SEFAGO: Thousands of Yoruba are living and investing in Igboland. I can give a few examples. If you personally do not want, your concern, and please stop moaning about your personal concern which is at best irrelevant here. |

Even before Zik and Awo wahala Ojukwu's father and other Igbos were already owning properties in Lagos and the North. What stopped the Yoruba from doing so then? |
Politics / Re: Because Ojukwu Was Involved. by mekuszyx: 9:45pm On Feb 07, 2010 |
SEFAGO: There are thousands of Yoruba in Enugu and thousands more in other Igbo states. We have shown something to that effect here. The Yoruba are just plain unable to compete with the Igbo even in Lagos and Ibadan, how much more in Enugu, an Igbo turf? Lazy incompetent nincompoops |

Ted Bundy: Post the pics. The Yoruba ones are usually far uglier. They also parade their own bodies too, which is part of the beauty pagent process. |

The next ''civil war'' will be in Yoruba states during next election. Watch out for the number of deaths that will be recorded. |

Anyways, people all this one we are blowing na grammar. The important thing be say nobody die for the election unlike our Yoruba states of Ekiti, Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Lagos and Ondo. |

SEFAGO: Monkey. You dot not know if Ojukwu is my father, uncle or kinsman. Why do you insult him? The quesion remains, why is Ojukwu described in a different way than the other rich Nigerians of then? Why is the probability (by use of perhaps) not extended to others? Yo claimed your father fought during the war, why not go ask him who was richer between Ojukwu Snr. and the others.u |

Politics / One Significance Of Anambra Gubernatorial Election by mekuszyx: 9:11pm On Feb 07, 2010 |
Obi becomes the first elected gov in Anambra to win a re-election. This is significant on its own. |
Politics / Re: Because Ojukwu Was Involved. by mekuszyx: 9:08pm On Feb 07, 2010 |
~Bluetooth:And the same article says ''Ojukwu was perhaps, the wealthiest Nigerian of his generation: a multi-millionaire businessman'' What do you mean by low profile? Do you care to explain? Thanks. |
Politics / Re: Because Ojukwu Was Involved. by mekuszyx: 9:07pm On Feb 07, 2010 |
Sjeazy8, Try as hard as you can, you will not give victory to an AC party in Anambra. You did not vote in Anambra and you are in no position to know who rigged and who did not. Is AC now a party full of saints? So Tinubu, Atiku and Fasola are now saints? How again did Fasola become the gov of Lagos? Please remind us. |
Politics / Re: Because Ojukwu Was Involved. by mekuszyx: 9:04pm On Feb 07, 2010 |
OluEmperor and others Ojukwu is somebody's father and grandfather. If you do not want your own fathers insulted, then stop insulting an almost 80-years old man (Ojukwu). |

Ezenwenyi: Because people like you want it so. The last time you created a poll ommitting Obi, an incumbent. Now the same Obi wins the election and you allege that it was because Ojukwu was involved. Did you not know that Obi belongs to a party headed by Ojukwu? |

1. ''Like Odutola, Louis Ojukwu attained prominence as an astute businessman and one of the first millionaires the country produced.'' 2. ''Ojukwu was perhaps, the wealthiest Nigerian of his generation: a multi-millionaire businessman'' No other persons listed on that website was described in such a manner. Now if you believe the story you posted about the Yoruba pioneer rich men, why would you not believe this one? They are from the same website. More insight below" ''As a transport operator, he was a tireless worker and meticulous to detail; he was usually the first to inspect his transport vehicles for oil and leakages. Apart from his work ethic, his success was also oiled by the economic boom after World War II, working with the West African Railway Company and the newly inaugurated produce boards; he provided his fleet for commodity transportation and for other traders’ use. During the 1950s, he diversified his interest, bought some industries, invested heavily in the real estate sector and became a director in numerous major corporations. He was a member of the board of Nigerian Coal Corporation, Shell Oil D’Archy, and African Continental Bank. Ojukwu was perhaps, the wealthiest Nigerian of his generation: a multi-millionaire businessman, who was chairman of UAC (West Africa), the Nigerian Stock Exchange, director of Shell-BP with vast ownership of investment property in Lagos, Kano, Port-Harcourt, Enugu, Onitsha, among others. He owned controlling shares in many top blue-chip corporations that still operate in Nigeria today. Until his death in 1966, the multi-millionaire remained a titan in the nation’s business community.'' The rest of the rich people then were just local champions in their regions whereas Ojukwu Snr had huge assets all over Nigeria. That is a big difference |

