ilugunboy: This is what your Ibo land look like during the same period.

While Yorubas already have zinc roof covering their heads...your grandfather were still in this stage of human living evolution..

[/s]


am telling you that youroba land is laid back. now you have shown me what SE looks like in 1100AD and I have shown you what they look like in the 1900AD. what is the youroba looks like in the same 1900AD if not like the picture below. who is backward here.

obitwo: What you posted is only a small part of Ibadan

Mind you, Oyo State is as large as all the SE states put together in land mass

Oyo State has more industries and its no wonder the state's GDP is higher than that of any state in the SE

they have all the GDP and landmass but still have the largest army of alumanjiri after kano. they have all these and that but still have the highest povery casulty in nigeria. there is no need to lie. that is how the whole of ibadan looks like. stop the lies.

Midastouch1: For a so called Hausa man, you know more about the Ibos than Hausas

You should be ashamed of yourself Isi ewu

You are not even good at concealing your lies

Illiterate

go through my post. i left niger state 6years ago to the east. my father own trailers. am presently sokoto road, onitsha. tomorrow we are going to ph to do offload. so how are mine so suppose to know the ibos if not by living among them.

PeterKbaba: THOSE IBADAN BUILDING'S YOU SEE ARE BEAUTIFUL FOR TOURIST ATTRACTION...IT SHOWS THE ANCIENT LOOKS OF THE PLACE... CAN'T YOU SEE THE UNIFORMITY IN THE BUILDING STRUCTURES AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THOSE BUILDING ARE FROM THE YEAR 1800.... YOU SHOW US HOW IGBOLAND WAS IN THE YEAR 1800...... WERE YOU GUYS NOT LIVING ON TREES AND EATING YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS LIKE OTOKOTO CANNIBALS

this shows only one thing, that the ibos saw civilization earlier enough than yourobas. although we northerners towers all.

Midastouch1: Ole barrawo Ofon

You are a proper Ndigbo

Why are you ashamed?


Posting pictures of hausa destitutes and calling them Yoruba and you say you are Hausa??

Please post pictures of towns and villages in Alaigbo so we can compare

let me try.

this is bird view ibadan and onitsha. certainly there is no basis for comparison.

another thing i noticed among the ibos is that there is a middle class. there is no few rich people and too many poor peopple. most people i meet here are usually comfortable and average, unlike in the north where you have dangote and all around his town there are army beggars. it is not like that in the east. an average ibo man married one wife. they are models.

superstar1: If you like, you can come from Timbuktu or Kandahar or even tora bora mountain. That is your cup of woteva u drink in ur village

whatever. am i free now to condemn the evil youroba?

coogar: you are a pathological liar suffering from an identity crisis. did you not tell us you were from jigawa state?

if your father marries four wives and they are from different state, don't you have stake in those states? let me tell you my father married 4wives. one from osun, jigawa, minna and kano. at least my earlier post have shown you that at least am not ibo. i have commented against the ibo before.

coogar: you are a pathological liar suffering from an identity crisis. did you not tell us you were from jigawa state?

go through my posts. my father alhaji.....is from niger state, while my mother is from osun state. my mother is equally a moslem.

apart from lagos which is the making of the fg, hausa and ibo there is no reason whatsoever that could have take anybody to SW for anything whatsoever. am i lying?

if am saying the truth- click like

Midastouch1: Provide evidence

You think fake spare parts and fake drugs is superior business sense?

A ma le yin lere se

i still say it yuoroba do not contribute any meaningful thing in this country. i still blame my people that fought the ibos. yourobas are still the only reason nigeria is stagnant. if fg did not develop lagos, this is the only thing youroba land could have given to nigeria. this is not funny.

[s]

PeterKbaba: Everyone in Africa and the world are jealous of Ibos, cause you are the African Jews, even when you dont have any physical evidence to prove it... Yeye dey smell........

LOOK CLOSELY AT WHY THE IBOS WANT TO KILL THEMSELVES OVER YORUBA'S!!! YOU DON'T SEE US MAKING NOISE ABOUT OUT CIVILIZATION!!! EVEN THE EUROPEANS CONFIRMS THAT THaE YORUBA CIVILIZATION WAS THE BEST IN AFRICA, IN COMPARISON WITH ROME AND GREECE

this is the same reason an average youroba is stagnant. be ambitious like the ibos. ibos has the biggest human resources in this country. even though am from the north i have to say the truth. ibos are ambitious people. their 'i can do spirit' is what i have learned from them.

superstar1: What is this one saying?

Because you are employing 5 to 7 boys from your village in the name of learning trade, so u think you an entrepreneur. Or which of your business is a major international player employing more Yorubas.

let the truth be said. apart from small trades, ibos own big corporations in lagos. even hausa owns more. as for yourobas they usually on employment.

