If you believe Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Oyo are more developed than SE, then you must be ingesting too much made in Nigeria statistics. Pick any developmental index let deal with it once.

Yes, he was conspiring with tiny Ghana to overthrow the Government of Balewa when he was arrested. Few years after his arrest, a coup led by Nzeogwu and Adewale with the purpose of installing him as PM succeeded in truncating our democracy, but the coup was halted by Ironsi and Ojukwu. The 2 highest ranking Igbo officers. The surviving govt handed power over to Ironsi, who rewarded Ojukwu for helping him stop the calamity with Governor.

In the 1990s, many years after Ojukwu released him, he shameless planned another coup against IBB but was betrayed by Jakande. Fearing the imminent Military Tribunal be committed suicide by drinking poison.

Go and research your political history.

lol ogun, Oyo, osun and ondo are not more developed yet your people are all over here in search of greener pastures?

OK. let's assume I accept your claim that Awo was plotting a coup in 1963. how did the coup he plotted in 1963 now translate to 1966 coup? especially when Ghana wasn't involved in 1966 coup? oya tell us the story

Alariiwo:
Yorubas were in opposition in the First republic when the Igbos were deeply in love with the Hausa/Fulani domination. Zik and co. were taking up crumbs the Northerners threw to them like dogs.

Yorubas on the other hand were busy fighting for equity and fairness, asking for restructuring but the Easterners weren't interested in all that. So far they got crumbs from North.

That is the reason why Yorubas don't take you saboteurs seriously. And why there will never be unity in the South.
We don't want anything to do with backstabbers who cry only when things are not going in their favour.

GBAM!!!!

You are talking as if Jonathan took over from Obj. Jonathan didn't inherit any 50 billion USD in foreign reserve.

The Nation was fighting a conventional war. Dollar is used to prosecute war. Obj didn't.

Jonathan built more roads than Buhari. Buhari is merely completing them.

Jonathan built 6 new Universities. Buhari did none.

If not for the solid economy Jonathan left us with, Buhari recession would have plunged us to the pit.

uncle solid economy that okonjo iweala started telling is us to brace up for hardship when oil was selling at 70?

could the hardship be avoided when oil was selling for less than 40 under buhari with no foreign reserve to defend the economy?

see what okonjo iweala said when oil was selling for 70 dollars o

strong economy without corresponding infrastructural development. is that how China, Singapore, Malaysia and Japan developed?

strong economy because we were spending so much money (GDP) while our savings as a country (foreign reserve) was falling

buhahahahahaha see lie o

read that post again. OBJ left over $50b with crude price of less than $40 per barrel, Yaradua defended our econony with part of it during the global economic crisis and Jonathan inherited at leat $40b. how come our reserve was falling when that of other oil producing countries were rising between 2010-2014?

and please mention the road Jonathan constructed I'm waiting


cc southeast facts

I'm waiting for your reply on this

SouthEastFacts:
Is your region more developed than the East?

If Awolowo didn't introduce coup into this country, shamelessly plotting with tiny Ghana to destroy our young democracy we wouldn't be in this mess. This is why even till now, Northerners are yet to forgive the West. Ask Sanusi, ask Yakassi, ask Unogo e.t.c

Only fools think otherwise.

The Greedy old man that plotted coup 2 times, against Balewa and Babangida is the cause of our problem. On both occasions, a Yoruba man (Akintola and Jakande) betrayed him.

I'm patiently waiting for you to tell us how Awo plotted coup in 1963 and did so again in 1965. you keep making allegations with nothing to back it up

BTW the south east is so developed and your people are all running down to Ogun, Oyo, ondo, osun to look for greener pastures ( I left Lagos out for obvious reasons).

your region is more developed than the west so what's the motivation behind of the cries of neglect and marginalisation by ipob?

SouthEastFacts:
Jonathan left us with the highest economy.

When your APC governors were busy going to court to share ECA, where were you?

