They call it Igbo coup, yet the quellers of the coup were Igbos. They call it Igbo coup, yet Awo was to be the beneficiary. |
Omo negro dudu, do u have a life outside NL? |
There are still 100s of 1000s of northerners in Igboland. So what is the big deal about Igbos who wish to, returning to the North |
1. Igbos love their land too. That is why they cry for Biafra 2. Yorubas are living in Igboland, asking for free land and even accusing the govt of ethnic motives when the govt wants to use Igbo land for development (these topics are all here on NL) 3. Igbos buy land in Lagos and do not ask for free land in Yorubaland. Yet, Yoruba govts destroy Igbo shops at will and the ever present Yoruba agberos extort Igbo specifically. 4. Yoruba land is less safe for Igbos than Igboland is for Yoruba. 10s of Igbos have been kidnapped and killed by Yorubas (also posted here on NL). No Yoruba has been treated that way in the East 5. Today we hear from rabid ethnicists that Igbos are the targets of Northerners, tomorrow they say all other Nigerians are also killed not only Igbos. There are many flip floppers around here, people. 6. Igbos are killed, as are Yorubas and other Nigerians in the North. Lets stop living in denial. 7. Yoruba land does not sustain Igbos more than Igboland sustains the Yorubas living there. |
alj harem:You small-time liar. Dangote has no branches in Igboland. It was a depot owned by an Igbo man who sells Dangote products that you showed. Repost your so-called link let others judge. Onye oshi like you. |
http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news/36427-boko-haram-massob-evacuates-156-igbo-from-kano.html Boko Haram: Massob evacuates 156 Igbo from Kano By Nwanosike Onu, Awka 10 hours 33 minutes ago Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font Chief Raph Uwazuruike Chief Raph Uwazuruike Leader of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Raph Uwazuruike, yesterday evacuated 156 Igbo sons and daughters from Kano State. The MASSOB leader sent three Ezenwata transport buses to bring Ndigbo back from the North. They arrived at about 5.30 a.m yesterday. As early as 7am, some of the returnees from both Imo and Abia states were seen being taken to their destinations. The National Director, Information and Communications of the MASSOB, Uchenna Madu, told The Nation yesterday that Boko-Haram sect is a conspiracy by the Northern region against President Goodluck Jonathan’s administartion. He said Ndigbo in the North had been directed by the MASSOB to come back home to their region, adding that the essence of sending vehicles to them was to save their lives first, before their property. According to Madu, “we are still articulating and counting our loses on what happened at Onitsha on Thursday and when the time comes, MASSOB would react”. There was angry protest in Onitsha on Thursday following the killing of an Igbo lorry driver by a policeman over N20. The residents of the commercial city including MASSOB members were among those who embarked on the protest, which forced the northerners to relocate to near by Asaba, capital of Delta state. Though, normalcy has returned to the commercial city of Onitsha, where the state commissioner of Police, Muhtari Ibrahim and some senior members of his command had relocated since the incident, one could still feel the tension in the air. However, Anambra state Deputy Governor, Emeka Sibeudu has equally visited the commercial city of Onitsha where he addressed the residents and enjoined them to remain calm. He said that the state government in conjunction with security agencies would make sure that such a situation doesn’t repeat itself again. There was panic among the Hausa group yesterday in Awka and Nnewi respectively as they fear for any reprisal attack. One of them who just mentioned his name as Aminu told The Nation that if he had his way, he would slaughter all the so called members of the Boko-Haram sect who he said had been causing confusion in the land. He said that the people have made them to continue to live in fear in an environment they have lived in for the past 30 years and prayed Allah to clip the wings of the so called sect members. |

