Is Adeleke is daddy or he is just saying what he reads on social media. Tinubu has never said he is from Osun state. We all know he is an orphan brought up by Alhaja Mogaji and he has taken Lagos as his state whether his parents are from there or not. |

Yujin:Even Nri is owned by your Igala slave masters. An Igbo slave like you can only say what you want but not what had happened. The Igala mega state attained the height of its fame during the mid-17th century. The rise of the Igala mega state disrupted and contributed to the shift of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade from the Bight of Benin to the Bight of Biafra and the decline of the Benin Empire between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Idah-Benin war (1515–1516) was a war of mutual independence. The Igala state reached its political and commercial supremacy afterwards, when it became a leading exporter of choral beads, horses, medicine, skills and of course, slaves to the coastal region. Its growing power, nevertheless, changed the dynamics of the earlier complex relationships with several northern Igbo communities. Joseph Hawkins in 1797 already captured the relentless raiding of the extreme northern Igboland by the Igalas. In his “A History of a Voyage to the Coast of Africa” he noted the growing conflicts between the ‘Ebo Country’ and ‘Galla’. By the late 17th century, the Igalas conquered and held socio-economic, political and religious control of the indigenous northern Igbo mini-states. From Opi, Nsukka, Nsugbe, several Igbo communities on the Anambra river, the lower Niger, through Okpanam to Asaba the Igala held sway. Trading out post with Onitsha and the Ijo middlemen were fully established. The mythical Omeppa, Inenyi Ogugu set up garrison at Opi and several Igala warlords played their part in the build up of the Igala colonial take over of these northern Igbo states. But no other individual played a greater role in shaping Igala-Igbo colonisation during the 18th century than Onoja Oboni, the legendary Igala warrior and slave trader. Onoja Oboni’s personality and heritage has been shrouded in mythical imagery over time. Ranging from being the Son of Eri, the grandson of Aganapoje to being a descendant of one of the Idah royal families; the priestly sub-clan of Obajeadaka in Okete-ochai-attah. The key areas of consensus are; he was a master strategist, slave raider and trader, conqueror, coloniser and imperialist. Added to these were his diplomacy, expansionist traits and the acculturation of conquered territories. He built himself a walled city in Ogurugu and recent archaeological findings of the remnant of the ruins of his fort on the grounds of the University of Nsukka confirm this. The Igala soldiers built forts and fortifications that stretched from Ete down to Opi and then to Anambra. Oboni’s rise to power affected the history of the North-western Nsukka and the Igbo communities on the Anambra River and the Lower Niger during the Igala commercial and socio-cultural ascendancy and domination. This was the reinforcing of the golden age of Igala imperial expansion. In this way, Igala mega state took control and allegiance were paid. Until the decline of Igala power, the Ezes of Enugu Ezike, Akpugo, Nkpologu, Ibagwa Ani and Opi continued to receive their titles from Idah; investiture, installation and confirmation of their office was only by the royal blessing of Attah Igala in Idah. The Eze were only validated when the returned home with Igala choral beads ‘aka’, staff of office believed to be imbued with protective charms to ensure longevity and security of the Eze as well as prestige animal (horse) to bolster up their ego. There were also periodic royal visits to the Atta Igala to pay tributes and as well intended to strengthen diplomatic ties and inter-group relations, renew allegiance, and assured insurance from slave raids. |

And that man who seems to be carrying a book,is not even afraid of the law enforcement agents. Wetting them with petrol calmly as if he wants to roast rams. Northerners are becoming savages with no qualms for humans' lives at all. |
Mbanda:Even just only Ibadan city is more developed than the entire Igboland infrastructurally and you know it but just acting ostrich. |
Gustavowhite:Don't be a mumu.Only cute Abiola is "they"? When Fulanis,Nupe migrated to Ilorin,they inter -married with the Yorubas,so there is bound to be Yoruba Fulani and Yoruba Nupe bloodline too. When Igala colonised Igboland in 1445,there were inter marriages between the Igalas and Igbos.There is no pure Igbos especially in Anambra,Onitsha to be precise. One of the Chiefs of the Armed forces is an Igboman of the Igala stock. |
Even Trump that doesn't have to travel at all has made 5 international trips to 8 countries during his second presidency. USA has almost everything that a nation needs but their President still travels. Wailers will not like this one bit ![]() |
Go and cool that Genius brain of yours sir. Wailers will not like this ![]() |

Osariemen12:Even with all the evidence posted from the time when my grandfather was not even birthed,you are still arguing. We have nothing to gain financially from this old history but you can't reinvent the wheel,you cant rewrite the history of Benin. The greatest of Benin historian was Jacob Egharevba, his book (Ekharavbi itan Edo (1933) and its first translation A short history of Benin (Lagos, C.M.S Bookshop1936) opened thus ...Many, many years ago, Odua ( oduduwa) of uhe( Ile-Ife) the father and the progenitor of the Yoruba Kings sent his eldest son Obagodo who took the title of Ogiso with a large retinue all the way from Uhe to found a Kingdom in this part of the World. At the moment of his departure his father gave him a charm in the form of a snail shell containing some earth to invest him with absolute power and right over the lands that should come under his sway".P.7 The first and all other Ogisos are from Oduduwa which means that Yorubas were the progenitors of those Ogisos and later Eweka,the first Oba of Benin. Everything revolved around Yoruba. Would you dispute his narration and all the evidences that negate your opinion?