How much was in the ECA before it was shared? And how many did Jonathan leave?

lol APC governors also depleted the foreign reserve from almost 50b to 28b even when crude oil was selling for a record 110 dollars per barrel!!!! even a goat will grow the economy with so much forex at his disposal.
when the price of crude fell to $70 per barrel iweala started telling Nigerians to brace up for hardship

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/171145-brace-tougher-times-ahead-okonjo-iweala-tells-nigerians.html

the price of crude fell further to less than 40$ pee barrel under buhari and the recession couldn't have been avoided with so little coming in from crude oil and militants blowing up pipelines!!!


now with oil selling at between 90-110 dollars per barel between 2010-2014 pls tell me the infrastructure Jonathan left on ground? apart from the bogus largest economy in Africa when our reserves were dropping!!!!

note that when oil was selling at a very Hugh price Saudi Arabia grew their foreign reserve to over 500 billion dollars. see it here
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-28/saudi-net-foreign-assets-dip-below-500-billion-in-april

how come Jonathan was still spending our foreign reserve anyhow? how come he couldn't build roads and reserve was still falling?

I'm patiently waiting for your reply

SouthEastFacts:
Oga, Awolowo was plotting Coup when he was arrested. He was prison when 1965 coup was carried out. The purpose was to install him as Prime Minister which Ironsi refused. Nzeogwu led the coup and Adewale a Yoruba man was second in command. Ojukwu and Ironsi an Igbo men fought the coup.

If that coup was an Igbo coup why was Ojukwu and Ironsi the two highest ranking Igbo officers not informed.

Awo destroyed this country. I didn't said it the North did.

https://www.proshareng.com/news/Nigeria-Economy/Yorubas-Are-The-Problem-With-Nigeria-Proshare/27034

Don't forget what Balaraba Musa said," the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests".

you see you are still pointing fingers

you don't even know there was no coup in 1965 but you want to argue.

the first coup was January 1966 and the second was July 1966.

so how did an awolowo that was in prison since 1963 become responsible for a coup by the military when he wasn't even a military man? it's foolish to just swallow people's opinion without question. if I start bringing out what the same northers (including balarabe musa) have said about ibos I hope you will accept them as the truth?

now more on why Awo was jailed. Awo was in the opposition with akintola initially with Awo having more influence in Action Group even though akintola was the premiere. Awo made a move to remove akintola as the premier. the party voted for the removal of akintola but violence broke out and state of emergency was declared in the southwest. akintola was reinstated without even after the votes already removed him as premier (even azikiwe protested this move which was obviously backed by the north). Akintola's alliance with the North is the reason Awo was jailed to silence him prior to 1964 election. Awo never planned any coup.
Akintola as the premier of the southwest pioneered rigging in Nigeria!!! FFK's father (Remi Fani Kayode) said it out loud that they don't need votes to win!!! violence broke out again when the rigged results were announced (note that Awo was in prison through out the election and the violence that followed even up till the 1966 coup and counter coup).

so tell me how was Awo planning a coup in 1963? how did he execute another one in 1966 from prison when he's not even a military man?

stop swallowing lies!!!

stuffs4me:
You are a disgrace Nigeria and yes your mom failed in bringing you up as an upstanding citizen. Not only are a failed child, you are even confessing your own criminality by yourself. How dumb can you be.


The spoilt irresponsible child of President Buhari was involved in an accident when he was racing his friend on public road in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Since when did Nigerian roads become race track. You are just an olodo. I know Buhari and his spoilt irresponsible kid are your gods and you are pained I criticized their it iresponsibilities.

lol English is your problem. I can race someone on the road within the speed limit. na so you dey fail exam.

so because my mum likes to drive at 100km/hr will driving and I go as high as 130 makes me a criminal? you are a bloody illiterate.

buy a dictionary and check for the meaning if the word criminal and tell me how I'm one.

you are yet to give me the speed limit on that road and the speed at which yussuf was driving when the accident occurred.

I will also be waiting for evidence of him beating traffic lights like you claimed clown

SouthEastFacts:
He told Ironsi and all our politicians that when he planned the first coup. He destroyed this nation by sowing seed of coup.

Why are you always mentioning Jonathan? Was Obasanjo not President before him?

obasanjo passed!!!

obj met our foreign reserve at $4b and left if at over $50b. left ECA

OBJ negotiated all our debts away and created millions of jobs!!! Obj is far from perfect but I'll give him a 40/100. I can't even give Jonathan a 30/100.

Jonathan only did Benin ore and fuoye in the south west. what did Jonathan do in the east?

SouthEastFacts:
Thank God you now believe Anioma is Igbo. Nzeogwu led the Coup followed by Adewale. There were many other Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, Tiv, Esan, Ijaw that participated in that coup. That coup had national coloration but western media pegged it on Ndi Igbo out of jealousy.

