Politics is rub my back I rub yours..

For you lots shouting Igbo presidency up and down, It's only GEJ that you voted massively in 2015 and his Bayelsa people that will vote your candidate. Not a single Northerner will vote for you.

The core North will vote a Yoruba Southerner because the Yorubas voted for their own in 2015 though liberally but it was something. Igbos should not expect to reap where they did not sow. It's as simple as that.

Yoruba amaka ..beautiful, homely and intelligent ladies

Lagos govt. has really done a great job in mamaging this pandemic..

Kudos to Sanwo Eko. God bless you sir!

Finally.. small sense is coming back to ohaneze

I like the fact that Dilector cownu was dogged although harmless but he made a mark that will forever haunt his people.

Leave them na.. It's only the Osagie or whatever he calls himself the Chinese will share experience with.

So annoying

Good for them... stupid people who don't allow things work in their country so that they can keep importing trash from China.

blackboy:
I no talk am. When China wants something they get it. Everyone got a price

So you're saying that if atal they want to use Nigerians as test specimen for their research or whatever purpose, the govt. will gladly allow them.

At times I wonder if we are truly ripe for independence.. a chunk of our leaders especially the aged ones still think and act like slaves.

persius555:
At this point, we need to be open to collaboration. This isn't the time for ego trippings.
These guys have a full knowledge of pandemic containment and our health officials are experts at contact tracing, we can only form a formidable force to contain this disease.

No man is an island on its own.

A reasonable government will first take time to study trends across the globe before taking any stupid decisions.

Whatever their agenda is, I know it won't end well

They should have left Prof. Isaac Adewole as Minister of Health.. this present one has no brain atal.
*hiss

Guess this saying was true all along.. no romance without finance

@OP It's a man's world. Get your acts together and keep going. Maybe or maybe not she will come back.

Herdsmen:
Typical Yoruba boy

Dem go the blow you.. still they bite you..
Nigerians understand yorubas .. more Than Yoruba understand themselves

Carry your buying go.. if you no buy another person go buy..
Is like you don’t understand..

You folks need us more than we need you.. The West has everything including access to ports, we have foods, businesses, hospitals everything, you just name it.

I'll let you in on something I know for a fact.. majority of Igbos living among Yorubas in South West prefer Yoruba owned healthcare and pharmacies. They believe in Yorubas honesty and self-preservation to deliver the right drugs and food items to them.

Yoruba amaka anyday

chennaija:
Be very careful with them in life even at work or business. Over hear in Australia we avoid them. Their goal is always to bring you down or scuffle your deal because they know in a level playing field you an Igbo man will always do better than them; they know this instinctively!

You should check yourself very well. If you exhibit the 'I before others' trait, then it's likely they and even Australians will avoid you.

Herdsmen:
Yoruba insecurities is nothing new.. the fear of igbos gives them sleepless night

Igbo thread.. Yoruba first jump in.. without reasonable input.
We all know Yoruba passionately hate igbos ,and can’t do nothing about it..
The Igbo thing the eat majority of them..

That's not true.. it's not in our nature to hate others unnecessarily.
We still patronize your businesses and allow you and your innocent new born kids grow up in our lands.

Oya say Igbo amaka.. stew everywhere

Herdsmen:
Yoruba go run enter thread once the hear Igbo..

Insecurities..

Beri Beri’s

You are the insecure one here..

This is a forum for everyone and everyone can make comment on any and every thread created on here

These guys are clowns sha..

You think anyone will give you presidency so you can break up Nigeria and push your ethnic agenda. I won't be surprised if they plan to have biafra with igbo president and still be president in Nigeria.
Yeyerity!

Ekealterego:
You see my first sentence. I wrote that you might not be too bright and you proved it again.

Oga brighter grammar... wehdone sir

Good one from the medical doctors.. if not, those chinese will start building hospitals with chinese doctors on Nigerian soil when we have enough medical graduates looking for job.

I don't know the problem of the govt. we have. Look everywhere around you especially Lagos, you'd see so many Chinese in their thousands doing what exactly?

I hope the dullards in NSE, COREN etc. will wake up and restore dignity to the Engineering profession in Nigeria. All the roads, railways, airports etc. are being handled by Chinese. with Nigerian engineers as onlookers

Such a shame

Ekealterego:
You are not very bright. Lamborghinis, Maserati and the other luxury cars are all handmade. Many exotic cars are all handmade because you can't just automate the production of cars like that and also the fact that not many are built in a year.
I have been to M.A.N factories and also Daimler in Europe, they have different models. While many M.A.N trucks and engines are usually handcrafted, many Daimler cars mass produced are automated and mind you, there are still thousands of workers per shift in each plants. Being automated doesn't mean there are not many aspects or stages where manual application is not required.
The choice of automation or handmade production doesn't really necessary determine which outcome is better but rather, the demand, quantity and the type of car.
If Innoson fails to get at least 500 thousand sales a year, he might make a loss or run out of business fully automating his plants.

Please let's hear word with your plenty grammar..

Look at the state of the factory like a 90s' welder workshop. I don't think you understand what automation is all about or you think it's the one laptop placed carelessly in the picture .

This is Nigeria, anything goes and people keep dying in unexplained road crashes. Shioor!

faoogoke:
If this man wants to help his business he needs to allow others come on board with funds to expand the assembly plant.