Varsity lecturers weep over burnt property by Akinwale Aboluwade, Ibadan Some lecturers of Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo in Oyo State, on Monday wept uncontrollably as the school authorities went round the university to assess the level of damage during a students' protest. advertisement AdChoices Some aggrieved students of the university went on the rampage on Sunday to protest against the death of a 300-level Computer Science student, Elvis Paul, said to have died while receiving treatment at the school's health centre earlier on Sunday. The students, who argued that the 22-year-old died as a result of the delay in attending to him by the health centre officials, reportedly set the Accounting and Economics departments ablaze. They also allegedly vandalised the health centre and a blue Mercedes Benz 200 belonging to a lecturer. Some lecturers of the university, who were affected by the arson, were seen crying. A lecturer in the Management Information and Systems Management Department, Dr. Olajide Ogunsola, said some of the lecturers in the department lost vital documents to the fire. "The department was burnt down with our labour therein. Imagine all the books and research works of 40 years have been burnt. All my books have been burnt," Ogunsola said. Other lecturers, who did not give their names, said it was difficult for them to estimate the cost of the items that they lost to the fire. Describing the situation as unfortunate, Ogunsola said it was disappointing that the students went as far as destroying school's and lecturers' property. With this, he said, the students compounded their woes. It was learnt that Paul had been recently reprimanded by the disciplinary committee of the university. However, some students, who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, said the deceased was loved by co-students because he was very intelligent. The deceased, who allegedly got drunk at a night party on Saturday, went to the health centre for treatment as a result of severe headache. According to an official of the health centre, the deceased died of food poisoning. However, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Timothy Jaiyeoba, could not be reached http://odili.net/news/source/2012/feb/9/820.html |
dayokanu:Is he anywhere close to being as wasted as Majek? No. Does he command respect amongst Lagosians? Yes. Case closed. Lets deal with Majek Why are you guys denying him and pushing him to Edo people? |
dayokanu:Duh! Charlie Boy is still sane an healthy and commands a lot of respect amongst your Yoruba brothers. Can you say that for Majek from Osun state? |
nolongtin:You ignorant man ![]() Fashek was born in Benin City, Nigeria to an Edo mother and a Yoruba fatherhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majek_Fashek |
Ondo/Ekiti/Edo are the bastions of hard drug production in Nigeria. Could that explain why Majek who is either from Ondo or Ekiti or Edo got wasted like this? |

tochimas:Thanks. What Igbos lack is the publicity and marketing needed to survive in Nigeria. We need branding in those areas. Indeed, Igbo-produced Nollywood movies and Aba made shoes taken out of Nigeria to other African countries alone surpass what income some Yoruba states (Ekiti Osun) can ever contribute to Nigeria Just visit any African country and see how Nollywood has projected Nigeria. Yorubas know the art of marketing, like making all sorts of false claims. Before now many did not know that most newspapers and banks in Nigeria are not owned/managed by Yoruba. But these are the things they often claim just because those ventures are located in Lagos. |
Yoruba men are increasingly killing their wives these days |

manny4life:Precisely IGR generated and used by individual states has nothing to do with the Nigerian economy as states do not contribute their IGR to the national coffers In terms of national IGR (with the exception of oil) Igbos are on top because we are, more than others, involved in importation for which custom duties are the second generator of income after oil Some debunkers on reliance on IGR: 1. Some governors dont declare all they get as IGR 2. Some Nigerians who can afford to pay taxes often manipulate the system because they are self employed and can afford to hide around without having their tax money deducted from an organized employer 3. Some state revenue officials have duplicate receipts that they issue to tax payers and so pocket any tax money receipted with such fake receipts. This affects the true IGR declared by such states I can go on and on to debunk the myth of IGR as it affects Nigeria--------a thoroughly corrupt country. |
reporter?:It is not simply about regions. It is about who owns what in any region. Otherwise, you will have to explain why the average Yoruba even in their own land is by far poorer than Igbos in Yorubaland. Dangote cannot employ more people than the oil industry. Neither can you discount the millions of Igbos who are gainfully self employed all over Nigeria and paying their taxes wherever they live. That fact of self employment again explains why poverty is least among the Igbos. SE is the least in what? Can you make yourself clear? If you mean state IGR, what has that got to do with the contrubution to the nation? Is IGR generated in Oyo sent to Abuja as a contribution to the federal purse by Oyo? Your point is