Awolowo was planning a coup when we was arrested. Those boys finished the coup to reinstate him but Ironsi refused.

Ask Adewale why Igbo leaders were spared?

here we go again. you are still not accepting responsibility.

now you are blaming the western media. you are still unable to tell me how awolowo that was in prison since 1963 plotted a 1966 coup from prison using nzeogwu his ibo slave

Awo wasn't even a military man. Awo was jailed because the north favoured akintola over him. he wasn't plotting any coup!!!

more than 70% of the people that participated in the coup are IBO. other regions lost their leaders except the south east. your people went on to mock the northers after their premier was killed in the coup.
we should start accepting responsibility for our mistakes as a people. so the south east doesn't have media?

SouthEastFacts:
Yes, it was him. Unless you don't know your Nation's political history.

He was planning coup when he was arrested. His boys planned the coup to reinstate him, but Ironsi took over.

Since then, we lost every thing.

Why mention Jonathan? I thought Obj was President before him.

and it was also awolowo that told ironsi to destroy the progress we had under regional government and create the current unitary wahala we are having.

awolowo is also the reason Jonathan failed

awolowo is also the reason our state governors are currently doing nothing

SouthEastFacts:
The country was moving smoothly until Awolowo introduced tribalism and hate. It was at that point we lost it all.

Don't forget, Awolowo was the first coup plotter. Nobody understands Coup until Awolowo came. He was the only Nationalist to be convicted of Treason.

yeah and the coup plotters killed people from other regions and left south east leaders untouched.

that's a detribalised coup right there

SouthEastFacts:

Don't forget, Awolowo was the first coup plotter. Nobody understands Coup until Awolowo came. He was the only Nationalist to be convicted of Treason.

lol it was awolowo that instigated the coup plotters to topple the government of a young country that gained independence 6years earlier?

it was also awolowo that told ironsi to give us the unitary government that is giving us head ache now. 26 states are finding it difficult to pay salaries cos each president after ironsi created more and more states without developing the resources from each state and region

it was also awolowo that made Jonathan waste 6 good years!!! Jonathan had the golden opportunity to turn the country around but he was busy doing nothing!!! awolowo is also to blame for that

SouthEastFacts:
The first truthful Yoruba man I have seen.

that as always been my point all these time.

we collectively ruined thus country.

what did Jonathan do for the south south and south east in 6years? nothing compared to the budget at his disposal!!!

he only gave the south west Benin ore road and federal university oye Ekiti in 5yreas and 10months

yet the same Jonathan is being regarded as the hero of democracy by some deluded minds

because of his failure some of us supported a buhari who is currently failing too and some people have started calling for atiku again


if atiku wins I'll migrate to Ghana

SouthEastFacts:
Government should maintain their infrastructures in the East, since the East equally contribute to the Nation's coffers.

Presidency is not the problem of an Average Onye Igbo, we are not crying marginalization about that.

buhahahahahaha everyone is complaining about infrastructure!!! you ibos cry for the world to see like the other parts of the country are enjoying while you are suffering. we are in it together. it's time to stop pointing fingers.

you just gave us names of notable IBO people in all the four Democratic dispensations.

if azikiwe, jaja nwachikwu did well leading the country why did the military had to step in in an IBO dominated coup?

ironsi took over during the coup and abolished regional government. he created the unitary system that is giving us headache today.

the ibo man created the unitary system and the Fulani man mastered it and enslaved us all with it!!!!


yet your people will come and tell us how the north is solely responsible for all our problems

you helped ruin the country and you atr now shouting biafla or death

accept your fault first!!!! then we'll sit and tall without insulting the other ethnic groups

first point

the typical IBO man will never take responsibility for anything.

yes the north is very backward (in education and other indices) but the south is the major reason Nigeria has a bad image abroad.
if any Nigerian commits a crime abroad, it will be a southerner 9 out of 10 times!!! yes!!!

if it's fraud in the UK I can always guess it's a Yoruba man.

if it's prostitution then it is definitely an Edo person.

if it's drugs then it's definitely an ibo man.

yet we all blame the north for the bad image of the country when the south is solely responsible for our crimes abroad!!!



it's time for us all to fvcking accept we ruined this country collectively. then we can have a round table discussion where those that want to leave can do so and those that want to stay and make it work can do so.