From the pictures I have seen, the assembly process is not even semi automated. The reason why they assemble perhaps a vehicle a day.

Also the reason why we don't see so many of the vehicles on the road.

I also want to fault his business model. I don't expect him at this stage to be producing so many different models; Jeeps, buses, fire trucks, pick up etc.

A good business model would focus of two or at most three brands that will drive sales two of which must be salon cars.

And over time the company would have built expertise in these two three popular model even fabricating every part locally.

He seems only interested in making cars for the rich.

Much as I wish he would go further, it seems like Eddy Bongos of the eighties this company wont fly. Over time, it may just crash.

Don't you get?.. the Innoson is an illiterate

It's only in Nigeria, any individual with money can delve into anything and everybody keeps quiet.

Soon he will start assembling airplanes for Onyema of airpeace.

Nonsense and ingredients

Abia1stboy:
My Abia state is producing only slippers. Tufia

Seriously!.. bathroom or dunlop slippers?

Portfolio manufacturer

Even Obingo, Ugwuanyi, Ikpeazu and the likes can't purchase those mobile coffins. Just look at a 21st Century auto assembly plant.

Something is definitely wrong in Abia.. too many sad news from there of late

@OP you must be from the East side..

I don't know why you folks are so complicated, always thinking of how to 'grab' from others

I pray quota system won't ruin this country

You said this friend of yours made attempt to kiss your girl back in 2014, shows he has no self control or principle.

My instincts tell me that this your friend is sleeping with your 'wife to be' under the wife's nose but since he can't tell you that, he said it was spiritual problem.

Yorubas will say.. eni buruku lojo ti e. Your friend is trying to save you from regrets.

True.. that is the reason why we see ladies sleeping with their bestie's man.

They will have imagined the whole thing in their heads before sleeping with their supppsed 'bestie' man not minding the effect on their friend.
Gossip is very bad

@OP In as much as you have strong points, I can't support this.

The society in a way has been like this. guys to do the bringing while the ladies do the taking.

Telling guys no to do the bringing anymore traslates to more ladies turning to hustlers i.e. runs, prostitution, ritualists, armed robbers, 419, yahoo. etc. to survive.
PS; I'm not saying there are no strong and working class ladies but the larger percentage depend on their guys, relatives, family members etc. for their needs.

I don't want a situation where ladies I don't know will be sexually harassing me or inviting me to treat

It’s even more painful that it was Samuel Ikoku that granted the silly interview. This is someone Awolowo risked everything for. The decision of Awolowo to remove Ayo Rosiji as the Action group Secretary General and replace him with Samuel G. Ikoku was what caused the 1962 AG Jos convention crisis.

Akintola couldn’t believe Awo would remove a Yoruba man and replace him with an Igbo man in a party dominated by Yorubas. That single decision marked the end of the relationship between Akintola and Awolowo. Sadly, Akintola was right. When it mattered most in 1979, S.G. Ikoku in an act of unforgivable betrayal worked against Awolowo’s aspiration to be president.

Yet they refer to him as a tribalist that hate Igbos..

That action alone can make him lose all his Yoruba supporters and ambition but the ingrates won't talk about that or tell their kids the true story.

The survival of the Igbo race over the years pre and post biafra war has been hinged on Yorubas benevolent and accomodating spirit. Left for tribes like Ijaws, Fulanis etc. they would have gone extinct by now. It's the raw, undisputabe FACT!

JAMO84:
Sense too much for Baba Awolowo. He already knew that they would claim to be the owners of Lagos in the future, so he quickly dismantled Azikiwe before it is too late. Otherwise, Kanu would have been including Lagos in his imaginary Biafra land!!!

I AM DONE TALKING

Pa Awolowo saved Yorubas from slavery envisaged by Azikiwe.. Every Yoruba sons and daughters should forever appreciate him.

This one we have posts like VP, Speaker House of Reps and SW constituencies duly represented by Yorubas is as a result of Awolowo's brilliance.

They would have perfected what GEJ was doing, appointing Igbos into seats meant for Yorubas to represent Lagos at Federal level, removing and replacing top Yoruba officers in Federal Ministries and Agencies with Easterners.

Funny enough, Yorubas never think of such evil against these people.
Thou shall not convert your neighbour's property is part of the ten commandments yet they claim to practice christianity.

seunmsg:
What concrete facts are you talking about?

Awolowo contested the same election with an Igbo running mate so what’s your point? Did Igbos vote for the Awolowo/Umeadi ticket? Did Azikiwe contest with a Yoruba running mate?

Awolowo wanted the alliance more than anybody but Zik never wanted it out of jealousy. He preferred Shagari to win the election and acted as a spoiler for Awolowo. Even at that, Awolowo still demonstrated his willingness to work with Igbos by choosing a running mate from the south east despite protest from so many of his party members. At the end of the day, Igbos opted to vote for Shagari. After the election, they even formed a government of national unity with Shagari’s NPN similar to the NPC/NCNC alliance of the first republic.

The same people he chose are the ones making fun of him today, telling all sort of lies while they praise their own 'betrayer' son who abandoned them during their biafra struggle to dine with Nigerian government.. Issa pity

It's waiting for Eastern security outfit Ifeanyitekun
