with a rifle in my hand? Don't ask me what I will do. I will simply solve Nigerian problem at once

You are very naive if you think taking out Tinubu will solve all Nigerians problems, it could make it worse.

Besides most Nigerian's problems comes from selfishness and greed of an average Nigerian.

That's the saner climes you are talking about

They keep nagging about Lagos state but they won't leave the state.

This corper now I'm goddamn sure she have no plan to leave Lagos even after she completed her NYSC, you won't see them making videos about the poor condition their indigenous states is that made them to leave the place for Lagos but when they get to Lagos they will suddenly have a voice.

Lagos still have a long way to go in so many aspects but in terms of development In Nigeria, Lagos is still the top dog.

My question is how come we don't see videos criticizing other cities and states in Nigeria but we have several about Lagos states?

Is Anambra, Onitsha, Port Harcourt, Warri, Delta now more developed than Lagos state?

Onitsha was ranked the dirtiest city in the world infact Aba is also known for being very dirty, were there no NYSC members in Onitsha and Aba? Why are they not making videos like that lady, saying Onitsha Smells or Aba stinks?

If it was a Yoruba lady NYSC member that made a video about Onitsha, saying Onitsha smells, these set of hypocritical people wouldn't spare her despite the fact WHO ranked Onitsha as the dirtiest city in the world.

I hope there won't be any outrage tomorrow when someone from South west, an NYSC member go to Onitsha or Aba and make a video about how dirty the place is, since the people from the place refuse to make a video about it.

Politics is more on hatred in Nigeria than logic

People should be praising Tinubu for dropping that short terrorist

If you have to tell a woman you are an Alpha you are a big looser

I bet it was the controversies her former boyfriend caused that could make Burna Boy to broke up with her or she was the one that broke up with Burna boy because of that lambo woman controversies.

Aren't there some risk managers out there

Any good development news in Lagos make you guys in the east depress

If there are risk managers they won't advise any business to establish in the east because of the terrorism and cannibalism going on there.

10 years after now when Eko Atlantic become the talk of the town, you will see riffraffs from the East claim they are the one that developed the place

Not to interfere in your banter but this is what ChatGPT has to say about your claim:
The Igbo people have a rich history of military prowess and resistance against external powers before the colonial period. While the Igbo did not have a centralized kingdom like the Oyo Empire or the Benin Kingdom, their decentralized and egalitarian political structure enabled them to effectively defend their land and maintain independence through various military victories. Many of their military successes were achieved through local defense, organized communal resistance, and tactical ingenuity. Below are some notable pre-colonial military victories of the Igbos:

1. The Battle of Owere (1825)
• One of the most significant pre-colonial military victories of the Igbos occurred in 1825, when the Igbo people of Owere (now the capital of Imo State) successfully repelled an invasion by the Aba people from the neighboring kingdom of Ibibio.
• Owere’s resistance demonstrated the effectiveness of the Igbo’s local militias, which were often organized in small, mobile groups that relied on guerilla tactics and their knowledge of the local terrain. The battle’s outcome reinforced the Igbo people’s resolve to maintain their independence from external control.

2. The War Against the Aro Confederacy
• The Aro Confederacy, a powerful political and spiritual entity within the Igbo region, engaged in several military campaigns to assert its dominance over other Igbo groups, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries. However, there were numerous instances of the Aro being defeated by rival Igbo communities.
• One notable military victory came in the early 19th century when the Abam people, a neighboring Igbo ethnic group, successfully fought off the Aro during their expansionist efforts. This victory helped preserve the independence of smaller Igbo communities within the confederacy.

3. The Igbo Resistance Against the British Invasion (1900)
• The Igbo people were one of the ethnic groups that resisted British colonial expansion during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One of the most well-known military engagements was the Igbo resistance during the 1900 British invasion.
• The British military faced stiff resistance from local Igbo communities, particularly around Nsukka, Aba, and other towns in southeastern Nigeria. The British sought to exert control over the region and suppress the slave trade, but the Igbo people fiercely defended their land, resulting in several skirmishes and battles.
• While ultimately unsuccessful in halting British colonization, the Igbo people’s defiance became an important symbol of their resilience.

4. The Igbo Resistance Against the Oyo Empire
• The Oyo Empire, one of the most powerful Yoruba kingdoms in pre-colonial Nigeria, periodically clashed with the Igbo people. The Oyo Empire sought to expand its influence into Igbo territories to control vital trade routes.
• The Igbo people, particularly the people of Arochukwu (a powerful Igbo town), were able to repel the Oyo’s attempts at expansion. The battle for control over key areas such as the Arochukwu-Ogoja region saw a significant defeat for Oyo forces in the 16th century, thereby limiting Oyo’s ambitions in the southeast.
• The Igbo military successfully defended their territories through the use of well-coordinated militias and superior knowledge of local geography.

