Everybody in Nigeria dey complain of Almajiri invasion and Ibo sef dey open mouth talk.
Orisirisi.

Yanminri should keep mouth shut when other people reject almajiri in their region. Your people have been a social nuisance in cities and towns across Nigeria and no one rejected you.

I'm amazed at the news streaming from Kano.

What has religion got to do with testing for a global virus?

So if i hadn't tackled you this how you would have been claiming that Yorubas built a world class deep sea port before the British came

meeky007:
■ When earliest explorers became acquainted with the coast of West Africa, the only organised people they met were Biafrans. No Fulani, no Hausa, no Yoruba only Biafra. This is a time when Ethiopia was called Abyssinia. This is the SACRED land of the Ancients some fools want us to abandon for a man made contraption created in 1914, named by a harlot and legitimised by half-educated black morons in 1960.

Nonsense

So in short you have no info about this port? So you dey lie

nku5:
That article is from the official Commonwealth website

nku5:
No need for awada kerikeri. Just share the sources you have about this "profitable" Palma port. Was it a port like the one the British built at Apapa? Or was it a natural waterfront where kosoko used to tax fishermen and other moderate vessels?

Where are the facts and written records? Your report says nothing substantial

AhoadaRivers:
She was listening to hateful yorubas like metaphysical, minorityopinion, grayoso, jamo44 etc.

They misled her.

Why are you trying to spin a very simple report. All the colonial officer said that after Kosoko was driven out of Lagos he retired to Epe and claimed Palma (a coastline area around Lekki) as his own "port"/territory and the British recognised his claim to Palma and allowed him to administer it free from British interference. Unless there is another document you have to back up this report, there is no reference at all to a PORT in the conventional sense. Of course fishing boats and very small vessels could berth there and they still do till this day but Yorubas did not have the know-how, capability or technology to build a port. The report says NOTHING about the nature of the port except that Kosoko claimed that area and named it his port. Palma was a waterside and nothing else. I know that part of Lagos like the back of my hand, if there was an ancient port built by Kosoko it would have been known

Really? So all the slaves they had been buying in exchange for mirrors and whiskey since the 1700s was not trade Read well -

Colonial period
In the 15th century, Benin began to trade with the Portuguese, selling slaves and acquiring spices, firearms, the art of writing and the Christian religion. By the 18th century, the British had displaced the Portuguese as leaders of the slave trade. A century later, in 1807, the missionaries’ campaign against slavery had gained support, leading the British parliament to ban the slave trade. The navy began to patrol the coast, arresting slavers and settling captured slaves (most of them Nigerians) in the resettlement colony of Sierra Leone. Several missionaries in Nigeria were themselves freed Nigerian slaves who had converted to Christianity in Sierra Leone. The missionaries introduced quinine to control malaria, a new trade in palm oil also began, and the economies of southern Nigeria became increasingly powerful. Steamboats took this new culture up-river and into the forests

Yorubas are in no position to lecture anybody especially the South East about the need to enter into alliances to get the presidency. The whole country left the presidency for you people in 1999 because of the equity and fairness that you are trying to downplay today. Yorubas did not enter into any alliance before you were given the president out of PITY over MKO Abiola's death

Igbos don't even need this presidency you are all ready to die for, we need to leave this country for you NURTW people and your masters up north But if na matter of alliance and fairness you know Igbos are the people who will get it in 2023. But we no need am, give us a referendum instead

All your post shows is that God created the waterside and coastlines

The British built the ports in the 1850s to accommodate their large vessels which they used to ship resources from the hinterland to their country.

Yorubas have not built any port till date

Pearl Harbor was established on the Hawaiian island of Oahu in 1908, Liberty Statue was built 1875, can you kindly tell us, which complex was built during those days that's still standing in your dream port?

nku5:
So because Kosoko use red eye claim land and natural harbour at Palma (Ibeju-Lekki/Epe area) from where he was on exile come call am "port" you think it is anywhere near the calibre of a real port chai okay ooo

Maadoo:
I guess u mean a canoe port... smh. Lagos had a port yet, Oba Dosumu fell for ordinary Mirror. Them use mirror mumu am, to hand over Lagos to them. Lagos was taken without a gunshot or resistance.