He is the governor of my state..but sincerely speaking I cannot come out in the open to say that Aregbesola is my governor..

SEE YOUR LIFE OUTSIDE PATHETIC!!!

yes ofcos my mom is from osun state. so therefore osun is my state also. i will give you my mothers home town in osun if you so wish. bagger

superstar1: Bros you are just dumb. Dumbness personified. Nothing more nothing less.

Case closed

nama. are you getting worked up.

this is youroba dominated areas of lagos

superstar1: The Abia State government last year came up with an ingenious policy. All non-indigenous employees in the state public service, including teachers, were to be relieved of their duties because the government’s resources were meant for the indigenes. Over 80% of the people affected are from Imo, Ebonyi, Anambra and Enugu states. Most leaders maintained a conspiracy of silence on this policy which for long will remain one of the greatest impediments to Igbo unity. Abia State was actually treading the path of the Enugu State government which had in the late 1990s decided to sack all non-indigenes in the state’s public service in order to “save resources”. Almost every casualty is Igbo.



But a number of Igbo social activists have now suddenly found their voice. The overnight activists have created an unmistakable mass hysteria in both the social media and the traditional media over the bogey that Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has been “deporting” Igbo people from the state. Some politicians who are determined to make political capital out of the so-called repatriations have been busy simulating the hysteria. But perhaps, unbeknownst to these people, they are hurting in a most profound manner strategic Igbo interests. No people can survive—let alone—progress on a diet of lies and emotions, or by allowing politicians to create and sustain a culture of paranoia or siege mentality, otherwise called persecution complex.



The Lagos State government launched a few year ago an ambitious project to turn Lagos, Nigeria’s economic nerve centre with a population of some 16million, into a true mega city. This entailed, among other things, the enthronement of a new social order and a different aesthetic regime. Consequently, the state began to clear thousands of homeless people, beggars and urchins from the streets. Thus, a large number of “area boys” who are mostly Lagos Island indigenes, like the governor, are to this day still arrested and hounded into “Black Baria” trucks by Kick Against Indiscipline (KIA) officials. Borrowing a leaf from such places as New York and Hawaii, Lagos initiated a programme of returning many destitute individuals to their home states. Over 3,000 of such people have been relocated back to northern states where they have now been reintegrated with their families. When about 80 were sent to Oyo State in November, 2009, the governor screamed to the high heavens that “they were dumped on Molete “Bridge” in Ibadan.



About 14 destitute people from Anambra State were sent to Onitsha last week because of the failure of the State’s Ministry of Social Welfare to arrange for the arrival of these people , unlike those of Akwa Ibom and Katsina states which made proper logistic arrangements for their own people. A section of the media has since gone to town with the extremely dangerous propaganda that the Lagos State governor is driving Igbo people out of Lagos through “brazen deportations and repatriations”. Even professionals and scholars expected to be more thoughtful and strategic in their actions have capitulated so easily to the mind poisoning reports and have been responding exuberantly. A man who introduced himself as a professor from Nnewi called me on the phone on Thursday morning to assert with so much authority that “only Anambra indigenes are being targeted for expulsion from Lagos because all Nigerians know that Anambra is the leader of the Igbo nation”. A lawyer in Maryland, United States, wrote that Fashola dare not relocate beggars of northern extraction, alleging that the Igbo are the whipping boy of Nigerian politics. He is blissfully ignorant of the thousands of northern beggars taken away from Borno Street in Ebute Metta and environs.



How did the industrious, highly republican and intelligent Igbo people embrace, all of a sudden, this level of groupthink that has made us look like a people with unimaginable amnesia? Only last month, a very big plaza in Olodi, Apapa, belonging to Igbo entrepreneurs and housing hundreds of 1gbo traders was burnt at night. The next day Fashola was at the site and promised to rebuild it at the Lagos State expense. No Igbo governor has visited the place up to this moment, and none has promised to assist the victims. Last December, Ngozi Nwosu, an actress, was reported to be down with a serious liver ailment, so an appeal fund was launched. No Southeast government, including her home state of Imo State, responded, just as no wealthy Igbo men and women did. Only N1.5million out of 6m needed for treatment in the United kingdom, could be raised. Fashola provided the remaining N4.5m. And now some so-called Igbo activists are accusing him of anti-Igbo sentiments.



