Do you see any low self esteem in that picture. Look at it very well. Dude you are so stupid you can't talk me down owk

Jogs1900:
When the time comes, the Yorubas in Lagos and south West will settle their matter...It's strictly a family issue..Any sort of meddling in our family affairs from people across the Niger will be resisted vehemently.

Do you know that all the states in the south west have joint investments? Please read about Odua Investment.
Do you know they have a think tank called the DAWN commission?

Rikkely:
With all due respect, this is one very unintelligent comment

Blaze14k:

Rikkely:

Blaze14k:

Blaze14k:
If you are loved by everyone then there's something wrong with you. You guys are so daft it stinks to your bone marrow

Blaze14k:
I'm not concerned about you cos I want you to realise 20yrs from now, how stupid you were. People are on ground building structures that will stand the test of time while you are on the internet showing how skillful you are in hating people. Same people you hate so much came back from war to compete with you toe to toe and you think you will be greater than them in the future? You must be absolutely stupid

Rikkely:
You are getting beaten left and right with no sensible comment to counter back, omo you are a disgrace to Oduduwa

Rikkely:
DMerciful is giving you free advise to go and develop your brown roof south west region and allow Lagosians to live in peace

Putinofrussia:
You sound unintelligent.
He was just telling Igbos to stop poking nose into Yoruba vs Yoruba matter.
Your ancestors did it,failed and gnashed their teeth to their graves.
You,the new crops of Igbos are still in the same foolish path that is making some Yoruba begin to detest you.
We have always had other tribes too in Lagos but it is only the Igbos that have showed covetousness.
From Jaja Nwachukwu to Nnamdi Azikiwe to Iwuanyanwu and co.
Wetini
Let the Yorubas settle their differences even politically.Not everybody will agree everytime.
Stop the covetousness and ojukokuro.
choi
Na only Igbo dey Lagos.
cho cho cho cho everytime.

TimeManager:
Really?. Ijaws, Efik, Ibibio Itshekiri, Igala and the rest of them were not there?. Why not let them their own space too?. Domination is sweet, right?

-Kiss the truth!

Kukutente23:
That's not true. He knew he wouldn't get the PM if he aligned with NPC
PM is for the party with the highest numbers in the parliament. His party did not have that. He could only be PM if he joined with AG. Why he spurned that is what I don't understand till today. Like I said, I suspect he was looking at Gov Glover instead of reading the independence constitution. Such a self-harming mistake!!

How Ibos Gave The NORTH The Edge To Run NIGERIA

How Zik allegedly betrayed Awo and pitched his tent with the North in 1959.

The parliamentary elections were held in Nigeria on 12 December, 1959. The result was a parliament that had no clear majority to form a government.

Zik’s National Council of Nigeria and Cameroon (NCNC) came first with 2,594,577 votes to get 81 seats.

Awolowo’s Action Group (AG), came 2nd with 1,992, 364 votes to get 73 seats.

However, Sir. Ahmadu Bello’s Northern People’s Congress (NPC) came a distant 3rd with 1,922,179 votes to get 134 of the 312 seats in the House of Representatives, despite getting fewer public votes.

The above three major political parties in the election did not get enough seats to form a government. So, an alliance had to be formed to determine who would rule Nigeria. It was a no brainer that Zik’s NCNC and Awolowo’s Action Group should make a coalition government as they came first and second respectively.

Awolowo then humbled himself and volunteered to be a deputy prime minister or finance minister in a coalition government with Zik as the Prime Minister.

This was because Zik’s NCNC party had more public votes and seats than Awolowo’s Action Group.

Zik invited Awolowo’s team to Asaba, the gateway between the Yoruba’s western region and the Igbo’s Eastern region to hold coalition talks.

The talks were a clever ruse to keep Action Group hopes high, so that the party could be kept distracted from meeting with other minor parties for talks. Other junior parties included: Northern Elements Progressive Union with 8 seats: Mobolaje Grand Alliance with 6 seats: Igala Union with 4 seats: Independents Candidate with 4 seats: Igbira Tribal Union with 4 seats and the Niger Delta Congress with 1 seat.

