Kennyswag:Lol, some of you don't even reason intelligently. The only reason why you guys are not completely conquered like the people of Illorin is because of Igbos. Doing riots in your place or using agberos to attack innocent citizens doesn't mean you're strong. Igbos fought against the rest of Nigeria including the super power nations that gave Nigeria maximum support. Can yorubas dare it? You will rather allow Fulanis conquer the entire SW than fight. You lost Illorin and till this day, your tradition is termed paganism and banned there. Igbos will never allow themselves to be subjected to such dehumanization! Yorubas have never fought any outside aggression and won in history. It's on record that even Dahomey women invaded your territory, killed many of your men and took others captive . Imagine menstruating women invading your land and defeating your men in battle . That's a very shameful record and such has never happened anywhere else in the world ![]() |
igwebuike01:An Indian posted pictures that look exactly like this and claimed it was evidence of an emerging middle class in their country! Igbos no doubt have the largest concentration of middle class Nigerians with only a small percentage in multi-dimensional poverty unlike other regions of Nigeria. |
grandstar:You can call him anything but one can't deny that man's cunning capacity in having his way at all costs. Even Buhari never really wanted him to succeed him but he completely outwitted Buhari. I guess his criminal background, particularly when he operated in the streets of Chicago really helped him to master the game. I really pity North, dude ran them street ![]() |
Error401:Poor education is really affecting you guys badly. What has landmass got to do with cities? Are you aware that the entire SW is about the same size with Niger state. Does it now mean Niger state is more developed? Meanwhile, Imo State has a bigger GDP than your big-for-nothing Oyo state. |
Error401:Nigeria's data is largely unreliable due to politicization of it. However, some things can easily be detected on face value. For instance, you don't need data before detecting that people in Ikoyi are relatively rich. You can see it in the type of houses they live, the cars they drive and their general high living standards. Now, contrast that with places like Mushin, where you can easily observe that the residents are poor. Same way, you can't compare the living standards in Oshogbo or any city in the SW (aside Lagos) to P.H. but you can compare P.H to Owerri or Enugu in terms of living standards. |
Mindlog:The reason why most SW cities are rusty and dilapidated is due to multi-dimensional poverty. Most of those rusted roofs are obviously leaking yet they can't afford to change them talk less of building large number of decent houses. Enugu, Onitsha, Aba and P.H are also relatively old cities yet they continue to evolve and develop because the inhabitants are not dirt poor. |
Beautiful. I couldn't find rusted roofs and dilapidated houses unlike the sadwaste skull mining region ![]() |
OhuDealer:Lol, the only ohu in Nigeria I know of, are those who can't practice their pagan culture on their land just because their their Fulani masters banned it ![]() Meanwhile, if anyone is going to betray Tinibu, it will still be Yorubas. Same way you guys betrayed Awolowo and Abiola ![]() |
silvoclaira:A Northerner being the next president can't be a deal because it's already an agreement since 1999. The North underestimated Tinubu who sold them a dummy. Nothing else! |
Tinubu played a fast one on leaders of Northern Nigeria. He made them believe he was a vegetable. He kept making incoherent gibberishes like someone who is braindead. The Northern leaders fell for it. They thought Tinibu won't be able to perform his roles, so they would be the ones calling the shots. Fast forward to after the election and Tinubu got a new brain. No more balablu nonsense. Then he began to deal decisively with Northern leaders. He first threw El Rufai under the bus. Then removed subsidy which automatically made fuel to become very expensive in the North. He removed Northerners from strategic positions and replaced them with people from his ethnicity. Customs, petroleum etc. Tinubu appointed a Southerner as minister of FCT, thus showing that Abuja is a national heritage unlike in the past when it was only held by Northerners. He doesn't care that he has refused same to be done in Lagos. In other words, Lagos is a property of Yorubas but Abuja is no Man's land He not only gave the appointment to a Southerner but to a "mad man". The same man just seized and destroyed over 500 bikes owned mostly by Northerners!Another Yoruba man who is also Tinubu's lead council openly stated in a forum that "Nigeria" is a rubbish name and there must restructure. Ironically, he sounded very much like Nnamdi Kanu, the popular secessionist leader who is in prison. Most Northern leaders are now in apprehension. They don't even know where to start in confronting the monster they fed but is now swallowing them. As it stands now, it's the tribunal they're hoping will do the needful. |
creativehubb:Where is the lies in what the op stated? Some of you are allergic to truth and it's quite unfortunate. |
proeast:💯 |
IBB ruled Nigeria for several years. However, the most famous legacy he left behind was a very popular and prophetic statement he made. After annulling the 1993 general elections that was aclaimed to have been won by Abiola. There was a lot of noise by his people and it got to a point that IBB was forced to release a statement, which not only went viral but has today proven to be so prophetic. When a coup occurred in Niger republic, Tinubu immediately rallied others and threatened he would invade Niger republic if the coup leaders fail to return Bazoum to power. He even banged his hands on the table to show how determined he was. However, the Niger authorities, maybe acting on IBB's famous statement decided to make a mockery of Tinubu. They organized a rally where they gave him a new name "Ebola". They knew he couldn't do anything because of their history as noted by IBB. It's not as if Nigeria is not powerful enough to invade Niger in the actual sense. After all, we have once intervened in Liberia and Searra Leone that are far away. How much more Niger that is at our backyard. Today, many months after the coup in Niger republic and Tinubu's childish rants, nothing has happened. So, indeed IBB actually made the the most prophetic statement ever by a Nigerian leader.

