You are a fool...Rulers of emirate are been rotated inside the sheik Alimi dynasty.

Why do you love to wail over another person matter.

YUNGCONCEPT11:
Ok

Do you think that ilorin is just like other places..
You see that town is beyond your mind grasp .
That city cannot be compared to any emirate in Nigeria.
Any governor that tried making a single move would regret coming to planet Earth.

That emirate consist of different tribes coming together...don't even think of it walahi

PROUD ILORITE

manchy7531:
The kwara state governor should take a cue from the Governor of Kano state Ganduje and break up the ilorin emirate into 5, creating Oba's to pacify the yorubas and retain the Gambari as emir of ilorin. Opc take note

KidsNEXTdoor:

Low self esteem is a disease...

Yoruba community in enugu........
Anyway welcome Prof osinbajo

technuel:
And one thing you don't know is that there is massive secret migration going on now, I visit the east almost every month. Just wait till all these seaports springing up in the south south region is completed and your eyes will open to the fact that Igbos have shown Lagos their back.

Mind you and write it down somewhere, with this nonsensical atitude of the Yoruba's towards peaceful Igbo Traders Lagos will very soon live innits past glory. There are many powerful cities coming to take over.

My problem is that the south south and south East Governors are not innovators and thinkers if not they should come together and build a rail way system, seaport and focus on regional economic integration that will catalyse rapid development in the popular cities within the region.

Even with the hardship over there, I'll choose to reside in Venezuela than Nigeria. After all, they don't kidnap or do skull mining.

googi:
This Yoruba people na wah.

Dey give other ethnic group hypertension.

Kilode!

soulpeppersoup:
Biafra is an Igbo word. Bia means come. Ofara means I disagree. Biafra means we refuse to join you.

soulpeppersoup:
I didn't ask you the Igbo meaning. Since you know it has no Ijaw meaning, then it was never for the Ijaws as claimed by Asari.

soulpeppersoup:
What is the meaning of Biafra in ijaw language?

Xander85:
You’re so bloody predictable! Was scrolling down to see the first bastard to go ‘tribal’ on the thread, and of course it has to be you....a rabid and bitter Igbo hater!

Don’t let me stop you doing what you do....knock yourself out mate!

truefact:
At least to shame of diabolical afonjas, he accepts that he is a biafrans...this means SS, ND, Ijaw is a Biafra land....
....though asari is a true fat ful to exclude himself and his ijaw people as the real kidnappers and ritualistic occultist when he even claimed he fortified the ipob in his previous video

Olu20090:
Dangote is a pidgin to Sir Louis Ojukwu. Dangote is just a front for government. Abiola, though another government front was even greater than Dangote!

Olu20090:
Afonja and envy. Think Igbos are their mate? SMH.

THE INSPIRATIONAL STORY OF DANGOTE SIR LOUIS OJUKWU
[s]
A lot of people may not know who Sir Louis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu is besides the fact that he was the father of late Biafran Warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu. But the fact is that he was one of the greatest Business men ever produced in Africa and one of the richest. It beggars belief that Sir Ojukwu went to Lagos with nothing in 1929 aged just 20 but 10 years later aged just 30, he was already managing his own chain of businesses which included, Ojukwu Stores, Ojukwu textiles and Ojukwu transportation company. By 1950, just Ojukwu Transportation company had over 200 trucks in its fleet. How did he do it?

Born Louis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu in Nnewi in 1909, the only boy and second of four children,Sir Ojukwu went to Government primary School Asaba. In 1922, he proceeded to the only secondary School in the Eastern region at the time, Hope Waddell training institute, Calabar. After completing his secondary School education in 1928.

Sir Louis secured a job as a tyre sales clark with John Holt Lagos in 1929. It was working as a tyre clark the Sir Louis Ojukwu noticed that many Igbo traders who came to Lagos to buy tyres also bought textiles as well. With his meagre saving, Sir Louis travelled down to Onitsha where he opened his first business venture called "Ojukwu stores" and employed one of his relatives to oversee it. He then returned to Lagos and started sending down textiles on Lorries to his shop while still working for John Holt. Sir Louise's textile boomed.

By 1930, Louis bought a second hand truck and employed a driver in other move his goods himself and 'Ojukwu transport company' was born. Sir Ojukwu worked tirelessly and by end of the 1930's, was the major transporter on the East-West Road. In 1939, on the outbreak of world war 2, the British Government requested the use of Sir Ojukwus fleet of trucks for the War effort to which he agreed.

When the war ended in 1945, the British Goverment recognised the sacrifice he made and he was awarded a KBE (Knight of the British Empire). The end of the war also created a high demand for raw materials from West Africa and sir Ojukwus Transport business exploded sky high and he diversified into other businesses.

Some of Sir Ojukwu's early drivers such as Chief Ilodibe (Ekene Dili Chukwu) and Chief Izuchukwu (Izuchukwu Transport) would later become Transport moguls themselves.

Sir Ojukwu was so rich that in 1956 when the Queen visited Nigeria, the British authorities had to borrow his Rolls Royce and personal driver to chauffeur the Queen around. Sir Louis was also a financial pillar of Ziks NCNC party and when the party came to power in 1960, Sir Louis was offered the position of Finance Minister which he turned down, the position ultimately went to Okotie-Eboh. Sir Louis died in Nkalagu, present day Ebonyi state, in 1966. Sir Louis CV is the most intimidating I have ever seen and probably will ever see. He was:

1)The first President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange
2) President, African Continental Bank
3) Chairman, Nigerian cement company (NIGERCEM)
4) CEO, Ojukwu Transport company...over 5000 fleet of trucks
5) Chairman, Nigerian National Shipping Line...over 100 ships and vessels
6) Chairman, Lion Of Africa Insurance Company
7) Chairman, BISCO Nigeria Limited
cool Chairman, Nigerian Industrial Development Bank...founded to specifically give loans to industries
9) Vice President, Lagos Chamber Of Commerce
10) Chairman, Palmline Shipping company
11) Chairman, Nigerian Produce Marketing board
12) Chairman, Eastern Nigerian Development Corporation
13) Chairman, Costain west Africa
14) Director, Shell D'Arcy Petroleum
15) Director, Thomas Wyatt & Son
16) Director, Nigerian Coal corporation
17) Director, Guiness Nigeria Limited
18) Director, Nigerian Tobacco Company
19) Director, Daily Times of Nigeria

The man was simply larger than life. Sir Louis also owned numerous building, landed properties and stocks. It is estimated that as at the time he died in 1966, he was worth about 40 Billion Dollars in today's money[/s].