While the Action Group team was waiting in Asaba for a meeting with the NCNC, they read in the newspapers that Zik and the NCNC had gone up North and clinched a deal with Ahmadu Bello on forming a coalition government with the Northern People’s Congress (NPC).

Tafawa Balewa would be the Prime Minister of Nigeria, while ZIk would be a ceremonial, Governor-General.

Even the President of Ghana, Dr. Nkrumah was shocked. He asked why ZIk, having expended so much energy, fighting for colonial emancipation and settling for a toothless bulldog role when Nigeria needed him the most.

Zik wrote in his autobiography why he did not go for a coalition government with Awolowo;

In 1947, with over £13,500 raised from the Yoruba people and given to the NCNC. Zik had led other six prominent NCNC delegates to London to protest the obnoxious laws of Governor Arthur Richards.

The trip ended in failure with backbiting, abuses and accusation of theft leveled against Zik.

Zik’s opponents in the NCNC, accused him of squandering the money and the trust of Nigerians. Zik replied, insinuating that the Yoruba in the team, who were: Mrs. Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Prince Adeleke Adedoyin, and Dr Olorunnimbe, were the problem.
There erupted a heated and prolonged press war among Zik’s political associates reminiscence of what happed in his West African Pilot and H.O Davie’s Political Panorama in the Daily Service. The incident spurred the Igbo in Lagos rushing to buy machetes in large numbers, thinking a tribal war was imminent. The Governor and his General Secretary, Hugh Foot quickly called ZIk and H.O Davies to order at the Government House. Zik went away with the resolve that “the Yoruba must not be allowed to rule over others in Nigeria”.

And later, Daily Service published the speech of Zik in 1949 about Igbo being destined by God to conquer and rule over others.

That speech, among others, was later to explain why Zik rejected Awolowo’s offer of a coalition government in 1959 and instead decided to work with the FULANI

The Fulani had been reading Zik and the Igbo through the lens of his 1949 speech ever since. The Fulani’s way of neutralizing Zik when the opportunity came in 1959 was to offer him a powerless post, which surprisingly Zik and the NCNC dutifully accepted in place of being Nigeria’s first Prime Minister.

ZIk had thought that the Igbo could easily manipulate the Fulani unlike the educated Yoruba. He thus manipulated Balewa to arrest Awolowo in 1962 and to have him jailed for 10 years in 1963 for treasonable felony.

Zik also manipulated Balewa to remove from the Western Region the Edo, Urhobo, Isekiri and western Ijaw that account for 70% of the oil wealth in Nigeria and created for them Mid-Western Region.

Zik’s hatred for the Yoruba gave the Fulani the impetus to rule over others in Nigeria. The coup plotters tried to rectify Zik’s mistake in 1966. And unfortunately, they killed other ethnic group leaders and left their leaders, which resulted to the civil war.

Britain did not really hand over Nigeria to the Fulani, Nigeria was given over to the Fulani by the Igbo. However, to hold on to power in Nigeria, the Fulani enlisted the backing of the self-serving career politicians in England.[/b]

I am not surprise that you believe Ekpa will make the same mistake, common sense is not actually common for everyone

We know now. Only mumus do not know this.
All those videos of:

- a small girl picking up food from a mountain of dirt,
- ditto for the old grandmother searching for food from an heap of dirt too in Ebonyi,
- or the ones selling their kids to chop,
- or the man that shot his son with hunter's rifle for last spoon of watery soup in Abia,
- or the old and young queueing up as early as 5 am in front of blord's residence all for a plate of rice in Anambra
- or the ones that sold their votes for Okpa and Jollof in Enugu,
- or the ones that raided an onion truck in Owerri, Imo
- or the ones that queued up for kerosine
- the ones that were dashed 1 tuber of yam and told to raise them up with one hand for photograph
- or the ones that queued for Eba and bitter leaf soup
- or the teenage underage girls selling their bodies for Indomie and coke
E.t.c

Summary: poverty dey everywhere in Nigeria, people should stop gaslighting others as if there is a region immune to it.

But then again, if you look at the profile of those cursing on twitter, you will just laugh as they all have poverty written all over them.