GeneralPula:Lol, you need to read about the war and gain more knowledge. I have read lots of it including versions written by Igbos, foreigners and other Nigerians. Owerri was lost by Biafrans and later recaptured by them. I think it was in 1968. Even Obasanjo was said to have been shot when Nigerian army were retreating. |
StreetFight:Lol, someone that can't even practice their own culture on their land, is here talking where men are involved. Have you guys fought any war in your history? It's not as if you haven't had reasons to fight, but due to fear and lack of men who are bold and courageous. Igbos that fought a bitter war still have their lands in tact, but you that never fought a war lost an entire city?! Do you know the implications of not being allowed to practice your culture in the land of your forefathers? That can only happen to slaves!!! |
ruggedtimi:Lol, is that the lies they told you? China requested that Ojukwu should grant them rights to the crude oil in Biafra before they would support, Ojukwu refused and that was it. France never supported Biafra, if they did, they would have used Cameroun to supply us ammunition. Tanzania? Belgium? Lol, Tanzania and Haiti only gave moral support, they never supported tangibly and neither did they have the resources to do so. |
GeneralPula:They've already won the battle for Owerri. They were only celebrating the victory. Did you observe any return fire? |
43Ronin:I watched an old documentary where the then British prime minister, Harold Wilson secretly ordered the loading of ships with tanks, artillery, bombs and guns for delivery to Nigerian army. He was desperate to protect their former colony and the resources. It was indeed a very cruel genocidal war. Biafrans were blockaded on land, air and sea yet the opponents kept receiving shiploads of ammunition, personnel and logistics. |
It's like it was in this battle for Owerri that Obasanjo escaped with bullets in his buttocks ![]() That's Onitsha road approaching Control, I can see the roof of Maria Assumpta Cathedral in the distance. Afonjas keep hiding behind Nigeria to challenge Igbos as if they can stand Igbos in warfare. They even lack courage and fighting spirit. Even ijaws will subdue them if they're left to fight each other ![]() |
Our brave and courageous fathers. These were men of valour!!! They fought hard even when the odds were stacked against them. Britain, Russia, Egypt, Syria, ECOWAS etc backed Nigeria with heavy armaments, logistics and personnel. The Biafrans were completely blockaded yet we fought back with all our might for good 3 years!!! Which other group in Nigeria or even Africa can do that? If it were a particular group in Nigeria, they will all run into Benin republic before the first shot is fired ![]() They lost a whole city without a fight ![]() |
Hahahaha, El Rufai the Rastafarian is now using the war to fight back against his humiliation. I thought they said he is strong and indomitable, so why is he now acting cowardly? El Rufai come outside and fight back like a man, Tinubu has disgraced you ![]() |
2pacarnate: |
End Ebola pandemic now before he ends Nigeria!!! This country is going down everyday and if Ebola pandemic is not removed by any means necessary, Nigeria may not survive!!! |
Nairaland24:Lol, kiddo. While you were still in diapers, Igbos have been all of that! Igbos have ruled Nigeria through Aguiyi Ironsi and Nnamdi Azikiwe. Igbos have ruled as vice president through Alex Ekwueme and Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu. Igbos have been Senate president through Evan Enwerem, Chuba Okadigbo, Pius Anyim etc. Igbos have been speaker House of Representatives through Edwin Ume Ezuoke and Emeka Ihedioha etc. When ignorant kids like you decide to disgrace themselves online like you just did, I only shake my head. |
