Why Instagram?
How many Nigerians are on Instagram.
I'm personally not on Instagram and I haven't even heard most of names in that list.
How exactly are Ikorodu boys comedians for example.
The list is a bit pointless.
Facebook should be a better measure.

You see that I specifically mentioned to you that if the skit is Instagram comedy skits.

I really don’t know much about Facebook Comedy like that too so I won’t be able to argue that one.

Igboid:


Lol!
How is SW leading?
List the top hitters from SW.
I can only think of Mr Macroni, Elenu Lasisi and Broder Shaggi as A list skit makers from SW.
Whereas SE has like up to 10 of such.

Anti spam bot banned me.

But below is the post.

Nigercity:



Don't lemme think you own education is also a waste
Do u know the meaning of development
You think is by having roads and flyovers which Ebonyi has. Eh!
The problem between you and Arrewa is that you guys forget that the GDP of odinary IMO state is bigger than that of Kano (do your research and stop posting trash).
Have you even been to the north b4
Food is very cheap there yet majority can't afford it
Kano with GDP less than that of IMO receive more allocation than all South East state (just because of thre mere imaginary population).
So them building roads and flyovers in there state capital is no big deal, but less measure real development, education, human capital development, GDP e.t.c not arewa posting pictures of roads filled with alamajri beggers,

I don't usually response to all this tribal beef
But for that fact I no north well, I have too
And as the flyovers the have up north, ebonyi the poorest state in the east have a lot of them

Below are pictures of mini class residence in the east,
But ask Arrewa to post pictures of the north, (he will only post pictures of roads with a lot of bungalow) how many people up north apart from politicans can afford 3story building (not government estate oh)
The difference between development in Nigeria
Is that the development in the east is private driven
While that of the north is government driven
But apart from roads, in all indices of development east is far ahead North, Arrewa is only typing and posting trash with emotions

Ebonyi the poorest state in the east, is still Richer than many states in the North (do you research).
The poorest state in Nigeria is still the North
Infact if east and west (anything south) is beefing North shouldn't be chipping there mouth in,

Just try and visit north
You go cry
If only Arrewa knows what development is
He would have stopped disgracing his ancestors here and channel all his energy in entering politics and giving the north true and real development

Well I won’t hold brief for the Northerners, they should defend themselves.

However what do you mean by the government developed Kano (North) and the SE is privately developed? What does that statement actually mean?

Do you mean all the roads, bridges, infrastructures in the SE are built by the private citizens?

Or do you mean the houses, estates, buildings, industries, in Kano (North) was built by the government?

What is the meaning of the private people developed SE and government developed other places? You guys just use words without understanding the meaning.

Like I said, I wouldn’t expend much time defending the North but in terms of economic activities, Kano is not Imo state mate.

Lol this thread is funny.

This is the summary:

—Arrewa said Kano is more developed than any state in the SE combined and said Kano generate more IGR than any states in the East.

—Igbo people said: No one should respond to this thread LWKMD.

—Then another Igbo guy summoned courage to respond and said they have a share of that % of IGR from Kano. Come to think of it, why is the SE that contain 99.99% of Igbos low in IGR if Igbos are actually the one making the IGR of other state increase with their small % population??

The only answer is that it’s a lie. The sector that post the major IGR are the formal sector and the Igbos are not even represented in the formal sector. I have laid this argument on Nairaland, Lagos gain it’s highest IGR from PAYE which is from the Yoruba dominated sector and the Corporate companies in Lagos just like every other states.

—Then they switched to the SW. How many times have we shown you that Ogun state alone post more IGR than what any state in the SE can offer and Ogun also beats Kano hands down in that.

—The defense the Igbos usually use to cover their shame is that their government don’t tax them. That’s rubbish, you can’t tax what you don’t have because most of the well to do Igbos are not based in the SE. So who exactly will be the people to pay the taxes to the government?

—Present Igbo man with the poverty in his region and he will go about uploading pictures of few selected places, how exactly does uploading pics of selected part of a state justify the state economy? That showed you they have no other defense than to derail thread with the usual rubbish.

Lastly, Arrewa is saying nonsense about Igbo dominating business in Lagos. Business is not only about selling okirika cloth and spare part. There are several aspect of the economy, local market traders selling foods, people selling Ankaras/Aso Ebi, Real estate sector which the Yorubas dominate totally, Artisans, Formal sector, international corporation, and etc.

Igbos don’t dominate jack. Check the source of Lagos state government revenue and you will see the true fact!

