Good morning, my dear friends.

Now let's reason together and think about my counter views on Igbo bashing as expressed below;

But ask yourself, did the Igbos put guns on anybody's head before buying up Alaba, Ajegunle, isolo and Oshodi in Lagos.

Did they use juju before the Ibadan surrendered Iwo Road to them?

And what were we looking at before the Igbos took over Isida and Adeti in Ilesa.

Where were the YORUBAS when the Igbos thrived and built 90% of the Hotels at Abuja. Was there a law that excluded the YORUBAS from selling building materials? Dei Dei building materials market in Abuja is 90 % Igbo owned.

So the more we point one finger at the Igbos, the more we have the other four fingers pointing at our laziness and lack of initiative as a society.

The YORUBAS should have been better with all our education,, but we may be worse that the Fulanis who just roam around the bush.

Why? Because we lack the entrepreneur ship spirit. We just want salaries from doing 8 to 5 job. We proceed in foolishness and we persist in hoping to reap plenty without showing hard. The Igbos are different, hence we are now jealous and envious

We love wasteful parties and Aso Ebi. Just a little business without even making any profit yet, we usually call musicians to spay money like coffetti .

Where are all the Board Members of Ebenezer Obey today? Where is lawyer Omoyinmi and Lanre Badmus? Where is Oroki Social Club of Osogbo? Where is Felates of Ilesa and the likes whose trade mark was to bring Sunny Ade to Ilesa every Xmas, to waste all income garthered for the year?

The Yoruba society wasted their leading lights on excessive consumption and wasteful attitudes. We wasted our capital on frivolous social gartherings.

We took religion to ridicoulous levels, such that the wealthiest pastors and churches are now Yorubas. But all the wealth extracted by the churches from the Yoruba nation is also merely flaunted to show who's God is the most miracleous.

So we have become paupers and destitutes, as the Yoruba nation cannot now pay salaries. Pensions are owed for years.

Tell me is Osun State filled with human beings or goats to have tolerated Aregbesola, when they rejected Akande. Say it loud, is the Constituted Authority of Ibadan sane to just bring about 21 Obas from nowhere to receive salaries, where there is no money to reopen Ladoke Akintola University?

Are the Ondos so wise to have allowed Mimiko to devastate their terrain as to be now saddled with 12 months salary arrears? What of Ekiti with rabble rousing Fayose and the intellectually arrogant Fayemi?

Even Lagos, there is nothing to write home about it, despite all the hype.

But the Igbos are hard workers. Let us not continue to deceive ourselves. 20 of their young boys can live in the shop from where they sell goods. There is no place too dirty or remote for them to hibernate and incubate their ideas. Give them 5 years, you will see them buy and take over all shops and land.

True, some of them are criminals, but majority of the Igbo youths build and build physical structures away, while the YORUBAS are content with looking for salaried jobs, so that they can have siesta in the afternoons and then attend parties on Saturdays. Then spend Sunday in church wishing and praying for divine miracles.

How foolish, as the Igbo people are meeting and strategizing on Sunday, so that they can gather money and come and buy the houses and lands owned by Yoruba fathers.

Whether we like it or not, Obokungbusi Town Hall will soon be on concessional PPP sale. The Igbos will buy it. The proceeds will be used to pay backlog of salaries owed to impoverished Ijeshas. It will come willy nilly.

It will happen even in a declared Oduduwa republic. After all the Chinese, the Lebanese and the South Africans are buying us out with reckless abandon. See how ShopRite is buying up everywhere. I heard that they bought Owena Motel estate in Akure. How come we did not sell it to the Igbos?

We shall continue to grumble and hate the Igbos until eternity. Unless we spy on them, copy their ways and imbibe their can do attitude.

The Yoruba nation and society have been pauperised and destituted. In desperation, we shall soon start to behave like the Almajiris' in the North.

In grinding poverty and out of jealousy, the Almajiris of the North regularly loot Igbo shops and businesses. Very soon Yoruba urchins will start looting too to show that they hate the Igbos.

Even some of us here will defend it to show our hatred for the Igbos. Whereas, the looting is as a result of hunger and uselessness of our society.

[s]It's no news that having given Buhari benefit of doubt in 2015 he has steered Nigeria in reverse direction..

The effect has hit had on the masses with dwindling economic opportunities leaving the masses gasping for breath..

I can't stay at home without folks u don't know coming to beg for food stuffs even on the road so many without food or transport begging this is a complete disaster..

To be blunt buhari is an example of a joke taken too far that should be corrected with all seriousness..
It's clear all major voting block across the country does not have buhari as an option in 2019.SS,SE,MB,

However core north is not bothered because they can always cajole the Yoruba's to do dere bidding. In hope of getting a sideline Vp who they plan to cut to size..


As usual the west are still indecisive and are ready to manage the economic suffering for another 4yrs.They may complain but can be good saboteur to rest of the country to oil the northern hegemony..

I continue to hope the west a critical voting block will look for a more open liberal candidate to sell..

I hope the west will not sell us to Bulhari in 2019[/s].

WE NEVER EVEN MARRY UR FELLOW NOLLYWOOD ASHAWO WITH NO KIDS OR EX-HUSBAND, NA THIS TOKUNBO.

NO FULL BLOODED IGBO MAN WILL TRY THAT, WE WILL FINISH HIM[/s].

I think it was early 90s. Where can I buy the movie now?

LexngtonSteele:
I watched it in the 90s....used to be scared of sleeping or standing near walls. That soundtrack was damn eerie!

LexngtonSteele:
Yorubas call it AKUDAYA...

Used to shiver hearing such stories.

By the way, the most scary movie (or series) i've watched is "Hot Cash" featuring the Igbo Vampire/Ghost called Willy Willy

Till today, the soundtrack sends chills down my spine

I am quoting the Bible for you. He is God's prophet

asuustrike2009:
Proverbs 23:29-35 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has conflicts? Who has complaints? Who has wounds for no reason? Who has red eyes? Those who linger over wine, those who go looking for mixed wine. Don’t gaze at wine because it is red, when it gleams in the cup and goes down smoothly. In the end it bites like a snake and stings like a viper. Your eyes will see strange things, and you will say absurd things. You’ll be like someone sleeping out at sea or lying down on the top of a ship’s mast. “They struck me, but I feel no pain! They beat me, but I didn’t know it! When will I wake up? I’ll look for another drink.”

tuscani:
Touch not my annointed, do my prophet no harm

asuustrike2009:
Isaiah 5:11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning in pursuit of beer, who linger into the evening, inflamed by wine.
Instead of taking alcohol why not be filled with the holy ghost.Ephesians 5:18 And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless actions, but be filled by the Spirit. Why wouldn't a Christian get drunk in the holy ghost instead of taking wine that might lead to drunkenness

laribari:
You are a fool! Go and tell UK government naa, don't they know his church? Abi is Oyedepo hiding?

I have said it that God has a massive plan for Nigeria and it shall come to pass. You think if biafra go it will better igboland? What about all the igbo leaders at influencial positions, what did they do in the east? Pius Ayim, chuba okadigbo, Alison maduekwe, dziani, okonji-wahala to name a few. Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe one of Nigerian longest serving minister, also there is a certain Ekweremadu but for me only Pete Obi try. Mind you I'm not from Anambra but I'm saying the fact.

After the president, the Senate president is the most powerful and igbos have enjoyed that position, yet not even a tipper of sand was taken to the east for road construction. Igbos should deal with their own house first before accusing Nigeria and FG. Okay, Nigeria is bad, Nigeria is bad. Go and look at lagos state government, those ones are people with brains and know what they are doing. Quit blaming others and sit up.
