If your leaders can't develop their region even while it's still in nigeria, then they probably can't do any better if given their biafra. You can't give what you don't have.

Empiree:
I said it yesterday that "make no mistake, the same Oduduwa agitators are sabotaging Yorùbá nation"

And biafra is free of saboteurs that's why you guys have been on the matter for years.

Afonja is the word.No need hurling expletives ;Even true yorubas dont like Afonjas.Afonja is the word for Fulani asskissing bastards.Saves typing stress

The issue is that people like you celebrate stupidity and ignorance......if we check well you're probably from some south eastern hellhole currently ravaged by Ugm and fulani herdsmen while your governors look on like helpless puppies. Few days ago fulani herdsmen cracked the skulls of 60 easterners in ebonyi but you're here talking about "Afonja's"......lol the worst is yet to come for all you flatin0s.

jneutron4000:
Idiott, this is the reason why Yoruba WILL NEVER work with Igbos Iyamiris, very foolishh set of people who do not use their brain to reason, Fulanis just throw a format for you and you fell for it and start insulting your people. In your miserable life, have you ever heard of Yoruba Obas in the North? Just phase one of Fulani format which is even to destabilise Yoruba growing Nationalism, you Igbos fell for it, what if they Fulani gather some half Yoruba and half Hausa Fulanis in the North, give them money to start pushing for one Nigeria, I wonder how you will overcome that format. To cut the long story short, nothing like Yoruba Oba in the North, in fact the current Yoruba Oba in Kano is half Yoruba half Hausa Fulanis, and he is doing the bidding of the North because Nobody in Yorubaland recognize the nonsense he is doing.

It's why I call the "southern unity" bullshit....... those people are highly emotional and silly.

Lmao. The north doesn't stop to amaze me......wtf is yoruba obas in the north. Since when did we have have obas in the north.......let this "Yoruba" obas allow for open grazing within their domains in the north.......Oyo state will not give an inch of land to some foolany bororos.

IDeyNL:
Although the attack on the onions truck was unfortunate. But where were you when Yoruba youths attacked tomatoes truck I'm south west? Of course you hid

Unlike yorubas who started making noise everywhere when there was a boycott of tomatoes in south west, the Igbos never reacted to the threat of boycott of onions in south east. We no dey hungry.

Tinubu will never become president.

False.....less than 24hours the news the ban on onions was effected your Ohanieze has already started bitching marginalization....as usual http://saharareporters.com/2021/06/03/blockage-onions-south-east-part-conspiracy-attack-igbos%E2%80%94-ohanaeze-ndigbo

Plus the attacks on food trucks during the EndSARS saga wasn't limited to the south west alone, there are videos of easterners attacking food tracks and stealing goats that arrived from the north.

[s]Regional revenue not total of federal allocation and regional revenue (igr).
Yes the SW had more Federal revenue from Nigerias common wealth hence the higher total yearly revenue, But the SE contributed more to the federal revenue and generated more Regional revenue.
Explaining it in lay man terms, in 1960, the western region generated (what we now call igr) 4,000 pounds from taxes while the Eastern region generated 5000 pounds ,but the colonial government paid (what we now call Federal allocation) 15,000 against 9,000 to west.
The colonial masters dispensed funds to the regions based on landmass and population (The british definitely wrote the 1999 constitution).
In other words,all I have been pointing out is that the East generated more Igr than the West before independence[/s]

Trash.....no where in that table is allocation stated, What's there is Revenues generated from the region that goes to the federal, and revenues generated from the region that goes to the region.

All the articles and screenshots you posted proved nothing about the claims you're making nor the high standards of living of igbos before the war. Simply empty ranting.

The New York Times article of 1964 best explains Nigeria.

eduj:
The headline stated revenue/expenditure not only revenue.
The Colonials operated as much as the present Nigerian government during that period.
Regions generated income (igr you guys love so much this days ) through taxes while the Federal/colonial government was in charge of Export duties (Nigeria's major source of income before and till now-oil).