HallaDaTruth:
Capitalism vs Socialism. You are still not getting the deep picture or the long term picture. I would rather own a business that my children can inherit. It goes beyond what you described as 2 shop. I can't live your life for you, if you like you can go into such partnerships. I remember when Nigerians were going into website building and the owning of servers, Google suddenly released GNBO ( Get Nigerian Businesses Online). That crashed what would have become the Nigerian dream to server dominance. Its called corporate tech slavery where all tech companies will be owned and controlled by the few elites. You mentioned the original owner of whatsapp, are you aware he sold that company under duress ?. Do you know that a behemoth like Google can decide to crush your company if you refuse to sell to them.?. There are so many social media companies that refused to sell out to Google and Facebook and they were either set up or were out played by monopolistic manipulations. A social media company known as gab was kicked out of all play stores cos they refused to promote the coperate world lie or sell to Google. Are you aware that liberty reserve was destroyed by PayPal just because they refused to sell. Suddenly we heard that the owner was involved in shady deals. Early this year payoneer was almost destroyed until they reached an agreement with mastercard. I have worked in this industry and if you refuse to bow to them, they find a way to get to you. I see a lot of people clapping at these feel good deals. They have no idea about what duress agreement takes place behind the scenes. Only a few elites wants to control the world of Tech, even food will be controlled by a few. Remember how chivita was purchased by coke. Are you aware that even local farmers will soon sign forced deals because as long as you buy foreign fertilisers and gmo seeds, they have a right to your food profit ?. Guy i don't want to go into details. Here is my advice for you. SELL NOT YOUR COMPANY. Many igbos know what they are doing with their "2 Shops"

Life does not revolve around 2 by 2 shops. There is nothing spectacular about buying and selling and it doesn’t require too much intelligence or expertise to that extent so I don’t see all this noise about Igbo 2 by 2 shops and how you tend to relate it to Fintech or IT companies springing up.

There are plenty of retail traders dealing in different merchandise, some lace &Ankara, some Hausa native wears and some ready made clothes and shoes. Its just a game of importing and reselling to the final consumer so I don’t see why you guys come online and equate that to fintech companies as comparison.

The world is moving away already from the regular brick and mortar stores and the next big think is now e-commerce and those online trading.

You mentioned Paystack, can you compare those to 2by2 shops? We are talking of people that sold intellectual property for millions of dollars and they can rise up tomorrow to create another platform and grow it up coz they already made the name for themselves coupled with the experience and networks.

There will always be a large enterprise which most times turn things to monopoly but that doesn’t sometimes stop new ideas to spring up and not an avenue to discourage young tech guys from dreaming.

Stop comparing 2by 2 retail stores to all these successful fintechs and IT startups, it’s sickening and it’s two separate things.

darfay:



They are Nigerians first?

What a joke!!!!

Xisnin:

It doesn't matter where they migrated from.
Everyone came from somewhere.
They have made their choice.
They are britons.

I can feel you guys pain!

Xisnin:
Rubbish.
They are britons and should be left alone.
Stop celebrating other people's achievement.

They are not only britons, they are Nigerians first.

Most of them migrated to the UK from Nigeria. MOST.

OfoIgbo:


I figured you were not interested in the truth.

You want me to believe an article in DAILY TRUST (Fulani) of all newspapers insinuating that no research actually took place to prove that Igbos are educationally more intelligent than any other ethnic group in the US, but in the same vein, you don't want to believe another article that was published in an Igbo website, that corroborated Chisala's findings.

Now I proposed us getting the record of the last 10 years; WAEC performaces according to the various geopolitical zones in the country, and you are rubbishing the suggestion as you already know that will also tally with Chisala's findings.

When you get serious, we can look at these facts critically. Bearing in mind that sampling has to be logical and the same across board.

Don't try to be clever by half bro. I Legendhero don't need DailyTrust or any Nigerian newspaper to discredit the Lambeth Study by Chisala. I personally read through the report and call you out myself because it is absurd for one to study just school in Lambeth alone and rush online to claim Igbos are intelligent as seen from the Igbo website.

I also showed you the full GCSE results with the cohort size and even provided another GCSE results with Yoruba topping it by mean scores.

How exactly is Lambeth related to the US tho? Lambeth in the Uk is used to judge a far away USA, does that make any sense to you bro?

I have been asking you guys to validate your claim that Igbos dominate USA but NO ONE have been able to provide any evidence or sources, is that how much you are incapable to thorugh research to justify your assertions?

Now how does WAEC come into this issue? WAEC that almost 50% of the people writing it engage in one form of examination malpractices. The same WAEC where the exam questions are always available in the media space few days to the exams is what you are using to support an argument?

Like I said, you guys always find a derailing tactics when you have been boxed to the corner. You mentioned a ridiculous factless statement, I told you to prove it, you gave Lambeth study, I gave you superior evidence as to why the Lambeth study is useless, you accepted my argument, BUT now rush back to bring WAEC to derail the issue of discourse.

I'm asking once again, what is your proof that Igbo dominate USA?

candidtalk:


Rubbish. Igbo dishonesty and deciet at work again. Igbo do not dominate the USA. You are lying and this has been proven factually here many times.