5. The Battle of Nnewi
• Nnewi, known as the “Japan of Africa” due to its industrial might, also had a proud military tradition in pre-colonial times. During the early 19th century, the people of Nnewi fought and successfully repelled an invasion by the Ibibio people, who attempted to assert control over Nnewi.
• The Igbo defenders used a combination of guerilla tactics and ambush strategies, overwhelming the attackers and ensuring that the town retained its independence. The victory further solidified the reputation of Nnewi as a militarily formidable town.

6. The Defeat of the Ijaws by the Igbos
• There were conflicts between the Igbos and the Ijaws, particularly along the southeastern coastline. During the 16th century, the Igbos successfully repelled several Ijaw incursions into Igbo territory, especially in the River Niger region.
• The Igbos utilized their knowledge of swampy and difficult terrain to ambush and disrupt the Ijaw forces, forcing them to retreat. The Igbos also leveraged their communal defense structure to effectively organize resistance against external aggression.

7. The Battle of Umuahia
• Umuahia, one of the central towns in the Igbo heartland, also witnessed military victories, particularly during conflicts with the neighboring Efik Kingdom and Ibibio peoples. These confrontations were often about territorial control and influence over trade routes.
• The Igbos, employing both military strategy and knowledge of the local terrain, managed to secure several victories against these external forces. The victory in Umuahia became a symbol of the Igbo’s unity and defense of their territory.

Conclusion:

The Igbo people, despite lacking a centralized kingdom, displayed remarkable military resilience and victories in various conflicts before the colonial era. From repelling incursions from neighboring kingdoms like the Oyo Empire and Benin Kingdom to resisting internal power struggles within their own communities (such as the Aro Confederacy), the Igbo demonstrated their military effectiveness through communal defense, guerilla tactics, and well-organized resistance.

Though they did not dominate large swaths of territory through conquest as some other ethnic groups did, the Igbo military successes illustrate their ability to maintain their independence and self-determination in the face of external aggression. These victories, especially in the 19th century, helped establish the Igbo as one of the most resistant and formidable ethnic groups in pre-colonial Nigeria.

You really know how to tell ChatGPT to generate fake responses for you.


OYO EMPIRE and Igbo lol? That alone prove how fake it is

The Oyo Empire, at its height between the 17th and 19th centuries, was one of the most powerful Yoruba states in what is now southwestern Nigeria. While the Oyo expanded significantly eastward, they mainly clashed with neighboring groups like the Dahomey to the west, the Nupe to the north, and the Egbado and Egba closer to home.

As for direct clashes with the Igbo people? There’s no strong historical evidence of significant military confrontations between the Oyo Empire and the Igbo. The main reasons are geography and the political dynamics of the time:

1. Geographical separation: The Igbo people predominantly occupied southeastern Nigeria, while the Oyo Empire was based in the west. Between them were other groups like the Ibariba (Borgu), Nupe, and the Benin Empire to the southeast, which served as buffers.


2. Oyo’s Eastern Expansion Limits: Oyo’s eastern reach went as far as parts of present-day Kwara and into the north-central regions but didn’t extend deep into Igbo territory. The Oyo’s military focus was more westward and northward.


3. Benin Empire as a barrier: The Benin Empire had more interactions with some Igbo communities in the western Igbo areas. If there was any significant Igbo involvement with Oyo, it would likely have been through trade networks rather than direct warfare.



So, while trade routes and minor interactions could have existed, no records suggest any major military clash between the Oyo Empire and the Igbo people.

Curious about any specific period or event?

AdeYORUFAFO:
You clearly have a problem with reading and comprehension. That a few Igbo towns close to the border of present day Edo state were conquered by the Benin Kingdom doesn’t mean that the Benins conquered the Igbos. Your screenshot even says so.

Tell me one war you fought and won in history.

You guys love chest beating like you are some warlike tribe that fought and won several war.

You guys should count your stars your land is far away from Fulani, igbo land would be full of Emirs and you guys would be like Hausa. You couldn't even resist Igala and Benin lol

Lol you are obviously a very delusional folk

Read your statement again, so you mean Benin didn't sold you all into slavery just a few town, noted.


Tell me one war Igbo fought and won in history, just a tribe of loud mouth cowards

AdeYORUFAFO:
Yorubas on the other hand are Fulani slaves. The Fulani are your masters, overlords and paymasters that is why you guys will forever be under the sultanate.
The Igbos on the other hand are a nation of freeborn men and women who have co existed and interacted with their neighbors in their respective city-states.