In essence, you guys depended on the federal allocation+ loans to run before independence.
But come on,I shouldn't be teaching you all this na-shebi novi una go reference this document before I see am.

check this one out

Stop being stupid.

The circled in blue is the section for current revenues, the underlined in red is the total of for the Total Current revenues and the circled black is the section for expenditure...... you're obviously rettarded.

eduj:
The SE through the coal mine at udi powered Nigeria's railway and power plants before and after independence -Fact

The screenshot below said much of the coal was used for railways, never said anything about power plants, never even said anything about anything after Independence. Plus I wasn't disputing the fact that enugu was known for coal.

eduj:
why are you running?

The SE had more Regional revenue than the SW before independence -Fact

False.....based on the screenshots shared by you.....the sum total of revenue generated by the western region clearly out numbers that of the eastern region..... you're being half smart by stating revenues generated in the region solely for the region.

Igboid:
Pained Yoruba Muslim.

Where is your stat for the type of crimes committed by Igbo prisoners?

Resisting a colonial tax collector was a crime in 1940 punishable by jail sentence or fines.
Resisting British colonialism was a crime and all the warriors who fought and lost were summarily arrested and jailed.
No where in Nigeria were there more resistance to colonialism than Igboland,the Igbos were never a people to accept subjugation without putting up a fight,so rationally speaking, there should be more Igbo prisoners than any other ethnicity in Nigeria.

I mean Yorubaland literally invited the British to come and colonize them after they got tired of protracted Kiriji wars. So how exactly were they going to have high colonial prisoners?

Atleast I've shown a stat of the ethnicities of prisoners, bring your own stat showing the crimes of those individuals, you you're freedom fighters but all what your freedom fighter leaders know how to do best from Ojukuwu to Nnamdi kanu is to run abroad disguised women .
Quit your stupid islamophobic nature, just like Benjamin Adekunle who killed a thousand of your brothers and mothers in the war.....just like him I am a full blooded Yoruba christain.

Goodnight, am done with your stupidity.

eduj:
And which claim is that?
you where at the other thread shouting to the high heavens that the SE has always been parasitic, now am showing you screenshots from a document you guys referenced,and also put together by a Yoruba man you are getting jittery?

I hope people actually read the screenshots you're posting....cus you're disproving yourself. Seems you plan on editing it later to fit your argument.

Anyways bye.

Igboid:
So basically you can't prove their crime.
And so it's subject to anyone interpretation.

But I Know the crime should be in that document you screenshot and posted here but for some reason it doesn't suit your agenda, so you are keeping it to yourself.


Well either way, until you provide stats of their crimes, your current stat remains meaningless and open to any interpretation.

Traditional Igbo society never had rapists or armed robbers, neither did we have drugs of abuse.
So your stat is obviously useless.

But we know for certain the crimes of Yorubas here and that they lead in them:https://www.nairaland.com/2246902/criminal-infested-region-southern-nigeria

Still making stupid claims sharing no data but stupid NL threads created by rettards like you.... you're living proof of that stupidity is prevelent in igboland.

gwafaeziokwu:
Was waiting for your dumb head to disprove the fact you just bolded. When you are rich enough to bankroll a war, then there is no argument.

As for that allegory to Dangote, can we now put it to rest that Hausas and Yorubas making it to the top 5 in the forbe list for Nigeria is not a proof that both tribes are the richest in Nigeria.

Case closed cheers!

Running from Piller to post, shifting post and displaying your stupidity, go lay on your mat.

eduj:
Nope it simply means that more taxes were paid in the East than the West.
A part of that book has an employment survey -i will post it.

Hope you looked at the loan section ?
And a rejoinder, the Colonials shared allocation gotten from export duties to the regions and from what am seeing here,the SE generated more than the Sw

The screenshots you're posting doesn't validate any of your claims.

Igboid:
Your stat is incomplete and left to any interpretation.

Bring forth the adjoining stats for the offense of the prisoners, then we have a deal.