you made a big mistake inviting me to this thread and I will expose IBO hypocrisy. you must cry here today

thank God I'm free for the day

with all the those wonderful achievement the typical ipob yoot is still blaming the north and Yorubas for the backwardness of the country like IBO people never held any important position.

when it's time to take responsibility for how the country failed they start shifting goal post again

SouthEastFacts:
You brother made the comparison and we just responded.

refer to my comment above and tell me why your people are still crying marginalisation even with all those wonderful achievements

sarrki:
Why all this comparison always

Southwest is not in competition with anyone

We won't compared anyone with us

We are OK with what God gave us

thank you o. we are not the ones crying marginalisation all the time. when we felt marginalised (2011-2015) we protested with our vote during the next election like civilised individuals.

we didn't shout odua or death
we didn't insult other ethnic groups like ipob did
we didn't threaten to burn down the country

stuffs4me:
Bad and irresponsible parenting from President Buhari.


I don't see why the President's son will be racing with his friends on government roads thereby putting the lives of other Nigerians at risk. The spoilt rich brat violated traffic laws and no one is even talking about that. Is Buhari's son above the law in Nigeria.

Yusuf Buhari is an irresponsible spoilt brat without a responsible upbringing.

if you don't have evidence he violated traffic laws then I suggest you shut up. youths will always be youths no matter what their parents do so Mr Good-parent keep you foolish opinion to yourself.

I go as high as 130km per hr while traveling and I have a friend that does 140-150 sometimes. my mum is all for 100km/hr max. does that make her a bad parent since I differ in opinion and I think 120km/hr is still safe?

BTW I'll be waiting your evidence of him breaking traffic rules
- the exact figure of his current speed when the accident occurred and the speed limit on the road where the accident occurred (with video evidence).

- video of him breaking traffic rules (beating the light or whatever his offence his)

SouthEastFacts:
The problem with you Yorubas is nothing but Shallowness. To you Nigeria started in 1999.

Pre Republican era
First and only Governor General (Nnamdi Azikiwe)
First Speaker (Jaja Nwachukwu, Present day, Abia)
First President of the Senate (Nnamdi Azikiwe)

First Republic
First President (Nnamdi Azikiwe)
First President of the Senate (Nwafor Orizu)
First Acting President (Nwafor Orizu)
First Foreign Minister (Jaja Nwachukwu)
First GOC, NA (Aguiyi Ironsi)

Military Era
First Military Head of State (Aguiyi Ironsi)

Second Republic
First Vice President (Alex Ekwueme)
First Speaker (Ume Ezeoke)

Third Republic
We already know what happened here.

Fourth Republic (First 8 years)
First President (SW)
First Vice President (NE)
First Senate President (SE)
First Speaker (NW)

Note: The SW was just compensated with the Presidency because of the 3rd republic debacle. All parties were directed to field only SW, because in a liberalized election, Obasanjo can never smell that seat. So this is NOT an achievement for the SW, because their own preferred candidate, Olu Falae was roundly defeated. In essence, greater Nigeria imposed Obj on them. They were even allowed to that position as a result of other Nigerians benevolence and in 2003, Obj had to beg Atiku, his VP kneeling down to allow him complete his term.

Fourth Republic (Second administration)
President (NW)
Vice President (SS)
Senate President (MB)
Speaker (SW)
Deputy Speaker (SE)
Deputy SP (SE)

Note: SW was kicked out of the House after the first tenure. They were not allowed to complete their zoned 8 years. Tambuwal took from Bankole.

Fourth Republic (third Administration)
President (SS)
Vice President (NW)
Senate President (MB)
Speaker (NW)
Deputy Speaker (SE)
Deputy SP (SE)

Fourth Republic (fourth Administration)
President (NW)
VP (SW)
Senate President (MB)
Speaker (NE)
Deputy SP (SE)
Deputy Speaker (SW)

Note: VP is the only achievement of SW in the fourth Republic, a position they got by the benevolence of His Excellency, the President. When they tested their political clout and sophistication at the national level outside the benevolence of Northern backed political clout, they were roundly defeated for the position of SP and Speaker. For SE to get Deputy SP when they don't truly deserve it means they command greater clout and sophistication, and the North prefers Political Cooperation with the East than West.