Two months ago, Fashola completed the biggest housing estate he has built and named it for Emeka Anyaoku, an erstwhile Commonwealth secretary general from Anambra State. At a time some Igbo people cannot be hired as teachers or civil servants in Southeastern states other those of those of their origin, Fashola recruits them in large numbers, with some becoming judges and magistrates. His Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Ben Akabueze, is from the Southeast. The chief executive of the state Infrastructure Maintenance and Regulatory Agency, Joe Igbokwe, is an engineer and publisher from Nnewi. Mac Duruigbo, from Imo State, is Fashola’s Personal Assistant on the Media.



Fashola gave Ikemba Nnewi practically a state burial last year in Lagos, the only non-Southeast governor to accord the famous Biafran leader this high honour. He was the only governor who attended last March the Chinua Achebe colloquium at Brown University in Rhode Island, United States, where he praised Achebe for his monumental achievements at a time the great writer was the butt of criticism by the Yoruba political establishment following Achebe’s unflattering remarks about Obafemi Awolowo in his new book, There Was A Country, a personal account of the Nigerian civil war. So, how did some of us come about the brainwave that the dynamic and cosmopolitan Lagos State governor is anti-Igbo? Simply because his government relocated some Igbo elements to their home state, some of whom came to Lagos to do business but instead took to hard drug consumption and became urchin, better known as “area boys”! Interestingly when Fashola began to crack down on “area boys”, most of whom are from his state, Igbo traders were over the moon, rejoicing that the governor had saved them from the miscreants of “area boys” who had for decades been tormenting the traders daily, extorting huge sums from them and viciously assailing those who refused with dangerous weapons.



There are more Igbo people in Lagos than any other state. There are so many investments in Lagos because Lagos has for long welcomed the Igbo people, enabling NdIgbo to prosper in Lagos more than any other state. And no governor in Nigeria’s history has demonstrated as much affection to our people as Fashola. Commonsense dictates we protect in a strategic manner the interests of our people and reciprocate the friendship of well meaning individuals and groups. It will be a colossal tragedy if we savour the dishes of salacious lies and terrible propaganda which we are being served by opportunistic politicians and garnished by hysterical Igbo social activists. We must be guided at all times by truth and reason.

try harder. ibos have employed for yourobas in lagos than yourobas themselves

thomason: Dont mind him, he is ashamed of his tribe.

We should not look far for the culprit. The hausa-fulani governor of imo state has rejoined his northern cousins.

https://www.nairaland.com/1210238/okorocha-bitten-finger-fed-him

dig all you want it does not change my paternity- niger state

superstar1: You are just an irritant nonentity , attention seeking and attention deprived personality.

We do not have your time.

i will keep coming out with the truth. that is the whole essence.

tigger56: Stop ds lies...I stay in osbourne estate ikoyi and av lots of friends stayin around d island..I can categorically tell u dat majority of the people living on the island are yorubas closely followed by hausas and den d foreigners too...so stop d lies of ibos livin at ikoyi...cos dats all lies...

my friend am from the north, but it will not stop me from saying the truth here. ibos own greater part of ikoyi areas, lekki etc. come to banana island, people like ifeayi uba, emeka ofor has bought greater part of it. stop telling lies here.

these are common sights in yourobaland. most if them are yourobas, some from the north and niger rep

superstar1: Obviously you are not current and exposed enough for me to be discussing with you.

Lemme concentrate my energy on pweety benilily.

then i will follow you bumper to bumper to counter any lie you tell here.

superstar1: Oga create your thread And let us meet you there, if you know you are the true son of hadejia

am in the east now, so i have to say what i have seen here. i used to reason like some of you until i left niger state to the east. ibos are wiser take or leave. i have seen their riches down east. they move all the money down east.

superstar1: Very hardworking indeed. We know it really takes hard work to deal in narcotics, plan armed robbery, kidnap people, package fake drugs, manufacture substandard goods and also to use people for money rituals,

Really hardworking

ibos are into drugs. but when it comes to rituals, occultisom, inbreeding etc leave it for the yourobas. am yet to see an ibo beggar, there is none. i have to say the truth. ibos work hard, that one is true.

superstar1: Oh boy be proud of your heritage and stop deceiving yourself that you are an Hausa boy. Even if you are, shout the F**** up coz this thread is about ibos and Yorubas ..
If you are so eager to be in the heat, create your thread and we shall meet u there

i have right as much as you to comment here. i cannot stand the lies you guys telling here. am in the east now, that is why i have something to contribute.

coogar: scared of igbos? why should yorubas be scared of the people that are helping them to develop their states? if/when the shyte hits the fan, we would see how the igbos would lift their houses on their heads and take them back to the east........

you people don't even know you are leaving nothing for your unborn generation. the development should be concentrated in the east, not lagos. challenge your stüpid governors to create an enabling environment to let igbo sons develop the SE states....