completely forlorn. If people gravitate to whareva you claim, what are Yorubas doing in the East (SS and PH). Do you know the thousand of Yorubas working in the oil companies outside Yorubaland and those driving taxis and selling agbo and mamput in Igboland? What are they doing in those places if their land is rosy? Most Igbos in SW and North go there not because it is rosy (otherwise we would see the rosiness in the indigenes). They go there to exploit their talent in one or two things. Note that average Igbos in Igbo land are also doing better than average SWners. All the facts are here on NL. I repeat, only about 10% of companies in Lagos are owned by Yorubas. The rest are by Igbos. The few rich Yorubas grab everything leaving the prependerance of their people in the lurch. The bulk of companies in Lagos are owned by other Nigerians and foreigners (multinationals). All the companies in Agbara are multinationals and many of them also have branches in the East. That is why most Yorubas are poor. 95% of teh wealth in Igboland is Igbo-owned. Only about 40% of the wealth in Yorubaland is Yoruba owned. Igbos owne a good cunk of the ewalth in Lagos. Go figure |
alj harem:What does the SW contribute to Nigeria? Can you define IGR? Can you differentiate federal IGR from state IGR? Does IGR generated in Ondo get sent to Abuja? If not, what has state IGR got to do with contribution to Nigeria? How do SW states (minus Igbo people in those states) generate more revenue for the country than SE states? Do you care to know that some of the IGR in SW states come from Igbos there? |
woodcook:That is what he is claiming. |
jason123:Well get the full list of daily oil contribution. Only then can we begin to talk. We know how Nigerian journalists dish our half-baked news. |
reporter?:80% of the industries in Lagos are not owned by Yorubas Of those not owned by Yorubas, many are owned by Igbos. I cant even begin to list them You lie about industry viability elsewhere. You need to visit Nnewi and parts of Enugu and Abia. Agbara Industrial estate contains 100% multinationals not owned by Yorubas and branches of those companies such as PZ, Nestle, etc are also in Aba In fact the biggest brewery in Africa is in Enugu state, yet the h/q of the parent company (NBL) is in Lagos The question is how many Nigerian companies are owned by Igbos versus Yoruba? |
All SW states are listed as financially dead or dying We all read the news here Anambra and Abia are among the 6 viable states Imo is somewhat viable Only Ebonyi is/could be in real trouble in the SE |
Two biggest money earners for Nigeria 1. Oil (Igbo dey contribute too) 2. Importation (almost Igbos own that turf) Human resources- na we dey manage that area. Most foreign dollar remittances to Nigeria- We are in charge Little wonder Igbos are the least affected by poverty in Nigeria TYorubas are the worst affected by poverty in southern Nigeria |
jason123:List the 9 or so oil-producing states and show their daily production Do Cross River and Edo produce more than Imo or Abia? BTW, most if not all Oil in Ondo is offshore. |
alj harem:What does Oando and Adenuga contribute? They steal subsidy money and Glo is owned by IBB. Dangote is fronting for Obj and other military big wigs who enriched themselves with our colective money. Only Igbos and SS ones ones on your list do their own thing. Danjuma is living on oil block from the SS If you want to list the oil cabals (Oando, Adenuga) then you must list their Igbo counterparts too. |
Going by Rhino's claim that Igbos living in Kano (I mean people who gain nothing from the Govt of Kano) are parasites, it means anybody anywhere not in his natural homeland is a parasite. All Nigerians in the USA, UK etc are parasites and so are all Americansm British elsewhere other than their countries So are Yorubas in Kano, PH (including Rhino himself), Igboland, and elsewhere. |
Obiagu1:The guy you are responding to is a stark illiterate. Even with the bigger populatin, how many people are working in kano and paying taxes compared to Rivers? Most are illiterate, the women wont even be allowed to work. |
alj harem:The state IGR has little to do with Nigeria. It is states money. So that is not a contribution tenable for this thread. Besides, 60% of the IGR in Lagos and some good chunk in Kano are from Igbo people |
A tiny example of Igbo contribution to Nigeria. Over 50% of the names are Igbo. Some of the English names on the lists could also be Igbo people. How many Yoruba? This has been the trend since Adam. Keshi invites 30 against Liberiahttp://odili.net/news/source/2012/feb/3/509.html |
Most of the palm oil you eat in Nigeria (North and Lagos) comes from states such as Imo, Abia, Anambra and the SS states (minus Bayelsa) |
turst me you are just delusional