Don't forget the 4th Republic is just 18 years. You don't expect all the 6 regions to produce President within that 18 years. 3 has done their part, 3 are yet to do theirs. When time comes, nobody will stop Igbo Presidency.

When it comes to politics at National level, SW are just crawling. They can't beat SE political records or ever catch up with them.

The SW got the Presidency and Vice Presidency out of benevolence of people. The same way they love free owambe in real life. The only position they truly fought for President in 3rd Republic and Speaker in fourth Republic they were both disgraced out. While they were not even allowed to test the 3rd Republic Presidency, they were not allowed to complete their 8 years for speakership. Even the Military they got was out of necessity and Obj was pressured to return power to Civilian.

all these big political achievements and the south east is the one crying marginalisation keep living in denial

PDP playing opposition foolishly.

so because he said he thought he was still 74 the next thing is to resign? these are the same set of people that want to win the Presidential election in 2019.

PDP should start telling us how they intend to do in four years (2019-2023) what they couldn't do in 16yrs. is not enough for then to tell us buhari has failed without showing us the way out. give us the way out or we vote buhari again in 2019

have you ever withdrawn money from the ATM in ibadan?
do you have the experience of being chased by beggars. beggars with no deformity

stop telling silly lies. so once you use the ATM in Ibadan beggars start chasing you? you are just a pathetic liar

obonujoker:
So I decided to spend my Xmas with my bae in Ibadan.. To my utmost surprise, any bus stop I landed from challenge to Dugbe to Molete everywhere beg, beg, beg... I was even thinking it was only those yellow Lebanese, Alas I was wrong....

When I went to Shop rite( Palms ) mhen, the begging there ehn, I fear make dem no pickpocket me....

Please the governor should do something, and why is there no overhead bridge in Ibadan?? I have been crossing and crossing, na wa o...

Lastly no good food, are there no calabar or igbo food sellers in challenge ni... every where agege bread... except one iya dunni, and not every time someone will go for oven food at tantalizer....

If Ibadan is like this, only God knows how other parts of Oyo will be.... take a cue from Lagos state, and drive investors to this beautiful state...

And Agodi park in Mokola hill should be properly advertised.....

Pls governor do something about the begging..... especially these little kids.....

as for the begging you are complaining about there are beggars all around Lagos too.
you've obviously not seen 1/6 of Ibadan. you are complaining there is no good food because your girl doesn't have taste. you should visit Skye bank at bodija if you are ready to eat good food. this should also help

You are not informed. Even though the results was written, 2 Igbos are LG Vice Chairman in Lagos in an election APC won 100%.

Igbos don't do APC. Wait till 2019 when PDP will run for state and federal elections.

ibos make up 11m people out of 18m in Lagos and you only managed to get two vice chairman seats with tinubu's approval of course


your facts are so funny. I read your signature and I wanted to die of laughter

SouthEastFacts:
Ogun is Yoruba land, but Lagos is not.

lol that weed is very potent Lagos is IBO land

SouthEastFacts:
I only quoted a figure in that article. One thing I know is that 4 out of 10 people in Lagos are Igbos. If we use this to project the population of Igbos in the SW, it should be over 11 million, bearing in mind that Tinubu's census showed that 18 million people were living in Lagos during his tenure.

lol one out of four? where did the mumu in the article get his stat? he's just a deluded fellow like you that likes to quote figures from his ass

so 11m ibos in the south west and pop of Lagos at 18m is 40% of Lagos to you. you own post is very confusing to you hahahahahaha

if what you are trying to say is that ibos are 11m out of 18m people in Lagos then you must be very gullible. so other tribes including Yorubas are 7m? lol

SouthEastFacts:
Didn't you read the article? BTW, Tinubu govt said Igbos alone are 48% in Lagos.

buhahahahahaha ibos are 90% in Lagos

SouthEastFacts:
Start with the little you have.

Do you know how Islam is spreading and conquering Europe? Through migration.

Yorubas will one day regret their decision not to travel. 50% of people in SW are non indigenes and Ndi Igbo are uniting them.

The Hausas have started traveling down to the East and you are here locking yourself up in your enclave. Even contesting elections in the East.

lol if you really think 50% of people in the southwest are no Yoruba then you should visit Oyo, Ogun, osun, ondo and Ekiti and tell me at least 80% of the people there are not Yoruba