Their deceit is already known to sane minds. They themselves most times don't believe the lies they churn out honestly.

If you ask the guy to give you some clues to his assertions of them dominating USA now, he will start derailing the thread with emptiness.

EdmundChidera:
Is ss a tribe

Let's check America and other European countries to know the Igbo relevance as usual.

E-warrior

If you like check Finland, Russia, or Antarctica you can’t compare the number to what can be obtainable in the UK and who told you there ain’t Yorubas making impact in those places too?

Did anybody told you there are more Igbos in America than Yoruba or why do you guys keep saying rubbish? I asked ofoigbo the other time too he couldn’t provide the evidence or any clue to that assertions.

Where are the Igbo relevance in Europe and how many countries in Europe besides the UK will allow such mass elected continental African politicians in their country? Or you guys just talk without thinking?

In America, we Nigerians have the indigenous black (African American) people to contend with and that naturally limit the number of our people (Continental Africans) that can be visible in terms of political participation.

The UK don’t have that much number of indigenous blacks (like the African Americans in the US), and the continental African blacks represent a huge number in the UK and that is why you can see such number of elected politicians there.

If you search for any achievements of black people in the UK either sport, politics, business, education, tech, and etc, there will always be Nigerians in the top 10 and that Nigerian will most likely be a Yoruba.

He’s just like a village boy. Just grab any jargons and rush to Nairaland to showcase it.

Otondo IGR doesn't measure economy, with the high IGR your governors declear Anambra still ranked top among your states in Sustainability index minus Lagos.


Anambra state economy is controlled by indigenous, the state tax them low or sometime give them tax break to encourage them, unlike your region others control.

I try going to budgit to check what metrics they used to conclude the sustainability index and I am vindicated.

The below is what they wrote about what they used:

”In this report, Lagos leads the fiscal sustainability index, followed by Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Kano states. Access to audited statements brought out some facts on the true state of recurrent expenditure in focus states. We discovered states, such as Delta, running huge recurrent expenditure reaching N200bn. Bayelsa, despite its size and population, has a high recurrent bill as high as N137bn, compared with Ebonyi with a recurrent bill of N30bn, Sokoto (N38bn), Jigawa (N43bn), Yobe (N35bn), etc. It is a recurring theme to see states in South-South Nigeria running high recurrent bills, mainly driven by the high revenues earned due to the 13% derivation.”


Can you see what I said earlier about the sustainability index and how you shouldn’t bandy it around as a measure of economy like the Real GDP, IGR, and etc?

Check the second chart for monthly revenue for each state. Can you see Anambra has low revenue, very low revenue which showed the state is all hype. The only thing helping them is that they have low recurrent bills.

I am teaching you all this for free coz I know they won’t teach you in the mushroom schools you attend in upper Iweka.

Anambra state economy is controlled by indigenous, the state tax them low or sometime give them tax break to encourage them, unlike your region others control.

Sustainability index that you see is basically a factor of the recurrent expenditure, state debt, revenue, of a particular state and how much they expend recurrently as running cost.

Using labor for example, if your state revenue is $2000, and you spend $1500 on your labor force, you will have a high sustainability index than another state with revenue of $2000 with $1800 labor force spending.

It’s not a measure of real economic indices coz if for example my state lay off workers and lessen the spend, their sustainability index will suddenly increase.

I’ve always known you’re not sharp, you just see charts and rush to Nairaland to showcase them without actually understanding what they represent.

The only reason why Anambra is on that spot on the sustainability index chart is because it has a low recurrent expenditure,low debt rate.

Below are typical example of state recurrent expenditure:
—Personnel Costs (Basic and Allowance)
—NYSC /Interns (Allowances)
—Other Personnel Cost (Contingency)
—Pension Protection Fund
— Govt. Share to Pension Contribution
—Pension & Gratuities (Civil Service/ Teaching Services)
—Pension & Gratuities (Judiciary)
—Retirement Planning/Contingencies Expenses/Pensions
—Pension Sinking Fund
—Severance Pay (Pol. Off. Holders)
—Health Insurance Premium for Public Servants
—Debt charges

Amotekun will begin full operation after the Corona.. At least some of the Info Amotekun officers arrested some herdsmen with their cows some weeks ago and handed them over to to the police.

It's just a matter of time

Just few days ago. Amotekun dealt with some foreigners and any troublesome person that want to do anyhow in the SW will be eaten raw by the ever fall and Amotekun officers.

Lol ipejopo awon asinwin!

As if you guys can equal them even on a level playing ground.If you doubt me,organise academic competition and see......you expect a region where 99% of it's citizens go to school to have low turnout of malpractice?,get a life bro!

See how you are justifying crime. That’s why I said it’s more of a way of life to people over there. They have seen crime as a culture and will always defend it without shame.

One of them was defending baby factory the other time and I was like what the f*ck is this guy saying.