Let me give you a taste of the trash you tell ChatGPT to say

"The Igbo were conquered by the Fulani due to a combination of strategic, political, and military factors."

1. Military Superiority of the Fulani:
The Fulani Jihad, led by Usman dan Fodio, had already established a strong caliphate across much of northern Nigeria. With experienced cavalry forces and effective military strategies, they could have overwhelmed Igbo communities, which were more decentralized and lacked a unified military structure.


2. Political Fragmentation of Igbo Society:
The Igbo people traditionally lived in autonomous communities and villages rather than centralized kingdoms. This lack of a unified defense system would have made them more vulnerable to organized external forces like the Fulani armies.


3. Religious Motivation and Zeal:
The Fulani Jihad was driven by a religious mission to spread Islam. If the Fulani had pushed their jihad further into Igbo territory, they could have used religion as both a justification and motivation for conquest.


4. Alliances and Betrayals:
Hypothetically, some Igbo groups could have allied with the Fulani for trade or protection against rivals, leading to divisions that the Fulani could exploit to gain control.


5. Economic Interests:
The Fulani may have been drawn to the Igbo region for its wealth in resources, including agricultural products and later, palm oil. Controlling Igbo land would have boosted their economic power.

AdeYORUFAFO:
Yorubas on the other hand are Fulani slaves. The Fulani are your masters, overlords and paymasters that is why you guys will forever be under the sultanate.
The Igbos on the other hand are a nation of freeborn men and women who have co existed and interacted with their neighbors in their respective city-states.

People that never win a single war in history calling Yoruba slaves, people dogwalked by both igala and Benin

You tell ChatGPT to say that rubbish, here's the real statement

No, the Fulani never fully conquered the Yoruba. Here's a breakdown of what happened:

In the early 19th century, the Fulani Jihad, led by Usman dan Fodio, established the Sokoto Caliphate in much of northern Nigeria. The jihad spread southward, and in 1830, Ilorin—a Yoruba town—was taken over by the Fulani. Ilorin then became an emirate under the Sokoto Caliphate. This allowed the Fulani to have a presence in northern Yorubaland.

However, the Fulani advance was stopped at Osogbo in 1840 during the Battle of Osogbo, where the Yoruba, particularly the Ibadan army, successfully repelled them. After that, the Fulani influence didn’t spread much further into Yorubaland.

So, while parts of northern Yorubaland, like Ilorin, came under Fulani control, the Yoruba as a whole were never conquered or subjugated by the Fulani. They maintained their independence, especially in places like Ibadan, Oyo, and Ife.

The Igala conquest of Igbo refers to historical events, likely during the height of the Igala Kingdom’s power in pre-colonial Nigeria. The Igala Kingdom, centered around Idah along the River Niger, was a dominant force from around the 16th to 18th centuries. At its peak, Igala influence and military expeditions extended across parts of what are today Kogi State, the Benue region, and into Igboland in southeastern Nigeria.

Here’s a breakdown of the context:

1. Military Campaigns and Influence:
The Igala, under rulers known as the Attah of Igala, expanded their territory by military conquest, trade, and alliances. They often raided neighboring territories, including parts of Igboland, for slaves and tribute. Some Igbo communities on the western banks of the Niger River—especially in areas like Onitsha, Nsukka, Anioma (Western Igbo)—were at times under Igala dominance or paid tribute.


2. Cultural Interactions:
As a result of these conquests and interactions, there are cultural overlaps between some Igala and Igbo groups. For example, some communities in northern Igboland (like Nsukka) have cultural elements similar to Igala practices.


3. Decline of Igala Power:
Igala dominance waned with the rise of British colonial rule and the military defeats they suffered from neighboring powers like the Benin Empire and Jukun Kingdom. The British later incorporated Igala territory into colonial Nigeria.



Do you want to focus on a specific event, region, or period of the Igala-Igbo relationship?

Tranquillity360:
lolz said by coward that lost kwara to fulanis.



Women Dehomey warriors defeated their men.






Shift Ofeke

Imagine you people conquered and colonized by Igala talking shit about fighting war with your superior.

In your history there were only record of how Igala people, Benin even ijaw colonized and enslaved you, no record of conquest. Imagine your cowards generation comparing with Yoruba that have several record of conquest even the Fulani you talked about got decimated when they tried to push past Ilorin and even the Dahomey women were destroyed by Abeokuta people.

Tell me the record of one war Igbo fought and won in history? Igala dealt with you, Benin dealt with you even Ijaw dealt with you.