awolowo had turned lagos to los angeles whilst the leaders of the other regions were faffing around. the western region were far ahead in terms of development and civilization. keep spewing nonsense from your mouth - if onitsha/enugu are developed, why are the igbos scared to stay in their own states? why would any igbo man leave his mansion in the east to sleep in the dirty ajegunle in lagos?

does that make sense to you?

which awoa turned lagos to what? you people are still thinking like most of people in the north. until i left niger state i thought the ibos are not coming from the bush. until i got to the east my mentality changed. these people are the one using us all. my friend reason. lagos was a former capital of nigeria and youroba leaders did nothing to make or mar its development. if there are any group that made lagos what it is today it is the fg, hausas, ibos and presently the ijaws/urobos due to oil. as for dirty areas, we all know that it is yourobas that are more in dirty and crowded part of lagos. ibos are smarter they have bought many parts of ikoyi, vi, etc.

coogar: if an average igbo man is smart, they would stay in their states and develop their land. they would not be encroaching other states to sleep under the bridge.

what's the future of the coming generations of igbo kids? the SE states would soon become forests as all the igbos continue to migrate to the SW to eke a living.

which SW? stop mentioning SW, but lagos. because as i told you earlier there is no real ibo man in those rural towns you mentioned outside lagos. my problem with yourobas is that they don't travel. ibos use lagos port to make money while their families and mansions are in the east. i used to have this your type of mentality until i traveled to onitsha and enugu. they are far more developed and organized. they only use the north and SW as commercial battle field afterwards they will push the money to the east. we did haulage for ibeto alot, i went to his house in nnewi, i was ashamed of being a northerner. ibos are smart than you, take or leave it.

coogar: there you have it......from the mouth of a fellow igbo man....80% of the ndigbos made their money in lagos and some charlatans are here spewing piffle and biting the fingers that fed them. bunch of ingrates!

let the truth be said now or never. was lagos considered part of SW before capital was moved to abuja? is just like we middle belt claiming that abuja is our making. yourobas did not contribute anything to lagos. all the roads were already mapped out and done. all fashola did was to paint it and plant flower that all. the ports were built bg fg, the airport was built by fg. that is why i still respect the ibos, they did everything by thenselves. let me tell you the first time i was in onitsha and enugu i was amazed by the development of this ibos, and yet they claim that they are marginalized. below is a typical capital developed by yourobas

superstar1: While will it not be the greatest, selfless, sweetest daddy of your because your eyes are closed to see the obvious that he only used you people to fight his vendetta, egoistic and self fulfilling aggrandisement war. He ran away and left the hapless people to their fate. What a greatest daddy indeed.

which one of your people is as great as Awolowo. He did not organise his people for massacre like your own greatest daddy. That is leadership.

let the truth be said now or never. was it the same awoa that committed suicide. let me tell you, he is not regarded in the north the same way we revere and worship great zik. my gov is in niger state is presently building a monument worth hundreds of millions of naira in honor of zik. l heard fg is building his resting place in onitsha worth billions. awoa is not regarded outside yourobaland. truth

superstar1: so there are no ibos in abeokuta, akure, ado, osogbo, ilesha, ife, oyo. even your brothers will be laffing at you. wont say more than that.

my father has trailers. i travel all parts of nigeria. there is no real ibo man in all those hamlets you mentioned. this is only reason ibos are in lagos; lagos port. when govt complete ibaka deep sea and connect it to onitsha, then you know what will happen to lagos. the only reason this lagos port is busy is because of ibos and govt knows this. the war to keep ibos in nigeria benefited the SW more than we northerners that fuoght the war. the picture below show you the only reason ibos are still in lagos. mind you iboman is smarter than we hausas talkless or yourobas. an average ibo man is very very smart. he can make water out of stone, it was soyinka that made that comment.

tigger56: I am neither ibo nor yoruba but I have lived in both imo state and oyo state (during my youth service) and trust me d development in ibadan is not comparable to small town owerri, owerri can't even be compared to ogbomosho or ilesa,,,,,dats a fact....ask d multitudes of ur folks dat folk not to lagos bt to ibadan, ogbomosho, ilesha, ilorin annually...even in the thick non civilised inter ior yoruba villages u find ibo pple dere...wat re u lot running away from!!!!

ok let the truth be said now or never. is this what you call development? below is the state capital in SW, regional capital for that matter. i told you yourbas are underdeveloped like we northerners. by UN standard this place should be demolished completed and new decent houses built for human habitation.

coogar: 90% of those kids sitting down are igbos - you can tell by the shape of their foreheads. bomboys and emekas!

let the truth be said now or never. does thes people look like ibo. am presently in SE now, ibos does not look black like we hausa and youroba. those people sitting there are my hausa people and yourobas