Thanks. Now are these people millionaires? If so, is there are record that they were millionaires before Ojukwu senior? Note that it does not matter in which curency one is a millionaire (then). Most people back then will be very poor that the few rich ones in whatever currency can easily be distinguished. ~Bluetooth: |

MrCrackles: I have shown you links. slowpoke. Read them or if you cannot ask your father where he was when Ojukwu senior was making his millions. Ode omo ole. |

Ojukwu Jr. was among the few students and certainly the only Nigerian student riding an impressive car back then at Oxford university. |
Politics / Re: Because Ojukwu Was Involved. by mekuszyx: 7:54pm On Feb 07, 2010 |
MrCrackles:Imbe-cile. Nigeria was using British pounds as far back as after 1914. Was Ojukwu's father doing business with Shell and other multinationals back then with cowries and pebbles? Bloody eediot |
Politics / Re: Because Ojukwu Was Involved. by mekuszyx: 7:50pm On Feb 07, 2010 |
Sefago, Bluetooth, Roadstar, etc Seriously, jokes aside, do you know of any Yoruba milionaire during the time that Ojukwu's father was making his money? Please educate us so we know. No harm in knowledge sharing. Thanks. |
Politics / Re: Because Ojukwu Was Involved. by mekuszyx: 7:46pm On Feb 07, 2010 |
SEFAGO: Did anyone claim Ojukwu's father was the first African millionaire? If so, that will be preposterous since we do not know much about other Africans as of prior to the 1960s. As for me I have always read that he is the first in Nigeria. I like to restrict myself to Nigeria except where the data is clear for the whole AFrica. This is unlike Yoruba-run Yabatech that claimed to be the third oldest in Africa and 27th in the world |

SEFAGO: Was Forbes already in existence before the 1960's when Ojukwu's father was not only the first millionaire in Nigeria but also the only one at that time? Something on Ojukwu snr: Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, OBE, (1909-1966) was a notable Nigerian businessman from Nnewi. Ojukwu was a director in various Nigerian companies and also won a parliamentary seat during the nation's first republic. He attended a primary school in Asaba and the Hope Waddell Institute for secondary education. [edit] Life and career Ojukwu started his professional career at the Agricultural department before leaving to join John Holt as a tyre sales clerk. He also incorporated a textile company in Onitsha to supplement his income during this period, already exhibiting a little bit of his entrepreneurial spirit. While at John Holt, he noticed the severe strain a lack of adequate transportation had on Eastern textile traders. He later left John Holt to create a transport company to improve the trading environment for Nigerian traders. As a transporter, he was a tireless worker and meticulous to detail; he was usually the first to inspect his transport vehicles for oil and leakages. Apart from his work ethic, his success was also oiled by the economic boom after World War II, working with the West African Railway Company and the newly inaugurated produce boards, he provided his fleet for commodity transportation and for other traders use. During the 1950s, he diversified his interest, bought some industries, invested heavily in the real estate sector and became a director in numerous major corporations. He was a member of the board of Nigerian Coal Corporation, Shell Oil, D'Archy, and African Continental Bank. Ojukwu died in 1966, just a year before the Nigerian civil war. His son Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was the leader of the secessionist state of Biafra. |

Folks, There is really no way Yoruba here will be satified with anything Igbo: If Soludo won, they would have said Igbos voted for a thief and for the incompetent PDP (even though there is no charge against Soludo yet) If Ngige won, they would have said Igbos voted for an Okija juju man Now Obi won, it became about Ojukwu Yoruba peps? Highly insatiable. |

Shoot2Kill: What makes you think Obi is not the best candidate to lead Anambra? Do you know that Ojukwu is the head of Obi's party? And if you know this, would you expect him not to support his candidate? |