Igboid:
No victor No vanquished.

You were a vassal to Hausa/Fulani during the war.
Awolowo conceded that West was under Hausa/Fulani soldiers siege. You were vassals and have not earned the right to talk when free people are.
The perfect example of a slave that sees the chains as neckless.

Look at you all green with envy and anger because Ndiigbo will not serve your masters.

Maadoo:
I even thought you were smart. In trying to dismiss the effort of those developing Lagos, you also didn't or couldn't prove that yorubas developed Lagos.

Who were the ruling elites before independence at the federal level and in Lagos? The colonial masters. Hence they employed the manpower from all tribes to which igbos were heavily represented. Resources were contribute by all region to the federal purse, and of-course, Lagos was the capital of Nigeria and as a British colony, enjoyed unlimited developmental attention.

Even at that, In 1954, there was no lekki, there was no Gbagada, there was no Ajao estate, there was no Ajah, there was no Amuwo odofin, there was no Ago palace way, there was no gowon estate, there was no Buckner in Okota. There are so many places that were never in existence in 1913 but exist now. Was it the white man that developed it? The Lagos the white man left at independence is not the same as what it is today except you mean, Lagos hasn’t change since the Whitman left. The real developers of Lagos aside government projects, are the individual real estate developer, converting slums, farmland and settlements to prime real estate quaters, either for commercial or residential use. The industrialist, company Onwers, market man and women keeping the economy running and of course oil money from niger delta oiling there pocket of the government, which it uses to support for roads, water, electricity Development and other amenities.

Nigeria had her independence in 1960 and oil boom started in 1970. Cocoa money only developed Ibadan. Third mainland bridge was oil money, cocoa money started OAU in ibadan before moving to its permanent site in Ile ife with A single building serving as the vice chancellors building but now converted to faculty of agriculture. That was the only building constructed with cocoa money. The rest was oil money. 3rd mainland bridge is oil money.

The East was controlled by the Eastern tribes with Enugu as it’s capital, West by majorly the yorubas with Ibadan as it’s capital. The same way igbos migrated to Lagos is the same way majority yorubas migrated to Lagos.

If you want to talk of Yoruba development. Talk of Ibadan and stop trying to steal or downplay other people’s effort.

Ibadan is your shame, deal with it .

NYM fractured after Ikoli from SS defeated Zik candidate, Akinsanya an Ijebu Yoruba man.

Zik took his NYM controlled faction comprising of mainly Igbos and Ijebu Yoruba supporters and United with Herbert Macaulay NNDP to form NCNC.


Ndiigbo can never let Biafra be. Any one who doesn't wish us Biafra actualization but rather constitute a resistance to us, whether subtly or conspicuously, can never be a friend to Ndiigbo.

Biafra is the heart beat of Igbo nationalism. You can't claim to love Ndiigbo and hate Biafra. That's like cognitive dissonance.

Ndiigbo would become friends with Yorubas once we are both independent nations.
It will dissipate the built up animosities and anger, resentment and malice.
Any Yoruba man seeking for good relationship between Yoruba and Igbo under Nigeria, is being delusional. It will not happen. Not now, not in a million years time.

Ndiigbo can never happily share a country with Yorubas ever in this universe.
The events of 1967-70 cannot be undone. We have reached a point of no return with each other.

If the SW is to aspire to the Presidency then there is no point power coming down to the South since the aim has been defeated. All 6 geopolitical zones should aspire to Presidency and whoever gets the most votes should carry the day

NGpatriot:
Ode, Yoruba people don't have to come up with any money to build anything, all they have to do is to come up with the ideas and vision and source for funds from investors, this is how such major projects are funded all over the world, but this is a foreign concept to villagers like you hence the reason why your kerosene and wheelbarrow leaders can not come up with anything, this is why you must beg abd beg the FG to do everything for you like little babies.

In fact, going by your dumb logic, you can not do anything for yourself until Yoruba people are able to fund projects? You ipobs and your elementary rubbish sha.

Abeg, Yoruba people are a million miles above your village level.