Depriest2020:I have been there even at the thick of sit at home or whatever.There was palpable peace everywhere.It could be isolated spots but East was peaceful. |
RichBoy247:There is no perfect election anywhere.Ask Trump.You didn't teach them,they taught you just took it to a new level. |
That is A blatant,naked rigging. Musa should be sanctioned too. |
Richtaiwo:God bless SE too. God bless all Nigerians,home and abroad. |
Shattuck:GEJ paid only #3.9 trillion fuel subsidy. He started borrowing money to pay workers in 2014 when oil price dropped to $97.8 bpd. ![]() He made #54 trillion in oil sale,depleted the $18 billion ECA fund,depleted our reserve from $43 billion to $28 billion and still borrowed #11 trillion even after Obasanjo gave him a clean slate but the only thing zombies remember is rice selling for #8000 per bag. The wicked leadership knew and still know that Zombies are all about stomach infrastructures. It is easy for any dumb govt,just open the border and things will become very cheap just as your nation collapses. |
obitrac:That Igbos have tangible business abroad? Okay,mention one. Pls,don't run o. |
Gotocourt:That excess crude acct had $18 billion...They swallowed everything except $2.7 billion before Buhari came. When sane people voted against GEJ,some people were talking about bag of rice,garri etc ![]() A foolish and dense govt can provide food easily easily by opening the borders wide for everything to come in and by importing massively and it will eventually lead to the total collapse of Nigeria. |
helinues:Tinubu is taking it to $80 billion - $100 billion. |
CodeTemplarr:That is what GEJ paid as subsidy. You can feel the locusts ![]()

Adebaba1:Not that it could,it will because any mumu that comes in will open the borders totally with everything coming in and there will be ease. The little production done in Nigeria will collapse,businesses will go bankrupt but there will be plenty of food imported with borrowed money and within a few years,everything will collapse.Venezuela will be a child play. Good forbids bad thing. No vacancy in Aso rock. Atiku....Intel firm...gone How many people has he mentored positively? Almost none. Cannot manage people. Cannot manage PDP. Obi....Next international...gone How many people has he mentored....None Cannot manage people,Oseloka..his son and L.P.. Tinubu..The Nation...gidigba. TVC...waxing stronger. Excellent management of humans. Excellent management of APC. Nobody likes bad thing.

SmartPolician:Money is not something that can be hidden because it is for spending.If you have money,the world will know just because of the way you spend it. Technology has made it possible for Forbes,Bloomberg etc to determine the richest in the world especially through your assets etc. They estimate net worth through a comprehensive, multi-source methodology that involves investigative reporting, public filings, financial data, and expert interviews. They value public assets by checking stock prices and estimate private assets by comparing their financial figures to public companies, then subtracting known debts to arrive at a figure. While not always perfectly precise due to the nature of private wealth, their process involves significant research to create an informed estimate. |
gidgiddy:You mean Lagos Island. |
24SEVEN:Failure must always make excuses. Ok,why are Yorubas doing better than your tribe abroad? Abi why did Yorubas do better than you before Nigeria was birthed? Ok,why again did Yoruba do better than your people during regionalism when every tribe,showed their capacity. You see say Yorubas gave always surpassed and still surpassing you. It is natural,sir. |
Maxymilliano: |
Amumaigwe:lol Totally destroyed? What was destroyed,the huts? Destroyed with what? Missiles? Nuclear weapons? Drones? We saw images of Ukraine,Gaza even Israel that was pummeled by Iran. We saw their images of destruction. Please,post the destruction you are talking about. Go to Getty images,Alamy etc and post the images so we can see the huge destruction ![]() Maybe I will post where Biafrans destroyed too. Remember,it takes two to tangle.You killed and destroyed one another. |
DO THE CRIME,DO THE TIME.. |
obitrac:This is what your AI that doesn't know your name or anything about you says... It's challenging to definitively name the single richest tribe among the Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa due to a lack of reliable, comprehensive data, but the Igbo and Yoruba are often cited for their economic prowess, with the Igbo known for business and trade acumen, and the Yoruba for commerce and education. The Hausa also possess significant economic and political power, particularly in Northern Nigeria. Ultimately, wealth is found across all three major groups, and generalizations about entire tribes can be misleading. |