We know that in Igboland there was a fierce war against colonialism by every single Igbo clan with Aro-Anglo war and Ekumeku war being the biggest and most popular, and that each of the wars were accompanied by British victory and subsequent mass arrest and imprisonment of the warriors and their ring leaders.
Chinua Achebe outlined this in TFA novel.

We also know that Igbos saw taxation as alien and unacceptable and revolted violently against it which led to many arrests of defaulters by colonial police we called "Cotuma" and subsequent imprisonment of defaulters.
This led to the famous Aba women riot subsequently.

So until you provide stats that show the crimes committed by Igbo prisoners. Your stat remain meaningless.

Bring stats showing that those Igbo jail birds were prisoners of war and probably not ngua cannibals, Igbo rapists and robbers.

.

eduj:
I guess your eye went to the federal colonial revenue instead of the regional revenue (thats the igr you guys can't stop getting of now).
Going from the above, the East generated more Regional revenue than the west.
Heck, if that ebook is to be believed ,kano had the largest number of international flights before independence

That just simply means that your regional governments were taxing you more than the federal allowing for more revenues for the region compared to other regions. What's important is the total and the difference is quite clear.

Igboid:
Lol!
And what were their crime?
For all we know majority of them could have been mainly Ekumeku warriors captured at the end of the war, they could have been Aro warriors captured by the end of Anglo-Aro war, they could have been colonial tax defaulters, no other place in Nigeria were there more resistance to colonial rule than in Igboland and most of them were arrested and tried by colonial courts and there after jailed.

So until you attach the crimes of those Igbo prisoners, your stat is meaningless and is open to any interpretation any one likes.

But here, we have stats of Yoruba criminals and their crimes:https://www.nairaland.com/2246902/criminal-infested-region-southern-nigeria

We know their crimes were not related to resistance to colonial rule.

Could haves, assumptions and 0 facts or data......I don't expect more from a dumbass.

eduj:
I just found one of the books those guys used to try insult our intelligence.
Now compare the regional generated revenue of the SE,SW and the North- interestingly the SW comes last

Lol you shot yourself in the foot.

Are you honestly rettarded or you didn't read the screenshot you posted...

gwafaeziokwu:
At least my lectures are bearing fruits. Next time don't present the average income of subsistent farmers in a remote village in the eastern heartland as the average yearly income of Igbos in Nigeria before the civil war.


The other dick measuring contest about having more bank branches than the East as at 1960 is none of my business. If you had stopped at that, trust me I would have ignored your thread just as I had always ignored some ignorant rants here. Last time I checked in the period under purview an Igbo man Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu was the richest man in Nigeria. It's about the quality of bank deposit for us not proliferation branches. But trying to confuse some gullible people with deliberate misinformation is a no for me. Cheers

From making wrong and false claims to outrightly showing your stupidity......for how long will you suffer me with your foolishness o ye flatin0.. the bolded is like inferring that because dangote is the richest man in Africa thus the north is doing ok and that majority of them aren't living in poverty. You made no sense and you're just simply daft, and it's a known fact that ojukwu for some part used his father's wealth to fund his stupid war bankrupting his old man even before the war ended........ I honestly have no words for you.

Cheers.

PoloG:
They quickly go beg tompolo but they kill igbos anytime they try to chestbeat becuase they know they don't have anything to offer nigeria

Aptly put....

Igboid:
But available data shows that SW has highest rate of crime in Nigeria and Lagos was collated separately from SW in the stats.
Whether as individuals or groups. Yorubas lead in crime rate in Nigeria
https://www.nairaland.com/2246902/criminal-infested-region-southern-nigeria

See the above stats for yourself.

You also have a drug Baron as your political Jagaban.

And a drug addict/Baron as your governor:

True....but like every highly urbanized cities high crime rates aren't surprising, we have your economic refugees brothers coming from the east and hausa/foolany polio amputees coming from the north all to our region... So why wouldn't crime rates be high, although it's not stopping all foreign embassies and multinationals from situating in our "unsafe" region. But what's important is the data of ethnicities in those prisons, we won't have such data again but below is one conducted by your colonial white masters in the 1940s/50s. It obviously shows populate the prisons more than other tribes and am sure if we take an honest census like this today it won't be any different.