Check online you will see Yoruba beating Fulani, Dahomey. Show me somewhere Igbo won any war with other groups in history? Other groups only pissed on you and dogwalk you in history . It is very obvious who the cowards and slaves are

GEEBITE:
He is 64 now. So you want him to be President at almost 80 going by this calculation. You saw what we went through in the hands of 80 years plus Buhari. People cant be running a country well at that age when all their physical and mental powers are already diminished.

If Tinubu could do it, he can also do it because he will have more chance that way.

He will need a miracle to unsit Tinubu in 2027 and after 2027 his chance will even become more slim because the north will be expecting the next president to come from them, they are already even having hardtime for Tinubu to finish his terms and after that his chance will even become more slimmer.

So either way he will have to wait for a long time if he doesn't want to give up so instead of just waiting and contesting blindly or hoping for a miracle he may as well play a strategic long time game. Look at the long time game Tinubu played, it is better to be strategic than to just be hoping for a miracle.

If Obi is a very smart politicians he can achieve his ambition in APC and play the long game like Tinubu but he is not that smart.

If he joined APC and dropped his ambition for now he can make a comeback later down the line when the north finished their 8 years after Tinubu and APC will use all their machinery to make him the next Igbo president, but too bad his tribe are not known for patience, strategy and intelligence.

Mrfeel:
I agree, its amazing how the igala and Benin conquered igbos made both igala and Benin pretty small, they conquered but ended up expanding igboland to Beninland and igalaland

You must be hallucinating

Right now Igala people are still dragging Anambra, Enugu and even Ebonyi with Yigbo

Mrfeel:
Benin and igala attack small small igbo clans and villages captured them and sold into slavery igbos were not united under one kingdom to claim igala or Benin waged a war on the entire igbos and conquered them is false, igbos were individualistic and every clan stood for themselves , we will feel the shame the day Benin or igala wage a war on the entire igbos and defeat them

Igala and Benin conquered and colonized Igbo, na Grok you are celebrating talk am

Zulu11zulu:
you call this ceremonial oba is like saying we have Eze in south west or north.

They have no power or authority just like village head in a forien land.

You said you have yeruba in Benin and Ghana even in edo state and kogi state do you have any Oba in those places just we have Eze and igwe in Rivers obi in delter .

You are just a delusional guy, you asked if there are Yoruba Obas outside south west and I showed you evidence but you changed it to something else like a typical n.y.a.muri.

Who doesn't know that all traditional title in every nook and cranny of Nigeria are just pure ceremonial? There are Yoruba Obas in Kogi okun people even Edo state, Oba of Benin is representing, even in far away Benin Republic, Ghana and Togo even to Gambia and serrialoene. We are not dot In a circle like you guys, Yoruba culture spread around west Africa.

Zulu11zulu:
no igbo land is under fulani like kwara take it or leave it. We still have our Eze and igwe controlling or the village the federal government of Nigeria cage to other states. Did you ever hear the Oba or any yeruba King in any state apart from south west.

There are Yoruba Obas in the East, North and even Middle belt

kettykin:
Keep fooling your self and your gullible audience, if the east was that dangerous, all the small, medium and large enterprises would have collapsed or relocated. And the Southwest, particularly Lagos that you claim is safe would have witnessed and all time overflow of investment, prosperity and growth. But what do we have , about 7 million businesses mainly in Lagos have been effectively lost with all the eateries, super markets , malls, lounges and other small businesses managing to scrape by

So in your delusional mind businesses aren't collapsing in the east? Right now there's no economic stat in this 2025 you will even have any edge over anywhere in Yoruba land.

I'm done with a myopic guy like you.

Zulu11zulu:
kwara still under fulani rules your kings and kingdom will never rule over themselves at least no igbo land is under Igala or Benin do you get it.

There is a reason why you guys are dot in a circle and have the smallest landmass in Nigeria.

Igala and Benin have bullied you into a dot land even ijaw gave you wotowoto unlike Yoruba land that spread from Nigeria to Benin Republic, Ghana and even Togo.

Imagine small Igbo dey compete with big Yoruba, small yansh dey shake.

kettykin:
Do you realize that for every activity you do in Lagos, from building a new house to drilling borehole to erecting a gate , fence , pillars , decking, roofing, soakaway pit etc that there categories of extortion associated with it in Lagos. There is no other place in Nigeria this happens , not even in boko haram controlled enclaves or the thick bandit invested forests of Zamfara and Katsina. The only thing going on in the east is the usual park fare by local government employed motor park taks force and it doesn't happen in all the parks

Keep deceiving yourself

A lot of people that went to the East for businesses Verified how dangerous and tyrancal Onitsha Agbero are even more than Yoruba Agbero.
