous:
FLASHBACK:
During the Biafran-Nigerian civil war, there were a few Biafran sons and daughters, who were deceived by the Hausa-controlled Nigerian government and used to fight their fellow Biafrans. Some of them were made to believe that Biafra was dominated by Igbos, who would commandeer all the resources. Isaac Adaka Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa were among the prominent sons who were misguided. They paid dearly for their betrayal of the Biafran Republic with their lives. And for more than fifty years, their kith and kin have suffered the nemesis of the errors of these sons who were misled and betrayed by the Hausas and their Yoruba friends.
Isaac Boro was killed at the peak of the war in controversial circumstances that strongly linked Colonel Benjamin Adenkule to the death, while Ken Saro Wiwa was eventually killed by Sani Abacha, who worked with him during the war, at Bonny. The stories of Isaac Adaka Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa are great lessons for contemporary and potential betrayals of the renewed movement for the restoration of Biafran Republic.
Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro, from Kaiama (in present day Bayelsa State), was born in September 10, 1938 in Oloibiri.
Isaac Boro, while studying Chemistry at University of Nigeria Nsukka became the Student Union President of the University. Despite this support and political patronage he got from his Igbo brothers at the university, Boro led the first revolution of resource control in Nigeria few months after Aguiyi Ironsi became the Head of State of Nigeria.
He formed the Niger Delta Volunteer Force (NDVF), the first armed militia of only Ijaw extraction. On February 23, 1966, Boro and his NDVF declared the Niger Delta Republic. This was the first time any part of Nigeria tried to secede. He believed that the Ijaw people deserved a fairer share of proceeds of the oil wealth than they were getting from the Federal Government.
For twelve days Boro and his militias battled the Federal forces before they were finally defeated by the far superior Federal firepower. Isaac Boro and some of his men were convicted of treason and sentenced to death, but Ironsi out of mercy decided to jail him instead of killing him as demanded by the law.
Isaac Boro Revolution
Isaac Boro Revolution
On the eve of the Biafran-Nigerian war in May 1967, Yakubu Gowon granted him amnesty and drafted him into the Nigerian Army. He was afterwards commissioned as a major in the Nigerian Army. With his army of 1000 Ijaw soldiers he fought alongside Col. Benjamin Adekunle, who was heading the 3rd Marine Commando Division of the Nigerian army. With their deep knowledge of the Niger Delta creeks, Boro and his men guided the federal forces and pushed Biafrans back from the region. Boro fought with the Nigerian forces thinking as they had promised him he was liberating the Niger Delta from Biafran forces. He however never realised he was handing his people and the huge resources in the region into the hands of Hausa-Fulani and Yorubas who pillaged the region for years to come and impoverished his people till date.
Isaac Boro was betrayed by the Nigerian forces he trusted. On May 16, 1968, after a successful battle against Biafran forces at Ogu (near Okrika) in Rivers State, Boro was ambushed by what many of his men then believed was a unit sent by Col Adekunle. In a brief and fierce battle, Adenkunle’s men gunned him down. His death went down in history as mysterious and as there was no conclusive evidence on who killed him.
Strong allegations are rife that treacherous, Adekunle, threatened by Boro’s rising prominence in the Nigerian Army, killed Boro in order to usurp the glories of the success Boro helped the 3 Marine Commando Division to achieve. He wanted to silence Boro as well silence the people of Niger Delta. Subsequent to Boro’s death, Adekunle took all the credits of the successes of the division.
A Regimental Sergeant Major under Boro was quoted as saying that Boro did not die in the heat of battle with the Biafran forces. He said the area had already been captured and secured by his company and Major Boro was on an inspection tour when they came under fire. The type of gunfire that erupted during the firefight that killed Boro was completely different from what the Biafrans were known to use in that sector of the war. This confirmed to them that it was one of the federal troops units that carried out the ambush.
As soon as Boro died, his 1000 band of soldiers was disbanded. According to Olusegun Obasanjo in his book My Command, Adekunle’s post-war political ambition pushed him into killing Boro, as he was using the war to building a ‘formidable’ name for himself. Obasanjo stated that “Col. Adekunle, at this point saw the war not only in terms of crushing a rebellion, but also as a means of building himself up for any future political position or responsibility which he might wish to seek, I knew of people of Western State origin who had felt politically victimized and who saw in Col. Adekunle a saviour and told him so, and he believed them.”
What Boro fought and died for had eluded his people for years. Niger Delta has remained impoverished despite the huge revenue it has continued to generate for the country. Oil fields and mining leases have been allocated to northern oligarchs and friends. Isaac Boro remains a lesson for future revolutionaries in knowing where to pitch their tent.

It's some idiots like modsfucker, difrent, denreledave and ategberoson (They are the ones I can remember) that were busy spreading their useless agenda on nairaland. When the video was already viral and you can hear the thugs all speaking Yoruba. Don't be surprised, Fools must always behave like fools and as long as the world exists we will continue to have fools like all those idiots I listed up there.
you are always quick to be spokesperson for other tribes when your tribe and region is a joke, fix your region and your useless leaders before coming to talk on matters concerning yorubaland.....you are republicans yes, you are traders yes, you are and can be whatever but STOP BEIGN JEALOUS OF THE YORUBAS BECAUSE JEALOUSY AND ENVY IS THE BASIS OF ALL YOUR ASSESSMENT OF THE YORUBAS, get real before you kill yourself for another person matter

Even till this moment, the world is yet to understand the deadly nature of authority and organized military.

Ancient igboland had no centralized government, no military and nothing like authority.

Look at the world with it's central governments and military. Look at how politicians are ruthlessly fighting to get to capitals like abuja, London, washington etc, Look at how politicians use the military to oppress the people.

The igbos were far ahead of their time.
sounds like " igbo founding fathers were cowards that couldnt build any great empire........they should be ashamed