ThEGodFaThEr101:
You're mentally skewed! The history of armed robbery is very important in today's school curriculum. This will help pupils and student to know when and how criminality started and evolved in Nigeria. Yorubas invented armed robbery, kidnapping, popularly known as "Gbeomo Gbeomo", ritual killings, skull mining, Agbero, Land grabbing and a host of other social vices.

Lol....ok

gwafaeziokwu:
You posted a verdict on your poor educational background, dunce. What you posted has no correlation with your title or the claims you made afterwards. Therefore it is null and void.

Someone who can't differentiate between a report on average income of subsistent farmers in a remote hinterland and bank deposits of the average Easterners living in Enugu, Port Harcourt, Onitsha, Owerri, Lagos, Kano, etc do not deserve any enlightenment.

For now you are discussing subsistent agriculture, when you are ready to discuss actual bank deposits, tag me if you chop liver and we shall roll. Now gerraout! !

The data is quite accurate and a shows the true picture of the yearly earnings of igbos in the east..... urbanization in Nigeria wasn't even up to 25% as at that time, and a large percentage of the population where still living in rural areas...... you're just jumping around showing your stupidity, bringing no counter facts or proofs, just dry insults and you hyperventilating.... am literally feeling your pains.

gwafaeziokwu:
Even your dumb brother showed us a table that detailed how many bank branches that was in eastern Nigeria as at 1960. Since we all agreed that the banks were situated in Eastern Nigeria, which population does the bank serve? Who made deposits into the banks, Yorubas? Or are you telling me that Yorubas are the ones occupying eastern Nigeria.

calm down read the read the table....if you have eyes and aren't rettarded you'd see that the south east had the lowest number of banks in Nigeria so what on Earth are you even saying, it's a simple table to read......now you're just being stupid, and it's hilarious.

ThEGodFaThEr101:
The ruthless armed robber in Nigeria after Anini was a Yoruba Man. Google is there to help you.

This why you're daft....Jesse James, AlCapone and billy the kid were some of the most famous and ruthless criminals in america and they were all white but it didn't change the fact that majority of the convicted criminals were african american men. So even if the most famously ruthless criminals were all yoruba's it doesn't translate into them having the most convicted robbers and jail birds... It's why data analysis is important and not just rettardedly relying on Google searches.

gwafaeziokwu:
You are beyond stupid anu! Who do you think you are playing that dumb game with. You got caught pants down with everything dangling in the open and you couldn't run in to cover your embarrassment.


I don't need to post any damned article. I just hanged you with the one you cropped. Half educated dimwit trying to feel among. Guy don't provoke me abeg. Nonsense!

You don't need to post anything because you're a dimwitted dunce like your father who goes around making accusations and claims backed up with nothing....i posted facts and figures, you replied with insults and your display of stupid.....same as all your dimwitted brothers have done. But you're only displaying your stupidity and giving this thread more views.

gwafaeziokwu:
You are a complete bush man. The first sentence of the article you cropped would have given you an idea of what the text was all about. But no, you ran along like a mad man to expose the kind of fake education you lots received in the Southwest.

Now answer me, is the article or page you cropped talking about the average deposit made to the bank by all Igbos in Nigeria as at 1964. Or is it talking about the average income of subsistent farmers in a rural/ remote village in eastern heartland.


Does this your hate induced, poorly articulated garbage you just fed your fellow nincompoons from the wasteland also cover the average salaries and income earned by Federal civil servants which we all know was dominated by the Igbos pre civil war.

Does your wishful imagination of a poor Eastern region also include the likes of Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu and other successful Igbo business men plying their trades all over Nigeria as at 1964?

How stupid can you guys really get bikonu.

Igboid

You're reposting the same article I posted.
Can you kindly post the full article you claimed I cropped out, or are you just trying to show your stupidity like the rest of your brothers have. Post the full article you claimed I cropped out or shut the hell up.