LOL what academic competition?

Which of those competitions by the way? Can you mention them so we can check those that have led those competitions right from time.

These guys are simply cheats and the funniest thing is that they don’t see all these attitude as bad.

A region where special centers exists even within public schools in the cities and one would wonder whether its a curse to always indulge in crimes.

If they can expose these ones, imagine thousands of other candidates that succeeded in malpractices without getting caught.

JAMB and WAEC should devise a foolproof method to stop all these malpractices going forward. It can be done, they just need to find a way to achieve that.

RIP sir!

PHijo:

Why can't you see that the same law applies to other Southern groups apart from the Yorubas?

Continue trading with your Northern partners but some using the Niger Delta's wealth to trade with your Fulani partners. Why form amotekun when you can freely trade off your land as you've done in the last 2 centuries.

Where on earth did you get the idea I am Igbo?!

The earlier Ijaws and other ethnic nations in Nigeria learn Nigeria is a fraud programmed to benefit the Fulani and Yoruba, the better it will be for them.

It is obvious the Yoruba elite are hell bent on creating a Yoruba hegemony in Southern Nigeria that will be subservient to their Fulani partners.

You are free to trade with your Fulani partners but not with the resources of others.

The sole reason Tinubu fought Jonathan was because of oil bloc he failed to give him. Despite the fact Jonathan had oil blocs in his village he never alloted one to himself yet Tinubu expected him to give him oil blocs without following due process.

Lol. Trading that I mentioned was during centuries ago. In the 1600s when the likes of Ahmad Baba of the Mali ventured into present day Nigeria. The Hausas were trading with the Oyo empire then.

I haven’t seen any relationship between any Igbo or Ijaw with the Yorubas of the old. Hence I don’t think there is any similarities between us going by the past.

Jonathan is a clueless man that turned his back on the people he needed most. We Yorubas voted in our majority for him in 2011 even when ACN was the party that won governorship in the SW. The same Tinubu supported him then coz Jonathan won Lagos and it’s public opinion. Jona paid back with abuse and thought he can do without the Yorubas who are the second most influential tribe in Nigeria in terms of vote number.

We owe no one any apology for voting out that thing in 2015 and you can all go to hades if you think the Yorubas owe any southern group any allegiance. So Tinubu need your oil well? Is there any source to back your claim that he requested for oil well from Jonathan? This is a public forum and not a village square!

PHijo:


The question is not if an Igbo has been on the ballot of a major party. The primary problem is the Yoruba attitude towards the rest of Southern Nigeria.

How can't you guys see that we are different people? The Yorubas are totally different from the Igbos and there is no law that says we should think alike.

All through our history, there is little contact between the Yorubas and the Igbos and infact the Yorubas have more relationship with the northerners than the Igbos coz of trade centuries ago.

When your people were voting against Yoruba interest between 1959 - 1999, where is the southern unity? When you guys voted the Fulanis against the Yoruba frontline contestants during those periods where is the acclaimed similarities?

Bro, you guys should understand we are both totally different. In our approach to situation, the difference is very clear!

PHijo:


That is NOT true!
The Igbo have supported Fulani candidates, a Yoruba candidate and an Ijaw candidate.

They took a principled stance against APC and Buhari in 2015 and 2019.

If anyone says the Igbo cannot unite, 2011, 2015 and 2019 says otherwise.

The problem of Southern Nigerian politics is the Yoruba, not the Igbo. You guys are so fixed on your interest and make no room to accommodate that of others.

When have you ever presented a presidential candidate that the Yoruba did not support?

Since 1999, no Igbo man was on the ballot as the presidential candidate for the two leading parties. So how is that Yoruba problem?

27Pushing30:


First sane comment I’ve read here , guy it’s quite obvious that most Nigerians are illiterate or autistic lol see the commenters above you na. Smh

Don’t mind them.

Below is the picture of Sanwo-Olu with his colleagues of the APC governors forum and him showing the pics to the president.

He just killed two birds with a stone.

nabiz:
you are wrong and stop twisting issues. Go back and read what he wrote word to word. Close your eyes without bias and ponder on the his choice of words, and you will realise that he intentionally went there for that purpose. He even state it there that his purpose of visiting the president is to source for fund

Well I am not wrong. You are wrong and I’ll explain.

Sanwo-Olu killed two birds with one stone. He went to Abuja for the APC governors meeting on the issue of Oshiomhole and used the avenue to give the president first hand report on the explosion in a bid to source funding from FG. Check MURIC statement today, you will see he also said FG should support Lagos with funds.

Below is the image of Sanwo-Olu with the governors and him showing pics to the president. Can you see that he wore the same cloth?

Now apologize if you think I convince you with my explanation.

What is wrong in Sanwo-Olu sourcing for fund from the FG? Is Buhari the owner of the money or the FG?
